Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 65 The Golden Ship is going to hold a celebration banquet
With Te Bie Zhou's encouragement, Beibu Xuanju excitedly turned around and ran towards the gate, and the slight nervousness in his heart had disappeared.

When she arrived at the Chiba Prefecture academy branch yesterday, she thought that after winning two games, she would not be nervous about the upcoming Spring Championship.

But after actually setting foot on the Zhongshan competition field, she found that just like in the Tokyo competition field, the tension brought about by the unknown outcome of the game had taken hold of her heart again.

Perhaps because I had experience before, I didn't become as overwhelmed as the previous two times.

At least this time I didn't cause any embarrassing incidents like wearing shoes backwards or being unable to take off my coat.

But precisely because of this, I don't know how to eliminate the little bit of tension I feel.

The training and study have been very hard.

I have been seriously consulting with seniors, reviewing my lessons, and running and practicing on the lawn at home on weekends.

The preparations before the game and the trainer's explanations were also done thoroughly and carefully, and I understood them.

At this point, I really don’t know what else I can do to enter the gate without any nervousness.

So, I really want to thank Senior Xiao Te, and of course everyone and the trainers.

With their support and encouragement, I have been able to get to where I am today.

Good! Then I will definitely win this Spring Championship!
With high aspirations in mind, Northern Black Horse, the first horse girl to enter the gate, stood inside the gate, secretly excited.

Then, the others should be entering the gate soon, and then it’s time to race…

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look back in the direction she came from.

At this moment, the cheers that erupted from the audience made her look over unconsciously, feeling a little dazed.

Hey? Did Indomitable Shingan-san show up? That's not right, isn't she Gate 6? Why is she so busy now...

In Northern Xuanju's opinion, she was only ranked 5th in popularity in this match. Although there were cheers when she appeared in the circle, it was obviously not as enthusiastic as that of the 1st popular contestant, Indomitable True Steel.

She didn't care about that.

She understood very early on that in the music industry, only musicians who can produce good works and sing good songs will be popular and their concerts will be packed with audiences.

And what she heard from Yasui Makoto yesterday made her realize that the world of Uma Musume was also like this, but she had not realized it before.

She was working hard, Yasui Zhen was working hard, and her classmates, opponents, and their trainers also never slacked off.

Then it is normal that others are more popular because they have better achievements in the past, or have many outstanding predecessors in their families, or their trainers are very famous.

Instead of worrying about this, it is better to focus on the subsequent games.

Ultimately, as a horse racing girl, whether it is popularity or performance, it all depends on running step by step with your own feet.

As she was thinking this, she was about to look back at the runway when her ears moved slightly.

The cheers from the audience gradually became clearer, and the sounds echoing in the stadium gradually became unified.

The opponents behind also cried out in surprise, shouting the same words.

Or say a name.

The radio also shouted out the name excitedly.

"Golden Ship!

"Dear viewers! Here are the results from the Hanshin Arena!
"G2 Hanshin Grand Prix, 3000m on grass, the winner is...

"Golden Ship!!"

Afun-senpai...!
After being stunned for a while, Beibu Xuanju looked at the broadcast in surprise, and then at the audience.

Great! The trainer was right, Afune-senpai really did win the Hanshin Grand Prix! That's fantastic!
I'm so envious of Yamato-senpai and Vodka-senpai, who can see Afune-senpai live...

After the excitement and surprise, she thought with regret. At this moment, as if hearing an auditory hallucination, an extremely familiar voice echoed over the Zhongshan stadium.

"Yeah~ Yeah~ Hoo-ho~ You're shocked by the heroic presence of the Golden Ship Master, right? Hoo-ho-ho, that's only natural!"

Hey? Why is Senior Achuan here... No, it's a live broadcast!
After a moment of confusion, Beibu Xuanju realized that the senior's voice came from the direction of the big screen in the stadium, and he suddenly turned around to look.

The next second, on the stadium screen that was dozens of meters wide and more than ten meters high, a tall horse racing girl with long silver-gray hair, brown earmuffs, and a tall figure came into her sight.

That was the golden ship.

On the screen, the horse girl stretched her arms horizontally, making a scissors hand gesture with each hand, as if imitating a big crab.

Her movements are also very similar to those of a crab. She holds up a pair of "crab claws", with her legs bent, facing the camera, and moves sideways left and right like a crab.

At the same time, laughter was heard in the broadcast, and the same sound was heard in the audience seats at the Zhongshan stadium.

The radio commentator's next words were also clearly filled with laughter.

"Our Golden Ship is still very active and powerful, instantly shattering all the pessimistic rumors."

Then, commentary and explanation followed.

"That's right. Ever since the Takarazuka Memorial last year, public opinion has not been optimistic about the status and strength of the Golden Ship.

"Especially after the Sapporo Memorial, her performance has been less than satisfactory, and the Arc de Triomphe was obviously affected by the venue, which made public opinion increasingly pessimistic.

"But with a beautiful win by 1 / lengths at the Hanshin Grand Prix, I think those perceptions will vanish.

"She will be leaving for the Emperor to enjoy the spring. We have every reason to believe that she will bring..."

It was obvious that the commentator wanted to give some praise to the Golden Ship.

However, it was interrupted by the golden ship on the big screen.

"Hey, hey! Can you hear me?"

At some point, the golden ship on the screen stopped its crab steps, suddenly put its hands on its hips, leaned forward, and stared at the camera.

“I don’t know if it can reach you, but whatever!

"Xiaobei, I'll just assume you can hear it!
“I’ve learned from Yamato and Vodka that you and I will be fighting today, and it’s the 11th game for both of us.

"I have won ahead of you now, so you must try your best.

"Come on! I'll throw a celebration party for you!"

Through the broadcast on the stadium screen, these words were clearly heard by everyone in the Zhongshan stadium.

Hearing this, Northern Xuanju, who was already full of confidence, became even more excited. He raised his arms and shouted at the screen, regardless of the fact that the Golden Ship could not hear him at all.

"Alright! I will definitely win this match! Don't worry, Senior Afun!"

A slightly surprised voice came from the radio.

"Xiao Bei... is he the Northern Xuanju competitor from this Spring Championship? It seems like this competitor has a good relationship with the Golden Ship.

“I hope Northern Xuanju can live up to the expectations of their seniors and give us a wonderful game.”

Afterwards, PES quickly returned to the Spring Championship.

"The Hanshin Grand Prix has now concluded with great fanfare. Everyone participating in the Spring Championships, please be prepared and enter the gates in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff.

"Then, it will add a similar excitement to today's Zhongshan competition."
