Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

This performance, in the eyes of most viewers, was not as exciting as the previous ones, and the lyrics were somewhat incomprehensible.

It's as if you've put another story into this song and sung it.

However, Dongshang Biange knew the true meaning of this song.

That was a song sung to her of the notebook "Saint Blade" that she still cherishes to this day.

"ALMIGHTY～仮面のRESTRICTION".

Magic, courage, story, promise, future.

These were things she and Stardust Illusion used to discuss endlessly in their spare time.

In their fantasy, they become heroes—a magician and a swordsman traveling together—to save the world...

(Saber really hasn't forgotten that story...)

The little witch, who had been feeling down a few days ago because Stardust Illusion said that the story was just something that happened during her teenage years, has finally resolved her last unresolved issue.

It is precisely because of this that the transformation of Dongshang can be confirmed, and this song is undoubtedly a gift to the only contestant who is not on stage... her Dongshang transformation.

"Stardust Illusion... It feels like she was some little kid who doesn't know anything, following behind me. It was just yesterday."

Dong Shang shook his head, recalling the past and sighing:

"I never imagined that in just one year, she would grow so tall and even catch up with me."

"But that's perfect. I've come to understand that to truly master the magic of the game, you need a powerful enemy as your nemesis."

"He fought alongside his nemesis, grew stronger, and ultimately became the strongest—that's how it's described in Oguri Hat's biography!"

"Growing together through struggle...that's so well said...so good!!!"

Suddenly, Ikeda shouted in the street, startling not only the East Merchants Bureau but also passersby.

Everyone turned their heads, only to see a girl wearing cat-ear hair accessories suddenly bend down, gripping the wheelchair handles tightly with both hands, making a creaking sound.

"Keep running! Sweepy, I'll always support you!!!"

"Wait! You idiot! What are you doing—~~~~~~"

Before Dong Shang could finish his terrified words, the wheelchair was suddenly thrust forward and out of the room.

Pushing the cart, Ikeda was filled with enthusiasm, and her steps became even stronger.

Having already mastered many running techniques as a racehorse trainer, she couldn't resist using them on herself.

"Yada!!! Yada yada yada yada~! Ikeda, you idiot, I'm going to use magic to blast your teeth away!!!"

Along the street, a series of screams from young girls could be heard.

However, the two were playing around and did not notice that a long downhill slope suddenly appeared in front of them.

Even ordinary passersby couldn't help but worry about what might happen if they saw the girls playing and running around and the steepness of the slope.

"Hey, be careful, the road ahead is downhill."

A passerby spoke up, but it was too late to stop them.

"Oops--!"

Having just dodged the palm strike from the Eastern Merchants Reform, Ikeda straightened his head and noticed the strange situation ahead.

She instinctively stepped forward with both feet, trying to stop abruptly in front of the slope with her hands, but forgot something very important.

That is, even if she stops now and pulls the wheelchair back, Dongshang Reform will still be thrown outwards by inertia—

"Sweepy! Danger!!!"

"Varied--"

As expected, the stopped wheelchair did not disappoint Newton. The girl sitting in it, who was already gesturing wildly, only had time to exclaim before she was sent flying out.

The next moment, Ikeda's outstretched arm only grazed the tip of the East Merchant Reform's hat, and the girl was thrown into the air, possibly crashing to the ground at any moment.

The trainer was filled with regret. If Dong Shang's injuries had worsened because of such a ridiculous reason, she would be willing to die a thousand deaths!

At the critical moment, a voice came from beside her ear:

"Playing like that on the sidewalk is still a bit dangerous, isn't it?"

Da da da da da!

—Whoosh!

The sound of hurried footsteps accompanied by the howling wind suddenly rose into the air, and a dark shadow, not much different from the one in the Eastern Merchants Reform, abruptly blocked the view in front of Ikeda...

(Wow, so fast!)

This was the first thought that popped into Ikeda's mind when she saw the figure wearing a baseball cap leap up.

(Is she going to catch Sweepy?)

This was the second thought that flashed through her mind.

As Dongshang Biange, gliding through the air, saw this figure leap across the sky, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Almost uncontrollably, the image of Stardust Illusion in the final moments of the previous match flashed through her mind.

Superb speed, agile figure.

"You are--"

boom!

His body was caught and held in two arms, and his yellow baseball cap was blown away by the strong wind. His figure landed with a thud.

With that stylish landing, Ikeda, who was still holding the wheelchair handle behind him, froze on the spot.

Passersby who noticed the commotion began to whisper among themselves, watching the three people in the scene.

"Wow—what was that just now?!"

"What cool moves! Are they filming a movie?!"

"That girl who picked people up looks so familiar, that tuft of white hair..."

"Ah! It's the Emperor of the East Sea! The Emperor of the East Sea!!!"

"Be careful next time. Even though racehorse girls look strong, they can be quite fragile sometimes," the girl warned the two, hugging the weakened Higashisho.

"He swept past me at that speed, and then leaped up precisely to catch Sweepy safely..."

Looking at the girl, Ikeda murmured to himself.

She subconsciously activated her trainer instincts, pondering just how difficult that set of movements was.

As she gently placed Dong Shang back into the wheelchair, the petite girl smiled brightly and gave a thumbs-up to the two still in a daze.

"Cheer up! Dongshang's transformation—"

"You're also Stardust's nemesis, aren't you?"

"—!"

Dong Shang suddenly turned around and saw the other person pick up the baseball cap and hide the brown ponytail under it again, then walk towards the racetrack.

Chapter 194 Ruoye Tournament

April 17, Zhongshan Racecourse.

"Emperor of the East Sea! Emperor of the East Sea!!!"

"Your Majesty! Look at me!!!"

"We love you, Dibao!!!"

On the field, cheers for the Emperor of the East Sea were deafening.

The Wakaba Championship, a G2-level race that also serves as a prelude to the Satsuki Sho, seems to have become this runner's personal showcase.

"Isn't this popularity a bit too high?"

I specially set aside half a day of training time to come and watch the Stardust Illusion, the last match before the East Sea Emperors' three-crown victory. I looked up and gazed back:

"And they have men and women of all ages, they are really popular."

"Of course! Who wouldn't like the Emperor of the East Sea?"

Today, Stardust Mirage is accompanied by Mejiro McQueen to watch the match.

As a teammate of the East Sea Emperor, she originally intended to come and watch the game. Since Stardust Illusion was also going, she gladly agreed to go along.

However, seeing Stardust Illusion already eating a bag of small cakes, McQueen could only swallow his saliva and pretend he couldn't see it.

"You know, the title of Undefeated Three-Time Champion is quite prestigious, and the Emperor is indeed quite cute."

"Is this what you call appealing to all ages and genders?"

The stardust illusion suddenly realized.

Under a clear blue sky, the Zhongshan Racecourse witnessed an exceptionally exciting competition 12 days ago in the G2 Yayoi Sho race, where outstanding riders delivered a spectacular performance. Today, a race of the exact same level, and even with the exact same track length, will take place!

[Zhongshan Circuit, 2000m right turn, turfy racecourse! G2 level prize race, Young Horse Stakes!]

Next, I will introduce the participating runners one by one!

Inside the studio, the host's impassioned shouts had begun, and at the same time, the large screen in the stadium began broadcasting footage of the racehorses entering the gate.

When the footage showed the petite, confident-smiling young woman, the entire audience erupted in cheers once again.

"Tei——o!"

"Tei——o!"

"Tei——o!"

People chanted the player's name in unison, raising their support props and banners high, pouring their enthusiasm into the match.

"That little guy must be so smug."

Stardust Illusion watched the East Sea Emperor's feigned composure as he commented on the large screen.

Having shared a room with her for so many days, she naturally knew what kind of temper her roommate had.

Normally, just a few words of praise would make her smile so much that her eyes would squint. How much more so now that such a large group of people are supporting her in the competition?
