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

Is it possible...?

The Emperor of the East Sea adjusted his posture as he descended the mountain, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Need I say more?

This isn't a question of whether it's possible or not; it's something I absolutely must do if I want to defeat Stardust Illusion at the Satsuki Sho!

Take a step forward and firmly plant your feet on the muddy ground.

The body naturally leaned back, and the shoulders that had been in pain gradually relaxed.

Unseen flames spread out and reignited her inner fire.

"..."

An inexplicable sense of ease washed over me; my body, which had been on the verge of its limit, seemed to be suddenly bathed in a curtain of water, and my steps suddenly became light.

My heart is beating strongly, and my breathing is slowing down.

The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and her pupils reflected the image of a phoenix soaring in the sky.

"Stardust, the only one who can rival you... is me, the Emperor!!!"

The runner roared as he charged down from Mount Fuji, leaving everyone else in the dust.

Chapter 213 The victor will be the Emperor of the East Sea

April 14, Zhongshan Racecourse.

The 51st G1 Grand Prix, the Satsuki Sho, is being held here today.

This is also Stardust Mirage's first G1-level event.

G1, representing the highest level of Japanese horse racing, is not only different in terms of bounty, but also has unique rules that highlight its competitive status.

Unlike other competitions, where participants wore sportswear that allowed for easy movement.

As G1 class competitors, the racehorse girls will all wear their own special outfits that represent their individual personalities and glory during the race.

The weather has improved since it's April, and a gentle breeze is blowing across the racetrack, but it doesn't feel cold.

Today, as the highly anticipated first leg of the Triple Crown, all the seats at Zhongshan Racecourse were already sold out.

The spectators surrounding the arena were already whispering excitedly, their faces beaming with enthusiasm and anticipation as they awaited the start of the match.

……

Meanwhile, in the VIP viewing room of the racecourse, the emperor had already arrived and was sitting in a chair, quietly watching the person opposite him.

The girl sitting opposite Rudolph wears a white top hat tilted to the right of her ear, decorated with a green ribbon bow, and a metal ornament with the word "CB" attached to the back of the ribbon.

Her clothing was quite daring; a bright green vest barely covered her two round breasts, and she wore a white jacket over it that revealed her navel. She wore white trousers and brown-black leather shoes, which accentuated her long legs.

The girl was equally beautiful, not inferior even to Rudolf's symbol. She had long, smooth, glossy brown hair cascading down her back, a pretty face, and her emerald green eyes radiating boundless confidence.

Mr. CB.

Or to put it another way, Qianming represents.

This female racehorse on the pool is none other than Rudolf Symbol's former rival, Question, who has been invited to watch the race with Rudolf Symbol today.

The reason she made time to come, besides the invitation from her friend, was another reason:

"In the Shako Grade, my student doesn't seem to have an advantage in this competition."

Representative Qianming picked up the black tea on the table, took a sip, and looked at Rudolf's symbol with half-closed eyes:

Question – Who do you think has a better chance of winning this match, Rudolf?

"Emperor of the East Sea".

Rudolf answered without any hesitation.

If someone else had asked her this question, Rudolf might have seriously analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of each contestant, but seeing the look in Chiaki's eyes, she knew that the other person didn't want to hear that kind of answer at all.

"Of course, I hope that the East Sea Emperor can win this match."

As if to emphasize, Rudolf repeated this.

"Hahahaha, it seems our struggle will continue into the next generation... The undefeated Emperor of the East Sea still sounds impressive, doesn't he?"

Upon hearing this answer, Representative Chiaki couldn't help but burst into laughter. Despite the extremely ungentlemanly laughter and behavior, the girl exuded a cool and unconventional charm.

"Well... anyway, talking about these things is just for us old guys to amuse ourselves. The ultimate winner will of course have to be determined through this competition."

Rudolph waved her hand, ignoring her friend's offense, and stood up to walk to the window, casting her gaze upon the racetrack that would soon become the fiercest battleground:

"It's not just the Emperor and the Orca; every opponent in this competition is not to be underestimated, especially..."

"Stardust illusion, right?"

Qianming took over the conversation, saying that she had, of course, studied the other contestants in this competition.

Stardust Illusion, now known as the "Overlord," has already crossed the Domain Realm twice before even touching the G1 level competition. Even that little chestnut hat girl regards her as her successor.

Any contestant aiming for success in the Satsuki Sho will undoubtedly consider her their most formidable opponent in the competition.

Even disregarding Stardust Illusion, there's also Narita Shirahito, who spearheaded the transformation of the Eastern Business School and is widely recognized as a contender for the triple crown...

"It seems that the situation the Emperor of the East Sea is about to face is not optimistic."

"CB, you don't seem... that worried?"

Rudolf was somewhat puzzled, since, like himself, Qianming, representing one of his disciples, would also be attending this competition.

"Hahahaha, I've already taught that little guy everything I needed to. How much of his ability he can unleash in this match is beyond my control."

Representative Qianming burst into laughter again, his tone very cheerful.

"You're still the same as before, able to be so nonchalant about things like this."

Rudolf chuckled and shook his head, recalling the days he spent with Representative Chiaki.

Even before the competition, Chiaki was the most optimistic of all the female horse racers of her age, and she was almost never seen to show any signs of nervousness.

Just how much of his or her strength can the disciple unleash?

How do killer whales cope with the exaggeratedly large escaping foot?

Will she be able to break through her limitations and bring the power of the field under her control?

Unlike Rudolf, who had already begun to worry about the Emperor of the East Sea, Representative Chiaki had never considered such a thing from the very beginning.

"The strongest racehorse girl wins the Chrysanthemum Prize, the luckiest racehorse girl wins the Derby, and the fastest racehorse girl wins the Satsuki Prize—in this race, the fastest racehorse girl is probably the Sky Shrine."

With some time to spare before the match began, Rudolph returned to his seat and resumed his casual conversation.

"The Aerial Divine Palace contestants? If we're talking about speed, objectively speaking, I'm more optimistic about Dongshang Reform and Stardust Illusion."

Representative Qianming reached for the snacks on the table and happily began to eat them:

"Ah—Rudolph, you're talking about the speed of improvement in the orthodox form, right? If that's the case, then it's true that the Sky Palace, which won the G1-level event in the 2nd year, is even better than the Hopeful Tournament."

“That’s right.” Rudolf nodded.

"But... is that really the case?" Representative Chiaki popped a cookie into her mouth, her eyes half-closed as she smiled.

"If we're talking about speed, then Stardust Illusion is certainly no less impressive, is he?"

"In the debut battle, he still looked like he had no fighting spirit and lost to your disciple, the Emperor of the East Sea... But in every subsequent match, he showed a huge improvement that was visible to the naked eye. He was even able to defeat the East Merchant Revolution, who had opened up a new domain, in the Yayoi Prize."

"So, another question—Luna, who do you think has a better chance of winning this match?"

Representative Qianming asked the exact same question again.

"He is the Emperor of the East Sea."

Rudolf's answer remained unchanged.

Chapter 214 The Most Shining Star on the Field

"The moment has finally arrived..."

Narita Shirahito carefully stuck the new tape on the bridge of her nose, looked at herself in the dressing mirror, took a deep breath, and clenched her right fist tightly.

Pushing open the door and entering the racer tunnel, Narita Shirahito watched the racehorse girls walk out one by one, his eyes revealing suppressed fighting spirit.

Today is not only a crucial classic triple crown for Narita Shirahito, but also an open tournament where she can truly avenge her loss to Stardust Illusion.

【Beep beep beep, beep beep beep~】

Just then, the march, a special feature of the G1 Grand Prix event, began to play as a warm-up.

The band's sonata, announcing the start of the competition, instantly mingled with the cheers of the audience upon hearing the music.

The match finally began.

Instead of rushing out of the athletes' tunnel, Narita Shirahito carefully checked the condition of his final outfit and horseshoes to prevent any abnormal situations from occurring during the competition.

The thought of running on this track soon filled her with immense excitement...

tread.

(——!)

Just then, the lone wolf heard the sound of horseshoes clattering on the concrete floor behind him.

Those were crisp footsteps, clearly indicating that the newcomer was not a heavy-bodied individual.

However, the moment he heard that voice, Narita Shirahito felt as if the hairs on his body stood on end.

The visitor is a powerful enemy!

Upon realizing this, Narita Shirahito suddenly turned around and looked back.

[Click!]

In the instant he turned around, a blinding white lightning bolt flashed past his eyes, and cold sweat naturally broke out on his forehead.

"—Oh?"

A young girl standing behind her.
