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

Troubled by his current situation, he once again hallucinated the voice of the Emperor of the East Sea, just as he always did...

...Wait, is it an auditory hallucination?

"Hey—! Stardust!!!"

No, this isn't a hallucination; it's the Emperor of the East Sea shouting his own name!

The stardust illusion suddenly turned around and looked toward the source of the sound.

However, that wasn't the players' tunnel, but rather the audience seating area in front of the Stardust Illusion.

The short woman wearing a baseball cap, dressed in tattered and even dirty clothes, carrying a huge canvas bag looked down and revealed her pretty face and a tuft of white hair on her forehead.

That adorable smile she gave when looking at the stardust illusion was as sweet as honey, making one want to savor it—

"Hey! You idiot, why are you still standing in the audience?! Get down here!!!"

Stardust Illusion couldn't help but rebuke.

"Sorry, sorry, the Emperor is coming down now~"

The emperor clasped his hands together and smiled ingratiatingly, then grabbed the railing in front of him, which was as tall as a person, with one hand.

Stardust Illusion finally realized that the brat was going to jump right down...

Are you stupid?!

There have been cases of people breaking their legs by touching their eyes while going downstairs!

Just as he thought of this, the Emperor of the East Sea above the audience used one hand to forcefully flip over the railing.

Her figure leaped directly from the nearly 10-meter-high stands, her baseball cap being pulled off her head by the inertia, revealing her long brown hair.

"Your place..."

Before he could even curse the other party, Stardust Illusion shook off his grip and charged forward—

boom!

Chapter 217 The Satsuki Prize Competition Begins!

boom!

The girl landed precisely in the embrace of the stardust illusion.

"Hehe~ Stardust really came to catch the emperor."

The emperor, cradled in his arms, revealed a sly smile, then nimbly flipped himself up and stood on the grass.

Seemingly sensing that the Stardust Illusion wanted to reprimand her, the Emperor didn't give her the chance at all.

She squatted down, opened her backpack, took off her dirty sports jacket, and quickly changed into her final outfit on the spot.

The blessings from the three goddesses on the victory robe took effect instantly, sweeping away the remaining stains on the Emperor of the East Sea.

The now-renewed girl stood gracefully before the Stardust Illusion.

Seemingly noticing the scrutinizing gaze, the emperor smugly extended two fingers of his right hand, making a gun-like gesture towards the stardust illusion, and made a "bang" sound:

"How about it? You were charmed by the emperor's cuteness, weren't you?"

"I don't want to talk to you about what you've been doing... And what happened to your finger? Is it injured?"

Stardust Illusion rolled its eyes, but suddenly noticed that the right fingernail of the Emperor's two outstretched fingers had been completely broken off at the root.

This strange shape seems out of place compared to the several long and slender fingers next to it.

"I'm sorry, Stardust, this time it was my fault!"

Another voice came from the stands, making her look up again.

What came into view was the face of the white-haired Ryan.

She smiled apologetically, then explained simply:

"The emperor has been training with me recently, but it suddenly rained on Mount Fuji today, so the road conditions were bad and caused a slight delay. However, I have already asked my grandmother to make arrangements, so it won't affect the start of the competition."

"That's how it is, so it's not the emperor's fault!"

Upon hearing Ryan's explanation, the Emperor quickly chimed in to support him.

"Even so, you shouldn't have jumped down from there!!"

Stardust Illusion, recalling the Emperor's dangerous move, complained again:

"Didn't we agree that you absolutely have to take good care of your legs? I can't allow any problems to occur!"

"Besides, there's still plenty of time in the game, so why not come in through the players' entrance?"

"That's all because of you, Stardust..."

The emperor hesitated, stammering and not finishing his sentence.

Just as the Stardust Illusion had predicted, the East Blue Emperor and Megumi Ryan rushed here from Mount Fuji only to find that the competition was about to begin.

Fortunately, they still had enough time to enter the venue. So, to avoid the players having to spend too much time checking various documents and qualifications at the entrance, Ryan simply took the Emperor directly into the venue through the audience entrance.

As for things like censorship, please let the Meguro family handle it for us, and skip those tedious procedures.

However, just as they were about to enter the players' tunnel from the stands, the East Sea Emperor saw the Stardust Illusion confronting the blonde girl on the field.

The two men's auras continued to rise, their eyes fixed on each other, their hands still tightly clasped together, showing no intention of letting go.

It's just like……

"...It's as if you two are the sworn enemies."

The emperor muttered under his breath, clearly displeased.

With the match time fast approaching, Stardust Illusion grabbed her hand and led her toward the entrance gate.

Hearing the voice behind him, Stardust Illusion couldn't make out the details, so he turned around and asked:

"What did you say?"

"Nothing at all! You idiot, you blockhead!!!"

The emperor reached down and pulled down his eyelids, sticking out his tongue and making a classic little female ghost face at the stardust illusion.

"You bastard, Emperor—I'm going to teach you a lesson during the match!"

Ya——————————

Finally, all the contestants have started entering the gate!

The host in the studio wiped the cold sweat from his forehead after seeing the Emperor of the East Sea jump so decisively.

From the moment she started speaking, she had to keep rambling on in front of the microphone, slowing down the time it took for the audience to realize something was wrong.

(Thankfully, the East Sea Emperor finally made it in time...)

The host roused himself and began the final introductions before the competition started:

[Zhongshan Racecourse, a 2000m middle-distance track, a clockwise turf course perfect for horse racing! This Satsuki Sho, the bridgehead for the classic Triple Crown, is finally about to begin!!!]

As the contestants began to enter the gate one by one, the host started to introduce them.

Based on the popularity ranking of this G1-level competition, she started introducing Ibuki Mai Kagura from number 18 and worked her way up.

When it came to the last three contestants, she began adding unique introductory text for each of them, in addition to their names and numbers:

The third most popular topic is the transformation of Dongshang!

[A girl from the Fujimasa family, a sister of the former Pegasus, a runner known as the "Witch," fought to the very last moment at the Yayoi Prize, the Fujimasa family's hope!]

Will she be able to recreate the glory of the Fujimasa family today? Will she be able to unleash her unique "magical" brilliance? Let's look forward to this runner's performance!

On the field, the girl walked forward, holding the witch's hat on her head with one hand.

She waved to her supporters, then walked proudly into the gate.

As the host said, Dong Shang Reform fought Stardust Illusion to the very last moment in the previous Yayoi Prize, so she can be said to be one of only two top runners among the current 18 known to have opened up a field.

Dongshang Bian took a deep breath and stood inside the gate, making a final adjustment to his state.

[The second most popular character is the Emperor of the East Sea!]

[A prodigy who has never lost a match since his debut, boasting a perfect 4-4 record! He inherited the exceptional talent symbolized by His Majesty the Emperor—Rudolph. Though petite in stature, his strength is unparalleled!]

Countless supporters eagerly anticipate this emperor's continuation of His Majesty's astonishing achievements, hoping he can reclaim the legendary and most coveted honor: the undefeated triple crown! Can this invincible genius once again continue this legendary run on the field?

The lively and adorable pony walked towards the gate, and the Emperor of the East Sea waved vigorously to the crowd around him, responding to his supportive fans.

This action further fueled the enthusiasm of the audience, whose voices gradually coalesced to form the girl's name:

"Tei——O!!!"

Then came the last person in the match.

This female racehorse, who started her career in the Chukyo region and later moved to the central region, was once defeated by Tokai Teio, but in the next undefeated race, she escaped to win first place and declared in the post-race interview that she would face off against Tokai Teio again in the classic Triple Crown race.

Now, she, who was once considered to be making empty promises, has finally fulfilled her vow! She stands on this arena alongside the East Sea Emperor!

[Chosen as the successor by that "monster" Oguri Hat during his retirement match, he has since won every game, tearing apart the arena with incredible escapes that defy everyone's expectations! Currently on a 5-game winning streak!]

This runner is both a "monster" and a "king"!!! Let's cheer for the arrival of this king!

[Number 1 Most Popular: Star! Dust! Illusion!]

Bathed in unprecedented cheers, feeling the recognition of one's brilliance by the audience, even the illusion of stardust was a source of contentment.

Unlike any previous race, the G1 level event filled the Zhongshan Racecourse to capacity, with over 100,000 people bustling about, displaying unparalleled enthusiasm.

(This is... the classic treble.)

The Stardust Illusion stood still, not in a hurry to enter the gate.

She took a deep breath, and a wild smile gradually spread across her face.

Bearing the expectations of all the viewers, the blessings of the supporters, and the promises made time and again...
