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

In the stands, an adorable little orange-haired pony was struggling to grip the railing with both hands, craning its neck to look at the racecourse.

Today is Stardust Mirage's first G1 match, and as an exclusive fan, Good Opera naturally wouldn't miss it.

She deliberately behaved herself at home for about ten days in advance, and finally her mother agreed to bring her to watch the game again.

Sure enough, upon arriving here, she not only witnessed the magnificent appearance of the Stardust Illusion up close, but also discovered a very exciting fact:

Stardust Illusion—she truly kept her promise to herself, and has been wearing that wristband ever since!

However, at this moment, she stared wide-eyed at the situation on the field.

The look in those eyes wasn't one of joy or excitement, but rather utter astonishment:

"Ah, how could this be! Someone is chasing after the Stardust Illusion!"

Although she wasn't exactly a fanatical knowledgeer of running, she was well aware of the great opera of Stardust Illusion, and catching up with her during the Great Escape would be no easy task.

However, how could that runner named Ibuki Maikaku possibly be...?

And so we drew ever closer to the silhouette of the stardust illusion!

More importantly, in the eyes of a good opera singer, one can clearly see that the auras of these two are fiercely clashing!

As if they were natural opposites, wind and thunder constantly converged at this moment.

Judging from the speed and posture of the Stardust Illusion, it is undoubtedly using all its strength to run.

However, even with such exaggerated strides, she couldn't shake off the blonde runner, Ibuki Maikaku, who was chasing after her...

"Oh no! Oh no! Stardust Illusion, didn't you see someone chasing us from behind?!"

The flustered opera singer cried out and looked to her mother for help.

However, the situation is far more complex than that.

Ibuki Mai Kagura's pursuit seemed to be a signal, and several figures suddenly broke out of the race of the leading horse girls almost simultaneously.

They each unleashed their own unique running style, abandoning the comfort of conventional footwork, and directly chased after the fleeing stardust illusion!

[Great Escape! Stardust Illusion's Great Escape has taken effect here! Several race girls finally couldn't contain their impatience and started chasing after Stardust Illusion!!]

Even the host's voice began to tremble slightly. Although she had watched the Stardust Illusion competition, she knew that she might see the Great Escape succeed again.

Knowing about it is one thing, but seeing it in person at such an important G1-level event... is quite another!

[After Stardust Illusion, the most popular runner, broke through the blockade and made a great escape towards the front of the track, these runners have begun to catch up!]

[Ibuki Maikaku, Narita Shirohito, the Emperor of the East Sea, the Sky Shrine, and the Eastern Merchant Reform... one after another, they are chasing after the fleeing overlord!]

The match had already entered its most intense phase in the early stages!

Chapter 222 (4k) (plus 27.5) Royal Announcement

It's almost impossible to see such a scene in a normal match.

Even if a major escapee like Ennis the Wind God or Nebula Sky were to appear, the other contestants wouldn't be in such a panic as they are now.

For them, the opponent's escape is a choice made by sacrificing the strength of their final kick, relying on the time difference of the burst to gain a distance advantage.

However, once the game enters its final stages, this gap becomes like a mirage, and can be lost at any moment as the runners exhaust their strength.

In the end, it all comes down to a race of speed.

Any truly excellent runner must understand this principle.

However, Stardust Illusion was an anomaly among anomalies, and no matter how unwilling the contestants were to believe it, it was useless.

She has demonstrated her strength to everyone time and time again through matches, as well as the terrifying fact that she can escape with her last-minute goal and leave the field in the middle.

At this point, the top female racehorses no longer need to consider any other strategies.

Faced with the Stardust Illusion that has already begun its great escape, if they want to avoid being eliminated from the competition for the winners prematurely, they must abandon all other running methods and force themselves to use the great escape to deal with the great escape.

Yes.

When watching the East Sea Emperor's race last time, McQueen Megumi inadvertently revealed a clue: the East Sea Emperor might change their habitual running style and adopt a center-of-the-road strategy.

However, Stardust Illusion didn't seem to care about this at the time.

On the one hand, it was because McQueen had indeed let something slip, which is why she found out. It's neither reasonable nor emotional that we should delve into it further, lest McQueen end up in an awkward position.

However, on the other hand, it is because the Stardust Illusion knows that none of this actually matters.

Why is it meaningless?

That's because, whether it's specializing first or specializing in the middle, these ideas will be completely sealed in the face of Stardust Illusion.

If you want to challenge me, you're not allowed to use any other running method!

This is a notice from the royal palace.

This fleeing overlord announced a ban on the competition to all players who could understand his intentions!

This unreasonable approach forced each contestant to grit their teeth and endure it.

Even though most riders have received special training in the Great Escape technique beforehand, a racehorse girl's inherent strengths are not something that can be easily changed, especially since the Great Escape is a talent that is one in a million...

Now they must bet everything from the very beginning, and they must not stop even if they break their legs. They must rely on their physical strength and willpower to fight this life-or-death battle!

----------

However, this difficult situation is completely unreal to the audience in the stands.

For them, the current scene of runners competing from the very beginning of the race, with several runners escaping together, is exactly the kind of spectacle they've always dreamed of.

The thrilling excitement, coupled with deep concern for these escape artists, created a conflicting and uneasy feeling that made them even more eager to see what kind of confrontation would follow.

"Hey, really? Is this for real?"

"Is it because we all have no other choice?"

"The charge of the stardust illusions ignited this war of escape and escape..."

"So many racehorse girls charging together, that's just so cool!"

"A long run can really wear down a runner's body, don't they feel any fear?"

"For these girls, if they can't even fight with all their might for the classic three championships, then what's the point of their careers?"

"It would be terrible if something unexpected happened...!"

"That's it! This is exactly what I wanted to see!"

"Stardust Illusion, let's cheer each other on with my wristband!"

"Hehehe, everyone is giving it their all and sweating it out... It's so beautiful! Hehehehehe~"

However, no matter what the audience's opinions were, they could not affect the course of the match. The intense competition even made the commentator more excited.

Although the competition has only just begun, she has a premonition... that this unprecedented Satsuki Sho will likely go down in history!

[They've escaped!]

The host shouted at the top of his lungs, and Stardust Illusion, the most popular runner, broke through the runners' ranks and seized her place in the final run.

Immediately following, as if it had been anticipated, Ibuki Mai Kagura led the way, and the runners including the Emperor of the East Sea followed suit.

Despite it being the rarest running style, it has now formed a complete runner echelon, and they have pulled away from the other participants in one go, rushing towards the front of the track!

Being able to commentate on such a grand occasion… Seeing this unprecedented competition, the host trembled. She could only grip the microphone base tightly with both hands and continue shouting while looking at the situation in the arena:

Led by a wild, stardust-filled illusion, this unique escape team surged into the second turn of the Zhongshan Racecourse!

[Full of confidence and taking the lead, Stardust Illusion's legs remained strong; she maintained her speed, preventing the other competitors from catching up with her in one go!]

She's now 4-5 horse lengths behind the runners. Will she be able to maintain this lead and stay ahead?!

Everyone focused intently upon hearing the host's explanation.

Although such a runaway of five or six people has never occurred even in the history of Uma Musume, it is much easier to understand if we think about it from the perspective of the leading runner.

Most people can understand the current situation. Ultimately, the competition for the lead is a battle for the leading position.

Only by running in the lead and leaving the other runners behind can you be called a leader!

Stardust Illusion... Will this runner, who captivates everyone in every race, finally succeed?

Excited shouts and cheers echoed across the field, making it impossible not to smile.

Stardust Illusion races through the bends, and you can hear this sound.

The throbbing in my heart, the excitement swirling in my mind...

She was racing at the very front of the track, with no obstacles in her way.

Being able to feel these cheers and applause for oneself is undoubtedly something one has earned through one's own efforts.

Unique, a shimmering stardust illusion belonging to her.

At the same time, there was some noise mixed in with the cheers.

That was a question about whether she could maintain this lead until the end.

That makes sense... It's only natural to feel such worry when you see those powerful figures chasing after you.

Even she could feel the gale she had created being torn to shreds by the fighting spirit emanating from her opponents.

However, as a runner, it is also her responsibility to bring unexpected visual experiences to the audience to enhance the purity of the race.

(Since you believe that I, who have already secured a good position for the escape, can still be caught up, and that a turning point might occur at the bend in the road...)

(So ​​let's take a look at the results of the past month!)

Suddenly, the lawn in front of me was covered by a fiery white light, and the illusion of stardust in my heart was swept away, leaving only the clear and bright lake water.

A clear mind is like a still mirror or a tranquil body of water.

The figure of the runner was reflected in the mirror.

Like a deer galloping on the track, its steps are more like leaps than running, coupled with its posture that leans to the extreme along the curves.

Through countless attempts and imitations, Stardust Illusion finally understood the most important essence of this running method.

It wasn't her footwork or posture that allowed Superstream to maintain this movement... it was the extraordinary core strength hidden beneath her slender waist!

As this thought crossed their minds, the two figures gradually overlapped, and the stardust illusion began to resonate with the super-stream they had imagined—
