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

But over such a long period of time, Stardust Illusion had pretty much tacitly accepted this matter; otherwise, it wouldn't have bothered to lecture this optimistic girl.

She had also heard about Twin Turbine's behavior within the team and knew that she was determined to cause a major escape, so she often argued with Minamisaka—or rather, she unilaterally threw tantrums at Minamisaka, who was trying to persuade her.

Necha had complained to himself more than once that the child often used the excuse of "that's what the master said" to disobey training requirements.

Despite the fact that Trainer Minamisaka also wanted to specialize in Twin Turbo's performance in Great Escape, Twin Turbo and she often disagreed on this matter.

Of course, Necha also understood that Twin Turbo wasn't trying to avoid training, or that they had a problem with their attitude towards running.

To a greater extent, it's just that the twin-turbo system hasn't figured out how to deal with the current situation where it insists on a high-speed escape, but often fails completely due to reverse injection.

But training is training.

Stardust Illusion gazed at the bewildered girl before him, toying with the ends of her light blue hair with his fingers, his feelings a mixture of emotions.

For Uma Musume, there is absolutely no possibility of obtaining the glory of the winner through shortcuts.

"Twin Turbo, have you ever felt regret during a race? Like, that feeling of not giving it your all?"

As he said this, a hint of melancholy appeared on Stardust Illusion's face.

"After the debut battle, I had this thought... not only because I didn't take that final step, but also because I regretted wasting almost half a year of time on my professional training."

"If you really train hard from the moment you start your professional training and strive to become stronger for your debut battle—would that increase your chances of winning against an emperor?"

"Master...do you feel this way too...?"

Even now, the twin-turbo engine can no longer maintain that smile.

As the Stardust Illusion spoke, she also recalled how she always messed up whenever she wanted to compete well.

They could only flee as if they were running away, resorting to a reckless escape to cope with the race, and eventually lost all speed and fell to the bottom.

"Of course, even now I'm worried that this kind of thing will happen again."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that I've won the Satsuki Prize and have many people supporting me now—what if I lose the next match?"

"This dazzling brilliance that seems to be in my grasp will vanish in an instant, like a mirage."

The stardust illusion spoke very frankly.

She hadn't originally intended to share such profound insights with Twin Turbine, since, in Stardust Illusion's view, neither she nor the other were the sentimental type.

In her style, if there's a problem, she'll just go out there and try to solve it.

However, according to Ms. Necha, Twin Turbine was unexpectedly a delicate and timid child, so she needed more touching words to awaken her.

Memories of the twin-turbo setup resurfaced, and I suddenly recalled the training matches I had with my teammates.

Everyone was following Trainer Minamisaka's advice to run, and I was no exception.

However, once they come into even slight contact with any runner, the dual-turbo system experiences an indescribable discomfort.

It was as if I shouldn't be in this place at all.

So, they began their great escape.

Therefore, reverse jetting.

At that time, she didn't pay too much attention to this kind of thing happening, after all, the Great Escape was the running method adopted by her master, Stardust Illusion.

How could there possibly be a problem?!

Everyone has seen Stardust Illusion's matches before.

Twin Turbo also told Trainer Minamisaka the same thing at the time, that she felt there was nothing wrong with her Great Escape, and that the reverse jet was just a coincidence.

but……

Twin Turbo knows that all of this is just an excuse.

In reality, it was her fear of getting too close to other runners while running.

"Let's think about it carefully. The twin-turbo escape is not a simple matter. It requires full awareness and rigorous testing to perfect it."

Stardust Illusion moved its body, feeling that the miracle that happened every four hours had come upon it, and then walked back to the track.

Having said that, I've already done my best.

If you still don't understand twin-turbo...

"—Then just watch closely as I run."

Twin Turbo sat there blankly, gazing at Stardust Illusion, which had resumed its training.

The roar of those powerful legs pounding on the grass was clearly audible to the twin-turbocharged engine.

It's conceivable that Stardust Illusion will continue this level of training for the next month.

After each parallel run training session, Stardust Illusion would stop and earnestly ask for the opinions of the trainers and teammates. Even if there were things he didn't understand, he wouldn't argue but would remember them all.

For some reason, Nansaka's smiling face reappeared before my eyes.

At that time, she was smiling as she approached me and explained the purpose of each training session, right?

Sometimes, even the twin turbos don't want to keep running away after only exchanging a few words with their teammates and trainers.

Faced with everyone's concern and inquiries, she dared not take any further steps.

They could only flee like the stardust illusion on the field, leaving all the problems behind and unwilling to mention them again.

but……

Twin Turbo was also well aware of the feeling of his body completely falling apart during the collapse of the Great Escape.

It's like taking a step forward and suddenly falling into an abyss, never to be able to get back up.

Twin Turbo didn't really understand why Stardust Illusion persisted in learning to run.

They are even continuing the kind of training intensity that Coach Necha described as "self-torture."

However, even as she watched the Stardust Illusion endlessly repeat the most tedious parallel runs, Miura Bourbon was willing to accompany her time and time again.

Super Stream, like an older sister, immediately handed out towels and drinks to everyone after they finished running.

Hikari Toyama then took out the data she had just recorded and gathered everyone together to discuss the results of the parallel run in detail, striving to ensure that everyone could gain something from it.

Stardust Illusion continued its training and conveyed its thoughts to Twin Turbine.

Even though it was very subtle, Stardust Illusion could indeed sense its own improvement during each training session.

As long as she can feel improvement, she doesn't think it's a waste of time, and she certainly doesn't think that other people's advice to her is useless.

As members of the Draco team, everyone naturally works together to make the racehorse girls in the team stronger; this is the true meaning of a team.

To achieve a 1 in brilliance, one must put in 10000 in effort.

To become a Top Star on the field that no one can ignore, everyone undoubtedly has to be like this now—

By accumulating the most tedious training step by step, and stacking up all these small achievements, they can eventually be transformed into a powerful force capable of securing victory.

This is the true essence of Uma Musume.

Study hard, twin-turbo.

Consider this... my first lesson to you.

Chapter 246 Heavenly King's Reward (Spring)

[McQueen is in the lead! McQueen is still in the lead! Then there's Megumi Ryan closely following behind! On the inside, Shiraishi is still trying to close the gap!]

[Has Megumi Zenshin, who fled the battlefield, fallen behind the other runners? Has he completely lost his ability to compete?!]

Is it still McQueen?! McQueen is still leading the pack!! Has it turned into a battle between the two Mejiro runners?!

No, that's not right! From the corner... from the corner Shiraishi burst out! Now it's the final battle between the three runners—

Watching that elegant, pale purple figure speeding across the track, Stardust Illusion could only marvel at the power of White McQueen.

Today, April 28th.

This ongoing race is the grand spring festival that this purple-haired diva has been looking forward to since she entered the world of horse racing.

If they can win this match, they will achieve the legendary feat of "Mejiro Sandai consecutively reigning over Tenshun".

It can be said that, for McQueen himself, this was just a somewhat difficult 3200m G1 class heavy prize race.

However, if we look at the entire Meguro family, it is a supreme honor, like the most dazzling jewel set in a crown.

For McQueen, the glory of her family is the meaning behind her running at this moment.

That being said, Stardust Illusion hadn't originally planned to make a special trip to Kyoto Racecourse to watch the race live.

After all, she wanted to make the most of every moment to train herself in preparation for the upcoming Tokyo Mile and the Neon Derby, so she didn't have time to travel to other cities.

However, McQueen specifically came to invite her and promised that as long as Stardust Illusion was willing to come to the scene to cheer her on.

In May of that year, she would ask Madam Mejiro for help to arrange at least one training match between Stardust Illusion and the Mejiro family runners.

I can also treat her to a few more meals, Western food prepared by the Mejiro family's chef...

Sigh, why bring this up!

McQueen is a beloved friend and family member, how could he possibly miss such an important day?!

Just thinking about their uniquely flavored veal steaks makes Stardust Illusion's mouth water.

She quickly interrupted her thoughts, looked at the arena, and cupped her hands in a megaphone shape, pointing them towards the field:

Go for it, McQueen!!!

She, Stardust Illusion, is a promised superhero. Since she agreed to cheer for McQueen, this kind of shouting is a piece of cake!

On the field, facing the encirclement and interception of White Rock and White Stone, McQueen's legs stomped heavily on the ground.

The girl seemed to have heard the call of the stardust illusion, or perhaps it was simply that honor and a sense of mission had given her even greater power.

This young girl only needs to have no doubt about running, which she firmly believes in, to unleash such unparalleled power.

We will never back down, and we will never admit defeat.

They were filled with an unwavering determination to win, as if they were burning their boats.

"Aaaaaaahh ...
