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

"Ikeda."

After finishing his energy drink in one gulp, Dongshang Biange stood up and walked towards the track.

"What are you waiting for? I need to continue my special training right away."

"What nonsense about science and data... It's so annoying, there's no way any of this stuff could be useful!"

"Sweepy, I'm a witch! I possess the magic to reject even the 'impossible'!"

"Therefore, we need to come up with some brand-new magic that will leave that arrogant scientific bastard completely astonished!!!"

Chapter 253 Mejiro Trap

In the days that followed, the three runners in the Draco team began their daily training routine.

It wasn't just about the Stardust illusion; even though she desperately wanted to focus on training for the upcoming matches, she still practiced with Miyu and Bourbon as arranged by Toyama Hiren.

After all, it's not just me who's obsessed with the competition. Whether it's Miyu or Meipu Bourbon, everyone is constantly striving to shine on the field. How can I expect them to cooperate with me for free and run alongside me?

Moreover, even if you're just running alongside someone as a training partner, you still have something to learn.

Compared to the two runners who were already famous runners in her memories of her previous life, she was certainly aware that the one who was more mediocre was the one she remembered.

For her, the exceptionally talented rice bath and the beautiful Bourbon bath were more than enough to serve as models for learning and imitation.

Of course, these days have not only been filled with tedious practice and running together.

On May 4th, the training ground in Mejiro Castle.

Stardust Illusion had arrived early, and after enjoying a free lunch, Meimei began her pre-match preparations.

Today is the day for the training race with the seniors of the Mejiro family. According to McQueen, besides Stardust Illusion and himself, there are a total of three runners from the Mejiro family who have been invited to come.

After stretching his body in the rest area for a while, McQueen approached, staring at the stardust illusion in front of him with a look of confusion on his face.

With the consent of Madam Mejiro, McQueen invited his sisters from the same clan to help gather the number of participants for the training matches.

And to prevent them from being unwilling to participate, McQueen specifically explained that this would also be quite beneficial to him.

However, McQueen found it very strange that one of the runners who agreed to the request.

This question stems from... the reason why the other side accepted this training match.

"Stardust, good afternoon."

The question was first posed in the form of a greeting, and McQueen also stood still and stretched his body.

After receiving a reply, she continued to ask:

"Stardust...are you and Sister Aldan very familiar with each other?"

"Mejiro Aldan?"

Stardust Illusion didn't know why McQueen had asked this, but it still answered honestly:

"You met her at the hospital before... I remember it was because of an accident while learning Super Creek running techniques, and you passed out, right? You were in the same ward as Aldan, but we weren't very close. What's wrong?"

"Is it because I said I wanted to thank you for Stardust Illusion that Wheat Quinn was confused?"

A third voice came from behind, causing the two of them to turn around at the same time.

What catches the eye is that head of glass-like hair, a work of art that seems so fragile it could shatter at the slightest touch—

Ardan Megumi had arrived unnoticed and was standing there waving at the two of them with a playful smile.

"Although I'm not sure if this matter is related to you, Stardust Illusion... please allow me to thank you."

"I am very grateful for the opportunity to get back on the track and run again."

As Aldan spoke, his moist, watery eyes locked onto the stardust illusion, as if trying to confirm something.

"what--"

At first, Stardust Illusion didn't quite understand what the other person was talking about, but she quickly remembered what she had done to Aldan back then...

Is it that panacea?

At that time, they happened to meet a girl who could no longer run due to a physical defect, so they used the panacea that could cure all the defects of racehorse girls on her.

That's all; it's a completely arbitrary act.

But how did Aldan know? It was all done within the system; there's no reason she could have seen it, right?

Are you asking me how I know?

Seemingly sensing the message he wanted from those crimson eyes, Aldan's smile widened even more.

As if playing a prank, she directly voiced what Stardust Illusion was thinking.

Then, she put her hands behind her back and leaned forward slightly, as if trying to get a closer look at the racehorse girl's expression:

"You only found out just now? You were just recalling what you did, right? That means Stardust Illusion, you really do know what I'm talking about."

"So...you did do something back then."

"Haha, I don't understand what you're talking about, Aldan."

Stardust Illusion quickly laughed it off, trying to cover it up.

She's not the kind of person who does good deeds anonymously, but isn't she a bit of a nuisance?

You see, if people find out that I have healing abilities that shouldn't even exist in this world, endless trouble will come knocking.

It's not just racehorse girls; ordinary horse girls... even ordinary humans would want to try and see if they could be healed by her.

How can Stardust Illusion clearly explain the quantity and limitations of this panacea?

Even if we were to clarify things, wouldn't some people be tempted to take desperate measures because they have nowhere else to turn?

In short, it's very troublesome.

So the Stardust Illusion, who only wanted to focus on running on the track, planned to use it up casually and quietly from the beginning, and then end it there.

Possessing the ability to heal one person, the Stardust Illusion chooses to heal only the one in need, a choice made by something that doesn't actually have the ability to save everyone.

"Ah, I understand. You don't need to worry about Stardust Illusion."

Seemingly sensing the other party's resistance, Aldan reached out and gently stroked the girl's face, as if trying to soothe her in this way.

His slightly cool fingertips gently brushed against the Stardust Illusion's cheek, and Ardan's gaze towards the Stardust Illusion seemed to well up with tears:

"...It's a miracle, isn't it?"

"It just so happens that a small miracle happened in that ward."

"Ah, ah... ah?"

Watching the two of them start interacting intimately as they chatted, McQueen stood to the side, stunned, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time. But she finally understood one thing:

Sister Aldan, unexpectedly, she's a formidable opponent today!

With that thought in mind, she discreetly passed between the Stardust Illusion and Aldan, interrupting their actions, and then naturally joined their conversation.

Aldan didn't seem to have any particular desire to continue the conversation here. After seeing McQueen join in, he let go of her hand, returned to his original position, and continued his warm-up exercises.

Next.

It seemed that Aldan's actions had put McQueen on her guard. She pulled Stardust Illusion aside and started talking about everything from training to food, to races, and then to her views on running techniques, leaving no room for further conversation.

Aldan listened intently from the side, only occasionally interjecting, his expression calm and composed, as if everything was under control.

However, the more McQueen saw Ardan's expression, the more alarm bells rang in his mind—

(Oh no, this training match I arranged myself... did I accidentally create another enemy?!)

Chapter 254 At least three Soul Hall elders would need to eat one meal.

Outside the community, various social media forums are once again discussing the Satsuki Sho vs. the Japanese derby.

This time, the discussion was even greater than when the Satsuki Prize ended.

The reason is that Stardust Illusion and Crimson Toyama, this duo, officially announced yesterday that they will compete in this match:

On May 12, the Tokyo Mile, a G1 major prize race at Tokyo Racecourse.

Having witnessed that unparalleled final kick at the Satsuki Sho, their anticipation for the upcoming Japanese derby was 120% higher.

What kind of spectacle will that unreasonable tyrant display? Will she be able to continue to hold victory in her hands?

All of this makes them incredibly excited, hoping to see an even more intense racer competition in the Japanese derby.

But yesterday I heard the news that I saw the name of a monster who shouldn't be on the list of participants for the Tokyo Mile race.

The wave of condemnation against the inhumane trainer, Hikari Toyama, which had just subsided, suddenly surged again.

They believe that with only one month until the Satsuki Sho and the Neon Derby, runners who want to participate in the Neon Derby must not slack off in any way, let alone choose to participate in another G1 race during this precious adjustment period.

This cannot be described as reckless; it is simply reckless and arbitrary!

That's the Japanese derby, a culmination of countless horse racing girls' hard work and the passion of countless spectators. How could it be treated like this?!

Therefore, the fact that Stardust Mirage still registered for another G1 event despite such a tight schedule can only mean one thing...

That inhuman Toyama Hikari, she must be after the G1 race's prize money, forcing runners to fight here—after all, she has a history of making runners participate in high-reward races again after only a few days of competition!

Forums where people publicly identified themselves were somewhat more restrained; the discussions were mainly about whether the competition would have an impact, and the occasional complaints about veteran players weren't too outrageous.

On some anonymous forums... to put it bluntly, even Toyama Hikari's three clans have been confiscated countless times.

"Does everyone already consider Stardust Illusion to be a player of that caliber?"

"Don't you understand? The current Overlord is not just a second-generation Oguri Hat, but [she] will definitely be able to rival Oguri Hat in the future! Even surpass her! Arc de Triomphe!"

"Don't forget, even the Emperor of the East Sea was no match for her."

"■■■Toyama Scarlet■■■■■, is she going to destroy the Japanese horse racing world!?"

Such arguments continued to spread online, and gradually even the racehorse girls living in the academy heard snippets of them.

Not to mention that Toyama Hikari, who usually pays attention to collecting information and is in charge of Draco's external affairs, is naturally very clear about these matters.

However, as usual, she didn't pay attention to such a trivial matter.
