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

"That's why I said they're all laymen."

Hikari Toyama shook her head, looking at the expression on her face that was a mixture of contempt and mockery, showing absolutely no pain from being attacked.

If she cared about even the opinions of laymen, she would have been completely defeated and devastated years ago.

However, even if Hikari Toyama doesn't care, there are others who will:

"Is this really okay, Crimson? What if it affects Stardust's reputation? After all, the trainer and the racehorse girl are often seen as a single entity."

"Haha, Ennis, you don't care about my thoughts at all?"

"Anyway, Scarlet, you probably don't care about such a small thing, right? So it's better to focus on more important things."

Sitting next to the trainer, Ennis Fuujin, a racehorse girl who had just returned after a long period of recuperation, was reviewing the training data from that day.

The man and the racehorse are currently in the trainer's office, working together to organize recent training data in order to adjust the next steps for Draco's three runners.

"Hey, these guys are just opportunists anyway... Once they see the unreasonable and overwhelming power of the Stardust Illusion, they'll understand that tempered monsters are just a way for them to enhance themselves."

Hikari Toyama pulled a huge stack of forms from the pile in front of her, which was taller than a person's head, and then handed it to Ennis, the wind god beside her:

"Stardust Illusion's physique cannot be judged by common sense. Even the thing I do most often is to advise her not to train so hard... Looking at this data, you can tell that if everyone hadn't stopped her, she would have squeezed out even her sleeping time to run."

"is it?"

Although Aeneas had long heard of the abnormal constitution of the Stardust Illusion, only by seeing the actual data records could one truly understand how outrageous these things were.

Looking at the data filled in on the form from 5 a.m. until 1 a.m. the next day, she couldn't imagine how Racer Girl could possibly keep going.

Perhaps, as Hikari Toyama said, the only word to describe this junior is "monster"?

Even after Toyama Hikari's persuasion, the data showed a decrease, but the training volume of Stardust Illusion recorded was still beyond what any runner could handle.

Perhaps if the time period of this training data were released, people wouldn't think that Crimson was forcing Stardust Illusions?

(No, I can't think like that...)

Ennis the Wind God shook his head, shaking off the thought from his mind.

Hikari Toyama's reputation was already a mess on the internet, and she had just seen that netizens had dug up her past.

This adds another piece of evidence to support the claim that Hikari Toyama is inhuman:

See? This guy practically ruined the derby winner's racehorse girl last year!

Of course, anyone who actually watched the matches before and after last year's derby would know the truth and wouldn't have such a misunderstanding.

After all, anyone who has seen Ennis Fuujin's run in that race would never say, "This goes against the wishes of Uma Musume."

Icarus's posture as she raced towards the sun led the entire 2400m race from start to finish—an achievement that can only be attained by a race girl who genuinely enjoys the competition.

However... when people seek arguments with malice, they don't care about such things.

They only want to achieve their goal: to prove that their point of view is correct.

Therefore, one can portray everything that seems ambiguous as being in one's own favor.

Thinking of this, Fengshen glanced once more at Toyama Hikari, who was bent over her desk writing furiously, and even felt a little sympathy for her.

However, Kazekami, who had been her partner for two years, also knew that these rumors were nothing to worry about for Toyama Hikari.

(Anything that increases the chances of winning as a racehorse girl, whether it's a dogeza (a deep bow of respect) or a scheming plot, I'll do it without hesitation... That's how it's always been, Scarlet.)

"Okay—let's use this simplest strategy!"

Suddenly throwing down her pen, holding the drawing covered in writing high above her head, Hikari Toyama shouted excitedly.

She picked up the espresso next to her and drank it all in one gulp, completely ignoring the dark circles under her eyes.

"The Tokyo Mile on May 12th... let those second-rate guys experience despair!"

"Hehehehehe! I can't wait any longer!"

Like a minor villain in the Yu-Gi-Oh! world, Hikari Toyama laughed loudly, oblivious to everyone else.

Chapter 255 Classic Dragon Ball Plot (

On April 12th.

Stardust Illusion got out of bed feeling refreshed and quickly washed up. He then met the eyes of the East Sea Emperor, who had just woken up.

"Good morning, Your Majesty."

Looking at the Stardust Illusion in this state, the emperor sitting on the bed revealed a complex expression in his eyes.

Exhaustion seemed to have no effect on her face. Even with the intense training every day, Stardust Illusion could rise with ten thousand times the energy as she did now.

Because the East Sea Emperor herself was also training for the Japan Derby, she knew very well how tiring it would be under such circumstances.

It's not just the physical body that's affected; the mind is also constantly on the verge of collapse.

To put it bluntly, aside from taking care of my legs, all the other training is done until I squeeze out every last bit of my body's potential.

During these days, the Emperor had confirmed with Stardust Illusion more than once whether she could hold on and whether she needed to increase her rest time to avoid affecting her performance in the competition.

However, Stardust Illusion has denied this claim more than once, and even informed the public that he will be participating in the competition on May 12.

To be honest, even the Emperor of the East Sea has some regrets now, but...

How could I not have seen that Stardust Illusion was such a passionate competitor?

"Is the emperor indulging in wild thoughts again?"

The stardust illusion that opened the door turned around and raised an eyebrow at the emperor, who was still sitting on the bed clutching the blanket:

"Is it just about participating in a competition and getting stronger... or are you worried about the derby?"

"Let me make this clear: I'll be... considerably stronger then!"

--------

The Tokyo Mile, though it has another name, let's just call it that for now.

Because she needed to participate in a competition today, Stardust Illusion controlled her breakfast portion, only eating 10 bowls of ramen before quickly finishing and practicing with Toyama Scarlet on the way to the Tokyo Racecourse.

It was clear that Toyama Hikari was very relaxed. Although she was met with angry shouts from the surrounding audience when she entered, she still smiled and sent Stardust Illusion into the players' rest room before turning to leave.

Although today's Tokyo Mile is also a G1-level high-reward event, the number of strong competitors who can actually participate in this race is not that many because it is scheduled between the first two races of the Triple Crown.

Stardust Illusion does indeed treat every opponent with equal respect, but that doesn't mean she can't discern this situation, which is why she appears relatively relaxed.

As Stardust Illusion walked through the player entrance into the public lounge, still wearing her sportswear in her final outfit, she felt all eyes in the lounge instantly turn to her.

These looks contained hostility yet also a hint of strangeness, making her think there was something on her face that she hadn't wiped off properly, so she quickly reached out and wiped it off again and again.

Stardust Illusion couldn't help but turn to look at a familiar face beside him, feeling the gazes of so many strange eyes.

"First Ruby, is there something on my face? Or is there something else?"

"..."

The elegant young lady, who was resting with the Sun God of the Great Tuo, was stunned. She didn't expect the First Ruby to ask her a question.

Hey, Overlord.

Don't you realize how outrageous your recent behavior has been?

In the midst of vying for the classic triple crown, why would someone take the time to participate in this mile-level race?

It's practically saying that by simply taking a break, they can completely defeat all their opponents in this match without affecting their performance in the upcoming derby.

This is simply disregarding all the contestants present!

Given her attitude, how could anyone possibly be happy for her? They'd probably be hoping to see Stardust Illusion stumble and fail miserably in this match, which might even affect their performance in the upcoming Neon Derby.

"Maybe... well, because you were pushing yourself too hard with Stardust Illusion?"

Out of gratitude for the Stardust Illusion's protection of her and its rescue of her from the illusory glory of her family, the First Ruby carefully chose her words in response.

"Are they pushing themselves too hard?"

Stardust Illusion looked bewildered, not understanding the meaning of the ruby.

However, this performance somewhat broke Ruby's defenses.

She had personally witnessed the intensity of Stardust Illusion's training; it was so rigorous that watching it would give you nightmares.

Judging from Stardust Illusion's expression now, she doesn't seem to think she's been working too hard at all?

This is it!

The unimaginable intensity of the training, and the current battle-hardened selection process...

The First Ruby couldn't understand why Stardust Illusion was working so hard.

Even though she herself has now rallied and is preparing to achieve new glory in short English distances, First Ruby understands that she cannot afford such a reckless arrangement.

"Anyway, these things aren't a big deal for you, right?"

Just as the First Ruby was pondering, the Great Sun God suddenly jumped out from the side.

Still dressed in her usual sexy attire, the Sun Goddess acted as if she were very familiar with Stardust Illusion, jumping up and wrapping her arms around Stardust Illusion's neck:

"Don't worry about these little things. Please continue to guide Way in the upcoming matches~ Don't hold back because of the crepes last time~"

"Ah." When the topic of the competition came up, Stardust Illusion's expression became much more serious.

She looked up, glancing at the faces of the dozen or so runners in the lounge, then looked back at the ruby ​​and the sun god in front of her:

"I will definitely give it my all in this match... even if the opponent is you guys, it won't change."

Seeing this, Ruby chuckled and simply abandoned these complicated and unnecessary thoughts, then started chatting with the two people in front of her.

An unknown amount of time passed.

"Ring ring—"

A bell, signaling the players' readiness to enter the arena, rang throughout the lounge, finally silencing the three's conversation.

Dressed in his decisive battle attire and lightly dressed, the Great Sun God stood up and walked towards the door ahead of the other two, letting out an excited sound:

"Let's go, remember—once we step onto the field, we'll be opponents! Way~!"

The First Ruby straightened her clothes slightly, quickened her pace to catch up with the Sun God, waved to the back and smiled:

"See you later, Stardust... I'll show you how much I've improved lately!"
