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

For her, competing with others and displaying extraordinary brilliance is also the ultimate goal.

(If you guys on the field can't show your strength and join me in presenting a fierce competition to all the viewers...)

Then there won't be a chance to regret it then, right?

At that time, the concept of "competition" will no longer exist in this arena.

That would be the tyrant's brutal treatment of the rebels...

It was a hunt where monsters wiped out everyone.

Resist, or kneel down.

Make your choice before me!

next second.

The raging wind, which swept everything away, completely connected and pierced through the first and second straight sections of the track.

[Unbelievable!! Stardust Illusion shows no sign of stopping! Her storm-like acceleration completely traversed the first straight line in the blink of an eye!!!]

[That's not all. We've reached the second straight, and the uphill section on the second straight is... what?! Stardust Illusion hasn't slowed down at all! Even facing an uphill slope with a gradient of over 2, they still haven't slowed down!!!]

Suddenly, I was awakened by the host's shouts that echoed in my ears.

Sakura Hokuto-o's face still held the look of disbelief from just moments before.

Fortunately, even before the mind understood what was happening, the battle-hardened body acted before the brain.

The cherry blossom-colored fighting spirit that burst forth did not dissipate after shattering the demonic nature; instead, it surged up again the instant the stardust illusion erupted and accelerated.

Pursue relentlessly, surge forward with explosive speed!

(We absolutely cannot let the Stardust Illusion leave us behind here!)

As Sakura Hokuto ran away, this thought became firmly in his mind.

The 1600m mile race distance is not difficult for her, who already has experience in 2000m races. Once she lets her opponent pull too far ahead here, Beidou Wang has no confidence that she can catch up in the final leg.

We have no choice but to fight here...

What flashed through my mind was the first game I ever watched.

In the year that monster first debuted in the Central Region, the then-young Hokuto saw his older sister, Chiyo, running wildly with everything burning within her at the Neon Stadium—

Now is the time to show the will of the cherry blossoms!

Sakura Hokuto clenched his teeth, squeezing his lungs to forcefully draw out the oxygen his body needed.

She suddenly arched her body, all her muscles working together in perfect unison.

(I must have been out of my mind to have doubted your fighting spirit before.)

At this moment, Beidou Wang suddenly recalled his ridiculous deductions in the gate.

Once you've stood on the field and witnessed the Stardust Illusion running, you'll never have that kind of doubt...

Regardless of who her opponent is, whether strong or weak, she will treat them with complete equality and unleash her overwhelming power to the fullest extent.

This is the message conveyed by the monstrous footsteps of the Stardust Illusion!

Therefore, even Sakura Hokuto-ō had no choice but to respond to the Stardust Illusion here...

Whether it's an apology or a greeting.

As a racehorse girl of the Sakura family... and the younger sister of Sakura Chiyo-o!

How could we possibly suffer such an ugly defeat without a fight?

Stardust Illusion... What an unreasonable tyrant!

Let me show you what the terrifying offensive of the Sakura Army is all about.

"If you can make this cherry blossom wither... then I'll give it a try!!!"

Do everything in your power to stop her!

boom!

It was as if petals were falling before my eyes, and my combat boots, inlaid with horseshoes, pounded heavily on the lawn in front of me.

At that moment, Sakura Hokuto was ready to push the pace of the entire match to its limit, and so... he unleashed his power!

In the blink of an eye, this runner had already created a new wave on the track.

A cherry blossom-colored storm descended upon the arena in an instant, rapidly pursuing the fleeing stardust illusion—

--no.

boom!

Suddenly, flames erupted from the gun barrel of the Runner, and the invisible bullet that was fired pierced through the chest of the North Star King in that instant!

Arms crossed over the chest.

Witnessing Stardust Illusion's overwhelming advantage from the very beginning, leading the pack ahead of everyone else, Toyama Scarlet couldn't help but reveal a villainous smile on her face.

These days, although she spends all her time at the academy, she inevitably faces pressure regarding taking on the role of a racehorse girl.

Even though she didn't care about these things, there were always people chattering around Toyama Hikari, preventing her from thinking about the next training plan.

Perhaps all these doubts will only intensify today?

That's how she thought it.

After all, Stardust Illusion displayed such excellent form in today's match that no one could find fault with them.

But precisely because of this, supporters who have come to their senses will realize this: if Stardust Mirage could maintain this form and directly participate in the Neon Derby, wouldn't their chances of winning be even greater?

Why force her to attend this G1-level match today, preventing her from focusing on preparing for the derby?!

However, none of this matters.

Hearing the buzzing chatter of the audience around her, Hikari Toyama shrugged.

She knew the true state of the Stardust Illusion, so there was no need to worry about Derby's condition...

Perhaps winning this match will allow her to approach the more important events to come in a better position?

If there weren't any more suitable matches to follow, Scarlet Toyama would have even considered selecting a few more for Stardust Illusion to participate in.

But it doesn't matter now...

These viewers simply couldn't understand, or even considered, the possibility of the Stardust Visions Adventure.

So abuse him, Your Majesty.

From this moment forward, use your undeniable power to silence everyone completely.

Let them gaze upon you and etch your brilliance into their hearts.

The neon derby is a stage like this, and today can be seen as a rehearsal...

Go ahead and do whatever you want, [Oguri Hat 2nd Generation] Stardust Illusion!

--------

"Damn it—! I still can't catch up?!"

In Sakura Hokuto's vision, the distance between himself and the Stardust Illusion did not shorten at all; in fact, it was gradually increasing by a tiny margin.

Her all-out effort and breakthrough were utterly meaningless in the face of the star illusion.

The Overlord's footsteps were like an ever-approaching iron cavalry, crushing the Sakura Hokuto-ō, who was trying to stop the chariot with his bare hands.

As the race entered its second half, the arc of the third bend came into view for all the runners.

The Tokyo Mile, held at Tokyo Racecourse, features a very unique track layout, specifically the final straight of the racecourse.

自赛程1075m到1600m，整整500m还有余的超长直线，甚至占据正常比赛赛程1/3还要多。

Any player familiar with this course will use the final straight line as their battleground.

The third and final turns, which precede the final turn, are often strategically abandoned by runners as a way to conserve energy.

However, besides the stardust illusion, one runner discovered the significance of two turns in the race...

"Haaaaaaah!!!!"

She scolded him, ran, and then chased after him!

Just as Sakura Hokuto had relaxed his pace, another elegantly dressed young lady with flowing long hair suddenly rushed out from behind him.

In the blink of an eye, she overtook Beidou Wang and headed towards the bend, closely following the silhouette of Stardust Illusion!

Think about it, think it through carefully...!

Let's think about what the next steps should be!

Think, then analyze, and find the most brilliant solution.

This is a philosophy that First Ruby has always adhered to.

Unlike those forced by her family, she, who always cherished the memory of the glamorous clan, naturally had her own understanding of "glamorousness."

Even now, she has developed the habit of thinking about how to deal with her opponents.

Stardust Illusion's last leg is quite powerful; even I... unless I activate my domain on the spot, there is no way to match it. This is a certainty.

The final straight line she is about to step into will likely become the final battlefield where she crushes all her pursuers. Once she steps into that place, Ruby cannot guarantee what kind of treatment she will receive.

However, it's not time to give up completely yet...

Think about it, come up with a solution!

From the very beginning of my debut, I have been constantly disappointing those who supported me and had high hopes for me.

As a descendant of the magnificent family, and as the first ruby, she went from having only one move to having two moves, and then five moves...

Even after returning injured, he was still defeated by Stardust Illusion and Ikuno Dedus.

It's completely disgracing the title of "glamorous".

Even so... she never felt that she was truly inferior to any of her opponents.
