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

The girl in front of her locked her gaze on the back of the stardust illusion that had thrown her off.

Narita Shirojin always reminds himself not to lose his temper so easily and let the rhythm of the game lead him to do something unreasonable, and he is able to maintain this level of self-control.

However, the Stardust Illusion is a completely different existence.

Whenever he faces a race with this runner, Narita Shirahito finds himself unable to control his emotions; in other words, he is very prone to losing control due to anger.

According to Maruzensky, perhaps it is because she and Stardust Illusion have many similarities that when their fighting spirit and aura collide, it will stir up her hidden essence.

What is one's true nature?

Narita Shirahito had thought about this question before, and calling herself a lone wolf was also a way for her to explore the essence of things.

But what exactly is a lone wolf?

Narita Shirahito, who had been unable to understand such matters after several defeats, seemed to grasp a sliver of the essence of the matter in that instant.

I am a lone wolf, I am a wild beast...

How could a wild beast possibly remain calm when faced with the provocation of a monster?

From the very beginning, her thinking was wrong. Faced with such provocation, as Narita Shirahito, she should absolutely not have considered suppressing these emotions.

What I should have done was...

Unleash this fury completely, and transform it into fuel for the fiery wolves' steam!

"I don't care about winning the game or anything like that..."

Narita Shirahito's already cold voice now carried an even more cruel and resolute tone.

If anyone could see her face at this moment, they would find that the girl's appearance has now completely transformed into that of a wild beast.

"We must completely destroy this arrogant bastard!!!"

He shouted loudly.

The girl stomped down suddenly, and her speed as she flew forward increased dramatically!

The sharp and wild figure strode forward in an instant, the grass cracking from the force of its stomping. All the contestants present could clearly hear a high-pitched wolf howl.

The artificial ground, made of stagnant water and soft mud, was completely destroyed by Narita Shirahito's steps, revealing the truly hard ground beneath.

Narita Shirahito, dressed in jet black, left the two behind him and galloped towards the Stardust Illusion ahead.

With terrifying footsteps like those of a charging beast, and a matching surge of frenzied battle aura, the enormous wolf-shaped phantom propelled the runner to her peak speed.

Right here, it bares its fangs at you.

[Colorful skill Flame Wolf, activated!]

(Try fighting back if you can... It's a monster on the run!!!)

------

[Oh! Stardust Illusion has dashed ahead! She's shaken off her pursuers and is accelerating. So that's why she didn't accelerate immediately earlier—she wasn't used to the heavy riding arena yet… Wait! Someone else is still accelerating and chasing!]

[It's Narita Shirajin! Narita Shirajin has surged to second place in one go, and instead of stopping, she's chasing after Stardust Illusion, who has already established a safe distance ahead!]

[Shall we have a duel here?! Narita Shirahito, Narita Shirahito is slightly faster, can you catch up!?]

With the host's shout, the overwhelming power of the Flaming Wolf instantly locked the arena in place.

The jet-black final suit draped over the runner resembled the steel mane of a hungry wolf, and even the torrential rain couldn't suppress it in the slightest.

Narita Shirahito's figure suddenly accelerated, relentlessly chasing the stardust illusion at the forefront, unwilling to fall behind in the slightest.

The dominance of a domain runner over non-domain runners is overwhelming, almost impossible to resist by any means. Not to mention that even the Stardust Illusion's domain can defeat the racehorse girl, who is also a domain runner. At this moment, Narita Shirohito is that second-rate runner who does not possess a domain.

However, at this moment, her mind was completely controlled by the will of the wolf, and her fighting spirit was endlessly vented in all directions without any sign of stopping.

At the same time, the current scene involuntarily reminded Narita Shirahito of the moments in the previous matches—each time he was ruthlessly and thoroughly defeated by this guy, not even qualified to be a supporting character...

In the past, when faced with such a pursuit, Narita Shirahito also unleashed her own strength, and even the Stardust Illusion's domain could not completely suppress her.

This demonstrates her exceptional potential as a racehorse girl; if it weren't for this year's race, this runner would absolutely be a contender for the classic triple crown.

Now, the girl has completely unleashed her inner instincts, surrendering her body to the other party and transforming into a real wolf to fight against the stardust illusion.

(Stardust illusion... Stardust illusion... Stardust illusion!!!)

We must absolutely bite her to death.

He wanted to shatter the illusion of the powerful Stardust, who seemed to be running in another dimension, and make her understand her dignity as a runner.

Don't be so impulsive, it will cause you to lose speed in the second half of the race!

A sliver of reason seemed to remain in her mind as she tried to persuade Narita Shirahito, who was on the verge of exploding, hoping she would consider the whole situation.

(Ugh...it's so noisy.)

This isn't about arguing or not. As a racehorse girl seeking victory, she must remain calm and rational when dealing with each competitor...

(It's so noisy...!)

Even if we catch up with Stardust Illusion now, it won't make much difference, right? She still has plenty of time to regain the lead. If we can only defeat her once, saving it for the final showdown is the best option...

"Ugh! That's why it's so noisy!!!"

Tear—!

The invisible rope that symbolized reason was completely torn apart by this cathartic roar.

His wild and restless eyes, blazing with flames, could see nothing but the stardust illusion rushing forward.

Faced with this predicament, Narita Shirahito has made a decision that anyone would call reckless.

However, no one can deny this determination!

(It's not just Flame Wolf; that guy isn't someone you can defeat with this level of running technique.)

As Narita Shirahito raced forward, he felt his mind become clearer than ever before, and time seemed to slow down infinitely, as if it only needed one more opportunity to stop completely.

To defeat the stardust illusion and reclaim the dignity that belongs to runners... she needs an even stronger, more invincible power.

As a Flame Wolf, it was ultimately too difficult for him to break through the Wind and Thunder Dragon in front of him, whether with his claws or fangs.

Therefore, since the minions are not strong enough, then bring out more powerful weapons.

He forged the dragon-slaying sword with his own strength.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, her only chance to challenge the Stardust Illusion and utterly defeat it—

Bet everything you have to reach for the possibility of surpassing the Stardust Illusion.

This is not for victory, nor for the championship... This is simply a step taken for Narita Shirahito, for the dignity of this wolf!

(If my strength isn't enough to defeat you, then... let a miracle happen!)

As the stardust illusion ran ahead, Narita Shirahito followed closely behind, crossing the first bend and arriving at the second straight.

All the muscles in her body suddenly swelled up, and her legs stomped heavily on the ground.

[Colorful skill, one strike in two... activated!]

At this moment, intense pride and anger burned within her chest, propelling her power to an even higher level.

I absolutely do not want to be looked down upon by her, and I will absolutely not lose!

Time and again, being defeated by the illusion of stardust forged the final piece of the puzzle for Narita Shirahito's path to the highest realm.

As he slowly closed his eyes, Narita Shirahito could still see the track clearly in his mind.

She had no time to worry about anything else; right there on the second bend, she charged straight ahead.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

This was a final sprint, a burst of energy and determination, a true speed that could only be unleashed when she surrendered her body to instinct, fueled by burning fighting spirit and rage.

Everything froze completely in that instant, and darkness descended upon the arena.

Even the previously noisy cheers and the sound of pouring rain had completely dissipated, as if only this runner remained in the entire world.

High in the infinitely distant sky, a star named "Greedy Wolf" suddenly twinkled, casting its starlight down onto the arena.

Even thick clouds could not stop the starlight from piercing through the dark clouds and shining on the man named Narita Shirahito.

With her exceptional gait, her honed physique, and her burning fighting spirit, the three essential elements of miracles have completely descended upon this racehorse girl, allowing her to seize control of the racetrack!

A giant wolf, emerging from the shadows, suddenly appeared in this new territory.

The giant wolf phantom was so enormous it was suffocating. Its body seemed to be made of shadows, its jet-black mane blending with the drifting shadows. The shadow beneath it was connected to Narita Shirahito's fighting spirit, and it held a huge longsword in its mouth.

The Shadow Wolf completely ignored the other runners on the track, who were standing still in various positions.

The giant wolf slightly bent its limbs, its body taut like an arrow ready to be released, aiming at the very front of the track...

Then, with a sudden leap, the Shadow Wolf, with a long sword in its mouth, completely transformed into a shadow in mid-air, and the next second it attacked the Stardust Illusion at the forefront, which was still frozen by the domain!

"Narita Shirahito, he actually activated his domain in a place like this?"

Inside the VIP room, Rudolf, who had come to watch the race long ago, gazed at the runners who had torn through the rain and completely entered the realm of the race, and then turned his attention to his friend Maruzensky beside him.

She knew that, for the sake of today's neon derby, Maru Zenki was carefully guiding Narita Shirahito's running, just as he had taught emperors.

However, if he is indeed a disciple of Maruzensky, then choosing to compete on the final bend, just like Maruzensky, and trying to break through the boundaries would be the reasonable approach.

The race is not even halfway through yet. If you rashly open up your territory, even if you can gain an advantage temporarily, it will be difficult to maintain that advantage until the end, and it is even hard to say whether you can finish the race.

Presumably, if he continues running until the effect of the domain completely disappears, Narita Shirahito will feel the negative consequences that come with this power.

Putting aside respect for those who opened the domain, if we were to allow Rudolf to symbolically evaluate this role on her own, even she could only say this:

"What a reckless act."
