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

"what?"

"No, it's nothing!"

Dong Shangbian hurriedly shook her head vigorously. If this guy found out that she had inexplicably suspected her of taking banned drugs, it wouldn't be something that could be resolved with just an apology.

However, the fact that I'm inexplicably starting to doubt this kind of thing... is it because today's game has thrown me off balance?

Thinking back to the situation in the competition just now, Dongshang Biange couldn't help but feel deflated, and his whole dejected state became apparent:

(The gap between myself and the Stardust Illusion has widened again...)

Statistically, the difference was only 3 seconds; in fact, this time would have been enough to win the derby a few years ago. But...

Sigh, in the end, I still couldn't beat her?

Stardust Illusion, that guy who used to just follow behind and kick his legs frantically, has now become so powerful that he can't even understand it.

"You're thinking about the competition, right?"

The Sky Palace suddenly moved closer, and this enormous, villainous face suddenly appeared before them, startling Dong Shang into leaning back in fright.

"...What Sweepy is thinking is none of your business, is it!?"

"Honestly, always trying to get close to you—don't think I'll let my guard down!"

To prevent this person from continuing to pester him, Dong Shang Biange stood up again, chewed up the soda candy in his mouth and swallowed it, then began pacing back and forth in the preparation room:

"Saber, why isn't she here yet? We need to prepare the song for the winner's stage..."

"The song for the winner's stage has been decided."

As if hearing the call for change from the Eastern Merchants, Stardust Illusion, who happened to be pushing open the door, entered the room with Narita Shirahito behind her. She raised the statue of the three goddesses in her hand:

"As usual, I've chosen an original piece. Let's start practicing!!!"

Chapter 295 Shocking! The Overlord of the End of the Century Kills a Man Alone!

After the initial excitement of the groundbreaking derby champion's victory subsided, people began to focus on the East Sea Emperor, who had fallen due to an accident during the most intense part of the match.

For fans who love Uma Musume, they naturally understand the significance of injuries, especially for Tokai Teio, who has many supporters as a popular rider.

In just a few hours, the matter has become the talk of the town, and its popularity on the internet has even surpassed that of Stardust Illusion's victory. This is also because in the post-match interview, Stardust Illusion himself admitted that he is more concerned about the Emperor's condition than the joy of winning the championship.

Amidst the heated discussions surrounding these topics, there emerged a group of fans, including Beibu Xuanju, who considers himself the number one supporter of the Donghai Emperor.

"What do we do?! What do we do?! What do we do?! Little Diamond! His Majesty is so badly injured... Could something really have happened to him?!"

The little girl with black hair stood at the entrance of the racetrack affiliated hospital, anxiously pacing back and forth. Just now, she wanted to go into the hospital to find out which department the East Sea Emperor had been sent to, or at least to find out some news about her.

However, even after inquiring through Satomi Kozo's connections, only this answer was received:

The Donghai Emperor player only received emergency treatment at the hospital. After ensuring that he was out of danger, he was transferred to a hospital by the Central Teresen Academy with the highest level of care.

Furthermore, since the ambulance was specially dispatched by Rudolf, the specific hospital to which the patient was taken is currently unknown.

"Xiao Bei... His Majesty will definitely be alright. There's no use in you being so anxious. How about we rest for a bit, or think of another way to find out?"

Seeing that her friend had been circling around for almost half an hour, Mitsuzumi couldn't think of a better way, so he could only reach out and pull her back to prevent her from really wandering around for the whole day.

"But—Little Diamond, didn't you already ask around? This matter has been blocked by His Majesty's trainer and the Emperor himself. There's no way for outsiders to find out..."

The northern black horse was pulled to a stop, turned its head, and two lines of dried tears were clearly visible on its face.

Clearly, North Black was in excruciating pain ever since he witnessed the East Sea Emperor fall and was unable to get up. Furthermore, the champion of the Derby, Stardust Illusion, had personally spoken with the Emperor.

Suffering such a serious injury and losing the game, only to watch his friend who won the championship stand in front of him, what must His Majesty have been thinking at that moment?

Although Kita Genko was able to see clearly with the help of Saima Musume's excellent vision that Stardust Illusion was communicating with her at the time, she was surrounded by cheers for the birth of the champion and could not hear what the two were saying. She could only guess from their expressions and movements that their conversation was perhaps not harmonious.

The thought of the tearful expression on the Eastern Sea Emperor's face as he watched Stardust Illusion's retreating figure after she turned and left caused Northern Black Steed another pang of pain in his heart.

"That Stardust Illusion guy... winning the match wasn't enough, he had to go and provoke the Emperor—!"

Gritting his teeth, Beifang Xuanju brandished his fists with resentment, as if the air in front of him was that guy.

Light Diamond, standing to the side, could certainly see what Northern Black Horse was angry about. However, being even more adept at observing people's hearts, she knew from their last encounter that Stardust Illusion was a pure runner who was passionate about running and racing, and would not do the kind of despicable thing that Northern Black Horse imagined.

"Stardust Illusion probably just went to check on the Emperor, right? After all, she ran straight to the Emperor without stopping after crossing the finish line. She must have been very worried..."

"Stop speaking so disrespectfully to the Overlord!"

The person was heard before they appeared!

A furious shout suddenly rang in the ears of the two little ones. Before Hokuto Genko and Satomi Hikari could react, a fast orange figure had already rushed in front of them!

Suddenly, someone grabbed his collar with one hand, and Beifang Xuanju was shocked to find himself completely powerless as the orange-haired girl, who looked about the same size as him, lifted him off the ground.

"You bastard! Lord Stardust Illusion would never think of provoking other contestants! You're not allowed to say that!!!"

"Wait—! Xiao Bei only misspoke because she was in such a hurry…!"

Seeing the orange-haired girl rushing towards them, tightly gripping Kita Genko's collar, and her other hand clenched into a fist and stretched out behind her as if to strike, Satomi Hikari quickly moved closer to the two of them, firmly grasped her hand, and sincerely apologized:

"We did not intend to attack Stardust Illusion, please forgive us!"

"What are you doing! Did I say something wrong?!"

Northern Black Horse, who had been stunned for a moment by the sudden situation, now realized what the girl in front of him was doing.

The tension in her heart, already stretched to its limit by the emperor's injuries, suddenly snapped. Ignoring all advice, she roared at the girl before her:

"Your Majesty! From the very beginning, you've been training with all your might, striving to be better than anyone else, which is why you work so hard! You never give up, racing on the track!!!"

"But...why did this happen! Why did it have to be the Emperor who suffered this?! He already lost both the Satsuki Sho and the Derby, that wasn't enough pain—why did the Emperor have to suffer such a serious injury...that could affect his entire career!!!"

"If Her Majesty the Emperor really can't keep running... then what should we do?! You support Stardust Illusion, right?! But why would the victor, who's basking in everyone's cheers, run to the Emperor who's in such a miserable state... Doesn't she know what it means to read the room?!"

"I...I...I just...can't imagine how much pain the Emperor must have been in...yet had to force a smile and talk to Stardust Illusion...Hey, tell me, what was Stardust Illusion thinking...!?"

Large tears welled up in his eyes, and the Northern Black Horse was lifted into the air, crying uncontrollably.

He had been suppressing these thoughts in his heart since the beginning, and even though Beifang Xuanju wanted to vent them, he didn't know where to begin.

Guangzuan, who was beside me, had already worried about me enough and provided so much help, so I had to pull myself together and actively try to find out more information about this matter...

Chapter 296 This is a Trial

I must also pull myself together and actively try to find out more information about this matter.

Until just now, Northern Black Horse had been suppressing himself with these thoughts.

But the orange-haired girl who suddenly appeared gave her the opportunity to shout out these frustrations and fears. At first, it was an angry roar at the other party, but later it simply became a lament for her to vent.

Perhaps it was because Beifang Xuanju had completely released her inner feelings that she looked so disheveled at the moment. Not only was she crying with tears streaming down her face, but her whole body was also trembling from excessive grief.

Seeing this exaggerated situation, Good Opera, who had only intended to teach the person who maliciously speculated about the stardust illusion a lesson, immediately panicked and released her, looking at Satomi Hikari standing beside her with pleading eyes:

"I didn't mean to actually hurt her, I just wanted to scare her—is she alright?!"

"Xiao Bei, she..."

With a complicated expression, Satomi Mitsuzu pulled her friend into her arms and gently patted the back of the choked-up Kita Genko. Of course, she could understand what the other person was thinking.

However, neither Northern Black Horse nor she herself were fans of horse racing girls. No matter how worried they were about the East Sea Emperor's injury, there was not much they could do, let alone truly care about him.

The Northern Black Horse collapsed suddenly because it suddenly realized this difference in status.

Even if something really happened to the Emperor of the East Sea, what could she possibly do?

Even if the Emperor of the East Sea really has to retire due to injury, can Xiao Bei and I do something to make amends for him?

the answer is negative.

As fans, they can only offer futile worries and blessings, unable to truly connect with the players' lives and competitions.

"It really isn't my fault!"

Finding that even the diamond in the quartz bowl didn't answer, Good Opera became even more flustered.

Ever since that chance encounter with Stardust Illusion in the restroom, her trainer, a woman named Scarlet Toyama, somehow obtained the contact information for Good Opera Mother.

Later, as a negotiating agent for Stardust Illusion, she frequently met with Good Opera's mother and herself, and distributed fan benefits.

Although Good Opera doesn't know what the trainer's purpose is, the trainer does often send her a lot of limited edition Stardust Illusion merchandise and even helps her contact the idol herself. As her fan, this is already a dream treatment.

The reason why Good Opera stayed around the racecourse for several hours after the race ended was because Scarlet Toyama had specially arranged for her to meet Stardust Illusion in the lounge.

Stardust Illusion, who had just finished the competition, was visibly exhausted, but still warmly welcomed Good Opera. She even remembered her promise to Good Opera and encouraged her once again to pursue her dream of becoming the next Overlord.

After enjoying the ultimate fan treatment, Good Opera left the scene in a daze, only to bump into the two people in front of him talking badly about Stardust Illusion.

Therefore, the opera singer, who had completely regarded himself as the successor to the overlord, acted rashly and rushed up to teach the two who had slandered Stardust Illusion a lesson.

But that was just to scare her, it shouldn't have come to this, right?

The guy named "Xiao Bei" just shouted a lot, but because the later part was mixed with sobbing, I couldn't hear him clearly. I could only barely tell that he was worried about the Emperor of the East Sea to this extent.

"In any case, the Emperor of the East Sea will be alright, so don't be sad anymore—others will think I'm the one who scared you like this!"

"……kindness?"

The sobbing and crying suddenly stopped. Northern Black Steed lifted his head from Guangzuan's arms, revealing tear-filled eyes as he looked at the person before him:

"...Who are you, and why did you say the Emperor would be alright? What do you know?!"

"Ah—that..."

Regarding the injury of the East Sea Emperor, Good Opera did inquire with Stardust Illusion herself and received a clear answer from her:

The East Sea Emperor's injuries look terrifying, but they are actually not serious and he will recover fully soon, so there is no need to worry too much.

So when he saw that this person was worried to such an extent, he instinctively blurted out what he knew.

However, when the other party asked her, she remembered that before Toyama Scarlet led her into the lounge, she had specifically instructed her not to reveal that she was able to make private contacts, so as not to affect the reputation of Stardust Illusion...

Oh no, did I let something slip?

Thinking of this, Good Opera stammered, trying to brush it off: "I heard it from someone! Yes, I heard it from someone else!"

"Who told you? Who told you that?! Please tell me!!!"

Northern Black Horse wouldn't be satisfied with just this kind of news. Forgetting even to wipe the tears and snot from her face, she quickly turned and tightly grasped the opera singer's hands:

"How badly is His Majesty injured? Has he received treatment? Will it affect his running activities? Will he be fully recovered?"
