But so what?
Stardust Illusion understood that training was extremely important to him.
Especially next, they will have to face off against contestants who have been in the industry for several years at the Takarazuka Memorial.
Recalling how Qingzhu used physical limitations to restrict Stardust Illusion when facing these veteran powerhouses, it becomes clear that Stardust Illusion's biggest weakness was the gap in physical abilities caused by insufficient training time.
Therefore, in order to prepare for the upcoming competition, she should put even more effort into training and try to narrow the gap with these athletes, so as not to be crushed by other runners in the competition.
Actually, Stardust Illusion wasn't entirely clueless about Aldan's purpose. His first panacea was used on this young lady, so she probably sensed something was wrong and wanted to make contact with him.
If that's really the purpose, then it's even more troublesome, so I refused.
However, Stardust Illusion's decisive refusal touched a chord deep within Megure McQueen, who then began to persuade him:
"Sister Aldan, Ryan, and I are all your rivals from Takarazuka, aren't we? If you can come, you can get to know your opponents beforehand and exchange experiences, wouldn't that be great?"
"..."
The stardust illusion stopped what it was doing, remained silent for a moment, and then continued:
"This is another reason why I refused—the Takarazuka Memorial, which brings together so many powerful rivals, is like a supreme delicacy to me, and the anticipation will become another driving force to make me stronger."
"However, if we learn about the relevant information in advance, won't that make this meal a month later lose some of its flavor?"
"So let's forget about it. I hope to truly appreciate the strength of the three of you again at the Takarazuka Memorial Tournament."
“Especially you, McQueen… I can see that you have become much stronger than before, and your effortless attitude during the Spring Festival is proof of that.”
Stardust Illusion rose from the machine and walked step by step toward the elegant girl with long, pale purple hair:
"Just how powerful are you now? Will you bring me surprises and pressure a month from now... Just thinking about it makes my whole body tremble with excitement."
"Therefore, I will not be engaging in any in-depth communication or competition with you, McQueen, or any of the other competitors in this competition for the time being."
As night fell, even though the equipment area was lit up, the lights dimmed as the Stardust Phantom stepped forward.
McQueen felt that the person walking towards her was shrouded in black mist, and that he was like a monster poised to pounce. Every step he took made her heart tremble.
Even after witnessing the Stardust illusion in this form several times, McQueen still couldn't help but reveal a somewhat awkward smile:
"Stardust, you really are... a monster. Are you expecting me to do something like this?"
"Then that's all I can say—"
As he spoke, McQueen stood up from the machine and strode toward the Stardust Illusion.
The distance between the two rapidly shortened, and a surge of pale purple battle aura suddenly rose, firmly blocking the encroaching darkness in front of McQueen.
"I'll stake my name on Meguro, and I'll make you, Stardust, look at me with awe!"
Chapter 302 The Daily Life of Stardust Illusions (Part 2)
Stardust Illusion simply believes that her relationship with McQueen is one of mutual support and training experience through the family resources McQueen provides, while McQueen sees McQueen as a good rival and a good target, and can also enjoy the services and treatment that a young lady should enjoy.
Everyone gets what they need, and it's a mutually beneficial relationship, which is definitely a healthy relationship suitable for long-term development.
After training, the two took a shower together at the training facility. After helping McQueen dry his hair, Stardust Illusion finally finished his training day and walked back under the moonlight.
When they arrived at the dormitory, a figure sitting at the entrance stood up and waved vigorously in their direction.
"Sweepy?"
The stardust illusion greeted the girl standing there, then carefully scanned around, finding no other figures, which was somewhat strange.
"What brings you here so late?"
Wearing his signature witch's hat, Dongshang seemed somewhat hesitant about the reforms:
"Um... Saber, what have you been busy with lately?"
Stardust Illusion was stunned for a moment. What else could it be busy with? Wasn't it just training, eating, and sleeping?
Seemingly noticing her questioning gaze, Dong Shang Biange didn't speak immediately, but stepped aside to allow the Stardust Illusion to walk forward from the front.
Stardust Illusion was somewhat confused, but still followed her gaze toward the dormitory. Dong Shang Biange quickly followed beside her, walking in together.
"So what exactly happened?"
As he walked and asked questions, Stardust Illusion took out his access card and swiped it to open the entrance.
"Ugh, let's go to Saber's dorm first—I've been waiting for you here for so long, I'm exhausted! Is this how you treat your older sister?!"
Almost like a tantrum, Dongshang Biange pushed and shoved Xingchen Huanxiang to the dormitory door.
As soon as she opened the door, the little witch let out a soft cheer and rushed in, leaping almost without stopping and landing on Stardust Illusion's bed.
After stuffing all the dirty clothes into the washing machine, Stardust Illusion finally had a moment to spare, turning back to look at East Merchant Reform, who was still sprawled on his bed, with a helpless expression:
"So what's wrong? Sweepy, what's wrong with you?"
"I ran away from home—that Ikeda-neko has absolutely no idea what I'm thinking!!!"
Dong Shang carefully removed his witch's hat and placed it aside, then suddenly grabbed a pillow and pressed it over his head, explaining in a muffled voice:
"After the Neon Derby, that girl Ikeda always thinks Sweepy is down because of the loss, so she keeps trying to provoke me in various ways!!! I told her I need to train hard, but she still thought I was sick—how awful, how awful, how awful!!!"
"That's because Sweepy, you're usually quite willful, right?"
Stardust Illusion looked around halfway through the room, then went to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of beverage, poured two glasses, and handed one to Dong Shang Biange:
"—Honey Special Drink, that's all I have. Please make do with this."
"..."
Dong Shangbian peeked out from under his pillow, picked up his cup, took a sip, and savored the sweet taste spreading through his mouth.
Seeing that she had quieted down and didn't seem inclined to speak, Stardust Illusion sat down at the desk, pulled out the rulebook that had been laid out there yesterday, and began studying it while drinking his beverage.
A sudden silence enveloped the entire dormitory room. As if unable to bear the quiet, Dongshang Reform had no choice but to speak up:
"...This is the kind of drink that the Emperor of the East Sea likes to drink, right?"
For some reason, Stardust Illusion felt a familiar atmosphere enveloping it, and cold sweat trickled down its face from the high temperatures of June.
"It was indeed bought by the emperor, after all, I'm not really the type to like drinking beverages."
She answered honestly.
"Humph~"
Dongshang Biange did not deny this answer; she took another sip of her drink and cast her gaze toward the Stardust Illusion:
"Saber, Sweepy wants to stay with you for a few days, is that alright?"
"……what?"
"What?! Didn't I say I was running away from home?! Only by staying here can I escape the annoyance of that Ikeda-nyan guy!"
Before they could exchange more than a few words, the little witch once again displayed her characteristic willful nature. However, Stardust Illusion was already used to her behavior and didn't feel offended at this moment.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine... but is it really okay to not train for a few days?"
"I can train with you, Saber! How about it?!"
"It's not that great. If Toyama finds out about you, he'll probably try to extort a lot of money from Ikeda... Is that alright?"
Stardust Illusion chuckled. Upon hearing that Dongshang Reforms actually dared to temporarily join her team for training, she knew that he had absolutely no idea how infamous his trainer, Toyama Scarlet, really was.
"Ah! I don't care! Saber, you've acknowledged me as your older sister, so these problems are all your responsibility!"
"Even if you want me to handle it, I can't... huh?"
Just as Stardust Illusion was about to express its reluctance, it suddenly remembered what McQueen had told it earlier, and its tone changed.
She threw a tantrum on the bed like a child, but Dong Shang Biange, unaware of Stardust Illusion's presence, subtly raised her eyelids to observe her, lest she truly anger her. Hearing the change in Stardust Illusion's tone, she quickly pressed for an answer:
"What's wrong?! Saber, you've come up with a solution, haven't you! That's great!!!"
"Hmm... I can only say you can give it a try. You can ask some of the Mejiro family's racehorse girls to train you for a few days. I don't think they would refuse to let you help with training."
The stardust illusion provided an explanation.
Looking at the books she was currently reading, she thought to herself that she probably wouldn't be able to learn the rules today, so she simply changed the books and walked towards the Eastern Merchants' Reform on the bed—
"What?! Saber... Stardust Illusion, what are you trying to do?!"
Seeing the 180cm tall girl, Stardust Illusion, suddenly walk towards him, even unbuttoning her clothes as she went, Dong Shang's voice changed in fright:
"This...this is way too early!! At least it should be done in front of the three goddesses... ugh!"
Before she could finish speaking, Stardust Illusion reached out and scooped her up in its arms, then threw her directly out of the bathroom—
"I feel a bit smelly, Sweepy, go take a shower before you go to sleep."
With a swift mid-air turn and landing, Dong Shangbian stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the Stardust Illusion, who had already removed her clothes and revealed her body, as she put her pajamas back on.
You said I...stink?!
"Smelly body odor is normal, right? Anyway, I'll take a shower before going to bed; that's my bottom line—"
"Saber, you pervert! You idiot! You real moron who doesn't understand girls' hearts! I'll fight you to the death! Normal attack magic!!!"
"Well done! Fiery Draw Sword, Flaming Cross Slash!"
"In!fi!ni!ty!!!"
"A grand story—!"
Chapter 303 I'm so tired lately, is there a pig here?
"I feel so tired lately."
The sun is shining brightly; it's time for another day of training.
It was only 10 a.m., and Stardust Illusion was already soaked in sweat, half-lying on a deck chair in the rest area of the Draco team's training field.
"Stardust, are you having some trouble with your training?"
Super Stream, who was holding Stardust Illusion's two bare feet in his arms and carefully massaging and relieving the fatigue in her calf muscles, quickly looked up with a concerned expression.
"It's not tiring in that sense."
Stardust Illusion raised her arm to shield her eyes from the direct sunlight, then turned her head and took a large gulp of water from the straw of the energy drink that Mi Yu had handed her.
