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

A chilling aura surged forth, and the air barrier in front of the pale purple figure was suddenly shattered.

Undeterred and unstoppable, their brilliance shines through.

These are the highest strides that can reach the ends of the sky, proof of Megumi McQueen's strongest fighting spirit and existence at this moment!

Go go go go go go!

Even Aldan and Lane, the two sisters who were right behind McQueen, could only sigh inwardly as they gazed at the overwhelming aura emanating from the front:

Wow, what powerful teeth!

[Colorful skill... to the ends of the sky, activated!]

At the same time, Alice, who had been keeping her attention focused on the three Megumi behind her, suddenly noticed that McQueen, who had been obediently following behind the Stardust Illusion, suddenly stomped hard on the downhill ground.

Dirt and bits of grass flew everywhere. Even though McQueen didn't shout out loud, his sudden sprint toward the lead startled all the runners on the track!

None of the contestants present were weak, so they were well aware that even though Stardust Illusion was born to escape, it also possessed considerable endurance.

Ultimately, one man can't fight against many. Even if he could maintain his lead, how much extra energy would it take to be constantly pressured by the runners behind him? Even McQueen, who was confident that his endurance was superior to everyone else's, was not confident that he could maintain it.

Therefore, McQueen's attack at this moment seemed to send a signal to Aldan, Lane, Suzum, and the tea house:

Here it comes! The challenge to the Overlord is about to officially begin!!!

Chapter 312 The Descent of the Dragon Ascending to Heaven

[Runner number 7, Stardust Illusion, broke through the pack first and firmly held onto the lead. Next was Mejiro McQueen, who was also close behind Stardust Illusion. On the outside was Mejiro Ardan, followed by Mejiro Ryan. Alice and Manchester City Tea House were also vying for the lead...]

The air echoed with the announcer's rapid-fire reports of the match situation:

[As expected, Stardust Illusion didn't disappoint any of her supporters. From the very beginning, this racehorse girl's escape propelled the race into a high-speed frenzy—wait! Is McQueen going to start vying for the lead right here!?]

[McQueen is here! McQueen is here! Taking advantage of the downhill gravity, Mejiro McQueen, who has already secured two consecutive G1 victories at the Kyoto circuit, doesn't hesitate to accelerate and chase Stardust Illusion!!!]

[Is this the power of a prestigious team?! The moment Mejiro McQueen started running, Mejiro Ardan accelerated! Ryan also started running!!! These three Mejiro runners changed their running postures one after another! Are they preparing to take action against the leading Stardust Illusion?!]

[This isn't a one-on-one fight, it's three against one! Stardust Illusion is in danger!!! Can she withstand Megumi's combo attack?!]

Before McQueen began to accelerate, Aldan, who had competed with his sisters countless times since childhood and knew them very well, had already noticed something amiss.

This match wasn't just about Eliseko returning from injury; the same was true for Aldan.

Aldan was nicknamed "Glassy Legs" shortly after his debut. He was prone to leg injuries in both competitions and training, and has since rarely enjoyed the feeling of running freely.

She always had to be careful with her legs and feet, and always had to take each step forward cautiously, which cultivated her unique light and airy style during competitions.

However, very few people remember how Meguro Nidan raced on the field before he was diagnosed with this symptom.

Ardan still remembers participating in his first OP-level tournament after his debut, when he was given a title by the media who paid close attention to the Mejiro family's every move.

Generally speaking, for racehorse girls, their names are simply a blessing bestowed upon them at birth and don't carry much meaning. Instead, the titles they are given better reflect their unique characteristics when they run.

For example, "Monster" Oguri Hat, "Emperor" Rudolph Symbol, and "Overlord" Stardust Illusion, etc., are the true names representing Uma Musume Girls, which are recognized by the audience who watched the race and were impressed.

So, what was the title given to Aldan at that time?

the answer is……

boom!

In the blink of an eye, Megumi Ardan's seemingly delicate legs suddenly stomped down, causing the entire ground to cave in under her footsteps.

[A golden light flashed, the skill has been activated!]

(Is this all the power I, Megumi Ardan, have unleashed? Is this all I, as a [Heavy Armored Tank], can achieve...?)

The unprecedented and intense atmosphere of struggle that Ardan had almost forgotten had completely enveloped her.

This girl, blessed with a miracle, no longer needs to worry about her legs being too weak to exert her full strength; running freely is something she can already do.

With his eyes slightly closed, Aldan savored the tense atmosphere of the match.

The Stardust Illusions in the lead row never gave up their intention to accelerate and shake off them from the very beginning, while McQueen in second place fearlessly met them head-on, choosing to accelerate and give chase...

They wanted to win, and they wanted to show their full strength once again.

(I want to... unleash the unique brilliance that belongs only to Meguro Ardan!)

boom! ! !

Her second foot followed immediately after the first, stomping onto the ground with a deafening roar. The ground beneath her feet dented and cracked as if bombarded by a cannon.

It was as if the one taking that step was not a young girl, but a Tiger tank capable of destroying all fronts.

[Evolving in a flash of light...]

[The faint, ethereal afterglow of the colorful skill... has been activated!]

This heavily armored vehicle has already deployed its main cannon, aiming at the racehorse girl at the forefront, and blasting the runner named Mejiro Ardan away!

----------

(Now everyone will probably think that the Meguro family is really joining forces to suppress the Stardust Illusion...)

Compared to the completely excited Aldan and McQueen, Megumi Lane was much calmer, and even had time to care about the public opinion surrounding the match.

From an outsider's perspective, anyone would think that this was all a pre-arranged strategy by the three runners from the Mejiro family.

The three Meguro horse girls flanked the lone Stardust Illusion from both the inside and outside, using their combined strength to suppress it...

Even running on the field myself, I have to admit that this is nothing short of team bullying!

Few viewers could understand that, given the current state of the competition, their best option was to accelerate their pursuit of Stardust Illusion.

Suppressing Stardust in the early game was indeed a consensus reached by Ryan and McQueen. After all, if Stardust Illusion's Great Escape were fully unleashed, everyone would be at a loss for how to win.

However, the audience didn't care about any of that; all they knew was that the situation they were witnessing was three against one, and that these family racehorse girls were bullying the other runners...

(This is really troublesome...)

Ryan slightly turned his gaze, using the horse girl to scan the stands beside him, and noticed that the people on them were starting to look at him with surprise.

Despite her tomboyish appearance and love of muscles, Ryan is actually the older sister type among the Mejiro sisters, who often thinks more and takes care of the other sisters.

Although in terms of age, Ardan is actually a bit older than everyone else, since Ardan and Gao Feng are sisters in the true sense.

However, due to Aldan's physical condition, she is either in the hospital due to injury or undergoing special training to make up for the time she spends in the hospital.

Therefore, she is unable to truly fulfill her responsibilities as an older sister on a regular basis, as managing her own competition career is already quite difficult.

Therefore, it was actually Mejiro Ryan, who was born later, who took over Aldan's position and truly took care of the other Mejiro family's racehorse girls, allowing them to focus on training and racing.

Even Megumi Takamine had to admit that Megumi Ryan had indeed done a good job in this regard, and she believed that her younger sister was very likely to take over her position after retiring and become the new person in charge of external affairs for the Megumi family.

Therefore, as someone who is practically the second-in-command, she has to consider many things in order to allow her sister to run and live freely—for example, inviting Stardust Illusion to comfort McQueen was a decision she made on her own initiative.

Now, the reputation of the Meguro family must be taken into consideration, which is also a major concern for Meguro Ryan.

Although Mejiro Takamine gave those orders before the match, Ryan knew very well the personalities of Aldan and McQueen.

Once they step onto the track, they will never make any compromises that seem like surrender. They will give 1000% effort for even the slightest chance of victory.

So from the very beginning, Ryan had planned to lead her two younger sisters to defy Takamine's demands, allowing them to run freely on the Takarazuka Memorial stage without any worries. As for any questions Takamine might raise, she would bear them herself.

However, the situation is different now. If all three Mejiro runners start to force Stardust Illusion to change positions, it is unknown whether they will be condemned by the audience and have their reputation affected.

Perhaps if one of the three of them wins the match, there will still be some room for maneuver.

If none of the three players win, then the near three-on-one situation in the early game could potentially lead to a heated argument.

When that time comes, whether it's myself, McQueen, Aldan, or the entire Mejiro family, they will all be affected by this wave...

Ryan could feel the intense atmosphere on the field, so intense it was like a powder keg, ready to explode at the slightest spark.

Everyone, including the Stardust Illusion speeding ahead in awe, and the noblewoman and the Golden Ship who had to wait in the rear due to a gate malfunction.

They all possessed the sharpest fighting spirit, using every trick in the book to defeat all their opponents in this competition.

On this stage called Takarazuka, they vie for the dazzling spotlight of the only lead role!

Stardust Illusion, which was leading the pack, had already displayed a terrifying speed comparable to the last horse in a typical race. However, the three riders, Chaza and Soko, and even some of the racehorse girls behind them showed no signs of being completely left behind.

Ryan knew very well that these runners were all top female racehorses in the country, and naturally possessed the strongest desire to win. They were absolutely unwilling to show any weakness or compromise in the competition.

To win, you need to run faster than anyone else.

(So, as the older sister, should I step aside and, in exchange for not pushing them forward, let Aldan and McQueen unleash their full fighting spirit...?)

Of course it wouldn't be like that.

This matter was quite simple from the beginning.

As Megumi Ryan runs on the track, to increase his chances of victory, he needs to use his best skills—uphill and downhill—to accelerate and suppress the Stardust Illusion's escape.

As for any other factors, such as the honor of the Mejiro family, the feelings of the other sisters...

"As long as we win, nothing else matters."

That's right. There's no need to think about what would happen if we couldn't win, nor should we think about whether the other sisters could win.

As a racehorse girl running on the track, she only needs to think about one thing...

That is, how to win!!!

He took a deep breath, and his gaze sharpened.

As if driven by instinct, the body leaned forward, the center of gravity lowered, and the body assumed the most perfect acceleration posture on the downhill slope.

At the Satsuki Sho, the East Sea Emperor once used the terrain to his advantage to demonstrate excellent downhill acceleration skills, at one point reducing the distance between himself and the Stardust Illusion to almost nothing.

However, the running style that the prodigy girl displayed at that time was almost entirely taught to her by Megumi Ryan.

Among the current active riders of the Mejiro family, Mejiro Ardan was once known as the "Heavy Tank" because of his extremely destructive acceleration technique; Mejiro McQueen was hailed as the "Long-Distance Overlord" because of his innate endurance advantage and long-distance skills.

What about Ryan?

Ryan's title is...
