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

Stardust Illusion is by no means the only racehorse girl who possesses the power to fight against domains!

The intensity had already reached a suffocating level just as the race entered the final stretch of the first straight.

Like shooting stars streaking across the track, two runners moved side by side, taking steps as they faced the uphill slope.

[Here he comes! Meguro Ryan! It's the Dragon of Ascension, Meguro Ryan!!! This runner unleashed terrifying speed on his most proficient slope!!]

[Third...Second! Ryan's here! Ryan's here!!! Ryan's speed is incredible! In the blink of an eye, the Stardust Illusion is already upon us!!!]

Can we catch up? Can we catch up with them? ...We caught up! We caught up!

[Stardust Illusion has been caught up, and Megumi Rayon has taken the lead... Wait!! Stardust Illusion is also accelerating! The two are locked in a close race again on the uphill section!!!]

In the VIP lounge of the stands, Meguro Mine, who had arrived early to watch the game alongside Rudolf, frowned slightly.

"To choose to start a domain-level confrontation here, what was Ryan's judgment all about..."

Beside Megumi Mine sat a girl who, though still a child, possessed an elegant demeanor. Hearing this, she tilted her head, tugged at Mine's clothes, and asked:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Sister Ryan?"

"Perhaps Ryan believes that her body is capable of withstanding the side effects of activating the domain prematurely... so she wants to take advantage of the time difference when the Stardust Illusion just begins to prepare for its escape to seize the lead. This is a very useful way to strike at her, who is used to escaping."

"But it would have been a better option to join forces with McQueen and Aldan, and flank them from three sides. Ryan shouldn't have been oblivious to that..."

"peak……"

Upon hearing these remarks, Rudolf, seemingly oblivious to the action, turned his gaze back to the field, glancing sideways and frowning.

"This is not a team competition, you need to understand that."

"For the Mejiro family, having a large number of famous runners is an advantage in itself."

Meguro Takamine showed no sign of politeness towards Rudolf, letting out a cold snort that carried an unequivocal rejection:

"Our Mejiro family's affairs are none of your concern, Emperor Tresen."

Faced with such a blunt response, Rudolf could only remain silent.

As for the current Megumi Takashiro, although he was indeed a runner from the same era as her and they had a very close relationship, he was still a runner in the same era as her.

However, since the beginning of this year, seemingly because the other party was appointed as the head of the Mejiro family, Rudolf has been able to sense that his friend has also begun to change.

She could understand that maintaining the operation of the entire family and taking care of and training generations of female racehorses was a very difficult task.

For example, the Symbol family, to which she belongs, was once glorious, but now only the runners who are still active remain. Sirius Symbol alone possesses the level of a top-notch racehorse girl.

Compared to her former glory, it can be said that her family has completely fallen on hard times.

However, Rudolf symbolized that he did not want to see such a change in the peak.

Especially her statement just now, suggesting that the three runners from the Megumi family should team up to target Stardust Illusion alone—admittedly, this approach is actually within the rules, not to mention that powerful runners are already facing situations where other runners team up against them.

However, Rudolf Symbol always believed that doing so would be tantamount to making the collaborating racehorses concede defeat prematurely, forcing them to give up any chance of winning in order to assist others...

With this mindset, how can one possibly reach the peak while running and competing?

"Aldan, Lane, and McQueen are all top runners. Even if they didn't think about anything else, they would still have a chance to win... Gao Feng, you should understand that, right?"

Since the child, still naive and with his eyes wide open, was sitting between the two, Rudolf didn't want to embarrass himself.

"As the older sister...shouldn't you trust them?"

"Stardust Illusion is stronger than Aldan and the others in both potential and strength. Rudolf, you must know that, right?"

Megumi's lips turned white from being pressed together, but he still retorted:

"Compared to those real monsters, they are still... How can I believe them?"

Of course, she didn't really force her three younger sisters to compete with a purely utilitarian mindset solely for the sake of the so-called "glory of the Mejiro family."

However, in Gao Feng's opinion, it's easier to talk about McQueen, who has more talent, but Aldan and Ryan have not even won a single G1-level game so far, which is unimaginable for their strength.

Especially Megumi Ardan, due to the impact of her fragile legs, as the oldest runner among the three, only has one OP-level championship in her hands...

Gao Feng knew, of course, how much resentment and pain was hidden behind Aldan's seemingly gentle and elegant smile, and how much he longed to truly prove himself on the field.

After Aldan miraculously recovered her legs completely, and even her original fragile leg condition disappeared without a trace, Gao Feng was naturally happy for his younger sister in secret.

However, another piece of bad news followed: Mejiro Altan has been in the race for three years now, which is considered to be the end of her Open Race career for a racehorse.

Most of the runners who debuted with Aldan in his childhood, such as Oguri Hat, Yae Musou, Captain Tsubasa, and Sakura Chiyo, have already retired. Even though Aldan is currently supported by the excitement of his physical recovery, he cannot change the fact that his prime is about to decline.

In addition to today's Takarazuka Memorial, this can be considered the last G1 match of the first half of the year. If you miss it, you will have to wait until October to start G1 matches suitable for Aldan.

Can Aldan really afford to wait more than four months?

So... in Gao Feng's view, even though the other sisters were very optimistic about Aldan's condition, this Takarazuka memorial might actually be her last chance.

As a racehorse girl, Mejiro Takamori knows that teaming up with her sisters to snipe a runner is not a glorious thing to do, but it is at least something that can be justified.

More importantly, the real tragedy of Uma Musume Girls is that despite having enough strength, they can't even have a single chance to shine.

For Gao Feng, who has been retired for several years now, the most important thing has long since shifted from the satisfaction of victory to the importance of family, and she also believes that her younger sisters will value their families just as much.

"They'll understand once they keep running..."

Gao Feng reached out and gently grasped Guangming's hand, his eyes fixed on the figure in the arena who had successfully surpassed Stardust Illusion, and began to mutter to himself:

"When victory and the regrets of family are weighed on the scales... both Ryan and McQueen will make the right choice."

"I believe they will understand that family is more important than winning or losing."

To be honest, writing has been quite difficult lately, and the update frequency hasn't been stable.

The main problem stems from this Takarazuka memorial; it seems to be trying to express too much.

I wanted to write about the noblewoman and the golden ship, the Mejiro sisters and the eldest sister Takamine, Hayako and the tea house, and everyone's interactions with the protagonist. So I put together this competition, which might be a bit bloated.

I originally planned to finish writing about the competition before starting this chapter, but I didn't feel comfortable writing this chapter, so I'll just talk about it here.

Regarding the character Mejiro Mine, he shouldn't be portrayed this way normally, since he already has his own storyline in the game as a reference.

The following is the author's personal idea and the content they wanted to express; could it be considered a secondary creation?

As the eldest sister of the Meguro family, Takamatsu's mentality changed after retiring, just like in the main text.

For Uma Musume, who has taken on the responsibility of caring for her younger sister, the stability of the family will begin to be considered more important than anything else.

Of course, I know that in the eyes of most readers, inducing cooperation in this way is similar to cheating or unfair competition.

However, this is also based on the author's understanding of real horses... well, capriciously?

The main problem was that during this period, the Mejiro family frequently had two or more of their own members participate in the same match. Examples include Aldan and Ryan, McQueen and Ryan, Ryan and Zenshin, and so on.

I created this work because I wanted to provide a reasonable explanation for this point.

After all, in the racetrack, whether it's blocking, bumping, or even the multi-person riding that we talk about now, these are all reasonable but not so pleasant behaviors. In the world of Uma Musume, I've tried to justify them as a result of a certain purpose, so I've written them as something that people are so persistent in doing.

Personally, I know that a competent author shouldn't include such extra explanations or settings, as this often indicates that their ability to clearly convey these points within the main text is insufficient.

However, there's not much else I can do. I can clearly feel the limitations of my abilities when I'm writing, so this is the only way I can convey my thoughts.

After all, I personally believe that communication between the author and the reader is very important.

Especially for a new author, there's often a lack of experience, biased understanding, or insufficient expression skills. This can lead to situations where the writer is unaware of their own problems while writing.

So if you don't like it, you can leave a message here to criticize the author. At least that will help me understand where I went wrong. Thank you so much!

Chapter 315 FBI WAINNING!!! 911!!!

They were incredibly fast!

Aldan, slightly out of breath, kept adjusting his pace as he raced up the straight track.

The pace of the game, which had already been skewed by the Great Escape, was accelerated again by the Stardust Illusion and Megumi Ryan ahead, making the physical exertion even more severe than in other games he had participated in.

It's been too long since I've participated in a formal competition of this level, so my body has become quite stiff...

Aldan could clearly feel the pressure exerted on him by the domains that Mubai Ryan and Stardust Illusion had created ahead, coupled with the fact that the track was already an uphill run that demanded even more from his body.

The physical exertion was very uncomfortable. Although it was the best place to run, every step felt like sinking into mud. My legs felt heavy and sluggish, and I couldn't exert my full speed at all.

She was well aware that even if she could activate the power of her domain to resist the current influence, the problem was that Aldan didn't have the same confidence as Ryan, and that activating her domain early on wouldn't affect the rest of the game.

Therefore, we must find other ways to deal with the current situation, or at least get out of the predicament of being affected by two fields at the same time.

Looking at Megumi McQueen running beside him, he was also affected, unable to increase his speed to catch up with the two ahead...

No...that's not right!

From the very beginning, someone has been interfering with my state!

The Stardust Illusion and the domain that Megumi Ryan unleashed at this moment certainly had a very strong disruptive effect on runners who had not yet used the domain.

But just by looking at their fierce confrontation, it's clear that the power of the two domains was largely neutralized by their collision, so it wouldn't have such a serious impact on them.

The demonic energy clinging to him, which he couldn't completely dispel even by unleashing his fighting spirit, was the source of his and McQueen's interference, but its origin wasn't the stardust illusion ahead or Ryan...

The source of this strange, demonic power lies elsewhere!

----------

Meanwhile, in the stands, a group of female horse racers who had come together were gathered together, intently watching the Takarazuka Memorial, a match that could be considered the pinnacle of competition.

Forest Treasure Cave turned its gaze to the visibly agitated Meguro Ardan and said with a smile:

"These two Megumi must be very confused right now, right? This terrifying demonic energy, whose source is hard to detect and which has already reached the domain level, is draining them of their very essence and squeezing every last drop of strength from their bodies."

"Senior Baoxue, why did this happen? Could it be that Stardust Illusion, while unleashing her domain, can still unleash this level of demonic power?"

Watching the intense battle unfold on the field, the stylishly dressed hottie standing next to Baoxue, Toyo Jotun, found it hard to comprehend the current situation.

For a runner like her who hadn't yet explored her niche, the intensity of the battle at the Takarazuka Memorial was far beyond Jordan's comprehension. Therefore, she was utterly astonished by the complex situation that had arisen on the field.

Baoxue grinned, his eyes revealing a hint of nostalgia and longing:

"Horse girls with demonic talents are not uncommon in races of the Takarazuka Kinen level. They will use various methods to erode the bodies of other runners, thus causing a series of interferences."
