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

The pace of the Manchester City players is quickening; is it finally here?! This final showdown is about to begin! Who will emerge victorious?!

it's me!

The one who will win, of course, is me, Stardust Illusion!!!

(The position is almost here... This is the starting point of my last chance, the moment when the counterattack begins!)

"call……"

With a final gasp, Stardust Illusion regulated its breathing and stabilized its state.

Even though she didn't have much knowledge of the basics, she could understand that the pace of this race was chaotic from the very beginning. Most of the female racehorses had already fully unleashed their power before the final stages, giving their all to secure a better position.

This means that the upcoming showdown won't be as exciting—especially since the track for this race includes a final boss.

That's the super uphill section that leads to the final straightaway!

It's almost certain that everyone will be in a sorry state by the end, and this 2200m race will become a test of endurance... no, a test of resilience!

Therefore, Stardust Illusion also understood something.

That is the most important decisive factor next, the final showdown on the bend.

All the racehorse girls have to choose how to enter the final bend more perfectly, using this 300m track to tear through all obstacles and reach the forefront.

In any case, as long as they can reach that place, it means they have an absolute advantage in the upcoming death hill showdown, and it can almost be said that it will determine the order of the champion in advance!

(This is the final battle...)

Beside her, Megumi McQueen was also breathing heavily. She, who was originally extremely confident in her endurance, was showing such a disheveled state for the first time on a 2200m track.

An endurance runner like her is not good at maintaining a long run; she will always slow down before the end to find her familiar final pace.

At this moment, she had also made preparations in advance and gradually fell behind the stardust illusion.

About four horse lengths ahead, there was Alice, who showed no signs of fatigue and was even becoming more and more excited in his sight.

The escape in this race can be described as a complete failure. The time he led the entire race was less than 30 seconds, which means that the [Stardust Illusion], which could have been his trump card, was completely sealed away.

but……

(The outcome will depend on these next 800 meters—)

Everyone understands this principle: the upcoming matches will be an even bloodier and more brutal battlefield than before.

At this point in the competition, there is no longer any room for opportunism.

This will be a complete head-to-head battle between 10 runners.

Stardust Illusion's gaze suddenly sharpened as she stared intently at Alice, her pale lips pressed tightly together.

With their ace sealed away, can they still win?

The opponent is not just Elisako in front of him; there's also the increasingly surging dark aura behind him, and the growing sound of the waves in his ears...

Every runner is accumulating strength in their own way, and there are even areas that have not yet been activated.

But at this moment, she had only one answer in her heart.

If you ask whether we'll win, then of course...

We will win!

No one has crossed the finish line yet, so why shouldn't I think I'll win?

A training intensity several times that of other racehorses, a single-minded dedication to running, an undefeated promise made with her and others, and countless runners she has defeated—

Her feet no longer belonged to her alone.

The endless, limitless running is the ultimate destination of the Stardust Illusion.

Despite being plagued by so many negative factors, and despite having multiple obviously stronger competitors, they still managed to overcome the challenges.

She absolutely can, very easily!

We can cross this wall of ignorance called impossibility!

(It's just ahead, if only I could get there...)

Logically speaking, there's no way to compete with these runners, especially with Manchester City and Golden Boat poised and ready to go.

However, Stardust Illusion has no intention of giving up.

If common sense cannot achieve it, then let's go beyond common sense.

That is the only one that exists among countless possibilities.

That was a miracle that shattered the absolute!

In her crimson eyes, a burning fighting spirit spun rapidly, transforming into a blizzard that blanketed the inner world of Stardust Illusion.

Her body suddenly leaned forward, her entire center of gravity shifting forward. Stardust Illusion's running posture was almost touching the grass in front of her, an exaggerated posture unique to her monster lineage.

With the perfect coordination of sprint speed, core strength, and centripetal force, the monstrous predatory posture has now revealed its fangs once again.

At the third bend, Stardust Illusion unleashed its longest-held and most trusted trump card!

----------

Only a little over a minute has passed since the start of the match.

This 2200m track may seem long to the average person, but it's nothing compared to the racehorses running at full speed.

Even though the strange rhythm at the beginning of the game caused someone to be constantly unleashing their strongest performance throughout the match, this relay-like pressure made the contestants misjudge the passage of time.

Every second, every step forward brought a sense of physical exhaustion. Anxiety and helplessness filled everyone's minds, turning into an inescapable prison that made every second feel like an eternity.

However, for the spectators outside the stadium, this match was full of twists and turns and climaxes, with hardly a blink of an eye.

The roaring shouts and cheers, mingled with the heat of the moment the athletes burst through the gates, never ceased. Now, as the competition neared its end, the roar grew even louder, pushing the entire event to its fever pitch.

[700m remaining! 700m left! The entire race has finally reached its most exciting final moment, and the final showdown and battle are about to begin!]

[The runner in first place is still Airi Soko. Having accelerated all the way here, Airi Soko shows no signs of fatigue. Although her pace has slowed slightly, she still maintains a distance of four horse lengths!]

[The racehorses behind are starting to stir! The Manchester City and Golden Boat riders are accelerating! Can they catch up?! Are the other riders about to push harder?!]

Who will be the final winner of this match? Will Alice be able to maintain her advantage until the end? Or will one of the other challengers succeed in defeating her...?

The host, holding the microphone in one hand, shouted into the studio with his eyes fixed on the competition.

However, the figure that suddenly appeared drew everyone's attention before she could even finish introducing the match.

[It's...it's Stardust Illusion!? She can actually unleash such a powerful final kick?! This...this—!]

No! No one could have imagined this! This beast-like posture, this rapidly moving figure! Stardust Illusion has begun to accelerate!!!

It's like Oguri Hat has returned to this arena! The monster has been awakened!!!

It's here! ...

As she raced at the front of the track, Alice clenched her teeth and suppressed her excited shouts.

The strain from finishing the race also affects her; heavy breathing and limb spasms are the cries of agony this runner is currently enduring.

My parched throat was almost overflowing with blood, and the needle-like pain in my lungs after struggling to breathe made me feel like my internal organs were about to explode.

However, the sudden cold touch from behind only fueled Alice's inner fire, causing her to suppress all the pain deep within her heart.

She was certain that what was erupting behind her at this moment was none other than Stardust Illusion!

This familiar feeling is absolutely true; Stardust Illusion has revealed its last trump card.

It was during that Satsuki Sho that she and the Emperor of the East Sea simultaneously transcended the realm of ordinary beings, summoning the legendary method of running with fantasy particles!

(That's right! Let's transcend common sense and rules here, and bring infinite possibilities to the arena!!!)

The monster's figure revived, and in that instant, six blood-red eyes lit up on the towering ice pillar in the icy wilderness.

Stardust Illusion no longer had any doubts about how to achieve victory.

All she had left to do was unleash her full power.

(There's no need for any more hesitation. If this is a necessary step to seize brilliance, then this is my only answer—)

The state of being I have attained is the vision reflected in my heart!

The moment it took a step, Stardust Illusion couldn't help but squint, looking at the blazing white light ahead.

The only one who responded to her was the runner who raced through the snow and ice, bringing hope to countless trainers!

[Powerful Racehorse Girl]

[Circular Arc Artist]

Then comes what's happening now:

[Skill 777, activated.]

Clear Mind, a mind as clear as a mirror and as still as water!

A blue storm instantly ignited in the girl's crimson right eye, and her burning emotions surged forth.

With a sudden, forceful stomp, the grass and mud beneath the horseshoes sprayed up.

The Stardust Illusion's face was now completely distorted by its ferocity, and its entire body was emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain.

If this continues, there will definitely be irreversible consequences—the body's warnings are accurately transmitted to the brain, but the Stardust Illusion cannot generate even a single distracting thought.

She had no other choice but to keep moving forward once she was on this field.

If we can't unleash our power here, there's absolutely no chance of winning.

Body!

If you are the body of my stardust illusion, then I command you to persevere!

The path to victory will be paved by your own feet.

Engage in the final battle with all the runners in this race.

This is a monster rampage called Miracle, presented to all opponents and to all viewers who watched this match!

On the field named Takarazuka Memorial, a sudden gust of wind howled from behind all the competitors.

Even though everyone was speeding at nearly 70 km/h, the wind was blowing from behind.
