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

"Wait, there's something else I'd like to talk to you about."

Meguro Mineki immediately spoke up, calling out to the Stardust Illusion that was trying to leave:

"Regarding the expedition to France—I heard your trainer is recruiting a companion? And if the companion is a racehorse girl, training and race arrangements can be made with the same treatment?"

"That's true..."

Stardust Illusion nodded, even though it had only been two days since Scarlet Toyama had told him about it.

The decision about whether to go or not was made early the next morning, since spending three months in France was a better option from any perspective.

However, the issue of accompanying persons has not yet been decided, so recently many people have come to confirm this information with me, and quite a few familiar people have also expressed their desire to take up an accompanying person's place.

For example, there's Empress (her leg is almost healed), Rice Bath (she wants to accompany her brother!), East Merchant Revolution (she wants to witness the power of foreign racehorse girls), Twin Turbo (she wants to go to the French Tower and go all out!), etc...

Even the Manchester tea house came to see her last night. At that time, a lot of supernatural phenomena occurred, and she was almost scared to death by the stardust illusion.

Speaking of the Manchester tea house, she also helped bring up the latest news about Alice.

Although Suzuko retired again after the match and returned to her position as assistant trainer for the Draco team, she is currently undergoing treatment due to a recurrence of tendinitis in both legs.

Therefore, it was impossible to bring her along on this trip to France. Otherwise, Stardust Illusion would have preferred to go with Hayate, since she could provide data support in training, and her effectiveness was second only to Toyama Crimson.

"How about we consider our McQueen? — Look at McQueen, he's been helping you a lot, hasn't he? Not only does he provide training facilities for the Meguro family, but I've also heard he often treats you to meals..."

"Ah, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to seek repayment... but this also proves that McQueen is a very good girl, right? Taking her along won't be a bad deal, and our Mejiro family will provide as much support as possible—"

Meguro Mineki suddenly started talking non-stop, recommending Meguro McQueen as a companion horse girl.

Seeing her suddenly fervent expression, Stardust Illusion couldn't help but recall the old lady Megumi whom he had met before...

Although the two looked completely different, their expressions at this moment were strangely similar, like eager salespeople.

Actually, Megumi Takamine had no choice. She had talked to McQueen several times in the past two days about the Stardust Illusion, and she could see that her younger sister's cheeks would turn red whenever she talked about him, which clearly showed that she was really interested.

However, she always felt that she hadn't even managed to pose a threat to the Stardust Illusion this time, and was not worthy of her at all, so she hesitated and dared not take any further steps.

Even regarding the quota, McQueen didn't dare to discuss it with Stardust Illusion. He simply buried himself in training every day, hoping to stand proudly before her the next time they met.

That idea is so naive—Stardust Illusion, this racehorse girl, is clearly destined to be a great runner. Every race she goes on could be a miracle, adding to her chances of reaching the top.

If we don't hurry up and conquer this piece of wood now, who knows what will happen in three months?

If even the Arc de Triomphe can create a miracle, by the time Stardust Illusion returns home, "Hall of Fame" might not even be enough to describe her achievement—wouldn't that be even worse?!

Putting aside her role as the family head, Megumi Takamine was more able to empathize with her sister's concerns for McQueen. She had, of course, considered having the family find a way to send McQueen to France as well.

The problem is, even if you want to send it, the other side has to be willing to accept it, right? For some reason, that noble family actually rejected all other applications this year, clearly only accepting Stardust Illusion.

Gao Feng had heard from McQueen that there was a little princess named Zhuo Fu over there, and perhaps the noble family was creating an opportunity for her disciple!

“Um…” Stardust Illusion weakly raised its hand.

"And McQueen understands your personality very well, right? He can take care of... what?"

Gao Feng's enthusiastic introduction came to an abrupt end, and she immediately looked at the Stardust Illusion with expectant eyes:

"Is it decided? To have McQueen with you...!"

"The selection has indeed been decided, but it's not McQueen."

Stardust Illusion scratched his head, took out the slightly crumpled application form from his pocket, and showed it to Megumi no Mine:

In the applicant's section, a name had already been hastily signed:

【Divine Eagle】.

Chapter 336: Anyone who can resist reading this chapter for 30 seconds is a god.

night.

The neon monsters are invading France!

The aloof overlord will open a new battlefield!

[The supreme genius, Stardust Illusion, will soon embark on its journey!]

[Unveiling the Growth Path of the Second Generation of Little Chestnut Hat!]

Because they needed to adjust to the time difference after arriving in France, Stardust Illusion hadn't been doing much extra training these past few days. Today, they went back to their dorm early to pass the time by flipping through magazines.

As news of her trip to France for a local event and her confirmed attendance at the Arc de Triomphe has been circulating, major media outlets are vying to report on it.

Some media outlets have compiled all of her wins this year and conducted data analysis to demonstrate what kind of results she can achieve at the Arc de Triomphe.

Some, however, simply went so far as to exaggerate and boast, almost to the point of claiming that Stardust Illusion was the greatest racehorse girl of all time.

Others took a different approach, starting their reports with Stardust Illusion's life before she became a racehorse girl—who knows where all those childhood friends she didn't even recognize came from in the reports.

In short, the recent news about the Stardust Illusion has become a hot topic, to the point that it's considered a dereliction of duty for news media not to report on it.

Even if you haven't interviewed anyone, if you grit your teeth and write a short piece titled "Stardust Illusion and the Harem's Anecdotes," you'll still have a huge following of fans who will support you—it's practically fanatical.

Stardust Illusion only needed a quick glance to discover that these people couldn't wait to declare her the champion of the Arc de Triomphe ahead of schedule.

Even worse, some have started writing papers claiming that "Stardust has ten advantages, while France has ten disadvantages," which is utterly absurd...

Standing by the window, gazing at the pitch-black sky, Stardust Illusion sighed silently:

"Tomorrow... I'm going to France."

Although Stardust Illusion believed he was the best choice during the previous discussions, he could only feel the reluctance in his heart as he was about to leave.

Every drop of sweat shed in this academy.

A senior racehorse girl who is always enthusiastic in giving guidance and even practicing with you.

My friends who often hang out with me during my rest time.

They would even occasionally sneak into the training ground to peek at their supporters.

The cafeteria lady who secretly adds extra food for herself...

She has been living in this academy for seven months in the blink of an eye, which means she has been a racehorse girl for more than half a year.

Stardust Illusion understood that what he had gained during this period was far more than just the glory of winning the competition.

Rivals, trainers, friends, opponents... and gradually, one's own heart begins to emerge.

Every harvest here is precious, a unique treasure for her as a racehorse girl.

Every race on the track is a journey of self-reflection for Stardust Illusion.

What exactly are we running for, and has that idea changed at all?

The stronger Stardust Illusion becomes, the more it needs to confirm what its true goal is.

Although she was still unsure how to advance to the next level, Stardust Illusion was certain that she was on the right path.

Therefore, we must continue to persevere.

Defeat all the powerful enemies who stand in your way and ascend to the unique peak.

Ota Tendo, First Red Treasure, White Album, Green Bamboo Memories, East Merchant Reform, Narita Shirohito, East Sea Emperor, Manchester Tea House, Alice Soko... and even herself.

Countless faces of former failed racehorse girls flashed through my mind.

The unwillingness to accept defeat and the fighting spirit that everyone, including herself, showed after their failures have become the driving force for her to continue moving forward.

In addition, there are promises made to his sister, the Emperor of the East Sea, his trainers, and even Alice...

Huh?

Without realizing it, how did I end up carrying so much on my shoulders?

Stardust Illusion scratched his head, seemingly not feeling much pressure, displaying a rather nonchalant attitude towards having too much debt.

After all, no matter how much or how little she carries, what she has to do will never change.

Run, and then surpass.

With these two legs, I can hold the view ahead in my own hands!

"call……"

Stardust Illusion exhaled again, drew the window shut, and shut out the hot summer night air.

Sitting back on the edge of the bed, enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner, Stardust Illusion's somewhat depressed mood eased.

Three months...

It shouldn't be too long, as long as the Arc de Triomphe is completed in October, we can come back.

Then we'll be able to meet up with our friends again and compete against each other at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation, the Japan Cup, and the Arima Kinen.

"Your Majesty, I hope to see a completely new you then."

"—Of course! Stardust, you just focus on getting stronger over there, and don't let your guard down!"

With a bang, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open, and the Emperor of the East Sea poked his head in from outside:

"Yo! Stardust!"

The girl waved with a bright smile and walked straight into the two's dormitory.

Although her right leg is still in a cast, her brisk gait suggests that her previous serious injury has almost completely healed.

"Why are you back now? If you were going to be discharged, you wouldn't have to be back until tonight, would you?"

Stardust Illusion wasn't too surprised to see the Emperor sit down next to her; she knew the effects of the panacea better than anyone.

Therefore, even if the emperor's injuries were that severe at the time, it was to be expected that he would recover so quickly now.

"Haha, because the emperor has escaped!"

The Emperor of the East Sea tilted his head, settled himself against the stardust illusion, and spoke casually, as if he were simply saying that he had gone out for a meal:

“After all, Stardust is going to France tomorrow, right? If I’m still in the hospital, I won’t even be able to see you off.”

"That won't do. The Emperor and Stardust are the most important nemesis. How can we not meet again at such an important moment?"

Stardust Illusion looked at the emperor, who was resting his head on her shoulder and gazing at her profile, and quietly swallowed.

She vividly remembered how furious the young girl had been yesterday when she refused the emperor's request to accompany her and told him she was going to France with the Divine Eagle. So she quickly began to explain:
