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

This absolute pinnacle of French female horse racing is the result of her own strength, defeating all her opponents step by step, and proving herself to be the strongest of her generation at the Arc de Triomphe.

More importantly, after becoming the strongest, the noble family did not pursue the enjoyment that comes with status, but instead devoted themselves wholeheartedly to building the world of French horse racing girls.

Not only did she secure many preferential treatments and resources for her country because of her status, but she also served at the French Academy, where she worked with the government to carefully teach the next generation of runners and cultivate countless powerful racehorse girls.

It can be said that in the world of French horse racing today, half of the current racers have benefited from the influence of powerful families, and the other half have also enjoyed the benefits brought by powerful families to varying degrees.

Therefore, under these circumstances, everyone is willing to accept the one-man rule of this "tyrant" and regard him from the bottom of their hearts as the absolute king of the country's horse racing world.

This champion and her disciple, Zoff, have repeatedly stated publicly that Neon Stardust Illusion is a very promising player, even comparable to Zoff herself.

Of course, anyone who has watched Zhuo Fu's matches knows that this is probably just verbal praise from the two of them, and how much of it is genuine is still unknown.

In any case, this was a gesture of goodwill from the noble family and Zhuo Fu towards her.

Therefore, most of the Stardust Illusion supporters here today are doing so out of the mentality of "since the elite support it, we will support it too," which has propelled Stardust Illusion, a runner who is making his first appearance in France, to the second most popular position.

It can be said that they did everything they could to be kind and considerate, giving her plenty of face.

And today, that stardust illusion actually dared to say such things?

It is true that everyone acknowledges her impressive ability to achieve such a large margin in G2, a feat that would be considered among the top runners in her own country. However, this does not mean that they should forgive her.

Even the tyrant was the first to show her goodwill, but this girl immediately launched a precise etiquette attack upon arrival, she's simply lawless.

To the audience, this was a declaration of war against the noble families, and even more so, a declaration of war against the great France!

Angry and even aggressive remarks began to emerge from the stands.

The media reporters who were specifically assigned to a certain area also noticed this element of the topic.

"What did your newspaper say?"

"This is going to be tonight's headline. What about you guys?"

"There can only be one sun in the sky, and in my heart there will always be only the sun of our noble family—how can I stand by and watch this happen? Report it, it must be reported!"

The group exchanged glances, their thoughts unspoken:

Today, we'll report this matter severely and publish everything that Stardust Illusion said, so everyone can see her arrogance.

----------

"The only king... huh? Stardust Illusion has certainly said something remarkable."

The nobleman looked at the Paris Daily in his hand, resting his cheek on his hand and smiling.

Unlike these ignorant masses who were outraged by the Stardust Illusion's offense, the Noble Clan found the declaration merely amusing.

During the exchange and learning sessions in the first half of the year, she was certain that Stardust Mirage was definitely a world-class racehorse girl. As long as there were no unexpected events and she trained and improved properly, it was possible that her strength would be no less than hers in the future.

She had also considered bringing Stardust Illusion directly under her control, forming a new generation of twin stars with Zhuo Fu, and even bringing the two of them together was not out of the question.

After all, her foolish apprentice could tell at a glance that she was unlikely to have forgotten the Stardust Illusion the moment it erupted during the simulation match.

Unfortunately, it seems that someone from Stardust Illusion arrived even earlier than Zofu and made a promise to have a final showdown with her at the Neon Arena.

Noble families who were once active runners certainly understand that this kind of nemesis feeling for racehorse girls is difficult to influence with other external factors. Even if you forcefully interfere, it will only prevent her from being guided by destiny to the path of the strong.

Just like the nemesis in the eyes of Stardust Illusion, it is undoubtedly the girl called the East Sea Emperor, and she herself is the nemesis that Zhuo Fu regards as a nemesis - defeating their nemesis will be the best opportunity for them to climb to a new peak.

Therefore, the noble families eventually abandoned this idea and instead provided support and assistance to the Stardust Illusion through various means.

However, what the noble family did not expect was that after only a few months, the once somewhat naive young girl had actually dared to call herself a queen in public.

[The arrogant monster from the Far East wins the Marawit Grand Prix]

Looking at the seemingly casual headline, the nobleman casually tossed the newspaper aside; the headlines of the other newspapers and magazines on the table were much the same.

The first version of the huge promotional poster used only one image: next to the Stardust Illusion with its finger raised high, her words were displayed in bold red font:

"There can only be one king, and that is me... this stardust illusion!"

The report's stance was even more explicit, with everyone criticizing Stardust Illusion's words as far too frivolous and showing no respect whatsoever for their nation's legendary horse racing family.

Interestingly, almost no media outlets mentioned the specific results of this match.

What was clearly a resounding victory of 13 horse lengths was simply described by these people as "winning a G2-level race".

To uninformed readers, the Stardust Illusion mentioned here might seem like a madman who got carried away after just winning against G2.

The man from the prominent family narrowed his eyes, then picked up the phone on the table and dialed:

"The college should remain neutral and not interfere with domestic media coverage—not even at Zhuo Fu's request."

“Yes… I told Zhuo Fu that I was going abroad during this time, and that if there were any difficult things, she could just push them onto me and let her communicate with me directly by phone.”

"And there's one more thing. The Divine Eagle should be coming to see you in the next couple of days."

"Yes, it's that same eagle from back then. Just give her the schedule I've prepared..."

After finishing his call with the head of the secretariat, Wang Zu hung up the phone and looked out the window, a look of anticipation on his face.

"Want to embark on the path to kingship in our France? Stardust Illusion... then let me give you a boost."

"This throne, which symbolizes the strongest, has been vacant for far too long. Who between you and Zofu will become the strongest of the new generation?"

"Let's wait and see."

Meanwhile, in Japan...

JRA External Relations Department, outside the Minister's office.

Lin Yongyi, the person in charge of Zhongjing Racecourse, was carrying a large stack of documents and preparing to knock on the door.

He came here today mainly to promote some foreign racehorse girls for the Chukyo Racecourse, using the high prize money to attract foreign racers to participate.

On the one hand, in order to upgrade to a central racetrack, a certain number of foreign racehorse girls need to be introduced. On the other hand, injecting fresh blood into the races can also increase the popularity and support of the racetrack.

"Hahahaha—I knew it would work!!!"

Just as Lin Yongyi, sporting a beer belly, reached out to push open the door, a burst of wild laughter suddenly rang out from inside. The voice, though aged, carried a hint of spirit, startling Lin Yongyi.

"I told you long ago, Stardust Illusion is a born world-class runner!"

"If we had sent her abroad earlier, she might have been able to compete for the European triple crown... But it's not too late now. Sending her abroad this year was the best decision we ever made!"

Stardust illusion?

Lin Yong was taken aback, not expecting to hear her name here.

Six months ago, Stardust Illusion was just starting out under my tutelage. At that time, she was completely overshadowed by the East Sea Emperor and was quite unremarkable.

However, she sensed in advance that Stardust Illusion might have potential beyond what the public could imagine, and even reached a cooperation agreement with her to promote the reputation of the Zhongjing Racecourse.

...As a result, at the press conference, her public challenge to the Emperor of the East Sea caused Lin Yong to back down and abandon the idea of ​​cooperation.

(This is probably the worst decision I've ever made in my life...)

Thinking of that figure who broke the Takarazuka Memorial record with a classic year schedule, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth. If the cooperation had really succeeded back then, why would he have needed to come to JRA to beg and plead?

"Hey!"

Oh well, there's no changing what's past.

With a sigh, Lin Yong knocked on the door, then pushed it open and went inside.

"Hello, this is Lin Yongyi, the man I just spoke to on the phone. I need your signature on some documents."

The department head inside the door looked up and, without caring who the person who came in was, couldn't help but share his joy, waving to the man who entered: "Come, come—come and take a look at this, it's a growth chart from our JRA official horse racing girl introduction site."

"Huh? Oh, oh oh."

Lin Yong was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what had happened, he still obediently leaned closer to look at the computer screen.

"This is?!"

Lin Yong turned his head and was shocked the moment the picture came into view.

If she were to describe it, it would be that starting from 3 PM yesterday, the line representing overseas user views skyrocketed upwards.

Looking closer at the detailed data, the number was astonishing: "Five million overseas views? And all of them are directed at Stardust Illusion alone...?"

Since his previous attempt to collaborate with Stardust Illusion had been rejected, and the racetrack upgrade was finally showing some progress, he hadn't been paying much attention to news about the racehorse girl lately.

But if there's a sudden surge in overseas browsing, could it be because...?

"Has the Stardust Illusion already gone on its expedition?"

"Ah, yesterday I participated in a G2 Grand Prize race in France and won by a full 13 horse lengths. You could say I really made a splash, which is why all those foreign horse racing fans came to us to check Stardust Illusion's data."

Minister Ito looked triumphant and quite proud of the achievement. With a smile, she continued, "Don't underestimate the impact of this number of views. It can not only increase the level of attention the entire JRA receives worldwide, but also have a certain influence on other sections."

"Most importantly, Stardust Mirage will continue to compete until the Arc de Triomphe this year. According to the trainer, she will participate in at least four G1-level events... Normally, JRA would not agree to such a high frequency of competitions, but Stardust Mirage's perfect performance in the first half of this year has proven to us that her battle experience level is indeed trustworthy."

"Next, I plan to try to secure the online streaming rights for Stardust Illusion's subsequent matches, so that her supporters in China can have the most convenient first-hand live streaming experience."

"If she could really win all the way like she did in China, how popular would she become... tsk tsk tsk, I can't even imagine!"

Minister Ito is over sixty years old this year. His face is full of wrinkles and his hair is all white, but he looks particularly energetic at this moment.

After a while, he seemed to remember something again. Ignoring Lin Yongyi beside him, he quickly picked up the phone and dialed directly: "Hello, this is Ito. Next, contact the top reporter of Tokyo Horse Girls Daily and get the overseas interview with Stardust Illusion done. Try to make sure it can be published before the next G1 race."

"Understood, Minister. I will arrange it right away and then submit the written plan to you."

The voice on the other end of the phone was incredibly loud.

"By the way, find out in detail what Stardust Illusion and her trainer need. As long as it helps the Arc de Triomphe, we... well, we can support them at all costs! I'll coordinate with the other department heads of JRA to ensure everyone is on the same page. You don't need to worry about not being able to do it."

Lin Yongyi stood awkwardly to the side, still clutching the documents he had brought to sign.

Listening to the conversation just now, he roughly figured out what had happened: Stardust Illusion should have already gone to the French battlefield, and the first race, just like the previous Tokyo Mile race in China, had created a large gap, which increased the popularity of JRA, so the propaganda minister was so happy.

Think about it: when I was trying to get a racetrack upgrade done, I had to beg and plead with everyone I knew, and at most I could get a deputy minister in the JRA to help me out. But this public relations minister, whom I usually couldn't even get a chance to curry favor with, was so happy and excited about Stardust Illusion.

They even openly declared that the entire JRA would serve this racehorse girl, which was practically royalty.

It was only at this moment that Lin Yongyi truly realized the influence of the Stardust Illusion.

She is no longer just a simple runner-up for the Triple Crown or an unparalleled genius. Stardust Mirage is now the most sought-after racehorse girl in all of Japan and the darling of JRA!

"By the way, who are you again?" The old man hung up the phone and then noticed the conspicuous beer belly next to him, asking casually.

"Um, I'm from the Nakakyo Racecourse..."
