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

"Stardust Illusion, I have a question for you—will you be attending this year's Arc de Triomphe Awards?"

"I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to know if I could see you running again on this highest stage in France."

Xin Qiwu and Houtu, who were still chattering and arguing about who would win, happened to hear the question. They looked at each other and simultaneously pricked up their ears.

After all, as French racehorse girls, everyone knows how prestigious the Arc de Triomphe is, and every racehorse girl will consider whether to participate in this race.

For an opponent of Stardust Illusion's caliber, the sooner you confirm whether she will participate, the more advantageous it will be for you to decide the competition schedule.

"The Arc de Triomphe? Of course I'll attend—I've already made plans with someone."

Stardust Illusion didn't think too much about it and answered the question directly.

Upon hearing his words, Houtu and Xinqiwu both revealed bitter expressions. They looked at each other again, shook their heads, and walked helplessly toward the contestants' passage.

"As expected... Your target is that disciple of the prestigious family, Zhuo Fu, right?" Jin Gangwei revealed a knowing expression, and then asked again.

"Yes, she and I agreed to have a showdown at the Arc de Triomphe, and neither of us will lose before that competition."

Jin Gangwei hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then continued, "If that's really the case, then the opponent you need to pay attention to in that match might not just be Zhuo Fu alone."

"Oh? There are more experts?"

Upon hearing this, the Stardust Illusion's ears twitched, and its eyes lit up. It quickly continued to ask:

"Who is it? Can you tell me?"

"That's a racehorse I heard about from a friend in England. Coincidentally, like you, she has only lost her debut race so far."

"It's not just her debut race; this classic racehorse girl has already won all 7 of her races, and it seems that many of them are G1-level victories—doesn't that sound very similar to your current record?"

“Grandpa Alan knows the specifics better. If you need the information, I’ll have him contact his contacts to compile it for you.”

With a serious expression, Jin Gangwei recounted all the information he had noted down.

After the Stardust Illusion had already served as Vajra's wish, using her as an obstacle to becoming stronger, it was overcome.

Jin Gangwei already regarded this girl who was focused on running as the successor to his glory, and naturally wanted her to successfully reach the peak, so that he could at least make her more gratified.

In this regard, Jin Gangwei, who is already facing retirement, also wants to help her and make up for what Grandpa Alan had done, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

"I see, she's a strong woman from England... And what's her name?"

Although Vajra Might's description was somewhat vague, Stardust Illusion's interest was greatly piqued just by hearing about his battle record.

If there were more worthy opponents in that Arc de Triomphe race, she would naturally be even more excited; this is Stardust Illusion's instinct as a racehorse girl.

"Star of the Sea City, her name is Star of the Sea City."

"You must be careful of her, because according to those who have raced against her, it's not even certain whether she's a racehorse racer—"

"Then what is she, a Super Saiyan?"

Seeing Vajra's serious expression, Stardust Illusion couldn't help but make a joke.

"Maybe he really is a Super Saiyan!"

"Haha, then I am the Cosmic Yoja Dragon~!"

Chapter 364 Meeting Zhuo Fu's Parents?!

In any case, the Rothschild Grand Prix has officially come to an end.

This G1-level high-reward tournament, which was once dominated by King Kong Wei for three whole years, has now welcomed a new winner.

With the help of King Kong and her trainer, the entire city of Deauville quickly accepted this generational change setting.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hikari Toyama also finalized several endorsement deals.

Following this match, thanks to the combined efforts of King Kong and trainer Alan Wertheimer, Stardust Illusion's reputation throughout France improved significantly.

At least, those viewers who were initially provoked to have a confrontational and mindless hostility towards the Stardust illusion have been largely convinced.

But that's a story for another time.

The current Stardust Illusion is unaware of what this formidable adversary is about to do.

Even if Stardust Illusion knew, it wouldn't care too much.

After all, these things have almost nothing to do with the competition; the most important thing is to train hard and continue to improve.

Besides, this rare and extremely enjoyable match also brought Stardust Illusion a considerable reward, which he should share with someone.

She had originally intended to talk to Scarlet Toyama about these things, but she interrupted Stardust Illusion as soon as she heard the beginning of his speech.

This wasn't the first time that Scarlet Toyama had heard Stardust Illusion share its insights.

I hadn't noticed anything was wrong several times before, but then she would grab me and talk for ages.

The key point is that if Stardust Illusion is indeed describing his experiences and insights during the match in detail, then as a trainer, Scarlet Toyama would certainly be willing to listen carefully as a reference for arranging training matters in the future.

But when it comes to things like this, Stardust Illusion's ability to express herself can only be described as tragic!

Listening to her description of the scene when the race starts, those who know will recognize that she is talking about the start of the race, while those who don't might think that Stardust Illusion is talking about the Iron Beast Anti-Japanese War Chronicles!

So Hikari Toyama immediately gave her a suggestion:

When it comes to understanding the game, one should definitely choose the person from Uma Musume who truly understands Stardust Illusion.

And in France, her top priority was, of course, only one.

Thinking of this, Stardust Illusion took a deep breath and knocked on the familiar door in front of it:

"Zhuofu, Zhuofu, are you there?"

"Huh? Stardust?!"

Zhuo Fu's voice, filled with surprise and joy, immediately came from inside the door.

Immediately, a series of clattering sounds came from behind the door, and then the door was opened, and Zhuo Fu rushed out happily:

"What are you doing here?!"

Like a koala, Zofu clung directly to the Stardust Illusion, wearing only a large T-shirt.

Her fair and straight calves were exposed directly from under the hem of her clothes, and her pair of jade feet, bare of shoes and socks, were tightly wrapped around the waist of Stardust Illusion.

Since she didn't attend King Kong's retirement ceremony, Zoe Fu actually returned to Paris half a day earlier than Stardust Illusion, so she was just taking a short rest at home.

Zhuo Fu, who had been lazily lying on the sofa, reminiscing about the match she had witnessed that day, suddenly heard the voice of Stardust Illusion outside the door. She even thought she was hallucinating.

But when he opened the door, he saw the woman he had just been thinking about, and overjoyed, he immediately hugged her.

"I watched today's match, it was amazing! I'm getting more and more excited for the moment when you meet Stardust at the Arc de Triomphe...!"

Zhuo Fu remained in this position with an excited expression, letting the Stardust Illusion helplessly put its arm around her and walk into the house, while she kept talking about her feelings.

As Stardust Illusion answered the girl's question, it changed into slippers and went inside.

Both she, who had just finished the competition, and Zhuo Fu, who had watched the competition, had many insights they wanted to share with each other.

(As expected, Toyama was right; Takumi and I do have something in common.)

She thought to herself, then looked around the room and felt something was off:

"Hey, isn't Grandma Hyde here?"

"Grandma went on a trip. She said she wanted to relax with some of her sisters, so she went out."

Zhuo Fu explained why she was the only one at home.

A year ago, Grandma Hyde would never have had the time, energy, or money to take such a luxurious leisure activity as traveling.

However, thanks to the fact that Zhuo Fu was valued by a prominent family, she was not only provided with very generous subsidies for racehorse girls, but was also arranged to participate in several races, earning a lot of prize money to supplement her family's income.

So Zhuo Fu wholeheartedly agreed with Grandma Hyde's rare decision to put down her work and go out for a rest and some fun.

Suddenly she frowned, wrapped her arms around the neck of the Stardust Illusion, leaned back slightly, and carefully observed her expression:

"Why did you ask about Grandma as soon as you arrived, Stardust? You didn't come here to see me, but just to freeload a meal, did you?"

"--The pasta with carrot meat sauce is really delicious. If possible, it would be best to mooch a meal from you. Mooching a meal and coming to see you don't conflict with each other."

Stardust Illusion, having her little scheme seen through at a glance, could only admit it outright: "But since Grandma Hyde has gone out to play, what are you planning to eat tonight, Zofu?"

"Just grab something to eat. I was planning to order a pizza tonight."

Zhuo Fu rolled her eyes, knowing that this guy in front of her couldn't change his gluttonous habit, so she didn't criticize him too much.

Instead, she revealed a devilish smile and suddenly asked:

"And what about you? It's rare that no one's home. Stardust, do you want to eat first, or take a shower first, or perhaps..."

"Let's order first."

Stardust Illusion put Zhuo Fu down from his arms and patted her head.

"Waaah~!"

Zhuo Fu looked at the guy in front of her, her cheeks puffed up with anger, and could only glare fiercely at this blockhead.

Even though the strategy books I studied during my daily rest time all said that this flirting tactic was very effective, and that as long as the other person showed any sign of evasion, it meant it had worked, no matter how they responded.

Little did Zhuo Fu know that Stardust Illusion was completely unaware that he was flirting with her, and was still preoccupied with wanting to eat her lousy meal.

All you do is eat, eat, eat! You might as well eat yourself to death!

Zhuo Fu became increasingly angry, so she simply picked up her phone and ordered more than ten pizzas.

She even deliberately avoided Stardust Illusion's gaze and secretly noted that she wanted extra spicy food, preparing to give that blockhead a good beating later.

Actually, it's not entirely fair to blame Stardust Illusion for being completely unaware of this feeling.

Before today, she and Zhuo Fu had always interacted in this way, neither hiding their desires nor saying anything difficult to understand to each other.

It can be said that they are basically in a state of complete distrust towards each other, which is also the requirement put forward by Stardust Illusion.

After all, she's not good at socializing, so if she could skip those unnecessary "guess what I'm thinking" parts, she would be extremely grateful.

Before today, Zhuo Fu didn't think there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, she thought that Stardust Illusion was the same type as her, who wanted to focus on running, so the two of them were more compatible.

But today's match made Zhuo Fu suddenly realize that her feelings might not be entirely those of seeing her as a nemesis.

The brilliance that the Stardust Illusion now displays as it runs far exceeds Zofu's imagination.

Although she believed she was no weaker than her opponent, their vastly different playing styles meant that Zofu would almost never be able to perform like Stardust Illusion, who could turn the tide of the game in the final moments and become the only shining star on the field.
