I, the horse racing girl, really didn’t sprint!

"Don't push yourself too hard."

"Also, the Condors will be a tough opponent in this match, but Sakura Ranbu and Dramafever are much stronger than in previous years, so we can't ignore them."

Nansaka finished his words in one breath.

Although a combat meeting for the cherry blossom viewing had been held before, it was obvious that Barbatos had his own ideas and did not need him, the trainer, to come up with strategies.

For a talented horse girl like Barbatos, all a trainer needs to do is tell her what to pay attention to, and let her do the rest on her own.

Barbatos's grasp of timing is still commendable.

However, Minamisaka was still a little worried that Barbatos would feel too much pressure because he wanted to win the Sakura Festival so much, and that he would focus all his attention on Condor and ignore other former opponents who had made great progress.

"understood."

Barbatos waved his hand without looking back and walked into the contestant's backstage.

The people from Canopus also started heading towards the entrance of the auditorium. As members of the contestants' team, they were able to get internal tickets in the front row, so they didn't have to worry about not having good seats.

But on the way to the audience seats, he looked at the nebula sky with some surprise.

Some couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say something to Xiaoba just now?"

If we were to ask who in Canopus has the best relationship with Barbatos, it would undoubtedly be Nebula Sky. They are a couple and will probably choose to get married after both of them retire.

But, it was such an important competition, why didn’t Xingyun Tiankong say anything to cheer him on?

“Because I feel that cheering on LINE might be more useful.”

Nebula Sky said nonchalantly.

This is a kind of tacit understanding between her and Barbatos. I still remember that when Barbatos made his debut match, she cheered for Barbatos on her mobile phone.

This was the case in every subsequent competition.

I've also gotten into the habit of cheering Barbatos on with voice chat every time he plays.

……

"Come on!"

In the locker room, Barbatos, who had already changed into his winning suit, looked at the voice message sent by "Star-sama" on LINE, a smile appeared on his face, and he felt satisfied in his heart.

It’s just that people’s desires will grow.

Even Barbatos, a horse girl, is the same.

Before they started dating, Xingyi-lingqi used (IV) Liuyun Tiankong to cheer her up, and it was like this after they started dating, so wasn't the relationship in vain?

He quickly typed on his phone with one hand and sent a message back to Xingyun Tiankong.

“Should there be a prefix before “refueling”?”

After saying this, the corners of Barbatos' mouth rose slightly.

In fact, she was already very satisfied with Xingyun Tiankong's words of encouragement, but at this time she wanted to tease her girlfriend a little.

When she was about to reply with a question mark in the nebula sky, or ask herself what prefix to add, she told her that she should say "Husband, come on!"

Barbatos, who was completely clueless, had not yet figured out the offensive and defensive relationship between the two sides.

Half an hour after she sent the message.

The phone vibrated again, with a special vibration. Barbatos, who had been looking at the phone, received a voice message and reached out to open it.

"Honey, come on!"

The clear voice was filled with laughter, and the voice was mixed with the noisy sounds from the audience.

But the word "dear" seemed unusually clear, and the other sounds seemed to be automatically filtered out.

Hearing the words of encouragement, Barbatos seemed to be under a spell, and his movement holding the phone was frozen for about tens of seconds before he reacted.

I don't know why, but I always feel that she is still in a passive position after dating.

But it seems that none of this matters. Xingyun Tiankong, who said "dear", is probably still with his friends in Canopus. His little face must be flushed with anxiety.

It’s a pity that we can’t see the nebula sky now.

Silently long press the voice bar and save it.

Then I clicked on the voice again and listened to the voice over and over again. This gave me another reason not to lose.

Until there was a knock on the locker room door.

The staff had come to remind the contestants to prepare to go on stage, and then Barbatos stopped replaying the action, put his phone in the locker room, left the locker room and walked towards the stage.

Is it finally starting?

Waited for four months, trained for four months, and returned to the competition for the first time after failure.

Barbatos's gaze passed through the dark aisle and turned to the stadium outside the aisle, where the sun was shining.

She has been waiting for this battle with the Condor for a long time!

Even now, she doesn't dare to say that she can defeat the Eagle, but such a game and such an opponent can make people feel their blood boiling.

This battle must be won!

Barbatos let out a light breath, put aside all the distracting thoughts in his mind, and walked towards the sunshine step by step.

Her body also adjusted to the best condition as she walked, her aura slowly condensed, and her fighting spirit rose.

It has been four months since she last ran a race, and she is still a little uncomfortable at the moment. However, this discomfort is being adjusted quickly, just like a precision instrument that has not been used for a long time, removing rust, applying lubrication, and adjusting accurately.

"Next up is the most popular Uma Musume of this match, and the most popular in Japan!"

"The undisputed pride of this generation, the 'God of Wind' who has returned after four months of recuperation—Barbatos!"

Barbatos walked out from the curtain step by step, and his coat was thrown away like a cloak.

The protagonist of this event appears at this moment!

Chapter 220 Captain-level spiritual pressure!

"Next up is the most popular Uma Musume of this match, and the most popular in Japan!"

"The undisputed pride of this generation, the 'God of Wind' who has returned after four months of recuperation—Barbatos!"

Commentary seat.

As the live broadcaster of this match, Misato Akasaka, as always, wore round-frame glasses, giving people a somewhat silly and cute feeling, and was deeply praised by the fans who watched the live broadcast of Uma Musume.

With Barbatos coming to power.

Akasaka Misato uttered a soft "eh" and spoke to Taketoyo who was in charge of the commentary beside her.

"Teacher Taketoshi, do you feel that Barbatos today is different from before?"

When Barbatos participated in the G1 Special Youth Tournament, it was she and Taketoyo who hosted it, so she was not unfamiliar with the topic when talking about Barbatos.

"Her mental state and aura give people the feeling that she is better than ever."

"Well, it's like he's not a player with a four-month window at all."

"I see."

"So, Mr. Takefusa, who do you think has a better chance of winning today, Barbatos or Condor?"

"Hard to say……"

Wu Feng was about to use the official explanation, saying that there is no absolute in the competition and that the winner cannot be known until the last moment, but after thinking about it, he laughed.

"Objectively speaking, Barbatos has only just recovered and has a four-month window of recovery."

"It's not just a four-month window for matches, it's also a four-month window for training."

“If Condor hadn’t been in today’s Cherry Blossom Show, even with Barbatos having a window of opportunity, she would have had a great chance of winning the championship and securing the first of the Mares’ Triple Crown.”

"But now there is the presence of the Condor."

Akasaka Misato smiled knowingly. As a veteran live esports player, she immediately understood the hidden meaning in Taketoyo's words. She had also thought of this.

Now she looked at Wu Feng beside her with "doubt", "Isn't this obvious?"

"Even though there aren't any weak players among the other contestants participating in the Sakura Festival, there are still gaps between strong players. What does what Mr. Taketoshi just said have to do with Barbatos's window of opportunity?"

"Naturally there is."

"Although it may sound harsh, sports competition also requires talent."

"Sometimes, a horse girl with average talent will definitely improve after four months of hard practice, but the improvement may not be rapid, and there is a limit."

"Several players at this year's Sakura Festival have also fought against Barbatos before."

"If they use this four-month window to catch up with Barbatos Woyi (III), Wuqijiu (VI), and Shanwo, they may have caught up, or there may still be a gap."

"What about the already famous Condor?"

"I heard that Shenying even took some time off to do a lot of training for the cherry blossom viewing."

This is a very obvious truth that many people understand, but if you look at it from the perspective of Barbatos fans, you naturally don't want to think about it.

Akasaka Misato suddenly realized, "Does this mean that Barbatos has been left behind by Condor?"

"Maybe."

Taketoshi replied uncertainly.

This really confused Akasaka Misako. You've already said that, is it appropriate to say "maybe" now?

Wu Feng chuckled again and said, "Under normal circumstances, the Condor would indeed have a greater chance of winning."

"But I remember that before the title of 'world's genius' came into being, Barbatos and the others were called the protagonists of the era?"

"That's right."

Akasaka Misato nodded in affirmation.

"What is the protagonist of an era? It is to make the impossible possible. If Barbatos is the protagonist of that era, then perhaps he can also break through himself and create miracles in this game?"

“Sometimes genius cannot be measured by common sense.”

"No, it should be said that we cannot use our common sense to judge Uma Musume or the competitors in the competition."

"In history, there have indeed been many horse racing girls who have created miracles in competitions."

Akasaka Misato agreed, and at the same time complained in her heart that although Take Feng said a lot, he actually said nothing, and did not say who he thought had a greater chance of winning.

These words seemed to imply that Barbatos could perform miracles.

But doesn’t this also apply to other horse girls?

"Well, now that all the contestants have arrived, please enter the gates. The first race of the Mares' Triple Crown—the Cherry Blossom Viewing—is about to begin!"

While Akasaka Misato was speaking, horse racing girls such as Barbatos, Condor, Sakura Ranbu, and Dramatic Development were being led to the gate by the staff, and entered the gate one by one under the guidance of the staff.

After a brief wait, Barbatos entered Gate No. 6J7.

To her left was Drama Development, already entering the gate and ready to go, and to her right was Sakura Ranbu, about to enter the gate.

They are all old rivals who had played against each other last year. Now they are assigned to the left and right, and they are going to be closely watched.

She thought without particularly caring.

Both Drama Development and Sakura Ranbu have improved in the past four months. She and Xingyun Tiankong had already studied the competition. If she followed her previous strategy of chasing horses, it might be a bit uncomfortable if she was marked.

But this time, she was not going to choose to chase the horse.

"Xiaoba, don't cry if you lose this game."

A confident voice came from the gate on the right. It was the Condor who had already entered the gate and ran to the outside.

“That’s what I was going to say, too.”

Barbatos' tone was filled with fighting spirit as he looked into Condor's masked eyes.

This time, she could clearly feel the fighting spirit and confidence in Shenying's eyes. It was the confidence in winning the duel that was decided right after his debut, and the strong fighting spirit against the strong opponent!

Defeat me, then go to the Arc de Triomphe to defeat the nobles and become the world's number one horse girl.

That's probably what Condor thought.

However, this time, I have to give up the idea of ​​Condor going to the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix this year, because I will be the winner.

"By the way, I'm going to give it my all from the start today. Do you want to try and see if you can keep up with me?"
