Tianma? Actually, I'm a doctor!

After everyone in Japan, from top to bottom, began to wait with anticipation...

Just a few days passed in a flash!

There is less than half an hour left before the Japanese derby starts.

And in front of the racecourse where the Japanese Derby was held, it was raining heavily.

Even under the influence of heavy rain, it could not extinguish the audience's enthusiasm and expectations.

It was so crowded that many fans and spectators started queuing up a few hours ago, and there are still many people even now when the opening is about to begin!

In terms of the number of spectators, the number was far more exaggerated than in previous years, which is enough to show the extraordinary nature of this Japanese derby.

"Even though we're without Tachyon... luckily we still have Platinum! This derby is definitely worth watching!"

"The Forest Treasure Cave and the Black Ship are also full of monsters. The chaotic situation of the Triwizard Tournament, and the rare heavy horse field, must be confusing."

"Even if I can't see Airi Hayabusa challenge for the Undefeated Triple Crown, it's still worth watching Pegasus Platinum's battle for the Triple Crown!"

"Platinum is indeed very strong, but she's only had a week's rest and she's already challenging the 2400m GI race. There's no way she'll succeed."

"Looking around Japan, there's no such thing as a Uma Musume winning two GI races in a week. Not even the strongest emperor can do it!"

Among the many heated discussions, most of them were about platinum, followed by the forest treasure cave and the black ship.

And on the other side of the queue entrance——

Alice, who was wearing a white coat and was not supposed to be here, looked at the figure in front of her with a calm expression.

Elly Hayako, who had already announced her withdrawal from the competition and was only a spectator of the Japanese Derby, was stopped by an acquaintance and former opponent as soon as she arrived.

Standing in front of Airi Hayako was a deer-haired girl with sharp eyes and a look of reluctance.

Its name is...Forest Treasure Cave!

During the Gaoyue Sho, Mori no Hokuanagi was recognized as the only genius who could possibly defeat Airy Soko. When the commentator mentioned all the Uma Musume in the arena, he would say "Airy Soko, Mori no Hokuanagi and others..."!

The talent and power of the forest treasure cave are evident.

But after losing Elise Hayabusa and the chances of winning the Japanese Derby increased a lot, the Forest Treasure Cave did not feel the slightest bit of joy.

On the contrary, she felt unwilling to lose that powerful enemy and the chance of revenge!

"Shuzi, I will prove it in this derby..."

"The strongest person of this generation will be me!"

Facing the unwilling words of Forest Treasure Cave, Ali Hayabusa calmly responded to her former challenger in an almost cold tone.

"At the end of the day, the outcome of the game doesn't matter to me."

The so-called competition is only a part of her research course content.

It seems that this monster, who has been called the Phantom Triple Crown, does not care about the Japanese Derby.

But no one could see that under the sleeves of her wide white coat, this crazy horse racing girl scientist subconsciously clenched her fists. Even though her sharp nails pricked her palms and made them red and swollen, she never let go.

If only I could...

Alice doesn't want to be just an observer or experimenter, she wants to continue competing in the arena herself, but she will never admit it easily!

"You have no chance of defeating me, but luckily..."

"You, met Platinum."

Before leaving, Airi Hayabusa expressed her opinion.

"No need to regret not being able to take revenge."

"If you defeat that Pegasus, you'll have defeated me, no doubt about it!"

Want to prove you're the strongest? Then you must defeat Platinum!

"it is good!"

After hearing what Elise said, the video of the Oaks Tournament that he had watched before flashed through Forest Treasure's mind, and he thought of the terrifying opponent who looked back at the moon.

"If the opponent is Platinum, it might be difficult..."

Even the Forest Treasure Cave admitted that it was no easy foe to defeat. Fortunately, however, this was a heavy racecourse, a special condition that would be difficult for even the most stamina-ridden horsegirls to overcome!

At this moment, she definitely has a good chance of winning.

"Will you lose?"

Airihakuko asked with a chuckle.

The next moment, the deer-haired girl's expression turned ferocious, like a beast that smelled its prey. She gritted her teeth and answered viciously.

“We’ll win!!”

A declaration of victory before embarking on a race or a heavy horse race!

-------------------

after a while.

The racecourse was packed with people!

The audience, numbering more than one hundred thousand, was cheering continuously.

"Ms. Platinum, for you I transformed into a werewolf, for you I became crazy, for you I put on a thick disguise, for you I changed my heart. Can we ever meet again???"

"Forest Treasure Cave, don't lose to a mere Oaks Tournament champion!!"

"Forest Treasure Cave, you must defeat Platinum to prove [Speedy>Treasure Cave>Platinum]."

"Quack, Platinum, we respect your teeth!"

Among the audience, there were many horse racing girls and retired horse racing girls who couldn't help but sigh.

"It's worth the price of admission to see these powerful warriors fight up close, even if I die!"

And somewhere in the front row!

Two extremely petite little horsegirls, their eyes sparkling with anticipation, each holding a cheering sign in their arms.

[Pegasus Platinum]

【Change to Triple Crown Platinum】

From Satomi Hikari to Northern Black Colt, these two petite foals all came to support Platinum.

Even though she had great trust in Platinum's strength, Satomi Mitsuzumi couldn't help but feel worried when she looked up at the wet grass below.

"It's raining, and it's not just the normal [slightly heavy] ground."

"Instead, it's the truly terrifying [Heavy Horse Farm]!"

"It's so unfair! Miss Platinum competed with all these debuffs on her body, having to endure battles with no rest. And after only debuting for a month, she encountered a heavy horse race that tests her endurance and strength!"

If it rains a day or two before the game, the grass may not be completely dry, but only slightly damp, which means it is a slightly heavier surface.

But at this moment, the rain is about to start and there is no sign of stopping!

I'm afraid this will be the GI event with the most terrifying venue and the greatest challenge for Uma Musume this year!

"Wow...it's so unfair. Miss Platinum is so unlucky."

There are more than a few Tenma fans who are worried, like Satomi Kozuna and Kitagawa Genju.

From the audience seats to the outside world, the wind direction has gradually changed!

The impact of environmental changes is not small.

Japanese courts are known as... [high-speed courts] and are harder than those in Europe and the United States.

To put it simply, Japanese racetracks require [Power C Speed ​​A] data, while European and American racetracks require [Power and Speed ​​A]! This is one of the reasons why many Japanese horse girls have such poor performance overseas.

However, heavy horse racing will lead to a much higher demand for strength. Many horse girls who do not exercise their strength or lack endurance will have their strength greatly affected, and will be as weak as stepping on the European grass.

Bai Jin, can she overcome the terrible heavy horse field?

……

Inside the racecourse, backstage at the competition.

There are nearly twenty horse girls in it, but the most popular and highly-anticipated Pegasus is missing.

"It's going to open in two minutes, let's go to the gate."

"Could it be that...she chose to avoid the battle because of the heavy horse field?"

"After all, the gate location and the heavy horse racing environment of Platinum are not favorable to her."

The forest treasure cave in the backstage couldn't help but be surprised.

The foreign horse racing girls, Kurofune, standing by were equally confused.

Just a few seconds later, footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the backstage.

And, the voices of URA staff.

"I'm sorry, Miss Platinum, but your complete set of victory suits is truly... [unheard of]!"

"So the inspection took a little longer, please forgive me."

"There will be no more reviewing phases for future competitions. Please prepare to enter as the most popular contestant!"

The sound traveled through the corridor and reached the ears of the horse girls in the backstage who had amazing hearing.

A decisive server? Unheard of? So it needs to be reviewed?

In an instant, they all turned their heads curiously, waiting for the mysterious Pegasus to arrive.

She even looked at the forest treasure cave of the deer-haired girl, who was as powerful and wild as a beast.

In the next second, Forest Treasure Cave was stunned and couldn't help but take a breath.

Miss Tianma, wearing a white decisive suit, walked in front of them calmly and confidently. The quiver and bow hanging on her back could not be concealed, and she immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the venue.

"Why are there horse girls who come into the arena with bows and arrows?"

"Wow...why doesn't my victory suit even have a small weapon? Tenma must be too favored by the three goddesses!"

"So cool! I've never seen a winning uniform matched like this before. No wonder it took so long to review."

Platinum calmly looked around the venue, looking at the faces of these contestants one by one, and finally lingered on the Forest Treasure Cave for a while.

She began to stare down the strongest opponent in the Japanese derby.

The cold Platinum Lord of the Helmetless Alliance can't wait to try out the special effects of her bow and quiver. She is very interested in her [new skin] and [special effects]!

It was clearly a heavy horse field and there were many powerful enemies, but Platinum never felt worried or afraid!

The Forest Treasure Cave only looked at each other for a moment and felt the incredible pressure. It grinned slightly and clenched its fists.

(Just from the way he stands, you can tell that this guy is incredibly strong!)

(But... I must not lose. I will defeat Platinum and prove that I am the strongest one, surpassing Platinum and Airyhaku!!)

Then, Platinum smiled faintly, took a step forward, and walked towards the stage.

"Everyone, I'll be leaving first."

……

At the racecourse!

[Next up... is Pegasus Platinum, known for surpassing the difficulty of the Undefeated Triple Crown! ]

[The favorite to win! Can the most popular Platinum competitor show his usual strength in this heavy-duty race, a rare sight in the history of Japanese Derby?]

Let's wait and see, and look forward to seeing Pegasus soaring! 】

Accompanied by the commentator's high-pitched declaration!

finally--!

Platinum, here she comes!

Even though it's still raining!

Platinum, wearing the victory suit, appeared calmly with a bow on her back, and the big screen suddenly locked on and enlarged her image.

Just a moment...

The hundreds of thousands of spectators in the arena were instantly engulfed in excitement! Countless people had never heard of such a thing, let alone witnessed a Uma Musume carrying such a massive weapon!
