Tianma? Actually, I'm a doctor!

Because he was working hard towards the Tresen Academy, Kita no Xuanju had learned a lot about horse girls during this period, including the Japan Cup.

In the classic year of Uma Musume, which avoided the Chrysanthemum Shooting and focused on the Japan Cup, there weren't many who could win in history...

Not to mention, the current Miss Tenma has won the Chrysanthemum Award and is challenging the Japan Cup.

Emperor Rudo, the most powerful and undefeated triple crown horse girl in Japanese history, suffered a crushing defeat in the Japan Cup, which made the classic annual horse girls in later generations dare not replicate this terrible schedule.

After all, the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition is a long-distance GI race of up to 3,000 meters. After a short rest period of less than a month, we will have to compete with those ancient predecessors and top foreign monsters again.

Such extremely high intensity and extremely short rest time have made it so that Umamusume has never won in the classic year when the Chrysanthemum Shooting was switched to the Japan Cup.

"If Miss Platinum really wins... then that would be another historical record, right?"

"Ms. Platinum, come on!!"

In the north, Xuanju clenched his fists, his heart filled with excitement and worry, hoping that the Pegasus could once again set a record that would be extremely difficult for future generations to break!

I'm also worried that this excessively high difficulty will shatter Platinum's undefeated reputation...

And beside Xuanju in the north.

The more petite Satomi Kozumi couldn't help but look up at the calm and composed silver-white figure in the gate. Her little face was flushed with joy and excitement, and she spoke in an extremely serious tone.

"There are only three days a year when I don't like Miss Platinum."

“一天是2月29，一天是2月30，一天是2月31。”

"The gods couldn't tolerate my not liking you for three days, so they erased those three days so that I could like Miss Platinum for a whole year."

February of this year happens to be only the 28th!

When Kita no Xuanju, who was still nervous, heard Satomi Kozuna talking to himself calmly until this moment, he was stunned.

After reacting!

"It's already late, stop going crazy here!"

"Diamond, aren't you nervous about the upcoming Japan Cup? Two foreign horse kings are challenging Miss Platinum!"

And Satomi Mitsuzumi shook his head without hesitation.

"That's Pegasus! That's Miss Platinum!!"

"Never mind the foreign horse king she's up against. Even if it's the grass-riding [Dance of the Brave] or the mud-riding [First Generation Big Red], I firmly believe Miss Platinum will win!!!"

There was not a trace of doubt or worry in that firm voice.

The two horse racing girls she mentioned made Northern Black Horse's expression freeze!

A brave dance on the grass?

The first generation of red in the mud? !

In Little Diamond’s eyes, no one can beat Miss Platinum?

Beibu Xuanju couldn't help but admit in his heart that Satomi Kozuna was the craziest and most trusting fan of Tenma Platinum.

After all... those two are legendary figures who have rocked the world!!

Yongwu, one of the most highly regarded grass-court kings in the history of the century, is a true once-in-a-century legend.

Her popularity, as a foreign horse racing girl, is extremely famous in Japan, and all of this... is thanks to the [Symbolist].

Once upon a time, the twin stars symbolizing home, the horse girl Ludo and the Sirius symbol, embarked on an expedition at the same time.

While Ludo symbolizes the American expedition, Sirius symbolizes the European Arc de Triomphe.

At the Arc de Triomphe, Sirius was in the middle of the pack the entire time, struggling to sprint on the soft grass. Meanwhile, a monster not far from her, also in the back row...

But in a very short time, he got rid of the symbol of Sirius in one fell swoop, and rushed from the last place to the first place with the posture of a king who could kill everything. His terrifying last kick, like a ghost, shocked the whole of Japan!

The brave dance made Japan truly realize what it means to truly rule the world as an absolute overlord! The frog in the well finally looked up at the moon, and thus left the well and began the endless expedition challenges.

The winner of the Arc de Triomphe Award was none other than the legendary horse racing girl Yuubu who dominated Europe and left a deep impression on countless Japanese audiences.

It's worth mentioning that the Holy King's aura, often referred to as "noble blood" or "descendant of the king" in the Umamusume anime, is precisely because... she is the "Dancing Brave Girl"! This is why she's the subject of so much anticipation.

This is enough to show how much Japan admires and expects the winner of the Arc de Triomphe!

But Rimi Mitsuzu believes that if it is Tianma... he is qualified to challenge the legendary Yongwu, or even surpass him!

Even most of the fanatical platinum fans probably wouldn't dare to say such bold words, right?

Beibu Xuanju admitted that Xiaozuan was the most loyal and trusting fan of Miss Platinum, but he himself... was very worried.

"I hope...it's really the same as what you said, Diamond."

By next year, Platinum will have won most of the GI competitions in Japan, and then... he will definitely start his overseas expedition.

By then, maybe it will be possible to shake and challenge Yongwu's legendary status! !

"But before that, we have to win this record-breaking Shimobaba Japan Cup!"

Even if he could really win, it would probably... be the second match since Platinum's debut match where he only won by a single digit length, right?

After all, this is a battle-hardened, ultra-high-intensity race coupled with a heavy horse course.

After Yamato Akagi, the second person to qualify to step onto the Tenma winner's stage and dance as the silver-white girl's backup dancer... is coming soon, right?!

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

[All participating horse girls have successfully entered the gate. The countdown begins!]

[No one has ever won the Japan Cup in the same year as the Chrysanthemum Sorting champion. Can Tenma Platinum break the record?!]

The voice of the commentator resounded throughout the venue.

【10! 】

【9! 】

【8! 】

The final countdown to open the gate began.

The audience, numbering over 100,000, all concentrated their attention and lowered their voices.

……

On the grass, inside the gate.

The silver-white girl at the outermost path was gently stroking the quiver behind her that contained more than a dozen arrows.

The numerous arrows and the harsh and dim rainy environment filled Bai Jin's heart with an inexplicable sense of security.

(After winning this Japan Cup, at the next Arima Kinen, we should be able to achieve the "special effects visible to the whole world"?)

[Showing off one’s power in front of others], who wouldn’t love it?

We have worked hard to obtain and even upgrade so many special effects, but it is such a shame and waste to only show them to a few horse girls on the field and in the audience.

So... we must win this Japan Cup and complete the mission as soon as possible so that we can leave work smoothly!

(So... let's start the escape, right?)

(I'll finish this race as soon as possible, wait until the Arima Memorial, and then switch to [Horse Chasing] to show off my cool special effects.)

The silver-white girl calmly made the decision on how to run in this Japan Cup and even in the Arima Kinen next month.

When it comes to showing special effects, big chase is the most suitable, right?

Next month, during the Arima Memorial Showdown with Airy Hayako, the phantom Triple Crown horse girl and the outside audience will be able to admire her unique and extraordinary special effects together!

And now...

【3! 】

Bai Jin, with interest in his eyes, glanced at the East China Sea Emperor who was also a great heretic beside him, and then looked at the gate in front of him again.

It’s coming!!

【2! 】

【1! 】

The next moment, accompanied by the final sound, the gate was suddenly opened!

All the horse racing ladies in the arena suddenly rushed out at the same time!

The horse girls who are able to participate in this highly anticipated international GI event, whether they are participating in foreign expeditions or local Japanese horse girls, are all horse girls who are full of courage and strength.

A simple [exit] is naturally not a problem for them, even though it is a damp track that is more strenuous than a good horse track!

As for Platinum, who was at the outermost lane, her figure after rushing out of the gate was as swift as thunder, and she had no intention of controlling the rhythm at all, but was rushing towards the front!

At the extremely important exit, in just a moment, Pegasus Platinum, who was in the outermost lane... turned into silver-white thunder and lightning, and rushed to the front position, competing with the escaped horse Uma Musume in the inner lane for the first place!

This is the visually stunning escape that ranks at the pinnacle of all running styles, along with the great chase!

In an instant, the audience was once again filled with countless voices of astonishment and shock.

"Eh?? In a heavy horse field... can this be led? I've never seen it... No, I've never even heard of it."

"Can such an extremely exhausting running method really win the Shigebaba Japan Cup?"

"As I recall, no champion of the Chrysanthemum Festival could win the Japan Cup that same year; no unlucky horse girl from the outermost gate could win the Japan Cup either; and there were very few examples of anyone winning the Japan Cup in the Great Escape... Is Tenma's entire body covered in debuffs?"

"If I can win this, I'll stop being a fan of Speedy and switch to being a fan of Platinum!"

Amidst the countless heated discussions!

At the very front row of the grass field, the silver-white Pegasus at the front, even though it was in the outer lane, still had no intention of rushing towards the inner lane, but instead prioritized escaping to the front!

And beside her at the gate, contestant No. 14, Emperor of the East Sea... was actually in the middle position at this moment, staring in amazement at Tianma Baijin, who should have been beside him, reaching the front and the first place.

(no……)

(Why did even Juubaba and Shirogane have to flee to the end??)

(Crazy, so crazy!!)

In the eyes of the East China Sea Emperor, Chongma Field is a [restricted area for escape].

The great escape itself is extreme. It is to do everything possible to burn out everything in oneself in exchange for a temporary lead.

And because of the excessive running, the horse girl in the battle race will become more and more weak, tired and even... stalled as she gets closer to the finish line in the second half!

It is no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of escaping, which is already extremely high, will increase exponentially when the environment becomes more severe.

Not only in Japan, but also in the history of Uma Musume around the world, there are not many escape victories on grass GI. And the escape victories on heavy racecourse GI are even rarer!

Similarly, the pursuit method is also insufficient in heavy horse racing. This is why the great escape and the great chase are the most spectacular but rarely used.

After seeing the rain, the smart and quick-witted Emperor of the East China Sea was able to prepare immediately to deal with the Pegasus, which was likely to switch to the first or second-order running method.

She even thought there might be a slight chance of seeing the Pegasus, who ranked last in the Chasing Horse Run method. But she never expected that Platinum would still recklessly choose the Runaway Method!

But until now, after seeing Platinum, who had just come out of the gate, stride forward and replace the first place with impunity, the Emperor of the East China Sea was completely dumbfounded.

The next moment——!!

The Emperor of the East China Sea, who had not yet calmed down, witnessed a scene that she would never forget.

Behind the celestial horse that shone like silver-white thunder, led by the great outer path, a sacred and majestic silhouette of a young goddess suddenly emerged?!

The figure of the young girl's spirit was extremely similar to Pegasus Baijin, and she aimed her bow at... the Emperor of the East Sea! !

(Wait a minute?)

The Emperor of the East China Sea suddenly remembered that after the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival ended nearly a month ago, some of the horse racing girls who participated in the competition gave explanations on the Internet to ordinary audience fans who were curious but could not see Platinum's shocking special effects.

The Pegasus during the Great Escape! It wasn't just a matter of shooting all the arrows out in a few seconds, but starting with the outsiders, the trials were gradually launched one by one!

After excluding Platinum himself, the current Emperor of the East Sea...isn't he at Gate 14, the first victim?!

"one!"

The ethereal and majestic silhouette of a young girl spoke out the numbers without any emotion.

The next moment, the shadow of the young girl god behind Bai Jin shot an arrow!

The arrow seemed to transform into an endless stream of brilliant light, shooting towards the East China Sea Emperor who was showing his advance.

It wasn't a one-shot annihilation that would hit all the horse girls in the arena like a meteor shower!

But... like calling out names, starting from the very beginning, gradually going through all the horse girls from the outside to the inside, one by one!

It was clearly a goddess-like platinum shadow, rolling out a roll call, and then unfolding her own... [Judgment]!!
