Umamusume's days are numbered

"Did you eat chocolate and empty your brain? You just say you're going to call him?" Platinum kept shaking White McQueen's head.

"That's right, that's right... Hey McQueen, have you gained weight?" The East Sea Emperor, who was originally agreeing from below, suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

McQueen's face immediately turned as red as a tomato, and he stammered, "Where am I fat? I've always been controlling my figure!"

"I didn't eat many desserts. I strictly control my daily intake. Besides, I exercise every day. How could I gain weight just from eating a little more chocolate?"

Megumi McQueen was still frantically explaining, unaware that his conversation had already been relayed to everyone through his earpiece.

"Sigh... This is youth... Hehe, it's so good." Megumi listened to the conversation coming through the earphones with a smile.

"Everyone, calm down," Megumi Ardan's voice came through the earpiece. "Don't get too carried away with the fun and forget about today's mission."

"—That's right."

"At times like these, we should talk more about... chocolate."

Suddenly, a completely unfamiliar voice rang out in the headphones.

"Help me, sister!" At the same time, Meguro Zenshin's scream came through the earphones.

"Shanxin? Shanxin, what's wrong?" Mubai Guangming frowned.

At this moment, Ibuki Kagura was nestled on Meguro Yoshinobu's shoulder, their cheeks pressed together, their ears touching. It wasn't that Ibuki Kagura wanted to do anything to Meguro Yoshinobu... but rather that she seemed to hear a familiar voice through the earpiece.

"Heh... So you were in the forest park with the Emperor of the East Sea and Megumi McQueen..." A smile appeared on Ibuki Kagura's face. "You ran so far to avoid me..."

"How naughty you are, sister, big sister."

After saying that, Meguro Zenshin felt a loosening on his shoulder. Ibuki Kagura decisively released his shoulder and ran off into the distance.

Meguro Zenshin's first reaction wasn't relief, but rather shouting into his earphones.

"McQuinn, run! That guy is heading towards the forest park!"

Upon hearing the voice coming from the earphones, Platinum's face turned deathly pale.

Without saying a word, Platinum turned and ran.

"Bai Jin, wait..." The Emperor of the East Sea grabbed Bai Jin's wrist. He hadn't expected Bai Jin to be so eager to escape, and he pulled the Emperor of the East Sea along with him.

"You two..." Before Megumi could finish speaking, the East Sea Emperor turned around and grabbed Megumi's wrist, pulling Megumi along with him as they ran.

"No, wait, what?" Megumi McQueen was completely confused. What was all this about?

Why should I run with you guys?!

Ardan Megumi sat in the stands of the training ground, his face ashen. He hadn't expected the operation to encounter so many setbacks so early on…

No sooner had one problem been solved than another arose, and this time it was Meguro Dober who urgently spoke through the earphones.

"The student council president has appeared! He's right at the cafeteria entrance, running like crazy!"

"Behind her... there were figures chasing her!"

Episode 164 The Great Escape Towards the Sun

Meguro Ardan sat in the spectator seats of the training field, his face ashen. Just then, Meguro Dober's urgent voice came through his earpiece: "I saw it! I saw Rudolf, the Symbol Association President, running past in the cafeteria!"

"Chasing after them... are Donghai Ziran and Sister Gaofeng!"

Leading the pack was Rudolph, clad in a dark green coat, his flowing skirt fluttering in the air like the wings of a wild goose, symbolizing the unshakeable authority of an emperor on the field.

Rudolph symbolizes the current authority a bit... She ran with a panicked expression, which was a stark contrast to her athletic running style.

And closely following Rudolph's symbol was none other than Tokai Nature! Tokai Nature wasn't wearing the logistics horse girl's uniform today, but rather a set of clothes in the style of a final battle outfit that she had somehow ordered, and she looked quite convincing.

In terms of running alone, none of the Donghai members who haven't debuted can outrun Mejiro Mine, let alone wearing that layered dress. The little guy is completely buried in the dress, like a tiny stamen wrapped in a blooming white peony.

But... the power of technology is boundless. Donghai, naturally, didn't bother running on his legs at all; he simply sat in an electric wheelchair. Whether he'd bypassed the speed limit for electric wheelchairs or not, this thing actually sped up to a highway-level speed, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning as it closely followed Rudolf's symbol.

"President~ Why are you running away~" While drifting around on his electric wheelchair, Donghai called out tenderly, "Come and try the chocolate I made!"

As he spoke, Donghai naturally picked up a pitcher of warm chocolate liquid and poured it onto his thin chest. Instantly, a pure white peony flower turned brown.

Meguro Mine followed closely behind, clinging tightly to the back of the electric wheelchair. Compared to Tokai, Meguro Mine was much more voluptuous, naturally exuding a mature charm, especially with the single white highlight on her black hair and her wide forehead, making her appear full and bewitching.

"Heh... With a figure like yours, don't even think about posing or putting on airs." While running, Meguro Takamine didn't forget to make a sarcastic remark about Tokai Natural, "The chairman has no interest in someone like you."

"---If you ask what the president likes, it's definitely someone like me, someone who can be her safe haven! Taking care of a naughty child is already tiring enough, how can you ignite the flame of love?"

Incidentally, behind these three was Ikuno Dedus. She ran behind them blankly, completely unable to remember why she was running with them or how things had gotten to this point.

So what exactly happened in the student council?

Unable to make up his mind, in the blink of an eye, these people had already run past the cafeteria entrance and headed towards the school gate, leaving everyone else in the dust.

"They've rushed towards the school gate!" Megumi Tobo only had time to warn them in his earpiece before he hurriedly followed. But these guys were just too fast, especially one of them who used technology and ruthless skills. It was a miracle he didn't lose them; catching up was really difficult.

To Ikuno Dedus's surprise, another person had quietly appeared beside him.

Megumi Ardan immediately issued an order: "Ryan, Shanxin, and McQueen, hurry to the school gate! The president and Gao Feng are running there!"

"Furthermore, regarding the light..."

"Yes, I know." Megumi walked out from behind the statues of the three goddesses with a leisurely air, and even smoothed his long hair.

This is the only way to the school gate.

“I will...stop the chairman here.” A cold glint flashed in Megumi’s eyes.

"Her great escape journey ends here today... Wow!"

Before Megumi could finish speaking, all he saw was a cloud of flying sand and stones, blinding him so much that he couldn't open his eyes.

That's... Rudolph symbolizing the cement kicked up by the president as he ran!

Then, Tokai Nature and Mejiro Peak arrived as promised. Mejiro Hikari, who had just opened his eyes, was once again captivated.

"Ugh... Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey... That's so cheating!"

Megumi spat out a mouthful of sand, rubbing his eyes and crying as he chased after the three. Then, Ikuno Didos was surprised to find that there was another person running alongside him.

"Seriously..." Megumi Ardan said expressionlessly as she rode her bicycle toward the school gate. However, she also knew that the training ground was the furthest from the school gate, and even if she were to ride a rocket, she might not be able to catch up, let alone ride a bicycle.

In other words, at this very moment, all we can rely on is...

Meguro Ryan and Meguro Zenshin stood in front of the school gate. Meguro Ryan's face was covered in sweat and his complexion was flushed, clearly indicating that he had just finished a high-speed race.

"Phew... I finally made it."

Megumi Ryan clenched one fist and slammed the other hand together: "Come on!"

Meguro Zenshin patted his cheeks and shouted, "Yay! Come on!"

...Is someone missing?

"There's one missing, definitely one!" Megumi McQueen exclaimed, both amused and exasperated. "I'm missing!"

Platinum, holding the East Sea Emperor's hand, the East Sea Emperor's hand, Megakure McQueen's hand, and Megakure McQueen's hand, holding the large naginata, ran around the campus like headless flies.

It wasn't that they were running around randomly, but rather that they were indeed fleeing from something's pursuit—the demonic Ibuki Maikaku was leaping at them from behind, and even Koi Leaping over the Dragon Gate had returned to the arena, the two of them advancing side by side.

"Hey, Platinum, run towards the school gate!" Seeing Platinum running around like a headless fly, McQueen couldn't help but call out to remind him.

Upon hearing McQueen's words, Platinum rushed towards the gate. Passing the water-filled garden and the statues of the Three Goddesses, the school gates were now in sight.

Once you step out the door, the sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly.

"...Huh?" Platinum exclaimed in confusion. Without realizing it, how did someone end up running alongside him?

She turned her head to look at him, only to find that he was looking at her too. Their eyes met in an instant.

A dark green trench coat, a steady and spirited stride —

"President?!" the East Sea Emperor exclaimed in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Platinum?!" Rudolf exclaimed in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"McQueen?!" Megumi and Dober exclaimed in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm wondering how I got here!?" Megumi McQueen shouted in despair.

Episode 165: Safe, temporarily.

"I'm wondering why I'm here too?!" Megumi McQueen screamed in despair.

Good news! Everyone has achieved an epic reunion.

The bad news is that the entire Treson College is in complete chaos.

Meanwhile, Ikuno Didus, who was following behind, noticed that three more people had joined him on the run.

Aside from Megumi Tobo and Megumi Hikaru, who just caught up...

"Hoo hoo... Chocolate, I must get all of my big sister's chocolate!"

Ibuki Maki wiped the sweat from her forehead, panting heavily.

"Ridiculous... All of Platinum's chocolates... are mine!"

Even though the carp was panting heavily while leaping over the dragon gate, it still refused to give up.

"Please don't worry about me."

The new universe that appeared without them noticing, remained calm and unperturbed, floating lightly beside them.

"Seriously, what are you all here for?" Ikuno Didos was utterly shocked.

Platinum and Rudolph Symbol, who were running ahead, were also feeling their strength waning. They had run a lap around the hillside that morning and then raced for a long time; Platinum's legs were now completely bent. As for Rudolph Symbol, no matter how brilliant her past achievements were, she had been retired for quite some time, and it was uncertain how far the old lady could still run.

Rudolf glanced at Platinum and winked at her.

“I borrowed Maruzensky’s car keys…and now her car is parked outside the school gate,” Rudolf said quietly to Platinum.

Platinum immediately understood the meaning of Rudolf's symbolism.

Rudolph, as expected of someone well-versed in various military strategies and adept at using different tactics, is now considering the best of the thirty-six stratagems: retreat!

Once those two run away, the remaining people naturally won't be able to cause any trouble!

The president is so cunning... but I like him!

The only remaining obstacle in front of them now is Megumi Yoshinobu and Megumi Ryan standing at the main gate!

Platinum and Rudolph exchanged a glance and immediately reached a consensus.

You deal with Megumi Zenshin, I'll deal with Megumi Ryan.

"Oh oh oh—" Platinum quickened his pace and rushed towards White Ryan.

Rudolf symbolically lowered his body and charged towards Megumi Shinsengumi.

Although I feel bad about doing this to my juniors... it's a battle for survival right now!

If I were captured by either Mejiro Mineki or Tokai, I would be doomed. I don't want a future like that!

As the two figures drew closer, the expressions of Megumi Yoshinobu and Megumi Ryan gradually hardened.

"For Gao Feng's happiness..." Megumi Ryan assumed a horse stance. "I'm sorry, Chairman!"

"For the sake of... anyway, Chairman, please stop here!" Meguro Zenshin stretched out his hands.

Several figures collided together!

Unexpectedly, Bai Jin encountered no obstacles whatsoever and rushed straight out of the school gate.

"...Huh?" Platinum turned around and saw Megumi Ryan holding Rudolf's symbolic hands, while Megumi Zenshin wrapped his arms around Rudolf's symbolic waist.

They never intended to stop Platinum; from beginning to end, Rudolf was the only symbol of the president.

"Well done! You did it!" Hearing the voice from the earpiece, Megumi Ardan was overjoyed and felt extra energy even when pedaling his bicycle.

"Go for it, believer!" Megumi shouted.

"Sigh, so what was it all for..." Meguro sighed.

"President—" The East Sea Emperor, who was led out of the school gate with Platinum, reached out his hand to Rudolph's symbol, while Megumi McQueen was thrown down by the East Sea Emperor.

"?" McQueen rolled on the ground and spun around twice, feeling dizzy. He shook his head and looked at the Emperor of the East Sea in disbelief.
