The socially anxious girl doesn't want to stick to me!

There are only fifteen hours left until the Japan Derby - the whole city is stuck in countdown.

Chapter 137: Complete Form [ZONE]

[Ten years have passed since Ashima's monster, Oguruma, awakened in "ZONE". 】

[Once again, Uma Musume awakens to her full form "ZONE"]

[Her name is...]

[The grand opera at the end of the century - TM Opera King!!!]

[There are still one hundred and eighty-nine seconds until Good Opera awakens to its full form. ]

……

Tokyo, racecourse.

It was no longer the bad weather of Gaoyueshang. Today was a sunny day, a sunny day that could not be blamed even if the game was lost. The 13,750 seats were enough to accommodate more than 200,000 spectators, and now, fans were entering the venue in an orderly manner.

Mathematics is amazing, isn't it?

Among them are two guys wearing glasses.

"It's been a while since I watched the Japanese derby—" He pushed up his glasses and continued, "The last time I came to watch the game was when Narita Shirahito won the Classic Triple Crown... I think the last time I came to watch the game was when I watched the game live."

"So do you think Igarashi Sakuraba can win the triple crown?"

His companion asked sharply and directly.

But he didn't rush to answer. The guy with glasses frowned and thought: "This... is hard to say. Igarashi Sakuraba's strength has always given me a sense of uncertainty. For example, her last escape was too ugly. It can't be said to be ugly, but in short, it was not very good. In the end, she relied on her burst of chasing to win the championship."

"If we can maintain a relatively stable state."

"Then I think she has a great chance of winning the championship."

"I analyzed her previous matches, including her debut match and the Youth Cup. They were all bad running styles. I don't know why she suddenly chose to use the Great Escape to participate in the competition. But to be honest, it's terrifying that Igarashi Sakuraba has so many running styles! Is she going to become the second Maya Heavy Artillery?"

——The ever-changing king of shootdowns, Maya heavy artillery.

He is famous for achieving good results in all four running styles.

"Oh, there's one more thing - what's interesting about these two matches is that Igarashi Sakuraba won one match against Narita Road, sending him into the loser bracket, and then won another match against Aime Orihime, breaking his winning streak."

"These few can already be called the strongest of the new generation."

Having said that, he added.

Keep talking.

My companion immediately started arguing: "But I think the good opera has a higher chance of winning the championship! Although she was overtaken in the final sprint, just like you said, she performed very well throughout the whole show, very impressive, and her strength is stable and strong."

"Maybe it's because it's raining so hard that we can't escape!"

He replied with confidence.

There were also heated discussions.

of course……

Do not misunderstand.

They were good friends, just discussing who would win the derby, that's all. But suddenly someone came over with a super long stick, about two meters long - it made people wonder how she got through security.

"Make way, make way, make way. Stop arguing first and move aside. We can start arguing later." The Sky Palace said this and squeezed to the front.

Then he looked at the stick in his hand again.

Smile brightly.

"The winner of this match will definitely be Igarashi Sakuraba."

She shook her head and joined in the conversation between the two.

The rational guy pushed his glasses and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Isn't this easy? Let me analyze the game for you. Igarashi Sakuraba's strength is her flexible running style. In a 2400m race, do you know how much of an advantage this running style can bring? The most important point is that the difference between her and Maya Heavy Cannon is that Heavy Cannon can only use one running style in a game, but Igarashi Sakuraba can change it at will..."

The Sky Temple immediately began to preach excitedly.

……

the other side.

Igarashi Sakuraba, who was huddled in the lounge, was no longer filled with tension.

It's a good attitude.

after all……

I should be nervous, I have been nervous, I should make some progress, not to mention that I have won the Japanese derby in my dream, why should I be afraid of this derby in reality? I just need to play and win the championship, that's enough!

Wait until the appointed time arrives.

then.

Following the instructions, I walked towards the light.

Do not misunderstand.

The game hasn't started yet...

Instead, the pre-match presentation session - a session to respond to fans' support - is similar to the winner's stage, but not as exaggerated as the latter.

Walking through the darkness, light comes in an instant.

Accompanied by cheers from all over the sky.

"Igarashi Sakuraba!!!"

"Igarashi!!!!!!!!!"

There were countless fans shouting enthusiastically, the voices of tens of thousands... maybe even hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, and even resounded through the sky... Today's Japanese derby was packed, and many of them were fans of Igarashi Sakuraba.

Another small half of the people were attracted by the dancing of the little bear.

……turn out to be.

...before I knew it.

…I already have so many fans.

A wonderful feeling is coming.

Igarashi Sakuraba looked at the audience seats that were cheering for her, with her nameplate on it. The power born from her heart condensed into the belief that she would win, gathering together bit by bit...Then, she waved to everyone, smiled, and responded to the support.

Responding to fans who have always supported him.

Now that he is no longer an unknown person, what he wants to return to is his own throne.

Decide not to be a coward anymore, decide to run towards the championship without hesitation until you win.

With thoughts.

Igarashi Sakuraba's brief performance ended - and he was leaving the stage.

But just walked down.

The next horse girl came towards us.... She turned out to be a good opera with a lot of nonsense.

Or.

The biggest rival in this Japanese derby - is she? Can she beat Aimu Orihime who has been training hard on the snowy mountains for a month? The question arises. But Igarashi Sakuraba will never underestimate any horse girl again.

Look at each other.

Smile slightly.

Surprisingly, good opera doesn't have any nonsense in it.

He just tilted his head and smiled in response.

I didn't have time to be surprised, I was surprised at how the other party turned into this, could it be that he became ten times stronger after turning evil? It shouldn't be that serious... just losing the Gaoyue Award.

talking.

The desire to win is burning.

Extremely hot - just by meeting her you can understand her beating, burning heart.

——And then.

As they passed each other, the good opera stepped into the light, while Igarashi Sakuraba stepped into the shadows. She suddenly said, "Are you ready for the grand opera of the end of the century? This incomparably great epic... is about to begin."

--"certainly."

Igarashi Sakuraba nodded slightly.

Nothing more was said.

because.

The atmosphere you feel from good opera...is inextricably similar to the Ludo symbol.

That is the breath of a strong man.

It is also the breath of a predator.

Chapter 138: Japan Derby officially begins!

The cheerful and exciting entrance call rang out.

time flies...

The next part is no longer just playing house, but the highlight that countless people are looking forward to, the main competition is about to begin.

This time, the Japanese derby will determine the winner.

……

in the audience.

At the very back, Qianming stood at the top, farthest from the track, but the view here was enough for her to overlook the whole situation. Beside her were her old friends as always, the Ludo symbol who was full of expectations for Igarashi Sakuraba. There was no reason not to come and watch this derby.

Or rather, they come very diligently.

Arrive earlier than anyone else.

"I smell it..." Representative Qian Ming sniffed hard. He didn't feel dizzy or stuffy when he entered the venue. It was inevitable that he would feel stuffy when more than 200,000 people were crowded in the same venue.

but.

No.

Rather, that line of obvious coldness was like a knife in ice water, cold and sharp.

She added the next sentence lightly with a smile on her face: "The feeling of a beast."

"And it's not Igarashi's."

The name changed from Igarashi to Little Igarashi.

I don't mean to look down on people, I just think calling them that can help bring people closer together, and it's also a bit interesting.

Luduo nodded slightly: "Yes."

Her eyes were looking far away at the field, but she couldn't help but be attracted by the black-haired horse racing girl who was alone and detached from this world on the side.

That's a bit exaggerated...

just.

That feeling is impossible to ignore.

No one knows what kind of training Aimu Orihime has undergone... In order to win, she will do anything and be able to do anything.

"But we just need to watch the race, right?" Luduo continued to speak indifferently. After all, for a horse racing girl, how could the road to success not be filled with difficulties and thorns?

All you need to do is beat this.

Even if the derby is full of monsters, she still believes that the opponent can break through the siege.

I really believe in Igarashi.

Qianming means to withdraw your gaze and stop thinking about it.
