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

“Is it in time!!!??????????”

“Igarashi Sakuraba… Igarashi Sakuraba is catching up!”

"Is Aimu Orihime going to lose? Even the Overlord can't win the [Junior Cup]? Or will the Overlord not let others catch up easily?? Faster, faster!"

“The finish line is getting closer!”

"Is he going to win? Aimo Orihime? Or Igarashi Sakuraba? The winning streak of the overlord or the uniqueness of the rookie!?"

"It's Igarashi Sakuraba! Igarashi Sakuraba has surpassed Aimu Orihime! She won't give Aimu Orihime any more chances, because the finish line is just ahead!"

"Igarashi Sakuraba ended the game! Igarashi Sakuraba won the game!"

“The winner of the Junior Cup is… an unknown person that no one has noticed. After this, the name of that unknown person will surely be known!”

……

Exceed.

Correct.

Just like that - using the acceleration ability of the Sky Shrine, Igarashi Sakuraba finally overtook, without even the slightest chance left for Aimu Orihime, because, the moment she overtook, she also ran across the finish line, with an advantage that everyone could understand, just like that...

Speeding away from the dust, impeccable - win the victory!

Fulfill your promise.

Very good--

Igarashi Sakuraba just thought so.

Didn't disappoint Sky God... Using her running style, she defeated Aimu Orihime. It was really, really, great! The feeling of winning the game, and the feeling of running, was really, really great! It was like being truly alive!

……

Chapter 74: The winner's stage? I don't want to die! Yada!

——It feels like I’m really alive...

...I’m so hungry!

Igarashi Sakuraba was extremely excited.

Even after crossing the finish line, she slowed down and stopped... because the last leg she caught was too fast! Amazing speed! From now on, many people will definitely pay attention to this horse racing girl who suddenly appeared, and her name will surely shine in the world!

——Although.

Igarashi Sakuraba begins to wake up from his serious state.

Noticed more things.

From the joy of winning, I noticed the wind on the track, then the cheers from the audience... and the unwillingness behind me.

Extreme reluctance turns into desire.

Aimu Orihime thought she would win - but she also didn't expect that Igarashi Sakuraba's last kick would be so fast! ? Even surpassing her... She pursed her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but she didn't say it out loud. Yes, what can I say? There is no cleverness, only the last kick of the last straight, she was overtaken and lost the game.

that's it.

no excuse.

I failed to live up to the expectations of the audience, failed myself in training... and also failed... the star in the sky.

...I really am.

...It’s really, really too weak!

Head tilted back...lips pursed...teeth clenched.

Keep the rain from flowing out of your eyes.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that something was wrong with Aimo Orihime at this moment. Even the slow-witted Igarashi Sakuraba noticed it. She just took a step to that side, then stood there, not moving forward. Her mood was equally complicated—because she was the winner! No matter what Igarashi Sakuraba said, it would be like the winner looking down on the loser.

She made that clear.

And also... Igarashi Sakuraba doesn't know how to comfort people. She even has difficulty speaking now and is half mute.

After waking up from a serious state, he gradually returned to the state of social phobia.

All the emotions just now came flooding back.

--what?

How did these words and thoughts come up? How could they be so immature? Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps! Fortunately, I didn't say it out loud, but just thought about it slowly in my heart. Fortunately, no one else knew what I was thinking.

Fortunately...what a ghost!!!

I must be sick! I was extremely socially anxious at one moment and extremely crazy at another.

Even all the embarrassing memories from before came to mind.

Although I didn’t say it now, I did say something like “I’m the only one in the world” before, right? The commentator also said that from now on, this is my stage. Please stop bragging about yourself! I’m such a badass! Don’t look at me! If everyone is looking at me, I’ll find a hole in the ground to hide in!

Because the sewer is where rats and mice end up.

Let alone comforting Aimu Orihime, it was lucky that Igarashi Sakuraba didn't feel embarrassed. She just hugged her head and slapped it hard - don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore! Don't think about it anymore! If you think about it again, I will die in front of you! I will make you have no brain!

"Ugh!"

Just like the cry of a little beast!

Help! !

Aimu Orihime, who was originally feeling sad, noticed something strange about the winner and slowly put her sadness aside.

His eyes were just looking directly at her.

Looking at Igarashi Sakuraba's self-wailing... I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Puchi." My mood immediately became much better.

Because it is indeed a bit difficult to hold, it can even be described as performance art, right?

Although it is not clear why this is done.

Igarashi Sakuraba waved his hands quickly, then turned around and looked at Orihime, looking at her, the herd of horses behind her, and the reporters rushing towards this side, but his steps kept retreating towards the endless back side.

The pace gradually quickened.

Add as fast as possible.

Because she didn't want to be interviewed - that's one thing.

Second...

This is something that Igarashi Sakuraba doesn't even want to die for.

——Winner's stage.

The winner's stage, the winner's stage. The winner has to wear a dress and go on stage to jump, dance, and sing! Let's leave this to professionals! My scalp starts to tingle just thinking about it! Igarashi Sakuraba would rather die than participate in the winner's stage—yada yada yada yada yada yada!

Absolutely not.

So he forced a smile.

Igarashi Sakuraba waved his hand again, and waved to the others, indicating that he did not want to be interviewed for the time being. He kept retreating to the back, wanting to return to the preparation room.

——And then.

Pick an opportunity to run away...avoid the winner's stage. Just like I said last time, just run away! Even if the emperor gets angry, run away!

Luduo symbolizes that letting social phobia perform on stage is the same as murder!

……

The Rudra symbol in the audience narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wake up from the surprise of the second run.

Regardless of what this guy's limit is, at present, I noticed Igarashi Sakuraba's retreat, and then thought of his last bad behavior, running away from the winner's stage. To put it in a broader sense, this is a blasphemy to the audience, to the losers, and even to the name of Uma Musume.

Tell the emperor directly.

Igarashi Sakuraba will do the same this time.

No...

Squeeze it!

The symbol of Luduo stood up and wanted to walk to the back.

I want to arrest Igarashi Sakuraba directly and watch this horse girl change into a dress and go to the winner's stage! Surveillance!

But nevertheless.

After Lu Duo took the first step, the Emperor of the East Sea still sat on his seat, looking puzzled, as if he was thinking about something, and had not come back to his senses yet. So the Emperor played the role of a good father and asked softly: "Emperor? What's wrong?"

"Ah... um."

The Emperor of the East Sea woke up from his thoughts and quickly responded, "Nothing."

There was a glimmer of gloom in his eyes.

——That was obviously not my running style, but the running style of other horse girls...

It's the way other horse girls run.

Barely suppressing his emotions, the Emperor of the East China Sea followed behind the symbol of Luduo, but he unconsciously clenched his fists.

……

The scene cuts back to the other side.

Naritaji looked at the scene on the track—thinking that it was only natural that he would lose to Igarashi Sakuraba.

Because the opponent is too freakish! Really, really... too powerful. If I had used this last kick in the last duel, I would have been defeated, right? And the sprint on the training field - I already had a super last kick, so I must have concealed my strength before.

The original suspicion became a fact.

...smiled softly.

No more resentment.

He looked to the side and saw Zhen Jiling who was also in a bad mood.

This guy was holding an amulet, looking absent-minded—he just stood up with the same determined expression.

Like he was going to do something.

Chapter 75: How to escape from the winner’s stage!

Like he was going to do something.

……

Igarashi Sakuraba pretended to be calm and returned to the lounge.

Lock the door from the inside.

Immediately—

"call……"

Breathe like this.

Oh my god! These reporters are so dedicated! Even though Igarashi Sakuraba had left the track, they were still following me to get interview qualifications, and there were also staff members... It was a headache for a while, but fortunately, I finally returned to the lounge.

and……

There won’t be much time left for yourself.

It's an intuitive thing.

After escaping the competition, it’s time to escape the winner’s stage.

Listen to the noise outside gradually subside.

Igarashi Sakuraba glanced at the entire lounge - unfortunately, there was no small door, let alone the ventilation ducts described in the movies. What there was, there was only a rather dull makeup mirror and sofa, and there was not even a window... Too stuffy, right? What kind of design is this? And maybe the staff will bring the dress over in a while! Then start putting on makeup in front of this makeup mirror to participate in the stage!

Baring teeth.

This also means that the only way out is the main door.

...After understanding this.

Igarashi Sakuraba sat and waited for a while, tapping the sofa nervously and shaking his legs. It wasn't that the owner had bad habits, but he was so nervous that he had to do something to relieve the tension - there should be no one outside the door now.
