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

...even, more than just moving forward.

Rhythm, mentality, ranking, everything just turned into bubbles. After being caught up, Igarashi Sakuraba began to lose his way, falling from the front to the back, and falling behind the horses. Aimu Orihime and Naritaji who passed by could not help but feel a little regretful and lost.

Why did you fall here? You said you wanted revenge...

just.

This state of loss of momentum, frustration, and dejection... anyone with a discerning eye can see that she has already lost her competitiveness for the championship.

——Damn it.

What came out of Luduo's mouth was a resentful word. She should have stabilized her rhythm and her mentality. The game was only halfway through... There was still a chance, a chance to turn the tide and rise to the challenge! She was so anxious that she wanted to shout it out loud. Luduo wanted to see Igarashi Sakuraba continue to move forward. She should never, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not stop here. She had to stand at a higher position.

"You seem to care about that child a lot." Qian Ming representative was a little regretful, but he could just shrug it off - what? He was called the reincarnation of CB, but this was all he could do? He felt more like this.

……but.

Then there was a smile.

It turns out that not every time Ludo's symbol can accurately see the potential of the horse girl.

He pursed his lips.

The symbol of Luduo did not speak, nor was he in a hurry to refute or explain, but there was still a last glimmer of hope in his heart.

She still believes.

…Igarashi Sakuraba is a horse girl who can create miracles.

She always manages to accomplish seemingly impossible things, which amazes the entire Ludo symbol.

-

and also.

On the side.

The hands of the Sky Shrine that were holding the railing began to loosen bit by bit, and his mood changed from shock to sigh, and he fell to the bottom along with Igarashi Sakuraba's ranking.

...Sure enough, is this still too risky?

Should we not adopt the strategy of fleeing in large numbers but play it safe? Is that right?

In fact, the Sky Palace doesn’t know. Even if they calculate the data thousands of times, it’s still the same unknown.

She only knew that Igarashi Sakuraba was currently in an unprecedented predicament, and the audience's attention was directly shifted from her to the good opera. After all, for them, it was enough to just see a good game.

obviously.

This Gaoyueshang is actually very exciting.

The rainstorm also added a lot of color to it.

Is there still a chance?

Did the road to the triple crown end just as it was beginning to sprout?

I don't know what to say or what expression to put on. Sky Shrine hopes that Igarashi Sakuraba will win, and that he will win the Classic Triple Crown and help me fulfill my unfulfilled dream...but...

"The Shrine." He pulled her sleeve in a beautiful gesture.

Motion to sit down first.

After all, no matter how much you worry, it won't affect the situation on the field, right?

So the Sky Temple could only sit down with regret.

Next, let’s pay attention to the Gaoyueshang.

Silent Suzuka looked out, saying nothing.

……

But everyone actually knows.

After being caught up in the escape, and falling to the last place, it was impossible to win this game. In other words, it was not even close to the word "win", it was a fantasy.

……

No matter how hard I try, it's no use...

The ranking has fallen to the bottom.

No matter how much you want, you can't reach...

The light representing the way forward gradually dies out.

Even if he burst out with all his strength, he was easily surpassed by others.

Something even more terrifying than failure happened... At this moment, Igarashi Sakuraba lost the desire to win, or in other words, she lost her champion heart again. She just thought that even when she burst out with all her strength, she was still surpassed by Good Opera, and the gap in strength between them was too big.

In other words.

There is no way to win.

That doesn't matter. If I didn't win the championship, it wouldn't make any difference if I came in second or last, right?

and so.

Only then will it fall into this situation.

and……

I was so arrogant before the game. It was really ridiculous. I looked down on the good opera just because of a few words. I didn't even regard the opponent as my number one enemy. I just didn't take it seriously with a hint of contempt.

just now.

It was the bloody lesson that taught Igarashi Sakuraba.

From now on, don't look down on even any horse girl.

Even if the opponent looks very weak.

It’s a pity that by the time I understood this truth, it was already too late.

Is there still a chance? I don’t know. Will I continue running? I don’t know.

The will begins to sink.

……

but.

There is still hope, right?

No matter how much I numb myself to the pain, that glimmer of hope is right in front of me, this is real - the race is not over yet, there are no more three waves or one wave of sprint distance left, there is still a full thousand meters, and the third bend has not been passed.

Who can be sure that there won’t be any unexpected situations in the process?

Just like everything has its limits.

In the heart of extreme despair, a beam of light slowly began to appear, penetrating the seabed.

Breathe, breathe.

The originally messy thoughts were collected bit by bit without being sorted out, and the thread was straightened out. With his breathing, Igarashi Sakuraba's mind miraculously began to become clear. It was no longer filled with negative emotions, but was filled with a brain controlled by reason.

The reborn plants began to emit a vitality that could not be ignored!

This vitality is enough to enable it to grow into a towering tree!

——Is it the end of the world?

Or something else?

Can't figure it out.

Igarashi Sakuraba only knew that he had regained his composure, and with every breath, his spiritual altar became brighter.

……Understood.

It's not a matter of deus ex machina, but while emitting negative energy, the whole body is in a state of concentration, and deep breathing helps to expel all emotions.

I've said it before.

It is very easy for Igarashi Sakuraba to enter a mode of 100% concentration - no matter what he does.

-

and also.

More than that.

When the curve came, the Sky Shrine who was sitting in the first row of the audience suddenly stood up, looked at the track which was only ten meters away, propped himself up, and shouted: "Come on! Igarashi-san——!!"

Almost everyone's attention was attracted by it! And it was filled with the emotion of shouting at the top of one's lungs!

She was almost jumping onto the track and running by herself, and you could even say she was roaring.

“Charge forward!!!!!!!!!”

Igarashi Sakuraba...heard it.

She just nodded slightly to show that she received it, and her heart began to beat strongly and powerfully again.

Just charge forward.

It’s not over yet.

Even if it is a predetermined fate, you will break out of it by yourself, break out of the siege!!

PS: I will only update once today, and I will post the rest tomorrow. Otherwise, it will be a break again. Let’s see if I can finish this plot tomorrow. I hope to end it with consecutive updates.

Chapter 4: A Final Battle, Tomorrow Still Exists [K words]

Break out of the siege.

An extremely beautiful word.

When you are in deep trouble, one blow after another comes, you become depressed, sinking into pleasure and beauty, not knowing what your future will be like - all you have to do is pick up your willpower, lead yourself... and break out of the siege!!!

No one in this world can save you from danger except yourself.

Because a person who even gives up on himself... will never be able to reach the other shore and be reborn in Nirvana.

……

Igarashi Sakuraba understood.

She knew that she shouldn't completely lose her mentality and rhythm after being surpassed by Good Opera. What if this was the opponent's full-strength burst? Is it possible that he would lose speed after the burst? That would be her chance. There was nothing to be afraid of being caught up. The game didn't end in an instant.

The most terrifying thing is to give up easily.

Understand this.

I heard the roar of the Sky Shrine at the side of the track again: "Charge forward! Igarashi-san!!!"

——I will.

He nodded and responded to the other person silently in his heart.

My heart suddenly became clear and bright, as clear as the water of a lake.

Immediately.

Igarashi Sakuraba picked up the will to never give up and began to slowly adjust his state rhythm.

Review the situation on the field again.

Now Good Opera is at the front, about fifty or sixty meters away from the herd, which is a rather exaggerated distance. This distance must be reduced before sprinting on the straight. Aimu Orihime and Narita Road probably think so. They are in the front and middle of the herd, running very conservatively, letting the [rabbit] eat the wind resistance and conserving their own energy to the maximum extent.

As for the end...

It's Igarashi Sakuraba.

Not to mention the last one.

Anyway, life is not easy and we are completely at the bottom of the list.

The audience had turned their eyes away from her and started cheering for the good opera. Competition was such a cruel thing.

Only the horse girls who can win deserve fans and screams.

Don’t mention so many off-field things.

Now, there is only one question before Igarashi Sakuraba - how to catch up? The race is already halfway through, and the distance to the finish line is starting to decrease. The third bend is about to pass, and when the fourth bend comes, all that remains is the final sprint straight.
