Stop being a trainer!

It’s not a horse, it’s not a woman, and it’s not a high school student, but a horse racing girl!

Take the lead,

All horses are dark!

'Boom! '

The feet pressed into the ground of the grassland in an instant.

It was as if a huge force of hundreds of kilograms appeared out of thin air, and the unprecedented, dull roar instantly suppressed the cheers for Katsuragi's ace.

It was as if time had stood still. Everyone subconsciously stopped talking and looked in surprise at the symbol of Rudolph, who had been pushed to the back of the herd and seemed about to sink.

In the deep sea of ​​darkness, a head slowly rose up. A golden light burst out from its pupils, as if to shatter the darkness.

"You, look up to the Emperor's divine power!"

Thunder fell from the sky and instantly hit the Tokyo Racecourse, causing everyone to open their eyes and look on in surprise at this unprecedented miracle.

Chapter 51: Blossom

"Collective hallucination? Performance? Magic? No, no, no, how could it be anything like that? We all saw it with our own eyes."

"A bolt of lightning struck the racetrack from the sky, hitting the symbol of Rudolf."

"That's the Emperor's running."

The audience in the observation deck at the time later said this to all those who questioned.

They firmly believed that they saw God at that moment. At that moment, the running of the horse girls was no longer just an entertainment, but a pure spirit.

Under everyone's attention, under everyone's gaze, the visible lightning instantly bombarded the Rudolph symbol. But the thunderbolt did not cause any harm, it just changed something about the Rudolph symbol.

Yes, something has changed fundamentally.

If the running symbolized by Rudolph was previously within the scope of human understanding, it is different now.

The sound of thunder hitting the ground was like that of a thunder. Every step he took sunk deeply into the earth, lifting up the originally solid grass. It was as if the whole world was shaking at that moment.

That's not the way a human being can run.

The steps were so big and exaggerated that it seemed as if he was flying in mid-air.

The body was buried too low. If it were a human, running in this posture would be more like stumbling to kneel.

However, Rudolph Symbol ran just like that. Like a wild animal, like a horse girl born to run like that, the sudden burst of acceleration even swept the field like a storm.

The rainstorm is coming, and the symbol of Rudolf has arrived. That thunderous step is the symbol of the emperor!

"What's going on! Why is there thunder? What on earth happened?!"

"It's the Emperor! The Emperor's march has begun!"

"The blessing of the three goddesses has arrived!"

Looking at the golden-red light, looking at the divine-like red-gold light shining on the symbol of Rudolph, the entire racecourse began to boil.

Even the commentary began to become incoherent, full of personal color and a certain fanatical characteristics.

"I see it! I see it! Do you see it? Everyone! This is the Dream Cup! This is the symbol of Rudolf, this is the Emperor!"

'The once-weary emperor now shows us her true form! This must be the true form of Umamusume! This speed, this power, this running form that transcends human intelligence!'

'The three goddesses also smiled at this moment! However, the distance to Katsuragi's Ace is still far, can Rudolph Symbol really catch up! There are only 200 meters left! Chiaki Representative also started to speed up, but Chiaki Representative, as a chasing horse, couldn't catch up with Rudolph Symbol! ! '

The commentary's voice lingered in the ears of every horse racing girl, making their brains begin to vibrate.

what happened?

Why does this happen?

No, that's not the case. It's the way it should be. It should be the way it is!

Seeing the figure that had completed the ultimate breakthrough, swept by a golden-red stream of light and running forward like thunder and lightning, all the horse girls who saw it had an epiphany at that moment.

That is different from the domain, and it is another form of evolution of the horse girl. The domain is something that humans can also do and possess. In other words, the domain itself is a technology developed by humans and then passed on to the horse girl.

But this posture, this power, is something that humans can never touch. It is a miracle that only horse girls can do and feel.

Merge the soul in the horse girl's body with one's own will, burn it, and sublimate it into the strongest form.

Looking at the golden-red light, countless horse racing ladies were almost intoxicated by the light.

But the thunderous footsteps instantly shattered the beautiful illusion.

'We are still in the game.'

The golden-red eyes scanned the surroundings, locking onto the body of each horse girl, and instilling the strong will into the hearts of the horse girls like words.

"You are still Uma Musume, intoxicated by the running of your enemies! The Dream Cup is still going on, are you going to give up your dream like this! ! "

"!!!"

"There are only 100 meters left! The Rudolph symbol is coming! What should Katsuragi Ace do! Can Katsuragi Ace still speed up! It's caught up! "

felt it!

Amid the crazy shouts of the commentator, Ace Katsuragi, who had just woken up from a dream, shook his head and instantly felt the source of power symbolized by Rudolph.

It was not some copy-paste technique, but every horse girl who looked at the golden-red light could instinctively understand what it was. It was the sublimation of her will, spirit, and soul.

It's just that before it appears, no one is aware of the existence of such a thing. Just like before the word blue appeared, the descriptions of the ocean were all black, purple, and pink. Before seeing the specific things, they only have a vague feeling, but when they see the real things, it's like breaking through an invisible barrier, and the feeling quickly becomes real!

She can do it too!

Katsuragi Ace is also OK!

Rudolph symbolizes the ability to burn everything in oneself, so can't Katsuragi Ace do it? ! Absolutely, easily!

"I also--"

Ace Katsuragi took a deep breath.

Blood oozed from the corners of his eyes, and an unbelievable amount of power came from his body.

The body is creaking, and the spirit and strength are about to burn out completely, offering a sacrifice for running.

But at the moment when Katsuragi Ace was about to take the step with all his strength, she heard some familiar voices.

"It's enough for the ace to be safe and sound."

That was the voice of the hoof-fitter in the team. Then, more voices rang out.

"Yes, the kid has been working hard, but safety is more important than anything else."

"If you can, don't push yourself. You can win with this strategy."

"If you've already retired, don't hurt yourself."

"Please stay safe, Ace..."

"..."

Katsuragi Ace doesn't run for himself.

Looking at the symbol of Rudolph passing by and feeling the essence of the blood-red mist emanating from it, the fire burning in Ace's heart gradually died down.

That's the smell of blood.

As long as it passes by you, you can smell the rusty smell.

If you want to break through the impossible realm, you must pay a certain price. And watching Rudolph running by, Katsuragi Ace understood what this change was.

Really? I see.

Put everything you have on the scales and run towards your goal of breaking down and building up.

Such determination, such resoluteness, Katsuragi Ace couldn't do it. So how could she not be defeated?

Turn everything in life into nutrients, burn it into this dazzling flower, and bet that the moment of blooming is the most beautiful in the world. Just one wrong step will lead to an abyss of no return.

What are you talking about stealing a man? Isn't this thing burning nicely?

This time, she lost.

Anyway, I have won once, so let's just leave it like this this time.

You can't let the uncles and aunts in the team worry about you like that, right?

Feeling the sense of crisis and the gradually subsiding edge coming from her former enemy behind her, facing the fate of falling almost at the same time as her enemy, Katsuragi Ace smiled bitterly, slowed down her steps, and watched the golden-red figure pulling her farther and farther away.

A few seconds later, the commentator's loud voice sounded on the field.

"We've crossed the finish line! The first popular Rudolph symbolizes this, and this is the moment when the emperor reigns supreme! ! The second move is Chiaki's representative, and the third move is Katsuragi's trump card! "

"Oh oh oh!!!!"

Cheers louder than those heard in any other game rang out from the stands, the burning enthusiasm almost piercing the sky.

Chapter 52: The End of Dream Cup (Second Update!)

The prosperity has passed, and the countless ribbons and fireworks of blessings have been set off.

Rudolf symbolizes that he is being interviewed by the winner and confirms that there will be discussions about the reform and the future evolution of the Uma Musume system.

This was a historic moment, with countless reporters pointing their cameras at the symbol of Rudolph, who had won the victory but now looked calm and elegant.

Katsuragi Ace leaned against the entrance and observed Rudolph's body. Although the smell of blood was almost lingering when he was running, Rudolph, who was now wearing a red cape and a match uniform, was calm and composed.

Is it a substitute?

Otherwise, with that kind of force and amount of bleeding, shouldn't he be lying down by now?

"...It's really strange. I've always suspected it, but could it be that there are multiple Rudolphs?"

"There won't be many Rudolphs. It's just that she behaves too perfectly sometimes."

Representative Qianming, who had just returned from the vending machine, threw a bottle of salt water to Ace Katsuragi and opened one himself to drink.

In fact, apart from the competition, the relationship between everyone is pretty good. There is no hatred or hostility, unless there are some things that cannot be completely washed away.

If it weren't for the race, the things that Chiaki represented and Rudolph represented would really be unclear. After all, outsiders really don't know what the meaning of fighting with that man as the axis is. This is also the reason why Katsuragi Ace is angry.

But now, looking at the symbol of Rudolph who treated all visitors with ease, Katsuragi Ace also shrugged.

"I've made a big mistake this time. I'll go to him tomorrow with some gifts and kneel down to apologize in person."

"I don't think that's necessary. A-Ming actually cares a lot about his appearance. He'll be very happy if you just communicate with him normally and tell him that you support him as a trainer, right?"

"Is that so... No, hey, Qianming, can you still laugh now?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Looking at Katsuragi's ace who suddenly attacked, Representative Chiaki blinked in confusion.

"What's so funny about me?"

"Didn't you say you were going to defeat her fairly? Why are you laughing now?"

"Ah... How can I put it? Suddenly I feel like it doesn't matter anymore."

"I'm talking about you..."

Looking at Representative Chiaki who looked relaxed, Ace Katsuragi shook his head as if disappointed.

She had long known that her old enemy's behavior was extremely unpredictable, but she had never expected that he would give up on the Dream Cup.

What on earth was I doing here? Was I here to be someone's background? I suddenly felt a little embarrassed when I thought about it.

"I actually know Rudolph would do it. She told me so."

"what?"

"That's the state. To run like that in this state is almost tantamount to suicide. Rudolph said so."

Looking at the somewhat surprised Katsuragi Ace, Representative Chiaki, who was drinking salt water, shook his ears and drew a circle in the air.

"The legs will break, the tendons will be torn, the soles of the feet will explode, and even the horse girl will die."

"What is that? Horrible."
