Uma Musume, do I have to tell you that I know how to use the Santa Hat special move?

[The emperor doesn't seem to be abnormal. We need to continue to pay attention to her so that she doesn't get hurt...]

[Bourbon ate an extra bowl of my ramen today. Who gave the order?]

[Damned tyrant, I will beat this guy from the Noble Family to his knees sooner or later...! ]

[McQueen seems to have gained weight again...]

She admired the handwriting of Stardust Illusion. These dog-paddling-like words were so fresh and refined in Mi Yu's eyes.

On the corner of the desk, Mi Yu found a red one-handed sword leaning against it.

She could recognize that this was the prop sword used by Stardust Illusion on the winner's stage.

Although it has not been sharpened, Mi Yu still feels that the sword looks extremely domineering, just like the temperament occasionally revealed by the stardust illusion.

She couldn't help but reach out and grasp the hilt of the sword, then held it in her arms, recalling the scene where the Stardust Illusion had ordered her...

After a while, Mi Yu finally reacted. She took the flaming sword and walked to the floor-length mirror.

Facing the mirror, Mi Yu couldn't help but imitate the appearance of Stardust Illusion on the winner's stage——

The sword was standing straight on the ground, with both hands on the hilt, Mi Yu looked at his own reflection in the mirror.

At this moment, I feel as if I have completely synchronized with the stardust illusion at that time...

She chuckled silently, and thought of Stardust Illusion's running on the field, stealing everyone's attention.

“So… I must not have those kinds of thoughts when it comes to a runner like my brother…”

“Mi Yu only wants…Mi Yu only wants to follow behind her brother and watch her back…!”

Thinking of his horrible and almost blasphemous thoughts just now, Mi Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for himself again.

She thought about this, still holding the flaming sword that symbolized the winner, and lay on the bed...

(When my brother comes back, I will apologize to her...)

Mi Yu was thinking.

But in the faint fragrance of this bed, he gradually closed his eyes.

Without knowing when, she had fallen into a deep sleep.

----------

"Stardust, you're finally here!"

The Emperor and Toyama Scarlet stood at the door of the Student Union, looking around. When she saw the Stardust Illusion running over, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened? Did you hear what happened?"

asked the Stardust Illusion Vision.

"The Emperor just heard the argument in the office! Those black suits seemed to say that you, Stardust, are not allowed to participate in the Classic Triple Crown!"

The emperor quickly told her the most important information she had heard, and she saw this scene on her way back to the dormitory.

Originally, I was just curious about what they wanted to see the president about, so I followed them and took the opportunity to meet the president and act a little coquettishly.

As a result, I heard this shocking news outside the office.

Although it can be heard, Rudolf simply rejected the request.

But since the dispute is still going on inside, it means that even the president is stuck with them!

The Emperor of the East China Sea does not want what the man in black suit said to happen. Stardust Illusion cannot participate in the Classic Triple Crown... How is that possible!

Stardust is destined to be a witness to my achievement of the undefeated triple crown as a good opponent!

(Not allowing me to participate in the Classic Triple Crown, is this revenge from the Gorgeous Clan!?)

When Stardust Illusion heard the news, he was also shocked.

But she immediately realized that this was impossible.

After all, the Gorgeous Clan was just a family that was beginning to decline, and could not in any way affect the level of the Emperor and JRA.

Besides, there's no way the other party would have a reason to ban me for no reason, right?

Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, Stardust Illusion still spoke to comfort him, "It's okay, Emperor. Even the JRA can't ban me without reason. You don't have to worry about that."

"It is indeed impossible for JRA to ban you, but I am worried about another situation..." At this time, Toyama Feihong, who had been standing aside in silence for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Stardust Illusion could see that the trainer had a frown on his face at the moment and did not look as arrogant as usual.

Toyama Crimson continued:

"After seeing your current achievements, they want you to go directly to Europe and America to participate in competitions there - for example, to compete in France for the French Triple Crown and the Arc de Triomphe!"

French Triple Crown?

Those are three G1 races in France: the French Guineas, the French Derby and the French Grand Prix.

Its positioning is the same as the classic triple crown in China, but in the words of the emperor, there is a separate game that stands out:

The Arc de Triomphe.

Ever since Condor lost to Noble Family, this match has gradually become a demon in the Japanese horse racing girl world.

Countless people have come forward to win this world-class honor to prove that Neon Uma Musume is not inferior to anyone.

Since Japan's horse racing girl industry started later than other European and American countries, there is indeed a gap between Japan and other countries in areas such as competition quality and modern training of horse racing girls.

This means that in the eyes of most people, competitions at a higher level than Japan are in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, the practice of [Expedition] came into being.

Send the powerful horse girls directly to other countries as players to represent Japan in competitions. If they win, they can bring glory to the country.

The Tree Express, which had previously competed with Stardust Illusion, was such a player.

It is precisely because she does have a strong dominance in world-class mile races.

That's why he won the title of mile race king.

But, it is possible that JRA wants Stardust Illusion to compete in the French Triple Crown and the Arc de Triomphe... does that mean they think she has a chance of winning all four tournaments?

"Is it the influence of that training match?" Toyama Feihong said affirmatively.

"These people have gone completely crazy after seeing that even a prominent family can only be second to you -"

As the trainer spoke, he had already sorted out the current situation in his mind.

She showed a standard bad smile, and then patted Stardust Illusion on the shoulder: "If that's the case, then it's easy-"

"Go find the noble family and let her talk!"

"As the president of the student union of Central Tresen College, Rudolf certainly can't ask for help from the prestigious family of the French Academy for such a matter..."

"But you are different, Stardust Vision."

Toyama Crimson looked at her horse girl and laughed with a shark-toothed expression:

"Just use your youth to your advantage, throw away your worries and make a scene!"

Chapter 4 (K) Don’t be rude to the Arc de Triomphe!

"We are also considering promoting the competitive level of horse racing girls in both countries..."

"Allowing Stardust Illusion to get a spot in the French competition will also have a positive impact on the popularity of your country's top competitions..."

He was just in the student union office, talking to Rudolph in a black suit, but now he no longer has the composure he had before.

With trembling hands, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Sitting on the sofa in front of him, staring at him with her golden pupils without saying a word, was the prominent family that was found by the Stardust Illusion.

The tyrant sat leisurely, her right leg casually crossed over her left leg, her hands clasped on her legs, and she did not speak immediately.

But those golden vertical pupils brought endless pressure to the JRA staff.

According to normal logic, the Japan Racing Association will not be bound by the shackles of the French Academy, and there is no need for him to be so afraid of the horse girl from a prominent family.

After all, no matter how strong the other party is, you can't hit him, right?

But, in reality, this is not the case.

Due to its extraordinary obsession with "Expedition to Europe and the United States", JRA sends domestic horse girls abroad in various ways every year.

One of the measures is to cooperate with foreign academies, allowing them to borrow the other party's local training facilities and then compete on the spot.

The other part relies on other methods to allow horse girls to be given local nationality to participate in the competition.

This second method is what JRA is preparing for Stardust Illusion to take.

But, this is actually a way to exploit loopholes.

Whether it is France, Japan or other countries, Uma Musume's G1 events are divided into two types: those that allow foreign racehorses to participate and those that do not.

In the French Triple Crown, these three competitions are basically the type that players from other countries are not allowed to participate.

What the JRA staff said before was that they wanted Stardust Illusion to compete for the Triple Crown, which meant that they would definitely take less than glorious measures.

Both JRA and Rudolph Symbol are very clear about this.

That's why Toyama Feihong said that no matter what the considerations were, they would not let this matter get to the point where it was known to the prominent families.

But, they are afraid...Is there anyone who is not afraid?

"Finished?"

The noble family smiled and turned around, looking at the Stardust Illusion standing behind him.

"This matter... is only at the discussion stage. There is really no need to make it known to you, the prominent family..."

The man in the black suit wiped the sweat off his face again. He wanted to glare at the Stardust Illusion who made things so messed up, but he didn't dare to look up. He could only bow repeatedly with a smile on his face.

"We welcome Japanese athletes to come to France to compete, but if you want to take illegal measures, don't treat everyone as fools."

The noble family spoke in a flat tone, and she never glanced at the man in the black suit sitting in front of her.

Anyway, he turned his gaze to Rudolph, who had already returned to the chairman's seat with a gloomy expression.

"There are already two horse girls coming to Europe this year, right?"

"I remember the name was... Golden Master, and the symbol was Sirius, right?"

"What do you mean, Noble Family?"

Rudolph's tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard.

"Well? I'm just asking, is that okay?"

The prominent family spoke in a relaxed tone, as if they were really just chatting.

But the man in the black suit who was affiliated with JRA and was in charge of the Uma Musume expedition could hear the threat in that.

Since the rules of the horse racing girl world vary from country to country, if they want to send their own horse racing girls to compete in Europe, they have to ask the other party to arrange local personnel training and take care of their daily lives.

In other words, the horse racing ladies have to give up their domestic trainers and all other relationships and go alone to accept the arrangements of the other country.

How many tricks could there be in this?

Even if the horse racing ladies are not fed well, it is likely to affect their performance, and they don't even have a channel to appeal.

Of course, according to common sense, a proud and prominent family would not do such a thing.

But they in JRA cannot deny the possibility of this happening.

In other words, it is naturally difficult for the JRA, whose methods are not so bright, to fully trust that others will act in an upright manner.

"This matter... is just in the discussion stage anyway. It's really, um... there's really no need to involve other players, right?"

The man in the black suit took out a handkerchief from his bosom, kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and stammered to persuade him.

"What do you mean, slander? Are you questioning the integrity of the French horse racing girl world?"

The prominent family had no intention of letting the man in the black suit off and continued to verbally attack him.

"That's not what I meant... We just..."

Faced with a prominent family that was clearly trying to make things difficult for him, the man in the black suit still couldn't muster the slightest intention of resisting.

He stammered and tried to find a way to explain, but got nothing except more and more cold sweat on his forehead.
