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

Those lavender eyes were already emitting bright starlight, and a huge bird's-eye view map suddenly appeared in Orihime's mind.

[Golden skill, the one who knows destiny, activates! ]

Once again using this special ability to look down, Aimu Orihime looked directly at the culprit of this feeling.

There were three runners behind her at the moment, Super Stream, Twin Turbo and Mi Yu.

Among them, it is obvious at a glance that Mi Yu's strength is not that strong, and the twin-turbo has basically lost the right to continue fighting for victory because of premature stalling.

So…is it a super stream?

Aimu Orihime locked onto the thing almost instantly.

Then she saw it.

Her eyes suddenly met with that pitch-black thing.

It wasn't that someone raised his head and looked at the sky in the darkness, but the black thing attached to that person suddenly opened its eyes!

The scarlet pupils were stained with some indescribable ink color, and that indescribable breath began to erode the reason of loving Orihime.

That was something that didn't exist in this world. The sharp gaze that sent chills down her spine made Orihime begin to feel dazed...

No, this is an illusion!

Aimo Orihime, who cheered up instantly, saw clearly who was chasing her.

The long black hair, the cheek soaked with sweat that tightly covered the right eye, the petite figure, and the determined running steps...

——It’s rice bath!

But how is that possible?

Why was she able to chase after me?

Why did this girl, who was obviously much weaker than himself, burst out with strength far beyond his own at this moment? !

Impossible... Impossible... Impossible!!!

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!!!

Aimu Orihime was aware of her current condition, and while her stamina wasn't completely depleted, her strength and endurance had been mostly used up, so she was able to maintain her current position.

But what about the rice bath?

Shouldn't she be unable to generate enough acceleration power?

What on earth is going on now...!

puff.

The sound came from the chest.

It's a heartbeat.

The chaotic thoughts in Orihime's mind that she loved were swept away at this moment.

That’s right, she shouldn’t be thinking about this kind of thing now... Instead of worrying about why others can catch up with her, what she should do is speed up and rush out.

Then leave everyone behind!

Plop, plop, plop.

As long as you can still hear your heartbeat in your chest, it proves that you haven't lost yet.

As long as you haven't lost yet... you should try your best to win the victory!!!

As if in response to her words, the darkness that obscured the sky was broken by a beam of starlight.

Under the shining starlight, a hot current began to flow out and spread throughout his limbs and bones, shaking violently.

The beating of her heart is proof of her being alive, and it is also a gift from her to herself.

At this moment, this gift turned into a signal, driving the brain, while also amplifying the soul, the will, and the desire to win for Orihime.

The girl's chest rose and fell violently, absorbing all the oxygen she needed into her body.

Lifting her knees high and drawing her right arm back to her waist, Aimo Orihime readjusted her posture.

I can feel... the power raging in those legs!

"I didn't lose... The only time I would lose is when I die!!!"

Following this shout, she took a straight step forward with her right foot.

boom!

He pressed his right horseshoe hard into the grass, and the grass debris under his running shoe was blown away by the huge impact.

Aimu Orihime's face twisted in pain due to the huge recoil of force, and her body let out an unbearable cry.

But——I can still bear it!

Amid the explosive sound of rapid footsteps, the starlight tore a hole in the darkness.

The stars twinkled above her head, and the starlight shone on her body. It was just light, but she could feel a force pushing her body forward.

Vega was just like she always was, but this special feeling seemed to make her completely explode.

At this moment, I admired Orihime and felt as if I was completely overlapping with her.

That’s right… As long as I’m in the game, I can feel [her] presence, and [she] will respond to my call.

And when I stack myself with [her]... I become infinitely more powerful!

The power surging out of the body was like an overwhelming tidal wave, as if it had completely cut off the constraints of gravity, pushing Aimu Orihime forward endlessly.

The light of Vega called her companions

Come on, rice bath!

"If you think I'm a dark hero, then I am—"

"Mi Yu said that it's no longer necessary."

The sound of Mi Yu came faintly from the side of Aimu Orihime, interrupting her passionate voice.

The dark color suddenly surged, once again obscuring Vega, who just moments ago was inseparable from her love for Orihime.

Orihime felt her heart suddenly go empty, and all the connections she had with herself were completely severed.

"occur……"

What happened?

Aimu Orihime subconsciously wanted to ask this.

However, when she opened her mouth, she found that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

An unprecedented feeling of dryness completely sealed her throat, and she almost couldn't breathe.

Nothingness, another dimension... countless chaotic thoughts flooded into Orihime's mind uncontrollably.

【Didn’t I tell you? 】

A nonexistent soft voice came from beside my ear, issuing a verdict on Aimo Orihime:

[If you continue to use that...something irreversible will happen. ]

The feeling of crisis before was actually a warning!

Chapter 206: The power of being different from the same domain

A few seconds later, the end point of the training ground.

"Narita Shirahito one, Miura Bourbon two, Stardust Illusion three, McQueen four, Rice Bath five, Adoring Orihime six..."

Since Toyama Scarlet had already walked towards her horsewoman, Tojo Hana announced the result of the training match in a low voice. She was silent for a while, then looked at the other two trainers beside her:

"Miyu and Aimo Orihime, what do you think of the final sprint of these two runners?"

She did not ask about the results of other runners. Excluding Stardust Illusion, whose weight suit weighed nearly 60kg, the results of other runners were basically as expected.

After all, it was just a training match, and she didn't expect Narita Bairen to burst out with any extraordinary power.

But in this training match, what caught her attention most was something else.

The silence lasted for a while.

"Aimei Orihime must have exploded in the training match... and exceeded her own limits?"

"But it seemed to be interrupted... And that player named Mi Yu... I have never seen such a situation before. He was clearly bursting out, but I didn't feel enough fighting spirit..."

Nanban hesitated as he recalled the scene just now, doubting his own judgment.

Although these trainers do not have the unique talents of the horse girls, they can clearly see the abnormalities on the field.

For example, fighting spirit explodes, the field is shattered, and even the momentum of each runner condenses into a huge phantom, fighting in the sky high in the stadium.

However, as trainers who have been working with racehorse ladies for a long time, they can more or less feel the presence of some aura.

For example, grand scenes like fighting spirit explosions and territory expansions, even if they cannot be seen with the naked eye, their sixth sense as trainers can pick up some information to avoid missing out.

However, the rice bath just now was different.

It wasn't just Minamisaka, but also Tojo Hana and Nishizaki Ryu, the two veteran trainers, didn't feel anything unusual.

It's like Mi Yu's attributes suddenly increased, and then he defeated Aimu Orihime with his basic performance.

But how is that possible?

Nishizaki Ryu didn't say anything immediately. He looked at the laser rangefinder at the finish line, which showed Mi Yu's speed when he crossed the finish line:

17.14m/s.

"In the last 200m, Mi Yu reached this speed, 17.14m/s... This is not too far from the fastest runner today..."

"But, Mi Yu should be a late-maturing horse girl. How could she have such top-notch last-leg speed so early?"

This unruly man frowned. Although Mi Yu was not his responsibility, as a true Hermès, Nishizaki Ryu was also worried:

"I'm worried that's not normal. Although we didn't feel anything like fighting spirit or domain, as long as it explodes it will definitely cause damage to the body."

"That speed...will it put any pressure on Mi Yu's body?"

"Is Toyama that guy going to blame his horse girl again?" Tojo Hanaya frowned. She held her chin with one hand and looked in the direction of Toyama Feihong:

"After all, there is the record of Ennis the Wind God...why don't you go and warn her."

As he spoke, Tojo Hana raised his chin towards Toyama's blushing back.

"Hey, hey, hey, Ahua."

Of course, Xi Qilong knew that she was talking about him. He shrugged helplessly.

"After all, we don't have the power to directly interfere with other trainers' strategies, right? Besides, even if you don't trust Toyama, don't you trust the other two horse girl trainers on her team: Airi Hayabusa and Super Stream?"

"Don't worry, they won't let Toyama Scarlet abuse Miyu."

After that, the three trainers were silent for a moment.

It seemed that they agreed with what Nishizaki Ryu said. They stopped discussing the matter and went on to become the horse racing girls.

-----------

After the training match, there are many things to deal with.

The first is Mi Yu. In this race, although her result was only 9th among 5 runners, it was not worthy of praise.

But judging from her performance in the competition, she is undoubtedly the most outstanding runner.

In the early and middle stages of the game, the girl did not show any amazing performance. She was always at the end of the team, accumulating strength in a lukewarm manner.

This is basically consistent with the expectations of the Stardust Illusion.

Because among many runners, Mi Yu's physical fitness is probably not much different from that of a twin-turbo, so even if someone starts to escape in the stadium, she must not be affected by the rhythm.

Otherwise, Mi Yu would completely lose his strength before the end of the game and fall into the final abyss.

According to Stardust Illusion's idea, this position should be kept for about the last 200 meters, where Mi Yu will burst out with all his strength. In this way, even if he cannot compete for the first place, he can still surpass his previous results.
