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

God.

If there is a runner who can be called a god because of his strength.

That was undoubtedly the reed-haired phantom in front of him - Little Chestnut Hat.

"Is that... the realm?"

Stardust Illusion combined his knowledge from his past life and guessed.

"No, that's not a field." Old man Liuping beside him denied the stardust illusion in a trembling voice.

"This is a one-time miracle. Oguri surpassed all the horse girls in this race and reached a realm above the domain—"

The cane in his hand had already fallen to the ground without him noticing. He held the railing tightly in front of him with both hands and leaned forward as far as he could, as if he wanted to get closer, to get a closer look at the horse girl he was in charge of:

"It's true! This realm of [Transcendence Domain] really exists. After forcing myself into a desperate situation..."

"Xiaoli finally succeeded!"

Chapter 4000 Retirement [ words]

[Initially, we noticed that the local horse girl, Oguruma, was recruited by Emperor Rudolf. 】

[The media at that time, including me, were so stupid that we could not see how powerful this monster was, and we all made our doubts public, causing her to receive unprecedented bad reviews.]

[But even though we were so stupid, we were still conquered by her games.]

[Pegasus Championship, Daily Cup, Takamatsu Palace Cup, Daily Crown, Tenno Autumn Viewing, Neon Cup, Arima Kinen...]

[It is difficult to list all the classic scenes of Oguruma, and we never imagined that such a horse girl who symbolizes the entire era would appear before us. ]

[Today is the retirement ceremony for Oguri. On behalf of myself and our TV Tokyo, I apologize for the initial doubts about Oguri... And, I also want to express my highest respect to this horse girl who is now the king! ]

The retirement ceremony of Oguri Mao and Rokuhei Ginjiro began shortly after the winner's stage.

Here, a large group of reporters were waiting early.

Unlike the previous Stardust Illusion, where all the reporters were local media reporters around Nagoya, any one of them here would definitely be the ace reporter and the leading lady of each major TV station.

They all have only one goal at this moment, which is to record everything that happens when the greatest horse racing girl of today announces her retirement.

After temporarily separating from the two, Stardust Illusion stood in a corner where no one noticed and waited silently.

Because Rokuhei Ginjiro had already agreed with her that after the interview was over, he would take her and Oguruma to eat barbecue to celebrate their victory in the competition.

After the host finished his speech, the elderly Rokuhei Ginjiro and Oguruma, who was still wearing her championship suit, walked up to the podium.

As soon as the two of them sat down, camera lights began to flash in the audience, and reporters began to ask questions impatiently:

"Excuse me, Mr. Oguruma and Mr. Rokuhei, what do you think of the victory in this competition?"

The first reporter started the interview by asking a relatively ordinary question.

"All contestants tried their best, but Oguri did not disappoint the expectations of every supporter and finally presented a satisfactory answer."

Mr. Liuping answered calmly, without any sign of the words he had proudly said to Stardust Illusion before the game: "All the strong teams in this game will be supporting roles for Oguruma."

"I wonder how Mr. Rokuhei and Oguruma feel about their decision to retire this time?"

Another reporter spoke up and asked about the theme of this interview: the double retirement ceremony.

"I feel like I have no regrets in the professional arena, so I decided to retire and focus on the upcoming Dream Cup."

Xiao Limao answered this question seriously.

The dream cup she mentioned is a unique product of this world blessed by the three goddesses.

There, all participating horse girls can be restored to their peak condition by divine power and given the same level of physical fitness, allowing these contestants who are in different eras to run and compete once again.

To be eligible to participate, one needs to apply for and be approved at the Central Tresen College, which is why the central government is far more powerful than the local governments.

"Everyone can see that I am the only one who is still a central trainer after I turned 60. I retired this time because I trained Xiaoli to be so satisfied. To be honest... I am very relieved."

Old Man Liuping took over the conversation and sighed.

"Some people think that after you retire, the game will lose a lot of color. What do you think?"

A reporter asked this slightly sharp question at this time.

"Of course not. There is never a shortage of exciting runners among Uma Musume. Even if Oguruma no longer participates in public events, there will be new strong runners emerging, just like Rudolph the symbol did back then."

In order to prevent Xiaolimao from saying something wrong, Mr. Liuping directly took over the topic and gave a very appropriate answer.

However, a reporter from the Central Horse Racing Association suddenly asked:

"Today's race by Oguruma was very impressive, especially when she started to accelerate from the last 800 meters. Her powerful last kick reminded me of another horse girl...

I wonder if you two can give some comments on the talented Donghai Emperor who debuted at the end of this year and has already won 2 games in 2 matches? After all, she also has a pair of powerful feet. "

Rokuhei Ginjiro gave the reporter a meaningful look.

As experienced as he is, he could of course see that the reporter actually mentioned the Emperor of the East China Sea on purpose, hoping to use the heavy topic of the retirement of Oguruma and Mr. Liuping to play up this trump card launched by their Central Horse Racing Association.

However, this was exactly what Rokuhei Ginjiro and Oguruma wanted.

"Donghai Diwang is indeed a very promising newcomer. Her body is very flexible, which is similar to Oguri, so she can show very strong control of corners and the last foot when running."

Old Man Liuping took one last look at the horse racing girl standing in the corner and smiled heroically.

[Let us two retired guys help you. ]

Thinking of this, the old man picked up the microphone and continued:

"However, geniuses are not destined to be alone. The Emperor of the East China Sea has already met his nemesis. I can guarantee that next year will not be peaceful."

"What does this mean? The enemy of the Emperor of the East Sea?

Who is that? Is it the new middle- and long-distance talent of the Mejiro family? Or is it the descendant of the gorgeous family and Pegasus?"

The reporter from JRA (Central Racing Association) quickly asked.

Although he did not get the praise he wanted, in the opinion of this reporter, as long as the topic was directed to the Emperor of the East China Sea, the purpose of riding on this hot topic would be achieved, and now he just needed to continue to expand on this topic.

“Hahahahahaha! The old enemy of the Emperor of the East China Sea has actually already greeted everyone, but since you’ve asked to this extent…”

"I'll tell you."

Old man Liuping once again showed his signature wild laughter.

But following the old man's words, Stardust Illusion, who had been standing in the corner thinking that it had nothing to do with him and was quietly waiting for it to end so that he could go eat barbecue to celebrate, was shocked all over.

At this point, she certainly had a premonition of what the old man was going to say -

"Haha, this is the Uma Musume... Stardust Illusion! Come say hello to everyone!"

The old man who was laughing loudly did not give Stardust Illusion more time to react. In front of all the reporters, he just raised his finger and pointed over.

Following this finger, everyone made way for a passage, revealing the brown-haired horse girl standing there in casual shorts, looking at a loss.

The Stardust Illusion that was pointed out had already gone blank in its brain due to the sudden impact, and its hands and feet were completely stiff.

He could only look at old man Liuping who was waving at him and walked over to him with his hands and feet trembling.

[Is this the stardust illusion? ]

[The Stardust Illusion is the enemy of the East Sea Emperor? ]

[Is it really her? She looks like a newbie. ]

All reporters had countless questions in their minds, but the most important one was...

"So Stardust Illusion, who is she?!"

The reporter from JRA couldn't help but shout out when he searched the list of Central Uma Musume in his memory countless times but couldn't find the information of this Uma Musume.

The people present looked at each other in bewilderment. They also had no idea who this horse racing girl who suddenly appeared was.

At the outermost edge of the crowd, a reporter who looked very young raised his hand tremblingly and said cautiously:

"I think I know who she is..."

"Who are you?" the JRA reporter asked with a frown.

"I'm a reporter from Nagoya TV, my name is..."

"Don't worry about your name, just tell me if you know the answer!" Upon hearing that he was from Nagoya TV, the JRA reporter interrupted his self-introduction and asked to get to the point.

Looking at the seniors who were staring at him, the reporter could only swallow his saliva and explain:

"…Stardust Illusion seems to be a horse girl who made her debut at the Chukyo Racecourse yesterday with a winless race. Her current record is 2 win out of 1 races."

"Because in the local media interview after the race, she declared that she would defeat the East China Sea Emperor in the Classic Triple Crown, so it was reported this morning and our TV station's race news also broadcast it."

……

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The JRA reporter looked at the Nagoya reporter, then turned to look at the still stiff Stardust Illusion, his face full of disbelief.

Then his expression changed slightly, and he immediately handed the microphone to Rokuhei Ginjiro:

"In your opinion, what exactly is the reason why this horse girl can become the enemy of the Emperor of the East Sea?"

“Please don’t get me wrong, I’m definitely not biased against this Stardust Illusion, but the fact is that the Emperor of the East Sea has won two games in a row and has begun to enter the classic-level high-reward events.

And this Stardust Illusion has only failed once in his debut match. To be honest, it is still unknown whether this Stardust Illusion can participate in the Classic Triple Crown competition with the East Sea Emperor next time, right? "

"Because she's strong."

Oguruma answered directly but did not explain further.

She seemed to think that what she said was very natural and there was no need to say more.

"Forget it, old man..."

The Stardust Illusion quietly pulled the hem of Rokuhei Ginjiro's clothes and whispered.

She didn't want her affairs to affect the important retirement ceremony of these two people.

However, Mr. Liuping completely ignored the Stardust Illusion's persuasion and answered directly:

"I think she is fully qualified to say that. Stardust Illusion...she is the biggest enemy standing in the way of the East Sea Emperor's goal of winning the undefeated triple crown."

The JRA reporter gritted his teeth as he watched his colleagues around him writing furiously.

He had wanted to use this opportunity to promote the Emperor of the East Sea once more, but he had not expected that Rokuhei Ginjiro would directly describe the Emperor as the enemy of this Stardust Illusion - wouldn't that mean that the Emperor was being hyped up by this local horse girl? !

No, this cannot happen... If this kind of news gets out, he will definitely be fired for making things worse!

Thinking of this, the reporter no longer cared about basic manners and directly argued:

"But the Emperor of the East Sea is recognized as a genius in the Central Region, and is even called the [Second Emperor] by many trainers. She has inherited the strength symbolized by the [Emperor] Rudolph. How can a local horse girl be compared with the Emperor of the East Sea!?"

Hearing this, Rokuhei Ginjiro and Oguruma looked at each other and both smiled at the same time.

Xiao Limao reached out and took the microphone, staring at the reporter who asked the question and said:

"Remember to report my next words word for word—"

"You just said that my last kick left a deep impression on you, right?"

There was a beast-like aura in Oguruma's eyes, looming over the reporter in front of him.

This JRA reporter had never felt the power emanating from a top-level horse girl. At this moment, his legs were trembling, and he could only stand in place and nodded.

"But that running method, I learned it from Stardust Illusion."

"If you have watched her competition videos, you would know that in her first debut match more than half a month ago, Stardust Illusion almost defeated the Emperor of the East Sea with this running method."

The first final acceleration that Oguri used to win the game at the Arima Kinen was actually learned from her?!

All the reporters present began to whisper.

They could tell that this was not just nonsense from Oguruma. After all, something like a game video could not be faked.

But...how could a horse girl who just made her debut have any running skills that could help Oguruma, a runner who is leading the era?

Is this why they think that Stardust Illusion can become the enemy of the Emperor of the East China Sea! ?

During the previous half month of getting along, in order to prepare for the Arima Kinen and break his own limits in this race, Oguruma focused on training and did not communicate much with Stardust Illusion. The only time they got along well was when they ate together.

But this does not mean that Oguruma does not regard her as his partner.

Or in other words, in Oguruma's opinion, a horse girl who is willing to eat and drink with him every day and train seriously with him is good enough to be his friend.
