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

Then, she soared into the air... and then suddenly flew headfirst towards the finish line!

[Come, cross the finish line! Stardust Illusion has crossed the finish line!!!]

[The winner of this Gaoyue Sho is Stardust Illusion——Oops! Did she fall down!? ]

Accompanied by the host's hysterical shouts and the sudden surprise that followed.

The Stardust Illusion fell heavily to the ground, rolling forward, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The dozen or so medical teams guarding the edge of the track rushed over upon seeing the situation and began to find ways to provide emergency treatment for Stardust Illusion.

Allowing these people to manipulate his body, Stardust Illusion could no longer even feel the pain.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the auditory hallucinations that I couldn't get rid of just now finally began to slowly subside in volume after I crossed the finish line.

Just like completing the mission, the past that symbolized failure began to fade away.

From the final straight line, she had been fighting the Stardust Illusion till the very last moment, forcing her to take this last-ditch leap to the finish line.

After rushing into the finish line, the fiery red figure slowly let go of the inertia brought by the sprint, and then walked in front of the stardust illusion without saying a word.

Enduring the pain and exhaustion that almost blinded her eyes, she pulled herself together and raised her head to look at the girl in front of her:

(What do you think? I won after all!)

(The Emperor…of the East Sea…?)

The petite figure in front of her was like a burning girl, smiling brightly at her who was lying on her back in a mess, as if she didn't care at all about the fact that she had lost.

(She is actually laughing?)

The Stardust Illusion opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But his throat was so dry that it was almost smoking. Even swallowing some blood during the game could not relieve the dryness and he was unable to make any sound.

He could only raise his head with great effort and cast a questioning look at the emperor in front of him.

However, before Stardust Illusion could figure out what was going on.

As the auditory hallucination began to fade, the girl in front of him gradually became translucent.

(Translucent... up?)

As if saying goodbye, the fiery red figure waved slowly without saying anything.

The Stardust Illusion also unconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to grab the East China Sea Emperor in front of him, but touched nothing.

Before she fell into the final darkness, she finally heard the last words shouted by the host:

[In just three waves, he overtook the opponent and left the second-placed East Sea Emperor 6 lengths behind. This was a classic triple crown duel. There was no doubt that Stardust Illusion won! ! ]

(Eh…?)

(What does the 6…horse bodies…mean…?)

Consciousness completely dissipated.

First of all, let's talk business. I want to burn out of Gaoyue Shang. I feel like it's the sequelae of zone (not

In order to shorten the drag caused by the lengthy content of the game, the only thing I can think of is to update as much as possible like this.

8000 a day, 1+ for several days, and I can only finish writing at one or two in the middle of the night. It's really too tiring. I will take a day off tomorrow to recover. I hope you can forgive me, please please~

.

Then let's talk about this competition. Overall, this Gaoyue Competition is mainly based on the duel between Stardust Illusion and the Emperor of the East China Sea. This is also the main tone of this book that has been established from the very beginning, so there is nothing much to say about this.

But in my opinion, what is actually more important about this game is to break through the inner demon of Stardust Illusion, that is, in the debut battle, both sides fought to the last moment but I lost the game because of a little hesitation.

It seems that she doesn't care that much, but in fact, she can recall the figure of the Emperor of the East China Sea in almost every competition afterwards, which means that Stardust Illusion has never gotten over the shadow of failure in her debut battle, but she pretends to be training her brain so that people don't notice it.

Therefore, I also arranged a debuff in Gaoyue Shang (it was not intentional to weaken the protagonist. In fact, everyone has seen that this debuff did not cause much actual impact, but it just made people feel disturbed in their senses).

The Stardust Illusion runs on instinct, but is hindered by the fear brought by instinct.

She started by resisting this fear, then accepted the fear as nourishment for fighting, and finally achieved a state of mind that surpassed that of a calm mirror and still water, breaking through herself and her inner demons. It can be said that this was a small perfection.

Although I only realized at the end that the one chasing me was actually the T0 combat power [The Emperor in My Heart]

.

Then there is the issue of the starting obstacles which may be a bit controversial. I originally wanted to explain this matter, but thinking that the race has not been finished yet, I will just put it aside here.

Many people think that the protagonist has six or seven skills at the beginning and has a lot of gold, so how could he be surrounded?

In fact, this issue is briefly explained in the article, that is, it is affected by location factors.

As the horse girl leaving the gate, the protagonist is in position 7, and she will undoubtedly leave the gate from the inside lane. After leaving the gate, even if her acceleration and exit time are faster than others, she will need to move closer to other lanes due to her position.

In the starting sequence, going diagonally obviously requires a few more steps than going straight, and there are also issues of position obstruction and collision risk, so the protagonist was unable to rush out in one breath, but instead formed a small echelon and then looked for a gap to overtake to the front of the track. I have actually thought about this for quite a while, and it should not be particularly unreasonable.

Of course, I also know that this kind of situation where the escape is clearly strengthened but is always blocked will cause aesthetic fatigue. I will also pay attention to changing some other writing methods in future competitions. Thank you for your support and reminders!

One last thing, will this game have a winners' stage, about 2-3 chapters?

[In the world of Uma Musume, you need to keep running and win the game to get the chips to go home. ]

[Of course, I am not a devil, I will provide some help to the host]

"for example?"

【For example, providing all support except for help. 】

"?"

"Do you want to see what you're talking about?"

[Just kidding, to lighten the atmosphere. I learned this from a local master of bad jokes.]

[Ding Dong, the sticker system has been activated. ]

[Close contact with Uma Musume can gain corresponding skills and pts]

[The higher the favorability, the higher the probability of acquiring skills]

"Wait, what is this?"

Chapter 232 The next to arrive on the battlefield is Takarazuka Kinen

[Emperor of the East Sea! Stardust Illusion! Emperor of the East Sea! Stardust Illusion! Emperor of the East Sea! Stardust Illusion! ]

……

[This classic triple crown matchup is beyond doubt! Stardust Illusion wins big!!!]

……

The girl who sank to the bottom of the lake gradually floated up.

Consciousness began to slowly become clear.

Stardust Illusion opened his still heavy eyelids and spoke subconsciously:

(Ah… an unfamiliar ceiling.)

Looking at the incandescent light above her head, she was a little stunned and wanted to turn her head, but she found that her neck was completely fixed by something and she couldn't move at all.

The tip of my nose moved slightly, and I smelled a familiar smell of disinfectant. Is this... a ward?

(Arriving at the ward felt like coming home.)

After Stardust Illusion realized where he was, he felt a little relieved. After all, he had lain here many times, and with the help of the data provided by the system, he didn't have to worry about any sequelae to his body.

Even if you suffer various injuries, you will be able to recover quickly after being sent to the hospital. It is not an exaggeration to say that the hospital is your rebirth point.

However, just as he was about to check whether his body had recovered, the scene before he fainted appeared in his mind.

I remember that it was on the last straight line of the stadium that I had a final fight with the Emperor of the East China Sea...

There, he awakened an ability called Top Clear Mind, completely integrated the skills he had mastered so far, and rushed forward to fight the emperor until the last moment.

In the last moment before rushing to the finish line, the Emperor of the East China Sea even burst out with even stronger strength again. For this reason, he had to force himself to leap forward, relying on this leap to fight for even the slightest advantage in winning.

But what happened next... ?

The emperor who fought with me to the end...disappeared...?

But the host announced... that there was a gap of 6 horse lengths between him and the emperor who was in second place?

What is this...

Things that I don’t understand keep happening one after another.

This doubt was pushed to its peak but then stopped abruptly, forcing the Stardust Illusion to fall into silence.

The girl maintained her stunned look and tried to move her body.

However, this time, it seemed that because the leap was too chaotic, she was wrapped more tightly than ever before.

Not only was her neck fixed, but her hands and feet seemed to be all wrapped in bandages and sealed with plaster, leaving her no room to move at all.

(This is bad...)

Stardust Illusion, who originally wanted to find someone to ask, sighed helplessly.

"Are you awake?"

Then, as if she heard a sigh, a voice came from behind the curtain.

A hand hidden under the sleeve lifted the bed curtain, revealing the horse girl in a white coat, looking at him with interest.

Love Tachyon.

"Anyway, congratulations first, Stardust Illusion."

"You won the Gaoyue Sho, the battle among the 18 strongest runners of the classic year. Even the Emperor of the East Sea seemed to stand still in front of you when you burst out with that kind of pace in the final sprint."

Airihazuko seemed to be in a good mood. She waved her sleeves and patted her chest several times, then sat on the bed and continued:

"How do you feel now? You are the biggest topic in the Japanese horse racing girl world right now."

"Toyama Scarlet is going to stop those paparazzi now... and your wings."

Suzuko stretched out his sleeve and pinched the thigh of Stardust Illusion on the hospital bed.

Ah, has he fully recovered?

Feeling the powerful rebound of the muscles coming from under the bandages, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Sure enough, even if that power is overdrawn to this extent, can it still descend upon you?

"What do wings mean... Never mind, let's not talk about that for now. Quickly, help me remove these bandages. My body has recovered."

Stardust Illusion struggled to get up from the bed, but too many restraints prevented her from even lifting her body, so she could only open her mouth to ask for help.

"By the way, how much time has passed now? I haven't missed the winner's stage, right? What about the others... How far did I win? How is the Emperor of the East Sea?!"

Ai Ruihako just smiled and stretched out her sleeves to gently cover her face when the girl in front of her asked for help.

"Okay, okay, I can't answer so many questions at once, calm down~"

The white coat worn by this lazy girl doesn't seem to be anything special, but when the sleeves cover her face, they also hide her eyes.

Stardust Illusion naturally felt the fabric rubbing against her ears and temples. The cool touch of the delicate fabric and the faint fragrance that entered her nose made her a little addicted...

Just as she was thinking this, a slender hand stretched out from her sleeve and carefully stroked her face:

"Ahh, Stardust... Stardust Illusion~"

There seemed to be some emotion in Tachyon's voice.

The finger gently brushed the edge of Stardust Illusion's mouth, the movement was as gentle as if stroking fragile porcelain, and the perfect warmth covered her somewhat dry lips, pulling her to open her mouth -

Stardust Illusion hadn't figured out what was going on yet, so he could only ask stiffly:
