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

I really should let Teacher Neiqia, who has been scolding me all the time, take a good look at this scene, huh!

Twin Turbine, which was already more than an hour late, seemed to regard Stardust Illusion's diligence as its own glory, and inexplicably stood there proudly.

After Stardust Illusion finished its run with Bourbon again, he dragged his tired body to sit aside and let Super Stream start to help massage his leg muscles.

Looking at Super Stream's delighted expression as she hugged her calves, I might have thought she had a leg fetish - of course, Stardust Illusion also understood that she just liked the feeling of taking care of people.

She waved her hand and called the twin-turbo that she had discovered a long time ago to her side, and asked the girl who was looking at her with a silly smile to sit down.

"Master, good morning~!!!"

A lively greeting came out of the blue idiot's mouth.

Under the inquiring eyes of Stardust Illusion, Twin Turbine grinned and took out two oil-paper bags from his arms and handed one over:

"Master, would you like some meat buns? This is Ta Pump's breakfast!"

"…You should eat it yourself."

"Master, come and have one too!"

"I've had breakfast."

Stardust Illusion still refused the meat bun's request. After all, after such intense exercise, suddenly eating oily, watery and starchy food would definitely cause vomiting.

In fact, this has been planned by Toyama Feihong several times.

This guy even once handed a bunch of fried chicken to Stardust Illusion, who had just exhausted himself from running, and then watched this big eater vomiting in a trash can for almost an hour because he felt nauseous from the oil!

However, looking at the blue-haired child in front of him eating the meat bun with a happy look on his face, Stardust Illusion also felt a little fuller.

After finishing the two meat buns, Twin Turbine waved his greasy hands, trying to find a place to wash them.

Turning around, he happened to see the scoreboard that Draco's team used to record and run training.

On it, chalk was used to record in detail today's results of Stardust Illusion, Bourbon, and Rice Bath.

"Eh? Master lost so many times?!"

The twin turbo is quite shocking.

In the past few days, Twin Turbine has watched the video of the Gaoyue Sho race countless times.

After studying for a period of time, Twin Turbine also learned a lot about running, and thus had a deeper understanding of Stardust Illusion's extraordinary performance.

But this realization feels strange—

"Master is invincible, and next he'll conquer the Neon Derby - so there must be something wrong!"

She made an exaggerated expression, showing her shark teeth, and announced this to everyone around her.

"Okay, okay, sit down and wipe your hands first."

Stardust Illusion rolled his eyes in annoyance and handed the towel over to Twin Turbine to wipe the grease off his hands first:

"This is just a parallel running training. The purpose is not to win or lose from the beginning."

"But shouldn't we run regardless of the consequences when escaping? Ta Pump has always followed your instructions, Master!"

Feeling that his strength had been restored a little, Stardust Illusion thanked Super Stream and stood up from his seat:

"That's why we need to strengthen ourselves in other ways, twin turbo."

"I have a lot of shortcomings, so I am far from being as invincible as you say."

"There's still more than a month until the derby that Twin Turbos mentioned, right? I calculated that if I start strengthening and running training from today, I estimate that I can complete about 1500 competitions."

“1, 1, 1500 games?!”

Hearing this number, the twin turbos were stunned.

Although she often made some nonsensical and even confusing sudden moves, she was speechless for a moment when she heard Stardust Illusion say numbers of this level.

Looking at the serious expression on Stardust Illusion's face, Twin Turbine even felt that these numbers were most likely the result of careful calculations by the master to come to this conclusion.

But, isn’t this too much?!

The memory of the twin-turbo suddenly brought back the scene of the first time running on the track with the Stardust Illusion.

She was so excited at that time, seeing her idol suddenly appear in front of her, leading her out of the siege and rushing to the finish line in a perfect escape posture.

That is an unprecedented situation.

Twin Turbos even felt that the Stardust Illusion at the time was already incredibly powerful.

"That's what the Great Escape is all about, twin turbo."

"If you really want to use this running style as your weapon, you must keep practicing it forever."

The look in those eyes told Twin Turbine that the Stardust Illusion was definitely not just teasing him as usual.

She was really teaching herself about the feeling of the great escape.

"..."

"I didn't say you want to do a double turbo like me, don't make that expression."

Stardust Illusion smiled and pinched Twin Turbine's right cheek, feeling the girl's smooth skin and gently pulling it.

Of course she knew why the blue-haired kid had such a bitter face.

With such a huge amount of training as mine, even a fool would know that it is impossible to complete it, right?

For the Twin Turbos, completing the team's daily training in an orderly manner every day is a rare thing.

She would often cause trouble and run away because of minor disagreements, causing great headaches for trainer Minamisaka.

Chapter 245 Reach out to the little stars and hold the little happiness

"But you have to practice hard."

The Stardust Illusion patted the girl's shoulder and spoke earnestly.

Although at the beginning, Twin Turbo just regarded her as his master.

But after such a long time, Stardust Illusion has almost acquiesced to this matter, otherwise he would not have taken the trouble to preach to this optimistic girl.

She had also heard about Twin Turbos behavior in the team, and knew that she was bent on making a big escape, so she often quarreled with Minamisaka - or was she unilaterally angry at Minamisaka who was trying to persuade her?

Neqia had complained to him more than once that this kid often disobeyed training requirements in the name of "Master said so".

Obviously, Trainer Minamisaka also wanted to specialize Twin Turbo's qualities in the escape mode, but Twin Turbo and she often had disagreements over this matter.

Of course, Necha also understood that Twin Turbo was not trying to avoid training, or that he had a problem with his attitude towards running.

To a greater extent, the twin-turbo has not yet figured out how to deal with the current situation where it insists on escaping but often fails completely due to reverse injection.

But, training is training.

Stardust Illusion looked at the confused girl in front of him, playing with her aqua blue hair with his fingers, feeling a little complicated.

For Uma Musume, there is absolutely no possibility of taking shortcuts to master the brilliance of a winner.

"Twin Turbo, have you ever felt regret during a race? That feeling of not giving it your all."

As he said this, Stardust Illusion showed a somewhat melancholy look on his face.

"After the debut competition, I had this thought... Not only because I didn't take a step forward at the last moment, but also because I regretted wasting half a year of time to become a master."

"If I really train hard the moment I start to become a master, and work hard to become stronger for my debut battle, then when I face the emperor, will my chances of winning be increased a little bit?"

"Master... do you feel the same way..."

Until now, the twin-turbo can no longer maintain that smile.

As Stardust Illusion spoke, she also remembered how she always messed up every time she tried to play well.

The only way to deal with the competition was to escape with a reckless escape, and finally completely lost momentum and fell to the last place.

"Of course, even now I am worried about this happening again."

"Although I have won the Gaoyue Award now, many people are supporting me - but what if I lose the next game?"

"This brilliance that seems to be in my hands will disappear in an instant like a mirage."

Very honest words were spoken by the Stardust Illusion.

She originally didn't want to share such deep feelings with Twin Turbine. After all, in the eyes of Stardust Illusion, neither she nor the other party was the sentimental type.

According to her style, if there is any problem, she just goes on stage and runs.

But according to Teacher Necha, Twin Turbine is unexpectedly a delicate and timid child, so more touching words are needed to wake her up.

The memory of the twin turbos resurfaced, and I suddenly remembered the training matches I had with my seniors on the team.

Of course, everyone was running according to the advice of Trainer Minamisaka, and I was no exception.

However, once it comes into close contact with any runner, the twin turbo will feel an indescribable discomfort.

It was as if I shouldn't be in this place at all.

So, the escape began.

So, reverse jet.

At that time, she didn't care too much about this happening. After all, escaping was the way her master, Stardust Illusion, used to run.

How could there be a problem?!

It’s not like everyone hasn’t seen the Stardust Illusion competition.

Twin Turbo also said the same thing to trainer Nanzaka at the time. She felt that there was no problem at all with her escape move and the reverse jet was just an accident.

but……

The twin turbos know that all these are just excuses.

In fact, she was afraid of getting close to other runners while running.

"Think about it carefully. Twin Turbine - Escape is not that simple. It requires full awareness and a lot of hard work before it can be perfected."

Stardust Illusion moved his body, feeling that the miracle that happens once every four hours has happened to him, and walked towards the runway again.

Having said that, I have tried my best.

If the twin turbo still doesn't make sense...

"——Then just watch me run."

Twin Turbo sat there blankly, looking at Stardust Illusion who had started training again.

The roar of those powerful legs and feet stepping on the grass was clearly reflected in the ears of the twin-turbo.

It is conceivable that Stardust Illusion will continue to carry out this level of training in the next month.

Every time after completing the parallel running training, Stardust Illusion would stop and carefully ask for the opinions of the trainers and teammates. Even if there was something he didn't understand, he would not refute it, but would remember it all in his mind.

For some reason, Minamisaka's smiling face appeared in front of me again.

At that time, she also smiled and introduced the purpose of each training, right?

Sometimes, the twin turbos don't want to always turn around and run away after just a few words with their teammates and trainers.

Faced with everyone's concern and inquiries, she didn't dare to go any further.

I can only run away like the Stardust Illusion on the field, leaving all the problems behind and not wanting to mention them again.

but……

The twin turbos also clearly knew that at the moment of the escape and collapse, their entire body felt as if it had completely fallen apart.

It was like taking a step forward and suddenly falling completely into an abyss, unable to get back up.

In fact, the twin-turbocharger didn’t quite understand why Stardust Illusion insisted on learning to run.

They are even continuing with the kind of training intensity that Teacher Neiqia calls the "self-abuse" level.

However, just watching the Stardust Illusion repeating the most boring parallel running, Miura Bourbon was willing to accompany her again and again.

Super Stream, like an older sister, was the first to hand out towels and drinks to everyone after they finished running.

Toyama Feihong took out the data she had just recorded and discussed the results of the parallel run in detail with everyone, striving to ensure that everyone could gain something.
