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

Stardust Illusion shouted while panting. She could clearly hear Miura Bourbon behind her also panting a little, so she wanted to convince the other party.

"The Master's orders are absolute."

Miura Bourbon answered, no emotion in her voice.

Moreover, taking advantage of the moment when the Stardust Illusion slowed down because of what he said, Miura Bourbon suddenly stomped on the ground, and the whole person flew directly into the air and pounced on the back of the Stardust Illusion!

"I f—"

Stardust Illusion had never expected that the other party would dare to do such an extremely dangerous thing while running at a speed of more than 60km/h.

He froze in place for a moment, only having time to fall to the side, and with him, Miura Hōbon, who had grabbed his waist by a flying pounce, fell diagonally forward into the stream!

Pfft!Pfft!

Soon after two crisp sounds of falling into the water were heard, the soaked Miura Bourbon climbed onto the shore dragging the equally soaked Stardust Illusion.

"I was wrong Bourbon, can you please let me go?"

Stardust Illusion said weakly as he lay on the shore.

She had never expected that the horse racing girl in front of her could be so desperate. Not only did she dare to dive directly at full speed, but even when both of them fell into the water, Bourbon held on to her tightly, and it was obvious that she was unwilling to let go.

She struggled in the river for a long time but finally decided to give up resistance to avoid drowning in such a small river.

"The Master's orders are absolute." In the face of Stardust Illusion's plea for mercy, Bourbon Miura still behaved like T1000 who was carrying out a mission. He answered with a cold face, and then carried Stardust Illusion on his back and walked back.

"I'm really scared of you..."

The Stardust Illusion who was being carried thought carefully and realized that the opponent would never make things difficult for him in front of the Emperor and Oguruma, so he simply started to move, adjusted to a comfortable position, and let Miura Bourbon carry him back to the training field.

"Pfft! Hahahahaha! Little girls, did you two take some time out to take a shower?"

In the arena, old man Liu Ping was the first to notice them and immediately burst into laughter.

At this moment, Rokuhei Ginjiro was already standing next to the trainer named Toyama Scarlet. Oguri, Kikuo, Rudolph, and Suruga Tetsuna were all standing with them on the stands next to the stadium, seemingly ready to watch the game. The horse racing girls who were participating in the competition were also standing at the starting line, ready to set off at any time.

Looking at the two seats they consciously left empty, it was clear that they were just waiting for the Bourbon and Stardust illusion to pass.

"What the hell is going on here that Bourbon has to capture me, Trainer Toyama."

Stardust Illusion smoothed his wet hair, scattering the water droplets all over the ground, and asked the woman with a helpless look on his face.

"You must be Stardust Illusion, right?" Toyama Crimson asked without looking up from the tablet in his hand, as if he was checking some information. "Prepare to run a training match so I can see the situation."

"You didn't even know if I was a Stardust illusion, and you asked Bourbon to catch me?! She just pounced at me at sprint speed, do you know how dangerous that was?!"

The Stardust Illusion that was put down by Bourbon quickly explained what had just happened. It wouldn't be dangerous if she dodged the flying attack, but Miura Bourbon might be injured.

"It's okay." Facing Stardust Illusion's complaints, the woman remained calm. "I've already asked Bourbon to make not getting hurt her first priority today, so even if she sees any dangerous behavior, she'll be fine."

"Okay, okay, Stardust Illusion, this Toyama Scarlet is the trainer I introduced to you. You like basic training, right? Toyama is the trainer with the strongest basic training ability in all of Tresen." Old Man Liuping took out a towel to wipe the water droplets off the heads of the two horse girls, and then comforted them.

"It's her?!"

Stardust Illusion was full of resistance to this mature-looking woman. He let Bourbon catch him the first time they met. Is this kind of trainer really reliable? !

"Trust me." Liu Ping half-persuaded and half-persuaded Miura Bourbon and Stardust Illusion to go into the locker room, then stood at the door and continued to speak through it:

"The little girl Toyama is very capable. You can try following her first. If you really don't like her, you can still find Rudolph to replace her. How do you think?"

"She's really messing around, isn't she?! Can't she just say nicely that she wants me to participate in the training match to see how it goes?"

Standing in the dressing room with Miura Bourbon, Stardust Illusion complained as he took off his wet clothes and changed into the brand new sportswear prepared in the dressing room.

Just as she was about to go out, she found that Miura Bourbon was still standing there with water dripping from his body, with no intention of changing his clothes.

"Hey, aren't you going to change your clothes? You have a training match soon, how are you going to run in wet clothes?"

Stardust Illusion asked.

"The Master did not order a change of clothing." Bourbon stood there in a daze, answering with an indifferent expression.

"Tsk - you won't do anything unless that woman orders you to? This is too much trouble. Hurry up and change your clothes. She said she wanted us to participate in the training match, didn't she?"

Seeing that Miura Bourbon still didn't move, Stardust Illusion simply reached out and took off her clothes. Miura Bourbon didn't intend to resist, and just let the other party change her into new sportswear piece by piece.

"There's no need to be so cyber?"

The helpless Stardust Illusion led Miura Bourbon out of the locker room, looked at the female trainer and asked, "Hey, Toyama Scarlet, is it okay that I changed Bourbon's clothes?"

"..."

The woman did not answer immediately. She just looked up at the two people holding hands thoughtfully, and then explained in a much better tone: "Bourbon has been like this since he was a child. It would be great if you could take care of him... Now he comes to participate in the training match. Everyone has been waiting for a long time."

"Tsk - do we still have to run a race after all?" Stardust Illusion secretly complained in his heart as he and Bourbon arrived in front of the track.

Standing on her left and right are Sakura Shin-oh, who is excited and silently chanting "Bang Jin Bang Jin!", and Dataku Taiyoshin, who is smiling brightly and dressed like a hot girl...

If you're going to run, then win it - run from the beginning to the end!

"Everyone prepare yourself!"

"1400m, grass field, counterclockwise, short distance training race - start!"

[Skill: Concentration], activated.

[Skill: Non-standard distance o], activate.

[Skill: Counterclockwise o], activate.

boom!

The twelve horse girls rushed out at the same time, and Stardust Illusion, who chose to take the lead again, slammed the ground with her foot!

[Skill: Earth Solid], activate!

Let me show you my escape!

Stardust Illusion accelerated to an extremely fast level in an instant. She knew very well that short-distance races required more acceleration in the early stages than ordinary races, so she fully unleashed her full strength from the very beginning.

To lead and release, just lead and release!

However, just as she was about to adjust her breathing and maintain her speed, she suddenly heard the hurried footsteps of several people behind her.

"Hahaha, you run pretty fast! Where are you from? What's your zodiac sign?"

On the left, the Sun God Datuo took one step at a time, followed the Stardust Illusion at full speed with a smile on his face.

"Explode! Explode! Sakura blood, help me win!!!"

Sakura Shinou on the right was also completely in a frenzy, following closely with blazing flames in his eyes.

"The Master has already ordered that this time we will be running in the lead."

The cyber horse girl Miura Bourbon was not far behind the others. With her precise running method that left no traces, she followed closely from the outside...

In the opening race, which was less than 200 meters away from the start, the four escaped horses had already entered into a fierce battle. This was the cruel battlefield of the lead!

At this moment, Stardust Illusion has already seized the lead with the Earth-solidifying skill, which is essential for a runaway horse, but the three leading horse girls behind her are not far behind and are following closely behind.

"Damn it - why are there so many leading horses?!"

As soon as she entered the first bend, she felt something was wrong.

The three people behind her were too close to her. If she tried to use the shrinking ground technique to force her way through the curve, she would most likely violate the rules by driving diagonally and interfering with the race of others, and might even cause accidents to other horse girls.

But if she doesn't use the technique of shrinking the earth, it will be difficult for her to maintain this slight advantage in the lead. What should she do?

There were horse girls pressing on him from both the right and left sides, so even if he wanted to turn normally, it would be very restricted—

This unprecedented situation made Stardust Illusion unable to think of how to deal with it for a moment. However, while she was hesitating, the other three people had already surpassed her with their skilled cornering skills by only slowing down slightly.

Fourth place!

She looked at the three figures in front of her and gritted her teeth secretly. As a runaway horse, she was actually overtaken by so many horse girls? !

"hateful!"

As soon as he stepped out of the corner, Stardust Illusion wanted to overtake and get back to the first position again.

However, at this moment, an insurmountable wall suddenly appeared in front of her.

The three horse girls in front seemed to have discussed it in advance and lined up in a row when they came out of the bend, forming an impenetrable artificial barrier. If she wanted to break through by force, she could only bypass the three of them and try from the outside road.

But this time the competition was only a short-distance race of 1400 meters. Stardust Illusion thought he didn't have that much spare time, so he relied on his physical strength to turn to the outer road and give chase.

What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? !

As she ran, her brain raced, recalling all the running experiences in her memory and trying to find a solution.

But as a escape horse, she was always ahead of others. Even if she was overtaken by others at a certain period of time, there was only one person ahead of her.

I have never encountered a situation like this where even my running path is blocked.

This is no longer a case of a fleeing horse. Only a horse that moves ahead will encounter this situation... Wait, a horse that moves ahead?

Speaking of pioneers, there is more than one strong one in the running memory...

Stardust Illusion thought of this, looked at the backs of the three people in front of him and the race that was almost halfway through, and suddenly lowered his head -

【Start right there! 】

……

"Stardust Illusion is not used to its current position. She can't find the pursuit route."

Xiao Limao, who had found two large bowls of fried noodles from somewhere and started eating, commented while sitting in the stands.

"Haha, she has been running away and suddenly meets three people trying to release her. It's inevitable that she will be at a loss." Old Man Liuping didn't seem to care much and laughed at the side.

"If it were me, I would follow behind Sakura Shinou and wait for an opportunity with the help of the slipstream, because she has the least experience, and even if she wants to form a human wall, she can't do it as perfectly as the other two." Oguruma made a judgment after watching the game.

As a horse racing girl who mainly runs ahead, she has encountered the current situation countless times. She has even been surrounded by more than a dozen people in the race. Naturally, she is experienced and could see the flaw at a glance.

"It depends on whether Stardust Illusion can wake up." Old Man Liuping said with a smile as he looked at Toyama Feihong who was quickly recording various data on the tablet beside him, and then continued to turn his attention to the game.

……

Stardust Illusion followed behind the three people, silently calculating the remaining race in her mind. Her running style at this moment was very different from usual, but with every step she took, she subconsciously adjusted her posture.

Oguruma and the Emperor of the East China Sea, every move of the two people while running was revived from memory and was quickly absorbed into their own movements by the stardust illusion.

Even though her current posture was still a little weird, Stardust Illusion had clearly felt that running like this not only saved energy, but also allowed her to enjoy the wake of the leader in front of her.

And more importantly, we’re getting there!

Do you think that since I can’t take the lead, I have no strength to fight?

A breeze blew by at this moment, blowing up the bangs on Stardust Illusion's forehead, revealing her eyes that seemed to be burning with flames.

850m…800m…780m——

——777m!

Holy Night's Miracle Runner, Start!

“Explode!!!!”

Sakura Shinou was still running wildly while gritting her teeth and shouting. Today was her first time competing with other horse girls. Shinou had no idea how to allocate her energy and she was sprinting at full speed from the very beginning.

Although the Sakura family's strong physical fitness supported her all the way here, it was still her limit!

Damn it, I’m almost out of strength——huh?!

The sudden creepy feeling from behind made Sakura Shinou release the last breath he had been holding.

Her movements suddenly softened, and she screamed, "Oyster!" and fell further and further into the crowd.

However, before Otaku Taiyoshin, who succeeded Shinou as the leading horse girl, could feel the overwhelming momentum, he also felt the overwhelming momentum!

What the hell?! How could such a momentum appear in a training match!?

She wailed in her heart, and the breeze that was originally blowing on her face seemed to suddenly turn into a strong wind in the opposite direction, preventing the horse racing girl from taking a step or swinging her arms.
