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

Chapter 52: Confession of the Revue!

What--!

What's this--!!!

The pink-haired horse girl, Digital Ai Li, stood in the crowd, staring blankly at the figure on the stage.

She subconsciously touched her throat with her hands, trying to relieve the feeling of suffocation in this way, but she was completely unable to do anything.

The shining performer on the stage had completely locked everything about her.

Ai Li Digital only felt that the control over her body had been taken away by the other party, and she had completely become a puppet of Miss Stardust Illusion...

How can she be so handsome and beautiful!!!

Aili Digital realized that she was almost fainting just by looking at the winner's stage of this level.

At first, she was just looking forward to what kind of performance it would be.

As a deep fan of horse racing girls, Ai Li Digital's favorite thing is the scene where various horse racing girls shine.

She may not say she has watched all the live performances of the horse racing ladies, but at least she has watched most of them as long as she can find the video footage.

Before the lights came on, Aili Digital even had time to talk to the staff member next to him about what song might be played next.

"It should be the legend of the jumping horse, right? This song is the easiest because it is the most popular."

As Ai Li Digital said this, the sound of the headlights lighting up came to my ears:

【Dang! 】

【Thump! 】

"Just... run out."

The moment she heard the singing, Aili Digital was stunned in astonishment.

Just because this song was definitely not any winner's live performance she had ever heard.

The clear but slightly hoarse voice of the contestant on the stage was not outstanding, but it complemented the concise and bright style of the song perfectly, as if this song was born for her.

Is this the new Live?

Is this a track exclusive to Stardust Vision? !

Countless lights lit up at this moment, turning into a star-studded road evenly spread on both sides of the singer.

Like a servant kneeling on the ground to welcome the king, she was led from the high platform in the center of the stage to the front.

“Look, you can hold it in your hand.”

"That ticket to tomorrow that was once let go!"

The entire stage was enveloped in light blue light, as if a breeze was blowing, and finally gathered on her raised right hand.

As the song resounded, the big screen at the deepest part of the stage suddenly lit up.

The images that flashed by behind the stardust illusion were something most viewers had never seen.

It was the Stardust Vision, something she had seen as a runner.

She has failed and she has suffered.

In a corner where no one was paying attention, tears were flowing freely because of losing the game.

At the training ground in the early morning, I vomited profusely because I couldn't hold on any longer in order to run one more 200m sprint.

In each race, he gradually ran faster and faster, letting the strong wind blow on his face, and took victory back into his pocket.

At this moment, Aili Digital was completely certain that this was definitely not an ordinary live performance. The images and the singing were completely integrated together. This was...

This is the Stardust Vision, the song of this runner, this runner who once failed but is getting stronger, announcing his existence to everyone!

Alice Digital couldn't help but shout out in a low voice, wanting to vent the irrepressible ecstasy in her heart: "You are very unwilling to lose to the Emperor of the East China Sea, right?! That's why you are like this!"

"You have put in so much effort to stand on the same field and stage with her again..."

"Run, sing...I want to compete with her for the title of winner again!"

“This is not a winner’s show at all.”

“This is what you want to show to all the audience, all the horse girls, and the Emperor of the East China Sea today… This is your unique Stardust Illusion—”

"——Confession Revue!"

"I understand (wagalimas)!"

----------------

"Is this... the original winner's stage?"

The Emperor of the East China Sea stood at the nearest part of the audience, looking up at the stardust illusion on the stage.

But as the stage unfolded, her face began to gradually turn red, her ears began to sway back and forth, and the ponytail behind her also began to swing back and forth, and she couldn't calm down.

Looking at the Stardust illusion being performed in front of him and the scene behind her, the emperor was deeply shaken:

"Stardust...? Is that me? And everyone, what does this mean..."

Her mood at this moment also became complicated, and she began to hear the meaning in the clear singing.

That was the stardust illusion accusing my former self of being a failure.

That was me who had lost to her in the debut battle.

As the scenes unfolded page by page in front of him, the emperor understood for the first time the feelings of his opponent.

It turns out that even she, who always looks like nothing can defeat her, has ever cried because of losing a game?

Is this why, will she declare a challenge to herself after that victory stage?

The mood of this song is not very exciting, but it is definitely not sad either. It seems like a positive runner is just announcing that he will continue to work hard tomorrow.

The Emperor of the East China Sea could feel that sunny and confident feeling. Only the emotions expressed from the heart of Stardust Illusion could make this song so moving.

She is showing her most vulnerable side to everyone...

Stardust Illusion uses this method to get everyone present to face up to their past failures, giving her the courage to take the first step tomorrow.

This is a song for myself alone.

Xingchen is telling herself through her singing that she will stand on the stage of the Classic Triple Crown and completely grasp the vast world that belongs only to the winner in her own hands!

She is challenging herself!

The Emperor of the East China Sea thought secretly in his heart.

However, just as he thought of this, the emperor discovered that his share of the picture on the big screen was getting bigger and bigger.

Not only yourself on the field, but all the scenes seen by the Stardust Illusion will be displayed to everyone.

It can even be seen that while she was running in the next two games, she kept thinking of the emperor who had defeated her...

“This, this this this this this this this!!!”

With a loud bang, the Emperor of the East China Sea's entire face turned red, as if he had been boiled.

A picture flashed on the screen, showing her communicating with the Stardust illusion in the ward.

The emperor's mind immediately began to involuntarily recall the album that Aili Digital had mysteriously shown her after Stardust Illusion left...

No way? !

Could it be that Stardust is really——

"What is she doing, idiot! Why does she keep showing my footage?!"

"Don't look! Don't... let anyone look at me anymore!"

----------------

Chapter 53: Position Zero!

At this moment, the Stardust Illusion standing on the stage did not know that because she was not familiar with the stage equipment, the images flashing through her mind were flashing one by one on the big screen behind her.

She was still immersed in the performance.

“As I walked out of the station, the setting sun came into view.”

"The orange afterglow blurred my sight, quietly shining on my falling tears..."

"There's always a voice in my heart telling me that this is where I belong."

The voice in my heart that told me that giving up was the right thing to do, the voice in my head that told me that it would be easier if I stopped.

"Running among the crowd, striving upward and forward."

"I realized that I had been trying to be strong since I didn't know when."

The stardust illusion sang softly, and memories of the past kept flowing.

Since her debut, the scenes of herself walking through them were exactly the back of her pursuing victory even if she had to be stubborn.

She slowly stepped back from the audience, step by step returning to the original high platform, with her hands tightly clasped in front of her, as if she was gathering great power, and even the lights gradually dimmed...

"As long as I can run out--"

"—Look, it's in your hand!"

"That ticket to tomorrow that you once missed!"

The next moment, all the stage lighting facilities suddenly shone, and colorful beams of light gathered in the girl's hands, and then bloomed into the most gorgeous and dazzling flowers:

"Let's start from here and start again!"

“To realize my dream, reset again!”

Stardust Illusion, who was singing with all her might, suddenly felt the ends of her hair swaying slightly, and the cape on her back began to shake as well.

From nowhere, the wind began to blow on this stage that belonged only to her.

The headwind blowing in the face seemed to be trying to blow the stardust illusion off the steps.

But she was not affected at all. She scattered the flowers made of light in her hands toward the audience. She stepped firmly on the steps one by one, and then stood in the center of the highest stage.

This is her place, the C position of the unique winner.

Now, there was only one thing Stardust Illusion had to do: sing loudly, pouring all her feelings at the moment into the song and letting everyone know her true meaning.

Ai Li Digital did not feel wrong. At this moment, she was not performing for others as a winner.

Stardust Illusion is a horse girl, telling everyone who looks at her everything about herself!

This is her, the confessional Revue!

----------------

Below the stands, the symbol of Rudolf was looking at the singing girl on the stage with admiration on his face.

The lights are constantly changing according to the thoughts of Stardust Illusion, and the stage rises and falls in line with the atmosphere of the singing.

She had thought that the other party's performance might go wrong like what happened to Oguruma or Special Week, because there had never been any information about Stardust Illusion undergoing any stage training.

However, seeing her so engrossed in her performance, Rudolph couldn't help but chuckle silently, feeling a little helpless about his previous worries.

Yes, as long as she is willing to express herself, how can the horse girl not shine standing on the winner's stage?

Different from other Umamusumes who focus on singing, dancing and performing like idols.

Stardust Illusion was the most adept contestant Rudolph had ever seen at using stage equipment.

Everything on this stage seemed to help her express herself.

The singing voice of Stardust Illusion, which was not particularly outstanding to begin with, was rendered like a breeze blowing across the faces of every listener, making them involuntarily immersed in the song.

With Rudolph's eyes, she could clearly see every expression of the Stardust Illusion on the stage.

Even when she was singing and sharing her past failures with everyone, there was no confusion in her eyes. Those were the burning eyes that only appeared when one completely understood what she desired now.

This song is neither cheerful nor passionate, but it is just like jogging in the wilderness, with the breeze on your face, the air fresh all around, and the birds singing in your ears. Even Rudolph can't help but feel a little intoxicated by it.
