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

The Stardust Illusion turned around, rested his head on the edge of the bed, and looked at the girl curled up in the quilt.

She opened her mouth slightly and called the other person's name softly:

"emperor."

Looking at the face of the Stardust Illusion that was so close to him and feeling the hot breath she exhaled blowing on his face, the heart of the Emperor of the East China Sea trembled slightly.

The two people, whose cheeks were almost touching, fell silent for a moment. It seemed that the only sound that could be heard in the whole room was the pounding heartbeat of the Emperor of the East China Sea.

“…What, what happened?”

The Emperor of the East China Sea, who could not stand this atmosphere, opened his mouth and spoke reluctantly.

She swallowed and felt her mouth strangely dry.

"…Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Stardust Illusion replied softly.

She looked at the opponent in front of her and thought of the animation she watched in her original world.

The successive fractures of the East China Sea Emperor shattered her hopes time and time again.

Everyone only remembers the miraculous resurrection of the phoenix.

Who else can truly understand what this girl felt before that?

Thinking of this, Stardust Illusion couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the other person became more gentle.

"I...I, I, I don't have much pressure!"

The emperor looked into the pair of blood-red eyes before him.

That watery gaze made her stammer in her response.

"I will fight you, Emperor, in these three games. But on the other hand, I don't want you to force yourself to train beyond your capacity just for this kind of thing."

"Your legs are too fragile. If something unexpected happens, you will most likely lose the chance to participate in these three games..."

At this point, Stardust Illusion's tone also became low:

"I don't want to... not see you, the Emperor, at any game."

"I want to fight you, I want to run with you."

"If you feel like you have to train like crazy for yourself, change your mindset."

"..."

She could also feel the concern from the bottom of the heart of the Emperor of the East China Sea when he looked at the stardust illusion in front of him.

The emperor opened his mouth slightly and did not continue to refute, but asked honestly:

"What idea?"

"Just think of it as being for me... not for yourself, but for me who is looking forward to these three duels!"

"Emperor, you must not be unable to play. Is this the agreement with me?"

Stardust Illusion said this, extending his right fist towards the girl in front of him.

"..."

"Is it necessary to say this? Even I know that I should take good care of my body."

The emperor grumbled but nodded.

She stretched out her right hand from under the quilt and bumped fists with the stardust illusion in front of her.

"Are you satisfied now? You said it so seriously... Anyway, the Emperor will do his best to defeat you, Xingchen!"

"Then I'll be relieved."

After receiving the other party's assurance, Stardust Illusion laughed.

She stood up from the edge of the bed again, walked to the window in front of the table, looked at the moon in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The moonlight today seems to be quite beautiful?"

“……………………”

"... If you can put down the cake in your hand, Xingchen, I will assume that you are really admiring the moonlight."

The emperor in the bed was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.

She simply curled up in the quilt and complained in a muffled voice.

"Haha, I'm a little hungry after coming back so late. Plus, this is something you, the Emperor, prepared with great difficulty... Anyway, I'll go to sleep after I finish eating, so you should rest first!"

Stardust Illusion no longer pretended, and sat down at the table, picking up the cake and honey drink and eating them in big mouthfuls.

This taste is indeed very sweet.

Chapter 129: Recruitment from a Prominent Family

"Stardust Illusion, come and be my child!"

"Are you the Four Emperors of Pirates, Whitebeard, the strongest in the world? Take a look at the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?"

Stardust Illusion looked at the prominent family in front of him and replied unhappily.

Today, she also went to the gym with Bourbon for strength-enhancing training under the leadership of the prominent family.

But after practicing for less than half an hour, the French tyrant suddenly made this nonsensical request.

"I mean, do you want to become my disciple as well?"

The noble family didn't care about the other party's complaints. She turned around and explained the next moves to be practiced to Miura Bourbon.

Then, he turned back to the Stardust Illusion and continued:

"These days, I have been guiding you in strength training. You should be feeling the effects, right?"

When it comes to this topic, Stardust Illusion could only nod obediently.

As she has the system panel, she can of course see the recent changes in strength and endurance attributes.

A specially formulated plan by the French research team, coupled with personal guidance from world-class noble families, corrects every mistake.

Thanks to this, the strength and endurance of Stardust Illusion have been greatly improved in recent days.

"Do you want more assistance?" The prominent family smiled brightly and proposed a tempting plan:

"As long as you are willing to become my disciple, not only can you continue to receive the benefits of this kind of training, but I can also arrange for major European players to have training matches with you."

"You know, the level of horse girls in Europe is generally higher than that in Japan. With your terrifying growth potential, you will learn a lot in every competition, right?"

"And you called yourself the king in the previous open tournament, right? It's hard to learn from a tyrant like me how to behave like a king..."

Looking at the prominent family who began to list various favorable conditions and talk eloquently, Stardust Illusion was silent for a moment.

Even she understood what the other party meant.

She didn't just want to take in a disciple, she wanted to take herself directly to France and make a new debut there as a disciple of a prominent family.

To be honest, the temptation is very great.

It is not only about being able to continue to receive personal training from players of the Wangzu level, but more importantly, it is about being able to experience all the strong players from all over the world.

After all, as a prominent family, it is not impossible to go to other countries for exchanges and studies like we are doing now.

but……

"I already have a master."

Stardust Illusion said, giving an apologetic smile.

"?"

The prominent family was a little surprised when she heard this. She expected that Stardust Illusion might not agree to the conditions so easily, and might even directly refuse.

However, this reason for rejection was something the prominent family had never thought of.

Does Stardust Illusion have a master? I haven't heard the trainer say that...

"Who is your master?"

she asked tentatively.

"It's the little chestnut hat!"

Stardust Illusion recalled the two running methods he had mastered and answered without hesitation.

Although she and Oguruma have never talked about this relationship, Stardust Illusion has always regarded the other as her teacher.

This is not only because she has been training side by side with Oguruma for so long, nor is it because the first running method she mastered was the [Miracle Runner of Holy Night].

More importantly, the extremely strong attitude that Oguruma displayed at the Arima Memorial has been deeply imprinted in Stardust Illusion's heart.

That kind of running power that transcended the field was something she had never seen in anyone else.

That is God’s scenery.

Stardust Illusion had already made up her mind. No matter what the cost, she wanted to touch the power of that realm once.

Therefore, her master must be Oguruma.

“……” The prominent family was also silent for a moment.

She had heard about Oguruma and had also seen the video of the Arima Memorial.

But if there really are skills that transcend the realm, then it is absolutely impossible to record them with a videotape.

If you want to see something of that level, you have to experience it yourself.

Therefore, the prominent family is unable to determine the true strength of this little chestnut hat.

But what we know is that her plan could not be carried out from the very beginning - after all, other people already have masters, so how could she accept a disciple?

"Then let's not talk about the disciple, how about just naturalizing in the French Academy?"

The prominent family spoke again and tried to persuade.

"The above conditions can remain unchanged... and you also know that Zhuo Fu really wants to continue to be with you."

"If you can go back to France with her, you can train together every day, and the competitions can continue. Then, you can become the twin stars of France. Both rivals and close friends."

"On the contrary, if you hadn't gone together, then maybe the only chance for us to meet again would be at the Japan Cup."

Stardust Illusion did not refute the words of the noble family, even though she had already decided to challenge the Arc de Triomphe sooner or later.

She shook her head and replied:

"There's nothing I can do about it. The most important thing is... I've already made an appointment with someone. I have to compete with her in the Classic Triple Crown."

"Is it the Emperor of the East Sea?"

The prominent family also had an impression of this child. Although the other party only came to train for one day, she also paid attention to the runner's skills.

It can be said that the emperor's body flexibility has reached the top level. If we only talk about the flexibility of his legs, he even exceeds Zhuo Fu.

She also knew that this child had the potential to become the target of Stardust Illusion's nemesis.

"…First come first served?"

The prominent family sighed exaggeratedly, "I didn't expect that my Zhuo Fu would lose in such a place?"

"Didn't you not allow Zhuo Fu to communicate too much with me before?"

Stardust Illusion looked at the noble family who inexplicably looked like a pimp and asked helplessly.

"Of course. Zhuo Fu is the most talented child I have ever seen. There is no way she would be fooled by a guy like you and stay in Neon."

"Oh, no wonder you told me this. Are you planning to take me away with you so that it won't affect Zhuo Fu?"

"Of course." The prominent family nodded as a matter of course.

"But Stardust Illusion... your potential is another reason. Since you can beat Zhuo Fu in the training match, it means that you are at least on the same level as her."

“If we take you with us, it would be great to add two runners with world-class potential to France at once.”

The prominent family did not shy away from expressing their thoughts.
