As a horse girl, I will never lose!

But at this moment, a dark blue flame appeared in Mi Yu's right eye, blowing up his bangs, revealing that cold and ruthless eye.

Absolutely invincible!

——【Fusion】start!

The terrifying gravity instantly sucked Mejiro McQueen's body. She watched in horror as her abilities were drained one by one, and even her physical strength began to decline.

Because the skill disappeared, her burst state was naturally lifted, so her speed suddenly plummeted.

Combined with the fact that Mi Yu was rapidly approaching from behind, the scene the audience saw looked like 'Mejiro McQueen' was moving backwards.

“Cross the finish line!”

"The winner is Mi Yu!"

The gap was half a marathon length, and Mi Yu came from behind to win the game.

'Mejiro McQueen' followed behind and finished second, but her face was full of disbelief.

[Chapter 169: Are you crying? ]

ended.

The competition, and her original dream, ended at this moment.

The nobleman's mission ended without being accomplished.

"I really want to keep Tenchun's trophy..."

Mejiro McQueen looked up at the endless blue sky.

There was a fluorescent flash in the corners of his eyes and sweat slid down his cheeks.

"In the end... I still failed."

Thinking of the power displayed by Mi Yu at the end, and the gravity that bound her at that time, she knew very well that her defeat this time was by no means an accident.

Even if the final difference in this competition is only half a horse length, the gap in strength between her and Mi Yu is definitely more than that.

Even if we compete again, the result will only be a matter of how much the gap is widened before the finish line.

"I can't help it. I handled this match perfectly, but she still defeated me fairly. I can only accept this defeat seriously."

She tried hard to suppress her urge to cry and took a few deep breaths before she managed to calm down.

After all, it is really hard to accept.

She was only one step away from realizing her dream, but before she could take this step, she said goodbye to her dream.

"We lost. There's really nothing we can do. Mi Yu has become even stronger." 'The Emperor of the East China Sea' walked up to her side.

She could understand McQueen's feelings at the moment very well.

If you want to say why.

Because her current mood is actually not much better than McQueen's.

In the end, she could only watch 'McQueen' drifting further and further away from her. It was a completely different feeling from when she lost to Mi Yu.

She has always regarded McQueen as a rival.

He believes that as long as he can defeat McQueen, who is equally powerful as him, he will be able to reach a higher level.

But in this competition, she felt that 'McQueen' was further away from her.

This discovery hit her hard.

If she hadn't seen McQueen being overtaken by Mi Yu later, she would probably still be deeply in self-doubt.

Right now, I'm just suppressing my emotions because I'm more worried about McQueen's situation.

"..."

The 'Emperor of the East Sea' saw something in the corner of 'McQueen's' eyes and asked in surprise, "Are you crying?"

In her impression, McQueen has always been a strong-willed and face-conscious young lady who would never show her lost look in public.

And this 'McQueen' couldn't control his emotions.

It can be seen what a heavy blow the failure of this game was to McQueen.

"No."

Mejiro McQueen turned his head away in denial.

"But you, your eyes are still red."

Even without careful observation.

It was obvious at a glance that the 'Emperor of the East Sea' had rubbed his eyes vigorously in order to hold back his tears.

"You're being long-winded. I'm just tired, not because I'm unwilling to lose to you."

The 'Emperor of the East China Sea' would naturally not admit such a thing.

She wouldn't cry just because she lost a game.

And this isn't the first time we've lost.

hateful!

But I still feel very unwilling.

Besides——

Who do you think I am feeling so unwilling about?

Although I do feel unwilling to lose to Mi Yu, I don't have this kind of mood.

Because that is the result of psychological preparation before the game starts.

What she couldn't accept was that she actually lost to 'McQueen'!

And it was a complete defeat that left nothing to say!

Thinking about how I had tried my best in the competition just now.

As a result, not only did he fail to catch up with McQueen, but he was also left behind by McQueen. The "Emperor of the East China Sea" could not help but want to escape from this place immediately.

But she couldn't do that now.

Because she knew very well that McQueen must be feeling worse than herself.

Now 'McQueen's' situation is as if he had lost before achieving the undefeated triple crown.

Although she had never experienced such a thing, she felt suffocated just by thinking about it.

"Lose to me?"

Mejiro McQueen looked at the Emperor in a strange way.

Because normally speaking, in this situation, it should be said that they all lost to Mi Yu.

But the words that the 'Emperor' blurted out subconsciously were that he lost to her.

The mood of 'Emperor' at this moment was because of his loss to her, not because of his loss to Mi Yu.

Thinking of this, McQueen felt a little funny.

I didn't expect that after failing, I could actually find some comfort from the 'Emperor'.

"Is that so? You feel unwilling because you lost to me."

She spoke slowly.

"But it's a given that you will lose to me in this match, because I have never doubted the possibility that I will lose to you in this match."

The 'Emperor' is very strong and is an opponent that he recognizes.

Their strength can be said to be on the same level.

But even if they are at the same level, it doesn’t mean that they will perform the same in a game.

The 'Emperor' is good at distances around 2400m, while I am even better at distances around 3000m.

As they have the same strengths, they will definitely have more advantages in their respective areas of expertise.

So in this game, although 'Mejiro McQueen' felt that 'The Emperor' was a threat to her, it was just a threat. She never thought that she would lose to the opponent.

The 'Emperor of the East Sea' could not understand this.

She believed that she was fully prepared and had overcome her own shortcomings, and would not lose to McQueen even in his area of ​​expertise.

But when the results came out, she found out that she had lost so much, so she felt overwhelmed and unable to accept it.

And hearing McQueen say this, she couldn't help herself and said seriously: "What did you say?!"

“This race is the distance I excel at!”

"What does it matter? I've been preparing for this game for so long!"

"Yes."

Mejiro McQueen did not deny the Emperor's efforts. She just said calmly: "You have been preparing for a long time, but didn't I work hard?"

"..."

The 'Emperor of the East China Sea' thought about his own special training, and he knew that the training intensity of 'McQueen' had never been lower than his own, and he was speechless for a moment.

"We are rivals. It won't be surprising who wins or loses, but I am more familiar with this track than you!"

"...You have a point, but..."

"No buts, or are you just that unable to lose?"

The retort that the 'Emperor of the East Sea' was about to make was killed by a question from 'Mejiro McQueen'.

Can't afford to lose?

me?

Although I would like to refute that this is not the case.

But the 'Emperor of the East China Sea' is very clear about how he feels right now.

Damn it, I am really hopeless.

"Also, don't you think it's a little too pathetic for two losers like us to discuss this here?"

'Mejiro McQueen' doesn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

This would cause her mood, which had just recovered with great difficulty, to collapse again.

"Right."

The 'Emperor of the East Sea' agreed.

She also felt that it would be bad to continue this topic.

But at this moment, 'Mejiro McQueen' took a look at the ranking list, and after seeing the ranking of 'Emperor of the East China Sea', he was surprised and curious.

"But 'Emperor', why did you fall so far behind?"

"...Didn't I say we wouldn't talk about this anymore?"

'The Emperor of the East Sea' shouted with a red face.

She couldn't say that she was emotionally devastated at the time and couldn't maintain her competitive form, right?

This truth cannot be told!

If I tell this kind of thing to others, McQueen will definitely laugh at me!

"Okay, but are you really okay? If you want to cry, it's better to cry. Don't worry about what I said before."

Upon hearing this, the 'Emperor of the East China Sea' recalled what 'McQueen' had said to him the day before the game: don't cry if you lose, and his face darkened for a moment.

"I won't cry. You are the one who really doesn't care. You are the one who is about to cry!"

"I don't know what you are talking about. I am the second place after all. If I cry, what will happen to the contestants below me?"
