At the starting line, after watching countless participants leave, Masamune turned and got into his car.

After he fastened his seatbelt, Mashiro, sitting in the passenger seat, slowly spoke:

"Shall we go to the finish line next?"

"It's too early, let's go in the afternoon. It's over forty kilometers, no one should be able to reach the finish line in the morning unless they cheat."

Masamune thought for a moment, then smiled and suggested:

"How about we wait at the first rest stop?"

"With such a long track, many people might not be able to persevere and might give up at the first rest stop."

"Yes." Mashiro paused, then asked again, "Can Umaru keep going?"

"It's hard to say. I don't think she's the kind of person who likes sports. She probably just wanted to join in the fun. Many people, including Chitose, are like that."

As he spoke, Masamune stepped on the gas, started the car, and slowly drove away from the starting point.

……

"Whoosh..."

After running for a while with gritted teeth, Karasuma Chitose couldn't help but stop.

As someone who doesn't exercise regularly, although I've been cramming for the past few days, physical strength is ultimately not my strong suit.

"Aren't you tired?"

Looking around at the seemingly relaxed Umaru and the others, Karasuma Chitose couldn't help but shift her gaze to Enshou Hyakuka.

Compared to the three of them, who looked very relaxed, Momoka's stamina was clearly about the same as hers.

"It's alright... phew..."

After switching from running to walking, Yuan Sheng Baihua instantly felt much more relaxed.

"It's not a bad thing to exercise like this occasionally. Physical strength is quite important during concerts."

"Exercise is fine, but this is way too long! I thought it was only about ten kilometers, but it turned out to be more than 40 kilometers. Such a long distance, let alone running, would take a long time just to walk."

"Is Chitose already considering giving up? This is just the beginning, isn't it?"

"No, I'm just a little worried. If I keep walking and running like this, my feet will definitely get blisters by the afternoon."

"This is what a marathon is all about."

Yuan Sheng Baihua paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"If you want to give up, I'll be there for you anytime."

Damn it, she actually threw the pressure at me. This woman is too cunning.

Karasuma Chitose was filled with resentment and was about to make a few words of defense when he suddenly noticed a young man in a suit with a blank expression running towards him from behind, carrying a blonde girl with twin ponytails in his right hand.

In the blink of an eye, he ran from a hundred meters away to in front of them.

“Hey…! You’ve broken the rules,” Karasuma Chitose couldn’t help but say.

"stop!"

The blonde girl made the person carrying her stop, and gave a soft snort:

"I didn't break any rules. Are there any rules in this marathon that prohibit people from running alongside you? No, there aren't."

"There are only three rules: you are not allowed to leave the runway outside of rest areas; you must return to the runway from the rest area you left; and you are not allowed to use transportation."

"Listen carefully, it's about transportation!"

At this point, she looked up and glared at her butler, saying angrily:

"Himegami, don't carry me like that. It's too embarrassing. Let me sit on your shoulders or back. Or, if you're feeling down, a princess carry will do."

"It's really troublesome."

Himegami scooped up the blonde girl, held her close to her chest, and disappeared from their sight at lightning speed.

"Himegami! Let me go, this is too embarrassing, I want to sit on your back."

Karasuma Chitose stared dumbfounded at the two figures as they walked away, muttering to himself:

"You can do that? How come I didn't think of that?"

"If I find someone to carry me beforehand, wouldn't it be much easier to get through this first and most difficult hurdle?"

"On my own, I have no idea I can reach the finish line."

"Do you have that kind of connection?" Yuan Sheng Baihua asked with a smile. "That's obviously a personal butler."

“I can spend money. I’ve saved up quite a bit of money. As long as I spend more, I can always find suitable transportation.”

No sooner had Karasuma Chitose finished speaking than a gust of wind swept in from afar.

When I came to my senses, there was a short-haired young woman dressed in casual clothes in front of me.

"How much can you offer?"

Karasuma Chitose's eyes lit up. Here comes the kicking power!

I hadn't noticed at all, and suddenly she was right in front of me. Someone that fast could definitely carry me to the finish line.

Compared to running until my legs break and still not reaching the finish line, this is much easier.

I've worked hard for two years and saved up a lot of money; it's the perfect time to use it for something like this.

"How about one million?"

"One million is only enough to get you to the next rest stop."

"There are five rest stops on the track. How about six million to take me to the finish line?"

"make a deal!"

Seeing this, Yuan Sheng Baihua blushed and said:

"I want one too! Six million as well."

This was the first time in her life that she had made such a dishonest deal.

But the thought of running it myself gives me a headache, leg pain, and stomach ache.

"Haha... I'm rich! Twelve million is in my hands right now. Today is my lucky day."

The woman's face lit up with excitement as she glared at the three of them, including Umaru.

"What about the three of you? I can take two people at a time, and three round trips should be enough to get you to your destination."

"The price remains the same, six million per person. You can pay after you reach the finish line."

Doma Umaru stared at her blankly, then burst into laughter:

"How about we exchange contact information? I want to run on my own for a while first, and if I'm sure I can't keep going, then I'll contact you."

"Okay." The woman took out her phone. "My name is Gui Xuelu, this is my number, please remember it."

After exchanging contact information, Katsura Yukiro put his arms around Karasuma Chitose and Ensho Momoka's waists at the same time, and with a little effort, he hoisted the two of them onto his shoulders.

The next moment, he ran quickly into the distance, covering more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

"Wow... Superpowers? Or extraordinary talent?"

Doma exclaimed in surprise and subconsciously looked at Gray.

She's quite strong too. After receiving a gun skill reward through the animation, her strength increased even more, and she can easily lift herself up with one hand.

But carrying two people on one's back and moving with incredible speed is something no human woman could possibly do.

"Can you do that, Grey?"

"I'm just an ordinary girl, not some superheroine."

"That's true. I might pay her to give me a ride later, what about you?"

“I want to run it myself. I used to run a lot when I was in England, so marathons are nothing to me.”

"Well, if you can't keep going, don't force yourself. Just let me know anytime, and I can pay for it for you."

“Xiao Mai, let’s do it together,” Sylphyn said with a hint of excitement. “It sounds like that would be super fun.”

"No problem, let's go to the first rest stop first, that way we can save a million."

"Okay."

Chapter 355 Shame? What is that?

At the first rest stop, the TV presenter held the microphone to Masamune's mouth, pointed to the various scenes on the track, and asked:

"President Hayase, some people are carrying others while running, some are teaming up to block the way, and some are throwing banana peels on the track. Are these considered violations?"

“No,” Masamune said with a smile. “The rules don’t prohibit obstructing others, nor do they prohibit taking things away.”

"Wouldn't that be dangerous? There's a risk of conflict between the players."

“There are cameras. If someone intentionally hurts someone, the police patrolling along the way will naturally play their role.”

"Does Mr. Masamune mean that as long as it's not illegal or against the rules of the game, you can arbitrarily stop your opponent?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Masamune was somewhat surprised, not expecting that so many people were capable of leading the way, and that a new industry chain had been created.

I thought that Chitose, Mio, and the other delicate girls who weren't good at sports would be stopped by the first challenge.

It seems that the first hurdle was no challenge for them at all.

……

Two hours later, Doma and the other two finally arrived at the first rest stop.

"Huh...? Why does the runway end here?"

In the unfamiliar commercial street, the three stood on the street, unconsciously looking back and forth.

"Over here!"

Noticing Masamune waving in front of a restaurant by the roadside, the three of them immediately walked over.
