Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

After the competition, she met the Great Sun God who came to comfort her.

But Ruby was too embarrassed to talk to her, and after a few perfunctory words, she hurriedly returned to the dressing room.

She knew the purpose of the sun god's visit.

In pursuit of a scientifically sound training model, the Hua Li Clan forcibly removed her from her previous team.

However, the most vehement opposition to all of this came from the Great Sun God.

The other person even cried and questioned why they had done this, why they weren't willing to work together with everyone to the end...

(This is the choice of the glamorous clan. I bear the responsibility of reviving the glamorous clan, and I must pursue a training method with a higher win rate.)

That was the answer the sun god gave on that day.

However... today, she has been defeated so completely.

Was I wrong?

Or perhaps the family made the wrong choice...

What should we do next?

She had no time to dwell on her thoughts any longer. As the music continued, the First Ruby walked to the front of the stage and looked towards the audience.

As if by fate, she spotted the figure standing at the very front of the hall at a glance.

The Great Sun God was staring intently at him.

"I have never truly understood the taste of sadness."

"Yet they have already begun to explore the meaning of 'pain'."

Even the feelings I have for you in my heart.

"At this moment, it also transforms into a thousand words..."

Ruby had only heard this song for the first time today, and now, with a myriad of thoughts swirling within her, her voice even carried a hint of sobbing.

I want to apologize to the sun god and the trainers.

She wanted to tell the rest of the glamorous family that she shouldn't have to learn so many other skills while she was still active in the military.

Wanting to run, wanting to win, wanting to experience the purest desires of racehorse girls...

However, I can't be so willful.

From the moment she bore this name, the First Ruby had to exist for the sake of her family.

One's own will must never supersede the interests of the glamorous clan.

This is... her destiny.

First Ruby understands that she is different from other racehorse girls; her family's demands are like a birdcage, completely enveloping her.

The world of rubies dimmed at this moment...

The next moment, a clear singing voice, like lightning piercing the long night, instantly awakened the ruby:

"Awakening suddenly from the dream of an unknown world."

"Spread your wings and fly in that vast sky!"

Chapter 119 Revue of Freedom

As the song progressed, Ikuno Dedus's voice grew increasingly powerful.

Spread your wings and fly in the air.

Even she could only dream of this.

Since childhood, she has suffered from a near-terminal illness that almost prevented her from even running.

But it is precisely because of this that Ikuno Didos cherishes everything he has now even more.

Being able to run on the track, being able to spend every day with the trainers and teammates...

When she stepped onto the field, she was like the bluebird in the song.

Awaken from the painful dream and spread your wings to soar!

--------

"Wherever there is stardust illusion, there you will find me, an ordinary horse racing enthusiast!"

As expected, Aili Digital mingled among the audience once again.

She wiped her drool, raised her camera, and repeatedly pressed the shutter button, aiming at the center of the stage.

"As expected, it's another original stage performance this time. Stardust Illusion is truly amazing. Does she intend to use original performances for every competition from now on?"

She was still wearing that anime shirt covered in stardust illusion photos, plus chibi-style stardust straps, making her practically fully armed.

Stardust Illusion certainly did not disappoint; even in a public competition, its opponent showed no stage fright.

He crushed all the players with a stunning escape that tore through the competition, and shone brightly on the winner's stage as well.

The song this time is called "Bluebird".

Listening to the singing on stage, and watching the silhouettes of birds flashing on the screen.

Aili Digital already had a vague idea of ​​today's topic.

But... if that's the case, then there should be more to come, right?

At this moment, the performance by First Ruby and Ikuno Dedus has ended.

The two reunited with the Stardust Phantom in the center of the stage, looking towards the audience.

The three of them stretched out their right hands towards the audience and slowly raised them upwards, tapping their right feet on the ground one tap at a time.

The singing and background music both soared to a crescendo at this moment:

"When you spread your wings and soar, make up your mind never to look back—"

"The direction we're flying towards is those snow-white, snow-white drifting clouds!"

When you break through the clouds, you will know where your dream lies—

The song instantly ignited the emotions in Alice Digital's heart—the yearning to run that every racehorse girl possesses.

At that moment, a sudden gust of wind swept across the stage, as if everyone had been transported into the blue sky along with the song!

Then came the final line of the song, unique to Stardust Illusion:

"Break free from all constraints and fly towards that azure, azure sky!"

"Fly towards that azure, azure sky!"

"Fly towards that azure, azure sky!!!"

The phrase was repeated three times, each time becoming more passionate than the previous one.

Break free from all constraints and soar through the azure sky.

Yes, that's the true meaning of the song Stardust Illusion!

Hearing the final solo of Stardust Illusion, I fully understood the meaning this stage performance represented.

That was the cry of the stardust illusion.

She must run, she must break free from all the constraints that hinder her from winning.

Yearning for victory, yearning for freedom!

This is what she wanted to convey to everyone through this song.

"Run, compete, and win!"

"In Stardust Illusion's mind, this is the simplest thing, and nothing should stop it."

"No mistake, absolutely no mistake, what Stardust Illusion wants to show everyone today is exactly this—"

"—Revue of Freedom!"

"I understand!!!"

--------

The accompaniment music played in the gaps between the singer's vocals.

The First Ruby stood there, instinctively moving her body along with the others, her eyes fixed blankly.

I gaze at the stardust phantom standing at the forefront, sweating profusely.

The song she sang was undoubtedly her heartfelt declaration to everyone.

But the song, instead, ignited the heart of the First Ruby.

Break free from all constraints and soar into the deep blue sky...

Is this really possible?

Can one escape the responsibilities one bears?

Stardust Illusion, her unparalleled fighting spirit, her unwavering determination to break through everything, her pursuit of a shimmering figure.

All of this made Ruby so enamored.

This is something she longs for but cannot have, something she, as a racehorse girl, absolutely possesses, yet has to suppress herself for.

This is her responsibility as the heir of the magnificent clan...

Ruby had lost count of how many times she had heard such words.

Everyone around her, including herself, used this argument to suppress her and force her to obey the family's arrangements.

but……

I want to run as fast as I want too!

I also want to work hard in the academy with my teammates and trainers!
