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

"Huh?!"

The one with the strongest reaction was McQueen.

She turned her head in surprise, staring in disbelief at the figure of the opera singer who had almost disappeared into the crowd.

You want to take the other person as your disciple after only meeting them once?

"Isn't this too hasty..."

Stardust Illusion smiled upon hearing this. She knew better than anyone the value of a good opera, so naturally she wouldn't have such worries.

Rather, what she's hesitating about now is whether she'll hinder the other person's growth.

After all, although her Stardust Illusion has outstanding learning ability and can learn most people's special skills.

But when it comes to imparting knowledge, he's a bit lost.

Not only could she not explain the theoretical basis of her running technique, she could only convey the feeling of running by using long passages of ambiguous onomatopoeia.

Both Miura Bourbon and Mejiro McQueen gave up on asking her for tips because they couldn't understand what the Stardust Illusion was saying.

According to Hikari Toyama, she can probably only resonate with instinctive runners, while the theoretical runners need a different learning method.

"Sigh, this is troublesome too. Lately, everything's been giving me a headache!"

Thinking of this, Stardust Illusion sighed and turned to rejoin the others.

Megumi McQueen, standing nearby, pressed on, "Is something troubling you? The Megumi family can help—"

“Me too! Right, Master?” Zhuo Fu shouted.

"You're right, my foot."

The nobleman impatiently reached out and picked up Zhuo Fu, placing her beside him.

Although he had been strictly keeping an eye on Stardust Illusion recently and hadn't given her any opportunities to spend time with Zhuo Fu, he still saw his disciple constantly trying to get close to her.

Especially recently, this guy named Megumi McQueen has started to act openly, which has inexplicably made Zhuo Fu feel competitive.

(This guy is no good!)

The noble family looked at the foolishly grinning Stardust Illusion and felt a surge of resentment.

During her time in Japan, she noticed that McQueen's popularity had inexplicably been boosted by Stardust Illusion.

A few days ago, I introduced myself to the excellent qualities of learning magic. Although I haven't reached that point yet, it's obvious that I'm quite close to her.

In addition, it's said that there's another one called the Emperor of the East Sea, who has been away healing his wounds and hasn't shown up recently, but everyone thinks that the two of them are the real formidable rivals...

We must be careful! If we don't take precautions, Zhuo Fu will be tricked and run away sooner or later—

Hiss... wait a minute.

Why not try a different approach?

Watching the backs of the group heading towards the celebration site, the noble family's thoughts suddenly became clear.

Chapter 123 Someone is still living in the previous version, who is it?

"I'm back!"

boom.

The dormitory door was suddenly pushed open.

The Emperor of the East Sea strode confidently into his room, carrying his suitcase.

She had just put her things down when she shouted happily, jumped onto her bed, and started rolling around in her arms with the Rudolf doll.

After she had been acting crazy alone for a while, she finally looked up and saw the extra bedding and other items that had suddenly appeared on the bed next to hers.

In the shared area for the two of them, there were also many dumbbells and other equipment for exercise, and books on the table were various theories about training.

Besides that, there was the bedside table piled high with all sorts of cookies, bread, and other food.

Although there seemed to be a lot of things, they appeared to have been carefully organized, so they weren't exactly messy.

However, after scanning the room, the emperor didn't see anything particularly distinctive that would allow her to determine her new roommate's identity.

"A new roommate? I wonder who it is."

The emperor shook his little head, somewhat curious about who had moved in.

"It would be great if it were someone I knew. These things might indicate a meticulous and serious person."

The emperor indulged in his fantasies, imbuing the room with no personal touches and the bedside snacks consisting mainly of staple foods to replenish calories.

"Ask the dormitory head."

That ticket to tomorrow that we once let go of!

The Emperor of the East Sea had just taken out his phone while lying in bed and sent a text message to Fuji Qishi to inquire about the identity of his new roommate when the phone rang.

It was a call from the trainer.

"What's wrong, Trainer? Do you need to see the Emperor?"

The voice of Nishizaki Ryu came from the other end of the phone: "How about starting training today? It's a rare opportunity, I've reserved a spot for you."

"A spot has been reserved?"

The emperor blinked, unsure of what the other person meant.

"I've put your name on the list of places to study with French exchange students. Although you can't join immediately because of your muscle strain, I'm still giving you a chance."

"So if you want to participate, you'd better hurry up and come over, because the noble families will be going back in a few days."

Exchange and learning?

Upon hearing this word, images flashed through the emperor's mind.

That was a recording of a match between Stardust Illusion and the Noble Family, Draco, Megumi McQueen, and others.

She had watched the video countless times these past few days, unable to believe that the Stardust Illusion had reached this level.

If it were me, where would I run to?

The Emperor of the East Sea may have often fantasized about what it would be like if he had participated.

But one thing is certain: those who are now exchanging ideas and learning from the Wangzu are the very same contestants from that competition.

That is to say-

"We can train with Stardust Illusions?! I want to go! The Emperor is coming to join us right away!!!"

The emperor suddenly sprang out of bed, grabbed his phone in one hand, and began changing into his workout clothes, continuing to shout:

"Trainers, where are you? The Emperor is coming right now—"

"If we're looking for the Stardust Illusion, there's no need to rush."

Ryu Nishizaki offered some helpless words of advice over the phone:

“She went to Kyoto yesterday to participate in the G3 Open and rested there. She hasn’t come back yet and probably won’t be able to train until this afternoon.”

"Huh? Stardust went to the competition, how come the Emperor didn't know!?"

The Emperor of the East Sea asked in surprise.

"If you knew, you would have secretly run off to Kyoto yesterday."

Trainer Nishizaki Ryu knew the Empress's temperament all too well, and that's why he deliberately kept it a secret to prevent her from escaping the last day of her recuperation.

"But that's Stardust's first match of the year! She'll be so lonely if the Emperor doesn't go!"

The emperor recalled the stardust illusion that had come to his hospital room to chat the last time, and felt very worried.

She could tell that this guy usually had training and competitions on his mind, and probably had no interest in making friends.

Even though she's usually with Trainer Toyama, he's just a human after all, so how can he be as affectionate as a racehorse girl?

Then I think back to the Stardust Illusion debut battle, when they were so timid that they didn't even dare to go up to the winner's stage.

Although it has been tried twice in the academy, the open tournament is a multi-person stage. Can Stardust handle it?

Thinking of this, she became even more worried.

"Don't worry about being lonely..."

Ryu Nishizaki's tone was strange, and there was a hint of something he wanted to say but couldn't.

"Huh? Did Bourbon go with her?"

After a moment's recollection, the emperor remembered the base oil of Stardust Illusion. If he didn't go to yesterday's match, the only other place he could go was Meipu Bourbon.

"Bourbon was also exhausted from the last match and is still recovering. It will probably take another two days to fully recover."

"Then who else could it be?"

"Well... it's just the Noble Clan, Zofu, and Megumi McQueen," Nishizaki Ryu replied truthfully.

"Oh, that puts my mind at ease. I'll rest for a while and then go to training this afternoon."

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, hung up the phone, and sat back down on the bed.

Since someone was accompanying Stardust Illusion, at least she wouldn't feel stage fright.

Well, let's just focus on training and wait for her to come back...

A second passed.

Two seconds passed.

Three seconds passed.

"—?!"

The emperor suddenly realized what was happening, and jumped up high again, shouting:

"Wait, what did the trainer say?!"

"The Noble Family, Zoe, and McQueen all went to keep her company???"

The emperor's eyes widened in disbelief.
