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

Looking at the female racehorses on the track, Grandpa Liuping knew them all like the back of his hand:

"Invincible in eightfold realm, worth 5 million!"

Megumi Ryan, worth 4 million!

George, the eldest son, is worth 4 million!

Meguro Ardan, worth 2 million!

Shiraishi's net worth is 2 million! (I couldn't find specific figures here, but based on some available competition prize money, I estimated it to be 2 million. If any readers know the exact figure, please leave a comment and I will correct it as soon as possible.)

The noblewoman of the sand, worth 1 million!

Every runner on the field now is a top-tier athlete worth tens or even hundreds of millions, but today, without a doubt, there is only one protagonist—Xiao Li!

At this point, Rokuhei Ginjiro turned to look at the sea of ​​people behind him, his aged face radiating boundless pride.

This wasn't an expression of self-satisfaction with his achievements, but rather a genuine expression of pride for Oguri Hat.

Grandpa Liu Ping opened his arms as if embracing the entire audience, then said to the Stardust Illusion:

"Look, right now, there are over 170,000 people cheering for Oguri in this arena, and outside the arena, there are millions of supporters looking forward to seeing what kind of performance Oguri will deliver."

"And that's the charm of running! In this world, no one can help but admire excellent runners, and no one can help but be captivated by exciting races!"

"So, you understand?" Liu Ping gripped his cane again and asked Stardust Illusion earnestly.

“I understand,” Stardust Illusion replied.

"Haha, that's good. Actually, you don't need to worry too much. These are just some third-rate media outlets; they won't cause too much trouble... Ah, the match is about to begin!"

[The first-place prize is 110 million yen. This is the final chapter of this year's horse racing season—the Arima Memorial, and also Oguri Hattori's retirement race, his last race!]

As the commentator announced his arrival, all the audience members cheered in unison once again.

These people seemed to be huge fans of Oguri Hat, and they would spontaneously start cheering as soon as they heard her name.

However, Ginjiro Rokuhei and Stardust Illusion, standing at the very front of the stands, held their breath, for the match was about to begin—

beep--!!!

boom!

As the starting whistle sounded, all 16 gates opened simultaneously.

[The gates open, the race begins! All 16 racehorses have made a beautiful start!]

[No one chose a particular strategy for taking the lead. First was Yae no Invincible, who was gradually moving towards the lead, then Choichi George, who was also catching up!]

[Oguri Hat has now moved from position 3 to position 4, with Meguro Ryan closely following behind her on the inside!]

“They want to surround Oguri Hat.” Rokuhei Ginjiro stared intently at the arena, his hands gripping the handles of his cane tightly, muttering to himself, “But… we expected this!”

"You need to run lightly for this part, Koguri..."

[Okay, we've now entered the fourth corner of the first lap. Currently, Choichi George is slightly in the lead, followed closely by Yae Mutō, and Meguro Ardan is on the outside corner...]

The cheers from the racetrack were nonstop, with countless people giving their all to support their favorite horse girl.

Faced with this intense situation, the host could only strain to raise the volume and continue commentating on the close match.

[The pack has now entered the straight section next to the stands, with George still leading, while Oguri is in the middle, around 5th or 6th place.]

Positions 5 and 6?

Stardust Illusion also carefully observed the situation of the competition. In her eyes, everyone on the field exuded an indescribable aura.

As they ran past the stands, it felt like a thousand horses were galloping past them, not like they were just watching a race.

[Oguri Hat! Oguri Hat remains in 6th place. The entire group is gradually moving into the second straight. Currently, the leader is still Nagaichi George, followed closely by Yae Invincible, then Mejiro Aldan is in 3rd on the outside, and Shiraishi is half a body length behind in 4th on the inside...]

On the second straight of the second lap, Stardust Illusion recalled the race track map he had seen.

The second straight of the second lap is about 1300-1800 meters into the race, with 700-1200 meters remaining until the end of the race... and this distance is exactly the area that Stardust Illusion is most familiar with!

As if sensing this, Oguri Hat subtly began to change her pace on the track, each step unleashing tremendous power, gradually catching up with the leading group—

The remaining distance is 1000m.

The remaining distance is 900m.

The remaining distance is 800m.

Remaining distance... 777 meters!

Roar! ! !

At that moment, a deafening roar seemed to echo across the arena.

Little Chestnut Hat suddenly took a step forward, slowly raised his head, and looked ahead with eyes filled with a wild, beast-like frenzy.

She slowly grinned, revealing a set of pale white teeth, and declared to all the racehorse girls around her:

"Let's end this playful banter here."

Miracle Runners of Holy Night, get moving!

Chapter Twenty-Six: Transcendence! A Realm Beyond the Domain

As the match continued, Stardust Illusion suddenly remembered something.

During the seventeen days of training, she never saw Oguri Hat use the Holy Night Runner technique she had learned from her; whether she had learned it or not depended entirely on Oguri Hat's verbal instructions.

Even Rokuhei Ginjiro didn't raise any objections to this, and because Oguri Hat could easily crush her even without using this running style, she simply forgot about it.

But at this moment, seeing Oguri Hat's greyish-white figure, bursting with extreme destructive power and about to reach that location, Stardust Illusion couldn't help but think:

Oguri Hat, who is already like a monster and can crush you, and even won the championship in the history before the time travel, will have to deal with Santa Hat's ultimate move.

The next moment, Oguri Hat gave Stardust Illusion the answer.

—The monster has awakened here!

thump.

A deep rumble, seemingly from nowhere, entered the Stardust Illusion's ears.

She instantly felt as if she had entered another space, her heartbeat completely locked by the unique, powerful footsteps, and everyone in her field of vision vanished without a trace.

Under the pitch-black sky, the cheers, commentary, and even the creaking of Rokuhei Ginjiro's cane gripping tightly beside him were all swept away, and the surroundings fell into complete silence...

Suddenly, a gray-white figure, engulfed in flames, swept across the ground!

thump.

The mysterious rumbling sound rang out again from behind the gray-white phantom. Using the light from the flames burning on her body, the Stardust Illusion squinted as it looked—

In this dark space, a terrifying, colossal shadow, towering and imposing, vaguely appeared amidst the flickering flames.

The colossal shadow was so thick and massive that even with one's head tilted back, it was difficult to see what was at the very top. However, the Stardust Illusion eventually figured out one thing: the deep, heavy rumbling sound was the dull thud of the shadow taking a step and landing on the ground.

What a behemoth this is! You could say it would take at least two episodes to fight in an Ultraman movie. Is this even a racehorse?!

【…………………………Oguri Hat, Oguri Hat started chasing ahead ahead... all the other racehorse girls suddenly became agitated!】

What on earth is going on?! There are still over 500 meters to go, but Oguri Hattori chooses to seize this opportunity and begin the final sprint!

Faintly, the Stardust Illusion could hear Jie's desperate shouts in its ear.

With this declaration, the only gray-white figure in the stardust illusion's vision was moving at a speed that was almost beyond the limits of what the naked eye could perceive.

In just a few hundred meters, Little Chestnut Hat, with the phantom monster behind him, had already rushed into the final straight line, the last 200 meters!

No racehorse girl could keep up with her pace, not even Meguro Aldan, Choichi George, or Yae Mutten.

Even Megumi Ryan, who was locked in a stalemate with Oguri Hat in the original timeline, is now unable to follow in Oguri Hat's footsteps. Her only remaining opponent is herself!

In the final 200m, Oguri Hat did not maintain her current form.

Stardust Illusion stared at the only figure in its eyes, and Little Chestnut Hat's flames suddenly surged up, instantly transforming into a blood-red, towering wave that surged forth.

At that moment, she suddenly realized something:

Miracle Runner of the Holy Night – this innate skill originally belonged to Oguri Hat, the racehorse girl. So, just how far can she go now?

Stardust Illusion's eyes were completely captivated by Oguri Hat's figure, and it didn't want to miss a single second of the scene before it.

At this moment, Oguri Hat not only used the Holy Night Runner technique she learned from Stardust Illusion in the race, but also had her own running style that she did not use.

What will happen when two of her inherent traits erupt in the same match?

A terrifying monster, as horrifying as Godzilla, began to faintly glow a dark red light beneath its skin...

Finally, it erupted with a deafening roar.

—The rousing call to victory, let's launch!

Boom!

Heavy footsteps tore through the earth, and dark red, scorching lava spewed out. Godzilla bent down and wrapped his arms around the mane-haired racehorse girl.

The magma gushed from the crack and was completely absorbed into the monster's body, which then gradually dimmed, leaving only a dark red phantom that enveloped its body.

At this moment, Oguri Hat's fiery figure pressed forward relentlessly, so much so that even this area could not contain her, her ultimate presence that made it impossible for anyone to look away.

Just watching him run like that, Stardust Illusion felt his heart burning hot, and his throat felt like it was being choked, making it impossible for him to breathe.

Although she couldn't comprehend the extent of Oguri's current abilities, she could understand the current state of the match...

There's definitely something she's been dreaming of!

The next moment, Stardust Illusion was momentarily dazed. He was back in the bustling arena, the commentator's passionate shouts filling his ears once more:

[Oguri Hat! Oguri Hat! Oguri Hat is pulling ahead of the pack, already in the final 200m of the race. Is the final showdown about to begin?!]
