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

The emperor simply turned his head and asked.

"...Your Excellency, the actual Supreme One!"

From behind the curtain came Ellie Digital's blissful moans, almost suffocating.

The two exchanged another glance, wondering what was going on over there.

"Ah, you two don't need to mind me, this little paramecium. Just... just keep talking!"

Seemingly noticing the silence, Aili Digital quickly tried to persuade the two of them.

Originally, I was hospitalized due to low blood sugar from staying up all night to finish a manuscript, but I never expected to encounter such a good show.

She could already picture it in her mind:

"Does Stardust really like me that much?"

The devilish East Sea Emperor provokes the handsome and tall Stardust Illusion, only to have his hands grabbed and slammed onto the hospital bed.

The stardust illusion slowly approached the emperor's ear, blowing a warm breeze into her ear canal. Looking at the East Sea emperor, whose body trembled slightly and whose ears had turned red, she said with a wicked smile:

"Your Majesty, you are playing with fire, do you know that?"

……

Ah, this scene! Three goddesses, take me away! Hehehehehehe...!

Hearing the eerie laughter coming from behind the curtain, Stardust Illusion walked forward with annoyance and yanked open the curtain between the beds—

"Goooo!!!"

The racehorse girl lying on the hospital bed by the window let out a strange cry and used her drawing board to cover her face.

She knew she had interrupted their conversation and felt a little flustered.

Not knowing what the approaching stardust illusion wanted, it quickly begged for mercy:

"I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong! I just wanted to see the horse racers interact, I really didn't mean anything by it!!!"

Looking at the beautiful but ultimately disappointing Alice Digital, Stardust Illusion sighed and reached out to take the drawing board from her hand.

It has to be said that this horse racing girl's drawing skills are truly remarkable. In such a short time, she has already completed the line drawing of a picture.

The stardust illusion in the picture is depicted in a more masculine style, with a wicked smile, pinning the disheveled Emperor of the East Sea firmly to the bed...

Amidst the lamentations of Alice Digital, Stardust Illusion tore off the page of paper that clearly failed the review and casually stuffed it into his pocket.

"Okay, this is confiscated. You're not allowed to draw me."

She said it expressionlessly.

"Oh no! How could this happen?"

Overwhelmed with grief, Alice Digital jumped off the hospital bed and rushed over without even putting on her shoes. She grabbed Stardust Illusion's leg and began to sob:

"Please give it back to me! I won't show it to anyone! I'll die without it!"

"What did you draw? I still have the photos here."

The Emperor of the East Sea looked at the strange sight before him with some doubt.

It's just a portrait; she often sends photos to her fans too. What's the big deal?

Why did these two people start arguing?

"Don't worry about this, kids."

Stardust Illusion didn't want the Emperor to see that kind of fan fiction, so he just made up a casual remark.

"Ah! I'm not a child! Take this!"

When the emperor heard her say that she was a child, he immediately became angry, pulled a pillow from behind his back, and threw it at her.

"Alright, alright, I'm the one who's a child... Let's stop here for today. When will Your Majesty be able to be discharged from the hospital?"

Stardust Illusion, having caught the pillow, glanced at the time and realized it was almost an hour before her appointment with Toyama. So she broke free from Alice Digital's grasp and returned the pillow to the East Sea Emperor.

"The doctor told me I can be discharged in a few days." The East Sea Emperor shook his little head, looking smug. "Since Stardust wants to compete with me again at the Gaoyue Awards, I'll give you a big surprise then."

"My undefeated treble-winning journey will begin when I defeat you!"

As she said this, she extended her fist provocatively toward the Stardust Illusion.

"You won't be the only one to surprise them."

Stardust Illusion bumped fists with her, then turned and walked out, disappearing behind the door.

"So, what exactly is that painting?"

After watching his formidable opponent leave the ward, the Emperor of the East Sea turned his head with curiosity and asked his temporary roommate.

"Hehe, this is exactly what adults like to see! I'll draw it out for you right away!"

Aili Digital took out the drawing board with a sly grin.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: What's with that expression and those eyes?!

Sakamichi training.

This is an advanced model developed by European and American horse racing organizations, specifically for training racehorses to run.

Its distinctive feature is long-distance uphill sprints, which forcefully train the riders' physical and mental strength by pushing their endurance limits. Generally speaking, Uma Musume trains two to three times a week on the slopes to ensure good training results.

however……

"Four training sessions on the slopes in one day!?"

Stardust Illusion stared in astonishment at the specially lengthened uphill track before it.

It wasn't that she was afraid of such high-intensity training, but after reading the Sakamichi training information that Higanbana Toyama handed her, Stardust Illusion couldn't help but have doubts.

"It clearly says that two or three times a week is optimal. Even if you want to increase the training volume, going from two or three times a week to four times a day is just too much!"

"While you were inspecting this morning, Bourbon had already completed four training sessions on the slopes."

The female trainer's expression was very cold.

Stardust Illusion has discovered that she transforms into a demon when it comes to training-related matters, showing absolutely no mercy.

"The Miura Bourbon is complete..."

Stardust Illusion hesitated to speak, but ultimately did not directly refute the trainer's plan.

"If there are no other questions, let's begin. Today, because we need to test your basic condition this morning, training will start this afternoon. From now on, you will train on the slope with Bourbon every morning—this is the most important thing for you right now to improve your physical fitness."

Toyama Scarlet raised her head, signaling Stardust Illusion to prepare to start.

"Are you really not afraid of ruining the Bourbon technique...?"

Stardust Illusion sighed and stood at the starting line.

"This is the Bourbon's own choice—ready, set, go!"

With a command from Scarlet Toyama, the Stardust Illusion rushed straight up the slope.

The reason why uphill training is highly regarded by research organizations in Europe and America is that proper uphill running can simultaneously enhance strength, endurance, and speed, effectively train leg muscles, adjust knee joint condition, and even reduce the risk of knee injury.

However, the terrifying amount of training four times a day has the opposite effect. If you don't find the right way to run on the slope, you will not only fail to properly adjust your knee condition, but you may even wear down your knees prematurely and fall into endless knee joint pain.

Fortunately, Stardust Illusion doesn't need to worry about these things. The greatest gift her digitized body gives her is that she will never get injured. So as long as she can persevere, such a high-intensity training volume will definitely be beneficial and harmless.

As it ran, Stardust Illusion struggled to regulate its breathing and recalled the animated clips it had seen before the journey.

During that time, Zhou learned two key techniques while running alongside the Big Tree Express...

"I remember it should be..."

Thinking this, Stardust Illusion began to gradually change its running style. Its body changed from leaning forward to slightly raising itself, its stride length gradually shortened, its pace quickened, and its feet gradually changed from landing with the entire sole of its foot to only using the forefoot, which was shod with horseshoes, to touch the ground...

Da da da da da!

The rapid thud of footsteps echoed across the slope. At first, she was a bit flustered, not to mention mastering the uphill technique, she even had to expend extra energy to maintain her balance.

But as she persisted in trying, Stardust Illusion gradually mastered that peculiar grip. With her rapid strides and special forefoot running technique, she could clearly feel her body gradually becoming more relaxed!

In a corner of the system that no one noticed, a line of golden text suddenly popped up:

[Skill: Already learned by the Mountaineer.]

"He actually mastered the uphill technique all by himself...?"

Hikari Toyama, standing beside the track, stared wide-eyed in surprise.

She originally intended to teach this running technique after today, so that Stardust Illusion could have a deeper understanding of it.

Unexpectedly, the other party mastered this footwork without any instruction during their first slope training session. Is this the superb comprehension that the old man was talking about?!

That's incredible! How could someone master a new running technique on their first long uphill run without any reference points?

……

However, starting from the third Slope training session, Stardust Illusion clearly noticed the physical difficulties it was experiencing.

Even though she has temporarily mastered the uphill technique, she cannot change her physical deficiencies. Now, all her muscles, especially her legs, are starting to groan, and her breathing has finally become uncontrollably rapid.

By the fourth time she trained on the slope, each step she took felt like a test of her limits. Just as Stardust Illusion couldn't help but weaken and try to slow down, Toyama Scarlet's bloodless, tearless shout came from ahead:

"What are you trying to do, Stardust Illusion! What's with that expression? What's with those eyes? And what's with those weak steps?!"

"Trying to give up? With your half-baked mentality, you dare to publicly declare that you want to challenge the classic triple crown! And you call yourself the glorious 'Oguri Hat 2nd Generation'!"

Are you training Ultraman here?! Your CPU is getting really powerful, and you're going to have all sorts of tricks up your sleeve!

Stardust Illusion muttered to himself.

Despite her complaints, she continued to move forward without hesitation.

Although Hikari Toyama was spouting motivational platitudes, what she said wasn't wrong: if you want to challenge the classic triple crown, you must seize every opportunity to improve yourself.

They already have a system that allows them to steadily improve during training, and the old man and Oguri Hat have high hopes for them. Do they really want to suffer another crushing defeat like in their debut match?

impossible!

Stardust Illusion was running until he was drenched in sweat, his face was pale, his steps felt as heavy as lead, his chest heaved violently as if blowers were blowing, and he could feel the scorching air burning in his lungs with every breath.
