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

Chapter 114 The Strongest Overlord's Good Opera (Childhood)

[Finally, finally it's here! The moment the match begins is almost here!]

[Amid cheers, the race is about to begin—Good morning, everyone! This is the scene of the 26th Kyoto Marsh Special Race, a G3-level 1600m turf track at Kyoto Racecourse!!!]

[As you can see, the contestants who were warming up on the field have begun to enter the gate one by one, making their final preparations. Please allow me to introduce the three most popular contestants in this competition.]

[Third in popularity for this race – Ikuno Didos! This rider's lineage comes from the mysterious racehorse girl predecessor "Northern Flavor." Although her current whereabouts are unknown, the strength inherent in this lineage is undeniable. We look forward to this iron lady's performance today!]

"The weather is good, and I can perform at my best today."

The girl with the brown ponytail pushed up her round-framed glasses, seemingly unconcerned about the commentator's assessment of her.

Even though she had already stepped through the gates and was about to start the match, this Iron Lady was still moving her ankles, doing her final warm-up preparations.

[Next up is the second most popular runner, Stardust Illusion!!! This runner achieved one win in two races last year. Whether it was his narrow defeat against the Central Prodigy, the East Sea Emperor, in the final moments, or his stunning escape from the second race when he didn't win, both left a deep impression on the audience.]

Now, she has inherited the title of "Second Generation Oguri Hat" and is considered a formidable rival to the East Blue Emperor. Rumors even suggest her performance at Central Academy is phenomenal... This contestant is undoubtedly a highlight of today's competition. Will that shocking escape reappear today?

The Stardust Illusion stood motionless, completely ignoring the narration that began to play.

Her body trembled slightly, and every muscle in her skeleton tensed up with the tremor.

The long-awaited atmosphere of the open tournament put Stardust Illusion into a focused state from the very beginning.

This match, which was originally only G3 level, attracted an unusually large number of spectators due to the spectacular showdown between "Oguri Hat 2nd Generation" and "Dream Bloodline". The number was estimated to be tens of thousands.

This level of spectacle was a completely new experience for her, something that the mock competitions within the academy couldn't provide...

(Tens of thousands of people... Next, I'll steal their attention with my running!!!)

[Finally, the most popular contestant of this competition—the number one Ruby!]

[A perfect blend of a magnificent clan and the Pegasus bloodline, this dreamlike lineage, combined with more advanced training concepts from Europe and America, has allowed this young lady, who has been honing her skills for half a year, to become an all-rounder proficient in running and all other skills—and now, she returns to the track in overwhelming force!]

What sparks will fly between her, Stardust Illusion, and Ikuno Dedrus in this match? Let's wait and see what kind of match this protagonist will deliver!

The young lady, dressed in sportswear, gracefully bowed to the surrounding audience before stepping through the gate.

Her long yet powerful limbs demonstrated that this First Ruby's strength had not diminished at all during the six months she was sidelined due to injury.

------

"They actually say the First Ruby is the main character?"

The little racehorse girl with short orange hair, Koyo, also showed a good-girl mode during this period, using this as a basis to beg her mother to bring her to this stadium to watch the Stardust Illusion race.

Her ears twitched back and forth, taking in the host's words, and she couldn't help but shout out her rebuttal:

"There's only one main character, and that's Stardust Illusion! Watch closely!!!"

"Oh, little friend, you have a good eye!"

Hikari Toyama, who was standing to the side, turned around and looked at the excited child.

Megumi McQueen and Zoe, who were beside her, also looked over. The moment they saw such a good opera, they both felt as if they had been punched hard in the heart.

So cute... This little racehorse girl's smug expression is just the right amount of adorable!

"Of course, Stardust Illusion is the strongest racehorse girl, she will definitely not lose here!"

When a stranger struck up a conversation with the opera singer, the singer showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she put her hands on her hips and answered him without any hesitation.

"Since the child believes in the Stardust Illusion so much, what do you think are her advantages compared to the other contestants?"

Hikari Toyama did not act like an adult just because the racehorse girl in front of her was still young.

Instead, they chatted about opera with an equal attitude.

"Hey, asking such a question is really putting people in a difficult position—"

Over the past few days, Megumi McQueen has come to understand a little more about the personalities of the Stardust Illusion trainers.

She knew this person liked to test other people's patience, but teasing a child was going too far.

They're just a simple Stardust Illusion fan, how can you use such technical questions to test them?

The opera singer ignored the purple-haired older sister's meaning. It was rare to encounter an adult who could communicate with her on an equal footing, which made her feel valued.

Upon hearing the question, she immediately replied, "I know! Stardust Illusion's strongest feature is its last leg—with it, Stardust Illusion can defeat any enemy!"

"Last leg? Shouldn't it be a great escape?"

Zhuo Fu was somewhat puzzled by the cute child's answer.

She had also been cramming on a lot of knowledge these past few days, so she understood that the biggest escapee on the field is often the chariot that can completely destroy everyone's rhythm.

Zhuo Fu also asked the Wang family and other friends to help review the match.

The final conclusion was that he had lost his rhythm due to the escape of the Stardust Illusion.

As a result, in order to avoid completely losing speed in the final stages of the race, they were unable to accelerate immediately, and were ultimately left completely behind by Stardust Illusion, which had already pushed its speed to the limit...

But the child said that Stardust Illusion's strongest weapon is the Last Foot?

Sure enough, he's just a kid. He probably heard someone else use the word somewhere and then used it to pretend he knows it.

Zhuo Fu thought to herself and nodded.

However, standing in front of the two, Hikari Toyama secretly revealed a devilish smile:

"Oh? Your insights are quite unique. May I ask your name?"

"Hmph, listen up, sister."

The more I asked about the name of the opera, the more excited I became.

She suddenly propped her forehead, which was lowered towards the ground, with her left hand, waved an invisible cloak behind her back with her right hand, striking an extremely chuunibyou (delusional) pose, and continued:

"My name is—Good Opera! I will inherit the path of Stardust Illusion and become the strongest overlord!!!"

Chapter 115 It's been Climax from the very beginning!

Kyoto Racecourse, 1600m Turf Mile Race.

This G3-level match didn't seem to have anything special about it.

However, its entire course is exactly the same as another G1 race: the 1600m turf mile championship held every November at the same racecourse.

This race is so good that even professional horse racers who are dedicated to mile-level races wouldn't miss G1.

They chose to join the competition today as a rehearsal.

Whether it's the First Ruby or Ikuno Dedus, the reason for choosing it is the same.

[All contestants have entered the gate. Please get ready, the competition is about to begin.]

At the announcer's declaration, all the female racehorses simultaneously assumed a running stance.

Every contestant's eyes burned with fierce passion and fighting spirit.

"beep--"

Snapped!

As the whistle sounded, the gates opened simultaneously, and all the runners rushed out of their starting positions and sprinted onto the track.

[The race has begun—all competitors have successfully exited the gate!]

The race was fiercely contested from the very beginning, with at least five runners vying for the lead.

With his eyes scanning the track, Ruby did not rush to compete with the opponents ahead for position in the early stages.

Although I have done countless simulations on the training ground, now that I am stepping onto the grass in front of me and feeling the presence of the racehorse girls running in front of and behind me, I am truly amazed.

Even the glamorous young lady couldn't help but smile happily at the sight of the First Ruby.

They've been locked in combat from the very beginning...

She thought this to herself silently.

For her, who runs in the middle of the pack, the extra energy expenditure from grappling with the leading group and the pack ahead is actually quite advantageous.

With each step Ruby took, she could feel her perfectly sculpted muscles providing a continuous source of strength and stamina for her to command.

(If the track ahead becomes congested, then she should be here by then—)

Recalling the possibilities recorded in the data analyzed by the family research institute before the competition.

Ruby slightly turned her head, glancing out of the corner of her eye towards the direction of the Great Outer Path...

However, just as the information indicated, she found the figure of her biggest rival in the competition there:

Stardust illusion.

boom!

With each step the runner took, she created holes in the grass, her powerful strides propelling the Stardust Illusion's body from the outer lane.

They chased after the enemy at the forefront, step by step!

(Since the data analysis of the match situation is correct, there's no need to rush. Let's maintain this pace until the mid-game.)

Ruby nodded slightly, gazing ahead at the track.

After the starting gates open, there is a long straight track that extends to the 700m mark.

This type of track offers a significant advantage to early and leading runners, giving them ample time to secure advantageous positions.

Once the race reaches the 700m mark and enters the bend, there will be a downhill section with a gradient of 2 or more.

This downhill bend will be her most advantageous aid when accelerating, narrowing the gap between herself and the terrifying explosive power of Stardust Illusion.

As a racehorse with a central running style, Ruby is confident that she can defeat Stardust Illusion, which takes the lead, with a final acceleration.

In addition, there's the strength and endurance she's developed through the most scientific training methods...

(Destroy the Stardust Illusion's escape there, and then gloriously seize victory!)

At this moment, Ikuno Dedus is also running in the middle row.
