I only have one year to live, so I must become a legendary horse girl!

In short, the first exchange of information with the Brave Dancer ended with little progress.

Therefore, facing Haidu's commentary, Gotham Carol was particularly serious, even fully focused.

The personality of Haidu Star is not much different from what Yongwu guessed. He is indeed the type who is not good at communication. He is quiet and silent, listening most of the time, and is quite clumsy.

To be honest, when Ms. Haidu, the eldest sister, could only provide such little information about the planet Haidu, Gotham Carol didn't know what to say.

There are two possibilities. Ms. Haidu doesn’t understand Haidu Star, or... Haidu Star is real, very, uh... pure?

In short, it can only be the latter, right?

Besides that, the last words Haidu said were...

"But once we get to that child's room, Miss Carol will understand that she really, really, really likes you."

And I only like you, not because of Mu Liuge that I like Gotham Carol to this extent.

Honestly, there was a bit of a lack of information, but since I had received such a guarantee from Ms. Haidu, I had no choice but to go for it. Gotham Carol was naturally quite curious about the extent to which one could be called "really, really, really like you a lot."

After getting off the car, Gotham Carol was about to walk into the hall with Aldan when she saw the little guy whom she had met once before.

At this moment, Fan Gaoer was hiding behind a tree and made a face at her, then turned around and disappeared without a trace.

I almost forgot, if this kid is a runaway horse girl, her idol should be Mu Ruka? In that case, it seems normal for her to be so playful towards me.

Gotham Carol thought about it, and then inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Child, if you knew that you were making faces at Bo Mu Liu Ge, how would you, as a runaway horse girl, condemn yourself?

Gotham Carol, who was in a good mood because of this, hummed a little tune, and with Aldan Mejiro who also realized what was going on, the two walked into the hall tacitly.

Compared to Mejiro Castle and the Yongwu family, the Hai family's residence is completely different. It is not as luxurious, but has a very modern style.

It is spacious, bright, and grand, and it is obvious that it does not show many signs of aging. This is no wonder, compared to the houses in Mejiro Castle that have a long history, and the time that has passed since the Yongwu dancer bought the ready-made house.

The Hai family, which was fully developed in Ms. Hai City, does not have so many signs of the passage of time. Even their daily behavior is relatively free of aristocratic shadows.

This was somewhat easier to accept for Gotham Carol, who actually did not have any aristocratic bones. However, after pushing the door open with a relaxed mood, he turned into confusion and bewilderment.

What did you see after opening the door?

It was a face that gradually approached within the field of vision.

With long black hair and a tall figure, he looks like a cold and handsome guy without any expression, but he looks a little weird when he smiles. Who is the horse girl in front of me?

Yes…

The main culprit that made Gotham Carol come to France so early is the opponent they will face in the Irish Champions Stakes.

astronomer.

To be honest, after knowing that the astronomer had left Mejiro Castle, Gotham Carol guessed that she would probably meet this "pursuer" here, so she did not refuse anything.

That was the request for Mejiro Altan to come along.

Gotham Carol took a step back and silently crossed himself in his heart.

Rest in peace, Three Goddesses Gate.

"Help me, Sister Aldan!"

Before the astronomer could react, Mejiro Aldan stood in front of her.

"What do you want to do to the people of Mejiro Castle?"

"Miss Astronomer."

Chapter 91, In the name of legend.

It is obvious that the astronomers have been subjected to inhuman abuse and torture.

So when he heard the three words "Mejiro family", his whole body trembled, and then he retreated fiercely to where he should be - in the corner of the sofa.

Gotham Carol felt a little helpless when she saw this. She guessed that Mejiro Takamine might do such a thing, but she didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

Sister Gao Feng, you are so narrow-minded?

Until now, Gotham Carol still feels that it is not due to their own fault, but Aldan Mejiro, who knows more about this, cannot say more.

She just took Gotham Carol's hand and sat opposite the astronomer...right in front of him, staring at him.

Hai Dushi, who had said nothing just now, also came up at this time. She actually heard everything clearly, but her family was originally in the wrong, and the astronomer was not willing to learn his lesson... At least this gentle elder sister felt that there was nothing wrong with her younger sister suffering a little.

Don't be fooled by the astronomer's obedient appearance now. Nothing serious happened after leaving Mejiro Castle. Now? Now it's just out of respect for Mejiro Aldan.

In other words, it is to respect the Mejiro Takamine behind Mejiro Altan.

Well, it just means that some majesty still exists.

Hey, this sister...

However, there is actually nothing special about sitting here. It is just because it is not very late yet and it is not yet the time when the Sea City Star may appear.

In fact, Haidu Star has not left his room since his debut battle failed completely. He disappeared from everyone's sight as if his heart was closed.

That's why Haidu City will seek every possible opportunity when it has one, and by the way, plead for the astronomer.

It’s not like Kaito City doesn’t know what kind of person Mejiro Takamine is.

A few people waited and exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the topic naturally slid into one of the real reasons why Gotham Carol came to Paris.

Irish Championship.

If you tell anyone about this, many fans will go crazy, right? The fact that the two biggest favorites to win this top tournament are sitting in the same room.

There aren't many Irish championships this year, and there's only one from all over the world that can be considered a favorite whose strength is clearly evident.

Gotham ode.

As for the European horse girl, she is the defending astronomer.

After all, the latter is a player who has proven his strength in the European arena. Although Gotham Anthem was also shocking at the Yasuda Kinen and Takarazuka Kinen, it was only to this extent.

Essentially, Japan's level is too low in the international arena. Even if most people see a hundred horse bodies, the first thing they do is not to say that Gotham Carol is too strong, but to laugh at it.

How did URA become such a rookie?

However, this is also a proof of strength to some extent. Most people in the international community believe that Gotham Carols has the competitiveness to win top international competitions.

Therefore, as the Irish Championship draws closer, public opinion in Europe has begun to report in this way.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why astronomers attach so much importance to Gotham Anthem?

Especially now that the other party has returned to normal and is looking at me with burning eyes.

Forehead?

Gotham Carol looked at the astronomer, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what the guy who was looking at him so seriously was thinking.

To be honest, although the astronomer has a playboy-like personality, he no longer has that casual and nonsensical feeling. All Gotham Carol can see on the horse girl's face is full of seriousness and hope.

"Ms. Gotham Carol, um...it's presumptuous of me to say this, but can I ask the question that's been on my mind?"

"Please... please speak, Miss Astronomer?"

Gotham Ode was also forced to become formal. She didn't think that the astronomer would say anything serious or weird at this critical juncture. She had a hunch.

In this serious occasion, the other party will also be as serious and calm as the atmosphere.

After all, an astronomer is still a horse racing girl.

"You didn't show your absolute strength in the previous competitions, did you?"

The astronomer asked this question, but her tone was remarkably firm. It was obvious that her question was merely for confirmation. As for the answer? It already existed in her mind.

"I don't understand what you're saying, Miss Astronomer. I've taken every game very seriously."

Gotham Carol was a little confused. She asked this question but didn't notice Aldan's silent gaze on her.

"Little fool, taking it seriously doesn't mean giving it your all. Or, what's the biggest change in your approach to the game compared to before? You haven't realized it yet, have you?

"No, what I mean is, Miss Gotham Carol, although you respected the competition, you didn't really give it what you should have."

The astronomer's tone was serious. She placed her hands on the coffee table and even leaned forward slightly.

She really cared about the answer to this question.

"Before I met you, even if I just watched the race records over and over again, I would sigh... What a powerful horse girl! It's really intimidating to watch her run, but in fact, I can feel it."

"You didn't even run in a way you were truly comfortable with until the very end. Furthermore, you didn't feel even a hint of that essential quality for any horse girl… the unwavering desire for victory and that unquestionable pursuit."

The astronomer thought back to everything she had seen, and she had to say these words, because, ah, it would be their turn to become opponents next, right?

Failure is not terrible, but if you can't even arouse the opponent's competitive spirit... it's a shame, an absolute shame.

"Before the match even started, you were already certain that victory would be yours. There's nothing wrong with that. However, if you completely fail to demonstrate your full potential just because of that, that's too much!"

The astronomer even stood up suddenly, pleading in a tall yet humble manner.

"I know you acted like that because you were considering defeating the Japanese international competition, but, but..."

"But the Irish Championship doesn't have that kind of consideration, right? Please show your competitive spirit, your desire for victory, and let me, your opponent, feel the fiery heart and running that truly belong to the Gotham Anthem."

"Even if I fail, if I can fight against such a Gotham Carol, I will be able to watch the colorful rain with peace of mind and enjoy the glory of being the second place."

"Besides, among the current Classic Year Horse Girls, who is more qualified to fight you than me, the Astronomer?"

Even if you fail, you will get the same glory as a loser.

But even if she fails, the Astronomer won't back down before the battle. Who is she? The Astronomer! One of the most promising horsegirls of this era to become a legend.

How about Gotham Anthem? If it were me, you'd also show your awareness and desire, right? Let's fight, let's fight with all our might on the field.

Gotham Carol looked at the astronomer. She was speechless for a moment, but one thing was certain.

The astronomer was able to become Europe's biggest playboy and legendary horse girl, she really had some extraordinary qualities.

But is it really true that there is a lack of fighting spirit? Gotham Carol couldn't find the answer, so she could only think about it and give the best solution she could think of at the moment.

"I'll pay attention to everything you say, Tianwen..."

"Please don't say that. I'll give you everything. For things like that, let's meet on the court, okay?"

"In return, I will give a performance worthy of being your rival. Please consider carefully everything I have said and be mindful of your duties as a Uma Musume."

The astronomer bowed, then turned and left the meeting. Her real purpose for staying here had actually been perfectly achieved. Staying any longer would be a waste of time, not to mention...

She must make Gotham Anthem truly think carefully about what she just said and come up with the answers. She will feel at ease only after seeing the results. It is meaningless to just agree out of politeness.

Gotham Carol was lost in thought as he looked at the astronomer's back, while Haidu gave an apologetic smile.

"I'm sorry, Miss Gotham Carol, I don't know about this, but that kid really cares about fighting you..."

Haidu sighed and just added one sentence at the end.

"As long as I can force out your desire for victory, you'll be happy even if you fail, right? Perhaps this is the so-called honor of a challenger?"

After bidding farewell to Kaito City, Gotham Carol followed Aldan Mejiro up the stairs, intending to go to the room where they would stay tonight before talking. During this short journey, Gotham Carol remained silent.

She didn't say a word until the door closed and only the two of them were left in the private space.

At this time, Aldan Mejiro sat next to her.

"Are you still thinking about what just happened, Carol?"

"Hmm... Sister Aldan, I don't quite understand what you just said."

Mejiro Aldan smiled faintly. Indeed, what he just said was impossible for either Twilight Song or Gotham Carol to understand directly, right? So…

Megumi Aldan closed her legs and patted her lightly for guidance, and only spoke softly after Gotham Carol, who was holding her hair down, lay down.

"There's no way to understand, right? But in my eyes, do you know how you're different from who you used to be?"

"I'm glad I know."

It's a rare moment of confusion, but isn't it also cute?

Aldan Mejiro stroked Gotham Carol's hair and told her what he saw and said.

"You used to equate life with victory, and you ruthlessly tore apart all your opponents."

I'm not...eh? I mean?!

"Well, after getting the chance to run again, the pursuit of victory is almost gone. If it weren't for Ura, maybe Carol wouldn't have even chosen to debut, right?"

Megumi Aldan's tone was gentle but firm. She might even understand Gotham Carol's mentality better than Gotham Carol herself. With such a clear indication, the person lying down finally understood everything the astronomer wanted to say at that moment.
