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

It’s just that simple!!!

Gotham Carol was silent, then grabbed the chair and left Secretariat's side. She shrank to a corner on the other side that was big enough for her to curl up in, and covered her eyes and cheeks with her hands.

This, this kind of thing, this kind of thing...I am simply too embarrassed to face anyone!

This is so much weirder than going on stage and reading a script or something.

Collapse often happens in a flash, so under the gaze of two friendly eyes, the originally "aggressive" Gotham Carol fell completely into silence.

However, this tremor was fleeting, and Gotham Carol fully recovered at an astonishing speed.

She lowered her hands, then sat back in her original position in a rather elegant manner with her body straight, and looked ahead with her bright eyes.

The change was so huge that if Secretariat had not been able to clearly see the pink color on Gotham Carol's neck that had not faded, he would have suspected that he was experiencing a huge hallucination.

Amidst such uncertainty, Secretariat tentatively called out the Gotham Anthem in a low voice.

"Miss Carol...?"

"Hey, I'm here, Ms. Secretariat. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Gotham Carol's performance was flawless, and she was so elegant that it seemed as if she wasn't Gotham Carol. While Secretariat fell silent because of her performance, the brave dancer in the front row laughed out loud. She even slammed on the brakes and turned to the side of the road to find a suitable place to stop.

Why would the brave dancer do this?

Because she wanted to laugh.

She kept laughing, even leaning on the steering wheel and still laughing, without stopping at all.

The Secretariat couldn't help laughing. She really didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

How to describe it?

If the Miss Carol in front of him was a lady from that family, she would definitely be praised for being well-educated and good in every way. But if her name was Gotham Carol, then nothing about her would be good.

How could Miss Carol look so quiet? Even the brave dancer in front of her almost fainted from laughing because of what happened just now. How could she still show such a calm and composed expression in the presence of two people?

Answer: Of course not.

Maybe, possibly, probably, the Gotham Carol that Secretariat and Dancing Brave were familiar with has died briefly?

Ah, Gotham Carol is dead again. Will he be resurrected from Sanzu River this time?

I don't know how long it took Secretariat and Brave Dancer to calm down completely. In the end, the three of them decided to leave the car here and contact a designated driver to drive it back to where it was supposed to be. Fortunately, the remaining distance was not far, so in the end, Secretariat and Brave Dancer held Gotham Carol on each side and walked back to Mejiro Castle.

The three of them were all horse girls, and were even considered to be at the top level in historical legends. Such a short distance was naturally no problem for them. Apart from their slow speed, they still returned to Mejiro Castle before the sun completely set.

Among the three people, who consumed the most physical energy, or who collapsed on the sofa as soon as he returned to Mejiro Castle? Who was the most tired?

It is the youngest and supposedly the most powerful Gotham anthem!

There is no other reason. As mature adults, although the Secretariat and the Brave Dancer did not deliberately change into particularly gorgeous costumes, their own aura and long-term fame are there, and they don't need any additional content to add anything when they stand there.

What's more...even if the height of the two people cannot be said to be intimidating in any sense, it can be said that it is not a shortcoming.

And Gotham Carol, who was totally inadequate and even seriously lacking in this aspect, not only wore the big Lolita skirt that Secretariat bought for her, but also wore a pair of high-soled platform shoes!

This made it impossible for her to maintain her elegant state when she was about to reach her destination. The fatigue and pain in her feet completely brought back the appearance of the Gotham Carol. In the end, she was hugged by the waist all the way back home, which was like being half-carried.

In short, Gotham Carol strengthens one's cognition and determination.

That's something about height. Since she has no ability to change it, then just let it go. Don't torture yourself with things like platform shoes that will increase height but make people tired.

Anyway, at my height, I'm still the Gotham Anthem, so it doesn't really matter, right?

After resting on the sofa for a while, Gotham Carol, who felt a slight tingling sensation when walking, was helped by Aldan Mejiro into the bathtub. It was not until she lay in bed at night that she felt that a lot of things had happened that day and finally she sighed deeply.

It’s been a very eventful day… Maybe it was a huge mistake for me to go to the Central to see the emperor or something?

Gotham Carol was at a loss for words, so she closed her eyes and moved closer to Aldan Mejiro who was beside her. She even took the initiative to hug her sister's arm affectionately.

Hehe, my sister Aldan is the best.

Two old guys, you two...!

The most annoying!

Chapter 136: The Dead Have No Future

"What's wrong? Why are you so depressed?"

"Nothing, just thinking about something."

However, Mejiro Aldan did notice some clues.

What could make Gotham Carol wander around like this at this time with an expression like a puppy who is afraid of being abandoned?

"Is it about that Mu Liuge on the Dream Cup?"

"Oh, no, no..."

Gotham Carol subconsciously denied it, but after meeting Aldan Mebiru's concerned, even all-seeing eyes, she just nodded slightly, as if to admit such a thing.

"A little... okay, a lot. I just can't figure it out. If a completely different Mu Liuge really appeared on the Dream Cup, then what am I?"

"Then of course it's an ode? There's really no need to hesitate, my silly sister."

Altan Mejiro felt a little helpless, but she could completely understand such a thing. If she had been walking on the road that day and suddenly knew that the three goddesses said that there would be an Altan Mejiro who was not a glass foot, powerful and unmatched, she might actually fall into this kind of hesitation, right?

This is not something that is easy to say, but rather a denial of everything that Mejiro Aldan had in the past.

After all, this is what the three goddesses said would happen, and we can't reassure ourselves by saying it's just fake news.

However, Aldan Mejiro has not encountered such a thing, and because of this, she was able to completely jump out of such a window and use more objective reasons to reassure Gotham Carol.

"If there really is such a person as Mu Liuge, I don't think I would mind being her sister Aldan. The same goes for sister Gao Feng."

"Eh…?"

Meguro Aldan said this, then she lay flat on her back and picked up Gotham Carol, who was stunned on the side. She gently comforted her sister in her arms, who had no idea how to react to what she had just heard, and then she uttered the second half of the sentence, which was more crucial.

"But! That just means we have one more person to take care of us. Or, even though that is indeed Dusk Song, she is not Gotham Carol."

"Wait, wait, wait, I, I don't understand what this sentence means. Sister Aldan, don't say such vague words... Even if you mean something bad, tell me clearly..."

Gotham Carol's tone became low, and she even lowered her eyes, looking at Aldan in the rain, as if she was once again drenched by the rain and became depressed.

In the face of such an ode to Gotham, Aldan Mejiro lifted her bangs and kissed her gently.

"But Song Ge, isn't Mu Liu Ge your past? And isn't the person next to us now Song Ge, not our sister who has passed away and will never come back?"

"We've been through a lot together. If Bo Mu Liu Ge is the past, then it's possible that we liked her more in the past, because for us back then, Bo Mu Liu Ge was the only one we could see."

Mejiro Aldan thought he had made himself very clear, but all he could see was Gotham Carol's eager gaze.

How long has it been since I saw such a hymn?

The last time I saw her so soft, afraid and insecure was many years ago, before she experienced that rainy day at the Arc de Triomphe and was discovered vomiting blood on the field because she was blocked from the front, right?

You are really my silly little sister. We have been accomplices all along. Is it possible that Bo Mu Liuge is the only one who has been bound by such emotions?

You're wrong. The so-called accomplice is a lifelong relationship, even surpassing the intimacy of lovers. Even if we've changed our names, we're still tightly connected now...

As Aldane Mejiro thought so, she took Gotham Carol's hand and placed the palm of the person in her arms against her chest so that she could clearly feel her heartbeat, while Aldane Mejiro herself pressed her cheek tightly against her sister's.

This is what an accomplice relationship is like. Even if we change our names and identities, we will still be imprisoned and bound forever, right?

No one can escape, no one.

However, if this matter is not said out loud, Songge will not feel at ease, right?

It is one thing to guess and understand it yourself, but it is another thing entirely to hear it confirmed in person.

"But that was us in the past. Now, after going through so much more and finding you again, how could we abandon our lovely sister just because of the past that caught up with us?"

"No one can take you away from us, no one can, and in the end, Carol..."

Mujiro Aldara turned off the bedside lamp, then hugged his sister tightly under the quilt in the dark room, leaving only the last words as a conclusion and confirmation.

"We are accomplices for life, for life, ok?"

It transcends life and death, lifespan, and everything else. It is solely responsible for the bond between our souls. It is more intimate and reliable than lovers and romance, life and family, and it will never break...

An accomplice who will continue to exist until tomorrow, on the other side of the future.

Mejiro Aldan didn't say anything more. She just let Gotham Carol lean on her arms and listened to her heartbeat that had always been there.

Gotham Carol, who was slightly comforted, did not say much. She hugged Aldan Mejiro tightly, seeking more for the presence of her sister.

However, she actually understood a little bit about the feelings of the people around her.

After all, Bo Mu Liuge is just a person who existed in the past. She has experienced everything that Bo Mu Liuge and the people around her have experienced. Bo Mu Liuge has not created the interactions with the people around her. She has experienced much more!

Not to mention that Ruby and the others have never even seen Bo Mu Liu Ge. In this case, why should she be afraid of a ghost that only exists in the past?

Gotham Carol, there is no need to be afraid of the Dusk Song.

That was just her in the past, a shadow that wanted to catch up, a chattering shadow from the past that kept coming back for some reason. All she had to do was... defeat it.

Complete and utter victory in every sense of the word!

In the Dream Cup, I wish I could completely crush myself, who shouldn’t have been catching up to this point.

Yes, just do that.

The Dream Cup, huh... Looks like there's a reason I have to leave.

Gotham Carol always felt that he had found a reason that could barely make him feel at ease, and he kept saying this to himself. Then, in the dark night, he could not sleep at all and could only listen to his sister Aldan's heartbeat.

This went on and on, and she didn't know when it happened, but when she came to her senses, she had woken up and was asleep until dawn.

But what was surprising was that Aldan Mejiro was even hugging her and taking a rest, while Donna did not come on time today.

What? It’s already this late...?

The hands on the clock stopped at around half past eleven. This was so abnormal that Gotham Carol didn't know how to react for a moment.

Normally, Donna would come to her room before 9:30 in the morning, but why didn’t she come today…?

Forget it, Donna has her own things to do. Since there is nothing to do anyway, it seems it would be nice to slack off for a while.

Of course, Gotham Carol didn't think so, or rather, she didn't want to get out of bed just because she wanted to be lazy.

But...

Hehe, my sister Aldan is so pretty.

Gotham Carol was currently embracing Aldan Mejiro in bed, inseparable. The pony, resting her head in her sister's arms, had a perfect angle at this moment—

She clearly saw her sister's peaceful face as she slept soundly, and coupled with her slightly messy hair and the slanting sunlight hitting her from one side, it was truly an indescribable feeling.

Uh...it really whets your appetite in every sense of the word?

Gotham Carol, who even had such strange thoughts in his mind that he dared not speak them out loud, quickly tried every possible way to calm himself down, and then...

She was so immersed in it that she kept looking at her sister's sleeping face.

When she came to her senses, it was almost twelve o'clock. Gotham Carol finally climbed out of bed with great determination, then washed and changed clothes quietly, went out and was glad that she did not wake up her sister. Then she closed the door and walked from the living area to the more lively part of Mejiro Castle during the day.

However, after seeing Donna's slightly puzzled look, Gotham Carol became confused.

Strange, isn't Donna here?

And why are you looking at me like that?

Gotham Carol couldn't understand what Donna's eyes meant. It was as if she was filled with an inexplicable feeling, like envy and confusion, so complicated that it was completely incomprehensible.

I didn't do anything that would make Donna feel strange, right? Could it be because I got up at this hour?

"Actually, I went to call you this morning, Miss Carol, but Miss Aldan told me to let you sleep a little longer, so I didn't come until now."

"Sister Aldan? At nine o'clock in the morning...huh?"

Gotham Carol frowned. In her impression, her sister's daily routine was quite regular. This kind of thing was really abnormal, right?

How regular is Altan Mejiro's life? In fact, she is the most perfect horse girl in all of Mejiro Castle in terms of manners. Even Mejiro Takamine is inferior in comparison. So, for Altan Mejiro to do something else when it doesn't fit her schedule is really quite unusual.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Aldan must have seen that you weren't asleep, so she kept you company until you actually fell asleep. And since it was almost morning after you fell asleep, she must have been waiting for Donna to come before she went to sleep herself."

In other words, my sister Aldan only really falls asleep at ** o'clock...?

Gotham Carol remained silent. She looked at Mejiro Takamine, who had just explained and was flipping through the newspaper in his hand, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Even if it's to live up to Aldan's kindness, don't be afraid of the guy chasing you. Song Ge, she's no match for you, right?"

"Ah, yes, that's certainly not the case."
