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

The corner of Gotham Carol's mouth twitched. She didn't know how to react to such words.

However, Uma Musume is indeed driven by nature to challenge the strong. Anyone who has ever stepped onto the track and felt the comfortable breeze will understand the reason.

The scenery where you are alone is so beautiful, especially when there are people chasing you desperately behind you.

The main reason why Gotham Carol was at a loss as to what to do about the East Sea Emperor's reaction was...

How should she respond to such passionate feelings?

Give your all on the field?

But if that were the case, wouldn't the heart of the Emperor of the East China Sea really be suddenly crushed to pieces?

Then just be a little more restrained and give in?

But how do we explain the discovery made by such an astute guy like the Emperor of the East China Sea?

In short, Gotham Carol really doesn't know what identity it should use to face the Emperor of the East China Sea, especially after the other party made such a serious declaration of rivalry.

"It's okay, Ode. Just use all your strength to the fullest. That Emperor of the East Sea would also want something like this, right?"

In such a situation, Little Chestnut was particularly perceptive. She directly noticed Gotham Carol's mood, and there was even a flash of determination and burning passion in her eyes that Gotham Carol could not see through.

"That's all there is to it, the matchup in the Japan Cup."

"Is Carol going to participate in the Japan Cup?"

Gotham Carol temporarily put aside her speculation about the East Sea Emperor's thoughts.

It's strange, why do I always feel that Xiaoli's attitude is a little weird, as if he is expecting something.

Gotham Carol always felt that the burning expression of the person next to him was particularly familiar, as if he had seen it today.

But after thinking about it, the silly face of the little chestnut hat doesn't match anything in the memory of Gotham Carol...

Forget it, what bad intentions could Little Limao have?

"Well, my goal is the Japan Cup."

And the previous few competitions... uh, the Chrysanthemum Award and Arima Kinen after the Japan Cup?

This classic year of my life should be just like this, there is no need to be so grand.

Although, Gotham Anthem always feels that if she really does what she wants and realizes it, she will in some sense become a more famous person among Japanese horse racing girls than she used to be.

Well, she still wants to participate in the Japan Cup and put the only international competition here under her feet.

"Japan Cup, oh, I see. So, you'll give it your all on the field, right?"

"Right...right? At least they won't let you go."

If they give their all, they might be in Mejiro Castle as soon as they leave the arena. At least they won't use any content with obvious characteristics, and as for the rest, Gotham Anthem certainly has no reason to keep anything.

She learned a lot of strange things from the others at Sanzu River...

"Then I've decided, next year if there's a carol competition."

"What…?"

Gotham Carol looked at Little Chestnut Hat, but no matter how she looked, she could see a different expression on the faces of the people around her.

It was a familiar face with an innocent smile, yet showing confidence, courage and determination, and a firm belief that he would win.

The Emperor of the East Sea...?! When did he come?

Wait a minute, it’s the Emperor of the East China Sea who looks like Oguri, but why do these two people have such similar expressions at this moment?

Gotham Carol's crisis radar was constantly sounding warnings, and in a panic she caught the key point in Ogurashi's words just now.

Oguruma confirmed with her whether she would participate in the Japan Cup and whether she would give her all.

Considering Uma Musume’s personality… No, that’s not possible?

"The song has been decided. I will also participate in the Japan Cup."

Xiao Li Mao took a deep breath, and then an unprecedented determination and seriousness flashed on his cheeks.

"I want to have a real battle with you on the field, giving it your all."

"We agreed to a battle to decide the winner!"

Chapter 37: Airi Tacho's First Show of Power

When Gotham Carol woke up the next morning, it had not yet recovered from the battle with Chestnut, but today's accidents had already happened one after another.

How to describe it?

Gotham Carol had actually been aware of the possibility of such a problem a long time ago, but when faced with it, it was still a little at a loss.

She looked at herself in the mirror and tilted her head.

Then the girl with long black and white hair made exactly the same move.

Well, her hair was black before the transformation was completed, but it seemed that it would turn completely white after the transformation was completed.

Simply put—

After the transformation is completed, the former Bo Mu Liu Ge will reappear in this world.

But then again, it's a little unlikely that Bo Mu Liu Ge would reappear in this world.

Because the day when the characterization is completed may be the day when Gotham Carol is captured and taken to Mejiro Castle.

They are so similar that even she herself has to say that they are exactly the same.

Before the characterization is completed, Gotham Carol can still create some different points by changing hair color and hairstyle.

But what happens after the authenticity is achieved?

The hair color, body shape and face shape are exactly the same, so what's the point of changing the hairstyle?

In a panic, Gotham Carol walked out the door without even washing up, ready to find a way to solve this dilemma.

Is it really necessary to dye it?

Opening the closet door, Gotham Carol took out the hooded gown she had prepared for this situation a long time ago, but before she could put it on, there was a knock on the door.

Gotham Carol, who was confused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then wrapped himself in his coat as he did every time he opened the door.

At this time, it was probably the emperor, right?

Open the door? What if it's Mebai Guangming?!

Gotham Carol asked cautiously, but the voice that came back was completely unexpected.

It turned out to be Airi Hayabusa's voice.

……

"You mean, while your transformation into a personality is still in progress?"

"Ah."

"You mean, after you complete your transformation, you'll be like the legend you once were?"

"Ah."

"You mean, you don't want to be taken to Mejiro Castle, so you want to dye your hair?"

"Ah."

Elly Speed ​​held her chin and walked around Gotham Carol, who was sitting upright on a stool.

She is...

Believed it.

We horse racing girls are all about science. Do you understand scientific horse racing? Scientific horse racing.

Reincarnation is totally impossible, this should just be a simple resemblance...right?

Elise believes that such a thing is possible. After all, no matter how small the probability is, it is still greater than zero percent.

As for whether it is really reincarnation?

How could that be possible? How could it be possible? It was even stranger than that "friend" at the Manchester teahouse.

"So, what do you have in mind?"

It was Ali Speed ​​who broke the silence first. She sat opposite Gotham Carol and suddenly had a good idea.

Gotham Carol was naturally unaware of what Elise was thinking. After careful consideration, she gave what she thought was the most likely method.

"Um... sneaking out to dye your hair now?"

"Oh—? What if someone sees us?"

Elise hit the nail on the head, and she really did touch upon the point that Gotham Carol cares about the most right now.

What if someone sees me when I go to dye my hair?

What’s even more terrifying is—

What if the place where Gotham Carol goes is the Mejiro family’s territory?

Scary to think about, right?!

"So, how about listening to my method?"

Gotham Carol looked at Ally Speedy and for some reason felt a chill run down his spine.

Um, Alihazuko shouldn't be here yet, right?

Not yet...right?

Gotham Carol could still fantasize for a while until she followed Ali Speedy to the activity room.

But unfortunately, when Gotham Anthem saw that it was full of experimental equipment, he knew it.

The person in front of him was no longer Alice, she should be called "Mad Scientist Alice."

"Hayako... sis? What are you doing here?"

"Of course, I'm here to help you with your hair color problem? Is there any other possibility?"

"Solve the hair color? Come here...?"

"Hair dyeing is too slow, there are too many uncertainties, and it may not be very effective. Why not try mine? It will definitely be more effective."

The corner of Gotham Carol's mouth twitched.

Really, really?

Although he was still skeptical in his heart, when he saw that Alice Speedo had skillfully prepared a cup of pretty good potion, Gotham Carol showed signs of giving in - at least Alice Speedo was so skilled that it didn't seem like she was trying to cheat.

After Airi Suzuko repeatedly assured her that there was no danger and no particularly serious side effects, at most she would just be a little sleepy, and that there would be no such problem after she got used to it.

In fact, there is another reason, which is that the new universe did not say that she could not do this - the hair color problem should be something that the self in every universe will inevitably encounter, right?

So after considering this, Gotham Carol finally closed his eyes and swallowed the potion in his hand in one gulp.

"Ugh...! This tastes terrible!!"

Gotham Carol shouted so loudly, then put the bottle on the table and stood up suddenly to find water to dilute the taste in his mouth.

Elissako, who was well prepared for this, pushed a cup of black tea to her with a strange smile.

Hee, coffee, your cousin drinks black tea.

As Elly Hayabusa watched Gotham Anthem quaffing his tea, she mentally marked herself a victory.

Even though no one else would know about this, Airi Suzuko still considered it a major victory for herself.

Well, after Songge finishes drinking the black tea, she will fall to the ground, and then her hair color will gradually change... countdown?

nineteen…

Finally putting down her teacup, Gotham Carol breathed lightly, then looked up at herself in the mirror, only to find that she hadn't changed at all, so she looked at Elly Hayate in confusion.

"Don't worry, it will be resolved soon."

"What..."

Three, two, one…

"Just wait a moment..."
