She drawled out the last syllable.
"Remember to cheer for me later! Shout really, really loudly! Just like you did during the competition!"
"Think beautifully!"
The tone of the poem and the wine is extremely detached.
"I'll be going now! See you later!"
Lingzuan Qibao waved her hand, her silver-gray ponytail swaying with her light steps.
Her figure gradually disappeared into the distance, passing through the passageway beside the track and heading towards the backstage area of the stage.
Poetry and Wine stood still, watching that silver-gray figure disappear into the distance.
A gentle breeze blew by, lifting the stray white-streaked hairs that framing her forehead.
'The winner's stage... I don't think I've even started learning how to do it in real life yet... I'll have to see how it's set up later.'
She thought to herself silently.
……
The backstage area of the winner's stage.
Unlike the hustle and bustle of the stadium outside, a tense atmosphere permeated the space here.
In the spacious dressing room, the fourteen contestants were making their final preparations for the performance with the help of the staff.
The bright makeup mirror was filled with all kinds of cosmetics and hair accessories.
The uniform stage outfits were neatly hung on the clothes rack.
These stage outfits are elegant dresses in white and light blue as the main colors, with tiny sequins adorning the hem that shimmer and sparkle under the lights.
Lingzuan Qibao was standing in front of the full-length mirror, looking at herself, who still seemed somewhat unfamiliar in the mirror.
Her long, silver-gray hair had been meticulously styled by a stylist, with a few strands of shimmering hair accessories added, making her look dazzling.
The costume fit her figure perfectly, and the skirt swayed gently with her subtle movements.
Is this really me...?
Diamond Treasure blinked, looking at the girl in the mirror who looked like she had stepped out of an idol poster.
Just then, two figures approached, reflected in the mirror.
Diamond Treasure turned around and saw Emerald Ace and Crimson Flash standing behind her.
The two had already changed into their performance outfits, but they looked completely different from their arrogant and domineering demeanor before the competition.
Jade Ace lowered her head, her emerald eyes slightly red, clearly having cried secretly in a corner earlier.
Crimson Flash looked hesitant, her fiery red ponytail drooping, completely lacking the momentum she had at the start.
“That… Diamond Treasure.”
Jade Ace spoke first, his voice a little hoarse.
"May I bother you for a moment?"
"Hmm? Oh, sure."
Diamond Treasure turned around, her tone indifferent.
"Is there a problem?"
After a few seconds of silence, Jade Ace suddenly lowered her head, her long green hair falling down with the movement.
"sorry!"
The apology was loud, attracting curious glances from several women around who were putting on makeup.
"Before the match... I said a lot of hurtful things..."
Jade Ace's voice trembled slightly.
"I was too arrogant..."
She looked up, her reddened eyes filled with a mixture of resentment and admiration.
"You have completely surpassed me."
Crimson Flash also lowered its head.
"Me too... I'm sorry."
Her voice was much softer, tinged with shame.
"I used to laugh at you, saying, 'Are you here for a picnic?'... But it turns out I was the one who got weak in the knees on the last straight and was overtaken in one go."
Diamond Treasure paused for a moment, then waved his hand and gave an indifferent smile.
"Ah, those words~ I've long forgotten them."
The blue and white figure they were pursuing was named Miracle: Chapter 67 Shining
Diamond Treasure shrugged, its silver-gray horse ears twitching slightly.
"Everyone's nervous before a match, saying a few tough words to boost their courage is understandable. Besides..."
Diamond Treasure blinked, her tone becoming playful.
"To be honest, if someone hadn't been cheering me on the whole time, I probably would have done what you guys said and just dawdled my way to the finish line."
Jade Ace and Crimson Flash exchanged a glance.
"Speaking of this..."
Crimson Flash hesitated for a moment, a complex expression appearing on his face.
"During the match, I heard someone in the stands shouting things like 'peerless genius' and 'the strongest horse girl'... Was that your trainer?"
Lingzuan Qibao blushed slightly and scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly.
"Ah...yes, he's my trainer."
"That's wonderful..."
Jade Ace suddenly said softly, her tone filled with deep envy.
"It's really great to have a trainer like that."
She lowered her head, her voice becoming low.
“My trainer is very professional and his tactical analysis is also very accurate. But he would never cheer me on like that… without any regard for his image.”
Crimson Flash gave a wry smile.
“Me too. My trainer is always very calm, just standing there with a stopwatch recording the data during the competition. I have never been expected to be so enthusiastically and unreservedly by anyone.”
She looked up, her eyes brimming with envy.
"When I heard that voice, I was momentarily distracted."
“I was thinking, if I had a trainer like that, would I be able to run even faster… and then you actually caught up from behind.”
Jade Ace took over the conversation, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips.
"Your trainer believes in you, and you're working hard to meet her expectations. That feeling... is really enviable."
Diamond Treasure listened quietly.
After the two finished speaking.
She turned back and gave the two of them a bright smile.
"But it was precisely because of her unwavering expectation that I was able to achieve such a result. So, good luck to you all in the next race!"
"...Yes, definitely."
Jade Ace nodded vigorously, a renewed fighting spirit rekindling in his eyes.
"When I win my debut match and come find you, I promise I won't lose to you again!"
Just then, the backstage announcement came on:
"Please get ready, all contestants. The winners' stage will begin in ten minutes. Please line up in the backstage corridor according to your ranking."
"Ah, it's about to begin!"
Lingzuan Qibao quickly straightened her skirt and took a deep breath.
"Let's go, let's go on stage together!"
"Ah."
Jade Ace nodded, then looked at Diamond Treasure.
"Today's spotlight is yours. Enjoy it, number one."
Crimson Flash also revealed a sincere smile.
"Next time, I'll take that spot back!"
"Alright~ Then we'll be waiting for your challenge~"
Diamond Treasure responded with a smile.
Then, with light steps, they walked towards the passageway leading to the stage.
The fourteen horse girls lined up in order of their ranking.
Standing at the very front of the group, about to take center stage, Lingzuan Qibao felt an unprecedented surge of excitement.
The lights came on, and the music started.
A silver-gray figure stepped onto the stage that belonged only to Uma Musume Girls.
The lights suddenly went out again.
On the entire stage of the Zhongjing Racecourse, only the sunlight was still falling.
Hundreds of audience members held their breath, waiting for the stage performance to begin.
Then--
"Thump—!"
A heavy drumbeat, like a heartbeat, resounded.
A pure white spotlight suddenly shone in the center of the stage.
At the center of that light, fourteen horse girls dressed in gorgeous costumes stood in neat rows.
And standing at the very front, in the center position, is the silver-gray figure who performed perfectly on the field today.
Diamond Treasure.
The sequins on the costumes shimmered with tiny sparkles under the lights.
Her long, silver-gray hair was adorned with an intricately woven hair accessory.
The prelude melody rises slowly like the dawn, while the brass instruments play a loud and stirring horn sound, as if announcing the birth of a new star.
Diamond Treasure took a deep breath and sang the first line—
"Sound of the sound of the sound of the sound"
(Sound the horn, let it reach the end)
"The future of radiance and the future of the future"
(Because I want to see that shining future with you)
Her clear singing voice resonated throughout the stadium, as melodious and pleasant as a silver bell.
The audience erupted in cheers.
The sea of glow sticks began to sway rhythmically, and cheers rose and fell like waves.
The fourteen horse girls began their dance moves simultaneously.
Her skirt fluttered, and her hair danced in the wind.
