Uma Musume: Broken Supercar

The entrance to the Kyoto stadium was already crowded with people. Wen Jing stood in the corner with Phalaenopsis waiting for the stadium to open, but noticed Kuronuma trainer and Miura Bourbon in the distance.

“Mi Yu should be nearby now, but definitely not among the crowd.”

Wen Jing grabbed Phalaenopsis's arm.

Phalaenopsis shrugged and tried to make some space for both of them, "How can you be so sure?"

"Mi Yu is quite shy and won't be able to squeeze in with a group of people."

Wen Jing said this, noticing that the people at the front had started to move, and she held onto Phalaenopsis to prevent herself from being pushed away.

Although the two tried hard to move forward, it still took them a long time to enter the stands.

After the two of them entered, Wen Jing easily caught the sound of the golden ship -

"The Emperor of the East Sea bento! Mejiro McQueen bento!"

Wen Jing's mouth twitched, and she quickly locked onto the position of the golden boat, took Phalaenopsis around it, and then spent some effort to squeeze to the railing.

“This angle is pretty good.”

"Well, I remember that the competition plan that Wen Jing sent out at the beginning of this year included the Emperor's appreciation of spring, right?"

"Yes, this is the time for recuperation. It's so uncomfortable to have acupuncture every day..."

Wen Jing hung herself on the railing and said, "I will participate in this Takarazuka Memorial."

"Eh?"

Phalaenopsis was stunned for a moment. "Can she really catch up? Judging from the reports and the updates from the symbolist, Wen Jing is in a very bad state."

"Do you think I can't run away now?"

Wen Jing tilted her head to look at Phalaenopsis, but noticed that the parade was over - the horse girls were passing through the passage to the gate car.

The cheers around made Wen Jing narrow her eyes and her gaze fell on those horse girls.

"Oh~ McQueen is out."

Wen Jing looked at Mejiro McQueen wearing his new finals suit and said, "This finals suit is so beautiful."

Butterfly Orchid let Wen Jing rest her head on her shoulder, "The East China Sea Emperor's victory suit is also very beautiful."

"Agreed, I like this outfit of the Emperor, it looks super cute."

Wen Jing was talking, and suddenly realized that she had something else to ask, "By the way, how does it feel to retire?"

Phalaenopsis turned her head to look at Wen Jing, only to find that Wen Jing's eyes were shining with curiosity. "Well, there is a lot of time. Without the pressure brought by the competition, I still prefer the time when I was still competing."

Wen Jing thought for a moment, "Do you regret it?"

"How could I regret it..."

Phalaenopsis hadn't finished her words when she noticed Mejiro McQueen, who was nailing horseshoes at the gate in the distance, "He got his horseshoes nailed before the race."

Wen Jing hummed, "Phalaenopsis, who do you think will win?"

"I trust Mejiro McQueen more."

Phalaenopsis said, "I don't know why, but I always have a feeling that Mebai McQueen is more free of distractions."

Wen Jing tilted her head, "Can you tell me why you chose to retire?"

"of course."

Phalaenopsis pinched Wen Jing's face and said, "Wen Jing can actually be confused. This is the first time I know this."

"It's normal. My original goal was to win the Arima Kinen tournament consecutively, but I was forced to do it twice because of my physical condition. I also wanted to win the Triumphal Arch Tournament consecutively, or even three times in a row, but my physical condition doesn't seem to allow me to continue."

Wen Jing shrugged, her eyes fixed on the big screen in the distance.

"Who will win the Spring Emperor Award, the Emperor of the East Sea who has won seven races in a row, or the undisputed strongest long-distance racehorse girl, Mejiro McQueen?!"

"14 horse girls are betting their dignity on the Spring Emperor Prize!"

"The game begins!"

Wen Jing looked at Mejiro Zenshin who quickly moved forward to take the lead, touched his chin, and after turning into the first front stand, he muttered softly, "Well, the pace is still average, about 62 seconds for a thousand meters."

"Eh? Can you estimate so accurately?"

Phalaenopsis glanced at Wen Jing in surprise, then looked at the distance and time displayed on the big screen.

The time taken to complete the thousand-meter race was almost the same as Wen Jing's estimate, and there was not much gap between the groups of horse girls rushing through the stands.

"The believers will lose momentum after turning the fourth corner, so the speed should be maintained. As for Emperor and McQueen, they haven't trained together recently, so I don't know."

Wen Jing gave another evaluation, and Phalaenopsis was even more surprised, "But the believers don't look tired at all."

"This is a hunch. She is already struggling to hold on."

Wen Jing sighed. It was indeed very difficult to escape long distances.

Phalaenopsis had a complicated expression, "When does Wen Jing think McQueen and Emperor will sprint?"

“There are turns three and four, but the final battle will be on the straight.”

Wen Jing spoke in a low voice. As they were about to enter the third bend, the Emperor of the East China Sea indeed took the lead in launching an attack - the challenger's courageous advance.

Mejiro McQueen immediately accepted the challenge, and just after passing the third bend, Mejiro McQueen had already caught Mejiro Yoshinobu and successfully pulled his head out.

For Wen Jing, although she had never participated in a competition with the Emperor of the East China Sea, based on her understanding of Mejiro McQueen, at a time like this, Mejiro Tank, which completely let go of itself, would definitely not lose.

"The Emperor's last chance, a powerful explosion from her soft knees."

Wen Jing silently came to the final conclusion, "But for McQueen, the iron hoof prints from his predecessors will not disappear just like that."

"yes……"

Phalaenopsis sighed, watching the awkward running posture of the Emperor of the East Sea after entering the straight line. Mejiro Zenshin had begun to be gradually overtaken. Ueno Chikan and another horse girl had already passed the Emperor of the East Sea, but they were still unable to close the distance with Mejiro McQueen...

"I chose to retire because the Queen Elizabeth Cup completely exhausted my energy. If I have to say whether I have any regrets..."

After a long silence, Phalaenopsis looked at the notice board in the distance, and then her eyes moved to the East Sea Emperor and Mebai McQueen hugging each other, "If I had to do it again, I would still make the same choice."

Wen Jing shook her ears and waited for Phalaenopsis to continue.

"In fact, I had the inexplicable thought of 'it doesn't matter if I lose' a long time ago. Although when the three queens' championships just ended, many people said that I was so miserable because I met Wen Jing."

People around them kept leaving, but the two of them still stood in front of the railing. "Then, I was hit by Wen Jing many times, and my spirit was constantly worn away by the repeated losses. But after seeing Wen Jing's performance in the Takarazuka Kinen, the Irish St. Leger Stakes and the Arc de Triomphe, I felt the desire to win again after a long time."

"It's like crossing a distant sky. The spark in my heart is burning again. I don't want others to say that Wen Jing was able to open up such a gap in the three queen crowns because we queen crown horse girls are too weak."

“As long as you keep running, the possibilities are endless.”

Phalaenopsis rubbed Wen Jing's head with her hand, "After all, Wen Jing has always believed that will can transcend the flesh."
