I, the horse racing girl, really didn’t sprint!

So if you lose, you lose.

But Barbatos might not be able to run a few more races?

For a moment, people who liked Barbatos felt very upset.

It's like I was suddenly hit by a double blow. How could this happen?

……

Tresen Academy.

Shenying was lying on the bed, the mask on his face had been taken off.

The scenes of the Dream Cup and the matches between Barbatos and the legends are still emerging in my mind.

As a horse girl of the same generation, she did not feel sorry for Barbatos because he lost the race. She was just putting herself into the race and thinking whether she could run better than Barbatos if it were her.

Her goal has never been the Dream Cup, nor has she cared too much about Triple Crown-level events.

Her goal has always been the Arc de Triomphe Contest in France. She wants to defeat the prominent families in the Arc de Triomphe Contest and become the world's number one horse racing girl.

But after watching today's game.

If Legend represents the top level in Japan, Emperor can be said to be the group of horse girls standing at the top of the world.

So……

"Can I really win the Arc de Triomphe now?"

Such doubts echoed in my mind.

Under normal circumstances, when she is wearing a mask, she will definitely say with extreme confidence that she can win, but when she takes off the mask, she will have some thoughts.

In the dim dormitory.

Cao Shangfei was holding a mobile phone, the light from the phone shone on her face, and the video of Dream Cup was still playing on the screen.

After her leg injury is fully recovered, she will also participate in this competition, competing with Barbatos and her predecessors on the same track.

Just then, a message popped up.

Cao Shangfei wanted to cross it out, but after seeing the words on it, he clicked on it.

After a while, her squinted eyes opened.

For a moment, the expression on her face was one of astonishment and confusion. As a classmate who spent every day with her, she didn't know this.

It was Barbatos, so they didn't have to say anything.

"Little Eagle..."

She called out softly. As Condor's roommate, she could guess that Condor was still awake and had not gone to bed yet.

"The minibus may not be able to run for many more races."

"what?"

The Condor got up in confusion, and only after reading the electronic version of the Tokyo Daily headlines pushed to it did he understand what Xiaocao meant.

"how so……"

Although she and Barbatos have never participated in the same competition.

But in her heart, she had long regarded Barbatos as her rival, and she also worked hard for this rival.

Now it is reported that Barbatos may not be able to participate in many games due to injury?

This made her unable to accept it for a while.

The Cherry Blossom Shooting Tournament is held in April, followed by the G1-level races of the Spring Emperor's Shooting Tournament, the NHK Mile Cup, the Victoria Mile, the Kashiwa Kinen, the Japanese Oaks, the Yasuda Kinen, the Takarazuka Kinen, and the Emperor's Shooting Tournament, among others.

If it is true as reported.

The only things she and Barbatos could definitely encounter were the cherry blossom viewing and the Japan Oaks Tournament.

After the first year of his debut race, there were too many G1 races for him to participate in the second year, except for the 3200-meter long-distance Spring Emperor's Stakes, which Barbatos would definitely not participate in.

Barbatos seems to be able to participate in other competitions, even the G1 on mud track.

If this is the case, Barbatos, his rival, may have to retire soon...

"Little Grass~"

Condor took a deep breath, picked up the mask on the bedside and put it on himself.

The tone that had been a little soft suddenly became full of confidence. "After tomorrow's New Year's visit to the shrine, I want to start preparing for the cherry blossom viewing."

"No matter how many more races Barbatos can run, I will beat her during the cherry blossom viewing."

"Then!"

"Win the Arc de Triomphe again!"

"Finally, defeat the president and win the Winter Dream Cup!"

No matter what Barbatos does, giving his all in the game is the greatest respect for friends and rivals.

Next, you must practice harder than before.

If possible, she would like to beat the seniors in the team. She would go to the seniors for parallel running practice to push herself to her limits!

When the cherry blossom viewing season comes, she will face Barbatos with her strongest form!

Chapter 189 Do you want to come to my house?

The night is already deep.

Time has come to the end of Reiwa 2 and the beginning of Reiwa 3.

Most of the Umamusume fans are still awake at night. Some may still be re-watching the Dream Cup, while others are sad about Barbatos' injury.

But more people, whether they watch Uma Musume or not, are paying New Year's respects at the shrine.

For people in Japan, the most important thing to do on the first day of the new year is to visit the shrine, visit nearby shrines and temples, and pray for peace in the new year.

Bunches of fireworks bloomed in the air, lighting up the sky and announcing the arrival of the new year.

Barbatos lay on the bed in the dormitory, tilting his head and looking through the window at the fireworks blooming faintly in the distance, but he couldn't see clearly.

For Uma Musume, especially for her.

Even more important than the New Year's visit is the Winter Dream Cup.

Most of the Uma Musume tend to postpone their visits to shrines and temples and choose to visit them on the first night of the new year.

Because only after the Winter Dream Cup ends does it mean the end of one year and the beginning of a new year.

"I really want to celebrate the New Year with Nebula Sky."

"Then let's go to the shrine together for the New Year's visit."

Fireworks are reflected in my eyes, and when I see these fireworks, I instinctively think of the nebula sky and the scene of couples going to the shrine to worship together.

Half a year has passed since she traveled here. This is her first time to celebrate the New Year in this world, and she wants to spend it with the person she loves.

She wanted to confess her love to the starry sky through the fireworks at night while visiting the shrine. That was what she had thought at first.

If I were the champion in the Dream Cup, or if I had defeated several legendary horse girls, even if I was the second to last, I might have had the courage to invite Xingyun Tiankong to join me in the New Year's Shrine and confess my love to him during the visit.

but now.

Even though Nebula Sky didn't think there was anything wrong with his defeat in the Dream Cup, his fans still encouraged him, cheered him on, and urged him to try again next time.

But I couldn't get through this level after all, and now I am just a loser after all.

Can I really confess my love to Xingyun Tiankong when I am like this?

Barbatos didn't know, but at least, it should be after achieving one of the three goals: becoming a Triple Crown Horse Girl, winning the Spring and Autumn Championships, or defeating a legendary horse girl, right?

She thinks so.

Tomorrow she and Ulala will return to Kochi City.

All horse girls from Japan will return to their hometown to pay homage during the New Year, and only horse girls from other countries will stay at Tresen Academy.

Normally, she would return to Kochi City with Ulala, and then go to the local shrine in Kochi City to pay New Year's respects together.

Although there will still be a lot of people visiting tomorrow, it will be much fewer than it is now.

This is what can be understood from the memories of the previous life.

In this case, even if you have a leg injury and need to use a wheelchair, it will not have much impact.

After the worship is over, it’s time to prepare for the next competition.

Even if we lose the Dream Cup, we cannot dwell on the failure. Just like what Senior Qi Cao said, we cannot lose our spirit.

We need to prepare better for the next competition, not underestimate any horse girl, and strive to win the title of Triple Crown Horse Girl.

Whether the opponent is the Condor or other G1-level horse girls, they are not weaklings and are all targets that require all efforts.

Wait until after the worship.

I used [Treatment] to heal my leg injury, and then did weight-bearing exercises on the treadmill at home.

Put the original focus of League of Legends on endurance training.

There aren't many things that can increase my speed right now. As far as acceleration is concerned, I'm no worse than the legendary horse girl, I just lack in duration and endurance.

You must work hard on your endurance.

Ulala has become much stronger than when she first entered school. Since she has a systematic approach and can disregard her physical condition, why can't she practice even harder and improve her endurance to the level of a legendary horse girl?

There's a limit to speed, but not to endurance.

With the system cheat, I should have the opportunity to accumulate endurance to the level of a monster, and achieve the point of fully activating [The Way of Man]!

Then, I can use injury as an excuse and ask Minamisaka to help me ask Rudolph for a symbolic leave to go to the cherry blossom viewing area.

Spend four months focusing on practicing in this area and strive to make up for my shortcomings.

Although the exercises on the treadmill are not as effective as running on the training ground, the fact that one can recover quickly is still incredible and cannot be exposed. One cannot run on Treson's training ground during the period of one's "injury".

Even though it was a private venue, there was no way to tell Minamisaka and the other friends.

"I don't want to lose any more games in the future."

……

The next morning.

Barbatos and Nebula Sky each carried a backpack and gathered at the gate of Tresen Academy with Canopus' friends.

Next they will go home to celebrate the New Year, which can be regarded as a farewell here. The next time they meet will be after the New Year.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Nanban's voice came from a distance. He was the last one to arrive here today.

Unlike before, this time he did not walk on his legs, but sat in a wheelchair.

It's in stark contrast to Barbatos.

"Mr. Trainer, your legs?!!"

The horse racing girls of cosopus all ran up and surrounded Minamisaka, looking a little worried. Barbatos was also helped by Xingyun Tiankong to push his wheelchair forward, and they didn't understand what was wrong with Minamisaka's leg?

Did he fall after we separated last night?

"I am fine."

Nanban stood up from the wheelchair with a smile, indicating that there was nothing wrong with his legs.

Then he looked at Barbatos and said, "After a leg injury, daily life will always be inconvenient. This is a wheelchair specially prepared by the academy for injured horse girls. Try it."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Nanban was fine.

Only then did he realize the difference between this wheelchair and the one Barbatos was currently sitting in.

If Barbatos is sitting in a traditional wheelchair, then this is an electric wheelchair that moves forward automatically, and it should be a rechargeable type.

Upon hearing this, Barbatos got on the wheelchair with the help of Xingyun Tiankong. The buttons on the wheelchair were very simple and he could understand how to operate it at a glance.

Although this wheelchair may not accompany her for long.

But she received Nanzaka's kindness, "Thank you."

"This is what a trainer should do. You must rest well during this New Year holiday. Then we can win the Cherry Blossom Festival again."
