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

Gotham Carol watched her wait from the rain until the funeral was about to begin...

Then, the original anticipation was worn away by the passage of time, until it was completely gone and turned into confusion, anxiety and sadness.

Was it abandoned? Was it disliked? Was it disgusted? Was it rejected? Don’t…

No, no ...

The answer is that no one can give an answer.

The crowds of people you can see are bustling, but how can phantoms be seen and contacted by people at ordinary times?

So, at the end of the funeral, Phantom Liuge wept and bid farewell to the indifferent and silent person who brought him into this world, and began a new life and journey relying on others.

However, I unexpectedly encountered delicious food at the beginning of the journey.

Then, Phantom began to eat with relish.

Until... until she was able to show her body and let the guy who had the same deep will towards the person who made her "born" see it, the phantom's emotions underwent a new change.

Is it... a terrifying desire, uh... obsession and passion? But why?

Gotham Carol couldn't understand why Phantom suddenly had such feelings for her again.

To myself, a dead person...

"It's a simple logic, right? She can glimpse your resurrection, and the source of your fanaticism and obsession..."

"Who is she parasitizing on, little thing?"

Parasitic on… McQueen? In other words, swallowing up completely induced emotions?

Is it... Mejiro McQueen's enthusiasm and obsession with the song of dusk?

This is too weird, isn't it? This, this, this, isn't it right?

"There's nothing strange about it. Domains are just magical and abstract things. It's more like a ghost or something. My existence is already strange, right? And."

"thanks for treatment."

Ning Jing said something like a closing remark on Sunday, and there was no further focus in the content that followed.

Gotham Ode simply bears witness to the Phantom and McQueen's continued rise to fanaticism and obsession, all the way to today.

"So, I guess the fact that you're here and seeing all this is because she actually came from you. Or, if you want, try to reclaim your former territory, and then... get rid of her, and maybe McQueen will return to his former self?"

"How about this?"

Sunday Tranquility seemed to be looking forward to it, but Gotham Carol only felt malice, and she hit the old man's steel-like chest hard in response.

"I don't want to. Putting aside how McQueen would feel about losing someone he knew, just the act itself—isn't it just taking another life?"

Gotham Carol does not intend to deny the existence of Phantom Song. After all, that is the consequence of her deep involvement in the matter. In other words—

If it ends with something as simple as the phantom disappearing, wouldn't that be too irresponsible?!

It's your responsibility, so don't underestimate it, Gotham Ode!

"Haha, I knew you would say that, little thing. So what? What are you going to do?"

How should it be done? This was a profound question, and Gotham Carol was originally confused. However, after seeing the whole story of Phantom Flow Song, she realized something very straightforward.

As her "child," what Phantom Liuge wanted was simple, right? To run with her, to fight together, and then... to receive attention.

Phantom wanted to get what she had not gotten since she first opened her eyes, and what she still did not have, and what she could only get from Bo Mu Liu Ge.

Isn’t this a simple thing?

"I remember McQueen was also going to run away at the Japan Cup, right?"

This was the news that was rumored when Gotham Carol participated in the Irish Championship some time ago. Although it was not clearly confirmed at the time, judging from the recent reputation and McQueen's personality, it is possible that she will leave.

However, it doesn’t matter even if he has no plans to leave now, as long as McQueen has a reason to leave, right?

Let's just confirm what McQueen's obsession is...or rather, just confirm it.

"Who knows, but I feel like there will be. But from what you said, I think you've already made up your mind."

"No matter what means are used, we must get McQueen and you onto the track."

Zhou Li Ningjing showed a satisfied expression, but she still asked that question in the end.

"Is it worth it? If it's exposed to McQueen, the sister you're worried about will most likely know it clearly, right?"

amount……

Is it entirely possible that Gao Fengjie would also know this? This is something Gotham Carol hadn't considered just now.

However, even if that is what is said, will Gotham Carol change his mind and decision?

I didn’t think about it just now, it’s okay, but now that I think about it, even if I know what might happen...

but!

Gotham Carol's answer remained unchanged.

"Do I look like a coward who gets away with it? Well, maybe sometimes I do."

But I won't run away, old man, you know that.

Sunday shrugged quietly, then slowly turned into dissipating mist.

"So, even I admire you for this, or rather..."

"I'll like you because of something like this, right?"

"You little guy, you really know how to please others."

After all, it's too boring to be around someone who's only thinking about escaping.

laugh.

Chapter 103: Past Promise

In short, the moment the Sunday tranquility disappeared in front of Gotham Carol, the whole dream seemed to collapse.

As her eyes slowly opened, the black-haired horse girl once again saw the world in front of her.

However, although it looked like he had taken a very long nap, the actual time change didn't seem to be that big. Gotham Carol could clearly see the golden sunlight outside the curtains, which was blocked by the curtains. And then...

The figure sitting motionless beside her bed.

In fact, it should seem like a very strange thing.

Behind Gotham Carol, who had been resting, Megumi McQueen was sitting there quietly beside her. She had her legs together, her hands folded, and her waist was straight, like a statue that would not move at all, which made her look weird.

What to say?

That is, Mejiro McQueen just sat there like a machine. If she was asked to wait, she really just waited and did nothing else.

No, is this really the right thing to do? Not only would I be bored, but just sitting here in silence...it's really surprising.

Speaking of which, Gotham Carol has actually been quite concerned about something since yesterday.

That's why when Mejiro Takamine suggested that Mejiro McQueen, an almost complete stranger, follow Gotham Carol to live permanently at First Ruby's house, the person next to him didn't seem to raise any objection at all?

Could it be out of respect and obedience to Mejiro Takamine? That shouldn't be the case, but I couldn't find any other explanation.

But now, there is a ready-made opportunity, isn't there?

"McQueen…can I ask you something?"

"Yes, go ahead."

Megumi McQueen responded almost instantly, but Gotham Carol always felt that the once cute little guy beside him now had a superb...human-machine feeling?

It's that click-and-respond feeling.

"Well, let me ask directly. When Mejiro Takamine told you that, I didn't see you objecting, did I?"

"Because, it doesn't make sense."

It's meaningless? What kind of answer is that? It's meaningless to what?

Gotham Carol showed an expression of incomprehension, and Mebiro McQueen obviously saw her confusion, so he added a sentence.

"I don't want to go or anything. There's no point."

Anyway, even if I don't want to come along, I will be asked to come and see her every day like the other sisters. It's not a bad thing to be here permanently for now.

However, why did Phantom disappear inexplicably just now?

In fact, what remains in Mejiro McQueen's world is quite pure. It is better to say that there are not many things that can make her care about this emotion now.

And the current emotion is actually not about caring about Phantom Liuge.

What kind of accident could this ghost, who had existed in her world for so many years, have encountered? Mejiro McQueen was simply puzzled by the lack of elements in his own world.

This was not one of the "meaningful" things that could make her care about it.

"In Mejiro Castle, no one can say no to Sister Gaofeng's decision."

In other words, the ability to say no is no longer in Mejiro Castle.

Whether it’s Sister Aldan or...Sister Liuge.

They will no longer appear in Mejiro Castle, especially Sister Ryuka.

Even now, Mejiro McQueen hasn't found any trace of her! Phantom had clearly said that Sister Liuge would be reborn, and he had even sensed her presence in the audience area at last year's Chrysanthemum Festival...

No matter what, Mejiro McQueen longs to find, or rather, be found by Sister Liuge.

In an instant, Mebai McQueen's originally cold look was replaced by enthusiasm, and Gotham Carol, who was clearly aware of this under Sunday's quiet reminder, strengthened his determination at the moment.

In that case, I have to make a decision no matter what, but...

Maybe McQueen himself has been thinking about competing in the Japan Cup? After all, the internet's biggest fanfare for the opponent who could stop Gotham Anthem is his now-old-age sister.

Gotham Carol has always maintained the habit of visiting the internet community, especially the content related to her, which she will always watch and pay attention to.

And what is the most discussed topic about Gotham Anthem in the entire Internet ecosystem right now?

Who can stop the Gotham Carol and fight back against her arrogant and annoying steps?

This discussion thread has become one of the hottest topics on the entire Japanese Internet since the Yasuda Memorial. Many people have even captured the moment when the URA official account appeared in the comment section.

And who is the person chosen in the latest discussion above?

This year is the Year of the Horse. It was Mejiro McQueen who won the Classic Double Crown last year, the Fantasy Chrysanthemum Award, and the Ryuka Stakes. He almost appeared out of nowhere and dominated the entire Classic Year. He is known as the Japanese own Twilight Ryuka!

Honestly, the more I read this discussion post for Gotham Anthem, the more interesting it becomes, because the initial content here is still quite a lot of people discussing how likely it is that Mejiro McQueen will stop Gotham Anthem if he comes.

Then, as the number of people gradually increased and expanded, the topic gradually shifted from rational and direct to emotional.

The most intuitive and clear point is.

In the previous post, the original poster was clearly listing data to show that according to the current situation, if Mejiro McQueen could perform at the same level of escape as he did in the Liuge Championship, he would definitely have a chance to assassinate Gotham Carol.

And the next reply to his post is...

If even a horse girl like Mejiro McQueen, who looks like the three goddesses, can't defeat Gotham Carol, then isn't there even less hope for us?!

The appearance of this sentence was like a fuse, and the entire discussion was completely occupied by one voice.

That is the deification of Mejiro McQueen.

The whole atmosphere is like what time in the past?

Just like before the Dusk Flow Song participated in the Arc de Triomphe, to put it simply, everyone is expecting Mejiro McQueen to burn himself out in the Japan Cup and defeat Gotham Anthem.

So in such an atmosphere, Mejiro McQueen should actually have certain ideas and tendencies to participate in the Japan Cup, right?

Anyway, Gotham Carol still asked tentatively.

"Participating in the Japan Cup? I've certainly thought about it, but I don't have any plans for now, and there's no need to participate."

Huh? There isn't one?

[Ha, are you dumbfounded, little thing?]

"Although it would be great to play against you in the Japan Cup, there's nothing to be gained, and..."

Mejiro McQueen showed some expression for the rare occasion, but that kind of ferocity made Gotham Carol feel unfamiliar. Or perhaps it was that the only emotion that Mejiro McQueen clearly expressed was... disgust and disdain?

"Besides, I support what you are going to do."

I'm very supportive of what I'm trying to do... Is it about destroying the internationalization of Japanese events? This is really surprising and not surprising.
