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

Gotham Carol was actually quite curious because Phantom Liuge's facial expressions were so rich, so rich that it made her, which was rare, have a lot of bad ideas in her mind.

Do you want to bully the little fool in front of you and see all the possible expressions that may appear on "your" cheeks?

Well, this idea was ultimately rejected by Gotham Carol itself because it was too bad.

In the end, she just remained calm and looked at the little guy in front of her, and even pushed the teacup she had just used over to him.

However, Phantom Liuge didn't even give it a second thought. She came here just to proudly say, "I found you," and then declare war. But now...

Why isn't this guy afraid of me? I'm a ghost! A ghost!

Phantom Liuge couldn't figure it out, but she didn't say anything more in the end.

"Anyway, Bo Mu Liu Ge, remember this, I will completely defeat you in the Japan Cup! Get ready for your first defeat in your career!"

After saying that, Phantom Liuge gradually disappeared from the spot like a movie, until there was no trace left.

Gotham Carol stood up and took a look out of curiosity, and she was still wondering in her heart.

Is this kid impatient and leaves right after he finishes talking?

[No, she just, uh... it's time to be outside by herself, little one.]

so?

[So she was forcibly recalled and flew directly to your sister, pfft.]

Sunday's quiet smile made people worry that she might die from a stitch in the side, but Ghost couldn't die again, so with this in mind, Gotham Carol didn't pay too much attention to such things.

She lay down on her bed and looked at her surroundings.

The guest room that Mejiro Takamine arranged for him was very large and spacious, and it was very similar to the room in his memory.

Of course, it was impossible for her to live so openly in the room that originally belonged to Bo Mu Liu Ge, but even so, after lying down and having the leisure to observe the environment, Gotham Carol still clearly saw something familiar yet unfamiliar.

I say it's familiar because the book on the bookshelf was actually brought into this house by her, and I say it's strange because...

That should have become a relic along with Bo Mu Liu Ge's death, and it shouldn't appear in random places.

That was the diary she had written on a whim.

Gotham Carol was silent for a moment, then she sat up in disbelief and took the slightly yellowed diary in her hand.

The Mejiro Takamine Signature Limited Edition...

Well, the picture printed on the cover is a little unclear. You can clearly see the crease at the seal, but...

But the biggest changes for Gotham Carol are actually two things.

One is that there is a different signature on the other side of the original seal, which is obviously handwritten and belongs to Mejiro Takamine.

And then there’s…

After opening the title page, there were photos she had asked the owner of the photo studio to send back before she left for the Arc de Triomphe.

And what was pasted on this diary was a photo of Bo Mu Liu Ge and Mejiro Takamine taken in Paris at that time, a photo that one of the parties involved disliked very much and thought was ugly.

It's really full of memories...

Gotham Carol thought back to when she wrote the diary and how she felt, and then she felt a burst of laughter.

At that time, he was half-forced by Mejiro Takamine to go shopping, so he picked up the diary with a little revenge in mind, and when he was hesitating, he was called by Aldan.

then…

Then I bought the diary without thinking.

With the idea that I had taken everything, I actually wrote down a lot of my feelings and thoughts, as well as what I saw and heard.

At that time, she really needed such an outlet to make her mood better and avoid collapse.

So, looking at the diary now, can it be considered a conversation between Gotham Carol and Dusk Song?

Gotham Carol no longer wanted to think about why the diary appeared here. It was obvious at a glance, right? After all, the diary was most likely in Gao Feng's hands, and this room was arranged by her eldest sister.

So this is considered... returning the property to its original owner?

Gotham Carol was a little unsure for a moment. She had no way of guessing why Sister Gao Feng had let her see all this.

She just doesn't want to admit it, but it's not like she's been completely resisting and avoiding it.

Puzzled, Gotham Carol casually opened the diary full of past events, until she read the last page, until she saw the words "I love you" written by herself.

It was only then that she discovered something completely different.

This should have been the last record, but there seems to be some writing at the end...?

And...

Gotham Carol turned the page and confirmed a fact.

That wasn't written by her. Judging from the handwriting, it was written by Mejiro Takamine.

However, it can be clearly seen that these contents have a very long time span, and the emotions they contain are also quite direct.

From the initial sadness, sorrow, self-blame and guilt, it gradually turned into a nagging record of life.

The eldest sister has been recording her feelings here, hoping to do something in the same way.

Come... communicate with the person who is destined to never communicate again, and communicate with the years when she was still here.

I kept reading and flipping through Gotham Ode until I exhausted all the years after she left, when Mubai was at its peak.

And at the very end, she saw a page with new handwriting.

The content above is very short.

I had a dream that I seemed to never wake up from. In the dream, Liu Ge came back. She held my hand and said, "I will never leave you again, sister. We will be a family forever, never to be separated."

Although I knew it was a dream, I couldn't help but touch her hair. It was as smooth as ever... Then, I said what I had been hiding in my heart but had been interrupted by various reasons.

【I'm sorry, I shouldn't stop you from doing what you want to do. 】

"That's the apology I've been waiting for since the Gaoyue Sho..."

[However, what should I really say at that time along with the follow-up? ]

【yes…】

[Since the group photo is ugly, let's find another time to take one. This time, it should be clearer. Do you think it looks good?]

[Or, take more photos. I'd be happy to help. You don't lack time either. There will always be moments that we're both happy with, right?]

【Welcome back, my silly little sister, our silly Liuge. 】

Chapter 115: Mejiro Gaofeng does not accept it.

In fact, there are not many days left until the Japan Cup.

The time between the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival and the Japan Cup is not very long, only about five weeks.

Because of this, there is actually a very subtle legend between the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival and the Japan Cup.

That is, until now, the horse girls who won the Chrysanthemum Shooting Championship have not been able to win the Japan Cup, and if the horse girls who won the Japan Cup had participated in the Chrysanthemum Shooting Championship before, their results would probably not be good.

The reason for this is actually easy to understand, that is, the two competitions have different requirements and the participants are close to each other.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Race can be said to be a special event that requires endurance, not only because of its extraordinary track, but also because of the huge slopes that go back and forth twice.

In comparison, the Japan Cup is much more specialized in mid-range.

However, the time difference between the two competitions is only five weeks, which is not enough for a horse girl specialized in long distance to recuperate after the Kikukasou competition and then make special preparations for the Japan Cup.

In other words…

After participating in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition, you can basically only rely on your own strength to withstand the intensity of the Japan Cup.

However, the Chrysanthemum Shooting Competition requires a very high level of endurance, but the Japan Cup does not particularly require this.

Therefore, those horse girls specialized in long-distance racing can win the Kikuka Sho, but will be defeated in the Japan Cup. However, the middle-distance horse girls who were defeated in the Kikuka Sho can regain the limelight that belongs to them in the Japan Cup.

At least until this year, there has not been a groundbreaking horse girl who can challenge the Japan Cup after winning the Chrysanthemum Award.

This inability to win two titles together is called the Chrysanthemum Viewing Japan Cup Curse.

Gotham Carol guessed that after being rejected by Ura, those people might be praying that she would fall under this curse?

In fact, the online discussion about Gotham Carol's participation in the Japan Cup has not stopped until now. From the end of the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival to today, even Gotham Carol is still the main focus of the entire hot search trend.

Such a grand occasion was even as enthusiastic as when she was going to attend the Arc de Triomphe.

Everyone is discussing whether Gotham Carol can break this curse, and the general conclusion is that this curse actually has no constraints on Gotham Carol.

After all, Gotham Anthem is shocking at long distances, but at medium distances?

Are you kidding me? The Takarazuka Kinen and Irish Championships were just over a short time ago. Have you forgotten?

The two groups of horse girls who were killed are still eagerly responding to topics on the Internet every day!

They said that Gotham Anthem would win, and the middle distance was actually the distance that this quasi-legend was best at!

In short, what everyone is generally discussing now is whether Gotham Carol will be defeated by the mid-range competition, but what will happen when Gotham Carol faces the most powerful escape horse girl of this era, Mejiro McQueen.

Augustus is very strong, but there is no definite evidence for this title yet!

Mejiro McQueen, who won the Liuge Championship, is also a strong contender for this title, and her fans have never stopped emphasizing this point.

No matter what, Gotham Anthem is not a great escape horse girl. Even if she really has overwhelming strength, she is still a blood relative of ours to inherit Caesar's mantle, and Mejiro McQueen, who really has the adaptability and record of great escape, is more suitable!

In short, this topic has become increasingly intense due to the conflict between fans on both sides.

And Gotham Carol, who lives in the strange and rather peaceful life in Mejiro Castle, is naturally helpless about this.

But there are only two weeks left.

Now, two weeks later, everyone in the world will know about this, right?

Gotham Carol faced the mirror and finally cut off a few strands of her long silver-white hair that could no longer remain black. Then she carefully confirmed that there was nothing revealing before she lay down on the bed helplessly.

The effect of Elly Speed's medicine is becoming weaker and weaker, and this is accompanied by changes that make Gotham Carols unsure whether to be happy or sad.

That is the change in height and body shape.

Well, to put it simply...

She finally grew taller! About ten centimeters.

Although he is still quite short after growing taller, he has gone from about 1.4 meters to barely 1.5 meters.

And then there’s…

She is probably now more plump than her cousin who works at the teahouse.

Uh, oh, she looks more like an older sister than McQueen!

But anyway, she didn't want such a change! It was really troublesome to spend time every day cutting off hair that couldn't be concealed!

Gotham Carol sighed helplessly. She raised her hand to turn off the light in her room, and then recalled everything that happened when she arrived in Mejiro Castle.

Mejiro Takamine didn't lie, and she didn't do anything weird that made Gotham Carol feel cold all over. She was not even at home most of the time!

However, Gotham Carol was not at ease because of this matter, because sooner or later she would have to face Mejiro Kogen, and the longer this matter dragged on, the more uneasy she became.

So, what happens next?

In the darkness, Gotham Carol was sorting out her thoughts, but she didn't know how much time had passed. Anyway, before she fell asleep completely, she heard the sound of a door opening quietly.

She still had no habit of locking the door as before, and the visitor was obviously very aware of this. He pushed the door open as quietly as possible, and then took light steps towards the bed.

Gotham Carol's consciousness, which was not completely hazy to begin with, remained quite clear at this time. She narrowed her eyes quietly and looked in front of her in the deep darkness of the room.

Who could that silhouette be?

She had short hair, was plump and tall, and she just stood there silently thinking about something. Then the moonlight that filtered in through the gap in the curtains could slightly reveal the white highlights on her black hair.

Who could this person be?

It’s so hard to guess.

However, after seeing Gotham Carol who seemed to be asleep, that person fell silent. She just looked at him silently and hesitated, as if she was thinking and deciding.

Well... it's rare for her to lack determination, which is puzzling. She is obviously strong enough to be called a strong person in any situation, right?

She was the only one here, showing a hesitant attitude of wasting time and unable to make a decision.

Gotham Carol just watched quietly without saying anything, and the person in front of her didn't notice this, so she was just deeply hesitant.
