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

"Indeed, it's like only in the video can you glimpse the powerful ponygirl in the front. And I don't know if it's my imagination, but the color of Gotham Carol's hair seems a little odd... Mejiro McQueen! He's even accelerating twice. Is he trying to seize the lead right from the start and then lead the entire race?"

"But, can McQueen sustain such a sudden outburst at the very beginning of the race?!"

Can it hold up? I haven't tried it before, but I'll just keep running like this for now and see!

"If we keep chasing like this, you won't be able to hold on, right?"

Mebiru McQueen did not respond to the whisper in her heart that only she could hear. She just ran with all her might, as hard as she could, faster and faster!

She even felt that she had broken through her long-standing limit!

Mejiro McQueen is not a horse girl who is adaptable to the Great Escape Plan, nor does she have the physical support for the Great Escape Plan. It’s just that she has been working hard and constantly improving herself, so she can achieve such results even though her adaptability is completely insufficient.

Moreover, at this moment, Mejiro McQueen, who was still desperately chasing, had a hunch... If she couldn't catch up with the distant figure in front...

Then I will miss the news of Bo Mu Liu Ge in this life. I will chase him, move forward, move forward, and catch up with him with all my strength and burn my life.

Even if it’s just for a moment when we’re side by side, I must grab her hand, intertwine our hands, and never let go for the rest of my life...!

Mejiro McQueen didn't know why she felt this way, but as a monster of emotions, and as a horse girl, her emotions were already overflowing, so she didn't want to endure it again, but...

break out!

"Contestant Mejiro McQueen, oh oh oh, it's here, it's here! That stunning glimpse at the Liuge Championships, that shocked the entire world, one of only three such instances in the world where such a field is so intense that it can be seen by human eyes!"

"I actually, I actually witnessed it again. Mejiro McQueen is still accelerating. That pitch-black color is proof that she doesn't want to admit defeat. She's still moving forward, catching up, and is about to catch up with the Gotham Carol contestant!"

It's almost catching up. This is the most distant, yet the closest, description, right? What's the possible follow-up at this moment?

Mejiro McQueen just caught up like this, and then the two of them entered the second half of the race side by side?

It's just McQueen!

Since I said that I would use all, my greatest, and unreserved strength, then even if you are behind me, I will not hide anything. Even if you want to catch up with me, you have to be more determined, right?

Let me see your growth.

Let me fulfill that promise that no one has remembered for so long.

We want both of us to be unreserved on the field...

It's like fate, like the curtain has risen on a grand story, so now... my engine is about to explode and overload, okay?

[Draw the curtain, the legendary story is about to begin! ]

The whole world seemed to have fallen into complete silence, or rather, it was a long-lost grayness where the flow of time could not be seen at all.

This is actually the second time that Gotham Anthem has fully opened up the realm that truly belongs to her. The last time she had such an outburst was at the last moment of the Arc de Triomphe. She seemed to have surpassed light and was running in her last time.

And now...

Even in a moment when the world seemed to be stuck and no longer flowing, Gotham Anthem pressed his body to the limit, and then used this posture as if the whole body was folded and shrunk as the starting point for the next run.

Then, flames interwoven with red and silver-white began to burn fiercely from the feet, body, and hair. The sudden speed was stretched into a trance-like flame, bringing dazzling colors.

An ode to Gotham...?

No.

It is a song at dusk.

It was Bo Mu Liuge's return to the human world after his running method was improved to the limit!

"Oh my god, did the Gotham Carnival contestant also respond to Mejiro McQueen's challenge? What a powerful field, what a strong momentum, even sitting here I can clearly feel it, and... what a sight, the black-haired Gotham Carnival contestant's hair has turned silver, like, like..."

"It's like the horse girl we all know is back on the track again, and this scene is just like the Gallop at the Arc de Triomphe!"

It’s a pity that it’s cloudy today and there’s no rain.

But even so, everyone in the entire stadium clearly felt the thin mist that should have existed like an illusion.

All eyes were focused on the front of the field, where a roaring and flaming figure was flying close to the ground in an incredible manner.

That is what all Uma Musume fans would not have mistaken. There is almost no other person like this. It was only a fleeting meteor that appeared in that short one-year history!

"Gotham Carol, Gotham Carol!"

"Go ahead and win!"

Cheers rose and fell along with the powerful running, but even though the support was scattered and unorganized, the mixed momentum was earth-shaking.

At this moment, Gotham Anthem fully demonstrated what power is with its unhindered attitude.

But in Mejiro McQueen's eyes, it looked different.

Beneath the burning field, she saw another scene that made her unable to take her eyes off.

That was the silver at the end of the flowing hair that couldn't be concealed, silver...? !

Megumi McQueen suddenly felt that everything was so absurd.

Actually, Gotham Carol always behaves quite strangely in front of her, right? That feeling of wanting to get closer but not daring to, and then there were those seemingly inexplicable words before.

Do you want to know how I feel no matter what?

Do you want to know anyway?!

Then I will... prove to you now, what I can do to catch up with you.

Phantom, you already knew this, right?

"Actually, not much earlier than you? Okay, stop wasting time..."

We don't stand a chance, right?

Mebai McQueen was unwilling to accept this, really unwilling to accept this, but she had no choice - if it was Sister Liuge, even if she let McQueen start the race early, he would not be able to win, right?

In McQueen's world, there is only one way.

Bo Mu Liu Ge is the most powerful horse girl in the world.

So under this premise, even Mejiro McQueen herself never felt from the bottom of her heart that she could defeat Bo Mu Liuge.

All she wanted to do was do one thing...

Mejiro McQueen wants a chance. She wants to run with Bo Mu Liu Ge, even if it’s just a race, even if it’s just for a moment, even if it’s not her, but a being named “Mejiro McQueen”...!

The little pony girl who could once take two steps and fly into Bo Mu Liu Ge's arms, the naive sister who knew nothing at the time wanted to get something again, even if it was only for a short time.

She wanted to run with Bo Mu Liu Ge, and she wanted to stay by Bo Mu Liu Ge's side.

So at the moment when you are about to fail, at the moment when you are about to be left behind.

So at this very moment, when his heart was about to stop beating due to the pain... Mejiro McQueen made the promise he had always refused to make.

Our goals are at least consistent in form, right?

So, do whatever you want, even if it means using my body to run on the track...you can take it all.

If only I could catch up...

As long as it allows me to overcome yesterday's regrets and chase that shining figure, then whatever you want to do is up to you.

Go ahead, all I have, if that's the price of having my wish fulfilled.

"You should have decided earlier... But if my opponent is her... I'm going to burn too."

Phantom Liuge's voice became hoarse, and even trembled clearly. She looked at the shadow that was already far away, and then revealed a hideous smile.

I finally found you, I finally have a chance, I finally can...

After catching up with you, I will tell you how strong I am, how much I suffer, and everything I can’t get…

I want everything you give me.

So, the second round begins, right?

"It looks like Mejiro McQueen isn't going to continue the challenge... Oh my god, does he still have the strength and determination to accelerate?"

There are as many of those things as you want. You commentators are destined to never know. I exist just to catch up with that bastard who left me behind!

For this goal, my own existence doesn't matter, nothing else matters, everything can be burned...

My life exists for this, and my consciousness opens its eyes because of things like this, right?

[On a rainy night, speeding beyond time! ]

"She actually managed to challenge?! Mejiro McQueen's domain even took her by storm! Oh my god, I never thought a Uma Musume's domain could be so astonishing. She's caught up, she's challenged Dusk... Gotham Anthem, head-on, openly!"

"Can we catch up? The game is only halfway through, and the Japan Cup has only just begun, and the key to victory or defeat will be decided here?!"

The rain really started to fall.

Even the engrossed Gotham Carol was distracted by this, and she was clearly surprised.

However, such a sudden rain will not actually bring any changes to the track. At least by the end of the race it will still be in good condition.

But this environment still made her feel as if she was back to the only two rainy days when she had run. The Arc de Triomphe was a memory that she would never forget in her life.

So, is the phantom born in the Arc de Triomphe that is chasing after her from behind now, chasing her yesterday?

Gotham Carol only paused for a moment, and then... made the most direct response.

Death couldn't catch up with me, yesterday? Don't waste time, even if it's the "me" of the past, I want to catch up with the me of the present, the me who has shown my resolution...

You are not qualified either!

The footsteps of Gotham's ode landed on the ground, stepped on the soil, and then continued to the distance, stretching towards tomorrow in a way that made it impossible to see the traces.

Even this world is too small when I am really running, let alone yesterday and the accident.

You can't catch up with me.

You can never catch up!

A hideous and unreasonable laugh appeared on Gotham Carol's face, which should have been calm. Her speed was still increasing, surging and violent, as if she wanted to break through all obstacles in front of her and completely tear apart the confidence of any opponent who dared to chase her.

It was like an irrational beast that completely broke the laws of physics, with no end in sight.

Even the three goddesses would nod their heads in praise of the completely liberated Gotham!

"Is there really anyone who can catch up to the Gotham Anthem contestant? Mejiro McQueen has already displayed a world-class... no, historic level of performance, but now, but now...!"

"But the gap between the two hasn't narrowed at all! The Gotham Carol contestant is still maintaining an absolute lead, and this advantage is even gradually widening. Surprisingly, it's widening..."

"Contestant Mejiro McQueen has been left far behind...!"

Chapter 122: When hugging the waist.

"Contestant Mejiro McQueen has been left far behind!"

I am not willing to accept this, absolutely not willing to accept this. Or, how can I be willing to accept this?

Phantom Liuge could feel his body trembling. Mejiro McQueen's body was completely unsuitable for escape, but there was only one simplest way to defeat Dusk Liuge.

That is to catch up with her footsteps, catch up with her escape!

But, but such a thing is completely impossible, completely...

It was a monster, an absolutely invincible monster, a monster that would leave yesterday, pain, and death behind.

Phantom Liuge had no doubt that Gotham Anthem would indeed cross the finish line and win without any hindrance. Rather, that person would do so.

She would fully experience the taste of failure, for the first time, alongside Mejiro McQueen.

But I am unwilling to accept it. I really am unwilling to accept it. How can I possibly accept it?

Phantom Liuge knew everything clearly. She knew exactly what her own strength was. She was the Dusk Liuge who shocked the whole world at that moment on the Arc de Triomphe. How could she lose so easily?

Why does it always feel like the person running ahead of her only showed a little bit of strength, and then she failed completely?

For the first time, Phantom Liuge felt the pain of wanting to cry, but in the drizzling rain, no one could see even the traces of water on his face.

Is this okay? If someone were to see me crying, it would be too embarrassing, but if that's the case...

Even if tears are pouring down like a rainstorm, I can't stop.

Even if there is no possibility of winning at all, should Phantom Liuge admit that she is about to fail now?

no way!

Absolutely not, only this person, only this person who should define her existence but has no trace at all must be caught up, no matter what means are used!

Phantom Liuge roared, her hysterical roar even making Mubai McQueen's once delicate and elegant face reveal a hideous bulging of blood vessels under her control. Then the pitch-black shadows completely converged, and then...

The second one, Mu Liuge, turned into a pitch-black color and appeared in everyone's eyes.
