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

"She actually still has some strength left. Contestant Mejiro McQueen's condition is terrifying right now. But even so, does she really have the confidence to challenge Mu Gu... challenge Mu Gu Liu Ge?"

For some reason, the commentator just felt that she should be called that. Or, looking at the shining silver figure at the front of the field, who could say that that wasn't the legendary, meteor-like horse girl that they had all been waiting for for so long, the one who shouldn't have reappeared in this world, Bo Mu Liu Ge?

It is nearly impossible to defeat the Dusk Song, unless it is some other famous monster in history, otherwise...

The title of World Horse King is just a challenge to Bo Mu Liu Ge. Who among those who are truly qualified is not a famous figure in the entire history of Uma Musume?

That is a legend, that is a miracle, that is the horse girl who created a glorious victory even on the Arc de Triomphe, that is the god that should exist in the world.

But now, she is being chased by a junior who is challenging her by means of a great escape!

However, Phantom Liuge's chasing figure still looked very dazzling. Even when facing such a powerful opponent, even if it was an opponent who was doomed to fail, she still did not give up at all. She gave her all and even surpassed her limits!

The spectators at the track could naturally see how hard Mejiro McQueen was trying, so in response to their favorite horse girl running at her best on the track, the roar of the voices even drowned out everything else at that moment.

Even the roaring thunder in the sky was suppressed by people's shouting.

"Don't lose, McQueen! Catch up with her, catch up with your sister!"

"Go Mejiro McQueen, let's win the Japan Cup!"

"Don't lose! You absolutely must win! If you're working so hard!"

Many times, one's limits are predetermined, but for emotional monsters like Uma Musume, there are too many ways to allow them to break through their predetermined limits.

Phantom Liuge is actually still completely immersed in her own world. She has always been alone, always, even with Mejiro McQueen accompanying her... To be honest, she has always been able to feel the vigilance of the owner of her body.

But, it seems that’s not the case now, right?

She drove her body to run across this world openly and even received such thunderous support. Although she was calling out other people's names, Phantom Liuge felt that she could enjoy it with peace of mind.

Because now she needs this kind of strength from others to ignite the final desperate charge.

Let me be willing to enjoy and be weak for a while, after all...

Even if it means burning my own existence, I will still try to chase after it——

The warmth from the sun that I have never felt before.

Phantom Liuge gritted his teeth, and then squeezed even more frantically, trying to find every bit of strength in his body, and completely pressed on with all the miraculous scenes he possessed from the domain.

She wants to... catch up with the Gotham Carol, catch up with the Dusk Song!

Even if it is only for a brief moment, I must fulfill this wish. After that, maybe I can disappear with peace of mind, or just let it be.

After all, this is the obsession that has allowed her to survive.

"Mejiro McQueen is still accelerating. She hasn't given up yet. How will the person she's challenging respond? Can you feel her fiery pace and emotions?"

Could he feel it? Ah, probably, at least, Gotham Carol could clearly hear the commentator's voice.

The Japan Cup track is actually not very long. The 2,400-meter track has reached its final stage, and Gotham Anthem has already completed the exit stage early and entered the final straight.

However, although she could not feel the feelings of Phantom Liuge and Mejiro McQueen at the moment, she had actually had a rough guess before the game started.

They are two determined kids...

If the obsession is not satisfied, maybe you will do something stupid?

but…!

If you keep running because of your obsession, something will go wrong sooner or later. It’s better for Gotham Carol to completely crush their strange wishes right here and now... Got it.

Victory won't be handed down to you. If you want to catch up with me, you can do it in the next game. But what you have learned now...

It is to become stronger from failure.

It's time to end the long-running feud between Gotham Anthem and Ura. Let it be completely severed within these final few minutes of the Japan Cup!

Gotham Carol did not look back. She could feel the unwillingness and all-out efforts of the person chasing her, but precisely because of this, she could not look.

Even if it's just for a short moment!

Even in this situation, even with such an exaggerated gap, neither his sister nor his "daughter" had any intention of begging for mercy or pleading, hoping to catch up in this way.

They've all tried so hard, the only thing to do in response is...

Speed ​​up again!

The speed of Gotham Anthem was incredibly increasing again, even to a level that was jaw-dropping.

This is the final stage of the game, and you're the ultimate runaway horse girl, yet you're still capable of such an unimaginable last kick?!

Isn't that a bit too shocking?

In fact, this is Gotham Carol's trump card, or rather, the trump card that she has never had the chance to use.

Mu Liuge, however, is a horse girl who rarely uses her highest speed during the race. In other words...

Her escape was actually a constant cruising speed, and within three thousand meters...

Gotham Anthem indeed has the endurance and speed to accelerate again at the end of the game!

Let's make the moment when this secret is revealed to the public eternal, and then win a resounding victory.

Gotham Anthem…Attack!

An incredible silver light shone on the field. Gotham Carol's run broke through the rain curtain. One crystal water line after another was dyed with flames and silver brilliance, and then was smashed into pieces. Some of them stuck to the clothes and were thrown behind them, while the other part simply flew away.

But such a dazzling and crystal-clear scene that looked like a work of art was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the creator herself. She just accelerated harder, faster, faster!

Rush towards tomorrow, rush towards the finish line, rush towards the other side of time, rush towards the position where Mejiro McQueen can no longer catch up with her.

"This is terrifying! This is simply beyond world-class. This speed and strength are at the forefront of history. At this level, there is really no possibility of victory, right? Will contestant Mejiro McQueen choose to give up? Will she choose not to pursue such a terrifying and tragic goal, and instead maintain her second place result in this race?"

"She definitely won't do that. As a horse girl, she still has to chase that eternally shining star in front of her!"

Isn't that a matter of course!

McQueen looked ahead, his sight passing the end of the bend, in front of the straight finish line, the figure of Gotham Anthem even brought one brilliant section after another, blurring everything in front of his eyes and eyelashes that were already filled with water droplets.

It's dazzling, but...

It seems I can't catch up.

"Gotham Anthem's runner crossed the finish line first. It's incredible! She displayed unparalleled dominance in this race. Honestly, what I'm about to say shouldn't be happening at this time, but... I'm willing to see the Japan Cup completely destroyed by such a formidable competitor. Or perhaps..."

"If it's a legend like Gotham Carol, if it's a powerful figure like this, if it's a sprint and thrilling moment like crossing the finish line at the Arc de Triomphe on a rainy night..."

"As expected, if we could win, that would be a shameful fluke. I feel this deeply now."

"We should... accept our failure calmly."

Accept your failure? You must be kidding!

Phantom Liuge, or Mejiro McQueen, could no longer see what the scene at the end looked like. Her entire body was even shaking due to such overload, but she still did not give up and kept running.

Go forward, go forward! Even if you fail, you must go forward. What do you mean by losing? This kind of thing, this kind of thing!

Her consciousness was hazy and she was completely unable to think. Phantom Liuge didn't even know whether it was herself or Mejiro McQueen who was running. In short, in the end, she didn't remember how she got to the finish line.

About to cross the finish line, as the second place?

I am not willing to accept this, I am not willing to accept this, I am not willing to accept this!

But my challenge has failed. As expected, I shouldn’t have overestimated my own abilities and just disappeared...?

"Shh, give me your hand, yes, just put it on my shoulders."

Eh…? Whose voice is that? A hoarse… voice of Mu Liuge?

A tired body is completely unable to take the initiative to do much. When Phantom Liuge saw himself floating in the air in a trance, his slightly darkened eyes realized what was happening before the finish line.

Gotham Carol's grip just loosened, and what it did was allow Mejiro McQueen to hug Gotham Carol.

Then, the other hand that was supposed to be free was wrapped around Mejiro McQueen's slender waist.

The two people appeared in front of all the audience in such an intimate posture in the wet rain.

"First of all, the Japan Cup is over, McQueen, and Phantom."

"But if you just give up on pursuing me like this, I'll be angry, okay?"

Gotham Carol's profile made skin contact with Mejiro McQueen, and she clearly conveyed her warmth and presence.

"There are still many opportunities like this, right? So if you give up after just one failure, even I'd be angry."

"From now on, every day, more often than not, whether it's a year or ten years, keep challenging me. I will always accept your pursuit, waiting for the time when you catch up with me..."

The rain was still falling, but what Gotham Carol said was so clear. Whether it was Mejiro McQueen or Phantom Liuge, they all felt the tenderness that belonged to their sister or "mother".

How excessive and cunning...!

only…

"So, don't bow your heads now. Didn't I tell you to show me how powerful you are?"

"Right?"

But now that you have said this, don't regret it!

The rain was still falling, and the Japan Cup stadium was extremely muddy.

But the two figures supported each other and passed by the audience, amid the cheers of the audience.

In fact, it was three people basking in the glory of victory together.

But Mejiro McQueen and Phantom Liuge only felt that...

As expected, no matter how things change, what they both want to get, in addition to the victory of catching up, is the irresistible tenderness that makes people want to fall for it.

If I just keep chasing without winning, will I always be able to receive this kind of tenderness?

This is also a cunning response to Bo Mu Liu Ge, right?!

Chapter 123: A sudden surprise

After winning the battle and taking the glorious first place in front of everyone, what should you do first?

Anyway, Gotham Carol chose to put his arm around Mejiro McQueen's waist, and then took her from the stage to the contestant channel.

Hmm, my silly little sister seems to be pushing herself too hard, completely unable to walk independently? In that case, I'll just have to let Gotham Carol do it for me.

Honestly, this kind of scene always feels strangely familiar, as if...

It was like after he won the Gaoyue Award, he was thrown into the arms of Mejiro McQueen?

But McQueen was still very small at that time, but now he is big enough to hug Gotham Anthem's shoulders.

It's obvious that she has grown up a bit compared to before!

The long silver hair was completely spread out before everyone's eyes without any concealment. The eyes of the whole world could clearly perceive this.

It turns out that Gotham Carol's hair was not always black, but it transformed into such a dazzling and familiar white!

"You can still walk, McQueen? Don't push yourself, okay?"

"Don't worry... I'm fine, Liu, Sister Liuge, you're teasing me again!"

Ahahaha…

McQueen said that in a mean way, like before, "If you win, I'll tell you the clues." But, this wasn't a lie at all. You really saw me, didn't you? It's just...

"I'm not lying, okay?"

McQueen didn't say anything. She just silently tightened her arms around him and used physical contact to convey her meaning.

No, leave now.

Two people walked at the front of the road, and then moved forward little by little.

The fans were completely crowded in front of the railing at this time, and Gotham Carol could even hear some quite noisy and strange questions.

Such as...

"So Miss Song is Miss Liuge, right?"

Hahaha, sorry, I don’t understand things like this, just pretend you don’t know anything at all!

"Miss Carol, I'm yours... woooooooo."

This guy was dragged away by other fans behind him with their mouths covered before he could finish his words... I hope he is okay?

"Big sister! Can Xiaofen be so dazzling?!"

"Ah, if it's the equinox, then it must be possible, right?"
