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

Gotham Carol thought so, then poked the little guy's cheek with the tip of his scepter.

It's just that - this little intimate interaction ended, and they continued to move forward. During the victory parade, Gotham Carol clearly felt the burning gaze of Mebai McQueen who was staring at the side of his face.

"Sister Liuge... I didn't realize you already have so many other horse girls around you."

"Ahem, yes, is there a problem?"

What a strange tone... like he's jealous? Well, maybe he's envious of something he didn't have, or the companionship he's only now getting... eh?

Is that probably something like this?

"It's okay, I'll always be by your side from now on, McQueen. This is a real deal."

"cunning…!"

Gotham Carol knew it was in the wrong, and then used the fact that McQueen would never pursue it again on this occasion to continue focusing on the victory parade process.

She only came to her senses when she walked to the other side of the exit passage and said something mysteriously to McQueen.

"Okay McQueen, I remember you've been wanting to see something about me, right?"

After Gotham Anthem said this, he suddenly pushed Mejiro McQueen, who was completely unaware, into the arms of Aldan and Mejiro Takamine, then he took a few steps forward and walked into the contestant channel to prepare to leave.

"Shh, a surprise is just a surprise. Don't say anything now, McQueen. See you on the stage later... Oh no, wait for me to appear on the stage later."

"It can be considered as... a victory stage for you."

Gotham Carol winked playfully, then trotted away from the few people, but her back had a different meaning in Mebiru McQueen's eyes.

Didn’t you just say you wouldn’t leave? But how can anyone refuse you when you say that?

The winner's stage just for you...that's too cunning, Sister Liuge.

Mebai McQueen didn't know how to describe her feelings. She could only clearly say one thing, which was...

Her heartbeat was throbbing vigorously, and the roar could even be clearly heard in her ears... She had never been so excited even on the court!

So cunning, so cunning, so cunning!

But... I can't help but be excited and looking forward to it.

What will Sister Liuge's victory stage look like? Or, what song will she sing?

No matter which song it is, Mejiro McQueen is looking forward to it very much. Moreover, this is a song that belongs to her alone and is played for her. Even the other horse girls who are around Sister Liuge now don’t have such treatment, right?

But I won in this regard and got more... "love" from Sister Liuge.

However, Gotham Carol was completely unaware of her sister's strange and dangerous thoughts. She was even in a good mood, jumping and skipping through the contestant channel in a manner that matched her appearance.

Generally speaking, after the game, there will be the usual interviews, then waiting time and the winner's stage.

But the Gotham Carol competition was completely different.

After all, she has never participated in the winner's stage until now.

After all, no one has ever dared to express such anticipation for Gotham Carol before, right?

However, she had no chance to appear on the winner's stage at the Chrysanthemum Award, which represented a reversal of her reputation, because both of them were admitted to the hospital after the game.

It can be said that from the beginning of the classic year to now, although many people are curious about the winner's stage of Gotham Carol, no one would ask, "It would be great if we could see little Carol jumping on the stage."

After all, it was the Gotham Anthem that missed all the winners’ stages in the Year of the Horse and has always had a questionable reputation!

However, the more this kind of mood is faced, the more Gotham Carol wants to do something like this, just as... a one-time glitter and surprise.

For McQueen, for everyone, well...

But I'm sorry, it's only this time.

whee.

After sorting out his thoughts, Gotham Carol walked around the corner of the contestant passage and then walked into the very familiar interview hall.

After the previous competition, she actually came here often, but she only gave formulaic answers at that time. Due to the popularity and various other things, the newspapers were not able to publish direct answers about Gotham Anthem, so there was not much enthusiasm for asking each other questions.

But today is completely different, or rather, since the last chrysanthemum viewing, that situation has completely disappeared.

Offensive and defensive types have changed!

Now it's Ura who's completely at a disadvantage, and it's not Gotham Anthem who's being insulted and mocked by everyone. Plus...

If Gotham Anthem isn't very popular, or if it's not very popular, but if...

Is it the silver-haired ode to Gotham?

Well, what should I call it?

Gotham Song? Twilight Carol?

In short, under such circumstances, even if Ura wanted to clamp the mouths of all newspapers and make a desperate effort to prevent them from saying the content that should be published, he could not care less.

Ura? Who are you? You're not qualified to make us give up on reporting or something like that!

So under such circumstances, the reporter Gotham Carol was facing was no longer an ordinary reporter!

All of them wanted to monopolize the entire interview time with Gotham Carol and get whatever they wanted!

To be honest, Gotham Carol, who had just won a glorious victory on the field, was unexpectedly scared. However, she was a veteran of post-match interviews after all. After adjusting her mood a little, she calmed herself down and walked to the center of all the flashes with a calm expression.

"I know you all have a lot of questions, but it's better to follow the rules, right? Then, let's start from the leftmost side."

Gotham Carol's words were very soft, but such a small voice clearly ignited the enthusiasm of the scene. Now, the horse girl standing at the top clearly confirmed one thing.

She is indeed a hot commodity in the eyes of these reporters!

"Well, let me just get straight to the point. Ms. Gotham Carol, what's the reason for your current hair color?"

"It's because... the reason for this problem is actually very simple. Of course, I know what everyone is thinking, but that's a complete misunderstanding. It's definitely not what you imagine."

Here it comes! Gotham Carol had already thought that the biggest news about herself today would be her appearance being exactly the same as before, so she had made some small mental assumptions, but what would be the final answer?

Well, well... I still say the same thing, as long as I don’t admit it, no one can prove it, right?

As for the reason for not admitting it? Because if I admit it, there will be a lot of trouble later, so it is better to deny it completely from the beginning.

Anyway, Gotham Carol really feels that her current self cannot be equated with her past self - she just doesn't want to.

After all, she was enjoying the Gotham ode of the miracle of coming into this world a second time, not the twilight in the wind that had burned out on a rainy night.

"Actually, I've been on the path to becoming a true character. Today...anyway, running in the domain seemed to have completely catalyzed this process. Yeah, that's the whole reason. Don't ask, there's no follow-up."

Gotham Carol directly blocked the further development of this topic.

However, she was actually curious whether there was anyone who thought that she was Bo Mu Liuge - forget it, there should be some people who thought so, but it wouldn't be the majority.

After all, resurrection is too horrifying. Compared to that... well, looking the same seems more reasonable, right?

Yes, that’s right, right?

Gotham Carol didn't dare to think too much about it, but she felt it was reasonable.

Then, there was a long process of temptation and counter-tempt, clichés and counter-clichés surrounding this topic.

The reporters seemed really keen on getting Gotham Carol to admit that she really was, as if they were completely certain of it.

But Gotham Carol really gritted their teeth and didn't reveal any flaws at all. They defended perfectly until the end, and left the scene with such a strange look that the reporters wanted to laugh but couldn't.

Strange, what they wanted most was news that the Gotham Carol was indeed the Dusk Flowing Song? But how could they be so happy without any concrete evidence?

It’s really hard to understand…!

It was hard to say about Gotham Ode. She always felt that something strange was going to happen next, but after leaving the interview hall, she didn't think too much about it.

After all, it was of no use, and she had something really important to do right away.

Gotham Carol trotted from the contestant passage to the stairwell, then quickly went upstairs and opened the door of the broadcasting room.

The race outside seemed to have just ended, the last horse girl had already crossed the finish line, and the commentator was still summarizing the content of the subsequent race.

It was at this moment that Gotham Carol suddenly pushed the door open, causing the commentator to jump up from her seat.

Oh, it’s the two commentators.

One is a human, and the other is a horse girl who retired a long time ago.

"It's sudden, but could you lend me the microphone?"

"No, no, no, of course, of course no problem!"

Just like that, Gotham Carol got what they wanted, and even got the right to broadcast to the entire stadium too smoothly.

"Hello, hello? This is the sound check. Ahem, it looks like there's nothing wrong with the broadcast... Ah, sorry, this is just my habit."

Gotham Carol came up to the commentator, leaned over the table, took the microphone, and then took a deep breath and announced what he wanted all fans to know.

"Ah, although this news is sudden... I'm not retiring! It's just that I haven't been on the winner's stage for a long time..."

Gotham Carol had only said half of his words when thunderous cheers erupted from outside.

You have to know that according to Gotham Carol's long-standing habit, she never goes on the winner's stage - the key is that her matches always start with a big gap! So as long as there is a game with her, she can basically consider going home after the game is over.

So hearing such news at this time seems to be enough to make people happy - after all, this is the first time that the horse girl they support will have a winner's stage, and it is also the winner's stage segment that has been missing for a long time, so it is understandable that they would be so excited... ?

A bit too excited?!

In short, Gotham Carol made a declaration.

"So everyone, if you leave now, you won't be able to see me again. Let's meet on stage tonight!"

"Maybe it'll only happen once, the winner of the Gotham Carol."

Chapter 124, Eternal Rhythm.

What kind of colors will burst out when the legendary past and present intersect?

This should have been an unanswerable answer, right?

However, Gotham Carol feels that it has now found a clear answer.

what is the reason?

It is because she has become a legend that spans the past and the present, and because she walked from the present, where there is no light, to the equally dark stage in the eyes of everyone.

However, it is in this environment where no other colors can be seen that Gotham Carol can more clearly see what it has brought, the colors that have converged to the present day.

That was the crowd of fans that appeared below the stage, endless and even a little exaggerated in number.

The light sticks in their hands were raised high above their heads, flashing colorful colors.

When the legendary past and present come together, what kind of colors will be interwoven?

It is the most beautiful color in the whole world, all the colors that should exist, colorful, neat, flashing in the eyes like breathing, illuminating the colors of the whole world.

Those who felt surprised and shocked by the running of Gotham Carol may have gained hope in life, courage, or may have gained nothing but a good mood.

In short, everyone is now gathered here, waiting for the next move of Gotham Carol.

"Honestly, what kind of song should we sing on the winner's stage after winning the Japan Cup?"

"I hesitated for a long, long time."

For a really long time, even in the very beginning when it was still Dusk Flowing Song, Gotham Carol has always had complicated emotions about the winner's stage.

She didn't have any yearnings, but she was always curious. She was curious about what kind of scenery she could see on the winner's stage, and what kind of moments and heartbeats she could feel.

However, she didn't have much time at the time, and her singing skills were really bad.

Bo Mu Liuge's voice is naturally ethereal and beautiful, but if he were to go on stage as a singer and rely solely on the beauty of his voice to be listened to, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

Gotham Carol will unconsciously think so.

So, as Bo Mu Liuge, she didn't have the chance to step onto the winner's stage even in the end - she even gave up singing practice due to lack of time and her own lack of determination.

But now, when the jet-black hair is once again stained with the glow that once shone under the moonlight, Gotham Carol has once again been given the opportunity to walk in this world again...

She finally had the leeway to feel, even just once, the slight trembling she might feel when she began to sing as everyone's eyes were focused on the stage.

So why not do it?

"Honestly, I've been curious about what kind of scenery I'd see, what kind of feelings I'd get, and what kind of views I'd face on the winner's stage for a long time, but due to various reasons, I chose to give up at that time."

"But now, I have this opportunity, but it seems that I haven't answered the original question yet: what kind of song should I choose?"

"I think, if I only get to step onto the stage once, I have to make that one moment of brilliance become a scene that is etched in everyone's mind and will never be forgotten, right?"

Hey, sorry everyone, I'm actually a pretty bad guy, right? I just wanted to get on the winner's stage once, but I wanted everyone to remember my singing for the rest of their lives, and never forget it...
