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

But now it seems!

It seemed that even if she didn't admit it, it wouldn't be of much use. People would always discuss this matter excitedly, and it would spread over time... It didn't even take too long. In just one night, even if she didn't admit it, she had already "admitted" it.

Gotham Carol's mouth twitched, and she quickly opened the last piece of pure land.

Why is it said to be the last pure land?

Because this was the place she didn't dare to open some time ago, or in other words, it was the place where she was most resistant and sharp to the identity statement of Gotham Anthem.

So, where is this place?

It is the fan support club for the Great Escape Ma Musume Exchange Meeting and the Murasaki Ryuga.

In fact, at that time, Gotham Carol clearly understood why so many escaped horse girls showed considerable resistance to her.

The reason is very simple, because she has the same face as the God of Escape in everyone's mind, and she also has powerful strength, but her running method is not to escape at all.

There is a very good sentence that describes the attitude of the children in this place towards her at that time.

There is no such thing as the Great Escape Soul!

but…

This was before too.

Gotham Carol looked at the screen of his mobile phone, and under the amused gazes of New Universe and First Ruby, he felt like the sky was falling.

[Sorry, Gotham Carol, I was abrupt, I apologize to you]

[I'm sorry, Bo Mu Liuge. I was abrupt too. I apologize.]

The moral standards of horse girls are much higher than those of humans, but what is the situation being manifested now?

Even though no one in the club went to deal with such behavior, all the girls who had made such remarks consciously posted a special confession thread overnight or at the end of the game.

Then, nearly half of the users in the entire club participated and made their own apologies and confessions.

Hmm...how can I describe the whole scene?

Are you doing some kind of religious confession? You won't get anything from praying to me!

Yeah! I still like your rebellious side!

Gotham Ode always feels that such things are weird. In my impression, even if such a thing is done, even if it is caught, there will always be a group of people who insist on being stubborn, right?

However, Gotham Carol felt that the situation where Ma Musume directly admitted her mistakes was a bit too dreamy.

In short, she kept browsing the content about herself and the Japanese Cup until the morning dew completely dissipated, and then she came back to her senses at the call of Mejiro Aldan.

"Hmm... What's wrong, Aldan-san?"

"My memory is really bad... The Japan Cup isn't completely over yet, is it?"

The Japan Cup isn't completely over yet...? Strange, the race clearly finished yesterday, and the interviews and winner's stage were even held. So, what's the reason it hasn't concluded yet, despite such a perfect ending?

Aldan was quite satisfied with Gotham Carol's slightly puzzled expression. She just pinched her silly sister's cheek and gave her a gentle reminder.

"You forgot why you went to the Japan Cup. The secretary specifically instructed that the trial won't begin until you arrive at the venue."

Why did I participate in the Japan Cup? Of course...ah!

Is that what happened?

Gotham Carol was a little confused for a moment by the jumpiness of Aldan's topic, but when she linked the Japan Cup and the Secretariat together, especially why she participated in the Japan Cup and the Secretariat, she completely understood that it was for this kind of thing.

Gotham Carol came to her senses and stood up to follow Aldan Mejiro's footsteps, but when she was about to leave, she looked at Ms. Kaito and Kaito Star standing by the car.

"Huh? I remember Fan Gaoer is here too. Where is she? Doesn't she want to go out with us?"

"Ah, Fangor..."

Haidu Star didn't know how to describe it, but at this time, the mature Haidu lady took over the topic.

"Little Fan Gaoer, I don't know why she wants to be alone today. Hmm... I feel like she's encountered some troubles."

"Oh, I hope she gets better soon."

Gotham Carol nodded. She had a feeling that Fangal's current condition was related to herself, but she couldn't figure out why. After thinking about it, she decided to give up thinking about it.

Forget it. If little Fan Gaoer continues to be like this, I'll find a chance to find out what the reason is.

Gotham Carol was still quite curious in her heart, wondering why Fangoll, who was so lively and naughty, suddenly became so unwilling to go out.

However, she finally put such doubts behind her, got in the car and went to Ura's headquarters with Mejiro Altan and the others.

In fact, at the beginning, the Secretariat even wanted to announce the documents they had prepared in advance directly on the field after the end of the Japan Cup, which would take effect directly as soon as Gotham Anthem met the victory conditions.

However, when they learned that Gotham Carol would hold the winner's stage on the night of the Japan Cup, the two veteran legends tacitly chose to postpone such an event.

Anyway, there is no rush. Even if it is postponed for one night, it doesn't matter. Just regard it as the last charity and mercy to Ura... After all, when the judgment is about to come, anxious waiting is more painful than a quick and decisive end, right?

This is what the Secretariat thought. Anyway, she went to the door of Ura's headquarters this morning, and then she didn't say anything, just stood there with her arms folded where everyone could see her.

Hello everyone, I'm from the Secretariat.

This is probably the kind of grand momentum.

The Secretariat remembered the private message she sent to Ura from the Gotham Anthem account in the chat history. Ura must have been surprised at that time. Then why is she standing here in such bright light today...

How do you feel now, ura, how do you feel now!

It didn't take too long for the Secretariat to know without opening her eyes that there were several people in suits standing at the entrance of the hall not far in front of her, almost bowing and kneeling down to apologize and beg her.

But these guys are not the protagonists today, and even the Secretariat itself does not think it can be the protagonist.

After all, there's only one horsegirl who can announce something like that, right?

But the movement is a little slow.

The Secretariat was not too anxious, but still looked casually at the distance. Just with this glance, she slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

why?

Because the person she was waiting for arrived.

The Mejiro family's actions were pretty good, not that slow.

Thinking this, Secretariat took a few steps forward and walked up the stairs lightly, without even looking at the ura members who were originally there to greet her.

As the legendary horse girl who is probably the oldest and most experienced in the world, Secretariat pushed open the door of Ura headquarters at this time, and then looked in the direction she came from with a faint smile.

And there, the Mejiro family's special car just stopped. Gotham Carol, who was in a daze, just got out of the car and saw Secretariat's wanton and crazy smile. Then, he was confused and walked into the hall of Ura surrounded by the horse girls around him.

Wow, what on earth is going on with this feeling of gangsters coming to demolish my house?

Gotham Carol was still hesitating, but there was no need to wait for the elevator. She was surrounded by the crowd and went upstairs, and then entered the core area of ​​ura.

Contrary to what one might imagine, Ura, a giant in the Japanese horse racing world, does not actually have a very gorgeous interior, and even has a rather gloomy feel to it.

This impression is reinforced by the fact that all the people you can see here are in their thirties and forties.

At least in Gotham Carol, there are not many horse girls here, but all of them are human members.

The only one who is obviously related to Ura is the horse girl with a slightly childish look and a very strange pupil shape.

However, this was obviously not the focus of her trip. Realizing what the Secretariat wanted to do, Gotham Carol had no chance to refute. She could only helplessly muster all her energy to cooperate.

No matter what, this is the treatment and opportunity that the Secretariat has spent a lot of effort to fight for. At least the thoughts and brain cells that Old Man No. 2 has put into it cannot be wasted.

After entering the meeting room, the secretary pulled out a chair arrogantly and sat on the main seat as a matter of course.

The members of Ura looked at each other in bewilderment, and Gotham Carol even saw the so-called deathly look on those particularly old faces.

Obviously, these people never thought that things would come to this point today, and they did not expect the Secretariat to do things so drastically.

She didn't leave any room at all!

"I'm here on behalf of the International Uma Musume Competition Committee, Japan's local ura. You should know what I'm here for, right?"

Secretariat actually spoke in an official tone at this time, and while Gotham Carol was listening, she found someone patting her shoulder.

When she turned around, she found that the brave dancer dressed as a secretary placed a document next to her and then handed her a pen.

Let me sign...?

Gotham Carol looked at the bottom of the page...

[Gotham Ode, Special Review Committee Member of Japan's International Tournament Promotion and Relegation Mechanism: (Signature Area)]

Hmm...? Special Audit Committee? Me? Wait, this isn't right, is it?

Am I not the one running the race on the field?

Gotham Carol was puzzled, but signed his name after the Brave Dancer nodded firmly.

"Of course we know, but Mr. Secretariat, shouldn't we be like this..."

"Rules are rules. Just like you told me many years ago, the right to Mu Liuge's reputation should be in your hands. After all, she debuted in Japan, right?"

Secretariat folded his hands and rested his chin on them, then brought up the past in a mocking tone.

"Very good. Since you want to follow the rules with me, then let's follow the rules. According to the rules, if a racer is outscored by a hundred lengths in an international G1 race, he must be demoted, right?"

The Secretariat did not even try to hide its disparagement and ridicule, and even a look of contempt clearly appeared on its face.

Since the outcome is already determined and we've all come here, wouldn't it be better for us to just accept our death penalty honestly and leave it with dignity?

Now, that's completely lost all face, right?

So, as the very embodiment of hatred, what attitude will you display, Ms. Carol?

The Secretariat looked aside and signaled with her eyes. After a brief silence, the horse girl present, who was originally the softest and the one who seemed least likely to express sharp emotions, stood up.

What is Gotham Carol thinking?

I was thinking, Ura is the only one who must seek an explanation... She couldn't bear the abstract manipulation of these guys and embarked on the path of revenge.

Are you guys going too far?

Ripples flickered on that delicate and plain face, and Gotham Carol's smile was ferocious and arrogant, even hysterical and undisguised, as if a beast that was about to devour the entire world had been summoned.

She was much scarier than the Secretariat, who was always contemptuous and sarcastic, at least at that moment.

"Stop talking nonsense, ura, just sign it, this is what you deserve."

Gotham Carol threw the document over, along with another unused pen.

"Do you still think you have a choice?"

No matter how many choices and hopes you think you have, as long as you don't bow your head, I will crush your hopes time and time again.

Until I break the spines of you annoying, hateful guys.

Let me think about it...

Gotham Carol's smile even became more vicious.

How about I keep you away from international competitions for five years?

Whenever there is hope, I will go straight to the battle.

whee.

Chapter 128: Next Group Photo

Under the silent and oppressive gaze of Gotham Carol, the senior staff of Ura finally lowered their noble heads.

Things were very easy to handle after that. Gotham Carol had made the final judgment, and Secretariat, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, did not hesitate at all. She almost smiled with satisfaction after forcing the people opposite her to sign.

"Very good, this document will take effect immediately. From now on, the Japan Cup will be downgraded to a local G1 event. As for when it can be restored to its original status..."

"That depends on what Miss Gotham Carol means."

Yes, yes, place G1, yes, yes, see what I mean... What? See what I mean?

This, isn't this right?

Gotham Carol frowned strangely, and before he could react, Brave Dancer poked his cheek with a document.

"You personally signed and approved the relegation of the Japan Cup, so if the Japan Cup wants to be restored to the international G1, it also needs your approval, isn't it reasonable?"

Oh, so the document in the hands of the Brave Dancer is the letter of approval recognizing the restoration of the Japan Cup to an international G1 event? No, it's already been prepared at this time. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?

In doubt, Gotham Carol finally took the documents from the Brave Dancer's hand, spread them out on the table, and then caught the pen thrown by the Secretariat from the other side.

Let me see...what's going on.
