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

Can the situation be reversed? Black ghost!

Can you pull the ankle of the devil on the throne and make her lose her calm strength and arrogance?

On Sunday Serenity, she threw a desperate challenge to the Gotham Carol.

"Still accelerating, black ghost, black ghost! She has completely broken through the barrier of flames. Can we catch up? As long as she goes faster, faster, she can, she can... Oh my God? This, this is really not a dream?!"

"Gotham Carol... No, no... Caesar, Kai... Augustus, that demon king, she actually still has room to speed up?!"

The commentator couldn't believe it, she was even doubting her own eyes. What a joke, what a joke! This had already entered a top-speed running duel from the very beginning of the match. How could Gotham Anthem still accelerate under such circumstances?!

Originally, at her speed, if she could reach the finishing stage, she would even be able to break the best record of the Arima Kinen event over the years, and it would be a level where even talking about surpassing it would seem as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But now, but now…!

But now, Gotham Carol still had the energy to speed up? Could she go even faster?

"No, no, no, no, no, this is not a joke, this is not a dream, this is reality, everyone, Black Phantom's challenge failed, it's not her fault, it's really not her fault, she was already so fast...!"

If Black Phantom was truly a contestant, she would have become a legend in another era...!

It's even a historical legend. Things like this, things like this...

"Gotham Carol, is there really no way to defeat Gotham Carol? Is there no way to defeat that monster, that demon king, that being destined to dominate the world? Oddball has also begun to accelerate. Her speed is also very fast, more than enough to enter the top few competitions before the end of the race. But although she has been dormant in the front group and has enough speed, she no longer has the chance to challenge Gotham Carol!"

"The game is about to end! It's about to end!"

The commentator didn't know how to deal with her feelings for a moment, but in the end, she still witnessed the silver flames on the field that seemed to never go out. After taking a deep breath to calm down, she said something that could be considered quite out of line for someone of her status.

"I think, although this may not be appropriate for me to say, everyone who watched this match can see that this Arima Kinen is already a historic performance. All the horse girls in this match would have performed very well in any previous Japanese event."

Especially those who ranked second to fifth or sixth in this competition are able to firmly enter the championship ranks in major Japanese competitions in previous years.

There was one thing that the commentator was actually not sure about before, but now she finally has an answer.

After all, why was the Japan Cup so ravaged by Gotham Carol?

"I don't think it's because the players didn't work hard enough. Quite the opposite. In previous years, most of the players in this competition would have been able to enter the Hall of Fame, or even become legendary, right? But! But only this year!"

In other words, it's not like this only when Gotham Carol is around, absolutely not like this!

Only at times like this, no matter how outstanding a horse girl is, she is not worthy of saying, "I can become a historical legend."

Because at least in this era, at least before Gotham Carol retires, there will never be another horsegirl as powerful as this one in the whole of Japan. It can be said that the whole of Japan can only look up to one sun...!

"Only this year, none of these potential legends are eligible, because this year in Japan, because of this era in Japan, there can only be one legend, only one person can enjoy the glory of the crown."

What is her name?

Yes……

"Gotham Carol!"

"Gotham Carol-!!!"

The Demon King, who crushed countless enemies, finally crossed the finish line in glory with the whole audience shouting his name, leaving behind only the still burning flames and the horse girls in the audience who could only chase after his back, completely powerless.

The commentator looked at the finish line, which was now the focus of everyone's attention, and she finally added something that she had to say.

"Just like there was a year called Liuge, I think that many years from now, this year in Japan will also have a name that belongs to her alone. This era can only have one name, because she is ultimately the property of the Demon King."

"The Year of the Demon King of Carols..."

The commentator's voice was drowned out by the thunderous cheers of the audience. In fact, many viewers had expected this, but they did not expect the game to be so tortuous and full of twists and turns. For a while, people simply could not be stingy with their cheers.

Gotham Carol was more concerned. She looked around the track, then looked in the opposite direction of the finish line, at the horse girls who were still running.

Sunday Tranquility was the leader, but the now-illusive Miss Black Ghost was already quite shallow. After meeting Gotham Carol's eyes, she gave a playful smile, and then...

She suddenly disappeared from the spot, turning into smoke blown away by the wind.

But at the last second, Gotham Carol understood the silent question of Black Phantom.

[Will you miss me when I'm gone, little one?]

Who would miss you, you old thing who makes me worry...!

Gotham Carol shook her head. It was really hard to judge what kind of mentality Zhou Ri Ning Jing had in saying such a thing. She was too lazy to guess what new tricks this old man who always gave her a little scare was trying to play.

Gotham Carol looked further back, with an unwilling look on his face, but saw Phantom Liuge who was still insisting on finishing the race.

Similarly, this little thing was not so much unwilling at this moment, but rather felt unbelievable that she had been defeated head-on. Her steps even became a little sluggish, and at the last moment she was overtaken by the horse girls behind her.

Gotham Anthem understood what Phantom Flow Song was feeling right now. After all, even after being completely free from the restrictions of Mejiro McQueen, he was still defeated so easily. It really overturned the little guy's thin and fragile worldview, right?

Sorry, later in the evening, or at bedtime? I will comfort you, naughty little wild cat.

Then, there was Mejiro McQueen who was running towards them with determination, surpassing Phantom Liuge's figure, and Manchester City Tea House who was still chasing the game and the figure in the front.

By the way, Twin Turbine was still running, but she had been overtaken by Oguruma. However, even so, in the 2,500-meter race, as someone who was adaptable to short and medium distances, she still managed to get ahead of Condor.

These two horse girls who relied solely on their instincts to complete the race actually managed to make it to the end—?!

Gotham Carol was still staying where she was. She was waiting, waiting for the horse girl who was filled with resentment and sadness to come to her.

However, although Gotham Carol did not have much awareness of the normal process of the game - she was always immersed in the atmosphere of forward charge, and actually did not have too much extra thinking.

Even knowing when to accelerate and when to activate the domain is not so much a matter of judging the situation as it is of following one's instincts, and activating wherever one thinks of.

And the only thing that woke her up from her vacant state during the entire match seemed to be the old man's sudden attack.

In short, although she said that she was unaware of the entire process of the competition, Mejiro McQueen really came to her by relying on his strong, hard-earned strength, which was entirely his own, right?

This is the purest and most powerful thing that I like to see the most, the strength that belongs only to you.

Gotham Carol just smiled. She watched Mebiro McQueen come to her side and then stopped her from saying sorry.

"Hush, you've become strong on your own. If you want to become even stronger, why don't you come after me, your older sister?"

Gotham Carol said this while winking at Mejiro McQueen. Manchester Tea House, who crossed the finish line almost at the same time as Mejiro Jo's horse girl, reached out and pinched Gotham Carol's cheek, pulling gently.

"what about me?"

"Ahaha, Tea House Sister, it doesn't make much difference...! Besides, no matter how far I run, I'll always be waiting for you here!!!"

Manchester City Tea House was helpless, while Mebiro McQueen on the side was still covering his face and savoring what Gotham Carol had just said, without much response.

Sister Songge praised me! She even said she'd wait for me to catch up! Ah, so...

All my efforts for so long have not been in vain...

That's great.

Looking at Mebai McQueen, who had completely lost her ability to judge, Manchester City Tea House didn't have too many tangled thoughts. Well, Song Ge had said so, so all he could do was keep an eye on her and not let this idiot get too far...

This is also my sister's responsibility.

Yes, it must be.

Manchester Tea House was still trying to convince herself, and subconsciously, she wanted to call her friends to ask whether it was necessary to pursue such a cunning matter as Gotham Carol.

However, after calling out several times without receiving any response and falling into confusion, Manchester City Tea House suddenly felt someone put his arms around his waist.

"Um…?"

"Hey, of course the top three are going to have a victory parade, right?"

Manchester Tea House suddenly realized, and then nodded slightly, but he didn't really reject the fact that Gotham Carol had his arm around his waist.

After a slight hesitation, she even hugged him back.

Then, Manchester City Tea House felt Mejiro McQueen's arm.

?

The horse girl with long black hair had just turned her head and had not waited to say anything when Gotham Carol took the lead in jogging. Manchester City Tea House, whose opportunities were snatched away by such behavior, was helpless. She could not say anything and could only run with them in the audience stands of the stadium, showing their glory as the top three.

However, what Manchester City Tea House didn’t see was that on the other side, Mejiro McQueen actually had the same mood and reaction.

It was at this moment that the two horse girls completely achieved a miracle in the world - at least at this moment, their thoughts were completely synchronized and they were thinking about the same thing.

If only Song Ge (Sister) could just hug me.

But it's just an idea after all.

What is reality?

It was Gotham Anthem hugging the waists of two people, and the three of them pressed together tightly without leaving any gap to complete the display of victory, and then accompanied by the continuous sound of shutter clicks, it became an eternal classic picture in the history of Uma Musume.

Chapter 149: A sense of security from the new universe

In fact, there has always been a rumor that Gotham Carol will perform on the winner's stage in every game after the Japan Cup.

No one knew when this news spread. In short, all the audience at the Arima Kinen knew about it clearly. But in the end, when night fell and the stage lights were not on, the people in the audience sighed and lamented to each other.

As expected, Miss Ode is Miss Ode. How could the Demon King, just because he got interested once in an incident, end up as the winner at the end of every competition?

So, people returned home together.

Until very late, he was still sitting in the car, watching the bustling crowd of fans and spectators singing Gotham songs outside the window as they were leaving the theater. He kept throwing and catching his phone in a lack of interest, and then repeated this behavior.

"Miss Carol, do you have any requests that you hope to fulfill?"

"No, no, I'll just upload it like this. Can it be finished tonight? Don't worry, I'll pay the staff for their overtime. I'll just give them... five times their regular salary."

Gotham Carol thought so and closed the cap of the pen in his hand and pushed it over.

In front of her was a signed contract with specific legal effect, and in front of her was the liaison person of a certain website.

This is also the real reason why she has stayed here and has not left outside the Zhongshan stadium.

The Mejiro family's private car was very spacious, so she didn't go to another place to meet with the website staff. Instead, she waited here for the music website staff to come with the contract.

As for what Gotham Carol just signed?

This is a priority supply contract regarding the copyright of the songs she recorded on the winner's stage of the Japan Cup, as well as the recording engineer's version of her solo performance that may be released later.

It can be considered as a way to give back to the fans, right?

At least that's what Gotham Anthem thinks. Even the last winner's stage was in a state where photography was OK. But that was an operation performed with non-professional recording equipment after all, so there must have been a considerable degree of loss.

That's why Gotham Anthem is discussing this matter with the website staff here, and the same goes for the road recordist version later.

Mejiro Castle has complete recording studio facilities. If Gotham Anthem is interested, maybe they can send us some songs one day.

However, Gotham Anthem does have some requirements for the website. Her conditions are actually quite generous, with only one item requiring additional explanation.

That is, her music records must be free forever, and she cannot require additional content such as VIP and paid music packages.

Anyone who uses the software should be able to hear her singing.

However, the website seemed quite happy about it. In the words of Secretariat No. 3, the old man who had just heard about the Gotham Carol plan -

As long as the name of Gotham Anthem enters the website, it will be a huge wave of traffic. Even if you don’t use your album to sell money, it can bring in a lot of explosive resources. This is something that such a website can feel satisfied with.

Gotham Anthem was quite surprised. In fact, at the beginning, she really thought that such a website might bargain with her. It was at this time that she always became particularly aware of one thing.

I live in the world of horse girls.

After the website's contact person left the Mejiro family's special car, Gotham Carol lagged behind and started the journey home.

When she got out of the car, it was already early morning. Ma Niang, who was already very tired, didn't have the heart to say anything. She just went back to her room, did some simple washing and dressing, and then walked out of the bathroom. She walked to her bed in her nightgown.

After a very brief silence, Gotham Carol did not choose to lift the quilt, but pushed back her nightgown, which was not very comfortable to begin with and easily fell to the ground, and then crawled into the quilt that was supposed to belong to her with a little bit of wetness.

"Xiao Zhou...? You're worried about something."

"Hmm... couldn't sleep, wanted to sing a carol."

There wasn't much hesitation in Xin Yuzhou's tone, but rather more of a request.

The blonde horse girl was quite uneasy at this moment. She hugged Gotham Carol's arm, then pressed her cheek tightly against her shoulder and said this in a pleading tone.

And facing such a new universe, how could Gotham Carol say anything to refuse?

Come to think of it, Xiao Zhou and she haven't slept together like this for a long time.

Gotham Carol has a magical bed. Although the owner of this bed is Gotham Carol, occasionally, well, often some magical horse girls with other hair colors will appear and want to get into the bed.

Of course, there was no so-called pattern, nor was there any so-called struggle. Gotham Carol seemed to have seen a scene where two horse girls were facing each other at the door, but anyway -

Generally speaking, there will always be a cute horse girl refreshed on the bed from time to time.

The last time the new universe was refreshed was a long, long time ago, so long that it seemed like the last time was just after the Japan Cup ended.

That was a month ago!
