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

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, Carol, please let me go, okay?"

Was it wrong? Perhaps it was wrong, or perhaps it was just the way it was said. Mejiro Takamine even smiled as he bit his sister, not really hard at all, and finally stroked Gotham Carol's little head soothingly, and they just stuck together like that.

Mejiro Aldan in front of her looked away helplessly and vigilantly. She didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment.

Well... maybe...

As an accomplice, isn't the other member of my team a little too clumsy to be adorable...?

Hmm...it seems like there is?

Megumi Aldan thought so, but in the end, she could only smile helplessly and relievedly.

Never mind, isn’t this kind of clumsy and straightforward behavior the cutest and most charming thing about my sister?

that is…

It's just too tempting.

Chapter 184: The Promised Things

A week after returning to Japan, Gotham Carol enjoyed a rare period of peace.

Surely there wouldn't be any risk in Mejiro Castle? While Satomi Hikari had been appearing more frequently, other than that, the people around him remained largely unchanged. This discovery somewhat reassured Gotham Carol.

Fortunately, there are changes, but not many. At least Uma Musume, an emotional monster, is obviously not that uncontrollable, so it is still within a safe range now.

Probably, um... let's just take it as it is?

Gotham Carol didn't want to think about it, she didn't dare to think about it, so she skipped the subject completely.

But how should I describe it? Actually, her daily life after returning to Japan is basically the same as when she was still in New York, USA.

Every day I just get up, do daily training, guide Donna's route and spring and autumn equinox training, and then eat and finish.

The biggest change in such a daily routine might be the flight route, right?

At least under the scolding and teaching of Gotham Anthem, Route, which had often failed to finish the race and would go berserk as soon as Donna looked at it, wanting to rely on its disorganized speed advantage to win, became a little less reckless.

Although he still often gets injured due to his overly aggressive running strategy and habit of running without restraint, he has managed to maintain an acceptable level.

In other words, Hangxian has grown from being ravaged and manipulated by Donna in various ways. At least now it has some ability to fight back, or in other words, it has a little possibility of struggling.

From a super invincible ultimate idiot to a super idiot, he was shattered with just one touch.

Can such a thing be considered as something to be celebrated?

So, should I laugh out loud for something like this?

At least Gotham Anthem couldn't laugh, especially since the route that originally had an absolute advantage in terms of numbers was now being severely crushed by the up-and-coming Chunqiufen, which was almost finished with its original style and was becoming quite tall. When such a thing happened before its eyes, Gotham Anthem couldn't laugh in every sense of the word.

Route, route, you... speed, is your head filled with wood? Who turned you into such an idiot? Was it the three goddesses? It had to be the three goddesses, right?!

In short, a very strange situation is currently persisting within their own team. If Xinglue can maintain her condition and sanity, and complete the training match at the right pace, then if the distance is not too long, she should be the strongest one. But the problem is...

It is possible that Hangxian has a brain, but it is unlikely that Hangxian has a brain. Not to mention facing the traps and provocations set by Donna, even when Chunqiufen was about to catch up, she could not suppress her state at all. As long as there were footsteps from the horse girl behind her, Hangxian would start breathing wildly and accelerate as if in response to stress.

This situation really made Gotham Carol feel helpless, while the more experienced Brave Dancer seemed much calmer.

There is no cure for this situation. What you can do is to rub off as much of the bad cat's hair as possible. Only in this way can she show her true strength.

That is to say, based on the guidance of the Brave Dancer, Gotham Carol also increased the amount of individual training for Route, but the method used was inhumane, at least making Route look pale when thinking about it, like Louis XVI facing the gallows.

Gotham Anthem requires that the route cannot use its maximum speed for training matches, and can only use the cruising speed under normal conditions. Even if it accelerates a little bit, it will be considered a failure.

There is no need to go into too much detail about the specific process. In short, the effect is great. The route even evolved into a sad route at one point, which is really cause for celebration.

This is also a last resort. Donna does not need any guidance at all, or in other words, Donna often even lets Gotham Carol learn from her how to teach other horse girls.

After all, this horse girl who believes that strength is justice should actually be able to fight her way through various competitions even on her own. She is the so-called "fully automatic horse girl" in the legend.

Whether it is the information preparation before the game, daily self-discipline training, or post-game review, even Donna herself can do it perfectly, so many times Gotham Anthem seems to want to take away Donna's job and put her aside, allowing her to just focus on training and competing.

Otherwise, wouldn't it make me, a trainer, look useless?!

As for the spring and autumn equinoxes, you don't need to spend too much time thinking about them.

Chunqiufen is an incredibly obedient child. As long as a plan is made, she will give priority to it. After finishing everything, she will return to Gotham Carol and wait quietly without saying anything until Gotham Carol makes the subsequent schedule.

So compared to the two horse girls who are very easy to take care of, Route has always been the one who takes the most effort in Gotham Carol.

Is this the reason why, even after enduring a request that was even considered unbearable pain for her, she still obeyed Gotham Anthem's orders?

After all, she is indeed the one that Gotham Carol has spent the most time and effort on.

She was just a little rough and didn't believe in Gotham Carol before, but after seeing everything in New York, she naturally knew how powerful her trainer was and what kind of guy he was.

Perhaps there is only one person who can tame the route? If so, I must make sure you hold on to the reins tightly. No one can snatch it away, no one can take it away...

However, even in this noisy daily life, two things are certain.

Chunqiufen will debut next year, while Hangxian will return to New York at the end of this year to complete his debut competition.

After all, the route is actually better at dirt tracks. One reason is that there is no such stage in Japan, and the other is -

Japan's event status is a bit too small for the current route. Even now, Gotham Carol knows one thing clearly.

As long as Hangxian can control her temper on the court, she will have a chance of winning even if she steps onto the stage of the American Triple Crown at this moment.

This is the strength of a horse girl who hasn't even entered the New Year of the Horse!

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, the route should return to the United States to challenge the American Triple Crown.

However, Gotham Carol does not stay in Mejiro Castle all the time. At least most of the time she chooses to go back to Tresen Central College to spend the night.

Not to mention that Aerisuko and the Emperor of the East Sea are still there, just think of it as a change of mood or something, the school dormitory is also very comfortable to live in.

The Emperor of the East China Sea seems to be in very good condition. After finally recovering to her competitive form and being reborn from her injury, she seems to be almost the same as before. Whether it is training or anything else, her daily life is quite fulfilling.

Such content inevitably made the Gotham Caroler worry whether the East Sea Emperor's ankle would suffer another accident due to such a forced run.

However, the Emperor of the East China Sea himself was much more open-minded in response to such inquiries.

"This possibility is indeed unavoidable, but no matter what, I won't stop because of it, okay? Because, the Emperor has someone he must catch up to no matter what!"

Well, she had to catch up with the person no matter what... If it were a month ago, Gotham Carol might have been wondering who this person was, but now, she could only look away awkwardly, avoiding the eyes of the East China Sea Emperor that were flashing, so bright that they could even be said to be emitting fire.

Who could this person be? It's so hard to guess.

"And if you stopped because you were afraid of an accident, then His Majesty the Emperor will never be able to call himself His Majesty the Emperor again in his lifetime. That kind of His Majesty the Emperor would be too unfamiliar and would be frightening."

"So, Ode, the Emperor will not stop no matter what. Not at all."

The Emperor of the East Sea's ankles are of course fragile. For a horse girl, such fragile ankles can bring unparalleled explosive power, but they also bring the biggest weakness like a curse.

Great power always comes with risks, right? But if you don't use this power because you're afraid of the risks, then is the Emperor of the East China Sea still the Emperor of the East China Sea?

Gotham Carol was speechless. She really had no way to reject such words. In fact, it was in this way that she answered another question in her mind.

Why didn't Rudolf Symbol say no to the East China Sea Emperor who was still trying so hard to force himself?

Because, with such awareness, no one can persuade the Emperor of the East China Sea to stop.

When she heard these words and clearly realized the facts that day, at that moment and afternoon, Gotham Carol felt that she had truly understood the side of the Emperor of the East China Sea that transcended pain and illness and truly shone with unparalleled beauty as a horse girl. It could be considered a return of favor, at least she practiced a lot with the Emperor of the East China Sea quite seriously that afternoon.

However, time passed by little by little, and another thing that had been on Gotham Carol's schedule was about to be officially completed.

What kind of thing is it?

At the end of one afternoon, Gotham Carol changed into the long dress she had bought in New York in her room.

How could she describe her current mood? She had probably made the purchase on impulse, thinking that even if she did, there was still plenty of time.

But now when he came to his senses, he found that the agreed time was about to come. Such a thing made Gotham Carol quite sigh.

It turns out that time is the least valuable thing and also the most precious thing.

In short, after she changed into her dress in front of the mirror and turned around twice while holding the edge of her dress to confirm that she was frighteningly beautiful in every sense of the word, Gotham Carol finally felt relieved.

However, during this gap, she picked up her phone, took a photo, added the usual tag, and posted it on her social account, continuing her daily disguise as a coser.

That is, after doing such small things that seemed to help him relax, Gotham Carol took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and ended the process of adjusting his state.

Since everything has been agreed upon, there is nothing to be afraid of at this point, right?

Even though after intensive training, Gotham Carol still felt that her ballroom dancing was frighteningly lazy, it was just a dance. So, there was nothing to be afraid of, right?

So what is it that makes Gotham’s ode so measured and intense?

After leaving the gate of Mejiro Castle, Gotham Carol got into a black car, and then waited for the end of the trip with a little trepidation.

When the car finally stopped, Gotham Carol saw the real reason for this trip.

The first Ruby was dressed up and waiting at her door, and then the two of them walked hand in hand on the way to the banquet hall.

"Thank you so much, Song Ge, for asking you to do this to help me prove..."

"What nonsense! I volunteered to do this. You don't need to apologize. At least it's still private time, right?"

Now is private time, so we can be more intimate, right? Instead of having to show more so-called social etiquette because of what we need to pay attention to in front of many people?

The First Ruby certainly understood what was meant, and her response was much simpler and more direct than it should have been.

Her palm slipped between Gotham Carol's fingers, and theirs were now intertwined.

"Anyway, Ruby, can I ask you a favor?"

"You tell me, Carol, and I'll do it."

Gotham Carol looked up at the moon that had already emerged from the night, then raised the corners of his mouth in a faint smile.

"Can I give you the rest of my time today?"

"Of course... of course you can sing. I will take it well and will definitely not waste it."

The door of the banquet hall gradually appeared in front of the field of vision. The home of the First Ruby was indeed incredibly large, but at this moment, no matter how long the road was, it actually came to an end.

"Ah, but Ruby, there's something I need to tell you in advance."

“What’s going on…?”

"My dancing is probably still as bad as ever, huh?"

"Pfft... It's okay. Just like my last answer, I'll just dance with the hymn, okay?"

This is what the First Ruby should do as it should be.

Chapter 185, Ode to Stay Night!

The First Ruby House is really big, very big, even more magnificent than Mejiro Castle.

However, under Ruby's guidance, Gotham Carol did not suffer such an embarrassing incident as getting lost. She walked into the banquet hall with the people around her and calmly accepted everyone's gaze.

"I will take it well. Today's hymn belongs only to me."

It was at this time that the First Ruby made such a reply in a very low voice, giving a positive response to Gotham Carol's previous words.

Although, such a statement could be considered strange from any perspective—if it was before, when they knew nothing, Gotham Carol might have thought it was a fairly normal response that would only cause ambiguity, but now...

How can I describe the mood of Gotham Carol at this moment?

Ruby's words were too foul and cunning, weren't they? Of course, there was no way to refuse them at this point...

"Ruby's getting cunning too."

This was the answer uttered by Gotham Carol, but what was more concrete, or what people around them couldn't hear but could clearly see, was that the two of them walked hand in hand to the center of the dance floor, and then held hands and danced gracefully in front of the gazes of all the so-called celebrities who had stopped and considered themselves supporting roles.

In reality, many of the people present were familiar faces. At least many of them had been there the last time Gotham Carol came to First Ruby's house. What surprised everyone was that Gotham Carol, whose dance had been visibly terrible the previous time, could now barely keep up with First Ruby's rhythm?!

Although it is also obvious that the First Ruby, a very accomplished dance partner in this area, is also coordinating with Gotham Carol, but even so, if Gotham Carol on the other side has not done a considerable amount of practice, then no matter how much the First Ruby wants to cooperate, it is impossible for her to reach the current level of proficiency, right?

You have to know that Gotham Carol is a very famous horse girl and a new trainer. She went to the Dubai World Cup some time ago and obtained the qualification for permanent reputation protection. In addition, she has to train the horse girls of her team. No one present can imagine how busy her daily life is.

Maybe every minute and every second will be strictly allocated for management?

Under such circumstances, Miss Gotham Carol actually had the energy to practice ballroom dancing?!

For a legendary horsegirl like her, it wouldn't matter if she didn't practice this kind of dance... Anyway, there was only one reason to practice, right? Just for a dance like this.

It seems that the relationship between Miss Gotham Carol and her eldest daughter is really a sure thing in every sense...?

The people present at the scene had different thoughts at this moment. Many of them did not even try to hide their happy expressions. After all, this was a huge boost in strength for the First Family. Even if there were no more substantial results, or if the eldest lady and Miss Song did not become each other's only legal partner, it did not matter.

For the famous families of these horse girls, it is not particularly important whether they can reach a certain level or not. What is more important is... whether they can introduce such a powerful bloodline into their own family. This is the most important thing.
