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

So, as the one being envied, Gotham Carol actually fully supports this behavior.

I long to become a powerful horse girl like her, to have everything I don't have now, and to have an unimaginable brilliant life... I always feel that it is extremely arrogant for the main character to want such things.

However, what is the root cause of this situation?

To sum up, it’s still what the Secretariat said yesterday... talent, talent.

The most realistic and least fairy-tale-like thing in the world of Uma Musume, the thing that makes people feel helpless and silent when thinking about it, the biggest obstacle to the competitive spirit of Uma Musume, and the biggest evidence to distinguish Uma Musume from other horse girls...

It's such a cruel thing.

"As expected, you would think so, Sister Aldan—"

"Y-yeah… huh?"

However, a clear voice that was so familiar that it seemed strange suddenly sounded from behind.

Why is it so familiar yet somehow strange?

Familiar refers to the fact that the area of ​​this voice is very familiar, as if you hear it every day, and unfamiliar refers to... compared to the slightly hoarse voice of Gotham Carol after its rebirth, this voice coming from behind has more of the lost clarity that can never come back, which belonged to Gotham Carol in the past.

Or--

The voice belongs to Bo Mu Liu Ge.

"Shh, I understand. You don't want others to know, right—?"

Tsk, don't act like you know me so well, that's terrible... Being treated like this is one thing, but what's the worst part? Well, Gotham Carol really doesn't want passersby to know about this.

So, after taking a deep breath, she looked at the horse girl in front of her.

In fact, it was only after facing “himself” face to face that Gotham Carol realized one thing clearly.

It turns out that I have grown taller and bigger.

Hehe, I was really a small fry and a dwarf in the past~

Gotham Carol saw the fire clearly burning in Mu Liuge's eyes, but she had no intention of repenting and just put her thoughts on the table openly.

Obviously, Mu Liuge was furious! But Gotham Carol raised the corner of his mouth for such a thing. After all...

It was a fight, but I won, okay?

Obviously, Bo Mu Liuge wasn't an overly impulsive person. The difference between the two people's mentality, or other than their state of mind, wasn't that big. In fact, compared to them...

Both Bo Mu Liu Ge and Mu Yu may be the one with the lighter burden.

After all... why should the dead bear unnecessary burdens?

"Okay, okay, I admit you win. Anyway, let's go somewhere else. Being tied up here isn't the way I like to fight. You don't like chatting in such a crowded place, do you?"

Having said that, Mu Liuge reached out her hand without question, and she grasped Gotham Carol's wrist like a vice, and then in front of everyone at the comic convention...

Bo Mu Liu Ge grabbed Aldan Meguro and ran away!

Gotham Carol even vaguely heard the screams of the foal in the back.

"It's true, I believe it's true, Master Liuge and Master Aldan...!!! Blessing!"

No, that's nothing.

The corner of Gotham Carol's mouth twitched, but such horrific content should only be an isolated case. Thinking of this, she didn't say anything more.

Aren’t there more important things to deal with right now?

Being dragged around by a dead person is not my style...!

In the end, it was a healthier state, or in other words, it was a state that had developed longer. The two people who were originally being pulled forward changed their posture in the next second. Gotham Carol went directly to the front and became the one who pulled Mu Liuge forward.

The noise mixed with screams at the back became even louder...

How to describe it?

Anyway, the loudest Gotham Anthem I've ever heard is, uh...

"Philthu, pinch my philtrum... Ugh."

It came to an abrupt end, even with a scream, which can only be described as extremely realistic.

But Gotham Carol, who had already dragged Bo Mu Liu Ge out of the venue, didn't have the energy to care about such things. She only knew that she had won the second match again. With such a great victory, Gotham Carol could naturally be said to be full of momentum.

"So, what exactly do you want to talk about? The guy who crawled out of the underworld to challenge me—?"

Gotham Carol said this, but what actually surprised her was that when she really faced her past self, she didn't feel too nervous at all. The strong blood that kept gushing out from her heart was flowing to her whole body along with her pulse, bringing more strength bit by bit.

Before I saw you, I might be scared and nervous, but when you really showed up in a grand manner without any mystery...

It was really surprising. My heart was boiling, but my brain was extremely calm. The original strange mood was now mixed, and there was only one answer in my mind.

Bo Mu Liu Ge, right? The past me wanted you to be my rival, right...?

Hee, are you qualified?

I want to... kill you!

whee.

I won't lose to anyone. If anyone wants to challenge me and loses... I won't show mercy just because you cry or something, okay?

Sooner or later I will torture you to tears...!

Gotham Anthem, at this moment, or rather, only in front of her past self, could she completely and completely uncontrollably reveal her worst self, like spitting out black mud. That arrogant, absolute self that denied any challenger and wanted to completely tear apart any horsegirl who had any intentions towards her and stepped onto the field...

Malicious monster.

Chapter 207: Declaration of War

There was no change on Bo Mu Liu Ge's face. Rather, it was normal to see Gotham Carol's unconcealed expression.

Of course she knew what kind of horsegirl she was, what kind of existence she was, and how much deep resentment she had suppressed in her heart...

Rather, if I were to be reborn and walk into this world, this aspect might be considered to have been weakened a lot, right?

Regardless of whether it was the life before or after the time travel, at least for all the memories that Bo Mu Liuge had, none of them could be considered easy...

What makes her happiest is that after she dies, she can just run and compete with others every day without any worries.

As a horse girl, you can still find happiness, if running is not for the sake of grades or something like that...

In short, Mu Liuge did not show the slightest panic when looking at Gotham Carol in front of her. She even leaned against the wall behind her with her arms folded over her chest in a very relaxed manner.

"I think you've been looking forward to our meeting for a long time. You don't have to answer. I know what you're thinking. After all, I can roughly guess what you're thinking."

Really, not much has changed? It was at this moment that Bo Mu Liuge finally understood why so many people were so confident about something.

Gotham Carol is definitely the Dusk Song—!

Originally, such a thing made her, a horse girl who had almost nothing except the name, a little annoyed, but after meeting him in person, even if she was unhappy about such a thing, Bo Mu Liuge could only admit that it was indeed the case.

The similarity between the two people is not only that their appearance is not much different, but also that their expressions and behavioral logic are almost the same in many ways... Forget it, forget it, you win this time.

"Yes, I've been looking forward to it for a long time. I was curious about how you would react and what you would say. I was indeed quite nervous."

"But you also know this, right...?"

Bo Mu Liuge raised the corners of his mouth.

"When you saw me, you didn't feel that way anymore. You felt strangely calm. Don't look at me like that. Of course, I do know."

"Okay, okay, let's just skip the boring parts. Carol, oh Carol, that's a good name."

"Anyway, why am I here? You're curious about the reason for this, right? Actually, the real reason I want to see you..."

"Are you here to declare war?"

Gotham Carol had a blank expression on his face, and even looked disdainful as if he had realized it a long time ago.

Declaration of war? I thought it was a declaration of war, but that's it. So, why do you have such a strange idea?

"Of course it's because questioning your existence as my future is really annoying, isn't it? Why is it you who has returned to the real world, while I, as a dead person, have to stay in hell?"

Although the days at Sanzu River were very happy for Bokumu Liuge, but...but...!

But it was just happiness, far from being happiness. After all, Bo Mu Liuge had so many ties in the real world, but after going to Sanzu River, he could not see any of them, and could not feel the familiar faces of the past at all. It was a painful thing to want to see the faces of people again, especially after a long period of loneliness, opening his heart and losing again.

Even if a war is declared, nothing will change, but let's just vent our anger, right? Bo Mu Liuge desperately wants to give this real self a punch. Even if it means breaking her undefeated myth, it would be quite fun, right?

Hehe, Mu Liuge, of course you can, I can easily speak!

"I know you'll laugh at my behavior, calling it selfish, arrogant, or anything else you don't like. Call me what you will. Anyway, I just don't like you. Come on up, Dream Cup, and run a race. I'll make you taste the bitter taste of defeat."

Bo Mu Liu Ge's words were both frank and selfish. In short, they were contradictory to the extreme, but Gotham Carol still clearly understood the meaning of the other party's words.

I'm really upset with you and I'm jealous, so I'm going to kick your ass.

That's how it should be, right?

How should I put it? A loser is kind of cute. Hehe, so that's how you think.

Honestly speaking, if Bo Mu Liu Ge could come up with some high-sounding words to make a reason that Gotham Carol had no way to refuse, Gotham Carol might just become furious and try its best to reject such a declaration of war.

However, the current situation of Bo Mu Liu Ge can no longer be said to be aboveboard. At least it can be regarded as a child's angry behavior, which made Gotham Carol change its mind.

That's what you think, right? If so, then I have to stick with you until the end. Do you want me to taste the bitterness of failure?

Haha, hahahaha, even if it was me in the past who fantasized about this kind of thing?

Where do you get the qualifications to be so arrogant!

"Okay, but you have to remember one thing. It's not you, a dead man from the past, declaring war on me. Rather, I'm going to give you a spectacular defeat in order to make you realize your own fragility and foolishness."

The myth of Bo Mu Liu Ge's invincibility will be shattered in the future when she dies. The Cup of Dreams... is the end and conclusion of your myth!

Gotham Carol had no intention of talking any more to Bo Mu Liu Ge. After giving this answer, she walked out from the hidden corner, and then jumped back to her usual self and returned to the people she was familiar with.

Mubai Aldan did look in the direction of Bo Mu Liuge, but it was just a glance, and Manchester City Tea House was even more indifferent, not paying him any attention at all, just like treating a stranger.

Even Sunday Tranquility appeared vaguely, and then hugged Gotham Carol from behind, and the three of them and one ghost set out on their journey home.

Bo Mu Liu Ge behind him fell into deep sighs... This was why she envied Gotham Carol and even declared war out of spite -!

It’s really enviable!

The figures of several people were getting farther and farther away in Bo Mu Liu Ge's sight, and in the end, she did not stay where she was, but returned to the several horse girls in the venue who came from the same past as her.

Never mind, these old fools around here don't look that bad.

On the way home, Gotham Carol explained to the two sisters and an old man beside her what had just happened. After the explanation, Aldan Mejiro also sighed.

As expected, Liuge is also a very childish horse girl?

Gotham Carol felt that something was wrong with these words, and she was so puzzled that she finally chose to give up thinking.

Anyway, my sister definitely has some strange intentions. In that case...

Don’t think that I’ve given up thinking and will do nothing!!!

Gotham Carol hugged Aldan Mejiro's arm and bit it lightly and viciously.

Ouch! I’ll bite you to death!

Mejiro Aldan didn't react at all, or rather, she didn't react at all to being bitten. At most, she raised her hand and stroked her sister's soft hair as she did every time she was bitten.

Oh, my sister is so cute. However, if Songge knew what happened at the comic convention just now, she might be even more surprised. What kind of reaction would she have?

Megumi Ardan felt a little reluctant. Although it was only a matter of time before his sister would know, since his sister was in such a good mood now, why not just tell her for a while tonight, right?

To some extent, Megumi Aldan began to understand the feelings of the elders she had met before, and such things made her sigh for a moment.

However, humans consider their mood, but ghosts are not so cautious.

Sunday Ningjing approached Gotham Carol mysteriously, and then showed a smile so bright that it made people shudder.

It’s better for Ning Jing not to smile on Sunday. It’s not that the old woman looks ugly when she smiles, but that when she smiles, someone will definitely be in trouble...!

And she is smiling happily now!

Gotham Carol stopped biting, and she began to think seriously about one thing, that is, could she pounce on Sunday Tranquility and pin it down under her and do something harsh as an early revenge?

But let's not talk about whether or not it can be done. If it could be done, in front of everyone on the subway, I would be floating in the air, biting and ripping like a puppy...

Gotham Carol always felt that if she wanted to do this, Zhou Ri Ning Jing would not say whether she cared about such things or not, she would definitely feel that she had not suffered any loss...

You are such a funny guy, you are really invincible!

How does that sentence go?
