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

Well, the taste of Brave Dancer is good, but a bit old.

Gotham Carol doesn't want to see such weird content in its own fan fiction!!!

By the way, the girl who is caught in a storm of thoughts here actually often reads secondary creations and fan fiction about herself in private, and has seen non-public content more than once, and then fell into silence and speechlessness, and could only use running to relieve her state.

Only the brave dancers, only the brave dancers absolutely cannot do that!!!

Seeing that Gotham Carol was about to turn red, and realizing that his counterattack had achieved complete victory, Brave Dancer raised the corners of his mouth in a doting manner.

What is this called?

This is called the sure-win method for singing an ode to Gotham. This little fool will probably be fooled by this for the rest of his life. Oh, what a pity. I'm an old cabbage and not afraid of such things at all.

With this in mind, the Brave Dancer supported Gotham Carol's back from behind, and with a little force, made her walk half a body length in front of him.

Then she turned around and looked at everyone around her, blinking gently.

Shh, don't make things more difficult for this child.

However, it seemed that Gotham Carol had not walked many steps. Although the horse girl's recovery ability was quite strong, she had just returned home from the hospital yesterday, so the wound on her foot had not healed yet.

After giving hints to everyone around him, the Brave Dancer, who had originally just gently pushed Gotham Carol so that the little guy who was trapped in shame could not see his actions, took his hands off his back and changed to hugging the waist to support her, and walked out of the international airport in full view of everyone.

Oh, let’s just pretend that what happened today never happened. You all didn’t see what happened just now, right?

It was just now.

The Brave Dancer helped Gotham Carol all the way into the car, and then withdrew his hand. The horse girl who was being helped was completely unaware of what had just happened. She put her arm on the car window and looked outside as usual.

"Didn't Aldan and Manchester Tea House come back with you?"

"Well, Sister Aldan is going to help Sister Gaofeng in the United States, and as for Sister Chazuo, it's Laodong... Ningjing said on Sunday that she wanted to go somewhere, so I had to go with her."

If the two of them came back with me, would it be your turn as a bad guy to pick them up at the airport?

Gotham Carol is increasingly disgusted with the Brave Dancer. Specifically, she seems to never be able to gain any advantage in front of the Brave Dancer, and...

Something felt wrong with what had just happened. What had she overlooked?

Seeing that Gotham Carol was about to recall something, Brave Dancer did not show any impatience. She even looked at Gotham Carol's profile for a few seconds before speaking slowly with her arms folded across her chest.

"Oh, by the way, Donna's battle plan is indeed perfect this time, but have you ever thought about what would happen if Xingmu and Jifeng didn't follow the routine and started playing tricks on their heads?"

The brave dancer acted quite formally as if it were a test, and as the atmosphere gradually calmed down, Gotham Carol also turned his gaze away after getting in the car.

Indeed, her plan was designed based on the assumption that Xingmu and Jifeng would choose the same combat strategy as before, and then continue to try to clash and crush Donna with their hard power.

But the question is, what if these two don’t follow the routine?

There aren't so many what-ifs. This isn't something that can be achieved just by talking about it...!

"Will they change their strategy? No, the only thing they can change is their running style. But whether they chase the opponent or run away first, it won't affect Donna's victory in any way."

"Oh?"

Brave Dancer actually agrees with this, but what she wants to hear now is not the conclusion, but why Gotham Carol is so sure about this.

"It's simple. Why did you snipe me like that?"

“…Because I know how powerful and excellent you are.”

The brave dancer licked her lips. To be honest, she really didn't expect Gotham Carol to ask back here. She really didn't expect that there would be a day when she would be able to tell Gotham Carol such true feelings.

"Yes, because I'm strong. Even in such a disadvantageous situation, I would still choose to escape..."

"Although it may seem unrelated to the current situation, both Jifeng and Xingmu are proud horse girls. If they fail once in their area of ​​expertise, they will be forced to change themselves and give up their advantages..."

The brave dancer took over the conversation and sighed deeply.

"Then their careers as horse girls wouldn't be very impressive, and there wouldn't be any need for any specific tactical targeting, right?"

"Indeed, to be honest, facing the terrifying Grand Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, I was convinced of one thing. If there was only one horse girl in the world who would choose not to change her style and escape, it would be you. Uma girls, after all, are proud creatures."

Even if the current Brave Dancer were to go back to the past and compete in the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix again in her current competitive state, she would still use that method to have a head-to-head competition with Bo Mu Liu Ge.

The reason is very simple, because this is the limit she has reached in the field she is best at. This is her pride and soul. If she gives up such things to run, then the brave dancer will no longer be a brave dancer. Just think about it, she herself cannot accept such a thing.

Uma Musume, there are so-called proud creatures who will risk their souls for something and won't give up even in the face of failure. It's very complicated and contradictory, isn't it?

But at least all the legendary horse girls are like this, without exception in the brave dancer's memory.

If the legendary horse girls were asked to give up their pride in being legends, it would be better for them to just die right away... That was something they had spent almost their entire lives to obtain, and had integrated all of their most beautiful and profound memories into it. Even after death, it would still stand tall throughout the world.

"So, it's not that those two juniors don't know how to choose other ways, but this is the only option."

"They'll only challenge Donna head-on, especially since the Oaks race course is so conducive to a head-on confrontation...!"

Two thousand four hundred meters, this is not an unacceptable track for Donna Jifeng and Xingmu. No matter which horse girl is on this track, their shooting range is within this range. It’s just that Donna has the biggest advantage in comparison, but this itself is not something that would make people retreat.

Also, there is one thing that Gotham Carol hasn't said yet.

Although she did not see Jifeng and Xingmu, there was one thing she could be sure of.

That is, there is definitely a raging fire of revenge burning in the hearts of these two horse girls, so under this premise, preparing for the Oak Tournament is actually a very simple matter.

"You've become quite good at this... Oh, no, actually, you've always been good at it, but maybe your strength has completely overshadowed your talent in this area."

Brave Dancer sighed like this. In fact, she had belittled Gotham Carol's decision-making ability on the field countless times, because Gotham Carol's ability to adapt to circumstances had basically no strengths except seizing opportunities.

But the thing is... her hard power is too strong, and she only needs to be able to seize opportunities to face situations that require a breakthrough. The key is that Gotham Anthem's ability to seize opportunities, or her intuition in this regard, is terrifying to an exaggerated degree.

All in all, Brave Dancer has spoken about Gotham Anthem many, many times in this regard, but this is the only aspect she has spoken about.

In terms of preparation outside of the arena, or in other words, the psychological control of the horse girl competition, Gotham Carol's ability is exaggerated to the point of being a bit scary...

Oh, but it would be nice if Gotham Carol’s psychological grasp of the unexpected events in the horsegirl arena was as strong as it was during the tournament.

The brave dancer was happy.

However, she didn't actually think that Gotham Anthem was difficult to understand other horse girls' feelings outside the arena. It was better to say that it wasn't that she didn't understand, but that she had never thought about it at all, or she didn't think that such a situation would occur.

It's like I lack knowledge of the world of Uma Musume, but I'm very familiar with the psychology of Uma Musume and humans outside of everyday life...

It's a strange, rare and exaggerated specimen, as if Gotham Carol once lived in a world without Uma Musume.

Because of this experience, she can understand the hearts of humans, and can understand the hearts of horse girls who express their determination. However, apart from this, she knows nothing about the details of their daily lives that are completely different from those of humans...

It's really rare and strange.

The brave dancer sighed in her heart. She was deeply aware of the magic of Gotham Anthem in this regard. Then, she recorded all her understanding and wrote it in a booklet.

Gotham Anthem Observation Record is really good, there is never a shortage of updated materials.

Chapter 212: The Glory I Follow for a Lifetime

Oaks Races, Tokyo Racecourse.

How to describe it?

This is also a highly watched competition. After all, it is the annual triple crown competition, so even if there are no famous players, there will be many people paying attention to this competition.

What's more, there are three horse girls who are attracting considerable attention in this year's Oaks Tournament.

Among them, the ones with the lowest attention are all the super popular contestants in previous years!

However, such things are all the same to Gotham Carol now, and what makes her even more speechless is another thing.

So, why is the Oaks race held at the Tokyo Racecourse?!

As we all know, Japan is a country with a very small land area. Then, given its small land area, what is the approximate land price of Tokyo, the only international super first-tier city?

It is something that would give most people a headache upon hearing about it, to the point where they would have no desire to buy it at all. Even Tokyo's unique capsule hotels are occasionally in short supply.

Of course, the reason for this is because Gotham Carol wants to buy a house in Tokyo?

In that case, what does it have to do with the Oak Competition?

Of course, I'm not talking about buying real estate in Tokyo. Although this is not a big problem for Gotham Carol, the real reason for bringing up this topic is -

This is because in Tokyo, where every inch of land is valuable, large luxury hotels are not common, especially when they are located near the Tokyo Racecourse.

Gotham Carol was the first time she accompanied Donna out alone, and it was under such circumstances that she learned a fact that she had never known.

That is, although the event organizer, Ura, will provide each contestant with the top luxury suite for overnight rest and adjustment.

However, such conditions are actually very limited. Generally speaking, they are only enough for contestants to make their choices, and will not allocate more resources to accompanying personnel.

And because he had always gone out with his family before, even if there was no time for him to recognize Mejiro Castle later, the New Universe would take care of it.

So Gotham Carol only found out about this now, and naturally paid the price for this reason.

In simple terms…

Of course there are still rooms, but all the top rooms in the hotel have been rented out, leaving only ordinary rooms to choose from.

There is nothing wrong with Gotham Carol herself. In fact, even if she is used to her current life, there is no problem at all for her to return to a more simple life, let alone if it is only for one night.

But, but...even if she believed this from the bottom of her heart, why did things become so strange?

Sitting on the edge of the bed, watching Donna who was still sorting out the clothes and hanging them up, Gotham Carol's mind was still a little confused.

Just now, when she heard that fact at the front desk, her first reaction was to book a regular room for herself...right?

What happened next?

Later, it seemed that Donna dragged her into the elevator in front of everyone in the lobby on the first floor.

Oh, it turned out that it was Donna who dragged her into the elevator. She thought it was Donna who dragged her into the elevator... No way!!!

Why did Donna drag me into the elevator?!

Gotham Carol felt like she was about to let out a sharp explosion, but for some reason, looking at Donna's back over there, she forced herself to restrain this desire little by little.

It was not until Donna hung up the clothes one by one and turned around that Gotham Carol made up her mind and reached out to call Donna.

"Um, Donna? I should get another room to rest..."

"What are you talking about, Master Trainer?"

Donna frowned, and with just a simple sentence she blocked the suggestion that Gotham Carol had just made. The tall horse girl walked lightly in front of Gotham Carol, pulled a chair over, sat down and started looking at each other.

"You mean, you want me, a logistics horse girl, to live in a luxurious room, and you will accept a room with much worse conditions, right?"

"Yes, that's right, but Donna is a contestant now. Tomorrow..."

The words of Gotham Carol were blocked in her mouth because Donna raised her hand and touched her lips with her finger, and then she looked at her with a threatening look and slightly narrowed eyes.

"Please take back what you said, Trainer."

"But…"

"Please take it back!"

"Gu..."

Gotham Carol couldn't understand why Donna behaved like this, but she didn't say anything for a long time, just stared at Donna.

After a long time, as if realizing that the horse girl in front of him would never admit defeat in such a situation, Gotham Carol sighed softly, then pushed Donna's wrist away, allowing herself to regain the right to speak.

"Then you have to give me a reason why you are so persistent, Donna?"

Is that a reason...? Such a clumsy trainer.

"Because I'm your logistics horse girl."

The logistics horse girl is responsible for all logistical matters of an active horse girl. Generally speaking, this role is held by horse girls who are new to the horse year or have not yet debuted, or by horse girls specializing in logistics. It was at this time that Gotham Carol finally remembered one thing.

It seems that Donna did stay by his side as a logistics horse girl in the beginning...?

But why are you suddenly talking about this at this time?

"Every identity has its own pride, Trainer-sama. Just as I, as a horse girl, must undoubtedly win, so too is Donna, a horse girl in charge of logistics..."

"I won't allow you to suffer any injustice in life, especially because of my mistakes."

Your mistake...?

What mistake did Donna make again? It's really rare.

Gotham Carol couldn't understand it. She really didn't realize what Donna had done wrong that required her to say such words.

"Because, as the logistics manager, I should be the one handling all the travel matters, right?"

…? Speaking of this, Gotham Carol seemed to understand what kind of logic Donna was using.

When the two of them travel together, Donna should be responsible for solving Gotham Carol's accommodation problem. Although the logistics horse girl is usually responsible for this aspect during the competition, that is generally the case.
