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

Chapter 6: Dark Mejiro McQueen

Question: What does it feel like to be followed by a ghost when you go out with others?

A: You may find it scary when you first see it, but you will get used to it after seeing it many times, and you may even be able to wave away the welcome in front of you.

After deciding what to do with Manchester City Tea House, Gotham Carol left a note telling the New Universe what it was going to do, although such a thing might not be necessary - the New Universe might have seen such a development countless times.

But Gotham Carol did it anyway, and then followed Manchester City Tea House out of the school and headed to the tram station.

Second, it is safe around Manchester City Tea House.

That is to say, there shouldn't be any accidents along the way. Thinking of this, Gotham Carol grabbed the corner of his cousin's clothes, and then Manchester City Tea House, who had been stunned for a moment and came to his senses, pinched his hand.

After getting on the tram, Gotham Carol frequently saw a figure appear in front of him since entering such an empty carriage.

Sunday Tranquility, who was wearing a black coat with her long hair loose and spinning a revolver in her hand, even ignored the inquiring eyes of Manchester Tea Party at first, and stared straight at Gotham Ode.

Such behavior should have been very oppressive, but after being watched for more than ten minutes, Gotham Carol had some absurd and bold ideas.

Tell me, can I grab this revolver and shoot myself?

Give it a try sometime.

Gotham Carol looked over to Manchester Tea House, who was still trying to get a response from his "friend."

"By the way, Sister Tea House, your next match is almost here, right?"

Manchester City Tea House nodded. Although her schedule had not been smooth since her debut match, she had finally reached the level where she could participate in the lucrative competitions in the New Year of the Horse.

"Well, I'll go watch the game. Good luck, Teahouse Sister!"

After all, it is an existence that can protect oneself, so it is beneficial to have a good relationship with it no matter what. This is what Gotham Ode thought, while Manchester City Tea House was stunned for a moment before nodding.

"Yes, I will. Carol, you have to work hard in the New Year of the Horse. Also... have you practiced for the winner's stage?"

“Ah, ahahaha…hahahaha…”

Gotham Carol looked away.

Although she came to Japan from the United States, in fact, she seemed to have completed her debut competition a long time ago in this life, and even entered Central Tresen under the name of an expedition to Japan.

Many people may wonder, won’t this restrict their eligibility to participate in the competition?

No, not at all, or even encouraged to participate.

The only people who will be restricted are Japanese horsegirls, but those who are bred abroad, and those who come from overseas completely...

There are no restrictions and even a certain degree of preferential treatment.

This is why Gotham Carol went quite smoothly when it came to Japan for the New Year of the Horse.

Of course, speaking of the winner's stage...

It’s not that Gotham Carol doesn’t want to go;

How should I start? In my previous life, Mu Liuge certainly had physical reasons for not wanting to go on the winner's stage, but the bigger reason was, well.

It's a bit difficult to say.

In fact, Bo Mu Liu Ge, she can't sing or dance at all.

Although both of their voices are very nice and their singing ability should be good, there is one biggest problem.

She really doesn’t know how to do it. It’s just like a math problem. If she doesn’t know how to do it, she just doesn’t know how to do it!

"Can I, can I not go?"

Gotham Ode weakly raised its hand, and was then ruthlessly rejected by Manchester City Tea Party amidst the loud laughter that no one else could hear in the quiet of Sunday.

"But I can't. I really can't do anything!"

Manchester City Tea House showed an expression of surprise. After a little hesitation, she realized that she didn't know anything.

"Carol, can't sing?"

Even the Manchester Tea Room felt something strange amid the quiet laughter on Sunday, like a gust of cold air passing through the non-existent air ducts in a tram.

"Uh, it's okay. I can teach you. I'm...very good at singing."

"Okay, okay... Yeah."

What can I do? Just agree first.

But, Manchester City Tea House... Ogura Yui teaches me to sing? Uh, forget it, since it's necessary, I might as well give it a try. At worst, I can give up later.

The two did not dwell on the topic, but in the eyes of both of them who were unable to hold back and show it, Zhou Ningjing sang and danced properly in the tram car.

But because Gotham Carol, who "had no idea" about this matter, was right next to them, Manchester City Tea House had not figured out how to explain it, and for a while they could only let their friends dance wildly.

So the tram car arrived at the station near the stadium in a happy atmosphere.

After getting off the car, Gotham Carol finally escaped from the hell behind him and grabbed his cousin and left the place at the speed of chasing the winner of Sanzu River.

"Carol... so anxious?"

Forehead…

"Because the game is about to start, right?"

So that's it. Manchester City Tea House felt a little happier. After all, this was a game against strangers. If the day came when she would give out a big reward, Carol might be even more excited.

"Hanshin, the most popular... Mejiro McQueen, the dark lady."

Manchester City Tea House muttered to himself and looked at the display screen above his head, and then his words were heard clearly by Gotham Ode who was shaking his ears.

The most popular one, no problem, the dark lady Megumi McQueen...what does it mean?

Could it be that McQueen only wore black after his debut?

But after asking, no results were obtained. Instead, Zhou Ri Ningjing was muttering in front.

…What do you mean, once the competition starts you’ll know why it’s the dark lady…?

Never mind, it's about to start anyway, so I'll take a good look at what's going on... It can't be that she's too fat and wearing black clothes makes her look thinner, right? If that's the case, I'll have to record it for you, my fat sister!

After crossing the stairs, the green lawn of Hanshin Racecourse appeared in front of them. However, due to the tight schedule, when Gotham Carol and Manchester City Tea House arrived at the front row with the help of Sunday Tranquility, the countdown to the game gate had reached the last digit.

Then, in the next moment, accompanied by the cheers of fans, Gotham Carol finally understood why McQueen was called the Dark Miss.

Her clothes were not much different from the winning clothes in her memory, but in this level, they were actually not as good as her current cousin's - but this was only what the human eye could see.

In other words, it is only visible to human eyes.

When Mebiro McQueen came out of the gate at a sudden speed, Gotham Carol felt that his world view and world outlook had collapsed.

Because from the moment he left the gate, black lines like flowing resentment began to wrap around Mejiro McQueen's body.

This is why Mejiro McQueen is called this - it's not the style of clothing, but the color of the field

It was a pitch-black pressure that only Uma Musume could see.

It's like he's on the road to becoming a tyrant on the field...?

Chapter 7, promise me, don’t do that!

After watching Mejiro McQueen's victory stage, Gotham Carol had the urge to rush to Mejiro Castle to meet him.

It was so unfamiliar. She couldn't imagine that the person on the stage was the Mejiro McQueen she knew.

Gotham Carol still remembers a lot clearly.

The pony pounced after the Gaoyue Sho was over. She had made a promise to watch the game - she had indeed come to watch the game, but as a stranger who had not been recognized.

And there was the little girl who was obsessed with dessert at the birthday party when others were playing tricks on her.

These have nothing to do with the person in front of me.

If the original trajectory of the Uma Musume world had been followed, Mejiro McQueen would never have become like this, so, who was responsible for this?

It's you, the song of dusk, the hymn of Gotham.

We have to find a way to take responsibility.

But in the end, Gotham Carol, who had no idea what to do, didn't do anything inappropriate at the moment, or rather, someone pulled her aside and blocked all possibilities.

New Universe appeared behind the two of them at some point, and shook his head at Gotham Carol.

Then there was a long silence on the way back.

"So, I've done stupid things here many times?"

As soon as he returned to the dormitory and saw off Manchester Tea Party, Gotham Carol couldn't wait to ask his questions.

The new universe was obviously very familiar with its whereabouts on the first day, and it didn't seem like it was the first time it had answered Gotham Carol's question.

But just like every time, she gave the most direct answer, without any impatience or resistance.

Just as Gotham Carol wanted to make amends to Mejiro McQueen, the new universe also wants to make amends to Gotham Carol and then... start anew.

"No matter what you say now, it's useless. If you self-destruct, you will be captured and taken back to Mejiro Castle."

"Is it useless because of something I don't know?"

There must be some special reason. It is actually very strange to say that it is useless if you think about it carefully. Mejiro McQueen's behavior is obviously due to the pursuit of strength, as if he is proving something. In other words.

Mejiro McQueen is obsessed with running prowess or the honor, right?

"Because, before Mejiro McQueen's eyes, there is the Gloomy Song... That's the reason."

"what?"

Gotham Carol didn't know what to say. She just made a quick, short sound and then replayed what she had just heard in her mind.

What does it mean that Mugu Liuge exists before Mejiro McQueen? Someone is cosplaying to steal her sister's money and sex? No, right, right?

New Universe shook her head, then sat on Gotham Carol's bed. The two of them were so close that there was no distance between them that she began to tell the story.

The story is long, but to put it simply, the Gotham Carol of that timeline almost succeeded in destroying Japan's international horse racing business, but when it finally faced Mejiro McQueen, it saw an unexpected figure.

Mejiro McQueen is not running alone on the track. The black stream lingering around her body is her domain, her nightmare, her obsession and her madness.

At the end of the race, when "Gotham Anthem" was no longer hiding and running at full speed, Mejiro McQueen's domain even completely transformed into the appearance of another person.

That was the last moment of the Arc de Triomphe that everyone could see, the twilight song that erupted in the silver-white realm.

Of course, what is different from the silver-white area is the deep black flow band.

Even... this is the second time that the whole world has been shocked, something that can be seen by all humans, and it belongs to the realm of horse girls.

In stark contrast to the silver color that brings hope to the twilight song, there is death and the thick, deep black.

As for the rest, New Universe didn’t have much to say, and she just ended with a sentence from the fake.

【Why why why why why why why why why...! ! ! ! ! !】

【Why did you abandon me! 】

The corner of Gotham Carol's mouth twitched.

What does it mean? Why does it sound like the feeling of love turning into hate because of unrequited love?

And the question "Why did you abandon me" is too weird.

The impact of the incident was so great that Gotham Carol subconsciously ignored the surreal way it unfolded. When she came to her senses, she even found it surprisingly reasonable.

Ningjing danced in front of her for almost an hour on Sunday afternoon.

Not to mention that Phantom Liuge wanted revenge, even if Phantom Liuge's goal was to get back at her, or even something more excessive, Gotham Carol felt that it would not be strange.

This world is definitely not a normal world for ordinary people, Treson? It's broken.

"I see, it seems like we need to take it slow. Thank you, New Universe, but haven't we told this story many times?"

If Phantom Flow Song now occupies Mejiro McQueen, regardless of whether it is his own little sister who uses this as a meal substitute, as a stranger, Gotham Carol will definitely say nothing, so there is only one choice.

Defeat Mejiro McQueen head-on and create a crack in her closed heart, then you will have a chance.

You troublesome stupid sister, I'm sorry I'm late, so... let me correct you.

New Universe nodded, and she moved closer to Gotham Carol before taking a deep breath to calm herself and speaking.

"I hope this is the last time, Liu... Song Ge, can you please promise me one thing?"

Hmm? One thing? Ah, a request from the new universe, and one last time or something.
