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

In fact, Gotham Carol has thought about how to return to Mejiro Castle many times, and she has asked New Universe more than once about the current situation of the Mejiro family.

But this question has not been well answered.

The New Universe said that if Carol knew about it now, something very bad would happen, so she couldn't tell him.

This means that all ideas for Gotham Carol remain in the conceptual stage, but without knowing the specific situation, any advance ideas are meaningless, right?

So over time, Gotham Anthem had to put this idea on hold temporarily, and then devote himself to preparing for the plan he was going to carry out, paying attention to more follow-up of Mejiro McQueen, and occasionally looking for some news on the Internet that might be related to the current situation of the Mejiro family.

But the threshold had little effect - and now, maybe there will be unexpected progress?

Well, Aldan-san should be the easiest person to communicate with in the Mejiro family right now, if we are talking as a stranger.

I have to say, the Mejiro family is actually quite xenophobic in a sense...?

Thinking so, Gotham Carol walked over and sat next to Aldan Mejiro. She ordered a cup of exactly the same coffee, and then met those gentle eyes that flashed with doubt.

"If it's so hard, it won't be easy to adapt, right?"

"It's okay, I'm a horse girl from America."

I see, Mejiro Aldan nodded - generally speaking, not everyone can tolerate American coffee without sugar. She made this choice because the little pony in the past could not stand it at all. Occasionally, when she drank it, she would show a very cute expression.

So when he has free time and doesn't know what to do, Aldan Mejiro always chooses this kind of coffee, and then sits here for a while watching the young children bustling about.

It was as if I was seeing a phantom in my memory through these equally immature girls.

But what she didn't know was that Gotham Carol was already sweating profusely.

Oh no, I was just thinking about getting a cup of coffee like Aldan's. How come Aldan occasionally drinks unsweetened Americano? Is your taste buds fixed?!

Gotham Carol pouted in what she thought was a very subtle way, causing Aldan to laugh. With an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, she stood up and got two packets of candy from the waiter before returning to her original seat.

"Can you tell me your name? You really seem familiar to me."

"Ah, as for my name, Gotham Carol. Just call me Carol."

Mejiro Aldan nodded. She looked at the foal in front of her without any concealment and sighed in her heart for a moment.

If she hadn't known it was impossible, she might have mistaken him. They looked too similar. If only the hair color was the same, then it must be the person she had been thinking about day and night...

Not only do they look very similar, but even their aura is almost exactly the same. This is true.

However, the people of the Mejiro family generally do not have the habit of self-deception, and even despise it. Mejiro Aldan, who completely gave up his fantasy, just had a simple conversation with Gotham Carol until the Pony's coffee was delivered.

Obviously, Gotham Carol is actually somewhat different in comparison, as she is even less willing to hide her inner feelings, so that her obvious fear of unsweetened Americana can be seen at a glance.

At that time, Bo Mu Liuge had almost drunk half of the drink before he twisted his face and stuck out his tongue... Sure enough, he is not the same person.

Thinking this, Aldan took out the sugar packet before the foal mustered up the courage to drink it.

"Don't force yourself. It's true that you need to add sugar to make it more palatable... I added it too, actually?"

Chapter 12: The so-called Uma Musume’s awakening!

In the end, Gotham Carol was defeated and exchanged contact information with Aldan Mejiro, and then returned to their own lives.

This is a more normal thing, right? Although Gotham Carol knows Aldan Mejiro, the relationship between them is now naturally strangers. If they become too close from the beginning, it would be quite strange no matter how you think about it.

However, during the conversation just now, Aldan Mejiro said something very strange, which is that she now lives in the dormitory of Tresen Central College, not in Mejiro City.

This is very abnormal, right? The Mejiro family all lives in Mejiro Castle. Even if there are dormitories in the school, most of the time they are empty instead of living in the school.

What happened that made Sister Aldan live in school instead of in Mejiro Castle?

I'm afraid this happened because of some extremely serious conflict.

Gotham Carol is not stupid, and she will not do anything to deceive herself or escape. The reason for this development can actually be guessed if you think about it - why would Aldan have a conflict with other people in Mejiro Castle?

There's basically only one possibility.

Because he helped conceal the fact that Bo Mu Liuge was ill.

My physical condition in my previous life should have been fully exposed during the physical examination. It was Sister Aldan who helped stabilize everything, um... to be more precise.

Maybe it was even Sister Aldan who helped her get a second life and the possibility of standing here again.

So, no matter what, she had to find a way to get Sister Aldan back to Mejiro Castle.

However, this is indeed something that needs to be considered in the long run. The guide given by the new universe said that if you don't mention the Arc de Triomphe in front of Sister Aldan, nothing will happen, but Mejiro Peak...

Pure and extremely dangerous!

We can only take it slowly.

Gotham Carol looked at the new contact on his phone and suddenly had some other ideas.

Well, although helping Altan-san return to Mejiro Castle will have to wait, but before returning to Mejiro Castle, I had played with Altan-san to keep her in a good mood, which is also an option, right?

Well, I just want to say something inappropriate.

Sorry, Sister Gao Feng, I have to wait a little longer before I can come back to see you.

In short, it was under such circumstances that Gotham Carol began her first New Year of the Horse.

In March, OP entered the game, chased hard, controlled the points and pushed the line, and had a head difference.

In mid-March, OP entered the game, chased the opponent, controlled the score and pressed the line, and the lead was poor...

Throughout March, Gotham Anthem didn't do anything too out of the ordinary. They just hid their edge properly and won the bounties of two OP events with quite unnoticeable results.

The rest of the free time is basically spent running around with Oguruma and overeating, discussing the next action plan with New Universe, keeping in touch with Manchester City Tea House and Altan Mejiro, occasionally messing with Sunday Tranquility, and then being messed around with Airi Hayabusa.

There was no way. Gotham Carol had no way to deal with this guy who had not yet become a mad scientist - all her behavioral logic was strictly restrained. If her cousin had not occasionally slapped her roommate to the ground to protect her cousin's dignity that was about to be lost with her anxious cheeks, Gotham Carol might have lost even more miserably.

However, all such happy daily routines have a clear dividing line.

March passed and April came. Gotham Carol only won one OP event in the first half of the month, and then had no plans to continue. The purpose of her doing this was just to accumulate a certain amount of bounty so that she could participate in the Chrysanthemum Award in her classic year.

Well, after all... it was the only championship that I didn't win in my previous life. Even if I won, others probably wouldn't know that Twilight Flow Song was no longer the Phantom Japanese Triple Crown. But let's just take it as self-satisfaction. This is still Gotham Carol's plan.

So when the bounty on the new horse girl was enough, Gotham Carol had more time to do other things.

For example, go watch this year's Gaoyueshang.

Or occasionally observe the randomly refreshed East China Sea Emperor that you see passing by at school.

But Gotham Carol didn't have any intention of making close friends with him, especially since for some reason the probability of Rudolph's symbol appearing around the Emperor of the East China Sea was frighteningly higher than expected.

Almost all the time... Isn't this a little too strange? Even if Miss Rudolph is optimistic about the East Sea Emperor, this kind of thing is obviously a bit... overprotective, as if you're afraid something might happen to the East Sea Emperor?

Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. I’ve gotten used to seeing Gotham odes so many times, and I don’t pay attention to it anymore.

On April 20th, the Gaoyue Awards was held, but to the regret of the people that year, the dark lady Mejiro McQueen was absent due to illness, and what made Gotham Carol a little regretful personally was that his cousin Manchester Tea House was unable to attend the Gaoyue Awards.

Well... it's a bit funny. She couldn't participate because the bounty was not enough, so the two cousins ​​had to sit in the audience together.

Gotham Ode looked provocatively at Sunday Tranquility, who was drifting around a bit irritably, and then clearly conveyed his meaning.

Sunday tranquility, is it because you played poorly this time?

Obviously, the black ghost was furious, but she could do nothing in front of the socket. She took a deep breath and disappeared on the spot, as if a ghost would be suffocated by anger.

But why are the cousins ​​here?

It's very simple, because there are acquaintances among the contestants this time.

The first match of the Triple Crown in the Ellyhaku Classic Year, Gaoyue Sho.

The Phantom Triple Crown Horse. Should I say that it can be called the Phantom Triple Crown? In fact, Airi Soko is also the favorite to win the championship, and even the undisputed number one in popularity, and the result of the competition is indeed so.

She won a resounding victory, but under the worried gaze of Gotham Carol, the most terrible thing happened.

Miracles don't happen every time, but they didn't happen to Airi Hayako. After winning, she was sent to the hospital without even having the chance to perform on the winner's stage.

Of course, Tea House's cousins ​​visited first, but when Tea House was sent out by Elly Speedko and only she and Gotham Carol were left in the ward, Elly Speedko, who had already seen clearly what kind of person her predecessor was, put away her sadness.

"So, you've been hesitating to talk to me for a long time, right?"

I've been seen through. Gotham Carol has actually been hesitating until now. Should I tell Ally Speedy earlier about the possibility of her getting the Phantom Triple Crown? Will it be too late...?

"Sister Hayako, tell me, if someone had told you earlier that this would happen, would you still have burned yourself at the Gaoyue Award?"

Really? That's nonsense! This is a no-brainer.

"Of course I will. In fact, I should give it my all."

"Even if it means losing my career...?"

"I won't believe something that didn't happen, and Carol, you have to remember this."

Airi Hayabusa looked at the ceiling. It was indeed sad to lose her career, but even so, she would not regret her decision.

"If you're afraid of failure, you shouldn't be called a horse girl... When Miss Twilight Ryuka participated in the Arc de Triomphe, did she really not realize that she might die on the field?"

"But she won beautifully all the same."

Chapter 13: You, the president, are such a stranger to me!

As a result, after being taught a lesson by Alisako using her own example, Gotham Carol finally reluctantly stopped dwelling on the matter.

Obviously, she should have more experience in this kind of thing, right? It's not nice to compare misery, but it's true that Bo Mu Liuge entered the arena with the determination to die.

Of course, such words could not be said out loud. After returning from the Manchester tea party, the cousins ​​ended the visit and walked home together.

It was rare that Sunday Tranquility's atmosphere turned silent, but this was understandable. As a real ghost and someone who had a real near-death experience, Sunday Tranquility might have been more touched by Ellie's words - when she was talking to Gotham Carol just now, the black ghost was floating above their heads.

After returning to the dormitory and saying goodbye to Manchester Tea House again, the long-awaited New Universe came over and helped Gotham Carol take his pajamas.

"Alita: There's no way to run anymore?"

"Well, is this inevitable?"

New Universe paused and shook his head.

"If you're saying it's inevitable after the Gaoyue Sho, then no, but it's almost certain that Airi Hayabusa won't be able to run... She really does burn herself out in every race."

In other words, most of the horse girls who have made up their minds will not easily accept their failure. They will pursue victory even if it means burning themselves and risking their lives. This is obvious.

What else could Gotham Ode say about the horse racing women's awakening? After washing up, she returned to her bed and was about to fall asleep in a daze.

"By the way, Carol...if you're going out for a morning run tomorrow, remember to take care of your hair."

Going out for a morning run? That shouldn't be the case. Although Gotham Carol has indeed worked a lot, not getting up early is something she loves most in her life.

But since New Universe has said so, let’s just agree to it.

Gotham Carol hummed softly in a daze, then tried to fall asleep.

New Universe didn't say much. Today, she rarely tried to get into Gotham Carol's bed. Instead, she returned to her own bed and curled up in a ball.

However, Gotham Carol rarely slept all night. She just tried to fall asleep in a daze, but failed every time.

After struggling with the quilt all night in vain, Gotham Carol came to her senses and found that the sunlight outside was shining obliquely on her face - she and New Universe had forgotten to draw the curtains!

Gotham Carol climbed out of bed and sat up straight, yawned loudly, then looked at the still sleeping new universe and suddenly had a bold idea.

How about going for a morning run?

Gotham Carol thought she must have gone crazy, so much so that when she came to her senses and was about to leave the room, she didn't even remember washing herself!

But in the end, the foal, wearing sportswear, returned to the bathroom.

Since Xin Yuzhou reminded her that she should pay attention to her hair if she goes for a morning run, it would always be right to be obedient.

Sure enough, a few more strands of white hair have emerged, lurking in places that are not easily overlooked.

Thank you, New Universe.

Gotham Carol, who eliminated this safety hazard with a flick of her scissors, became somewhat more sober and began to wonder why New Universe gave such instructions.

Is it because of who she will meet...? Who will it be?

Since she reacts to hair color, it can't be Aldane-san... or is it something even scarier, like Mejiro-gamine's sudden attack?

I can't...

While thinking about all sorts of things, he went downstairs and ran along the path in the woods towards the grassland he was most familiar with. Gotham Carol quickly found the blind spot.

New Universe just asked her to get a haircut, not that she couldn't go, which means there's no danger at all, so just think about it when you see people.

As he stepped into the grassland, Gotham Carol, who had not yet started running, froze in his expression.

Oh, the Emperor of the East China Sea is also doing morning exercises...
