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

就…

Well, luckily I made it in time for the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival, is that right?

Gotham Carol looked at the lively atmosphere of the surrounding arena.

Maybe it was because Mejiro McQueen announced that he would not participate in the competition, the number of spectators was actually much smaller than expected, but the cheers were just as loud.

Those fanatical local chefs who were clamoring for the white garlic McQueen were shouting at the top of their lungs, as if this could show their courage.

No bro, this isn't America. I'm the king of Gotham, but you guys act like clowns.

Gotham Carol put on a playful smile before turning his gaze towards the arena.

Scream, cry, struggle.

Then you will cry bitterly. I really hope to see you so energetic at next year's chrysanthemum viewing event.

If only that were the way to bounce back after failure.

In this case, if I break your spine again, you will never be able to stand up again, right?

Gotham Carol thought about it and raised the cheering flag for her cousin. Manchester City Tea House had been very good to her no matter what. What should she do now?

Of course, I sincerely hope that Manchester City Tea House can win the chrysanthemum viewing this time?

Because next year, the horse racing atmosphere in Japan will probably change drastically, right?

Under the frightened gaze of Alisako, Gotham Carol relied on the endurance of Uma Musume and suddenly waved the flag of Manchester Tea House.

"Go to Manchester City Tea House and smash them to pieces!"

To be honest, although it was far away, Ning Jing saw the Manchester City teahouse on Sunday and her face, which was expressionless most of the time, twitched suddenly.

It’s fun, it’s you little girl, Carol.

I seem to like you more and more.

Chapter 27, I will protect you, Carol

However, Gotham Carol naturally didn't know what Sunday Ningjing was thinking. She just waved the flag vigorously and watched her cousin rush through the checkpoint with enthusiasm.

And it was at this moment that Manchester City Tea House completely bid farewell to the unknown Ma Musume.

She became the glorious Chrysanthemum Horse Girl, an honor that many horse girls dream of.

Of course, this might not be a big deal in the eyes of Gotham Carol, but that's based on the fact that she has already received enough honors.

For Uma Musume, let alone winning a G1 race, even a commemorative medal from an OP event might be treasured to the point that they would smile when they think of it many years later.

Gotham Ode is now truly happy for Manchester City Tea Party, and it is rare that Sunday Tranquility does not cause any trouble at this time.

Perhaps it was because she also knew how difficult it was for Uma Musume to obtain such an honor, and how important it was to Manchester City Tea House.

But, there is another person on the other side who doesn't mind such things at all.

Elise was shouting something loudly at the Manchester Tea House. This abnormal behavior made Gotham Carol drop its ears and look away.

After enjoying the cheers from the entire stadium, Manchester City Tea House returned to the players' lounge to prepare.

What kind of content are you preparing?

For the first time, Gotham Carol saw her cousin wearing her victory suit on the winner's stage.

Well, how to describe it?

You'd better not even think about teaching me about the winner's stage, right?

Gotham Carol just can't dance or sing, but that doesn't stop her from being able to capture something sensitively.

My cousin looked cold and silent, but as she sang for longer, her style gradually changed.

Well, how to describe it?

It sounds like a cute and petite one... Yui Ogura, get out of my cousin's body!

Gotham Ode even feels that in terms of the winner's stage, Manchester City Tea House's teaching may not be as good as Sunday Tranquility!

At least the old guy has quite rich stage experience as the King of Horses, while his sister's singing relies entirely on her voice.

Perhaps sensing this mood, Sunday Tranquility suddenly lay down behind her Gotham Anthem, and blew a breath of cool air into her dark velvet ears, which had no physical effect.

"I thought I heard you thinking about me...?"

How can you, a ghost, read minds?!

Gotham Carol was so embarrassed and angry that she wanted to respond directly. Her body was too sensitive. When she realized that Zhou Ri Ning Jing was doing something naughty to her ears, Gotham Carol subconsciously shook her ears.

"Don't move, little idiot. Listen carefully, someone is watching you now."

Sunday Ningjing's voice was very low, a complete change from her usual carefree and unrestrained state, as if if her voice was any louder, others would hear it.

But who else but a man who can see ghosts can hear the sounds of Sunday silence?

Who on earth would have such a possibility?

"who is it?"

"A little guy next to a light purple ponygirl... Oh, looks like someone you know."

The horse girl I know, with light purple hair?

Who else could it be?

And then there's the added condition of being able to detect ghosts.

Mejiro McQueen and Phantom Liuge?

"Go meet them?"

Sunday Tranquility asked Gotham Carol what she thought, but the response she got was a small shake of the head.

It's not the right time yet, and New Universe said that if Phantom Liuge gets close enough, he might be able to see through her physical covering.

He immediately realized that Gotham Carol was the reincarnation of Dusk Song.

It's far from the right time.

"Oh, but it seems you have to see it even if you don't."

"Why…?"

Sunday Serenity grinned as she hugged Gotham Carol's body tightly before moving around to press her lips against the pony's.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a little thing. I will protect you."

Uh? What?

Gotham Carol's eyes widened in surprise, but as his heart continued to beat, Sunday Tranquility suddenly disappeared from the spot, but at the same time...

The world in front of Gotham Carol suddenly became dim for a moment.

But it was only fleeting, and when I recovered, I found that nothing had changed...

The only difference is that Sunday tranquility has completely disappeared.

"I told you, don't be nervous, little one. They're behind you. Just breathe. Nothing bad will happen."

Sunday Tranquility paused for a moment, and at the same time, Gotham Carol felt a warm body clinging to her from behind, protecting her from the prying eyes of the outside world.

Sunday was quiet, she said finally.

[You are safe by my side. I will always protect you. ]

What? You’re saying such sentimental and corny things... You want to win the Sanzu River Sakura too?

Gotham Carol took a deep breath and then turned around as if nothing had happened.

Mejiro McQueen's figure was clearly reflected in her retina, but there was also another completely unfamiliar existence that appeared.

Gotham Carol clearly saw "another self."

This is actually not quite accurate. It should be said that I met the only Bo Mu Liuge who still exists in this world.

She looks no different from her previous self, except that she can float in the air like Sunday Serenity. The biggest difference is probably her hair.

There are a few obvious highlights on the bangs of "Dusk Liuge", which are the same color as Mejiro McQueen.

This is truly a memorable first encounter... But fortunately, Gotham Carol doesn't feel any uneasiness now.

Because the warmth coming from behind Sunday Ningjing is much stronger than the cold gaze staring at him in front of him.

"You are... Miss Gotham Carol, right?"

Mebai McQueen spoke softly, her voice a little hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time.

"I'm... Miss Mejiro McQueen, right?"

Gotham Carol was still a little unfamiliar with this title for a while, but she still played her current role well.

She's just a random horse girl who doesn't have much to do with Mejiro McQueen.

"I'm here to congratulate Miss Manchester Tea House, but it's not very convenient to meet in person. But I have a message that I want you to convey, is that okay?"

"certainly…?"

Mejiro McQueen's expression was serious, and it was obvious that what he was going to say next was very important.

"I hope you can tell Miss Manchester Tea House that since you have won the Chrysanthemum Award, please run even harder."

"Don't disgrace the honor and status of this victory."

Chapter 28, Who says this is not love.

Mejiro McQueen was on his way back.

And Huan Ying Liuge was floating beside her as usual, making some inexplicable noises from time to time to interrupt "his sister's contemplation".

"So, Phantom, didn't you sense it in that direction, but in the end, nothing happened?"

"Yeah, there's nothing I can do. I was completely blocked. I couldn't feel anything for a moment. Just from this point of view, we have met our match, right?"

Mejiro McQueen just announced that she would not attend the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival, but in fact, she has watched every Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival seriously over the years until today, and she thinks about the same thing every time.

How would Sister Liuge react if she faced this game?

This is the most direct reason why Mejiro McQueen is unwilling to participate in the Chrysanthemum Viewing.

The image of Bo Mu Liu Ge in her mind can only be described in two words.

Invincible.

In an absolute sense, there is absolutely no opponent in the arena. Sister Liuge is the first one who can make ordinary humans confirm the existence of the domain with the naked eye!

This is one of the reasons why Bo Mu Liu Ge’s position in the international arena is unshakable.

The so-called fields in the past were just special skills that the horse girls could see in front of their eyes.

Even if humans firmly believe that the domain really exists, even if trainers really want to consider the domain in their tactics and build plans around it...

If you can’t see it, you can’t see it!

The field has always been regarded by the human horse girl research community as something that "probably exists, but is difficult to confirm."

This is comparable to Bo Mu Liu Ge's terrifying record, and it is a huge contribution that has brought real improvement to the Uma Musume career.

In short, Sister Liuge, who has achieved such great success and swept almost all of the most prestigious classic annual competitions in the world, is of great importance in the eyes of Mejiro McQueen.

It was so heavyweight that even Mejiro McQueen couldn't muster up the courage to fight against the sister he had built up in his mind for so many years at the Chrysanthemum Festival.

Of course, you could also say...

Mebiro McQueen wants to protect the real Bo Mu Liu Ge in her mind - if she can defeat her sister, doesn't that mean that sister Liu Ge is not invincible and can be surpassed?

A mixture of such complicated reasons is the fundamental reason why Mejiro McQueen refused to go out to appreciate the chrysanthemums. Of course, it all comes down to the song of dusk.

This is definitely not the Phantom Liuge in front of you. She can't be the sister you are familiar with. Mubai McQueen, don't be weak.

"Really? Then you've really met your match. So, how are you going to verify it?"

"Since we were able to sense it at the beginning, that means the other party shouldn't have been maintaining this kind of defense all the time. Of course, it could also be a situation similar to ours."

Phantom Liuge appeared to be calm, her petite body jumping up and down beside Mejiro McQueen, obviously not worried at all about what had just happened.

"Besides, if you don't dare to respond, isn't that a sign of weakness, or a lack of confidence?"
