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

But speaking of it, Uma Musume's diet is actually very different from that of ordinary humans, even hot pot is very different.

Well, normally, hot pot should have a lot of meat, right? But that's rarely the case at Umamusume gatherings; most of the time, it's just vegetables.

For example, leafy winter melon...and carrots.

Lots of carrots.

There was inevitably some noise and playfulness. After a few people had a hustle and bustle, they put down their bowls and chopsticks, washed them, and then walked out of the house together.

Elly Speed ​​​​Kon, Manchester Tea House, and New Universe, Gotham Carol looked at the people who stayed beside them, and for a moment they were also infected by the festive atmosphere.

The new year is coming, and we will spend another year with the new Ma Musume. It is the classic year, and next year will be the time to officially start implementing the plan.

It's very exciting, isn't it?

Gotham Carol was actually not familiar with how to celebrate the festival in Japan, so the three people around her took her around, and they just played some small games and ate some snacks along the way, and then arrived at the last stop.

A magnificent shrine.

Generally speaking, people come here to pray for blessings and draw fortunes, and Gotham Carol is naturally aware of this culture.

Refers to something that you have seen on TV countless times.

But when she was really about to do it, she still found it quite novel.

It’s one thing to have seen and known something, but it’s another to experience it yourself.

But speaking of it, the biggest obstacle to reaching this shrine is probably the slope that winds up the mountain path along with the torii gate, right?

However, if it was the first Gotham Carol, they might be afraid of such a long mountain trail, but such a distance and the fact that they can move forward slowly are nothing for the horse girls.

Even wearing a kimono and wooden clogs, it didn't take much effort to reach the top, walk across the cobblestone path, and enter the main hall.

Even though there was a long ramp as an obstacle, many guests could still be seen arriving, and a considerable number of them were horse girls in various poses.

Obviously, such a length is a difficult challenge for ordinary humans, but it is generally not a big deal for horse girls.

After hanging up the ema with the wishes written on it, he clapped his hands with the remaining three people and stood in front of the three goddesses to make a New Year's wish.

"I hope everyone is safe."

It’s an ode to Gotham.

“I hope to be able to race on the track again.”

This is Elly Tachyon.

"..."

The one who said goodbye and said nothing is the new universe.

As for Manchester City Tea House, he completed his blessing under the gaze of the remaining three people.

“Hopefully, next year I can compete with Carol on the same field.”

"Carol, I want to participate in the Japan Cup too."

I want to compete with you on the court.

Chapter 40: My child, I leave it to you. (4k)

The New Year is over and the holidays are almost over.

By the time Gotham Carol came to her senses, it was time to go back to school.

how to say?

Her impression of yesterday still remains at the stage after the New Year, when she would lie in bed every day, pretending to be dead and lazy, and then get up after noon to play games.

I never expected this. How come school is about to start when I come to my senses?

In this regard, New Universe also stated that the hymns in every parallel world are like this. Before you realize that the vacation is about to end, it is already time to go back to school.

However, although Uma Musume's school was a high school sports school, there was no such thing as homework at Tresen Central Academy, and daily life was terrifyingly easy.

Gotham Carol has not even been to the classroom a few times in almost half a semester!

Since we are in such an environment, it doesn’t matter whether school starts or not. It’s just a matter of moving from a rented house to a school dormitory.

The house outside is really not as comfortable as the school dormitory!

Because of this, Gotham Carol had no resistance to the start of school and obediently returned to his dormitory on the first day of school.

However, on the last day before school started, Gotham Carol received an invitation that was beyond her expectations.

An invitation to the Student Union Room, symbolized by Rudolph.

Gotham Carol was a little confused about this and didn't know whether she should go for a moment, but the New Universe who "happened" to be next to her expressed her agreement.

Rudolph symbolizes being safe most of the time and that's okay.

With this in mind, Gotham Carol showed up at the door of the student union room an hour after being invited and knocked gently.

"come in."

Rudolph's symbolic voice sounds quite safe.

Compared to the period of Emperor Shiren, the symbol of Rudolf at this time is much less cold and harsh. In fact, it sounds quite gentle.

But even so, it cannot erase her negative impact on Gotham Carol.

You are a bad snitch!

The little pony tiptoed into the room, so lightly that it didn't seem like he was invited, but rather came uninvited.

This gesture was somewhat amusing to Rudolph. She put down the pen in her hand, supported her chin with one hand, and watched Gotham Carol.

Uh... Gotham Carol blushed when she realized that her behavior was quite funny, and then she sat on the sofa with her ears shaking.

However, driven by curiosity, she kept looking around the student union room, which was completely unfamiliar to her.

When she transferred here, the place where Gotham Anthem reported and held meetings was the chairman's meeting room. This was indeed her first time seeing this place.

The Central Tresen Student Union Room is very large, perhaps even a bit exaggeratedly large.

As it was approaching noon, the whole room was very spacious and bright because of the large windows that brought in good light, and the furniture inside.

A display case showing various Central Tresen honors, three surrounding desks, a sofa, and an area separated by an unlocked wooden door, probably a lounge area.

However, what attracts Gotham Carol the most is not these, but the painting and plaque behind the symbol of Rudolph.

This thing should be quite famous in the entire Uma Musume circle.

When one horse takes the lead, all other horses lose their luster.

It is also translated as "The solar eclipse is in the lead, and all horses are dimmed."

It refers to the exaggerated and overwhelming strength of the legendary Shenma Eclipse, which was able to pull out a distance of 2,400 meters to the second place.

But if that were all, Gotham Carol wouldn't actually pay much attention to it. At most, I would just take a closer look at it as if I were seeing the real thing.

What concerned her even more was another line of words beneath the illustration.

"Within three thousand, Liuge comes first."

Forehead…

"Liuge comes first within 3,000? This can't be what she thinks, right?"

Perhaps the look in Gotham Anthem's eyes was too obvious, and Rudolph Symbol noticed the illustration after looking at it, and then he smiled as expected.

Indeed, when she first added content to this illustration, most people who saw it would be surprised, but now think about it.

The last time I saw such an expression was a long time ago.

"Are you surprised by these two sentences?"

"Well... I do know about the solar eclipse, but Liuge...?"

Hey, Rudolph, why is my name on this?

"Indeed, people outside are very unfriendly to the name Bo Mu Liu Ge. It's not because she's not strong enough, but because of all sorts of ridiculous things that have led to this situation today."

Rudolph Symbol is actually very helpless about this matter, but as I said, this is something that the three goddesses can hardly take care of, and she, as Rudolph Symbol, really does not have that ability.

"However, at least among the ponygirls, Bo Mu Liu Ge is actually quite influential. You can see that, right?"

This... is indeed true. Not only can Gotham Carol see the escaped horse girl and the fan support website, but fans of Twilight Flow Song in school can also occasionally catch sight of her.

"But what does this mean...?"

"Within three thousand meters, Liuge comes first. Yes, it means literally, just like above, Dusk Liuge means solar eclipse within three thousand meters."

Rudolf showed a somewhat regretful expression. In fact, such an evaluation was very helpless, because Bo Mu Liuge did not have time to compete in races beyond 3,000 meters. She had no chance to show whether she still had enough strength in a longer distance as in 3,000 meters.

But just based on her exaggerated speed and endurance, as well as her victory over the Brave Dancer at the Arc de Triomphe, there is no doubt that Bo Mu Liu Ge may be the strongest within 3,000 meters in history.

After all, although Eclipse's lead of 2,400 meters may seem exaggerated, the race was 6,600 meters long. It was very likely that by the end Eclipse's opponent had completely lost the ability to run.

And the Dusk Song is indeed completely different——

Being able to lead by more than ten seconds and more than a hundred horse lengths in a race of around 2,000 meters is already a very scary thing.

"I see. Indeed, the song of the dusk-blooming is quite famous abroad..."

Well, how can I describe Gotham Carol’s current mood?

Things have come to this... No, even at the beginning, I couldn't bring myself to say that I felt embarrassed seeing my name on the plaque!

I didn’t expect that you, the Emperor Shiren with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would respect me so much?

Rudolph Symbol sat across from Gotham Carol.

"Okay, I called you here today because I hope you can promise me something."

"What…?"

Rudolph symbolizes what I hope to agree to?

Well, how should I put it, the last thing was to join Central Tresen College, right?

Well, even though Dusk Song didn't do it in the end, Gotham Carol did it. Even if Rudolph Symbol didn't know about it, it can still be considered as not breaking the promise.

Well, I guess so.

"That kid from the Emperor thinks of you as his nemesis, right?"

"Yes, that's what happened."

It would be more accurate to say that the whole country has already known about this from the TV programs.

But Rudolph, did you really call me here because of something related to the Emperor of the East China Sea?

You also said that you two don’t have much relationship, you are just ordinary seniors and juniors!

"Rivals are a very important relationship for Uma Musume. I hope you can fight her seriously enough. Please."

"If it's just something like that, it's fine. It's just what I was supposed to do, right? No problem."

Oh, it turned out to be just like this. Gotham Carol breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Emperor of the East China Sea wants to participate in the competition she wants to participate in, then Gotham Carol will naturally not let him go at all.

Putting aside the question of respect or not, the goal of Gotham Carol must be achieved no matter what, not to mention that there are also Ogurt Hat and his cousin Manchester Tea Party who have already announced their participation.

It is destined that Gotham Carol will not treat every game casually.

This was something that Rudolph the symbol didn't need to be told.

"Um...Also, could you please take care of the emperor's child?"

"President, are you deciding to let me take better care of the Emperor of the East China Sea?"

The corner of Gotham Carol's mouth twitched.

Whether in the past or present as Bo Mu Liu Ge, height has always been a range that makes Gotham Carol a little speechless.

Specifically, she is even obviously shorter than the Emperor of the East China Sea!

When she and her "enemy" were walking outside, maybe she was the one who looked obviously weaker?!

In this situation, she was asked to take better care of the Emperor of the East China Sea?

I always feel like something is a bit too weird, right?

Gotham Carol looked at Rudolph Symbol with an expression that said "are you kidding me?", but found that the emperor's face in front of him was flashing with unprecedented seriousness.
