Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [11]

Some days passed uneventfully.

Gotham Song's daily routine had grown rather predictable—regular training sessions, running alongside Neo Universe and Oguri Cap, analyzing various racing techniques, and, of course…

Being dragged by Neo Universe to KTV to practice the Winner’s Stage.

She also endured frequent teasing from Sunday Silence, along with Manhattan Cafe’s gentle yet incessant worry.

Her dear cousin might appear aloof and dignified, but deep down she was...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: From Getting Knocked Ten Meters Away [5]

Although they hadn't yet signed an official contract, Kitasan Black had already begun referring to Makoto as "Trainer," arriving at his apartment with a sizable stack of folders and videotapes—the materials he'd asked Tokai Teio for earlier in the afternoon.

Unlike other schools, Tracen Academy gave its student council president considerable authority, allowing them to manage many affairs without seeking approval from the board or principal—including access to internal student and t...

When Tokai Teio made her request, Kitasan Black stared at Yasui Makoto in wide-eyed astonishment.

“Eh—?! Yasui-san training me? I…”

Makoto didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he thoughtfully met Tokai Teio’s gaze.

After a moment, Tokai Teio turned to Kitasan.

“What, you think he’s not good enough?”

“Trainer Yasui may not look much older than you, but he’s unquestionably talented.”

“Passing the Central Trainer Exam at eighteen has n...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: From Getting Knocked Ten Meters Away [3]

A short while later, at a café near the hospital.

“Two honey specials—extra honey in one—and one coffee, please.”

After placing her order, a petite and lively-looking Uma Musume walked over to a window-side table, crossed her arms, and sat down with dignified authority.

Sitting opposite her were Yasui Makoto, calmly indifferent, and Kitasan Black, head lowered guiltily like a child caught misbehaving.

After casting a mildly stern glance at Kitasan Black, the p...

As the Uma Musume named Kitasan Black anxiously apologized, Yasui Makoto couldn't help glancing at the hole she'd torn into the door.

She must've been leaning against it, eavesdropping. The shock from hearing "craniotomy" had been so intense that she ripped off not just the door handle but part of the door itself.

She certainly is reckless, Makoto thought, but more importantly, her raw strength and explosive power are truly remarkable.

Apart from their ears...

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: From Getting Knocked Ten Meters Away [1] & Synopsis

Many years later, holding the Lifetime Achievement Award in his hands, Yasui Makoto would still vividly recall that afternoon—when he was knocked ten meters through the air by an Uma Musume.

At the time, Makoto had only possessed his official trainer license from the Central Academy for a few months. Perhaps due to his obvious lack of experience, he was repeatedly turned down by prospective trainees.

After yet another rejection from an Uma Musume, he was feeling somewhat dazed. ...

Honkai: Star Rail – From the Moment Tom Cat Became My Passenger [55]

When Retsu and Arashi joined forces, it wasn't simply a matter of one riding atop the other. Their attacks became one, amplifying their strength twofold.

“This won’t do—I need to find a way to separate them!”

Compared to her earlier battles against single Guardian Blades, Mei now faced genuine trouble.

Tom, overhearing Mei’s words, scratched his head before casually pulling a lasso out from behind his back.

He threw it leisurely toward the shadowy figures. View Post

As they journeyed toward Owari, endless Nihility-spawned shadows—humanoid and beast-like—blocked their path.

They had gathered here, sensing the presence of Hajime. It was a clash between two Negative World Oathblades, and simultaneously, a trial for Raiden Mei.

These ordinary manifestations of Nihility posed little threat.

However…

A shadowy figure wielding a blazing sword swung casually, releasing a fierce wave of fiery sword energy dire...

The first thought Yevenko had upon seeing Acheron was how the girl before him bore an uncanny resemblance to Raiden Ei. If she changed her hairstyle, the two would be indistinguishable.

His second thought was realizing he’d forgotten to bring Ei with him.

Well, it wasn’t exactly that he’d forgotten—more that he never expected the sudden warp to Izumo.

His original plan had been to rely on his recently revived, childlike luck. He’d assumed he’d quickly draw a luck...

Under the oppressive shadow of the dark sun, the train sailing across the sky blazed a trail of brilliant radiance. Its ethereal, comet-like tail shimmered with the colors of a dreamlike rainbow, dazzling and mesmerizing.

Reflected in Raiden Mei’s eyes, it briefly rekindled something deep within her.

Yet, while Raiden Mei’s perception easily identified it as a train, Nuan beside her lacked that keen vision.

Confused, the girl scratched her tiny head.

Of course, Yevenko was familiar with this planet—it was Acheron’s homeland. But in the current timeline, this planet had already turned into dust and vanished long ago.

Could it be that his Astral Express could pioneer through time itself and return to the past?

Now, that's just unscientific!

Yevenko, Tom's master, couldn’t help but think incredulously.

Staring at the planet, Yevenko furrowed his brow slightly. As far as he knew, the vast darkness envelo...

Before Sunday Silence could even finish her sentence, Gotham Song picked up a pair of scissors and decisively snipped away the offending white strands, leaving only a tiny patch at the root.

Swift and ruthless.

A second earlier, Sunday Silence had been draped over Song's shoulder, wearing a seductive smile like a serpent tempting Eve. Now she stood stunned, utterly dumbfounded.

Gotham Song had discovered something troubling:

Ever since reincarnating, her bed seemed to magically spawn various girls.

For instance, when she finally awoke from deep sleep the next morning, Neo Universe was inexplicably curled up in her arms. Thankfully, both were still wearing pajamas, so at least nothing scandalous had happened.

And then, hovering directly above her head, locking eyes with her, was Manhattan Cafe.

Common sense dictated that the Uma Musum...

To Mejiro McQueen, every day felt colorless and bland.

Even today's victory brought only a fleeting distraction from her boredom.

Having mechanically completed her Winner’s Stage routine, the Mejiro heiress now gazed silently at the night sky on her way home—as if she could somehow peer through the darkness to find the person who constantly occupied her thoughts.

Ruka-nee-san, what are you doing right now?

After watching Mejiro McQueen's performance on the Winner’s Stage, Gotham Song felt a sudden, overwhelming urge to rush straight back to Mejiro Manor and reveal herself immediately.

It was just so foreign. The figure standing on stage felt nothing like the Mejiro McQueen she once knew.

Gotham Song remembered vividly:

The eager little filly who’d leapt into her arms after the Satsuki Sho, promising they'd watch each other’s races—indeed, she’d come to watch, but...

Question: What's it like being tailed by a ghost while you’re out with someone?

Answer: At first, it’s terrifying. After seeing it enough times, you get used to it. Eventually, you might even wave dismissively at the specter hovering around you.

After making plans with Manhattan Cafe, Gotham Song left a note telling Neo Universe where they were going. Not that it mattered much—Neo Universe had probably seen scenarios like this countless times already.

Still, Song left ...

After finalizing their plans, Neo Universe fell deeply asleep.

She was utterly exhausted. Though hugging Gotham Song had eased her mental fatigue, physical exhaustion wasn't so easily remedied. Rather, it was precisely because her mind had finally relaxed that her body lost all strength.

Gotham Song knew exactly what that felt like—

Back at the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, she’d actually still had some strength left just before collapsing. But the moment she realized she...

Back at the dorm.

Only after Gotham Song heard Manhattan Cafe's footsteps fade down the hall did she let herself relax and turn to dive onto her bed.

But the second she clearly saw her room, her expression twisted as if she'd seen a ghost.

The window—the dorm room’s only window—was wide open. That alone wouldn't have been strange, but—

What normal room had a window opening onto a swirling mass of multicolored, luminous patterns instead of an outdoor view?

But revenge could wait until later. Right now, there was something far more important to do—

Lunch, of course! How could you race on an empty stomach?

Twilight Song had long been curious about the legendary Tracen cafeteria.

First, Neo Universe is absolutely trustworthy.

Second, Oguri Cap won't endanger you, but she might drag you into insane competitions.

Third, you're safe around Manhattan Cafe, but you're not necessarily safe around "Manhattan Cafe."

Fourth, Mejiro Ramonu is extremely dangerous.

Fifth, you can ask Symboli Rudolf for help if necessary, but never let her discover your true identity.

Question: When you wake up to find a strange woman lying on top of you through the quilt, what's a normal thought to have?

Anyway, Song’s first reaction was to scream.

But then...

Just before she could, the golden-haired Uma Musume lying atop her suddenly raised a hand to cover her mouth.

As if she'd already predicted this would happen!

This unexpected turn left the pinned Uma Musume filled with shock. But after struggling fiercely to calm herself, her mind fin...

Mejiro Manor’s training grounds had long been empty.

Or rather, when a place was this vast, even frequent visits from one dedicated Uma Musume left no noticeable trace, especially if others rarely came.

But that lack of visitors wasn’t an excuse—not for the steadily growing Mejiro McQueen.

Straight ahead, accelerate fully, no slowing down. Faster, faster…

If Ruka-nee were here, she’d breeze through effortlessly, like she was flying just above the ground.

Rain fell steadily during the Kikuka Sho, as if the Three Goddesses themselves were quietly watching over the race.

Sixteen gates, each with an owner—yet everyone’s eyes lingered on gate number six. Empty, it would remain that way for this year’s Kikuka Sho.

In truth, this race would have no real champion—or rather, everyone already knew who the champion was supposed to be.

After all, this was the Year of Ruka.

Just how legendary had her career been?

One week after URA’s reorganization—

Or rather, after URA had been completely overhauled—Mejiro Ramonu finally returned home. Passing through the gates, she watched Mejiro McQueen silently running on the training field. For a fleeting moment, she thought she glimpsed someone else’s shadow.

They used to run side by side like that. Twilight Song rarely spoke during training, except when giving quiet guidance to McQueen.

Mejiro Ramonu couldn't believe her eyes, but she'd never been one to lie to herself.

She had raced down the straight at her utmost speed, had given everything she had, but in the end, she was still one step too late.

"Honestly, I think you went about this the wrong way."

Azazel frowned slightly, voicing his dissatisfaction. "It's true Indra colluded with the Khaos Brigade, but he's still one of the top ten beings in the world and the head of a major pantheon. Killing someone like him so abruptly without explanation will stir up massive trouble. You should've at least left him alive, so we could formally convict him."

Indra immediately recognized that voice.

After a brief moment of shock, an uncontrollable rage erupted within him.

I ignored your provocation earlier, and yet you dare follow me to my own territory? Do you really think I fear you?

This was a blatant challenge to him, a humiliation directed at Mount Sumeru itself!

I showed you some courtesy, and you dare to trample all over it?!

Indra no longer cared about the consequences of acting impulsively. ...
