The Gotham Stakes.
This wasn't exactly a well-known race—at least, within the Uma Musume world, it remained relatively obscure.
If it weren't for Twilight Song’s memories from her previous life giving the name "Gotham" a strangely familiar feeling, she probably wouldn't have paid it any special attention either.
Though, now that she thought about it, Gotham’s real-world equivalent was New York, so that made perfect sense.
Of course, despite being somewhat unknown...

No, no. This line of thinking was far too bizarre. Dwelling on it would only lead to increasingly absurd conclusions.
For instance, things like running being entirely pointless—or that every kind of Uma Musume competition was somehow a Derby.
Or worse yet—love itself was a Derby!
Why am I even thinking about these useless things? Brain, I command you—stop thinking nonsense!
Twilight Song rose abruptly from the bed, snapped the newspaper shut, folded it neatly, an...

The Kyodo News Hai—a race that's honestly not all that famous.
At least, not one that holds any particular sentiment or memorable stories. Not for Twilight Song, anyway.
Yet, it was the next race Twilight Song needed to conquer.
The newbie tutorial lady had thoughtfully set things up. Twilight Song had transmigrated to this world near the end of December, meaning after her debut and the passing of the New Year, she smoothly entered the new racing season—making her eligib...

The blazing sun scorched the earth relentlessly.
The weather had grown increasingly stifling, prompting more students at the academy to switch to short-sleeved summer uniforms. Jeanne Alter clearly sensed that the boys in this school had become increasingly restless.
Some had even dared to attempt peeking at her changing. Naturally, they failed miserably, getting caught red-handed and thoroughly beaten.
She wielded a bamboo sword infused with mana—leaving no visible marks,...

“About what you said just now... could you give me more details?”
“The real cause of God's death, and... the disaster that severely wounded him.”
Azazel’s casual smile vanished, replaced by seriousness. The atmosphere tightened, and the air itself seemed to stagnate.
But Jeanne Alter only glared at him, disdainfully rolling her eyes.
“Hah? How should I know? I've never even seen God's face, so how could I possibly know such details? You’re the ones who pe...

God is dead.
While Rias, Koneko, and the other devils were shocked by this revelation, they didn’t have any deeper reaction. After all, the Biblical God was essentially their enemy. There was no need to mourn a foe’s death.
Kiba Yuuto smiled bitterly. He had been a victim of the Church’s Holy Sword Project before escaping and being saved by Rias. Compared to God, he valued Rias far more now, feeling only regret for his fallen comrades.
But for devoted believers like Xe...

Kokabiel radiated malice—his hatred directed toward devils, the Church, and Azazel, the coward obsessed with his [Sacred Gear] experiments who constantly refused to wage war.
Just a single glance from him was enough to freeze Kiba Yuuto completely in place, the icy chill of dread penetrating his bones.
The sweat on the hand gripping his Holy-Demonic Sword grew slippery. He had never trembled this badly before.
So this is the overwhelming presence of a ...

The sudden intruder wore pure-white armor embedded with gem-like spheres, his face entirely concealed beneath the imposing helmet.
Eight wings of radiant light sprouted from his back, exuding an almost sacred brilliance.
A powerful dragonic aura surged from his body.
A white dragon in human form—this was exactly the impression he gave.
Yet at this moment, he was utterly stunned. Even with his face hidden beneath the helmet, the profound shock emanating from him was e...

Above the entrance to the hot spring inn hung a plaque labeled Izumi-yu. A simple wooden fence surrounded the area, and perhaps due to the fearsome reputation of "Lord Thunderbolt," there wasn't another soul nearby.
Makoto sat blankly on a bench outside the inn, gazing out at the vast, desolate landscape of Rukongai.
He’d changed into fresh clothes—a black shihakushō layered over a white undergarment, with brand-new straw sandals on his feet. His previous ragged clothing, tho...

Cold. Trembling.
An oppressive feeling constricted Makoto’s chest, as though something heavy was tightly wrapped around him. His body was immersed in a slippery, viscous liquid, giving him a suffocating sensation he couldn’t quite describe.
Makoto gradually regained consciousness.
Until finally, his eyes snapped open.
An unfamiliar—

“Not bad!”
“You’re really not bad at all!”
Unohana Yachiru stared at the young man in front of her, her normally cold and gloomy eyes finally looking at Fujimiya Makoto as though he were truly alive.
Still holding that finger-length dagger, she praised him in a tone that could almost pass as admiration.

Damn it!
When Makoto first saw the white haori, he’d thought she was someone from the Gotei 13, recruiting cannon fodder. He’d believed he could finally escape this damned place.
But it turns out, she's another killer from Zaraki?
Fujimiya Makoto narrowed his eyes, his thin frame bending forward. His right hand gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, like a cat bristling with hostility, locked in confrontation with the long-haired woman before him.
He’d been reinc...

Just as Sabrina was about to ruthlessly expose August—
Meray and Hoopa, however, completely believed August’s current performance. Meray’s face was full of anxiety, while Hoopa nervously clutched her clothes, gulping fearfully.
Noticing he couldn't fool Sabrina, August decisively turned his menacing act toward Meray and Hoopa, adopting a fierce expression.

Terrified, Hoopa cried out instinctively. In its panic, Hoopa threw out one of its rings.

Savior?
When Baraz heard his sister declare the person before him a "savior," his immediate thought was that she had been deceived.
What kind of real savior would openly claim to be one?
Especially one who was currently holding Hoopa captive!
His sister had definitely been tricked!
Without hesitation, Baraz released his Solrock and shielded Meray behind him.
"Let go of Hoopa!"
Seeing Baraz’s cautious stance, August was genuinely baffled. Turning to ...

Although August never explicitly said he bought the ice cream for Mew, in Mew's mind, anything August bought belonged to her anyway.

But seeing August was unfazed, Sabrina shook her head again. Perhaps she'd imagined it?

When the group arrived by boat at the central platform in the sea, they finally saw what stood in the middle of it.
It appeared to be a tall, imposing figure, holding a massive sword, yet now it knelt motionless on the platform.

“Even though I didn’t pull any useful weapons… oh well, at least I got to revisit some childhood memories.”
Jia Changjiang waved dismissively, ignoring the fact that he had no immediate use for anything he'd just drawn.

Jia Changjiang woke very early.
Through the open window, he could hear Jean practicing swordplay outside.
Placing his hand on the wall, he faintly heard Barbara softly singing in her room further away.

On the mist-covered ocean, cheerful singing pierced through the thick fog, echoing joyously over the waves.

"Absorbent and yellow and porous is he!"

At that moment, Dvalin had left Jia Changjiang, Lumine, and the others on a small island. Although thick mist surrounded them, they could still vaguely discern the vast ocean beyond.

But her voice was quickly swallowed by the roaring waves, with only scattered echoes returning, broken up by the crashing tides.

Immediately afterward, with a flash of lightning, a girl materialized out of thin air, while the raven stepped aside gracefully.
