Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [205]

Unsolvable problems will remain unsolved even after ten thousand years of thinking. Without the right spark, you’ll never find an answer—and honestly, if you’ve spent thirty minutes, a day, two days, and still can’t make sense of it, maybe that’s simply because it isn’t something you can solve right now, isn’t it?

In short, Gotham Song could do nothing to offer Secretariat any real help with that matter. After being dropped off at home, she didn’t bother to think about i...

New York International Airport.

After who knows how long since leaving America, Gotham Song had suddenly returned again.

How should one describe this situation?

If you told someone, "I need to take a trip abroad," normally they'd assume you had something incredibly important to do, right?

And if you told them you were traveling overseas just to visit a certain anime convention, they’d probably still support you—assuming, without a second thought, that it must be so...

In short, the farce finally ended completely, even though Satono Diamond ultimately followed Gotham Song back to Mejiro Manor—

But Mejiro Ramonu descended like a goddess from above, immediately and indisputably sending both Satono Diamond and Vernal Equinox straight back to their rooms.

This development almost brought Gotham Song to tears of gratitude, and then—and then...

And then, what exactly happened after that?

It was indeed true that Satono Diamond and Vernal...

For some reason, it felt like something was definitely about to happen between Vernal Equinox and Satono Diamond…

Was it just my imagination?

From the moment Satono Diamond announced she wouldn’t attend today’s Winner’s Concert, up to the point the four Uma Musume had left the racetrack and begun enjoying the afternoon, about an hour or two had passed.

How to describe what happened during these one or two hours?

Simply put…Satono Diamond and Vernal Equinox’...

When the sky had barely brightened the next day, Gotham Song found herself unable to sleep at all.

Why?

Probably because Vernal Equinox had hugged her a bit too forcefully in her sleep? Anyway, Gotham Song woke up very early, and after waiting patiently until Mejiro Manor slowly stirred awake as well, finally set her feet on the ground and started to wash up and change, preparing for today's agenda.

Going to watch Satono Diamond's race, huh… Honestly speaking, this really ...

Eventually, Van Gogh fell silent on the other end of the phone.

Or perhaps, after hearing Gotham Song’s encouragement, she gradually understood exactly what she needed to do next—and then, as if suddenly finding her strength again, she gave her reply:

“I’m going to keep on running! It doesn’t matter if I’m an idiot or not. In fact, isn’t it better for idiots to not care about failing? Hehe.”

All Gotham Song could think was that it was a very idiot-like respon...

“Who does Song think will win?”

“Ah…who will win, huh? That’s really a tricky question to answer.”

When the two of them watched the race, naturally there wasn't any tension at all. Not because Gotham Song didn't care about Van Gogh or Haya of Stars; rather, watching through the television instead of being at the track itself genuinely diminished the tension, leaving a relaxed atmosphere.

Even so, Gotham Song wasn’t an ordinary racing fan. As a legendary Uma Mus...

Symboli Rudolf seemed utterly unsurprised by Gotham Song’s answer. She didn't say anything more, casually shifting the conversation to unrelated topics after receiving that reply.

Then, Gotham Song and Neo Universe said goodbye to Symboli Rudolf and Tokai Teio, returning to their ordinary day.

Of course, Tokai Teio had really wanted to tag along with Gotham Song, but—

Though Tokai Teio was already in her senior year, as a student she still had academic classes she couldn...

The path to saving the world was astonishingly simple…

Alright, upon stepping into Snack Street, Gotham Song realized with deep regret that she'd arrived too late.

All the familiar shop signs along the street had changed, entirely replaced by names Gotham Song had never seen before.

Well… specifically, she meant the buffet restaurants, not all the eateries.

After all, no matter how mature Uma Musume might appear, they never mistreated themselves when it came to foo...

Gentildonna’s Winner’s Concert was terrifyingly successful. Actually, it wasn't until Gotham Song had watched the whole performance that she fully realized something.

Gentildonna, coming from such a prestigious lineage, seemed to be adept at all sorts of dances. Or rather, she had simply poured enough hard work into it. After all, Gentildonna was the kind of Uma Musume who would dedicate utmost seriousness and effort into whatever she decided to do.

But what made Gotham Song s...

A rose-colored brilliance erupted, strong enough to scatter the sun itself—crushing every fool who dared block her path. In that instant, Donna’s speed soared dramatically, shattering her previous limits. This Uma Musume, once restrained by her greatest disadvantage, now demonstrated an utterly impossible surge, ascending instantly to unparalleled heights.

The chains that held me back no longer exist. And now that the shackles are broken—what qualifications do you have, who ne...
