Uma Musume: Your Uma Has A Problem! [64]

Due to her exhaustion, Kagura slept exceptionally well.

Kagura had a strange ability—no matter how late or how early she went to bed, she'd always wake up precisely at 6:30 AM the next day. Even if she was dead tired, she'd still open her eyes briefly before drifting back to sleep.

“Mm…”

Kagura slowly woke from her deep slumber. This rare quality sleep left her feeling immensely satisfied. Just as she was about to stretch a little, she suddenly felt something soft an...

“Nice Nature! Nice Nature!!”

The spectators’ cheers for Nice Nature still echoed through the racecourse, her spectacular performance impressing everyone—not only the audience but even her competitors, who showed genuine admiration.

“Thank you, everyone, for your support! Thank you so much!”

Since Tracen’s Selection Race had no follow-up Winner’s Concert, Nice Nature’s task now was simply to leave the track, take a brief rest, and prepare herself to meet the...

Uma Musume: Your Uma Has A Problem! [61]

The School Selection Race had always been one of Tracen's most important traditions. Through these races, Tracen could identify talented students early on, allowing trainers to start guiding these promising young Uma Musume as soon as possible.

It was, undeniably, the perfect opportunity for those looking to find a good trainer, and Kagura-chan took it especially seriously. That was exactly why she'd volunteered to help Nice Nature with her special training for today.

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [749]

With a sweep of the brush, the vines imprisoning Shimazaki Yuna vanished, reduced instantly to ashes as if consumed by flame.

Altair instinctively moved to catch her but abruptly halted, recalling Hoshikawa Hikayu’s earlier fate—if she recklessly approached, she might end up in the exact same situation.

Thus, it was Van Gogh who finally stepped forward, cradling Shimazaki Yuna in her arms, the two girls of strikingly similar appearance now held tightly together.

The voice belonged to "Van Gogh"—to Shimazaki Yuna—but the one truly speaking was an existence behind her.

It borrowed Van Gogh’s voice, directly projecting its words into everyone's minds.

"Leave this place. All your efforts are futile."

"Your world's barrier cannot stop me. Your desperate resistance will bear no fruit."

"This is my final mercy. Cease your defiance, and I guarantee that once I've completed my invasion, intelligent life shall experience no pain; ...

Surrender—generally means, when the tide of war becomes clear, voluntarily abandoning resistance, laying down weapons, yielding to the opponent, and actively defecting to the opposite camp. As the saying goes, "A true warrior prefers death over disgrace," so the act of surrender is always despised.

Altair and the others absolutely did not expect… such a shameful word could actually be uttered by their enemy, nearly making them choke on their breath after having prepared themselves f...

The "flower bud" formed from Van Gogh's Saint Graph after being split and corrupted, designed to allow the Outer God's descent, appeared from outside as an immense, island-sized sphere—three kilometers in diameter, pristine white.

Now, Selesia and the others had plunged into its interior. What met their eyes were vivid greens and yellows—green vines and yellow flowers.

Inside this place, there shouldn't have been any light, yet they could see clearly—complex pathways, intert...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [745]

This shadow world, painted by Van Gogh using seven billion monsters as material, was an exact replica of the real world, copied at a one-to-one scale. Even though everything was lifeless, even though the night sky was merely painted and dawn would never come, it still looked convincingly real.

The cost was that searching for a single person in a shadow world the size of a planet was no different from trying to fish a needle from the ocean. Meteora couldn't manage it, nor could Altair. I...

“Uwah! It suddenly turned dark!”

When Mamika Kirameki was pulled out from Van Gogh’s shadow, she glanced up at the murky night sky, letting out a small cry of surprise. Meteora, who heard this, immediately took note.

“If Mamika-san is saying that, does it mean it’s already daytime outside?”

It was Van Gogh who answered her.

“Yes, right now outside is around seven in the morning. Although winter only recently passed, it’s already sunrise time. This shado...

The beginning of the story was when Van Gogh discovered she had descended into this world.

Unlike Created such as Selesia and the others, she came from somewhere much farther away—beyond the cosmos, beyond the sea of stars. She was a traveler crossing galaxies, and this world was merely one stop in her endless journey.

Upon her arrival, she immediately realized this world’s peculiarity.

First, this world resembled the Type-Moon world—it had both a planetary consciousne...

It whispered in my ear; It could no longer wait.

Little by little, the stage began taking shape—but as it grew closer to completion, fewer and fewer people remained on this planet.

Spider’s approach naturally made the inhabitants feel deeply threatened.

Toward the very end, even the stage crew had to be replaced by Hotaru and the other girls.

Of course, ignoring him was impossible—Robin would at most complain a bit in her heart.

Besides, even if she didn’t worry about Sora, she still had those children to look after.

“Miss Robin, welcome.”

“No need to be so formal, doctor. I just came by to check on things.”

In the hospital, Robin conversed quietly with the mechanical doctor before her.

Her main purpose today was simple—to check up on the patients transferred here from Straton III.

“The vital signs of the transferred patients are quite stable. With continued treatment, most should fully recover.”

“Most, huh?” Robin fell silent after saying this.

Kakakakaka.

In the dim expanse of space, the sound of mechanical motion resounded clearly.

And along with this noise, a pitch-black figure slowly began to shift.

Suspended in the cosmos, curled up as though gradually waking from deep slumber.

One long, slender limb after another stretched outward, their tips carrying an unsettling, flesh-like texture.

Lights flickered to life—one pair, two pairs…

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [150]

“You mean…your friend disappeared?”

“Yes, Song. Do you have any ideas?”

Gotham Song frowned, genuinely caught off guard by the news.

This morning, waking unusually late from beside a still-sleeping Neo Universe, she found, equally unusually, no Donna-san waking her. It was sort of a tradition around her—usually diligent, but allowed freedom at least on the day after a race.

After stepping out briefly for water and breakfast, she’d bumped into Manhattan Ca...

Actually, there had always been a rumor: after the Japan Cup, Gotham Song would perform a Winner’s Concert after every subsequent race.

No one really knew when this news started spreading, but somehow, every spectator at the Arima Kinen knew about it. Yet in the end, when night fell and the stage lights stayed dimmed, everyone beneath the empty stage sighed to each other:

Of course, Song-san is still Song-san, after all. How could the great Demon King really perform at every...

Kitasan Black was startled at first, but quickly became delighted.

Even watching from the side, anyone could clearly see one thing:

As though split into two dimensions, the seventeen Uma Musume hurtling forward were divided into two separate worlds at the boundary of lanes three and four.

Sixteen shadows galloped together down the well-trodden inner lanes, rushing toward the next corner along the straight facing the stands.

On the outside, as if holding her own private race, was the solitary, towering figure from the very rear of the pack.<...

“All Uma Musume have broken smoothly from the gates! No missed starts!”

“No contestants have missed the break!”

Repeating it again for emphasis, the commentator continued:

“The experienced older Uma Musume unanimously avoided the inner lane, shifting outward instead.”

“Leading out first is No. 9, Hokko Brave, closely followed by No. 8, Phantom Gale.”

When it came to training guidance, teaching by example often worked better than instruction by words.

Many experienced trainers frequently invited former trainees to help their current Uma Musume through joint runs and mock races.

Besides formal training sessions, there were also casual gatherings—all designed to help senpai pass their experiences on to their juniors.

Compared with theory-focused direct instruction, exchanges between senpai and kouhai were much more relaxe...
