The commentator’s frenzied shout ignited the entire stadium. Thousands of hands pounding against metal railings set off a continuous hum, mingling with roars of encouragement that surged through the skies above Nakayama Racecourse.
Golden afternoon sunlight transformed the track into a molten corridor, upon which fifteen shooting stars simultaneously ignited their trailing flames.
At storm-like speed, Kitasan Black’s short black hair and long ponytail whipped straight behind h...

As the commentator's passionate voice echoed, the long procession of Uma Musume thundered down the far-side straight.
The race had already passed halfway, and the commentator calmly summarized the current standings.
“Let's quickly confirm the current positions."
“In first place, Kitasan Black."
“Behind her is Clear Sky, who hasn't given up and continues desperately chasing—though she still trails by four lengths...now closing slightly to three."

Only about twenty seconds had passed since the gates opened, yet the Satsuki Sho had already seen several dramatic shifts.
First came the explosive start, followed by fierce positioning battles.
Then, the struggle uphill among Kitasan Black, Clear Sky, and Azulita, resulting in Kitasan briefly pulling ahead—until Clear Sky's rapid charge overtook her again.
Such intense competition at the front visibly quickened the overall pace, stretching the field out noticeably.

Clang!
The metallic sound of the starting gates bursting open rang sharply beside her ears, and the narrow view before Kitasan Black instantly expanded to a boundless, open world.
Her heart hammered like thunder inside her chest. The horseshoes embedded in her shoes sank deeply into lush green turf.
Every muscle in her body tightened, honed like tempered steel cables. In that instant, Kitasan’s pupils narrowed sharply—and she launched forward.
Wind surged ...

Though Yasui Makoto’s voice had sounded no different from usual, for some reason, Kitasan Black felt instantly calmer.
Her resolve for the coming race became even stronger.
With this newfound steadiness, she gratefully and happily wished him goodnight, soon drifting into a deep sleep.

Like the Spring Stakes, the Satsuki Sho would be held at Nakayama Racecourse, and all Uma Musume participants and their trainers arrived early to prepare.
Compared to previous races, Yasui Makoto’s instructions this time were more meticulous than ever.

All of these previously emphasized points were reviewed thoroughly again, culminating in the chosen runn...

That night, Kitasan Black’s mind was completely occupied with imagining her Racing Outfit.
During dinner, she'd already sent a message to Yasui Makoto, asking him to send her a photo if one appeared in his meeting.
Once she received the picture, another delightful surprise awaited her.
Apparently, the URA Association and the Academy had gotten her measurements from Yasui long ago, and the Racing Outfit was already completed.
At first glance, she’d fallen completely...

“All right, take a breather. Good job on this lap.”
He nodded approvingly, then asked with concern, “How’s your right side feeling? Any discomfort?”
“Hehe, it actually felt pretty good just now!”
Kitasan smiled cheerfully, rubbing her right shoulder and flexing her right leg.

When Yasui Makoto agreed, he saw Almond Eye’s surprise flicker through her eyes, and Kitasan Black was practically bouncing with excitement.
“That’s great! Then we can run together with Almond-chan again, just like today!”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it too,” Almond Eye replied, unable to suppress a smile.
Yasui Makoto smiled along, though inwardly he remained composed.
It was certainly a pleasant surprise that Almond Eye had asked him for guidance.

“Allow me…to fulfill my final duty as a Servant of Black.”
As Chiron’s exhausted voice trailed off from where he lay collapsed upon the earth, a brilliant golden light flashed suddenly from the distant heavens.
Achilles sensed imminent danger racing toward him. He instinctively moved to dodge, but it was already too late.
Even for Greece’s swiftest hero, there was no longer any chance to evade the gleaming, golden-silver arrow hurtling straight toward him.

He could only stand and watch—watch helplessly as his lands fell into enemy hands, as his loyal subjects perished under ...

The surrounding world distorted strangely, colors warping as if reality itself had shifted.

Dear Sylphy,
Winter seems to have stretched unusually long this year. Even the flow of letters slowed to a crawl.

Nakano Miku pressed one hand to her skirt and the other to her chest, eyes wary.

Kitahara Takeru’s smile was laced with mischief as he slowly advanced on her.

But her retreat didn’t last long. Her back soon hit the cold wall—no way out.
Kitahara closed in, leaning down slightly.
