"Aaaaaaah! Sister, you actually killed Sparkle!"
"This... This can't be! How could death exist within Penacony's Dream?"
"Garden of Recollection! What exactly have you done?!"
Sampo's expression shifted from confusion to shock, then to fury. He pointed a trembling finger at Black Swan's head, his voice trembling slightly.
"You did this, didn't you?"
"In Penacony's Dream, only the power of memories could accomplish such a thing!"
"Did you plan this ...

"Oh~ so that's how it is. A little darling orchestrated this whole farce, huh?"
Some time later, after a "friendly" exchange with Black Swan and listening to Sampo's detailed account of the entire incident from start to finish, Lumina wore an expression of dawning realization.
She then turned to Black Swan, her face full of apology, and bowed her head slightly. "I'm so sorry, Miss Black Swan. I completely misunderstood you."

"Hmm, isn't that Miss Black Swan?"
In Penacony's Golden Hour, on the upper level near Clockie's statue, Lumina and Acheron passed by and looked down. Below, in front of the Clockie statue, Black Swan was locked in a standoff with a trash can.
"Hmm... it seems so." Watching Black Swan facing off against the trash can, Acheron's impression of her elegance diminished considerably.
Acheron didn't deny or judge this; it was simply... seeing the epitome of grace, Black Swan, act i...

Five more years passed, marking the fortieth year since Okhema's founding. For a human, this was already the majority of their lifetime, a truth keenly felt by Tribios.
Under her supervision, nearly all the humans had been replaced by fresh faces. The older generation had retired to their homes, and Okhema itself had undergone a complete generational shift.
Even Melly had turned forty-nine this year, her face now bearing faint wrinkles and her hair streaked with silver. Yet, beyon...

Kousei's face was twisted into a bitter grimace as her eerie laughter echoed in her ears.
"Seeing that dumbfounded look on your face means I've achieved my goal," Tachyon said with smug satisfaction, a stark contrast to Kousei's distress.
Not long ago, Agnes Tachyon had suddenly and publicly announced her comeback. This Umamusume, who had once dominated the Satsuki Prize with an invincible aura, had vanished like a fleeting dream, leaving the world in profound re...

"Palmer, has something significant happened to the Mejiro Family?" Kousei asked, approaching the topic indirectly.
"Hehe~ You're asking about McQueen, aren't you?" Palmer immediately saw through Kousei's veiled question.
Kousei chuckled sheepishly, not denying it. "Yeah, I know McQueen is exceptional. But her suddenly becoming the head of the Mejiro Family just feels... off. It's too sudden, too untimely."
Not just McQueen, but Teio as well—it's as if someone had given the...

"Whoa!"
Kousei's eyes sharpened as she realized this was Mejiro Palmer, a name she had heard countless times from McQueen and Gold City. During the Hopeful Stakes, Kousei had only glimpsed her from afar.
"Another Mejiro?"
Palmer's appearance immediately reminded Kousei of McQueen, the second Mejiro she had encountered.
"Completely different vibe from McQueen, but since she's a Mejiro, she must be ridiculously strong."

After a "friendly, gentle, and understanding" discussion and negotiation with Black Swan, the trio emerged from the ballroom.

Lumina, reluctant to part with Black Swan's radiant smile, tried to persuade her to stay.

She had come for the Clockmaker's legacy too, without a doubt... In this game, everyone would lie, but memories would not.
At the most dazzling spot of the ball, two beautiful ladies danced with fluid grace, their movements elegant and refined, their bearing impeccable... Both ladies' attire featured purple as the dominant color, radiating distinct yet equally captivating auras.
One exuded elegant confidence, while the other remained aloof and taciturn... Inevitably, when elegant ...

The elegant woman, naturally seizing this moment alone with her prey, chuckled softly and reveale...

No, "drink herself into oblivion" is an exaggeration.

And as a young girl, throwing up was terribly undignified!
So, just a little would do.
