The group encountered almost no resistance along the way. Though they triggered some automatic defense mechanisms, these posed little threat to them. Neuvillette didn't even need to intervene; Lyney swiftly located and disabled each device with precision.
Still, they remained on high alert, aware that their opponents might have other tricks up their sleeves. Against such a deranged murderer, no amount of caution could be excessive.
Soon, they traversed the initial corridor and ent...

"Finally, with Miss Kelly's help, we reached the area near Miss Vinani's location and began our search. We managed to rescue her at the last possible moment," Lyney concluded.
"It's a good thing we got there in time."
"I never imagined the murderer would resort to such madness. We were so close to the explosion! If not for sheer luck in finding that cave, we wouldn't have escaped unscathed."
By this point, Lyney had roughly recounted the events that had transpired.

"Is this a prelude to a boss fight?" In the live stream, Little Bear steered his character into the elevator.
As the elevator descended slowly, Ruan Mei's colossal experimental facility came into view.
Seeing the scene unfold before him, Little Bear knew they were about to enter the boss battle.
But...
"Are we really going to solo an Emanator? Seriously?"
Ding-dong!

"Hmm... it's actually developed self-awareness. That's quite unexpected."
After resolving the situation in the Containment Zone, Lumina led Stelle and the Little Swarm to the platform to find Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei's striking appearance and distinctive aura made her easy to spot. Within moments, they located her amidst the bustling crowd.
As the trio approached, Ruan Mei immediately noticed the Little Swarm floating on Stelle's shoulder. A rare flicker of surprise momentarily di...

"Ah! Ah! Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhhhh! Ahhhhh!"
In the end, faced with Lumina's two choices, Little Swarm chose the latter... not for any particular reason, but simply because his Creator's gentle little fists, even when landing on him, felt gentle!
As Lumina's "gentle" strikes landed on the Simulated Starcrusher Swarm King, it erupted into a series of piercing shrieks. However, these screams didn't sound...

"Where on Earth did this child learn these phrases...?"
From behind an observation window nearby, Lumina overheard every word and witnessed every gesture of Stelle's performance. Her lips twitched involuntarily, and she pressed a hand to her forehead, a hint of exasperation in her eyes.
No one taught her these things, did they? She's barely a year old! How did she pick them up on her own, and why is she using them so fluently?
Could this be the legendary Talent?...

"Hmph!" Seeing Ruan Mei's creation offer no response, Stelle scoffed coldly.
"Looks like I, the Galactic Baseballer, have been underestimated..."
Though the Simulated Starcrusher Swarm King said nothing, Stelle could more or less grasp its thoughts.
It's just that it's never heard of me, the Galactic Baseballer! It's just underestimating me!

Charging recklessly through the raging winds, Air Groove could clearly sense McQueen breaking through her blockade with astonishing speed.
How is this possible?
Air Groove had already unleashed at least seventy percent of her power. Even if she couldn't completely suppress McQueen, she should have at least managed to contain her. Yet the sensation transmitted through the wind told her unequivocally: McQueen was moving unimpeded through the tempest.

When Grandmother brought me back to the Main Clan from the Branch Clan, I learned the true nature of my mission.
I didn't resent it, though I often missed my companions from the Branch Clan. Here, however, I had Ryan and Palmer to keep me company. I never met my dad; Grandmother told me he had gone far away. Before lea...

A thunderous roar erupted as lightning crackled around the turn.
McQueen once again displayed her Derby-caliber form, blazing through the turn like lightning without slowing down. Even watching it again remained breathtaking, though her speed nearly caused her to crash into the railing.
Thunder and lightning coursed through McQueen's eyes, her once-beautiful gaze now burning with electric light as she transformed into a living bolt of lightning, tearing through the headwind.

Thunder crackled within her eyes, erupting in erratic bursts. The engine's roar harmonized with the celestial symphony, bathing the White Chariot in lightning as it surged forward like an enraged Thunder Beast.
Something streaked across the racetrack—the Gentle Breeze stirred by the Empress. Even the Thunder Beast was caught in its vortex as it charged into the fray. Calm, restrained, and indomitable, an invisible cage bound McQueen.

As befitting a member of the elite Mejiro lineage, the cheers for McQueen were deafening. No one had expected her to appear in the second round.
Standing on the platform with grace and composure, McQueen, the representative who had secured the first victory, radiated unwavering confidence. Even without the privilege of choosing the track and facing any formidable Umamusume opponent, Mejiro McQueen exuded an aura of reassurance.

Not from the Chioriya Boutique, but from another familiar tailor's shop.
"You've fallen out of love with Chioriya Boutique," Luna sighed, shaking her head.

Once she calmed down, Navia exhaled deeply.
Alright, let's go back!
Pretend none of that just happened... That's impossible.
Once the thought took root, it was a step from which there was no turning back.
As for whether she truly felt the twing in her heart or not, Navia temporarily refused to consider it.
Because if she started down that path, she knew she'd never stop!
Gathering her courage, she pushed open the door.

Bright sunlight streamed across Furina's face, forcing her eyes open.

Though she resisted the thought, it was her turn to make breakfast—or at least buy it.
But as she started to sit up, a pair of arms wrapped around her neck, pulling her back down.
"Alright, just a little longer..."
Furina casually drew the curtains and snuggled back into bed.
If they slept until noon, they wouldn't have to worry about breakfast at all!

Rounding the corner, they ran straight into McQueen and Gold Ship.
Just a Way's expression was less one of surprise and more one of sheer terror.

"Hmph~ What a bunch of complacent fools."
Kousei and her friends were chatting when they were suddenly interrupted. They looked up to see two Umamusume standing behind them.
One had healthy, tan skin and a cheerful smile. The other had blonde hair and seemed indifferent, with a perpetual pout.
That last remark must have come from the blonde-haired one, they thought.
"Ah! It's Little Cocon!" Just a Way exclaimed, immediately recognizing the pouting Umamusume.

A colossal serpent, its scales reflecting the crimson Flame Wheel, unleashed its savage might. Mist choked the deathly realm, and white bones lay scattered across the corpse-strewn ground.

Flickering flames and boiling blood drowned out all other sounds and thoughts.
