Chapter 1258 No. 165: The One Who Exhausted His Way

Although the field of Uma Musume has seen the emergence of specific families such as Mejiro, Yuzhi, and Sakura after a long period of development, such families are still too small compared to the entire huge base.

Although for professional researchers, everything about the horse racing souls in their hometown is based on the chain of bloodlines, so the horse racing girl's family is quite decisive in the birth of certain horse racing girls, just like the necessity of tags in the public recruitment of boat tours, just like the existence of horse racing souls such as Rudolph Symbol and Sirius Symbol will inevitably descend under the genealogy of the "Symbol Family", the same is true for horse racing girls such as Mejiro Yoshinobu and Mejiro McQueen of the "Mejiro Family".

But as far as the public is concerned, the horse racing girls they see come from all kinds of backgrounds and families.

There are even people like Ailisuko and Aili Digital who have the same surname but are not related.

Of course, if you really want to be picky, it is not completely unrelated.

If you are like Omer, willing to pay the cost of understanding the other world, you will eventually find out that the souls of the racehorses they carry were named by the same owner when they were alive.

But this is obviously not included in the reincarnation selection criteria for the souls of racehorses.

So, although Suzuko and Digital Teacher were born in unrelated families, they showed a little bit of fate when they were assigned dormitories after entering school and became roommates.

The dormitory allocation itself is quite random, just like Aimu Orihime from the high school section and Shin Ji-rei from the junior high school section are paired together, while Shin Cosmos from the junior high school section can move into the dormitory of another student who entered the same class as him, Ai Ru Wangxi (this is his name), who has a vacant roommate for some reason.

When it comes to university, quite a few horse girls choose to go to school as a day student or rent a house nearby. But even so, there is still a strange situation in Miura Dormitory and Ritto Dormitory where some college students and junior high school students live together, which makes you wonder whether all this can be so natural and whether it is thanks to the blessing of a certain chairman.

No doubt about it, it is!

However, whenever faced with such doubts, accusations, and questions, Chairman Akikawa's answers remained the same.

She said: "I am just following the advice of the Three Goddesses."

[Respect their opinions, and respect their opinions as well]

This obviously refers to the horse spirit, and then the horse girl herself.

No matter which child the soul chooses, and no matter what choice the child makes, respect is what they should do.

As for whether to support it, that is another topic.

Many people believe that Uma Musume was brought into being by the three goddesses, who took care of her throughout her birth. Even many Uma Musume think so, because it fits everyone's imagination of the goddess's kindness.

But in fact, the three goddesses are only responsible for opening the door and pulling the horse racing souls from the other world. What happens next is up to the horse racing souls themselves.

It decides whether to give birth and which child's life will be influenced by it.

It can be said that the miracle that the horse girls, as adults of fused souls, have never had any soul conflict problems so far is due to this freedom.

Let all souls find mirror images that reflect each other, and let all destinies have a suitable start.

But it’s just the right start.

As for how it will truly develop, there have been too many regrettable examples in the history of Umamusume.

Katsuragi Ace, who came out of the countryside, hates closed-off atmosphere and stereotypes, and yearns for a free and easy-going classmate. His goal of running to surpass her is ultimately far from a satisfying ending.

That piece of grassland carries so many legends and regrets. If it were today, there would perhaps always be some extraordinary people willing to spend the effort to investigate and sort it out, and it would no longer be as silent as it was in the past. However, obviously, the only people who will remember those regrets deeply are the people involved.

In fact, Ace Katsuragi thought of that arena more than once.

At that time, the name of that competition had not yet been replaced by the reformed charter.

In the Jiemen District competition, which has a history of hundreds of years and is also called the Japan Cup, there was that classmate and another junior who came from behind and crushed everyone. It was a rare battlefield with three champions.

The goal that I have always longed for, pursued, and desired to surpass.

With another goal that repeatedly defeated his own, he was the target of worldwide attention at that time.

In addition, there were countless strong people from other areas who gathered together to win the championship, which could be said to be the best battle of the time.

In such a battlefield, she had failed several times and was considered to be an average performer. Only recently, she changed her competition and running strategies and gradually accumulated popularity and bounties. She even barely defeated that classmate once. She was called the "Katsuragi Ace of Middle Distance", but in the end, she still couldn't compete with you in popularity.

Popularity 10.

This was the result of the support she received in the beginning.

There were 18 contestants in total, and he ranked tenth in popularity, and he was from the local boundary gate area. It can be said that he was not favored.

Everyone's eyes were on the showdown between the two Triple Crown horse girls, as well as the lineup of horse girls from other regions, including the G1 five-time champion from the Anmei region, the Derby champion from the Italian region, the G1 four-time champion from the Canadian region, and the final result of that battle was the emergence of the Far East's ace!

The Japan Cup is a cup named after the former country name of the Far East, but in reality it is a global-level tournament that is always won by girls from other regions. It has been a long time since there has been a local champion.

Even reports from other regions were concerned about it, and the Umamusume magazine in the Anmei region directly dubbed it the "King of the Far East", which can be said to be the earliest publicity to determine Katsuragi's ace title.

The turning point in Katsuragi Ace's career will only be officially completed at that time - anyone who sees it would think so.

But she won't.

For her, winning this battle certainly made her blood boil and she couldn't sleep, but what really determined the turning point of her fate was what happened after this battle.

But looking at the current situation, the outcome of that battle is self-evident.

-

"From what I know, the Arima Kinen after that will be your retirement match."

"Why do you need me..."

It's awkward to be addressed with honorifics by a guy you usually get along with quite naturally, and it's awkward again to be addressed with honorifics by a guinea pig. When these two kinds of awkwardness are added together, the Katsuragi ace, who had just broken a wooden stake with his kick, can only mutter and kick the new wooden stake that had just been replaced by the mechanized transport chain.

"You can take it as a hint to get into shape, don't take it seriously," the guinea pig said, scratching the hair on his cheek. "But it's not important. What's important is that you're not in a hurry to retire yet?"

Although the fact that Chiaki retired in the same year as Katsuragi Ace is talked about a lot and is even an important node in fan creation, the fact that they retired in the same year is different month. This is a point that people who strive for perfection have regretted and there are several different opinions on.

The statement with the lowest support rate is of course "I don't actually want to retire", because there are a lot of CP fans among Umamusume fans, and forming a CP with rivals is their most important thing at the moment.

The second is the beauty of the end - retiring quickly to preserve the value of the game before the subsequent results become ugly and before the form obviously declines - which is also the most important and wise move in their eyes.

But now, Omar has to focus on considering such a possibility.

"Ah... Of course, Oshinin!" As he spoke, he let out a battle cry written as Oshinin and pronounced as 'Ohs!', and Katsuragi Ace kicked again, while Zero pointed at him sternly, 'Don't relax! Don't lose your breath!'

While waiting for new wooden stakes to fill the room, she continued, "The failure of Arima Kinen is bad enough. How can I, Oshinin!...give up?"

To others, this statement might seem nonsensical and at most be a guess that the other party wanted to continue winning, but Omar seemed to be thinking about something.

"So, you have come into contact with the fate of the horse race that you are carrying, right?"
