Participating in the Arima Commemoration counts as a success

Legend said, walking towards his teammates who were having a heated discussion.

"It's really reliable..."

The trainer shook his head with some relief and some disappointment.

"By the way, what are you going to eat tonight? I want a deluxe set meal!"

Then he also walked towards the team.

Chapter 187 Autumn Emperor’s Award

The Emperor's Appreciation (Autumn) is the starting point of the Three Autumn Crowns of the Ancient Horse Year.

The competition venue is the Tokyo Racecourse, with a distance of 2000 meters of grass. It is usually held at the end of October or early November.

"The stands are full. There are so many people."

Golden Legend looked at the sea of ​​people in the audience, shook his head and sighed.

"Yes." Mejiro Aldan nodded, "Speaking of which, is it okay for Legend to come with me?"

"Huh? If you are talking about your teammates, I have already told you in advance."

Legend replied straightforwardly.

"No, I mean, this is McQueen's home court."

Is it really okay for you to come with me?

Mejiro Aldan said helplessly.

"Ah, it's just because it's McQueen's home stadium that I'm with you Aldan. McQueen will be very happy."

Legend said with a smile.

"In order to support McQueen, I specifically found this position. We can fully see McQueen's crossing the line."

"...Forget it, just be happy."

Poor McQueen…

Aldan mourned for McQueen in his heart for a second, and then... he watched the show with peace of mind.

Anyway, I have already got the trophy, and then I just have to see what the newcomers do.

Aldan has given up on the idea of ​​monopolizing the legend. Not to mention that he probably can't conquer this unconscious horse mint. Even for the sake of McQueen and Dober's wishes, he can't think of eating alone.

What's more, it seems like he can't win against Oguri Hat.

So, it's broken!

Next, it depends on your own destiny.

Aldan thought with a smile.

"Speaking of which, where is McQueen?" Legend looked around, "Didn't she come out backstage very early?"

……

"call……"

In the dark passage, McQueen breathed quietly.

"...The expectations I carry as a racehorse of the Mejiro family, the expectations of the fans, the trainers and team members who trust me, and..."

McQueen opened his eyes with awareness and looked ahead.

The light at the exit seemed to symbolize hope.

"Everyone, I will definitely win."

McQueen said so.

Legend, wait for me!

I will take the victory and then...

……

"It's rainy again, and it feels like weather that McQueen always encounters."

"Haha, a venue like this is an advantage for McQueen."

Golden Legend was talking to Aldan.

"Oh. Come out, eh, McQueen is in very good condition today."

Legend looked at McQueen on the stage and couldn't help but nod slightly.

"McQueen..."

I feel it, the overbearing thoughts in McQueen's heart.

Has it really been decided?Come on, McQueen.

Aldan's sister's side was pleased.

[In this unlucky weather, 18 horse racing ladies who challenged the Emperor’s Prize entered the gate. 】

The commentary sounded.

"No. 11? If you get left out and run away, it will be the same as the Takarazuka Memorial."

Aldan said.

"So, get a good position from the beginning." Mejiro McQueen thought.

[The target is the Glory of the Shield. 】

[…Now, let’s run. 】

The floodgates are open.

The horse girls jumped out.

[Mejiro McQueen had a great start, rushing from the outside to the front in one breath! 】

"Oh, beautiful, I can't do this kind of start."

Legend said appreciatively.

"...Legend." Aldan rolled his eyes at Legend, and then turned his attention to the field again, "McQueen has successfully occupied the position in the inner lane, well done!"

McQueen made a nice diagonal cut into the inside lane.

"?" Legend tilted his head, feeling like he had forgotten something.

[The race slowly unfolds, McQueen is now in third place! 】

[Even in such bad weather, the running method is not inferior! 】

"McQueen, come on!"

Aldan watched McQueen excitedly during the game.

"Aldan, you seem very excited."

Legend was thinking about what he had forgotten, while teasing Aldan, who was so excited that he lost his sense of proportion.

"Ahem..." Aldan coughed twice and returned to his elegant and dignified appearance. "I'm sorry, but you don't understand the legend. The Emperor's Award is the Mejiro family's long-cherished wish!"

"Isn't the Mejiro family's long-cherished wish the Spring Emperor's Prize? That McQueen has already achieved it."

"It's different. And, to be precise, whether it's spring or autumn, the Emperor's Award has always been the Mejiro family's long-cherished wish." Aldan said, thinking of something else, he shook his head, "It's just that it's different from the Emperor's Award in spring. Autumn Emperor’s Prize, Mejiro Family…”

"I understand." Legend understood instantly.

So far, the Ma Niang of the Mejiro family has not received the Autumn Emperor's trophy.

"So, McQueen may become the first Mejiro racehorse to win consecutive Spring and Autumn Imperial Prizes."

Legend said with sincerity.

Then it suddenly occurred to her.

In the past life, historically, Mejiro McQueen did not seem to have this achievement...

"Yes, McQueen may become an achievement that has never been achieved by anyone in the history of the Mejiro family. She will become the best racing girl in the Mejiro family."

Aldan said happily, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

"...Aldan, let me ask you something."

Legend suddenly said seriously.

"what?"

"It seems like it's a foul to walk diagonally, right?"

"Eh?"

Aldan was stunned for a moment, then his pupils shrank and the color drained from his face.

……

[Okay, the game has entered the final straight line! 】

Ideal position and more than enough leg strength at the same time!

I can win this competition!

McQueen thought so.

【McQueen!It's moving! 】

[He rushed from the outside to the front row in one breath! 】

[Although the horse girl behind is also sprinting, McQueen is faster! 】

McQueen stepped hard.

[McQueen completely threw away his opponent! 】

The audience started to cheer.

[Mejiro McQueen, first to cross the line! ! 】

[After spring, the Emperor’s Prize in autumn was also dominated by McQueen! 】

[Mejiro McQueen responded to the No. 1 anger well! 】

The commentator's voice echoed around Tokyo Hippodrome.

McQueen, who slowly slowed down, looked excitedly from the audience and waved to his fans.

Then, subconsciously, I looked for that dazzling golden color.

Then, Legend and Aldan were immediately spotted who were closest to the field.

Well……

The moment he saw Aldan, McQueen frowned slightly, but quickly let go.

I have won the Autumn Emperor's Prize, and the next step is...

Ok?

Why?The faces of Legend and Sister Aldan are so ugly?

She did not notice that the rankings and gaps were not displayed on the bulletin board announcing the results as usual.

Instead there are two words - deliberation.

Chapter 188 Legend comes with a wave of confusing operations

[As for Mejiro McQueen, who crossed the finish line first, because he hindered the routes of other horse girls, the ranking was changed to eighteen moves. 】

That day, McQueen, who had a perfect start, rushed into the track to ensure a good running position.

But this put the racing girl behind her into a situation where she had no way to run, panicked, and even almost fell down.

The referees announced the verdict after deliberation.

Golden Legend did not know what happened next.
