Participating in the Arima Commemoration counts as a success

"What?" Golden Legend did not react.

"It's the one in the newspaper, the one Oguri Hat said he would marry you after retiring!" McQueen said a little irritably.

"Oh, that's just a joke made by Xiaoli, although she did say, what's wrong?" Golden Legend didn't know why.

"Then how did you answer?"

"How else can I answer? Of course it is rejection. How can we get married if we are both racehorse girls? What's more, Oguri has retired and I haven't retired yet."

"...The enemy is more powerful than imagined. It's great that the legend is just a piece of wood." McQueen lowered his head and said softly.

"Are you okay McQueen?"

You're not usually like this.

Golden Legend asked worriedly.

"...Nothing! Okay, are you ready? It's time for us to set off." McQueen raised his head and returned to his usual appearance.

"Ready!" Legend saw that there was nothing wrong with McQueen, so he stood up and walked out of the dormitory with McQueen.

After locking the dormitory door, Golden Legend checked his belongings again and casually chatted with McQueen.

"Speaking of which, McQueen is eligible to participate in this year's Arima Memorial, right?"

"Yes, but due to physical reasons, I did not participate." McQueen coughed lightly, his tone a little unnatural.

"I thought you were trying to avoid the war. After all, Ryan and Aldan both participated." Legend's words were playful.

"...it's good to know some things and don't say them out loud." McQueen couldn't hold himself any longer.

"It's really hard work for a big family." Golden Legend laughed.

"I also want to participate. I can compete with Ryan and Sister Aldan. This is a very rare opportunity!" McQueen sighed and began to mutter, "What did the old man at home say? [McQueen also said This is not the time to participate in the Arima Memorial], [Give the performance opportunity to Ryan], [This is Aldan’s stage], [The Mejiro family is not suitable for more than three people to appear at one time] These words deprived me of my qualification to participate!"

"But McQueen agreed."

If you don't want to, no one can stop it.

"After all, the clan elders don't have any ill intentions. Moreover, as a member of the Mejiro family, it is also our duty to obey the family's instructions. We can't take up all the rankings."

It would be too ugly to look like that.

"You're really confident." Looking at McQueen's proud look, Golden Legend said jokingly, "You know there are strong opponents in this competition, and Oguri Hat is also participating."

"Because we are the racing girls of the Mejiro family, and it is natural to be proud." McQueen puffed up his chest, "As for Oguri Hat, although it is not a good thing to say, no one thinks that she can win, after all..."

She's in such a bad shape.

"really."

Oguri Hat's previous games were worse each time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Oguri Hat's posture is very poor.

"But I still support Li Hao, although I feel sorry for Ryan and Aldan."

"Roar~" McQueen's eyes became sharp.

The emperor's voice suddenly came from the legend's pocket.

"Ah, sorry, I'll take a call."

Golden Legend took out his cell phone, apologized to McQueen, and answered the call.

"Hey, is something wrong?"

"Ah, junior, is Oguri at your place?"

Tamamo Cross' unique Osaka accent came from the phone.

"...No, what's wrong, Senior Xiaoyu?"

"That guy is missing! Really, she was about to leave for the Zhongshan Racecourse, but she actually disappeared! What if she got lost! Does she have the consciousness that she is a contestant?" Tamamoji's tone was very exciting.

"Anyway, junior-kun, if you have any news about Xiaoli, remember to let me know. I'll go pack my things first. It's true that such a grown-up person is still so worrying..."

Tamamo Cross said and hung up the phone in a hurry. Golden Legend looked at the hung up phone thoughtfully.

"What's wrong?" McQueen glanced over and asked.

"...Nothing, just a little thing." Golden Legend shook his head and put the phone back in his pocket, "By the way, McQueen, I suddenly remembered something to deal with, so I won't set off with you. You guys go first. Well, let’s meet at the Zhongshan Racecourse.”

After saying that, he ran out without giving McQueen time to react.

"Hey! Wait, where are you going?" McQueen stood there, stretched out his hand, and stared blankly at the back of Legend, running further and further away.

……

"You really are here."

It was still the quiet grove. Golden Legend pushed aside the branches in front of him and saw the gray shadow quietly looking up at the sky.

"...It's a legend. Why are you here?"

Oguri Hat turned around and looked at the Golden Legend strangely.

"Senior Xiaoyu has been looking for you everywhere. She was about to leave, but she was gone. She was so anxious."

Golden Legend shrugged and said helplessly.

"Is it already this time? Sorry for causing trouble to you."

Oguri Hat was a little surprised, and then said apologetically.

"Let's talk to Senior Xiaoyu about this... What are you looking at?"

Golden Legend walked behind Xiaoli Hat, raised his head and looked around, trying to find what Xiaoli Hat was paying attention to.

"It's nothing, I'm just in a daze."

Little Li Hat closed his eyes and shook his head.

"...Are you nervous?"

I remember you saying it was easy to calm down here.

"More or less, after all, this is my last flash event."

"So you can be sentimental too?" Golden Legend deliberately joked, seeing that Oguri Hat looked different from the past.

"It's natural. After all, I'm just an ordinary horse racing girl." Oguri Hat said with a smile.

"...Be normal, I'm afraid."

"It doesn't have to be like this." Seeing the golden legend taking half a step back, Oguri Hat showed a helpless expression.

"After all, something's really not right with you right now."

The little fool I know doesn't give off such an aura.

Although Oguri Hat still had the same cold expression, Golden Legend could feel the sharp aura, which was completely different from usual.

"What did you do?" Golden Legend asked hesitantly.

"I just thought about the past and felt a little emotional. Before I knew it, it had been so long." Oguri Hat looked at the sky again.

Golden Legend listened quietly.

"Looking back now, those things in the past seem like yesterday. Whether it is the days in Kasamatsu before coming to this, or the days spent after coming to Central, they are still vivid in my mind."

Oguri Hat stretched out his hand towards the sky, and then clenched his fist as if to grab something.

"I met precious friends, met respectable opponents, those who cared about me and took care of me. Without knowing it, I have gained so many things worth cherishing."

"However, the more I harvest something I cherish, the more timid I become, and I have inadvertently turned into a child who holds on to the things in my hands. Until a while ago, when Inari and Kobayashi retired one after another, I just realized, maybe it’s time to let go.”

"...So you chose to retire?"

The tone of Golden Legend is inexplicable.

Little Li Hat smiled and did not answer.

"Tama once told me before the Arima Memorial two years ago that at the Arima Memorial, which is the most watched event in Japan, she will have a final showdown with the strongest opponents to prove that the Tamamo Cross is the best. Strong, giving a final touch to my career, this is the best final game."

"..."

"Now, I can finally understand Xiaoyu's mood at that time."

The Golden Legend remained silent.

"I'll prove it."

"Prove what?"

Xiaoli Hat still didn't answer, she stretched, turned around and walked past the Golden Legend.

"Okay, everyone must be waiting impatiently, let's set off."

"..."

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to thank you for."

Oguri Hat stopped moving and went back to back with the Golden Legend.

"Thanks for what?"

"Thank you for showing up when I was the most timid."

Xiao Lihao chuckled and walked out of the forest without looking back, heading towards the promised place.

Golden Legend turned around and looked at Oguri Hat's back in the distance.

The pace of the back figure was so slow, as if it had exhausted all its strength.

But Golden Legend could hear the deafening sound of encouragement, as if it was showing the final result and celebrating the arrival of victory.

"Prove it?"

The Golden Legend muttered to himself.

Chapter 61 I’m back

"What are you thinking, Legend?"

The trainer holding a lollipop looked helplessly at the entranced Golden Legend.

"You have been absent-minded since the meeting just now. The game is about to begin."

"...Sorry, I was thinking about something."

The golden legend who came back to his senses shook his head, and then looked around.

"How about everyone?"

"You just noticed it." The trainer looked like you couldn't help it, and spread his hands, "Those guys said they wanted to find a place closer, no, the closest, to watch the game."

"Do they actually have such high enthusiasm? It's really rare." Golden Legend said with some surprise.

"After all, this is a commemoration of Arima, and it is the retirement race of Kuribori Hat." The trainer said with emotion, "Look at this lively scene, they are all here for Kuribori Hat."

Golden Legend looked around. Today's Zhongshan Racecourse is a real sea of ​​​​people. The spectators are crowded together, and many of them are holding banners in support of Oguri Hat.

"...It's really incredibly popular." Legend sighed.

"After all, that's the little chestnut hat." The trainer nodded, then turned around and asked, "What about you, where are you going to see?"

"Just ahead." Golden Legend pointed to the location before the finish line.

"...You can't squeeze through, right?" The trainer looked at the crowded crowd hesitantly.

"It's okay, I just have to work hard for you, trainer."

"...What do you want to do? Stop! People will die!"

The Golden Legend used the trainer as a shield and squeezed out a avenue from the crowd!

……

"I thought I was going to die."

In the stands at the finish line, the trainer was rubbing the parts that had been squeezed, groaning in pain.

"You have to have confidence in yourself, trainer. Your body is still alive and kicking after being mentioned by so many horse girls. That's all." Golden Legend showed no regrets.

"These are two different things!" the trainer retorted, "Also, is it okay to just stay here?"

"This is the final decisive point of a game, right?"
