As a horse girl, I will never lose!

As for the 'Emperor' challenge?

Honestly, Okino didn't think that 'Emperor' really had a chance of beating 'McQueen' in this race.

Although there is a chance of winning, it is not completely impossible, but the possibility is too low.

But by that time, he actually didn't care whether the "Emperor" won or not.

Unbeaten Triple Crown, Takarazuka Kinen, and this year's Queen's Cup, Japan Cup and Arima Kinen, and next year's Osaka Cup...

As long as the 'Emperor' can win all these races, he will be able to achieve the result of eight crowns.

It is just a small regret that the Emperor's Spring Award cannot beat McQueen.

But as long as 'McQueen' wins one more Emperor (Spring) race, he will be able to achieve the achievement of winning the Emperor (Spring) three times in a row and become the true strongest long-distance athlete!

When he thought about having two such legendary horses as his teammates, Chongye would wake up laughing in his dreams.

But now Mi Yu's appearance made him feel a huge danger.

Next, whether it is 'Emperor' or 'McQueen', their competition may encounter Mi Yu!

It is also unknown whether this dark assassin will participate in the upcoming Japan Cup and Arima Kinen.

As this year's strongest player, fans will surely vote for the dark assassin to participate in the Japan Cup and Arima Kinen, which coincides with the 'Emperor's' upcoming schedule!

And even if the opponent does not participate in these two games, but next year's Spring Triple Crown——

He had a feeling that the other party would definitely not miss it!

"Damn it, the situation on the Emperor's side isn't that dangerous, because the dark assassin isn't as good at medium-range as long-range, but McQueen's side..."

To be honest, he couldn't think of any solution at the moment.

Because McQueen's current training intensity is already very high, further improvement will only increase the risk of injury.

Besides, McQueen's current strength has reached a bottleneck period, and it cannot be broken through by blindly increasing training.

He also felt that he seemed to be worrying too much.

Although Mi Yu's performance in this game was amazing, the gap between him and McQueen was still 50-50, and he did not show the ability to suppress McQueen.

However, unlike McQueen, Mi Yu, which debuted just one year ago, is now in a period of rapid growth.

The fact is that Mi Yu's strength has improved rapidly in recent games, which is the biggest reason why Chongye is worried.

Because he couldn't imagine how much Mi Yu's strength would improve by that time.

After the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival ended, things turned out just as Okino had expected. In this year's Japan Cup and Arima Kinen voting, Rice Bath received surprisingly high votes.

It is even catching up with the 'Emperor of the East China Sea'.

Faced with such a challenger coming up from behind, the atmosphere in the Spica team became a little serious.

"'Emperor', are you confident that you can outrun that Mi Yu guy?"

Yamato Akagi asked the 'Emperor' who had a relaxed expression on his face.

The 'Emperor of the East Sea' who just won the Queen's Cup easily said calmly: "No problem, I will win. Before the match with 'McQueen', I will not lose!"

She was planning to accumulate the momentum of victory and go to the Emperor's Spring Festival to challenge the strongest 'McQueen'.

Before that, it would be a shame for her to lose.

"It's good that you have confidence."

Yamato Akagi nodded.

She didn't think the 'Emperor' was bragging, after all, the 'Emperor' was just that powerful.

Ni Vodka also echoed, "Don't worry, Mi Yu's strength in the middle distance track is not as terrible as the long distance track, and this is the distance that Emperor is good at."

Even in the 2500m long distance race Arima Kinen, the 'Emperor' has more advantages.

The reason why Mi Yu's performance in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Race was so terrifying was entirely because it was an ultra-long distance track of 3000 meters.

Within the 2500m range, Mi Yu's performance is not so terrible, and the 'Emperor' with enhanced endurance is now arguably the strongest.

"That's exactly what it is." The 'Emperor' smiled confidently.

If it was the previous Chrysanthemum Appreciation Tournament, she might not have had the confidence to guarantee victory, but for the next two competitions, the Japan Cup and the Arima Kinen, she is confident of winning.

McQueen suddenly interrupted and said, "Don't be too conceited, Emperor. Have you forgotten that the kid hasn't shown the ZONE effect yet?"

"..."

The 'Emperor' put away his smile upon hearing this.

This is indeed a threat.

but--

"Don't worry, 'McQueen', I will challenge you with my strongest attitude, because we have already agreed."

[Chapter 150: A hero cannot flee from the battlefield! ]

In the lounge in the grove behind the campus where he had just been assigned, P looked with a headache at Mi Yu who insisted on participating in the Japan Cup.

About the Japan Cup...

To be honest, he didn't want Mi Yu to participate in this competition.

At least after seeing the list of this year's Japan Cup, he had no intention of letting Mi Yu play.

And he had only recently received the news.

It turned out that the chairman and his team had gone on a business trip to discuss matters concerning overseas exchange students and exchange competitions with the foreign Tresen Academy.

This will also result in this year's Japan Cup being more intense than ever before.

Plus with the participation of the 'Emperor of the East China Sea', he really couldn't see any hope of winning.

The 'East Sea Emperor', who has already understood the zone, is in good shape and has accumulated the momentum of winning, is destined to shine in this year's Japan Cup.

The 'Emperor of the East China Sea' in this state is much stronger than usual.

Mi Yu had just finished the Classic Triple Crown event. The fatigue accumulated from previous training and competitions would affect future competitions. Now he should avoid fighting and rest for a while.

Moreover, he had originally planned to use this time to go to the library to learn knowledge and research materials about Uma Musume's skills, intending to make up for Mi Yu's shortcomings in this area as soon as possible.

However, if we want to compete in the Japan Cup and Arima Kinen, the schedule will become a bit tight.

"Mi Yu, I don't recommend you to run these two races now, and you have the opportunity to participate in these two races every year..."

P tried to persuade Mi Yu to give up the idea.

But after seeing the popularity vote, Mi Yu decided that he must participate this time.

Because a 'hero' cannot disappoint everyone's expectations and cannot escape from the battlefield!

Even if the opponent is strong, she should still go and challenge him.

"Trainer, I'm sorry, I know you're concerned about me, but I still want to compete!"

"why?"

"Because of Miyu, I want to respond to everyone's expectations!"

Looking at the voting index that was almost the same as the most popular candidate, Mi Yu clenched his fists and answered with a firm look in his eyes.

PNow I feel a little annoyed looking at the popularity voting webpage. Although rising popularity is a good thing, it is very wrong to affect Mi Yu’s mentality because of it!

"Then I'll be frank." P's originally gentle expression turned serious, "Mi Yu, you are likely to lose this game. Is it okay even if that happens?"

Although he didn't know Mi Yu's reason, he could see that Mi Yu hated losing very much, or simply could not accept defeat.

This kid's desire to win is pretty morbid, which isn't actually a bad thing.

But it depends on the situation.

Why is he so serious about wanting Mi Yu to avoid this Japan Cup?

It was because he felt that with Mi Yu’s current mentality, if he really lost, there would probably be big problems.

Mi Yu was silent for a while before he said, "...No, Trainer, Mi Yu I will not lose. I cannot lose."

Because once she loses, she will no longer be the shining 'hero' and will no longer be able to move forward with everyone's expectations on her shoulders.

Mi Yu believes that a 'hero' should be invincible, always standing in the light, and always facing the cheers and expectations of the crowd.

That is what a real 'hero' is. If you lose, you can no longer be a 'hero'.

So Mi Yu must win!

"Then give up and prepare for next year's Spring Triple Crown. This is the most suitable competition route for you now."

P is not actually the kind of trainer who would severely reject the wishes of the horse girl, but Mi Yu's situation does not allow him to do so.

Mi Yu could not accept failure at all. If he lost at this time, he couldn't imagine what would happen next.

"No, I can't give up!"

Mi Yu looked at the trainer with a determined look without any retreat.

P was shocked by Mi Yu's condition.

With his perception, he could feel that Mi Yu's aura had become even more terrifying.

He couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he was afraid he would not be able to convince Mi Yu.

In other words, looking at Mi Yu's current eyes, he couldn't continue to be cruel enough to persuade Mi Yu to give up.

“Do you have to compete?”

"Ok!"

"...Okay, but you have to be prepared. The next opponent will be more difficult to deal with than the previous Miura Bourbon. There is still a big gap between you and them now!"

"I understand. Thank you, Trainer."

Mi Yu bowed to P to express his gratitude.

P felt a little helpless.

This is mentioned in the trainer's manual issued by the committee.

The trainer cannot arrange the competition plan too much according to the horse girl's own wishes, because the trainer is responsible for the future of the horse girl.

He actually agrees with this statement very much.

But at the same time, he couldn't do what his outstanding predecessors did and completely control the life and thoughts of Uma Musume for the sake of racing results.

Because Uma Musume is not a prop in the competition.

They are also human beings, with flesh and blood, who laugh because of happy things and cry because of sad things.

Is it really right to obliterate Uma Musume's own ideas for the sake of results?

P, who had just been promoted to a senior trainer, was unable to give an answer to this question.

He doesn't want to limit Uma Musume's own thoughts and dreams, but at the same time he wants to give her a happy and fulfilling future.

But how can we achieve such an ideal thing?

He is looking for the answer.

But now, facing Mi Yu's request, he really couldn't refuse it.

And he had a feeling that it would be useless even if he refused.

Given Mi Yu's personality, he might even sneak away to participate.

Mi Yu, who is familiar with the registration process for the competition, has the opportunity to achieve this by bypassing his trainer.

So instead of letting Mi Yu do whatever he wants, it would be better to agree to it, and then he will try his best to support Mi Yu's decision.

"Trainer, can we start today's training?"

"No, what you need next is rest. You need to restore your body to its most perfect state in the shortest possible time."

Since we have decided to compete in the Japan Cup, the training plan can be temporarily suspended.

Although Mi Yu is in very good health, the previous training and competitions have indeed caused Mi Yu's body to accumulate a lot of fatigue.
