Watching Silence Suzuka race ahead so quickly, Air Groove figured any ordinary Uma Musume would soon lose speed.
She waited patiently instead of rushing. But after a while, she realized something was wrong.
Silence Suzuka showed no sign of slowing down. She maintained a powerful rhythm throughout.
It might have been a game, but that was Silence Suzuka herself running the race!
And Zhou Yuang had taught Silence Suzuka how to race on the Tenno Sho Autumn course, so she used what he had taught her without hesitation.
She remembered exactly what to do at every point on the track.
Lose? Not a chance.
Uma Musume in the game might lose because they did something stupid, but Silence Suzuka wouldn't.
"Damn it!"
Air Groove grew tense. A certain expert at keeping things separate in the Livestream Room might not care, but she cared deeply.
On the eve of Mother's Day, Air Groove and Silence Suzuka had made a promise.
Because of what had happened at the previous Tenno Sho Autumn, Silence Suzuka had challenged Air Groove.
As the Empress, Air Groove had accepted without hesitation.
She couldn't lose! She didn't want to lose!
It wasn't only because she was the Empress. There was another reason.
"You threw my Marriage Registration in the trash!!!"
If he hadn't, she could have taped it back together! Air Groove's eyes reddened, and she unleashed a Red Skill at Silence Suzuka in the distance.
This was no longer just a race. It was personal!
And whether by design or not, the camera had focused on Air Groove just before she did it. Her red-eyed declaration and the words she shouted were broadcast to the Uma Musume in the Livestream Room in 4K.
[Faded First Heroine]: Uh, well... She looks like she wants to beat up
