Naruto: Freeloading is Great! 2 [33]

Hyūga Hanabi, a little loli whose potential far surpasses Hinata’s, is the true future heir of the Hyūga clan.

Although Hanabi is just a baby right now, Hoshino himself is only six years old, so this shouldn't count as an old cow eating tender grass, right?
No matter who you compared Hanabi to, she'd win—she was genuinely Konoha’s future number-one rich-beauty .

Why call ...

“Young… No, ‘young’ isn’t the right word. Little brat, I have high hopes for you.”

“Huh?”

“Although you were the trigger for that incident, I greatly admire your courage in opposing the Uchiha clan. Don’t look so nervous—I’ve already spread the word. Those clan members who previously resented you all like you very much now.”

“Hah??”

“Surpr...

Naruto: Freeloading is Great! 2 [31]

Having cooperated amicably with the Uchiha clan to deal with the 'brave' brats of the Hyūga clan, Hoshino immediately escaped from this land of trouble at lightspeed, using the excuse that someone was waiting for him at home.

It was only a curious glance at Hinata's book, yet somehow it had inexplicably earned him favor with the eternally bored Uchiha clan.

In hindsight, was this a...

What was the very first thing Gotham Song did after sending Man o’ War off?

Disinfect and medicate her injured feet, of course.

In the small room of Flightline’s special hospital suite, Gotham Song helplessly held a medicine bottle, making an expression caught somewhere between laughter and tears.

Just what kind of ridiculous situation is this…?

After Man ...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [209]

Talent. What a topic one could never avoid.
And clearly, the Uma Musume standing beside Gotham Song felt the same helplessness about it. She too had no better answer to give.

Because that was simply how things were. No one—no matter who—could offer a better response. Once you realized that truth clearly, what else could you do besides hope that more Uma Musume might be blessed with...

Is becoming famous overnight a good thing?

That really depends on the era, the kind of fame, and who exactly is getting all this attention, right?

For someone who wasn't famous before, born into an era where "traffic is life," gaining instant fame would absolutely be wonderful in every sense. But, aside from this particular scenario, instant fame basically becomes nothing but troubl...

Twilight Song's expression didn't waver at all. Or rather, it would’ve been stranger if she had been surprised to see Gotham Song acting without the slightest disguise.

Of course, she knew exactly what kind of Uma Musume "she" was, what sort of existence she had become, and just how many deep, heavy grudges were compressed inside that heart…

Actually, maybe after reincarnating a...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [206]

Having realized her own weakness, and then immediately transformed into an invincible state, Gotham Song once again felt herself unstoppable.

At this very moment, even the all-knowing, almighty Three Goddesses couldn’t possibly match her strength, right?!

She was a god walking among mortals.

With this awareness burning within her, she boarded the train headed toward the venu...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [205]

Unsolvable problems will remain unsolved even after ten thousand years of thinking. Without the right spark, you’ll never find an answer—and honestly, if you’ve spent thirty minutes, a day, two days, and still can’t make sense of it, maybe that’s simply because it isn’t something you can solve right now, isn’t it?

In short, Gotham Song could do nothing to offer Secretariat a...

New York International Airport.

After who knows how long since leaving America, Gotham Song had suddenly returned again.

How should one describe this situation?

If you told someone, "I need to take a trip abroad," normally they'd assume you had something incredibly important to do, right?

And if you told them you were traveling overseas just to visit a certain anime conv...

In short, the farce finally ended completely, even though Satono Diamond ultimately followed Gotham Song back to Mejiro Manor—

But Mejiro Ramonu descended like a goddess from above, immediately and indisputably sending both Satono Diamond and Vernal Equinox straight back to their rooms.

This development almost brought Gotham Song to tears of gratitude, and then—and then...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [202]

For some reason, it felt like something was definitely about to happen between Vernal Equinox and Satono Diamond…

Was it just my imagination?

From the moment Satono Diamond announced she wouldn’t attend today’s Winner’s Concert, up to the point the four Uma Musume had left the racetrack and begun enjoying the afternoon, about an hour or two had passed.

How to describe ...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [201]

When the sky had barely brightened the next day, Gotham Song found herself unable to sleep at all.

Why?

Probably because Vernal Equinox had hugged her a bit too forcefully in her sleep? Anyway, Gotham Song woke up very early, and after waiting patiently until Mejiro Manor slowly stirred awake as well, finally set her feet on the ground and started to wash up and change, preparing fo...

Eventually, Van Gogh fell silent on the other end of the phone.

Or perhaps, after hearing Gotham Song’s encouragement, she gradually understood exactly what she needed to do next—and then, as if suddenly finding her strength again, she gave her reply:

“I’m going to keep on running! It doesn’t matter if I’m an idiot or not. In fact, isn’t it better for idiots to not car...

“Who does Song think will win?”

“Ah…who will win, huh? That’s really a tricky question to answer.”

When the two of them watched the race, naturally there wasn't any tension at all. Not because Gotham Song didn't care about Van Gogh or Haya of Stars; rather, watching through the television instead of being at the track itself genuinely diminished the tension, leaving a re...

Symboli Rudolf seemed utterly unsurprised by Gotham Song’s answer. She didn't say anything more, casually shifting the conversation to unrelated topics after receiving that reply.

Then, Gotham Song and Neo Universe said goodbye to Symboli Rudolf and Tokai Teio, returning to their ordinary day.

Of course, Tokai Teio had really wanted to tag along with Gotham Song, but—

Thou...

The path to saving the world was astonishingly simple…

Alright, upon stepping into Snack Street, Gotham Song realized with deep regret that she'd arrived too late.

All the familiar shop signs along the street had changed, entirely replaced by names Gotham Song had never seen before.

Well… specifically, she meant the buffet restaurants, not all the eateries.

After all...

Gentildonna’s Winner’s Concert was terrifyingly successful. Actually, it wasn't until Gotham Song had watched the whole performance that she fully realized something.

Gentildonna, coming from such a prestigious lineage, seemed to be adept at all sorts of dances. Or rather, she had simply poured enough hard work into it. After all, Gentildonna was the kind of Uma Musume who would dedic...

Only One Year Left—I'll Become a Legendary Uma Musume! 2 [195]

A rose-colored brilliance erupted, strong enough to scatter the sun itself—crushing every fool who dared block her path. In that instant, Donna’s speed soared dramatically, shattering her previous limits. This Uma Musume, once restrained by her greatest disadvantage, now demonstrated an utterly impossible surge, ascending instantly to unparalleled heights.
