CB's Side
Announcer: "They've rounded the final corner and are now on the final straight course!! Now it's a head-on battle!! A collision of pure power, without any tactics!!!"
Ticle: "OOORAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! Get out of the way, you small-fry!! Your moment is over!!!"
CB: "Oh, full of fighting spirit, are we? But it's just not getting me hyped up~..."
Ticle: "What did you say, you!!!? This is a showdown between me and you!!? Why is your energy so low!?"
CB: "Because ever since I drew even with you, I just haven't been in the mood."
Announcer: "Now, Mr. CB and Eruticle, neither is backing down!! But Mr. CB has a slight lead, perhaps!? Yet Eruticle is desperately clinging on!!"
CB: "Let me ask you something. You called me a small-fry, but did you say that to the other girls too?"
Ticle: "What's wrong with calling a small-fry a small-fry!? Someone beneath me trying to act tough—" "That's enough... Close your mouth." "Huh!?"
CB: "I don't want to hear your voice anymore, so I'm going ahead. And make sure you burn this into your memory. Because this is the run of the 'small-fry' you spoke of!!"
WHOOSH!!!
Ticle: "Ha... huh?"
Announcer: "Incredibly, Mr. CB has sped up again!! Unbelievable!! What an Uma Musume!! After such a long sprint, can she still accelerate!!? Eruticle, in a desperate struggle, tries to catch up, but the gap only widens!! The lead grows before our eyes! Five lengths, six lengths, seven lengths she pulls ahead!!"
She called herself the world's strongest in long-distance, but this was the most boring race ever...
Announcer: "This is already a breakaway!!! Mr. CB is in the lead!! The others are far behind!! No one can catch her now!! She's broken away, broken away, broken away!!! A new legend is born!!! Mr. CB achieves the Triple Crown~!!!!!!"
Phew~... If my opponent had been Certex or Sonarise, it would have been more fun~.
CB: "Haah... haah... Phew~... Oh, this is amazing! ♪"
From the stands, there was an incredible roar of applause and cheers, and when I looked closely, flags with "Triple Crown!!" written on them were being waved. Haha, they believed in me! This makes me so happy! ♪
Certex: "That was amazing, CB!! The Irish Triple Crown!! To think you'd win by widening the gap against that 'Runaway Locomotive,' I'm truly surprised!! Congratulations, CB!!"
Sona: "...Mhm, surprised. Congrats, CB."
CB: "Thank you both, but this race was the most boring I've ever run. The 2000 Guineas and the Derby were many times more enjoyable. If she hadn't been in this race, it would have been more fun~."
Certex: "R-really? But we're so happy you won. Perhaps in our hearts, we were wishing for your victory."
Sona: "...You avenged us."
Lut: "CB, I saw it!! That was truly a magnificent race!! Congratulations on achieving the Triple Crown!!"
CB: "Oh~ Lut~ thank you! ♪"
Sona: "...Just as Lut said, I'm captivated by CB. It was a good run."
Certex: "That's right, I think I understand what Lut meant a little better now."
CB: "That's a bit embarrassing~... Oh, that's right!"
I have to say hello~.
CB: "Honestly, I don't really like doing this, but given everything that's happened, I'm going to say it. How does it feel to lose to the 'small-fry' you spoke of?"
Ticle: "..." Grits teeth!!!!
CB: "Just as my trainer Hachiman said. Overestimating your own strength can lead to disastrous consequences. You literally made a fool of yourself."
Ticle: "You, you...!!!"
CB: "I'm not trying to provoke you. I'm just telling you what Hachiman said, once again... Besides, compared to how many times you've insulted me, this is gentler, isn't it? And this is the last time we'll meet. So then..."
Ticle: "Kuh, guhh...!!!" Gritting teeth!!!!
What an incredibly frustrated face... Feeling a little refreshed! ♪
Hachiman: "CB."
CB: "Tch!! Hachiman!!"
The voice of the person I wanted to see most right now reached me. In front of me, Hachiman was walking towards me.
CB: "Hachiman~!!!" HUG!!!
Hachiman: "Tch... Heh, you did well. Your run today wasn't exactly like you, but it was a good run."
CB: "Mhm mhm, thank you! Ehehe ♪"
Pilsud: "Magnificent, magnificent!! I was not mistaken in recommending your participation in our country's races!! You have achieved such wonderful results!"
Hachiman: "On that point, we must also thank you. If you hadn't recommended it then, CB's talent might have remained buried."
Pilsud: "The thanks are also on our side. Thanks to you, our Irish races will develop even further. And the strength of Japan's Uma Musume will surely echo throughout the world. There were many positive outcomes for both you and us. This was truly a good race."
Hachiman: "...Indeed."
CB: "I'm glad we decided to run in this country."
Hachiman: "Yeah."
Alright, I guess I'll shout a little too~...
CB: "I won Triple crowns~!!!"
CB achieves the Triple Crown of Patriotism!!!
