All of this, for Suzuka on the track and Special Week in the stands, felt as long as a lifetime. But for everyone else, for the other horse girls on the track, it was just a moment.
No one would have thought that in this instant, Suzuka had seemed to have lived another life. The moment she opened her eyes again, the look in them was completely different from when she had just stepped onto the track.
Her body began to feel imbalanced again, just like the moment before that Tennō Shō (Autumn).
—But she wasn't fractured! She could still feel the power in her legs! She still had a chance to turn this around!
"Bang!"
Just as her body was almost parallel to the ground, using this inertia, she quickly extended her previously fractured left leg! With a touch as light as a dragonfly on water, almost all the pressure was on that left leg!
But at this moment, she had no fear or hesitation. Her eyes could only see the finish line. In her heart, there was only one voice—run!
The memories of the past were still echoing in her mind. She had experienced the pain of not being able to run, the feeling of never being able to run again for the rest of her life—after experiencing all this, the fear of fracture in her mind had long since vanished.
Now, she was more like a nouveau riche who, after getting her wealth back, was spending it retaliatorily. Her left leg, which had completely lost its ability to run in her memory, was now powerful again! Did she have anything to worry about anymore?
Run! Just keep running with this explosive escape! She wanted to run to her heart's content! To the ends of the earth!
Especially—her Trainer-san, he was now watching her live from the stands!
"The view from the front—I will never yield it to anyone!"
Repeating the promise in her heart once again, she had said that she would be his legs, to take him to see the view from the very front! Now, it was time for her to fulfill her promise!
"Silence Suzuka! She's exerting force again!"
And her huge transformation, for all the unsuspecting spectators, they only saw a small, seemingly forceful action, and then she suddenly burst out with her fastest speed! At this moment, with the announcer's excited tone, she turned into a green shooting star, returning to her leading position with an unstoppable speed!
"She's caught up with Taiki Shuttle—no! She's gone around her on the outside! She's passed her on the corner! She's finally back in her explosive escape position!"
"She's in the lead! She's still accelerating! The gap between her and Taiki Shuttle, and the horse girls behind, is still widening! One length! Two lengths!!"
With the announcer's increasingly excited tone, the entire audience was once again ignited by her display of power! They had been waiting for this moment for too long!
Finally, it seemed that everything had returned. Her "explosive escape," which could create a huge gap with almost all other horse girls, that extremely spectacular, almost unbridgeable gap, had returned to the racetrack once again!
"She... actually managed to escape?"
And in the student council office, Rudolf and Palmer could not have imagined that Suzuka, after returning to the track after a long absence, even though she had initially fallen into Taiki Shuttle's rhythm, with just a slight stumble, she seemed to have returned to her former self, once again grasping the trick to her victory.
"No, that's not right. Even the former Silence Suzuka... would never have reached this level!"
"At that moment, she definitely touched the 'Domain'! The realm that only a horse girl who has truly created an era can touch!"
At this time, Rudolf finally saw the change in her on the live broadcast, her expression couldn't help but become serious. Because she knew very well that the former Suzuka was strong, but her strength was only relative. She was lucky that in her era, she hadn't met any particularly monstrous horse girls. Even though she had defeated El Condor Pasa, it was also because her foundation was more solid, and El Condor Pasa was not yet fully grown.
But Rudolf knew very well where her limit was. With her talent, the "Domain," a realm that could instantly make a horse girl's concentration extremely focused and allow her to unleash all her potential within the time it was active, was something she could never touch.
Only a horse girl who had defined an era could possibly reach this realm, such as Oguri Cap, and Rudolf herself, C.B., Palmer... these horse girls, who were the leaders of their era, could possess and master this ability.
Even Tamamo Cross, who actually understood how to use the "Domain," was still limited by her own talent and could not achieve it at will. Just that little bit of difference made it so that she could not be listed among those who had "mastered the Domain." It was conceivable how difficult this realm was to comprehend.
But now, Suzuka had reached it. This really made Rudolf a little incredulous. Could it be that she had benefited from a disaster, and her state of mind after the fracture had risen to a higher level?
No, impossible. She was still afraid of these things before... but there was someone who seemed to have helped her eliminate the influence of her psychological shadow.
"Could it be... Kitano? Because he helped her overcome her state of mind, that's why she broke through her own limits and reached the qualification to touch the 'Domain'?"
Rudolf immediately thought of her childhood friend. And at this thought, she felt that everything seemed to become reasonable... because she felt that if her Kitano could do this, it would not be strange.
"It's just that if he helped her break through her limits... then the nature of the matter is different. She must be able to feel this change. If she understands that it was him who helped her, this little girl who was not much of a threat before might become a potential enemy."
Perhaps I should also pay attention to her and see if, in the future, she will make any moves on her Trainer-san.
Thinking of this, a troubled expression appeared on Rudolf's face... her childhood friend was really excellent, his empathy was simply irresistible... but he was a little too excellent now, like a cake exuding an irresistible fragrance, to the point that she was now having a bit of a headache trying to drive away these "filthy flies."
But Rudolf did not notice that Palmer was now also concentrating on watching the leading Suzuka on the screen. She watched as she broke through herself and reached a higher realm. She was first astonished, but after the astonishment, an extremely interested smile appeared on her face.
"Kitano Ryuichi... you really are a candy that can always bring me surprises."
This candy... just leaving it outside is too much of a waste. If possible, I really want to put this candy in a protective cover that belongs only to our Mejiro family and make it our family's private property.
And Palmer slowly came back to her senses. On the live broadcast, the race was now nearing its end. The all-out Suzuka was the first to pass the right-handed turn, which she was not good at! And now, in front of her, there was only the final straight!
Not just this! I can be even faster!
"Silence Suzuka is in the lead! Taiki Shuttle is still chasing from behind! But she can't close the distance! She still has the strength to accelerate! She's still accelerating!"
"Now she is leading by more than five lengths! Is this gap still widening? There are only 200 meters left!"
"Go—! Suzuka!!"
In the stands, Special Week, who could no longer contain her excitement, roared at her on the track with all her might. Unknowingly, she was already in tears, her voice choked with sobs, but she still held back her excitement and cheered for the heavenly horse on the track!
Finally, she had stepped onto the track again. Finally, this terrifying cycle of fate was completely broken!
Now, no one could restrain her. She had been reborn from the flames!
"She's crossed—the line—! Silence Suzuka! The one who always leads from start to finish! She has won this Mile Championship! And has created a huge gap of seven lengths! Defeating the fellow explosive escape horse, Taiki Shuttle, and proving that with her return after a year, she is still the strongest explosive escape horse girl!"
"Returning to the track after more than a year, the resurrected Silence Suzuka has announced her return with a G1 victory. Let's congratulate her on her miraculous escape!"
Amidst the roaring crowd, the footsteps of the finishing Suzuka did not stop at all. Even though she was panting heavily at this time, the joy of returning to the track after a long time and finally running at full speed again made her not want to stop at all.
She, whose brain had just been flooded with so many memories, was a little worried that all of this was just a dream... but now, all the feelings around her were proving that all of this was not a dream. She had really run again.
And, under his watch... under her Trainer-san's watch...
Suzuka suddenly came back to her senses and subconsciously turned her gaze to his position in the stands—and there, Kitano, in his wheelchair, was already in tears. He looked at the horse girl on the track who made him proud from the bottom of his heart, really back on the track... this miracle of breaking fate, for him, was no less shocking than Tokai Teio's miraculous comeback.
In mid-air, his and her gazes slowly met in the air. At that moment, in their eyes, there was only each other...
