Anime: Desolate Darkness

A quarter of an hour later, the exciting horse racing session finally began!

Kimura Takumi and Yuba Lee sat upright in their seats. Unlike Kimura Takumi who looked calm and composed, Yuba Lee looked a little too nervous and excited.

She held the telescope tightly in her hand, staring at the group of heroic horses at the starting line, her eyes revealing her anticipation for the race.

At the referee's command, the fence was opened, and the riders waved their whips, driving their mounts out like arrows, raising a cloud of dust.

Unfortunately, the number 4 chosen by Takumi Kimura did not get off to a good start.

The entire race was 1500 meters, and less than 300 meters in, it fell behind to the second-to-last place.

Kimura Takumi remained calm about this, but sweat appeared on his forehead.

If you ask why, it is because he is now driving his own dark energy to attach to the four legs of horse number four.

Without transformation, using energy over long distances is also a challenge for him.

As the competition became more intense, Yuba Lee became more and more excited. She couldn't help but stand up and cheer for Takumi Kimura's horse.

Whenever Horse No. 4 surpassed other competitors, she would shout with ecstasy; but when Horse No. 4 encountered difficulties or fell behind, she could not help but sweat and look worried.

Under such circumstances, horse number four managed to run to fifth place in front of many people's shocked gazes.

At this moment, there are only 500 meters left to the finish line.

Yuba Li looked back at Kimura Takumi and saw that his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks and soaked his collar.

Thinking that the other party was worried that the number four he chose would lose the game, she sat down quietly and put her right hand on the other party's left hand, hoping to comfort him.

Kimura Takumi, who was concentrating on controlling his own abilities, did not expect Yuba Lee's move at all. He was stunned when he suddenly felt the warmth on his hand.

He raised his head in confusion, and his eyes met with Yuba Li's, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Yuba Li felt a little uncomfortable with his serious gaze, her pretty face turned red, she withdrew her right hand and turned her head away.

Seeing this, Kimura Takumi was too lazy to pay any more attention to it and turned his attention back to the field.

"What is number 9 doing?! It seems that number 8 has just started to exert its strength! It has surpassed number and number in one breath!!!"

"No! This isn't over yet!! It's still speeding up!!"

With the help of Kimura Takumi's ability, horse number four jumped to third place, shocking the director.

In the end, horse number 6 surpassed horse number by one step and became the strongest dark horse in this game.

The number 7 supported by Yuba Li only won the seventh place in this competition, which corresponds to his own number.

"Kimura!!! We won!!!"

The emotionally excited Yuba Lee completely forgot about the embarrassing situation just now and hugged Kimura Takumi beside him.

Kimura Takumi was at a loss. According to the odds of No. 4, she had at least earned a few small goals, but what did that have to do with Yuba Lee? Why was she so excited?

The scene changed and the two returned to Chiba.

As expected of Tokyo's largest racecourse, they have plenty of money.

After verifying the bets placed by Kimura Takumi, he immediately transferred the money into the bank card number he provided and warmly invited him to play again next time.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Along the way, Yuba Lee stared at Kimura Takumi, and he finally couldn't help but ask.

Yuba Lee, who was sitting in the back seat, spoke his true feelings without hiding anything, "Kimura! You! You made my dream come true in my first horse racing bet!!"

“Isn’t this too outrageous?!”

Her tone was extremely excited. She jumped up, grabbed Kimura Takumi's shoulders tightly with both hands from behind and began to shake him.

"Your dream?" Kimura Takumi asked puzzledly.

"That's right! My dream is to use a sum of money to bet on horses. With my keen insight and excellent judgment, I can accurately select the horse with the most potential, eventually win the championship, and become an enviable billionaire in one fell swoop!" Yuba Li Yue became more and more excited, and his voice unconsciously rose by octaves.

As she spoke impassionedly, she let go of Kimura Takumi and held her hair tightly with both hands. "I have put in so much effort and hard work to realize this great dream! I have studied horse racing information and analyzed race data day after day... I never thought that you would achieve it so easily in the end!!! Is this what is called fate? Fate really plays tricks on us!!"

At this point, Youba Liyue was like a deflated ball. He slumped in his seat with a blank look in his eyes, as if he had completely despaired of life and had lost all motivation.

Based on this, how much did you lose in total?

Kimura Takumi complained in his heart.

Besides, he didn't believe that given the other party's situation, he would really stop after winning once.

Normal gamblers will continue to play after winning, wanting to win more, until they lose everything.

What's more, for someone like her, who would work hard to make money and continue gambling even if she lost all her money, she would definitely not end her gambling career because of one victory.

The vehicle slowly drove through a quiet park. Kimura Takumi was focused on the road ahead and did not notice a familiar face in the park.

And this person is exactly the mysterious middle-aged man that Kimura Takumi entrusted the Yamada Group to look for for several days in vain!

He stood there quietly, his eyes casually sweeping over Kimura Takumi's car, then quickly shifted his gaze back to the group of children next to them.

The children happily surrounded a little ant that had lost its way and separated from the colony, with innocent smiles on their faces.

Holding all kinds of toy cars and toy shovels, they teased the poor little creature to their heart's content, forcing it to wander around in the limited space.

The little ant was terrified, but unable to escape the children's "clutches" and could only be manipulated helplessly.

The middle-aged man silently watched everything in front of him, expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking...

……

His gaze shifted to Nanamiya Chione.

After using the [Wings of Stone] to recover from her injuries, she came to an ordinary noodle restaurant through the contact information left by the Mefilas.

"This way." As soon as she walked into the door, Hongo Kishima, a human transformed from the Mefilas sitting next to her, waved at her.

As soon as Nanamiya Chiyin sat down, it said very politely: "What do you want to eat? This time I'll treat you."

Nanamiya Chione was very surprised by its friendly and enthusiastic attitude. After all, just a few hours ago, the two of them were fighting hard on the battlefield.

Faced with such a huge contrast at this moment, she couldn't help but feel confused, but she still politely ordered a bowl of ramen.

After the ramen was served, the two finally started their formal conversation.

Nanamiya Chie was the first to ask the question that had been lingering in her mind: "Why did you look for me?"

Hongo Kishima seemed to have anticipated this question. He blurted out without any hesitation: "Because you seem to be easier to communicate with."

The answer was concise and clear yet seemed a little too straightforward, leaving Nanamiya Chione at a loss as to how to respond for a moment.
