In September, Polaris Absolute Speed did not participate in any races.
Besides training and recuperation, she also studied French.
For training, she mainly followed Kumi Trainer's arrangements and ran alongside Yuu Mai.
Their joint runs had now been upgraded to a fixed mode where they both wore their race outfits.
After changing back into her black dress, it became noticeably more difficult to withstand Yuu Mai's pursuit.
This was mainly because once Yuu Mai put on her race outfit, she became completely immune to Polaris Glare and aura, truly embodying the spirit of forging ahead fearlessly.
Polaris Absolute Speed now implicitly agreed not to release her aura when running with her, purely relying on her finishing kick to win.
The race distance also increased from the original 1300 meters to 1600 meters, though the interval between runs became once every half-month.
Yuu Mai's stamina was not as abnormal as Polaris Absolute Speed's, so she still needed some time to recover from fatigue.
For recuperation, she mainly received massages and body care, which were basically daily occurrences.
She also went to the hospital for check-ups to see if there were any undetected abnormalities in her legs or other parts of her body.
The good news was that her physical condition was excellent, and the possibility of potential injuries was low.
This was true for both Polaris Absolute Speed and Yuu Mai.
Regarding language learning, after Mother learned of her desire to learn French, she specifically arranged for a teacher to come over.
She was a kind-faced old woman, gentle and patient with others, and loved watching Horse Girls run with vigor.
With her help, Polaris Absolute Speed's progress in mastering French significantly accelerated.
One evening, at nine o'clock, inside the room.
Polaris Absolute Speed had just finished bathing and was sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes gently closed.
Yuu Mai was half-kneeling on the bed, using a hairdryer to dry the former's long hair.
Feeling the smooth touch from her fingertips, and estimating the approximate length, she suddenly spoke:
"Polaris, has your hair grown longer again?"
Not only had it grown longer, but it was also thicker.
"Hmm, but don't worry, it won't affect my normal running."
Polaris Absolute Speed replied softly, her blue hair had already grown past the base of her tail and reached her thighs.
And judging by this trend, it would likely continue to grow, perhaps only stopping after she had fully matured?
After spending some time thoroughly drying her hair, the two Horse Girls sat leaning against each other on the bed.
The air conditioning was set to a comfortable temperature, blankets covered their legs, and they each held their respective chibi plushies.
One was browsing Jun Yu Circle, and the other was watching dance videos.
Polaris Absolute Speed's previous announcement that she would be participating in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe had already spread throughout Japan.
More authoritative TV stations had already begun planning to broadcast the race live on the day, with local commentators and analysts reporting on the race.
Online discussions had not stopped, and audience members with budgets had already booked their flights, waiting to travel to Paris a few days before the race to watch and witness it live.
The popularity of Polaris Glare reached its peak for a time, and it persisted for many days without dissipating.
With no major G1 races taking place domestically during this period, everyone's attention was clearly and uniformly focused.
Time gradually progressed.
At the end of September, Polaris Absolute Speed and Yuu Mai, Head Maid, and Kumi Trainer, among others, arrived in Paris by plane.
They went to survey the racecourse, recounted recent events to Mother, and did some simple sightseeing and recreation.
Soon it was October 6th.
This day was a Sunday, and also the day the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe began.
Needless to say, the spectators had already gathered inside the Longchamp Racecourse before eight in the morning.
Every seat was taken, and even the grandstands were packed with people.
In a private box, Kumi Trainer was a little surprised:
"How amazing, so many spectators, is this... the pinnacle event of the world?"
"Hee hee, although there were many in previous years, it never reached this extent."
Mother sat in a chair, resting her chin on one hand:
"This is all thanks to that child; she not only attracted fans from here but also a large group from Japan."
Head Maid also smiled:
"After all, Young Miss is not only powerful but also very cute, so it's understandable that people love her."
"That statement of yours sounds familiar, but never mind, because it's the truth."
The scene shifted to the 선수 waiting room.
At this moment, Polaris Absolute Speed had already changed into her black dress, waiting only for the broadcast announcing her entry to sound before she could depart.
She had seen the list of competitors beforehand; Rainbow Chaser, as expected, had also come to participate, just as she had said.
It was a pity that besides her, she didn't recognize many of the remaining Horse Girls.
However, this also meant that her Polaris Glare would once again exert its widespread first-strike effect.
This world-peak battle might not be as intense as imagined.
