Picking up from where we left off.
Gold Ship issued her villainous declaration, then strode away.
Although Gold Ship is not good at starting, she was confident that with her foot speed, at this distance, even Oba-chan wouldn't be able to catch her. This was the reason she dared to jump out and make the declaration.
And then she was caught.
She hadn't even managed to run a few steps when she saw her dear Oba-chan pull out a rope from who knows where, and like a cowboy, threw the lasso onto her, precise and elegant.
"Ah, this... Oba-chan, when did you learn how to lasso horses?"
I've only seen this scene in anime!
Gold Ship looked at the rope on her body, lying on the ground like a salted fish, puzzled from the bottom of her heart.
By the way, where did this rope come from?
"There are still many things you don't know." Gold Legend said with a dark face, her expression unkind, "You've really grown up and your wings have hardened. Who gave you the courage to provoke me? Fish Leong?"
Stepping on Gold Ship with one foot to keep her from wriggling, Gold Legend began to search her for the key.
"Eek, Oba-chan, don't touch strange places, it's ticklish."
"Shut up, who the hell knows where you'd put the key?"
Don't I know what people from the Gold Family are like?
Legend continued to grope her expressionlessly, and finally managed to fish the key out from her chest.
"As expected, you really dared to put it there."
"Waaah, I'm not pure anymore."
Gold Ship cried mockingly.
"Alright, now it's time to deal with your business. Daring to do something like this, I suppose you've already prepared yourself?"
Gold Legend squatted down in front of Gold Ship like a hoodlum, her face expressionless in the backlight. Gold Ship felt as if she were seeing the Shura hell.
"...Um, Oba-chan, there are outsiders watching, this isn't good for your image."
Gold Ship was starting to panic.
"Hmm?"
Gold Legend only then remembered that Rice Shower seemed to still be watching.
Turning her head to look, she saw Rice Shower trembling on the side, tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Be a good girl, Little Rice. Can you step away for a moment? Big Sister has some private matters to handle."
Keeping her squatting posture, Gold Legend squeezed out a seemingly kind smile and said to the trembling Rice Shower.
"?! Okay, okay, Big Sister, Rice Shower will leave right now!"
Rice Shower was startled and left in a flurry, muttering as she left: "Rice Shower didn't see anything, doesn't know anything!"
It was like self-hypnosis.
Gold Ship, seeing her hope about to drift away, opened her mouth.
And then she was physically silenced by the quick-handed Gold Legend.
She could only watch helplessly as the light of hope departed.
"Finally, Golshi, for the sake of our aunt-niece relationship, do you have anything else to say?"
Legend smiled, like a spring breeze blowing, a hundred flowers blooming.
That smile was so gentle and lingering, like the sunshine of a spring day, warm and bright.
"There is only darkness before my eyes..."
Gold Ship's eyes were hollow, her voice hoarse.
Gold Ship, deceased.
...
After handing over Gold Ship's corpse (mistake) to Rice Shower, who was waiting in the distance, and asking her to help send the person back to the dormitory, Gold Legend came to the resort map in the public area and analyzed the current situation.
Thanks to the funds provided by Gold Legend, the location chosen for Tracen Academy's summer training camp this time was also very luxurious.
Not only were there suite villas, but also various leisure and entertainment facilities, with complete equipment.
Therefore, its area was not small.
The layout of the entire resort was circular, arranged in layers, with distinct levels.
The location of the broadcasting room was next to the garden in the center of the resort, while Gold Legend was currently on the outermost floor used for offices by the sea.
"First is the route..."
From here to the broadcasting room, the places that need to be passed...
Gold Legend looked at the map and thought rapidly.
Hmm, as expected, there is no direct route.
Then let's do it this way!
Gold Legend drew on her phone.
"Pass by the pool from here, then the shopping plaza, then the cafeteria, and finally the small park in the middle..."
Although it's not a straight line, this is indeed the shortest route.
"Given my current situation, if I want to clarify the rumors, I must arrive at the broadcasting room before the students assemble."
Legend checked the time; it was four o'clock in the afternoon.
"One hour? The time is still quite sufficient."
If planned with the shortest route, this time is more than enough.
"However, Gold Ship surely won't make it too easy for me."
There must be obstacles on the way. Is it a person? Or something else?
"Just to be safe, I'll cut the time in half."
Gold Legend opened the timer on her phone and adjusted it.
Although she didn't know what Gold Ship had prepared, this journey surely wouldn't be easy.
But it didn't matter. The most troublesome part had already been nipped in the bud, and no matter how ingenious the remaining traps were, they were just rigid procedures.
I've speed-run through so many Uma Musume, can't I beat a mere pig-head?
"I've had enough of the red tape; it's time to end this farce."
Let's just treat it like an endurance obstacle race.
Standing up, she made her declaration.
"The great wind rises, the clouds are blown away, where can I find brave warriors to guard the four corners of the land!"
"Yoshi! Let's go!"
Striking a classic JoJo pose to steel herself, Gold Legend started the timer.
The race began.
To be continued —>
