Chapter Text
MS: I remember the marvelous day that I ran my first race☆★
Childrens Mock Race Organizer: Huh? You want to join last minute?
MS: Yes!☆ Now that I can finally run★I want to run alongside everyone too!☆★
Children's Mock Race Organizer: Hm, but since this race is for bigger kids than you, you might not be able to win, is all....
MS: That's fine with me☆I just wanna run★ because I have a marvelous feeling inside me☆ so please allow it!★☆
Children's Mock Race Organizer: Hm, well... If you insist, then alright.
Big Kid A: Huh? Letting a little kid run with us? Won't she get trampled?
Big Kid B: She's not that little, just one year below us. My mom says she just got out of the hospital, too.
Big Kid B: But it is kinda weird. It's just a mock race. Does she really want to run that badly?
(Flash to the race)
Big Kid A: Huh? Wait, hold on- that kid-
Big Kid B: You've gotta be kidding me! There's no way I'm losing to this kid- Nooooooo!
Event Commentator: Goal! She places first by a whopping 10 lengths! This year's Little Umamusume Race champion is the umamusume with the red ribbon—Marvelous Sunday!
MS: Ahahaha! Marvelous☆★
MS: Running is just so much fun!☆ It was absolutely, positively marvelous!★☆
Big Kid A: Aha... She really looks like she's just happy to be running. And she's crazy fast too!
Big Kid B: Yeah. It's because she was super determined even in a mock race. I couldn't win because I didn't take it seriously enough...
Big Kid B: I've decided! Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna take racing seriously!
-flash forward to present day-
MS: That day, I got so many cheers from everyone☆★
MS: Even the big kids gave me a big smile, and they promised to race me again☆
MS: After the race, everyone was positively Marvelous☆ That's why I became absolutely certain★
MS: Racing is the ultimate means by which to deliver Marvelous to the world, in the most Marvelous possible way☆★☆
With Marvelous Sunday, the days of challenging the Twinkle Series began.
Today, I invited some of her close friends to do joint training with her, but—
MS: Aha!☆Ahahaha★ Ahahahahahahahahaha!☆★
MS: Marvelous☆★☆
MS: Running truly is Marvelous ☆★ Hey, hey, Trainer! Could I do one more lap?!
Mayano Top Gun (MTG): Wait, wait, Marve-chan!
MTG: Haah, haah...
MTG: Good, right on schedule! Way to go, Maya, nice landing~♪
MTG: No, wait!
MTG: It's a pacing practice run, so don't rush ahead! Formation flying is all about staying together, right?☆
Sakura Laurel (SL): Fufu. That's right! Right now, working on our form is more important than speed!
SL: A poor posture can lead to injuries. We should make sure to check our form properly♪
These two umamusume arrived a bit later than Marvelous Sunday and returned to their starting position.
Mayano Top Gun, a girl with astonishing intuition, aiming to debut alongside Marvelous Sunday.
Sakura Laurel, with an inner strength that can't be held down by the weak composition in her legs, and a positive and bright attitude.
MS: Sorry guys★ I just couldn't hold back anymore-
MS: Hey, look at that cloud!☆★
MS: Isn't it totally, absolutely Marvelous?☆★
MS: Hey, you know what? 4.6 billion years ago when Earth was just born, there was no water on the planet!☆★
MS: But then, a miracle happened with astronomical odds☆ After billions of years, rain finally fell★ and from that, the ocean was born☆★
MS: Then, it rained over and over again☆★ seawater evaporated into clouds, then the clouds turned into rain, and returned to the sea to become clouds again☆
MS: That cloud is going to change form again soon. It exists only here and now in the present moment☆ How Marvelous★
MS: We umamusume aren't much different from clouds☆ the "me" that I am right now only exists in this fleeting moment★
MS: That's why I've gotta give it my all without holding back!☆ That's how I'm gonna show the world how Marvelous I am!★☆
Miracles—Happiness—The wonderful surprises of everyday life. The concept of "Marvelous" encompasses all positive sensations in the world.
Her dream is to spread this concept of "marvelous" to the world through racing.
MTG: So- WAIT, no! Even Trainer has been fooled!
MTG: We're training right now, are we not? No cutting in line, no matter how bad you wanna run!
SL: Ahaha, I have to agree with Maya-chan♪ I want both of you to debut safely, so let's avoid overworking ourselves.
SL: I still can't put much load on my legs, so big races are a bit much for me—
SL: But I believe that someday I'll be able to run alongside Marve-chan and Maya-chan in a G1 race!
MS: Laurel~! Of course! I believe in you too-
(Cheers from a crowd)
Umamusume A: Look, look! It's Fuji Kiseki senpai! Is she headed to training now!?
Umamusume B: Hey, over there! Narita Brian senpai and Hishi Amazon senpai! What incredible presence!
Fuji Kiseki (Fuji): Haaaah!
Kyaaaa!
Fuji Kiseki Fan Club Members: Fuji-sama~ you're amazing! We're looking forward to your debut!
Hishi Amazon (HA): Alright, Brian, one more lap! You're not worn out already, are you?
Narita Brian (NB): Of course not. Let's go, Ama-san!
MS: Wawawa, Fuji and friends are absolutely twinkling ☆ They're absolutely Marvelous★
With that, Marvelous Sunday turns her gaze towards the umamusume who will surely stand as formidable rivals moving forward—
Fuji Kiseki, who garnered the most attention in her year's debut class, and aims to inspire people and race as an entertainer, and—
The "monster" Narita Brian, a year above, with overwhelming racing prowess. People say that the Triple Crown isn't just a dream to her anymore.
And then, there's Hishi Amazon, hailed as the "female champion" for her fierce surges and powerful legs that tear through competition.
MS: Once we run in the Twinkle Series, we'll surely become marvelous like that as well, huh☆
SL: That's right. At the moment, I haven't the strength to stand beside you, but someday...
MTG: Copy that! Once Maya debuts, she will be the most twinkly and mature umamusume☆
MTG: Well then~ See ya!
MS: Aaaaah! Let's play tag☆
MS: Ahaha, Ahahahahahahaha-☆★
-time skip-
As this fulfilling joint training session comes to a close, Marvelous Sunday and I make our way up to the rooftop—
SELECTION: How was today's training?
MS: It was suuuuper Marvelous☆
MS: Because, everyone—Maya, Laurel, Fuji, Brian, and Hishiama—They were all sparkling as they chased their dreams☆
MS: You know, the reason everyone sparkles like that is surely because they believe in their own Marvelousness☆
MS: An absolute certainty that you can make your dreams come true☆ That belief in and of itself is Marvelous★
SELECTION: You believe that too, right?
MS: Of course☆ Those who believe are Marvelous★ If you keep an eye out for Marvelous, you can find inner strength you never knew you had☆
MS: So I want everyone to realize how Marvelous the world truly is☆ Just because you have yet to see it doesn't mean it's not there! It's such a huge waste to not appreciate wonderful things★
SELECTION: Let's show that to everyone in the Twinkle Series!
MS: Yeah!☆ If I keep showing my Marvelousness, to everyone else, I'm sure eventually they'll be able to notice their own Marvelousness inside as well★☆
MS: Because—
With that, Marvelous Sunday dashed to the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the racecourse, and then—
MS: Hey, everyone! Listen!! I promise to deliver Marvelous to all of you!!
MS: That is why I started all of this☆ I call it the "World Marvelousification Project"★☆
MS: Step One☆ I must train hard for that powerful, Marvelous running form!
MS: Step Two☆ As my running improves, I'm gonna enter bigger and bigger races!
MS: Step Three☆ Marvelousness will spread worldwide and make everyone happy!★☆★
A group of students walking home from school heard Marvelous Sunday's loud voice, and looked up to the rooftop.
MS: Don't miss it, okay? Keep an eye out for me☆ This is where the World Marvelousification Project begins!★
