Artist's commentary
[This Might Sting!] Sasami Anshinzawa
"Is this... It's that old scroll of secret acupuncture techniques I borrowed from my master (without permission)! Wow, what a blast from the past! ☆ I never actually finished reading more than half, huh... Let's give it a little look-see."
One must seek the mystic truths of Umamusume yet unveiled.
One must commit to body and heart the weight of their actions.
One must respect experience over talent.
One must resist worldly temptations, and devote themself to training.
One must remember that the needle moves as the heart does, confident or hesista—
"Ah, wait! I almost forgot! I was boiling water for my ramen."
"There, that's the cup noodles all watered up, but... Agh, I've gotta have something around that I can weigh down the lid with... C'mon, c'mon..."
"Oh! I can just use the scroll! Boom, easy! It's nice and heavy, so it should hold the lid down perfectly. Wow, no worry! ☆"
...Three minutes later, Anshinzawa goes to get her ramen, and topples the cup over scroll-first. Not wow, all the worries.
