Uma Musume no Nama no Nichijou (Horse Girl), First and foremost

Humming a song as I washed up, I quickly got myself into the rhythm of a new day.

If you calculate the time, three days have passed since we set off.

Fortunately, the Golden Youth Tournament is held on Friday afternoon.

When they set off in the morning, they basically just asked the school for leave that day.

It's only Sunday, so it doesn't affect the fact that this East Sea Emperor, who loves going to school, can participate in the activities at Treson Academy.

"I'm kind of looking forward to the new experiences at school."

I have a new trainer, and more importantly, teammates who can compete with me and even reliable seniors.

These things were undoubtedly new to the Emperor of the East Sea, and they made him eager to get to know them better.

As for the two days I spent in Kasamatsu?

Hmm... it probably left behind memories with a bit of complicated meaning, right?

I'm not quite sure whether these things are good or bad, but for someone with her lively personality, the scene of making a scene is ultimately more interesting than scary.

Soon, the intercom in the hotel room rang.

"Hello? Oh, it's the student council president. I just got up and am washing up now. I'll get ready in a bit. Okay, okay, I'll make sure I didn't bring anything~"

"Okay, okay, goodbye, President~"

After ending his call with Rudolf, the Emperor of the East Sea, who had picked up the long microphone, suddenly felt that life had become even sweeter.

"Ugh......"

"Oh dear, it's a bit of a shame that the student council president doesn't live on campus often. She just sleeps at the student council's place occasionally, so it's basically impossible for her to have this kind of interaction..."

With this thought in mind, the Emperor of the East Sea became somewhat interested and, after considering a reason, dialed the other party back via internal number...

"Hey! Good afternoon!"

The energetic white horse girl, Golden Victory, looked at the student council members and then greeted them.

After resting in the afternoon, the group from the Central Committee prepared to return to the Central Committee.

Everyone, including those who planned to stay at Kasamatsu Tresen Academy, came to bid farewell to Golden Victory and the others.

However, there was clearly one less person in the crowd today.

"Oh? Representative Qianming went back first, right?"

The emperor did not react much to the absence of Qianming's representative.

After all, the two sides would occasionally meet for official business, and their relationship wasn't particularly good; at most, it was just that they were from the same prestigious family.

If we're really going to be honest, Rudolph Symbol was one of the culprits who indirectly ruined the Triple Crown Girl's subsequent racing record, so the two sides couldn't possibly be on good terms.

If it weren't for the fact that the even more hated Golden Victory had appeared before Representative Chiaki earlier, it's possible that the one who caused the earlier dispute was her and Rudolf Symbol.

Of course, at most it's just a cold look and a few sarcastic remarks, and like before, picking on the other person's minor flaws...

Upon hearing Rudolf's sudden question, Golden Victory grinned and offered his answer:

"Yes, after all, she couldn't wait any longer. I mean, Chiaki said she had some things to take care of at the Horse Girl Association and decided to go back first. After all, our return trip doesn't really have much to do with Chiaki's situation."

Furthermore, the location of the Uma Musume Association, where Chiaki is located, is much closer than that of Central Treisen Academy and Kasamatsu Treisen Academy. The student council and the Uma Musume Association also have necessary interactions, in addition to the relationship we have now established with her.

Well, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future!

After answering that question, she looked at everyone, then frowned slightly and asked the current question with a hint of annoyance:

"Speaking of which, if there are a few more people coming back now, the car might not be big enough to fit everyone, right? Are you planning to squeeze in?"

Golden Victory was referring to the fact that after their group left Central Teresen Academy, three more people appeared on their way back.

In addition to Oguri Hat, Tamamo Cross, and her trainer Komiyayama, there is now Oguri Hat.

Oh right, and also Mi Yu, the petite black-haired horse girl who sneaks over on the weekend to see Golden Victory. We should also remember this girl.

Well, as for Ginjiro Rokuhou, who is also a Central Trainer, after returning to Kasamatsu and accepting the team's mission, he chose to stay and take charge of teaching Kitahara and Shibasaki.

According to him, if an already stupid idiot continues to waste time figuring out the exam rules on their own, then the already slim chance of passing the Central Trainer Exam will become even more impossible.

If it weren't for the importance of seeing off the central government delegation, this elderly man, who had already taken up the teaching post, wouldn't have planned to let the two of them come to participate in the farewell.

"Uh...we came by hitchhiking, we didn't drive. If it's really inconvenient for the student council, we can just go back the way we came."

Although transportation costs in Japan are not low, fortunately, Kasamatsu Tresen Academy is not far from railway public transportation, and Central Tresen Academy can also use public funds to cover such expenses.

After thinking about it for a while, Komiyama quickly came to this conclusion.

"Well, that's all we can do for now. We forgot to consider your return journey, which is indeed an oversight on our part as the student council."

But after that, Rudolf symbolically turned his attention to Miyu, who was also a Central Racehorse Girl:

"However, Mi Yu came alone, so it might be inconvenient for her to return. Why don't she come with us and hitch a ride?"

Well, it's possible to squeeze in one more person, but if the number increases to three, it would definitely be too difficult and impractical.

"Um... okay, thank you, President! Sorry!"

She had secretly come here hoping to get along well with Golden Victory, but she never expected that once the banquet started, she would end up being drunk by this caring senior whom she regarded as an older sister.

Yes, it was food that was being fed, which made Mi Yu, who didn't eat much, feel very uncomfortable when she recalled what happened yesterday.

"As for Oguri-chan, you probably still have some things to take care of. Just come before the school registration time. Of course, we would be happy to help if you need to come to Central Teresen Academy earlier."

With that, the student council president revealed a gentle smile: "Welcome to Central Teresen Academy, Oguri Hat, the horse girl with the gooseneck."

"Uh, um!"

Not knowing how to answer in this situation, Oguri paused for a moment before replying, "I will go to the central government."

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but find Oguri Hat's straightforward personality somewhat amusing...

Soon, because they needed to transfer to the relatively complicated Tamamo Cross and Komiyayama trains, they left Kasamatsu Tresen Academy ahead of everyone, seeing them off.

"Hey! Two little devils! See you later at Central Teresen Academy!"

"Okay! See you later." "It really will be later before I see you here."

Hearing Tamamo Cross's spirited reply, he responded in a manner reminiscent of Oguri Hat.

However, Fujimasa, who still needed to stay in the local competition for a while, looked helpless but also a bit more determined when faced with this answer from his new friend.

Even if the two of them reach the central government, they may never have another chance to fight.

But she believed she could continue running and achieve the same glory as Tamamo Cross.

Shine brightly on your own sandy arena!

......

A little more time passed after Tamamo Cross and her trainer left.

The student council will take care of all the remaining matters that Kasamatsu needs to handle personally today.

During this time, Kasamatsu's horse girls got along very well with the racehorse girls who were preparing for Golden Victory at Central Teresen Academy.

Especially the chestnut-haired horse girl, Shining Glory, perhaps because of her height and the sense of recognition she received as a mentor to Golden Victory.

Even though other female fans who don't know her well mainly see her role as being in the logistics department, at this stage everyone can still happily play together without worrying about that.

Simply put, we are all part of a team.

As for Shining Glory's unspoken identity as a racehorse girl, that's something she hasn't explicitly mentioned.

The main concern is that the other party will have more reservations about me or even treat me differently after hearing this.

For example, disrespecting the profession of horse racer...

Ultimately, the gap between racehorse girls and ordinary horse girls, even if they can get along happily, means that the latter will mostly still feel a bit inferior unless they can prove themselves...

The relationship between the two must proceed gradually, and only the passage of time can gradually ease the inherent distance between them.

Now, it is time for the central delegation to officially return home.

"Alright, we're almost ready to leave."

"I've said everything that needed to be said and explained everything that needed to be explained, so there's no need for parting gifts."

Even at the moment of parting, and even though the two sides wouldn't see each other for a while, Golden Victory's tone was more relaxed and filled with longing for returning to the center to show his skills.

After all, everyone is striving towards their own goals.

There's no need to feel sad because of this distance.

"I'll visit you when I have time, Golden Victory. I feel like the time spent just doing daily training isn't enough."

In Fujimasa's opinion, the chances of Golden coming over after his victory are slim, so it would be more appropriate for her to go there on her own initiative.

After all, at Central Treson Academy, the number of racehorse girls under this pure white horse trainer will only increase in the future, and the time available for her will only become more and more limited.

Therefore... she must seize the moment!

The goal of Fujimasa March is not a victory for Tokai Darby.

Since she intends to compete with other Central Racehorse Girls on the Central Sands track, she will naturally not be satisfied with her current strength.

She needs to become stronger.

Then go higher and farther.

All this is so that I can repay the benefactor who made me who I am today.

This is true now, and it will be even more so in the future.

"Welcome! Just letting you know in advance, we can arrange overnight accommodations for you!"

As she spoke, she also instructed Oguri Hat: "Hurry up and come over when you've packed your things. The central stage won't wait for any racehorse girl."

"No matter how talented she is, or how much everyone expects of her, you understand?"

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of the East Sea scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, realizing that what he had done earlier was indeed a bit immature.

Even Mi Yu, the humble black-haired horse girl who skipped class twice during the selection process, couldn't help but lower her head in shame and start playing with her fingers after hearing these words.

The two petite girls' eyes met, their faces beaming with smiles.

"Alright, the remaining guys will have six judges to keep an eye on them. At most, I'll submit my previous notes later. The rest is up to your own brains and fighting spirit."

"Okay, Miss Golden Victory!" "I will definitely try my best!"
