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

Is it... really that simple?

Just get through this last little bend.

After getting through the bend, I still had a lot of energy left.

This stamina even allowed the East Sea Emperor to make a second sprint on the final straight after the bend, thus securing his victory in the race.

In this way, they won more than just the gold medal.

Moreover, it is very likely that the gap will be huge, a great victory for the Emperor of the East Sea!

Perhaps it's because I no longer need to make decisions, so I naturally let my body make all the judgments and act simultaneously.

Today's Emperor of the East Sea, the thoughts of this genius little girl.

They seem to be a little less focused on the game.

We are about to pass the bend.

However, there was a problem with the view in front!

That was the destination I was gradually drifting away from...

Eh? !

Huh?!

Why?!

After all, it relies on bodily memory.

In the eyes of the Emperor of the East Sea, the ability to grasp the various situations on the curves should mean being able to detect anything amiss immediately and make corrections.

She had indeed noticed something was wrong.

However, this so-called "first time" seems to be a little late.

At that very moment, she was on the inside of the track, in the midst of her shock.

The elegant figure that followed later calmly passed by the Emperor of the East Sea.

Then he easily surpassed her...

Just as the East Sea Emperor was going from turning the corner to being overtaken by the Golden Victory.

All that happened in between was a very short time, passing in the blink of an eye.

"Circular...circular arc acceleration through cornering?!"

The time was short.

However, the details that occurred while cornering were unknown to the spectators outside.

Compared to the contestants, they were the ones who could see things more clearly.

Unfortunately, this was a practice match, not an official competition.

Lacking detailed footage of high-speed motion, they can only judge what is happening based on their limited understanding.

For example, the minor mistakes made by the East Sea Emperor when cornering, due to imperfections in the cornering.

The mistake, or rather the shortcoming, was that she completely abandoned the inner track, and her whole body was inevitably deflected by her own centrifugal force, causing her to run towards the outer track.

For example, when Golden Victory is cornering, it is practically unaffected. He can even utilize the spin force as a textbook example to achieve additional relative acceleration in addition to his own speed.

A perfect, smooth curve around the corner!

Therefore, the slight gap that had arisen between the two after the East Sea Emperor's sprint was reduced by the fact that Golden Victory passed the corner perfectly and continued to accelerate.

The speed and distance difference between the two has been completely neutralized.

They have achieved true parity!

At this moment, only three hundred meters remain until the end of the race!

The East Sea Emperor has completed the turn and made adjustments, and is preparing for a second sprint.

The enemy she now faces is a pure white horse girl who has already reached an astonishing level of speed without needing to sprint.

But just as the Emperor of the East Sea was shocked to find that he had been overtaken and was about to be far surpassed.

The road ahead, right now!

It's completely cleared!

All that's left is to ignite your belief!

Just unleash everything from the explosive power of those legs!

Apply the last bit of relative deceleration when cornering.

She adopted a strategy of retreating to advance in order to achieve the sprint preparation movement she had practiced countless times.

Slow down slightly.

I adjusted my posture a little more.

And then—

Second sprint!!!

Just as the Emperor of the East Sea stepped back onto the grass, preparing to use a powerful push as an ignition burst for his sprint,

Right at that moment.

An extremely unpleasant feeling is now eroding me!

Are they here?!

But I've already taken precautions!

At that moment, she did not recklessly continue to sprint.

Instead, like a dazzling dance on stage, it nimbly continues to move forward normally.

After taking two steps forward.

The effects of the momentum technique have diminished from the initial, brief discomfort to a negligible degree.

They no longer possess any qualifications that could influence the sprint!

At this moment, Golden Victory was only slightly shorter than the Emperor of the East Sea, by less than a horse's length.

It's not enough to say it's a complete overtaking that lays the foundation for victory, let alone leaving anyone behind.

It seems that they have found their own way of responding, even when both sides are moving at relatively equal speeds.

The Emperor of the East Sea seemed to sense that his opponent's face had moved slightly.

Perhaps it was surprise, or perhaps it was anger.

Of course, it could also be approval or annoyance?

I don't know, I'm not sure...

Let's ask them properly after we win the game!

The third step was a lightning-fast, powerful push backward!

The sprint was successfully executed once again!!!

......

"It's over..."

Rudolf's symbolism seems to have foreseen the final outcome resulting from the accumulation of all the detailed differences between the two sides.

However, in order to ensure her victory, she was quite certain that if this pure white horse girl were to be caught up by the Emperor of the East Sea at this moment.

Then she must have used momentum and technique to hinder the sprint more than once.

However, these effects must be properly controlled to prevent them from becoming so great that the Emperor of the East Sea would be unable to cope and risk a loss of speed.

With her masterful micro-management, Golden Victory's goal was to create a nearly evenly matched game that would leave a lasting impression on both the audience and the Emperor of the East Sea himself.

For a prodigy who hasn't even debuted yet, this was a match where she almost completely performed and handled the situation perfectly.

A truly exhilarating match!

......

In that extremely short period of time, there was no longer any interference from the Golden Victory.

At this moment, the sprint for the Emperor of the East Sea has begun once again!

Second sprint!!!

Her speed increased again as her leg muscles responded!

Her figure is approaching, or even foreseeable.

Catch up, then surpass the golden victory!!!

Right?

Right...?

However, two seconds had already passed after the sprint...

No way...

Didn't they close the distance?!

The brown-haired horse girl instantly realized this somewhat despairing truth.

Despite being hindered by the golden victory, he still managed to launch his second sprint.

But the problem is...

The distance between himself and Senior White Disaster never narrowed again.

They faced the predicament of still being nearly three horse lengths behind in the middle section, yet the gap between them could not be quickly narrowed or even surpassed.

The Emperor of the East Sea could only burn his remaining strength, struggling somewhat helplessly to narrow the gap.

Then, watching that graceful figure running ahead, I continued to stay in front of myself...

She seemed to understand what the other person had just said.
