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

They are the key group supporting the entire horse racing series.

It's as if there's no second or third, especially not a third.

So, the title of first place in the competition seems rather dull and boring.

Without the top and mid-range talents among these racehorses serving as foils...

So, in each high-reward race, the girls who enter the race only finish the race and receive the prize money, and then the top three go on stage to perform the current situation of the race.

The honors one receives are only earned by the winners; otherwise, there is no real difference between them, so naturally, one cannot derive a sense of superiority from others.

This trend of comparison is not a good thing for the entire horse racing community, in the eyes of Golden Victory, but it is something that must exist under the current circumstances.

I have no money, no fame, no desire to compete, and most importantly, I lack the kind of powerful strength that makes the first three factors irrelevant.

How many female racehorses are truly the kind of people who just want to enjoy the thrill of racing on the track?

"Inhale—"

It replaced all the air that had accumulated in my lungs.

The pure white horse girl's displeasure upon seeing the county was immediately expressed in her words:

"Well, while a competition should naturally determine a winner, the kind of situation where someone is unwilling to relinquish their position because they've already secured a high spot, and someone below has to go to great lengths to climb up, requiring not only skill but also a bit of luck..."

"This state of affairs, even now, no, especially now."

"These things do seem rather tragic..."

Finally, with a slight sigh, he softly shared his summary and reflections.

As the pure white horse girl expressed a slightly sentimental mood, a slightly teasing voice responded to her words.

"Instead of worrying about others, you should worry about yourself first, White Disaster."

"The student council has been working hard to improve these issues, but the general trend and the situation in the Makoto fandom can be described as deeply ingrained and difficult to change."

"All we can do for now is promise to do our best."

"Do your best... Hey, our caring and considerate student council president Rudolf, have you comforted Emperor-chan yet?"

The speaker is a symbol of Rudolf.

“This child doesn’t need my comfort; what she needs more is someone to explain why she failed.”

She shook her head slightly, her tone more of a denial of Golden Victory.

The tone of the other party's words was dismissive, as if they were treating the Emperor of the East Sea as a junior who liked to rely on others.

"I witnessed everything that happened between you, White Disaster, and the Emperor in this practice match. But the problem is, even with the Emperor's personal trust in me as a spectator, it would definitely be better to have you, the opponent in the match, provide the answers."

Of course, the choice still needs to be made in order of priority.

It was as if someone had answered 90% of the questions that the East Sea Emperor had about the details of the match.

The remaining 10% will be answered by Kim Jong-un himself.

This action, besides increasing credibility, is more about establishing her status and authority as a trainer.

This will also reduce the time the student council president will spend dealing with the Imperial Palace and being unable to handle official duties in the future...

Yes, it's definitely not because I find it annoying or anything.

At most, it's the feeling of helplessness towards those clingy juniors who disrupt one's daily life.

As for how the imperial princess became so adept at handling the situation when facing the emperor of the East Sea...

Don't ask, the answer is reflection and learning!

If asked again, he would say that he had done similar things before!

This also means that Rudolph nowadays maintains a certain distance when facing a certain unnamed senior, the Horse Girl.

She even resorted to self-hypnosis, telling herself that she came from a prestigious family and therefore the two of them shouldn't get too close.

Thanks.

He grinned, and roughly understood the surface thoughts and some of the ideas of this thoughtful junior.

She was happy to accept the other party's kindness:

"On another note, what are your thoughts on Emperor-chan's performance in this practice match? I mean, the serious kind."

Hearing the serious answer given by the other person despite their relaxed expression, Rudolf slowly composed himself, abandoning the casual demeanor that suggested a relaxed conversation between the two.

She glanced briefly at the commenter.

Even though Di Bao received the president's concern after her defeat, she was still in a low mood.

However, out of consideration for her image, she is currently doing gentle stretching exercises as a cover-up.

However, the child would occasionally pout, putting on a pitiful, aggrieved expression.

The resentment and grievance revealed in this scene were so palpable that even the Empress's daughter, who was used to seeing her descendants fail, couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her.

"Rudolph?" "Huh?! Ah, cough cough cough, sorry, I was thinking about something just now."

Suppressing unnecessary emotions, Rudolf stroked his chin with his fingertips and then gave his answer:

"Judging from her overall performance on the field, as a newcomer who has not yet debuted, I would definitely give her a high score."

"However, I also understand that what you, Bai Zai, are asking for is a personal evaluation of this match based on the standards that an emperor of the East Sea should have."

"If we really want to point out any shortcomings, there are definitely some. For example, the Empress's attitude towards the competition is a bit too vague. This is accurately reflected in her performance on the field, where she is easily led by the nose by Bai Zai's various actions."

Hearing this analysis, Golden Victory became somewhat interested:

"Oh? Tell me more, after all, as a participant, I may not be as insightful as you are as an observer."

"Alright, take it as a reference."

After giving the other party a buffer, Rudolf symbolically stated her judgment:

"About a minute into the middle of the match, the Emperor's rhythm became disordered. Although the Emperor forced herself to focus her attention by sprinting, it still showed her weakness in this area."

"It can only be said that she still has a long way to go to transform from a talent-based player into a true technical powerhouse. Right now, the biggest problem should be how to cultivate her competitive awareness."

At this point, she paused slightly before quickly adding, "Of course, you are the trainer and have the authority to decide on the Emperor's training. I am merely offering suggestions."

"Hey, don't worry about it. How could our good relationship be affected by something so small?"

The gesture of politeness towards Rudolf symbolizes this additional act of courtesy made out of concern for not offending the other party.

While feeling slightly relieved after his victory, Huang Jinsheng still had to say some polite words.

"As for the issue of competitive awareness you mentioned, I had noticed it to some extent before. For example, the fact that Di Bao deliberately held back in the third round of the selection competition to close the gap with other contestants is, to some extent, a manifestation of insufficient competitive awareness."

Eh?

To be honest...

Today's show is somewhat similar to the one at the Imperial Palace last time, isn't it?!

"Hmm, I heard it mentioned by the student council members before."

"Originally, I had planned to mention this in case the Emperor joined a trainer team or worked alone with a trainer, but then she just stayed with you, White Disaster, and I got busy and accidentally forgot about it."

Upon hearing Rudolf's symbolic response, Golden Victory quickly reined in his wandering thoughts and gave his reply:

"Well, to be honest, it's not so bad. The only problem is that the child doesn't understand everything, which means he just can't find his way."

"After all, she hasn't reached the point where she frequently participates in competitions after her debut, so this is understandable, and it's not too late either."

The two of them naturally did not expect the East Sea Emperor to be at the level of a normal racehorse girl preparing for her debut race after passing the selection competition.

Leaving aside the Golden Victory side, Rudolph's symbol is something she remembers very clearly.

The goal that the little pony girl had mentioned when she first appeared before him.

"To cultivate a competitive spirit...?"

"However, for a horse girl who aspires to win three races of the Classic Triple Crown and obtain the title of Triple Crown Racehorse Girl, your so-called time is still a bit tight... Hmm."

She paused briefly at this point, then stopped discussing the topic further.

Rudolph's symbolism suggests that the Golden Victory team's current plans are likely to be reversed, meaning that the East Blue Emperor will probably only start competing for the Triple Crown next year.

only......

They really would be so quick to let local racehorse girls, especially those trained by the racehorse girl Golden Victory, learn about racehorse girls.

The Uma Musume Association let her go so easily.

Then, should we let Oguri Hat successfully participate in the top-level tournament of the classic triple crown?

They may not openly target you, but they can secretly engage in all sorts of underhanded tactics.

As the student council president who knew a little about the methods of the Uma Musume Association, Rudolf was still somewhat worried.

Faced with this, Rudolf symbolized more of a willingness to act than a powerlessness, since he had no way of knowing what they would do before launching the attack.

Even if she knew, at most she could only maintain a neutral and impartial judgment based on the terms of the agreement between the two parties, and then take a slightly protective stance towards the students.

If only we could do more.

That would be a dereliction of duty for a member of the symbol family, for a member of a prestigious family...

"Hey, not bad. If this little one trains for another year, she might be able to challenge for the Autumn Triple Crown earlier than the Classic Triple Crown."

Of course, no matter how exaggerated Golden Victory's words are, he can't possibly intend to actually let the East Sea Emperor participate in the competition and win the Autumn Triple Crown.

Let's set a small goal: win one of the three championships first!

Alright! Time to get back to normal!

I shook my head slightly, trying to clear my head of anything that seemed off.

Golden Victory continues the discussion on the current situation and the symbolism of Rudolph:

"Besides a lack of competitive awareness, what else could it be?"

"Let's go over some of the more detailed parts, so we can have a reference when we train her later."

Responding to the other party with the same high expectations and standards for the East Sea Emperor, Golden Victory casually brought the previous topic back.

The little horse's mother isn't even fully grown yet.

Expecting her to win the G1 tournament right now, even if she is a true genius, is still largely wishful thinking.
