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

"Hmm... Next, I should talk about the challenge you gave me when cornering in Emperor Acceleration mode, White Disaster, right?"

"Oh, you figured it out?" "Even if I'm not there, I can roughly guess when you'll give the test questions just by watching the video."

Yes, that's right, it's a test question.

It's an alternative, elegant term used here to refer to the annoying behavior of using aggressive tactics.

"But I think Dibao's performance at that time was alright. The problem was that they weren't focused enough, and they were indirectly affected by our momentum, which prevented them from focusing on using their best methods."

"No, I don't think it has a direct relationship with or a significant impact on game awareness."

Rudolf symbolizes the negation of the victory of gold.

"The root cause is that the emperor himself was not skilled enough at cornering, which led to this situation."

"I don't think I need to change the talent of using physical memory to replace thinking at critical moments."

"The biggest problem is that the Empress's current body does not have enough memory to use the techniques corresponding to the specific details of each match situation."

Upon hearing the expert opinion of the Seven Crowns Girls Association President, who is associated with Rudolph, I realized that this was a symbol of the race.

After thinking about it for a moment, Golden Victory couldn't help but nod in agreement with the other party's statement:

"That makes sense! After all, everyone prefers to surge ahead on the final stretch of the track to win decisively, or to establish a lead from the start and win in a relatively stable manner."

"It can only be said that when Uma Musume faces a bend, it's basically like a student facing those dreadful subjects that they don't like but have to take."

"Only a few people who aren't good at straight-line racing or aren't fast enough would specifically study cornering techniques, right?"

Upon hearing this, the president's eyes held a somewhat enigmatic expression.

We need to know the key point that made the real difference between the two female racehorses in that practice race.

One of them is the absolutely perfect arc curve technique of Golden Victory.

Even with full acceleration, it can make full use of the curves. It's only because the East Sea Emperor races by sprinting that it slightly steals the spotlight from the Pure White Horse Girl.

Well, to be precise, it should be for those with ordinary vision.

Anyway, after taking a look at the shortcomings of the Imperial, Rudolf focused more on the beautiful, almost artistic, cornering racing skills of the Golden Victory.

Of course, this also indirectly demonstrates the advantages that she, as a racehorse girl who also serves as a trainer, possesses that other human trainers do not have.

Golden Victory, though she expressed some disdain for cornering techniques, Rudolph's symbolism revealed the extent of this racehorse girl's immersion in this area.

Hmm... Was she like this before?

It doesn't seem so.

The powerful figure once known as the White Calamity was always accompanied by her aura and aura techniques, which were the core elements that people feared.

However, they often overlook the top-tier qualities that lead to a golden victory, beyond mere momentum and skill, as well as the equally demanding and rigorous training required for various racing techniques...

Lost in her memories, she couldn't help but pause for a moment.

"Rudolph?" There was no response.

"Rudolph?" The pure white horse girl had a wicked idea.

Just as Rudolf was still in the process of reacting.

On this cold morning, my ears, which had become almost numb from the cold, seemed even more sensitive and delicate than usual.

Suddenly, a stimulus came from almost close by.

It appeared beside her ear...

It was a gentle yet captivatingly magnetic voice, which was warm when it got close, and it even touched her earlobe.

The sound focused and condensed, ultimately becoming a captivating sound:

"Luna-chan~"

Before she could even react, her body trembled, and her voice, soft yet deliberately teasing, caught the other person off guard.

She attacked again.

Are you there?

Rudolf's symbol: "?!!!"

With a whoosh, his body tensed up and made a sound.

Upon confirming who it was, she immediately suppressed her instinctive reaction, refraining from striking the source with her clenched fist and half-raised leg.

Yes, the one making these annoying moves was none other than Golden Victory, who was chatting with me just now.

But for some reason, after Rudolf symbolically stopped, he had a fleeting thought.

Want to take advantage of the other party's unpreparedness...

Let's give Golden Victory a taste of what it's like to catch people off guard!

But now she can't bring herself to do such a thing.

At this moment, Luna was filled with overwhelming regret...

"Hey, what's up? I called you because I saw you seemed to be spacing out earlier, Rudolf."

Looking at Rudolf's symbol, whose complexion was slightly flushed under the cold morning sky, Golden Victory's slightly flippant question seemed more like a unique form of teasing.

"Uh, no, it's nothing, my bad. I was just thinking about something important and pondering it for a bit. Cough cough cough cough, the weather is really cold, phew!"

Her tone and movements were very smooth and she could even finish them easily. Her whole demeanor made it seem as if she was just pretending to be nervous.

If it weren't for the fact that the other person's dazed look was so memorable, Golden Victory would probably have slightly doubted whether Rudolph was impersonating him.

"Then, do you have any other suggestions?"

That's all for now. I think you can figure out the rest through your own discussion.

Since the Emperor of the East Sea has already taken the best measures, there is no need to mention Rudolf's symbol again.

Let the two horse girls involved in the race find a private place to reflect on the remaining details...

As she spoke, the Empress skillfully pulled out her phone to check the current time.

"Well, we've talked enough, and it's almost time to go to the student council."

As he spoke, the president's lips curved into a graceful smile, and he asked Golden Victory in a slightly teasing tone:

"So, I think I've been here long enough, haven't I?"

Well, the reason Rudolf spent some time here after the match was not only to help the disappointed Emperor of the East Sea.

Another reason is the victory of the gold medal.

It was very important for Gold Seungri to let others see that the student council president of Central Teresen Academy had a good relationship with him.

This is a very important signal for the wide community of racehorse girls and trainers at Central Treisen Academy.

Otherwise, simply having the Golden Victory in this practice match between himself and the Emperor of the East Sea as promotional material would be somewhat insufficient.

After all, as the White Calamity, as the White Devil of Treisen Academy, Golden Victory's infamy here is simply too great.

Even the most impressive and impactful techniques might not be enough to ignite a group of people's motivation to climb higher.

Although, to the audience from a distance, their movements just now seemed a little too close...

"Hey, thanks."

"No need to be polite, just remember to give the emperor good guidance when the time comes."

After speaking, the young lady waved to the Emperor of the East Sea, then took a step and prepared to leave the playground.

"Oh, if you have time, I'll treat you to a meal. I'll even pick out a restaurant for you then!"

The reply from afar made Miss Rudolph, who was about to leave, pause for a moment.

Then, the student council president, with elegant manners, quickly "ran" back to the student council...

"Alright, alright, then we should head back now, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he glanced at the East Sea Emperor beside him, who was clearly unhappy, and spoke to Golden Victory as if he were talking to a child.

At this moment, after Rudolf's repeated symbolic explanations, the Emperor of the East Sea no longer felt the same resentment that seemed to be self-loathing as before.

However, the Emperor's Palace is now showing some signs of discontent.

"Well!"

"What's wrong? If we don't go to the dorm, it'll be hard to discuss the outcome of this practice match."

"Unless you want your White Disaster senior to be deliberately targeted by the Horse Girls Association~"

Well, the conditions that Golden Victory reached with the Uma Musume Association during the hot spring talks last time included the rule that the details of his aura techniques must not be disclosed without authorization.

Although the Emperor of the East Sea is already within the Golden Victory team, he is an authorized recipient of the teachings.

But if these things are said outside...

If the Horse Girls Association finds something wrong with her and puts her in the wrong, it will be a disaster for the small and fragile team that is Golden Victory.

That's already a kind of fatal blow.

"I... I didn't mean that."

While quickly suppressing his emotions and trying to distance himself, the Emperor of the East Sea hesitated several times before finally speaking her mind directly:

"Why were Senior White Disaster and the Chairman acting so intimately just now?!"

Why...?

He scratched his face, as if he was thinking about how to explain it to the other person.

Soon, Golden Victory figured out how to answer the question:

"Because we need to portray our relationship as visibly very close, like those promotional images you often see on TV for the Imperial Palace?"

It doesn't matter if these things are said, because once the facts happen, the other party will see them.

Unless something else happens afterward, the various rumors passed on through others have essentially confirmed the matter.

"Is it...something very important?"

"Well, it's pretty much the same. Official business is what we call serious matters, so you don't need to worry that I'll steal your president away, Baizai-senpai."

"Huh?! Stealing or anything like that? I didn't mean that at all!"
