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

Originally, Fujimasa intended to entrust things to the Golden Victory, who said he would prepare everything.

But after thinking about it, she decided it would be better to inform the student council first.

Fujimasa's March is well aware of his team and the current situation of Golden Victory, so it's better to be careful and not give them any leverage.

It's not just about being responsible for your own career, but also for the Golden Victory.

Looking at the current team members and scale, and excluding everyone except the trainer, Fujimasa March in Uma Musume naturally felt a sense of responsibility for the team.

"Hmm...staying out overnight, is that right?"

After a moment of contemplation, Maruzensky gave a detailed reply:

"If you live in the trainer's dormitory, you basically only need to register and confirm who enters and exits. However, Little March should have already filled out the form when she entered."

"As for overnight accommodation, we just need to report it again, and our student union can handle it on your behalf. Of course, if Little March doesn't plan to sleep with Little Gold, you can also consider me, your older sister."

"Oh, just kidding, just kidding! Don't get tempted just because your older sister made such a suggestion~"

Brand New Glory: "?"

From the joking tone of the senior in front of her, Chestnut Horse Girl seemed to sense that the other party was actually quite serious.

Ironically, the newly established Glorious Academy seems to have gotten used to this bizarre format.

Those considerate and reliable seniors are basically abnormal. Putting aside whether Maruzensky is like that too, the mere fact that he won the Golden Victory alone is enough to distort her perfect impression of Senior Treson...

"Thank you for your kindness, Maruzen-senpai. I've already spoken with Victory the Golden Knight."

"Oh, right, I remember you used to call Little Gold 'Gold Victory Boss,' so why don't you call your older sister Maru Zen Boss? That would be more intimate."

"...Thank you for your kindness, Maruzen-senpai, but I feel more comfortable calling you that for now."

The fact that he refers to Golden Victory as "Golden Victory Boss" is more of a heartfelt recognition of Pure White Horse Girl.

While Fujimasa also harbored some affection for Maruzensky, the problem was that the two didn't know each other well enough, leading to the sudden use of such an intimate term of endearment...

This always made her feel that the so-called sense of distance was so worthless...

"Alright then~ It's okay, it seems there's nothing wrong here anymore."

"and many more."

As he spoke to Oguri Hat and his group, Rudolf symbolically stood up from his office and then glanced at everyone.

Her purple eyes held a scrutinizing gaze, tinged with a touch of authority, as she examined the three horse girls.

However, to her surprise, none of the three seemed to be affected in the slightest by her gaze or her imposing aura as someone in a high position.

"Guests are always welcome."

"If you have time, please allow me to serve you some black tea and refreshments."

"I personally think the pastries sent during the New Year were very good enough to be used to entertain guests."

Rudolph's invisible majesty, symbolizing his presence, instantly transformed into a caring and loving gaze towards the students of Uma Musume.

"By the way, I have something I'd like to talk to you about, especially the Fujimasa March."

"Me? Aren't I Little Chestnut Hat?"

“Oguri Hat should naturally stay here and listen to what I’m about to say, but she’ll be by Golden Victory’s side for quite some time afterward, so I don’t need to worry about her too much.”

The words seemed to express the concern of a senior for a junior.

Although this appearance seems somewhat different from the Emperor's initial attitude towards Fujimasa, everyone naturally assumes that this is what is meant by looking at someone with new eyes.

However, Fujimasa, a racehorse still active in local competitions, vaguely sensed that the other party seemed to have something to say specifically to her.

"Since it's an invitation from the Empress, I think I have no reason to refuse such a great opportunity."

He was exchanging polite words, but when he saw the little chestnut hat next to him...

The corners of the marching ballad's mouth turned up slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"but......"

After a pause, everyone's attention turned to the word "however," which signified a turning point in the poem "Fujimasa March."

“Oguri’s appetite is a little bigger than that of a normal horse girl. I’m worried that there won’t be enough sweets for her here, but that would seem a bit impolite.”

However, Lu Mao Ma Niang did not explicitly state which side was impolite.

Was it that the student council overindulged in eating too much of the chestnut hat, or was it a genuine case of poor hospitality from the student council, not just a polite remark...?

No, it is the master of the student council, the symbol of student council president Rudolf.

"No need to worry."

I thought the other person wanted to say something.

"Since these are snacks prepared for students, even if they are light side dishes like tea snacks, the amount of food that our student council is preparing is still at the level of being able to supply Uma Musume."

"So, Fujimasa March, your worries just now were not unfounded."

However, the president's confident remarks suddenly made Maru Zenski, who was standing next to him, have a slightly uneasy feeling.

Hmm... I feel like Little March's move just now looks so familiar?

Could it be that this simple, local horse girl from Kasamatsu has also been corrupted by Kogane?

Maruzen seemed to realize something was wrong, but she didn't say anything.

After all, as her secretary and senior colleague, she sometimes wanted to see the president's adorable face when she was struggling with daily affairs.

Since we've decided to hold a small impromptu tea party, we'll naturally put aside our current tasks for now.

Each cup of black tea was served, personally overseen by Chairman Rudolf.

Aside from the chestnut hat, which didn't seem to elicit any particular reaction from the other two members, Fujimasa March and Shining Brilliance became somewhat more reserved in the face of this scene.

Previously, it was because of some invisible pressure from the other party, or perhaps because of the gold medal victory; in any case, that influence was actually quite limited for them.

But now the other party's actions are too friendly, and it is even inevitable to think of the identity that Rudolf symbolizes.

Seven-time champion Rudolph Symbol, who achieved the classic undefeated triple crown, is a legendary racehorse with the title of Emperor.

The sight of such an important person pouring himself tea suddenly felt incredibly absurd.

"Please have some. Although I didn't personally boil the tea, I was involved to some extent in everything from selecting the tea leaves to using the tea and purchasing the teaware."

Soon, Maruzensky also brought over a large amount of tea and snacks from other places.

It was a kind of comprehensive candy and cookie packaging as the main body of the whole bag. After opening the bag, you could see various small and exquisite snacks that were thoughtfully separated inside.

"Please use it. If it's not enough, I can get more later, but I still suggest that everyone use it sparingly at this time."

Although there are still about three or four hours until dinner time, it could even be said that this is the perfect time for tea.

Well, I'm more worried about the things I just predicted happening.

In the end, won't I still have to be responsible for taking the inventory from the warehouse?

As for the other student council members, they are being protected from Kasamatsu and her group.

Naturally, they wouldn't allow anyone else to meet them here.

And so, including the two student council officers, they began a pleasant afternoon of leisure amidst their busy schedules...

At first, everyone seemed a bit reserved because they weren't very familiar with each other, and the topics they discussed were rather stiff, such as their vision for coming to Central Teresen Academy.

But soon, with the help of desserts and black tea, the barriers between the people gradually dissolved.

Maruzensky was chatting casually with Fujimasa, and the senior seemed to be showing great interest in the Ash-haired horse girl from Kasamatsu who was the first one trained by Golden Victory.

Rudolph, symbolizing new glory, chatted about information regarding the logistics department and also inquired about some matters related to the Golden Victory.

However, regarding Konnosuke, both student council members seemed quite curious about her experience during her time in Kasamatsu...

Normal experience.

Well, these interesting people are actually quite curious too.

For example, why was this eccentric horse girl able to create a hot spring for Kasamatsu Tressen?

The problem is that even the Kasamatsu students are curious about this thing, and it has even become one of the new Seven Mysteries at Kasamatsu Tresen Academy.

By the way, the last incredible phenomenon that was removed was called the white-haired, red-eyed evil spirit that appears at night. Those who know, know.

In short, the nature of today's impromptu tea party is more like a friendly signal from the student council to the group of horse girls who came from Kasamatsu to the central area.

Similarly, Kasamatsu and the others were happy to accept this friendly signal, and both sides reached a tacit understanding to make the current atmosphere very harmonious.

This moment of friendship between local and central racehorse girls has been achieved, and even the secretary wanted to take a picture of it.

The only thing that needs slight correction is that the speed at which these tea snacks were consumed was rather astonishing...

Meanwhile, Maruzen, feeling somewhat regretful about her carefree attitude, went to the student council's storage room to get some snacks.

As she drank her umpteenth cup of tea, and finding there were no snacks, Koguri Hat finally took a look around the student council office.

Just then, the contents of the plaque hanging high on the wall came into view.

The text above is written in relative characters, or rather, printed with black text on a white background.

【Eclipse first, the rest nowhere】

"By the way, have you heard of this?"

Noticing Oguri's straightforward, upward gaze, Rudolf then asked the question with great interest.

"Eclipse first, the rest nowhere, and that is also the motto of our Central Teresen Academy."

Upon hearing Rudolf recite these words fluently, New Radiance paused slightly before offering a somewhat uncertain translation:

"One horse leads the way, leaving all others in the shadows?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." The Empress nodded, but she wasn't surprised that the other party knew the meaning of the sentence.

After all, the new brilliance has been at Central Teresen Academy for quite some time now.

If you ask around a bit, it's not difficult to find out the school motto.

"This is the motto of our Central Teresen School."

"No other goals are allowed; our goal is always the summit."

“This is a different height from the summit you faced at Kasamatsu, Oguri-kashi, and the march.”
