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

As he spoke, his words naturally revealed his unwillingness to communicate with his uncle, who was a trainer from the Central Training Center.

However, Golden Victory does not accept this level of awareness.

“I understand, but you still have to talk to him, otherwise I won’t accept it, and he certainly won’t accept it.”

"Even if family members don't get along, they are still family. Unless they have done something unforgivable to you, I believe that family members can still try to communicate."

At this point, the pure white horsewoman paused, then chuckled and shook her head, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with her earlier words of advice.

"Hey, why would I talk to you about this? Anyway, if you haven't communicated well with Liuping, then I won't accept it."

Not understanding why the other party wanted to interfere in his family affairs, but since Golden Victory had already laid out the conditions, Kitahara had no choice but to pick up his phone and make a call.

"Hey, Sixth Uncle, um, excuse me, but I'd like Little Chestnut Hat to receive instruction from Miss Golden Victory..."

"What?!!!"

The angry roar that came from the other party halfway through the conversation was clearly audible to ordinary people, even without a loudspeaker.

This was especially a unique form of torture for the two horse girls present.

Gently rubbing his poor ears, Golden Victory grumbled unhappily at the other's spirited roar:

"Tsk tsk, this old guy can still roar like that, he should be able to live another thirty or forty years of healthy life without any problem."

"Sixth Uncle, keep your voice down, there are other horse girls around."

The sound startled the newly radiant figure beside him, causing his eyes to dim and his body to sway precariously, giving the impression that he might collapse at any moment.

"Heh...hehe, this old gentleman is so energetic! Ah...hahahaha..."

Kita looked apologetically at the two women, then covered the microphone with his hand to prevent the sound from being too loud, and lowered his own voice as well.

"Yes, Miss Golden Victory is indeed here. Ah, okay."

Halfway through his sentence, Kitahara handed his phone to Golden Victory.

"Hey..." Before Golden Victory could speak, Rokuhei Ginjiro spoke first.

Instead of responding immediately, Miss Golden Victory took the phone and instantly became incredibly ladylike. She first gently tucked her shiny white, smooth hair behind her ear, and then her sweet, professional voice reached the other person's eardrum through the microphone.

"The user you dialed is currently out of service. Please try again later. Thank you."

After saying that, the girl hung up the phone without hesitation.

Kitahara: "???"

A Brand New Radiance: "???"

The two were instantly stunned by Golden Victory's move.

Before they could inquire about the bizarre behavior of the woman in front of them, the phone rang again.

Golden Victory then pressed the call button again.

This time, however, she carefully kept her distance from the microphone, her slender, fair hand hovering over the button, ready to hang up at any moment.

Her expression was so serious, as if she were defusing a bomb.

She only calmed down a little when Rokuhei Ginjiro's slightly softer voice came from the other end: "...Thank you."

"Oh, it's good that you understand. After all, my ears are an important resource for applying for World Heritage status, so it would be best if I could communicate normally."

With just one sentence, Rokuhei Ginjiro on the other end of the call was once again left speechless.

However, the other party's actions did make him stop yelling immediately, so he quickly got to the point.

"What are your plans for Golden Victory?"

"Nothing much, it's just that someone encountered a special assessment and asked me to guide them. I was worried that if your uncle-nephew relationship broke down, you would cause trouble for me again, so I asked him to communicate with you beforehand."

"...I don't believe you don't know what I'm trying to say! What I'm trying to say is, why did you specifically train Fujimasa March and then have her snipe Oguri Hat?"

Rokuhei Ginjiro had very mixed feelings about Oguri Hat.

Originally, considering his foolish nephew Tokai Darby's goals, he only advised against letting Oguri Hat participate in the Chukyo Cup.

If Kitahara understood, at most it would just allow Oguri Hat to remain active in the region for a little longer, and the time it took to be discovered would be slightly later.

But since Kitahara still had Oguri Hat sign up for the Chukyo Cup, Rokuhei Ginjiro's idea changed.

We must win.

Easily winning the Chukyo Cup as Oguri Hats' second semi-major prize winner, he then entered the Central Major Prize Series to challenge the Central team with a strong winning streak!

He wanted them to know that even Kasamatsu could experience a miracle!

But all his plans were ultimately shattered by Golden Victory.

What he found most unbelievable was that Golden Victory also had a crush on Oguri Hat, and she even told him directly that she wanted to get this goose-haired racehorse girl.

How to indirectly attack the other party and then make them willingly accept your training?

Rokuhei Ginjiro really couldn't understand this operation; in fact, he thought it was a completely unprofitable move.

Once the confidence that racehorses have built up is shattered, it's a huge test for them...

"The Fujimasa March was something the other party asked me to do, and I also wanted to teach Oguri Hat to take her opponents seriously in advance. She has to go through that match, regardless of whether she wins or loses."

After a pause, she then steered the conversation back to the aspect the other person truly wanted to communicate.

"You're aiming for a winning streak to enter the Central Region Racehorse Girls, but that's not me. At least in my opinion, Oguri Sasa doesn't need a winning streak right now."

"Besides, do you really think that Oguri-hat can enter the central government without any obstacles and there won't be any problems?"

Looking out the window at the sky above the pine trees, Golden Victory's tone became slightly heavier:

"If the story of a person rapidly rising from the local level and then directly defeating top talents from the central government to win various awards and victories were widely publicized by the media, those people wouldn't be that stupid, would they?"

"Since their strength cannot be suppressed in the short term, they will use various restrictions, from competition rules and qualifications to training resources, to create a thorny path of endless persecution. No one understands these things better than me."

"..."

After a brief silence, Rokuhei Ginjiro finally answered.

“Of course I know… but Oguri’s existence is very important. She has the potential to rise from Kasamatsu in the region to the central government and become the pride of Kasamatsu, so I have high hopes for her.”

"I'm willing to do this even if it means offending some people to death for her."

“What a coincidence, me too.” With a smile, Golden Victory replied, “So wouldn’t it be better if I did it? I don’t care about those people in the association targeting me anyway. It would be more comfortable for you to retire peacefully.”

"Anyway, my reputation is already bad enough in those people's eyes, so the level of threat is relatively low."

"Besides, what ability does a racehorse girl who only knows how to break the rules have to teach other racehorse girls well?"

"That's definitely what they're thinking, and that's the only way they can think."

At this point, the pure white horse girl's tone became somewhat teasing and... inexplicably pleasant.

She's already getting impatient.

Since I might be targeted by outsiders at any time, I should try my best to pass on the torch during my breaks.

That is the burning passion for victory, for winning, for being number one!

Chapter Sixteen: Challenging the Golden Victory

Just as Golden Victory and Kitahara were discussing coaching Oguri Hat, Oguri Hat returned to the school playground after finishing his morning training.

She saw the Fujimasa March, which was also being practiced.

"Good morning." Oguri Hat looked at Fujimasa March with a serious gaze that was no less fierce than the other party's and greeted him.

"Good morning." After wiping the sweat from her face with a towel, Fujimasa noticed that Oguri's hat looked a little different today.

Looking at Shibasaki not far away, she realized the problem.

Even if you lose your sidekick, you still have a trainer, right...?

"Little Chestnut Hat, where's your trainer? And that one, Brand New Illusion?"

Fujimasa paused for a moment, making sure he knew how to continue the conversation before exchanging greetings with Oguri.

"They said they would ask the central trainer to agree to be my temporary training advisor, and then I should finish today's workout first."

However, after he said that, the atmosphere instantly became awkward.

After all, the two of them were more like rivals not long ago, and they rarely spoke to each other.

"If only the new brilliance were here right now..."

"If only Noren were here right now..."

The two unsociable racehorse girls, without prior arrangement, both thought of their friends.

However, Fujimasa quickly realized that she had other options, and a fierce look vaguely appeared in her eyes as she glanced at Shibasaki, who was sitting in the distance typing in the record.

"Huh? Oh, well, Oguri Hat, if you're hungry, would you like to go eat with March?"

The trainer immediately recalled Oguri Hat's hobby and the legend she created in the student cafeteria, and naturally made this suggestion.

"We just finished exercising and now we're eating...?" "Yeah! Training's over! Let's go eat at the student cafeteria!" (March)

She intended to refute her trainer's bad idea, but this action was immediately stopped by the march.

"Since we're going to eat, let's go out to eat. The time is free time arranged by the trainer, so it shouldn't be a problem. The prize money for this competition has just been distributed, so I'll treat you to dinner."

Ignoring most of the preceding words, Koguri nodded vigorously only at the phrases "eat out" and "I'll treat you to dinner."

"March, you're such a nice person."

"Don't get me wrong! I... I don't want to owe anyone anything... Besides, isn't it only natural for the winner to treat the loser?"

"I see, I've learned something new. Thank you, March."

But as they were talking, another voice came from afar.

"In that case, I can also help out with some money, since March did give me a commission before."

The tall, pure white horse girl, wearing her signature eye-catching bright red sports jacket, walked with the others toward Oguri Hat and Fujimasa's March.

"Ah, this is the Central Racehorse Girl and part-time Central Trainer I mentioned to you, her name is Golden Victory."

As he spoke, Fujimasa March bowed very seriously and greeted him.
