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

Chapter Thirty: Spectating the Battle (Bonus Chapter for Recommendation Votes 1/1)

At this moment, Oguri Hattori is sitting cross-legged in the forest, seemingly concentrating on some kind of special training.

But just when there was no movement around, Little Chestnut Hat suddenly opened his eyes and darted through the grassy forest.

She eventually found a transmitter about thirty meters away and pressed the red button to mute the sound.

"Clap clap clap..."

Just then, as Golden Victory approached, he casually clapped his hands.

"Well, not bad, not bad. It seems the training has already shown initial results."

The training involved using a high-frequency noise transmitter that even the horse girl could hardly detect if she wasn't paying attention. The goal was to hone and solidify Oguri Hat's intuition in this area.

"Golden Victory-senpai?!" However, Oguri Hat's tone at this moment was somewhat surprised.

Oguri was slightly surprised because he didn't seem to hear any sound when the golden Victory approached.

Not to mention that the opponent completely concealed their presence, even the horse girl's hearing, which she excels at, couldn't detect Golden Victory.

This puzzled her greatly.

"How about that? You were scared, weren't you~" However, when faced with the training consultant's sudden childlike behavior, Oguri Hat's initial surprise vanished.

"Senior, how did you manage that just now?"

"This... it's a technique for using momentum. To put it more frighteningly, it's about using momentum to blind you and make you make serious mistakes in your judgment."

"However, I'm not on the field right now, so there's no need for me to do anything that would mislead you. All I need to do is disrupt my ability to hide in the surrounding terrain, and that's already a success."

Oguri, stunned by Golden Victory's terrifying technique, paused briefly before asking the other party:

"That...this technique."

"It has no meaning for you right now, it's just to get your attention. If someone tries to interfere with your judgment, you must try to deal with it."

Even Golden Victory himself wasn't quite sure why Tamamo Cross suddenly achieved such a strong result, or whether it was related to him.

However, it is definitely beneficial to prepare in advance for this kind of momentum application technique, and in a sense, it is even a quality that a strong person should have.

"The central arena is not as simple as you think."

He mentioned it casually, but didn't offer any further advice.

Just like fishing, casting the line and bait is the limit; at most, you can sneak a little movement to attract the prey.

"Hmm." However, Oguri's next words left Golden Victory speechless: "I'm hungry..."

Golden Victory: "...Then you go eat first, Little Chestnut Hat. I have other people to meet. Let's meet at the cafeteria later."

With the addition of a hot spring inn as a tourist attraction in Kasamatsu Tresen, their previously tight finances suddenly became much more comfortable.

Following advice from trainers at the central government, the food was improved slightly.

Then the school lost a lot of the revenue it had gained from the hot springs because of this decision, and other managers were hesitant about whether to cancel it.

However, Kasamatsu Tressen's principal does not seem to be someone who is willing to accept reality.

Perhaps for the future of local horse racing girls, or perhaps to retain talent like Oguri Hattori, his decision was ultimately suppressed despite the considerable criticism.

"Okay, see you later, senior." With that, Oguri Hat quickly left the training ground, and Golden Victory also went to another area.

"Hey, Kitahara, what are you doing here?"

Kitahara, Shibasaki, and Fujimasa are all here undergoing their special training.

"The main reason is that after I set up Oguri Hat's sensory training, I usually leave her there alone to train."

"Hey, not bad. You found it before I even gave you a hint. Very good, very good."

Upon hearing the other party's explanation, he praised Golden Victory.

These details may seem easy to make connections with, but they can indeed determine success or failure.

If Kitahara hadn't noticed, Golden Victory would have raised this issue after their initial special training, but now it seems there's no need to.

"Ah, really? I was wondering how you, Miss Golden Victory, could have overlooked this question. Oh, it was a test..."

While Kitahara chuckled beside him, Golden Victory turned his attention to Fujimasa March.

The girl with the bushy hair, dressed in kendo attire, was sitting on the ground with a wooden sword beside her. She closed her eyes and remained silent, yet a sense of oppression emanated from her.

Suddenly, the momentum stalled.

Fujimasa then reached out, grabbed the wooden sword, and slowly stood up.

As she drew her knife, her aura intensified, and the sharpness revealed in her open eyes made the two human trainers present dare not look directly at her.

He switched from wielding one sword to two, and then raised the wooden sword.

Her momentum reached its peak, and finally, she brought both hands down hard!

"what!"

For a moment, the slightly noisy forest seemed to quiet down.

"call......"

"Not bad, Little March. To achieve this level in your first actual rehearsal, it seems you really have a talent for this."

"Golden Victory Boss".

Sheathed his sword and bowed with a hint of excitement to the pure white horse girl before him.

Fujimasa's eyes seemed to soften slightly at this moment, and he was exuding a confident beauty.

"The initial practice seems to be yielding results. Now it's time to gradually internalize these movements and then practice the movements from standing up to swinging the sword from the beginning, so that I can learn to unleash them."

"Your momentum and actions on the field were pretty good, but such actions can easily put a serious strain on the body. You felt that after you crossed the finish line, right?"

"Hmm... It feels very uncomfortable, like I'm being forcibly squeezed dry. The loss of physical strength isn't as painful as this."

Hearing this, Golden Victory nodded: "Yes, that's true. Because what you're doing is forcibly using willpower and the desire to win to temporarily hone your aura. It's fine to use it once in a crucial moment, but if you use it too often, your body will definitely suffer many misfortunes in the future."

"Learning how to accumulate and effectively utilize momentum is also a required course for you."

"Okay, Golden Victory, boss."

"Let's go, everyone. Little Chestnut Hat has been waiting for us in the cafeteria for a while, and I've also called Little Radiance to ask her to come to the cafeteria."

As she spoke, the pure white horse girl led everyone into the dining hall...

"I have only one question for you all, since I've gathered you all together."

"Do you want to go watch the game?"

"Go see your rivals, the race of Tamamo Cross, the race of Ash Blossom Girls who are active on the central stage."

Without any preamble, let's get straight to the point.

She wanted to know whether these people were truly curious about the central stage.

Chapter 31 Naruo Memorial Tournament (Bonus Chapter for Tamamo Cross's Birthday)

"The Naruo Kinen Race at Hanshin Racecourse... is that right?"

The first to speak was Fujimasa March.

Even though she herself had no interest in participating in the Central Competition and felt that she was not capable enough, Fujimasa March had learned about some of the competition's content.

Even though these things won't be explored in too much depth in the exams at Kasamatsu Tresen Academy.

Even as a local female racehorse, she has almost no chance of winning these high-stakes central races.

"Yes, Tamamo Cross, this Ash-haired Horse Girl has won two consecutive matches. This third match after her winning streak will be her first time participating in a high-stakes event. By then, you will be able to see just how strong your opponents really are."

At this point, Golden Victory smiled and said, "Of course, you don't have to go if you're afraid."

"Since it's for reconnaissance, then of course we should go and see." "Agreed. Knowing the opponent's preferred running style and racing habits beforehand is also a very important part."

Trainers Kitahara and Shibasaki provided the answer, and their racehorse girls all approved of the trainers' decision.

However, after finishing his meal, Kuri-chan noticed something amiss with the words "Golden Victory":

"And what about you, Golden Victory-senpai? Aren't you planning to go over there?"

"Me? I won't go then."

"After all, the one-month deadline is almost up, and if the central authorities see this, it will probably cause a lot of trouble."

She paused slightly, then let out a devilish grin:

"So, I'm going to give you guys a good workout during these last few days of intensive training!"

Confirming their words, he looked at the newly radiant figure and said, "But when they go to watch the game, little radiant, do you want to come find me after watching the game, or do you want to come with me directly? I don't care."

Since Shining Radiance did not participate in the Golden Youth Tournament, she could naturally choose to train alongside Golden Victory.

Compared to the other two racehorse girls who only need to focus on things on the racetrack, she lacks more and has more to do.

"Eh... Well, I also want to go with Oguri and the others to see the Central tournament. Golden Victory-senpai, let's meet again later."

The newfound radiance was still somewhat timid, yet her words now seemed to carry a newfound confidence.

The arrival of the golden victory truly changed many people.

With only a month left before the assessment begins, Golden Victory naturally wouldn't choose to waste this precious time.

Her trip to Kasamatsu is also drawing to a close.

Regardless of the outcome, it's time for Golden Victory to prepare to head to other parts of Japan to find other racehorse girls that fit its criteria.

After all, what she wants to do can't be changed by just one or two outstanding racehorse girls...

"Alright then, I'll reserve the tickets for you first, and then we'll keep working hard for the rest of the time."

[Naruo Kinen Race, G2, Shiba, 2500 meters, Cloudy]

Although G2 level races are already quite popular events, today's Hanshin Racecourse was just as bustling and crowded as some G1 races.
