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

Tickets for today's race sold out within days of the announcement, and the number of attendees nearly blocked the entire racecourse.

Located in specially reserved seats in certain areas, as members of the Central Teresen Academy student council, they have several seats available to watch the games at any time in various arenas.

"Wow, I never expected so many people to come to this competition."

As Maruzen looked at the massive crowd with some emotion, he seemed to be trying to find a specific target in the crowd.

If Little Gold comes, she probably won't bother with disguises; she could just find the horse girl in the red hot-blooded coat.

Unaware of Maruzensky's actions, Rudolf, standing to the side, nodded in response.

"Of course."

"After all, many people, like you and me, want to see if the one who breaks the curse of the 'reed' can break through the encirclement and finally win the championship in the high-stakes race that truly tests the strength of the racehorses."

"That's true, but the one you really think is the best, President, is still in Kasamatsu."

The implication is clearly not that it refers to the Tamamo Cross, but rather to the Oguri Hat.

"No, the Tamamo Cross is also among my observations. The best approach is to use a two-pronged approach, proceeding from two directions."

"Both of these talented individuals, the one from the central government and the one who rose to prominence from the local level, must be under my control."

"That's true, but President, you still value Oguri Hat, who comes from a local area, more, right?"

With a beaming smile, Maruzensky looked at Rudolf, who was standing to the side, and continued to answer:

"If you want to put pressure on those Central Race Horse Girls, even Tamamo from a poor family won't be able to do it."

Upon hearing Maruzensky's analysis, the emperor beside him spoke with a hint of helplessness amidst his serious tone.

"Maru Zen, your methods of trying too hard to understand other people's thoughts can sometimes make people feel a little breathless."

"Really? I think it's okay. At least compared to the series that Little Gold played, I feel like I'm as slow as a little turtle."

"Let's not talk about that for now. Do you think Little Golden came this time?"

Unexpectedly, Rudolf replied decisively, "Her? She won't come."

"Bai Zai will definitely know how to strike the right balance between subtly exploiting loopholes and leaving evidence. If she really doesn't know her limits..."

The sentence was left unfinished.

Because the emperor herself did not intend to imagine what she would do if that time really came.

As a champion of power, they uphold the rules of the Uma Musume Association and ban the other side.

Or should we, as friends and juniors, choose to forgive or even ignore this careless and foolish senior?

This was indeed a difficult choice for her, given her prestigious family background...

Pre-match stage display.

As racehorse girls, they have a performance on the display stand to showcase themselves before the official race.

At this moment, the announcement on stage is reading out their names in the current number order.

"Currently, it's Group 3, Number 3, Golden City, who is also the most popular racehorse girl in this competition!"

Following the sound, the chestnut-haired mare with a bright tail flower walks with a professional gait, showcasing herself on the stage.

With her captivating figure, shimmering golden hair and tail, fair skin, and mesmerizing aquamarine eyes, she exudes the poise expected of a popular horse girl, while also showcasing her unique and enchanting beauty.

Besides her beauty, she exuded an overly confident aura on this stage where she was showcasing herself.

Besides her own appearance and figure, Golden City's competitive record is also one of the reasons for her proud demeanor.

The series of actions added an invisible layer of pressure to the horse girls who appeared later.

The petite, bushy-haired horse girl, Tamamo Cross, was also within the range of influence of this powerful aura...

Secretly lowering her head...

Bang bang... bang bang...

A small body with a huge heart.

It's beating wildly right now.

Hey! What a coincidence!

I'm a strong person too!

It was not out of fear or worry.

This was simply her irrepressible, excited heartbeat!

Fourth update complete. Please support!

Ah, I typed so much today, I'm so tired. I'll revise the content later if there are any problems.

Next up is Tamamo Cross's first major prize tournament, which is also an important tournament for her to obtain the White Lightning title, so updates will be slightly slower.

I have to complain here, it's really hard to find the names of racehorses other than some famous ones, and the machine-translated versions are almost unbearable to look at...

Well, there's not much else to say. The birthday present has been given, so let's all give the hardworking author a little support (even though it was posted at midnight on the 24th.jpg).

Chapter Thirty-Two: Formidable Opponents on the Field

"Wow, there are so many people here..."

With a touch of wistfulness, the newly radiant figure looked around at the sea of ​​people.

Besides people, horse girls who are spectators are also a common group at Hanshin Racecourse.

This even includes many racehorse girls wearing Central Teresen Academy uniforms.

What frightened her was that even though there were many people around, they didn't even make eye contact; she just glanced at them.

Shining Glory always feels that his every move is being noticed by others.

As the new brilliance swept its gaze across the area, the movements of the Central Racemaids occasionally revealed that they were aware of its actions.

That terrifyingly sharp reflex, like the counter-surveillance special forces soldiers in the movies she used to watch, made her feel inexplicably tense...

"Don't look around." Noticing Shining Radiance's actions, Fujimasa March immediately dissuaded her: "Although most of the racehorse girls here will maintain their composure and regard your actions as fan behavior, you still have to show some respect to each other. You should at least have a smile on your face."

"Uh... okay, okay." Hearing this, the petite horse girl quickly gave a somewhat forced and awkward smile. As it turned out, other horse girls watching the race from the sidelines noticed her expression, and they gave her an understanding response.

The petite horse seemed less nervous.

"Central Uma Musume doesn't seem as scary as I imagined... March, thank you."

Even if their small group joins forces to resist the central authorities, it is essentially still a competition between Fujimasa March and Oguri Hat.

However, as they made progress together, their friendship also improved significantly.

At least with the new brilliance, she would never have imagined that she would be able to chat so much with Fujimasa, a special admissions student.

Of course, she never imagined that a trainer from the central government would actually agree to help her achieve that seemingly unattainable dream...

"Hmm... With her popularity ranking third, even from the perspective of Central Horse Girls, she should be considered a very strong contender for the championship, right?"

Holding the brochure and looking at the contents, Tamamo Cross's petite, feathered figure, symbolized by Rudolf, showed that they already knew who their opponent was.

Is this what you call a regular Central Race Horse Girl?

Ah, judging from their record, it's not particularly impressive...

"Three wins out of ten is indeed a bit lacking compared to other popular racehorses, but Tamamo Cross has won by more than five lengths in her last two races, which has brought her more attention."

"Tch, that sounds alright. Our Little Chestnut Hat... and her march isn't any weaker than hers."

Kitahara, who originally only wanted to mention Oguri Hat, suddenly realized that Fujimasa March had taken the Chukyo Cup victory not long ago, and considering that the two sides were now more inclined to cooperate, he changed his words slightly.

"If you're not good at polite conversation, don't force yourself. Well, consider it practice." Shibasaki glanced at the other person before continuing his analysis: "However, it seems a bit difficult for Tamamo Cross to win this competition..."

Tamamo Cross, the girl with the goose feathers, only ranked third in popularity in this match.

This means that there are at least two more popular Uma Musume (horse girls) above her, who are the more favored winners according to the audience.

"Mejiro Dylan, the second most popular player, comes from the prestigious Mejiro family of Uma Musume. He has a record of five wins in ten matches, including winning the G1 match of the classic Triple Crown, Kikuka Sho... He can be said to be a very formidable opponent."

While the win rate may seem 50%, it's important to understand that elite racehorses compete fiercely in both the central and regional races. Achieving a win rate of over 50% is a truly remarkable achievement.

"Next up is the popular Golden City, with three wins in twelve matches. It seems ordinary, but she has ranked in the top three in many matches and has won the G1 tournament. She also ranked second in this year's Satsuki Award and Kikuka Award... The key point is that her popularity is ridiculously high and it is not entirely based on her record."

"Eh?! That's right! I've heard of Ms. Kinjo! A magazine that sells horse girls used to hire Ms. Kinjo to take promotional photos. Her looks and figure are more like a model than a racehorse girl."

As they spoke, everyone's attention was drawn to the chestnut-haired horse girl with a golden hue on the catalog. Her whole person in the photo exuded an aura as if she were born to be the sole focus of the entire printed work.

"The top three are all very strong, so we should focus on them first, with Tamamo Cross as the main target. Since we're already here, we should learn something or get some information before going back."

However, while everyone was discussing the pre-race information, Oguri Hat was gazing at the area around the track, the spectator positions, the starting gates, and the finish line.

"This is the central stage... huh?"

He muttered to himself unconsciously.

The atmosphere of the surrounding stadium felt even more unfamiliar than that of the Zhongjing Cup, yet it stirred a strange longing and even a slight impulse in Xiao Limai.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong?" The newly formed Radiance, who was sitting next to him, noticed something was wrong and asked his friend with some concern.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering if the grass here smells particularly good."

Shibasaki and Kitahara, who were standing nearby, trembled slightly upon hearing the answer.

Yes, that's a very logical answer, just like Oguri Hat's.

But don't you still have some fried noodles on hand?

However, after hearing his rival, Ashikaga, say something seemingly unintentionally about his gluttony, Fujimasa's expression gradually returned to its former seriousness and sharpness.
