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

......

Golden City, from the first turn to the third turn, has been in the lead, now in fourth place.

Number one in popularity?

Is this really the audience's recognition of my racing performance?

Ha, even I don't believe it.

Isn't this because of the high praise I received based on my other professional identity?

Becoming a horse racer might just be a hobby for Miss Golden City.

[I never imagined that a part-time model could win a G1 race.]

[Her performance isn't particularly outstanding compared to truly elite racehorses, but when did we ever consider Miss Golden City an elite racehorse? Her graceful galloping on the track is enough.]

This is how others perceive him and his career in the Golden City tournaments.

Ironically, it's true.

When she won second place in both the Satsuki and Kikuka Sho races, she received even more praise and admiration than the other racehorse, who also won the championship.

It's because nobody expects themselves to run fast, run well, or achieve good results...

So this time, she changed her running style.

She wants to win!

She wants to win more and bigger victories!

She wants to prove that she's not just a top model, but also an elite among horse racers!

Covered in mud and soaked in sweat, his legs were groaning in pain. He might have to decline future outdoor modeling shoots due to his injuries.

But as long as her heart was still beating, she had no excuse to give up!

I am at the peak right now!

It allows me to shine even brighter than when I'm on stage!

This is it! Right here on the track!!!

The body gradually leans forward.

The speed gradually increased.

At the moment she arrives at the fourth corner, she will sprint towards the final straight with a magnificent display!

Then win!

......

Every racehorse girl on the field has a reason not to lose, and an impulse to win.

the reality is cruel.

The winner's stage can accommodate the performance of three racehorse girls.

However, the goddess of victory will only kiss one person.

"We've now reached the third turn!"

"The top two positions in the team remain unchanged, with horse number 8, Akimasa Eikami, and horse number 4, Yoshino Sakusen, leading the pack. I wonder if they can maintain their lead and win the championship!"

"Tamamo Cross, who is third in popularity, has moved up slightly in the rankings but is still at the very bottom of the group. Currently, Tamamo Cross is in tenth place. Given the significant gap between her and the teams ahead of her, it is uncertain whether Tamamo Cross still has a chance to win!"

"Mejiro Dylan, currently ranked second in popularity, remains firmly at the top of the group. Will she be able to carry the name of Mejiro to the winner's stage and be sung by everyone?"

"Golden City, currently ranked fourth in popularity, seems to be making moves. The slight adjustment in her running posture clearly indicates that she is preparing to overtake the racehorses ahead on the final corner. She is now very close to the final corner. I wonder if she can successfully win this championship!"

Just before the crucial moment of the fourth bend, the petite Ryumo no Mako was still running hard at the back of the pack.

She didn't know how others treated the game.

She didn't know exactly how many racehorses were racing desperately for victory.

Tamamo Cross simply wants to win.

She said her family really needed the reward money.

The prize money for high-reward events is much higher than that for other non-high-reward events.

glory?

Perhaps so.

But for this poor child, the reward was perhaps more important...

Why is it important to win?

You must know why you want to win, and you must obtain your glory by any means necessary.

Of course, Tamamo, you're doing this for the money, and doing something outrageous could easily cost you your bounty.

Therefore, you must be clear about why you want to win and understand the appropriate balance.

Just as the pure white horse girl was urging Tamamo Cross to train it.

These words simultaneously entered Lu Mao Ma Niang's ears, and even reached her mind and heart.

Most skills are not innate.

The countless hours of hard work and tears I endured in the days that followed allowed me to internalize everything I had learned.

Finally, ignite the fire within, and unleash everything at the crucial moment!

Hey!

Who cares what your reasons are for wanting to win!

The petite girl was skipping and hopping as she suddenly ran towards the front of the line.

Taking the outer route?

No, no, no, we won't do something so troublesome.

Everyone says I'm small!

Everyone says I'm short!

You all look down on racehorses with long hair, don't you!

Then let me be a good member of your group.

Seize the opportunity and cut into the gap.

I'll seize the opportunity and let you fight your way in and out seven times!

With a final, desperate glance, he looked at his supporters waving flags of his own color...

You people should be prepared.

Don't be scared into trembling by our dashing running figure!!!

The pace gradually quickened.

They gradually ignored the obstacles caused by the trampling of the people in front of them on the ground.

Until the moment the crowd gathered, until the crucial moment that the three racehorse girls considered crucial before the fourth bend.

The movement is completed in an extremely short instant, under precise control.

A sudden outburst!!!

The horse with the tuft of hair moved swiftly through the crowd like a white lightning bolt!

Chapter 35 White Wife

Just before the fourth bend was about to change.

Just as the female racehorses were making their own responses based on the final corner strategy and the current situation.

Lu Mao's figure had already quietly approached the front of the group.

Even if it's just a small jump of three places, moving from tenth to eighth.

However, this is already extremely close to the densely populated area where the leading group is located!

"Tamamo Cross! Tamamo Cross, she's caught up!"

"Just as they were about to pass the last bend, Tamamo Cross started catching up with the leaders from behind!"

While the commentator was excitedly explaining, the audience was filled with confusion.

When did she appear?

It should be noted that even if the female racehorses in the Central Racecourse are slightly behind in the rankings, the difference is usually only within one horse length.

Given such a gap, the only way to catch up with the team ahead without being hindered is to take the outside route.

Could it be that she squeezed in from the back of the crowd?

The audience's doubts were somewhat dispelled by the presence of Maruzensky and Rudolf in the audience.

"Oh my, is this...is this dancing?"

Maruzensky noticed Tamamo Cross starting to weave in from the back of the group even before the fourth bend, and a slight look of surprise crossed his face.

The striking white figure moved like lightning, subtly shifting direction among the crowd.

The seemingly haphazard way of running through the area would likely raise doubts among outsiders about whether it would even be possible to make progress.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the Tamamo Cross was indeed moving rapidly through the crowd.

The camera footage even shows her moving through the crowd, her body shifting in a rhythmic, undulating manner.

"Running on tiptoe, or ballet running."

"Use the minimum burst speed to achieve extremely high acceleration and sprint a very short distance with a precise direction."

"When the force of a step lands to the point where the leg can withstand it, confirm the optimal direction just moments before and continue sprinting forward. Then repeat the same action until you finally break free from the congestion caused by the large group."

"This running style is similar to dance, which puts a lot of strain on the core muscles of the legs and waist, and is also a great test of one's ability to make judgments in the moment. Moreover, this method is often thankless and difficult to achieve."
