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

Today's match was probably more of a trial run by Golden Victory to showcase the initial training results of their dual-turbo setup.

Considering that this female horse has not yet fully transformed, Golden Victory, based on the competition's advice, did address the potential issues that the twin turbo might encounter and provided instructions.

To allow for a final sprint, slow down your pace and let your body temporarily memorize the feeling.

Whether fatigue takes hold first or the engine will perform better after it adapts depends largely on the condition of the twin turbos...

Huh? Why did this guy slow down?

It was visible to the naked eye that the distance between the two sides was no longer widening and even began to show signs of closing.

This situation completely baffled the little horse.

Tamamo Cross: "???"

This wasn't some kind of forced slowdown due to a bend; in fact, her speed when cornering was even slower than the ones behind her. That absurd and ridiculous feeling kept swirling in Tamamo Cross's mind.

She felt that something might have happened to the other person.

But she also felt that the other party might have some kind of conspiracy.

Even though she had figured out these issues, Tamamo Cross still didn't dare to use her aura techniques against the twin turbines that were maintaining their sprint.

Who knows if this guy is using this slightly slower pace than Maruzensky as a sting operation!

It's like you've done your best and are starting to slow down and rest, but the problem is anyone can do that!

Seemingly sensing the pressure or aura emanating from the approaching Tamamo Cross, Tamamo Cross observed the subtle reactions emanating from the twin turbines!

Aha! You were faking it all along!

Look! This blue-haired thing is a racehorse girl that was hidden away by that Golden Victory senior! Maybe it was hidden away because her personality was too awful!

It's the kind of person who usually seems kind and even a little goofy, but the moment they step onto the racetrack and start racing, their entire personality changes and they transform into a racehorse-girl monster or something...

In that case... well, we still need to take action first!

Having figured out all the possibilities, and positioned herself where no one could block her, Tamamo Cross began to expend more energy and accelerate right at the start of the race!

The pace must be sped up!

This action triggered a chain reaction, causing the racehorses behind to speed up their pace as well.

For Twin Turbo, it seemed that her movements were a bit too slow, so she slightly increased her speed to try to keep up with the team behind her.

However, given her own abilities, a slight misjudgment led to the distance between the two sides gradually closing in a subtle manner. Even the horse girl's aura would occasionally surge out, making her seem as if she was truly doing her best.

Tamamo Cross: "..."

Emperor of the East Sea: "..."

These two racehorse girls, whose minds were more complex than those of other racehorse girls, immediately came to a somewhat strange conclusion.

Pack!

That's so pretentious!!!

You must be trying to use our momentum to perform that kind of action that stimulates the body to accelerate, right?

I never expected twin-turbocharged horses to be like this.jpg

Oguri Hat: "?"

She had a feeling that the twin-turbo ahead, which had slowed down, was someone she could influence with her aura techniques, but the problem was that she rationally chose not to act when she saw that the others seemed to have no intention of doing anything.

She's not particularly good at influencing others' actions through general aura techniques; she's more adept at passive and counter-attacking maneuvers.

So it wasn't until the second corner, after passing the three racehorses that posed a real threat to Maruzensky – Oguri-hat Tokai no Teiko and Tamamo-no-Kashi – and entering the straight, that they subtly overtook Twin Turbo...

Chapter 228 What evil intentions could the Imperial Treasure possibly have?

Seeing the game situation become indescribably bizarre, Golden Victory felt that this game was simply outrageous.

I originally thought that the rhythm would be driven by Maruzensky's escape.

The problem is that when Maruzenski escaped the chaos created by the momentum technique with her initial sprint, even though her subsequent pursuit encouraged her to conserve energy and continue accelerating, it did not completely change the rhythm of the game.

It wasn't until Twin Turbo maintained her advantage that the group of competitive horse girls realized they had to pick up the pace.

Ironically, the twin-turbo engine, which also made a great escape at the start, took on the peculiar responsibility of being the goalkeeper for the first two corners!

And during this period, not a single racehorse girl used any momentum techniques with the twin turbos!!!

He touched his chin, looking incredulous, finding it very strange yet needing to keep a close eye on the game.

"That's weird... What's wrong with those guys? Even with both turbos slowing down, they didn't even think about taking advantage of the situation to pin her down and beat her up?"

The words are a bit crude, but the meaning of "golden victory" is that the gap between the two sides was made up in one fell swoop through momentum and skills.

However, Sakura Star King, who had initially been mostly supporting Victory's voice, couldn't help but ask her a question when she heard her sister Victory say such things:

"...Victory, why did you suddenly decide to do this to the Twin Turbo?"

As the head of the Golden Victory team, or rather, as the steward of the Golden family, Sakura Seio naturally knew all the details about the horse girls under the family, especially those racehorse girls who were directly under Golden Victory.

Therefore, she was also aware of the fact that Twin Turbo was relatively weaker than the other racehorse girls in the family.

"Well... how should I put it? In any case, with twin turbos, all we can say is that we'll just try our best."

Strength, endurance, speed—these are the racing talents that racehorses are born with. It's unclear how many gold victories Twin Turbo has achieved, but her current inability to run is clearly due to a lack of various forms of training.

As for the training of the twin-turbo system in terms of momentum, since the basic training has not yet been completed, it is currently only at the stage of developing momentum.

In other words, the current twin-turbo system has a certain presence but cannot utilize that presence to create any so-called "momentum" techniques.

Under these circumstances, it wouldn't be surprising to lose to Fujimasa's Golden Victory, who was just a runner-up.

"Is that so... But Twin Turbo really doesn't care about its race ranking."

I've gotten to know her a little, and I know that this petite horse girl is naturally optimistic and cheerful. She enjoys the race more because of the Great Escape, even though the Great Escape rules affect her.

If she had used a different running style, the twin-turbo engine might have given her a chance to demonstrate the strength to become a racehorse girl, or at least she wouldn't have ended up in the predicament of not being able to finish the race because she ran too hard.

McQueen, Miyu, and Miura Bourbon, the three female racehorses, seemed to be in practice mode today.

Perhaps because the female racehorses were so obsessed with winning and losing, they seemed to have little interest in the race itself.

Of course, it's more likely that they are fellow racehorse girls who regularly practice and work hard together, so they are certainly aware of the difference in their abilities.

It's alright if you're in the same year, but those who came a year earlier are generally very strong. They're so strong that even if you suffer a setback or a defeat, it's difficult to get a higher ranking than them.

Even in the Super Small Bay, it was the same. Having already gained competition experience and rapidly transformed herself, it seems that she didn't participate in the Japan Darby just to experience the atmosphere of a top-level competition, as she claimed.

Furthermore, the biggest difference between Mi Yu and her fellow racehorse girls and those who can be considered seniors is that those racehorse girls can enter a domain state, while Mi Yu and her fellow racehorse girls cannot.

Since this race is destined to be a competition among the female horse racers, they should take it easy and treat the race as an atmosphere experience.

Experience just how big the gap is when you're in a domain state.

Experience the chaos that will occur when everyone on the field possesses both aura and aura techniques.

After all, this was different from the usual practice matches; at least at the very beginning, everyone was serious.

This led to a situation where everyone was at a disadvantage, and only then did they realize the true strength of their individual aura and skills.

However, when they discovered that Maruzenski had no impact whatsoever and that they themselves were even helping her, the sense of despair that the outcome of the race had already been decided made these rookie horse girls subconsciously choose to give up, that is, to become the runners-up in this race.

Oh, that's not quite right either...

At the start, there were two female racehorses sprinting ahead.

Besides Maruzensky, the other racehorse girl is Twin Turbo.

The performance of the twin-turbocharger naturally left an impression on them.

How should I put it...?

Something's very... off?

Even described as bizarre?

In short, the performance of the twin-turbo system seems like a disguise to them, but what exactly this disguise is trying to do doesn't feel quite right.

If everyone can tell it's a disguise, then the disguise loses its purpose, doesn't it?

This petite horse girl wasn't much slower than them, but her tendency to sprint straight ahead and charge forward made Mi Yu and the others subconsciously assume...

Twin Turbo, this racehorse girl, certainly wants to compete hard in this race.

Putting everything else aside, the prerequisite for competing in this competition is being able to enter the domain state.

So, should the Twin Turbine class be able to enter the domain state as well?

Even though Maruzensky has practically secured first place, among the remaining races for second and third place, there are probably Twin Turbo and Little Bay.

Confused, watching the petite horse girl ahead trying her best to maintain her running posture and move forward, the three undebuted rookies today chose to be more like spectators.

Spectators inside the stadium.

Just then, the team ahead had already passed the third bend!

The Emperor of the East Sea and Oguri Hat are now very close to Maruzensky ahead.

At least compared to the somewhat hopeless gap that opened up at the beginning of the match, the distance that has been narrowed up so far is still within what they believe is a distance they can catch up to.

Because of her running style, Tamamo Cross tends to land at a relatively rear position to conserve her energy. This petite, bushy horse girl is more focused on deciding the outcome of the race in one go while in her domain state.

But there are other racehorse girls sprinting at the same pace!

How could this be?!

They didn't realize her movement until the twin turbines had finished sprinting and were charging forward; they hadn't realized before that the twin turbines were about to start sprinting.

The senses did not serve any purpose in alerting me!

Tsk... We need to get into the field first...

The decision was made and implementation began as Tamamo Cross was about to enter the domain state.

Just when he had prepared himself and was ready to calculate his injury tolerance point and forcefully slaughter his opponent in his domain state.

Behind us, someone... or rather, someone with imposing presence is coming!

Tamamo Cross: "?!"
