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

"So I don't need to seek revenge on any specific person or group of people unless there is a real need to."

"Otherwise, what I want to change has never changed. I want to make the Horse Girls Association better and provide a better environment for Japanese horse racing girls to grow up in. That's all."

A mature answer.

But it was also a pipe dream.

Because it's too big and too impractical.

Even Golden Victory himself is currently trying to implement it step by step.

"Oh, that works too."

Having heard the answer and trusting the other party, Kuronuma continued, "This does not conflict with my goal."

"So, who's currently on the team?"

Having said that, Kuronuma naturally agreed to join Golden Victory, a team focused on the future.

Not only trainer Kuronuma, but also the person next to him, Miura Bourbon, is also a team member who is preparing to join.

However, the other party's answer made Kuronuma's eyebrows twitch slightly.

"You've joined, huh? You, Old Black, certainly can't afford to lose face like that, so there's no such thing as going back on your word, right?"

"Hehehe! Then of course it'll just be the two of us!"

I'm not acting anymore~

"Regarding Uma Musume, I've already found several backup options, including both central and local options."

"As for the trainers, I do have three promising rookies in mind right now. We'll have to see if they have the passion and potential to develop them."

Each horse girl can only be paired with one trainer; this is written in the rules.

These are the rules you must follow if you want to participate in the competition.

However, the large team that Golden Victory envisioned for the future certainly couldn't be managed by just one trainer.

"There are central and local governments... You really are a good person, your thinking is indeed insightful."

"Although the central government has developed a tendency to gather strong people, upon closer reflection, the gathering of strong people in the central government was actually created by us old people from all over the country. Well, it is indeed worth promoting some people in the local areas."

"I trust you on this point. You're sure you can find the right person and partners."

He paused for a moment after saying this.

"Hmm... As for the central government, I'll try to contact some guys there, but I can't guarantee anything, after all, my era is over..."

The old man looked at Golden Victory.

"You, his people, aren't you going to consider contacting Bai Zai?"

"No need for now. There are some things I can get through, but there are some things I can't."

"Besides, they probably hate me more than they hate him. They hate me for ruining their teacher's reputation. If it weren't for his tragic end, they might have believed that their teacher would have been even worse off than I had..."

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

The conversation between the two tacitly stopped there.

"By the way, my daughter, my newly acquired trainee racehorse girl, Miura Bourbon, could you help me with your part of the training for White Disaster?"

"Me?" Glancing at the racehorse girl before him, whose expression was cold yet evoked pity, Golden Victory shook his head.

"No, if you give it to me, everything you've built up before will likely be shattered and rebuilt from scratch."

"Do you really have that kind of guts, Old Black?"

Kuronuma: "..."

He understood perfectly what the other person meant: they didn't approve of his personality training, which was almost entirely geared towards the race.

“A racehorse girl is still a horse girl, and also a person. I know that.”

"But Bourbon's mother wanted me to train her to be an excellent racehorse girl. That's all I know. Could you use that as a foundation?"

"Laying the foundation..." Golden Victory repeated the words after a moment's thought upon hearing the other party's reply.

As a trainer, it would be helpful to respond to another trainer with this kind of answer.

Basically, it's a behavior of swallowing one's pride and begging for help from the other party.

From this perspective, Old Black's personality has indeed changed a lot...

She glanced at Miura Happen, who hadn't expressed any opinion on any of this, and then at the old man whose breathing was slightly erratic.

Ha, those are nice words, but people are still not reconciled.

"No! Don't!"

"White Disaster, you..."

I initially thought that the other person's prankish response was a sign that the person was having another episode.

Before Kuronuma could continue answering, Golden Victory added:

"I can teach you my training methods, but I will handle the corrective training for the issues with the small wavelet."

"Of course, I can only help in this regard. To be honest, I don't think I share the same mindset or views as most horse racing girls."

No... that's too conservative a statement.

If we told you you were a mutant from Uma Musume, none of us would doubt it...

Although judging from your appearance, you do indeed appear to be some kind of mutant...

However, Kuronuma was somewhat moved when he heard Golden Victory make such a promise.

At least the other party is willing to help and care about their daughter's problems.

This is indeed a crucial matter for a clumsy father...

"So...it's a pleasure doing business with you?"

The pure white horse girl quickly reached out her hand, grinned, and shook hands with the other person's hesitantly extended hand. On the other hand, she took the hand of the somewhat bewildered Miura Bourbon.

"It's a pleasure working with you, but I have some things to take care of right now."

"Let's meet at Central Teresen Academy then."

Chapter 49 Central Teresen Academy

Wow...

Is this the legendary Central Tereson Academy?

The petite chestnut-colored horse girl, radiant with newfound beauty, strolled around the enormous complex of buildings, her expression one of admiration as she gazed at the endlessly stretching structures.

Central Teresen Academy.

It has everything that racehorse girls need, from venues of various sizes to well-equipped training facilities, and even some leisure and entertainment venues.

All of this has created a city within a city, a phenomenon that the local Teresen Academy simply cannot match...

Perhaps because the new radiance arrived in the afternoon rather than the morning, even from the school gate, she could see many racehorse girls wearing Central Teresen Academy uniforms coming and going, their youthful appearances as they went about their activities in various parts of the school.

They are similar to other students, but more open and free than ordinary students.

Such a free model is something that the new and glorious school, located just a wall away from the academy, greatly yearns for.

Just then, a mature female voice appeared beside the newly radiant woman, startling her and causing her to freeze for a moment.

"Um, I'm sorry, we're not open to the general public today."

"Huh?!"

A mature woman in a green business suit looks at the new brilliance with a smile.

Did this lady just come by?

How come I didn't find anything?!

She was somewhat surprised, and she was certain of one thing.

If the other party hadn't suddenly appeared from a blind spot...

All I can say is that this young lady is unfathomable...

If the woman managing access to the school gate is this scary, is this some kind of central-level authority?!

"Miss?" the other person gently reminded the newly radiant light again.

"Ah, ah! No, I'm sorry, I'm a temporary student at Central Teresen Academy, and this is my pass!"

First, he bowed and apologized, then handed his pass to the other party for inspection.

She accepted the brand-new, gleaming ID and nodded after glancing at it a few times.

"Well... that's true. So you're from the logistics department. Welcome to the largest horse racing girls training institution in Japan."

"My name is Tsuna, and we'll be seeing each other often from now on. Feel free to ask me any questions. Also, regarding the pass, Hikari, you can wear it as a name tag so there won't be any misunderstandings."

With that, Tsuna returned the pass to the other party.

Ah...this older sister is a kind person too.

A pause appeared on her radiant face, and then she remembered what she should ask.

"Okay, okay, um! Excuse me! I'd like to ask where the trainer dormitories are located. I've already made plans with my friend."

"Friend? What's their name?" Miss Junchuan frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Because trainers' dormitories are usually not located within the academy, but even so, there are still quite a few people living on campus, and their locations are scattered. What's your friend's name, Hikari?"

"Golden Victory".

"Huh?! Bai Zai? Bai Zai is back?"

At this point, the gentle lady's expression changed instantly.

In an instant, roughly one-hundredth of a second.

An extremely terrifying aura emanated from the woman's seemingly casual stomp of her foot, but it lasted so shortly that even her own nerves couldn't process it.

It was as if I suddenly felt inexplicably anxious, as if I shared similar emotions with the woman in front of me, achieving a wonderful state of empathy.
