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

Oguri Hat: "..."

He caught up with Meguro Ardan again, but he was still less than ten meters away from the Emperor of the East Sea, no, less than three horse lengths away!

Given this disparity, she could only feel the other person's legs relentlessly accelerating forward!

Both of them had a Mercedes-Benz at the back.

Both are very strong runners.

In terms of competition experience, the two are now about the same level.

But... but why did I lose to her?

lose?

Did I lose?

Am I going to lose again?

As if realizing something, the past chapters were constantly being revisited.

What exactly is the difference between myself and an emperor?

Time was tight, and there was no way to imagine what would happen; all we could do was keep running.

However, the stark speed difference that arises from running has become a vicious cycle.

The two sides were not far apart, and Xiao Lima could see the ferocious face of the East Sea Emperor as he continued to run forward.

Why...why does the emperor appear to be in so much pain?

"Shouldn't running on the field be a joyful experience?"

Unconsciously, I asked myself that question.

Besides that, Oguri Hat's running speed has reached its limit, and her momentum and skills have also been exhausted to the limit.

Compared to the horse girl in the team who truly excels in charisma and technique, neither Oguri Hat nor the East Blue Emperor are particularly strong in this aspect...

Then, the voice answered her.

"I'm so happy! But the thought of losing is incredibly painful!"

"What I pursue is not the process of the competition, but the victory!"

"So stop copying me! Be yourself! Be the version of yourself that truly wants to win!"

"Senior Oguri Hat!"

It's like a final declaration from the victor to the vanquished, and it also signifies the conclusion of the battle between the two sides.

The pre-match popularity, the initial position in the match, the initial response, the interplay between the two sides in the middle of the match, and the extent to which the opponent targets the team in the later stages of the match.

Horse Girls racing is never about winning or losing between two people, especially in top-level races where the skill gap between the two competitors is not significant.

But besides these, there is something else, which is also the most important.

It is the last secret weapon of the Emperor of the East Sea.

The aura of others that clung to her legs during the match.

Undeterred by the malicious intent of others, she chose to let each small act become a driving force propelling her forward...

All I can say is that the outcome of this match depends on too many factors.

"Click..." "Crossing the finish line!!!"

Between reality and illusion, the sounds intertwined yet were so vivid that they evoked a sense of heartache.

Chapter 235 The Weak Emperor of the East Sea

When a competition ends, there are winners and losers; this is an inevitable occurrence in all competitive sports.

The difference between first and second place is one and a half horse lengths. It's not a lot, but it's not a little either, because the difference is enough to determine who will win.

Standing on the track, holding up two fingers, this female racehorse is none other than the winner of today's Darby race in Japan, and also the highly popular female racehorse Tokai Teio, who has already achieved her second undefeated treble.

Oguri Hattori still came in second place, and Mejiro Ardan came in third, with a close margin. This was his first time in this top-level arena, and he immediately secured a top-three finish.

It can only be said that the level of the opponent in this match was simply too strong, but the problem is that it seems unrealistic to really wrong Megumi Ardan because of this statement.

Since the key is to use enemies to outmaneuver them, the most important prerequisite is to have several opponents of similar strength.

In any case, the Japanese Darby match is indeed over, and what remains is the final winner's stage.

Golden Victory stood by the railing, his face expressionless, seemingly preoccupied with what to have for dinner.

Well, in Golden Victory's view, the competition doesn't really have much to do with her as a trainer. Everything had already been prepared for the racehorse girl on the field before the competition, and all that was left was to trust her opponent.

There's not much to say about the pure white horse girl, but Representative Chiaki next to her has something to say.

"Today's match was, in many ways, completely beyond what I could have imagined, but there were still some things I could control, such as the outcome of the match."

"From the very beginning of the match between the Emperor of the East Sea and Oguri Hat, I already knew who was more likely to win, and the odds of winning were not small."

Upon hearing Qianming say such a thing, Golden Victory was inevitably drawn to it, but at first glance, Pure White Horse Girl thought that what the other party said must not be a good thing.

Is this guy trying to stir up trouble or something?

Raising an eyebrow, and mindful of the surrounding audience, he didn't immediately use the familiar lines they both knew, but instead asked the other person:

"The outcome was already decided before the race even started. What caused Oguri Hat to be relegated to the perennial runner-up position? A local racer girl can't beat a central racer girl after all? What, Chiaki, are you planning to say this?"

"No way, no way, with the Uma Musume Association already deciding to merge, there are actually people within the association who are going backwards and directly mentioning the old system, right?"

After all, he was the one who brought the little chestnut hat from the countryside to the center, although at that time Rudolf seemed to have noticed the existence of this goat-haired monster.

Hmm... it's hard to say?

After all, the other party may have only gotten the information by chance. However, she also received the information that the suspended Golden Victory went to Kasamatsu and stayed in Kasamatsu Tressen. Considering this, it doesn't seem quite right to directly say that the president is wise.

"Don't give me that. What I want to say is that you, Bai Zai, caused problems in this match. You don't need to retaliate against me beforehand."

"The inherent difference between Oguri Hat and the Emperor of the East Sea is not something that can be understood simply because they are newcomers with little experience and strength."

"Even if Oguri Hat had the advantage at the beginning, the problem is that now, the overall strength of the East Blue Emperor is undoubtedly much greater than that of Oguri Hat."

"One knows how to grow and seizes every opportunity to become stronger after recognizing her weaknesses, while the other does not know how to improve and can only bury herself in running like a traditional female horse, even if she learns momentum techniques, she still focuses on the race."

Hearing the other person apply their own trainer's issues to the things being taught, Pure White Horse Girl couldn't help but find it amusing and immediately retorted:

"Hey, that's how we train here. I won't favor anyone in what I teach, but if anyone is interested in various skills or tactical thinking and wants to know how to do it, we'll definitely help them if they come to us after a team practice match or at other times."

I won't interfere too much with my teammates' growth, after all, my time is limited, and if I have to consider the competition factor in the future, I will have even less time.

However, if a racehorse girl takes the initiative to approach her and asks her about various things, then the pure white horse girl is unlikely to refuse.

In Golden Victory's eyes, both Teibo and Oguri Hat are top students, but there is a difference between the two: Teibo, who is a diligent student who chooses to study with the academic genius Bai Zai, and Oguri Hat, who thinks he can learn on his own after reading the textbook.

If there really is a gap, as Representative Qianming said, then it must lie in this aspect.

However, it wasn't a matter of innate differences; in her view, it was all about hard work...

Before Golden Victory could figure out how to retaliate, Representative Qianming suddenly blurted out:

"You mean to say that the difference in the initiative to learn is not an innate difference, right? But unfortunately, that's exactly what I wanted to say."

"White Disaster, do you think... it's possible that Oguri Hat didn't think of these things? Because of her background, because of her environment, which is inherently different from Central Pony Girls. Even if she transfers to Central Teresen Academy, in an environment with a lot of competition, how much do you think she can learn in the kind of things that should be cultivated from a young age?"

With his arms crossed and leaning against the railing, the expression on Pure White Horse Girl's face as he looked at Golden Victory gave her an inexplicable urge to beat him up.

"Tsk, what you're saying sounds just like what Rudolph would say. If it weren't for the fact that you've won fewer championships than her, I would have thought I was seeing another Rudolph symbol."

Representative Qianming: "...That's not the point! Besides, what kind of metaphor is this, stirring up trouble!"

"The key point is that even if Rudolph did notice this problem, she would more likely just pass it on to Golden Victory, who is the trainer, without offering any reminders."

“Even though Rokuhei Ginjiro is acting as Oguri Hat’s trainer, he is actually still in Kasamatsu, not at Central Tereson Academy. In other words, the responsibility of educating Oguri Hat falls on your shoulders.”

"The East Sea Emperor has the traditional training and education path of a prestigious horse girl, as well as the resources provided by Rudolph's symbol, not to mention the help of your Golden Victory in terms of momentum, skills and practical operation. Just how high does Oguri Hat's talent have to be for her to beat the East Sea Emperor?"

The criticism was direct and blunt, almost to the point of being an insult like "you're a noob trainer"...

Because she doesn't have the right to criticize.

Even if Tamamo Cross's two crowns of Golden Victory are not listed in her qualifications, as long as the Golden Family bears her mark, it can still be attributed to Golden Victory's achievements.

Not to mention Tokai no Teiko, who has already won two G1 races and will be an undefeated triple crown horse girl if she wins the Chrysanthemum Sho.

Even Oguri Hats' two second-place finishes in G1 can be seen as a testament to the formidable nature of the Golden Victory team's dominance in the top two. It's just a pity that Super Little Bay was let down by Mejiro Aldan; otherwise, the team might even have had a chance to dominate the top three.

Golden Victory maintained her usual style, engaging in conversations with a slightly aggressive and proactive tone, but she really didn't expect Representative Qianming to have such a strong reaction.

Forget about the Imperial Palace, the problem is that Oguri Hat has absolutely nothing to do with Representative Qianming.

So, since we're both in the same boat and have suffered setbacks, we're showing each other sympathy?

Seemingly calm, but actually harboring more wicked thoughts, the pure white horse girl didn't immediately respond after hearing the long string of words from the other party. Instead, she offered a different way of answering:

"...We've never actually touched these things before."

"You used to... tell me which Japanese female racehorse has won at least eight championships? I want to go and see how she did it. It's better if alien monsters don't compete with ordinary monsters."

Seemingly angered by the other party's words, Qianming also knew very well that it would be difficult to make Golden Victory realize his mistake in a short time.

The difference between this racehorse girl and the so-called old-fashioned is that she knows how to change herself, how to accept all kinds of information, and she has indeed changed the era of racehorse girls.

But she still wanted the other party to admit their mistake; she needed to make sure that Kim Seung-ri clearly understood exactly where he had gone wrong.

Otherwise, given this pure white horse girl's stubbornness in her beliefs, she would likely continue on her path without admitting her mistakes, even if she hadn't noticed the problem.

Perhaps it's because the other party has done so many things since their debut that can be said to have changed the racehorse girl community, which has made this Triple Crown racehorse girl, who was once her racing rival, have higher expectations for Golden Victory.

"The object of your comparison was wrong from the beginning. Let me put it this way, didn't you have this consideration when you were breeding racehorse girls?"

"Because the Emperor of the East Sea has Rudolph behind him, and Tamamo Cross already has enough experience in the Central Race, we should focus on training Oguri-chan among the race girls that have already competed, and guide the others mainly with their spirit."

"But this order was later disrupted by the Horse Girl Association's arrangements. The overlap between the trainer and racehorse girl identities, as well as the conflict of sharing racehorse girls with other trainers, forced you to use a more realistic way of thinking to help your only debut racehorse girl, Tokai Emperor, achieve better results. But with the change in the environment, even if you no longer take the initiative, you forget to make adjustments because you are busy."

Golden Victory: "..."

"Well... but the matter of fairness in our family is left to Rudolf, who is also our chairman. If we're talking about the division of labor, then she definitely has a problem with not noticing this."

Hearing this statement from the other party only elicited a blank stare from Qianming towards Huang Jinsheng.
