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

The previous actions, including unleashing higher hormone levels, were tantamount to suicidal behavior towards the body, even though racehorses are physically stronger than humans.

"As for Lao Hei, he's mostly experimenting. After all, the treatment plan itself needs to be matched with his training and operation, and there are some prerequisites that need to be met. Whether separating the parts can shorten the time is another matter, but it will definitely take a lot of effort."

"Well, Tamamo's condition isn't too bad, is it? If we're optimistic, she might be revived when the Emperor is enjoying the autumn scenery."

"Keep up the good work! Now that you've become a triple crown horse girl, you should have more confidence in yourself. Don't be too timid about doing what you want to do."

Even as they spoke, and even though Komiyayama's expression shifted from worry about Tamamo's Cross recovery to blaming him, Golden Victory showed no intention of backing down.

Sensing the "what's the use" attitude of his senior, who also serves as a trainer, Golden Victory, Tamamo Cross, being a feathered creature, naturally wouldn't back down at this moment.

"Hey, although we didn't actually say it out loud at the time, Golden Victory-senpai, what you just guessed was indeed correct."

"So, shall we meet on the field then?" "Definitely! See you on the field!"

......

Treson Academy, Student Council.

Ever since Golden Victory, the infamous racehorse girl, was somewhat whitewashed, she now walks in and out of the student council with an air of arrogance.

Because she no longer needs to care about what others think!

To be honest, this pure white horse girl didn't care about the student council's opinion at all before, and it was mostly Rudolf's symbol and Maruzensky's side who handled and resolved the situation themselves.

"How is the Tamamo Cross?"

Rudolf, who was in the student council president's office, started by asking about Pure White Horse Girl, which prompted Golden Victory to raise an eyebrow and tease him a bit.

"Oh? Why are you suddenly concerned about Tamamo-no-Mae? Isn't this typical Imperial Palace supremacy?"

"Ahem, after all, I am now considered your team's advisor, so it's normal for me to keep an eye on the post-race conditions of the racehorses."

Knowing that the other party meant that most of the people and matters that he cared about on the side of Golden Victory were related to the East Sea Emperor, and that compared to others, especially Oguri Hat and Emperor Treasure, who were the East Sea Emperor's opponents, it was almost like the difference between a biological father and an adopted child.

In particular, she had previously been ridiculed by Representative Qianming and Golden Victory regarding issues related to Oguri's hat, and they were just short of explicitly stating her dereliction of duty as the team's advisor.

What? You're saying that Gold Victory, as the trainer, should be blamed for Oguri's growth?

How should I put it...?

Within the Golden Family, the role of the team advisor is essentially to fill in all the gaps in the affairs of the head of the family, a pure white horse who always likes to do things her own way and has a wildly imaginative mind.

Hearing Rudolph's symbolic attempts to salvage the situation, Golden Victory's facial expressions became incredibly rich and varied.

"She's probably in a very conflicted state right now."

Leaning against the table, her eyes slightly narrowed, she seemed to be thinking or trying to understand the mindset of Ashima Musume Tamamo Cross at that time.

"If I want to recover quickly and get back into peak training condition, the most likely chance to beat me, from all aspects, is the Emperor's Autumn Festival, and even after that, there's the Japan Cup with its many international horse race girls, like the Kotama.

"We'll see. What if we really do lose to a foreign racehorse in the Japan Cup? But that doesn't mean she won."

"Besides wanting to take advantage of this best opportunity to see if they can defeat me directly, I guess another thought is that I hope I can get used to the feeling of facing a strong opponent as soon as possible so that I don't end up losing due to an accident."

After all, as a Triple Crown racehorse girl of this era, Tamamo Cross knows best the racing ability of the top racehorse girls of her generation.

Meguro Dylan and Golden City might be her rivals, but in Tamamo Cross's view, neither of them has any chance against that pure white horse girl.

As for the Japanese Emperor who fought her to the death in the previous Takarazuka Memorial match, he also chose to retire because of this match and directly told Tamamo Cross that she could not compete with the White Disaster who had once given her psychological trauma, so he definitely cannot be counted.

Well, Tamamo Cross specifically told Golden Victory about the retired horse girl, the Japanese Emperor, and that's when she remembered that she did seem to have encountered a rather troublesome horse girl during her struggles in the past.

It's probably... a tiny bug that's a little rough on the skin, huh?

"White Disaster, you really are..."

Rudolf was not surprised to hear the other party so easily express the inner contradictions and dilemmas of the Tamamo Cross.

After all, no matter how despicable the other party was, they were still Tamamo Cross's trainer. What impressed her more was that the other party directly exposed the problem, without even giving Tamamo Cross's trainer, Komiyayama, a psychological buffer or time to think about how to solve the problem.

"If you keep doing this, you'll probably get scolded to death by Komiyama."

"Hey, if we don't make these things clear, I think it will create a lot of obstacles for Tamamo-no-Mae's recovery or progress. Rather than hurting this little rascal, we might as well just say it out loud."

"Let's talk about it later. This problem probably started at the beginning of the competition, but the number one threat, the Japanese emperor, kept that guy from getting too cocky and forced him to focus on the immediate problem. But now that the competition is over, his thoughts are simply unstoppable."

“We’ll see…” After a pause, the pure white horse girl pursed her lips and said, “Tamamo Cross is definitely not the only horse girl in this predicament. Every single one of our team members will probably end up in the same situation.”

It can only be said that this was a hurdle that Golden Victory cultivated, a hurdle that its own team members had to overcome, and that they ultimately couldn't move forward because of Golden Victory during their continuous ascent.

The solution isn't difficult: we can't continue to worship or even deify the Golden Victory. But how to do that seems to be another question altogether.

This is probably the main reason why the two met today.

Incidentally, today Maruzen went to the playground to accompany his friends for group training on momentum and techniques.

This includes, but is not limited to, horse-girl races, horse-girl races, and junior horse-girl races.

Unfortunately, Tamamo was hospitalized and Teiho was in a semi-crippled state and couldn't run at all, so the number of the remaining horse girls became somewhat awkward.

"That's simple. White Disaster, just let the sea lose to them during the practice matches. That will give those younger horse girls confidence, right?"

After saying that, the president revealed a mischievous smile.

"Tsk tsk, where did you learn this way of insulting people and your tone? But what you said is indeed a method."

"But—"

Despite having said that, Pure White Horse Girl showed no sign of backing down.

"Giving in is out of the question. We might give them another chance in our lifetime, but we will never lose to them in this kind of joking manner."

"Because you've achieved what Golden Victory has, you feel you have no room for improvement? What if you compete against Golden Victory in his match and lose, and then you're devastated? Hey, why?"

"Is it because someone has already won the Triple Crown? Well, we still have two Triple Crowns and are about to win a Triple Crown. There are also international competitions waiting for them to catch up."

"Of course, we trust our friends, and we'll also try to encourage them in some ways."

"Let me think... shall we start with the Imperial Palace?"

They seemed to have gained the glory they deserved, but they were only one step away from achieving their goal, a final moment of despair.

Putting aside physical condition, psychologically, both Golden Victory and Rudolph Symbol, the two horse girls, still hope that the genius horse girl who has already realized her talent can cheer up and continue to move forward.

Chapter 251 Igniting Confidence

Watching the female horses galloping hard on the playground, the petite female horse leaning on her cane couldn't help but show an extremely envious expression.

"That's wonderful..."

While this feeling isn't entirely unfamiliar to me, I've occasionally experienced that uncomfortable feeling of being unable to move for a day or two after the domain state ended.

This is the first time the East Sea Emperor has encountered a situation where he has been told he won't be able to play for several months.

"I will need to rest for several months before I have a chance to return to the competition, and there is also the risk that I will not be able to withstand too intense running conditions in the future."

"The reason for all this is that I stepped onto this stage too early, without giving my body time to fully develop..."

My feelings are a bit complicated.

Even when she was lying in the Uma Musume Sanatorium, she was taken care of by her two seniors, Golden Victory and Rudolph, and even Oguri Hat-senpai made a special trip to see her.

But this feeling is really... too subtle.

"That's great, everyone's legs are so strong."

Just as Di Bao was staring at the various healthy and strong legs on the playground and muttering to herself, a familiar voice next to her directly criticized her:

"What's so great about it? We were also suspended for half a year, and you've only just gone through the real recovery period. You're going to have a tough time later."

"Senior White Disaster... will my leg ever get better?"

Seeing that the pure white horse girl was wearing a bright red sports jacket, which was quite rare for her, Golden Victory hadn't really worn this jacket since the Golden Family was established.

When she heard her say that this was to remove bad labels and bad impressions, Di Bao didn't understand, but she didn't have the extra energy to care about why the other person wore it again today.

“I really wanted to just tell you that you’ll be fine once you’ve rested enough, but that’s definitely not what you, the Emperor of the East Sea, want to hear. Hmm… you’ve been reporting to the Black Swamp for several days now and you still have this kind of mood, what do you think?”

“I don’t know… Mr. Kuronuma said that my physical problems should be solvable through his research. He also said that even if he couldn’t do it himself, there was still your aura and techniques, Senior White Disaster, who could help.”

"Tsk tsk, this guy really still has his eye on our physique, huh? But I don't know why training in aura techniques for a long time helps with physical recovery. I'll just leave it to Suko to figure out."

"Um... Senior White Disaster, didn't you have any time to help Hayako afterwards?"

After getting to know Kuronuma and the new, brilliant research department, he naturally also met Alice, the horse-girl researcher. Even though Kuronuma praised her highly, Teiha was still a little uneasy about a research genius who was younger than him.

Now, when I hear the phrase "golden victory," I don't think it's a sign of trust in Sugo, but rather a way for Hakuba-chan to avoid trouble. I even twist it to think that the other party doesn't actually want to spend a lot of time on me.

"Huh? Me?"

The move was a straightforward attempt to shift the blame, but upon closer reflection, it seems that Golden Victory doesn't have much to do in June and July.

The really busy time is from July to August, because that's when the new generation of Uma Musume (horse girls) will start preparing for their debut race. So, they might be able to participate in their first G1 Grand Prix race in December.

Oh right, the training results for the dual-turbo setup are almost complete. If possible, we should let her try the selection trials or even fast forward to the debut competition during this period.

As for the tournament that was also held in June, this year's East Sea Darby has already concluded as scheduled.

As expected, Ashima Musume Fujimasa, who lives in Kasamatsu, won the championship. After winning, she packed her bags and will soon be officially enrolling at Central Tereson Academy.

Although there is a trend of merging Central Race Horse Girl and Regional Race Horse Girl at the moment, it is better to directly transfer your registration to Central Race Horse Girl while there are still some troubles between the two sides.

As for the speculation made by the Uma Musume Association, it seems that the two sides have reached a compromise or a buffer period.

Perhaps out of concern that foreign racehorse girls would be outmatched without being exposed to the techniques of momentum, or perhaps because there wasn't enough time to bring in enough top-tier foreign racehorse girls, the local racehorse girl association chose to put the operation on hold for the time being.

Just this December, following the Arima Memorial, the dirt race between the local and central horse-themed associations will determine the winner.

Of course, the Central Horse Girls Association, known for its cunning and manipulative nature, would never let such a crucial matter concerning its own policies be decided by a single match.

In their view, this was more of a last-ditch effort by the local horse girl association, and a futile one at that.

"No, there are things, but not many. I've been thinking about whether to take everyone out for a training camp in July."

"Really... That's wonderful, truly wonderful..."

"Hey, hey, hey, being gloomy isn't your persona, Di Bao. And don't think we're giving up on you or anything. The main thing is to solve your physical problems. These problems are only slightly annoying when they occur. Once they're completely cured, needless to say, our team can definitely do it."

In Golden Victory's view, since modern medicine cannot guarantee something, then let's leave it to the brand-new medical training system and the momentum system full of Uma Musume characteristics.

"As for shortening the recovery time, we don't have any ideas right now. If it were really possible, would we need to put ourselves through this?"

Pure White Horse Girl doesn't need to use crutches occasionally like she did before, and she doesn't have to walk in excruciating pain every day and apply medicine regularly at night. But the current situation of not being able to compete is just as painful for Golden Victory.
