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

I was recommended to join Bai Zai's team...

In that case, wouldn't I become a doll, a consolation gift offered by the president to comfort Senior White Disaster?

She is indeed more sensitive in this regard than others...

"I......"

"I...I don't want to!"

"Why, why should my career be decided by just a few words from you?!"

"Even if she's my favorite student council president, I don't want to become a consolation gift she gives to her friend!"

It was as if it had been prepared in advance, a few words born from the extreme distortion of one's own mind, which were then fully revealed through an emotional outburst.

The next moment, the Emperor of the East Sea burst out of the door.

Only a slightly bewildered crowd remained standing there, with Rudolf standing out the most.

Chapter 58

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, and the three veteran female racehorses present looked at each other without saying a word.

Looking at the expressions on their faces, they more or less realized where they had gone wrong.

"Oh dear... it seems that Emperor-chan has misunderstood your good intentions, President."

Maru Zenki, who did not participate in the discussion and believed that she, as an objective observer, was best able to see the situation clearly, was the first to state her judgment.

"No, it was indeed my mistake."

"If the Empress is unwilling to choose the White Disaster, then the top trainer team should also be within this consideration."

“Even for some female racehorses who are about to retire and their partners, such a combination, even if it takes a little longer, seems more suitable to her in my opinion.”

As the aggrieved party, Golden Victory decisively chose to criticize his opponent.

"You're just rejecting me outright, aren't you?"

"In the end, it's all because Rudolph, you planted too many negative impressions of me in that child's mind before, and as a result, you suddenly recommended me as the Emperor's trainer today, contrary to your usual behavior."

"Isn't this the feeling of a malicious parent who complains to their child about having a bad friend, but then one day gives their child to that bad friend in return?"

"This way, the child will definitely think that the parents don't want them anymore. If they don't resist, they won't be a child. So you really have low emotional intelligence."

Despite appearing composed when directly reprimanded, the emperor's tone betrayed a hint of his growing vulnerability.

"...Didn't you cooperate very well just now? What, you seize every opportunity to pry open a corner and go full speed ahead, huh? As a senior, don't you know how to take a break? What happened to your psychology expertise, which you're usually so proud of?"

"Wait, wait, wait, seniors, shouldn't we be going out to find the East Sea Emperor's daughter first? Why aren't you all worried?"

The others paused slightly upon hearing the mention of "new glory."

In the end, it was Golden Victory who provided the answer:

"Why...? Maybe it's because the Emperor Treasure will definitely be surrounded as soon as it goes out?"

Scratching his face, Golden Victory wore a matter-of-fact expression, while the two female riders beside him glanced around, seemingly acknowledging Golden Victory's answer.

After all, everyone present, besides being new and radiant, had a certain level of age, experience, and social skills.

In short, the first thing to do in such situations is never to act impulsively.

The saying "concern leads to confusion" applies here.

"Anyway, it's only early in the evening and there are still a lot of people at the academy. Let's notify the other student council members to help keep an eye on the Emperor's current situation. Rudolph can take care of the rest of the time."

"It's rare that you're not planning to intervene, White Disaster? Use your usual psychological tactics to seize the opportunity and even disrupt the opponent's thinking."

"Just like what you did to the Emperor after the match."

He was exposed on the spot, but Golden Victory wasn't shameless.

"Since it failed, it means the plan wasn't well thought out, so I gave up and didn't want to continue."

Having said that, Golden Victory thought for a moment and added something to the symbolism of Rudolph:

"Well, she actually listens to you a lot. Such a child's heart is naturally easily drastically changed by a small change."

"She's just a child, you can just coax her. As for what choice she ultimately makes, I don't really care."

After the persuasion ended, she felt no remorse for the unexpected turn of events. Instead, she smiled knowingly at what the emperor would do later.

Since you have even a slight intention to trust my thoughts.

So what choice would you make her make?

My innocent and adorable Luna-chan, who was initially taught by her upbringing to only know how to blindly follow the rules.

Even now, Golden Victory is unclear about the actual relationship between the East Sea Emperor and the Rudolf symbol.

In her view, however, the other party's actions were indeed for the good of the Emperor of the East Sea, and in some details, they could even be described as spoiling him rotten.

"It would be more accurate to say that it would be her loss if she, the Empress of the East Sea, failed to seize this opportunity to join my team."

"A ship of the new era won't delay its departure for the sake of one person!"

It sounds impressive, but even Golden Victory can't be guaranteed.

What will be the destination of this ship's voyage?

Overcoming the high walls of the times is no easy task.

......

It was around 7 p.m., and many people had finished dinner and chose to spend some time strolling around the campus.

As a wealthy and powerful institution, Central Teresen Academy naturally kept its lights on during this time.

In the semi-primitive environment filled with interplay of light and shadow and lush vegetation, this place often becomes the best spot for friends and family to enjoy the scenery or even for lovers to meet secretly.

At this moment, the Emperor of the East Sea was huddled in a secluded spot, his body almost folded in half and completely curled up.

If someone nearby saw this horrific, self-destructive scene on the girl's part, they would probably immediately report it to the student council and inquire about her current mental state.

Even if someone secretly practices yoga or flexibility exercises, unless they have an exceptionally unusual personality, it's unlikely that anyone would practice while crying...

My feelings are complicated.

When I rushed out, it was more of an impulse born of reluctance.

But when I slowed down and arrived here...

The emperor of the East Sea felt like a complete idiot.

"I'm like a child who never grows up..."

She complained a little about herself, but she knew that everyone was doing it for her own good.

Leaving aside those trainers who volunteered themselves, offering gifts to curry favor and claiming they wanted to lead him to victory, the East Sea Emperor didn't have the qualifications to trust them.

However, Golden Victory, this racehorse girl, was responsible for training other racehorse girls as a trainer during her suspension.

Even her beloved president was willing to put aside her usual prejudice against this racehorse girl and suggested that she choose to join her team.

The emperor of the East Sea was not stupid.

She could tell from this unusual action alone that the emperor trusted Bai Zai.

But... some things are not facts that a person can easily accept simply by reversing the situation.

On the contrary, she was terrified.

Afraid to admit it was because he was too willful, Rudolf wanted to keep his distance from her.

I'm afraid that I'm too clingy and that people will find me annoying.

That's why they would do something that pushes them into the fire pit called "golden victory"...

Under tension, blood rushes to the head.

Ultimately, he did this foolish thing...

After regaining her composure and thinking for a long time, the genius horse girl slowly uttered a few words.

"I was so stupid..."

The thing to think about now is how to apologize and make amends, right?

However, just as she slowly uttered those words, a familiar voice beside her refuted the Emperor of the East Sea.

"Feeling fear in the face of the unknown and abnormal phenomena is an innate instinct of living beings; you are not stupid."

"It's okay if you don't like the White Disaster, but I still hope you can think carefully about your future and not act impulsively."

"Is that alright, Your Majesty?"

She slightly raised her head, looking aggrieved.

Unwilling, immature tears stained her cheeks, and the emotion of receiving care again welled up around her eyes.

Gradually filling up, it was ultimately held back by the pride of the genius horse girl herself.

Tears of happiness lingered on the edge of her crystal-clear sapphire blue eyes.

Even if, in the eyes of the person in front of him, this is just another instance of his crybaby junior about to shed tears.

"President..."

Looking at the senior in front of me who cares about me and is willing to accommodate me.

Perhaps... it's time for me to make a decision.

Take real steps toward maturity and toward the future you aspire to.

Chapter 59 Look at that moon, so big and round!

"Hey? Oh, how are you? Oh, I'm glad you're alright."

After receiving the phone call, Jin Sheng won. Hearing the seemingly obvious yet somewhat reassuring reply from the other party...
