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

She was more interested in seeing how capable these people were.

Then, after my debut, I hope that one day I can defeat them!

As for the result of the match, that became a secondary matter.

If there were no better options after this, the Emperor of the East Sea already had his answer in his heart.

"Well... speaking of which, now that everyone's here, how about I offer you a ride? There seems to be plenty of room..."

"No!" "No!" "No!"

Three crisp rejections.

Unexpectedly, besides its newfound brilliance...

The two student council seniors, Rudolf and Maruzensky, unanimously and decisively rejected the other's suggestion.

An extremely terrifying suggestion.

This synchronized response instantly brought their eyes together.

A glance confirmed it: they were all poor horse girls who had been ravaged by that Golden Victory car...

"Tch, you guys actually rejected my interdimensional travel ship. Oh well, it's your loss if you don't know how to appreciate it."

The only person present was the Emperor of the East Sea. This horse girl looked at everyone with a puzzled expression, as if she wanted to speak but didn't know where to begin.

What exactly happened?

Is Senior White Disaster's car really that scary?

The small body was filled with great confusion.

No, the bigger question is why Maruzen, who is famous for driving sports cars, also joined the ranks of those who refused.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have anything to be afraid of anymore, right?

I'm very curious.

Curiosity made his whole body tremble slightly.

However, seeing everyone's obvious refusal to discuss the reasons and their decisive rejection, the Emperor of the East Sea found it inconvenient to ask further.

Fortunately, the student council quickly arranged long-distance transportation, and everyone boarded a multi-person car and headed towards their destination, Kasamatsu Racecourse.

The Golden Victory Steel Monster can only stay at Central Teresen Academy for the time being, waiting for its owner to have another chance to activate it.

That time might not be far off...

Chapter 67 Thank you, Kitahara (Bonus Chapter 3/6)

Kasamatsu Racecourse.

As a local racecourse, it differs significantly from the Central Racecourse in terms of scale and facilities.

However, the Kasamatsu Racecourse today was so crowded that it could only be described as an exaggerated scene.

[Two of Kasamatsu's top-tier goose-haired horse girls face off against the central goose-haired horse girl—a showdown at the top of the goose-haired world!]

The slogan alone is enough to be awe-inspiring.

Today's competition was almost unprecedented for the locals, and even attracted many people from other regions to travel long distances in advance.

These people are willing to spend a lot of time just to watch this short match that lasts less than two minutes.

Perhaps this is the charm of Uma Musume (Horse Girl) and Uma Musume (Horse Girl Race)?

Kasamatsu, the contestant's preparation area.

Unlike the usual racer preparation area, this area deliberately separates local racehorse girls from central racehorse girls, seemingly due to the assessment process.

"Hey, long time no see! Little Chestnut Hat, Little March!"

Upon seeing the pure white horse girl wearing a bright red sports jacket appear, the two reacted differently.

"Golden Victory, senior!" "Golden Victory, boss!"

They addressed each other differently, but their feelings for this senior were the same.

It can only be said that the changes that Golden Victory brought to them were truly enormous.

"Miss Golden Victory." "Miss Golden Victory."

Their respective trainers, Kitahara and Shibasaki, also greeted Golden Victory.

"Everything's great! It's nice to see everyone here!"

No one understood the true meaning of Pure White Horse Girl's words at that moment.

No, perhaps someone does know?

The racehorse girl, Shining Radiance, greeted Oguri Hat and Fujimasa March from the side.

"It seems like Oguri and March have changed a lot, become... become more amazing?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

After all, judging others' strength by the naked eye and drawing conclusions based on experience or intuition is not exactly a strength of the new brilliance.

She observed the subtle reactions in normal movement and breathing, including fine muscle reflexes.

As for more, the new radiance was unknown to her until she touched it.

"Oh? It seems you learned a lot at Central Teresen Academy, didn't you, Little Glory?"

Kitahara looked at the other person with a hint of surprise.

The new radiance before my eyes was a stark contrast to the image I had of her before.

Have you become...more confident?

Although she was his horse racing girl back then, Kitahara himself was well aware of the problem.

Her talent as a racehorse girl, even from a local perspective, is somewhat lacking...

However, when Golden Victory responded that he would train the other party.

On many occasions, he reflected on himself.

In the moment when you see the new brilliance again, you can't see any of the other person's thoughts during this period.

In the end, it turned into the most profound and apologetic bow from this man who was not young.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

"I am too weak."

As he spoke, the man's face was turned downwards, and he did not look directly at the other person.

Kitahara didn't know what expression to use to express his apology to the other person.

"Kitahara... Ah, it's alright, it's alright, don't be like this."

"After all, as Golden Victory has said, my talent is actually quite special and has little to do with racing itself. It is almost impossible for an ordinary trainer to bring it out."

"I should say I'm very grateful to Kitahara..."

thank you.

Thank you for accepting my past incompetence.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your efforts back then.

Without these, I might still be clinging to a sliver of hope.

He thought he simply lacked a trainer and a systematic training method.

Instead of letting go of their illusions, they clung to naive and romantic dreams, and then wasted their lives in the wrong way.

After giving up, she chose to help Oguri Hat, which led her to meet her current trainer, a pure white racehorse girl named Golden Victory.

If Kitahara hadn't accepted the new radiance back then, and had instead continued striving to gain the favor of her trainer through the selection trials...

Upon closer examination, such a new brilliance naturally has no possibility of being reborn from the ashes.

"Without Kitahara, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet Golden Victory-senpai and receive her guidance, would I?"

The tone was indifferent, and even the phrase "brand new and radiant" was more of an expression of gratitude to the other party.

However, misunderstandings can arise between people, let alone conveying their feelings.

At least Golden Victory noticed.

"Hey, if you're genuinely thanking them, you don't need to be so coy, okay?"

"It's like she's the kind of woman who's found a better boyfriend and is saying the opposite of what she means to her ex. It almost gave me goosebumps!"

"Besides, we're still good friends and comrades-in-arms, so there's no need to be so formal!"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

The slightly awkward atmosphere was instantly changed by the words of the pure white horse girl in front of them.

"Alright, alright, we're short on time in the players' room, so let me briefly summarize what you've learned today."

As he spoke, Golden Victory took out the list of participants and showed it to everyone.

Somewhat surprisingly, only six female racehorses participated in this race.

[Second most popular, Group 1, Number 1, Oguri Hat]

[First place popularity, Group 2, Number 2, Tamamo Cross]

[Fourth most popular, third group, number three, East Sea Shark]

[Fifth in popularity, fourth in group four, Kita Fujiya]

[Third place popularity, fifth group, number five, Fujimasa March]

[Sixth in popularity, sixth in group six, Tomino Shinryu]

Even though it's a local race, the Golden Youth Race is still considered an important race at Kasamatsu Racecourse.
