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

"After all, besides being the president of the Central Teresen Student Council, Rudolph also bears the responsibility of a prestigious family. If all the talents she values ​​are directly handed over to Little Gold, it would undoubtedly be impractical and might even affect her personally."

"So, if she deliberately arranged this competition when she anticipated that Tamamo might have already made contact with Kogane, it was to put some pressure on Kogane and speed up her actions, and it also laid the groundwork for arranging the Emperor's affairs."

"The only variable is the Uma Musume Association. Even if Chiaki is in charge of the association's special envoy, and even if Oguri's side really loses, the tragedy that Chiaki wants to see may not necessarily happen."

"The chairman can even use his power as a symbolic figure and his personal connections to interfere..."

Thinking of this, Maru Zenski, who considered herself a kind older sister, thought to herself.

She gasped in shock at her own reasoning.

Maru Zenji basically believed that as someone who indirectly controlled the student council of Central Teresen Academy, he was already quite adept at dealing with these intricacies.

She even once thought that without her, the current president, Rudolf, would definitely be hitting walls everywhere and failing to accomplish many things.

But now that I think about it carefully, the other party probably has a longer-term vision and is considering things that are completely different from my perspective as the student council of Treson Academy.

Maru Zenki: "?_?"

Although Maru Zenki did not believe that Rudolf, as the student council president, would not have concealed the fact that she was his secretary unless there was a special reason.

Just as Rudolf symbolically tells Maruzensky about his own part of the plan.

However, the feeling of being kept in the dark because the conditions didn't match was still a little frustrating for Maruzensky.

It seems that, to this senior figure, the mama girls at Central Teresen Academy are playing a bit too sophisticated a game these days...

"Maruzen?"

"Hmm?! Oh, I think this is a great idea."

Not wanting the other person to see through her thoughts, she put on her usual persona of a caring older sister.

So the group of racehorse girls from Central Tereson Academy, including the only newcomer, Tokai Teio, headed toward the stands at Kasamatsu Racecourse.

The start of this Golden Youth Tournament is just around the corner.

The timeframe can even be described as extremely urgent.

However, in the limited time remaining, it is a crucial moment for Kasamatsu and his group to make a decision after receiving the new information.

Chapter 72 Kasamatsu's Companions

Just after Golden Victory, Qianming, Rudolf, and their group left the players' preparation room.

Only three racehorse girls, including Shining Glow, and two human trainers remained present.

"Um... Miss Golden Victory, is your situation really difficult?"

The first person to speak was Shibasaki, the trainer of the Fujimasa March.

He had seen everything that had just happened.

Originally, I thought that the biggest competitors of Kasamatsu and his group should be the horse girls from Central Teresen Academy and the student council of Central Teresen Academy.

After all, Golden Victory never mentioned her condition, and she focused on her duties during the training period.

At most, they would assume that this pure white racehorse girl, while serving as a trainer during her suspension, had taken a liking to Fujimasa March and Oguri Hat.

But now it seems things aren't so simple...

The one who just appeared was Chiaki, the representative of the Triple Crown racehorse, whom even he, the local trainer, was very familiar with.

After she revealed her grudge against White Disaster, it was clear from Golden Victory's subsequent words that...

This is no longer just a simple personal grudge.

At least from Qianming's perspective, there is this person, as a representative of the Horse Girls Association, who is obstructing their assessment results in this competition.

"Little Radiance, is that so?"

The person who asked this question was Kitahara.

After all, given their current relationship, Shining Radiance is still considered to be one of his own racehorse girls.

Even though this female horse didn't make it through her debut race, she wasn't considered a fellow female horse racer by most people.

Of course, Kasamatsu and his group did not discriminate against her in the slightest because of this, especially now that the misunderstanding between them has been cleared up.

“Hmm…” Chestnut-haired horse girl nodded solemnly.

"To be honest, if we stand on the same side as Golden Victory, then the real enemy is not the racehorse girls of Central Teresen Academy, but the Horse Girls Association."

At this point, Shining Glory revealed to everyone what she knew about the past of Golden Victory.

After all, she was the only one present who had ever truly tried to understand the past of that pure white horse girl, and who had learned from the student council that day that Golden Victory was being targeted.

"Horse...Horse Girls Association?!"

"Are they really trying to blacklist a female horse racer like this?"

Alright, Kitahara now finally understands why Rokuhei Ginjiro had that attitude back then.

This includes telling yourself that it makes no sense to know these things before becoming a central trainer.

This also includes the controversy that arose when he called Kim Seung-ri at his request to invite him to become the Oguri Hats' training consultant.

The answers to these questions have now been found.

An obvious, yet utterly absurd, answer.

"The Central Racecourse Girls are already formidable opponents, but now, they're treating their very livelihood as an enemy..."

"We can't be so certain," Fujimasa March, standing nearby, offered a different response.

"I remember that the Uma Musume Association is actually divided into central and local branches. Although local Uma Musume Associations are mostly controlled by the central Uma Musume Association in terms of introductions, they should not be completely restricted in actual affairs."

Even Fujimasa March himself didn't have that kind of confidence.

After all, all she knew was the knowledge that Kasamatsu Tresen Academy had given her, as well as some extracurricular readings and other sources of information. Most of these things only mentioned the surface content, and she didn't really know how they actually worked.

But at least from an outsider's perspective, this should still be seen as an opportunity.

"Well... at least Central Teresen Academy doesn't have any ill intentions towards Golden Victory-senpai, so we should be able to trust that student council president, Ms. Rudolph."

The topic then shifted to Rudolf's symbolism.

Although she was initially perceived as the main target of making things difficult for them, in retrospect, it seems that her intentions were not necessarily hostile to Golden Victory.

"So, in this case, we still need to consider how to help Miss Victory in this match, right?"

"After all... she has helped us a lot."

Looking at the contents of the document in my hand.

Pure White Horse Girl couldn't discuss race tactics with them due to other factors, and she didn't even write any personal opinions on this document.

If Golden Victory had anticipated this development, it means she trusted these local people from Kasamatsu more than anyone else...

However, the thought that their current opponent has changed to the Uma Musume Association comes to mind.

Everyone felt that the burden on their shoulders had become exceptionally heavy.

"Well... as far as I know, Senior Golden Victory has been facing those people almost all by herself until now."

"I... I don't know what everyone else is thinking, but I... I want to help Golden Victory!"

A radiant new light revealed her plans.

Even now, the help she can provide isn't enough to have a significant impact.

"My current abilities are not enough, and as a racehorse girl, I am even less able to help Golden Victory-senpai."

"But without Golden Victory-senpai, I wouldn't be who I am today. I will definitely help him to the very end!"

The gratitude and responsibility, and even the current act of taking sides by being nurtured by Golden Victory and heading to the center.

Whatever the reason, the new brilliance has stated that it will do its best to help the gold team win.

"Of course!"

"After all, we have all received help from Miss Golden Victory."

"If she needs us now, we should do our part to help her."

However, Shibasaki stopped there and did not continue.

After all, as a local trainer, he wanted to help Golden Victory, who was currently caught in the central vortex of the racehorse girl part-time trainer.

It seems... to be very difficult.

Even Kitahara and Fujimasa, when they heard these things, remained unusually silent.

In this respect, they are not as good as the new brilliance, who can go directly to the central government to help the gold medal win.

Perhaps it was because they couldn't give it up, but more so because they had a direct understanding of their own weakness.

In short, they are now facing even more difficult problems and are indeed somewhat confused.

Until the voice beside him cleared away the huge fog that had been created by the change of opponents.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but since this competition is decided by running."

"As long as we win the race, isn't that enough?"

"As for what happens after that, we'll think about that when the time comes."

With an extremely serious expression, Oguri Hat's gaze swept over everyone. Seemingly influenced by the horse racer's eyes, everyone's spirits were indirectly lifted.

But in the very next sentence, these ideas seem to have gone astray.

"Otherwise, listening to you guys talk about all this brain-draining stuff makes me hungry..."

Hearing Oguri Hat's answer, everyone couldn't help but smile.

The previously gloomy low pressure dissipated instantly.

The previous answers went straight to the point, but in the end, this gluttonous horse girl still revealed her real problem.

"I can only say, as expected of Oguri..." Unable to suppress a laugh, and even wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes, Shining Radiance added:

"That's right. We should focus on finishing the current match first. We can deal with the problems later."

The atmosphere seemed to have relaxed a bit, and Kitahara, standing next to him, asked in a somewhat joking tone:
