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

As he spoke, Rudolf symbolically looked at the racehorses about to begin their pre-race presentation in the distance, while responding to Golden Victory's superficial admiration.

While the audience below the stage was certainly lively, those of them who had reserved seats and were in a slightly better position with a better view were also enjoying the show immensely.

"Ah, that's true."

"After all, no one from the Central Racehorse Girls program is planning to team up with me, so I guess I'll have to focus my attention on the Regional Racehorse Girls program."

The first half of the answer was a lighthearted, joking response.

The obviously uninvited guest, Chiaki, was not with them at the moment, which was somewhat of a pity for Golden Victory.

If you explain everything clearly, even if the other person doesn't immediately explode, they'll probably feel very uncomfortable.

"On the other hand, by leveraging the numerous demands made by Central Treisen Academy regarding this race, we were able to forcefully acquire a stake in Kasamatsu Racecourse from the perspective of Central Treisen Academy, and persuade the chairman of the board to agree to this decision."

"Having the means to make such a move, one can only say that she truly deserves the reputation of the legendary racehorse Rudolph, a woman of great courage and influence."

This wasn't some kind of flattery; it was a genuine expression of admiration for Rudolf's decisiveness in addressing the problem itself.

As for the chairman...

Well, in any case, Golden Victory mostly chooses to give up trying to figure out what this elder is thinking.

"This can be considered a pilot operation. In recent years, there have indeed been many voices within the Uma Musume Association expressing their intention to integrate local and central governments, but considering various factors, it is unlikely to be implemented immediately."

“Unlike the Central Racecourse, which mainly features major prize races and even G3 to G1, regional racecourses have too many problems that need to be addressed in depth, but simply eliminating them would affect many aspects of the problem.”

Including his previous interest in the Kasamatsu local tournaments, this emperor's interest in Kasamatsu was not solely due to his recognition of Oguri Hat, the genius of the goose-haired clown.

It would be more accurate to say that she happened to meet Oguri Hat, a genius with a goose-haired hat, when she was planning to use Kasamatsu as her starting point.

As for the various tasks that Golden Victory did during her time at Kasamatsu Tressen Academy, many of them were tasks entrusted to her by the Emperor.

Of course, she can assure you that this does not include the excavation of hot springs.

God knows how this guy managed to find and dig out a hot spring that the other party had never discovered before after just one trip to Kasamatsu Tresen Academy?

However, given the various peculiar phenomena caused by this eccentric racehorse girl, Rudolf symbolizes more the acceptance of the outcome and the abandonment of pondering the reasons and motives.

“That’s true, but aren’t you afraid people will say that you, as the student council president of Central Teresen Academy, are meddling too much? After all, you only stay in the central area, so it wouldn’t be appropriate for you to send someone else to be in charge of the investigation, given your current position.”

While watching with great interest how the other party would respond, Kim Seung-ri casually drank the carrot juice in his cup through a straw.

"I can only say that some things are indeed controversial for people like us."

"The complex business collaborations behind the breeding of racehorse girls make it essential for many businesses to create top-tier local racehorse girls as star brands."

"If anyone uses this kind of fan base as a bargaining chip, I will definitely shut it down and try to improve it once I find out about it, even if people say I'm meddling too much."

It can only be said that in the world of Uma Musume Pretty Derby, the strength of the fanbase can indeed influence all sorts of things related to the horses.

Just like how Golden Victory lost popularity due to being deliberately sidelined by the Uma Musume Association, she was unable to participate in G1 series matches even when she was not under suspension.

Each G1 match has a wider and more extensive impact.

"Hey, yeah, it really should be changed."

Upon hearing the rather righteous answer from Rudolf, Golden Victory wholeheartedly agreed.

"This kind of operation, which is within the acceptable range of errors by trainers and local racehorses, has become a consensus in local races in a sense."

Even the Central Tournament's Gold Victory, as a trainer, had to be subject to various regulations, which means there must be elements that need to be restricted.

However, some loopholes have emerged in the racetrack, which is currently lacking in oversight.

"Because they are bad at the game, because they lack ability, they take these as perfect reasons to manipulate the outcome of the game."

"Well, when you think about it carefully, this situation is indeed very unpleasant."

In the private box where everyone was on his side, Golden Victory spoke frankly and without any hesitation about the situation.

"However, since I have discovered these things, I will definitely report them to the end. Then I chose to report these results to you. As the president, you naturally chose to deal with the current situation."

“Even though it’s not something the Central Teresen Academy student council should be doing in some ways, it’s something that needs to be managed.”

"We've put money right on their heads; I don't believe these guys will dare to play like this again."

Golden Victory truly disdains cheating.

If you want to win, can't you just rely on your own abilities?

Do you really enjoy boosting your grades like this?

Listening to Pure White Horse Girl's sarcastic remarks about certain local races, Rudolph nodded in satisfaction.

At least the two of them think quite similarly in this regard.

"However, White Disaster, besides perfectly accomplishing the task I entrusted to you, I must say, you played this move very well."

"Huh? Which one?"

Miss Golden Victory said that she had played too many moves, and that her direct and careless criticism was not thorough enough and was somewhat off-target.

She thought that Golden Victory wanted to hear detailed praise from her, or more likely, she wanted to take this opportunity to improve the East Sea Emperor's existing bad impression of Golden Victory.

So Miss Rudolph decided to put it more clearly:

"It is because there is a certain degree of interest relationship with Kasamatsu Tresen Academy itself, although I really can't imagine how you managed to take that initial step."

"In short, as long as the cooperation can be established, even if your actions are likely to offend the relevant organizations of the Kasamatsu Ma Musume Contest."

"If Treson Academy, as the most directly related entity to Uma Musume, chooses to cooperate with you, it will, to some extent, become a guarantee of your safety while staying in Kasamatsu."

Oh!

Are you talking about the time we found the hot spring and then developed it together with Kasamatsu University?

The coincidences were too numerous, and even Golden Victory didn't think he was confident enough in such matters. However, Pure White Horse Girl did not choose to expose herself with such humility.

She simply gave a meaningful smile.

Golden Victory and Rudolph Symbol, both of them are concerned about the current situation of Saima Girls, in addition to the race. Their conversation just now was about Kasamatsu.

Unfortunately, what they said was of no use to the Emperor of the East Sea who was standing to the side.

She basically, no, you could even say she couldn't understand at all.

At most, he could only slightly whiten his image of Golden Victory and slightly brighten that dark idol halo.

After all, for this talented horse girl, simply running freely in races already takes up all her time...

The pre-race stage is a process in which racehorse girls showcase their charm to the audience before the race.

As the most popular racehorse girl in this competition, Tamamo Cross was met with faint boos from the crowd when she walked onto the stage.

The voices weren't loud, but it was clear that these people from Kasamatsu or other places were very dissatisfied with the fact that Central Horse Girl had come to participate in the local competition.

"Go back..." "Go back to the center..." "Shameless bastard..."

......

These sounds were not many and not loud compared to the general audience, but they still had a significant impact on the petite horse girl.

He stopped in his tracks, his ears filled with unfriendly hisses.

Tamamo Cross had several ideas about this.

She wished her hearing wasn't so developed.

She hopes to focus on those objective, even supportive, viewers.

But just as Tamamo Cross's mood began to decline and she started to have thoughts of escaping, her steps faltered and she even became unable to move.

Just then, his eyes caught sight of a pure white figure in a bright red sports jacket in the audience.

To her, it was an extremely conspicuous pure white horse girl.

Golden Victory Senior...

Are you facing a scene that is even more outrageous than what you are seeing now?

I remembered.

She thought of that infamous racehorse girl.

Golden Victory should have been a top-tier racehorse girl who received countless accolades.

But I don't know when.

It seems to have started around the time she was disqualified from the Chrysanthemum Award?

The cheers that once belonged to her have now disappeared.

Instead, the boos gradually increased, and eventually even stopped at times, as if the racehorse had never participated in a race at all.

Back then, even stepping onto the winner's stage, such a golden victory could not earn cheers and applause from the audience.

What she got was that the audience didn't know who the winner was, and after finding out who the center was through the internet, they just spat at the audience.

"How dare you!"

"What bad luck!"

"She definitely won't come to any of her upcoming matches!"

Besides being suspended and disqualified, she even stopped participating in G1 events after a certain period of her career...

To be precise, among the recommended female riders for the G1 tournament, Golden Victory has been eliminated...

Despite all this, she still chooses to enjoy the competition and to relish winning in every match and achieving the victory she recognizes.

As for whether anyone cheered for him, Golden Victory...

I've long since stopped caring.

Those predecessors were able to face such desperate predicaments with equanimity.

We've only encountered a few insignificant, trashy voices.

Hey!

Are you scared already? Are you scared already?

How could this be, you bastards!!!

Driven by self-destructive impulses, the petite, spiky horse finally took its first steps.

Then, she deftly tossed off her coat and effortlessly completed her runway walk amidst introductions from the audience...
