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

"Hmm... I feel like something has changed about Tamamo-chan, it's probably a change in her mindset, right?"

The people in the private room had some guesses about this.

Perhaps others could see that the Tamamo Cross seemed to have overcome some kind of stage fright.

But for the sharp-eyed emperor, what she saw was not just that.

"To be able to perform like this in the first time facing this situation, Tamamo Cross's resilience seems to be quite good."

After the evaluation, the president then gave an introduction.

"Resilience is an essential quality for a professional racehorse girl."

"Especially since the opponents are different each time, there is no guarantee that most of the audience will like you every time."

"If someone's performance is negatively impacted by the audience simply because of their popularity, then that's the limit of their career."

"So, emperors, you must remember this."

However, the Emperor of the East Sea seemed somewhat dismissive of his guild leader's advice.

"Huh? Really? Is it really that scary?"

"No wonder you don't care about these things."

"After all, you already had a considerable following before your debut battle, which means you had your own supporters."

"But this doesn't mean your popularity will always be with you."

"Your supporters may be one of the motivations for you to keep going, but you shouldn't treat them as everything you want to achieve in this competition."

"At the very least, you have to leave some space for yourself regarding why you're competing."

As for the resilience and even setbacks mentioned earlier...

Let the White Disaster handle it...

Unable to teach the other party how to learn from setbacks, Rudolph symbolizes that he can only entrust the future growth of this little pony girl to Golden Victory when facing the East Sea Emperor.

"Ah! Yes, President, I will definitely remember it!"

After all, it was Rudolf, a symbolic predecessor whom she respected, and it was something she specifically brought up.

However, after hearing these things, Golden Victory seemed to become interested, so she casually mentioned a few things:

"Well, to put it simply, stress resistance actually represents your maximum potential."

"Just like those foreign female racehorses that come from all over the world, besides having to face various disadvantages in terms of track and racing system, what the audience wants to see is Japanese female racehorses defeating foreign female racehorses in a big way."

"In other words, if you don't have a good mindset, it's not impossible for the audience to make you lose your composure on the spot when you're competing in a foreign country."

International events...

For most people, it is an almost unattainable peak.

Even as a symbol of Rudolf, she is currently making various preparations for war with the goal of international expeditions.

After Tamamo finished her cross, it was Oguri's turn.

Yes, I remember.

All you have to do is take off your coat and throw it out, right?

So, after stepping off the stage and seeing everyone, Little Chestnut Hat casually lifted up her jacket.

But before everyone could even begin to cheer for this before the match...

Unlike Tamamo Cross, she didn't throw her coat out.

Instead, he twisted his hand and then flung it violently onto the stage floor, causing his jacket to crash to the ground!

You could even hear the crackling sound of the coat hitting the ground.

Oguri's amazing performance instantly silenced the scene.

audience:"......"

Emperor of the East Sea: "???"

Golden Victory: "?"

Maru Zenki: "..."

Rudolf symbolizes this by making a face as if he can't bear to look at it.

Those who didn't know the situation might have thought that this female horse with the tuft of hair had suddenly gone crazy due to excessive excitement.

"I can only say... as expected of Oguri?"

The newly radiant figure smiled somewhat awkwardly, while the golden Victory, after looking completely bewildered, finally noticed the two pairs of eyes beside him that were filled with a hint of mockery and even questioning.

"Don't look at me, I didn't teach her to do that. Just do what's most comfortable for you on this stage where you can express yourself."

As he explained, Golden Victory raised an eyebrow, gesturing for everyone to look at the stage.

"You see, these viewers will naturally find the best way to cheer for their favorite Uma Musume."

There was an awkward moment.

But just a second later, the Kasamatsu audience always managed to find the best way to encourage this maverick goose-haired girl in front of them.

"Great!" "That's spirited!" "Very energetic!" "Go, Little Chestnut Hat!!!"

And so, in this slightly peculiar atmosphere, the little chestnut hat left the exhibition stage.

Next up was the Fujimasa March.

Even though the competition hadn't officially started yet, the gaze of this stout horse girl was strangely fierce.

But this look is quite to the liking of the people of Kasamatsu.

Unlike Oguri Hat's previous actions, and also unlike the direct throwing method used by other Uma Musume (horse racers), this is different.

Since this is a stage to showcase yourself, there's no need to imitate others!

She ripped open her red coat, and just as everyone thought she was about to cheer like the other female horse riders, she suddenly...

But all they saw was Fujimasa March leaving them behind, and then he slowly walked towards the front of the stage to face the audience.

The tall and graceful beauty with the feathered hair, however, concealed the fierce look in her eyes when facing the crowd.

Then, a charming, handsome smile that belonged to her appeared before everyone's eyes.

A barely audible hum, yet it exuded the charm of the horse girl!

At this point, the audience erupted in cheers.

What was initially thought to be a transitional display of procedural behavior turned out to be a pleasant surprise for the audience!

When Kim Seung-ri and his group, who were watching from the stage, saw this, their faces showed more of a slightly surprised or even admiring expression.

"I thought all the local horse racing girls were like Oguri Hat-senpai, but it turns out that Fujimasa March-senpai can also show her own kind of coolness!"

After seeing Fujimasa's performance, the Emperor of the East Sea was even more excited and encouraged than he had been when he saw Oguri Hat's behavior.

"Oh my, isn't she very qualified? Regardless of whether she has reached the standard of a top racehorse girl, at least in terms of stage performance, she is definitely not as good as those little brats from the center."

Di Bao, standing next to her, disagreed, but then she realized that the selection process didn't include a pre-competition demonstration, so she couldn't offer any concrete examples to refute it.

Unlike the petty-minded Emperor of the East Sea, Rudolph, standing nearby, showed a slightly surprised expression before turning to ask Golden Victory:

"White Disaster, is this part of your training?"

As someone who stands at the pinnacle of Japanese Uma Musume, the Emperor somewhat sensed the changes that had occurred in Fujimasa March during those few brief moments.

Unfortunately, she merely used her aura without being able to summarize it into a systematic understanding, so Rudolf could only ask the pure white horse girl beside him for advice.

"Who knows? Anyway, the little emperor next to me will find out when he wants to learn!"

She kept the outcome a secret, but it was clear from Golden Victory's eyes that she was very satisfied with Fujimasa March's current performance.

In the eyes of this pure white horse girl who skillfully controls her aura and uses her aura techniques with ease, she can clearly see the aura that the racehorse girl in front of her is building up.

In her opinion, although these are still a bit too naive, compared to other racehorse girls who have not yet discovered this and have begun to take advantage of it.

Fujimasa's progress was so visible that Golden Victory was truly very satisfied.

Just as Fujimasa was throwing his jacket behind him, facing the audience with a cool pose,

Suddenly, her ears twitched.

The next moment, Fujimasa felt as if a tiny, damp mist from the sky had hit his ears.

drop...

Tick-tock...

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...

It's raining...

Kasamatsu Racecourse, which hosts the Golden Youth Race, has encountered a rare problem.

Looking up, I saw that it had suddenly started raining heavily, and there were thick rain clouds that had accumulated in the sky sometime earlier, enough to block out the afternoon sun.

"Rainy? There were only a few dark clouds a moment ago, how come it's suddenly pouring rain now?"

Somewhat puzzled, but Golden Victory also made a judgment.

"Judging from the weather, it probably won't stop raining anytime soon. It looks like they're destined to race on the mud. What bad luck."

Those of them, seated in the audience, naturally didn't need to worry about being affected by the rain.

But this will obviously affect the course of the rest of the competition.

Given the current rainfall, the track will inevitably undergo changes in a short period of time that the participating racehorses will find difficult to adapt to.

Rudolph, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned about the current unexpected events.

"It's alright, this isn't the first time we racehorses have encountered the problem of racing in the rain."

"If we can't even overcome this little thing, how much determination can we have to achieve victory?"

"The president is right! But let's not talk about the other three local racehorses. These three will definitely run as fast as they can, so the chances of an accident are probably not small."

At this point, the Empress agreed with the statement that Golden Victory was the best possible outcome.

"Indeed... So for safety's sake, let's ask other medical professionals to come over first."
