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

They're all the same!!!

Why are all those stray horse girls so stubborn?!

Just as some angry new radiance was about to pass by with an umbrella.

However, Kasamatsu's trainers, Shibasaki and Kitahara, appeared just in time, wearing raincoats and carrying rain gear, towels, and even spare jackets.

Kitahara and Shibasaki, as trainers, did not stay in the box like Golden Victory and the others, but instead chose the area near the railings that was closer to the track.

Without saying much, the three of them approached the locations of Oguri Hat and Fujimasa March respectively.

"Um, I'm sorry."

"If you don't mind, I also have umbrellas and towels here!"

Seeing the other person standing alone in the rain, Shining Radiance did not choose to go looking for Oguri Hat or Fujimasa March.

Instead, he came to the side of Tamamo Cross.

"what."

"Um, thank you, thank you, our designated enemy."

Upon hearing the sound, Tamamo Cross opted to glance slightly at the approaching figure through her limited field of vision.

Then, she grinned in a very strange way.

Knowing that it was the same new radiance she had seen before, her tone became more amiable.

Even with a sense of helplessness, he managed to force out a joke.

As for why I used a squinting look, the main reason is that I need to pay attention to my grades at all times, so I can't look directly at the other person when I use the Tamamo Cross.

The little girl with the goat hair didn't pay much attention to the details, but this attitude directly frightened the little girl with the chestnut hair.

"Whoa?!"

"Um... if I've disturbed you, no, I'm sorry!"

"Oh, did I scare you? It's okay, it's okay. I'm just staying here like the other tufts of feathers, just wanting to see how I end up."

Despite her exhaustion, Tamamo-no-Mae's spirits lifted upon hearing this reply.

To be fair, these people from Kasamatsu are really thoughtful.

Seeing a brand new, radiant person, who's about the same height as me, come over to help me by handing me an umbrella, that's what made me especially happy, haha.

If it were two other human men who came, where would we put our pride?

Just as Tamamo Cross was waiting intently for the results, her mind was already making other plans.

Suddenly, a pair of fair hands appeared from behind without warning, picking up a dry towel and wiping it off Tamamo Cross's body!

Tamamo Cross: "?!!"

While she was attentive and gentle, a hint of reproach could be detected in her actions.

Whether she was putting on a brave face in this match or not, Tamamo Cross's trainer could easily tell.

"Waaaaah! No!!! My eyes! My eyes! Just wipe them clean, I didn't cry!!! We still need to check our grades!!!"

Some were overly excited and even kept fidgeting.

This made the brand-new Radiance next to it a little embarrassed, and it quickly moved aside.

Fortunately, her umbrella was large enough and she was wearing a raincoat, so she didn't have to worry that the rain would diminish the kindness of the lady next to her.

Yes, the person next to him is Tamamo Cross's trainer.

"Thank you. This child has a bit of a stubborn temper. I'm really sorry if he scared you just now."

"What do you mean, 'kids'? We debuted even earlier than them! We're the seniors!"

While issuing the protest, Tamamo Cross immediately stopped speaking.

The horse girl with the reeds fell silent.

My body gradually became weak.

The light that diffused in the rain allowed Tamamo Cross to vaguely sense it.

Everything I once possessed is gradually slipping away.

The reason for all this is simply because the outcome has already been written...

Just as she was staring blankly at the result before her eyes.

Outside the stadium, the commentator's voice was broadcast so that everyone could hear it easily and clearly.

"Um! Sorry to keep you all waiting!!!"

"We will now announce the top three winners of this Golden Youth Tournament!"

The third place is—

......

An authoritative result derived from multiple sources, including the perspectives of several top female horse racers.

If we only consider the racehorse girl aspect, this judgment result may have reached the level expected of international competitions.

Two of the three Triple Crown winners, one of whom even won seven.

As for the other two, even though Maru Zenki has the worst record, he is still known as undefeated, while Golden Victory has the second-highest number of G1 wins, only behind Rudolf Symbol.

This situation meant that the judges at Kasamatsu Racecourse were primarily responsible for ensuring the relative neutrality of the results.

In addition, the appraiser chose to lie down decisively and leave everything to the professionals.

Looking at the numerous horse girls, Emperor Rudolf asked again in symbolism:

"Hmm... I hope everyone agrees with this outcome?"

"No, after all, this is the best we can do. Even if there is the slightest controversy, we still make a decision by voting, don't we? Unless Xiaoqianming has any objections to the fairness of this matter."

"I don't believe you'll just throw your pride to the ground and ignore it... Even if there really is such a guy, it's just Bai Zai at most, he won't affect the overall situation."

"Hey, hey, hey, show some respect to your seniors, okay? I've already taught you a lesson, and you're still not behaving like this. Believe me, this time I'll make sure you can't get out of bed again!"

As she spoke, the pure white horse girl grinned mischievously and widened her eyes, and for a moment, Representative Chiaki actually reacted slightly.

"Alright, that's enough said. I have no objections anyway. You student councils are even arguing that you're in the right."

"Aren't you also a member of our student council, Little Gold?" Maru Zenski said with a smile, and then this thoughtful older sister revealed the details: "An unofficial member of the student council."

"After all, if we were to officially include you, Little Gold, in the student council, not to mention the students, even the chairman who usually doesn't handle student council affairs would probably have objections."

"Oh dear... I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. I'll have to have a good talk with the chairman when I get back to the central government."

"Let's not talk about this now, let's do the final confirmation."

Interrupting the conversation, the president once again focused everyone's attention on the outcome of the match.

"Well, there should be no controversy about first place. After all, whether it's the angle of crossing the finish line or the prediction of the distance, she won by a very small margin."

"Especially in terms of sprint timing and physical response, she has been trained to have the demeanor of a star racehorse, so winning this race is not surprising."

Some things should be said and then stopped.

For example, the quality of the venue.

Even the emperor knew very well that such heavy rain and muddy ground would actually balance the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, but this was not the case for any horse racing girl with a traditional, central mindset.

She still believes that winning on the familiar and advantageous sandy track is more of a side effect of demonstrating that her own qualities are comparable to those of top-tier Central Racehorse Girls.

The idea of ​​ranking the subsequent places was probably one of the reasons that came up...

As he spoke, Rudolf symbolically added, "Congratulations."

"Well, it's just basic operation, but let's not congratulate you yet on the final review of the second and third judgments."

"Besides, this guy next to me is probably the most unwilling to give up, right? Who knows, he might change his mind and start objecting later?"

As she spoke, Golden Victory gave a somewhat sly smile to Chiaki, the special envoy of the Horse Girls Association.

"Do you think I'd fall for your low-level provocation, White Disaster?"

Her eyes still held a hint of hostility towards Golden Victory, but she quickly looked away from this annoying guy and answered with her eyes closed somewhat guiltily:

"As I've said before, I will only look for problems if there is an opportunity to create controversy, and then proceed in the way I desire."

"But now that the result of this match is beyond dispute, how can I use this as a reason to retaliate?"

"Hey, as expected of Qianming's candidate for the family's leader, you've got guts! You dare to speak your mind, act on your convictions, and even make changes!"

Golden Victory clapped his hands in praise of his opponent, but noticed that the brown-haired horse girl's face showed slight blue veins.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. Is the decision settled then, Chairman?" The kind-hearted peacemaker, Maru Zenski, once again intervened to stop the two from escalating their anger.

Faced with two people who would definitely continue arguing once they started talking, her actions to stop them involved shifting the focus of the conversation to the controversy itself.

"Yes, there is indeed controversy about the second and third points, but firstly, the weather conditions were too bad, which obstructed the view, and secondly, the Kasamatsu fixed equipment was old and caused a mistake, which can be easily seen from the dynamic camera capture situation."

As he spoke, the president, seated in his seat, not only spoke in a serious tone but also appeared somewhat angry.

"Therefore, this will not be the first time."

His eyes widened slightly.

The imposing gaze emanating from his purple pupils instilled a sense of pressure in the viewer.

"As the investor, Central Tereson Academy absolutely will not allow anyone to exploit such loopholes to commit fraud. We hope you can understand the importance of a fair result for the horse girl race."

"Okay... okay, Your Majesty, we understand. This will definitely not happen again."

Despite being reprimanded in front of everyone, the manager of Kasamatsu Racecourse showed no anger and dared not even show any dissatisfaction on his face.

If this angers the important figure in front of them, and Rudolf symbolically reveals their past match records or even makes them public, then...

Let alone resorting to easy ways of making amends, such as being forced to resign or bowing and apologizing.

He'll probably be demanded to commit seppuku by angry fans, or even forced to maintain some semblance of dignity by some people blinded by anger...

"No, what I'm asking for is to raise the basics to eliminate as many uncertainties as possible, but if disputes arise, they still need to be interpreted in accordance with the charter."

"Yes...yes! I will immediately draft the latest procurement plan for high-speed camera equipment!!!"

As he spoke, the person in charge hurriedly left the scene, seemingly to show his enthusiasm for correcting the mistake, but more likely because he didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.
