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

The top three finishers waited for almost ten minutes in the rain and mud after giving it their all, only returning to their respective rest areas after confirming their scores.

As senior members, they were generally aware of the current state of these female horse riders, so they naturally wouldn't choose to disturb them at this moment.

Victory requires calming down the excitement, and defeat requires time to adjust one's mood, either by oneself or by relying on those around them.

However, as time went by, this group of people still had to keep pushing things forward; it wasn't like they could just go home and rest after the competition was over.

After all, according to the normal competition procedure, there should be a fan appreciation event on the winner's stage after the race.

"Hmm...it's about time I went to inform them. But speaking of which, how are we going to settle this match?"

After a busy day in the rain, while leisurely sipping hot tea, Maruzen noticed that the other two hadn't spoken, so she took the initiative to bring up the issue herself.

This isn't about the match result, since that has already been determined.

The topic they are discussing now is news about the winners' stage.

"Well, my suggestion is to have all three of them play together, just like the format used in the central competition."

As someone who "can't lose no matter what," Golden Victory has indeed thought things through carefully during this period.

Performing solo would certainly enhance the glory that Kasamatsu's side gained as the victors, but it's definitely not going to work.

I know that among the people watching the race today, there are quite a few who want to come and witness Central Race Maid, and there are definitely reporters and even commentators.

Therefore, if the performance ends with only a shot of Oguri Hat appearing, it would undoubtedly be a low-EQ move.

With so few people, the performance was limited in effect. Furthermore, it felt like they were bringing over the Central Race Horse Girl Tamamo Cross and then slaughtering them all.

Regardless of whether local authorities are satisfied with this move, if this news gets to the central government, it will definitely cause a big problem.

Ultimately, she still believed that the best approach was to have the top three finishers perform a fan appreciation event on the winners' stage, similar to the central series of competitions.

Yes, it was both in accordance with the rules and showed high emotional intelligence, and most importantly, the performance was very effective.

Three pretty pony girls with almost identical hair color performed a fan appreciation show on stage, dressed in their costumes. It was a delightful sight, wasn't it?

"I don't think anyone will have any objections, right? I think my idea is pretty good."

As for the people discussing the matter, apart from the student council president and secretary of Central Teresen Academy, only Golden Victory could be considered as having a different opinion.

Therefore, if she is the one to make this suggestion first, then the only possible variable will come from the student council.

As for the organizers, their own problems were exposed during the match due to weather conditions, so they basically have no right to offer any other opinions now.

Furthermore, setting aside geographical factors, they certainly aren't as familiar with the mechanisms of the Uma Musume contest as the people from Central Tereson Academy.

After briefly considering the proposal for a golden victory, Rudolf Symbol did not offer any objections.

"The term 'white disaster' is basically exactly the same as my thinking."

“It’s a really good idea to hold a three-person winner’s stage at Kasamatsu Racecourse for the first time.”

"It can not only demonstrate Kasamatsu Racecourse's emphasis on this race, but also set a precedent to send a soft signal to local horse racing that is not too extreme. Even if there are dissenting voices later, there probably won't be too many."

Hearing the president's well-organized analysis, Golden Victory's team was happy to add a few words:

"Well, anyway, they didn't dare to do this before not only because of cost considerations, but also because they didn't have many fans and supporters, so there was no need to do it."

"Now that Kasamatsu Racecourse has better business because of this, other companies will probably also consider following the charter initiated by the Central, no, the Central Teresen Academy."

As she spoke, the pure white horse girl gave a bright smile and looked at the agent who had been temporarily chosen to receive everyone because the racetrack manager had gone to negotiate procurement matters.

"Ah, that's for sure. We will definitely follow the excellent suggestions put forward by Central Treson Academy. At that time, Kasamatsu Racecourse will become the premier racecourse in the region!"

Anyway, since the other party has invested a certain amount of money, there's no need to worry about it.

These central officials can't expect the horse to run a race without feeding it, can they?

As for the existing interest structure... well, we'll deal with that later.

They were unaware of what the other person was thinking at that moment, and simply assumed that the other person had already acquiesced.

"So let's go and inform them first. The follow-up arrangements will be delayed by about half an hour to an hour due to the heavy rain. That should be enough time for them to rehearse the dance."

As local mascots who have won the championship more than once, Oguri Hat and Fujimasa March have a certain foundation in learning stage dance. At most, they just need to get used to the operation of the three backup dancers.

As for Tamamo Cross, needless to say, dancing is a required subject for Central Race Horse Girls.

"Hmm... I'll take care of arranging the positions for the three of them in the choreography. Little Tamamo definitely doesn't have any experience in this area, and the president is probably busy with other things."

Maruzensky responded quite naturally.

"Hey, Maruzen-neechan, just pick the kind of songs that the judges often perform..."

What if this senior Ma Niang suddenly gets the urge to bring over her old songs... Hmm, maybe that's not such a bad idea?

"I agree, Maruzen. Don't choose songs that might cause trouble for your juniors."

As for Rudolf's appeal, it's unclear whether he was referring to academic difficulties or the problems that fans would have with the performers afterward.

The president didn't make this point clear.

"Hey~ those words are really hurtful. Well, it's okay if you don't appreciate it, but it would be a bit bad if the atmosphere couldn't be heated up."

So the understanding and considerate secretary left the meeting room first, and the racetrack's representative also hurried to handle matters related to the winner's stage.

As for the East Sea Emperor, who was just a follower, he was directly sent by the young lady to assist with the dance after everyone finished discussing the relevant content.

The emperor, who was initially dissatisfied with being stood up by everyone during the previous reading, readily went to help the others prepare after hearing the president's request.

Finally, only Golden Victory and Rudolf Symbol remained in the small meeting room for the time being.

Perhaps because they couldn't find a topic to talk about and didn't have anything else to do at the moment, it was best to stay put in case something unexpected happened.

This made the atmosphere between the two sides slightly awkward.

"Bai Zai, what did you mean by what you said to Representative Qianming before you left?"

"What you're talking about? Oh, it's just an invitation for Chiaki to go to Kasamatsu Tresen Academy for a visit, to give myself a break and relax."

"You're so magnanimous?"

The implication behind this statement is that the Empress suspected that the pure white horse girl in front of her was up to some wicked scheme.

After all, the things this wicked woman had done left a very deep impression on this president...

"Hey, what are you saying? You're making me sound like I'm petty."

"I just wanted to find an opportunity to make up with Xiao Qianming, even though it's mostly her holding a grudge against me."

As for what to do after making up, that's not convenient to say for now.

That stubborn and easily impulsive personality is much better than someone like you who can't shake off your traditional ideas about prestigious families no matter what you do.

With her shoulders shrugged, and before she could voice her true feelings, the pure white horse girl had the appearance of a kind older sister.

With such a perplexing expression, even if you seem a bit odd, the other person won't be able to guess what might happen.

Well, to be fair, the way Maruzen looks does have a very deceptive effect.

However, just as Golden Victory was about to continue talking to the other party, Rudolf's symbolic cell phone rang.

"Hello, it's me, what's wrong?" After taking the phone, the Empress's expression quickly turned serious.

There was only one sentence, but the other party clearly didn't intend for Golden Victory to hear it. Given the hushed tone and deliberate avoidance, Pure White Horse Girl could only turn her head away with a disdainful expression, refusing to eavesdrop...

"Okay, I understand. I'll handle that over there. You guys just focus on your assigned tasks."

After the one-way call ended, Rudolf immediately glanced at Golden Victory and said, "Something came up, I'll go take care of it."

"Is it the student council or this side?"

"...I can handle this myself."

HO～

Why didn't you let me know that I'd run into some troublesome situation that required contacting the president?

The two related sets further fueled Golden Victory's curiosity about the hidden content.

"Alright, alright, I'll go over there once the winner's stage is ready. Let me slack off here for a bit first."

Well, according to the concept of division of labor, Huang Jinsheng thought that since he had put in so much effort with his brain, he should be able to relax and slack off for the rest of the time.

As he spoke, he lazily waved his hand, and the other party chose not to continue paying attention to Golden Victory and left the conference room.

The door closed quickly, and the footsteps faded away.

Soon, when no one was around, the pure white horse girl simply laid out several chairs side by side as a bed and added a few cushions on top of them.

Then she simply lay down and began her little adventure while taking a break from her busy schedule...

But not long after she made this embarrassing move...

Well, to be precise, she lost track of time after she was in a daze.

suddenly!

The pure white horse's ears reacted reflexively to the unfamiliar sound waves!

His body seemed to have practiced countless times, and he became very serious. In a very short time, he separated the chairs and arranged them neatly.

This change transformed the room, which was originally more formal, into a more casual space.

Putting everything else aside, it really does look like the other person put a lot of effort into organizing this during this period, and it's almost hard to call them a slacker.

Although it's still somewhat unclear, it's at least much better than being caught sleeping in!

However, Rudolph Symbol did not seem to intend to concern herself with these matters, and her expression suggested that she was indifferent to the changes in the current space.

She glanced at the golden victory and then answered:

"Um... I'm sorry."

"White Disaster, Tamamo Cross said she wants to meet with you. Go and help resolve the issue, otherwise it will be inconvenient for everyone if the winner's stage is stuck here."

His tone was slightly sarcastic, even carrying a hint of anger, as if he had caught his wife cheating on him.

Without going into detail about the relationship between the two, Rudolf's entire performance seemed to directly reveal the truth hidden behind the Golden Victory and the Tamamo Cross.

I already know about the relationship between the two of you!

However, at this moment, the pure white horse girl didn't seem to be in the mood to understand the hidden meaning behind the other party's actions.

"Oh? Okay then, I'll go check on Tamamo-no-Mae right away."

As she spoke, the pure white horse girl got up and bypassed the Rudolf symbol that had just entered the meeting room from outside.
