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

"Alright, alright, you two don't have to be so confrontational over a single issue, do you?"

"Hey, let me make this clear first, I'm the victim here. I didn't say a word just now."

They skillfully and quickly positioned themselves as the active victim.

However, she was just playing around with the Golden Victory; she didn't really intend to pursue anything from these few lines, which could be considered an appetizer.

After all, what they have to discuss later is far more important than anything else right now.

Chapter Seventy-Nine Hot Springs

The hot spring was shrouded in mist, and several horse girls were having a private discussion in one of the large hot spring pools.

Using their own superior vision, they gazed at the magnificent and precipitous mountains in the distance.

These little pony girls, who in some ways still have a chance to grow, then began to discuss the topic.

"Tamamo-senpai, you're a senior, so you should see things more clearly than I do, right? Tell me, I just want to know how the hierarchy among seniors really is."

In order to compare the size of the heart, the Emperor of the East Sea not only witnessed it with his own eyes, but also tried to observe it himself.

Unfortunately, I lacked the eye for detail in this area. Apart from seeing some images that seemed visible but were too blurry, I could only watch as Tamamo Cross next to me kept making various low exclamations.

"Hmm, cough cough, if you want me to say it, sure."

At this moment, Tamamo Cross was wearing a bath towel, and she was unwilling to take it off even while soaking in the hot spring.

Because if he were to take it off at that moment, his seniority would be completely destroyed...

"This place is divided into three major factions: the student council, the Uma Musume Association, and Golden Victory-senpai."

"Yes, yes, yes, please continue, senior. The student council can give a detailed introduction later."

"Hey! Sure, let's start with the one with the broadest mind here. Although the mist, water, and reflections can affect us a bit, we're very experienced in this area."

"Ah! Senior is truly amazing!" The East Sea Emperor, who wanted to know but dared not launch a surprise attack, could only resort to playing the straight man.

"Ahem, of course! I'm a senior, after all!"

Well, I can't exactly say that I accumulated this experience through observation and by having my own trainer use it on me frequently...

That would be incredibly embarrassing to say.

"Yes, first of all, there's Golden Victory-senpai. He's the most magnanimous person here! It makes all the horse girls ashamed!"

"Huh? Then, what about the student council president?"

"Emperor-senpai, let's take a look... Hmm... He has quite a broad mind, and his whole demeanor is very imposing. As the third party between Golden Victory-senpai and Representative Chiaki, his composure in letting them clash is truly worthy of being the student council leader."

After all, it's not appropriate to say something like, "The Emperor's magnanimity is not as great as Golden Victory's," which shows a lack of emotional intelligence. So, it's necessary to say something nice to the Emperor.

Yes, through the Golden Victory, Tamamo Cross also learned that this Emperor of the East Sea will also be with them in the future, competing in the arena under the name of the White Disaster team in the center.

Although she wasn't quite sure how the other party had managed to seduce this genius racehorse girl, whom she knew very well hadn't been back to school often recently.

However, after the idea that it was Golden Victory who did this, it seems that such things were immediately made reasonable...

After praising her, I still need to talk about something else: "Well, the secretary next to the president, Maru Zen-senpai, she seems really capable too."

"Oh, that's normal. Maruzen-senpai used to be the student council president, but he didn't want to take on too much work and he wanted to train the president, so he chose to step down from the position."

At this point, even the Emperor of the East Sea could tell the difference in strength between the two, although the outcome could be easily determined from the scale of the competition.

"So the president is still working hard and has room for growth in the future. Senior Baizai was already almost a senior, but she is still competing for various reasons."

For various reasons.

Since their predecessors were not around, and they weren't sure if they could explain things clearly, they naturally chose to express themselves in a somewhat riddle-like manner.

Those who know, know; those who don't, just ask your seniors!

"Hey, let's continue. Lastly, we have Chiaki, the representative of the Uma Musume Association. Well, actually, this senior seems similar to the Emperor, but upon closer inspection, she's still a little bit inferior."

"Of course! The president is a Seven-Crown racehorse girl, while Representative Chiaki is at most a Three-Crown racehorse girl who won the classic Three-Crown. There must be a difference between the two!"

After saying all this, the Emperor of the East Sea, through the continuous explanations and detailed gestures of the Tamamo Cross, finally said the next sentence with a bit of embarrassment.

"Then... what about us?"

Sister! You've really narrowed your options!

Knowing full well that the other party might genuinely care about these things, the problem is that poor Tamamo-no-Mae, touching her own seemingly small heart, feels...

Don't worry, there's a saying: "How can one judge the world without first judging it?"

We're representing the aspirations of the entire world!

It means the goal is to compete in international competitions!

No rebuttal allowed!

No objections allowed!

Having achieved his own spiritual victory, Tamamo Cross chuckled and began to explain:

"Hey, us, hehehehe, that's because we still need to work hard to participate in the competition. Even some of our seniors who haven't retired yet have already participated in many competitions."

"This is the 'popularity' they've accumulated, representing the top female racehorses."

There's a saying in the East: 'How can one win people's hearts if one's mind is not broad enough?' And those 'people' refer to popularity!

"Look, even that silly little chestnut hat with its goat feathers isn't that big! That's the proof!"

"Hmm? Oh, oh, oh!"

The Emperor of the East Sea nodded repeatedly at the guidance given by his senior.

However, she always felt that something was amiss...

At this moment, located a short distance from the East Sea Emperor and Tamamo Cross, is the hot spring pool where Golden Victory and the others are soaking.

"Seriously... if you're spying over there, could you at least speak a little quieter?"

Because there were some topics that were not convenient for the younger generation to know, these seniors chose to hold their meetings at a specially separated hot spring.

Unlike other hot springs, the water temperature here is unbearably high, even scalding hot.

However, this temperature is fine for these top racehorse girls.

Well, those present are basically all at the top level in all aspects of their training, and their physical fitness is naturally equally impressive.

"Oh dear, but what they're saying is really embarrassing. I never expected Tamamo to have this kind of personality."

As she spoke, Maru Zenki glanced mischievously in the direction of the East Sea Emperor.

After all, they were senior figures, and at Golden Victory's suggestion, both sides displayed a certain degree of "sincerity" in this meeting.

So they naturally placed their bath towels on the edge of the pool, while most of their bodies enjoyed the stimulating sensation brought about by the alternation of hot and cold.

"I don't know about that. Maybe someone led her astray. As her trainer, I'll definitely correct her behavior."

He ignored all of that while talking about the golden victory.

The pure white horse girl, presented under the mist, resembled a full white lotus flower adorned with a touch of crimson.

She was as beautiful as a classically elegant woman from the West, worthy of praise, basking in the gaze of others with the purest form of beauty.

Of course, it wasn't just Golden Victory; almost every horse girl present was beautiful, showcasing their own unique charm.

Given these circumstances, attracting the attention and appreciation of younger generations is hardly an inevitability...

"Alright, let's ignore them and take this opportunity to say everything that needs to be said. This will make it easier for us to resolve the issues later."

"Yes, I feel the same way. But why did you choose to speak with Representative Qianming, Baizai?"

As he spoke, the emperor looked at Qianming's representative with a puzzled yet wary gaze.

Even though there seems to be no conflict between the two sides, regardless of their families, the Horse Girls Association, or the Central Tereson's stance, at most it's just a matter of personal grudges.

But once the White Disaster is involved, the answer is entirely different...

"It's because you can't fully represent us. I don't know many people from the Mejiro and Sakura families in this era. If I were to find someone to take charge, I would definitely be kicked out, so I'll just ask you guys first."

Finding only one won't work.

But what if you approach another family, especially one with whom you already have conflicts?

That way, it can at least represent something.

“I’m here, but I’m curious how you’re going to convince me. You should know how we treat you, White Disaster.”

When this was mentioned, Qianming, the representative, also raised her own questions.

Without mentioning his own grudge against Golden Victory, the prestigious families alone were already wary of and targeted Bai Zai.

"Well, in the end, you're all just afraid of me, aren't you? Now you're afraid of my systematic and relatively mature aura techniques, right?"

Besides techniques, the relevant information also refers to how to generate momentum.

It's like the technique used in the previous Fujimasa March, where you initially strengthen yourself by forcing others, and then subtly influence the opponent's momentum at a crucial moment.

It's like the Golden Victory guides Tamamo Cross, using a winning streak as a way to accumulate momentum, thereby gaining a powerful aura and developing related content after mastering it.

Next is the technique of projecting momentum.

The technique of projecting momentum refers to other application methods that are built upon momentum.

For example, Fujimasa's March ran desperately at the end of the race, a forced second sprint that even Golden Victory couldn't have anticipated.

The reason for this surprise is not because Golden Victory lacks the skills in this area, but because, in Golden Victory's view, this kind of advanced content should not be something that Fujimasa should be able to master at his current level.

Well, what can you do when the other person really has a talent for this?

Even if the price she pays is high-risk maneuvers, successfully executing them still demonstrates that she has a talent for it.

Upon hearing Golden Victory state these words so readily, even Representative Qianming and Rudolf nodded in agreement.

Sense of presence and technique.

For those of them who come from prestigious families or are top racehorse girls, they have all mastered similar power-generating techniques to some extent.

However, how to cultivate momentum or other details of further development are not things that can be easily solved by someone figuring them out.

Ultimately, even twins are not exactly the same in terms of physique and personality.
