Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

----------

On the way to the luxurious family's residence, veteran reporter Kawashima was holding a paper document about the contestants, clearly reviewing its contents.

Standing to the side, assistant reporter Sato held a camera and a recorder, examining the ancient gate of the mansion in front of him.

"This Tokyo special operation looks like it's going to be quite interesting."

"I never imagined that the most exquisite creation of that magnificent clan and the Pegasus would be going up against these racehorse girls."

Kawashima muttered to himself as he looked at the documents.

Sato heard his master's sigh and turned around with a curious look, asking, "Why do you say that? This should only be a G3-level match, right?"

Kawashima turned his head and frowned as he looked at Sato in front of him.

Immediately, he rolled up the documents in his hand and threw them at his head:

"Sato-kun, the contestant we're going to interview next is no ordinary person. You'd better tone down your attitude so as not to offend him later."

"The second most popular contestant in this competition is Stardust Illusion, who has already been identified as the 'Second Generation Oguri Hat.' Rumor has it that her performance in training matches at Treson Academy is outstanding—"

Kawashima crossed his arms and explained to his good-for-nothing apprentice:

"And the contestant we're going to interview next, Miss Ruby, was even considered by some to be the strongest dream bloodline in Japan before she debuted last year."

“去年一年的比赛战绩中，目标为牝马三冠的红宝石小姐的比赛成绩为1、1、2、2、5、5。”

"Although she's not particularly outstanding, the fact that she's never made a comeback shows that she definitely has great potential."

"After that, she went abroad to recuperate due to her injuries, but now that she has returned, many people are convinced that the Dream Bloodline will definitely begin to revive in her."

"You must understand, that's a powerful combination of the [Magnificent Clan] and the [Pegasus Clan]. Just a thousand representatives with Pegasus bloodline are enough to rival the Emperor. So what can the First Ruby Clan possibly achieve?"

The big tree and the gate are the same width.jpg

Chapter 108 We have a sure-fire way to win!

Sato listened intently, marveling at the extraordinary background of this young lady.

Although he was just a newcomer to the magazine and didn't know much about the horse racing industry, he had heard of the famous glamorous clan.

Being able to accompany Master Kawashima to the interior of the Magnificent Family to interview this contestant made Sato excited.

At the entrance of the Magnificent Clan, the two announced their arrival and then waited for a while.

Sato looked at the gate in front of him. On either side of the porch were two pots of blooming chrysanthemums, emitting a faint fragrance.

A long string of straw ropes hung on the door, swaying gently in the breeze, as if welcoming the guests.

(As expected of a long-established family, even the main gate is decorated so beautifully, and the area is almost the size of a local horse racing academy...)

Just as Sato was silently sighing, the side door next to the main door was pushed open.

"Mr. Kawashima, reporter?"

A young woman in a kimono stepped out and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Welcome to the Magnificent Clan. The young lady is currently studying. Please follow me."

Following the woman into the courtyard, the stone path meandered and twisted, lined with pine and bamboo trees, creating a unique and tranquil atmosphere.

Is Miss Ruby undergoing running training?

The reporter, Kawashima, struck up a conversation with the woman leading the way.

"That's not the case."

The woman in the kimono walked ahead and replied, "The young lady has just finished her flower arranging course and is waiting for you two. She also has a tea ceremony and cultural class scheduled afterward, so we only have half an hour for the interview."

Flower arranging, tea ceremony, and cultural lessons?

Sato followed behind the two with his head down, a hint of surprise still flashing through his mind.

She's supposed to be a racehorse girl, but she has to do so many unrelated studies at the same time... Won't that affect her performance?

The woman in the kimono seemed to sense their confusion and took the initiative to continue explaining.

Her originally gentle voice gradually revealed a fervent passion:

"As a descendant of the glamorous family, Miss Ruby must be proper and skilled in everything, whether it's running or anything else."

"One must be proficient in both literary and martial arts to become an outstanding talent who can shoulder the future of the magnificent clan!"

"..."

Both reporters fell silent.

Sato felt that this was too unrealistic, since even the Donghai Emperor, who is now recognized as having the best talent in the country, is also focusing on diligent training.

If the number one Ruby is really as indecisive as she says, how could she possibly defeat the other contestants?

"But wouldn't this cause any adverse effects on each other..."

"Sato, what are you saying?!"

Sato blurted out the question in a moment of impulsiveness, but before he could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by reporter Kawashima.

Seeing Kawashima's murderous gaze, Sato knew he had said the wrong thing again, so he quickly shrank back and remained silent.

"I'm very sorry, my assistant isn't very bright, so he offended your family. Please forgive him!"

After scolding his good-for-nothing apprentice, reporter Kawashima quickly turned around and bowed his head to apologize to the woman leading the way.

"It's alright, it's only natural to have such doubts."

The woman in the kimono who stopped didn't seem angry. She stood in front of the door and smiled at the two of them.

"When we first hear this, everyone inevitably thinks that this is just wishful thinking, and we are certainly well aware of that."

Reporter Sato's directness was actually meant to remind everyone that we wouldn't necessarily blame anyone for this. But…

The woman in the kimono spoke, placing her right hand on the handle of the paper door in front of her:

"But since this arrangement is made, there must be a reason behind it. It's all for the young lady to dominate every field—"

Splash!

She pulled the paper door open.

"—Our Magnificent Clan will provide our full support; this is a condition that no other contestant possesses!"

A wave of bustling noise suddenly surged out of the room. Inside this traditional Japanese-style house, the two reporters stared in astonishment at the commotion inside.

The room's interior is decorated in a simple and modern style, which contrasts sharply with the style of the surrounding traditional Japanese buildings.

The tall floor-to-ceiling windows allow plenty of natural light into the room, creating a bright and open feel.

The walls are covered with LCD screens and various high-tech devices, which emit subtle electronic sounds that contrast sharply with the birdsong in the courtyard outside.

The lab bench was neatly arranged with precision instruments and computer equipment. Many staff members, dressed in white lab coats, were focused on operating the instruments and recording data.

"Tonight's menu for the young lady needs an additional 20g of protein and 2g of glutamate."

"The results of today's running training have been calculated and imported into the central database!"

These researchers, who were exchanging ideas intently, did not pause at all when they saw the three people at the door, but continued their work with great enthusiasm.

Kawashima, the reporter, stared in astonishment at everything before him.

His face was filled with disbelief, then he turned to look at the woman in the kimono and asked hesitantly:

"What are these...?"

"This is the greatest support for our glamorous family, through training methods that calculate the maximum effect using the most advanced sports science."

“The training methods used by Japanese athletes nowadays are too brutal. Many trainers advocate excessive training and so-called ‘tenacity’.”

"However, this is the wrong approach—only by calculating the training method that best fits the science of sports can we achieve twice the result with half the effort, freeing up more time for the young lady to study other courses."

"Last year, after the eldest daughter took a temporary leave of absence due to injury, the family introduced this method from the United States, which played a significant role in the eldest daughter's recovery."

The woman in the kimono led the two into the research lab and began to introduce the lab with a proud expression.

"These things just feel a bit..."

Sato looked around, unsure how to evaluate their actions.

"Don't worry. We will also work hard to analyze the young lady's upcoming opponents, importing all their current match data into the central database and performing calculations—"

A researcher standing in front of a computer introduced the mainframe computer in front of him to the reporter:

"Overall, that Stardust Illusion player, known as 'Oguri Hat 2.0,' is indeed a formidable opponent."

"However, her weakness is also fatal. As long as the young lady follows our instructions during the match..."

On the computer screen, video footage of a match appeared.

Assistant Sato quickly craned his neck to look at the computer screen.

The most eye-catching one was the first Ruby racer, who was running, and behind her was a strange racehorse girl with a figure exactly like Stardust Illusion.

"What...what is this for?"

Kawashima hesitated for a moment, then decided not to say anything more and instead asked questions in response to the other person's interest.

"We hired some racehorse girls with similar qualities to that Stardust Illusion to conduct simulations so that the young lady can familiarize herself with the race conditions."

The researcher explained smugly:

"It's quite obvious at a glance... that runner's lack of skill at the turn will inevitably create an opening."

The two runners in the video entered the bend one after the other, seemingly in sync with the researcher's commentary. The runner in the back suddenly changed direction and charged straight towards the outer lane.

However, the first ruby ​​running ahead suddenly slowed down, and the two became intertwined.

The runners behind were unable to break through the opponent's blockade in an instant and could only obediently slow down and follow behind Ruby.

"This is the winning strategy we've devised based on the available data. Stardust Illusion will absolutely not be able to escape the young lady's obstruction! So the moment we step onto the bend, the outcome of the race will be decided."

"Ah—keep these things a secret for us, and don't go into too much detail. The young lady is available to meet with you two soon, please follow me."

The woman in the kimono spoke to the two reporters with a confident smile on her face.
