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

"Tsk, I really should bring an ice pack. Drinking it at a temperature that's neither too cold nor too warm tastes really weird."

He uttered a complaint, but Golden Victory still obediently chose to accept reality.

It's her own fault for not being prepared...

"Oh right, there's one last thing I wanted to say. Actually, I didn't really want to, but given our relationship, it wouldn't be right not to say it..."

To this, Golden Victory said in a jokingly joyful tone, "Old man, I'm married now!"

"..."

Still, no one gave a response, but the pure white horse girl was actually quite happy about this situation.

At least in her opinion, if the other party really heard this, he would probably first prepare a big attack, puffing out his beard and glaring with a red face, and then start cursing at her, this brat.

Alright, time's up, so I'll stop here.

"Well, just kidding. To be precise, we've already established a family. Those guys from the prestigious Ma Niang family are asking us to join them under the family name."

"Hey, don't scold me for joining the prestigious Ma Niang family. After all, we're quite wealthy now, so it's not like we can support ourselves all by ourselves. Besides, if we really want to do something big, we'll need a lot of capital..."

"And to be honest, the only conflict we had was with you. I really care about you, but that should be resolved in time. But let's not talk about it now that things haven't come to a head."

She grinned, not intending to tell the other person, even though she herself wasn't sure whether the person below her was interested in this matter at all.

More... or perhaps not.

At least in Huang Jinsheng's view, her growth was the thing his old man cared about most, and everything else, even himself, had to take a backseat.

Even if it costs me my own life...

He shook his head, banishing some of the past he didn't want to recall, and then Golden Victory continued his low-key conversation with the other person:

"However... there's a saying that dragon slayers eventually become dragons, so I'm definitely not a bad dragon, I should become a good dragon."

"In short, believe me, we will stick to your dreams, our dreams, and the dreams of my little ones."

Having said that, there seems to be nothing more to say.

Looking up, I realized that the time had gone from two or three in the afternoon to an exaggerated level where it was almost dusk.

"Tsk... No wonder the weather seems to have become unusually cool; it turns out it's already evening."

I didn't say "time flies" directly. After all, as a racehorse girl who races against time and wins by milliseconds, saying such a thing just felt a little off.

Even though she secretly wished time would pass faster during the match, Golden Victory knew very well that she had to make the most of every second.

For myself

"Well then...we'll talk next time~"

I don't know when the next time will come.

However, she really had a great time chatting today.

Perhaps it was just a little bit short in the end. If a fallen leaf or a petal were added as a blessing, it would be even more perfect, right?

"What are you thinking about...?"

Before he could finish speaking, his phone rang, and Huang Jinsheng quickly answered the call.

"Oh, you've already set a time... Okay, I'll be there on time."

Looking at the tombstone she had already prepared, the pure white horse girl grinned at it before leaving:

"My next match is not over yet."

"Keep watching my performance."

Chapter 213 Uma Musume Association

The Horse Girls Association is one of the three major organizations in Japanese horse racing, and it also represents the face of Japanese horse racing.

Today, the Uma Musume Association is surrounded by heavy guards and various staff members, simply because the association is currently filled with important figures who need protection in various ways.

Today is an important meeting between important figures. It may not be recorded in history, but its impact on Japanese horse racing will be profound...

Uma Musume Association, during a meeting.

The meeting space is of average size, roughly accommodating about fifteen people, but seating is provided for up to ten people. Considering the size of the Uma Musume Association, this meeting room seems rather small.

However, the reason why this meeting room was chosen by the organizers as the meeting venue today is not only because the number of participants is not large, but also because the various preventive measures are watertight.

Whether it's preventing leaks and eavesdropping or protecting the safety of participants during the meeting, these things can be guaranteed at the highest level in this specially designed meeting room.

"Everyone, please work hard today and let's have a two-hour discussion as a schedule. After the break, the main topics that everyone really needs to focus on will come in last."

"So, firstly, regarding the matter of Gold Victory joining the prestigious Uma Musume under the name Gold, I think everyone has no objections, right?"

The woman speaking was none other than the president of the Horse Women Association, the head of the Chimei family, and Queen Chimei.

Looking at the few familiar faces around her, the lady from the Chiaki family revealed a somewhat calm smile.

"I think we shouldn't ask too many questions about things that have already started the process; everyone is very busy."

"If we really have any complaints... even if today's matter concerns famous horse girls or even all Japanese horse girls, there's no need for us to chat here."

She has a dark brown body, with a white tuft of hair at the front symbolizing home.

This man is the honorary director of the Horse Girls Association, the symbol of the family head, and the symbol of speed.

"Speed ​​symbolism, are you implying that our arrangement will spur a gold victory?"

"Now that you've chosen to form a family and become a member of our prestigious Ma Niang family, even if there were conflicts before, we all have room to negotiate now. There's no need to fuss over such a small matter, is there?"

The person who takes over the symbol of speed is Sakura Iroto, the vice president of the Uma Musume Association and head of the Sakura family.

As a prestigious family that started later than other families, the Sakura family not only actively trains their offspring to become horse girls, but also works very hard in the Horse Girl Association.

"Let me be fair, based on my understanding of Golden Victory, it's probably fine if she didn't expect that, but what if she actually noticed this..."

"Not to mention that she might make some impulsive choices on major issues, we don't expect our meeting this afternoon will be too pleasant."

"If you haven't prepared your blood pressure medication, I have extra of what I usually take."

The person who finally answered was Meguro Asama, the former head of the Meguro family, who recently chose to retire from his position in the association.

As the new head of the family, Megumi Titan, in the eyes of her predecessor, was not quite suited to this occasion, considering that these people, including Golden Victory, were all present.

Besides, he's still recovering from his injury. Even though Golden Victory seems like he's perfectly fine and can jump around as long as he's not playing, that was just the only exception in that decisive game where he risked his life or even his life.

"Now that she has become the head of the family, even in the early stages, it means she has taken on a great responsibility. She should change those bad tempers she shouldn't have had before."

"Besides, we're letting her off this time. In the past, when our various families really had something to discuss, didn't we always choose the Horse Girls Association to talk about it? Are we going to let Golden Victory win every time?"

The one who expressed dissatisfaction with Megumi Asama's earlier remarks was Sakura Shiroto, the head of the Sakura family. She had expressed her opposition to Megumi Asama's blatant cooperation with the Golden Victory.

"Humph......"

"Ms. Asama, was there anything particularly interesting about my answer just now?"

Sakura-iro also became somewhat dissatisfied with Megumi Asahi's attitude, since the four of them were in a nearly equal position in this setting.

In this situation, making such noises during a conversation between the two would be nothing short of a blatant provocation or a superior-to-subordinate act of disapproval to these women from prestigious families.

It's hard to say about others, but when it came to Meguro Asama, who had already retired, Sakura-iro still had the courage to question her.

Faced with Sakura-iro's question, which was tinged with dissatisfaction, Megumi Asama maintained her usual composure and responded:

"I'm so sorry..."

"It's just that hearing 'cherry blossom colored' as you suddenly made me feel a little amused and a little nostalgic."

"Aren't all of you here the founders of the prestigious Ma Niang family...?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd either nodded slightly or made no special response, tacitly agreeing with Megumi Asami.

They were more curious about what she was going to say.

"The original goal of the Mejiro family and the Symbol family was to make Japanese horse racing girls truly comparable to those of foreign horse racing girls, but they differed slightly in their direction."

"Chiaki also focused on the establishment of the Horse Girls Association. The current scale of Japanese horse racing is definitely thanks to Chiaki."

"Even though the Sakura family came a little later than the three of us, I think Sakura Shikito and her Sakura family members have demonstrated their abilities in all aspects, right?"

At this point, no one gave a clear response, and Megumi Asami immediately realized why silence was the prevailing reaction to this statement.

If we're talking about the family with the most conflict with Golden Victory at today's meeting, besides the Mejiro family, the Sakura family is at least second, and might even be more conflicted than the Mejiro family.

A nonchalant smile appeared beneath the veil, and she continued:

"As for the results of competing in top-level competitions, that is the duty of our prestigious family of horse girls, so I don't need to say more, right?"

"In the end, it's just that we're getting old, right?"

She paused, looked at everyone, and then her aura suddenly surged forth.

Even though she has resigned from all positions related to the Musume fandom, Meguro Asama, the founder of the Meguro family, remains an unshakeable figure.

"Since it's the era of young people, why not let young people create it? Hurry up, isn't your Rudolph planning to conquer foreign countries this year?"

"If you want to spout some grand principles or say something, just say it directly. There's no need to drag me into this, Asama?"

"Queen Qianming, shouldn't you step in and do something about this? As the organizer of the conference, you can use your power here, but this place is no longer needed."

The two had been silent from the beginning of their conversation. Speed ​​symbolized that he glanced at Mubai Qianjian with some dissatisfaction, reminded Queen Qianming, and then returned to his previous indifferent state.

"Ahem... Well, it was indeed an oversight of me not to consider the possible attitude of Golden Victory, but besides this place, the only other places with similar confidentiality are probably the respective family houses or clubs, right?"

"Do you think there's any real difference between these places and the Uma Musume Association for Golden Victory?"

At this point, no one offered an answer.

They all knew very well what the words "noble racehorse girl" meant to the former Golden Victory. After all, they also harbored a greater sense of hostility and fear towards the pure white racehorse girl with the title of "White Disaster" than ordinary outsiders.

Just then, Megumi Asama, who seemed to be the most talkative person at the meeting, took a sip of tea and continued speaking:

"I think Central Teresen Academy is a pretty good place."

However, Queen Qianming immediately and strongly opposed the other party's proposal.

"What? Do you want to bring Akikawa and Surugawa over for a chat? I don't think Treson Academy needs to know about the internal affairs of the prestigious horse girls."

"Anyway, I've already booked the location here. Golden Victory will be here later. As for what happens next, we'll talk about it later. Let's leave this topic at that for now."
