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

But then he thought that it might be impolite to say such a thing in this situation, so he eventually changed his words to a more polite one.

"It seems that what Cherry Blossom Color said is not wrong."

She gave a reply that the pure white horse girl couldn't understand, but her smile remained unchanged as she responded:

"After all, the Mejiro family has made a lot of contributions to opposing the momentum technique. In the end, we even lost three of the Mejiro family's top or even better active and retired racehorse girls in that game. So, this right to speak should fall to me."

"Of course, the main reason is that others can't bring themselves to do it, but this old woman of mine no longer holds any position and is completely retired,"

Even though she has retired, this woman's aura is still undeniably imposing; she remains the head of the Meguro family.

Upon hearing this, Golden Victory let out a sigh of relief for some reason.

Perhaps it was the sense of unease emanating from Megumi Asama, or perhaps it was the genuine feedback she received from the horse-woman she usually called Megumi the Old Lady, that she had truly recovered.

"Phew...see, now that we've talked things out, everyone's happy, aren't they?"

He was saying things that others might not understand, but Golden Victory didn't care whether they understood or not, and simply continued the conversation.

"Let's continue our conversation. It's about the Golden Family that I founded, right?"

"Yes, the first thing we need to do today is to find out your true opinion on this proposal, and to confirm whether you understood the true meaning of joining Meiko Mami when you agreed to this request."

Upon hearing this, Golden Victory simply curled his lip and made a casual response:

"Well, I know all that. It just means that once you join, you have to fight for the future of Japanese Uma Musume. It's pretty much the same thing we do all the time."

"There are still differences." As she spoke, Queen Qianming extended one hand, revealing five hands as white as jade.

Wow, you can tell at a glance that you've been retired for a long time. There's not even a trace of muscle definition or calluses. I bet most people wouldn't believe you're a racehorse girl.

Unaware that her action was being mentally criticized by the pure white horse girl in front of her, the president of the Horse Girl Association continued her explanation: "A hand has five fingers, which seem different but are in a state of mutual dependence. The situation of prestigious horse girls and even Japanese racehorse girls is similar to this model."

"The idea that 'famous horse girls are fighting for the future of Japanese horse racing' has a wide scope for development, and everyone can have different opinions and actions. It is a collective behavior."

"Perhaps it's the establishment of the Horse Girls Association, the refinement of competition details, and the establishment and related cooperation of racetracks."

"Or perhaps it's about connecting with trainer organizations and Treson Academy to fully establish the stamina of Japanese horse girls."

At this point, I paused briefly and took another look at Golden Victory.

"The collective consensus also includes our prestigious Equestrian Girls, who believe that the existence of momentum techniques poses a devastating threat to Japanese Equestrian Girls racing."

Queen Qianming felt no emotion whatsoever when she said those words.

Since everyone is here now, it means that Golden Victory has accepted the sincerity and apology from the prestigious Ma Niang, and saying anything more would be meaningless.

"Of course, apart from that, we all perform our duties, but our movements are monitored to a certain extent."

"Then there's a competition agreement between the prestigious horse girls, where they exchange their total performance over a period of time for the shared resources of the prestigious horse girls."

"That means you could very well take over my current position in the next cycle."

The triple crown in the fall of the second half of the year, and the brilliance shown by its new female horse trainers.

As a newly established prestigious horse racing family, the Golden Family is seen by many as having the potential to represent the entire Japanese horse racing scene.

"Selfish yet philanthropic, fair yet unjust, this is the real world where right and wrong are judged by the results of a competition when people have similar status."

"Welcome to the prestigious Ma Musume, head of the Golden Family, Golden Victory."

Chapter 215 Rudolf's First Time

Uma Musume Club, the arena.

During non-practice periods, the Uma Musume Club undertakes a large portion of the training workload for top-tier Uma Musume.

This includes arrangements for on-field competitions and training, as well as other off-field facilities. Even the Horse Girls Club has top-of-the-line fitness equipment in Japan for racehorse girls to practice.

Since families don't need to practice for competitions, they each have a relatively private date and time period to practice with.

Today, it's the turn of the newly established prestigious Ma Niang family, the Golden Family...

"So that's all you talked about?"

Watching Tamamo Cross, Tokai no Tei, and Oguri no Hat, the three racehorse girls running on the track, Rudolf symbolized the confirmation of this information to Golden Victory with great interest.

"Won't your family tell you the news?"

“They didn’t tell me.” Shaking his head, Rudolf answered Golden Victory’s question, then offered an explanation:

"It might be a way of keeping an eye on me. After all, there's some conflict between the prestigious Uma Musume and Treson Academy, at least during my time as student council president."

"What about us? People like us with no background should be more inclined to side with Treson Academy, right? Especially after receiving such care from you, the prestigious Mama-chan."

"Hmm... It's possible that they sensed through some channels that the relationship between you, Baizai, and Treson Academy wasn't exactly friendly, or it's possible that the value you've demonstrated has surpassed theirs."

"Of course, it's more likely that my background also limits some things. If I were to gain too much power from the prestigious Ma Niang under such circumstances, it would be too risky for the overall development of the family."

It seems that she had already made many guesses about her own experience. Even though her family did not explicitly tell Rudolf these things and she pretended not to understand and did not touch on them, the fact is that this student council president had actively tried to find out more through various channels.

Everyone experiences a degree of rebellion when faced with a world they live in but don't understand, and even a racehorse as outstanding as Rudolph the Horse Girl is no exception.

"Oh...that sounds really troublesome. I'll definitely be too lazy to deal with this in the future. If anyone has enough ability and the inclination, whether it's the family head, the president, or the chairman, they can all take it themselves."

Seeing that the pure white horse seemed to have no intention of dealing with these troublesome matters, the Empress couldn't help but smile charmingly.

Power, for those who are capable, is often an irresistible poison that they can become increasingly entangled in.

When you have enough power, the results that you used to risk your life for can now be achieved with just a few words, and someone will do the same for you.

She didn't believe that someone as clever as Golden Victory hadn't noticed these things, but the pure white horse girl still chose this...

Perhaps it's due to their unwavering perseverance, or perhaps it's because they were dissatisfied with the past Japanese horse racing system and chose to avoid such pure power.

Or perhaps... perhaps it's arrogance.

The arrogance that this undefeated racehorse girl has accumulated since her debut has become a reality that she believes is irreplaceable by anyone but herself.

"Well, it seems like you have a problem with me."

A dangerous glint flashed in his red eyes, accompanied by a momentary stillness.

Rudolph symbolized only a feeling in her heart, and then the golden victory was replaced by her usual wide grin, as if she had gained the upper hand in another contest:

"See, you got a little nervous just from one look at you, didn't you? You can't be like this, Luna-chan!"

Infected by the other party's childlike state, Rudolf chuckled a few times, then conceded with his hands, replying, "That's why I came here today to learn some aura techniques from you, White Disaster."

After all, times have changed, and everyone has started to study and learn the art of projecting confidence.

Previously he had been hesitant about winning the gold medal, fearing it might affect his future performance as Rudolph in international competitions. However, after recognizing the changing times, he decided to join in.

However, to Golden Victory's great surprise, even though he was very clear that aura techniques would inevitably influence this era and have the potential to increase strength, this imperial lady from the symbol family still did not specifically train in aura techniques, only retaining the original pure aura and crude way of using aura.

It is known that even the newcomer Megumi McQueen had already received aura training from the Megumi family before the Golden Victory, but Rudolph actually chose to come to them only after everything had settled down, just like a pure and innocent woman.

For a racehorse girl whose growth in all aspects has reached its limit, who is willing to risk her life for every bit of strength in the race, Rudolf symbolizes the incredible patience this horse girl, who is about to embark on an international expedition, has shown in enduring the temptation of what could be a completely new power...

Seeing that not only were the other person's eyes bloodshot, but even their normally pale face had flushed with a rosy hue of excitement, the imperial princess hesitated for a long time before finally uttering another sentence:

"Um...should I say sorry?"

Upon hearing this, Golden Victory was initially stunned, but then readily accepted the apology.

"Hey! It's good that you know you're wrong. The hatred we've accumulated since we couldn't fight back is something we'll all take into account and add to Rudolf's training in aura and technique!"

"However, it is truly an honor to have a dignified family head dedicate his time to an outsider like me."

"Eh? Are we outsiders? Rudolph, why don't you consider coming to my Golden Family? Anyway, we seem to have some horse girls from various families here. If we exclude the Imperial Palace, we're still missing horse girls from the Symbol family and the Chimei family."

"...I would be very grateful if I agreed. If I did, the symbol family would probably be furious."

"Tch, that's a bit of a shame."

Despite her reluctance, Golden Victory knew very well that her invitation would be rejected. After her failed attempt, Pure White Horse Girl steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"Then let's hurry up and get you through your first time, Rudolf. Let me think..."

At this point, the pure white horse girl suddenly remembered some details.

If we follow this line of thinking, then Sister Maruzen probably begged us to give it to her before, right?

There was also the time when I tentatively tried to treat the disabled Hoshino-chan with so-called "energy techniques".

There were even the powerful and aggressive Megumi Titan and Koyama Peak from the previous matches.

Emmm......

Golden Victory, you're such a sinful horse girl...

While the pure white horse girl's appearance froze and her mind wandered elsewhere, Rudolf symbolized that he made no words, simply waiting quietly for the guidance of the golden victory.

After all, the person in front of you is a professional.

At least... she might still owe the other party an apology?

Thinking of this, her mind was somewhat distracted, and she turned her head to glance at the genius racehorse girl running on the track with her other companions.

Guided by the golden victory, the East Sea Emperor has now developed his own confidence.

Of course, Rudolf, as the predecessor of the East Blue Emperor, was very clear that even though the East Blue Emperor won the Satsuki Sho, the gap between the two sides widened again after the competition as Oguri Hat, the goose-haired horse girl, began to take it seriously and seemed to have a real goal to train.

The next top-level clash between the two will take place on the same day as Darby's match in Japan.

Perhaps that race will witness many classic events in the history of Arima Pretty Derby.

Not only the two who have already touched the edge of the domain in the Satsuki Sho, but even the new generation of strong girls from prestigious families will influence the outcome of the competition.

It will certainly be spectacular, but even Rudolf himself wasn't entirely confident about how dire the price of such spectacle would be.

Momentum techniques are a way to ignite an area... huh?

Before Rudolf could continue pondering, the pure white horse in front of him began to speak on its own:

"Oh dear, I got so engrossed in thinking about things, sorry, sorry."

After offering a perfunctory apology, Golden Victory returned to the main topic:

"Anyway, we know each other quite well, so the observation period required for other unfamiliar horse girls is naturally unnecessary. Besides, we already have ways to improve your already impressive state."

The previously mentioned theory of cultivating momentum was later slightly modified by Golden Victory due to Maruzensky.

Just as that senior said, for retired female athletes, relying solely on the momentum accumulated during their careers is clearly insufficient. Even with such a foundation, they must consider other ways to improve.
