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

The third team may be due to the horse girls not being able to escape the influence of the initial collective momentum, or it may be due to the horse girls being too engrossed and constantly using momentum techniques, which dragged down their physical fitness.

It's not that they're completely out of the running, but in this state, the only way to win is to put all their hopes on the top three racehorses fighting head-on.

Perhaps... we should start considering the necessary consequences.

"I still think Tamamo Cross has a very high chance of winning this game."

As a member of the Horse Girls Association who has no vested interest in the horses on the field, Chiaki came here today not only to witness how this top-level competition would develop under the influence of momentum and technique.

Perhaps it's because of the gold medal victory.

This spring festival, which would drastically change her life as a horse girl, saw her choose to come and watch the pure white horse girl, knowing that she would definitely come.

"Oh? So sure? Although we're pretty sure too."

"Since both legendary racehorse girls off the track are so confident in their prediction of the winner, then the remaining question is how many racehorse girls inside the track can maintain their resolve to defeat Tamamo Cross..."

"I remember that Bai Zai, you could make your aura and techniques even more terrifying while in your domain state, and even kick your opponent out of the domain state, right?"

And killing the opponent...

She didn't say that, nor did she dare to.

The reason why Sakura Victory died in the Domain state remains a mystery to this day.

Being able to enter the arena means you have the qualifications to become a top racehorse girl, but entering the arena also means that every second of your race will become a heavier burden.

Even in experiments, and even when retired noble horse girls were used, their aura and skills did not seem to be sufficient to be used in the domain state, so they dared not experiment too frequently.

After all, the price of using the field as an experimental environment is injury to both legs, or even permanent disability.

Even retired racehorse girls wouldn't dare take the risk to the end. Faced with this dead end, even the most prestigious racehorse girls couldn't force the other party to sacrifice for the sake of Japanese racehorse girls.

"Well... if it were really that easy, why didn't we win that match so easily before?"

The question was posed to Representative Chiaki, and the competition he was referring to was naturally the ultimate contest that took place between the Uma Musume Club and the prestigious Uma Musume Club, where legs served as the ticket to victory.

"Even if you force your opponent out of their domain state through your aura and techniques, as long as they have enough awareness, they will be able to return to that legendary arena later."

With a slight smirk, Golden Victory recalled the events of the previous match.

While the aura techniques used by others are certainly useful, the problem is that in the face of a full-scale domain state, even a gold-level victory would be extremely burdensome to force everyone out of the domain state.

"Not to mention that everyone has more or less mastered the techniques of momentum this time, if we want to achieve what we did before... we need to seize the right opportunity if we take into account the consumption."

The real room for maneuver is to enter the domain state first and kick people out directly from high to low in a way that reserves a place.

"So, the key to victory or defeat still lies in the outcome of the competition within the same field, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chiaki understood why the other party had never explicitly stated that Tamamo Cross was certain of winning the competition.

field......

Anything strange can happen in a domain state.

It's not the first time that a seemingly weak player has suddenly entered a state of dominance, gritted their teeth and persevered to the end, ultimately pulling off a major upset and narrowly defeating the seemingly strong Uma Musume.

Of course, everything that happens comes at a price. It may be a fracture or injury that requires a long period of recovery, or even a trauma that affects one's performance, leading to a decline in future competitions and eventual retirement.

But for those horse girls who are always just there to compete, winning a top-level race, or even defeating a strong competitor as an extra value of victory, is perhaps the most glorious moment in their horse girl career.

"If Tamamo succeeds, that's certainly something to celebrate, but if she doesn't, it doesn't matter."

"After all, it has always been our opponent."

Facing Chiaki, the racer who once hated her but is now a friend, Golden Victory revealed her goal during a casual chat while watching the race.

She wants to break the influence of the domain on horse racing girls.

The "Domain Status" rating is a recognition of top-tier racehorse girls, a testament to the courage of those who seize opportunities to face the competition from the strongest.

However, Pure White Horse Girl sees this as a lament of professional racehorse girls, with negative impacts no less than the grueling training that was initially promoted.

Even though the concept of a domain isn't necessarily linked to Golden Victory like Black Swamp or Devil Training, Pure White Horse Girl believes she has such a goal since the aura techniques she developed can influence racehorse girls in their domain state.

Perhaps it was an obligation that had to be undertaken when the aura technique was born, or perhaps it was the mission that Pure White Horse Girl, the one who systematized the aura technique, shouldered.

"Perhaps it's about almost completely reducing the side effects, or minimizing the use of the field. As long as everyone can stop worrying about their health from now on, and no longer have to gamble everything and let their bodies break down because of winning a game, that would be great."

However, upon hearing this answer, Representative Qianming's expression became more serious and solemn than ever before.

"...White Disaster, do you really know what you're saying?"

"Ok?"

Sensing something was amiss, but her subconscious thought led the pure white horse girl to respond to Representative Chiaki in a lighthearted tone:

"Well, this should be considered a price to pay for Japanese horse racing. If it really takes away the jobs of your prestigious horse racing girls, then we'll apologize first. But what needs to be done still has to be done."

In her opinion, the reason why this triple crown horse girl was so nervous was simply because what Golden Victory was planning to do would affect the fundamental interests of a prestigious horse girl.

Regarding the information about the field provided by the famous horse girl.

She had already read it after requesting it before. Most of the contents were experiences and a lot of things that Golden Victory had not been able to test before.

The domain status specifies detailed requirements regarding physical and technical aspects.

How to more easily trigger domain states.

How to transcend physical limits in a domain state.

How can we minimize the side effects of the domain status?

And what she had seen at the prestigious Uma Musume Club: how to prevent the side effects of the Domain State from directly affecting the body after a match.

With these things, the gap between elite female racehorses and ordinary female racehorses widens, and it seems quite reasonable now why elite female racehorses can become frequent winners in top races.

“Golden Victory... Senior, do you know that?”

"Japanese horse racing, the famous horse racing in Japan, has a concept of territory."

"That is a gift from the god of the horse race to the racehorse, and it is also a way for their people to please the god."

......

The off-track discussions between two legendary horse girls who could influence Japanese horse racing suddenly became heavy as the race progressed, but this change had no impact on the race itself.

On the field, the many female racehorses are running hard, their minds racing not only with how to deal with the track and their opponents, but also with their desire to win.

Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth...

Even the last-place racehorse girl, having the courage to step into this top-level arena, must be prepared to win.

Faced with the rationality of their career race schedule and the innate desire of race girls to surpass their opponents and win the highest possible ranking, everything about them becomes something they must consider.

The race has now reached the fourth turn! The first lap will be over soon!

"Currently in first place is racehorse number eight, Tamamo Cross! From the start of the race to almost completing the first lap, can this grey-haired horse achieve a spectacular and decisive victory, leaving no one able to catch up and ultimately gaining the upper hand!"

"Currently in second place, running leisurely behind, is horse number five, Mejiro Dylan! In this long-distance race, can this Mejiro family horse girl overcome the strong rivals ahead and win the victory!"

"Slightly behind Meguro Dylan is racer number 10, Golden City!"

As they entered the fourth bend, Dylan's gaze sharpened.

With about 60% stamina remaining, Tamamo Cross will likely start accelerating or even sprinting before the fifth bend.

So... it's time to go all out and give it our all right from this moment on.

The moment he confirmed it, Meguro Dylan's pace quickened!

Facing the formidable rival, Ash-haired Horse Girl, unlike in previous races where she was overtaken by Tamamo Cross's chasing style and then affected by the opponent's momentum and skills, ultimately unable to exert her strength and losing.

One defeat after another.

But this time, it's different.

This time, she won't care about anything else!

Because today's competition is the Emperor's Prize!

The Emperor's Gift, belonging to the Mejiro family!

She glared at Dylan and demanded the victory in this competition!

As the speed increased and the technique was pushed to its limit, the image gradually became distorted at high speed.

At this moment, the top racehorse girl from the Meguro family began to exude her own noble aura, which was revealed in her glossy black!

In an instant, the opponent and the audience had vanished!

Only Megumi Dylan was left running swiftly across the field!

Come, Tamamo Cross.

I'll be waiting for you on the field!

Chapter 223 Fierce Horse (Part 1)

"Ah! Meguro Dylan is accelerating!"

"So fast! Their incredible speed has created a huge gap between them and Golden City, which was previously not far behind, and the gap is widening!!!"

"Number 5 racehorse, Meguro Dylan, is very close to Tamamo Juuki! How will Tamamo Juuki deal with the opponent who is rapidly catching up from behind!"

Megumi Dylan... has entered his domain state, hasn't he?

Upon realizing that he had been outpaced by his opponent, Golden City knew that Megumi Dylan must have entered his domain state.

You can enter the domain state simply by accelerating...

Is this the foundation that a prestigious racehorse girl possesses?

In a match between G3 and G2, non-elite female racehorses still have a chance to win against top-tier racehorses that have already achieved enough glory.

Because they have already proven themselves, they don't need to sacrifice their leg lifespan to win in such a minor, high-stakes competition.

But... if it's the G1 race, which represents the pinnacle of Japanese horse racing, then...

Just like this Emperor's Prize, the difference between ordinary racehorse girls and prestigious racehorse girls will be fully reflected in the limits that both sides can ultimately reach.

However, even though he was very clear about how desperate this gap was, Golden City did not intend to give up.

Momentum and Techniques...
