Smash them! Smash them!
In the video, Golden Journey furiously slammed the newspaper in her hand onto the table.
The proud new generation of the Gold Family sat silently in their individual sofas, listening.
What were you thinking, huh?!
And brazenly invite those successful Uma Musume? Bah! Disgusting! I'm too embarrassed to even call you members of the Gold Family now!
Sighing, Golden Journey said earnestly,
Just one word: disgusting! You've completely shamed the Gold Family! Disgusting! Disgusting! Disgusting, so disgusting! Bah, truly disgusting!
Golden Journey grumbled and walked out of the camera's range; the sound suggested she slammed the door on her way out.
...
Silence filled the scene.
Hiss, does the Gold Family even have such a thing as 'face'?
There's a certain family that constantly neglects their duties, slacks off, and commits all sorts of mischief while idle,
Be careful, Sister Lütu might hear you, and then you'll get scolded again,
I didn't say which family,
Don't you have any idea who you're talking about?
But Sister Lütu is actually so angry, could it be that we went too far?
Gold Legend leaned back on the sofa with her legs crossed, resting her right hand on her face, deep in thought.
Is there a possibility that it's because we didn't invite her?
...For a moment, I couldn't refute that,
I think Sister Lütu is so furious probably because of her drastically increased workload,
As a result, our actions directly sent her back to square one.
Orfevre took the phone; the headline blared in huge letters—Shocking! Tracen's High-Level Officials Gather at Police Station, japanese horse racing world in Turmoil Again!
Tsk tsk, I have to say, when it comes to stirring up trouble, Oba-chan, you're the best. You quietly created such a big news story; I'm far from your league,
...I didn't expect it to turn out like this!
Let's rewind a bit.
After discussing with Festa, Gold Legend promptly began making arrangements.
Although she was a qualified slacker, she didn't mess around with certain things; the sooner they were done, the sooner she could rest.
First, she familiarized herself with the Police Officer and discussed it with them, obtaining the right to use the detention center.
To explain, it's probably because of the existence of Uma Musume, who are role models embodying all things good, in this world.
The moral standards in this world are very high.
Thanks to this, the crime rate in this world is extremely low; one could say that lost items are not picked up, and doors are not locked at night.
In a sense, it can be considered an ideal world.
Therefore, the existence of the detention center is more for procedural correctness; in reality, it serves little purpose, aside from occasionally punishing those who commit minor offenses, like Gold Legend. Most of the time, it's idle.
Thus, when Gold Legend applied, the Police Officers readily agreed.
After all, Gold Legend checked in once a month and had long become familiar with them; the managing police even set aside a room specifically for Legend's use.
After all, the Police Officers were also bored to death in such a place every day. Having a cheerful person visit them every now and then, and even check in once a month to help out, they couldn't be happier. They cherished her like a precious treasure, so a trivial request like that was absolutely no problem!
In this way, Legend easily secured the venue, and the Police Officers even helped decorate the place.
The venue was sorted, next was the people.
Gold Legend didn't overthink it; she sent text messages to everyone in her contact list who wasn't family, as she didn't have many friends, just a few.
Then problems arose.
Let's see who she invited.
First, her teammates from Team Spica.
Then, friends like Nice Nature, Tachyon, and Manhattan Cafe.
So far, no major issues.
Then came popular idols like Oguri Cap and Gold City.
And then the Student Council, led by Rudolf, Hayakawa Tazuna as secretary, and the Mejiro Family. When Hayakawa came, she also brought Yayoi Akikawa, who was tagging along for a meal... These people were basically powerful, influential figures, each a top-tier personality in the japanese horse racing world, commanding great influence.
Look at these people: the wealthy Gold Family, the influential Northern Family (Akikawa), and the influential Mejiro and Symboli families.
Hayakawa and the Student Council representing Tracen.
National idols like Oguri Cap and Gold City.
These people gathered together, and at a Police Station no less. You say you're there to celebrate a friend's birthday? Who would believe that?
The entire japanese horse racing world instantly descended into chaos! Especially the high-ranking officials of the Japan Racing Association, who were all on tenterhooks.
Golden Journey, who was enjoying a leisurely half-day at home, suddenly had her phone explode with calls, and what was even more frustrating was that she had no idea what was happening. Many people even went directly to the scene to try and gather information.
Chairman Akikawa also had a fiery temper. She was just there for a free meal; it was bad enough that they interrupted her fun, but now they wanted to stir up trouble?
Fine! You think we're going to cause trouble? I'll show you trouble!
She immediately held a meeting with Rudolf and Hayakawa on the spot to plan something big!
Rudolf was also decisive; since the Chairman gave the order, they would do it. Besides, she had been annoyed with those high-ranking officials for a long time.
She immediately negotiated with the people present, and then everyone happily ate and finalized a series of measures.
The speed and efficiency were truly lightning-fast.
Thus, in just one night, the entire japanese horse racing world changed.
However, this had nothing to do with the people involved who were having a great time.
Leaving aside the matter of Festa being carried back to her dorm by Sirius, our Miss Legend, after tiring herself out, expertly returned to the room that had been cleared for her, pulled up her blanket, and fell into a deep sleep, completely oblivious to the chaos outside.
And that's how it became the current situation.
When Gold Legend was frantically dragged by Gold Ship to the Gold Family's house prepared at Tracen for a meeting, Gold Legend was still half-asleep, completely unaware of the situation.
So, in conclusion, I accidentally became the initiator of this reform?
Yes, yes!
Her three nieces nodded.
...What happened? I don't think I said anything in the name of the Gold Family, did I?
How did I become the initiator?
And it seems the Gold Family has become the main force. Did you guys agree to anything?
I didn't fall!
...
"Oh~ it seems someone remembered something." Gold Ship keenly noticed Festa's cold sweat, "Then it seems I have nothing to do with it."
...You did well, Festa! It seems the position of the next representative of the Gold Family is yours for the taking." Orfevre immediately twisted the knife.
"May you be promoted to family head soon." Gold Legend, although she didn't know what happened, also echoed, hoping to resolve the matter quickly and go back to sleep.
"Damn it, you can't do this! We're dear friends and family! And my surname isn't Gold! I'm actually from the Nakayama family!" Festa was anxious.
What does being the Gold Family's representative mean? It means being promoted to the glorious family head within three years and taking over the entire Gold Family! That would shorten one's lifespan!
The Gold Family usually doesn't have a representative. Once there is one, it means the current family head can prepare for retirement.
Not this kind of thing!!!
"It's okay!" Gold Ship placed her hand on Festa's shoulder, with a look of deep affection, "Gold has never been a surname; it's a legacy."
"The weight of Gold is too much for me to bear!" Nakayama Festa said with a solemn expression.
"Alright, I've already posted the matter in the family group. The rest is up to you." Gold Orfevre returned the phone to Festa.
...Orfevre, you bastard! You can't do this!" Nakayama Festa's eyes were splitting with rage.
"Then let's go. By the way, have you guys had breakfast?" Gold Legend immediately got up and walked out.
"No." Gold Ship and Orfevre, who followed, shook their heads together.
"Then I'll treat."
The three Uma Musume calmly walked out of the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind them.
And Nakayama Festa could only watch as the door, symbolizing hope, slowly closed.
"Hehe! You know what I'm going to say, don't you? Little Festa~"
On the screen, Golden Journey, who had returned, stared at Nakayama Festa with an indescribable smile, like Yuno Gasai.
...
What awaits Nakayama Festa? We shall wait and see.
