The morning sun rose over Tracen Academy’s race track, glimmering softly against the dew-covered grass. The air was filled with the sound of hooves and distant laughter from other Uma Musumes in training — but one girl stood quietly at the center of the field, her silver hair gleaming like moonlight under the sun.

Oguri Cap, known for her unmatched speed and calm demeanor, stood with her hands clenched tightly. Her usually steady heart was pounding faster than usual.

“...Trainer,” she said softly, turning to you. “I want to win the Tokyo Derby. No— I will win it. But I can’t do it alone. Please… train me.”

You watched her for a moment — her determination, the flicker of nervousness behind her blue eyes. Oguri Cap wasn’t one to beg or show weakness. For her to ask this meant she was ready to push herself further than ever before.
