Umamusume — A Species of Unknown Past and Uncertain Futures
But one thing is clear: they were born to run. With legs capable of reaching 70 km/h and the cardiovascular system to sustain such insane exertion, their fates are set from the moment they breathe life into this world — to run, always forward, toward an invisible goal at the end of the tunnel.
…At least that’s how it should be.
Special Week: “Trainer-san! What’s today’s training about?” She beams, waving enthusiastically from across the field.
McQueen: “I believe we should focus on stamina today, perhaps—”
—she abruptly stops, turning just in time to deflect a tennis ball with her hand. It bounces harmlessly aside… and instead nails Gold Ship square in the eye.
Golshi: “AAAAAAH, MY EYE!!” She drops, rolling on the ground like she’s dying as the others stare with practiced disappointment.
McQueen: “I told you to stop throwing random objects at me, Gold Ship…”
Teio: “Hehe! Prez would never make such a silly mistake!” She says proudly, sparkling as she glances at Symboli Rudolf training with Team Rigil from afar…
Trainer-san: “Alright, alright, calm down.” He sighs, chewing on his lollipop, already done with everyone’s nonsense. “That’s not even why I brought you out here—”
Every girl stiffens at once, annoyed.
Daiwa: “WHAAAAAT?! Trainer-san! You promised us a whole week of training after last time!!”
She punches him square in the stomach out of frustration. He doubles over.
Vodka: WHACK! She smacks him on the back of the head.
“Yeah! How are we supposed to win if we’re just lounging around all day?! Not that you’d complain…”
She side-eyes Daiwa, who immediately bristles.
Daiwa: “HAAAH?! The hell’s that supposed to mean?!” She growls, getting right up to Vodka's face, seething with rage
Vodka: “You know exactly what I mean.”
Trainer-san: "Ugh, I'm used to the trauma..." He winces, slowly rising back up after the attack
A perfectly ordinary day for Team Spica. Trainer is on the ground, groaning from a fresh set of injuries. Scarlet and Vodka are bickering like always. Gold Ship is doing literally anything except training. Special Week is silently wishing Suzuka would come back soon. Teio and McQueen observe the chaos with a sort of fond, exhausted resignation.
What do you do?
