Hearing Celestial Weave's words, the golden-haired horse girl took two steps back, trying to cover her thighs with her hands, but she couldn't completely hide them.
Flustered and blushing, she exclaimed in a fit of desperation, "I-I know my legs are a bit thick, but they're not 'strong'!"
At her words, Celestial Weave finally looked up, confused. "What are you talking about? I meant your Power is impressive."
Seeing Celestial Weave's puzzled expression, the golden-haired horse girl's cheeks puffed out.
I don't know if she's saying these misleading things on purpose. If she is, that's really mean!
Seeing the golden-haired horse girl's silence, Celestial Weave continued, "From what you said earlier, you seem very confident about your debut."
"So I wanted to see if you had the ability to match that confidence."
"The conclusion is, you're quite strong."
Only the top three in the debut race are considered to have successfully debuted. This statement meant that Celestial Weave thought she had the ability to be in the top three.
After saying that, Celestial Weave blinked innocently, as if asking if there was anything else she didn't understand that needed explaining.
Seeing this, the golden-haired horse girl's face was still a little red, but she had already moved her hands away from her thighs.
However, she was still a bit confused by Celestial Weave's words, so she asked, "Did I sound confident?"
Celestial Weave nodded. "A horse girl who isn't confident wouldn't be excited and looking forward to a race. If your positive attitude isn't confidence, then what is it?"
This was Celestial Weave projecting her own experiences. When she had participated in her debut race, she hadn't been so positive; it had been more of a desperate, all-or-nothing gamble.
After speaking, Celestial Weave extended her hand to her. "My name is Celestial Weave. I'm contestant number one in this race."
Looking at the outstretched hand, the other girl froze for a moment, surprised by how quickly the topic had changed. "Oh... uh, I'm Narita Top Road. Number three."
However, Narita Top Road quickly took her hand and smiled.
Looking at her warm smile, Celestial Weave was somehow reminded of Nice Nature. She felt they were somewhat similar, both the type to help others and live up to expectations.
"You're a very kind person."
"Eh?! Uh—"
Faced with Celestial Weave's sudden directness, Narita Top Road, much like Nice Nature, was taken aback. The blush that had just started to fade returned to her cheeks, and she stammered, unsure of how to reply.
Just then, another horse girl walked onto the track.
Narita Top Road's ears twitched. Hearing the sound, she subconsciously turned her head, and seeing that it was someone she knew, she immediately waved. She didn't know how to respond to Celestial Weave, so she simply changed the subject.
"Hime, you're here too!"
At the same time, she didn't forget to introduce the newcomer to Celestial Weave. She pointed to the brown-haired horse girl with a low ponytail and said, "That's Admire Vega. She's my classmate."
Admire Vega ignored them, silently warming up in the distance.
Narita Top Road knew her personality, but fearing that Celestial Weave would get the wrong impression, she was about to explain.
Unexpectedly, Celestial Weave spoke first. "She's strong too."
"Eh?" Narita Top Road, who had just been about to speak, was interrupted and subconsciously asked, "Hime is really strong, but how can you tell?"
"Her eyes."
"I saw her desire for victory."
Celestial Weave looked at the warming-up figure in the distance and said leisurely.
Admire Vega had a quality she was very familiar with, a kind of obsession with victory. It was different from the general anticipation of other horse girls; it was a more specific, determined focus on the championship.
She's a person with a goal. In a way, she's quite similar to me, Celestial Weave thought.
Narita Top Road nodded, a little confused, but then she seemed to remember something and shouted, "Ah! So you don't actually have to stare at people's thighs to tell how strong they are!"
Even the distant Admire Vega was drawn by the commotion and glanced over.
Celestial Weave, who was closest to Narita Top Road, was so startled that her horse ears flattened against her hair. "Don't be so loud, the audience is starting to come in."
She rubbed her ears and pointed to the stands.
Narita Top Road subconsciously followed her finger and saw that the stands were indeed starting to fill up, with several people looking at her with confusion.
Realizing what she had done, Narita Top Road's face turned a deeper shade of red.
Looking at her, Celestial Weave, for some reason, said, "Tomato?"
"And whose fault do you think that is!"
Provoked by this, Narita Top Road reached out and pinched Celestial Weave's cheek. It was surprisingly soft.
Celestial Weave didn't resist; she was used to it from Saint-King Halo.
"Top Road! Good luck in your debut race!"
"Go for it, Class Rep!"
Just then, cheers for Narita Top Road came from the stands.
She let go of Celestial Weave's cheek, her hand feeling strangely empty for a moment. But she didn't dwell on it and turned to wave at the stands. "Yeah! I definitely won't let you down!"
Behind her, Celestial Weave rubbed her cheek and said, "You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself."
She knew better than anyone what it felt like to carry such a burden. To lose with that kind of expectation on your shoulders would feel terrible. Narita Top Road was a good kid; she didn't need to go through that.
"Eh?"
Before Narita Top Road could process her words, another shout from the stands interrupted her thoughts.
"Yume! Go for it!"
"Go, Lady Yume!"
Narita Top Road followed the voice and saw a brown-haired horse girl waving at someone behind her, with a group of followers cheering as well.
"Is that Saint-King Halo-senpai?" She knew the cheering horse girl; she was a senior who had debuted a year before her.
"Yeah, she's my sister," Celestial Weave replied, then waved to the stands.
"Eh! Halo-senpai is your sister?!"
Shocked by the sudden news, Narita Top Road shouted again.
At that moment, the distant Admire Vega's ears twitched as if she had heard something. Her gaze shifted complicatedly between Celestial Weave and the cheering Saint-King Halo.
"Sisters... huh..."
She subconsciously pressed her lips together.
