On the way to the finish line, there are always many difficulties and obstacles.
For example, right now, Gold Legend encountered a strong obstacle on her way to the broadcast room.
"No, I have the key, why can't I enter the broadcast room?"
Gold Legend looked at the obstructing staff member with a puzzled expression.
"Having a key only means you can use the broadcast room, not that you can enter it," the Administrator said naturally. "If you wish to enter, please show your proof of use."
"I need proof of use to use the broadcast room? What kind of rule is that?"
I've never heard of such a thing!
Gold Legend frowned.
"This is a rule set by the chairman of this resort. Although the entire resort is currently rented to Tracen Academy for their summer training camp, a rule is a rule."
Please don't make things difficult for us.
"Tsk, why is there such a rule!"
Legend complained helplessly.
"It's said that someone once used the broadcast room without authorization to confess to the chairman's daughter, which led to very serious consequences."
The Administrator said matter-of-factly.
"...Holy crap."
There's such gossip?
Legend became a little interested and continued, "What consequences?"
"That young lady accepted the confession."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Lovers finally becoming family, sounds pretty good.
"When she accepted the confession, the young lady was only 12 years old."
"...What happened to that gentleman later?"
"He was sentenced to more than five years in prison for pedophilia, then after being released two years ago, he married the young lady, and is now the general manager of this resort."
"Ah, this..."
Gold Legend was at a loss for words.
"In short, if you want to use the broadcast room, please show your proof of use. If you don't have it, please go apply for it."
The Administrator reiterated.
"Alright... where should I go to apply for it now?"
"Originally, these matters were managed by the general manager. During the handover, it seems the relevant documents were given to your Director's secretary."
"Understood!"
Legend turned and left without any hesitation.
...
After some time, Legend found the secretary, who seemed to be on vacation, by the beach.
Maruzensky and a familiar-looking Uma Musume were sitting on a beach blanket, leisurely sunbathing.
"Sister Tazuna?"
Legend called out to the Uma Musume in a sexy beach dress with a subtle expression.
"!"
The Uma Musume's body stiffened, then she denied with an embarrassed expression, "Oh, student, are you calling me? You must have the wrong person, there's no one named Tazuna here..."
"You are Sister Shunkawa, aren't you?"
Gold Legend said with a confident expression.
"Hahaha, I told you, your disguise can't fool someone who knows you well."
Maruzensky, who was sunbathing nearby, couldn't help but laugh as she watched the secretary being cornered by Legend.
"Ugh!" The Uma Musume in front of her was still putting up a stubborn resistance. "I'm just an ordinary Uma Musume, not Hayakawa Tazuna!"
"...Isn't that practically a self-incrimination?"
"Anyway, Hayakawa Tazuna isn't here, understood?"
"Huh? Aren't you just here..."
"Hmm?" A murderous glare.
"...I understand."
In a sense, Legend was a very pragmatic horse.
"Ahem, student, what can I do for you, Miss Secretary?"
"It's like this..."
Legend explained the whole situation.
"...I see, so you want to use the broadcast room?"
Although she didn't understand what clarifying her reputation had to do with borrowing the broadcast room, Hayakawa Tazuna still understood Legend's desire to use the broadcast room.
"The proof is on my desk. Do you need me to get it for you?"
"No, just tell me the location, and I'll go myself."
"Alright, my office is in..."
After giving instructions, Miss Hayakawa bid farewell to Legend.
"Oh, Legend-chan, one more thing."
"?!"
"Is my disguise really that bad?"
Miss Hayakawa looked at her swimsuit and said with some difficulty.
Legend showed an awkward but polite smile.
"...Is it really that bad?"
Miss Hayakawa sat back on the beach blanket with an unwilling expression.
Maruzensky looked at her friend's rare expression and immediately became somewhat excited.
Before Legend could say anything, Maruzensky frog-jumped in front of Hayakawa Tazuna.
"I've always wanted to see that expression on you~"
It was very similar to a famous scene.
"Ah, this..."
Sister Maruzensky, you're an experienced driver, not a butt-head!
Feeling that she would die from knowing too much if she stayed, Legend turned and ran without looking back.
...
After spending a lot more time, Legend finally got the proof of use.
"Excellent, the equation for victory has been solved."
Legend, holding the key and the proof of use, once again set off for the broadcast room.
"Oh!"
A small figure bumped into Legend, who hadn't been paying attention due to her excitement.
Both fell to the ground simultaneously, and the key in Legend's hand flew out.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Rice Shower didn't mean to."
Before Legend could speak, the Uma Musume who bumped into her had already skillfully bowed her head in apology.
Her practiced apology was heartbreaking.
"It's alright, it was my fault for not paying attention. Are you okay, Little Rice?"
"Little Rice?" Rice Shower heard the familiar address and looked up. "Ah, it's Big Sister."
"Big Sister?"
When did I become a Big Sister?
Legend was bewildered.
"What's wrong, Big Sister?"
Rice Shower saw Legend's bewildered face and asked doubtfully.
"Um, Rice Shower, why do you call me Big Sister?"
Legend asked, puzzled.
"Didn't Big Sister promise to be Rice Shower's sister last night?"
"Last night?"
"Could it be that Big Sister has gone back on her word? Well, that makes sense. A useless child like Rice Shower has no right to call Legend-san Big Sister. I'm sorry, I was presumptuous..."
Rice Shower suddenly started feeling inferior.
"How could that be? It's my honor to have a sister as cute as Rice Shower. I'm just a little unaccustomed to it. I really, really like Rice Shower." Legend hurriedly comforted her.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Legend nodded repeatedly.
"That's great. I thought Big Sister hated Rice Shower."
Rice Shower breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ahem, um, Rice Shower, did I say anything last night?"
Legend asked, feeling a bit uneasy.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Big Sister?"
"It's just that, I was a bit out of it last night and don't quite remember what I said, so I'm just checking. Ah, don't worry, the matter of accepting Rice Shower as my sister is absolute."
Seeing Rice Shower suddenly start to spiral again, Legend hurriedly added.
"Big Sister doesn't remember?"
Rice Shower's expression began to turn dejected.
"Just a little bit."
Legend made a gesture.
"Then, does Big Sister not remember saying that Rice Shower is your blue rose either?"
"Hmm?" Legend's eyes widened.
"Does Big Sister not remember saying you will always like Rice Shower either?"
"Ah, this..." Legend started to sweat.
"Big Sister also said you would prepare a wedding dress for Rice Shower, and that Rice Shower's wedding dress would definitely be beautiful. Does Big Sister remember that?"
"..." Legend was already numb.
What have you done! [Flower]!!!
"Um, Big Sister?"
Rice Shower, seeing Legend suddenly go into an OTZ pose, asked with concern.
"It's fine, don't worry, I remember everything..."
Legend forced a smile at Rice Shower.
It seems a trip to the broadcasting room is imperative.
If I said things like that to Rice Shower, I dare not imagine what I said to others!
Legend stood up, her face showing resolve.
"Is Big Sister going to do something?"
Rice Shower asked.
"Ah, I'm going to the broadcasting room. There are some things I need to clarify. You see, this is the key... Huh? Where's the key?"
Legend was dumbfounded.
"The key? The one that just flew away?"
Rice Shower tilted her head.
"Flew away? For real?"
Legend hurriedly looked around.
"Are you looking for this?"
A white figure tossed the key in her hand and slowly walked out from the shadows.
"...Golshi? Why are you here?"
Legend looked at the disheveled Gold Ship, a bad premonition welling up.
"Didn't expect this, Oba-chan! I've returned from hell!"
Gold Ship declared with a dangerous smile.
"Golshi, stop messing around! Give me the key."
Legend frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
"I will clarify what happened last night, is that what you said? This is the punishment for your betrayal of me. I am going to cut off your hope right now."
"Nani?!"
"Gold ♦ Legend ↑! I have already spread the news to the entire Tracen about how you were flirting everywhere last night. And now, you want to use the broadcasting room to announce your love life to the world! I'm sure those Uma Musume are all rushing towards you right now! How about it, how do you feel? Oba-chan!!"
"Wha! You bastard, Golshi!"
Gold Legend was shocked.
"Now, my dear Oba-chan, I want to play a game with you! Let's bet your life on it!"
"I will wait for you at the door of the broadcasting room, struggle all you want, hahahahaha!"
Gold Ship laughed loudly and strode away!
The game has begun.
