Rudolph Symboli also fell into deep thought after hearing this, wondering if she was too impatient?
Indeed, it was inappropriate to invite a junior Horse Girl who was still growing to join the student council.
Unless the other party had such a desire herself, it would be strange if it went smoothly.
No, perhaps other Horse Girl would join due to the pressure from the President, or out of admiration for the President.
But Polaris Glacier would not; from her address, it was clear that she didn't consider Rudolph Symboli an superior.
After all, she was a… well… a naive young lady who dared to confront Rudolph Symboli with her aura on their first meeting?
She should have realized earlier that she couldn't be treated as an ordinary junior.
"By the way, Rudolf, why did you suddenly want to invite Polaris?"
Maruzensky asked in confusion, as Rudolph Symboli had previously said she had no such consideration.
"Yesterday, I suddenly remembered what Maruzensky you mentioned before, so I thought I'd give it a try."
Rudolph Symboli shook her head slightly, recovering from the dejection of being rejected. She decided from the bottom of her heart that next time she invited someone, she must first consider the situation and the other party's wishes clearly.
"So that's it, which means Rudolf, you've changed your mind?"
"It's a pity I couldn't get her to agree; I feel a bit regretful."
Upon hearing this, Polaris Glacier, who was sitting between the two, silently closed her eyes, feigning indifference.
By the time they returned to Fuchu, it was already a new week.
Everyone at the Academy was either attending classes or training, and Polaris Glacier was no exception.
"Yo, good afternoon, Polaris, are you training too?"
On Friday afternoon, Polaris Glacier, who was repeatedly performing high jumps with weighted horseshoes on the training ground, suddenly heard a greeting from behind her.
Her feet landed heavily on the ground, and she turned around to see a Horse Girl with short black hair, exuding a passionate aura, and a somewhat straightforward appearance.
It was Katsuragi Ace, whom she had met once in the cafeteria.
"Oh, it's Katsuragi Ace senior, it's been a while."
Polaris Glacier's lips curved into a practiced smile; clearly, her young lady persona was back in full force.
"Polaris, you and I aren't that distant, are we? Just call me Katsuragi Ace like before."
Katsuragi Ace said familiarly, not forgetting the main point:
"I'll be participating in the Mainichi Okan this Sunday; can you come watch it live?"
"In return, I'll treat you to a meal afterward."
"Treat me to a meal?"
The meal wasn't the main point; the main point was that they could use this opportunity to improve their relationship and become more familiar.
Understanding this, Polaris Glacier only pondered for a moment before nodding and agreeing:
"No problem, I'll be there. I've wanted to watch your race, Katsuragi Ace, for a long time."
She remembered that it was in June when, after watching a race replay at the manor, she had the idea of going to watch Katsuragi Ace's race live.
Simply because the other party's running style was the same as hers—leading—she wanted to see if she could learn anything.
Although it was somewhat sudden, since the other party had now taken the initiative to invite her, there was naturally no reason to refuse.
"Oh, oh, I'm so happy to hear you say that, Polaris. Then I'll see you on Sunday."
Saying that, Katsuragi Ace waved her hand and quickly ran off to continue her training.
Polaris Glacier watched her leave, once again marveling at her straightforwardness and decisiveness.
As time slowly passed, the sun gradually set in the west.
After eating with Sirius Symboli and Mihono Bourbon in the cafeteria, Polaris Glacier originally planned to return to the manor with Kumi Trainer.
However, as she walked out of the Academy gate, she encountered Chitose Meiji, who had returned, and stopped at her greeting:
"Good evening, Polaris junior, are you heading back now?"
"Good evening, Chitose Meiji."
Polaris Glacier first returned the greeting, then nodded and said:
"Yes, I'm waiting for the Old Butler from my family to pick me up."
After the simple greetings, the two would normally part ways, but Chitose Meiji lowered her brows slightly and, after a moment of thought, continued:
"By the way, Polaris junior, are you free this Sunday?"
"?"
Regarding Sunday, two people had already brought it up to her today.
Polaris Glacier vaguely felt something connecting, so she didn't rush to reply but instead asked in doubt:
"Excuse me, Chitose Meiji, is there something you need?"
"Oh, nothing much. It's just that I plan to participate in the Mainichi Okan this Sunday, and I wanted to invite you to watch it live."
Chitose Meiji's ears twitched, and she briefly glanced at the teaching building in the distance:
"I also plan to invite Rudolf and Maruzensky to come along; the four of us can go to the racecourse together then."
"...As expected, Chitose Meiji, you're also participating in the Mainichi Okan?"
Well, this was it. Katsuragi Ace and Chitose Meiji were going to compete on the same racecourse.
"Also? What do you mean, Polaris junior?" Chitose Meiji blinked, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.
"Actually, this afternoon, Katsuragi Ace also invited me." Polaris Glacier wagged her tail slightly and briefly recounted what happened in the afternoon.
"Katsuragi Ace? Katsuragi? Oh, she's also participating."
Chitose Meiji realized, smiling faintly as she put one hand on her hip:
"Well, that's even better, isn't it? The five of us can go together, and we can even have a meal together after the race."
She and Katsuragi were from the same generation and had raced together several times, so they were quite familiar with each other.
Rudolf and Maruzensky... although they weren't very familiar with Katsuragi, it was a good opportunity for them to get to know each other.
"I see, I understand. I'll be with you all on Sunday."
Polaris Glacier smiled and nodded. Just then, the Old Butler arrived with the car, and the two waved goodbye.
As night deepened, streetlights illuminated the streets.
Perhaps because tomorrow was Saturday and a day off, many children could be seen walking hand-in-hand with their parents, their faces beaming with happy smiles.
In the car, Kumi Trainer looked at her young lady, her mouth slightly agape, appearing as if she had something to say but was hesitating.
Polaris Glacier, seeing this blurry reflection in the car window, thought for a moment and then softly initiated:
"Trainer, just say what's on your mind."
"Ah, alright, young lady, it's like this..."
Caught off guard by her young lady, Kumi Trainer paused slightly, then no longer hesitated and also said softly:
"The October races have been scheduled. There are a total of two G3-level races, one next Sunday and one the Sunday after."
With only a week between them, and factoring in the races from the previous two months, it truly could be described as terrifying.
The young lady's physique was simply too extraordinary; not only did she not accumulate much fatigue after each race, but she seemed to become even more energetic.
Speaking of which, has the young lady grown taller...?
Kumi Trainer squinted slightly, confirming that her feeling was not mistaken; the young lady was indeed much taller than when they first met.
If she was just over 1.5 meters when they first met, she was at least 1.6 meters now.
Then, her gaze subtly shifted to the young lady's chest, staring and observing for a few breaths before suddenly nodding in approval.
Should she say it was indeed a Horse Girl in the midst of her full-fledged growth? Her physical development speed was indeed much faster than human children of the same age.
"Another G3-level race...?"
Polaris Glacier, upon hearing that the upcoming races were again G3-level, immediately felt bored and slowly closed her eyes.
Her breathing gradually became even.
"Young lady?"
Kumi Trainer sensed the change in atmosphere and looked over in confusion, finding that her young lady had already tilted her head and fallen asleep without realizing it.
Her movements subconsciously softened. She took out her phone, and with a flick of her finger, sent a message to the Head Maid.
When the car arrived at the manor, the Head Maid was already standing at the gate, waiting.
The Old Butler opened the car door, and Kumi Trainer inside gently tilted the young lady's body. Finally, the Head Maid carried her on her back and brought her back to her room on the second floor.
She gently placed Polaris Glacier on the bed, turned on the air conditioning, and drew the curtains.
The Head Maid softly said goodnight, then turned off the light and left.
On the other side, inside the Central Tracen Academy Student Council room.
"I see, so this Sunday is when you, Chitose Meiji, are scheduled to return to the racecourse."
Rudolph Symboli, Maruzensky, and Chitose Meiji, the three Horse Girl, were sitting on the sofa, with teacups in front of them on the table, filled with freshly brewed tea.
"Yes, that's right. So, Rudolf and Maruzensky, what are your replies?"
"Of course we're going! We can't miss CB-chan's return to the racecourse."
Maruzensky smiled and lightly clapped her hands, as if she had thought of something, and continued:
"By the way, CB-chan, have you invited Polaris?"
"Yes, I happened to run into her at the gate when I came back, and she agreed."
Chitose Meiji took a sip of tea and added:
"By the way, Katsuragi Ace will also be racing. I was thinking we could all have a meal together then."
"Katsuragi Ace?"
Rudolph Symboli recalled, somewhat enlightened:
"Is that the one from your generation, Chitose Meiji? That's great; I've wanted to meet her for a long time."
"That girl seems to have completely finished her full-fledged growth, hasn't she? She might become a formidable rival for you, CB-chan."
Maruzensky read a lot of newspapers, and she was aware that Katsuragi Ace had won this year's Takarazuka Kinen.
"Completely finishing full-fledged growth? I'm the same, and I've always considered Katsuragi Ace a rival."
At this point, Chitose Meiji suddenly fell into thought.
The Mainichi Okan was her scheduled comeback race, an important way to inform everyone that she, a Triple Crown Horse Girls, was officially returning to the racecourse.
But since Katsuragi Ace was also participating, it was clear that winning wouldn't be easy.
Moreover, she hadn't stepped onto a racecourse for nearly a year, so how much strength she could exert when truly running, and what her condition was like, were still uncertain.
Could she only take it one step at a time?
