After making their pact to et again in the Autumn Tennō Sho, Dream Weaver waved goodbye to Narita Brian. As the champion of the Spring Tennō Sho, she still had the Winner's Stage ceremony to attend.
But now, Dream Weaver was no longer troubled by the Winner's Stage. After all, she had already competed in so many scripted worlds, she had long since accumulated plenty of experience.
She wouldn't say she was particularly skilled at it, but she certainly didn't find it difficult anymore.
And so, Dream Weaver, along with the second-place finisher, Rice Shower, and the fourth-place finisher, Stage Champ, completed the Spring Tennō Sho Winner's Stage ceremony.
Back in the preparation room, changing out of her victory outfit and preparing to leave, Dream Weaver couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
That Uma Musu nad Stage Champ actually beca one of the stars of the Winner's Stage because of Narita Brian's absence. Even now, thinking about it, it felt a little unbelievable.
It was as if everything had been predestined by her very na.
Still, Dream Weaver didn't find it all that miraculous. While it seed coincidental, there were already traces leading to this outco.
Stage Champ was simply the strongest Uma Musu aside from herself, Rice Shower, and Narita Brian.
Furthermore, Narita Brian had been injured for a while, so her absence from the Winner's Stage was predictable. It was just that Stage Champ's na was so fitting that it made Dream Weaver make the connection.
Just as her thoughts began to wander further, she noticed a crowd had gathered near the exit. Hearing the noise, they imdiately raised their caras and recorders, their eyes burning with intensity as they focused on Dream Weaver.
Seeing the reporters had been waiting for so ti, Dream Weaver shook her head, clearing away the jumbled thoughts inside, composed herself, and walked towards them.
Her grandmother desired the revival of the Northern family. Besides achieving the Spring and Autumn Tennō Sho double, Dream Weaver needed to make the Northern surna renowned throughout the horse racing world once more.
Therefore, giving interviews to these reporters, who acted as ssengers, was necessary.
In the middle of the crowd, jamd in tightly by reporters from various newspapers, Sugimoto Kentaro anxiously stood on his tiptoes, but could only see the red ribbon fluttering on Dream Weaver's head.
He had wanted to find Dream Weaver earlier, but he had hosting duties and couldn't get away. By the ti he finally finished work, Dream Weaver had already stepped onto the Winner's Stage.
Sugimoto Kentaro hadn't even been able to watch Dream Weaver's performance, rushing to the entrance in hopes of catching her imdiately, only to be sward by the horde of reporters the mont he arrived.
Now, forget having a private word with Dream Weaver, even getting a clear look at her was difficult.
"These reporters! Do they have to be this desperate?! Couldn't they let talk to Dreams first?!"
Pressed chest-to-back in the stifling crowd, even the usually calm Sugimoto Kentaro was growing frustrated and angry.
He had never hated his own powerlessness as much as he did now. But there was nothing he could do except wait for the reporters to finish their interviews and then find an opportunity to approach Dream Weaver.
As Sugimoto Kentaro fud, Dream Weaver had already reached the reporters. Facing the wave of caras and microphones thrust towards her, she showed not a hint of panic. Instead, she randomly pointed at one reporter who looked sowhat familiar, signaling he could ask his question.
Tagami Kan, a rookie on field duty, was excited that his very first interview was with a G1 race champion.
He flipped through his little notebook and started with the first question.
"As the new Spring Tennō Sho champion, what are your thoughts?"
"The Spring Tennō Sho is a special race for . I've strived this far for my family's glory, and being able to win is thanks to the blessings of my predecessors."
Dream Weaver answered fluently. She had pondered this statent for a long ti. By steering the topic towards the Northern family, she could logically continue from there.
She was confident her story would spread throughout the horse racing world via the reporters' records. She had even thought of a title for her interview, sothing like 'The Last Scion of a Fading Noble Family's Glory'.
"What are your racing plans going forward? Do you intend to participate in the Takarazuka Kinen, which is just over a month away?"
"That's not under consideration for now."
"Are you certain? Just monts ago, Miss Rice Shower announced her withdrawal from the Takarazuka Kinen. With no rivals left for you there, how can you give up a G1 victory that's practically within your grasp?!"
Tagami Kan stopped writing in shock.
Rice Shower had left the Kyoto Racecourse before Dream Weaver and had naturally been interviewed by this very group of reporters. Just earlier, she had announced she would not participate in the upcoming Takarazuka Kinen.
So, Tagami Kan couldn't help but remind Dream Weaver—this was a readily available G1 victory! How many Uma Musu give their all, exhaust their entire careers, and still never attain the glory of a single G1 win.
Hearing this, Dream Weaver nodded. It seed Rice Shower had followed the voice in her heart and made her decision. Perhaps this way, she wouldn't face risks on the track due to pressure.
She paused for a mont before continuing to address Tagami Kan.
"The Takarazuka Kinen isn't my goal. I didn't co to the racetrack to collect more G1 titles."
Hearing this, Tagami Kan put his pencil down again. He frowned, puzzled. He had never heard of an Uma Musu who didn't want a G1 championship.
"Then which race will you participate in next?"
Seeing that Tagami Kan had finally asked the question she wanted to hear, Dream Weaver imdiately looked at the cara, her expression serious and earnest.
"Next, I will win the Autumn Tennō Sho."
Upon hearing Dream Weaver's words, a commotion imdiately erupted among the reporters. Everyone started talking at once, and Tagami Kan's eyes widened as he exclaid,
"You aim to achieve the Spring and Autumn Tennō Sho double?!"
"Correct. I will inherit my predecessors'—"
Before Dream Weaver could finish her sentence, the noise from the crowd grew even more intense.
People kept saying things like 'I knew it!' and 'I guessed it long ago!'
Before Dream Weaver could wonder how they had already guessed her goal, she saw Tagami Kan shift his gaze from the top of his notepad to the very bottom, an expression of sudden understanding dawning on his face.
"Of course! As an Uma Musu from the jiro family, you naturally want to accomplish the great feat of the Tennō Sho double!"
"Once, jiro Asama and jiro Titan achieved a mother-daughter double in the Autumn Tennō Sho! And a few years ago, jiro McQueen went a step further and completed the Spring and Autumn Tennō Sho double!"
"Now, is the jiro family finally aiming for the nearly impossible goal of achieving the Tennō Sho double again?!"
Watching Tagami Kan, whose face was flushed with excitent, Dream Weaver felt as if a heavy hamr had struck her mind. For a mont, she was at a complete loss for how to respond.
The jiro family? ? What does the Northern family's Spring and Autumn Tennō Sho double have to do with the jiro family?
