Some Uma Musume always had a few days when they acted up. If they acted up every day... then just let them.
"Air Groove, were you waiting for us here on purpose? I thought you were just about to go in and handle some business."
Zhou Yuang ignored Daiichi Ruby completely. As long as they didn't talk about anything related to aliases, it was fine.
But what was Air Groove planning to do by coming out?
She didn't look like she was heading out to work, either.
"Because in the room... Ah, Takamine is inside discussing something with the president."
Air Groove looked troubled. After all, an incredible senior was discussing something with Rudolf, so a Uma Musume like her, who clearly shouldn't intrude, had left the room.
When she saw Zhou Yuang about to open the door, Air Groove immediately reminded him.
"Be a little careful. Takamine isn't in a very good mood. Also... she seems to be asking the president about something rather important."
"Okay."
Zhou Yuang agreed, then pushed open the office door.
Inside, he immediately saw Rudolf and Takamine sitting across from each other in front of the tea table.
"Oh, you're here?"
Rudolf wasn't surprised. She had estimated that they should be arriving around then.
Takamine, however, hadn't known. The ill-tempered dark bay turned her head toward Zhou Yuang standing at the door and Oguri Cap following behind him.
"..."
She said nothing, simply staring at Zhou Yuang and Oguri Cap.
Oguri Cap, the straightforward gray-coated girl, noticed that she was being watched. Without almost any thought, she met Takamine's gaze.
Seeing that Oguri Cap seemed as pure as a blank sheet of paper, Takamine moved her eyes away without interest and began sizing up Zhou Yuang beside her.
