McQueen approached in her white Pegasus Victory Outfit. Her usually gentle eyes now held the same sharpness they had shown when she faced Tokai Teio.
White McQueen walked over, stared straight at Bourbon, then turned a gentler gaze on Rice Shower.
"Rice Shower, thank you for all your hard work lately."
When Two Uma Musume Clash, Someone Else Wins
White McQueen stepped beside the young junior she was finally seeing in person and looked her up and down.
Rice Shower, a tiny black bay, might not have stood out, but the petite Uma Musume was as sweet and innocent as a delicate doll.
She worked hard, listened well, and treated everyone with courtesy. She seemed like a child straight out of a fairy tale.
Who could casually direct malice at an Uma Musume like her?
There was a reason she got along with Haru Urara, who had won the hearts of countless players and Uma Musume.
Birds of a feather, after all.
White McQueen, however, did not know Haru Urara and had barely spent time with Rice Shower.
But as the former pillar of Sirius Team Five, White McQueen still resented its dissolution. How could she not care deeply about one of its remaining members standing right beside her?
"But you won't have to worry anymore. As your senior, I'll make sure to help you."
White McQueen was gentle and considerate by nature. Between her attachment to Sirius Team Five and Rice Shower herself, she ignored Bourbon and spoke to Rice Shower as though she were her own little sister.
"Senior McQueen... I'm all right."
Rice Shower was overwhelmed by White McQueen's concern.
After all, in this world, Mejiro McQueen's strength had drawn Rice Shower to Sirius Team Five in the first place.
It was impossible not to admire her.
