Happy Father's Day to....me?

But i'm not-

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

|| Croix Du Nord lost!

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

@HimedereUma || You haven't! Not even a little bit!

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

|| Feels like Ikuno's run her course...but who to flip to?

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

@HimedereUma || *Bonk*

Of course you're here you dork. You're the reason Ikuno's hung on this long.

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

@HimedereUma || It's kinda dead..

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

"Hmmm. What do you think is stronger?

Gentildonna's strength,
Oguri's stomach or
Helios' vocabulary?"

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

It's....really quiet in the Canopus building lately.

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

"Tachyon-san. .I have a race tomorrow."

[(𝙞𝙣𝙟𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙) 𝐀𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐲𝐨𝐧. @T4CH_N0L0GY]

“An experiment! Why else would I be wanting to do this? Now be still.”

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

"Why-"

[(𝙞𝙣𝙟𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙙) 𝐀𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐲𝐨𝐧. @T4CH_N0L0GY]

“Dear fellow Umamusume. For my next experiment I’m going to inject you with a paralyzing toxin, simulating what it feels like to be 𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 to run for a temporary period of time.”

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

@SINFULSILENCE88 "Sunday-san. . .that might break McQueen."

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

Congratulations, you're now a member of Ikuno's harem.

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

"Once again, since you all appear in the mood, practice safe umapyoi."

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

". . . .goodness."

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

"Oh? Is that the Queen's confidence coming out? To so easily brush aside a triple tiara..."

Ikuno stuck her tongue out teasingly.

"Ah..well..compared to you, to them, I am, am I not? Perhaps even third rate."

[Mᴇᴊɪʀᴏ MᴄQᴜᴇᴇɴ ♛℧ @HimedereUma]

Giggling at that.

"She is indeed excellent.
But nay."

She did a hand motion of putting a crown on.

"I am the Crown Jewel.
I wear it proudly. I simply wish the rest would see their own excellence.
As you should. 'Second Rate'? Just because you're a bottom doesn't mean-. ."

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

"Couldn't you just point to Miss Ramonu? I mean...she did win a triple tiara.

Couldn't you tell them that she is the peak?"

[Mᴇᴊɪʀᴏ MᴄQᴜᴇᴇɴ ♛℧ @HimedereUma]

"I agree with you.
But even among such elegance and greatness, there must be a peak.

I stand at that peak.
I understand all too well how Rice felt, being hated for winning.
My own clan sees me as a reminder that they're still climbing a mountain I already conquered."

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

"Um...perhaps this sounds silly coming from a second rate umamusume like myself but, you're all incredible?

You're all winners at the highest of levels. All beloved by the public. The name Mejiro is synonymous with success."

[Mᴇᴊɪʀᴏ MᴄQᴜᴇᴇɴ ♛℧ @HimedereUma]

"Yes.
If that was all there was to it.
But they and everyone else constantly compares us. Palmer. Ryan. Dober. They see themselves as lack luster, b-because of me.

Even when I hype them up, they see it as patronising."

[𝙸𝚔𝚞𝚗𝚘 𝙳𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚜 @Lady0fSummer]

"Is that...a bad thing? You, the strongest, most powerful umamusume of our generation, one of the greatest, if not the greatest stayer in history, to overcome such an 'obstacle' would certainly be something worth aiming for, no?"

[Mᴇᴊɪʀᴏ MᴄQᴜᴇᴇɴ ♛℧ @HimedereUma]

"They don't, Ikuno.
A lot of them see me as an obstacle to overcome.

They don't hate me but I know they all compare themselves to me.
I wish they could see themselves how umazing they are.

I have leagues to go before I can properly lead."
