Mother

I do hope you've given up on that silly notion

Mother dearest, shouldn't you be be the one giving up on asking?

All the promising talents from your class have already moved on to the next stage

You're the only one remaining

Don't you think it's time?

I don't think so

No matter what anyone else says,

I am King Halo, a first-rate uma musume.

......I see.

Well, let's suppose you're a first-rate as you say

Then your failures up till now were due to,

"Something" outside your control, then?
