Her and 203rd's preferred tactics, IIRC, were to engage enemy units at long range early in the battle and then move into medium range while simultaneously using an absurdly high number of decoy spells (at least three per person, which caused 203rd's attrition rate to be VERY low). They only moved into the CQC range when the situation became dire.
Nah - everyone's cheering her brilliant performance... except the one uma in the room who speaks German.
That would be Eishin Flash.
Shirogane:That would be Eishin Flash.

You know, if Shiro is as durable as her high stamina, she could run the gauntlet in her Classic year of NHK Mile Cup, Tokyo Yushun (Jap Derby), Yasuda Kinen (Classic) and Takarazu Kinen (Classic). 4 G1s in 2 months. If Oguri can run the Mile Championship followed by Japan Cup, Shiro can go ham with her own schedule. And if she can do Dirt, she gets a bonus Dirt Derby added to the mix.
I would not be surprised to learn that Shirogane has the strength and endurance to pull a move from Gold Ship's playbook and simply plow though the chewed up and muddy track close to the corner rather than going around like the rest of the Umas.
Year 3 school festival obstacle race sounds like a very relevant moment. Gotta win for the unique skill up!
I remember when I reread devil in the ice and noticed that you were banned I panicked a little until I remembered that you also wrote on qq That's actually how I discovered this story when I looked you up.
While I do doubt things will play out this way, I do find it an interesting idea I do kinda want to see play out. Maybe as an omake once there's been a bit more development and we get a better idea of Shirogane's relationship with her team and trainer.
Dominator only works in medium races though. If Shirogane gets a gold red skill it'll probably be a frenzy skill that can cause other racers to rush when she's near them.
There's no real indication that Tanya would have ever actually sung that song, and thus there's no real way for Shirogane to know of, or recreate that song, since she isn't a musician. That said, her performances are likely to be mildly unsettling at least given her unnerving body language.
Her mother would be very mad at her.
There's no real reason this would influence Shirogane's running style, since both are focused on leveraging her advantages. Perhaps one part that would relate is her ability to move laterally much more efficiently than most of her competitors.
Eishin Flash would be so confused. Though perhaps hilariously, Shirogane might end up in a mentorship role for Eishin Flash, since she'd be less weirded out by the schedule obsession.
Eventually Shirogane decides her goal is to run at least one in every single G1 race possible. Maybe she tries running in both the Oka Sho and Satsuki Sho, which just sounds like an absolutely insane thing to try.
Shirogane is able to run on dirt fairly effectively. Not as well as El Condor Pasa, but she'll probably want to run in the Kawasaki Kinen at some point, since it's her home prefecture, and Steady Distance would be racing there too.
The worse the conditions are, the better Shirogane performs compared to her competitors.
Hana: "This schedule is...far too crowded."
Shirogane would absolutely smoke most of her classmates at an obstacle course, but probably would get disqualified for finding some kind of circumvention.
At some point she might see some of the more introverted umas hanging out at her apartment with her to get away from their noisy schoolmates. Once they find out she is very good at cooking then there will be more people interested in hanging out.
Now you have me thinking she and Manhattan Cafe meeting and just chilling over their shared love of coffee.
The state of the Before:
Eh, she can try to propose that, but it would probably get shot down quickly by the other Umas and her trainer. Like, just having 3 races consecutively in-game already got them crying, breaking down, or threatening their trainer. And while I do think Hana is a fraud (putting Suzuka as pace,.smh), she would definitely know the full risk of pushing oneself, to both Shiro health and the potential reputation hit. Especially since a single injury usually is enough to cripple an Uma performance for good.
Sounds similar to Digitan capability. She got a pretty big boost when racing in bad condition.
I dunno about that, considering we have seen events where Uma go through wacky obstacle courses and while the majority fumbled hard, some did really well like Air Groove and Mayano Top Gun. Then there is Gold Ship whose definition of a good time is making wacky obstacle courses (like the recent xmas event).
I can see certain Umas like Ayabe or Air Shakur for a more quiet area to study. Although the problem with Umas and good cooking is that the ones who usually appreciates it, eat quite a lot. I won't be surprised if Shiro won't bother to cook unless its a special occasion, because it takes a lot of effort. Still, I can see her practice cooking with certain Umas like Hishi Akabeno, Nice Nature and Eishin Flash.
Nah. She'd absolutely come up with circumventions, but they'd all be scrupulously in accordance with the written rules.
She doesn't have the speed for Great Escape though. There's a reason why you want maxed speed for every running style.
I think if she defeats a a favorite this way, the reaction the of the audience would be worse than with Rice Shower.
Also McQueen got disqualified once for doing that.
The real question by everyone would be "Or-who?" Trade Mark what?
THat seems like the distances are too short for that though, at least the Mile races. Also you really don't need to dance on every party.
Meanwhile the tank that is Super Creek doesn't care and just goes faster xD.
But the Oka Sho is a Mile though. And of course there are only limited places available.
To be fair, a) she also needs to train a lot more because of the shorter time compared to other sports (like football you can start with 8 basically), and b) that's by different teams/people each time, you don't get football teams that play every weekend for example.
I could see it as a Uma Chibi episodes
Cafe a few years later though Tanya being mentor to Cafe as a fellow Long racer would be interesting. She doesn't quite have her durability though as her career was spaced with long breaks.
Sharp gaze/All seeing eyes, would work. Tanya always got those lovely eyes.
Sadly for Shirogane, after Oguri Cap first year insane national start schedule, there are now limits.
Wouldn't be the weirdest thing for Shirogane to experience.Compared to Being X anyway.
Didn't she sing a song when she blitzed the Rus capital?
As someone unfamiliar with the source material, what exactly happens?
They play off each other to make them both worse. Imagine getting pulled out of a battlefield all of the sudden and being put at a desk. The adrenaline and mental state won't go away, making the paperwork feel so much worse. The paperwork will then create either a false sense of safety, to be torn away later, or a constant state of agitation, just waiting for the war memories to return, like you're sitting in the trench.The question is what they would find more traumatising... the war memories?... or the paperwork hell ones?
Most of them aren't accustomed to the same situations Shirogane is, since situational awareness was life or death for her, and more specifically, it never stopped. Even in this life, she's kept that skill sharp with her deliveries, meaning the habits weren't lost. For most of the other Umas, they might be aware on the track, but there is a clear differentiation between actively racing and not. It might be interesting to see if the guards at Tracen have that same situational awareness though.
…But that won't be relevant in this story, right? Right?
