Amidst the cool touch of the early summer breeze, Umamusume gear up to partake in a competition to adquire a unique set of racewear. |

Now! Without further ado, let us commence the Beauty Dream Cup model audition! Show me your brilliance! ☆ |

Desserts are great and all... But I'm more interested in the races! Wouldn't you guys like to enter the Beauty Dream Cup? |

Kawakami Princess |
Of course! There isn't an Umamusume alive who wouldn't want to run in the race that unveils Beauty Anshinzawa's newest works! ♪ |
|
Kawakami Princess |
All her designs are top-tier--there's no one in the fashion capital of Paris who hasn't heard of her genius! They say her hands are blessed by the goddess of beauty! |
|
Kawakami Princess |
Imagine being able to run as one of her fashion models! The Umamusume in Paris are so lucky! |
|
|
Guys, guys! Turn on the TV THIS INSTANT! |
|
|
|
|
|
...Ms. Beauty, is it true that you're going to be relocating to Japan? |
|
Beauty Anshinzawa |
Yes. Something stirred in me after hearing my sister talk about our hometown. I just know there are unpolished gems waiting for me to turn them into diamonds! |
|

|
|
|
Is that why you decided to host the Beauty Dream Cup and its auditions in Japan starting from this year? |

Beauty Anshinzawa |
Correct. ♪ The entry requirements are the same as they were in Paris. As long as they spark my interest, anyone can enter regardless of their accomplishments or debut status. ☆ |

Furthermore, the audition to decide the muses and the models for her outfits will also be held in Japan. |

Hishi Akebono |
I wasn't expecting this to become such a big deal... Are you two going to enter the audition? |
|
Mayano Top Gun |
Yeah! After all, the concert for Beauty Anshinzawa's racewear design is bridal wear! |
|
Mayano Top Gun |
Nothing can make a grown-up lady shine brighter than a wedding dress! I've just gotta get my hands on an outfit like that! |
|
Kawakami Princess |
Me too! As one who aspires to become a princess with both beauty and strength, I can't miss the chance to get such a dress and become a muse! |

Kawakami Princess |
Besides, if I happen to run into a prince in the future, it'll be much easier to catch him if I get used to running in a dress now! |

Mejiro Dober |
Air Groove... Yes... I just can't muster up the courage to enter. |

Mejiro Dober |
I can't help but feel I'm not worthy of being called an "Umamusume beauty." |

Air Groove |
I see. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, is it not? Rather than worrying so much, why not simply apply and let the designer decide? |
|
Mejiro Dober |
You're right. Logically speaking, I know that's the best thing to do, but I... |

Air Groove |
Huh?! |

Oh, this makes me think of when you were younger. Do you remember what you said when you saw me in my racewear? |
|
|
You said you wanted to be just like me, and that when you grew up, you were going to get a first-rate designer to create your very own racewear! |

She sounded so delighted, there was no way I could tell her I wasn't planning to audition... |

Kawakami Princess |
There will be a fabulous castle-like hotel, a private beach for VIPs, and maybe the chance to meet an incognito prince... It's going to be amazing! |

Mejiro Dober |
