Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 122 My trainer has spoken (2 more chapters, 110 chapters )

Xiao Limao didn't hear any explanation or shouting, she just stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of her.

That back view... is that a march...

Amazing! I haven't seen her for a month and she has become so amazing...

Is this an illusion? I always feel that she is now...

A bit like Xiaoyu in the training match that day?
What did Kitahara say? What kind of... realm did Xiaoyu enter at that time?
It's really amazing, the march...

Beiyuan said that it was very powerful, but I didn't understand it, and yet you did...

That’s amazing…

But, I won’t lose!

“March, march, song!!! Aaaaaaaah!!!”

In response to Oguruma's sudden roar, the commentator's voice became louder than ever before.

"Oguruma is speeding up again! It's so obvious! She's speeding up again!!"

"This is her famous 'Secondary Acceleration'! She has won 11 games in a row with this! Can she win the 12th game?!"

"The distance has not shortened! It has not shortened! The distance between the little chestnut hat and the march has not shortened!"

"Still one horse length! Still one horse length! This is amazing! This is the first time that Kurimaro is still behind the other horse girls after using the second acceleration!"

"Is it the influence of the extra distance of the Outer Path before?! Even after the special training, it is still impossible to completely eliminate such influence?! Ogururo Hat?!"

The audience seats also became noisy, but still boiling.

“Is this really a local competition?! Oh my god! Is it more exciting than the central one?! Is this really just a local Uma Musume race?!”

"Come on! No matter who wins, I will be your two fans from now on! I will support you with all my strength! Ogururo Hat, March!"

"Who will win? I, I don't dare to watch!"

And just like before, Beiyuan's expression became serious again, even more serious than before.

...It turned out to be a domain... What the march touched was actually this...

Was it because of her obsession to defeat Oguruma that she was able to charge forward without distraction, thus becoming like Tamamo Cross at that time...

Beiyuan's expression became more and more solemn.

Although being able to touch the domain proved that what I thought before was correct, with the bloodline of "Dongjun Breath", the first G1 Chrysanthemum Shooting Ashigao champion, Fujimasa March was indeed delayed in another world...

But I can't be happy at all...

Still one horse length, still one horse length, no sign of catching up...

Could it be that Oguruma is going to lose for the first time in a formal competition?

Just before leaving Kasamatsu and heading to the central area...

Tear, tear——

A strange sound came from his arm. Beiyuan didn't want to waste time looking at it at first, but a slight pain in his arms distracted him and he glanced over there.

He tore the clothes on his arms.

At some point, he crossed his arms, and due to unconscious force, his fingers scratched 10 holes in his clothes.

Not only did it scratch my clothes, it also scratched my skin.

The bright red color was slowly seeping through the fabric.

...After losing the training match that day, was Oguruma feeling the same way...

Suddenly remembering that night a month ago, Kitahara was stunned.

He remembered that night when he watched Little Chestnut Hat walk out of the dormitory with his head down, walking with his head down all the way.

He watched her clench her fists little by little until bright red seeped out from between her fingers.

...That day, were you also so unwilling...

He suddenly remembered the look he saw that night.

Like a flame, it burns with desire, fighting spirit, and unwillingness.

The desire, fighting spirit and unwillingness were so intense that even if someone put them out with water, they would still reignite from the ashes.

Until it burns to ashes.

So, with that look in your eyes, will you really lose this game?
Before heading to the central area and facing off against the most powerful horse girls in the world, will you really carry the regret of losing the last match of Kasamatsu with you?
No, you won't...

Because you are...

"Little chestnut hat!!!"

"Run!!"

“Run!!!”

“Run ahhhhhhhh!!!”

...Kitahara?
...Is it Kitahara calling me?

...It must be.

...I think he said something, but I was too far away to hear clearly...

but.

I see.

Sorry, March.

You are very strong today.

but.

My trainer has spoken.

"Again, another acceleration!!! Oh my god!!! What did I see?! For the third time?! After accelerating twice, Oguruma actually accelerated for the third time?!!!"

"Closer, closer! She has finally closed the distance between herself and the March! She's getting closer!"

"1/2 horse body!"

"1/4 horse body!"

“Side by side—!”

The commentator's voice had completely broken, and the cheers from the audience almost turned into roars.

Like a surging wave, the surging cheers hit the entire stadium one after another, and also hit the eardrums of Kitahara, New Glory, Super Little Bay, Miyamura Kyoko and others.

Brand New Glory, Super Little Bay and Miyamura Kyoko were originally cheering for Oguruma at the top of their lungs, but Kitahara's sudden roar just now stunned all three of them.

They had never seen Kitahara lose his composure like this. In their impression, Kitahara, the team's chief trainer, might be a little strict and even old-fashioned, but he was always calm and composed in training and competitions, as if nothing could affect his mood.

But they soon realized that Kitahara was just an ordinary, normal person.

He knows a lot about training and competition, and has a lot of information from nowhere. He can also handle all things in an orderly manner every day, but he is still an ordinary person.

Perhaps it was because Kasamatsu had worked diligently for nearly a year, all for the sake of leading his racing girls to the central team with dignity, and now the first step towards this goal, this dream, was finally about to be taken, and he was too excited.

I really hope that my first horse girl can be beautiful and have no regrets, enter the center in the spotlight, and show her unique charm to the world.

"Run! Little Chestnut Hat!"

"You are——the horse girl who wants to conquer the world——!"

"Go change! Go surpass! Go inspire! Go give courage, hope, and strength to everyone who sees you—!"

"Run! Little Chestnut Hat!"

Beiyuan didn't know how long he had been shouting, he only knew that his throat was getting more and more painful, his temples were getting more and more swollen, and finally it felt like a sledgehammer was hitting his forehead, and his whole head was in a mess.

His vision also became blurred, and he gradually could not see clearly anything on the track, nor the silver-gray figure rushing towards the finish line like an avalanche rushing down from the sky.

But he could still hear it, hear the shouts of Brand New Guanghui, Super Little Bay, and Miyamura Kyoko beside him who started to shout in a broken voice at some point, hear the thunderous applause from the audience, and hear the commentator's trembling roar.

"She's surpassed! Little Chestnut has surpassed! She's ahead!"

"A quarter of a horse's length! She's ahead by a quarter of a horse's length!"

"1/2 horse body!"

“1 horse…crossed the finish line!!!”

"Xiao Li Mao has crossed the finish line!!!"

"She turned defeat into victory! She crossed the finish line!!!"

"In the last 200 meters, she accelerated three times! She finally turned defeat into victory! She crossed the finish line proudly as the first place!!!"

"Let's congratulate Oguri! She has achieved the amazing feat of 12 wins in 12 games! This is Oguri! This is the Kasamatsu star, Oguri!"

"Let's congratulate her!!!"

After the finish line.

"Haha...haha...haha..."

This is the first time... This is the first time I feel so tired. It's so strong. March, it's really strong...

An unprecedented fatigue spread throughout his body. For the first time after running, Xiao Limao bent over, leaned on his knees, and gasped for breath.

But her heart was full of excitement and excitement.

"Haa ...

She wanted to share this excitement with her friends and rivals, because it was their unexpected strength that made her feel unprecedented thrill and fighting spirit. She wanted to share this excitement and appreciate the power of the march.

However, as soon as she turned her head, she was stunned.

The situation with the march is a little odd.

Her steps didn't seem to be disordered, but her breathing was a mess.

Breathing after running is very important. Xiaolimao has heard this from Kitahara more than once. No matter how much she was panting just now, she did not do it randomly. She was breathing steadily according to the rhythm that she had trained countless times.

The breathing of the march is not.

Like a broken bellows, the march's breathing had no rhythm and was filled with strange, rustling noises.

But she was still able to speak, and she didn't even gasp for breath when she spoke, and she just seemed to sound a little weak.

"… As expected, it's a monster, Oguri…"

She actually smiled. "I... practiced so hard for so long, but still... lost to you..."

"Sure enough...I was right..."

"You...shouldn't go to the East Sea Derby..."

"The Triple Crown... is your real stage..."

Xiao Limao had already walked in front of the march, and her instinct told her that her friend's condition was very problematic.

But she didn't know what went wrong. She was confused and subconsciously reached out to the march.

At the same time, she whispered in her heart.

This, this… what’s going on with this march, Kitahara…

As if her thoughts were heard, an urgent voice came from the edge of the runway.

"Little Chestnut Hat! Hold on to March! Don't let her move any more!"

"Hey? Kitahara..."

He looked in the direction of the voice in a daze, but before he saw the familiar figure, Oguruma noticed through his peripheral vision that March suddenly shook and fell over.

At night, in the waiting room of Kasamatsu Regional Hospital.

"Okay, it's no big deal. I looked at the diagnosis certificate and related test results from the doctor. March is fine. It should be said that it was a false alarm."

The one who was speaking was Miyamura Kyoko, and in front of her were Kitahara, Oguruma, Shining Glory, and Super Little Bay, all with worried and serious faces.

"In simple terms, it is the common hypotensive fainting after strenuous exercise."

Kyoko Miyamura continued to explain: "During strenuous exercise, the heart rate increases, blood pressure rises, muscle oxygen consumption increases, lactic acid formation increases significantly, and it causes a lot of sweating."

"When you stop exercising all of a sudden, without any relaxation, your heart rate and blood pressure drop, but the body's demand for oxygen does not drop."

"A lot of lactic acid accumulates in the muscles, and the lactic acid needs fresh blood to be supplied to bring oxygen to break down the lactic acid."

"On the other hand, after the blood pressure drops, the blood flow to the muscles does not decrease significantly, but the blood flow to the brain will decrease, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain."

"This situation is not uncommon and is relatively easy to solve. Just get more rest."

"So it's still what I said at the beginning. March is fine. It was just a false alarm."

After the explanation, Oguruma and the other three horse girls breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great, the march is fine, it's really great, really great..." Ogurumao kept repeating these words.

"If it's just a fainting, then there's really no problem."

Xiao Haiwan nodded. "I am quite sensitive to my breathing. Sometimes when I run too fast and fail to adjust my breathing properly, I can clearly feel how much more effort it takes to breathe compared to usual."

"I guess this is what Kyoko-sister said, muscles and stuff take up more blood."

New Glory is concerned with something else.

"It's also thanks to Mr. Kitahara that he noticed something was wrong with the march. Otherwise, even if it was just a normal fainting, it would still be a problem if it lasted for too long."

"Mr. Kitahara asked trainer Shibasaki about the situation and knew that there would be problems with the march before the end of the game?"

Kitahara happened to be thinking about Shibasaki at the moment.

He was a little angry, but more helpless.

Ever since he started training Little Chestnut, New Glory, Little Bay and the others, he rarely communicated with other trainers.

To put it nicely, he has a unique training system. To learn about other trainers' methods, you can just look up more information, especially the information about central trainers.

To put it bluntly, no matter the specific methods, system construction, or the height of vision, he is not on the same level as most Japanese trainers. Even the central trainers are mostly for reference, not to mention the local trainers.

Over time, he forgot that in this era, Japan was even more backward than the other world in the horse girl industry.

He didn't really want to imagine how Fujimasa March had been trained over the past month or so, but he could actually imagine it.

It's nothing more than relying on perseverance to break through physical limits under harsh environments and high-intensity training.

This is completely contrary to Kitahara's philosophy.

Truly efficient and advanced training is precisely to make the horse girls suffer as little as possible.

Why do we need to do two training sessions if we can achieve the same result with just one session? Isn't it better to do the next step with the second training?

Why two days if you can master it in one day? Wouldn't it be better to train further the next day?

If there were no cheat codes for any system or simulator, how could he have squeezed out so much time to consider business affairs?
It is true that talent cannot determine this matter, but no matter how good the talent is, it must be "provided" with sufficient resources.

Even if you have less talent, it doesn't matter.

A person with 100 talent but can only use 90 due to lack of resources is definitely not as good as a person with 95 talent but can fully use 95 with the help of resources.

What's more, the talent difference between horse girls is not as exaggerated as 5%. Averaged over all the running body values, the overall numerical difference is probably in the range of 1% to 2%. The difference distribution in this case can be completely solved with resources.

Occasionally, Kitahara would fantasize about how great it would be if he had a cheat code like the ones in mobile games.

Then he is willing to click countless times so that Oguruma and the others don't have to work so hard and bring their stats in all aspects to S, SS or even UE.

Whether they want Kitahara to do this is another matter, but Kitahara himself is extremely willing to do so.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have that kind of golden finger.

Then use resources to solve the problem, and make sure that your horse racing girls don't have to suffer pain and misfortune, and can show themselves on any stage they want without worries.

So he was very dissatisfied with the training methods of most Japanese trainers, especially Shibasaki at this moment.

But he couldn't blame anyone because Shibasaki also fainted.

The trainer of March does have a lot of room for growth in his abilities, but he cares for his horse girl as much as anyone else.

After the race, he almost instinctively followed Kitahara and ran towards the finish line in a panic. When he saw March fainted, he barely ran forward a few steps and also fainted.

The examination results showed mild malnutrition, severe fatigue, and fainting caused by the qi and blood attacking the heart.

At this moment, he is lying next to the March.

...Well, I'll try to persuade him after he wakes up. After nearly a month of training, I can't let him do that again...

Restraining the complicated emotions in his heart, Kitahara decided to talk about something else to distract himself.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Xiao Li Mao.

"Xiao Li Mao, when you were sprinting to the finish line, how did the march make you feel? Can you tell me about it?"

March's fainting happened very suddenly. The scene was in chaos for a while. The commentators and the audience were exclaiming in surprise. Amid the noise, Kitahara didn't have time to ask about the game situation.

He wanted to confirm whether the reason why March once suppressed Oguruma was because of the domain.

Xiao Limao was stunned.

"Hmm... if I were to describe the feeling that the march gave me..."

She scratched her head. "It should be similar to what Xiaoyu did in the training match, right? She seemed very impressive."

"I remember you said, Kitahara, that thing is called...field?"

...It is indeed a domain. It seems that what I thought was correct. It must be because of the persistence to defeat Oguruma that the March touched that threshold.

Then, March should have achievements beyond the other world. After all, those who can touch the field are the top horse girls of a generation.

So, in the end, it was Oguruma who won the game...

Kitahara perked up and asked about Oguruma impatiently.

"So, Little Kurimao, did you feel the domain?"

After thinking for a while, he added, "Is it the feeling during the race when you don't think about anything or feel anything, and just want to rush to the finish line in one breath?"

"What's it like to not think about anything?"

Xiao Limao rubbed his forehead, pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

"Not the kind Kitahara said."

"To be honest, I think I heard Kitahara's words before I reached the finish line, and then... I didn't think too much about it. I just felt that I should rush forward and work harder."

“Is this a field?”

After a moment of silence, Kitahara shook his head.

The last time we discussed the issue of domain in detail, Komiyama and Yusuhara were still in Kasamatsu. According to the paper provided by Yusuhara, one very obvious manifestation of domain is "not thinking about anything", or "being completely focused".

When one concentrates to this degree, one will not feel the passage of time or most stimuli from the outside world, and naturally one will not think about the sounds from one's own side.

In addition, there are other experiences such as complete overlap of actions and consciousness, the body automatically reacting without the need to think, and greatly enhanced abilities in all aspects, which Oguruma did not mention.

...So, it's really ridiculous that Oguruma didn't touch the field, but he was able to win against March who did touch it...

Is this because Oguruma is too strong, or is it that March has not actually touched the realm? Is it an illusion that Oguruma thinks she looks a bit like Tama?

Or maybe, the domain...isn't that strong to begin with?

Kitahara couldn't help but think so.

The comics portray the domain in an exaggerated way, and the anime also has similar special effects, as if whether or not a horse girl has a domain determines how strong she is and whether she can win.

If it was just in anime, Kitahara could still accept this kind of thing.

But in reality, he does not think that the domain is an invincible existence.

The reason is simple. The essence of a domain is to maximize or fully utilize the abilities of the horse girl, or even slightly exceed them. In most cases, having a domain does have advantages, but if you assume certain situations, the results may not be the same.

To give an example using numbers, suppose the bonus to speed from a domain is 10%, then the base speed of one horse girl who masters the domain is 100, and the base speed of another is 90. The former's speed will become 110 when she is under the domain, and the latter will never be able to catch up.

But if the other way around, the Uma Girl with a basic speed of 100 has no domain, and the one with a basic speed of 90 has a domain, then the latter's upper speed limit is only 99 even when in the domain state, and she still cannot catch up with the former.

Perhaps, if Fujimasa March really has a domain, then her loss to Oguruma would be the latter case.

And the same is true in the game.

For example, the "inherent skills" can indeed increase the speed of the horse girl in a short period of time, but if the distance to the finish line is too short when the inherent skills are activated, only a dozen meters, or if the distance is too far and exceeds the acceleration time, the team will still lose.

In short, no matter what the situation is, Kitahara feels that the matter of domain should still be studied. After all, it can be considered a trump card, but perhaps there is no need to force himself to master all the horse girls.

As long as your basic abilities are raised high enough with resources, you can win even if your opponent has a domain.

After reorganizing his ideas about the field, Kitahara thought about it and felt that maybe he should go back.

"It's a bit late, and Shibasaki and March are both in the hospital."

He looked at Xiao Li Mao and the others and said, "Why don't we go back first?"

"Oguruma just finished the competition, so it's time for him to rest early. So should everyone else."

"That way we can get up earlier tomorrow and visit them earlier."

"Maybe if we come here early in the morning, they will already be awake."

After hearing this, Xiaolimao and the others were stunned, then looked at each other for a while, and then looked towards the direction of the ward with nostalgia and concern.

"Hmm... it seems that what Kitahara said is right. Staying here seems... Oh, by the way, we can bring more food to March tomorrow morning."

Xiao Limao cheered up, "Whenever I feel uncomfortable, I just eat more delicious food and I feel better."

"If it's the March, it must be the same. Let's get up early tomorrow and buy her something delicious."

"By the way, buy some for Chai Qi too. He'll get better after he eats."

"My name is Shibasaki, Oguri hat/Oguri..." X4.

After correcting Oguruma's address without prior agreement, Kitahara and the others smiled at each other, looked in the direction of the ward, and after giving some more instructions to the medical staff, they walked out of the hospital.

On the way to Kasamatsu Academy, Oguruma suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Kitahara, I won't be participating in the East Sea Derby."

Beiyuan was stunned.

"Didn't you have an appointment with March?" he asked, a little confused.

"That was the previous agreement."

Xiao Li Mao explained: "Before the game, March told me that she also didn't plan to participate in the East China Derby. She wanted to go to Central to continue competing with me."

"She also said that I would be more suitable to participate in, participate in... oh yes, participate in the Triple Crown."

"I don't remember exactly if it was this name, anyway, she said that was where my stage was or something..."

"Kitahara, can I participate in that triple crown?"

...Oguruma is going to participate in the Triple Crown? That's not...

Kitahara took a look at the super small bay for the first time.

Xiao Wan didn't look at him, but stared at Xiao Li Mao.

"...Is Xiaokuimao going to participate in the Triple Crown too... Very good..." Xiaowan whispered with his lips moving slightly.

...Well, in this way, the two horse girls under my command are in a perfect match.

Kitahara suddenly felt complicated.

To be fair, he was looking forward to the showdown between Ogurt Hat and Super Cove.

Especially last time, in order to help these horse girls complete a "race across time and space", he regretfully missed the "Master's Special Cup" between Oguruma and Inariichi. After that, he was looking forward to the competition between the Eternal Four even more.

This is the live scene, in another world. Just watching the video footage from decades ago can make people excited. Moreover, every match between Oguruma, Tamamo Cross, Super Kobayashi and Inari must have been one of the most anticipated and most attended matches at the time. Now that we have the opportunity to watch it live, how can we not look forward to it.

But also because of the last "match across time and space", Kitahara was not present at the scene, and only now did he realize one thing.

Who does he expect to win more?
Or, who does he not want to lose?

Or to put it more simply, he was more concerned about winning than Oguruma and the others.

He didn't want any of his horse racing wives to lose, not any of them, not at any time. He realized this deeply only now.

He wanted to avoid the topic, however, when Little Chestnut said that he also wanted to participate in the Triple Crown and Little Bay whispered something, they both looked over.

Shin Shinkyou and Miyamura Kyoko also looked over.

Their expressions varied; some were hesitant, while others were as hesitant and conflicted as he was, but their eyes all showed expectation for his answer.

“…Did March suggest you run the Classic Triple Crown?”

In the end, Kitahara did not give a direct answer.

"That's great. It seems like she really cares about you. Little Kurimao, you are indeed more suitable for the Triple Crown route."

"Then I'll have to think about it carefully."

"It just so happens that you are all tired from the competitions and training during this period, so take a few days off first."

"These few days, I...I will think about it seriously and tell you the arrangements later."

Kitahara said he was considering it, and called Kyoko early the next morning, asking her to pay more attention to the situation of Fujimasa March and Shibasaki, and then left the campus directly without looking for Oguruma and the others.

He knew it was a bit of a cop-out, but it did take him a moment to convince himself.

Convince yourself that you have to accept that the horse girls under your name will still lose, especially when they are facing each other.

He felt as if he was just like an old father who had several outstanding daughters. They were all excellent, but they had to compete in the same competition.

There is a saying that goes, the palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, and he doesn't know how to face the loss, or even the multiple losses that will come.

...It's a headache. Should we arrange their matches separately? It can't always be like this.

For example, there is more than one outpost for the Gaoyue Sho, and you can participate in the Yayoi Sho, Spring Sho, Wakaba Sho, etc., which can be separated, but...

There is only one Gaoyue Sho, Japan Derby and Kikuka Sho, and for Uma Musume, it only happens once in a lifetime, so how can these competitions be separated?

Moreover, they are capable of participating in events such as the Spring and Autumn Emperor's Prize, Osaka Cup, Takarazuka Kinen, Arima Kinen, etc. We can't separate them all.

Headache……

Think of a solution slowly. At least you have to convince yourself to accept this matter first...

With a headache, Kitahara wanted to find someone to talk to, and he soon thought of his uncle Rokuhei Ginjiro.

My uncle should have had this kind of experience...

After thinking about it, he decided to find some time to call his uncle.

However, as if they had telepathic connection, that day, Rokuhei Ginjiro called first via video.

"Hey, uncle... Hey? What's going on over there?"

Seeing the situation in the video, Kitahara was stunned.

In the video, Ginjiro Rokuhei is dressed for vacation, wearing a fishing hat, a colorful Hawaiian shirt, and big shorts. He is holding a cane in his hand and wearing colorful striped sunglasses on his face.

Behind him was a sofa with a lot of clothes scattered all over it. It looked like he was sorting out the house, or... preparing for a vacation?
Kitahara was puzzled for a moment, but soon noticed something that surprised him.

Behind the sofa stood a horse girl with long platinum-blond hair and stunning looks.

In an instant, Kitahara realized that it was the Golden City.

Why is she at her uncle's side... Oh, by the way, she is her uncle's horse girl...

Kitahara suddenly understood.

Huang Jincheng can be said to be the one with the most outstanding appearance and temperament among all the horse girls.

Her rare chestnut-haired bloodline gives her long hair that shines like platinum, and her appearance seems to be carefully carved by an ancient Greek sculptor. Every line of her facial features is in golden proportion, making people unable to look away after taking one look.

Her temperament is also very unique, and independent and aloof is the most appropriate description. At this moment, Akikawa Yayoi is still indignant, but she is completely unaware of it. She is holding a medical magazine and combing her smooth hair casually.

…Hmm, she looks very quiet, not like the troubled horse girl as rumored…

Beiyuan pondered secretly.

Due to the confidentiality principle of the URA Association, he did not find out much information about his uncle's training of Huang Jincheng. However, there were many reports about Huang Jincheng, who was the most famous model in Japan.

In those reports, the model received unanimous praise. This horse racing girl has a natural sense of the camera and expression and posture management, and any photo she takes is exquisite enough to be used as a poster.

But the reviews of the competition were mixed.

"Easy and comfortable", "has a unique running style, tactics and even game selection", these are the best comments.

A more euphemistic way of expressing the truth is "unruly".

Huang Jincheng has an extremely outstanding talent for competition. Her leg strength may not be as good as those monsters like Oguruma and Inari, but her straight-line sprinting skills are unique. However, she seems to be one of the very few horse racing girls who doesn't pay much attention to the competition. Compared to the fierce competition, she seems to prefer a relaxed life.

For example, casually taking photos for magazine covers, living a leisurely and slow-paced life, traveling around when you feel like it, etc.

But, it's so strange, Huang Jincheng...shouldn't he be reading fashion magazines? Why is he reading medical magazines...

I don’t understand…

She is also a horse girl with many problems. It is hard for her uncle...

"Okay, you look pretty energetic, I feel relieved."

As if noticing Kitahara's gaze, Rokuhei Ginjiro greeted him and waved behind him.

"Let me introduce you first. This is my current horse girl, Huang Jincheng. She... ahem, Acheng."

Huang Jincheng didn't come over. He stood behind the sofa, reading a magazine and combing his long hair.

Hearing this, she raised her head slightly, curled the corners of her mouth, raised her hand, put her index and middle fingers together, placed them on her temples, and raised them slightly.

"Yo."

This counts as a greeting, at least that's what she seemed to think.

Then she started reading magazines and cutting her hair again.

"Ah, Ah Cheng...you...ah..."

Rokuhei Ginjiro suddenly felt embarrassed and obviously felt a little embarrassed in front of his nephew.

Kitahara held back his laughter and comforted his uncle.

"It's okay, Uncle Six, it's okay. A horse girl with the word 'gold' in her name has a unique personality. I understand, I understand."

I always feel that the word "gold" in the name always causes some trouble in unexpected places...

Especially those from the "Golden Family"...

Right, Golden Journey, Dream Journey, Golden Master, Golden Ship, Zhongshan Celebration...

Perhaps Kitahara's comfort had some effect, Rokuhei Ginjiro coughed twice and started talking about other things.

"...Ahem, anyway, you and Ah Cheng are acquainted now. When you come to the central government later, you can ask her for help if you need anything."

Beiyuan was stunned.

"Ask her for help? What about you, uncle? You won't be at the Central later?"

Rokuhei Ginjiro has nothing to hide.

“I plan to go to America.”

After saying this, his expression became amiable, and the emotion in his tone was obvious.

"You...are becoming more outstanding. I can now give an explanation to your parents."

Kitahara was silent for a moment.

His parents died long ago, and it was his uncle Rokuhei Ginjiro who raised him.

Although this uncle spent a lot of time in Tokyo and seldom returned to Kasamatsu, Kitahara knew very well that it was his uncle who had been worrying about him during the time when he was in a daze, silently sending him living expenses, and trying every means to get him into Kasamatsu Tresen College.

Not only before, he now understands that the last time he came to Tokyo, everything went so smoothly, he was taken care of by Surukawa Tezuna, he was able to take over the super small bay, including Miyamura Kyoko, Komiyama, Yusuhara and others who were able to go to Kasamatsu, in fact, it all had a lot to do with his uncle's connections and face.

This might also be the reason why I can meet Akikawa Yayoi right now.

No matter how good he is, he is just a local trainer. If he didn't have his uncle, perhaps famous and powerful people like Kokubo Ren and Akikawa Yayoi would appreciate him, but how could they trust and support him so much?

"……uncle……"

His voice suddenly choked.

"What's going on here? I'm not retiring or not coming back. I'm just going to America! My status as a central trainer hasn't been revoked! You're acting like you've done something to me!"

Rokuhei Ginjiro was a little angry and amused at once, but in a flash, the wrinkles on his face turned kind.

“You’re outstanding.”

He repeated in a deep voice.

"And I'm not old yet. As your uncle, I also need to make progress." "Since you've come to the Central Committee and have outstanding capabilities, there's not much I can worry about."

"I heard from Brother Gu Jiu that when he was talking to Xiao Jingzi on the phone, Xiao Jingzi said, 'Your dream is the world, right?'"

"Then I will go explore the way for you and see how Europe and America are better than us."

"I don't believe that we, uncle and nephew, will ever be as good as them."

Kitahara then understood Rokuhei Ginjiro's intention and was instantly moved.

"Uncle, I..."

"Alright, alright, stop being so fussy."

Suddenly becoming a little rude, Rokuhei Ginjiro waved his cane and pondered again.

"Just tell you the whole thing."

"I have actually encountered a bottleneck now, I mean in terms of training level."

He looked with regret and self-blame at Huang Jincheng who was silently flipping through a magazine on the other side.

"It is for this reason that Acheng could have achieved better results, but now only has 3 wins. It's all my fault."

"So half a year ago, I had the idea of ​​going to the United States or Europe for further studies."

"It just so happened that I met you when I went back to Kasamatsu that time. I was relieved to see that you had grown up and become so outstanding."

He suddenly looked serious, "Besides, you have been making such progress. If I don't work hard and let you, a stinky boy, surpass me, what will happen?"

Kitahara didn't know how to respond, so he just smiled.

Rokuhei Ginjiro continued:
"It just so happens that I contacted one of my former teachers, Mr. Edmond from the United States. He is interested in taking Uma Musume to participate in the Japan Cup in the next two years."

"I thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to go over and learn from him and see how he prepares for the battle."

Kitahara thought about it.

"Uncle, you are secretly investigating your competitors. Mr. Edmond wants to take Uma Musume to participate in the Japan Cup. Will he agree to this?"

A wry smile suddenly appeared on Rokuhei Ginjiro's face.

"Don't say I just wanted to learn. Even if I really went to investigate my competitors..."

He was silent for a moment.

“Will people care?”

Kitahara also fell silent.

Europe and the United States really look down on the Japanese horse racing girls industry.

The most straightforward example is the Japan Cup. Ever since Ludo won the Japan Cup, no Japanese horse girl has won this title until now.

"...It seems like people really don't care..." Kitahara also smiled bitterly.

"Alas, that's the truth. In the face of absolute strength, small moves are meaningless."

With a sigh, Rokuhei Ginjiro looked cheered up again.

"But it doesn't matter. We won't be this weak forever. Since we need to become stronger and since someone needs to do this, then I will do it."

He cheered up even more. "And after knowing that I was planning to go to the United States, Mr. Edmond also helped me find a horse girl in advance."

"Oh? In that case, it will indeed benefit you a lot, uncle. The difference between training in person and watching is very big."

Kitahara also became excited and a little curious.

"Is she an outstanding horse racing girl? If it was recommended by Mr. Edmond."

Rokuhei Ginjiro pondered for a moment.

“I choose to believe my teacher.”

He first said something ambiguous, then his tone became serious.

"According to the teacher, this horse girl is not valued at the moment."

"The American URA Association's evaluation is that her bloodline is very ordinary, her physique is very weak, her body is thin, and her leg structure is somewhat congenitally deficient."

"Anyway, she's almost old enough to attend Central Teresin Academy in the U.S., but still no trainers are taking her seriously."

“It’s just that I trust my teacher.”

he repeated.

"Teacher Edmond said that she has an extremely outstanding talent. Her bloodline, physique, legs, etc. are not a problem at all. As long as she is carefully cared for, she will be able to surprise the world."

Kitahara pondered.

...of ordinary descent, thin body, and congenitally deficient leg structure...

It's very similar to Oguruma. I feel like in Uma Musume, those with innate debuffs are all outrageous monsters...

Could this be the case too? I feel like my uncle's description of this horse girl sounds familiar...

In the beginning, no one was optimistic about the United States...

"Oh, I forgot to tell you her name."

At this time, Rokuhei Ginjiro slapped his forehead.

"Her name is Sunday Serenity."

"Fuck!!!"

Kitahara cursed so loudly that Rokuhei Ginjiro staggered.

"Sorry, sorry, I lost my composure, I'm sorry..."

Kitahara apologized desperately and somewhat inappropriately, forcing himself to suppress the shock in his heart.

Why the hell didn’t I react just now? Given my uncle’s description, and considering this was in America, he must be “Big Daddy”!

Sunday tranquility, nicknamed "Big Daddy".

In terms of record, he won 14 championships and 9 runner-ups in 5 overseas games, and never fell out of the top two in his life.

This is not the most impressive "achievement".

The most impressive "achievement" of the prototype horse is the quantity and quality of its offspring.

He fathered 1526 offspring in his career.

Well-known ones include Miracle at Fuji, Beautiful Sunday, Golden Journey, Silent Suzuka, Special Week, Adoring Orihime, Sky Shrine, Manchester City Tea House, Desert Hero, and Airi Hayako.

The most famous one is the Big Shock.

A big shock, 14 wins and 12 runner-up in 1 games, three championships without a loss, seven G1 wins, hall of fame, known as the crystallization of the Japanese horse racing world.

That’s not all, Ningjing’s grandchildren were equally powerful on Sunday.

Satomi Hikari, Northern Black Horse, Enchanting Scenery, Eye-catching Eagle, Yamato Akagi...any one of them is a well-known strongman in the horse racing world.

For example, Northern Black is also a hall of fame horse that has won seven G1 crowns.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ning Jing's "record" on Sunday is unprecedented and will never be repeated. Coupled with the northern flavor, these two horses have created most of the Japanese horse racing world.

In the past 20 years of horse racing, almost any way you look up the family tree, you can see Sunday Tranquility and Northern Flavor.

...It's actually a quiet Sunday...

I envy my uncle's luck. The teacher just pushed and got such a legendary horse...

Oh no, it’s such a legendary horse girl…

I don’t understand, I’m shocked.

When he thought of this, Beiyuan was suddenly stunned.

Wait, if Zhou Ri Ning Jing is a horse racing girl in this world, how is her "record" reflected?

Could it be similar to Northern Flavor… No, like Akikawa Yayoi, who later became the chairman of Central Tresen College?
It is very possible...

If that's the case, I have to try my best to persuade my uncle to bring Zhou Ri Ning Jing back... ahem, I mean, please bring her back.

After all, no matter how her "record" shows up, she must be an extremely important horse racing girl in the Japanese horse racing girl world. Without her, there will probably be many problems in the future.

Well, I have to persuade my uncle to abduct... ahem, bring back Sunday tranquility.

With his belief made up, Kitahara was about to speak when Rokuhei Ginjiro had already recovered from the shock.

"You little brat... Never mind. I can't hit you right now. I'll deal with you when I come back."

Rokuhei Ginjiro slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, that's what happened."

"In a few days, I will be leaving for the United States."

"I still say that. If you need anything after you come to the Central Committee, just look for Ah Cheng. I asked her, and she doesn't plan to go abroad with me."

After saying this, Rokuhei Ginjiro hung up the phone.

Only then did Kitahara realize that he was so surprised by his uncle's going abroad and the tranquility on Sunday that he forgot his original purpose.

He planned to ask his uncle what to do if the horse girls under his name had to compete.

But it was also two things he learned from the video that suddenly made him realize something.

In a sense, the current generation is not the most brilliant era in the world of Japanese horse racing girls, or it can be said that it is the beginning of the rise of Japanese horse racing girls and their march towards the world. The period of flourishing and exciting competition actually came after the Sunday Quiet Generation.

In other words, by that time, it would be almost normal for the horse girls under one's name to compete with each other, so there was no need for one to worry too much about it.

At least don't delay it too much, otherwise it will just be a waste of time.

And instead of worrying about it, Kitahara felt that he had more important things to do.

He plans to take a bus to Nagoya.

According to the arrangements made during the last communication with Tomomi Konan, this pragmatic business woman has gradually completed various preliminary plans. Her regular communications with Kitahara during this period show that she has completed the registration of the company, and that there is sufficient funding for the opening of production lines for weight-bearing equipment, parachutes, etc. She is currently lobbying some banks in Nagoya to prepare for the opening of a new round of production lines.

If it were any other industry, Beiyuan would not agree to open too many production lines in a short period of time, as this would lead to an unstable capital chain.

However, Kitahara approves of the second part of the production line that Tomomi Konan is working on.

That is the production of dolls, posters, pendants, figures and other peripheral products of Ogururo, Super Cove and Shining Glory. Super Cove and Shining Glory do not have many fans now, but Ogururo is a hot star in the entire Nagoya area. As long as the sales method is appropriate, there is no need to worry about the sales of the three series of products.

Tomomi Konan also mentioned on the phone that the peripheral production lines have not yet been laid out and the capital investment has not yet been negotiated, but many department stores, toy stores, amusement parks, and video game stores have contacted her, hoping to obtain the distribution rights for the peripheral products of the Oguri hat series.

Kitahara was naturally very happy with such smooth development. Now that the training and competition had just come to an end, he planned to go to Nagoya to see the situation.

This was originally a somewhat temporary decision, but on the way to Nagoya, he calmed down and recalled many business cases. He came up with a new idea and planned to talk to Tomomi Konan about it.

The meeting place was a very ordinary office building. Tomomi Konan rented this place as a place to do business. After she arranged all the affairs on Kasamatsu's side, she planned to follow Kitahara, Oguruma and others to Tokyo to start business.

"Sorry, Kitahara, this place is a bit messy."

In a utility room filled with copy paper and packaging bags, Xiaonan Zhimei apologized with a wry smile, "This is also a temporary place to stay. In order to receive guests, the office outside is decorated very beautifully, but it is not suitable for us to talk. I am sorry to have you come here."

Before entering the utility room, Kitahara saw the office that Xiaonan Zhimei mentioned. It was bright and clean, and the furniture such as tables, chairs, tea sets, and potted plants were not luxurious, but decent enough.

"It's okay. I've seen many businessmen on TV say that they need to pay attention to face issues."

He almost talked about how he used to be the general manager, but luckily he changed his words in time.

"Sister Xiaonan did nothing wrong, and based on what you just said, you didn't treat me as an outsider. I'm honored."

Xiao Nan Zhi Mei smiled, "I knew you would understand, Kitahara."

Then she continued, "So are you here to learn about the progress of the work? Or do you want to join me in some negotiations to gain some experience?"

"My idea is that you have shares in this company and you are also a shareholder. Maybe you are very talented in business, but it is best to take the time to get in touch with these."

...I really don't need to, I've seen it a lot in business situations.

Kitahara smiled secretly but did not respond.

He is now indeed one of the shareholders of the registered "Hewan Enterprise", and his shares are his usual salary, bonus and part of the dry shares.

This is the conventional way of dividing shares in the horse racing girl industry. Business personnel can either invest capital or technology, and trainers can not only adapt to this method, but their identity can be regarded as a kind of technology. Of course, how much shares this technology is worth depends on the performance of the horse racing girl at the time of investment.

Kitahara talked about what he thought about on the way to Nagoya.

"Sister Xiaonan, do you think these comics have any commercial value?"

He handed over a few pieces of paper with sticky drawings he had made on the way, including "Mothra", "Tamamo Ghidorah", "Super Mothra" and "Inahon".

That is, the "cute monsters" are drawn based on the four of Oguruma and the other two, combined with the four classic monsters of "Godzilla".

"Huh? This is..."

After taking the picture and taking a look at it, Xiao Nan Tomomi burst out laughing and said, "Aren't these Oguruma and the others? They are so cute. Did Mr. Kitahara draw them himself?"

"Well, I just thought of it and drew it casually."

Unceremoniously claiming the image of another world as his own, Kitahara smiled and said, "They all like the Godzilla series of movies very much, so I thought, can we cooperate with the Godzilla copyright company to launch this 'cute monster' series."

Xiaonan Zhimei's eyes lit up.

"Indeed! Godzilla is the hottest IP right now, and so is Uma Musume. If it's just an idea to combine the two IPs, it may not be anything new, because someone has done it before."

"But Mr. Kitahara has even brought out the original drawings, so perhaps we can indeed submit our work to Xizhen Co., Ltd."

In this world, the "Godzilla" series includes many classic film and television images, and the copyrights are all held by Nishi-Horozaka Film Co., Ltd.

There is a prototype in another world that is comparable to Xizhen Company. Bei Yuan had looked up relevant information before. Seeing that Xiaonan Zhimei agreed with his idea, he told her his specific plan.

"I think this 'cute monster' series should have good commercial value."

"Godzilla movies were originally intended for children, but in recent years the plots have become more and more adult-oriented. In an official interview with the Xizhen Company, they also mentioned that they are looking for some breakthroughs, hoping to stabilize the youth and even toddler market again."

"Coincidentally, Uma Musume naturally has a strong affinity, so the combination of the two may have extremely outstanding commercial results."

"The benefits of this part of the results are secondary, or rather, secondary to me. What I really want is..."

After a pause, the images of Oguruma and the small bay appeared in his mind, and Kitahara said softly:
"I hope that through this method, Oguruma and the others can also accumulate a large number of fans outside of the competition, so that they can participate in the competitions they want to participate in as much as they want..."

…no matter what happens, win or lose…

Kitahara added silently in his heart.

Tomomi Konan agreed with Kitahara's words.

"Yes, that's right. If we want to develop smoothly here, it all comes down to the outstanding performance of Oguruma and the others."

"If you want to perform, you have to participate in competitions, and the competitions have a certain number of fans. If there are films and TV shows with them or elements of them, many things will be much easier."

She smiled with admiration in her eyes, "Maybe it's because I'm not a trainer. I never thought of this. It seems that only a genius like Kitahara who is both a trainer and has enough business talent can think of this method."

"The trainers and horse girls of this year and even the past few years are in danger. Mr. Kitahara's arrangement has virtually reduced many obstacles for his horse girls outside the arena."

Kitahara smiled, without any complacency.

"If Sister Xiaonan fully agrees, I think we can get started on this," he thought.
"The first thing is to register the image with the URA Association. The 'cute monsters' based on the images of Oguruma and the others should be protected by the association. As long as they are not used for commercial purposes, URA will support us."

"The second thing is to negotiate with Xizhen Company. With the support of URA Association, our negotiations will go more smoothly."

"Finally, as for the specific content, I have a rough plan here."

After thinking for a while, Kitahara said, "I suggest that 'cute monsters' should not be filmed in the original style of the Godzilla series, but in a daily, relaxed, and funny way. At the beginning, we can launch a four-frame comic or a few minutes of instant noodle show, and then consider making a big movie."

"I have some general ideas, and I can write the copy later. Sister Xiaonan, please work harder and find some freshly graduated art students. They are capable enough and the price is not high. Let them draw the draft and then buy it out."

"We took the finished product to negotiate with Xizhen Company and even the URA Association."

Kitahara is not short of materials. In the other world, there are a large number of secondary creations about Uma Musume, as well as official four-frame comics. Just putting together a dozen or dozens of chapters would be a complete planning proposal, which is enough as the content of the preliminary negotiations.

When he thought of the official original, he suddenly had a bold idea.

"By the way, Sister Xiaonan can also get in touch with those art students or newcomers in the comics industry."

“Perhaps, I will have new ideas about animation in the future… or even more ideas about the two-dimensional industry.”

...If, I mean if.

If I launch the Uma Musume mobile game and the first, second, and third seasons of the anime in the Uma Musume world, I wonder if anyone can cope with it and how they should cope with it?
Kitahara almost lost his voice at the thought.

Because in another world, the "Uma Musume" mobile game and anime are so lucrative and influential.

When the mobile game was first launched, it was said to have generated $1.3 million in revenue in one month, directly achieving the official revenue target for the second half of the year.

As of March 23, the global revenue has exceeded 3 billion US dollars.

Equivalent to 3000 billion yen.

Equivalent to the total bounty of 300 Little Chestnut Hats.

The reason why he compared her with Ogurume was because Kitahara made it clear from the beginning that he was not and could not rely solely on the prize money from Ogurume and the others' competitions to train and recuperate.

He targeted capital from the beginning.

In his opinion, this is the best support that can bring continuous development opportunities to the world of Uma Musume, and it is also the best way to realize his dream.

He knew very well that if one wanted to train an outstanding horse girl, talent was certainly important, but in a sense resources were more important.

In "On Horses", it is mentioned that "if you don't whip it properly, you can't feed it to its full potential, and if you make it neigh, you can't understand its intention." In fact, "using the right way", "making full use of its potential" and "understanding its intention" all require resources.

Or to put it more simply, every horse racing girl has the potential to be a thousand-mile horse, and "a thousand-mile horse can eat up a stone of millet in one go." That "stone of millet" is the resource.

In fact, he had calculated the amount of food that Oguruma and Xiaohaiwan ate, and he also understood the pressure on Kasamatsu Canteen. He knew very well that if he had not later suggested to Xiaonan Tomomi to provide more funding, the canteen would have closed down long ago, even with the support of the academy.

Animation does not have as obvious revenue benefits as mobile games, but its hidden income is even more exaggerated.

Take the second season of "Uma Musume" as an example. Once the drama, which topped the charts on major platforms, was broadcast, all official endorsements involving Uma Musume increased several times or even dozens of times.

Kitahara can well imagine what kind of horrific profits the launch of these two "killer weapons" will bring to him in Japan, which is supposed to produce the "Uma Musume" mobile game and animation series.

However, he quickly calmed down, because he knew that there was still a long way to go to reach that step. What he had to do now was to train Oguruma and the others well. This was his real responsibility as a trainer.

As for business matters such as mobile games and animation, it would be better to leave it to Xiaonan Zhimei according to our previous idea.

As for the art student mentioned by Kitahara, Tomomi Konan had no objection.

The two quickly discussed the details of the "cute monster" project that they had thought of on the spur of the moment. Kitahara also spent some time sorting out some of the official four-frame comics and secondary comics of Umamusume that left a deep impression on him, and handed them over to Tomomi Konan.

Considering that Tomomi Konan still had things to do, Kitahara left the office building after resigning, planning to find a place to eat and then return to Kasamatsu.

After randomly finding a izakaya and ordering the food, Kitahara received an unexpected call while waiting for the food to be served.

The Golden City.

...Last time in the Central Treson office, I felt that this horse girl was a bit aloof. Why would she take the initiative to call me?

After a moment of surprise, Beiyuan quickly answered the phone.

"Hello? Beiyuan?" Huang Jincheng took the initiative to speak. His tone was not very enthusiastic, but the address was very intimate.

"Ah... Ms. Huang Jincheng, hello..." After hesitating for a moment, Kitahara wanted to be polite.

"Just call me Ah Cheng. I have been taken care of by my sixth uncle these past few years. You don't have to be so polite."

Huang Jincheng spoke in a casual tone, and then she seemed to want to say something, but yawned first.

"H-ah... Sorry, I just woke up and I'm still a little sleepy. Sorry for making fun of me."

Hearing this, Kitahara smiled bitterly.

...Like in another world, I like to sleep in...

...Also, from the reports I read before, there seemed to be rumors that she liked to sleep in...

Generally speaking, horse girls' training starts in the morning. Some, like Oguruma, who are self-conscious and sensible, will get up at 4 or 5 in the morning to go running.

As for Huang Jincheng, she doesn't seem to like sharing the track with other horse girls. According to her own words, she will lose motivation if she runs with other horse girls.

Therefore, she usually does not appear on the training ground until 10 o'clock in the morning when the sun has fully risen, which happens to be the time when most horse girls are resting.

Before 10 o'clock, she would naturally take a nap.

Uncle, thank you for taking care of Uma Musume with such problems...

Beiyuan was speechless, and Huangjincheng yawned again.

"H-ah...I need to tell you something, Kitahara."

Although she still looked very sleepy, her tone became serious.

"Uncle Six has already left Japan by plane."

"Before he left, he asked me to give you a copy of the Central Tresen Assessment Interview Materials. I asked a junior to deliver it to you. You should be able to receive it tonight or tomorrow morning."

"My uncle has already left by plane?" Bei Yuan was surprised by this. "Why didn't he tell me? I wanted to send him on the plane."

Huang Jincheng seemed to shrug his shoulders, and his tone was very casual.

"He doesn't like separation. I wanted to send him off, but he refused."

Beiyuan nodded helplessly, "Well, uncle... is indeed that kind of person."

Then he asked about another thing he just mentioned, "What interview materials? I mean, the ones you sent over, Acheng."

There was silence from Golden City.

"Do you have anyone else over there?" she asked casually.

...Could it be something very important?

With a startle in his heart, he looked around and felt that there were quite a few people in this izakaya. Kitahara signaled the boss to help him keep an eye on the seat, paid in advance, walked outside the store and found a secluded place.

"It's gone now, go ahead." He only then realized that there was a lot of silence on the other end of the phone, and Huang Jincheng had obviously found a secluded place.

"Yes, these are the materials used in the URA Association interviews in previous years."

Huang Jincheng's tone was still casual. "In other words, this is the test question for this interview."

Kitahara was stunned.

The URA Association’s central trainer assessment does have an interview, which takes place a few days after the second round results are released.

Generally speaking, the results of the first and second rounds are confidential. Whether you can pass depends entirely on the notification of the association. After passing, there will be an interview. However, according to rumors outside, that interview is not important. Basically, after passing the first two rounds, the interview is just a formality.

Now it seems that it is not the case...

After hesitating for a moment, Kitahara frowned slightly.

"Is there something...strange about this interview?" he probed, trying to use more neutral terms.

"It can't be said to be strange..."

Huang Jincheng muttered thoughtfully, then denied himself, "Oh no, it should be a little strange."

"Anyway, I don't understand why those old-timers in the URA Association are so old-fashioned, and I don't think you understand it either."

"Well, during the interview, you'd better answer according to the standard answers your uncle has compiled for you."

"Your uncle has arranged everything for you. According to his original words, if it were you, with your current ambitions, perspectives, and achievements, if you were to speak honestly to those old-fashioned people during the interview process, some of the old guys who are just sitting there doing nothing would think you are aiming too high."

"There have been trainers who passed the first two rounds of the exam but were ultimately eliminated in the interview."

"You better be careful and memorize the information."

Only then did Beiyuan understand the intentions of his uncle and Huang Jincheng.

"I see. Indeed, if it were my own idea, I would probably tell the interviewer everything about my future plans, but that kind of idea..."

Thinking about his plan to change the world of horse girls, develop the world's most advanced training system, and allow all horse girls to run without worries, and thinking about the current situation in Japan, Kitahara easily realized that he really couldn't say that to the interviewer.

Those dreams are not only too far away from the current Japan, too far away from those interviewers, but also too far away from myself.

"alright, I got it."

Even though they were not across from the Golden City, Beiyuan still nodded involuntarily, "Once I get the information, I will memorize it carefully."

"Well, Uncle Six said that you have been training your physical fitness, so memorizing the text won't be a problem, so I don't have to worry too much."

Huang Jincheng also seemed to nod, "As for getting the information... In principle, this information should not appear in your hands, but when you officially become a trainer, it is natural for you to have that information..."

"You... understand what I mean?"

...Uh, this is actually against the rules...

Kitahara's mood suddenly became complicated, and he felt more touched.

As a central trainer, Rokuhei Ginjiro must have known that the information could not be given to other people, but he got it anyway. I don't know how much risk he took.

The same goes for Huang Jincheng. As a horse girl, she obviously didn't have to get involved in this matter, but she still delivered it as requested by Rokuhei Ginjiro. Perhaps it was more because of her uncle, but it was also not without her recognition of him.

"……I see."

Beiyuan said solemnly: "I will prepare seriously. When I arrive at the center, please allow me to thank you, Acheng."

"No need to thank me."

Huang Jincheng's answer was very casual, "If you really want to thank me, you can just help take care of my junior after he goes to Kasamatsu."

"Let me know the fees and I'll transfer them to you."

"How can I let you spend any more money? Leave everything to me."

After rejecting Huang Jincheng outright, Kitahara became curious again, "By the way, can you please tell me which horse girl your junior is?"

"Oh, Sakura Chiyo-oh, you should have heard of it."

Huang Jincheng was silent for a moment after uttering a name casually.

"I happen to be going to the hospital to see her sister right now. That's it for now. Bye."

It was a long time after the call was hung up before Kitahara came back to his senses.

...Why is it Sakura Chiyoou...

Moreover, her sister...

It should be the Sakura Star King...

Kitahara fell silent.

He first sighed for the Sakura Star King.

In another world, Sakura Star King had 7 wins in 4 races, was suspended once, won two titles in the 1-year-old classic race, Gaoyue Sho and Kikuka Sho, and was the representative horse of the year in 4.

Logically speaking, with such achievements, the Sakura Star King should have blossomed even more brilliantly in the following Year of the Horse. However, just as the "short-lived" meaning of "sakura" is common in Japan, the Sakura Star King's competition career came to an end at the Arima Memorial on December 12.

After passing the third turn of the second lap, due to a small pothole, Sakura Star King's left anterior ligament was torn and the first finger joint was dislocated. Even after half a year of treatment, Sakura Star King finally went to another world.

In the original Uma Musume work, Sakura Star King had not yet entered the planning, but in this world, a horse girl named Sakura Star King undoubtedly exists.

The horse girl that Huang Jincheng is going to the hospital to see should be Sakura Star King.

These two horse girls presented extremely exciting matches to all fans last year.

In the Gaoyue Sho and the Kikuka Sho, Huang Jincheng lost to Sakura Star King twice, once by a head and once by 1/2 length. Before these two competitions, all the spectators were not optimistic about the notoriously willful Huang Jincheng, but they did not expect that she would be able to have such a fierce confrontation with the Yayoi Sho and Gaoyue Sho champion Sakura Star King.

...Perhaps Huang Jincheng just wanted to compete with his friend and rival? That's why he had no interest in other events?
Kitahara could only think so, because Huang Jincheng behaved like that, especially during the Arima Memorial last year, when an accident occurred in the Sakura Star King as if it were from another world. Since then, Huang Jincheng has never participated in a game again until now.

...Oh, by the way, no wonder Huang Jincheng looked at me when we met in the chairman's office of Central College last time...

It's a medical journal...

After lamenting for a long time about what happened to Sakura Star King and the friendship between Huang Jincheng and her, Kitahara returned to the izakaya, had his meal, and returned to Kasamatsu.

Before going to Nagoya, he had already told Oguruma and the others that he had some things to do today and let them go and have fun on their own. So after returning to the academy, he did not rush to find them, but went to the academy's message room.

He wanted to ask whether the information commissioned by Golden City had been delivered, and by the way, he wanted to remind Sakura Chiyo who came to deliver the things.

As a member of the Sakura family, Sakura Star King was indeed very unfortunate. In addition to retiring due to a foot injury and dying, he also suffered from fasciitis in the early stages of his career.

Sakura Chiyoou also had a similarly unfortunate fate.

If her fate was the same as in another world, Sakura Chiyo would have won the Japanese Derby. However, after winning the honor of this once-in-a-lifetime challenge, she would have suffered from tendinitis, which is a terminal illness for horse girls, and would never be able to shine on the field again.

Kitahara knew that his abilities were limited. He knew about the Sakura Star King's affairs when he watched the game years ago, but he had no ability to change it, at least not now.

But Sakura Chiyoou has not yet participated in the Japanese Derby, so doing something now, such as giving a reminder and asking Kyoko to help check the situation, may help avoid some future misfortunes.

Changing the unfortunate fate of the horse racing ladies and giving them a better world should not start from the future...

With this thought in mind, Beiyuan came to the school's message room.

Then he froze.

"Oh, Kitahara, you're here. I just happened to be talking about you."

Xiao Limao and Xiao Haiwan were both in the reception room. Xiao Limao was the one who spoke, "We just met a new friend. She said she has something to give you."

There was also a horse racing girl in the reception room.

She has short cherry-red hair and long, small, pointed ears that look more like a pair of ox horns than horse ears. Next to her right ear are two cherry blossoms, one light cherry and one red cherry.

The tail is very long, and it seems that when it stands up, the tip of the tail can drag on the ground.

A red and white sports suit, which is the school uniform of Central Tresen College.

She had a lively look, her blue pupils were full of energy and vitality, and she was smiling brightly as she chatted with Xiao Wan.

After hearing what Oguruma said, the horse girl twitched her ears and stood up quickly.

"Hello! Mr. Kitahara! My name is Sakura Chiyo! I'm here to deliver something on behalf of Senior Huang Jincheng!"

After bowing deeply, Sakura Chiyo took out a package from behind his back and handed it over with both hands.

"...Oh, oh, thank you for your hard work."

Kitahara hadn't expected to run into a group like Oguruma, Kobayashi, and Sakura Chiyoou, and was stunned for a moment before smiling as he took the package and looked the horse girl up and down.

Only then did he realize that Sakura Chiyo's sportswear was covered in dust, and there were traces of sweat on his forehead and cheeks, obviously he had just run.

"Hey? Did you go jogging just now?" Kitahara was a little surprised.

"Hmm? No," answered Little Chestnut Hat, she said blankly:
"Little Bay and I were just on the road when we happened to meet Chiyo-sama asking for directions. We heard that she was coming to Kasamatsu and was looking for you, so the two of us brought her back."

"What's wrong, Kitahara?"

Xiao Haiwan also nodded in agreement and looked over with confusion.

"Well...if you haven't run before..."

Kitahara took a look at the clothes of Ogurumao and Xiaowan, and saw that they were all wearing casual clothes and did not look like they had done any exercise, which made him wonder.

"What is this on Prince Chiyo...?" He pointed at Prince Sakura Chiyo's clothes.

“Ah, ah, this…”

Sakura Chiyo, who had a puzzled look on his face just now, suddenly showed an expression of realization and then smiled full of energy.

"Because I came to Kasamatsu from Tokyo."

"Wow... ahem, what?"

Kitahara almost swore, but then he couldn't hold back his complaints and became confused and stunned.

"Wait, you said you ran from Tokyo to Kasamatsu? The distance between the two places is more than 300 kilometers, right? How long did it take you to run?"

Oguruma and the others were all frightened by Kitahara's surprise and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while.

"... Uh, it turns out that Tokyo is 300 kilometers from here."

Xiao Limao scratched his head. "But, is 300 kilometers far?"

Xiaowan had a thoughtful expression.

"300 kilometers should be 30 meters, which is the distance of 100 chrysanthemum appreciation races. If we sprint at full speed, we definitely can't make it."

“But if I keep a normal pace and take breaks, I should be able to run 100 chrysanthemums easily.”

Sakura Chiyo-oh smiled in admiration.

"That's amazing! I was very tired after running 300 kilometers, but it was so easy in Xiaohaiwan. I'm really looking forward to competing with you in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation."

"Ah... no way, I'm just talking now, and Chiyo-sama, you are the one who actually ran 100 Chrysanthemum Appreciation Shows."

"Yes, I remember Chiyo just said that it took her more than 8 hours to run from Tokyo to Kasamatsu, including the rest time."

"Yeah, there are rest stops every few sections of the highway, so you can rest whenever you get tired. Oh, by the way, if Little Chestnut and Little Bay also want to participate in the Classic Triple Crown, can we go run on the highway together when we have time?"

"Oh, that sounds interesting. I can do that."

"Hey, is this okay? Then Mr. Kitahara..."

"no!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Kitahara realized that his tone was a bit harsh, and the three horse girls were also startled.

"Ahem... Sorry, I just got excited, but I don't agree with running on the highway or anything like that."
