Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 148: One Horse Leads the Way, All Other Horses Are Defeat (1w)

Afterwards, he discussed with Shiraishiboshi about the arrangements after arriving in Tokyo. Kitahara initially wanted to rent or even buy a house near the academy.

At present, Hewan Enterprise has invested a lot of money, and the extremely wealthy Miss Fumino Nase has just transferred 10 billion as investment. With such financial support, and arranging accommodation for Oguruma's mother and sister, the team and the company will not have any questions.

White gemstone means there is no need to go through so much trouble.

"It would be nice to be able to live in the dormitory. When I was in the military, I also lived in the dormitory of Tresen College."

The mother smiled gently and patiently explained, "It was still early in the era, and it was a local college, so I felt the dormitory conditions were pretty good."

"Now that the times have changed and I'm at Central Tresen College, I think the dormitory conditions should be better."

"If it's not too much trouble, just arrange for Xiao Xiaoli and I to share a dormitory. This way, it will be easier to take care of the child, and I can also chat with Xiao Xiaoli and her sister more, watch her daily training, and help out, etc."

"When we called this morning, didn't you say, Mr. Kitahara, that she is feeling stressed about the competition? I thought that since I happened to be here, maybe I could help her by chatting with her more."

"Oh, by the way, although I'm a little embarrassed, I still want to say that I will be staying in Tokyo for a long time. If possible, please help me find a suitable job, Mr. Kitahara. If it can be a job that can help you and Xiaolili, that would be even better. I am not afraid of hard work."

Beiyuan agreed to Bai Baozhu's request without hesitation.

As for dormitories, the conditions at Central Tresen are indeed very comfortable. There are basically two people in a room, and they are fully equipped with facilities such as TV, computer, bed, private bathroom and toilet. The dormitory building also has a dedicated laundry room and cleaning staff, and there is a cafeteria for dining. Conditions in all aspects are very complete.

There is no need to trouble school staff such as Shunkawa Tezuna in this regard. The performance of the Eisei team is getting better and better. As the chief trainer, it is no problem for Kitahara to apply for a dormitory alone.

Finding a suitable job is a little troublesome, so you can negotiate with Junchuan Tezuna. With the chairman's secretary's skilled work experience, it will be easy to find a suitable job as long as you ask about Bai Baozhi's living and working habits.

Calling over Oguri Hat who was carrying Oguri Roman around, the group went back to the Central Academy first.

The dormitory and work were quickly arranged, and at the suggestion of Junchuan Tezuna, Bai Baozhi went to the college nutrition department to help, and occasionally went to the cafeteria to assist with the meals.

This is a bit like what happened in Kasamatsu, cooking for Oguruma every day. Shiraishi is very satisfied with this arrangement.

Afterwards, she told Kitahara, Ogurimo, and Oguri Roman that she needed to tidy up the dormitory and adapt to her new job first, and asked Kitahara to take the two children to the college.

Kitahara knew what the mother was thinking, as they had discussed it on the phone this morning. As a mother, she could slowly provide comfort and support to her daughter through daily interactions, and the sooner the better to have a symbolic conversation with Rudo, the better. The so-called visit to the academy meant wearing the Oguruniku hat and chatting with the legendary horse girl about the "Undefeated Triple Crown".

Without wasting any time, after saying goodbye to Shiraishu, Kitahara brought two young Oguri, one big and one small, to the student union office.

"President Luduo, hello, I brought the little chestnut hat... Hey?"

As soon as she entered the door and greeted Luduo, Beiyuan was quickly surprised to see that the usually majestic Emperor President was a little embarrassed at this moment, and the reason for her embarrassment was the little horse girl next to her who was touching and pinching her.

She can't be said to be small. She looks like an authentic girl, probably about 13 or 4 years old. Her long chestnut hair is tied into a high ponytail, and her forehead has a crescent-shaped white bangs that are exactly the same as Luduo's. Her little face is very lively and her expression is full of energy. When she saw Beiyuan coming in, she withdrew her hands from touching and pinching Luduo's symbol, raised one arm high, and greeted him excitedly.

"You are the chief trainer of the Eternal Team, right? Nice to meet you, please take care of me. My name is the Emperor of the East Sea!"

"Hello, I'm Kitahara Joi, and this is Oguri Mao and Oguri Roman." Kitahara responded with a smile, glanced at the somewhat relieved Ludo symbol, and laughed to himself.

Of course I know that you are the Emperor of the East China Sea. You are probably the only one in the entire Uma Musume world who can touch Rudo symbol so unscrupulously.

In another world, the Emperor of the East Sea is the symbolic son of Luduo, and has a legendary experience no less than his father.

He won two championships without a loss and 12 wins in 9 career fights. His most famous fight was of course the victory over Arima Kinen on December 364, 1993, after resting for 12 days due to a fracture. This set the record for the longest G26 victory during a rest period, which has never been broken.

This experience is also the main storyline of the second season of the most famous anime in the entire project. It can be said that the record and the wonderful works have made the Emperor of the East Sea one of the most well-known characters among all Uma Musume.

In this world, the newly-formed Emperor of the East China Sea has not yet made his debut, but judging from the fact that she is so close to the symbol of Luduo, I am afraid that many of her experiences will gradually unfold like in the parallel world.

"...Hey, you're here, Mr. Kitahara."

After a dry cough, Luduo also spoke at this time: "As for Oguri Roman, she should be Oguri Hat's adopted sister, right? I have regular communication with the student union of Kasamatsu College, and I heard that Mrs. White Jewel recognized her as her adopted daughter."

There was a hint of relief in her eyes. She glanced at the Emperor of the East China Sea who was looking at the door curiously beside her, and coughed again.

"Well, that... it just so happens that Roman Oguri is here this time. She should be planning to join Central Tresen College, right? I've read some of her relevant information and I feel she has a good talent."

"Then your Majesty, Oguri Roman will be your junior from now on. Since you are not training right now, you can help Mr. Kitahara show this junior around the campus."

Hearing this, Kitahara felt a little amused.

He guessed that when he was not here just now, the Emperor of the East China Sea was probably always asking questions or chatting with Lu Duoyu. As the president of the Student Union, Lu Duoyu must have a lot of work to do, so he would naturally be affected.

However, as an "old father", what can he say to a child who is so close to him? So when he saw us coming, he probably thought that he finally had a good excuse to get rid of the "naughty child" Emperor of the East China Sea.

He laughed secretly, but there was nothing unusual on the surface. He just looked at the Emperor of the East China Sea with a smile and nodded slightly.

"If Donghaidiwang can help introduce the campus, I would really appreciate it."

After thanking him in advance, he felt something move again and showed an expression as if he had just thought of something.

"Oh, by the way, I heard from Aldan that Mejiro McQueen-san privately praised Donghai Teio-san quite a lot."

"She said that the Emperor of the East Sea may seem lively and frivolous, but he is actually a very enthusiastic student with outstanding abilities."

"If such an outstanding senior can show you around the campus, Roman Oguri will definitely be very happy, right?"

He asked with a smile, then half turned around and looked down at Roman Oguri who was pinching the corner of his and Oguri's hats and clothes behind him.

"Xiao Xiaoli, how about having that sister over there take you out for some fun?"

"Eh... that sister..."

He poked his head out from behind Kitahara and Oguri and timidly glanced at the Emperor of the East Sea. Oguri Roman quickly retracted his body and said in a low voice:

"That sister... well, sister is very beautiful. If we can play together, I, I will be happy too. As long as I don't bother sister..."

On the way here, Kitahara had already explained to Oguri Mao and Oguri Roman that there was an important matter concerning the student union. The two sisters were both good girls, so they just agreed to follow his arrangements.

Seeing that Oguri Roman agreed again, he was about to turn around and ask the East China Sea Emperor what he thought, but a cheerful voice came from the other side.

"Wow~ McQueen, that guy, always against me at school, but he's still very honest when he gets home. It turns out he's such a tsundere!"

He said this proudly, and rushed over, with one hand on his waist and the other hand raised with his thumb pointing at the tip of his nose. He closed his eyes and held his head high, with a very proud look on his face.

"Since McQueen has said so, I will definitely take my junior sister out for a good stroll!"

"Little sister, your name is Roman Oguri, right? Come on, I'll take you to all the fun places in school!"

What Kitahara just said about Mejiro Aldan and Mejiro McQueen were actually all made up, but he was not afraid of being exposed.

In the original work, Mejiro McQueen and the Emperor of the East China Sea are a pair of tsundere lovers who recognize each other's strength, but have always been competing with each other openly and secretly. Under this kind of friendship, it is not difficult for Kitahara to make up the tsundere remarks of one of them.

Judging from the reaction of the Emperor of the East China Sea, even though she and Mejiro McQueen haven't made their debut yet, their daily relationship already has a bit of a rivalry between tsunderes.

"Oh, by the way, Oguri-senpai, I forgot to greet you just now, I'm so sorry!"

After being proud for a while, the Emperor of the East China Sea suddenly put away his smug look and bowed solemnly to Xiao Limao.

"President Luduo said that you are a very good horse girl. I have watched every game you have played since your debut and have learned a lot. If you have time, I hope to practice and run with you!"

Sometimes proud, sometimes serious, the Emperor of the East China Sea's erratic personality was already very obvious. Kitahara, who was familiar with the original work, was able to adapt to it, but Oguruma took a while to react.

"Oh ok, if we can run together, no problem."

She smiled, nodded seriously, and then her expression became somewhat earnest.

"Also, I'm leaving my sister to you. Although I've been enrolled for a few months, I'm still unfamiliar with many places and sometimes get lost. Please take the trouble to introduce Xiao Xiaoli to the academy so that she doesn't get lost like I did."

Kitahara actually had no idea what to do about the fact that Oguruma got lost. As a horse racing girl, she was familiar with every corner of Kasamatsu, but she was not used to big cities.

In her eyes, all the tall buildings seemed to look the same, and so did the campus. It would often happen that after a route or a landmark building was explained to her, she would be able to successfully get back to the starting point after going around it in a circle.

The Emperor of the East China Sea was not aware of Oguruma's situation and was suddenly surprised.

"What? Getting lost on campus, this..."

She obviously wanted to laugh, but in order to save face for her senior, she just pulled the corners of her mouth and held it back.

"Okay! Leave it to me. I will definitely help Xiao Xiaoli recognize the campus. If you have time later, I can always take you around the academy!"

After patting her chest to assure him, she looked at Kitahara, swung her arms back and forth, and made a high-legged gesture, "Then, Chief Kitahara, shall we set off now?"

Seeing that the horse racing girl looked eager to try, she obviously forgot about the Ludo symbol and didn't care about what Oguruma and Ludo symbol wanted to talk about. Kitahara couldn't help but laugh.

Well, he still has the same personality as a child.

Then he nodded and said, "Then everything will be left to you, Emperor of the East Sea."

"Yes, yes, yes! Leave it to me! President, I will definitely complete the task you assign to me successfully! Hehe!"

After patting his chest to assure him again, the Emperor of the East China Sea greeted the symbol Luduo with a smile, and rushed out of the office first. Bei Yuan just smiled secretly and shook his head, and went out of the door holding Oguri Roman behind him, and closed the door casually.

Suddenly, only the chestnut hat and the Ludo symbol were left in the office.

"I've actually been wanting to talk to you for a while, Little Chestnut."

Standing up from behind the desk, Luduo walked to the cabinet in the corner of the room and took out a box of coffee and a box of tea.

"Which would you like to drink, coffee or tea? And the dessert, green rice balls, are all bought by Maruzen from Mejiro Peak and the symbol of Sirius. They are all of very good quality."

Little Chestnut Hat wanted to ask directly about her worries, but Luduo asked it symbolically, so she thought about it for a moment.

"It's all right. I don't really understand those things." She shook her head slightly.

"Then let's drink some green tea. Gao Feng said that green tea and qingtuan taste better together."

He personally made green tea and prepared desserts, then Luduo pondered for a moment.

"You want to ask about the 'Undefeated Triple Crown', right? I heard from Chief Kitahara that you've been feeling the pressure lately?"

"Well, I don't know how Kitahara figured it out, but if it's him, there doesn't seem to be anything strange about it."

He nodded without hesitation. When talking about Kitahara, Oguruma smiled, but then became confused.

"During training a few days ago, I somewhat understood what the Undefeated Triple Crown was. I may not fully understand it, but when Xiaoyu and the others talked about it, they all seemed very excited and said they wanted to beat me."

Unconsciously, her hands hanging at her sides gradually clenched into fists, "It means that such an honor must be very important, otherwise it wouldn't be like this now. I obviously haven't become such a horse girl yet, and my partners are even more motivated."

"and……"

She hesitated for a moment, then looked through the window behind her desk towards the dormitory. Her eyes became warm but also more confused.

"My mom and sister came here, probably to cheer me up. I'm very happy, but also more nervous."

"They came all the way from Kasamatsu to Tokyo to cheer for me. If I didn't win, they... they would definitely be very sad and disappointed."

"I don't want to disappoint them, and I don't want to disappoint Xiaoyu and the others, or more people, or Beiyuan."

Although she was confused, her fists at her sides clenched tighter and tighter.

"I want to win, I don't want to lose, I want my mother, my sister, I want everyone not to be disappointed, I want them to see my victory, so..."

Looking directly at the Ludo symbol, she said firmly:

"You are the undefeated triple crown horse girl. Tell me, what should I do?"

The tea had been brewed and the green rice dumplings were also ready and placed on the coffee table. Luduo did not rush to respond to Xiaolimao's question, but just smiled and pointed to the chairs on both sides of the coffee table.

"Sit down, don't be in a hurry, drink some tea, I will answer your questions seriously."

Xiao Limao was not in a hurry. He nodded silently, sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, blew away the steaming hot air, and slowly sipped it.

At this time, fiddling with the handle of the teacup, Luduo symbolically pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"If it was any other horse girl, I think I would just tell her, Eclipse first, and the rest nowhere, that's what to do."

"Eh, eh...eh what? I don't understand..."

After repeating the English sentence that Luduo had just said, Xiao Limao scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "It should be English, right? I...well, my English can only pass..."

"Oh, it's not enough to just pass."

Luduo smiled gently, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and his eyes focused.

"If it were you, you would go to international competitions sooner or later. Maybe you would go overseas like me and like the symbol of Sirius, and achieve results that surpass ours."

"If you don't speak good English, it will be very troublesome to go abroad."

"Hey? Going abroad?"

Xiao Limao scratched his head again, then smiled, "Then he probably doesn't need to know English very well, because if we go abroad, Kitahara will definitely follow us, and it will be enough for him to speak English."

"...But I can't always rely on my trainer, right...?"

Lu Duo showed a distressed look, then sighed, "But if you say that, to be honest, sometimes I really envy you for having such an outstanding trainer. Back then, I..."

There was a hint of reminiscence in her eyes. "I can't say that my trainer back then was not good. It's just that sometimes, the tactics he arranged for me really didn't suit me, and I had to explain them to him..."

After a slight digression, she quickly returned to the subject.

"Let's talk about English later. I will find time to talk to Chief Kitahara about this matter."

After a pause, she continued, "The English sentence just now means that if one horse takes the lead, all other horses will be blinded."

"One horse leads the way, and all other horses lose their light..."

He repeated it in a whisper, frowning slightly, a little embarrassed, "Well, I still don't quite understand."

"It's okay if you don't understand. I know this, and I've said this to many horse racing girls, and they didn't really understand it either, so I have to explain it to you."

Explaining softly, Ludo symbolically smiled.

"This sentence refers to a senior of ours who lived hundreds of years ago. Her name was Eclipse." "She was the first horse girl among us to receive the gift of God. Hundreds of years ago, she participated in a total of 18 races and won all 18 of them."

"Oh! That's amazing. If that's the case..."

Xiao Limao was surprised, then he stretched out ten fingers, pursed his lips, and moved them back and forth for a while.

"I have won 14 games out of 14, and she has won 4 more games in a row than me. She is really amazing!" She was even more surprised.

The smile on Ludo's symbol became even wider, and his eyes were full of admiration.

"Not only did she have more consecutive wins than you do now, but what was even more powerful was that in her 18 games, no opponent was willing to sign up for 8 games. For 17 consecutive months, no opponent was willing to compete with her."

"And the reason why she retired was precisely because she had no rivals."

"Oguruma, you are indeed outstanding with 14 wins in 14 games, but in terms of strength, you are still far behind that senior. At least, your teammates like Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi, who are on the same team, are better than Yae Invincible, Dido Shooter, Sakura Chiyo and Aotake Yume. They did not back down because of your strength."

Having said this, she looked solemnly at Oguruma.

"...Yes, that's right, and..."

Facing the Luduo symbol, Xiao Limao hesitated for a moment, and suddenly a resolute look appeared in his eyes, "Although I have been very confused recently, if Xiaoyu and the others want to defeat me, I will accompany them to the end!"

"I...will never give up easily!"

Seeing her complacent look, Luduo's expression gradually became relieved.

"That's why I said, if it was any other horse girl, I would just tell them 'One horse leads the way, all the other horses lose their glory', but you are different."

"…I am different?" Oguruma was stunned.

"When one horse leads the way, all other horses are eclipsed. When a generation has such a horse girl who is far ahead, other horse girls have no light at all. For most horse girls, this goal is enough for them to give up everything to have a chance to achieve it."

Luduo's expression gradually became solemn. "But, Xiaokuimao, you are not such a horse girl. You can not only achieve that kind of strength, but also another kind of strength."

"I've been keeping an eye on you since you came to the Center. Of course, I've also been keeping an eye on the entire Eternal Team."

"I discovered that you, like your trainer Chief Kitahara, have a special power. This special power can change you, your companions, and even change and subvert some rules."

"And you have already done it, with a strength comparable to 'one horse leads the way, all other horses are humiliated'."

“Thanks to your efforts, the treatment of local horse racing girls and local trainers has changed to some extent. This is of course due to the efforts of the chairman, but your contributions are also indispensable.”

"In addition to these, there are some changes taking place. Perhaps you are not aware of them, but Chief Kitahara should have noticed them."

At this point, she took a deep breath and slightly changed the subject.

"It is precisely because you have such a unique ability that for you, so-called strength is not the only thing you should pursue. What you should think about is why you are running."

As she said this, she looked straight at Little Chestnut Hat.

"Why are you running...? This..."

Confused for a moment, Little Chestnut couldn't help but frown.

"Don't worry. You may not be able to figure this out right now, but after listening to my experience, maybe you will have some ideas."

Smiling, Luduo took another sip of tea and looked out the window with a reminiscent look.

"I understand your doubts. Before I won the three championships and embarked on this path, I also had doubts and worries."

"What puzzles and bothers me is why everyone attaches so much importance to the treble and the unbeaten treble, and especially why there are such heavy expectations of me because of such an honor."

"Even now, I haven't figured out all these issues. I just understand why I want to play."

"Hey, you still don't understand...?"

Xiao Limao was suddenly surprised and curious, "So, what do you understand now...?"

Luduo's symbolic gaze turned back.

"Yeah, I don't fully understand what such honors and expectations mean. I just understand that there is no need to worry about anything, because those honors and expectations are not the real reason for me to compete."

"The real reason why I went to the competition, or training for the competition, and after I stepped onto the field, I found that everything was just for running."

"In order to run..." Little Chestnut's eyes moved.

Not missing the change in her expression, Luduo's eyes moved and his smile widened.

"Yeah, we horse girls...are born to run, aren't we?"

Her tone was encouraging and comforting, "Running in the competition, competing with your opponents with all your strength, isn't that enough?"

"Don't we have the desire to run anymore, without the Triple Crown, without the undefeated record, without the G1, without the international competition?"

"The truth I understand is very simple, that is, perhaps the glory and expectations are just imposed on us by the outside world. We ourselves may not need them. Being able to run and compete with opponents is actually very happy."

"…If it's just running, it has nothing to do with any competition, honor, or expectations…"

He murmured and repeated Ludo's symbolic words. In her slightly surprised look, the eyes of Little Chestnut Hat became brighter.

"Yes, for me, being able to stand up and run is the greatest happiness."

"Being able to win the race is a happiness that I never dared to imagine."

"so……"

Her eyes became brighter, "I understand."

“No matter how much expectations I have, I still have to run as hard as I can.”

“For the running, that’s all.”

“I was born to run.”

...Sure enough, Oguruma is completely different from her usual image to the outside world. She has wisdom that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

With a little surprise, Luduo expressed his emotion.

She had always felt that Oguruma was very similar to herself in many ways, but she had never told many people or horse girls about her thoughts on the competition because most of them could hear what she was saying but could not truly understand it.

She had a hunch that Kurimao would understand, but she didn't expect that this seemingly silly horse racing girl would get it so quickly.

"...You've come to some realization so quickly. Yes, my idea is very simple. For a horse girl like you, many things in the outside world will confuse you. You just need to keep your original heart and know why you are running. That's enough."

With emotion, she said another consolation sentence, picked up the teacup and nodded slightly to Xiao Limao.

"Take it esay, Oguri Cap."

As she said this, the person who had given her these words before the undefeated triple crown emerged in her mind.

"Enjoy everything now and enjoy every game, Oguruma." She kindly translated for Oguruma.

While Oguri Mao and Lu Duo were chatting about their feelings about the game, Kitahara was walking around the campus with Oguri Roman and the East China Sea Emperor.

He was very confident about the conversation in the Student Union office. The reason was not only that Luduo had enough experience, but also that he had discovered more than once that there were some corresponding things in this world.

Just like the East Sea Emperor and the Luduo Symbol have no blood relationship in this world but are still close, there is also a fate between the Ogurt Hat and the Luduo Symbol that is difficult to explain with common sense.

In another world, Oguri Hat had three battles with Tamamo Cross. He lost the first two times. But in the third battle, with the efforts of his camp, he invited a legendary rider to help. The rider was named "Okabe Yukio". Under his riding, Oguri Hat defeated Tamamo Cross for the first and only time.

The rider who rode Ludo to win the undefeated triple crown was none other than the rider Yukio Okabe.

This connection is also reflected in the comics. Before the final battle between Oguri and Tamamo Cross, it was the encouragement and communication from Ludo before the game that gave Oguri more confidence.

With these circumstances, Kitahara believes that with the symbolic communication with Ludo, the time spent with his mother, and more attention paid to communication, Oguri's previous pressure will not have any impact on training and competition.

So, Kitahara, like a rookie trainer, responded to the East China Sea Emperor's enthusiastic introduction and Oguri Roman's surprise, and expressed his feelings from time to time.

"Hi! This is the academy's training ground. It's big, right? The distance of one lap is basically the same as the Tokyo stadium, and the track layout is similar!"

The Emperor of the East China Sea first brought Kitahara and Oguri Roman to the training ground. Standing behind the audience seats surrounding the stadium, she put one hand on her waist and raised the other hand high, with a smug smile on her face.

"There are five grass tracks in total, each with a total length of about 5 meters, a straight length of more than 2000 meters, and a width of more than 500 meters. It is very comfortable to run on!"

“Only the dirt track is shorter, only about 1900 meters.”

“If this is a real Tokyo stadium, then important events such as the Japan Derby and the Japan Cup will be held on such a track!”

"Speaking of the Japanese Derby, this is my target event and it's also the one your sister, Oguri-san, will challenge soon!"

"Look, competing on a track like this, isn't Senior Oguruma very good? Of course I will be very good too!"

...You mainly want to say the second half of the sentence, right?

As Oguri Roman was amazed and nodded, Kitahara secretly complained, and then he thought of this:
In this case, the goal of the Emperor of the East China Sea should still be the "unbeaten triple crown" as in the original work. So in order to avoid the misfortune of another world, perhaps he should find an opportunity to symbolically hint at this matter to Luduo.

In another world, there is no doubt that the Emperor of the East China Sea is very strong, but she has a bumpy career. She has suffered four serious fractures. The first one happened after the Japan Derby, which directly ruined her dream of "unbeaten triple crowns", and the last one forced her to retire.

Now, Kitahara feels that since many of the regrets of Oguruma, Tamamo Cross, and Kobayashi can be made up for, especially since the glass-footed situations of Kobayashi and Mejiro Altan have not happened in this world, then it seems that nothing is impossible to make preparations in advance to prevent for the Emperor of the East China Sea.

But for something like this, we must consider the method carefully and take a long-term view. This is what Beiyuan finally decided.

Just as he was thinking about it, Oguri Roman seemed to have adapted to communicating with the Emperor of the East China Sea. Although his tone was timid and full of shyness, he mustered up the courage to take the initiative to ask.

"Hey, Sister Emperor, are those people running over there preparing for a race...?"

"Hey? Did you mean the runway?"

Following the direction pointed by Roman Oguri, the Emperor of the East China Sea looked around curiously for a moment with his hands on his back, then he started laughing.

"Ah, no, they are all beginner students like me, and they haven't debuted yet. They are just practicing as usual right now!"

"I happen to know them too. When they are taking a break from practice, I will take you to say hello to them. They all admire your sister and the Eternal Team she is a part of!"

After saying that, she waited for a while, and when she saw the three horse racing girls closest to this side on the track were taking a break, she cupped her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly over there.

"Hey - believers - Sun God - Wind God -"

"Look here, here! Guess who this kid next to me is? You can't guess, right?"

This shout startled the three horse racing girls who were drinking water and chatting over there, and then they all looked over.

A girl with short brown hair and a little white bangs on her forehead, and a lively look.

A girl with black hair with a hint of blue highlights, and a short ponytail on the left side of her head. There are pink stars, sky blue tears, and purple hollow triangle patterns on her face. She looks very fashionable.

One of them also had short brown hair and a side ponytail. She had some brown freckles on her face and looked lively and fashionable.

Brought back to his senses by the East China Sea Emperor's greeting, Kitahara subconsciously looked at the three horse racing girls and was stunned.

Aren't these Mejiro Yoshishin, Otaku Sun God, and Ennis Wind God? What is this, a horse-eating party?

He couldn't help laughing.

These three horse girls all have great talent and strength, but what makes them famous is that they are extremely good at escaping.

Both Mejiro Yoshinobu and Ohtaku Taiyangshen won the game many times by escaping, and they often escaped together, making the game very entertaining.

What's even more interesting is that the East China Sea Emperor had competed with them before, but his rhythm was affected by their escapes, resulting in the only two defeats in his career where he failed to make the top five. What's even more ridiculous is that in these two games, Datuo Sun God, one of the pace leaders, lost even more miserably than the Emperor.

Enis Fengshen's escape is even more famous. She is one of the few horse girls who won the Japanese Derby by relying on escape tactics.

There were 20 spectators at that game, which broke Sakura Chiyo's Japanese derby finishing record and also broke Oguri's retirement match record of 17 spectators.

Although these competitions have not yet taken place, Kitahara has become somewhat interested because of these three horse racing girls who have escaped fame.

Speaking of which, the current Umamusume idol industry is not particularly perfect. For example, some idol groups have not yet been established.

Well, should we find some time to organize ourselves? For example, if Mejiro Yoshinobu, Ohtaku Taiyangshen, and Enis Fengshen are all escape horses, then Eye-catching Eagle, Miura Bourbon, and Silent Suzuka, who are also famous for their escape tactics, seem to be able to be organized together to form an idol group.

Ogurashi hats and the like should also work? Oh, yes, she has already debuted as an idol in the "Moe Monster" group.

So if there is a chance, such as after retiring, could you consider taking the pure idol route?
Well, that's interesting indeed.

While he was thinking about it, the three escaped horse girls also learned about Oguri Roman through the Emperor of the East China Sea. After learning that she was Oguri Hat's sister, the three horse girls were very surprised, and also had a strange kind of eagerness to try. It seemed that if they were not still in training and the instructor was not right next to them, they would probably rush over to rub the cute Oguri Roman.

This also seemed to be a prank by the Emperor of the East China Sea. Seeing that Mejiro Yoshinobu and the others were looking forward to it and eager to try, she giggled and said, "We'll have a chance to train together again later." Then, with a triumphant expression on her face, she quickly took Kitahara and Oguri Roman away from the training ground.

Then, just like the "Open Day" introduction of the Central Academy, the Emperor of the East China Sea led the group to visit the classrooms, swimming pool, gymnasium and other places where classes were being held. Since this was not an "Open Day" after all, there was no way to get close to the study and training venues, so she then led the way to the library.

"Yeah, this is the library!"

Although his tone was excited, the Emperor of the East China Sea lowered his voice like a thief, and stood on tiptoe with his hands raised in front of him.

"Look, there are a lot of books here. Come on, keep your voice down and let Sister Emperor show you around~"

After spending some time together, it seemed that the Emperor of the East China Sea preferred the title of sister rather than senior. After giving some instructions, she saw Oguri Roman nod obediently, and she showed a satisfied and doting expression.

"Come on, follow me and walk slowly. Look, this is bookshelf number 14. It's all... Hey? McQueen? Why are you here?"

When the Emperor of the East China Sea and Roman Oguri walked in, Kitahara thought for a moment and did not go in with them. He just stood by the door and casually asked the librarian at the door for a newspaper, preparing to read the latest news.

After noticing that they had stopped, he subconsciously looked over and unexpectedly discovered that next to the East China Sea Emperor and Oguri Roman, there was a horse girl with long lavender hair and elegant temperament.

Eh? Isn't that Senjin from the Mejiro family... Ahem, isn't that the other daughter of the Mejiro family, Mejiro McQueen?
The horse racing girl was none other than Mejiro McQueen, whom Kitahara had met once before at the Mejiro family. During their last encounter, she actually left Kitahara with the impression that she was very well-mannered and reasonable, but some memories were so profound that he could not forget them for a while.

After all, this prototype horse really weighed a lot after retiring, and in anime and games she couldn't control herself when she heard about desserts. It's really impossible to forget about her weight.

But after being surprised for a while, seeing that the three horse racing girls seemed to be whispering to each other and walking outside, Kitahara also put down the newspaper and left the library early.
