Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 161 Our tama Leila! (1w)

Regarding the current situation of Tamamono Cross and Inari Ichi, Akasaka Misako's commentary was full of concern.

The audience is easily affected by such remarks. The uniform cheers on TV suddenly became a little chaotic, and the worries of the fans present could be felt through the screen.

Izaki also echoed Akasaka Misako's words with some hesitation.

"At the moment, Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi are both in unfavorable positions."

"They all expended a lot of energy rushing to the front."

"The opponents ahead are all experienced horse girls, I'm afraid they won't give up their positions easily."

"If they want to break through this situation, the acceleration like in the Hanshin Grand Prix is ​​a good choice. I hope they can find that state."

These words had some suggestion and comfort in them. Most people in the audience were very excited and their attention was on the field, but there were still many who listened carefully to the commentator and the guests' analysis.

At this point, the sound coming from the TV started to boil again. Many viewers had watched the previous Hanshin Awards and remembered clearly the amazing acceleration of Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi at that time. They cheered in anticipation.

"That's it! As long as we have that speed, everything will be fine!"

"Charge! Charge! At that speed, charge, Tamamo Cross, Inari Ichi!"

"Come on! Tamamo Cross, Inari Ichi!"

Influenced by such encouragement, Akasaka Misako also became excited.

"It seems that Mr. Izaki has given a very appropriate suggestion. I wonder if the Eternal Team has considered the acceleration method like the Hanshin Grand Prix this time?"

"If it's at that speed, the current situation will definitely change. Then when will these two horse girls choose to take action?!"

The images and sounds coming from the TV all showed the heated atmosphere at the scene, but Kitahara, Oguruma, and Tebuchi Zhou, mother and daughter, in front of the TV, looked somewhat calm.

The reason was precisely because of the explanation Kitahara had given when Izaki was halfway through his speech.

"That's the domain that Izaki is talking about."

He shook his head, "But I told them before the game not to use the field in this game."

"The previous few competitions were to get into that state, and once you get into that state, you can move on to the next step of 'mastery' training."

"But before I can master it, this state is unstable. If I want to win the Emperor's Spring Viewing Competition, I still have to use other abilities to win."

Hearing this, little Te Bie Zhou became curious.

"So Uncle Kitahara didn't allow Sister Tama and Sister Inari to use it? I mean, that ability of the leader..."

After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "Then I heard from the uncle on TV that my two sisters are in a very bad condition now. What should I do?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Te. The situation that Xiao Yu and Inari are facing is not as bad as Izaki said."

Kitahara said confidently: "This situation is essentially just about finding a way to surpass the opponent in front of us. We have trained in this aspect many times in normal times."

"With their abilities, it won't be difficult to surpass them."

"And you see, they are starting to speed up."

As Kitahara said, the camera on the TV screen is a long-distance wide-angle shot, which can clearly see the horse racing ladies on the track from the inside.

In the long team rushing along the inner fence, at the front were the Electric Shock Boy and the famous general Rong Guan, one after the other.

The gap between the two is not that big, only a little over a horse's length, and the distance is constantly changing, sometimes longer and sometimes shorter.

Further behind is the Golden City following closely behind.

Judging from her forward posture, she seemed to have reversed her previous indifferent state, and sprinted with all her might as if she wanted to leave a perfect game for her retirement battle.

Then it was Free Run and Mejiro Dylan's turn. The two horse girls were running almost side by side, competing for position, while also forming a "barrier" that was neither wide nor narrow.

Behind this "barrier" is the Tamamo Cross, staring intently at the figure in front.

Almost the same as Kitahara, what she was thinking about was surpassing her opponent.

Tsk, these two guys...

Looking at the two figures walking side by side in front of him, the little guy curled his lips slightly.

Was it intentional or accidental?!
Just blocking us?
Do you want to stop me in this way?

What a hassle...

There is no chance on the inner lane. The inner lane conditions today are not very good. Even if I overtake on the inner lane, the feeling of my feet will be affected. The time I spent adjusting to the state just now would be wasted, and I would have to waste energy to accelerate again...

Outsiders...

Tsk, although it’s not a problem for us to surpass others, that guy might think so too…

If I fight her with the outside path, the same situation might happen as last time at the Hanshin Grand Prix, and I might even accidentally enter the realm state.

That would be troublesome. There was still more than 1000 meters to go. If I accidentally entered the territory state at this distance, it would be fun, but I would have no chance of reaching the finish line...

and so……

Staring closely at Mejiro Dylan and Freerun running in front of him, with his ears pricked up alertly at the heavy footsteps coming from behind, Tamamo Cross gritted his teeth.

Should I wait for an opportunity, or go to another path...

Just as Tamamo Cross continued to speed up and quickly think about the next countermeasures, coincidentally, Inari Ichi, who was gradually catching up from behind, was doing the same thing.

This competition was easier than I thought. It seems that what Alang and the others said was right. I already have a clear advantage in various basic abilities.

Although he thought this in his mind, Inariichi did not relax.

Because she knew that she was not the only one in the team who possessed such strength, there was also Tamamo Cross.

So do I have to force my way through? From between these opponents in front...

I have no problem with this aspect of strength, but if I squeeze through the middle, that guy...

Damn it, I really don’t want to fight that guy so early.

Ah Lang has said many times that this area still needs further training, otherwise it will be easily triggered at inappropriate times, especially when fighting against Xiaoyu...

If it triggers at this distance, how will I have the energy to finish the race? Wouldn't that be a bargain for the other guys? !

So, I can only go to the outer sect...?
But Xiaoyu should think so too, so it is inevitable...

Ahhh, this is so annoying, why is it so troublesome? !

Forget it, never mind, I will surpass him sooner or later, and my condition has been adjusted to an excellent level, so I might as well do it now!
After all, Inari was not the type who liked to analyze all the time, and after confirming the schedule status almost instantly, she made the decision without hesitation.

"Xiaoyu! Don't let me catch you!"

With a roar, feeling the scorching heat brought to her whole body by the continuous acceleration, she stomped on the ground hard, and her whole figure instantly became blurred.

As she accelerated, the entire Kyoto arena exploded like a bowl of water poured into a boiling oil pan.

“Ooooooh! Is it that kind of acceleration?! Is it the same acceleration as the Hanshin Grand Prix?!”

"Go ahead, Inari! Go to the finish line in one breath!"

"Come on, Inari!"

Not only did the audience start roaring, the commentator Akasaka Misako also suddenly stood up from the commentary booth, pressed the microphone excitedly, and roared at a broken voice.

"She showed up! Finally, a horse girl has broken the current deadlock. It's Inari!"

"Her arch-rival, Tamamo Cross, seems to be still waiting and watching, but Inari Ichi has chosen to speed up again!"

"There was still about 900 meters to the finish line on the second downhill, and Inari chose to take action!"

"She chose the outer lane to overtake, speeding up in one go, and overtook one, two...three opponents in a row!"

"Almost in the blink of an eye, she instantly came from the second straight line to behind the leading electric boy and the famous general Rong Guan!"

"Perhaps because they felt the huge pressure, Golden City, which was previously ranked third, also chose to speed up."

“She and Inari walked side by side, and the two horse girls were in a very fierce battle for position!

"Electric Boy and General Rong Guan also increased their speed. They must maintain their lead!"

"The scene suddenly became heated and the battle situation suddenly became tense!"

Compared to the excitement of the audience and Akasaka Misako, although the tone of the guest Izaki was hurried, the content of his words was still full of calm analysis.

"An excellent choice!" He was somewhat excited.

"We, the bystanders, can clearly see that there is a 400-meter downhill slope ahead. If we choose to speed up at this time, we will save more energy than at other positions!"

“But horse racing girls can only see the opponent in front of them and part of the road, but not the whole picture!”

"So being able to choose to speed up here at the right time, Inari is worthy of the world's expectations of her!"

“Amazing, great choice!”

After a moment of excitement, he said more calmly: "But judging from the speedometer at the distance node, Inari's acceleration at this moment is not as exaggerated as that at the Hanshin Grand Prix. It looks like a normal running tactic."

"It's a very calm choice. The acceleration in the Hanshin Race is very powerful but it also consumes a lot of physical strength. It's unwise to choose that kind of running method at this time. This conventional running method is the most suitable for the moment."

"An excellent choice, player Inariichi!"

He repeated it at last, getting excited again, "She has a great chance of keeping running like this and sprinting to the finish line!"

Very similar to the commentary booth, the TV is also filled with excited cheers and calm analysis.

"How amazing! Sister Inari is so amazing, whoosh, she rushed up in one breath!"

Waving the hand-cranked gongs and drums in his hands, making a whirring sound, Xiao Te Bie Zhou said excitedly: "If I can keep running like this, I will definitely win!"

...If Inari was the only one participating in this competition, that would indeed be the case.

Kitahara did not speak out to correct Te Bie Zhou's statement, but just muttered it silently in his heart. Then, when he was about to ask Oguruma's opinion, he heard his horse racing girl speak in a low voice with a thoughtful look.

"Outer Path Transcendence? If it were me, I would also choose this position and this tactic..."

Hearing this, he glanced at Zhou's mother and daughter, who looked very focused and happy. Seeing that they were both staring at the TV screen, Beiyuan turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"It seems you have discovered something, Little Chestnut...what do you think?"

“…I can’t really call it an opinion…”

With a whispered response, Oguruma pointed at the TV, "I don't think there's anything wrong with Inari's choice."

"I am also good at this kind of running style of surpassing others."

“I won many of the previous competitions by running this way.”

"It's just that this method consumes a lot of physical strength and leg power. I would choose this method because many times I can't get the inner lane and often get stuck in the outer lane."

"And when I turn, my body can't help but lean outward, as if someone is pulling me."

"So I just got used to being surpassed by the outsiders."

At this point, she showed a worried look, "If I were the only one participating in this kind of race, I wouldn't be worried."

"But if Xiaoyu is also present, this kind of physical exertion... might affect the sprint to the finish line."

"You can see it in the usual training. Xiaoyu's speed, strength, endurance, and skills are all very strong. If you don't have enough speed advantage against her, it may not be a good idea to cross the finish line like this."

"I don't know if this is a problem. What do you think, Kitahara?" she finally asked Kitahara.

"I don't have any other opinions. I'm glad you thought of this."

Kitahara nodded and smiled with some ease, "In a 3200-meter race, you still have the energy to think when there are still 800 or 900 meters to the finish line, but you can only rely on instinct for the final sprint."

"It is necessary to think of everything in advance. Xiaoyu and Inari should have considered the next strategy, but Inari just took the lead."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Xiaoyu will also take action."

"The outer path has been occupied by Inari, and the inner path happens to be in poor condition. In order to avoid an overly intense fight with Inari and the poor condition of the inner path, the strategies she can choose are..."

Staring at the team gradually going downhill to the fourth turn on the screen, Kitahara pondered for a moment.

"That position-switching running style should be the only thing left."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Akasaka Misako's scream came from the TV.

“The front row has passed the fourth turn! At this moment…Aaaaah!”

"From the inner circle, here they come! Tamamo Cross!!!"

"Instead of choosing the same outer path overtaking method as Inari, she chose to rush out from the center of the team!"

"This is so surprising. The data before the game showed that Inari Ichi was stronger. She should have been the one most likely to break out of the team. I never expected it to be Tamamo Cross!!"

"Is this also the Eternal Team's tactic this time?! This is so surprising!!"

"So fast, so fast, so fast!"

"I didn't see how she rushed out from between Mejiro Dylan and Free Run. It was too fast!"

"I caught up with Koganejo and Inari in no time. She's still there... I see! It's that signature lightning-fast running style!"

"It was really like a flash of lightning. The gap only appeared for a moment, and Tamamo Cross directly seized the opportunity and rushed out from the gap between the competition between Golden City and Inari!"

"She's heading straight for the Electric Shock Boy and the famous general Rong Guan who are at the front!"

As Akasaka Misato commented, at the Kyoto venue, the front section of the teams that were originally competing for position in pairs were suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning.

Between the competing Mejiro Dylan and Freerun, and between Koganejo and Inariichi, the small silver-gray figure rushed out from the gap in the nick of time and approached the two leading horse girls without any delay.

The cheers for Inari suddenly stopped for a few breaths, and then, as if they had been discussed beforehand, the name "Tamamo Cross" began to resound over the stadium.

The sound began to echo in the huge Kyoto stadium and rushed straight into the sky.

In this situation, Akasaka Misako became even more excited.

"Go, Tamamo Cross! If you win, you'll get a huge reward for your sixth consecutive win and your first G6 win! If you win, you'll be the strongest Guma in the league!"

Even Izaki, who had remained calm, couldn't help but stand up and raise his voice.

"Too clever! This position switch is so precise!"

"No matter if it's slower or faster, it's impossible to rush out from that gap. It's too precise, the position switch is like this!"

"As expected of White Lightning, this is the tactic?! It's so unexpected!"

"As expected... she surpassed me! Tamamo Cross rushed to the front, and she rushed out from the gap between Electric Boy and General Rong Guan!"

In excitement, Izaki suddenly took over the responsibility from Akasaka Misato and excitedly gave a live commentary.

"It was still that lightning-fast pace. Tamamo Cross performed three lightning steps brilliantly. She surpassed five opponents in one breath and rushed to the front!"

The TV screen faithfully showed the scene that amazed the commentator, guests and audience.

In the camera shot from a distance, there was no figure for a long distance behind the two leading horse girls running in the front, as if they were the only two of them on the entire track.

In an instant, a figure mixed with silver-gray, red, blue and white suddenly flashed from the blank edge of the camera.

The silver-gray hair was tied up, and under the pull of the strong wind, the scattered long hair was like a silver-gray cloak, flying high with a whirring sound, almost parallel to the ground covered with green grass.

Also parallel to the ground is the silver-gray ponytail.

Under the high-speed sprint, the long ponytail that usually looks somewhat cute now looks like the flame at the tail end of a rocket engine, or like the fleeting afterimage of lightning, flashing a series of afterimages in the air.

Red, blue and white are the winning colors of this tiny horse girl.

The long red and blue headband, the cape-like long hair, and the tail-like tail were all pulled straight backwards by the wind, parallel to the ground.

The same red and blue jacket and bra were also mixed into afterimages at high speed. Only by looking very hard could you see the white "lightning" pattern in the middle of the bra.

There were also two pairs of white legs that were crossed madly. The legs that looked short at ordinary times suddenly burst out with terrifying power. Every time they stepped on the ground, footprints several inches deep appeared on the ground.

Under the tremendous force, grass clippings and soil flew wildly backwards, and the force that carried them was transformed into an exaggerated reaction force, causing the small figure in gray, red, blue and white to strike forward like lightning.

But it was like a frame-stripping technique, whether it was the perspective of the audience, the commentary booth, or the camera on the TV screen, even if it was just a slight distraction or a blink, the scene from the previous second to the next second was completely different. In the previous second, everyone's eyes just caught the gray, red, blue and white intertwined figure appearing behind the leading horse girl.

In the blink of an eye, as if splitting the time and space between him and his opponent, his figure had surpassed and appeared in the front.

"White Lightning" overtook and rushed to the first place almost in an instant.

However, unlike the powerful impact that the amazing sprint brought to everyone, Tamamo Cross at this moment just had an excited smile, gritted his teeth, stared at the finish line vaguely visible after the fourth turn, and moved his legs with all his strength.

No problem! No problem!

What Komiya said is right, and what the uncles said are also right, we are already the strongest right now!

Even when facing Inari, we won't lose!
Just like that, he surpassed in one breath, took the lead in one breath, rushed to the end in one breath, and rushed to the finish line in one breath!

The sixth victory will be rewarded handsomely, we must win it!
Perhaps because of her concentration, the end point has become extremely clear, and the smile on her face has become even more excited.

The more than 2000-meter distance she had experienced before did not seem to bring any fatigue, or perhaps the excitement of impending victory made her ignore the fatigue. She felt that her whole body seemed to have never been so full of strength.

She firmly believed that she was invincible in this state!
Suddenly, her ears moved slightly, her smile paused slightly, and then returned to being bright again, and her eyes glanced to the left and back.

There was no figure there, but the roar and approaching footsteps she had just heard made her realize that the opponent who could really threaten her in this game was here.

"Tamamo Cross, don't even think about running away!!!"

The battle on the track suddenly changed from a breakout to a pursuit battle, with two figures, one silver-gray and one brown, struggling forward at the front of the team.

Damn it! Taking the outer route consumed a bit of my energy, but I didn’t expect Xiaoyu to rush out from the center of the team…

I forgot that although she is a little weaker than me, her balance and ability to switch positions...

Damn it, I was so careless, but...

"Don't even think about escaping, Tamamo Cross!!!"

He once again let out a spirited roar, staring intently at the blurry grey, blue, red and white figure in front of him, and chased after it with all his might.

The atmosphere in the entire stadium reached its peak at this moment.

"He rushed out, Tamamo Cross rushed out! Inari gave chase not to be outdone, is this going to turn into a one-on-one duel?!"

"There's still more than 4 horse lengths of distance. Did the outdo overtake consume his energy?! Although there's no obvious difference in speed, if this continues, Inari won't be able to catch up!"

"It's so exciting! Go!"

"Come on, Tamamo Cross! Come on, Inari Ichi! I want to see the miracle of you two crossing the finish line side by side!"

"It's the last straight line, and the distance hasn't shortened significantly... No! It's starting to shorten. Inariichi's last kick is really as good as it's said to be. She's starting to shorten the distance!"

"There are only 4 horse lengths and 3 and a half horse lengths left... There is not much distance left. Tamamo Cross is also moving fast. She is also speeding up. The distance is shortened again!"

"Can you catch up, Inari Ichi?! Can you maintain this advantage, Tamamo Cross?! There are still... 300 meters... 200 meters! The whole way is a straight line, how will it end?!"

The cheers from the audience were mixed together, and it was hard to tell whether the voices came from Akasaka Misako, Izaki, or the audience.

There were also a mixture of voices in front of the TV. Kitahara and Oguruma, who had been analyzing the situation calmly before, and the mother and daughter Te Bie Zhou, who had been cheering at the top of their lungs, now only had words to cheer and cheer.

"Sister Xiaoyu is awesome! Sister Inari is awesome! Come on, both sisters!"

"Don't lose, Tama! Inari, hurry up and catch up!"

"Come on! Win this Emperor's Spring Viewing Beautifully!"

Just like the Tamamo Cross rushing out of the team like lightning and rushing to the front in one breath, the entire 400-meter terminal straight sprint sounds very long, but in the eyes of all the audiences in front of the TV and on the scene, it was just a blink of an eye.

Akasaka Misato's voice broke out in surprise.

"At this moment...cross the finish line!"

"It's Tamamo Cross!"

"Tamamo Cross is number one!"

"The winner of the Emperor's Spring Viewing Award is Tamamo Cross!!!"

"It's a pity that the three horses behind kept running at the same speed, so I was very disappointed that I couldn't catch up, but..."

“Oh my god, it’s amazing!”

"It's a record-breaking achievement! The speed of Tamamo Cross and Inari's last three waves broke the historical record!"

“Although the two contestants won and lost in the end, their 3F scores were both 49.1!”

"The three-wave data ranked first in the whole game, which is 0.3 seconds faster than the historical record!!!"

"Excellent, congratulations to both contestants!"

Akasaka Misato's voice was a little hoarse at this moment. She proved with her actions that commentating on Umamusume competitions is a very vocal job, but she still insisted on speaking in an excited tone:

"It's obvious. Just as predicted before the game, the best horse girls in the end are indeed these two."

"Tamamo Cross even tied Mejiro Mound's record with 6 consecutive wins. Without a doubt, she deserves the title of the strongest active horse girl in the ancient horse year!"

"Next, let's listen to Mr. Izaki's comments on this game..."

The cheers on TV continued, but the atmosphere at the commentary booth gradually calmed down.

The same is true in front of the TV. Kitahara and Oguruma are fine as they often go to the scene to watch games and cheer. They have long been accustomed to this kind of voice-straining thing.

Especially Zhou's mother and daughter, it was obviously the first time they were so excited. They both had excited expressions, frowned slightly, and touched their throats with some discomfort.

"...I think I should have reminded you before. Don't shout with your throat. Use your abdomen to make sounds. This way it won't strain your throat that much."

After sharing his experience of cheering up in a somewhat amusing manner, Kitahara picked up two unopened bottles of honey drinks on the table and handed them over.

"Honey is good for your throat, drink more."

"Thank you... ahem, thank you Uncle Kitahara..."

"Thank you, Mr. Kitahara... ahem..."

Both mother and daughter coughed for a while, took the drinks with grateful expressions, and very tacitly put one hand on their waists, held the bottle with the other, and raised their heads to drink tons, tons, tons.

“Hahaha – I feel much better…”

After finishing half a bottle of drink in one breath, little Zhou Te Bie became full of energy.

"Uncle Kitahara, Sister Tama and Sister Inari are so amazing!"

She said excitedly: "I was told before that I can also participate in competitions like the Emperor's Spring Viewing Competition in the future. Can I be as good as my two sisters?"

Although Aiko didn't say anything, her eyes looking at Kitahara were full of anticipation.

"Don't worry, you're going to Tokyo next, right?"

Kitahara smiled confidently and said, "Then you will be able to see how we train normally, and you will gradually start to participate in such training."

"Then you will know that you are an excellent horse girl. You will definitely compete in events like the Emperor's Spring Viewing Ceremony."

"That's great! I will definitely work hard!" Little Te Bie Zhou cheered.

Seeing this, Kitahara smiled again, and Aiko reached out and touched his daughter's head with a look of relief, then thought for a moment.

"Well, Mr. Kitahara, how about Xiao Te and I go pack our bags now?"

After the Emperor's spring appreciation, the mother obviously hoped that her daughter would have a better future and that she could fulfill her deceased friend's wishes. She said impatiently:

"If Kitahara-san and Oguruma want to continue their journey, we can wait for a while, but we can't just sit there and wait."

"It will be much more convenient to set off if you pack in advance."

"Ah... Actually, I feel like this trip is almost over."

He responded to Aiko with a smile, and seeing the surprise on her face, Kitahara looked at Oguruma beside him.

"You see, even though I, the horse girl, am still here, my mind has probably returned to the training grounds."

Hearing this, Aiko was stunned again, and then looked at Xiaolimao, and Zhou also looked over curiously.

Xiao Limao was staring at the TV screen, as if he didn't hear the conversation next to him at all.

On TV, the camera is slowly switching and zooming in.

At the beginning, there were people moving around in the audience seats. It was obvious that hundreds of thousands of spectators were raising their arms, waving flowers and banners in their hands, and shouting loudly.

They were almost all shouting the name of "Tamamo Cross".

Then it cuts to the green carpet-like track of the stadium, first shooting the finish line, and then moving forward, passing one by one the racing ladies who were walking slowly to recover their strength after finishing the race.

Finally, the picture stopped on the short man with long silver-gray hair in the front.

The camera zoomed in, and the little man faced the audience, with his arms raised high and his clenched fists pointing to the sky. The smile on his face, the glistening sweat sliding down his cheeks, and the little fangs showing through his grinning mouth were clearly visible.

Oguruma was also clenching her fists, but her arms were hanging at her sides and the expression on her face was not relaxed, but full of fighting spirit and desire.

"Tama... Is the current Guma the strongest...?"

Just as she murmured this, she heard a voice with a hint of laughter coming from beside her.

"Why, you want to compete with Xiaoyu in the arena?"

"Ah, yes... ah? Kitahara...?"

After responding subconsciously, she was stunned for a moment, turned her head and saw Kitahara looking at her with a smile, and Aiko, who was a little further away, had a similar expression.

Only little Te Bie Zhou looked here and there in confusion, then scratched his head, as if he didn't understand what was going on.

"Well, I want to compete with Xiaoyu."

He continued to clench his fists, but raised his arms. Oguruma placed his fists on his chest and said in a deep voice, "I discovered it during the Gaoyue Award. I don't really understand fame and the 'Unbeaten Triple Crown'."

"Even what mom said about becoming a great horse girl, I still don't quite understand it. Even though you, Kitahara, have told me a lot, I still don't quite understand it."

"Being able to keep running, I found that I was eager to run."

"Eager to run with a strong opponent."

“And then win the game.”

"Tama is very strong. She is very strong in training and competitions. And Kitahara also said this time that she is not allowed to use the field with Inari."

"You are so strong without a domain. You will train in this area in the future, right? Then Xiaoyu will become even stronger."

"I want to compete with Xiaoyu." She looked at Kitahara firmly.

The smile on Kitahara's face remained, but his tone gradually became serious.

"So, do you think you can easily beat other opponents in the Japanese Derby and the Chrysanthemum Competition?"

"Eh? This..."

Xiao Limao was stunned for a moment.

"Or do you think you can definitely beat Aldan, Little Bay, Dido Shooter, Sakura Chiyoou, and Yae Invincible?"

"This... I am very sure, but to say it is 100%..."

Oguruma was stunned again, responded subconsciously, and immediately understood Kitahara's intention.

"…Sorry, Kitahara, I think I thought too much…"

After hearing her apology, Kitahara regained his relaxed smile, because he had originally wanted to remind this horse girl of his.

“The win by three lengths on the Emperor’s Spring Race really shows how strong Xiaoyu is in her string of big wins after last year’s losing streak.”

Looking at the apologetic and thoughtful little chestnut hat, he smiled patiently:
"Such an opponent is indeed worth challenging. It can even be said that with such an opponent as an incentive, any horse girl will become stronger."

"But you have to eat one bite at a time, and become stronger step by step."

"You do have extraordinary talent. If you really want to challenge Gu Ma Nian with the Classic Year, you may have a chance of winning."

"But you know that even if you face an opponent from the same classic year, your chances of winning are not 100%."

"Then facing Xiaoyu, who is more experienced and is now being called the 'strongest in service' by everyone, wouldn't your chances actually be even smaller?"

Having said that, seeing that her horse girl's expression was becoming increasingly serious, Kitahara's tone became relaxed again.

"Besides, if you really want to compete with Xiaoyu, there will be plenty of opportunities at the Japan Cup and Arima Kinen at the end of this year."

The schedule for Oguri's competition is now very clear. The Classic Triple Crown itself will take up most of half a year.

The Japan Derby and the Chrysanthemum Appreciation both require a lot of time to prepare, and during this period one also needs to participate in certain events to maintain form, which makes it difficult to schedule more competitions.

For example, the Yasuda Memorial and the Takarazuka Memorial, with Oguruma's ability and the number of fans, he can definitely participate.

However, both of these games are not far from the Japanese Derby, which is known to be extremely intense. If the team fails to recover in time after the game, it is very common for it to be difficult to recover for a long time.

For example, Sakura Chiyoou, the champion of this Japan Derby in history, never had any outstanding results after winning the game. In particular, her form was very low in the six months after Zhou won the Japan Derby. This was all related to the fact that the intensity of this game was too high.

The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Race lasts for 3000 meters, so you need enough time to adjust not only before the race, but also after the race.

Therefore, after the entire classic triple crown battle, the most suitable arrangements are either the "Mile Championship" plus the "Arima Kinen", or the "Japan Cup" plus the "Arima Kinen".

Given Oguri's current situation, she can participate smoothly in both events. Considering the fans' expectations, the URA Association and the Board of Directors, and the fact that Rudo symbolizes their inclinations, the latter option is likely to be chosen.

If Oguri wins the Classic Triple Crown, especially if she wins it in an "undefeated" manner, she will undoubtedly be used as the main force against the foreign horse racing girls in the Japan Cup, just like Ludo did in the past.

If he, as a trainer, didn't arrange the game that way, he would definitely be scolded by fans. I guess Chairman Akikawa would even get angry with him.

After thinking about the arrangements for a while, Kitahara saw Oguruma's surprised expression. He knew that she was excited about the chance to fight with Tamamo Cross, so he couldn't help but laugh, and then he became serious.

"So you must be fully prepared for the match at the end of this year."

He solemnly exhorted: “The difference between the ancient horse race and the classic race is huge, even bigger than the difference between the long-distance race and the China-UK short race.”

"And as long as you win the Triple Crown, you will definitely win the Japan Cup and Arima Kinen, so you will definitely play against Tamamo Cross."

"During this period, I will consider arranging some ancient horse races for you. On the one hand, it is to ensure your competition condition, and on the other hand, it is also to allow you to adapt."

"Regarding the specific events..."

He was about to continue speaking when he heard his cell phone ringing.

He was stunned for a moment, took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID, and was stunned again.

"Sorry, I'm going to take a call."

After thinking for a moment, Kitahara looked apologetically at Oguruma and Tebie Zhou, then walked to a corner of the room with his cell phone and answered the call.

"Hey, Uncle Six..."

"Call me Liu Ping! You little brat, I knew you were going to call me that!"

After greeting each other in a familiar manner, the uncle and nephew spoke in unison in tacit understanding.

"You have a pretty good eye, brat. In your team, Oguruma, Super Kobay, and Mejiro Aldan from the Classic Year are all outstanding horse girls. Tamamo Cross and Inari Ichi are also strong men from the Ancient Year!"

"Uncle Six, you also watched the Emperor's Spring Viewing Competition that Xiaoyu and Inari just finished, right?"

In an instant, it was a familiar interaction.

"I told you to call me Liu Ping, you little brat who refuses to change his ways!"

After a curse, the voice on the other end suddenly became disapproving, "Not bad, this vision and training level are comparable to what I had back then."

...This old man, just praises people, he is quite arrogant.

Speechless for a moment, Beiyuan was about to complain when he suddenly heard a lazy voice coming from the other end of the phone.

"Old man, don't you usually praise your nephew to everyone you meet? Why did you become so... Hey, how do you say it in Japan, tsundere?"

Beautiful! Although I don’t know who it is, this complaint is really beautiful! Kitahara couldn’t help but curl his lips.
