Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 164: Old Gossip in the Horse Racing Girl World (1w)

With the new training, there is obviously a lot more to do than before.

The trainers became familiar with the operation of the equipment, and the racehorses adapted to running training in the wind tunnel. After all these basic tasks were completed, it was almost noon.

However, this arrangement did not reduce efficiency compared to other trainers or teams in the Central Academy.

The training outside the Yongshi team is still relatively conventional. Taking running training as an example, the horse girls mainly improve their basic abilities on indoor treadmills and improve their adaptability to actual venues on the training ground.

And because the wind tunnel equipment itself can simulate the natural environment to a considerable extent, the treadmill is also specially made to simulate the touch of grass, which means that one training session can have both effects of conventional methods.

Moreover, the equipment is equipped with more sophisticated and professional instruments, and data collection and analysis can be carried out simultaneously, saving time in the entire training phase.

After the morning training, Kitahara has confirmed with Komiyayama and others that the team's current training method is enough to improve efficiency by more than 30%, and the efficiency can be further improved through optimization.

"With this kind of efficiency, we will be more confident in any subsequent games."

After finding out the improvement in efficiency, Kitahara was very happy, but he did not get carried away. Instead, he said calmly: "Then, we can directly solve the potential problem of Oguruma and the others."

As for the fact that Oguruma and the others' potential has not yet been fully realized, he discussed it with the team as soon as he returned to Tokyo, and also briefly explained the conversation with Zhou Ri Ningjing.

He knew the specialness of the horse racing girl Zhou Ri Ning Jing. It was the first time that Komiya and the others learned about it. After being surprised that there were such horse racing girls in the world, they quickly accepted this fact, and the process was even faster than Kitahara.

Kitahara was a little surprised at first, and he thought it would take some time to explain, but he quickly realized that compared to him, the people in this world were actually more accustomed to things like the Three Goddesses and God's Gift.

So after understanding the premise, Komiyayama and others suddenly realized what to do next.

“Indeed, I didn’t expect the wind tunnel equipment to be so effective. The saved analysis time alone is worth the high price. The saved time can really allow us to advance the training content faster.”

Nodding in agreement, Komiya-san became a little worried again.

"However, according to my senior brother and the child named Ning Jing, Xiaoyu's potential was not fully realized due to nutritional problems when she was a child."

"I know about this situation. I have discovered it through some competitions and data analysis before. I have also talked about this with Xiaoyu and Jingzi."

"But if the root of the problem comes from the past, there doesn't seem to be any mature way to deal with it."

She hugged her arms together, and her hands pressed against her elbows tightened involuntarily. She couldn't help but frown. "According to existing theories, if you want to make up for some problems in your childhood, nutritional supplements are the most effective way."

"But Tama's appetite is not bad now, and Kyoko-san has been doing her homework, so she, Oguri and the others have no problem with nutrition at all."

"How do we solve this problem...?"

Hearing this, Kyoko Miyamura also frowned and nodded.

"What Xiao Gongshan said is right. Nutrition has always been my biggest concern. Every time I go home or call my grandfather, we talk about this the most."

"After meeting the Chaoyue team, I had a lot of discussions with their nutritionist and trainer, and we both gained something. The nutrition plan is definitely more reasonable than before."

"To solve Xiaoyu's past problems under such circumstances..." She fell silent and fell into deep thought.

"…It's not just Xiaoyu's problem."

Yusuhara also spoke in a deep voice at this time, "In other words, many of the problems faced by our Uma Musume cannot be solved all at once by existing theories."

"I have read some foreign theories about Xiaoyu's situation. The solution can be based on modeling."

"To put it simply, Xiaoyu has now completed her characterization, so it would be best to find a horse girl with similar bloodline and potential to her, and use the latter's data to build a model and deduce. This way, we can find the differences and find a suitable solution."

"Similarly, Inari's problem is her temper."

"Whether it's the Emperor's Spring Viewing Ceremony, the Hanshin Grand Prix, previous competitions, or regular training, you can actually see her impatient side."

"If it's a normal competition, the impact of this personality is not obvious, her strength is enough to offset the adverse effects, but in a competition of the level of the Emperor's Spring Festival, the opponents are very strong, and these adverse effects will be reflected."

"As for her personality, it's not something that can be solved overnight. It requires a method that suits her and can temper her temperament."

At this point, he looked at the horse racing ladies who were still practicing in the wind tunnel, and then said in a deep voice:
"Then there are Oguruma, Cove, and Aldan. They either have physical problems or field problems."

"The latter problem is easy to solve. We have spent so much time and effort in the past period of time and have accumulated enough experience. We will most likely be able to solve it after a period of targeted training."

"As for the issue of physical strength... Oguruma's current physical strength is already incredible, and further improvement..."

He was silent for a moment, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It seems that this problem cannot be solved in a short time."

The atmosphere on the trainer's side suddenly became solemn, but Kitahara started laughing.

"I think you are worrying too much, or maybe the recent smooth training and competitions have made you somewhat accustomed to this smoothness."

"Excessive worry? Adapting smoothly? This... Senior Brother, what do you want to say?"

After being stunned for a moment, Komiyayama became puzzled, and Kyoko and Yusuhara also showed similar expressions.

"It's very simple," Bei Yuan nodded and spread his hands, "You guys have said it yourself. The problems we are facing now cannot be solved in a short period of time. So why are you so anxious?"

After saying this, seeing that everyone else was stunned again, and then became a little thoughtful, he couldn't help laughing again and began to explain.

"Whether it's Tama's physical condition, Inari's personality, or Oguruma and the others, since these problems can't be solved in a short period of time, we just need to spend more time and energy on them."

"It's not like we haven't encountered this kind of thing before."

"When we were still in Kasamatsu, it took a long time to resolve Kobayashi's inflammation and Tama's PTSD."

“After arriving at the Central, it took a long time for Inari to adapt to the heavy ground and Aldan’s footwork.”

"Since this has happened before, it is normal to encounter similar situations again. It just takes time and energy. Why should we rush?"

At this point, Komiya and the others had already understood Kitahara's meaning, and their expressions suddenly dawned on them.

"That's right, Senior Brother. When we encountered this kind of thing before, we also solved it slowly. We didn't solve it all at once."

Komiya-san laughed, "And Brother Yuhara also said that there is a solution to Tama's situation, so we should work together."

"If we can solve problems like the field, we can definitely think of ways to solve other problems too!"

"Yes, the trainers before didn't know everything, and they didn't have all the theories before."

Yusuhara said confidently, "Like what Komiya-san said, we can do unprecedented things like actively triggering the domain, and we will definitely be able to research the rest."

Seeing that everyone had recovered from their depression, Beiyuan's face darkened.

"It's good that you guys can pull yourself together."

"But like I said, our recent training and games have been going so smoothly that you are a little too accustomed to it."

He turned serious. "Indeed, even I have to admit that after coming to Central Academy, especially after the Gaoyue Award preliminaries and the debut of our horse girls, we encountered fewer and fewer problems, and everyone won more and more games."

“But this doesn’t mean it will always be like this.”

"Next, there will be more and more strong people on the ancient horse front of Tama and Inari. Every game they play will be a competition with the most outstanding horse girls of this generation. They also have to compete with each other. It is impossible for everything to go smoothly forever."

“The same is true of the classic lines of Little Chestnut Hat, Little Bay and Aldan.”

“The reason why the Japanese Derby and the Kikuka Sho are so popular among horse racing girls is not because these races are full of glory, but because it is so difficult to win these races.”

"They won't say they can win easily, that's why we work so hard."

"In the future, not to mention the Arima Kinen at the end of the year, they will compete with the most watched horse racing girls in Japan."

"For example, the Japan Cup before the Arima Kinen. At that time, they will face the strongest horse girls in the world. I can't think of any reason to relax."

"Maybe my words are a bit harsh, but that's the truth. We've been doing too well for a while now, and we haven't encountered any real challenges. That's why you've become so anxious about a problem that needs a long-term solution."

Having said that, Kitahara felt that he had not said it so harshly.

What he meant to say was "Don't be so arrogant," or "Don't lose your temper when you encounter a little problem."

But after thinking about it, he felt that he should be more gentle.

In his team, except for him, everyone else can be said to be a young trainer who has just started out. Komiyama, Yusuhara and Kyoko are very talented and work hard enough. They can even be said to be the hardest working among their peers.

Whether it is for the team as a whole or for each horse girl, they have never let up.

For example, a few days ago, when he, the chief trainer, went out for a trip, they still stayed at their positions and won the first and second places in such a high-prize event as the Emperor's Spring Viewing for Yongshi.

However, they have experienced too little after all, at least not compared with him, an "old guy" who is several decades older in mental age. So it is not surprising that they would have this kind of fear of gain and loss when encountering some problems in good times.

This was exactly the time when he, as the chief, needed to express his opinion. When problems arose in the team, it was his responsibility as the leader to give necessary reminders.

Fortunately, he not only has the experience in managing a team and sufficient experience, but also has a sufficient sense of crisis because of his greater understanding of horse racing and horse racing girls.

Whether it is horse racing or horse racing girls, the most attractive thing is precisely the uncertainty of the competition, which is also the source of his sense of crisis.

It is not uncommon to see upsets in horse racing, and this is also reflected in Uma Musume.

For example, in the game, no matter how well prepared you are during the development, no matter how good the horse girl's mood is, no matter how overwhelming her abilities are, no matter how comprehensive her skills are, there is no such thing as a 100% guarantee of victory.

A single moment of "game anxiety", or being "surrounded by opponents and unable to rush out", or being affected by an unexpected "gatekeeper" with a "negative state" skill, the game may be lost.

He had seen many such matches in another world, and had suffered cerebral congestion countless times in the game due to such situations. He did not want to encounter such a thing in the reality of this world.

This is why he always considers his next move no matter what the circumstances are, and why he has lingering worries.

…I don’t know when this mentality will end, but maybe it won’t end until the better Uma Musume world of my dreams arrives. Anyway…

Looking at the increasingly serious expressions of his like-minded companions in front of him, Kitahara nodded secretly.

No matter how well everything is going right now, it is definitely not a reason to relax.

After thinking about it, he was about to go on to talk about the specific arrangements for the subsequent training when he suddenly heard a sigh with a smile coming from a little further away.

"Wow, I heard the Eternal Chief giving a speech right after I got here. He's quite impressive."

Subconsciously looking in the direction of the teasing voice, he saw two smiling horse girls appear in the direction of the warehouse door.

The one with long brown hair, one hand on his waist, and blue eyes curved into crescents is Maruzenski.

Mejiro Kagau, with his arms folded and his head slightly tilted, has a thoughtful look in his black eyes.

"you……"

Kitahara was a little surprised at the appearance of this pair.

Before traveling to Hokkaido, these two legendary horse racing girls had become members of the newly formed department of the Student Union under the arrangement of Yayoi Akikawa, specifically responsible for assisting the training of the college team.

Of course, Maruzenski had actually already done this, and this arrangement was a confirmation of the specific work for her, while Mejiro Takamine had recently arrived to assist.

Before coming to adapt to the new equipment today, Kitahara asked them over the phone if they wanted to come together, and the reply they got was that they had some student union affairs to deal with in the morning and could come later.

After waiting for them for the whole morning without seeing any sign of them, Beiyuan thought he would meet them in the afternoon, but he didn't expect them to come here suddenly.

But he was only surprised for a moment, then he started laughing.

"I was just summarizing the morning training and giving a little lecture."

After explaining what just happened, he asked again in confusion: "Why are you here now? It's already dinner time, didn't you go to the cafeteria?"

"I was on my way to the cafeteria, and when I talked to Gao Feng about you guys, I came here first."

Walking over here, Maruzenski responded with a smile, and then looked at the wind tunnel equipment curiously, "So this is how it is used. It seems that my previous guess was right. We are indeed going to go in for a run."

As members of the "Team Joint Department", they were arranged to assist Nagase first. During the previous equipment installation process, Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine had already seen the five "pipes" in the warehouse and guessed their specific uses.

Seeing that the usage was roughly the same as what he had guessed, Maruzenski showed an interested look and took the arm of Mejiro Takamine beside him.

"How about it, Gao Feng? Do you want to go up and try it out? It seems very interesting."

...Are you here to play?

Seeing Maruzenski's performance, Kitahara felt a little amused. After thinking about it, he felt that Oguruma and the others were about to finish their training, so it would be no problem to let the former try it, which would be convenient for subsequent training, so he prepared to speak.

However, Mejiro Takamine shook his head and pulled his arm away from his friend.

"I promised you I'd come and take a look, but I'm not here to play. If you want to play, go and play by yourself."

Having bluntly exposed Maruzenski's thoughts, she began to look Kitahara up and down.

"That's amazing. You have the courage to buy such expensive training equipment and have such a training idea. Why didn't I notice it when I saw you at home last time?"

As she spoke, she folded her arms, looked intriguingly, and began to circle around Kitahara.

"If you had shown this kind of talent the last time we met, you might not be able to leave the Mejiro household now."

When these words were spoken, not only Kitahara, but also Maruzenski and Komiyama were a little stunned.

"Hey? Gao Feng, what do you mean by that? Are you guys from the Mejiro family planning to put Kitahara under house arrest?"

Maruzenski said with amusement.

"House arrest? Don't put it in such a harsh way."

Faced with his friend's teasing, Mejiro Takamine shook his head and looked at Kitahara with a serious expression.

"What I mean is that with the ability he has shown now, maybe the clan leader will plan to recruit him as his wife."

If Kitahara happened to be drinking water at this moment, he would definitely spit it out.

But even without drinking the water, he was still shocked.

"What the hell? Me? Marry into the wife's family? Where? The Mejiro family?" He asked in surprise, pointing at himself, his face full of disbelief.

Komiya and others on the side were also stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, brother, I think this is a good idea."

The female's gossip talent was suddenly aroused, and Komiya-san smiled broadly. Just like Mejiro Takamine just now, she also half-circled around Kitahara, stroking her chin and spinning around.

"How should I put it, Senior Brother, your appearance is... okay. Not the type that you'd instantly recognize as a handsome guy, but you're still pretty good-looking."

"The main thing is that she has a nice figure. She is tall enough and has a good figure. She is still very eye-catching."

"Your abilities are beyond doubt. Brother, you are only in your twenties, right? You have already won so many games, including a G1 victory. This kind of ability is rare in the entire history of URA."

"I feel like I owe my current success to you."

"So..."

With a slightly malicious smile, she leaned over and nudged the dazed Kitahara's arm with her elbow.

"How about it, Senior Brother? Would you like to consider Commissioner Mejiro's suggestion and give it a try to marry into his wife's family?"

As she spoke, she winked at Miyamura Kyoko who was standing beside her, "Hey, sister Kyoko, don't you agree?"

Kyoko was originally covering her mouth and laughing, but when she heard this, she suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Uh, well... I've never been in a relationship before, so I don't really understand this kind of thing..."

She blushed in embarrassment, then thought for a moment and smiled, "But now things are a little different than before."

"Before our generation, public opinion didn't seem to support trainers and horse girls dating or getting married."

“But now, there seems to be no such saying.”

"So if Brother Kitahara has any ideas, I think it's still okay."

"Now we really don't have to worry about what the outside world says."

Maruzenski was just staring at Mejiro Takamine in a daze, as if she didn't understand whether her friend was joking or serious, but at this moment, she looked like she was enjoying the fun and was stroking her chin, looking at Kitahara and smiling intriguingly.

"It just so happens that Gao Feng and I are very familiar with this transformation process, and so is Lu Duo."

"Because the change in the relationship between trainers and horse girls and marriages can almost be attributed to Chiaki."

"Oh, to be precise, it was caused by Qianming's parents."

The spirit of gossip was burning, and the horse girl who "had experienced a lot" spoke in a mature tone.

"In the era of Chiaki's parents, the outside world was quite critical of trainers and horse girls having relationships."

"Her father is her mother's trainer."

"It was probably around the time of their retirement, or during their training and competition period? Anyway, they fell in love with each other over time."

"Then the public opinion at that time did not approve of such things, so her parents eloped, and then Xiao Qianming was born."

"Oh, there is such a thing?!" Komiya suddenly became curious. Kyoko also looked at him curiously. Komiya asked, "Then, what happened next? It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

"It must be nothing."

Maruzenski spread his hands and smiled, "If anything happened, it would be difficult for Qianming to participate in the competition, let alone the triple crown honor."

"If I remember correctly, Japan was very opposed to that marriage at the time."

"As a result, Qianming's grandmother came forward."

"Her grandmother was a horse racer at the Arc de Triomphe. You know the attitude towards the Arc de Triomphe and Europe here."

"That senior said that it's no big deal for a trainer and a horse girl to get married. It's not uncommon in Europe and America."

"If Japan doesn't welcome Chiming's parents and little Chiming, her grandmother will welcome them, and Chiming's family can just settle down in Europe."

"Under this background, the URA Association had to step in to divert public opinion and adjust some regulations. They were reluctant to let a horse girl with Chiaki's pedigree go to Europe."

"Plus, Chiaki later won the Classic Triple Crown, and the concepts of love and marriage for trainers and horse girls gradually became what they are now."

"So that's how it is. I've learned something new. I've learned something new."

After hearing some old gossip, Komiya and Kyoko looked satisfied. They couldn't help but look at Kitahara, and the former continued to tease:

"Hey, did you hear that, brother? You can fall in love and get married, between a trainer and a horse girl."

"Don't you have any ideas?"

As she spoke, she did not forget to encourage Yusuhara Taro, "Isn't it, isn't it, Brother Yusuhara, you also think it's okay, right?"

It seemed to be due to the atmosphere, the usually calm Taro Yusuhara couldn't help but joke at this moment.

"I don't think there's any problem."

He was obviously joking. Although his face was stern and he tried to look serious, his eyes were full of smiles.

"No matter what, it's the Mejiro family. It won't be a big problem even if Kitahara-san marries into the family."

"But if Brother Kitahara has some opinions on this title, I think maybe we can discuss it with the head of the Mejiro clan. With Brother Kitahara's strength, this aspect should be easy to discuss."

"It doesn't matter. The Mejiro family doesn't care whether you marry into the family or not."

Mejiro Takamine actually nodded, "Based on my understanding of the clan leader, as long as Chief Kitahara has this idea, anything can be discussed."

"If Chief Kitahara can agree, it won't be a bad thing for the Mejiro family no matter how you look at it."

"In terms of training and competition ability, Yongshi's current wins, winning rate, consecutive match rate and various data have proven his ability."

"What's even more amazing is that from the development of Hewan Enterprises, the cooperation between the team and Xizhen Company, and President Kurokawa's comments, we can see that Chief Kitahara not only has excellent training and competition abilities, but also has a first-class management philosophy."

"The clan leader has always told us that the development of a family or the entire Uma Musume world cannot be achieved by competition alone."

"Perhaps if there is only a lack of successors in one generation, the entire family will inevitably fall into decline."

"Coincidentally, the business philosophy can avoid this situation very well and also ensure the most basic development conditions when the worst happens."

"It just so happens that Chief Kitahara has this ability, so..."

"...Wait, don't continue."

After being in a daze for a while, Beiyuan finally came back to his senses and interrupted the topic with a very amusing look.

"Hey, hey, what are you guys talking about?"

"Why are we suddenly discussing the issue of whether or not to marry into the family so seriously?"

"Mejiro Takamine, are you really kidding? This kind of thing is not funny at all!"

At first he really thought Mejiro Takamine was joking.

Because this horse girl's personality is very similar to Maruzenski's, she is just more unpredictable than the latter, and it is difficult for people to guess what she is thinking.

Many people fall in love with this horse girl because of her elusive personality. In fact, before she became a legendary horse girl, there were already countless fan clubs established for her throughout Japan.

According to the fan clubs, Mejiro Takamine's awe-inspiring beauty and seductive manners simply have infinite magic that makes people unable to escape and willingly be captured by her.

It was precisely because he knew this that he thought the other party was joking.

But when the topic came to this point, seeing that Mejiro Takamine was still very serious, he couldn't help but believe that what the other party said was true.

"I have no intention of marrying into the wife's family. Frankly speaking, I am a male chauvinist. Don't expect anything from me in this regard."

He decided to find a way to end this topic. "Reputation is too complicated. I've never thought about it."

"I have never even considered falling in love with or getting married to a horse girl."

"All I think about and do every day is training and competition, and at most some business management, so please leave me alone for anything else, thank you."

"Eh? How could this happen, Brother? This is so boring..."

Komiya was suddenly disappointed, while Kyoko and Yuhara had wry smiles on their faces. However, after training with Kitahara for a long time, they actually knew the latter's character well.

What the latter do every day is indeed only training, competition and management, or they are on the way to do these things and rarely have time to rest.

The only real break I had was a trip a while ago, and it only lasted a few days.

It was actually difficult for Komiya and the others to imagine such a person falling in love, and that was why they were somewhat enthusiastic about this topic right now.

Another person who also understands Kitahara's character is Maruzenski. She has been in the Eternal World for quite a while and is quite familiar with the daily words and deeds of the trainers and horse girls there.

"Well, that's not a surprising answer."

Shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands, Maruzenski said with a smile: "What's this called? It's a word that horse girls in the academy often use to describe men when they are in love..."

"Oh yeah, straight man, right? I think that's the word."

"That's right, Senior Brother is a straight man!"

Komiyayama echoed with a look of inexplicable indignation, "Only a straight man would say something like that in this situation!"

"Yeah, it seems like I'm still pretty up to date with the latest trends."

Feeling happy for himself for keeping up with the times, Maruzenski looked at Mejiro Peak with a smile.

"So, facing this straight man, Gao Feng, do you have any ideas for persuading him?"

She thought Mejiro Takamine would patiently say a few more words, but the horse racing girl just shook her head indifferently in front of everyone's surprised looks.

"No."

She crossed her arms again and said calmly, "I knew he would probably give this answer."

"So what I just said was just a casual remark. Don't take it seriously."

...Wait?! This is really a joke?!

Kitahara was confused again.

Then all my efforts to explain just now are not...

Looks stupid?!
"Ah? Is this a joke? This..."

Komiya and the others were also surprised. Komiya said in astonishment, "But using the Mejiro family's reputation to make such a joke..."

At this time, Mejiro Takamine spoke again.

"I'm not kidding."

She seemed genuinely confused, and looked at everyone in confusion, "A casual remark is a casual remark, and a joke is a joke, the two are not the same thing."

"Master Patriarch, including me and many other horse girls of the Mejiro family, truly recognize Chief Kitahara."

"It is not impossible for the Patriarch to have such thoughts."

"But didn't Chief Kitahara just say that he hasn't thought about this kind of thing yet?"

"I also know that with Chief Kitahara's personality, he would most likely give that kind of answer."

“So I’m just talking casually.”

"Okay, that's about it."

She looked around and nodded toward the wind tunnel equipment.

"It's about time for Oguruma and the others to finish their training."

"Maruzen and I have also reviewed the situation."

"So, let's go to lunch together?"

Whether Mejiro Takamine's previous casual remark was a joke or not, Kitahara and the others still didn't figure it out until they had dinner.

However, at lunch, the topic at the table had turned to the training issue that had been discussed earlier.

As usual, Xiaolimao and a group of big eaters booked several dining tables, one table for eating and the others for storing food.

On Kitahara's side sat the members in charge of training.

"I see. According to what I learned from Gao Feng, and what I felt during the parallel running training, Oguruma and the others do not have any urgent problems to deal with right now."

Maruzenski mused, "With their current abilities, they have a high chance of winning most games."

“Even with big prizes like the G1 and Japanese Derby, the winning rate is not very low.”

"If those long-term problems can be solved quickly, they basically won't face too difficult games. Even if they can't be solved quickly, it won't affect their current state."

"at most……"

She thought for a moment and said, "At most, these problems will have a significant impact in front of certain opponents."

"For example, the treatment of Tama and Inari at the Emperor's Spring Viewing is different."

As experienced horse girls, Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine quickly understood the current situation of the Eternal Team. After listening to their friend's analysis, Mejiro Takamine pondered for a moment.

“The territorial issues of Aldan and Little Bay are, in my opinion, the easiest to resolve.”

Holding a lock of black hair around her neck, the horse girl thought: "They are only one step away from reaching that stage."

"I have watched Aldan grow up, and I know what the domain is. Before coming to the Eternal World, I considered practicing with her in private. If the pressure is enough, she can definitely enter the state of the domain."

"The situation over at Little Bay is similar. I don't know her that well. Maruzen should be able to help her get to that point."

"That's no problem. I'm sure about it." Maruzenski nodded in agreement.

"Regarding the way your field is triggered..."

After listening to the opinions of the two legendary horse girls, Kitahara thought for a moment and said, "I have a question."

"It's not a question of your ability, but a question of the result of this triggering method." He added an explanation and continued:
"I wonder if the areas you help trigger will be different from what they are naturally good at?"

"Is there a difference?" Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine asked in unison and then looked at each other.

"It should be... unlikely."

Maruzenski frowned, "Whether it's the past or the Uma Musume who have mastered their fields like us, there's no such thing as being good at multiple fields."

"Why do you think so?" She looked at Kitahara in confusion, and so did Mejiro Takamine.

Kitahara hesitated.

He had vaguely thought about the idea of ​​mastering multiple fields a long time ago, or to be more precise, it was when he confirmed that "field" was related to "inherent skills".

Now that he heard Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine clearly state that, when conditions are ripe, the horse girls who have already mastered the field can assist those who are about to enter the field, he could hardly help but have a guess.

Can Uma Musume’s “territory” be “inherited”?

"Inheritance" is a setting in the mobile game.

Before the entire development process begins, players can choose two already developed horse girls as "inheritance factor objects."

During the development stage, Uma Musume can trigger the "Three Goddesses Event" in April of the second and third years of school.

In this event, there is a certain chance that the "inherited skills" of the first two horse girls selected will be "inherited" by the horse girl being trained.

In other words, once the inheritance is successful, the cultivated horse girl will have up to 3 "inherent skills", that is, 3 "ultimate moves".

The "inherited" "inherited skills" are naturally powerful when used by the horse girl herself without her choice, but the "ultimate move" is the "ultimate move". In many competitions, the winners are the horse girls who have mastered 3 "ultimate moves" and used them all in one breath, crossing the finish line like flying to win.

For example, in the game, Oguri's own "inherent" move is to start 200 meters from the finish line, while Mejiro Takamine's move is to start with about 1000 meters remaining in the race, and Maruzenski's move is after entering the final bend, which is about 400 to 600 meters.

So if Oguruma in the mobile game inherited the "inherent" "endurance" and "intelligence" attributes of Mejiro Takamine and Maruzenski, and if her "endurance" and "intelligence" attributes met the standards, when she reached 1000 meters in a race, she would maintain an extremely terrifying speed throughout the rest of the race.

Kitahara certainly hopes that the concept of "inheritance" can also exist in this world.

In that case, once the horse girls in his team mastered multiple "fields", he couldn't imagine that at that point, apart from winning against each other, they would not be able to lose when facing other opponents.

But Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine's words clearly indicated that they had never heard of such a situation, at least not now, so he could only suppress this thought.

“It just feels like a possibility.”

After thinking for a while, he explained: "After all, the way we triggered the field before was based on the actual situation of the game between Oguruma and the others."

"If Maruzen and Takamine were to trigger it, I think it might be a little different."

“…It seems to make some sense.”

Maruzenski and Mejiro Takamine looked at each other and said cautiously, "After all, it was you, Kitahara, who first discovered the active triggering of the domain."

"More importantly, this is unheard of, but you did it."

"Perhaps, mastering the fields of other horse girls... is it really possible?!"

She finally got excited, "Okay, Gao Feng and I will confirm this during the next training. Leave it to us."

Kitahara had exactly the same idea, and he knew very well why Maruzen was so excited, and why Mejiro Takamine, Komiyayama and others were moved.

The domain is already strong enough, and if she can really master more than one, it will definitely mean something extraordinary to Uma Musume.

Triggering a field was originally unheard of, but now that Beiyuan had done it, the entire Eternal World team was inevitably full of expectations about his guess.

However, Kitahara was only excited for a moment and then continued talking.

Because as the team leader, he has more things to consider.

"Komiyama, Yusuhara, we talked about Tama's situation before. It would be best to model it through a horse girl with the same bloodline and sufficient talent, right?"

Hearing him suddenly change the subject, they were both stunned, and Yuyuan reacted first.

"Yes, that's right. This is a relatively cutting-edge research."

He explained: "It was mainly a study done in Germany. They found that some historical research could not be carried out by only taking data from a horse girl who had already become a regular character. That's when they thought of career modeling."

"If we follow this line of thought, if we can find a suitable little horse girl, this kind of thing..."

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly froze and looked at me with a look of disbelief.

"Wait, Kitahara-san, you haven't thought of a suitable horse girl, have you?"

"I have reason to believe that Senior Brother must have thought of it."

Xiao Gongshan was obviously suppressing his excitement, and looked at Beiyuan with sharp eyes, "After all, we have come all the way here, and Senior Brother has always been able to go one step further."

“Quick, quick, Senior Brother, don’t keep us in suspense. If there really is such a horse racing girl, then we should have a clue about Xiaoyu’s situation!”

Kitahara did not keep the person in suspense and quickly said a name, but when he said the name, his expression became unusually strange.

"Yes, there is, but...anyway...let's talk about it when we see it."

After hesitating for a moment, facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, he sighed and said slowly:

"Her name is Golden Ship."
