Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 166 It's Worthy of Being a Golden Ship (8k)

After seeing the situation in front of the classroom clearly, Kitahara quickly recognized who the noisy little horse girls were.

The one sitting cross-legged on the roof, mumbling about receiving some "cosmic signal", is the Golden Ship.

This guy had a strange idea in the parallel world. He thought that the "ship" in his name meant "spaceship", and that he could also receive signals from the universe, and that he might even be a horse girl from outer space.

It seems that in this world, this guy also thinks the same way.

The one wearing a mask and complaining in front of the classroom, and the one pulling the teacher's trouser legs, the two little horse girls are Golden Master and All-rounder.

Kitahara had previously commissioned Maruzenski to find the kindergarten where the Golden Ship attended, and he had not deliberately sought to understand the specific situation here. Now that he discovered that these two little horse girls were also here, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Because in the future of another world, they are too famous.

黄金巨匠生涯21战12胜6亚，其中海外4战2胜，胜场里包括了日本经典三冠、2次有马纪念、宝冢纪念，亚军里则有着2次凯旋门大赏。

Even though they were the runner-up to Arc de Triomphe, Golden Master was only slightly at a disadvantage in the end, and many fans believed that their failure to win the championship was largely due to a last-minute replacement of generals in the camp, replacing Kenichi Ikeda, whose character was well known, with Su Minglun. Otherwise, they would still have a good chance of winning the championship.

Such a powerful racehorse naturally has a very loud reputation, but equally famous as this strength is the Golden Family’s iconic “eccentric personality”.

But for the Gold Master, this weirdness is simpler, that is, "bad temper".

Outside of competition, he made a lot of noise in the preparation area, tried to bite other horses, and crashed into surrounding facilities...

In competitions, he hates other horses running in front of him. When he loses his temper, he will run recklessly and charge diagonally. After winning, he threw the rider Kenichi Ikeda off his back and tried to "kill" the other horse...

This kind of behavior is commonplace for the Gold Master, which shows what his habits are.

Because of his powerful strength and iconic bad temper, fans have given him titles such as "Rampant Shogun" and "Angry Triple Crown Horse". Of course, the most famous title is "Golden Tyrant".

This is quite obvious in the original work.

The image of Golden Master's Uma Musume is designed as a "beautiful blonde girl with a mask". The mask is like a "seal". When wearing the mask, she can still complain normally like she did just now, but once she takes off the mask, it will be like the "seal is lifted", revealing her "tyrant" side.

It feels like a dual personality.

Compared to the typical "problem child" of the Golden Family, the other little loli Uma Musume Ichiro seems much quieter.

This horse girl is also extremely strong. She has won 22 championships and 6 runner-ups in 6 career races. Looking at the data on paper, she does not seem to be outstanding among the top players. However, the prototype horse scored 2014 points in the 130 world ranking, becoming the first Japanese racehorse to rank first in the world.

This rating is calculated by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities using a points system.

Before 2004, the scoring criteria were initially set based on the situations in the UK, France and Ireland, which was somewhat incomplete.

But by the time the scoring system was renamed World's Best Racehorse Rankings, WTRR, and the scores were further revised and adjusted in 2013, the overall standard had been widely recognized to a great extent.

而在另一条时间线里，日本赛马的得分排名前5分别是：神鹰的134分、春秋分的133分、一路通的130分、黄金巨匠的129分、神威启示的129分。

It can be seen from this that Yilutong’s strength is not only among the top in history, but also among the top in the world.

Kitahara was stunned for a while before he came to his senses after unexpectedly seeing two horse racing girls who would become world-class powerhouses in the future. When he came to his senses, he was stunned again.

Because the situation before me became even more inexplicable.

"Sister, you are so beautiful, can you play with Atong...?"

"Hey? Little sister, are you talking about me?"

"Wow! Atong, don't you like me anymore? Woohoo, I'm so sad. I want to run away from home!"

"Little Golden Boat, stop making trouble... Ah! Little Golden Boat, don't run away, the rooftop is very dangerous, come down quickly, stop quickly..."

"…Why is there such a stupid teacher? Why did you think of chasing Uma Musume? Afune is still young, but she is still Uma Musume."

Under Kitahara's stunned gaze, Xiao Yilutong, who had previously tugged at the teacher's trouser leg to ask her to look at him, suddenly came running over with a happy smile, without any shyness just now, and hugged Xiao Limao's thighs.

This seemed to make the Golden Ship on the roof dissatisfied or sad. That guy didn't know whether it was real or fake. He covered his eyes with his hands and ran away along the roof into the distance.

The teacher in front of the classroom might have just taken office for a short time, and was a little overwhelmed by the situation. In a panic, he even wanted to chase after the little golden boat.

But she was stopped by the little golden master who was wearing a mask and had a pair of contemptuous eyes.

Then, the masked horse racing girl rolled her eyes, pulled the teacher's trouser leg with one hand, and reached behind her head with the other.

“Of course, the only one who can catch up with Uma Musume is Uma Musume, so let me… eh?”

Suddenly he found his hand was grabbed. The Golden Master was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw Kitahara's wry smile.

"Well, if you want to take off your mask and chase the golden ship, forget it..."

Seeing the little horse girl's actions, it seemed that she was about to take off her mask. Kitahara, who had a bad feeling about the situation, smiled bitterly and persuaded her, then looked to his side.

"Little Chestnut Hat, you..."

He originally wanted to let Oguruma chase the golden ship, but he found that this horse racing girl was touching Xiao Yilu's head with a doting look on her face.

"Oh, this child is so well-behaved and cute, just like Xiao Xiaoli... eh?"

Touching Xiao Yilutong's head, Xiao Limao's ears moved and he looked at him in surprise, "Kitahara, did you just say anything?"

"…Nothing, just have fun with the two of you."

With a sigh, Kitahara waved his hands helplessly at Ogurumao and Ichirōtong, and complained secretly.

…It seems that in this world, Yi Lu Tong is also obsessed with Lu Mao, and the Golden Ship also has a good impression of this little guy…

What’s this? Have all the lesbians been trained since childhood?

Historically, although Golden Ship was not as bad-tempered as other horses in the family, he also had a strange personality and a strong aura. In addition, his unusually tall physique made it easy for him to scare the surrounding horses, even the ancient horses.

However, when facing Yi Lu Tong, a quiet, obedient and steady racehorse, the Golden Ship becomes unusually quiet, and Yi Lu Tong is also very close to the latter.

However, Yi Lu Tong is close to all the reed-haired horses.

Therefore, there is a rumor that Huangjincheng likes Yilutong, but Yilutong likes all reed-haired horses.

It just so happened that Ogurimao was of Ashima's descent, so Kitahara felt that the golden ship and Yilutong in this world were the same as the rumors.

"Maruzen, please go chase that little horse girl."

After letting Oguruma accompany him all the way, Kitahara turned to Maruzenski on the other side for help, "That's the Golden Ship. Judging from the speed at which she was running around on the roof just now, I'm afraid only Oguruma and you can catch up with her..."

He had just said half of the sentence when Maruzenski nodded and was about to leave, but the horse racing girl became unhappy.

"Hey! Who are you looking down on, uncle?!"

With a snap, he slapped away Kitahara's hand and glared at him in dissatisfaction, "It's true that Ah Chuan runs very fast, but there are more than just these two big sisters who can catch up with her!"

She quickly pointed at Maruzenski and Oguruma, then suddenly straightened her chest and put her hands on her hips.

"Can I catch up too?!"

Then he pointed at Yi Lu Tong who was playing the "head patting play" with Xiao Li Mao and said, "Xiao Tong can do it too!"

Then he pointed in the direction of another classroom, "The Lady and Jifeng are also OK, right?!"

"So who are you looking down on, uncle?!"

She folded her arms and raised her head, her purple eyes above the mask almost rolling up to her head.

"...I don't look down on anyone, kid..."

For a moment, Kitahara felt that perhaps when Kenichi Ikeda faced the Golden Master, he was almost as troubled and helpless as he was now.

At the same time, he was somewhat surprised.

Of course he knew that in terms of speed, the Golden Master and Yi Lu Tong here could not be weaker than the Golden Ship. He asked Maruzenski to take action simply because he thought it would be faster.

What surprised him was that in addition to the three horse racing girls he saw at that moment, there were actually masters in this kindergarten.

The Golden Master mentioned Lady and Jifeng, one of them is a triple crown female, the Japan Cup champion, two-time Japan Horse of the Year, and seven G1 wins. Although the other one’s winning record is not satisfactory, the problem is that its opponent is Lady. It has lost to her in six consecutive encounters, but it cannot be said that she is not strong.

…What the hell? I know this Umamusume kindergarten is the best in Tokyo, but it’s really unexpected to see so many “famous horses” all at once…

Although he had not expected this information, with his previous experience, Kitahara quickly came to his senses and thought secretly:
Maybe if you have time later, you can come here more often? Especially the elementary school over there...

However, he quickly collected his thoughts, coughed dryly, and explained seriously to the dissatisfied golden master.

"I really don't look down on anyone. I believe that you, Xiaotong, and the noble lady you just mentioned, Jifeng, and Xiaojinchuan, you are all excellent horse racing girls."

"In the future, you will surely achieve glory that will shock the entire world."

"Oh, that's reasonable. I forgive you then."

The little adult folded his arms and nodded. The little golden master even patted Kitahara's thigh in all seriousness, then pointed at himself with his thumb.

"Come with me, I will take you to find Ah Chuan."

"Looking for Ah Chuan? She is not..."

After a moment of shock, Bei Yuan looked up subconsciously and realized that the golden ship had disappeared due to the delay.

Maruzenski on the side also held his forehead with helplessness.

"She ran so fast. I could see her just now, but now she's gone."

She said with some amusement: "But, as expected, they are the sisters of the Golden Journey. This kind of personality... well, this speed is really fast."

Originally, she wanted to say "This kind of personality is really a headache", but the Golden Master was still beside her, so she coughed dryly and changed her words.

"Oh, you know Sister Journey, so I'll help you even more."

Upon hearing the name of Golden Journey, the Golden Master actually showed a little fear in his eyes, and then he started muttering to himself.

"I just said I was going to spank Ah Chuan, I just wanted to scare her."

"But if Sister Journey knew that she was so naughty again, she would really hang her up and beat her."

"Maybe I'll be in trouble too."

"No more talking. Let's go. Every time Ah Chuan says he's running away from home, he's definitely going to those places. I'll take you to look for them."

"Hey, Atong, do you want to come with us?"

Although she was still young, this horse racing girl acted in a mature manner and talked to herself. After saying a few words, she put her hands in her pockets and staggered towards the direction of the kindergarten without caring whether others followed her or not.

"Hey? Do you want to go find Ah Chuan? I want to go too."

Hearing the voice of the Golden Master, Xiao Yilutong, who was still playing the "head and face rubbing play" with Xiao Limao, said something quickly, then held Xiao Limao's hand with a happy look on his face.

"Sister, sister, let's go play hide-and-seek with Ah Chuan, but she's very stupid and only knows how to hide in a few places. It's easy to find her."

"Hide and seek? This... Kitahara?"

After being led by Xiao Yilutong and walking two steps forward, Xiao Limao finally reacted. He tilted his head in confusion and looked at Beiyuan with a questioning look.

"You go over there with these two children first."

After thinking for a while, Kitahara nodded to Oguri and responded, then looked at Maruzenski, "Maruzen, you go over and take care of him too."

"I will briefly explain the situation to this... uh, this teacher." He finally looked at the teacher who was still standing there at a loss, like the computer had crashed.

After Maruzenski followed Oguruma and the others deeper into the kindergarten, he approached the teacher.

"Hello, although there was a bit of confusion just now, it was still a bit rude that I didn't introduce myself in time."

Reluctantly adding, he continued, "My name is Kitahara Ryo, and I'm a trainer at Central Tresen Academy."

"The two people just now, one is the vice president of the Central College Student Union, Maruzenski, and the other is my horse girl, Oguruma."

"We want to talk to the parents of the Golden Ship. We want to ask this kid for help with something regarding training."

After briefly explaining his purpose, Kitahara waited patiently for a while.

He almost felt that the teacher in front of him was still very dedicated and responsible, but he obviously lacked teaching experience, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a chaotic scene just now, and he wouldn't have subconsciously wanted to chase Uma Musume.

In addition, not everyone can handle the Huang Jin family's personality problems, so he is now waiting for the teacher to react.

“…Ahhh—I’m so sorry! Kitahara-san, right? No! Hello, Kitahara-senpai! My name is Junko Hosoe, and it’s our first meeting. Please take care of me!”

The female teacher finally came to her senses and after a panicked scream, she hurriedly bowed and introduced herself, then added in a panic:

"I, I'm actually here to do social activities at the kindergarten. I'm actually a student at the trainer academy." "This is our academy's social activities homework. We have to come to the Saima Musume Kindergarten and Saima Musume Primary School to interact, exchange and communicate with the Saima Musumes. This will help with our future trainer career."

After a quick explanation, she came closer with shining eyes and grasped Kitahara's hand.

"I-I wanted to become a trainer because I watched the TV anime and decided that trainers were awesome. Then I saw your and Nase-senpai's outstanding achievements, so... eh?"

She finally noticed Kitahara's strange expression and was a little surprised.

"… Am I too enthusiastic? I'm so sorry, Kitahara-senpai, I… this… you are my idol, and I was so busy taking care of the little horse girls at first that I didn't notice you. I'm so sorry!"

She bowed again.

...This kindergarten is really full of all kinds of unimaginable characters...

Kitahara knew who the person in front of him, Junko Hosoe, was, but he never expected to meet her here.

In another world, the opponent is a former rider of the Japan Central Racing Association, and a classmate of Fukunaga Yuichi and Wada Ryuji. This group of students at the racing school was called the "Twelfth Class of Flowers". After graduation, he debuted with Makihara Yukiko, Tamura Shinki and others.

She is also very strong and is the first Japanese female rider to win an overseas competition.

Later, due to injury, she retired as a rider and switched to being a horse racing commentator, often serving as a guest commentator at competitions.

She was the narrator of the Takarazuka Memorial performance of the Golden Ship's "121 billion yen high-kick", and she contributed unforgettable screams both at the scene and in the anime.

Since he had met many unexpected characters in this kindergarten, Kitahara quickly recovered from his state of shock when he learned that the "female teacher" in front of him was actually Junko Hosoe who made a "guest appearance".

"You're welcome, Miss Hosoe."

Beiyuan smiled and nodded, thinking for a moment, "I should have explained the purpose of your visit clearly just now."

"President Maruzen and Oguruma and the others should have found the golden ship as well. I'm planning to go over and take a look."

"You should still take care of these children here, so I'll leave you now."

His original intention was to explain the situation to the other party. After all, no matter how "temporary teacher" he was, he still had the responsibility to take care of the children. It would be very rude to leave without saying anything.

"I-Is that so? Okay, Kitahara-senpai, you just go ahead and do your work. I can handle this here!"

Said very nervously, Junko Hosoe quickly thought of something, "Oh, right! The dean told me about your situation and some arrangements."

"The original plan was that after school, I would bring Little Golden Boat to wait for you to come over, and also wait for her grandfather to pick her up."

"That way you can communicate directly with her parents."

"only……"

She smiled bitterly, "That child's personality... Well, anyway, after I told her about this, she seemed very unhappy. She agreed to it in person, but as soon as I turned my head, she ran upstairs while I wasn't paying attention."

"This is also my fault, alas..."

After sighing twice, the woman's mood suddenly became depressed.

"The character of the Golden Family's horse girl is indeed a bit of a headache..."

Knowing how funny the Golden Ship was, Beiyuan expressed sympathy, and then said, "Then the Golden Ship's grandfather should be Mr. Jinlang Longli, right?"

Kitahara was not sure why Golden Master, Ichi-Tsuji, and Junko Hosoe were attending this kindergarten, as he had not specifically looked up relevant information before.

However, he still found out a lot about the Golden Ship. In this timeline, her grandfather was Jinlang Longli.

In another world, this old man was the stable boy of the Golden Ship and the person who had the best relationship with the Golden Ship.

The weirdness of the Golden Ship prototype horse is actually a manifestation of high IQ. The average intelligence level of a normal racehorse is roughly equivalent to that of a 3 to 4 year old human, but the Golden Ship has an IQ equivalent to that of a 7 or 8 year old child.

Their various funny behaviors are actually exactly the same as children's love of playing.

Jinlang Longli was the first to discover this. He said that Golden Ship just wanted to play with other horses and humans. If they didn't play with him, Golden Ship would get angry, so he would play with them patiently.

It is precisely because of this patience that Golden Ship would get angry and lose his temper with other horses and people, but would never do so to Jinlang Longli.

"Yes, it's Senior Jinlang Longli!"

Nodding heavily, Junko Hosoe affirmed, "The senior is an excellent trainee and has been in the position for thirty or forty years."

"I want to wait for the senior to come and bring Little Golden Boat to see Senior Kitahara, because Little Golden Boat will only behave well in front of the senior and won't play around."

"Alas, it's just that I was too impatient. I told Xiao Jinchuan about this matter before the old senior came over. That's why she got angry for no reason. It's really..."

"That's not a temper tantrum. If it's Xiao Jinchuan, she probably wants to do something eye-catching so that Chief Kitahara can notice her."

Junko Hosoe was halfway through her words when an old voice came closer from afar.

"Haha, that girl is very smart. She knows that Chief Kitahara is a great trainer, and she also wants to be an outstanding horse girl."

"So, knowing that she would be meeting the trainer, she caused you so much trouble, Xiaoxijiang."

Hearing the voice, Kitahara and Junko Hosoe were both stunned, and then they quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

From the direction of the kindergarten gate, an old man wearing a black baseball cap and a black jacket was seen walking slowly with his hands behind his back.

The old man looked to be in his 50s, but he didn't have many wrinkles on his face. His short stubble and short hair were also graying, but he didn't look very old and looked energetic.

"Hello, Senior Jinlang, I'm Kitahara Ryo, nice to meet you, please take care of me."

"Senior Jinlang! The little golden boat ran away again..."

Seeing the old man, Kitahara and Hosoe Junko greeted him in unison, while Imami Ryuri smiled gently.

"Don't worry, Xiao Xijiang, I know where she is, so you don't have to worry, just take care of the other children."

Nodding towards Junko Hosoe, the old man continued to laugh, took one of his hands out from behind his back and waved it towards Kitahara, "Chief Kitahara, let's go find the little golden boat."

Upon hearing this, Junko Hosoe quickly agreed, and Kitahara nodded and followed.

Jin Lang Longli did not delay for anything. He turned around to look around and walked straight in one direction.

Kitahara was a little surprised now, because the direction chosen by the other party was completely different from the direction that Golden Ship, Oguruma and the others had left before.

"Uh, old man, the little golden boat seemed to have gone in that direction just now..." He couldn't help but point his finger.

“That, hehe…”

He resumed his posture of walking slowly with his hands behind his back. Jinlang Longli smiled and said confidently, "Don't worry, Chief Kitahara, what should I say..."

He pondered for a moment.

"I'm familiar with all the children of the Huang Jin family, but the one I'm most familiar with is Little Jinchuan."

"It's strange, isn't it? I seem to know what this child is thinking, whether I have seen her or not."

"So, even though I haven't seen the little golden boat yet, this tells me that she must be where I think she is."

He smiled and tapped his temple to indicate that he was talking about his mind.

...So your communication with the Golden Ship is really based on some cosmic signal? She just said she was sensing you when she received the signal?

Beiyuan felt a little amused and helpless. At that moment, he felt that this old man and this child might really have some kind of telepathy.

"Okay, then listen to you."

Nodding in agreement, he thought for a moment and decided to tell the other party about his plan.

"The director of the kindergarten and the Central College should have told you why I came here. Let me explain it a little more..."

After briefly explaining the situation of Tamamo Cross, the research ideas of Ashigao bloodline, and the training that Oguruma would conduct next, he said sincerely:
"According to our team's previous discussions, these training arrangements will go quite smoothly if we can have the help of the Little Golden Boat."

"The child is still young, so we still need your permission as a parent."

"What do you think?"

"I'm fine."

In response to Kitahara's request, Jinlang Longli agreed immediately. Then, he murmured, "Although I am not a trainer, I have been doing training for so long and have seen many trainers."

"I have had contact with your uncle and those who were his contemporaries, such as Naise Hideto, Di Ye Yixing, and Yusuhara Ryuko."

"I also know the newcomers now, such as Chief Kitahara, Komiyayama, Yusuhara Taro, and Eito's daughter."

"So even though I'm not a trainer, I can still see what's important."

"The kind of research that Chief Kitahara mentioned using bloodlines has been done before, but those studies were only used to distinguish which bloodlines run fast and which run slow."

He suddenly revealed a somewhat sarcastic smile, "But what kind of bloodline runs fast? Those mediocre people have studied it for so long, but in fact, they have found nothing."

"For example, in the past, people said that Lumao bloodlines can't run fast. That's what those mediocre people call research."

"As a result, Chief Kitahara, your team of Oguruma and Tamamo Cross are both of Ashima bloodline, but one is the strongest in the Classic Year and the other is the strongest in the Ancient Horse Year. How do you explain this?"

"Besides, I believe that Little Golden Boat will become an outstanding racehorse girl in the future. She is also of Lumao descent. Is it possible that all my years of experience have been wasted? Am I being dazzled?"

"That's why I say that those who come to such research conclusions are mediocre people."

Shaking his head and sighing, he looked at Kitahara expectantly, "Chief Kitahara, your research is different. I have read a lot of research by you and your team."

“A lot of the content sounds the same as before, but it’s actually completely different.”

"For example, when you study bloodlines, you want to enable all bloodlines to realize their full potential, rather than categorizing them into superior and inferior. This is the right direction, and it is beneficial to the future of horse racing women."

“So, I strongly agree with your idea.”

After expressing his thoughts, he suddenly patted his forehead apologetically.

"Alas, once I talk about this kind of thing, I can't help but say too much. Please don't be offended, Chief Kitahara."

Beiyuan naturally didn't have any strange thoughts, he just nodded respectfully.

"Old man, just call me by my name. Calling me Chief is too polite."

He smiled and said, “What you said just shows that you have been paying attention to horse racing ladies. That’s why you have such clear and long-term views.”

"I think so too. If we can draw some conclusions from this study on the Little Golden Ship, Tamamo Cross, and Ogururi Hat, then we may have a clear direction on how to tap the potential of all horse girls."

"I'm looking forward to that day."

Hearing this, Jinlang Longli nodded in agreement with a smile, "I'm looking forward to it too."

"Then let's go find that little guy as soon as possible."

Beiyuan had always thought that since they knew so much about the Golden Ship, neither he nor Jinlang Longli would have any strange feelings about this guy's weirdness.

But he was wrong. The only one who was truly calm about the golden ship was the old man himself.

After he followed others and saw the golden ship at this moment, he was completely stunned.

Somehow this guy managed to bury himself completely in the soil, leaving only the hat on his head and a pair of long ears swaying in the wind.

"...Xiao Jinchuan, what are you doing..."

After finding this "Golden Ship Buried in the Grounds" with Imami Ryori in a very remote corner of the kindergarten, Kitahara was stunned for a long time before he spoke with difficulty to ask.

As a result, he was interrupted by muffled sounds coming from the soil just when he was halfway through his speech.

"I'm not the little golden boat, I'm a carrot. How can you talk to a carrot? You're so weird."

"...You are the weird one, right? How can a carrot talk?" Kitahara was confused by the golden ship for a moment, and his mind subconsciously started thinking about the "golden ship".

"Oh, yes, carrots can't talk..."

After replying in a muffled voice, "The Golden Ship Buried in the Soil" suddenly became a little angry, "broke out of the ground" all of a sudden, shook off the mud on his body, and shouted at Kitahara.

"Ah, you are such a nasty person! You actually tricked an underage Uma Musume into talking while pretending to be Radish. I'm going to report you to the URA Association!"

As she spoke, she seemed unsatisfied and groaned for a while. Suddenly, a helper rushed over and crossed her legs in mid-air.

"Before you report me, kick me first!"
