Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 2: Oguruma's House

After finding the list he wanted, Kitahara did not stay in the academy for too long, but went there according to the home addresses on the list.

The statement of "taking over the world" sounds a bit childish, but it was indeed his idea, or some fantasy before he traveled through time.

Before traveling through time, he studied for his master's degree in business in Japan.

While studying abroad, he became interested in horse racing through the introduction of a good friend and learned a lot about it.

After graduation, he stayed in Japan by chance. His good friend inherited a ranch. It was also at the latter's invitation that he joined the ranch, where he was responsible for business operations and the organization of the horse racing club, turning his hobby into a career.

In his spare time, he also live-streams his work, horse-raising, horse racing and other daily life online. He also live-streams some horse racing-related games such as "Horse Racing Tycoon" and "Horse Derby", including "Uma Musume", a mobile game that is very popular among the Japanese people.

When just playing the game, Kitahara never thought that he would travel to the world of Uma Musume.

The setting of this world is exactly the same as the original, and the most famous "horse girl" has the same name as the "famous horse" in another world.

The horse racing industry in another world has become an idol star industry with a competitive nature in this world.

To put it simply, various outstanding horse racing girls compete in various events, from which an industrial chain of peripheral products, training, performances, stadiums and training grounds management is extended.

As a former ranch chairman and horse racing club president, Kitahara was no stranger to this worldview.

With these experiences, except for the huge difference between training "horse girls" and raising horses, the rest are "professional knowledge" for him.

As luck would have it, the body he traveled to happened to be that of a trainer who specialized in training “horse racing girls”, which filled in his knowledge gap in training “horse racing girls”.

Before traveling through time, Kitahara considered himself to be a diligent and capable person with clear goals, otherwise he would not have been admitted to graduate school, been noticed by his friends and entrusted with important tasks. So after traveling through time more than a month ago, he quickly had new goals in life.

"Now that I'm here, I'll make the best of it and become an excellent trainer."

If you want to be an excellent trainer, you naturally have to train excellent horse girls. So the first step to achieve your goal is to find an excellent horse girl.

If he really went to Soma, Kitahara would not have much confidence.

After all, he was good at business and interpersonal communication in the past, but he was a latecomer to horse racing and selection, so the horse selection was done by his good friends.

Although he had learned a lot from his surroundings, his vision was limited to selecting some outstanding local racehorses. If he was asked to select a good horse, he would not be able to see anything.

Fortunately, he had read a lot of relevant information and watched a lot of games and animations. He didn't know about the undiscovered famous horses, but he was familiar with those legendary and well-known racehorses.

The horse girls in this world, no matter whether they are famous now or not, happen to have those shining names, which is his most crucial golden finger.

As long as he roughly judged the timeline he was in and looked for the corresponding names, it would not be too easy for him to find some horse girls whose talents and achievements were not obvious yet but who would become famous in the future.

After much investigation over the past month, he chose just such a horse girl.

"Little chestnut hat".

In his career, he has won 33 championships, 22 runners-up and 6 season-end in 1 races. He is a legendary racehorse in Japan, one of the recognized "horse kings" in the industry and a "god" in the eyes of the people.

"It should be right here."

According to the address on the list, he took a bus from Kasamatsu Tresen College to the countryside, found an old residential area, and after several turns, he arrived at an old two-story apartment building. He went up to the second floor and checked the house number. Kitahara was sure that he had found the right place.

Ding dong, ding dong.

After pressing the doorbell twice, Kitahara withdrew his hand and looked around silently.

The timeline of this world is very confusing, and various details of life give people the illusion of time travel.

For example, people use the red and white game consoles from the 80s and 90s for daily leisure, but use 21st century smartphones as communication devices.

This means that when Beiyuan collects information, he needs to analyze it based on the information gap between the two worlds.

The whole apartment building in front of me has two floors, and there are a row of rental houses. They look old and cheap, probably in the style of the 20s and 80s. This matches the time when Oguruma was born in the other world. At that time, Oguruma was born in 90 and was active in the late 1985s.

Although the timeline of this world is not 1985, the active period of the horse racing girls is obviously in line with the timeline of another world.

In the late 80s, Neon alone had such famous names as Tamamo Cross, Inari Ichi, Golden City, Oguri Hat, Super Little Bay, Sakura Chiyoou, Mejiro Altan, Yae Invincible, Aotake Memory, and Dido Shooter.

There are also famous horses from abroad such as Tony Bianca, Ellesley Glory, Moonlight Madness, Obey the Benefactor, American Giant, Corsair Eagle, Kelly Room, Ibrahimovic and HollySmith that will come to participate in the Japan Cup.

This is an era where famous horses... no, it should be said that there are many talented horse racing girls.

So what will Oguruma, who is so dazzling even among all the stars, look like? Is it the same as in the games and anime?

Although he had never seen the prototype horse of Ogurume in person before traveling through time, Kitahara was still very clear about Ogurume's appearance through the game "Uma Musume". He was not worried that he would not be able to recognize the real horse girl after seeing her, but was full of expectations.

As Kitahara was reminiscing, the door of the house in front of him opened and a young woman came out.

To be precise, she is a horse racing girl who looks to be around 30 years old.

This horse racing girl has long silver-gray hair and a very beautiful appearance. There is some confusion in her expression, and her pair of long ears on top of her head are slightly folded back.

In another world, a horse's ears can express emotions, such as the "airplane ears" emotion.

People who are familiar with cats know that cats will put their ears out when they are unhappy. The same is true for horses. If a horse's ears are tucked back toward its neck, it means that it is in a very unhappy mood or is in a state of alert.

The same was true for the horse racing girl. The horse racing girl in front of him had her ears folded back, obviously wary of the strange young man outside the door.

Her tone was also very scrutinizing: "Oh, may I ask who you are..."

Kitahara quickly recognized that this was his little chestnut's mother, Shiraishu.

In another world, in addition to being the mother of Oguruma, White Stone was also a racehorse. She won 8 out of 4 races in her career and later retired due to a knee injury. Her overall career performance was pretty good.

The same is true in this world. In order to understand the Oguruma in this world, Kitahara read a lot of information, including the video of White Jewel's game that year.

"You must be Ms. White Jewel, right? Your heroic performance in winning three consecutive championships was truly outstanding." White Jewel's three victories were consecutive, and this kind of record is a source of pride for any horse racing girl. Kitahara mentioned this at the beginning. In addition to acknowledging this achievement, he naturally wanted to get closer to her.

At the same time, he reached into his bosom, pulled out his trainer ID, and handed it over with both hands:

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Kitahara Joi, a trainer at Kasamatsu Tresen Academy. Here's my ID."

"This is our first meeting, please take care of me."

Kitahara's opening remarks were very effective. Bai Baozhu's long ears stood up noticeably and his expression became much friendlier.

"So it's Mr. Kitahara. I didn't expect you to know such an old story." Her beautiful and dignified face showed a nostalgic expression, but her tone was very humble:

"My victory that year was entirely due to my trainer. I just ran hard and did nothing else."

"Ah, it's rude to talk at the door. Please forgive me... Mr. Kitahara, please come in."

Handing the documents back to Kitahara, White Jewel took a step back, smiled and gestured sideways.

Immediately, a look of worry suddenly appeared on her face.

"Also, it may be rude to ask so hastily, but you are Kasamatsu's trainer, and you came all the way to a place like the countryside..."

"Is Xiaolili causing trouble for others in the academy?"

"If so, I'll apologize on behalf of that kid first."
