Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 208 It can’t be the breast size?

Kitahara was stunned for a moment before he realized that what Oguruma was talking about was the promise he made to motivate his students before the swimming training began.

"Ah, I'll take you out to eat something delicious alone..."

Kitahara smiled silently and thought for a moment, "Actually, if you really want to go around Nagoya, we can go there directly during our break."

"The training schedule before the game this time will be more compact. Considering that you need to get enough rest to perform well on the field, you, Xiao Haiwan and Aldan will be arranged to relax for half a day to a whole day before the game."

"We still have plenty of time. We can go to some famous snack shops in the afternoon or evening, or go shopping at the night market."

"Just don't eat any particularly irritating foods."

There is only one week left until the three Meitetsu Cup events, and the various special trainings currently underway are very intense.

This morning we will have a special swimming training to enhance our endurance so as to avoid the intense sunlight from midday to afternoon.

Swimming seems to be in water, but in fact, if the sunlight is too strong, especially in summer, the possibility of heat stroke is greater.

The water surface reflects light, and the skin receives more heat than on land.

Even with the sea water to cool down, the long hours of sunlight and fatigue from training are still likely to cause symptoms such as heat stroke.

Even if you are lucky enough not to get heatstroke, overexposure to the sun can still cause sun spots, acute dermatitis and other problems due to sunburn.

Therefore, swimming training in the past few days is basically arranged in the morning, and will only be considered in the afternoon when the weather is cloudy.

In the afternoon, beach running training is usually arranged.

After taking measures to prevent sunburn and heat stroke, run along the beach where the water can wash over it to avoid sunlight reflecting off the water surface and reduce the possibility of discomfort.

The waves will also lower the temperature of the sand surface, further avoiding various fatigue and discomfort during training.

The waves that constantly wash over the beach can also provide more resistance. Training in such an environment can effectively improve strength levels, and the stability and impact resistance of the lower body will also be improved.

Especially in this season, the high tide time in the sea near Nagoya is around 3 pm to 10 pm, which will make the intensity of afternoon training higher and higher due to the influence of the environment.

The Yongshi team has a full range of equipment, such as a wind tunnel that can theoretically simulate many environments.

However, for horse girls, the best training environment is still in a natural state with protective measures guaranteed. Only then can they fully display their natural running ability.

According to Kitahara's idea, even if Oguruma felt that he did not complete today's training very well, after such intense training, he could naturally eat whatever he wanted when he relaxed.

So after explaining a few sentences, he made some suggestions.

"So, after you finish training in the evening, you can take a look at the travel brochure provided by the resort, or ask the staff to see what good food and fun things there are in Nagoya, and choose a place in advance."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Or you can just come with me."

"When I was still in Kasamatsu, I often came to Nagoya to assist the development of Hewan Enterprises, so I am quite familiar with this place."

"The night view at Sakae Station is great. If you want to go see it first, I can take you there."

"If I remember correctly, although you also grew up in Kasamatsu, you never really had a good time in Nagoya. This time is a good opportunity for you to go there."

"Or we can have miso yakiniku, or hand-brewed coffee and omelette rice... Oh, you've had coffee and omelette rice, so you can have miso yakiniku."

"It's a pity that the Osu Night Market is not open now, otherwise we could go there. After all, it is a grand event that is only held twice a year in Nagoya."

“Of course, the night market is also very good.”

"Anyway, you can consider it."

Just like his training style, Kitahara also likes to be organized and planned in advance in his daily life.

He had not made any special preparations for visiting Nagoya.

However, after handling affairs here many times, if you pay a little attention, you can remember some of the more famous places and tourist attractions.

With the corresponding memory, he can now refer to the ideas of preparing for training and competition plans and organize them on the spot. This is not difficult for him.

Oguruma was naturally very familiar with this style of expression.

The swimming training in the morning did take up most of her energy.

At this moment, her voice was a little soft, and her body was limp on Beiyuan's back, completely different from her usual lively appearance.

But she still listened carefully to the trainer's words, and only laughed weakly after the latter finished speaking.

"Oh...it looks very interesting."

She said this a little excitedly, then quickly shook her head, "However, I agreed with Kitahara that if my performance today is better than Xiao Haiwan and the others, I will go out to eat delicious food with you."

"In the end, not only did I finish the training longer than them, but now they can all walk on their own, and I still want you, Kitahara, to carry them on your back."

“I feel like I have absolutely no strength left in my body.”

As she spoke, she shook her head tentatively, and her legs moved subconsciously, leaving two white shadows on both sides of Beiyuan with her white feet.

“That’s not a very good performance.”

As she evaluated herself, her tone did not sound discouraged, but rather confident.

"But in the afternoon running training, I feel like I won't lose to them."

"Although today's swimming training was very tiring, I also learned a lot of tricks."

"As long as I train for a few more days, I think I can catch up with Xiaowan, Aldan and Xiaoyu in swimming."

"in addition……"

She paused and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"If it's just me and Kitahara going out to eat something delicious, I always feel that it won't be good for Xiao Haiwan and the others. If possible, I'd like everyone to go out and play and eat together."

"Is this okay with you, Kitahara?"

"So that's what you think. There's nothing wrong with that."

Nodding with a smile, Kitahara continued, "It's okay to just go out and play alone. You don't have to think too much about it."

"Before, when I went to the Mejiro family, or took Xiao Haiwan to competitions and training, I would also go out to eat and play with them alone."

"Just like the time I took you to Hokkaido."

"So it's no big deal."

"Eh? It seems like that..."

Xiaolimao nodded blankly, then changed his tone to something strange, "Wait, if that's the case, then Kitahara, whenever you take a break, it seems to be a side job, right?"

"In this case, whether it's me, Xiaohaiwan and the others, or Xiaoyu and Inari, we can all go out and play after the training and competition."

"It seems that Komiya-san and the others are the same."

"But Kitahara, you usually take a break while you're on the way to work."

"If I really want to take a break, it seems that the only time I took a break was in Hokkaido... Well, that's not right."

She suddenly shook her head. "We said we were going on a trip, but we ended up in Hokkaido. We had a lot of fun and took a hot spring bath on the last day, except for the first day."

"The rest of the time, you're still doing things."

"First, I helped Xiao Te with his transfer and testing, and then I analyzed Xiao Yu's spring viewing competition with Emperor Inari."

"So I didn't take any special breaks, am I right?"

"That's true, but..."

Kitahara really wanted to scratch his head, but his hands were supporting Oguruma's thighs and he couldn't free his hands, so he could only shake his neck instead.

Then he smiled helplessly, "I guess that's what adult life is like. There are a lot of things to do." "Not only training and competition, but also team, industry, and some things with the academy and association."

"Anyway, a thorough rest shouldn't exist for someone like me."

"Then let's give it a try this time."

Oguruma responded quickly.

"Try it...?" Kitahara was stunned.

"Yes, before this competition."

As if he had recovered his strength, Oguruma suddenly nodded very vigorously, and Kitahara could even feel a heavy touch on his back.

"We just happened to be talking about Hokkaido."

"I remember I mentioned that my mother and I both like hot springs. We often visited one when we were in Kasamatsu's hometown. The people there are very familiar with us."

"Then after this training, it will be a day of rest before the competition. Kitahara, come with me to the hot spring."

"We'll have a good rest and then play well the next day."

"Is this a complete rest?"

"Besides, it's been a while since my mom came back after the Japan Derby, and Xiao Xiaoli and I haven't seen her for a long time."

"It's a good opportunity to meet you this time."

"When I get back from Kasamatsu, I can take her to watch my games."

A few months ago, in order to entrust the trainer's daughter and her adopted daughter, Roman Oguri, to Kitahara, and also to cheer for Roman Oguri, White Jewel went to Tokyo specifically.

Originally, the mother planned to stay until the end of the Classic Triple Crown before returning to Kasamatsu, but the entire Eisei team went to Europe some time ago and she did not go with them.

It just so happened that there were some things going on in Kasamatsu's hometown, so she came back from Tokyo first.

In fact, it has only been a month since they went to Europe, so the mother and daughter of Oguruma have not been separated for too long.

But as a daughter, one month seems like a long time, and it’s not something that’s hard to understand.

"I see, that's a good idea."

After thinking about it, Kitahara felt that Oguruma's idea would not affect training and competition preparations.

Especially chatting with mother and taking her to watch games, with the blessing of family affection, you may have a better performance.

So he quickly agreed: "Then let's do as you say."

Then he laughed and said, "It's funny, although I grew up in Kasamatsu, I've never been to the hot springs in my hometown."

"I'll leave it to Oguruma this time. I'm going to enjoy the hot springs in Kasamatsu."

"Yeah, yeah! It's settled then."

Oguruma seemed to have completely recovered his strength and spirit, and his tone became lively as usual, "And if you are taking a break this time, Kitahara, don't bring any work matters with you."

“I remember my game was in the afternoon.”

"In this case, we can go back to Kasamatsu to soak in the hot springs the day before and get a good night's sleep. Then we can have plenty of time to come back the next day."

It seems that he has been influenced by Kitahara for a long time. He often stays with people like Kitahara who are used to arranging everything properly. When Ogurimao plans familiar things, he seems to be able to do it well.

Hearing this, Kitahara couldn't help but find it interesting.

"No problem, I'll do whatever you say. I won't bring any work stuff with me that day."

After saying this, he suddenly felt that Kurumi was about to fall off his back. He subconsciously let go and soon saw his horse girl walking towards him from behind.

"Yeah! It's a deal."

He nodded vigorously to confirm again, and seeing his trainer nod seriously, Ogurtica smiled even more happily.

Then her eyes moved and her attention quickly shifted.

"Oh! We're at the dining area!"

"Let's eat! This diet is so uncomfortable. I feel like I'm starving to death!"

“I must have a big meal today!”

So, after chatting all the way to the restaurant of the resort, Oguruma, who had not eaten for the whole morning, rushed to the dining table amid Kitahara's helpless look, his companions' amused expressions, and the astonished gaze of the restaurant staff.

Kitahara still values ​​Oguruma's idea. Since she is as enthusiastic about resting as ever, and he feels through analysis that it will not affect training and competition, there is no need to spoil her fun.

So in the next few days of training, he was very focused, striving to perform swimming endurance training, beach strength training, etc. to perfection, so that he could go to Kasamatsu Hot Spring without any worries.

He admitted that he was a workaholic, but being a workaholic did not mean that he did not expect to rest at all. It was just that compared to rest, work still came first.

The best arrangement is to complete the work thoroughly so that you can focus on having fun without distraction.

But when it comes to training, of course it is impossible for everything to be perfect.

The swimming and beach running were going really well.

With the assistance of Maruzenski, Oguri basically mastered the dog paddling technique within two days.

Although the posture has nothing to do with grace, the purpose of training is not to look good. As long as you can master the swimming technique and use it to improve your endurance, that will be enough.

Improving endurance is a long process. If there is no problem at the beginning, everything that follows can be expected.

Running on the beach was no problem at all. However, it was their first time running on a beach where it was difficult to put force on, so Xiaolimao and the others were indeed troubled for a while.

But this is very similar to swimming. Once you have mastered the details such as force techniques and balance, it will be easy to get into the right track.

The only problem is that the training of "domain inheritance" is not going smoothly.

It can even be said that there is absolutely no clue.

The plan was to have Maruzenski run side by side with the horse girl outside of the cove. The latter had already adopted the former's running habits in previous training and had accidentally mastered an area beyond her own talents.

Aldan adopted Mejiro-Gakko's running habits, and the corresponding field is also Mejiro-Gakko's.

The ideal result would be that by running side by side with Maruzenski, Aldan, Oguruma, Tamamo Cross, and Inariichi who is resting after the race, could all master areas beyond their own talents.

However, after a week of running, let alone mastering it, just in terms of habit, except for Xiaowan, the other horse girls seemed unable to fully accept some of Maruzenski's running details.

This made Kitahara very distressed and a little confused.

Could it be... related to "compatibility"?
There is a "compatibility" setting for the "inheritance of inherent skills" in the game.

Simply put, horse girls have a "suitability or not" status with each other.

If the inheritor runs a race when developing, such as the Classic Triple Crown, and the inheritor also runs the same race, the compatibility between the two will be very high.

The same applies to adaptability to running methods, venues, and distances.

This means that even though in theory all horse girls can inherit each other's "inherent skills", in the actual development process, the difficulty and effect of inheritance will be different due to differences in "compatibility".

This is easy to understand and operate in the game. You will understand the key after playing for a long time.

Or if you want to be lazy, you can just copy the guide and follow the mature development process step by step.

But in reality, what is the meaning of “compatibility”?
Could it be that running style, venue, distance, and past competition experience also affect “domain inheritance”?
Maybe it has something to do with body shape?
For example, height, weight...even chest circumference?

In that case, Maruzenski's figure seems to be closer to Xiaohaiwan's...

But the three goddesses couldn’t really be so evil…?
Kitahara was genuinely confused.
