Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 244 This is the beginning of my undefeated streak, President!
It is customary for commentators to check the game replay to confirm the final result of the relay race, but the audience at the scene could no longer contain their noise and joy of congratulations.

Outside the guardrails, a group of people who had watched the entire relay race under the scorching sun of a summer afternoon not only did not look tired, but instead tried to rush onto the track as if they had excess energy.

If Akikawa Yayoi had not arranged enough staff and the temporary guardrails were not strong enough, they would have rushed onto the track long ago.

Even if they didn't make it to the track, their efforts to crowd forward and dance showed their excitement.

They shouted meaningful or meaningless names or expressed excitement, and waved all kinds of banners, small flags, flowers and ribbons in their hands. What made them so excited was, of course, the unexpected excitement brought by the entire relay race.

Against the backdrop of this hustle and bustle, the horse racing girls who continued to jog slowly along the track seemed to have calmed down, no longer looking like they were trying their best as before.

"Drink it...it feels so good...I've never felt so good before!"

The only one who was somewhat excited was the Emperor of the East China Sea, who had an unusually lively personality.

"I think I came in first? Maybe not... but anyway, it was an amazing race!"

"You mean it, right? That... Hey, you mean, you mean..."

Turning her head to look aside joyfully, she hesitated a little awkwardly.

"...Shirahito, Narita Shirahito."

Next to her was Narita Shirahito, who was walking slowly and wiping his cheek.

The sweat beads on the forehead spread along the lines of the cheeks, gathered at the chin and slowly dripped down.

Her body was covered in sweat, and her tight short-sleeved shirt and shorts were almost soaked. The wet clothes made her tight body lines more prominent.

She had used all her strength in the final sprint and didn't really want to say anything at the moment.

After rushing across the finish line with all her might, like the Emperor of the East China Sea, she had no idea who was ahead and who was behind. She just felt unprecedented fatigue.

But she found that the Emperor of the East Sea did not seem to remember her name. She hesitated for a moment, but could not help but whispered:
"Narita of Narita Airport, Bai of white, Ren of benevolence and righteousness..."

“Ahhh, that’s right! Bai Ren, the one I remember is Bai Ren-chan!”

The Emperor of the East China Sea covered up awkwardly by using the familiar name.

She actually couldn't remember Narita Shirahito's name. She hadn't paid much attention to him during the time they were training together.

In addition to the trainer, the symbol of Ludo, and the Mejiro McQueen who she has always cared about, she is also a little familiar with the most famous Chestnut Hat.

"Um, um, hahaha, I can't tell at all that you always like to be alone. I didn't expect you to be so strong!"

After covering up, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and changed the subject with a smile.

"If there's a chance in the future, let's have another exciting game like this, hehehe!"

"Uh... okay, but..."

Out of politeness, Narita Bairen stretched out his hand and shook hands with the Emperor of the East China Sea, then looked at the other's smiling face and shook his head slightly.

"Next time, maybe I won't be able to perform so well."

"Eh? How come...?"

The Emperor of the East Sea was stunned. "Bai Ren-chan was obviously running very well. In the final sprint, I felt like I couldn't catch up with you several times!"

The Emperor of the East China Sea was not bragging when she said this; she always spoke her mind.

"This……"

Narita Shirahito hesitated.

Just as the Emperor of the East China Sea didn't understand her, she didn't know much about the Emperor of the East China Sea either.

In my impression, this senior who is older than me is very talented, full of energy at all times, and is proactive and generous in dealing with anyone and any situation.

This is completely different from the self who is unwilling to interact with others.

It seemed that she was unwilling to contact others, and it was not her intention. It seemed that the horse racing girls of the same age and class had an inexplicable fear of her and always avoided her.

Over time, I no longer have any interest in actively contacting people.

Now, apart from Roman Oguri, she is indeed not close to anyone.

It was also for the same reason that, even though he felt that the Emperor of the East China Sea was very extroverted, Narita Bairen never took the initiative to contact him, so there was no question of him understanding him.

She hesitated at this moment because she was wondering whether she should tell the other person her thoughts.

However, the Emperor of the East China Sea obviously misunderstood.

"I'm not lying, I really think Bai Ren-chan is very strong!"

Looking at Narita Bairen with wide eyes, the Emperor of the East China Sea stopped walking slowly to cool down, put one hand on his waist, clenched the other hand into a fist, and pointed his thumb at his chest.

"To be honest, I've always thought that after I debut, I'll definitely be able to become a world-famous horse racing girl like the president!"

"Undefeated and three championships, this has always been my goal!"

"Undefeated triple crown..." Narita Shirahito's pupils dilated slightly.

"Ok!"

Nodding vigorously, the East China Sea Emperor's still slightly childish face was brimming with confidence.

"I can definitely do it!"

"And I've always felt that among all the horse girls who haven't debuted yet, especially those who are close to my age, it seems that only McQueen is strong enough..."

"Of course you can't beat me!"

"I'm just saying that compared to other horse girls, McQueen is still pretty awesome."

"I just didn't expect that you, Bai Ren-chan, are so amazing!"

The East China Sea Emperor spoke frankly with words mixed with pride and praise, and there was no trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Oh yeah, it's not just Bai Ren-chan, Mimi..."

Narita Shirahito hesitated.

"Rice bath..."

Then, after another hesitation, she added, "And Miura Bourbon."

"Oh, that's right! Rice Bath and Miura Bourbon!"

The Emperor of the East China Sea was now embarrassed, but at the same time he looked a little impressed.

"That's amazing, Bai Ren-chan, how did you know I was going to talk about Mi Yu and Bourbon?"

...Maybe it’s because, Oguri-senpai is also not very good at remembering names.

Feeling helpless, Narita Bairen said nothing on the surface.

"Anyway," the Emperor of the East China Sea regained his smiling expression, "Mi Yu and Bourbon are also very good and have worked very hard!"

"If that's the case, I always feel like I was a little too arrogant before."

"There have always been excellent horse girls, I just didn't pay attention to them before."

“Now, if I really want to become a horse girl with three undefeated titles, I still have to work hard!”

"Of course, I will definitely, definitely realize this dream!"

"So, Bai Ren-chan, let's work hard together!"

Once again, the Emperor of the East China Sea smiled and stretched out his hand.

After a few breaths.

“Yes, we must work together.”

Suddenly, Narita Bairen curled the corners of his mouth, slowly stretched out his hand, then was stunned and touched his lips.

The branch that he had been holding in his mouth disappeared at some point. It might have been accidentally dropped during a sprint in a previous race.

She withdrew her hand first, fumbled in the pocket of her wet sports shorts, and pulled out a fresh green branch that was stained with crystal sweat.

Then rub the root and hold it in your mouth.

“And we must work together.”

She raised her lips again, shook the branch, and smiled:
"If I compete with you, the Emperor, again, I may not be able to perform as well as I did just now."

"After all, you are still my senior. I still have a lot of deficiencies in my training and basic skills." "Just now, I was able to fight with Senior Emperor because I tried my best."

"And the reason for this is that I suddenly thought that maybe my sister was watching this game as well."

"elder sister……?"

Bai Ren's sister is... Oops, I can't remember...

The Emperor of the East Sea was distracted for a moment by Narita Bairen's words, and when he realized that he couldn't remember the other's sister's name, he couldn't help scratching his head.

“Ha, haha, is that so? That’s great…”

"Well, she'll definitely see it."

Not noticing the East Sea Emperor's embarrassment, Narita Bairen suddenly became a little excited.

"Because my dream is to win the Triple Crown."

“Or more than just the Triple Crown.”

“No matter what the game is, I just want to run as hard as I can and win hard and hard.”

"This is the agreement between me and my sister."

"The promise with my sister..."

Staring blankly at Narita Bairen's suddenly high spirits, the Emperor of the East China Sea also became refreshed.

"If that's the case, then Shirahito-chan's dream is the same as mine."

"If you keep winning, you will be undefeated."

“And then we have to win the treble.”

"That's exactly like me!"

"And if Shirahito-chan's dream stems from the promise he made to his sister..."

"Then my dream comes from the promise I made to the president!"

Shaking hands with Narita Bairen, the Emperor of the East China Sea also became very excited.

"Although the president actually doesn't know about this agreement, it was only made unilaterally by me."

"But I will definitely fulfill this promise!"

As he declared this, the Emperor of the East China Sea suddenly changed his expression and his eyes lit up.

“Ah! President! Over here! Over here!”

He broke free from Narita Bairen's hand in an instant, jogging all the way, and finally pounced like a child seeing his parents, the Emperor of the East China Sea threw himself into the arms of the Luduo symbol who had just approached.

"How's it going? I did a great job just now, didn't I? Did you see it, Mr. President? I tried my best in the final sprint!"

He chatters away to seek credit just like a child.

Just at this moment, the commentary from the radio came from afar through the noise of the audience.

"The results of the video playback are out. The winning team of this summer seaside relay race is..."

"Mejiro Takamine, Tamamo Cross, and the Emperor of the East Sea! Let us congratulate them!"

In an instant, the Emperor of the East China Sea became even more excited.

"Yeah yeah yeah! President! Did you hear that?! I won! I won!"

Shouting loudly, she suddenly jumped back and put her hands on her waist again.

This time, she made a V-sign for victory with her other hand.

"Then let this victory be the beginning of my undefeated triple crown career!"

Blinking one eye, she looked at her idol playfully, her eyes full of confidence and expectation.

"President, I can definitely do this, right?!"

"Right?!"

"You must watch me carefully until that day comes!"

Luduo came to check on the health of the East China Sea Emperor and the others, and she was accompanied by her old partner Maruzenski.

Compared with the first two stages, the final stage was not that fast, and it couldn't even compare to most of the big-bounty races.

But the intensity of the competition was obvious to all. For the East China Sea Emperor and his companions whose bodies had not yet fully developed, the burden was still too heavy.

With rich competition and management experience, Ludo symbolizes this very well.

At this moment, Kitahara and Akigawa Yayoi were checking on the physical condition of Oguruma and other horse girls. Ludo took the initiative to take charge of the inspection here and brought Maruzenski along.

Moreover, since the beach and lawn are not suitable for driving, if they want to get there in the shortest time, there is no better choice for horse racing girls like them.

However, when she came over, she saw from afar that the Emperor of the East Sea and Narita Shirahito were talking as if nothing had happened, and that Mejiro McQueen, Miyu and Miura Bourbon also seemed to be fine, so she quickly felt relieved.

Hearing the East China Sea Emperor's childish request for credit, she subconsciously wanted to smile and say a few words of encouragement, but suddenly her expression changed.

She always felt that the current situation was somewhat familiar.

He couldn't help but glance at Maruzenski beside him and found that she also looked thoughtful. Luduo's symbol suddenly remembered.

Ah... it was after my Japanese derby...

She remembered that after she won the championship in that game, she faced a series of highlights and inquiries at the press conference, which seemed to be a similar scene.

At that time, after she responded to a few interviews, Maruzenski happened to come over.

This old friend came to congratulate her. She remembered that in response to the congratulations, she said something like, "If you participated in the Japanese derby, the outcome would be hard to predict."

This is not a humble statement. Maruzenski's strength is definitely not much different from hers. If he did not belong to a different generation from her and had retired when she was in her classic year, perhaps everything would have changed.

And then, a mischievous little guy emerged from the crowd of reporters.

It seemed that from that time on, she had an inexplicable liking for the little guy.

She also had the familiar, crescent-shaped, white side bangs. Because of that bangs, she was nicknamed "Luna" when she was a child.

"Luna" means "moon", although, of course, no one has called her that in years.

What made her feel inexplicably fond of the little guy was his agility. She noticed with her peripheral vision that the little guy slipped left and right among the crowd and emerged in a flash.

Another possibility is the confidence that comes from the depths of the eyes.

If she had a child in the future, maybe he would be like this little guy. She even thought about it vaguely at the time.

Perhaps it was this inexplicable affection that made her stop the staff from trying to persuade the little guy to leave.

"I, I...I want to become a strong and handsome horse girl like the Emperor's lady!"

She remembered the little guy saying this in one breath after he came out.

Then, Maruzenski seemed amused and somewhat serious, and said something like "talent, hard work, and luck".

She herself inexplicably felt that the little guy should do what she said.

So she walked over, squatted down, and responded seriously.

"In that case... first of all, you have to join Tresen College."

"Can you tell me your name?"

After that...

Lu Duo smiled symbolically, just like she did back then, facing the confident and expectant eyes of the East China Sea Emperor, she leaned over, squatted down, and stroked the white crescent-shaped bangs that were very similar to hers.

"Will you watch the day when the emperor becomes a strong and handsome horse girl?"

It was visibly that the eyes of the East China Sea Emperor suddenly widened, and the excitement and joy in his eyes overflowed.

Seeing this, his smile got wider, and Luduo nodded vigorously and seriously.

"Okay, I'll remember that."
