Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 255: The "Youth Cup" is almost here, let's consider the "Peak Cup" (1w)

After the "educational competition", Kitahara really wanted to have a chat with Oguruma and the other three.

He was very sure that during the competition, his three horse racing girls must have experienced great changes in their mentality.

This kind of judgment comes not only from observing the game situation.

After the game, through video recording and confirmation by various instruments, it was possible to accurately determine the lead of Secretariat and Shogawa Tezuna.

Thirty-six lengths, a full 90 meters, is 10 meters longer than when Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes that year.

If this kind of distance is reflected in a formal competition, it will definitely be a shocking result. Even in a competition organized by the URA Association, it is enough to amaze those in the know.

Such exclamation is another key reason why Kitahara believes that his horse racing girls will have a change of mentality.

It's just that it's a bit difficult to realize this idea.

After the competition, there was a banquet, and all the contestants who participated in the competition, the main members of the two academies, and the invited guests were present.

At such a banquet, it is inevitable to talk about some cooperation matters, which was originally one of the important purposes of Kitahara arranging this trip to the United States.

After this "educational match", no matter what their previous views were, American horse racing girls, academies and association members all had new views and higher levels of evaluation on the Japanese horse racing girl industry.

In such a good situation, it would be a waste not to strike while the iron is hot to determine some details of the cooperation.

At this time, it is inevitable to put the heart-to-heart talk on hold for a while.

In particular, during the conversation, a "new competition proposal" was proposed by Rudo, and the student union secretaries of Maruzenski, Seattle Slalom, and Oath agreed.

"How about organizing horse girls of your level like Luduo and holding a competition based on this 'educational competition'..."

It was the Secretariat that spoke.

As the president of the United States Federation's Tereson College, she possesses much more power than student unions such as Rudo Symbol and Seattle Whirlpool.

Moreover, in the entire world, the horse racing girl industry in the United States is one of the most outstanding, which makes the Secretariat's influence even higher than that of Yayoi Akikawa.

Whether it is the new event mentioned now, or the "Youth Cup" that has been discussed before, once the Secretariat, an important figure in the industry, speaks, many things can be carried out very smoothly.

“I fully agree with this idea.”

After pondering for a moment, the Secretariat slowly said, "It has not been possible in the past. On the one hand, it is due to some regulations of the International Horse Racing Girls Association, and on the other hand, it is also due to some very practical issues."

"Take this educational match as a comparison. The current horse girls compete with people like us. Maybe some trainers have thought about it before."

"But if I want to ensure the results, my training schedule is very tight."

"It is not something that can be organized simply by talking about it, to reasonably arrange effective events without affecting training and competitions."

“There’s still time to arrange it.”

"To be honest, this competition was also a coincidence. If Ms. Kurokawa hadn't communicated with Penny in advance, I might not have been able to find the time to participate."

"There are many similar situations..."

She suddenly smiled and changed the subject.

"That's a bit far-fetched. Anyway, since this education competition can be held, I think similar competitions can also be held."

“Especially with this experience, it should be smoother for horse girls from different countries and generations to compete.”

As she spoke, her smile became more intense.

Secretariat was once a horse racing girl, and she knows how regrettable it is to have enough strength but not be able to run to your heart's content.

This feeling of regret is particularly evident in her.

Today, everyone acknowledges her extraordinary talent, but few people know that her debut was not actually very smooth.

Among the horse girls who enrolled in the same batch, her performance was not the best.

Just like her performance during her active career, her victories were certainly eye-catching, but she also had her share of losses.

If we only look at the results on paper, there are many horse girls who are more dazzling than her.

This situation is reflected in the fact that before debuting, it is "proof of not having top talent."

The training resources at that time were limited, which resulted in her not even finding a trainer willing to choose her during her debut period.

Finally she met Penny Chenery, who she thought was quite funny.

It was somewhat similar to the situation at that time where no one cared about her, and the same was true for her trainer.

It can even be said to be worse.

My father is a trainer, but he has average talent, and his team management and operational abilities are also average. He has also accumulated a lot of debts for various reasons.

When it came to arranging for his daughter, the old man didn't even consider choosing a trainer for her, but instead arranged for her to be a housewife.

Unfortunately, due to some accidents, Penny's father became seriously ill, which made the training, team, debt and other situations even worse.

This was the bad situation when Penny took over.

At that time, this young "future trainer" had no other choice, because even if he sold all the team's assets and property, it would still not be enough to completely solve the debt problem.

What's more, the United States has heavy inheritance taxes, which means that the family business may be exhausted before the debt is resolved.

In order to solve all this, the young Penny went against the direction arranged by her father and became a trainer through self-study.

Such a trainer who changes career path lately will definitely not be valued in the industry. Not only will no seniors be willing to guide her, but even no horse racing girl will be willing to sign a contract with her.

The final meeting was due to a "coin toss".

In order to sign a contract as a horse racing girl as soon as possible, the young Penny took the initiative to propose many contracts to the academy and even the association without being taken seriously by the academy.

Including the distribution of prize money, follow-up arrangements for the horse racing girls, one's own future plans, etc.

Each contract is extremely beneficial to the college and the association.

There is no benefit for Penny except the possibility of settling debts and the academy and association helping her arrange a horse girl.

The hospital and the association think that such "suicide"-like behavior is a joke.

And precisely because they thought it was a “child’s play”, those former big shots made another “child’s play” request.

"Flip a coin", if Penny wins, the contracts will take effect, otherwise nothing will happen.

Penny won, and the horse racing girl arranged by the academy and the association was Secretariat.

This is what the Secretariat found funny.

It was a very frivolous decision-making method that brought together an unappreciated horse girl and an unappreciated trainer.

Then, it became the absolute focus of the next generation.

If this kind of focus could continue, perhaps everything that had happened before would not matter.

But those contracts stipulated that the Secretariat's service time was limited.

This restriction was originally set to prevent Penny from wasting industry resources.

But soon, the nature changed.

It became a barrier to protect the academy, other racehorses and trainers, and especially the shareholders of the URA Association of America.

If the Secretariat keeps winning, then all the investments of other shareholders will be wasted.

The Secretariat at that time did not understand or care much about such matters.

Now that she had to understand, she couldn't help but care about it.

If, she thought, if there weren't these complicated rules and regulations in the industry that made her disgusted and frown, the contracts that Penny signed might not have existed in the first place.

And I didn't need to abide by those contracts and had to retire at the peak of my career.

When she was running freely before, she told Junchuan Tezuna that she probably hated the contracts signed by the trainers.

But think about it now, what could Penny do at that time?

I am now the chairman of the United States Federal Teresen College. If I go back to the past, what can I do?

In fact, there is no such thing, this is just the reality.

The Secretariat has thought about all these experiences and everything behind them more than once, and has wanted to try to change something many times.

She felt that she and Tetsuna Sugawa were not the same type of horse girls, but they had similar ideas.

That "secretary" retired because of a past injury, and hoped that the younger generation would not have a similar experience...

If it were me, wouldn't I also hope that the younger generations wouldn't repeat my mistakes?
She had only discussed these ideas with Penny before, and the only person who knew about it now was Junchuan Tezuna who had just agreed.

But if possible, she really hopes that if she can't do it, it would be best if there are horse girls or humans who know more about these things than her and come forward to give some better methods.

Even if they are just some ideas, it's fine as long as they can avoid those regrets.

Now, it seems that she has seen such a possibility, so she is naturally willing to support it.

"A competition like that... I guess you guys have been looking forward to it for a long time, right?"

With her decision in mind, she smiled and looked at the younger generations represented by Luduo.

"You figured it out."

Receiving the Secretariat's gaze, Luduo smiled symbolically, looked at Maruzenski beside him, Seattle Huilun and Shiyan beside the Secretariat for a moment, and then said seriously:

"Yeah, that idea...we talked about it a lot after the game."

"There has never been such a competition before. We have discussed the difficulties in rules and regulations, as well as practical details."

"It is precisely because we are looking forward to such a game and looking forward to running on the field again that we talked so much and asked you for advice."

“And like you said, with the experience of this educational competition, and our previous experience in the relay race.”

“It is not impossible to replicate a series of events based on this.”

"and……"

She looked further away, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise an arc of trust.

"I think maybe the guy over there already has some basic plans in mind..."

"Maybe... there are some very complete ones."

"Oh? You mean Kitahara... that's his name, right?"

It was not the Secretariat who responded to Rudo, but Seattle Roundabout who looked curious.

Following Ludo's symbolic gaze, the horse girl stroked her chin and said, "Although I've said it before, but..."

"You guys really trust that trainer."

"Is this a Japanese feature? Trainers have a big say in events?"

"Anyway, if there are any trainers in the United States who want to hold this kind of competition, the proposal will probably be blocked by some congressman before it even reaches the URA Association."

"It's nothing more than comments like it's impossible, unrealistic, and meaningless."

“That’s what American congressmen are like.”

Seattle shrugged nonchalantly, with an indifferent, even slightly contemptuous look on his face.

"Oh, so American congressmen are like this too?"

Without hesitation, Maruzenski suddenly smiled and nodded seriously, "It seems that all the congressmen in this world are the same."

"Yeah, yeah, it seems like it's the same over there."

His eyes lit up and he looked at Maruzenski. The Seattle shrug became more exaggerated, and then the hand-spreading gesture became the same.

"Anyway, this kind of person is..."

She didn't finish.

“…Spin.”

The Secretariat did not say anything to the student union president. Shiyan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly called out his colleague's name in a low voice, and at the same time, glanced around imperceptibly.

"…Maruzen, you are being a little rude."

Almost at the same time as he made the oath, Ludo tugged slightly at Maruzenski's sleeve and reminded him in a low voice.

"Huh? Did I just say anything?"

Maruzenski's arm was dangling as it was pulled, and she looked at the Rudo symbol with a surprised expression and blinked.

"I think should not be?"

"Did you just hear anything?" She looked toward Seattle and blinked.

"What...Oh, nonono, I've said noting."

He was stunned for a moment, then saw Maruzenski's eyes, his face suddenly realized, and he raised his hands in surrender, and Seattle kept shaking his head.

"I didn't say anything, right? Under oath, you can testify for me at the trial bench, right?"

She turned around and asked her colleagues for confirmation with an innocent look.

"..."

Oath didn't say anything, but seemed to sigh and look away, as if she didn't hear anything.

The Luduo symbol was in a similar state, and she didn't want to talk anymore.

She discovered that the interpersonal situation in student unions in the United States seemed to be the opposite of that in Japan.

On the American side, it seems that Vow is responsible for more practical work, such as handling official documents and settling daily work arrangements, just like she did in college.

Seattle Slalom, like Maruzenski, is more responsible for dealing with external affairs and communicating with people.

This makes them seem to be very good at pretending to be stupid and saying different things to different people.

At this moment, they certainly knew what they said, and they said it deliberately when they knew that the Secretariat did not care about it.

In a different situation, for example, when actually facing some parliamentarians or members of the URA association, they would definitely speak more nicely than each other, and there would be absolutely no possibility of being rude.

The Secretariat really didn't care about the Seattle Turn and Maruzenski's stupidity.

"Since Luduo praised it so much, then..."

Ignoring the previous conversation, she turned her head and raised her chin, "Let's go ask."

"Let's see if the trainer that you, Japan Tresen Academy, value so much and expect so much, can come up with an interesting proposal."

The trainer that Uma Musume was talking about here was naturally Kitahara, but he himself didn't know this at the moment.

He was currently discussing other matters with Miyu Kurokawa and Penny Chenery.

A lot of things like college cooperation and event arrangements have already been confirmed, and now we are talking about the "movie".

Before coming to the United States, Kitahara had already finished the draft of the script for "A Proud Horse".

Having watched the original film many times, it is not difficult to write a synopsis.

Naturally, all the details were left to Mihiro Kurokawa. Kitahara didn't think his creative level could compare with that of this world-class filmmaker.

And Mihiro Kurokawa's talent is indeed outstanding. After receiving the draft, she has almost perfected the script during this time while still in Japan, on the plane, and in these days.

I also showed it to Penny Chenery, who praised it with great surprise.

Mihiro Kurokawa, who perfected the script, and Kitahara, who provided the draft, both felt that it was natural.

The former was due to her own talent, while the latter was because she understood that the script itself was adapted from Penny Chenery's personal experience.

Moreover, the original starring role of the film was Hollywood actress Diane Lane, who has been nominated for the Best Actress at the Golden Globe Awards and the Best Actress at the Oscars many times. This starring role also performed those experiences brilliantly in the film.

So just by recalling his movie-watching experience, Kitahara was sure that the synopsis he wrote would resonate strongly with Penny Chenery.

It’s just that next to Miyu Kurokawa, he feels he can’t take credit for the final script.

"I am really humbled by your praise for the script of "A Proud Horse"."

Looking at the delighted Penny Chenery, Kitahara said sincerely: "But I'm not the one who should be thanked."

“I just gave a general idea of ​​the script based on my knowledge of Uma Musume.”

“So, we should thank Ms. Kurokawa for fully presenting this idea.”

He subconsciously looked at Kurokawa Miyu, and then saw the latter shaking her head.

"Kitahara, you are too modest."

With a bit of rigor, Miyu Kurokawa said: "To perfect the script, you need skills, and skills can be trained."

“I just learned more about this aspect.”

“An excellent inspiration cannot be trained or learned.”

"'The Proud Horse', the adaptation of 'Phantom Horse', the 'Moe Monster' anime series, 'Uma Musume Movie', all of these require enough talent to have the corresponding inspiration."

"And you have just that kind of talent. All the works that have been produced and will be produced are derived from your talent."

Hearing this, before Kitahara could say anything, Penny Chenery's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Mr. Kitahara actually has more outstanding scripts?"

She looked at Kurokawa Miyu, and after getting confirmation, she looked again, and said with great interest: "Then may I have the honor to appreciate it?"

"My eyesight is not as professional as the two of you, but I also like Umamusume."

"If it's a Umamusume movie, I'd be very interested."

As she spoke, her eyes wandered between the two people in front of her.

Without any hesitation, Kurokawa Miyu took the initiative to say:
"'Moe Monster Series', if you also like anime, I will have my son visit you later and give you a series of collector's editions."

As the earliest project that Kitahara's team collaborated with Saijin Company, the "Cute Monster Series" has been on sale for a long time, and its popularity and revenue have exceeded most Uma Musume products.

Generally speaking, well-known horse girls will produce a series of peripheral products under the operation of the URA Association, such as dolls, calendars, posters, etc.

These peripherals will also generate corresponding income, part of which will be used for the operation of the association, shareholder distribution and expenses of various Tresen Colleges, and the rest will be distributed to the corresponding horse girls and trainers.

This type of revenue is not much different from the level of most star products, but this is not the case with the "Cute Monster Series".

Due to its collaboration with "Godzilla", a Japanese national character, this project has gained popularity far beyond the average level.

It is very common for products to be sold out as soon as they are released, or even to be on the verge of being sold out due to pre-orders before they are released.

Influenced by this, Hewan Enterprise and Xizhen Company continue to join in research and development, as well as more cooperation.

Especially after the Satomi family joined this project, in addition to games related to "Uma Musume Shining Star Tournament", some other themes were also developed.

For example, by combining the concept of "monster" with some shooting and fighting games, we can create games like "beating monsters". These games are currently "demos" for trial play and testing, and are circulated among some professional players.

Basically all the players who have tried the game gave it unanimous praise and feedback that “I don’t really want to play this kind of game.”

According to them, they really want to see "cute monsters" appear in various games.

However, once you see the cute "Uma Musume monsters" appear, even if they are extremely tall, you still can't bring yourself to fight them.

"I would rather be stepped on or punched than knocked down a moron."

This is a feedback comment about the demo in a game forum. This comment has been viewed and liked by many people.

These episodes during the planning and development process are varied, and many are quite interesting. No matter what type of episode it is, they can prove the current popularity of "cute monsters".

Or the popularity of the horse racing ladies and Ogurume.

After talking about anime, Kurokawa Miyu pondered for a moment and then continued:
"As for the movie, if Ms. Penny wants to watch it sooner rather than later, you may have to wait for about a month, or even longer."

"Because movies and animation are different, the production cycle will be longer."

"For animation production, the steps involved include briefing, screenwriting, concept drawings, stories, illustrations, production, post-production, etc. It may seem complicated, but in fact, it can be completed in one to three months."

"The longer ones are usually feature-length animated films, which require more effort in planning, scripting, storyboarding, dubbing and music, etc."

"And the planning of 'Moe Monsters' and other anime started very early, so there is no problem watching them now."

"As for the movie, you may have been in contact with Hollywood and you should know that it will take more time."

Hearing this, Penny Chenery nodded, "Yes, I do understand a little bit."

"Is it because post-production takes longer?" she probed.

"Post-production does take longer, two to three months in most cases, and perhaps closer to a year in some cases."

Miyu Kurokawa nodded and said, "Pre-production also takes longer."

"Props, makeup, costumes, and scenes, if you want outstanding effects, all of these must be made in advance."

As she spoke, she went back to the situation at the beginning of the time.

"Fortunately, the concept provided by Kitahara is relatively complete, the subject matter itself is a very realistic shining star event, and the prototype is also very clear."

“This saves a lot of pre-production time.”

"And Xizhen Company's film and television structure is quite good, and filming and post-production will be faster."

"So, in the months since Kitahara proposed the project, most of the work has been completed. The month or so I mentioned is the final part of 'Umamusume Movie'."

Miyu Kurokawa smiled and said, "Then the sample film will be ready."

"If it's convenient for you, I can invite you to watch a movie in Japan, or I can come over and go to Hollywood with you."

"I plan to send this movie to Hollywood to try to expand the market."

“As for the longer time, it refers to the movie ‘A Proud Horse’ that I showed you, and the movie ‘Phantom Horse’ that I want to shoot later.”

"I will invite you for these two films when the samples come out, just like this time."

"That's great. Besides, you don't have to explain and comfort me in this way. Although I don't know much about film production, I know that it takes time."

Penny Chenery was overjoyed and said, "Then I will look forward to it. Whether it is in Japan or in the United States, I am willing to wait."

When the two ladies were talking about movies, Kitahara didn't say much because it was not an area he was familiar with or good at.

Hearing that the topic seemed to have come to an end, he prepared to talk about something else.

For example, a corner some distance away from here.

Oguri Hat, Super Bay, Mejiro Aldan, and Surugawara Tezuna were chatting about something shortly after the party started.

Kitahara had no idea what they were talking about, but it seemed to him that Tetsuna Sugawa didn't go over there to avoid Kurokawa Miyu.

He still didn't know what the horse girl talked about with her former trainer. The only thing that was certain was that the former rift between them should have faded a little.

He still remembered that during the training before the educational competition, although Tsuna Sugawa took the initiative to mention that he wanted to get in touch with Kurokawa Miyu, after they actually met, his attitude was not as friendly as he was towards Uma Musume.

Kitahara guessed that he was still concerned about what happened in the past and what his former trainer had been avoiding for so many years.

And after the game, although there was no particularly obvious initiative, he no longer felt that kind of care from Tetsuro Tetsuna.

It was as if the barriers had disappeared.

However, the rift between the trainer and the horse girl disappeared, and things between him and his horse girl seemed to become a little subtle.

In the past, whether it was ideas, experiences or advice, after the game, Oguruma and the others would find him and ask him proactively.

But not this time.

Just like how Surukawa Tetsuna avoided Kurokawa Miyu before, Oguruma and the other three... seemed to be avoiding her as well.

Kitahara didn't know if this was the case, and he couldn't figure out the reason.

Maybe... you think my arrangements for this competition were a bit excessive... ?
like……

Is this possible?

After all, facing opponents like Junchuan Tezuna and the Secretariat, losing more than 30 horse lengths in one go...

This must be difficult for them to accept for a while...

only……

I just want to talk to them about this matter. If I keep avoiding it, there might be misunderstandings...

I'd better go and talk to them earlier...

His mind was on his horse racing girlfriend, while others were talking and listening here, but his attention was always intentionally or unintentionally distracted there.

He saw that Oguruma and the others spent most of their time talking to Tetsuro Tetsuna.

The latter looked a little distressed and helpless, but more so, very patient.

During this time, other horse girls also came over.

The special week brought over from Japan, the blue sky and the holy king halo brought over from Ludo's symbol and Maruzenski, and the flying on the grass and the condor whose home is in Kentucky.

I don’t know why these little guys went over there, or what they said after they went over there.

But in any case, after they passed by, Ogurumao and the others seemed to look over here, then quickly looked away.

So I still have to go over and talk to them.

At least you need to know what they just said.

It would be nice to know what they are thinking.

The decision came at a time when a film deal between Miyu Kurokawa and Penny Chenery was nearing completion.

When the topic came to an end, Kitahara calmed himself down and thought for a while before the next topic came up.

"Please allow me to leave for a moment, both of you."

With an apologetic smile, he pointed in the direction he had been focusing on, "I think I need to go over there."

While pointing like this, he was also glancing over there out of the corner of his eye.

At this time, Oguruma and the others and Suruga Tsuna were still there, but the little guys had some changes in their membership.

Like a magnet, in addition to Special Zhou and the others, Sunday Ningjing and Pingyi Gentleman also gathered there.

Just like the quarrel they had during the previous race, the two horse girls were waving their arms exaggeratedly, seemingly arguing about something.

The other horse girls also said something in different expressions as if they were trying to persuade them because of the posture of these two people.

This is what Kurokawa Miyu and Penny Chenery saw when they followed Kitahara's gesture.

"Oh my God, why are those two kids arguing again?"

Holding her forehead, Penny Chenery didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "They are always like this. I don't know why. They always quarrel when they meet."

"Maybe it's to win or lose. Anyway, for a small reason, they are like this now."

The lady shook her head and sighed, pinching her index finger and thumb to make a slit to show what she was talking about.

"It seems we need to guest-star as teachers or babysitters at the academy."

"Mr. Kitahara, we'll go with you to see what those two kids are arguing about."

She obviously thought that Kitahara had noticed the quarrel in the corner and wanted to go and mediate, so he motioned for her to go over with Kurokawa Miyu.

As if she was worried that something unexpected might happen in the corner, after giving her suggestion, she walked straight over there. Kurokawa Miyu nodded to Kitahara and followed her.

This was not Kitahara's original intention, but now that he had witnessed the situation in the corner, he thought it would be okay to go with the flow, so he decided to agree and go along.

But just as he was about to speak, a doubtful voice came from the side.

"Excuse me..."

Bringing Luduo to symbolize them, they came over and saw Kitahara and the others looking like they were about to leave, and the Secretariat became confused.

"Mr. Kitahara, you...they..."

Before he could ask, he looked in the direction his trainer was going and saw that Secretariat was holding his forehead in the same way.

"God Demn it...these two little guys..."

She looked like someone who had seen this many times before and was having a headache. Without saying anything more, she quickly waved at Kitahara.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kitahara. I wanted to ask you something, but..."

"Now please allow me to address one point about Conitressen College first... um..."

"Specialties, yes, that's right, specialties."

"Please wait here for a moment, I'll be right back."

"Hui Xuan, you and... No, you stay here with Mr. Kitahara."

"Shiyan, come with me. Ningjing seems to be closer to you."

After saying these words, the Secretariat hurried to the corner, and Shiyan followed in silence. When passing Beiyuan, he paused slightly, nodded, and then walked forward again.

"Then... I'll go over and take a look too. Luduo, you and Huixuan stay here with Mr. Beiyuan."

As if jokingly, he imitated the Secretariat's tone and said something. Regardless of his friend's helpless expression, Maruzenski smiled playfully and walked towards the corner.

At this point, Kitahara felt a little embarrassed.

He originally wanted to go over and chat with his horse racing girlfriend, but now it seems that things are getting lively over there.

If I go there now, I'm afraid I won't have much chance to talk about anything.

More importantly, the quarrel between Zhou Ri Ningjing and Ping Yijunzi seemed different from what he was familiar with.

What he was familiar with was the habitual bickering between Tamamo Juji and Inari. Even if the two quarreled, at most they would just argue about some insignificant things.

For example, how much soy sauce should be added to udon noodles to be considered authentic, and who is more delicious, the Kanto Uma Musume or the Kansai Uma Musume.

Or it could be like the Emperor of the East China Sea and Mejiro McQueen, two tsundere characters against each other, they obviously care about each other very much, but they still tease and squeeze each other in a roundabout way.

Sunday’s tranquility and easygoing nature seem to be the “real deal” among gentlemen.

The two little guys were arguing just now, and now they seem to be about to fight.

If it weren't for Oguruma, Suruga Tezuna and the others pulling on both sides, a fight might have really begun.

Even when they were being pulled, or even lifted up with their feet off the ground, they were still pointing and gesticulating from a distance.

Perhaps this is the way horse racing girls in the United States express their feelings.

In contrast, he had no way to mediate the quarrels and fights he was familiar with, so he could only let them go.

Faced with these two unfamiliar people, he felt even more helpless.

He thought about it and remembered that the Secretariat seemed to have something to talk to him about, so he looked at the Ludor Symbol and Seattle Roundabout who stayed here with him.

"you……"

He had just opened his mouth, and Seattle Spin couldn't wait to speak.

"Hey, let me ask you a question. If horse girls like me and Luduo want to participate in a competition, how would you plan and design it?"

She looked at Kitahara with some anticipation, as if testing him, "Oh, by the way, we were right next to you during the previous competition, and we talked about this as well."

"It means that Shi Yan and I will go to Japan to compete, or Lu Duo and the others will come to the United States to compete."

"It's not the Japan Cup, nor the Shining Star Series."

"It's just like the relay race you had before and the exchange competition you just held."

"Do you have any ideas for organizing some similar competitions suitable for me and Luduo to participate in?"

After explaining, she repeated the question with emphasis, and looked at Kitahara with interest.

Kitahara still had a deep impression of Uma Musume's competition ideas that he heard before the competition.

For horse girls like Ludo, who symbolize their strength, it would be more complicated to build a relay race again.

But if there are opponents of sufficient level participating, you can directly refer to the Shining Series.

He had some ideas at the time, but he was so focused on the game afterwards that he didn't go deeper.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Seattle mention it, and saw the expectant look from the Luduo symbol. Without thinking too much, Beiyuan blurted it out.

"You mean the 'Peak Cup'? That's it..."

"Nice! The Peak Cup, that's the one... Wait, what Peak Cup?"

It seemed that his brain was too fast, or too slow. Seattle's eyes lit up and he nodded before Kitahara finished speaking.

Then, he was startled and his eyes became blank.

"You mean... the Peak Cup? That's the name, right...?"

"Yeah, that's not what you're talking about... Oh, this is the name I gave myself."

He responded subconsciously, and then realized that the name "Peak Cup" was just his idea and he had not revealed it to anyone, so Kitahara patiently explained it.

"If you're talking about a competition suitable for you, Ludo, Maruzenski, and Oath, suitable for your level, I do have some ideas."

"In fact, just refer to the 'Youth Cup' I built in the club plan."

"For this event, I plan to focus on horse racing girls who are either yet to become professional or have just entered professional status, that is, a competition for horse racing girls who have not yet debuted."

"It can be considered as a national league or qualifier for elementary and middle school students."

"Then we can extend it by comparing it to the club and league structure of human competitive sports."

"I have set up the 'Youth Cup' for Umamusume who have not yet debuted. In addition to the appropriate name, I have also planned a certain schedule for the competition."

"After debuting and completing the original style, there will be the 'Shining Star Series', so there is no need to think too much about it."

"Then after retiring from the Shining Series, we can organize the 'Peak Cup' to correspond to the 'Youth Cup'."

"As long as you don't retire due to irreversible injuries, you will have the opportunity to completely master the field, especially strong players like you who have performed well in career competitions."

"Then, wouldn't it be fitting for the name 'Peak' for you to compete against each other again, or even compete internationally?"

"Perhaps at the end of the 'Peak Cup', we can even have a competition in the form of a ring."

"For example, the one of you who performed best in the 'Peak Cup' will go one-on-one with top experts like the Secretariat and Miss Tetsuna... Of course, this method is a bit crude, I'm still considering it."

"But on this basis, I am actually considering introducing a 'points' and 'round-robin' system, which means that we don't just look at the outcome of a game, but the overall performance..."

"Wait, wait! I need some time to think about what you've said!"

Suddenly, Kitahara, who was immersed in his professional field and started talking, was interrupted.

Kitahara was stunned for a moment when he saw the spirals in his eyes that seemed to turn into mosquito coils and the Seattle whirl with its mouth wide open.

"This... May I ask..."

"Quiet! I am thinking quickly!"

Another sentence in English popped out, and then as if realizing that Kitahara didn't understand, Seattle Revolve began to translate itself in poor Japanese.

"Stop making noise! ​​I'm taking the college entrance exam!"

……What?

It's fast thinking...

What the hell is the college entrance examination...

Your Japanese is so abstract, Seattle Maelstrom...

Not knowing how to complain about Seattle Echo's current state and words, Kitahara rubbed his temple helplessly and subconsciously looked at the Ludor symbol beside him.

An expression of "as expected" appeared on Luduo's symbolic face. When she saw Kitahara looking at her, she seemed to be in a good mood and smiled.

"As expected, Kitahara."

She even hummed something like a lyric, "I told Huixuan that if she really wanted a competition, she should just come and ask me."

"You must have a way."

"The Peak Cup..."

"Really..."

“This is a highly anticipated event…”

“I feel like I can’t wait to get involved…”

With a "perfect tune" look on her face, her smile grew more intense as she murmured in a low voice.

I'm so sorry, the update schedule has been messed up these two days

There are indeed some things that, once delayed, there is no way to update this
And now many plots should be considered original...

In the original Umamusume, there are fewer and fewer settings to refer to, so the time for conception and modification is much longer...

When I was conceiving, I sometimes wondered if other people who wrote fan fiction had such a hard time...

I can only say that Uma Musume is like this...

I will try to make some adjustments. If it is updated stably, it will be very beneficial to the overall planning.
I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused to all of you book friends.
Finally, I would like to thank all the book friends for their support!
Thank you, thank you, Thanks(ω)!!!
