Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 260: A Body Like a Porcelain Cup
"Successive victories?"

After a moment's pause, Xiao Li Mao was a little surprised, then he smiled and said, "It's amazing, what a great opera."

"……Why?"

Good Opera was puzzled, "Why did Oguri-senpai say that?"

"Because, many horse girls don't actually think that way... Let's talk while running. I see Xiao Haiwan and the others have already started running."

After responding, Oguruma looked into the distance.

The venue for morning exercises is not in the college, but in a nearby park.

The roads in the park are naturally more suitable for horse racing girls than grass, but if they stay in the academy all the time and see the same environment for too long, they will unconsciously become mentally fatigued.

The ability to adapt will also be somewhat slow.

There are quite a few competition venues throughout Japan, located in various places, and the environments vary greatly.

Various competitions are not held in the same venue, which requires the horse racing ladies to have the ability to adapt quickly when switching venues.

This ability requires subtle training in daily life.

Places like parks are more convenient for this kind of adaptation and have enough space.

The location of the Little Chestnut Hat and the Good Opera is next to a small forest in the park.

A little further away is a large lawn.

The road along the edge of the forest and the periphery of the lawn roughly forms a horizontal number "8" like an "infinite loop symbol".

Looking towards the lawn from Oguruma and the others, they could just see Super Little Bay and Mejiro Aldan running towards them with the East Sea Emperor and Mejiro McQueen.

This staggered running style is specially arranged.

The Daily Crown that Oguruma will participate in is a counterclockwise track, while the race between Little Bay and Aldan is a clockwise race.

In order to better adapt to the track conditions, various detailed adjustments need to be made now.

After they started running, the two horse girls did not immediately continue their previous conversation.

To be precise, Oguruma waited until he had interacted with his companions before he slowly spoke.

"Like Regal or McQueen."

After passing by his companions, he looked back at their backs, then ran and turned to look at Good Opera.

"Listen to their small talk while eating."

"The emperor's dream is to win three championships without losing like Ludo."

"McQueen wanted to fulfill his family's long-cherished wish of three generations to enjoy the spring."

"Xiao Te and the others are similar. They each have their own dreams."

"It's just these dreams... I think the difficulty is very different from winning battles in a row and not losing once."

After a pause, he turned his head and looked forward. His eyes were blank for a moment, and as if he was mumbling to himself, Xiao Li Mao continued:
“Winning consecutive games… is really a very difficult thing, even impossible to achieve.”

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

Good Opera was surprised, "If it's Oguri-senpai... your current record is one of winning battles in a row."

"I have lost before, but in the eyes of others, I may not have lost."

Xiao Limao nodded and said, "But there are the Ye Sen exchange competition, the Koni education competition, and many training matches with Xiao Haiwan and the others."

“I’ve lost all of them.”

"I see... Oguri-senpai really sets high standards for himself."

Good Opera sighed, but he didn't expect Little Chestnut to shake his head.

"I don't know what to set for myself, because my dream is not to win consecutive battles."

"Yes, I know that Oguri-senpai wants to become an outstanding horse girl and run more and more exciting races."

Good Opera nodded heavily.

She was considered the first "extra-staff horse girl" to train with Yongshi.

As early as half a year ago after the Gaoyue Award, she followed her father who was on a business trip to Tokyo, and then transferred to the Umamusume Elementary School here. After that, she trained with Oguruma and others in her spare time.

What she didn't know was that just when she came to Tokyo, Oguruma had visited her hometown Hokkaido under the guidance of Kitahara.

At that time, Oguruma and Kitahara wanted to find Te Bie Zhou and Hao Opera to see if they could arrange for them to develop in Central Tresen College.

Although I found the special week, I missed the good opera.

After a long period of interaction, Good Opera also clearly understands the dream that Xiao Limao has been pursuing all the way to where he is today.

After nodding and saying this, Good Opera became thoughtful.

"Perhaps it is because of this kind of thinking that Senior Oguri has been able to win battles one after another?"

"Is that so? I'm not really sure."

Shaking his head, Xiao Limao smiled and said, "I was just thinking that winning consecutive battles is something that no one would dream of right from the start."

"If you think of it this way, then good opera is really...really..."

He repeated a few words as if he was stuck, and Xiao Limao showed a bit of embarrassment.

"Are you really too arrogant? Overestimating your own capabilities?"

Without any hesitation, Good Opera gave himself two evaluations and then smiled.

"Ha, actually, I understand."

"I often tell Tokai Chou and the others that I think I am the strongest, fastest, most beautiful and talented horse racing girl in the world."

"I do think I am that kind of horse girl."

"If it's a competition, it should be won."

"And we have to win the game as gorgeously and beautifully as if it were a song."

"I've always thought so, so I wanted to ask how Oguruma-senpai always wins."

"In my eyes, Oguruma-senpai is also such a horse girl."

Hearing this, Xiaolimao smiled.

"Shouldn't there be only one most important thing?"

She said it with some amusement, then pondered for a moment and shook her head.

“I don’t find anything arrogant about the idea of ​​good opera.”

"……Why?"

Good opera surprised.

"Maybe it's a little strange, but..."

Xiao Li Mao pondered for a moment and chuckled, "It seems that when I first saw you, I had a very special feeling."

"How should I put it? It's like fate."

"Fate...?" the good opera murmured again.

"Well, I don't know if that's the case, anyway..."

Oguruma thought for a moment and said, "Just like you said, the fastest, the strongest, the most beautiful, and the one who is as gorgeous and beautiful as a song should win the game."

"If it were you, I think you could do it."

"I probably had this feeling when I first saw you."

“So that’s how it is…”

His eyes widened in surprise, and even his steps slowed down for a moment. Then he came to his senses and caught up with Little Chestnut's pace again, and then Good Opera smiled.

"I didn't expect that Senior Oguri would recognize me so early on."

"Then, I will truly become the powerful and beautiful horse girl that I dreamed of..."

"I will definitely do it."

"Yeah, I believe it."

He smiled and nodded, then suddenly slowed down his pace and became serious.

"But if you really want to become that kind of horse girl, don't force yourself to do the training you did before."

"Eh? Those trainings before... you mean the ones I did after school?"

Good opera unexpectedly rose, "How did Oguri-senpai know...?"

"It's not just me, Kitahara knows it too." Oguruma shook his head.

"That uncle Kitahara also...?" Good Opera was even more surprised.

“Well, whether you want to win consecutive battles or become a strong and beautiful horse girl, the effort required is unimaginable for ordinary people.” At this moment, Oguruma, who is still in her classic years and in the early stages of her race walking career, actually looks like a seasoned senior.

"So, I can understand your demands on yourself."

"Because very early on, when I was still in Kasamatsu, I also often did extra training."

"At that time, I remember getting up at around four in the morning to train."

Hearing this, Good Opera nodded with an expression of admiration.

"Well, I heard from Odama-senpai and the others that Oguri-senpai is really hardworking, and it's not just talent that allows him to win battles in a row."

Hearing the compliment, Xiao Limao smiled, but did not respond. Instead, he continued with the previous topic:
"If I remember correctly, you were often injured before you started training with me and Xiao Wan and the others."

"I noticed that in the beginning, when you came to the Central Academy for training many times, you had muscle bandages on your arms and thighs."

"It should be to prevent strain or it may have been strained, so it's like that."

Having said this, Oguruma slowly slowed down and finally stopped.

Seeing this, although Good Opera was puzzled, he also slowed down his pace.

After looking around, Little Chestnut Hat pointed to the side of the road.

"Come with me to the flower bed."

Good Opera, looking a little confused, came to a small flower bed on the side of the road, and motioned to her junior to sit down, and Little Chestnut Hat squatted in front of her.

"Well... now, you should be following our training habits, without so much self-training, but..."

As he spoke, Little Chestnut Hat reached out and touched Good Opera's thigh.

Although we are gradually entering autumn, the weather is not too cool and it is still quite hot in the afternoon.

The temperature was not high during morning exercise, but in order to avoid getting too hot after running, Xiao Li Mao and Hao Opera both wore short-sleeved shirts and shorts.

Reaching out this moment, Little Chestnut Hat directly grasped Good Opera's smooth knees, and with his other hand pulled the corner of the latter's sports shorts and pulled it up slightly.

“Hey, hey, hey? Oguri-senpai, what, what is this…?”

Having not expected such a development, the usually straightforward and handsome Good Opera suddenly felt a little strangely embarrassed. His face turned slightly red, and the originally fair skin of his thighs also turned a little pink.

Little Chestnut Hat, however, was not that different. He briefly looked at the strong and powerful thighs of Good Opera, then stretched out a finger and pressed it.

"Will it hurt...?"

She was a little confused for a moment, and the strange feeling in her heart also dissipated. Good Opera subconsciously moved her thighs and shook her head.

"It doesn't hurt, what's wrong...?"

"It seems that the recovery is OK, but..."

Muttering to himself, Xiao Limao suddenly straightened his palm, and like an unsharpened knife, he pressed it slightly on Good Opera's thigh and slid it along the lines of muscle fibers.

"Is that so..."

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts—!”

Before Little Chestnut Hat could finish his words, Good Opera let out a scream, his whole body twitched, and he jumped backwards onto the flower bed.

"Oguri-senpai! What are you doing?!"

In the face of Good Opera's surprised exclamation, Little Chestnut Hat smiled instead.

"Very good flexibility and jumping ability."

She smiled and praised him, then stood up and patted her sportswear. She said with a smile: "This is the injury you accumulated before."

Good Opera was even more stunned, "...injury?"

"Well, what should I say..."

With a thoughtful expression, Oguruma pinched his chin and raised his head slightly.

"Oh yes, Kitahara has a metaphor."

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, put her fingers together, and made a gesture as if holding a cup.

"You can imagine that I have a ceramic mug in my hand."

“Then play it like this…”

The other hand reached out and flicked the finger towards the "void porcelain cup".

"With this kind of force, the cup will definitely not break..."

"No, I think with Senior Oguri's monstrous strength, even a stainless steel cup can be ejected into a hole..."

Before Little Chestnut could finish his words, Good Opera's mouth suddenly drooped, and he reached out to cover the thigh that had just been "ravaged", and interrupted him with a somewhat resentful complaint.

"……what?"

His narration and train of thought were interrupted, and Oguruma was unable to react for a moment.

But good opera has figured it out.

"Just kidding. I think I know what Senior means."

Under Oguruma's surprised gaze, Good Opera also took the position of holding the cup and also flicked the cup with his fingers.

"I guess what you mean is that our bodies are just like this porcelain cup."

"If you flick it, there might not even be a crack visible to the naked eye."

"But the damage itself is still there, it's just that you can't see it, but it's not gone."

"If it keeps bouncing, it will continue to take a little bit of damage, and in the end..."

She suddenly squeezed the hand that was "holding the cup" tightly.

"Maybe you don't need to use so much force. Just a slight touch will shatter the whole cup."

"Ah..." After staring blankly at the opera for a while, Little Chestnut Hat smiled and nodded, "You really can understand it."

"Like I said, you really want to win, and you really want to be the horse racing girl of your dreams."

“It takes effort, yes.”

"But our bodies have their limits after all."

"Your previous self-training has given you an outstanding foundation among horse girls of your age. Although I don't understand much about the statistics, from what Kitahara and the others said, your abilities are outstanding."

“It’s also about self-training.”

"You don't look like you need muscle bandages anymore, but you still have injuries."

"Otherwise, I just imitated the technique of the 'fascia knife' and you wouldn't be in so much pain."

"Now that you have officially joined the Eternal Club, you must follow the training methods here."

"Train when you should train, rest when you should rest, eat well when you should eat, and have fun when you should hang out with everyone."

“I think this kind of training or career is the only way to truly realize the dream of being the strongest, fastest, and most beautiful.”

After speaking his mind with a smile, Little Chestnut Hat looked at Good Opera's slightly stunned and thoughtful expression, and stretched out his hand with a smile.

This time he didn't touch her thigh or anything, but he touched the top of Good Opera's head and rubbed her cheeks, just like he did to his sister, Oguri Roman.

“Although I don’t know much about opera, I feel that the performances of good operas during the summer festival are outstanding.”

"I look forward to you becoming the horse racing girl of your dreams, and then performing your own grand opera at Winning Live."

"Senpai Oguruma-senpai..."

With flickering eyes, staring blankly at Chestnut Hat who was pinching his cheek, Good Opera subconsciously took a step forward and was about to speak out about the warm feeling in his heart, when suddenly he saw Chestnut Hat thinking and speaking again.

"Oh, by the way, if it hurts you so much just now because of my simple scratch..."

Pinching his chin, Xiao Limao looked over thoughtfully.

"Then we will start the formal training of the Eternal Club. The pain will spread all over the body."

"It is to use the fascia knife to regulate the whole body."

"This, I feel like you need to be prepared for opera or something."

The flower bed suddenly became quiet.

After a while.

"N-ni ...

As if sensing something bad, screams began to drift far away.
