Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 276 I won't act anymore, they are just very strong (1w)

Kitahara was sweating profusely after discovering the content of the event, but Oguruma, who was sitting next to him at the ramen stall, still looked clueless.

All she cared about was the ramen itself.

"Kitahara, stop being in a daze."

She urged anxiously, looked around, squeezed the hand holding Kitahara's, and said with some concern:
"Look, the others who came to challenge have started eating."

"If we don't start, we're going to lose."

She suddenly became excited again and said, "Although this is not a walking competition, since it is related to eating, I must not lose."

...Uh, is this all you care about...

Beiyuan became even more helpless.

And just now when Oguruma was urging him, he happened to be looking around awkwardly.

The visitors or challengers around were indeed feasting on the food, and due to the rules of the challenge, each group of challengers consisted of a man and a woman, and the method was also a very ambiguous "feeding play".

Perhaps it was because Oguruma was now famous, and those challengers must have recognized her.

Some even recognized Kitahara as the trainer.

In short, while they cooperated to complete the challenge, they secretly looked at this side with ambiguous eyes, whispered to each other from time to time, and laughed.

This is such a headache. Why didn't I ask clearly what this challenge was at the beginning...

Or should we blame Japan for starting love education too early? Both the organizers and participants are enjoying this kind of activity so much...

Kitahara has some understanding of Japan's education on love.

Not only from the perspective of animation and film and television, but also from what I have seen and heard as a trainer and half educator.

For example, Central Tresen College has opened corresponding courses for students very early on.

Education in physiological hygiene is mainly provided through physiology classes. In addition to relevant knowledge, some psychological counseling is also interspersed.

Each class will also have a life teacher to provide guidance.

If students encounter relationship problems, they can communicate with such teachers at any time. Of course, they can also consult on other matters related to life.

This made Kitahara realize early on that the concept of love here was quite precocious and, to a certain extent, reasonable.

However, it was not until this event that he realized that this precocity and rationality seemed a bit excessive.

Or maybe it was a bit too much for him.

Because vaguely, his habitual rational thinking made him realize that the reason why he accidentally participated in this love challenge with Oguruma was essentially because he lacked experience in this area.

He had no idea how to handle the situation.

So, this is actually my own problem...?
Just when I thought of this, I suddenly heard Xiao Limao urging me anxiously again.

With complicated thoughts, Kitahara didn't think too much. He just picked up the ramen with chopsticks and brought it to Oguruma's mouth according to the requirements of this ramen challenge.

"Ah-woo-slurp-gulp!"

I didn't see whether he chewed it or not, but after taking a mouthful of ramen, Oguruma said excitedly:
"Hurry! It's not enough! Keep going, Kitahara!"

...Why does it feel a little weird...

A strange thought flashed through Kitahara's mind, and it also diluted the faint laughter from the people around him. With a hint of gagging, he quickly picked up another mouthful of ramen and sent it out.

It seems that after doing something for the first time, the second time will seem much easier.

This time, Kitahara felt that he didn't have as many inexplicable thoughts as before.

He just started feeding Little Chestnut casually.

Then, as he became more proficient, he began to feel vaguely amused as he looked at the bulging and deflation of Little Chestnut's cheeks.

As a result, the feeling of embarrassment seemed to have eased a lot, and I could speak freely.

"Although it is a challenge, you don't have to be so impatient."

Looking at Xiaolimao's bulging cheeks with some amusement, he subconsciously used chopsticks to scoop noodles from the bowl after his cheeks quickly deflated. When he found that there was not much left, Beiyuan smiled and said:
"Look, we're almost done eating. As for the others..."

He casually looked around and saw that there seemed to be a lot of noodles left in the other challengers' bowls. He scooped out the noodles on his side in one go as if he was familiar with it.

"Here, that's all there is left. Open your mouth, ah——"

For a moment, he felt that this kind of feeding was quite interesting.

With a "ah", Oguruma finished the last bite of ramen quickly, and before he could swallow it, he stood up and raised his hands high.

"Wow! Number one for eating!"

Because they were still holding hands, Kitahara was caught off guard and was pulled up, staggering slightly.

After hearing the unclear celebration of Oguruma, he felt the same awkward feeling again.

"As expected, you really are here just to eat ramen..."

"Yeah, I just heard there was free ramen here, and there were pre-dinner activities, so I came here."

At this time, Oguruma had already swallowed the ramen and subconsciously reached his hand to his mouth.

"I'm going to run the 'Obstacle Relay Race' next. If I don't have enough to eat, I might not be able to outrun Xiaoyu and the others."

"Luckily, there is ramen here, and everyone gave me so many snacks along the way, so I won't have any problems with the competition."

"I'll be very hungry if I compete, and after the competition it will be the 'big eater derby'."

"It's a perfect arrangement. Am I very smart, Kitahara?"

She couldn't help but make a V with her hand that reached to her mouth, and she looked rarely proud.

"Well, witty, very witty."

It was a bit funny for a moment, and suddenly he saw some oil stains on the mouth of Xiaoli's hat. Without thinking much about it, Kitahara felt in his pocket and took out a pack of tissues.

He let go of the hand that he had been holding with Oguribao, took out a tissue, and naturally wiped the corners of Oguribao's mouth.

Oguruma did not avoid it either. After letting Kitahara wipe his lips clean, his eyes suddenly moved and he asked curiously:
"By the way, Kitahara, do you know what kind of event we just participated in?"

"I remember that I didn't pay much attention when I first joined. I think I asked Xiao Xiaoli and other classmates."

"But for some reason, they didn't tell me, but..."

She scratched her head. "Maybe they told me about it and I forgot."

The wiping action stopped, almost instantly, and the feeling of being cheated emerged in Kitahara's heart.

He really didn't know much about love, but he knew very well about watching the fun.

It would have been fine if Oguruma hadn't asked, or had only asked once.

But according to what she said, no one told her after asking several times, which can only mean that, including her sister Oguri Roman, those who knew the truth seemed to be hiding it from Oguri with the intention of letting others know.

Kitahara has now realized that Oguruma knows nothing about this activity, or about love.

The impression I give to others on a daily basis is that I don’t care about anything other than training and competitions.

Other people should be aware of this. Maybe it is precisely because they are aware of this that they want to see if it would be fun to see these two people who have no idea about love participating in a love event.

...I didn't expect that Xiao Xiaoli, who is usually well-behaved and sensible, would cheat her sister like this...

Of course, it is also possible that someone may have led him astray...

In short, if they want to see a good show, I'm afraid they will be disappointed. After all, it's okay for me, but Xiao Limao still doesn't know what event he is participating in...

That's fine for now, nothing happened anyway...

While thinking about it, Kitahara suddenly heard Oguruma ask casually:
"So, Kitahara, you don't know what this activity is?"

I felt like I had figured out the whole story and felt a little relieved.

So without thinking too much, Kitahara responded casually.

"Ah, a love challenge event, if you're interested..."

His heart moved and he laughed, "By the way, the video of today's Thanksgiving Festival should be replayed on Umamusume TV tonight."

"If you're interested, you can take a look at it in the evening."

When he heard the "love challenge", Oguruma was slightly startled, his eyes were a little dazed, and then he nodded:

"Is that so... Then let's wait and see in the evening."

Then, she said excitedly, "Then next, I will go to the 'Obstacle Relay Race'."

"Kitahara, you should be busy too, right?"

"Then we'll see each other after the game."

At first, Kitahara wanted to say that he didn't have much to do next.

However, he soon remembered that before coming here to accompany Xiaolimao to participate in the challenge, he originally wanted to go to the director's room to confirm the situation at the Luduo symbol.

The highlights of the Thanksgiving Day are undoubtedly the "Obstacle Relay Race" in the morning and the "Youth Edition Japan Cup" in the afternoon.

Needless to say, the afternoon match was very popular. It was originally prepared according to the official competition, and Akikawa Yayoi's publicity idea was also targeted at the "Japan Cup".

Such events have attracted considerable attention both in Japan and overseas.

The "Obstacle Relay Race" in the morning also attracted considerable attention, but the attention was concentrated on people in the industry.

If this game can achieve similar results to the previous relay race, it will be enough to prove that Japan's Tresen Academy has an extremely outstanding discovery system.

In this way, both Japanese and international public opinion will have a higher evaluation of the former's overall level.

The Eternal Club will also benefit from this.

The core operating idea of ​​the entire Uma Musume industry is still capital, and more exciting events can drive quite exaggerated capital flows.

This is the basic idea behind the operation of the Shining Series and the foundation for all major URA associations.

Even if Central Tresen College wants to train a horse girl, it has to start from the beginning, otherwise it means a huge investment risk.

Success in the obstacle relay race can greatly reduce or even eliminate this risk, which is something all investors would be happy to see.

So, after saying goodbye to Oguruma, he quickly rushed to the director's room.

When he arrived at the door and was about to knock to enter, he suddenly heard a faint angry and amused voice coming from inside.

"…Even if that's the case, Maruzen, you're taking it too seriously, aren't you? Aren't you worried that Kitahara will get angry if he finds out?"

"Hey, hey, what you said is wrong. Wasn't it Luduo who was laughing just now? Now you want to blame me?"

"I was..."

"I think it's pretty good. Although the surveillance doesn't show much, feelings are something that must be cultivated slowly. Don't you think so, Yongwu?"

"I find it very interesting as well. If I remember correctly, the parents of your student council representative Chiaki are also a trainer and a horse girl, so it seems that there won't be any problem if there is another couple."

"Yes, yes, that's what I thought, so I came to discuss it with Lu Duo. As a result, you see, she still blames me."

"That's not what I meant...Okay, I admit that I was very interested in Kitahara and Oguruma's participation in the love challenge, and I watched the live broadcast for a while...I mean the surveillance video, but didn't it happen that nothing happened? So let's just pretend that nothing happened, otherwise they might be very embarrassed..."

After standing outside the director's room and listening for a while, Kitahara could roughly make out the voices of Rudo Symbol, Seattle Spin, Yongwu and Maruzenski, and was completely speechless.

...You knew it would be awkward, but you still joined in the fun and even treated the surveillance video as a live broadcast?

So horse girls also gossip among themselves?
Especially Luduo, you look like a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but you are so gossipy? !

There are two other student union presidents. Are you usually so free?
You are the most annoying one, right?!
As the vice president of the student union, you must know about the love challenge event, but why didn’t you remind me?

But after being speechless for a while, he finally sighed silently, pretended that he heard nothing, reached out and knocked on the door, and when he entered, he acted as if he knew nothing.

"Strange, Beiyuan, why are you here? Oh, yes, you said before that you wanted to come to the director's room to check on the situation here at Luduo."

After greeting him, Maruzenski also looked like he knew nothing and said nothing, and said with a smile:
"It just so happens that the obstacle relay race is about to begin, and the participating students have basically finished their various activities."

"In this case, isn't it time to notify all parties to be ready?"

When asking, Maruzenski's eyes were already looking at the Rudo symbol.

Not only her, but also Seattle Slalom who volunteered to be the commentator, Yongwu who was the special guest, and Kitahara all looked at the Luduo symbol.

"Well, we were... ahem, I mean, we were discussing this matter before."

After accidentally saying something that made things more obvious, Lu Duo quickly said, "I was originally planning to organize the obstacle relay race later."

"Since Kitahara is here now, you can notify the staff in advance."

"In this way, with you as the initiator of the project, any oversights can be dealt with directly."

"Then I will communicate with all parties."

The student union president put a lot of thought into the Thanksgiving events and made detailed arrangements in every aspect.

Although it is called communication, in fact, what is transmitted through the internal communication of the director's room are clear and specific commands.

Kitahara and Maruzenski were very familiar with Rudolf's symbolism and did not feel anything special about this arrangement. The latter was always so decisive and efficient.

The Seattle Spin and the Brave Dance had admiring looks in their eyes.

As both of them are student union presidents, they know very well that when coordinating and arranging an event, the prior planning may be perfect, but there will be many problems in the actual implementation.

Being able to give orders as easily and smoothly as Lu Duo and have them executed smoothly is a test of a president's daily prestige, prior preparation, and ability to respond to emergencies.

"That's great, Luduo. Even though the obstacle relay race hasn't started yet, I'm already looking forward to it just by looking at your preparations and current arrangements."

Seattle Slalom praised directly: "If the next event is as exciting as the ones we have seen before... No, I should say it is half as exciting."

"If it can be half as exciting as the one you held in the summer, I think I should consider discussing with Shi Yan and the others about holding such an event in the United States."

"Oh, by the way, let me be clear, I'm not pessimistic about the upcoming game."

"After all, last time we had you, Maruzen, and other horse racing girls of the same strength as you."

"This time, there are only juniors who haven't debuted yet."

"I think it would be great if I could be half as good as you guys."

As a horse racing girl born in the United States, the expression of Seattle Slalom is quite direct.

Regarding her early evaluation, Luduo, Maruzen, and Kitahara, who proposed the plan and had a better understanding of the contestants, were unable to say anything.

After all, if I accept it frankly, it would seem like I am showing weakness in front of foreign guests, but if I deny it, it would seem like I am too arrogant.

Compared with the Seattle Slalom, the attitude of the Yongwu is much more relaxed.

"Don't jump to conclusions yet, just go back."

She said calmly: "Even in terms of speed and endurance, they can't compare with the current players."

"But in terms of talent, I think these younger Japanese players will not disappoint us."

These words surprised Beiyuan and the others, but Yongwu was unaware and just smiled.

"Anyway, just wait and see."

Although he said this, in Yongwu's heart, he actually valued the upcoming competition much more than he showed.

Or to be more precise, it is the vision of the trainer named Kitahara Joi.

Originally, she had only met him in the Yesen exchange competition and in Europe, so she didn’t think much of this young trainer.

In her opinion, even with outstanding talents, many objective factors will still affect the development of Japanese trainers.

The most direct factors are funding, technology, vision and other factors other than training knowledge.

Knowledge is actually very easy to learn, and there is essentially not much difference in the knowledge taught in the Teresen Colleges and Trainer Schools in various countries.

The key is to transform knowledge into resources for training effects and competition results.

She feels her trainer, Khalid, is the most obvious example.

Her talent as a trainer is not top-notch, but she has top-notch resources at her disposal, which is enough to make up for many gaps.

Take the training ground for example.

While other horse girls still had to train according to the schedule arranged by the academy, she already had her own independent venue for special training under various conditions.

In addition, there are also various adaptive horse girls to run against.

She originally thought that there weren’t many horse girls who could have such an advantage in the world competition.

However, after meeting Beiyuan, she gradually realized that this idea might not be correct.

At the very least, through investigating and analyzing this trainer and his horse racing wives, Yongwu discovered that even if they couldn't have an independent venue, their actual training conditions were not necessarily worse than his own.

Not to mention the medical level, my condition still requires assistance from here, and the treatment direction was first proposed by Japan.

The venue may not be big enough, but the wind tunnel equipment, track simulation, data rendering and other technologies are extremely advanced training ideas even in Europe.

Most European Tracen schools don't even have the conditions to offer such training.

The most important thing is research in the field.

To be honest, she couldn't figure out what level Beiyuan's research in the field was at.

Intuitively, she felt that this trainer might have knowledge in this field that was beyond the world level.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why even herself and other horse girls in Europe have not mastered the field skills, but can be seen in a horse girl like Oguruma who is only in the classic year.

This concerned her a lot, especially after she learned about the two games at the Thanksgiving Festival.

If Kitahara really has more in-depth research in the field, he could even expand this research to Umamusume who has not yet debuted.

This will be a significant event for the entire horse racing girl world.

From an industry perspective, she would certainly be happy to see research that would allow more horse girls to unleash their talents. As a European horse girl and the student council president of Yesen College, if this kind of research was not in her hands, perhaps in a few years, the international trend and focus might shift to Japan.

So, let's see what kind of changes you can bring to the Japanese horse racing ladies and the entire industry...

Mr. Kitahara Joi...

After briefly explaining his point of view with the help of an image of frailty, Yongwu lay down in the chair with his eyes closed as if to rest.

She closed her eyes slightly, and only used a little peripheral vision to vaguely glance at Kitahara who was trying to help Rudor and Maruzenski process some information.

Thanks to thorough preparations and precise instructions and execution, preparations for the obstacle relay race went smoothly.

Unlike the Shining Event, this competition did not have an introduction circle segment, but instead directly introduced the contestants through screens across campus.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Kitahara considered appearing in the circle segment but ultimately gave up.

Because none of the horse racing ladies participating in this competition had completed their debut race, they had no competition results and were unable to make a regular debut introduction.

This can only be replaced by the explanation of the schedule, interspersed with some basic information and explanation of the preparation status.

However, Kitahara knew very well that after this game...

Or there is no need to end it, whether it is the audience at the scene or the people who are following the event outside, they will understand that those horse racing girls are all talented with outstanding qualifications.

"Welcome to the Central Tresen College Autumn Twinkle Series Thanksgiving Festival."

"As the student council president, on behalf of the academy, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the guests for their continued support for Uma Musume."

As Ludo's symbolic opening remarks began, the crowds on the big screens in the director's room began to stir.

Even if all sounds other than those of the staff were blocked, just from the surprised expressions and cheers of the crowd, one could feel that the already lively atmosphere on campus had become even more exciting.

"As everyone has been expecting, the popular morning activities of the Thanksgiving Festival are about to begin."

"This event is called the 'Thanksgiving Obstacle Relay Race' and it will be an ekiden race led by the popular Eternal Combination 'ITOMS' of the Shining Series."

“The five participating teams are also named I, T, O, M, and S.”

"Guests can look for special 'horseshoe coins' at the Thanksgiving Festival venue and cheer for their favorite team."

"ITOMS" is the group name thought up for this event, and naturally refers to the five horse racing girls including Oguruma.

After arranging them from oldest to youngest according to age, we selected the first letters of their names in Romanized form and put them together to create this name.

This type of combination is in line with the usual style of the Japanese idol industry, and it is also the first time that the horse racing girls of the Eternal Club have launched a combination.

So after Luduo's symbolic explanation, the people on the screen in the director's room were all stunned for a moment, and soon they all called out the group name "ITOMS".

Perhaps because all the enthusiasm was directed towards Oguruma and the others, when Ludo symbolized the next part of the introduction, people's reactions seemed to be less enthusiastic.

"The first area of ​​the competition is the 'Thanksgiving Haunted House', located in the Academy Affairs Hall."

"In this area, the contestants need to start from the grass field of the training ground, go to the 'Thanksgiving Haunted House', find the baton, and then go to the second area."

"The players in the first division are as follows."

"Team I's Big Tree Express."

"This contestant was born in the United States across the ocean, and just transferred to Central Teresin College this semester."

“She has excellent adaptability to short distances and is very good at running ahead.”

"For today's competition, the outfit she prepared is very cowboy-style, and she looks like she will complete her stage with precision and speed like a gunfighter duel."

In order to cooperate with Luduo, the director's main perspective screen switched in time with her commentary content.

As soon as the name "Dashu Express" appeared, a lively and cheerful horse racing girl appeared on the screen.

A green vest and a green skirt with star decorations similar to the American flag.

With a cowboy hat on his back, a revolver slung across his waist, and high-waisted leather boots on his feet, he was indeed dressed in a cowboy style as Ruduo had said.

When he heard his own introduction, the Dashu Kuaiche on the screen took out a pistol in a very cool manner, quickly rotated it a few times while hanging it on his finger, and then held it accurately in his hand, making a shooting gesture.

While Luduo was explaining, Seattle Spin and Yongwu asked Kitahara before it was their turn to cooperate.

"Speaking of which, does this count as intercepting? Of course, I mean intercepting Yongwu's Hu. In Japanese, it's called 'jiehu', right?"

With a joking tone, Seattle looked at Yongwu mischievously, then looked at Beiyuan.

“I didn’t know much about Dashu Express at first, but when I looked up information later, I found out that she originally wanted to study abroad in Ireland.”

"It must be because of the last educational competition that I ended up in Japan."

"Hmm, it looks like he's very good at exerting force over short distances. How about that, Yongwu? Do you feel disappointed that the talent in your hands has run away?"

Hearing this, Yongwu smiled.

"Even if she went to Europe, as you said, it was Ireland, not Great Britain. Why should I be disappointed?"

She responded casually, glancing at Kitahara. "What makes me curious is that the Japanese people are so confident in letting her attend the Thanksgiving Festival after she just transferred to Japan."

"It seems like everyone is very optimistic about this Big Tree Express?"

...It's not a question of whether or not to be optimistic about her, but she is a "mile king" who is no less than Oguruma...

Feeling emotional, Beiyuan fell into deep thought.

Although there wasn't much tentativeness in the conversation between Yongwu and Seattle, he heard it clearly.

He didn't want to hide anything. If he really wanted to hide something, there might not be this competition.

There is no point in hiding it. If the goal is to create a better world for Uma Musume, hiding it will not play any good role, but will instead create obstacles.

So when he heard the questions from two foreign student council presidents, Kitahara simply spread his hands.

"I'm not optimistic about the Daishu Express. I'm optimistic about all the horse girls participating in this competition. That's all."

Then, in the slightly surprised eyes of Seattle Slalom and Yongwu, he pointed at the horse racing ladies that were displayed one by one on the broadcast screen and said with a smile:
“It’s not just the Big Tree Express.”

"Team T's gas tank has very good gas quality. Miles, middle distances, and leading and trail running are not a problem for her."

"Silent Suzuka from Team O, I think you will soon see her unique talent in the big escape."

“Although the mileage may not be that strong, if we are to catch up with the silent Suzuka who escaped, I think Team M’s Taikan Fukurai will have no problem.”

"As for the Golden Journey... well, if she doesn't get angry and let us go, her powerful ability to chase after her will give her opponents a headache."

"I think I understand what you two mean."

Facing the increasingly surprised looks of the two student council presidents, Kitahara glanced briefly at Luduo who was directing the show, and Maruzenski beside him.

After looking at the two of them for a moment and getting a positive answer, he turned back to look at Seattle and Yongwu and said calmly:
"Everyone belongs to the Teresen Academy in different countries. It is normal for us to want to compete with each other in future competitions, whether it is ourselves or the younger generations."

"But I'm a very straightforward person. What I want to say is that even if we have to compete, creating a better world for Uma Musume should be something we all hope for."

“Like President Slalom said, if this competition is exciting enough, maybe the United States should also hold such an event.”

“The same is true in Europe.”

"So what I understand is that you two probably want to confirm the strength of the horse racing girls in this competition."

"And, if it is really strong, how do we confirm it?"

"Then what I want to say is, yes, they are very strong."

"As for how to confirm it..."

He exchanged glances with the two horse racing girls on his side, then smiled and said, "Wait until the game is over. Of course, I mean after the game in the afternoon is over."

“Perhaps, we will have a lot to communicate about.”

Now it was Seattle Spin and Yongwu's turn to look at each other for a moment, and then the two horse girls fell silent.

"Very good. I really like your personality of speaking your mind, Kitahara. This way of communication is very much to my liking."

Shrugging, Seattle said bluntly: "What you said is exactly what I thought."

"During the education competition, the secretary-general told me to clarify some things. I was originally worried about how to learn the Japanese way of speaking."

"Since you are so direct, everything will be easy."

Turning her eyes to the director's screen, she crossed her arms.

"Just wait and see."

On the other side, Yongwu also adopted the same posture and even spoke the same words.

"Well, we'll see."

During the brief interaction in the director's room, Luduo's side had been introduced.

On the director's screen, at the starting point of the grass track in the training ground, which was crowded with guests coming to the thank-you festival, five horse racing girls who looked a little childish were taking their positions one by one.

"Okay, all the horse girls have entered the gate under the guidance of the staff."

"First it was the Taiki Express, then the Gas Trough, then the Silent Suzuka, and then... uh, there was a slight problem, it seems that the Taiki Express player."

The commentary that was going on smoothly suddenly came to a pause. Rudo, the main anchor, was stunned. Maruzenski and Kitahara next to him answered the internal call at the same time and asked the reason.

Before this side could figure out the situation, Lu Duo quickly resumed his explanation.

"I'm sorry for the delay. It seems that the player of Taishu Express has just arrived in Japan and is not very used to the width of the gate here."

"She indicated that her gates were a bit crowded."

"After communication with the staff, she exchanged gates with the silent Suzuka player."

"There are no problems at the moment, so..."

"The waiting Jianfulai and the outermost Golden Journey also entered the gate smoothly."

"'Thanksgiving Obstacle Relay Race', first division, now..."

"Start!"

The little incident at the beginning did not cause much commotion. As Luduo symbolically announced the start of the game, five figures suddenly rushed out from the starting point on the director's screen.

As they rushed out, cheers broke out from the audience areas on both sides.

Judging from the pictures, even watching the competition of horse racing girls who have not yet debuted still arouses great enthusiasm among people who love horse racing girls.

In stark contrast to the audience area, the director's room was completely silent.

To be precise, it was "complete silence" except for the normal interpretation of the Ludo symbol.

At first, Lu Duo didn't notice anything unusual, she just introduced the game situation step by step.

“All the competitors had beautiful starts, and there were no missed shots.”

"The first to grab the lead is Silent Suzuka. As mentioned before the opening, this athlete has shown excellent adaptability to the big escape in past training."

“She also chose this extremely entertaining running style for this race.”

"In her green and white race suit, at top speed, she looked like she was one with the grass."

"The gap was widened in the early stages, and Silent Suzuka was ahead by two and a half lengths at once."

"After her was the Tree Express. She didn't seem to be trying her best right after the start, but instead maintained the gap and didn't let it widen."

"Almost on par with her is Qi Tan. Her running style and running posture are more stable than other horse girls of the same age. She has a very mature demeanor."

"Following closely behind is contestant Tai-Ken Fu Lai."

“The Golden Journey at the end.”

But after finishing the usual commentary and temporarily turning off the microphone on his side, and turning to look at his successor, Lu Duo was stunned.

According to the original plan, after she finished her narration, the Seattle Spin or the Brave Dance should have made comments.

But the two horse racing girls were now staring at the director's screen, their arms clasped at the elbows, their hands seemed to be clenched nervously.

Seeing this, Ruduo made several gestures but received no response. As a last resort, she winked at Maruzenski on the other side.

This is also part of the plan. If there are any problems with the commentary, Maruzenski needs to make up for it quickly.

Thanks to years of cooperation in the Student Union and competition experience, there is no problem with the tacit understanding and ability in this regard.

While his friend was filling in the gap in his explanation, Lu Duo approached his two companions with a bit of a headache and spoke in a low voice helplessly.

"You two..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a deep voice.

"I... am not very good at escaping, but if I remember correctly..."

Yongwu had just started talking in a deep voice when he was interrupted.

"I know what you mean. I am good at leading."

With the same calm voice, Seattle Rewind stared at the director's screen.

"In the G1 Champagne Stakes, I was in the lead and finished last in 1:34, winning by 24 lengths and setting a record."

"Wood Memorial Stakes, led, won by 3 lengths."

“In the Stuyvesant Handicap, I was still leading by 3 1/4 lengths, which was also a record.”

“I also led the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes, but I just competed for a period of time.”

"If it hadn't been for the rain and poor ground conditions at the Kentucky Derby, I would have been planning to lead that race as well."

"I may not be the best horse girl ever to lead in the United States."

“But it’s definitely the best lead.”

"And this kid...Silent Suzuka, right?"

Seattle Revolving suddenly laughed, "Interesting."

"Let's not talk about how she will perform after her debut. Just based on the leading talent she has shown now, even if she is not as strong as I was before my debut, she will definitely not be much worse."

"Hey, Kitahara, is she your Umamusume?"

"Are you interested in taking her to compete in the United States?"

"It's such a waste to only compete in Japan. It's hard for her to fully display her talent in the competitions here."

"Also, if she wants to win in the future by relying on the Great Escape, she must not just rely on her talent."

"In this way, I might be able to give her some experience."

...You know what, in the anime, Silent Suzuka actually went to the United States to participate in the competition...

Although he agreed in his heart, Kitahara showed surprise on his face.

He didn't expect that the Seattle Slalom, including the Yongdance, would react so strongly to the performance of Silent Suzuka in this game.

Is it any surprise that the Silent Suzuka Escape was outstanding?

Historically, didn't Silent Suzuka always win the Nakayama Kinen, Kokura Daisho, Gold Prize, Takarazuka Kinen, and Daily Crown?

What's so surprising about this?

Although he sighed in amusement inwardly, Kitahara knew very well that he was the only one who knew this.

It's no surprise that the two horse girls were so surprised considering they knew nothing about this.

Especially in the Seattle Slalom, as the first undefeated triple crown horse girl in the history of the American URA Association, this leading running style gave her a considerable advantage in the competition.

This also made her extremely aware of this running style, both its advantages and limitations.

For example, Japan’s event structure, competition style, training methods, etc., are not good at developing escape games.

Then there are the experienced seniors.

If he were just an ordinary trainer, Kitahara felt that some of the things Seattle Spiral said were still very attractive.

But the abilities he possessed did not require him to do so.

Not only is it not necessary, he even thinks that since Seattle Slalom is so interested in Silent Suzuka, it may not be impossible for it to stay in Japan for a while longer.

"As for Silent Suzuka, she is currently a horse girl of the Eternal Club. She has already submitted an application for membership, and we have approved it."

Although he didn't answer directly, Kitahara felt that his refusal was obvious.

"So we can talk slowly about going to the United States to compete."

"And the game has just begun, maybe..."

At this time, just like the horse girls interrupted each other just now, Maruzenski, who replaced Seattle Slalom and Yuubu to take on the commentary responsibilities, suddenly raised his voice and interrupted Kitahara.

"Challenge! A player has challenged Silent Suzuka's lead that has lasted for a while!"

"Each leg of this obstacle relay race includes an 'obstacle' section, and the distance covered is not very long."

"The Big Tree Express rushed straight up!"

"She's very fast, just like her name, she rushed towards the leading silent Suzuka like a high-speed express train!"

"Perhaps, the short distance here has the advantage of being more adaptable. She has shortened the gap by a considerable amount in almost the blink of an eye!"

"On the other side! The gas tank player has also accelerated!"

"The Daishu Express gradually approached the leading Silent Suzuka on the inside lane with its short-distance skills, and chose the outside lane!"

“It’s hard to imagine that these are all wonderful performances by trainees who haven’t debuted yet, whether it’s the lead release at the beginning or the sprints in the inner and outer lanes at this moment!”

"Especially the player Qi Tan. She is more conspicuous than her two opponents in her dark blue competition uniform today. It seems that she is approaching Silent Suzuka faster than the Daiki Express!"
