Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 279 Tell me, how do we win this kind of game...?
As an older sister, Oguri Mao naturally hopes that Oguri Roman can win the second division.

But contrary to expectations, although Roman Oguri entered an extremely fast final sprint stage about 100 meters away from the finish line, he still failed to be the first to enter the handover area.

The junction of the second and third competition areas is the "outdoor stage area".

On weekdays, the Jockey Girls practice their "Winner's Stage" moves in the dance studio and outdoor stage area.

Sometimes, some horse girls will perform small-scale performances on stage privately or according to class requirements.

At that time, the classmates and friends of the performing Uma Musume can watch it live.

At this moment, there is also a performance-like scene on the outdoor stage.

There are five Taiko drum master game machines commonly used in game halls, and the contestants in the next stage are in front of the corresponding game machines.

After completing the handover with the previous teammate, the ready contestants began to compete and perform one by one to the songs played by the game console.

The brisk drum beats triggered cheers from the audience, but Oguruma felt a little uneasy about the excitement shown on the phone screen and pulled his ears.

"Xiao Xiaoli accelerated too late. If he could have accelerated earlier, or if the race was about 100 meters longer, maybe..."

Shaking her head, her tone was full of regret.

At the same time, she also noticed Super Xiaowan and Mebai Aldan beside her looking at her in surprise.

"...what's wrong?"

She touched her cheek in surprise, "Is there something strange on my face, Xiaowan, Aldan?"

"...That's not the case."

Xiao Haiwan reacted first, and there was surprise and warmth in her tone.

"Or rather, I just didn't expect that you, Xiaoli, who usually looks like you don't care about anything, would be so nervous when encountering your sister's competition."

"The way you looked just now, I was afraid you might crush your phone."

Being able to run at a high speed of 60 kilometers per hour, the strength of Uma Musume should not be underestimated, and the description of her as a super small bay is not an exaggeration.

"Of course... Oh, I mean I'll be nervous about Ooguri's game."

Nodding as if it was a matter of course, Xiaolimao affirmed: "When I was watching Xiaoli's competition just now, I had the urge to run for her."

"Although that is certainly impossible."

"If I really play in the game, it will be too unfair to Bai Ren and the others."

"Their growth and experience are still too shallow."

"You really can imagine, Xiaoli, running on the field for your sister."

Mejiro Aldan smiled, then agreed: "But then again, if I were watching McQueen participate in such an event, I might have similar thoughts."

"I think everyone has similar thoughts when they see their sisters running on the field."

Oguruma nodded in agreement, then thought about it.

"If that's the case..."

"Isn't there a competition that McQueen will participate in this afternoon?"

"Besides, I'm competing with horse racing girls from abroad."

"Such a competition should be a bit difficult for McQueen, Emperor, Mi Yu and the others, right?"

"That's true. And since you mentioned the game this afternoon, Xiaoli..."

Hesitantly glancing at the Super Bay nearby, Aldan said, "For the afternoon match, Emperor and the others seem very confident..."

As she spoke, she briefly described her previous conversation with the Emperor of the East China Sea and the others in the infirmary, and then continued:

“It’s definitely a good thing to have confidence.”

“But Xiao Haiwan and I are a little worried. Without the experience of playing against foreign opponents, they may have a certain advantage in mentality, but they will still face many unexpected situations in the actual game.”

"Since you mentioned the afternoon's event, Xiaoli, what do you think?"

"Thoughts... I don't feel anything."

Xiao Limao shook his head in confusion, "During the previous training, I felt that the emperor and the others should be well prepared."

"In order to prepare for this event which is completely different from their previous training, they spent a long time doing special training on rhythm coordination."

"With this kind of training, I think the chances of winning are pretty good."

“Moreover, we often run alongside them and have talked to them about the characteristics of overseas horse racing girls.”

"This is a lot of preparation. I don't think I have any other ideas."

Once again, she repeated her words, and her expression changed again.

"By the way, those horse girls from Europe all live off campus, so I'm afraid they won't come to the academy until before the afternoon competition."

"Ningjing, her friend, and another classmate also played together at the activity center last night."

"They should be with Xiaoyu, Inari, and Xiaote right now, right?"

"How about we call them and ask them how they are preparing?"

"If I could know a little bit about Ningjing and the others' plans, maybe I could help the Emperor and the others."

In the youth version of the Japan Cup event to be held that day, under the negotiation between Yongwu and Luduo, the horse racing girls from Europe all stayed in the hotel where the former were staying.

The Tokyo stadium was also used for training.

The Tokyo stadium is the venue for the Japan Cup of the Shining Series. By practicing here, Yongwu is obviously preparing for the event as if it were a formal competition.

The American horse racing ladies led by the Seattle Slalom are much more easy-going.

The president of the United States Federal Tereson College himself lives in the college dormitory, as do Sunday Tranquility, Plain Gentleman and Golden Phoenix.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Sunday Ningjing, Pingyi Gentleman are familiar with members of the Eternal Club such as Beiyuan and Special Zhou.

Especially with the relationship with Rokuhei Ginjiro, the visit from the American side was more relaxed.

So not only do they live nearby in the academy, but they also conduct their training on weekdays at the academy training ground. On Sundays, Ning Jing and other horse girls have three meals a day and rest with Special Zhou and other girls who are closer in age.

For example, on their days off, the horse girls would either go shopping in Harajuku, Akihabara and other areas, or hang out together at the activity center in Hongo Dormitory next to the academy.

He mentioned asking Zhou Ri Ning Jing about the match arrangements, and Xiao Li Mao did so because he thought about the harmonious relationship between the two sides during this period of time.

However, after hearing her suggestion, Super Cove and Mejiro Aldan were stunned.

Soon, Xiao Wan laughed awkwardly.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate, Xiaoli?"

"Not so good? Why?" Little Chestnut Hat wondered.

"I feel like it's a bit too much to ask about the Emperor and the others' opponents like this, right?"

Touching his chin, Xiao Wan thought: "If I remember correctly, I happened to hear Kitahara talking about some things about the afternoon game during training."

"He has specifically discussed this with Emperor, McQueen and the others, as well as President Luduo. Our morning competition is more to increase the popularity of the Thanksgiving Festival."

“It’s okay to have some fun and have some fun.”

"At most, we have some special tasks to see if the new 'decisive server' can produce any effect in the competition."

After coming to the dormitory from the infirmary and waiting for Oguruma to finish watching the game, the three horse girls had already arrived at the floor where the dormitory was located.

Their dormitories were not far from each other. As they talked, they had already prepared their "costumes" for the competition and their replacement sportswear.

The Super Cove competition requires the "Mummy Theme Winning Costume" that you wear to the haunted house.

The one with the little chestnut hat is "Christmas theme".

Mejiro Aldan's is the "Emerald Green Dance Costume".

This outfit is much more capable and simple than her G1 victory suit which was like an evening gown.

The overall look is a slim-fit suit of butler style, with pure white as the main color, and some sky-blue decorations on the collar, cuffs, buttons, etc., which makes Aldan look less docile and shy in the past, and looks quite handsome.

Regarding the speculation of the "new decisive suit", Kitahara not only discussed it with Ludo Symbol and other student union operators, but also informed Oguruma and the others in detail. The latter knew very well that if the new suit could be used in competitions other than the Shining Series, the Eternal Club would have a great initiative in future competitions.

Therefore, in this competition, rather than the final victory or defeat, the five horse girls wanted to go all out to try out the new abilities of the decisive clothes.

Apart from the matter of the deciding uniform, Kitahara did not mention much about the Youth Edition Japan Cup in front of them.

But just as Xiao Haiwan said, Beiyuan did not deliberately conceal it, and she still had a general understanding of the situation.

"The competition that the emperor and the others participated in is a little different from ours."

Xiao Haiwan then said seriously: "Before their competition, we seniors can give them advice based on our experience."

"After they compete, they will provide us with experience in return."

“So the significance of this event is far greater than ours.”

“The other two sides also thought and acted in the same way.”

"Senior Yongwu has never practiced in the academy. He completed his pre-match special training in complete secrecy."

"During this period, Beiyuan and President Lu Duo did not deliberately inquire about it, and also asked major media to reduce interviews and reports."

"Although Senior Seattle Maelstrom didn't hide anything, Kitahara and the others rarely asked about it."

Her expression grew serious.

"But from casual observations and Xiaote's usual chats, Ning Jing's training is quite strict."

“The training has been very effective.”

"They are also conducting targeted rhythm coordination training."

"Under the circumstances, it would be presumptuous for us to rashly inquire about anything."

"Especially since they didn't ask about our training, it would be even more presumptuous to ask."

After hearing Xiao Haiwan's analysis, Xiao Limao was a little stunned.

"Uh... I haven't thought about what you said about Xiaowan..."

She scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly: "But it sounds reasonable."

"Then don't ask."

"Besides, Ningjing and the others might be playing with Xiaote and the others right now, so we won't disturb them."

"It just so happens that we also need to change clothes."

"Oh, by the way, although we can't disturb Ningjing and the others, we need to call Xiaoyu and Inari."

"I don't know where they went to play. They haven't come back yet."

"The obstacle relay race is almost at the fourth stage. If they don't come, they'll be late."

As she spoke, she shook her phone and pointed to the Bluetooth headset she had been wearing.

Coincidentally, on the screen was the infirmary that the three of them had left before, which was also the starting point of the last leg of the obstacle relay race from the third zone to the fourth zone.

The fourth race zone is located at the Carrot Farm, and the horse girl at the starting point is ready.

The place where the fourth competition area ends is exactly where Oguruma and the others are in the dormitory.

After starting from this position, Oguruma and the others will return to the first competition area, which is the grass track of the academy training ground, which will be the final competition stage for the entire obstacle relay race.

Coincidentally, in the audience seats next to the grass track of the training ground, there were also people who were watching the game while talking about the topic that had just ended between Oguruma, Little Bay and Aldan.

"Hey, old man, are you really not interested in asking your nephew how he plans to arrange the afternoon's game?"

With her arms folded and staring at the big screen facing the audience seats on the training ground, Zhou Ningjing pursed her lips and asked casually to the person next to her.

"Or are you confident that the three of us have a chance of winning this afternoon?"

"You can't tell, even though you're usually so rude to me, you still trust me in your heart."

"How do you say this in Japanese?"

"Oh yeah, it's called 'Tsundere', right?"

"Oh my God, I suddenly feel a little disgusted by myself for calling you an old man arrogant."

Ning Jing stood at the front of the audience on Sunday.

Beside her were two horse girls of similar age and an older trainer.

A horse racing girl with long brown-red hair, her temperament is calm and yet vaguely noble.

She was not moved at all by Sunday's quiet and strange words. She just put her hands on the railing of the audience and watched the game on the big screen in the distance quietly.

The other horse girl had short silver-gray to black hair, obviously of reed-haired descent. She had a similar posture to the horse girl with long brown-red hair, and was also looking at the screen.

However, her expression was obviously nervous, and her hands holding the railing twisted from time to time.

The older trainer was Kitahara's uncle, Rokuhei Ginjiro. The moment he heard Zhou Ri Ning's strange words, veins bulged on his forehead.

Ginjiro Rokuhei held the cane tightly in his hand and stared at the screen, and couldn't help but speak in a snort.

"Ningjing, you, if you..."

But he was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"If there were a gentleman and a phoenix half as obedient, you would have less worries, right?"

After a blunt remark, Zhou Ri Ningjing rolled her eyes.

"Awesome, I'm really awesome. I even learned how to answer quickly."

Then, without waiting for Rokuhei Ginjiro to explode, she suddenly narrowed her eyes, and like the Plain Gentleman and Golden Phoenix beside her, she stared at the game on the screen, holding the railing in front of her with both hands.

"But... In this situation, no matter how worry-free you are, how can I be worry-free?"

These words stunned Rokuhei Ginjiro, who was about to scold.

Then he heard Sunday Ningjing's strange and low mumbling to herself.

"Inexplicable..."

“What’s going on…?”

“Even if there are horse girls in Japan who can see talent and potential like me…”

"But isn't this too much...?"

"Silence Suzuka at the beginning, Taiki Shuttle, and their opponents..."

"That kind of talent for escaping the Great Wall, that kind of adaptability to short distances, it's no exaggeration to say that he's one in a thousand..."

"The same goes for the ones after that, Narita Brian, Oguri Roman..."

"Especially Roman. Does she want to become the new Ash-haired monster of Japan like her sister...?"

"We can almost catch up with that gap..."

"And these five guys right now."

"The one with the big head is Biwa Hayahide, right? We both have the same hair color, and if we don't consider age, I even think her potential is better than Phoenix's..."

As she was talking, Zhou Ri Ningjing couldn't help but glance at her companion beside her, and coincidentally, the other side also cast a nervous look at her.

Zhou Ri Ningjing did not respond much to Jin Fenghuang's gaze, but frowned and looked at Liuping Ginjiro on the other side.

"It's fine if you and Guild President Hui Xuan don't plan to inquire about our opponents."

"I just want to confirm..."

"Even in this kind of playful obstacle relay race, these Japanese horse racing girls are better than each other."

"The players in the Japan Cup competition will definitely be stronger, right?"

"How do you think you're going to win against an opponent like that, Liu Ping?"
