Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 288 Luduo Becomes a Child (1w1)

Yongwu, Khalid and his party stayed in the five-star Grand Hyatt Hotel in Japan, which provides a full range of services from regular accommodation, buffet restaurant, foreign currency exchange to chapel and official assistance.

The geographical location is also unique among similar hotels, only a 12-minute drive from Shinjuku, one of the most prosperous areas in Japan.

The surrounding attractions such as Ginza, the Imperial Palace, the National Diet, Tokyo Tower, and the Jingu Shrine are not far away, making it very convenient for sightseeing.

However, the purpose of the European visiting group staying here is not for sightseeing. In addition to visiting the development of the Uma Musume industry, competitions, and academic exchanges, the more important purpose is Yongwu's medical treatment.

To the west of Shinjuku Ward is Chiyoda Ward, and to the northwest is Bunkyo Ward. A considerable number of Japan's wealthy people settle in Chiyoda Ward, and the latter is the scientific and educational center of Japan. The two areas are home to Japan's top hospitals and practitioners.

For example, the University of Tokyo Medical Hospital, as the affiliated hospital of the medical school of Japan's highest institution, has a long history of 160 years, and its comprehensive medical level ranks among the best in the world.

The same is true for Umamusume-related departments. A hospital of this level, coupled with top doctors in the industry such as Furukubo Ren, and the medical resources of Khalid's own team, will obviously improve the efficiency of tackling and curing Mari's disease.

During this period, Khalid spent most of his time in these hospitals and had very few interactions with the Central College.

He did not go to watch the game on the day of the thanksgiving ceremony. He just showed up at the dinner and then took Yongwu away.

On the way to the Grand Hyatt Hotel, when we were talking on the phone, as expected, the Crown Prince was just like he was staying in the hospital. When he heard about Kitahara's visit, he said he would be back from the hospital soon.

The meeting was held in a small conference room in the hotel, but there was no business atmosphere and the interior decoration looked more like a private cafe.

As soon as they met, Khalid's face was filled with unconcealed joy.

"Kitahara-kun, oh my goodness, I really should have come to Japan sooner."

He immediately grasped Kitahara's hands and shook them continuously. He said tremblingly, "I never expected that your country's medical level is so excellent. Gu Jiu-san said that Yongwu's condition can be completely cured!!"

Kitahara was a little caught off guard by such enthusiasm, and was stunned for a moment, then felt a little strange.

The Crown Prince spoke Japanese, which was obviously a last-minute request for his visit to Japan. Not only was he not fluent, but his grammar and honorifics could only be described as a mess.

There are at least three grammatical errors in just a few sentences.

Honorifics are even worse.

Kitahara actually had a headache when he first started learning Japanese honorifics.

Japanese honorifics include respectful language, humble language, and polite language. Petition language is a polite language with a wider range of use.

In the entire honorific system, verbs, sentence patterns, auxiliary verbs, and conjunctions are all subject to strict rules, and they are used differently to express respect, modesty, and politeness.

For example, using Ding Ning language is neither a sign of respect for the person being discussed nor a sign of modesty towards oneself.

Instead, one should speak solemnly to show respect for the listener and to demonstrate that one has noble upbringing.

Therefore, this kind of honorific language is also called solemn language.

When Kitahara first started learning, he often thought, isn’t this just what you say and I listen to, why do you have to make it so complicated.

But there is no way. In Japanese culture, honorifics are a very important part. Matching words must be used in different occasions, different topics, and different objects, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful and impolite.

In serious cases, it can even affect an entire business negotiation.

So Kitahara had no choice but to finally practice honorifics.

Fortunately, when dealing with Crown Prince Khalid, there is no need to worry too much about honorifics, especially since the other party is so terrible at it.

Although Kitahara didn't speak Arabic, he was fluent in English. After shaking hands with Khalid, he quickly suggested changing to English.

His opening remarks were still his usual directness, "Congratulations to you and Yongwu, I am very happy to hear the news."

In fact, deep down, he knew that Khalid's description was a bit exaggerated.

He happened to be staying at Gu Kubao Lian's house a few days ago, and took the opportunity to ask about Yongwu's situation.

The correct statement is, "There is a preliminary plan for the treatment of Marie's disease."

After spending a long time with Kokubo Ren and Miyamura Kyoko, he roughly knew what this meant.

Marie's disease, an extremely rare disease, is much more difficult to conquer than serious diseases such as cancer, but the idea is similar.

First, we need to identify the target cells at the molecular and genetic levels, and then conduct certain tests to determine which analyses, gene fragments, and cells are responsible for the disease caused by the pathogen.

The next step is still target cells. Regardless of whether it is drug therapy or gene transfer therapy, after the direction is clear, the efficacy must be confirmed on animals such as experimental mice.

This process is actually very long. Not only will there be repetitions in the tests and experiments, but the efficacy of the treatment on experimental animals must also be further studied before it can be transferred to medical subjects.

Kitahara didn't quite understand the more professional aspects, but he was sure that Khalid must have exaggerated what Kokubo Ren said.

However, if my plan goes well, I might be able to turn exaggeration into reality.

After thinking about his plan and waiting patiently for Khalid to express his gratitude and emotion again, Kitahara found an opportunity and spoke directly.

"I have a plan. It's complicated to describe, but it will benefit both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yongwu. The only problem is..."

He paused and said in a deep voice:

"I need money, lots of money."

Khalid's delighted expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Kitahara-kun, my friend, this..."

The English words sounded better when used instead of the Japanese honorifics, but his tone was very strange. "I don't quite understand what you mean."

Kitahara thought about it.

"First of all, let's talk about Yongwu's condition. To be honest, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should understand that what Teacher Gu Jiu gave is just a preliminary treatment plan, and there is still a long way to go before recovery."

He said slowly: "However, I have an idea that may speed up the process."

"Of course, I said it's possible."

Khalid was silent for a moment. "Kitahara-kun, my friend, I already know that you were the first to discover Mari's disease."

"This makes me admire you very much. As a trainer, your talent and knowledge are countless times greater than mine."

After he finished speaking sincerely, his eyes gradually calmed down and he shook his head, "But learning about a rare case and understanding the treatment plan are two different things, I think."

"Gu Jiusan told me very clearly that he had studied all the reports and cases related to Marie's disease."

"I think medicine and training are very different."

"My friend, you are very straightforward. I like this kind of personality. I will also be more direct. I don't quite agree with the possibility you mentioned."

"Perhaps you could explain it in more detail?"

"I'm not really short of money. If you're having some trouble right now and really need it, I can write some checks in my personal capacity."

He actually reached into his bosom, pulled out a checkbook and a pen, and acted as if he would fill in whatever Kitahara asked.

This kind of questioning and generosity was within Kitahara's expectations.

What he said was vague, so it's understandable that the other party has doubts.

Bringing up the issue of Marie's disease did help Khalid and Yongwu. Considering how much the crown prince values ​​his horse racing girl, it probably wouldn't be a problem for him to write a check for several million dollars as a way of repaying a favor.

But several million dollars is not enough for Kitahara's plan.

And if he wants to go further and get "lots of money", he doesn't say enough.

"Your Highness is right. I am not good at medicine. I only know some training medicine."

Kitahara admitted frankly, "That's why I said that methods that can speed up recovery are only possibilities, and they require a lot of money to experiment with."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very capable in economics and business, and he probably knows about my business situation."

"My Eternal Club, Riverbend Enterprises, and the cooperative consortium cannot currently come up with any extra funds to support this possibility experiment of mine."

The Middle East always gives people the impression that there is a lot of oil and a lot of rich people, and the reason why there are so many rich people is because of oil.

However, Kitahara knew that many of the royal families there were not just local tycoons who knew how to exchange oil for money.

Many royal families are more like the boards of directors of listed companies than the ancient monarchies.

In other words, many royal families that have kept pace with the times, their structures and development models are already modern board structures.

Using strategic resources such as oil as a fulcrum, and perhaps precious metals such as gold and diamonds, we can leverage the development of industries such as electronic technology, finance, automobiles, and tourism to obtain benefits that are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Of course, there is also the Umamusume industry.

This is the key to why many royal families in the Middle East, including Khalid's, are so rich.

In comparison, Kitahara or the Japanese consortium do not have such an advantage in core resources.

If there is a problem with the capital chain in the Middle East, they can sell oil and other things, but Japan does not have that much hard currency. If there is a problem with the capital chain, it will be a real problem, and there is a possibility of bankruptcy.

This is why Kitahara needs additional funds.

The assets under his name are actually not small, but almost all of them are in the operation of the club and projects. If they are used at will, it will definitely cause problems for the overall development, or even collapse.

"A possible experiment...?"

Khalid pondered for a moment.

Being able to develop his own team of Uma Musume, the ability of this crown prince should not be underestimated. In fact, apart from the team, the industries under his name will only be more than Kitahara, not less.

Moreover, he personally participates in the operation of many industries.

"I thought I mentioned that I could support Kitahara-kun in a personal capacity," he said calmly, "but it seems that millions or tens of millions of dollars is not enough for Kitahara-kun."

"Maybe it's a bit cold, but my attitude is that if the amount is higher, I think Kitahara-kun will need to show more sincerity."

"Should this be considered a business negotiation?"

"Then from a businessman's perspective, I hope Kitahara-kun can come up with some projects worthy of investment from me and my group."

When saying this, Khalid felt a little bit of anticipation, but more of it was surprise and curiosity.

Whether from the perspective of a horse girl or a businessman, he could not ignore the trainer in front of him who was much younger than himself.

It was just a year, or maybe a little more than a year, to be precise, after meeting the magical horse girl Ogurume.

Before meeting this horse girl, the trainer named Kitahara Joi looked quite ordinary.

Perhaps mediocre is a bit of an exaggeration. To use the words in Japan, he can be called a "Heisei loser."

He learned the term "Heisei loser" from Yongwu.

After coming to Japan, this horse girl became very interested in Japanese comics and games, and read and played a lot of them.

When there were no school exchanges or medical examinations, he would often be dragged to hang out in that "Akihabara".

I also learned some strange words like tsundere, chuunibaku, modern, dark, and absolute domain.

The Heisei loser or otaku is one of them.

Although he is a trainer, he is in a daze every day. He rarely goes to the academy or the training ground. At most, he goes to the stadium to watch the game casually and stays at home to watch the central-level competitions.

Such a trainer seems to be a Heisei loser, or a otaku, which is exactly what Khalid evaluated when he investigated Kitahara in the past few years.

But after meeting Oguruma, everything changed.

The training level has improved by leaps and bounds. The horse girls he took over have won consecutive battles and have never had any injuries. Any injuries he had in the past have been cured one by one, both physically and mentally.

As a trainer himself, Khalid knows how difficult it is to get medical treatment for such injuries.

He has been in the European horse racing girl world for quite some time, and he has never seen a trainer who can keep a horse racing girl from getting injured.

He had never seen any of his horse racing girls, including Yongwu, of the same generation or the generations before and after Yongwu, who were not injured.

In contrast, Kitahara Jang's abilities seem even more amazing.

The same is true in business. Khalid has thought that without his status as crown prince and without the support of the royal family, he would not have achieved his current business success.

As for Kitahara Joi's background, apart from his uncle Rokuhei Ginjiro who is very famous in Japan, he has no other resources.

We can only conclude that the development of the industry to this day was almost entirely created by this young man himself.

This is even more rare and amazing.

As I thought before, all this started when I met Oguruma.

It was as if he had been accumulating something, and all he was waiting for was an opportunity, an opportunity.

And this opportunity is the encounter with Oguruma. After the meeting, all previous accumulations will be transformed into miracles.

It’s very similar to me and Yongwu…Khalid couldn’t help but think so.

With this kind of thinking and investigation, he knew about Kitahara's cooperation with Saijin Company and Satomi Group, which are considered to be giants in the world.

I also know that the other party has amazing talent in Uma Musume-related projects.

Therefore, the expectation and curiosity at this moment is to see whether the other party can come up with a plan of the same level, or even a higher level.

Being surprised is the mental preparation you make in advance for the other party to really take it out.

Kitahara had no idea what Khalid was thinking.

Even if I knew, I could only feel that compared with other time travelers, I was just ordinary.

If someone else were to travel to the world of Uma Musume, they would have won all eight major races, and might even have won consecutive championships such as the Arc de Triomphe and the Breeders' Cup.

No one is so slow as him.

As for business planning, he does have it.

"Planning?"

He nodded, and said calmly in front of Khalid's stunned eyes: "This is actually the original intention of my visit this time."

"I am also a businessman. If I want financial support, I still think planning cooperation is more practical."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been active in the world of horse racing girls in Europe, right?"

"Have you ever considered becoming a leader in the horse racing girl world in the Middle East?"

"Considering Uma Musume's unique influence around the world, if it comes to that, it might be helpful for Your Highness to inherit the throne?"

"Of course it's a bit presumptuous to say that, but maybe it would be nice to have some prestige events in the Middle East."

"so……"

"Is His Royal Highness interested in the Dubai Uma Musume World Cup format?"

After confirming the situation of Tamamo Cross with Katsumi Komiyama, Kitahara immediately came up with a series of plans.

It’s a bit complicated to explain, but the core is actually what I told Khalid directly: money is needed, a lot of money.

Of course, asking for money directly is impossible, and neither is exchanging favors.

Although Khalid was grateful for Yongwu's medical treatment, the problem was that only by keeping this favor could he gain better benefits, and directly exchanging it would mean clearing the favor.

After all, the other party has a special status. If this relationship is missing, it may be troublesome to cooperate with him in the future.

The most appropriate way is still fair business cooperation.

And the format is what Kitahara calls the "Dubai Uma Musume World Cup".

The inspiration comes from the "Dubai World Cup" in a parallel world, which is known as "the most expensive race in the world".

In just one day of competition, organizers will award tens of millions of dollars in prize money to the participating players.

The prize money level alone makes this event worthy of the title of “the most expensive tournament”.

Kitahara remembered that the prize money for the final match was 600 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 9 million yen.

Even though the purchasing power of the Japanese yen was very strong in this era, it should be equivalent to several hundred million yen today.

So far, the game with the largest prize money won by Eien Club is the Japanese Derby against Oguri, with the champion prize being 1 million yen, the same as in the parallel world.

In comparison, the prize money for the Dubai World Cup champion is several times that of the Japanese Derby.

Not only that, the Middle East, especially Dubai, is notoriously short of water, and the average cost of maintaining a tree is as high as US$5000.

This event has the world's top grass court, as well as supporting forests, grasslands and water sources to ensure the quality of the grass.

There is also a separate training ground, and the level of the venue is equivalent to that of the competition venue.

In addition to competitions and training, the competition conditions are also among the best in the world.

The organizer will unilaterally bear the food and accommodation expenses of all participants after arriving in Dubai, including racehorses, trainers, riders, doctors and accompanying farriers and stable attendants.

All participating teams can stay at the so-called "seven-star" Boci Hotel for a week, with free food and accommodation, and there is also a dedicated racing stable.

In addition to the competition, there is also a supporting fashion show, during which awards such as the best dressed lady and the best dressed couple will be presented to guests from all sides.

This is an entertainment-based competition, and the winner also receives a prize of up to around $10,000.

Just by learning about this kind of event, you can feel the atmosphere of inhumanity. It is just a crazy waste of money. It is hard to imagine whether the cost can be recovered.

In fact, the cost cannot be recovered.

There are no tickets for the events, parking is completely free of charge, and the broadcasting rights have also given up revenue, so there is almost no source of income.

In a parallel world, the organizers of this event are the royal families of the Middle East. They never considered using business techniques to gain any economic returns. It was an image project in itself and was used for publicity.

Considering this perspective, if Khalid also wants the royal family behind him to increase their visibility,

So, knowing the prototype event structure well, it is just right to provide a "Dubai Uma Musume World Cup" and there are no design problems at all.

In this way, as the initiators, Kitahara and Eternal Club will naturally be able to participate and obtain financial sponsorship naturally.

Of course, the specific form still needs to be considered.

"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks it's okay, I have a few general ideas for your reference."

After proposing the idea of ​​the "Dubai Cup", seeing Khalid was stunned for a moment and then fell into deep thought, Kitahara was refreshed and felt that there should be a chance. He said confidently: "It depends on which aspect Your Highness values ​​more."

"If you value idols and publicity more, maybe you can focus on this aspect in the competition structure."

“For example, in addition to basic event training and competition, a special Live construction called ‘Grand Live’ is added.”

"Then in the final results of the competition, in addition to the rankings, there will also be performance-related segments and rewards." "This can encourage talented horse racing girls to participate, and can also invite many horse racing girls with outstanding idol careers to perform."

"During this period, we can also ask these seniors to support us... ahem, I mean to help us with our training."

"Then this format could perhaps be called the 'Idol Cup'."

Seeing Khalid showing an interested expression again, Beiyuan smiled and continued:
"We can also unite with the direct families of the three goddesses. I think this will not be a problem for someone as socially connected as Your Highness."

"Dally, Godolphin, Bayer."

"Everyone in the world knows that these three major families have the closest relationship with the three goddesses. The revelations from the winning suits or other divine texts obtained by praying to the three goddesses also need to be interpreted by the horse girls of these three major families."

"But other than that, they are called horse racing girls, but they have very little to do with the event."

“Perhaps we can invite these families to participate in the competition.”

"According to this idea, maybe it could be called the 'Goddess Cup'."

He proposed another idea. Seeing that Khalid was completely lost in thought, Kitahara continued:
“The Umamusme Atheletic Festival is also an option.”

"You can call it 'UAF' or 'Sports Cup' for short."

“As the name suggests, such an event will focus on training and competition.”

"all in all……"

His words were suddenly interrupted.

"Very good! It's really great, Kitahara-kun!"

Khalid was already excited, "I actually forgot such an important thing!"

Just like when he first entered the door, he grabbed Kitahara's hands and shook them continuously.

"I've had the idea of ​​holding a Uma Musume-related event in the Middle East for a long time... No, it should be said that this has always been the dream of a trainer like me who comes from the Middle East."

"But the Middle East developed very late in this area, even later than Japan, and there has never been a suitable opportunity."

“Especially when the investment for one event is an astronomical figure, we are not short of money, but we can’t just throw it away casually. If there are not enough horse girls participating and the industry is not well developed in the region, we can’t organize it even if we want to spend money.”

"How could I forget something so important? We may not be able to judge the talent of horse racing girls, but you can, Kitahara-kun!"

He raised his hand again and kept patting Kitahara's shoulder.

"I don't have the same vision as you, and I haven't been to the scene to see it."

"But Yongwu has already told me, and I also watched the broadcast of the Thanksgiving Festival competition. There is no doubt that if it were you, Kitahara-kun, there would be no problem with the number of players in any competition!"

"No no! It should be said impossible!"

"I've investigated the Eternal Club, and there are already dozens of outstanding horse girls. Even though most of them haven't debuted yet, after the Thanksgiving competition, I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to question their future achievements!"

“Like this, like this!”

"Does Kitahara-kun have anything else to do right now? If not, we can discuss in detail the idea of ​​holding the event in the Middle East. We... oh, right."

He suddenly handed over the checkbook and pen that he had been holding tightly in his hand.

"Just take this!"

"Let's talk slowly. You can withdraw as much money as you need!"

Kitahara was a little confused.

He had guessed that Khalid would take the type of event he proposed very seriously, but he didn't expect him to take it so seriously.

He knew that he was not as ignorant of socializing as Ludo symbolized. On the contrary, he felt that he knew many things better than the Emperor.

For example, the competition structure of the Youth Cup and Peak Cup is completely different from what was suggested to Khalid.

As currently constructed, the Youth Cup is designed to discover new Umamusume talents.

Of course, from Kitahara's own perspective, it is to allow those talented names in memory to receive comprehensive training more smoothly, so as to show better results and drive the development of the entire industry.

The Peak Cup serves a similar purpose, but nominally, it is held for Umamusume seniors who were forced to retire due to insufficient research in their field.

The competition in the Middle East is completely different. That place has always been stereotyped in the international community as "stupid people with a lot of money". This is no joke. In fact, no matter which world it is, the Middle East is trying to change this impression.

Only when people around the world have a better understanding of the Middle East, such as realizing that the technology and culture there are very valuable, can further development be carried out.

Of course, maybe I am also influenced by stereotypes, but in terms of specific operations, the impression given is that the one with more money is more prominent.

As for the royal succession, Kitahara is also somewhat confident. The royal structure in the Middle East is very similar to a board of directors. Even if there is no monarchy, it would not be surprising that Khalid would want to be the helmsman.

Just like Kurokawa Masato and Satomi Haruki, even if they are direct descendants of their respective groups and families, they still have to make many achievements in order to prove their abilities to others in the power.

Otherwise, you will inevitably be sidelined as a mascot. Even if it doesn't reach that point, you will still face the risk of your subordinates secretly disobeying you.

Kitahara actually knew all of these and had experienced many of them, but most of his energy was usually focused on his racehorse ladies, so he didn't have many opportunities or the need to show them off.

At this moment, when interacting with a person like Khalid, he showed a different side from Uma Musume, but he did not expect the effect to be too outstanding.

Khalid simply handed him a checkbook and a pen, making it clear that he could fill in as much money as he wanted, as long as he helped him build an event for the Middle East.

Having achieved that, Kitahara still has no pressure. No matter what format is used in the end, the Middle East competitions are different from the Youth Cup and the Peak Cup. They will not particularly emphasize the intensity of the competitions, but will focus on fame, so there will be many more ways to operate.

But Khalid's inhumane attitude still left Kitahara stunned for a while.

"...Don't be impatient, Your Highness, since it was me who proposed the plan, I will of course cooperate with you in good faith."

Reaching out to push aside the checkbook and pen, Kitahara smiled at Khalid's surprised look.

"It's just that I'm used to paying cash on delivery when I do things, so that friends who cooperate with me will feel more at ease."

"So, you can wait until I write the draft plan here before we talk about the revenue."

I took the opportunity to ask for a laptop, paper and pen in the hotel's conference room, and spent the afternoon discussing some preliminary drafts with Khalid.

During the process, most of the time Kitahara worked on his own while Khalid waited patiently. The occasional interactions were usually Kitahara asking about the actual situation in the Middle East.

After all, the Dubai Cup in my memory has been developed for many years, and some details may be different, so it is still necessary to confirm it.

When I left after dinner, the checkbook and pen were still stuffed into my hand.

Beiyuan did not refuse this time. On the one hand, he did provide a finalized plan, and what needed to be done next was to further discuss the details. On the other hand, the goods had arrived, so there was no psychological pressure to collect the money.

On the other hand, I also think that I might be able to use it directly later.

After leaving the Grand Hyatt Hotel, I returned to Tresen College, but instead of going back to the office, I went to the cafeteria.

It was already after dinner and there were not many students in the cafeteria.

Looking around, he soon saw the familiar silver-gray-haired figure of Oguruma at a dining table in the corner.

It was not surprising that Kurimaro would appear in the cafeteria, but the two younger horse girls next to her were not the ones who usually stayed with her.

A girl with short brown hair, wearing clothes that seemed to have been stolen from an adult. The sleeves were very long, covering her hands completely, making people want to pull the sleeves together and tie them into a knot.

The other one has long black hair and looks very weak and delicate.

Like Oguruma, these two horse girls had their backs to Kitahara, but Kitahara knew who they were.

One is called Ailisuko and the other is called Manchester Tea House.

Both horse girls have great talent in racing walking, but Kitahara's focus this time is on the unique talent of a horse girl named Airi Hayako.

This horse girl is extremely skilled in making all kinds of magical potions, such as potions for maintaining the body, relieving fatigue, and improving physical fitness.

After taking these medicines, the main effects are quite significant.

The only problem is that these medicines almost invariably have side effects.

For example, the body will glow, or even make people smaller.

But even if it is a side effect, it is obvious that this horse girl's talent is strange but also quite powerful.

Kitahara had been following this horse girl for a long time, and indeed discovered that she had always scored full marks in chemistry, biology, and mathematics, and had an interest in making potions.

But given the side effects and the other strange hobbies of the other party, he has been hesitant about whether to contact and communicate with him.

Another hobby of his is to coax other horse girls and trainers into participating in experiments without any scruples, and he does not reflect on it even though he knows it will cause trouble.

In this case, it is true that the event in which the horse racing girls participate is called the "Shining Series", but when it comes to really "shining" from a physical level, it still feels a bit problematic.

It would be even more troublesome if it became smaller, because then the Eternal Club would become an "Eternal Kindergarten".

But after learning about the Alzheimer's symptoms of Tamamo Cross's previous trainers, he could only think of this horse girl.

In this world, besides the three goddesses, perhaps only Airi Hayabusa can cure or alleviate Alzheimer's disease, a terminal disease.

In addition, perhaps Airi Suko can also solve Yongwu's Mari disease.

It is for this reason that Kitahara arranged for Oguri to contact Airi Hayako and discussed plans for the Middle East event with Khalid.

Just by tinkering with it, you can make all kinds of strange and bizarre potions. If there is sufficient financial support, I'm afraid the world's mathematics, physics and chemistry technology trees will be turned upside down.

The check she received from Khalid was also intended to be used to talk to Airi Hayabusa to see if the horse girl had any ideas for Alzheimer's and Marie's diseases and how much money she needed.

As for the Manchester City Tea House, Kitahara also anticipated that she would most likely be with Airi Hayako, so he asked Oguruma to invite her as well.

Because of her unscrupulous behavior of using her classmates for experiments and her strange personality, Airihazuko doesn't have many friends among the horse girls of the same age, and many of them are terrified of her.

Similarly, Manchester City Tea House also has something that scares other horse girls of the same age: she seems to be able to see souls.

So probably because they are both special horse girls, Manchester City Tea House and Airi Hayako have a very good relationship. In school, they have a special situation where they share a classroom, half of which is used as a storage area for Manchester City Tea House's items, and the other half is Airi Hayako's laboratory, with Manchester City Tea House in charge of surveillance.

He wanted to contact them when he left the academy in the afternoon, but he left in a hurry. It was not until he was working at Khalid's place that he found time to call Oguruma and asked her to help go to Umamusume Elementary School.

However, the original plan was to return to the academy as early as possible to avoid being delayed too long and causing the families of the two horse racing girls to worry. Now that a lot of time has been spent on the event planning, Kitahara feels a little guilty.

I should go over and apologize first. Thinking of this, I walked towards the three horse girls in the corner and soon found to my surprise that the three of them were playing with their phones.

While playing, they communicated in low voices.

Or complaining.

"So, is there really anyone who would like to play this kind of game? Raising a horse girl on a mobile phone and then making her debut and competing... It's too unscientific."

This is Airi Hayabusa. She is holding a mobile phone with her hands covered by her long sleeves, staring at the screen with a complaining look on her face.

The Manchester City teahouse was also holding a mobile phone, looking at the screen, and in the other hand holding a cup of coffee, sipping it.

"It should be fine? I see a lot of classmates playing. Isn't Oguri-senpai playing too?"

Hearing his friend's complaints, Manchester City Tea House whispered, "Besides, Suzuko, you seemed to be having a lot of fun just now, and you even said it was fun."

"Illusion, that must be your illusion, Tea House."

Alisuko said without hesitation: "I will never admit that this game is fun."

"That's unscientific. I carefully calculated the probability of development, so why is the final result only B+? The lowest should be A, right?"

"Maybe that's why you insist on using Qianming to represent Senior?"

Manchester City Tea House thought for a moment, "I've discovered that if Chiaki is nurtured as a representative senior, then in the Japan Cup and Arima Kinen in the Classic Year, and the Sankei Osaka Cup in the Guma Year, there will definitely be Ludo as a symbolic senior in the competition."

"And he's Senior Luduo, who has very strong stats. It's hard to beat him."

Elissa was surprised, "...The game company designed it this way, aren't they worried that Qianming-senpai will kick him away?"

Manchester City Tea House shook his head, "It seems that Senior Qianming doesn't care much about this kind of thing. He said so in an interview."

Airihako was even more surprised. "...So, it's hard to win the Japan Cup in the classic year of Luduo and the Emperor's Autumn Viewing in the year of Guma because of this?"

"probably."

Manchester City Tea House nodded and said, "In short, if you want to develop an excellent Uma Musume in this mobile game "Uma Musume Pretty Derby", the support cards must be excellent, and the difficulty of developing the character itself must also be considered... Don't you know these things, Takuko?"

"If I hadn't seen you playing by chance, I wouldn't have wasted my precious time on this meaningless game."

Elise waved her hands and said, "This design is not scientific at all."

"But you were having a lot of fun before..."

After saying half a sentence, he was glared at by his friend. Manchester City Tea House shrank his neck and looked to the other side.

"Well, okay, I didn't say anything. Um... By the way, I wonder how Oguri-senpai is doing... Wow!"

She changed her words, surprised.

“What’s wrong…?”

Following her friend's gaze, Airi Hayabusa saw the phone screen in Oguruma's hand on the other side and exclaimed.

"Huh? Is this true? A+ rated Maruzenski-senpai? How did Oguri-senpai develop that?!"

Oguruma, who was sitting next to the two juniors, was also playing on her phone, also playing "Uma Musume Pretty Derby".

After Kitahara proposed the project, the Satomi Group has cooperated with some companies to produce this game.

Of course, the content is a little different from that in the parallel plane.

For example, the Umamusume generations currently being released are relatively early, starting with the generation of Kaburaya Oh, Erimo George, and Tesco Gabby, followed by the generation of Ten O'clock, Fujimasa Otome, and Midorikusa.

After that came the generation represented by Maruzenski and Katsurahisek, and then the generation represented by Chiaki and symbolized by Rudo.

As the student council president of Central Tresen Academy and the most accomplished horse girl in the history of Japan's URA, Ludo's popularity is quite high, and many players like to give priority to drawing and cultivating her.

This is true for both Ailisuko and Manchester City Tea House.

However, the person that Oguruma had just finished training was not the symbol of Ludo, but Maruzenski.

"Oh...what did you say?" Looking up from the phone screen, Xiao Limao asked in confusion.

"I'm talking about Maruzen-senpai, the person you trained, Oguri-senpai..."

Pointing at the screen, Manchester City Tea House's face was full of admiration, "I didn't expect that Senior Oguri is so powerful and plays games so well."

"Classic Triple Crowns, Spring Triple Crowns, Autumn Triple Crowns... I have never cultivated such a powerful character."

"How did Oguri-senpai do it?"

In fact, in this timeline, there are only the Classic Triple Crown, and the Autumn Triple Crown consisting of the Emperor's Autumn Viewing, Japan Cup, and Arima Memorial.

Of the three races that make up the Spring Triple Crown, the Emperor's Spring Tournament and the Takarazuka Kinen are both G1s like the first two groups of events, but the Osaka Cup's predecessor, the Sankei Osaka Cup, is only a G2 and has not been upgraded to a G1.

However, when designing the game, Kitahara, Satomi Osamu and others discussed it and believed that promotion to the Osaka Cup was a matter of sooner or later, so they made this match a G1 in the game in advance and formed a high-level achievement "Spring Triple Crown Achievement" into it.

The three groups of events cover almost all the most important G1s. The distances and venues represent the highest level in Japan now. It is indeed not easy to achieve them in the same game.

However, on Ogurimao's mobile phone screen, below Maruzenski with his arms raised high in the settlement interface, three sets of golden achievements were indeed collected.

"Oh, this one."

After understanding what his juniors were asking, Oguruma thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either."

"It's just where there's light."

“And then Maruzen won.”

"As for this event, Maruzen had the opportunity to run the classic triple crown and many classic rewards before, so I think she might be happier if she wins in the game."

"Then she was chosen to run."

“And then it was like this.”

“Is this powerful?”

Manchester City Tea House and Ailisuko looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Manchester City Tea House smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that Senior Oguri hasn't played for too long? I have trained him many times, but I have never received an A+ rating. The best is only an A."

“So this is really amazing.”

Oguruma suddenly realized, "Is that so... eh?"

After nodding, she noticed Beiyuan, "Beiyuan? When did you come here...? Oh, by the way, Lu Duo just came to see you, didn't you meet her?"

Kitahara originally wanted to say hello to Oguri, Manchester City Tea House, and Airi Hayako, but suddenly heard a question from behind and was stunned.

"Lu Duo is looking for me?"

"Yeah, it looks like a match setup or something."

After nodding, Oguruma pointed outside the cafeteria and said, "I met her during dinner. She said she was planning to look for you tomorrow, but she happened to see me with Tea House and Hayabusa, so she asked for a while."

"Knowing that you had left the academy, she didn't ask any more questions. After drinking tea with us for a while, she left."

“Is that so… Wait, wait a minute!”

The sudden startle startled the three horse girls in front of him, but Kitahara didn't care about anything. He stared at Airihako's face for a while with a look of doubt, then looked at Oguruma.

"I...let me ask first, is this black tea? Is it provided by the cafeteria, or did you make it yourself?"

Oguruma was stunned for a moment, and as Kitahara's gaze gradually became speechless, she pointed blankly at Airihakuko.

"Well... it was Suzuko who took the initiative to ask to make tea. Luduo seemed very happy and said that Suzuko was very well behaved."

"It seems that only Luduo drank it. I don't like bitter things, and the teahouse doesn't like black tea either."

"What's wrong?"

"This……"

Just when he had said half a sentence, Kitahara suddenly heard his cell phone ringing. He took out his phone and took a look. Seeing that it was Maruzenski calling, he couldn't help but feel something was wrong.

After the call was connected, Maruzenski's anxious voice soon came from the other end of the receiver.

"Hey, Kitahara, are you in the academy? Come to the infirmary quickly. I don't know what happened, but Luduo...suddenly turned into a child!"
