Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 295 Stealing McQueen's Dessert

After the Emperor of the East China Sea excitedly introduced his collection, he noticed something was wrong with little Luduo.

Ever since she saw the latter's game, she had an idol in her mind. She tried every means to get the videos, reports, collector's edition posters and dolls of every game of her idol and kept them well.

Some were kept at home, but more were brought to the college dormitory.

She believed that with the encouragement of her idol, she would be able to become a horse girl as good as him.

He took out the treasures in the dormitory one by one and introduced them. When he felt a little dry in the mouth, he asked with some anticipation.

"Hey, Luna, what do you think of these doll posters of mine? Many of them were obtained with great difficulty, and some are out of print~"

As soon as she asked the question, she found that little Luduo seemed to be a little worried, and she couldn't help feeling curious and a little worried.

"...Luna, ah no, President, what's wrong with you? You look a little unwell, do you want to go to the infirmary?"

"Ah... no, no, I... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I was distracted just now."

Coming back to his senses, Little Luduo quickly waved his hands and said apologetically: "Although I didn't listen carefully, these treasured ones of yours..."

The Emperor of the East China Sea took out so many treasures that she had not completely failed to notice them before. Now she glanced at them hastily and was a little surprised.

"It's really amazing. I remember this poster was from the farewell party before I left for America, right?"

Pointing at a poster placed on the emperor's desk, little Luduo was a little surprised.

It wasn't because she lost the game in the United States. If it were in the past, when faced with a rare defeat, she would rarely take the initiative to mention it in front of others.

Even with good friends like Maruzenski, they only discuss their own and their opponents' performances in the game and don't talk about winning or losing.

But perhaps because she was facing the Emperor of the East China Sea, she did not care so much about such things. It seemed that no matter how she performed, this junior would continue to admire her as always, which made her feel particularly at ease.

In addition, I am thinking about the future Peak Cup.

After the thanksgiving ceremony, the Peak Cup series of events has been in preparation. Seattle Slalom and Brave Dance are both very concerned about this series of competitions and have been bringing their respective teams to negotiate with Tresen College on the preparation matters.

Although it has become smaller now and is not specifically responsible for the preparations, Maruzenski and Chiaki have taken over this part of the work on their behalf. Little Luduo has great confidence in the abilities of these friends, and he is not too worried.

Therefore, the start of the competition is only a matter of time. Since there will be opportunities to compete with overseas powerhouses in the future, there is no need to worry about past wins and losses. Just focus on future competitions.

This is also why she accepted training after becoming smaller and was able to change her attitude towards past failures.

"Yes! It's the special poster for Luna's farewell party before she leaves for America!"

Seeing that little Luduo no longer seemed to be worried, the Emperor of the East China Sea resumed his smiling look and changed his address back.

"This poster is very hard to get. I remember that only 200 or 300 copies were sent out. Each one was signed by Luna-chan. Everyone who got it cherished it very much."

"I won the relay race and the Appreciation Cup recently, so I agreed with a fan I knew before to pay me in advance as my reward for winning the Classic Triple Crown!"

Little Luduo was a little surprised, and couldn't help laughing, "Advance payment... Well, this poster is a little difficult to get, but such an exaggerated way..."

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

She had a deep impression of the farewell party mentioned by the Emperor of the East China Sea. As an eyewitness, she also knew that the posters given away at the party not only had her signature, but the number was indeed very small.

Before that farewell party, my team and symbolists had always had disagreements on the overseas expedition, and the disagreements were quite big.

The conflict is not only known among professionals such as trainers, but also to some fans.

So after finally deciding to go to the United States to compete, the entire team, including herself, felt that it would be enough to have about one or two thousand people attending the farewell party.

As a result, on the day of the event, even though it was still raining, more than 10,000 fans spontaneously came to the scene, and the excitement was so intense that the staff were a little flustered.

Thinking of this, although his mood has changed because of future competitions, little Luduo couldn't help but feel complicated when he thought about how the expedition competition was so highly anticipated at that time, but ended in a miserable defeat.

Perhaps she felt a little relaxed in front of the Emperor of the East China Sea. She did not deliberately hide her feelings. Her ears and face drooped silently.

"...Eh? Luna-chan..."

The Emperor of the East Sea noticed the change in Little Luduo's mood more clearly than before. He was surprised and worried at the same time, "You..."

Just as she opened her mouth, she suddenly realized the victory or defeat of the competition behind the farewell party poster she showed, and suddenly understood the mood of admiring idols.

However, she did not become depressed, but instead smiled brightly.

“We will definitely win!”

She suddenly raised her arms and made a V-sign, looking inexplicably excited.

"......Huh?" Little Luduo was stunned.

"I mean, if it's Luna-chan... No, if it's the president, we will definitely win the upcoming Peak Cup!"

With a gleam in his eyes, more confident than in his own competition, the Emperor of the East Sea nodded vigorously and said, "I have heard from the uncle and Senior Oguri."

“After that, just like the Appreciation Cup, there will also be a Summit Cup where only powerful horse girls like the president can participate.”

"Although it's still in the planning stages and it seems like we'll have to work with foreign colleges, which sounds like a lot of trouble, but if the president and that uncle Kitahara work together, a tournament like the Peak Cup will definitely be established."

"In this case, no matter how the previous matches went, in future competitions in the Peak Cup, the president will definitely be like the title of emperor, invincible and undefeated and win the competition!"

Little Luduo was stunned again, "Emperor..."

But in a flash, she shook her head in self-mockery and chuckled, "I didn't expect that my appearance has become smaller, and my personality and state of mind seem to have become smaller as well. I actually need you, the emperor, to encourage me..."

Although the sigh was soft, she and the Emperor of the East Sea were the only ones in the dormitory, and the horse girls all had excellent hearing, so the Emperor of the East Sea heard it clearly.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter. After all, the person in front of me right now is not the president, but Luna-chan... oh yes, it's better to say that she is my sister, Dong Hai Luna!"

"Since my sister is worried and needs encouragement, as her elder sister, the Emperor of the East China Sea, I will definitely do my best to help her!"

The Emperor of the East China Sea patted his chest with a generous look, then smiled and said, "Well, actually, I discovered it before."

At this moment, little Lu Duo began to understand why the Emperor of the East China Sea had always been popular among his classmates, from the cafeteria to the dormitory, and perhaps to the classroom as well.

He is cheerful and lively for no reason, has outstanding judgment and talent, never doubts his own pure self-confidence, and treats everyone with genuine enthusiasm. It can be said that it is difficult to dislike this kind of personality.

At the same time, I was a little confused and didn't know what the discovery that the Emperor of the East China Sea was talking about was referring to.

The Emperor of the East Sea did not keep the secret and continued with a smile: "It seems to have started from the meal, or even earlier. In short, Luna-chan seems to be worried all the time."

"I don't know what it is, but I feel like if I chat with Luna-chan, eat something, and drink something, maybe it will be better."

"Ah, right!"

When she introduced her collection before, she had spread out the doll posters on the bed for easy display and sat on the bed with her knees bent. Now her ears were startled, she got out of bed and quickly put away her collection.

Then he ran to his locker and took out a few bottles of drinks.

Then he ran to the corner next to the locker and dug out some beautifully packaged boxes.

"Hey, Luna-chan, here, this is the honey drink that I often buy. I like to drink this drink when I'm in a good mood, and I also drink this drink when I'm in a bad mood."

Smiling, he handed the drink to Little Luduo, and the Emperor of the East Sea said with a smile: "This way, when you are in a good mood, you will get better, and when you are in a bad mood, you will get better."

Then he placed the box on the table, opened it, and revealed the chocolate sandwich biscuits, cookies, chestnut and red bean cakes and other desserts inside, with a mysterious expression on his face.

"These, hehehe, I helped McQueen hide them secretly."

Little Luduo had a smile on his face when he took the honey drink, but his expression froze when he heard the following words.

"This... this is not good, Emperor. Since it was hidden by McQueen... wait, since it was her dessert, why did you help her hide it secretly?"

Little Luduo became confused.

"Because she really wants desserts, but she's afraid of getting fat, so she asked me to hide them secretly so she wouldn't find out."

Pointing at the sweets on the table, the emperor smiled and said, "If you don't hide it, she will find it and eat it all in no time."

"How should I put it? Just like I believe Luna-chan will win the next game, I believe that if it were McQueen, she would not be able to resist the temptation of dessert."

"So she is now going to eat dessert somewhere else with Senior Aldan and the others. She won't be able to eat this part for a while."

"In order to avoid it from expiring, let's eat it first. I will replenish it for her later."

As she spoke, she wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead as if she was very tired, "Ah, it's really tiring to have such a worrying roommate."

Seeing her funny look, little Rudo couldn't help but chuckle, and then said with emotion: "You and McQueen have a really good relationship."

"I usually see you guys bickering all the time, but now that I think about it, it should be a sign of a good relationship."

"Probably... probably..."

The Emperor of the East China Sea suddenly hesitated, said two words ambiguously, and then felt a little regretful.

“But I don’t know if I’ll still be in the same dormitory with McQueen after my official debut.”

"I remember that after we were promoted to a new department, we had to reassign dormitories based on our debut dates."

The system of Central Tresen College is the same as what the Emperor of the East China Sea said. The dormitory arrangements will be adjusted before and after debut, and the same applies to promotion.

Because the study and training arrangements of horse girls before and after their debut are different, the latter's training tasks are more arduous, and it is common to get up early and return late. In order to avoid affecting roommates, horse girls with the same competition schedule will be arranged to live in the same dormitory.

The same applies to dormitory adjustments for the primary, secondary and higher education departments.

Even the Student Union couldn't intervene in this matter. This was also for the sake of the students' smooth study and life. Little Luduo could only show a comforting look.

However, the Emperor of the East China Sea did not seem to need comfort. She quickly returned to her smiling face, unscrewed the lid of her honey drink, gulped down a few big gulps, then picked up the chocolate biscuits and handed them to little Luduo.

"Well, so, even if Luna-chan doesn't want to say anything, eat something delicious and drink something nice, and I think a lot of your worries will disappear."

Gone?

If only it were that easy...

However, what the emperor said also reminded me that today, and in the past few days, I have been worried about the matter of Tamamo Cross, but it seems that the way I worry is not right...

If it were the Emperor...

Silently taking a sip of the honey drink and looking at the East China Sea Emperor with bulging cheeks who ate like a little hamster, little Luduo suddenly spoke to himself.

"Actually, if I really have to worry about it, it's probably because of my duty as the guild president."

He paused in chewing, then quickly sped up his chewing and swallowed the dessert in his mouth in one breath. The Emperor of the East China Sea became a little quiet and stared at little Luduo quietly.

"Your Majesty, you should know that since the generation of Chiaki, Katsuragi, and me, the horse racing girl world has been dull for a long time."

Little Luduo's tone was filled with sighs. "Even if there is an outstanding horse girl like Gaofeng, it is difficult for a talented player to change an entire generation."

"Comparatively, if we didn't have each other as opponents, many competitions would have become boring."

"Uma Musume competitions seem to be so contradictory, at least for us, it's such a contradiction. If there are strong opponents, we will worry about the outcome, but if there are no strong opponents, we will feel bored."

"I think Maruzen may have some experience with this. I'm not saying that there aren't powerful seniors in her generation. The Ten Point seniors are very powerful. Maruzen herself said that she doesn't have 100% confidence in a head-on confrontation."

"In order to make the horse racing girl world lively again, many parties have made a lot of efforts. Of course, I have also done something."

After a pause, little Luduo looked towards the outside of the dormitory.

"Perhaps it was the result of hard work, or perhaps it was the right time. Anyway, first the Tamamo Cross appeared, followed by the appearance of Oguruma. Later, under the leadership of Kitahara, the horse girls of the entire Eternal Team showed their stunning grace one by one."

"As the student council president, I shouldn't think this way, but..."

She couldn't help but slightly tighten her fingers around the drink bottle. "But I still can't help but think, maybe they could have performed a little better? Maybe they could have maintained their best form and shown a more dazzling figure and performance?"

"Because only in this way can the era driven by them, which has been somewhat stagnant, continue to operate and operate more brilliantly."

"so……"

She suddenly paused, because she didn't want to say too much to the not-so-old Emperor of the East China Sea, as that seemed to put too much pressure on this junior. But it seemed that only when facing this junior did she feel she could say so much without restraint.

However, before she could continue, the Emperor of the East China Sea suddenly changed from his previous relaxed and lively appearance to a rare serious expression.

"In that case, Luna-chan... no, President, you should probably talk to your seniors about this, or listen to what they say and think."

“Hmm…?” Little Luduo was a little confused for a moment.

"Hehe, although I don't quite understand what you just said, President, I think it should be related to Senior Oguri and Senior Xiaoyu, right?"

The Emperor of the East Sea laughed again. "In this case, isn't the best way to go and ask them directly and hear what they say?"

Her eyes suddenly lit up, "Oh, by the way, since we have already stolen McQueen's dessert..."

"Why don't we go to the seniors' dormitory now and eavesdrop on what they are talking about?"

"In this way, perhaps the president won't be so worried."
