Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 310 I will also be your horse racing girl
The horse racing girl who surprised Kitahara greatly was named Zhuo Fu, a top-level horse racing girl.

Of course, she is still young, just like the Golden Master and the Golden Ship, who are kindergarten kids.

Coincidentally, on another timeline, the Golden Master who won the classic triple crown and the Golden Ship who won the classic double crown went on an overseas expedition to the Arc de Triomphe, and the champion was none other than Zhuo Fu.

So this kid came here to scout the place in advance...?
Staring at the name on the phone, Kitahara found it interesting.

"Zhuo Fu? Yes, the information from Luduo also mentioned this child's name."

Maruzenski tilted his head, "Is she very powerful?"

"She should be very powerful," Beiyuan said ambiguously, "otherwise, Bai Ling wouldn't have specially brought her here.

"Of course, the premise of this is that the idea of ​​bringing her here is to visit Japan and study or something.

"Maybe they just come here to have fun."

"If you come to play, I understand what Luduo means."

Maruzenski was thoughtful, then smiled and said, "Then let her take care of it. It just so happens that she is quite qualified to be a leader among children now."

Thinking of the symbol of Luduo who is still in the state of a child at this moment, and imagining that behind her are the little golden master, the little golden boat, the little Yilutong, the little noble lady, and the little Zhuofu, Beiyuan couldn't help but smile.

With the additional task of picking up passengers at the airport, we spent a little longer time at the airport.

By the time the last group of guests were arranged, I looked at the time and it was already nearly 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

There were also staff from the college who came to pick us up at the airport. After we said goodbye to each other one by one, it was already past midnight.

"It's so late, then we..."

"Come on, I'll drive you back to the academy."

After leaving the airport, Kitahara found that Maruzenski was the only one around, and subconsciously wanted to go back early together.

She spoke at the same time as Maruzen, and Kitahara was suddenly horrified when he heard her words.

"No, no, no, don't bother. Really, there's no need to bother..."

"Hey, it's just a ride, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Interrupting Kitahara's words, Maruzenski looked at him with amusement, and put his hands on his hips as if he was angry, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my car?"

"Is there any problem..."

Beiyuan sighed and held his forehead, a headache began to arise. "What I mean is, I'd better take a taxi back, or catch the subway..."

He absolutely would not dare to ride in a car driven by Maruzenski.

Since entering Central Tresen College, he had often heard other horse racing girls say that this old driver loved racing too much.

It's okay to just race, but his driving skills are so exaggerated that most people can't handle it.

Basically, all the horse racing girls who have ridden in her car said that they would never consider riding in it a second time.

For example, Junchuan Tezuna was once invited by Maruzenski to a bar for a drink, and was dragged until the last subway train left, so he had to accompany him for a ride.

The next day, the hardworking assistant to the president of the college took a rare leave of absence.

The reason is motion sickness.

In terms of physique, Kitahara feels far behind the average level of horse girls, let alone top horse girls like Surukawa Tetsuna.

That's why Tetsuna Shunkawa would feel dizzy when riding in Maruzenski's car. If I really ride in one, I would probably feel dizzy for several days, which would delay my training.

"Take a taxi? Do you have too much money to spend?"

Before Kitahara could finish, Maruzenski said unhappily, "It costs at least 30,000 yen from Narita Airport to the city. With your frugal nature, are you willing to spend that much money?

"Speaking of subways, all subways in Japan operate from 5 a.m. to 12 a.m.

"As we speak, the last subway is about to arrive at the terminal.

"So, are you planning on spending tens of thousands of yen to get back to the academy, or are you planning on waiting until the subway starts running?"

Ah this...

Kitahara really couldn't bear to spend so much money on a taxi.

The business he ran in the past did not have much capital at the beginning, and every aspect had to be taken care of. It was probably from that time that he became reluctant to spend money.

Moreover, he does not have too high aspirations in his own life, as long as many things are usable, he is happy.

So, instead of spending tens of thousands of yen on a taxi, he would rather use the money to buy new training equipment for the horse racing girls.

As for waiting for hours at an airport or subway station, I would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

"...Then, can you let me..." After hesitating for a moment, he spoke tentatively. He wanted to drive himself.

"No way, I will never let anyone else open 'Tartar', not even you, Kitahara."

Maruzenski interrupted again, but she could hear Kitahara's intention to agree, and she smiled, "Don't worry, I know you will be very busy next.

“You’ve been quite busy, actually.

"So, in order not to disturb your work, I will drive a little slower."

She pinched a tiny gap between her index finger and thumb, "And didn't you say that those horse girls just now might really want to have a peak cup?

“Then I will definitely compete.

“As for the training, I’ll definitely have to leave it to you.

"In that case, how can I possibly influence you?"

To be honest, Kitahara didn't really believe Maruzenski when he said he would drive slower.

If this were true, there wouldn't be so many horse racing girls refusing to ride in her car.

But the following explanation still seems to make sense.

"Then...I'm sorry to trouble you."

It was a bit difficult to say this, and seeing Maruzenski's eyes light up instantly, Kitahara quickly added, "But if I find that I really can't stand it, I will get off."

"That's not up to you..."

"What did you say?"

"Oh, nothing, I mean, let's go." Maruzenski muttered quietly, said with a smile, and walked towards the parking lot.

Without as good hearing as the horse girl, Kitahara didn't hear clearly what the horse girl said.

But not long after getting in Maruzenski's sports car, he regretted it.

The Countach sports car is one of the most famous models in the Lamborghini series, and it often appears in classic works such as "Transformers" and "Forza Horizon".

A total of just over 1974 examples of this model were produced from 1990 to 2000.

Such a sports car has more value as a collection, but that doesn't mean it can only be displayed for viewing.

The top speed is 363 kilometers per hour and the acceleration from 0 to 100 is 3.2 seconds. Such data is indeed outstanding among sports cars.

Maruzenski's favorite car is the Lamborghini Countach LP400S, nicknamed "Ta-chan".

There is of course a speed limit when heading into the city.

But when a sports car like this starts, accelerates, drifts and overtakes, the strong push on the back and the centrifugal force pulling it made Kitahara understand in an instant why the horse racing girls who have ridden in Maruzenski's car will never ride in it a second time.

The illusion of bones being broken while overtaking and drifting through a corner is so hard to experience again.

At this speed and driving skills, even if he wanted to shout to get off the car, he was worried about accidentally biting his tongue. All Beiyuan could do was keep a grim face, hold the handrail tightly, close his mouth tightly, and dare not even breathe.

But this is not the place to regret.

Instead, he stared blankly at the road conditions in front of the windshield and realized that this was not a car heading to the school.

Realizing this, Kitahara didn't even bother biting his tongue and looked towards the driver's seat in horror.

"No, Maruzen..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "Where on earth are you going...?!"

"Well, don't make such a scary face. It makes me look like I did something to you."

Looking ahead and glancing at Kitahara through the rearview mirror, Maruzenski freed one hand, lifted the hair at the side of his neck, and said excitedly, "Of course we're going for a ride.

"You don't know, it's getting harder and harder to find someone to go for a ride with me.

“I don’t know who spread the rumor that something terrible would happen if I drove the car, so everyone avoided me when they heard me say I was driving.

"I was originally planning to wait until the next school year starts, and then... I mean, invite some juniors to go for a ride together." "But Kitahara, you just happen to be interested.

"Then I'll reluctantly take you for a drive."

You said it was a scam, right?
You must have said it, right?

Don't think I didn't hear it!

Also, what do I mean by I'm interested?

It's obviously you who are interested, right?
How come you're the one taking me for a drive reluctantly?

I really want to get off the bus!

There seemed to be too many flaws in Maruzenski's words, and Kitahara didn't know where to start.

But before he could say anything, Maruzenski inexplicably slowed down the car.

"Last year, I drove this way to Kasamatsu and met you."

As the car slowed down, Kitahara felt dizzy, perhaps due to the accumulated shock or dizziness.

However, the direction of the road and the road sign that had briefly flashed by earlier did indicate that this was the only way from Tokyo to Kasamatsu.

Rubbing his forehead and adjusting to the speed of the car, Kitahara asked in confusion and amusement: "...So... ahem, you want to go for a drive in Kasamatsu?"

Smiling and looking ahead, Maruzenski was silent for a moment.

"I was just wondering," she answered the question irrelevantly, "what kind of mood you were in when you came all the way from Kasamatsu to Tokyo.

"as well as……

"What kind of trainer are you, Kitahara?"

"What kind of mood...what kind of trainer...?"

Kitahara was even more confused, he had no idea what Maruzenski wanted to say.

"I think I've told you the reason why I like speed racing, but I also think I haven't told you."

As if it was just a simple chat, Maruzenski's topics were intermittent.

"But it doesn't matter what happened before, I just want to tell you now that the reason why I like racing is very simple.

"This is probably one of the few times outside the stadium that I can feel the speed of the wind."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara fell silent, just like Maruzenski just now.

"Didn't you say that you no longer dwell on the past?" He asked in confusion, "Especially with the upcoming Summit Cup."

“So, that was the previous thought.”

Maruzenski smiled and said, "In the future, I will probably do this kind of racing less and less.

"Because, as you said, later, there will be events like the Summit Cup that I can participate in."

"Well, as for the Peak Cup," she lifted her hair again and smiled, "I haven't said thank you to you properly yet.

“I told you this before, when I first heard you mention that kind of event, I didn’t have high expectations.

“Perhaps at that time, it would have been difficult for anyone to believe that you could make it this far.

“But you’ve made it this far and I’ve got a chance to play again.

"So, thank you so much."

"Thank you..."

Unexpectedly, Maruzenski suddenly took him for a drive because he wanted to say this. Kitahara was surprised but also found it interesting. "Actually, in my opinion, I should thank you."

"Thank us?"

Maruzenski was startled, his eyes shifted from the front to the rearview mirror, "Why?"

"Or rather, because of your existence."

Kitahara smiled, "Just seeing your presence, I think it would be hard not to do something for you.

"At least, that's what I thought and did.

"So, you want to thank me, but actually, I want to thank you.

“Just seeing you exist and running on the stage of your dreams makes me feel satisfied and I want to do something.

"Probably so."

Unconsciously, he looked towards Maruzenski, just in time to see her looking at him through the rearview mirror.

"Really..."

"Really...?" Seeing Maruzenski looking away and his lips moving as if to say these words, Kitahara repeated them subconsciously.

"What a simple trainer you are, I mean you."

As if to see the road conditions clearly, Maruzenski looked ahead and held the steering wheel with both hands.

"Besides such a simple thought, is there nothing else?"

"Other? What else? Any other ideas?"

Although it was just a casual chat, as a trainer, team leader, and club chairman, Kitahara habitually thought about what Maruzenski meant, but he felt that it seemed like just a casual chat, so he asked a few questions in return.

"Well... like coaching your horse girl to win a certain competition."

Maruzenski seemed to smile and said, "Look, the chrysanthemum viewing festival is coming soon.

“Oguruma also won the first two titles and maintained the winning streak throughout.

“Haven’t you ever thought about becoming the trainer of the undefeated triple crown horse girl?

"Or did you not make such an agreement with her when you first became Oguruma's trainer?"

"So that's what you meant."

Kitahara couldn't help but smile when Maruzenski mentioned Oguri Hat, "If you want to talk about an agreement, there is indeed one.

"I mean me and Little Chestnut."

"uh-huh?"

"She feels that being able to stand up and run is a kind of happiness, so she wants to keep running."

Kitahara smiled and said, “Her mother hopes that she will become an amazing horse girl, and she expects the same.

“Then, as her trainer, I must help my horse girl realize her dream no matter what.

"That's pretty much what I agreed with her at the time."

“…That’s all?”

“…Ah, that’s all.”

Feeling that Maruzenski seemed a little surprised just now, Kitahara couldn't help but want to look over, and suddenly felt dizzy.

The steering wheel was turned sharply and the handbrake was pulled up.

After the rear end of the car swung sideways, he instantly stepped on the accelerator and drove in the opposite direction to the limit.

With a drift, the scarlet sports car drew a perfect arc on the dark road at night.

"No, Maruzen, you..."

"Well, don't be so surprised. It's really interesting to talk about it. Kitahara, you like Uma Musume so much, so you must also like things like speed, right?"

With his eyes curved into a crescent-shaped arc in the night sky, Maruzenski chuckled and said, "How come you can't even stand speeding and drifting?

“That’s fine then.

"If we participate in the competition later, I will also be your horse girl, right?

"Then I can make a deal with you.

“Stay with me through this race.

"After that, as you expect, I will step onto the stage of my dreams and run for you."
