Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 317 Chrysanthemum Appreciation (3): What if I have a guilty conscience?

There was not a single horse girl present who had little talent or experience, and they immediately understood the meaning of Ludo's symbol.

And the words symbolized by Rudo have not yet been finished.

“So, I agree with Mr. Green Grass’s point of view.

"For juniors like Oguruma, the Kikukasou race schedule, running style, tactics, six complex bends, and the start of the race is to pass the Yodo-no-Zaka with a height difference of 4.5 meters twice.

"If you don't have these basic skills, then don't even think about participating in the competition. You'll just be a runner-up.

“But the state of mind is another matter.

"From my debut till now, no matter what the outcome, no one is willing to give up the glory of the final three crowns.

"It is precisely because of this that we should not focus on anything other than the championship.

"Whether it's the opponents, the noisy crowd, or everything else."

Having said this, she paused and looked at Maruzenski.

"You probably want to support Oguruma, right?"

Maruzenski, who was originally thinking about Luduo's words, was stunned.

I couldn't help but look at Mejiro Takamine and saw that she was also surprised and shook her head slightly. Maruzenski was even more surprised.

"How could you have thought of that, Ludo?"

When talking with Lucao just now, Maruzenski took the initiative to tell the other party his purpose.

Before this, she had only invited a group of friends with the excuse of "How about we go and enjoy the chrysanthemums before the hustle and bustle tomorrow?", without expressing her true thoughts.

She originally thought it was Mejiro Takamine who revealed it, but now it seems that it was obviously not the case.

"It's very simple," Luduo said symbolically, "If I were you, I should be able to see my own shadow in Xiao Limao."

"...Shadow?" Maruzenski repeated it, and he had a slight understanding in his mind.

"If it weren't for Kitahara's outstanding vision, talent, and vision, perhaps Oguri might not be able to participate in the Classic Triple Crown."

Lu Duo said something similar to Lu Cao, "You know, I've thought about this more than once."

"What's the matter, Rudo?" This time it was not Maruzenski who asked, but Katsuragi Ace who looked curious.

Not only her, but also Representative Chiaki and Mejiro Takamine were looking towards the Rudo symbol.

"Things like vision usually don't cause any problems."

After a moment of silence, Lu Duo said softly, "For a beauty like Xiao Limao, as long as one's eyes are fine, one will be able to see her talent.

“That’s another story, because I talked to Liu Ping’s trainer, and he said that his nephew is on par with him in many aspects, and even surpasses him in many aspects.

“The problem is, vision.

“You all know how difficult it is for local trainers to pass the central examination.

"I don't know how Kitahara is so sure that he can pass the exam in one try.

"But looking at his numbers, he's the only one who has done that.

"Taro Yusuhara and Kitahara look similar, but they are also different. He has studied in the UK, and his exams are completely different from Kitahara's. It can be said that they are much easier.

“What I’m thinking is, if Kitahara had backed off even a little bit and didn’t plan to come to the central government.

“Oshiro will definitely miss the Classic Triple Crown.

“Even if our student union conducts a patrol inspection, sooner or later we will have to go to Kasamatsu Academy and discover Oguruma.

“But when I was sorting out my work log, I accidentally discovered that by the time we found her, we had already missed the registration period for the Classic Triple Crown.”

"Ah? Like that?" Katsuragi Ace suddenly interrupted, she was puzzled, "But it doesn't matter if I miss it.

"Didn't several horse racing girls miss the registration time for the Chrysanthemum Festival this time and register later?"

...Katsuragi, it seems that you are not only insensitive to the acceleration point...

Almost at the same time, the other horse girls sighed in unison.
"Katsuragi, before Oguruma came to the central government, there was no current system of supplementary reporting."

Hearing each other's voices, except for Ace Katsuragi who was stunned, the rest of the Umamusume looked at each other for a moment.

"Well, it seems that everyone understands what I mean." Lu Duo said with emotion: "What I mean is that it just so happened that if Kitahara retreated a little bit, Oguri would have missed the classic triple crown forever.

“And if Oguri Hat came to the central government later, the association, the board of directors, and all walks of life would not have paid as much attention to Kitahara as they do now.

"A lot of the things he's doing now, a lot of the things that mean a lot to us, might not be impossible.

“But it will definitely be postponed for a long time. At least for now, our Shining Series still only has this one event.

“There will be no Youth Cup, and there will be no Peak Cup which is being planned.

“Many talented horse girls, including those of us who were originally unable to compete, can only envy those seniors or juniors who are able to step onto the shining stage.”

Suddenly she took a deep breath and laughed, “That’s too far.

"In short, fortunately it wasn't like that, fortunately from the beginning, Kitahara believed in himself and persisted.

“That’s why everything is happening now.

“And I said Maruzen that you can see yourself in Oguruma.

“We, aren’t we?

“Our regret is never losing a game.

"But when you want to run the most, you leave helplessly... No.

"Maybe it's not about leaving in disgrace, but about not even having a chance to play, even if it means not having a championship, a ranking or honor."

At this moment, he still looks like a primary school student. Maybe he has grown taller after such a period of time. Even though he is a head shorter than his friends, the momentum represented by Luduo at this moment is still as high-spirited and magnificent as usual.

"As expected of you, Luduo."

Maruzen was silent for a moment, then smiled and nodded, “Midnight Green Grass Senior also said so, but I didn’t understand it that well.

"You've put it more clearly.

"Now I understand why I want to support Xiaolimao and help her, and these are the reasons."

"Well, the undefeated triple crown, I am also looking forward to it."

Luduo understood Maruzenski's meaning with a symbolic feeling, "It's just that the hypothesis I just mentioned, as well as the shadow, are indeed too subtle.

“Moreover, those in power are confused, while those who are watching can see more clearly.

"Anyway, I understand and support your desire to support Oguruma.

"I think Qianming and the others should think so too."

He turned around and saw that his friends all nodded. He turned back to look at Maruzenski again and smiled slightly, "So, from the perspective of the student council president, it is not fair to give advice to the juniors alone.

“But, even if it’s just my selfish motive.

“I still hope that the opportunity, or miracle, that has led to everything Umamusume has now can be crowned tomorrow.

"and……"

She suddenly smiled slyly, “I just told Xiao Limao to concentrate on winning, nothing else matters, it doesn’t seem unfair.

“So, tomorrow, the Ogurashi Hat will be handed over to you, Maruzen.

"It's just a reminder. It can be said that I have a clear conscience."

"…What if I have a guilty conscience…"

"Huh? What?"

Maruzenski's unconscious murmur was too soft, and even though the horse girls such as Ludo Symbol had excellent hearing, only Mejiro Takamine could guess what he meant.

“Nothing,” Maruzenski quickly came to his senses, smiled and shook his head, “In this case, I know what’s going on.

"Then I'll go back first, or do you want to go back together?"

"Let's go back together...wait."

Just after he finished speaking, Luduo's expression suddenly changed. "I didn't plan to arrange anything for you, but if you are going to see Xiaolimao tomorrow, Beiyuan just happened to have some things to deal with, so you can help him deal with them."
