Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 319 Chrysanthemum Appreciation (5): Loser
The next two questions were ones that Maruzenski himself had not expected to ask.

But perhaps it was because of that assumption that she was hesitant to say, or perhaps it was the possibility that that assumption might turn out to be a rejection, she couldn't help but speak out her thoughts without thinking.

Soon, she tried to cover up and changed the topic, "Ah... I mean, didn't you tell Xiao Limao last night that you hoped she would win the game for you?
“She said she wanted to win for you.

"Why did you say you hoped she would win for her?"

This change of tone was also because I had never expected that this question would be asked.

So...what's the difference between this way of asking and the previous one...

If he wasn't driving at the moment and stopping was too abrupt, Maruzenski really wanted to put his face on the steering wheel like he did before.

Or just use a little force, smash the steering wheel with your head, and then bury your face in it.

Just like the anxiety on the field, her mind was twisted and tangled. At the same time, she pricked up her ears to listen to any movement coming from the passenger seat.

"……what?"

First there was a strange short questioning sound.

Then she asked in surprise, "Don't you know about this, Horse Racing Girl?"

"Huh? What do you mean a horse girl like me...?"

Maruzenski was also confused and couldn't help looking to the side through the rearview mirror.

Kitahara didn’t hide the confusion on his face, “It’s just… the more she thinks like that, the less likely she is to win.

“Isn’t this obvious?
"Even if we don't talk about the field, any competition requires full concentration to win.

“I can’t run as fast as you, but I did join some sports clubs when I was in school.

“It’s pretty much that feeling. The more you think about it, the easier it is to accidentally distort the movements you’re familiar with.

“Then there’s no winning or losing.

"As for who to win the game for, I don't deny that this kind of thinking will make you passionate and motivated at the beginning.

"But this emotion will also affect the judgment of the game.

“So, in the final analysis, you still have to play the game with your heart and soul.

"Don't think about anything else except winning.

"As for the domain, in fact, this kind of single-minded focus is exactly the state of the domain."

Having said that, Kitahara couldn't help but want to extend it a little.

Because after talking with Oguruma last night, he suddenly realized that perhaps his previous views on the field were correct, and the training was also correct, but the simpler thing was what he just said, to focus on the task.

Perhaps, legendary horse racing girls like Maruzenski can maintain their normal state in the field because they can control their thoughts and emotions better and more maturely, so they can concentrate for a long time.

That is to say, being in the field state for a long time.

If he had not been busy with matters related to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation today, he would have wanted to take the time to organize the paper and verify it immediately. He also wanted to tell Maruzenski about this now.

"……only……"

"……what?"

Maruzenski spoke too quietly and Kitahara didn't hear it clearly at all.

"I mean……"

Suddenly, he sighed very clearly, or he breathed a sigh of relief, and Maruzenski seemed to smile, "What you said to Oguruma yesterday...

"I mean, after you went out, you just said this...?"

She suddenly felt that she understood.

She had always felt that the person she was attracted to, even though she knew the trainer's code of ethics, still had a special feeling for being the number one horse girl.

As it turns out, this feeling...or emotion really exists.

But it's not what I thought at all.

It was completely, as he said himself, a sincere wish for the Uma Girl, who was very important to him, to realize his dream and win the race of his dreams.

She knew a lot of the thoughts of a horse girl of Oguruma's age. There might be some differences, but many of them were the same.

She is also at that age, and it is easy for her to feel admiration and trust towards a strong and outstanding person of the opposite sex.

If you are older, you will have a sense of security that comes from maturity.

Admiration, trust, and peace of mind will breed dependence, then attachment, and ultimately, the ignorant throbbing that you are not sure whether you like the person or cannot leave him/her.

The older one may or may not be able to find out, but in any case, if he or she senses a little bit of that innocent and pure feeling, it would be difficult to restrain the urge to respond, or the original urge. She originally thought that this was probably the case with Kitahara and Oguruma.

But now it seems that it is not the case at all.

She suddenly had a strange and funny idea.

A trainer who simply wants to fulfill the dream of his favorite horse girl and makes this his dream.

A horse girl who simply wants to run, gradually hopes to run for more things, to win, and makes this her dream.

I feel like there's some kind of relationship between a man and a woman between them.

I was probably influenced too much by Mejiro Takamine and watched too many idol romance dramas, so I overthink it...

Just as he was thinking this, Maruzenski's heart twitched when he heard something that sounded like a question or an answer from the side.

"Huh? How can it only look like that?"

In an instant, all the romance dramas that I had watched with Mejiro Takamine flashed through my mind. The plots and characters that I had previously been unable to understand and thought were too old-fashioned to relate to, suddenly, I could relate to them.

No matter which plot or character it is, it is now transformed into a word of only two syllables.

Loser.

"Ha...ah...this...that..."

She suddenly didn't know what to say. Her driving skills, which allowed her to drift at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour, seemed to collapse in an instant.

"Of course I have to take Little Chestnut Hat with me when I eat."

After asking back the question in his mind, Kitahara wondered, "You know about Oguruma, right?

"At that time, he went to self-training before coming to me. After that, it must be a midnight snack.

"Also, I can chat with her more while having a midnight snack, so she can stop thinking too much and focus on the game.

"That's what she buys into."

"otherwise……"

Zhi——ning——!
The huge tearing sound caused by the friction between the tires and the ground was deafening, and the world's top engine roared under the heavy load.

The air was filled with the scorched smell of something suddenly burning.

Kitahara felt like he was almost thrown out by the centrifugal force.

The next second, the scarlet sports car rolled sideways on the sidewalk and stopped, and he was really thrown out.

The engine roared again, and the scarlet sports car turned into a beam of red light and sped away.

after a while.

"It's here... I'm sorry, sir, you just violated the traffic law... Eh? Mr. Kitahara, shouldn't you be at the Kyoto stadium?"

Standing there in a daze, Kitahara followed the voice and saw an agent from the Traffic Department. He said in a daze, "Ah, no, the chrysanthemum viewing is in the afternoon, I'm not in a hurry now... Are you...?"

"Um..." The operator smiled awkwardly and raised his hand, "We are the ones who issued you the ticket. Please help pass it on to the owner of the sports car just now. We...um...

"I didn't catch up."

the other side.

"Why do you seem a little angry, Maruzen...?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Limao said in a daze.

With his eyes curved into crescents and his hands holding the reel, Maruzenski smiled.

"No, I'm in a good mood."

"Is that so?" Xiao Limao nodded, then wondered, "Then, what are we going to do? I'm going to take a car with Xiao Haiwan and the others to the Kyoto stadium."

"what……"

After a long laugh, Maruzenski's smile deepened, but his crescent-shaped eyes showed caution, "Later, if you feel uncomfortable, stop immediately.

"Then……

“I’ll only do it once, watch it.

"Watch out... for the real speed."
