Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 323 Chrysanthemum Appreciation (9): The Reed-haired Monster Appears

In the hall, the members of the Eternal Club only just found out where Kitahara, the person in charge, had gone.

"It's still the same old habit. I mean my senior brother."

Putting the phone back, Komiya-san smiled at his companions and said, “I’m running to the front viewing area again.

"I think I was hoping to be the first to see the finish line."

"In this case, I can't tell whether it's Oguruma and the others who are under a lot of pressure, or it's Kitahara-nii who is under a lot of pressure."

Taro Yusuhara pondered, "They are all his own horse girls. No matter if he wins or loses, Kitahara-niang must be feeling very complicated."

"Come to think of it, we have discussed it privately many times," Xiao Gongshan said suddenly, "but we have never gathered together, or rather, we have never discussed it when Senior Brother was not present.

"I mean, who do you think will win this game, Little Chestnut, Little Bay, or Aldan?"

"It's not a matter of winning or losing anymore. Is it just a matter of who wins directly..." Kyoko Miyamura smiled a little awkwardly. She had talked with Komiyayama about the outcome of the Chrysanthemum Award before, but it was never so direct.

"I hope that Oguruma can win, but..."

The attitude of the new glory is very clear, but after expressing its position, it is a little hesitant, "Everyone receives the same training, and the running tactics are arranged separately.

"Besides, Mr. Kitahara has been in charge the whole time, so this kind of victory or defeat..."

Upon hearing this, there was a brief silence, which was then broken by the Tamamo Cross.

"Speaking of which, compared to winning or losing, we do have something very strange."

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone looked at her. Tamamo Cross continued, "I always feel that Oguri is more hesitant about the chrysanthemum appreciation, or... not so enthusiastic?"

"You shouldn't be passive, right?"

Inari was puzzled, “That girl, there’s no way she doesn’t want to win, especially since she hasn’t lost once since her debut.

“The second-placed horse girl who has won three championships without a single loss, doesn’t she have any fighting spirit at all?

"But..." Just after she confirmed it, she suddenly hesitated, "If I really want to say something, on the positive side...

“Anyway, basically since we started preparing for the Chrysanthemum Appreciation, Xiao Haiwan and Aldan have often come to me to talk about long-distance matters.

"After Xiaoyu and I finished the Emperor's Autumn Viewing Run and were able to do more independent training, the two of them often asked me to run with them.

"But Xiaoli...really rarely comes to see me."

"That's what I mean."

Tamamo Cross nodded and said, “That’s why we think Xiaoli is a little hesitant.

"Perhaps, she... might be thinking?"

"Huh? Are you kidding? Xiaoli..."

Just when he was about to say that it was impossible for someone as innocent as Oguruma to have such thoughts, but then he changed his mind and said, "Maybe...it's really like that.

“I am used to relying on training, experience and intuition to win games.

"Faced with an unprecedentedly important competition, you might think of ways to win in a different way than usual. You never know."

"Yeah, maybe..."

Muttering something, Tamamo Cross couldn't help but think of the night run he had done on a whim before the Emperor went to enjoy the autumn.

At that time, Kitahara had not yet adjusted his training methods, and the horse girls of the Eternal Club had basically never considered additional training on their own.

It was only after President Lu Duo mentioned that he would explain to Kitahara that everyone ran away together.

On that occasion, it was obvious that in order to appreciate the chrysanthemums, Ogurumao tried a completely inappropriate way of wearing the collar.

And then I lost miserably.

From this point of view, my good friend not only thought hard about it, but also made many attempts.

I don't feel positive, maybe because I haven't seen more attempts, but I have seen more attempts from Xiao Haiwan, Aldan and others, so I made this judgment.

Think about it carefully, even if we don't consider the undefeated triple crown or something like that, how could a horse racing girl hesitate about the competition or be unenthusiastic about it?

but……

Looking down at her feet, Tamamo Cross pursed her lips. Long-distance races cannot be won by not hesitating or being aggressive enough.

Normal training is normal training, but when you really participate in events of 3000 meters and above, it is no exaggeration to say that the training is completely different from what you imagined.

Having won the Hanshin Grand Prix and the Emperor's Spring Festival Gala, Tamamo Cross feels that he is qualified to say this.

But Oguruma has no experience in such competitions.

Although Little Bay and Aldan didn't have it either, in training, Little Bay clearly had the greater advantage, so great that it could be considered a chance of winning.

So, faced with this situation, what would you do...?
Especially you, Oguri, if you can win, how can you win... ?
Unconsciously, Tamamo Cross raised his head again.

Just looking at the screen in the hall.

Just then, I saw a silver-gray figure walking towards the gate step by step.

The whole hall suddenly fell silent.

The noisy arm wrestling, the lively onlookers, the magnificent declarations and resentful complaints, the angry glares and persuading, everything fell silent.

But it cannot be said to be silent, a steady and powerful baritone echoed.

“So, the much-anticipated, popular, gate-to-gate, and very coincidental reed-haired monster showed up.

"3000 meters ahead, a glorious moment awaits, a new door to history is about to open, and everyone on the scene and in front of the screen will soon become witnesses of history.

“Can the fifth Triple Crown horse girl in history, the second undefeated Triple Crown horse girl in history, be born?

“About to enter the gate.

"The game is about to begin."

The middle-aged commentator has considerable experience. He did not start off with an impassioned attitude like most of his peers, but spoke in a straightforward manner, as if he was reading a textbook.

The steady and powerful voice also gradually calmed down the cheers that erupted when the silver-gray figure walked towards the gate. Hundreds of thousands of eyes, with hidden passion, followed that figure.

Kitahara and Maruzenski were also looking at that figure.

The starting point of the Chrysanthemum Viewing is located directly opposite the spectator seats of the Kyoto Racecourse. Across the entire inner circle, the horse racing ladies entering the gate one after another look like small dots.

But the silver-gray figure was too obvious, and even from a distance, Kitahara and Maruzenski would not have made a mistake.

Even see it clearly.

"...I was a little slower than usual." After a moment of silence, Kitahara rubbed his forehead and spoke in a low voice.

"...I'm sorry," Maruzenski was silent for a moment, "I seem to have... messed up."

What she was talking about was racing with the Ogururi hat on. She had thrown Kitahara out of her sports car before, and she had gone racing with the Ogururi hat on on impulse.

Maybe it's a bit of a vent, but more of a realization.

She often races herself and knows what the ultimate speed is, at least what the ultimate speed is that a horse girl can understand.

She thought, if she let Little Chestnut experience that kind of speed, perhaps he would be more focused on the game instead of being distracted by other things?

She also knew her limits and told Xiaolimao in advance that if she felt something was wrong, she should stop immediately.

In that case, all you need to do is bring her here. As for enlightenment, it is a very mysterious thing and there is no 100% certainty.

As a result, Xiaolimao did not call for a stop.

She was so focused on racing that she didn't notice the changes in Xiaoli's hat.

All I know is that after getting off the bus, Xiaolimao became the dazed look he is now.

Even when Kitahara greeted her, she just said "Oh" in a daze.

This made her panic, and even though she confessed her impulse to Kitahara, she became even more panicked.

Because Kitahara also became dazed, and was dragged by himself to the front of the viewing area, and only now did he react.

That is, "...a little dazed than usual" was the first sentence he said after he noticed that Oguruma was acting dazed.
