Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 329 I Want to Confess
The moment the result of the Chrysanthemum Award was announced, it was as if he had suddenly returned to the days when he was active and had crossed the finish line to win some important competition. Only then did Maruzenski feel his heart beating wildly.

In fact, I have never been so nervous that I couldn't breathe.

Perhaps it was because of her youthful vigor or perhaps it was because of her overwhelming self-confidence, but she never felt there was any possibility of losing in every game.

Today's chrysanthemum viewing is completely different.

At this moment, perhaps only Kitahara knew that before the race started, she impulsively went racing wearing a little chestnut hat.

The original intention may be good.

Whether you want to help someone you like achieve a remarkable achievement, or show the younger generation the ultimate speed so that they can concentrate, this approach should be a good thing.

But this idea and practice can be said to be unprecedented, and no one knows what the consequences will be.

Moreover, the so-called original intention is merely selfish.

Maruzenski even thought in a moment that if she had not become more and more aware of her feelings for Kitahara, and if Oguruma was not his first horse racing girl, she would still do something, but she would not do something impulsive like racing.

Since it is an impulse with unpredictable consequences, it will make you so nervous that you can hardly breathe, and it is also something that cannot be controlled.

The result is particularly unpredictable, whether it is the Chrysanthemum Award for the final battle of the classic triple crown, or the Chrysanthemum Award for a horse girl who has already achieved two undefeated crowns.

Maruzenski also thought that if Oguruma lost because of his impulsiveness, he might not be able to face Kitahara, Oguruma, or even more.

As the trainer of Oguruma, I'm afraid all the blame will still be directed at Kitahara.

Even if I tell everyone, I am the one who affects Oguruma.

This is probably what is called fear.

This was what Maruzenski thought of the moment he saw Oguruma's name and Ichigo's ranking appear on the notice board.

These thoughts and fears surged into his mind, and then slowly receded like the tide. Only then did Maruzenski realize that Kitahara, who had been standing beside him, had disappeared at some point.

He looked around in confusion and panic.

Everywhere you look, you see crowds of people so enthusiastic that it's hard to describe them. The only thing they are cheering for in unison is the name "Oguruma".

I soon remembered that after winning the game, as the champion, Oguruma would receive a blue ribbon with the words "Chrysanthemum Award" printed on it and then conduct the winner's tour.

As a trainer, Kitahara has to accept interviews from various media while traveling with the team.

Later on, the horse girls will need to prepare for the performance on the winner's stage, while the trainers will handle various post-race matters, generally making some arrangements in conjunction with the stadium and training team.

This is a tradition in the Shining Series, and it has been the same for previous Chrysanthemum Awards.

However, this chrysanthemum viewing is obviously very special.

It was not only because of the sensational result of the birth of the undefeated triple crown horse girl, but also because Ogurimaru's origin was not from the central government, but from Kasamatsu in the local area.

This legendary experience had already made this horse racing girl extraordinarily popular before the Chrysanthemum Award.

Even compared with Tamamo Cross, who is known as the strongest in the ancient horse year, Oguri Hat is obviously much more popular, and the number of various peripherals, endorsements, and fans is often an order of magnitude higher.

Public opinion from all sides has already subtly dubbed this Cinderella who ran out of Kasamatsu and ran so brilliantly, the title of "superstar".

This will make the upcoming tours, performances, and interviews obviously more eye-catching and more lively.

Correspondingly, as the trainer of Oguruma, Kitahara is inevitably even busier.

Hmm... Even if we don't talk about his personality, just looking at his achievements, that person really has a hard life...

Just as he was secretly laughing and sighing in his heart, Maruzenski suddenly noticed that the phone in his pocket was vibrating wildly.

When he took it out and looked at it, he found that it was Lu Duo's call. Just as he was about to answer it, the call was hung up by itself and he received a text message instead.

He opened it and looked at it, then looked up at the lobby area at the top of the audience seats, put his phone away, turned his head to look at the stadium where more and more media were gathered, and Maruzenski walked towards the backstage against the crowd of spectators.

Following the direction mentioned in the text message, I arrived at a small conference room and found that all the people there were horse racing girls, and there were quite a few of them.

Lu Duo symbolizes and Qian Ming represents that the core members of the Student Union are all here.

Katsuragi Ace and Sirius Symbol, two horse girls who are very familiar with the student council members, are also there.

There are also several younger Umamusumes.

Narita Shirahito and Kisou are relatively familiar to Maruzenski. These two juniors have been coming to the student union frequently to study and assist in handling some work since half a year ago.

The new Guanghui is more familiar. Maruzenski can always see her whenever he goes to Eisei for training or just hangs out.

Although I don’t see the other two very often, they like to chat with the horse girls in the academy when they have nothing to do, and Maruzenski also knows them.

The one with short black hair and necklace-like gemstone earrings is Fujiki Stone.

The one with dark skin, wearing wreath earrings and looking very wild is the Amazon.

Rudo was chatting with the juniors when he saw Maruzenski coming in. Without waiting for her to say hello, Rudo indicated to the juniors that they could leave first.

After several juniors saluted in turn, took the initiative to greet Maruzenski, and then left, Maruzenski asked curiously: "Why, are these horse girls preparing to debut?
"That's not right. Guanghui has long since changed from a race walker to a trainee. Could it be that after seeing her friend achieve the undefeated triple crown, she wants to compete again?"

Maruzenski: This is of course a joke.

She knew very well that New Glory's talent was more in research. If there was any title like the Undefeated Triple Crown in this area, she felt that New Glory would undoubtedly be the strongest candidate.

"Unbeaten Triple Crown...ah..."

Without rushing to answer Maruzenski’s question, Ludo symbolically sighed, “Although I have guessed, expected, or expected.

"But when I saw Oguruma crossing the finish line and her name and ranking appeared on the bulletin board, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

“To be honest, when I first saw her, I thought she would be amazing and one of the most dazzling horse girls of this generation.

“But I didn’t expect her to be so dazzling.

"18 wins in 18 games, this is already a record for a legendary senior like Eclipse. I didn't expect that the legend I told her before the Classic Triple Crown would appear in the world again.

"If we don't talk about the 12 local-level victories, 8 wins in 8 games, 6 consecutive big rewards, and the undefeated triple crown, Oguri Hat's achievements are on par with Maruzen, Takamine, and me, and he's even better."

At this point, Lu Duo was slightly startled, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

"To be honest, with Oguruma's strength, even if she wasn't as strong as she is now when she was in Kasamatsu, I still think that she is a bit of a bully to other horse girls by participating in local competitions."

This might be the first time since Rudo started to like telling jokes that his jokes weren't funny enough.

This was totally unexpected and the friends were stunned for a while before they found it unexpectedly funny.

"...Hey, are you really Luduo? How could you tell such a joke..."

Ace Katsuragi couldn't help but complain.

"Ah? Of course I'm Luduo," Luduo was also stunned, and then a little dissatisfied, "I've always been good at telling jokes, okay?

"I still have many jokes in my collection. Don't you believe me? If you don't believe me, I'll..."

"No, no, no! I totally believe it, we totally believe it!"

Not only Katsuragi Ace, but almost all the horse girls also spoke in unison, knowing the level of joke that Rudo symbolized.

"Ahem... Anyway, you should explain the situation to Maruzen." Then, Representative Chiaki coughed dryly and changed the subject. "Ah? Um... Where was I just now?"

His train of thought was interrupted, and Lu Duo symbolically recalled, then he realized that he had not yet started talking about the main business, "Oh, right, those juniors.

"Kumi is definitely not going to make a comeback as an active player," she said seriously, looking at Maruzenski, "Her talent in research is probably the best I've ever seen.

“It was the first time that I felt that it would be more meaningful for a horse girl to do something other than running.

"So, I plan to recommend her to be the chairperson of the training department, and she thinks it's no problem."

"Training Department? Chairman?"

Maruzenski suddenly felt as if he had missed something, and was confused for a moment, "What is that?"

"Oh, by the way, you probably haven't seen this document yet."

As he spoke, Luduo symbolically picked up a document from the desk in the conference room and handed it over, "It was mixed in with the plan for the Peak Cup submitted by Kitahara after the oath and reference point came over.

“I was originally focusing on the schedule of the Peak Cup and didn’t pay much attention.

"Looking at it now, this project may be more meaningful than the Peak Cup."

Kitahara? Peak Cup? Other projects?
...How come I don’t know...

Feeling a little puzzled and inexplicably disappointed, Maruzenski subconsciously took the plan and started looking through it.

"It's about the proposal for the university department of Tresen College," seeing Maruzenski start to read it, Luduo explained symbolically, "In the plan, Kitahara mentioned that the current structure of Tresen College is actually not enough to continue to cooperate with the Peak Cup.

“The advanced division corresponds to the horse girls of the ancient horse year, the intermediate division corresponds to the horse girls of the classic year and those who debuted but did not win, and the elementary division corresponds to the horse girls who have not debuted.

“This is the current structure of the college.

“However, the academy does not have anything above the Gu Ma Nian or beyond the level of the Shining Series.

“What Beiyuan meant was that since humans have a distinction between middle schools and universities, then there should also be a corresponding distinction between Teresen College and universities.

“Not only is it necessary, but it is also very important.

"The competition structure, training requirements, daily life, and integration with society of the Peak Cup are completely different from the current competitions and the requirements of active players.

"If we blindly apply middle school standards to all matters in this regard, it will easily lead to various problems.

“It’s better to start from scratch.

“As for the number of students, after the Peak Cup begins, the number of horse girls who can participate in the first batch should theoretically be sufficient.

"As for trainers, funding, and many other details, we have plans in the planning."

"In short," Lu Duo heaved a sigh of relief, showing a gratified and admiring smile, "I have nothing to say about Beiyuan, and I don't mean to say anything bad.

"It's more that he can often anticipate what we need next, and then do it long before we think of it.

“Compared to this, I used to think that my work ability was excellent, but now I can no longer think so.

“Now, I can probably only do some marginal things.

"For example, based on this plan for the university department of Tresen College, we can adjust the current arrangements for the college's affairs to facilitate subsequent development."

While Ludo was explaining the symbolism, Maruzenski had almost finished reading the plan.

"...So, those juniors just now," Maruzenski handed the plan back in a daze, muttering, "are you planning to adjust the direction...?"

Maruzenski's description was a little strange, but Ludo seemed to understand what his friend meant.

"Well, it's obvious. Whether it's the Peak Cup or the University Division, once it starts, there will be people like Maruzen, Chiaki, and Takamine."

After taking the plan and putting it back, Lu Duo glanced at it and said, “There are also Himaru-senpai, Mipu and the others, so there will be more things to do.

"Then, Chiaki has mentioned to me that he wants to resign from the position of vice president of the student union and focus on the next competition. Himaru-senpai and the others have also said something similar to me.

“In this case, perhaps it would be better to adjust the organization of some colleges. Besides, there are more and more new and outstanding students, which is a good opportunity.

“My current thinking is that Bai Ren and Qi Cao, whom you just met, have the talent to be the backbone of the student union. They have also demonstrated this ability in their previous work.

"As for Shin Shin Glorious, I can serve as the chairman of the training department for the middle school and the university. Of course, the details of this will be arranged later.

“I would like Fujiki and Hishi Amazon to be the dormitory heads of Ritsuto and Miho dormitories.

"There are many other arrangements that we are discussing."

As he spoke, Lu Duo's expression moved, and he suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, I actually want to find a junior to take the position of student union president.

“I also considered Oguruma, and discussed it with Chiaki and the others.

"After much discussion, I found that Oguruma's personality and other factors make him unsuitable for doing anything too troublesome. Of course, he may have other ideas later.

"At the moment, we are trying to have Oguri Hat take over the position of security committee member, which is the job that Ms. Shunkawa Tezuna has been doing.

“Well, if you’re in charge of security, speed is definitely important, otherwise we won’t be able to catch those horse girls who skip school.

“There aren’t many people that Xiao Limao can’t catch up with now.

“So this is the overall idea.”

Nodding, Lu Duo showed an expectant look, "Although there are still things like the winner's stage to do later, but while the new triple crown and other performances are still being prepared, we can have a brief discussion.

"Just now, Maruzen, do you have any opinions or thoughts on these?"

"Opinions, thoughts..."

After Rudo's symbolic words fell, the horse racing ladies in the room all looked at Maruzenski with expectant eyes. It was obvious that they had discussed before and wanted to wait for her advice.

After muttering something softly, Maruzenski remained silent for a while.

"I... have an idea and would like to hear your opinions."

At this moment, Maruzenski's behavior was obviously a little different from usual, but all the horse girls, including Rudo, thought that she had just heard about this plan and were a little surprised.

"Well, that's why I called you over here," Luduo said with a symbolic smile, "But don't be too anxious, I feel that this kind of thing will still take a lot of time to accomplish.

"Anyway, just tell me first, Maruzen."

"Um……"

Maruzenski nodded and was silent for a while, "I want to confess my feelings to Kitahara, what do you think?"

"Well, so this kind of thing must take a lot of time..."

The conference room suddenly fell silent. Only Mejiro Takamine looked surprised and said, "How could I have forgotten about this?"

What broke the silence was the Luduo symbol who responded without thinking.

"……ah--?"
