Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 330 Getting married...? !

The topic of academy development that they were originally discussing suddenly turned into love. Except for Maruzenski himself and Mejiro Takamine who knew about it, none of the other horse girls reacted.

Perhaps, even Maruzenski himself did not expect that he would suddenly say such a thing at this moment.

In the past, in the eyes of outsiders, I might not care much about the affairs of the Student Union, and the time I spent in the office in the whole year might not even add up to more than a month like Lu Duo.

On weekdays, instead of paying attention to office affairs, she seems to be either chatting with seniors, peers and juniors everywhere, or trying to trick people into racing.

And that's exactly her job.

If the students of the academy, including the entire Uma Musume industry, want to develop, they cannot rely solely on strict and clear rules and regulations. It is also very important to confirm everyone's thoughts and feelings one by one.

This is not something that the serious and majestic Ludo symbol is very good at, but it is very suitable for Maruzenski, who is easy-going and very tolerant.

So, she actually pays great attention to the development of the college.

In the past, I would never bring up inappropriate topics when discussing these matters.

And confessing such words is obviously inappropriate now.

So, as if awakened, Ruduo symbolically said "ah" for a long time, and when she finished speaking, Maruzenski had already put on his usual casual smile.

"Lu Duo, you're right. Things like that still take more time, such as planning details, arranging the agenda, and investigating student opinions. All of these require..."

What Maruzenski described is exactly the process by which the student union handles important affairs on a daily basis.

Based on the current structure of Tresen College and according to the development of the Peak Cup, it is obviously a very important matter to expand the Umamusume University Department.

To do this, we need to further refine the initial plan, communicate and invite relevant parties for discussions, distribute survey questionnaires on a large scale, and summarize opinions from all parties.

But whether it is the hardworking Ludo symbol or the other horse girls in this conference room, their minds are not on their university development at all at this moment.

There was a sudden tacit understanding, and they looked at each other very quickly. In Maruzenski's astonished eyes, the horse racing girls suddenly ran around the room at a speed no less than that of the race.

With a bang, Luduo rushed to the door, opened it, stuck his head out like a thief, looked around for a while, retracted his head, closed the door, and locked it.

With a swish, Qianming walked to the window, looked around for a moment, and then pulled up the curtains.

The room suddenly became dark.

Click, Sirius symbolizes turning on the light.

With a click, Mejiro Gaofeng moved a chair over.

With a chuckle, Ace Katsuragi grabbed the still dazed Maruzenski and pressed her onto the chair.

Afterwards, very neatly, as if they were attending a lecture, several horse racing girls sat opposite Maruzenski, their eyes shining, staring at him blankly, their looks full of anticipation.

Illuminated by this expectation, Maruzenski finally reacted.

"...Is it," she hesitated, "that you are still missing a desk lamp and a pork chop rice?"

Ludo, the symbol of the horse girl, was about to say something, but was startled when he heard it, and Katsuragi Ace was the first to react.

"Hey, don't be so nervous. How can this be an interrogation? Maruzen, you are such a joker."

"Pork chop rice during interrogation" is a very interesting anecdote in Japan. In film and television works, there are often scenes of providing pork chop rice to prisoners and then making them confess.

Maruzenski also felt that the atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing and weird, so he couldn't help but complain.

Even though they denied it, the Katsuragi Aces themselves, including Rudo who represented them, felt that this approach of treating the enemy as if they were facing a great enemy was a bit too serious.

"Well, yes, don't be so nervous, we..."

With a dry cough, Luduo waved his hand symbolically and said, "We just want to know why Maruzen suddenly... said such words?"

"That kind of words... confession..."

Just like when he was talking to Mejiro Takamine, Maruzenski said what was in his heart without thinking. He was panicked and shy for a moment, and wanted to pretend that nothing had happened.

After that, I felt at ease. Perhaps, the so-called thoughtless words were exactly what I wanted to say deep in my heart.

She also wanted to ask these friends where her relationship should go next.

"It's not that sudden... Well, maybe it seems very sudden to you, after all, I don't usually show it."

Seeing his friends nodding expectantly, Maruzenski smiled and continued, "But for me, it should be that after repeated contacts, I will gradually develop a liking for her, and the liking will gradually turn into love.

“As for confession, it’s actually not that complicated.

"If you like someone, then confess your feelings. Isn't that a natural thing to do?"

Luduo and the other horse racing girls looked at each other in bewilderment.

“If you put it that way,” Representative Qian Ming spoke up, “it seems to be true.

"My husband and wife are like this. One of them said, I like you, let's elope.

“The other one said, I like you too, let’s elope.

"And then we eloped."

“…Isn’t that too casual?!” Chiaki’s summary of his parents’ love caused a group of horse girls to exclaim in surprise.

“Not casually,” Representative Qian Ming corrected with a smile, “I haven’t finished yet.

"Listening to them show their affection... when they were just chatting, they talked about how my dad cared for my mom when she was still in the academy, how he brought her breakfast and lunch every day, went to dinner together, and prepared drinks and training equipment for her.

“During special periods, special meals and drinks will be brought.

"Then I compiled all the reports, medals, certificates of honor and so on into a booklet. I also made two copies, one for my collection and one for my mother.

“My mother is pretty much the same.

“Helping to prepare clothes for business trips, preparing chocolates for Valentine’s Day, organizing brochures, and so on.

"So, they were already in love before they eloped. When they actually eloped, it didn't seem that surprising."

"Hey, hey, hey, Qianming, how can you say that about your parents...?"

Regarding the last adjective of Representative Chiaki, Luduo Symbol expressed helplessness, while Ace Katsuragi thought about it.

"But if that's the case, Maruzen isn't Kitahara's horse girl, and we usually only meet for work. How can we fall in love... well, I mean, how did this relationship come about?"

"So, at the moment, it's just that Maruzen has developed feelings for Kitahara because of their long-term contact, and he wants to express his love for her."

After Katsuragi Ace asked, Mejiro Takamine, who knew some of the inside story, continued, “As for what Kitahara thinks, not only Maruzen, but we also know nothing.

"In this case, Maruzen would probably be a little confused and want to ask us the reason."

"I see. In that case, maybe we should find a way to ask?"

After sharing the "parents' love story," Qian Ming seemed to feel that he had a say in emotional issues, and he rested his chin on his hand and thought, "Of course, I mean ask Kitahara.

"Based on my impression of Kitahara, he seems to be completely insulated from things like love.

“Have you ever seen anything from him other than work?
"Or in other words, besides training and competition, is there anything else he is interested in?"

Upon hearing this, almost without hesitation, all the horse girls shook their heads, even Maruzen.

"So, if Maruzen were to confess to him right now, I doubt he would even ask... ahem." Clearing his throat, Representative Chiaki lowered his voice, "'Confession'? Is it a new way of running? Or is it some kind of plan of the student union or the board of directors?
"That should be the case. I mean Kitahara's reaction."

The conference room was silent for a while, and then there was a helpless but cheerful laughter.

"It sounds like that. Kitahara may be good at everything, but in terms of emotions or feelings outside of work, he seems to be quite blank or boring."

The Ludo symbolism gives a conclusion.

"So what I mean is," Representative Chiaki shrugged, "No matter how much Maruzen likes her, it's her business, and liking someone is a matter for both parties.

“We may have to think of a way to see what Kitahara’s attitude towards Maruzen is.

"Or should we first confirm whether there is such an emotion as 'like' in the brain circuit of a person like him."

"That's true..."

The horse girls fell into silence and thought again, and soon, Rudo looked at Maruzenski symbolically.

"However, rather than asking Kitahara, I would like to ask you, Maruzen."

When Maruzen looked over in surprise, Lu Duo continued, "You said you like Beiyuan and want to confess to him, I can understand that.

"As for feelings, Maruzen, you are also a senior, it would be strange if you didn't have any at all.

"so……"

"Wait, Luduo, you mean..."

Unconsciously, Maruzenski's ears fell back, "Does it mean that I am very old, or that I am very old?"

"Uh... Of course I didn't mean that. I, I meant..."

Realizing that he was misunderstood by his friend, Lu Duo was very embarrassed, "It's just...

"Ah! That's right!"

She suddenly thought of a suitable explanation, "Get married!
"Yes! It's marriage!
"If you like someone so much that you want to confess your love, then you should aim to get married!

"That's what I mean!"

“Get married…?!”

Maruzenski was confused, and the other horse girls beside him suddenly looked strange.

"Hey, Luduo," Qianming raised his chin and tilted his head, looking helpless, "Maruzen still has some mountains and seas. To use your favorite colloquialism, it's not even a stroke yet.

"The confession hasn't even started yet, and you've already rushed to the finish line.

"This is a foul in the game."

“Is it a foul…?”

Lu Duo was stunned. She originally thought that love must be related to marriage. After all, this was what she had been taught since childhood.

"Well, it was indeed a foul, and Maruzen's side..."

Seeing Maruzenski's slightly flushed cheeks, Mejiro Takamine smiled playfully, "It seems a bit unexpected, maybe he hasn't thought that far ahead.

"And everyone in Beiyuan knows that he is serious and rigid, even old-fashioned. He is so old-fashioned that he doesn't seem like a young man in his twenties at all.

"If he hears the topic of marrying Maruzen, he might be scared off because it's too heavy."

"Scare, scare away?!"

“Heavy?!”

Maruzenski and Rudo symbolized different reasons and exclaimed in unison.

The other horse girls were also a little surprised. Representative Chiaki couldn't help but ask, "Scared off? Are you saying that Kitahara might reject Maruzen?"

As she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Maruzenski, whose originally flushed cheeks now looked a little too pale.

"I once joked with Kitahara that if he had the idea, he could consider marrying into the Mejiro family."

This statement shocked everyone, and the other horse girls all showed horrified expressions, but Mebai Gaofeng herself seemed to be in crisis, and continued: "But he refused it outright.

“To be honest, I considered it seriously at the time and talked to the clan leader about it. He didn’t think it was a big deal. After all, you know the situation of the Mejiro family, and they don’t reject this kind of thing.

"So, I feel really bad for being rejected, especially now that he is getting better and better."

Continuing to say words that horrified his friends, Mejiro Takamine pondered for a moment.

"Or maybe it's something he refused.

"At the time, he said that he had never considered love or marriage, and just wanted to focus on training, competition, and industry development.

“At the time, I thought he might be too career-oriented and too focused on the horse racing ladies, that is, us.

“And he’s also a typical male chauvinist, a straight man.

“Machoism is what he said himself.

"So, I'm not surprised that a man with this kind of personality would refuse the proposal of marrying into the wife's family."

After a pause, seeing the shock on his friends' faces turn into thoughtfulness, Mebai Gaofeng continued, "However, after hearing what Lu Duo said about getting married, I have a new idea.

"Maruzen, how much did your beloved car cost?"

The sudden change of topic startled all the horse girls, and before Maruzenski could speak, Katsuragi Ace answered first: "Is it the Lamborghini Countach LP400S?

“If I remember correctly, this one should be limited edition.

"Although the selling price seemed to be more than 170 million pounds at the time, it might be a little more expensive as a collection now."

As he spoke, Katsuragi Ace, who knew a little about vehicles because he loved motorcycles and sports cars, looked at Maruzenski and sighed, "If converted into Japanese yen, it would be almost hundreds of millions.

“If it were an ordinary horse racing girl, I’m afraid she wouldn’t be willing to drive such a luxurious car out.

"But in the entire Tresen Academy, it seems that you are the only one who can drive like this."

After sighing, Ace Katsuragi looked at Mejiro Takamine again, puzzled, "But, Takamine, why did you suddenly mention this? Does this have anything to do with the topic we just talked about?"

Not only Katsuragi Ace, but the other Umamusumes were also confused, but Mejiro Takamine remained calm and continued, “It’s very simple.

"If I remember correctly, the one who had the highest accumulated prize money among us should be Lu Duo's 6.8 million yen.

“And it was 6.8 million around the peak of Japan’s economic situation.

“That is to say, the sports car that Maruzen casually drives costs more than the prize money that Luduo won for winning the Arima Kinen.

“Maruzen’s family background has not yet been mentioned.

“What do you think, facing the favor of such a horse girl, combined with what I just said, the personality of male chauvinism, straight men, and reality.

"Will Kitahara be scared off because he thinks life after marriage will be a bit heavy?"
