Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 331: I'm so happy

As soon as Mejiro Gaofeng finished speaking, the whole conference room was filled with a depressing atmosphere. After a long moment, Lu Duo scratched his cheek as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Well, it seems that talking about marriage now is a bit heavy."

"Of course. As a man, your thoughts are not always that simple."

Mejiro Takamine said with an understanding look: “We seem to be chatting easily at the moment, but I can’t guarantee that others, if it’s Kitahara, will definitely think of the things I just said.

"That is, marriage, family, life, family background, and so on.

"After all, he is such a realistic and old-fashioned person.

"And the reason why you, Luduo, can talk about marriage is not only related to your education since childhood, but also to your family background."

Raising a finger and pointing at the somewhat unexpected Luduo symbol, Mejiro Takamine said with a half-smile, "To put it mildly, you are usually very busy and don't have many hobbies, but you still practice Kyudo whenever you have time.

“And those longbows in your collection, which are used for training, cost hundreds of thousands of yuan for each one.

“Collectible ones are more expensive.

“Besides your hobbies, you often buy training equipment and subsidies for many juniors out of your own pocket, and also support many activities of the college.

"With this kind of family background and spending habits, as well as previous bounties, there is definitely no pressure to get married. As long as you think you like each other, that's fine."

"That's it..."

Lu Duo nodded thoughtfully, "Gao Feng, what you said makes a lot of sense. Now..."

"Don't rush into getting married now. The most important thing is to establish a relationship first."

The Sirius symbol suddenly interrupted and said, “The topic you two are talking about is still too heavy.

"Relax a little, if you like me, just go up and confess.

"If the confession fails, just do it against the wall.

"If the wall-dong doesn't work, just kiss directly.

"We can talk about marriage later. The main thing is to win Beiyuan over first."

"Hey? Just kissing? It sounds exciting."

"Oh~ I didn't expect you to be so passionate about feelings, Sirius. I have changed my mind about you."

"Kiss? Isn't this too fast? It's a bit too early..."

"Wait! If we kiss... you won't get pregnant!"

Originally, Representative Chiaki, Representative Mejiro Takamine, and Representative Rudo expressed their opinions on Sirius' proposal in different expressions.

After Katsuragi Ace's sudden surprise, all the horse girls, including Maruzenski who had a shy look, turned their eyes to her.

"...No, sisters..."

He had been supporting his face with his hands, and when his arm was dislocated, Qian Ming representative almost fell off the chair, "You are the baby, right?

"You are one of the most famous seniors in the academy, why don't you even know something like normal physiological common sense?

“Are you serious?
"Can kissing lead to pregnancy?
"Basic Physiology and Hygiene, you've never heard of it or read the textbook, have you?"

After a lot of complaints, Qianming felt a headache.

"Uh, physiology...basics of hygiene?" Ace Katsuragi blinked, scratched his head, and looked confused.

"Okay, don't think about it."

Lu Duo raised his hand to his forehead, "I was a class committee member back then. You forgot how much homework you hadn't handed in, Katsuragi, but I remember it clearly.

"You never did the basic physiology and hygiene homework, and the ones I forced you to hand in later were all cobbled together to satisfy the teacher."

"Eh?" Katsuragi Ace was stunned, "Is that so?"

"It seems to be true," Representative Qian Ming agreed, "although I have no memory of the physiological hygiene homework.

"But I do remember that I seemed to have helped Katsuragi with some homework."

"In short, I now believe that the establishment of a university department proposed by Kitahara is a very necessary thing."

Lu Duo sighed symbolically, “Once things here are dealt with, I will immediately visit the Minister of Culture and Education and relevant people with Chairman Akikawa.

"Now..."

She looked at Maruzenski and suddenly scratched her cheek, "It's... the way Sirius just mentioned...

"Maruzen, what do you think...?
"Of course, I think that kissing won't lead to pregnancy...

"But, but it's too hasty, and the wall-dong thing is also...

"S-So, maybe... kissing the face shouldn't be a problem...?"

Like a traffic police, she flirted with her cheeks and gestured back and forth with her hands. Suddenly, this horse racing girl with the prestige of an emperor became hesitant.

"Wow~ Luduo, you actually have a pure and innocent personality."

This sentence made Lu Duo's hesitation turn into shame and anger. The instigator turned his head and looked at Gao Feng as if he didn't see it and rejected the former's proposal.

“Kissing on the cheek, kissing on the mouth, etc., after the relationship is confirmed, you can do whatever you want.

“Now, let’s first find a way to confirm Kitahara’s attitude towards you, Maruzen.

"I remember I said this before, right? Of course I didn't say it before, but it's not too late to say it now.

“Relationships are a matter between two parties. It’s useless for you, Maruzen, to be active alone.

“Besides, it seems that you have also tried it, but you haven’t tried it so thoroughly.

"It's a good opportunity to find out for sure."

From the beginning of this "emotional interrogation" until now, Mejiro Takamine has acted like someone who knows a lot about love.

Not only Maruzenski, but the other horse girls also have a sense of conviction.

Hearing the suggestion, all the horse racing girls nodded and then showed a thoughtful expression.

"Have you found out?"

Lu Duo was the first to speak: "This is a good idea. Otherwise, with Beiyuan's personality, maybe he won't even have to wait for the topic of marriage to come up. Just the idea of ​​love can make him back off.

"but……"

She glanced at Maruzenski and said, “When did you try it? How come we didn’t know?
"and……"

She looked at Mejiro Gaofeng again, suspicious, "Why does Gaofeng look like he knows everything...?"

"Hmm... this..."

Mejiro Takamine hesitated for a moment, not sure whether he should tell him about the conversation he had with Maruzen last night.

"Because I told her."

Maruzenski himself had nothing to hide. He smiled and spoke softly, "It was last night that I saw Oguruma hesitating on the training ground..."

Once again, I experienced my feelings for Kitahara little by little.

She did not hide the possible emotional entanglement between Kitahara and Oguruma, and the renewed test the next day, and told all of them to her friends.

"So, that's it. It seems a bit complicated..."

Maruzenski was a little embarrassed, and he touched his hair with some regret, "Thinking about it carefully, I was too impulsive.

“It was the last match of the classic triple crown, and it was also the undefeated triple crown, but I did something impulsive because of my own selfishness.

"Not only did I go to Kitahara with the Ogurusha...

"And before that, I left him in the car and went racing with Xiao Limao in a frenzy...

“Thinking about it now, the situation after the second Yodo-no-Zaka race, I really felt like I couldn’t breathe…

"If something unexpected happens because of my willfulness...

"It's easy to have accidents, I mean, losing the Chrysanthemum Award...

"So, the reason I suddenly wanted to tell you all this and confess my feelings to Kitahara was probably because of what I felt during the Chrysanthemum Appreciation...?"

The voice became lower and lower, more and more ethereal, and Maruzenski became a little confused.

She herself couldn't understand this emotion, and her friends like Luduo were even more confused.

Subconsciously, several horse girls looked towards Mejiro Peak.

"It's a little strange that you guys think I'm a love expert, but..."

Understanding the meaning of the gaze directed at him, Mebai Gaofeng smiled ambiguously, "Maybe it's because... of his childish nature." "Childish nature...?" Now, all the horse girls looked at the Ludor symbol again.

During this time, although the effects of the medicine symbolizing Luduo had not completely disappeared, he did grow taller.

It's just that his height has been limited, and he looks like someone who has just entered Tresen College.

"I said, you guys..."

Being treated like a child, veins on Lu Duo's forehead emerged for a moment, and he rubbed it, saying helplessly: "Gao Feng, don't keep me in suspense, just say whatever you want to say."

"I'm not keeping you in suspense. This is exactly what I'm going to say."

With a playful smile, Mejiro Takamine continued, "He probably wanted to comfort me, and maybe he also wanted to take credit for it."

"Comfort? Take credit...?"

"Yeah, it was like I had made a mistake or my mischief was about to be exposed, and I watched the entire chrysanthemum viewing with trepidation.

“Later I found out that not only was there nothing wrong, the prank did not lead to a bad ending, but actually a good ending.

"At this time, of course I want to find someone to comfort myself and take credit.

"What's the difference between this kind of thinking and that of a child?"

Now, all the horse girls understood.

Although his behavior was seen as childish, Maruzenski was not as angry as Rudor. Instead, he showed a smug smile.

"Little kid..." she muttered to herself.

"Well... um, Maruzen, you really are more like a child than me right now."

After making a funny remark, Lu Duo thought for a moment, “But I understand your thoughts very well.

"It's true that my love for you is slowly growing. I mean, your love for Kitahara.

"However, from what you said, Kitahara doesn't have any romantic feelings for Oguruma, otherwise he wouldn't have taken her out for supper last night.

"And given his personality and style, it's hard to imagine that he would go beyond ethics and morality to date and fall in love with those kid-like juniors."

It was a bit difficult to say the last word, and Luduo, who looked really innocent, coughed dryly.

“But precisely because of this, I think it is even more necessary to further test Kitahara’s intentions.

“I’m talking to you, Maruzen.

"Very good, then..."

Luduo suddenly became excited and said, "Let's organize a special committee with the highest confidentiality on the theme of the love between Maruzen and Kitahara.

"The first task of the committee, of course, is to find out what Kitahara thinks of Maruzen.

“It would be best to determine if he has feelings for Maruzen.

"So, does anyone have any idea about the planning details, agenda, and opinion survey of the Love Special Committee?"

"...Please, Luduo, now that you mention this... the topic has become serious again..."

Almost in unison, the other horse girls, including Maruzenski, expressed helplessness.

“Is that so…?” Luduo blinked, a little at a loss.

"Just send a text message."

Just as straightforward as before, Sirius left Luduo behind and said directly: "Isn't it popular among students nowadays to use some code words to express their feelings?
“If the other party understands, it’s easy to test it out.

“If you like it, everyone’s happy.

"If you get rejected, don't worry about the relationship ending before it even begins.

"Because I can pretend that I don't know the code and am just following the trend, or playing truth or dare, and I can get away with it that way.

“If the other person doesn’t understand, you can try another approach, or use truth or dare as an excuse to proactively explain.

“Then you can go back one step.

"In that case...wait, why are you looking at me like that?"

Sirius was stunned.

"I always feel like... you don't seem like someone who would be interested in love..."

Amidst the strange and weird looks from everyone regarding the symbol of Sirius, Luduo struggled to express everyone's thoughts.

"But why are you so skilled, Sirius?

"Could it be that you are like Maruzen, and also..."

"Wait, Luduo, what on earth are you and the others thinking about?"

The Sirius symbol's eyes collapsed into a half-moon shape, and he was very helpless. "It's Gu Shui Gin, and Zhongshan Qingqing and the others."

"Ah? What does it have to do with those younger generations?" Lu Duo asked puzzledly.

"I play cards and mahjong with them and raise the bet after losing."

When it comes to playing cards, the Sirius symbol immediately became interested, “You guys don’t really play these, so I used to play by myself.

“Then I followed Kitahara and the others and met the horse girl of the Golden Family, and especially met Nakayama Jisei. I found that she was young and had great card skills, so we started playing together.

“Gin was a poker buddy I knew before, so the three of us played cards together whenever we had time.

“The usual bets are gold coins and chocolates.

"If you raise the stakes, it's something like truth or dare.

"For example, prank confessions, love letters, and...anything related to love, these are very popular among young people.

"So, I know all this from them."

After explaining his knowledge of love operations, Sirius snapped his fingers at Maruzenski.

"So, what do you think of this suggestion, Maruzen?"

"It seems... very interesting and useful."

After thinking for a while, Maruzenski nodded, and then his eyes lit up, "Oh, right, I remembered that when I was still in college, there seemed to be some truth or dare games like this.

"Let me think about it..."

As she thought about it, she took out her phone and started typing on the screen.

"Look, is this okay?"

Curious eyes immediately focused on the mobile phone screen in Maruzen's hand.

Soon, curiosity turned into confusion.

"114106..."

Looking at the line of numbers on the screen, the Sirius symbol who made the suggestion asked in confusion: "…What does that mean?"

"Eh? You guys don't know? This was my code word when I was in school."

Seeing that his friends really didn’t understand, Maruzenski explained, “This string of numbers needs to be read in groups.

“The first 1 is actually a pictograph, corresponding to the capital letter ‘I’, which is あ.

"The last 1 is read as いち and takes the sound of い.

“4 is it.

"10 is pronounced as て according to the English word ten.

“If it’s 6, then it’s る.

"So, if we put the whole thing together, it would be あいしてる (Auntie washes the railway)."

After finishing the code in one breath, Maruzenski couldn't help but blush, "What do you think, should this be...

“…Hey, what’s with that expression on your face…?”

...The expression of feeling "not so good"...

This is really...

It's confusing, far-fetched, and... an old-fashioned codeword...

The same thoughts echoed in the hearts of the embarrassed horse racing ladies.
