Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 333 A Normal Man's Hobbies

After reading the message sent by Maruzenski together with Kitahara, Yusuhara smiled.

“Although I don’t quite understand what the last sentence means.

“But at the moment, Maruzen still knows you, Kitahara-nii, very well.

"When it comes to things related to Uma Musume, especially competitions and training, you are more active than anyone else."

After sighing, Yuhara thought for a moment, "It's not that there's anything wrong with this. Brother Kitahara has achieved what he has today precisely because of this positivity.

“But like I said just now, Brother Kitahara, you have always been like this. I don’t know about Komiya-san, but as a junior, I still feel a lot of pressure.

“For example, outside of work, even if I want to invite Brother Beiyuan to relax, I can’t find a suitable way.

"Because you don't seem to have any hobbies other than training and competitions."

He smiled bitterly, “So, I really feel that perhaps Brother Kitahara can treat this invitation from Maruzen as a hobby cultivation.

"Racing and stuff like that is a pretty good hobby."

When Yusuhara started to speak, Kitahara happened to be considering Maruzenski's invitation.

He was already planning to agree.

However, it was not because of any hobby cultivation, but simply because I wanted to better understand racing techniques from Maruzen from the perspective of training and competition.

Just like what Yuhara said, once he encountered these things, his entire energy was focused in an instant.

But he also heard the following words and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

When I first established the Eternal Team, I had a sincere discussion with Yusuhara and the others about what I wanted to achieve, and they also agreed with my idea.

Or it can be said that their ideas are similar, and it is because of the common goals and dreams that they can come together.

But in the subsequent interactions, he no longer paid attention to the thoughts of those who worked hard with him, and only focused on moving forward, forward, and forward.

So, just like neglecting the dreams and emotions of the horse racing girls themselves, it seems that I cannot say that I understand Yusuhara and the others.

When Yusuhara said "I feel a lot of pressure", it sounded like he was joking, but maybe that was what he really thought.

Because I had predicted many things, and I had never relaxed, and even the fact that the Chrysanthemum Shooting was a coincidence and Maruzenski went racing with the Oguri hat, I was able to achieve the achievement of an undefeated triple crown.

If any of the above points were missing, the outcome of this year’s Classic Triple Crown would probably be changed.

But this may not seem so to others.

In the eyes of others, especially from their attitude towards himself, it seems that he has regarded himself as an omnipotent person, at least in the training and competition of Uma Musume.

The most obvious is that the backbone of the student union, represented by Lu Duo, is increasingly seeking his opinions on various matters, and even directly adopting his own plans.

For example, if the plan outlined by the Department of Trasen University was earlier, Lu Duo would at most say to take it back for discussion and then further deliberation.

This time, the president directly stated that he would prepare all the details before making a formal proposal.

But Kitahara knows very well that he is not omnipotent. He just knows more and is working harder on Uma Musume. He also has many uncertainties.

For example, this time's chrysanthemum appreciation and the Emperor's autumn appreciation some time ago.

Going forward, with the launch of the Youth Cup, Peak Cup and more new competitions, he will become more and more uncertain.

In this situation, if I continue to move forward blindly, it may not be a good thing for my like-minded companions who believe in me and follow me.

and so……

As he thought about it, Kitahara couldn't help but want to tell Yuhara about his thoughts.

"Hey? Brother, what are you two talking about?"

Coming over with a curious expression, pulling Miyamura Kyoko, Komiya Katsumi looked left and right, her eyes subconsciously focused on Kitahara's phone, "I just heard you talking about hobbies?
“Racing?
"Brother, could it be that your wooden head has finally become normal and you want to cultivate some hobbies that a normal man should have?"

"A normal man...?"

Beiyuan was stunned, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Am I abnormal?"

"Brother, do you think you are normal?"

Komiya looked genuinely surprised, while Miyamura Kyoko next to him seemed to be unable to hold back her laughter.

"Come on, what normal man would still think about training and racing after his horse girl wins the Classic Triple Crown? Wouldn't he just be thinking about how to celebrate?"

After being surprised, Xiao Gongshan complained, "And it's an undefeated three-time championship, an undefeated three-time championship."

It sounded like she actually heard the conversation between Kitahara and the others before, “Look, even though she’s just your junior sister, my college classmates have all called to congratulate me.

“It’s the same with Sister Kyoko.

"And several sisters said, 'I heard you're still single,' and asked if they wanted to get you together to organize a social gathering or something.

"As it turned out, you didn't seem to have any hobbies or interests outside of work, so we didn't know how to agree to it.

"I don't even dare to introduce you to others."

As she spoke, she poked the screen of her cell phone, along with Miyamura Kyoko's, in front of Kitahara's eyes.

Uh, it seems... my usual behavior really caused some trouble for Shengmei and the others...

Wait, no, I haven't had that thought about socializing or anything like that, so it doesn't seem like I'm the one causing the trouble...

Feeling a little entangled for a moment, Kitahara couldn't help but continue the previous topic and said, "So what do you mean, should I agree to Maruzen and learn how to race cars like Yusuhara suggested?"

"Of course, speed racing is so cool. Brother, if you can speed racing, even without the blessing of the trainer's performance, the girls chasing you can line up from the Tokyo stadium to the Osaka stadium, okay?"

Komiya's description was a bit exaggerated, and Kitahara found it a little funny at first.

But after thinking about it, it seems like it's really possible.

It’s not that there are really so many girls chasing after me, but the trend of car racing is just emerging in Japan at that time.

For example, the Suzuka Circuit in Japan, southwest of Tokyo, just started hosting the F1 Formula One event last year.

Later on, racing gradually became popular, further triggering various artistic creations.

For example, the famous "Initial D" was almost born under this kind of atmosphere.

"But suddenly speaking of racing..."

After looking around curiously again, Komiya did not dare to look at Kitahara's phone screen directly, but asked eagerly: "Did someone invite you to go racing?

"Male or female?

"Isn't it a cute girl?

"Wow, I didn't realize that you, brother, actually started the social gathering before us?"

Komiya teased.

"That's not it."

Kitahara casually said, “It was Maruzen who invited me.

“When I was admiring the chrysanthemums before, I was very interested in Ogurimoro’s breakaway technique on the downhill section of Yodo-no-Zaka.

“Maruzen told me that it was because she was racing with the Oguri hat on.

"Then I wanted to find an opportunity to ask her about it. "Well, this is not a coincidence, she must have guessed what I was thinking, so she sent me this text message."

There was nothing to hide, so he turned his phone screen outward.

After quickly seeing the text message on the screen, Katsumi Komiyama understood everything.

"So that's how it is. That's normal."

She smiled and said, "After all, you, my senior brother, have nothing but competition in your mind. It's normal for President Maruzen to think of you and ask you in advance.

"Then you go.

“Although President Maruzen’s car is very fast, his driving skills must be excellent.

“Besides, you are a grown man, you shouldn’t have no interest in cars, right?
“It just happens to be a hobby.

“I agree with Yuhara on this point.

"Sister Kyoko, you should think so too, right?"

Kyoko Miyamura, who was pulled over by Komiyayama, was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, my classmates and friends always say that if you can race, it will be a plus in dating.

“Besides, think about it, Brother Kitahara, since you love Uma Musume so much, you should be able to tolerate speed, right?
“Then racing and racing may be one of the best ways for us as humans to experience the speed of Uma Musume.

"Perhaps, after you learn how to drag race or race a car, you will have a deeper understanding of speed, and your training level may even make a breakthrough."

"Wow, Sister Kyoko, his mind is already full of training and competitions, and you still say that."

"Ah... But if I were to give some advice to Brother Kitahara, this seems to be the most appropriate method..."

"That's true..."

After a brief argument with Miyamura Kyoko, Komiya nodded helplessly, then rolled his eyes at Kitahara, "Anyway, just agree to it, Brother."

"Yes, Brother Kitahara, in fact, in my opinion, President Maruzen's racing skills should be excellent."

Taro Yusuhara suddenly added: "When I was in the UK, I had some contact with racing cars, so I can probably feel it."

In fact, at the very beginning, Kitahara had already planned to accept Maruzenski's invitation. He originally wanted to learn that peculiar drifting method.

The words of several colleagues made him more certain of this decision.

Whether it's developing a hobby, behaving like a "normal man", or feeling the speed of racehorse girls and thus improving your training level, these are all powerful reasons.

Of course, the most powerful one is definitely the last one.

So, without thinking, he sent a message to Maruzenski and Kitahara asked subconsciously.

"Hmm? Yusuhara, have you ever been involved in racing?"

"Probably when I went to Europe to study. Of course, I also had some contact with England."

Yuhara nodded and said, "Many of my classmates like racing cars and drive them regularly. Sometimes they even invite me to play with them.

“Of course, at my level, I can only play karting, but that is already very fast.

“When I went to Europe for a study tour, I went to the Nürburgring with my friends.

“It’s a very famous racetrack in Luxembourg. Although it was just opened a few years ago, the first race was the European F1 Grand Prix.

"The terrain there is good, and the facilities are of competition grade. Speed ​​and safety can be guaranteed. Now many European drivers like to go there for competition or practice."

"I see……"

Kitahara knows nothing about racing, or perhaps the only thing he knows is "Initial D".

However, in this timeline, the comics of "Initial D" have not yet come out, so there is no way to confirm what the driving skills and Akina Mountain are like.

However, I vaguely remember that the AE86, the car driven by the protagonist in that anime, seemed to have been put into production.

In this case, if you really want to try to learn racing or something in the future, you might consider buying one or something.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Xiao Gongshan speak in surprise.

"Hey? Senior Brother, you...just replied with this?"

Kitahara was stunned and subconsciously followed Komiya's line of sight, only to find that she was looking at her mobile phone. After he replied, he turned the screen over.

【Kitahara: OK (read)】

"……yes."

After thinking about it, Kitahara felt that Komiya was referring to the message he replied to. He scratched his head and said, "Is there something wrong...?"

"Is there anything wrong? I am really impressed by you, brother."

Komiya-san muttered, "I originally thought that after you became the trainer of the undefeated triple crown horse girl, many fans would come to you and confess their love to you.

"You are so stupid, I don't know what to say.

“Although it’s not a social gathering or anything like that, President Maruzen is a girl, right? And she took the initiative to invite you to do something.

"So how can you be so perfunctory to others?"

Beiyuan didn't quite understand. He was quite busy with his daily work, and a concise reply like this was the most efficient, so he always replied in this way in the past.

This is also true for Maruzenski.

But if you think about it carefully, Komiyayama seems to be very dissatisfied with this matter, as if he had done something wrong.

"Well... Actually, I did receive some love confession letters, but I felt it was too troublesome, so I asked Miss Junchuan to return them to the mail room..."

Unable to help but explain, Kitahara scratched his head and explained: "Besides, I usually reply to messages like this..."

"Is that why I say that you are a blockhead, or do you want me to...eh?"

After saying half of the sentence, Xiao Gongshan was stunned and soon became helpless.

“…Well, it seems that President Maruzen doesn’t think it’s a big deal, so let’s forget it this time.

“You have already sent it this time, and President Maruzen has received it and agreed to it.

"Next time you make an appointment to study or something, let me and Sister Kyoko teach you how to respond properly."

And on the other side.

【Kitahara: OK (read)

Shan: OK, I’ll come find you tomorrow ^_^ (read)]

"Okay, then tomorrow I will..."

Just as he happily stretched the screen of his mobile phone behind him and turned his head, Maruzenski was stunned.

Behind her, several horse racing girls were covering their faces, unable to bear to watch.

“What… happened…?”

Maruzenski muttered a little embarrassedly, "Is there any problem...?"
