Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 346 I tried to make your breakfast
After finding the little bay and Aldan, and taking them and Oguruma back to Kasamatsu by car, it was already very late.

Although Oguruma's mother, White Jewel, was a little surprised by this visit, she quickly cleaned up the room. After moving, the apartment here was quite large.

During the post-race rest period, the three horse girls did not go to bed early. After taking a shower, they wiped their wet long hair, laughed for a while, and casually retreated into a bedroom, saying that they wanted to video chat with Tamamo Cross and Inari.

Kitahara said good night to them and Bai Baozhu, then went to his bedroom.

I called Maruzenski first.

Although the horse racing girl said in the text message that nothing was wrong, we still need to show some concern.

The call was not answered.

Soon I received a message.

【good:

Sorry, I'm playing with Luduo and the others right now.
I'll come find you tomorrow~ (read)]

Although he couldn't see the expression on Uma Musume's face, Kitahara inexplicably felt a sense of lightness and playfulness in the content of the text message.

This is also the impression that Maruzenski always gives people on a daily basis. Now, Kitahara finally feels relieved.

Perhaps it was the first time that they tried such a date. At the hasty end, they ran a long distance in one breath. After turning off their phone, fatigue surged into their body like a tide. Kitahara rubbed his eyes, turned off the lights in the room, and lay down on the bed in the dark.

I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.

When I was about to fall asleep, I vaguely felt that something was missing.

But he didn't have the energy to think deeply, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, he woke up later than usual, washed up in the bathroom in his room, changed into yesterday's clothes, and walked out of the room yawning.

Breakfast should be ready, as there is a faint aroma wafting outside.

Following the scent, I walked to the dining room and found that Oguruma and the others were already sitting around the dining table enjoying breakfast.

White Jewel was not at the dining table, but was going in and out of the kitchen, busy serving breakfast.

There is no need to mention Oguruma's appetite. He eats a lot even in the morning.

Xiao Haiwan and Aldan also have big appetites now. The dining table in front of them and Xiao Limao is already piled with many empty plates and those full of food.

What surprised Kitahara was that Maruzenski was also there.

I don't know when this horse racing girl came over, but now she is chatting and laughing, busying around with White Jewel.

"Ah, Mr. Kitahara."

Coming out of the kitchen again, Bai Baozhi saw Beiyuan and hurriedly greeted him, "Come and have breakfast, your portion has been prepared long ago."

As he said this, he turned into the kitchen, and when he came out, Bai Baozhi had already brought out a plate of Japanese breakfast.

Rice, miso soup, a small dish of pickles, and a whole saury.

"Come and sit down." Putting the breakfast next to Little Chestnut Hat, White Pearl urged again.

"Thank you very much. You're welcome then."

It was not the first time for Kitahara to have dinner at Oguruma's house, so he thanked them politely and walked towards the dining table.

During this time, she did not forget to greet Maruzenski, or to be more precise, it was the horse racing girl who greeted him first.

"Morning, Kitahara."

"Good morning, Maruzen," Kitahara responded to the greeting and hesitated, "Um..."

Maruzenski laughed before he could finish, "It's about what happened last night, right?"

Then he scratched his cheek and said, "I'm still really embarrassed for running away like that last night...

"But don't worry, I'm fine.

"I tried to make this for your breakfast, but I don't have much experience, so I don't know how it works."

There was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes, but she still smiled, "After you try it, remember to give me a review.

"I'll accept any comments, yes."

Just after sitting down, Beiyuan was a little stunned when he heard such words.

Subconsciously looking at her breakfast, she realized that although it was the same dish that Bai Baozhi had made before, the rice, miso soup, and pickles looked no different, but the edges of the saury were obviously burnt.

If it was made with white sapphire, it would definitely not be burnt. This mother's cooking skills are quite good, especially when it comes to making Japanese home-cooked dishes like this.

And if Maruzenski were to do it, it seems possible to grill saury like this.

This somewhat raises doubts about her cooking skills.

But my impression is that before coming to Japan, this horse girl was probably living the life of a lady in a big family like Yuzu or Mejiro.

After coming to Japan, I basically ate in the college cafeteria.

It seems that she has no cooking experience, so her cooking skills are not outstanding.

But in this case, if you don’t have any cooking skills, the grilled saury will just look a little burnt.

As long as the taste is good, maybe you can even say that he is a culinary genius.

Thinking of this, Kitahara nodded gratefully to Maruzen, "Is that so... Thank you very much for your help, Maruzen."

Then he looked at the breakfast in front of him, clasped his hands together, and said, "I'm starting."

We soon discovered that the saury was surprisingly good.

Apart from the burnt and bitter edges, the fish skin is still crispy and the fish meat is tender, and the seasoning is just right, with the right amount of saltiness.

"Well, very good, very good. I mean, your cooking skills, Maruzen." Kitahara couldn't help but nodded greatly.

"Really? That's great!"

Maruzenski's eyes lit up, but he turned around and bowed to the White Jewel, "Thank you very much, Ms. White Jewel. If it weren't for your guidance and your familiarity with Kitahara's taste, I really don't know what kind of breakfast I would make!"

When Kitahara was still a trainer in Kasamatsu, he often went to Oguruma's former rented house to eat with Shin Shinki or alone.

Later, even after he moved to Tokyo, he would come back to Kasamatsu from time to time on weekends and holidays, and come to Oguruma's new home.

Over time, Bai Baozhi naturally knew Beiyuan's daily taste habits.

"...Ah, I didn't actually teach you anything. I should say that President Maruzen, you have a great talent for cooking."

When saying this, the mother glanced at Kitahara who was eating, then looked at Maruzenski and smiled imperceptibly.

"And if we're going to say thank you, I should be the one to thank you.

"If it weren't for your help, I would probably have to spend dozens of minutes more to prepare breakfast for Xiaolili and the others."

She stroked the side of her face with her hand, looking embarrassed.

Maruzenski didn't notice the look in Bai Baozhu's eyes at all. She was just immersed in Kitahara's praise.

Very good! This is the first step that Gao Feng and the others mentioned. If you want to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach!

It seems that I still have a talent for this.
Hehe ~
Last night outside the "Wednesday Uma Musume" store, in addition to the declaration of war, Maruzenski also stayed in a nearby hotel with her besties and talked a lot.

The topic was of course about Kitahara. She had nothing to hide and spoke her mind directly.

“If I say I like it, I definitely like it.

“I rather like it more.

“In the past, I liked the way he wanted to do something for us, even at the cost of a lot.

"Now, I hope he can do something not only for us, but also for me.

“This is probably what you call possessiveness.

“It’s good.” I mean, it feels good.

"But if it comes to confessing my feelings and establishing a relationship, I... I don't think I'm ready yet, and he probably isn't either.

“For example, tonight, it must have been a misunderstanding, but I panicked like that, which was really... so immature.

“I shouldn’t be that kind of horse girl in his eyes.

"I don't know if it will happen again in the future, anyway, it's better not to scare him before I can confirm it.

"So, in this situation, what do you think... should I do?"

In Maruzenski’s narration last night, “he” naturally refers to Kitahara.

In response to her statement, Luduo and other friends obviously seemed to have something to say, but they were stopped by Mejiro Gaofeng.

"I think it's better for us not to say too much now, and let Maruzen do something about it first. This may be a better choice."

After stopping the situation, she did not leave Maruzen to fight alone, but gave him some advice.

"Don't worry, I just said that because I thought you had made your feelings clear, and Kitahara didn't mind the whole date...it was more like he seemed to enjoy it.

“That’s a great start.

"So from now on, just do things according to your feelings. At worst, just keep it pretty much the same as before. If you have any questions, feel free to tell us. We will always keep an eye on you two.

“As for what to do specifically…

“Let’s cook.

“A man wouldn’t have the heart to reject a horse girl who cooks for him.

“Especially in Japan, unlike in the UK, cooking is a must in a relationship or even a marriage.

“For example, the Mejiro family does this. They conduct a series of bride training before marriage. This is a rule that has been passed down since the establishment of the Mejiro family.

"So, Maruzen, you shouldn't have forgotten all of the home economics lessons you took in school, right?"

Maruzenski certainly hadn't completely forgotten about home economics classes.

But there is not much I can remember.

After all, she was born in Britain, and the cooking, cooking, washing clothes, sewing, cleaning, etc. in the home economics classes in Japan were too unfamiliar to her, and her grades in the home economics class were barely passing.

Only with the help of seniors like Lu Cao or juniors like Gui Haisek can one barely pass.

This was naturally very troubling, and she immediately asked Mejiro Takamine what to do.

“It’s definitely not possible to start from scratch right now, and… oh, right.

"Gongluduo received a message from Kitahara, saying that he took Oguruma and the others to Kasamatsu and stayed at Oguruma's home.

“You should visit there early tomorrow morning.

"If I'm not mistaken, Oguruma's mother should have prepared breakfast very early, and she should also be familiar with what Kitahara likes to eat outside of school.

“Go and ask for advice.

"Try to make a breakfast for Kitahara, even if it's just one dish."

So, we set out early this morning, visited, asked questions, and tried to make breakfast.

After finishing it, I waited anxiously for a long time, not knowing how Kitahara would comment.

Maruzenski was so overjoyed at the unexpected praise that he was stunned for a moment.

It was not until Bai Baozhi urged her several times that it was time for breakfast that she reacted and quickly sat down at the dining table as if nothing had happened.

Naturally, I sat next to Kitahara.

Oguruma and the others had already been eating breakfast for quite a while. White Jewel didn't eat much, so after they finished eating, Kitahara and Maruzenski were still at the table.

Kitahara drank the miso soup slowly. He was used to eating rice and soup separately.

Maruzenski simply continued to sit there, holding a cup of coffee milk and sipping it slowly.

In the past, she preferred to get up early and drink it all in one gulp.

While slowly drinking her coffee and milk, she was thinking about what to talk about with Kitahara.

Just now during dinner, Ogurumao, Xiaohaiwan and Aldan were chatting happily. They were all telling White Jewel about interesting things in school, or competitions and training, and she, like Kitahara, just smiled and agreed with them, thinking about talking to Kitahara alone later.

But now that she was really alone, she couldn't think of anything to talk about.

Then I felt that simply sitting together to eat breakfast, not thinking about anything and not talking about anything, seemed quite happy.

So, the bride training that Gaofeng mentioned... was just for the current situation...?
Her cheeks couldn't help but feel hot, so she quickly pretended to pick up the teacup and rubbed her cheeks with the back of her hand.

The ringing of a cell phone diverted her attention.

She subconsciously checked her pocket and found that the call was not from her cell phone, so she looked at Kitahara.

"Hello? Good morning, Komiya-san... Oops..."

After answering the phone and saying hello, Beiyuan suddenly realized what he had forgotten last night.

He forgot to "report" the results of the date to Katsumi Komiyama and Kyoko Miyamura.

This is what the two women repeatedly reminded him before he set off.

According to Komiyayama’s original words: “Brother, you are such a blockhead that it is easy for you to offend President Maruzen, especially in such an important occasion as a date.

“So be sure to find an opportunity to ask us questions when you have them, and review them with us after the date!

"Yes, replay!
“It’s just like a review of a game!”

In Kitahara's opinion, the date should have been problem-free overall. The only problem seemed to be the incident at the end in the restaurant when Maruzenski suddenly ran away.

But judging from the content of the mobile phone messages from last night to today, and the state of the horse girl sitting quietly next to him, there seems to be no problem.

That seems like...

Don’t worry too much about not reviewing the game in time…?
Thinking of this, Kitahara couldn't help but want to fool around. After all, he had promised Komiyama and Kyoko before he set out. If he didn't fool around now, he might be scolded.

More importantly, Maruzenski was right next to them, and it would be embarrassing if she heard anything.

However, what Kitahara did not expect was that Komiya spoke rapidly before he could finish.

"Oh no? Brother, you thought of that too."

After a pause, the voice on the other end of the phone hesitated when speaking again, "Kyoko, Taro and I feel that the data analysis of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation may not be in-depth enough, and we are a little unsure whether we should tell you...

"But if you've thought about it, it seems better to tell you directly."

There was another pause on the other end of the phone.

On this side, Kitahara frowned unconsciously.

Maruzenski, who was standing by, also vaguely heard what Komiyama said and looked over immediately.

It was obvious that what was said on the phone did not sound like good news.

"Huh... Judging from the results of the current physical examination and the comparison of previous data, Oguruma, Kobayashi, and Aldan will need to recuperate for a period longer than originally planned for the chrysanthemum viewing. At least... it will take more than 45 days.

"Otherwise, they are likely to have some physical problems.

“It’s not just these three, the 24 horse girls participating in the Chrysanthemum Sho are all like this. The various clashes between Oguruma and the other three have made this competition more intense than most of the previous classic year events.

"so……"

There was another pause on the phone.

"So the three of them won't be able to participate in the Japan Cup in a month."
