Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 360: The plump Beihei wants to lose weight?

Beiyuan, who used to work in horse racing, could not have been unaware of the name of Northern Black Horse.

He had 20 wins in 12 career starts, 7 G1 wins, was the representative horse of the year, and was a Hall of Fame horse. Before retiring, he broke the 18-year record held by Good Opera with a total bounty of more than 7600 billion. He can be said to be a famous horse standing at the top of all Japanese horse racing.

Kitahara is also very familiar with the northern black horse of the horse girl.

Putting aside the third season of the Umamusume anime, the Northern Black Horse in the mobile game is quite outstanding both in terms of character and support card.

Especially the support cards, which have been at the "human rights card" level for more than a year since the server was launched. They are very beneficial to the gaming experience. Basically all players will not miss them. Even if they don't draw them, they will borrow one.

However, the northern black horse in the photo taken by Kenpei Noguchi on his mobile phone looked a little too young.

This horse girl in the anime mobile game appears at her debut age and elementary school age. She was 1 meters tall at her debut age and 62 meters tall at her elementary school age, which is relatively tall among horse girls.

The one in the photo is obviously only kindergarten age.

Due to the existence of the nature, horse girls develop differently from humans, and their ages cannot be completely equated with humans.

So judging from the appearance, this little Beihei seems to be only four or five years old, and looks even younger than the Golden Master, Golden Ship and the others.

This was one of the reasons why Kitahara didn't recognize him right away.

Another reason is that this little northern black cat is too fat.

Her round and smooth face looks big. Although she is close to the camera, it takes up most of the photo, which shows that she is still quite fat.

This did not surprise Kitahara too much. After all, Kitahei was indeed a very famous "heavy tank".

Generally speaking, it is better for racehorses to keep their weight below half a ton, as lighter weight allows them to maintain higher speeds.

There are heavier racehorses, for example, when Chestnut was in service, his weight was almost half a ton.

However, Kita no Genju's weight once reached 540 kg during his service, and he even won against Arima Kinen at this weight, becoming the heaviest horse to win this G1.

So, the reason why Xiao Beihei is so fat right now is because of this...

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Northern Black Pony in the photo, Kitahara felt a little amused for a moment.

No sound was made for a moment.

This made Kenpei Noguchi, who had been expecting something, a little nervous.

As a professional and top musician, he is well aware that everyone has his or her own expertise.

He is also a loyal fan of Uma Musume. Although he himself does not have a child who has the hope of becoming an outstanding Uma Musume, he very much hopes that his friend's child will have outstanding results in the future.

Moreover, after the concert, when he talked about Northern Black Colt and Kitahara with his good friend Saburo Kitajima, he had mentioned a little impulsively that he would definitely find a way to make the trainer agree to give Northern Black Colt serious consideration.

At the very least, they could agree to take a look at the child's talent, give some evaluation, or the future development direction.

But Kitahara didn't say anything at this time, and Noguchi Kenpei suddenly thought that he had some bad opinion about Northern Xuanju.

For example, being too fat.

Kenpei Noguchi suddenly felt embarrassed.

He often visited Kitajima Saburo's house, or when he came to visit him, he knew more or less about Xiao Beihei's situation.

This child is indeed a big eater. Her normal appetite doesn't seem like that of an ordinary young horse racing girl. It's almost the same as that of an elementary school student.

Kitajima Saburo loved the child very much and always spoiled him. He would ask the chef to cook whatever the child wanted to eat or send someone to buy it for him.

No other family members are allowed to preach or stop.

This makes the gluttonous Xiao Beihei much fatter and heavier than other horse girls of the same age.

So, Mr. Kitahara is worried that with this weight, he won't be able to perform well in competitions in the future? Or even...

Unable to debut as a Umamusume…?
He couldn't help but feel worried and Kenhei Noguchi couldn't help but speak.

"It seems that Mr. Kitahara knows something about my old friend, and also knows this kid called Kitahei."

Thinking of how Kitahara seemed to have recognized Northern Xuanju very quickly, Noguchi Kenpei decided to extend the topic, "Could it be that he noticed him while searching for talented people?"

When he asked this, it was actually somewhat tentative.

As Kitahara became more and more famous, he heard more and more words like this, and it was easy for him to understand what Noguchi Kenpei meant.

Many elders hope that their children can receive training from them, or at least get some evaluation.

Such inquiries are sometimes direct and sometimes euphemistic. Noguchi Kenpei's is relatively euphemistic, and its meaning is not so obscure.

Beiyuan is naturally very familiar with this kind of communication.

"You can say that."

Beiyuan did not deny it. After all, he had indeed noticed a famous horse girl like Northern Xuanju when he was checking and sorting the database of Tresen Academy.

"Then, in your opinion, as a top trainer, what do you think of this kid's talent?"

After receiving the affirmation, Noguchi Kenpei was cheered up, but his words became more cautious, "Of course, it may be difficult for you to judge the talent of a horse girl through a photo.

"Especially this kid...haha, he is getting stronger."

He used a euphemism to describe the current size of the little Beihei.

"So, how about you just give me a brief evaluation based on what you know from your previous search and your professional level?"

Kitahara could tell there was a hint of praise in these words.

It is still a delight to receive praise from a well-known Japanese figure.

However, Kitahara was a person who didn't care much about his reputation, and he also understood that there was a certain etiquette in Noguchi Kenpei's praise.

More importantly, he realized that his silence just now and the fact that no one knew the future of Northern Xuanju might have caused the other party to misunderstand.

"As for my evaluation, I think I'll have to see it first before I can say anything."

He did not give a direct affirmative evaluation, “But from my training experience, the child’s current body shape shows that she eats very well.

"And I always pay attention to diet, so her physical foundation should be very good."

If it was earlier, for example, when he had just coached Oguruma, he would probably have directly said that Kitagawa Genju would definitely be outstanding in the future.

It's not like he hasn't said this before. For example, when he saw Oguruma, Tamamo Cross, or the still young Te Kei Zhou and Good Opera, he said similar things.

As his racehorse ladies are all growing up, he, as a trainer, certainly cannot stand still.

It is not difficult for him to evaluate a Uma Girl based on his foresight, and he can do it quite accurately.

Such evaluations can also give these children confidence. After all, no matter how competitive and strong a horse girl is, she will be very happy to receive encouragement and recognition.

But encouragement and recognition alone does not mean it is a good thing.

It takes time for horse racing girls to grow, and it also takes time for encouragement and recognition to truly turn into results.

Giving too high an evaluation too early can easily turn into a kind of pressure or even an obstacle in such a long time, making them bear too much at an age when they should not bear too much expectations. More importantly, Kitahara is very clear that he does not have the extra time and energy to specifically guide a new horse girl, so he can't say too much.

Otherwise, the praise from bears without any corresponding action is just empty words.

"Is this so..."

Noguchi Kenpei was also a sociable person and he immediately recognized Kitahara's conservative attitude.

It can also be roughly felt that this excellent trainer may recognize the Northern Black Horse in his attitude, but with the same attitude, he will not consider directly coaching it now.

But this kind of evaluation alone is enough, especially since the other party just said, "Let's talk about it after we meet."

"I wonder if it would be convenient for me to arrange a meeting between Mr. Kitahara, my old friend, and this child."

Noguchi Kenpei suggested: "I know that Mr. Kitahara is probably very busy now and it is difficult for him to spare time, so if possible, the time and place can be arranged by Mr. Kitahara."

This kind of request does not involve any specific instructions, so Kitahara naturally has no problem with it.

Moreover, an outstanding horse girl like Kitamoto Xuanju will sooner or later come to the fore in the competition, so there is nothing wrong in meeting her now.

Especially knowing the regrets of Oguruma and the others in another world, he was still a little worried. If the timeline was wrong, it would be a pity if Northern Xuanju didn't make a debut here.

And privately, Kitahara also had a playful feeling.

He still wanted to see with his own eyes what the plump and chubby little Beihei looked like at this moment.

Especially that chubby little face, which looks so easy to pinch.

It should feel good if you pinch it.

After thinking about it playfully for a moment, Beiyuan agreed in an instant.

"If we meet, there's no problem, but we have to wait until after the Japan Cup and the Summit Cup."

After nodding, Kitahara thought for a moment and said, "Also, please tell me, Mr. Noguchi, that I would like to know about the current diet of Northern Xuanju. It would be best if I could get some reports on his physical data."

Xiao Xiao Bei Hei looks a little fat now, but her physique is actually very special, and this physique is very similar to that of Xiao Li Mao.

That is, even though you are very heavy, you don’t look fat no matter how much you eat.

Not only is he not fat, he also looks very slim, but he is very big and his forearm muscles are quite obvious.

These are reflected in the horse girl. The Northern Black Horse looks of medium build and a little above average height, but has an extremely rare strong physique and strength.

For example, after packing all the luggage for school, you can lift them all up with just the tail.

In a sense, Oguruma's special physique is very important to the Eternal Club and even all the horse girls. The special digestive enzyme in her body can be said to be the key to the major Tresen colleges promoting better quality diets.

Perhaps, Northern Black Horse also has such significance in contributing to the development of the entire horse racing girl world.

Even if you don’t, it doesn’t matter.

In terms of prototype horses, the Northern Black Horse has a very special situation.

The Northern Black Colt's bloodline does not contain parents with outstanding performance, nor does it have any excellent middle and long distance genes.

However, with such physical fitness, he won the top middle and long distance awards such as the Half Cup, Japan Cup, Emperor's Autumn Viewing, Chrysanthemum Viewing, Emperor's Spring Viewing and Arima Kinen.

This is because during the training before debut, the trainer conducted the rather infamous “Sakamichi Sanben” training.

That is, a single set of training completes three 3-meter slopes, and the slope drop is an extremely exaggerated 1000 meters.

Almost all racehorses can only undergo one set of these trainings at a time.

Trainer Hisahi Shimizu has arranged three groups for Northern Black Horse.

Not only did he train like this before his debut, he also trained like this again before his retirement battle at the Arima Kinen.

It can be said that only the extraordinary physique of the Northern Black Horse can withstand this kind of training.

As for Uma Musume, Kitahara has no intention of adopting this kind of training at all.

Even in the original work, this training was basically replicated.

Kitahara vaguely felt that perhaps the current size of the Northern Black Horse might be the key to the rigorous training in the parallel dimension.

Xiao Xiao Beihei's current body size is obviously not suitable for race walking competitions, so it is easy for his trainer to think of helping him lose weight.

But considering the general level of trainers in Japan now, Kitahara can guarantee that it will definitely be similar to the training of Sakamichi Sanbon.

In fact, if your purpose is to adjust your body shape, you don’t need to lose weight or anything like that.

Especially the physique of the Northern Black Horse itself.

So, after understanding Xiao Xiao Beihei's diet structure and physical data and confirming some specific situations, Kitahara is very confident that even if he does not give direct guidance, giving some advice on diet and fitness will be enough to lay a good foundation for this extremely talented horse girl.

Perhaps those present here, including Maruzenski, Representative Chiaki, and Narita Shirahito, could guess what Kitahara was thinking.

Kenpei Noguchi understood the meaning completely literally.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Kitahara."

He suddenly looked overjoyed and took the initiative to reach out his hand and shook hands with Beiyuan tightly. "Then I will wait for your good news and tell my old friend about this good news."

After expressing his gratitude again, he turned to look at Maruzenski and Representative Chiaki.

"Then, the next thing..."

Hearing this, Kitahara was stunned before the two horse girls said anything.

He originally thought that Noguchi Kenpei came to visit specially just for the matter of Northern Xuanju.

Now, the topic just now is just one of them?

Soon, he understood what Noguchi Kenpei's real intention was.

It turns out that the last time he came to this restaurant, when he was "writing songs", this top musician "happened" to be there too.

Not only that, but they also praised the song "Rage Your Dream" that he "wrote".

Then they mentioned topics like the Japanese song market, Italian style, new creative ideas, etc. Kitahara was not a professional and didn't quite understand them.

But the core meaning is clear, that is, the musician hopes to obtain the authorization of "Rage Your Dream" for research, promotion, and even sales.

But in the view of Kenpei Noguchi, Maruzen, Chiaki and others, since this song was written by Kitahara, the copyright should be in Kitahara's hands, so no matter what the subsequent arrangements are, they must be authorized by him.

Authorization...

Mainly because I copied it...

Besides, I wrote this song with the intention of...

After understanding what Kenpei Noguchi meant, Kitahara didn't think too much about it. After hesitating for a moment, he subconsciously looked at Maruzenski.
