Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 371 We will meet on the field
As soon as Maruzenski finished speaking, Yongwu and Seattle Roundabout looked at each other in surprise.

Kitahara was also very surprised. He knew that horse girls also had an aggressive side, and he also knew that in competitions, the seemingly gentle horse girls would become more aggressive than usual.

But this is not a competition, and Maruzenski has never acted in such an aggressive style.

Not only is she not aggressive, this horse racing girl is also famously gentle. She can have a good conversation with anyone, and the horse racing girls inside and outside the school are all happy to be close to her.

So, in surprise and confusion, Kitahara couldn't help but raise his hand.

"Maruzen, that..."

He wanted to remind or cover up for Maruzen, but the horse girl spoke first.

"Well, you're scared, right?"

The sharp look that flashed in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and Maruzenski's face returned to his usual gentle smile.

"It just suddenly occurred to me that I might have to come back to compete soon, so I wanted to find some momentum."

With a smile, she spoke in a relaxed tone, as if what she said just now was really just a casual joke, "If I scared you, then, what should I say...

"Sorry, hehe."

After laughing for a while, facing the more puzzled looks from Kitahara and the other two horse girls, Maruzenski continued with a smile: "Of course what I just said was not a lie.

“I mean, Kitahara isn’t here to pry for information, and neither am I.

"So, you don't have to be too nervous."

Even with all the jokes and explanations, Maruzenski looked calm on the surface, but he felt a little guilty deep down.

She was aware that she had suddenly become aggressive.

The reason for that was that she felt a bit of aggression from Yongwu and Seattle Slalom.

Maybe it didn't mean that, but she felt that way.

So I felt a little unhappy and angry all of a sudden.

Without thinking too much, I refuted it immediately.

However, as she explained, she did not think she was lying.

The reason she came to the Tokyo competition this time was because she wanted to be with Kitahara just like they did when they played mobile games together before.

When discussing with Luduo and the others before, all the horse girls agreed that if they wanted to spend more time with Kitahara and cultivate feelings, it would be best to start with the horse girls.

It's not about Maruzenski himself, this is the next step.

But it is well known that Kitahara's mind is on Uma Musume's competitions and training, and he cares a lot about Uma Musume.

This concern is not directed at one or some horse racing girls, but at the entire horse racing girl group.

So following this line of thought, play the increasingly popular Uma Musume mobile game with him, and go to places like the racetrack together. It might be easier to develop feelings than a regular date.

Maruzenski feels that this dating idea is quite targeted and effective.

At least when playing mobile games together, she felt that she and Kitahara did seem to be a little closer.

So, coming to the Tokyo competition venue was a date she had planned for a long time, and it had nothing to do with finding out information about the competition.

Although she didn't look panicked when she explained it just now, she was still a little nervous in her heart. She was afraid that something would be discovered, so she didn't explain it too clearly.

Now that she felt more relaxed, she continued with a relaxed look.

"What level of trainer is Kitahara? I think since you guys are preparing to this extent for the Japan Cup, you should have enough understanding of him."

Maruzenski calmly observed the changes in Yongwu and Seattle's expressions. Seeing them looking at each other vaguely, he felt slightly happy.

No matter what, she was very happy that someone recognized Kitahara's abilities.

Then she continued, “So, in terms of ability, he doesn’t need to go out of his way to find out about his opponent.

"In terms of pre-match preparation, he has never done this before.

"On the contrary, many opponents want to know what tactics he will arrange in the next game and what kind of training he has been doing.

"More importantly, for Tama and Inari, who will be participating in the Japan Cup this time, a considerable part of their preparation arrangements have been handed over to their trainers.

“Kitahara actually won’t be as responsible as before.

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time to play this kind of 'detective game' with me."

Yongwu and Seattle Spin were not very convinced by Maruzenski's previous explanation. After all, a trainer coming to the opponent's training ground did not look like he was just here to stroll around.

However, the fact that the Japan Cup does not have to deal with so many things this time and that there is time to come to the Tokyo stadium still made the two horse racing girls hesitate.

As Maruzen said, they also spent a lot of time investigating and analyzing Kitahara, and they knew very well that this trainer had never done any covert investigation or analysis before.

There may be some suspicions that have not been thoroughly investigated. As overseas guests, many things are not easy to investigate clearly.

But if there was any secret investigation in that Ye Sen exchange competition and the educational competition in the United States, they would have discovered it long ago.

In fact, Kitahara did not conduct any investigation.

And here we can find a very surprising situation.

That is, judging from the games and training sessions that Kitahara has coached, his understanding of all his opponents seems to be at a very high level.

It can even be said to be extremely high, so high that even the rival horse racing girls and their trainers may not understand him as well as Kitahara.

For example, in the exchange competition and education competition, Kitahara completed the adaptive training of Oguruma and the others in a very short time without any investigation, and gave very accurate preparation ideas. The final competition results also proved that all these arrangements were extremely reasonable.

Therefore, without knowing what level of "plug-in" Kitahara had, Yongwu and Seattle attributed it all to the talent and ability of this trainer.

With such extraordinary abilities, it seems that there is really no need to observe anything secretly.

"...'Detective Game'? You two are really interested."

After exchanging a glance with Seattle, Yongwu thought for a moment and secretly decided to believe Maruzenski's words first, "Then I wonder if the two of you have any other interests.

"For example, how about giving some advice to our horse girl?"

Yongwu: This was actually just a casual remark.

It has been a while since she came to Japan. Although she stayed in the hospital most of the time, she also communicated a lot with Japanese personnel and Uma Musume.

So she was somewhat aware of the so-called polite words in the local culture.

It is also clear that if one really wants to invite or request something, clear modifiers will generally be added, such as a specific time and place when inviting.

But just after she finished speaking, she saw Kitahara was stunned for a moment and then showed a serious expression, then pinched his chin and looked towards the runway.

This surprised Yongwu. She felt that the other party seemed to really want to give her some advice.

Not only her, Seattle Roundabout also noticed the change in Kitahara's expression, and couldn't help but look forward to it like Yongwu.

They are well aware of Kitahara's abilities, otherwise they would not take the preparations for the Japan Cup so seriously.

If you can get guidance from this kind of trainer, the effect will definitely be no less than a series of targeted special training. Kitahara actually wanted to say something.

The long-term contact training was like a knee-jerk reflex. When he found himself being asked about the situation of the horse girl, he couldn't help but say something.

However, just as he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a slight pain on the back of his thigh. He shuddered and forgot what to say. He subconsciously looked to his side.

The person standing next to him was naturally Maruzenski, and judging from the pain in her thigh, it was probably the horse racing girl who pinched herself secretly.

When he looked over, Kitahara happened to see Maruzen calmly putting his hands behind his back and smoothing the hem of his windbreaker as if he was straightening out wrinkles.

"Well, you two are both experienced and legendary horse girls, and we have many outstanding trainers here as well."

Pretending nothing had happened and not looking at Kitahara, Maruzenski smiled and said, "Besides, Kitahara still doesn't know much about the training habits of Europe and America.

"So for the training here, I think we won't find it ugly."

When he said this, Maruzenski didn't even blush.

Kitahara couldn't help but rub his itchy nose.

It's not like he's unfamiliar with European and American training habits.

Perhaps he is not so familiar with the actual training situation in the current timeline, but when he was the chairman of the racing club, he went to Europe and the United States for study. In this timeline, he also spent a lot of time studying the training methods and competition habits there.

But after Maruzen's obvious reminder, he also realized that his "old problem" seemed to have come back again. Whenever he encountered something related to Uma Musume, he could not control himself, no matter what the specific situation was.

So, he couldn't help but endure the embarrassment and began to pretend that nothing had happened.

Faced with such a reaction, Yongwu and Seattle Spin also understood that perhaps Kitahara had something to say, but Maruzenski did not have such an idea.

"That's it..."

It was Yongwu who spoke up again. She smiled nonchalantly and changed the subject naturally, "Then let's not talk about the juniors' affairs.

"or……

"Can we talk about our business?"

When she said this, the horse girl's eyes revealed an uncontrollable yearning and regret.

Previously, Maruzenski and Kitahara were able to gloss over the training involving the Japan Cup.

But what Yongwu is talking about now is obviously the peak cup after the Japan Cup.

Having stayed in Nagoya for a long time recently, Maruzen and Kitahara are not unaware of the progress of the Summit Cup.

In particular, after Representative Chiaki brought Narita Shirahito to Nagoya, many relevant arrangements were discussed one by one.

Recently, just before returning to Tokyo this time, Qianming happened to discuss the event arrangements for the Peak Cup.

"Our business... the Peak Cup."

After thinking for a while, he looked at Kitahara and found that he was also looking at him. Maruzenski smiled unconsciously and turned to look back at Yongwu.

"From the looks of it now, it looks like President Yongwu still won't be able to participate in the competition."

"Well, although it's a pity, my physical condition does not allow me to participate in any competitions, and even normal training is not allowed."

There was a stronger regret in his eyes, but Yong Wu cheered up and said, "However, your medical team and ours have jointly worked out a treatment plan for me, and the first stage of surgery has also been confirmed.

“It was right after this Japan Cup event.

"If we're lucky, we can probably complete the first surgery by the end of the year, and then we can make it to the Arima Kinen."

As she spoke, she became more and more excited. "With better luck, maybe next year I'll have the chance to step onto a competition like this again."

With a little trembling, she pointed to the runway not far away.

As the vice president of the student union of Japan Central Tresin College, Maruzenski naturally stood on the opposite side of Yongwu in the confrontation and negotiation of the competition.

You can say what you should say, and never say what you shouldn't say. You also have to "supervise" Kitahara to prevent him from accidentally letting something slip.

However, as a fellow horse girl, and an outstanding one at that, Maruzenski is well aware of Yongwu's current mood.

Even her regret of not being able to compete in the Classic Triple Crown is actually not comparable to the regret of Dancing with the Brave.

If this horse girl had no injuries, she would undoubtedly be the most powerful one at the moment, even in the whole world.

It can be said that her finishing performance in the world-class race such as the Arc de Triomphe was beyond the reach of all other horse racing girls.

After Maruzenski had been in contact with the opponent for a long time, he would simulate it from time to time in his mind or with the help of the equipment of the Eternal Club.

The content of the simulation is naturally Yongwu's viewing of the Arc de Triomphe.

Regardless of whether it was a simulation in her mind or a simulation with data, the conclusion was that she could hardly run a comparable last-minute run, and her chances of winning were the lowest among all the simulations she had done.

Having such strength, she had to retire due to injury. This is a regret that other horse girls find difficult to empathize with.

Especially the opponent's Arc de Triomphe championship, which was actually just two years ago.

In other words, the opponent retired almost at the peak of his career, and the injury was a terminal illness, which exacerbated the regret.

However, there is now hope for treatment, and there will be hope within a year. This feeling of regaining what was lost is so exciting that it would be hard for anyone to contain their excitement.

"Congratulations, President Yongwu."

Maruzenski said sincerely: “I believe that it won’t be too long, maybe in a year, before we can meet on the field.

"When the time comes, I believe I will be able to experience your ultimate footwork that will leave all the horse racing girls in the world far behind."

"Then... by the way, let me borrow your words. This is what they say in Japan, right?"

With a smile, the excitement on Yongwu's face gradually faded, and he regained some fighting spirit, "It sounds like President Maruzen can't wait to participate in this Peak Cup?

"However, the arrangement of the Peak Cup this time is temporarily based on a lottery format. Does the Japanese side have any proposal to determine the players?"

After consultation between the URA Association of Japan and the overseas guests participating in the Japan Cup, the current idea is to use this experimental Peak Cup as a "show match" after the Japan Cup.

As Yongwu said, the contestants of the "Peak Show" will be selected by drawing lots.

The drawees are the players participating in the Japan Cup, so the two games will have a very hotly discussed linkage.

In this way, the results of the Japan Cup player draw for each party are uncertain, and Yongwu is a little confused about where Maruzenski's confidence comes from.

"As for the proposal, there are no changes. At least that's the information I got."

Smiling, with confidence flashing in his eyes, Maruzenski looked straight at Yongwu and then at Seattle Spin.

"But...

“No matter who you end up drawing.

“I had a hunch.

"I will definitely play in this competition."
