Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 407 Maruzen Secretary
Kitahara thought about Kurokawa Masato's kindness and did not accept it.

It’s not that I think it’s too much trouble for the other party.

In many previous competitions, I met Kurokawa Masato and went to the stadium to watch the games together, and I also asked him to help arrange some security personnel.

But due to recent engineering matters, the staff at Tresen College seems to be a little insufficient.

For example, when the riots occurred before, the school guards were basically at the construction site, so it took some time to deal with the riots.

Then perhaps the academy needs more help than we do.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Kurokawa, but after thinking about it, it would be best if I could provide some manpower to the academy."

After thinking about it, Kitahara shook his head and said, “At the moment, it will take some time to deal with those bad reporters.

“Even if the academy temporarily hires some guards, it will take time.

“Then before that, if Brother Kurokawa has enough manpower and resources, it would be better to give priority to the safety of the academy.

"As for me..."

Kitahara paused, "I'll find a way."

"Is this so..."

Kurokawa Masato also thought for a moment, then showed an embarrassment, "Indeed, I am also considering providing some assistance to Tresen College.

“And if nothing unexpected happens, I think after Chairman Akikawa finishes his work on the project, he will work with the board of directors and the URA Association to seek assistance from all supporters.

"But if that happens, not only will the manpower I can provide be limited, I also think it's unlikely that the academy will transfer all the guards to you, Kitahara.

"Although I believe in your ability, you may need to pay more attention to this matter."

"Don't worry, I've encountered this kind of thing before, and I have enough experience."

Kitahara smiled and said, “I was indeed surprised by this riot.

“But if it’s just a few reporters, I can still handle it.

"and……"

After thinking for a while, he added: "If there is really some chaos at Central Tresen College recently, I can apply to lead the team to Zhongshan Stadium for training."

If it were limited to the safety of the college, there would actually not be so much need to worry.

Even the bad journalists who caused the unrest before will be much more well-behaved due to the joint management of the college board, associations and media organizations.

But not all of those journalists have obtained their licenses through formal channels. Many of them just call themselves journalists, and such people don't care about any codes or regulations at all.

For example, in the film and entertainment industry, this type of "reporter" has long caused a lot of trouble for many artists.

Many lawmakers even proposed motions, suggesting that the handling of such people should be stepped up.

This kind of people have few scruples to begin with, and with today's riots serving as a precedent, there may be some trouble in the coming period.

Going to the Zhongjing competition venue itself is also part of the subsequent preparations.

The Arima Kinen is held at the Zhongshan racecourse. In order to better adapt to the venue environment, it is necessary to go to the track to practice in advance.

The Arima Memorial is located in Chiba Prefecture, southeast of Tokyo, which helps it avoid the unrest here.

As for whether the riots in Tokyo will subside after training at the Zhongshan stadium for a period of time, and whether reporters will follow there, we can only tell when the time comes.

Seeing that Kitahara had made arrangements, Kurokawa Masato did not insist.

After saying goodbye to Masato Kurokawa and thinking about the subsequent preparations, Kitahara was about to call Katsumi Komiyama and others to discuss it when Maruzenski suddenly spoke.

"Um... Kitahara, how about letting me help you arrange things like this in the future?"

"Will you help me arrange it?"

The action of making a phone call paused, and Kitahara asked in confusion: "Are you talking about the arrangement of the Zhongshan venue?
"I can do this kind of thing myself..."

"Oh, look."

Before Kitahara could finish his words, Maruzenski pointed in the direction where Kurokawa Masato left with an eager expression.

"People like Kurokawa Masato have secretaries and assistants to help them with their work.

“And Chairman Akikawa also has Miss Shunkawa to help.

"I saw your work schedule before, and I've also seen what you do every day these days. I feel like you're also very busy every day.

"I think it would be better if you had a secretary to help you, right?"

As she spoke, she turned around on the spot and smiled expectantly, "So you see, with my abilities and image, there shouldn't be any problem for me to be your secretary, right?

"How's it going, Kitahara... oh no, it's Mr. Chairman Kitahara.

"How about it, Mr. Chairman Kitahara, would you like to consider it?"

Maruzenski had not originally considered this idea.

I had previously asked Mejiro Takamine and the others for advice on changing my clothing style, simply because I wanted to improve my charm.

However, when I arrived at the construction site today, I saw that many of the secretaries and assistants who followed Kurokawa Masato were dressed like me after changing out of their work clothes.

She couldn't help but feel that it would be a good thing if she could be Kitahara's secretary.

Especially in the past few days, she did find that Beiyuan's daily work was very busy.

Like today, the day hasn't even passed yet, I first completed morning exercises at school, then had some training arrangements, and then rushed to the construction site.

After returning to school, I have to arrange training and preparation for the Zhongshan competition. I also have other work to do in the afternoon and evening.

With this level of work arrangement, it would definitely be a lot easier if someone could help.

...Is this some kind of role-playing that's popular nowadays...?
Kitahara didn't think too much about it, he was just very surprised.

But after thinking about it, it seems quite suitable.

After all, Maruzenski's current outfit is an office workplace style in itself, which makes him look charming and capable.

Based on past impressions, although Maruzenski is not good at handling official documents, he is very good at handling interpersonal relationships.

Especially as a famous horse racing girl, it would definitely be smoother if she were to be in charge of this aspect of things.

and……

Kitahara looked calmly at Maruzenski's current dress and black stockings, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

It would be nice to have a secretary like this forever...

only……

“…There’s nothing wrong with helping.”

After thinking for a while, Kitahara nodded and said, "Originally, Maruzen, you helped me a lot.

"But you will also need to train and compete in the future, and you also have student union affairs. Can you manage the time?"

"That doesn't matter."

Maruzenski then remembered that he had not yet told Kitahara about something he had mentioned to Rudo before.

"I told Lu Duo some time ago that I would resign from the position of vice president after the Peak Cup and other competitions are launched." Qian Ming also planned to do so.

“Also, Bai Ren and Qi Cao are growing stronger and stronger, and their work abilities are trustworthy.

“By the time the student union election comes around the end of the year, they will probably replace Qianming and me as the student union officers.

"With them here, there will be no problem with the work of the student union.

“I also help out when the student union is particularly busy.

“So, there is absolutely no problem using the rest of the time to train and help you.

"You don't have to worry too much."

Narita Shirahito and the gas tank...

If the two of them replace Maruzen and Chiaki as vice presidents of the student council, it will be no different from the original work...

However, many details in this timeline have changed now, and there may be some changes by then.

But we'll talk about that later.

After thinking for a while, Kitahara didn't hesitate any more and said, "Okay then, I'll leave it to you from now on, Secretary Maruzen."

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

On the way back to the academy, Kitahara handed over some work to Maruzenski.

It’s not a very complicated job. In the past, Maruzenski helped the Eternal Club deal with many things. This time it’s just a matter of explaining a lot of details clearly.

More explanations are given, including a brief description of many contact methods and my work habits in my daily schedule.

After receiving this information, Maruzenski was very satisfied and couldn't wait to try to "work".

"Then I'll explain it to Komiya-san and the others first!"

Because he wanted to try to help Kitahara with his work, Maruzenski did not drive this time, but sat in the back seat.

Sitting in the driver's seat and driving, listening to the excited voices behind, although he didn't understand why Maruzen was so excited, Kitahara still smiled unconsciously when he heard her voice.

However, I didn't laugh for long before I suddenly felt that something was wrong with the conversation that followed.

"Hello? Komiya-san? Yes, Kitahara and I have dealt with our affairs.

"Ah? There's nothing troublesome. How should I explain this call... By the way, let me put it this way, you can call me Kitahara's secretary from now on.

“It’s just to help Kitahara with his work.

"It's different from before. Anyway, if you and Mr. Yusuhara can't find Kitahara, you can just look for me.

"Hmm? You have something to talk to Kitahara about right now? He's driving... Well, tell me first.

"...Strange person?
“Strange people arrested some reporters who were hiding next to the college?
“And then send it to the academy?

“Then he disappeared?
“This…Does Luduo know?
"I see……

"Okay, I'll tell Kitahara, we'll be back at the academy soon."

After patiently waiting for Maruzenski to finish his call, Kitahara couldn't wait to ask before the other side could say anything.

"What's wrong? What strange person? What's going on? Why is it related to Luduo?"

It should be said that Maruzenski might be very suitable for the job of secretary. Facing Kitahara's series of questions, she did not panic but spoke calmly.

"It has nothing to do with Komiya-san and the others, and it also has nothing to do with Oguruma and the others."

As soon as she came up, she told Kitahara what she was most concerned about, “What Komiya-san just told me was what she and Yusuhara heard when they helped calm the frightened horse girl.

“Perhaps some guards were checking whether there were any bad journalists in the academy, and suddenly discovered some very strange people.

“These people are not inside the academy, but outside it.

“They also seemed to be paying attention to Uma Musume, because they were escorting some bad reporters who the campus guards hadn’t noticed.

“When the guards passed by, they handed the journalists over to the academy and left.

“Xiao Gongshan was worried about how that kind of person would be near the academy, and whether it would have an impact on the academy.

“So the phone call just now was to remind you.

"As for Luduo, Xiao Gongshan said that she didn't know whether Luduo knew about this matter."

As Maruzenski explained, Kitahara listened carefully while driving.

After listening to it, he originally wanted to say that he would talk about it after returning to the college, but suddenly he noticed some of Maruzenski's descriptions.

"That kind of person? Maruzen, you mean..."

After thinking for a while, Kitahara looked in the rearview mirror and asked, "Do you know the identities of those people?"

Through the rearview mirror, it was obvious that Maruzenski's expression was a little hesitant, and he did not immediately answer Kitahara's question.

After a moment, she nodded and spoke with some distress.

"If possible, I don't want you, Kitahara, to get involved in this kind of thing, but..."

After a pause, she held her forehead and said, “Well, maybe if I tell you first, you will be mentally prepared.

“Xiao Gongshan probably didn’t know the identities of those people, or she wasn’t sure.

"But after listening to her description, I mean, the description of those strange people, I think I am still right."

After hesitating for a moment, she also looked at Kitahara through the rearview mirror, “If I’m not mistaken, those should be people from the Yakuza.

“Generally speaking, the Yakuza people have nothing to do with Uma Musume.

“That’s why I didn’t understand why those people were next to the college and took the initiative to help us catch those bad reporters.

"But I've fought with those people before because of some things in the academy, so I can be sure that they are indeed from the Jidao side."

As he spoke, Maruzenski's expression became serious.

“And it is precisely because I have dealt with them before that I know very well that no matter what they think, they are still troublesome people.

"As for you, Kitahara, it would be better if you don't have any contact with them.

“Leave this matter to me and Luduo.

"Just focus on training and competition."

As he said this, Maruzenski stared nervously at Kitahara's reflection in the rearview mirror.

Soon, she realized that after hearing about a troublesome person like Jidao, although her boyfriend showed a headache as she expected, the emotion contained in it seemed different from what she expected.

At the same time, she heard Kitahara mumbling to himself.

"…Are we going to meet in this unexpected way…?"

"……Meet?"

Maruzenski was puzzled, "What do you mean?
"Could it be... Beiyuan, do you still want to get in touch with those extreme people?
"No! That's too dangerous! Even if this kind of organization is legal in Japan, if you have no experience in contact with them, it would still be easy to get into trouble if you meet them!
"I disagree!"
