Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 49 Didn’t I hide in vain? (The third update, thank you for your follow-up reading!)
Moved, Kitahara said modestly: "They are excellent in themselves, I just do some insignificant auxiliary work."

"You're very modest, Mr. Kitahara."

After another greeting, Junchuan Tezuna raised his right hand and looked at the watch on his wrist.

...Left-handed? The original work doesn't seem to highlight this point...Kitahara noticed the detail that Tsuna Shunkawa wore his watch on his right wrist.

"It's getting late now," he looked at the time, stroked his cheek with his right hand, and made a thoughtful expression, "May I ask, is Mr. Kitahara staying in a hotel with Oguruma and the others these days?"

"Well, it's near Fuchu Station. Isn't it close to the Tokyo Stadium? I was thinking of taking them in for a look when I have the chance." Kitahara explained casually.

"A hotel near Fuzhong Station..."

Tetsuna Shunkawa nodded, then frowned, revealing a worried look, "The hotel fees there are not cheap..." She pursed her lips slightly, as if thinking.

Seeing this, Beiyuan thought that the other party was worried about the expenses on his side, so he smiled and said, "The expenses... are not bad."

He pointed at Xiao Li Mao and Xin Xin Guang Hui beside him, "They are both very good. They have won more than a dozen games in the past six months. Thanks to them, my bonus as a trainer is pretty good."

"Besides, we're already in Tokyo. It would be petty to be more timid. It's okay to live a little more comfortably."

However, Surukawa Tezuna didn't mean what Kitahara thought.

"As expected, she is an excellent horse girl and trainer."

After giving the compliment, she smiled slightly, "But Mr. Kitahara misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just had an idea or a suggestion."

"If you want to hang out in the academy these few days, you might want to stay at my place."

"My house is quite big, it can accommodate everyone. What do you think?"

At first, Kitahara thought that Surukawa Tezuna meant to live at her house and wanted to refuse.

After all, there was no problem for Xiaolimao and Xinxin Guanghui to live there, but it was a bit awkward for him, a grown man, to go with them.

But he soon discovered that that was not what Junchuan Tezuna meant.

On the tram.

"...I see, Miss Junchuan has so many assets under her name." Sitting in his seat, Kitahara said thoughtfully.

Earlier, Sumikawa Tezuna explained what "come and live at my place" meant.

She owns some properties and lives there, but only in one apartment; most of the others are rented out.

There are still many empty rooms with all the furniture you need, so you can arrange to entertain friends at any time.

This is a detail that is not in the original work, and Kitahara has been thinking about related clues.

Toukawa Tezuna explained it himself.

"Actually, it's not mine..."

For a moment, a hint of deep sadness flashed across her eyes, and the next second, she had a gentle smile on her face again:

"It was left to a friend by an elder, but my friend is usually very busy, so he asked me to take care of it."

"Originally I didn't have much time, after all I had to deal with the school's affairs. Fortunately the apartment management company there provided good service, so I didn't have to do much, so I was only in charge of the management in name only."

"There are a lot of empty houses over there, and Mr. Liuping has entrusted me to take care of you, so there will be no problem staying there for a while."

After hearing the explanation, Kitahara still had no idea about the origins of these properties of Shunchuan Tezuna, so he simply put it aside, thought for a moment, and changed the subject. "Then, we'll bother you."

After a polite remark, Kitahara asked, "We have mentioned our purpose of coming here. Miss Junchuan is a professional. I wonder if you have any suggestions for visiting Central Tresen College?"

Junchuan Tezuna thought about it seriously and said, "I have received visitors like Mr. Kitahara before. Usually, I or the horse girls from the student council took them to visit the academy."

“If there are active horse racing girls who are free, we can organize some temporary practice such as running side by side, or even some exchange competitions. At that time, many horse racing girls will come to watch.”

"That's fine," Kitahara cheered up. "I originally wanted to take Oguruma and Shining Glory to see the style of Central University. I also thought about visiting the campus and running side by side, but I'm afraid it will be too much trouble for you."

"But if there is a precedent, I'll still say the same thing. I'll be brazen enough to bother you."

"I wonder which horse girls we'd be running with if we were to run side by side?" Kitahara was expecting Surukawa Tezuna to mention some famous names.

However, Tetsuna Sugawa gave other answers.

"There's nothing wrong with visiting and running together," she affirmed, then smiled and shook her head, "But compared to previous visitors, Mr. Kitahara is a little different."

"Different? How is it different?" Kitahara was stunned.

"Mr. Kitahara is excellent, as are Oguruma and Shining Glory."

Shunkawa Tezuna said sincerely: "I think maybe I can take a few of you directly to the board of directors, or find the student union first to discuss the transfer."

"Mr. Kitahara should be very clear. With the strength of the two horse girls, they are too hidden in the local area. The same is true for Mr. Kitahara himself."

"Due to the URA Association's regulations, Kitahara needs to pass an exam before he can enter the Central School. However, there won't be any major problems with the transfer of Oguruma and Shining Glory. If we apply to the school tomorrow, we might be able to get approved that day."

"And with Mr. Kitahara's excellence, it's only a matter of time for him to pass the central government's assessment. I think that time..."

Shunkawa Tezuna was interrupted before he could finish his words.

But it wasn't Kitahara who interrupted her, even though he already had the intention to refuse.

...I came to Tokyo just to avoid the Ludo symbol. If I transfer to Central Academy, my hiding would be in vain. Kitahara thought.

The one who interrupted Surukawa Tezuna's words was Oguri Hat.

"No."

Oguruma, who had been silent before, now looked at Tetsuna Sugawa seriously and said in a tone that did not allow for argument, "I will not come to the Central University until Kitahara is admitted to the Central University."

"Besides, there will be the Tokai Derby in May next year. I have made an appointment with Fujimasa March to compete again in the Tokai Derby. I cannot break the appointment."

"So I refuse."

Shunkawa Tezuna was suddenly at a loss, looking a little panicked and confused, and the atmosphere here became a little awkward.

Sensing the awkwardness, Shining Glory, who had been watching silently, shook his hand and spoke tentatively.

"Ah... that... Oguri, don't be so impatient... I'm sorry, Ms. Shunkawa, Oguri said that for a reason, that is, that is..."

While Shining Glory was hesitating, Kitahara suddenly spoke.

"I'd better let me explain it."
