Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 5: The Thousand Mile Horse

Kitahara was a little excited, but Oguruma didn't notice at all.

She just tilted her head subconsciously, her furry silver-gray ears twitched, and she opened her mouth.

"Ah... So you're a trainer. Hmm, I see."

With an expression that said, "I don't know what it is, but it sounds like it is true," Oguruma nodded a little blankly, and then abruptly changed the subject:
"So, do you want to eat together?"

This sentence made the somewhat excited Kitahara stunned, but before he could react, Oguruma turned to look at his mother:

"Mom, if the trainers eat together, will there not be enough food? I can go buy some more ingredients."

As he spoke, a different expression finally appeared in Oguruma's silly look.

She had a worried expression on her face and her hands unconsciously covered her stomach.

As she did this, a very clear "gurgling" sound was heard in the living room.

"Ah, don't worry about that. I'm still making curry rice today. There are enough toppings, and I've also steamed a big bucket of rice."

Responding to her daughter's concerns, White Jewel looked at Little Limao tenderly and said comfortingly, "You don't have to worry about not having enough to eat, Little Limao."

Then, she looked at Kitahara again, "I just forgot to ask, Mr. Kitahara, you came all the way here, it's really hard work, if you don't mind, can you stay for dinner?"

Beiyuan has calmed down by now and is no longer excited.

After all, for the people in this world, no one knows what kind of amazing achievements Oguruma will have in the future, even she herself. No one can empathize with her excitement.

By observing his words and expressions, he easily realized that in addition to being unaware of his own amazing talent, Oguruma knew nothing about trainers, competitions, etc., otherwise he would not have revealed such a puzzled expression just now.

It seems that even if Oguruma joins the team, there is still a lot of work to be done.

After thinking about it secretly, Beiyuan felt that he could stay a little longer.

"Then I will obey your orders." Beiyuan put his hands together and saluted the white gemstone, smiling, "As long as it doesn't trouble you."

"Please don't say that. It's not a big deal. We usually cook a lot at home. You don't have to worry about not eating well." Bai Baozhu explained quickly.

Hearing this, Kitahara couldn't help but laugh secretly.

Of course, in another world, whether in reality or in the game, Oguruma is a well-known big eater. If you don’t cook more meals on a regular basis, you really can’t feed her enough.

In historical facts, Oguruma was indeed a big eater.

The ranch where the racehorse lived when he was young was in poor conditions, and in order to get enough food, the racehorse even ate weeds and grass.

Later, after examination by doctors, it was discovered that there was a very rare digestive enzyme in the digestive system of Oguruma that could digest wood chips, which made Oguruma's diet extremely wide.

Simply put, what other horses can eat and digest, the little chestnut can eat, and what other horses cannot eat and digest, the little chestnut can also eat.

Therefore, some people even joked that Oguruma "ate" all the way from the local arena to the central arena.

In the game and anime settings, Oguruma is a beautiful girl who loves to eat.

According to the official setting set, she can eat 10 servings of rice in an ordinary meal, and often eats up all the ingredients in the cafeteria at the academy.

She is also the champion of various eating contests. In one challenge, she ate 1000 servings of "Kanko soba", a specialty of Iwate Prefecture.

Before traveling through time, Kitahara had thought that the setting of Oguruma as a super foodie was very interesting. Now that he had met the horse girl, he really wanted to see with his own eyes how much this horse girl who was famous for her eating habits could eat.

Soon, he saw it.

"Mr. Kitahara? Mr. Kitahara?"

After two consecutive reminders, Kitahara finally came to his senses. After he agreed to stay at Ogurimao's house for dinner, White Jewel quickly went to the kitchen and brought out two large buckets of food.

Two big buckets indeed.

The kind of rice bucket in the cafeteria that is half a person's height.

One bucket was filled with curry, and the other bucket was filled with rice that was overflowing from the brim.

The two buckets were placed next to Ogurimao, but he didn't care that there were guests next to him. He just took the large bowl he got from the kitchen and started eating one bowl after another.

The reason why Kitahara was dazed was that in just a few blinks of an eye, Oguruma could finish a full bowl of curry rice.

Then he went to get the next bowl "really without stopping at all".

"...Ah, ah, Ms. White Pearl, what did you say?" Kitahara came back to his senses and quickly looked at White Pearl.

With a shy smile on his face, Bai Baozhi sighed and said, "I'm sorry to embarrass you. Xiao Lili has been like this since she was young. Um... she eats a lot..."

...Well, this is not just a little bit big, it's a billion points big...

His expression suddenly became strange, and Kitahara also discovered that while Bai Baozhu was talking, Ogurumao had finished a full bowl of rice and was immediately getting another bowl.

…This is the fifth or sixth bowl. Although I knew this setting before, it’s still a bit scary to see it with my own eyes…Both gluttons have eaten one-third of it.”

Although he smiled bitterly, Kitahara felt somewhat encouraged.

However, being able to eat is a good thing.

Although the laws of this world are different from those of the other world, energy can still be conserved. The fact that Oguruma is such a big eater means that she must be an outstanding horse racing girl, just like in the other world.

Encouraged, Kitahara smiled at the White Jewel and shook his head.

"Don't say that. I'm not making fun of anything."

"Or rather, seeing how much Kourimao eats, I became more determined to invite her to join the team."

Oguruma, who was concentrating on eating, did not react much to these words. He just tilted his head, looked at Kitahara in confusion, and then continued to concentrate on eating.

But White Jewel was stunned.

"Mr. Kitahara... do you really value Oguri so much?" The expression on the mother's face clearly showed hesitation and emotion.

Kitahara could understand. He felt that from the perspective of most people in this world, no one would think that Ogururoshi would achieve anything in the future, not even her mother, White Jewel.

However, it is precisely because she is a mother that, even though she knows that her daughter is "not talented", she still hopes that her daughter can have a bright future. So when facing Kitahara who extremely recognizes Oguruma, she naturally feels a little moved.

However, Kitahara didn't say much, but smiled and said:

"After all, I've heard a saying that a horse that can run a thousand miles can eat up a stone of millet in one go. Xiao Limao is such a big eater, maybe he really has the potential to become a thousand-mile horse."

Beiyuan thought that his words could comfort Bai Baozhu, but he didn't expect Bai Baozhu to look puzzled.

"Eh? Is there such a saying?"

Beiyuan had already checked and knew that there was no "Horse Theory" in this world, so he just smiled and nodded, "At least that's what I think."

Hearing this, Bai Baozhi was silent for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have made some kind of decision and took a deep breath.

"Although I haven't heard what Mr. Kitahara said, I can feel that you really value Oguruma."

"Thank you very much. I will explain to Oguri about joining the team later today. Please wait patiently, Mr. Kitahara."
