Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 74 It’s time to rest (13)

Combining work and rest is a very important part of training.

The reason I brought Oguruma and Shin Shinkuei to Tokyo was because they had been working hard for a long time and needed a long vacation.

We have been training since returning to Kasamatsu, so it’s time for Oguruma and the others to rest for two days.

However, by the weekend of the next day, Kitahara found that the situation was a little different from what he had expected.

"Glorious took Xiaowan and Kyoko to go shopping with March and the others, Oguruma..."

Sitting in a corner of a coffee shop, Kitahara looked at the little chestnut hat beside him helplessly, "Why don't you go?"

There was a cup of coffee in front of him and Little Kurimao respectively. He didn't quite understand what this horse racing girl was thinking and was not in the mood to drink it.

Xiao Limao shrank his cheeks and sipped his coffee with a curious look.

"Hmm... so bitter... a little bit..."

After taking a sip of the coffee, Oguruma stuck out his tongue, frowned, and pushed the coffee to Kitahara, "Why would Kitahara like to drink this?"

"Waiter, please add more sugar and milk to this cup of coffee."

After greeting him, Kitahara thought for a moment and added, "Bring your desserts in turn."

Then he looked helplessly at the little chestnut hat with shining eyes and asked again.

"You haven't answered me yet, why don't you go play with Guanghui and the others?"

As if she had already eaten dessert, Oguruma smacked her lips and licked them, then looked at Kitahara.

"Because Beiyuan doesn't plan to rest."

Beiyuan was stunned.

"Didn't you say that you were going to meet Guanghui's mother today to discuss something very important? Then you have to be busy."

Reaching out and grabbing Kitahara's sleeve, she whispered, "You've worked so hard, Kitahara."

"You were busy before you went to Tokyo."

"We agreed to go to Tokyo to have fun. It was Guanghui and I who were going to have fun. You were the one who was busy the whole time."

"You've been even busier since you came back."

"I can see your dormitory from my dormitory. From my impression, the lights on your side are turned off very late every day."

"I have never seen when you turn off the light, because I have tried to see when you go to bed every day, but every time I am too sleepy to stand it, the light on your side is still on."

"You know I get up at 4 o'clock every day."

"I've woken up many times and saw your light was still on."

"You've been up all night for the 76th time since I noticed it."

"The one who deserves the most rest is Kitahara."

Something burning was rippling in his eyes. He picked up the cup of coffee that belonged to someone else and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did Kitahara suppress the choking feeling in his heart.

"…but it's all worth it…"

Oguruma clearly heard Kitahara's mumbling to himself, but she said nothing, her fingers stubbornly pinching Kitahara's sleeve.

"...Okay, I promise you, from today on, I will pay attention to rest."

Kitahara said softly.

The fingers pinching the sleeves remained stubborn for a long time.

"I'll supervise you, Kitahara."

Oguruma's voice was very soft, and his tone was unquestionable, "I will supervise your rest just like you supervise my training, competition, and rest, Kitahara."

“…There is no problem.”

His fingers slowly loosened. The burning sensation began to flood his eyes again, and Kitahara subconsciously picked up the remaining cup of coffee on the table and drank it all.

Just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly saw Xiaonan Tomomi appear at the door of the coffee shop out of the corner of his eye. Kitahara was startled and immediately stood up.

"Ms. Xiaonan, this way. Thank you for coming all the way here."

Oguruma also stood up, but his eyes were fixed on Kitahara.

...Hmm, it seems that even if I don't eat, I have to make sure Kitahara gets enough rest...

Otherwise, he would definitely get busy again when I wasn't paying attention...

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Kitahara."

She hurried over and shook hands with Kitahara, then sat opposite Kitahara. Xiaonan Tomomi looked at Oguruma and said, "It's been a long time, Oguruma. When will you come to our place with Guanghui again?"

Before going to Tokyo, Oguruma had been to the Shin Shinkuei House many times, but he has not been there again since he came back.

"Once Kitahara has rested, I want to take him with me." Ogurumao answered seriously.

...Okay, no more staying up late...

Knowing why Oguruma said that, Kitahara smiled bitterly to himself, then looked at Konan Tomomi seriously.

"Ms. Xiaonan, what do you think about what we talked about on the phone?"

After asking Shining Glory to arrange a meeting with Tomomi Konan, Kitahara also spoke to this lady on the phone.

His idea was simple. He hoped that the other party could work part-time as Xiaolimao's manager in business cooperation. If she could handle it later, Xiaohaiwan would be handed over to her.

Through the customization of weight-bearing equipment, Kitahara could see that Xiaonan Tomomi was an outstanding business talent. In fact, she didn't need this. The fact that she could run a good sports store and a supporting factory in the local area was enough to illustrate her ability.

Compared to training, Kitahara is actually more familiar with business operations, as he used to be an elite in this industry.

But the Uma Musume industry is different after all.

The core of this industry is horse racing girls. In business terms, the "core competitiveness" lies in the horse racing girls, and all profits are proportional to their performance on the field.

In the past, when it came to business management, Beiyuan was used to taking charge of the most important and core matters himself, and leaving the rest to talents in the corresponding fields.

Now as a trainer, the most important thing is naturally training and competition, which he must do personally.

Now there is a new brilliance in technology. Although she is young, her talent has been fully demonstrated through her first place in the Central Trainee Program. What's more, the training techniques required nowadays are not complicated, so she is fully capable of doing everything.

In terms of medicine, we have Kyoko Miyamura, who is a graduate student and a candidate for a doctorate at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Tokyo. There is no doubt about her ability. She also has the medical giant Ren Furukubo behind her, so there will be no problem in leaving all these aspects to her.

After being reminded by Kyoko Miyamura, Kitahara believes that it is necessary to make some arrangements in the business aspect, which is important both for the expansion of current training funds and future planning.

Tomomi Konan happens to be the most suitable candidate. She has experience in running specialty stores and factories, knows Kasamatsu very well, has a very capable personality, and is a new and glorious mother. She is trustworthy in all aspects.

All of this was exactly what Kitahara discussed with Tomomi Konan on the phone.

"To be honest, Mr. Kitahara, I had this idea in mind, but I was afraid that Mr. Kitahara didn't know enough about business or didn't understand it."

Xiao Nan Zhi Mei said directly: "It's not that I look down on Mr. Kitahara. There are big differences between industries. I believe that Mr. Kitahara has excellent training level, but business is another matter."

"Better business operations can increase the resources that horse racing girls earn through competitions exponentially, which can then be fed back to them in the form of better training and living conditions. This is a completely beneficial thing."

"So, I wanted to talk to Mr. Kitahara about these things through Guanghui a long time ago. It just so happens that Mr. Kitahara also has this intention. So let me first talk about my business philosophy... Hey? Mr. Kitahara...?"

Kitahara took out a stack of documents as thick as half a palm from behind his seat and handed them over with a smile.

"I stayed up all night last night to work on a business plan for our collaboration."

"It's a bit hasty, so there must be many problems. I hope Ms. Xiaonan can correct me."

Alas, I won’t have the chance to stay up late to do these anymore…

With a smile on his face, he sighed inwardly.

The speed of the masters who ordered 10,000 high-quality products is really outrageous. I tried my best, but I still couldn’t catch up...

But the word count has gone up, so I will continue with the third update today
