Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 81: A Good Guy

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all... Inari, no, mother, please take care of Inari..."

"Hey, hey! Alang, stop pulling me! I haven't recognized that person as Oguruma..."

"Inari."

"...Okay, I get it, Big Sister..."

On the other side of the video, Taro Yusuhara pulled Inari out of the screen with a helpless look on his face. There was also an old female voice, which was probably his mother, Yusuhara Ryuko.

On this side of the video, Kitahara and others were also talking in low voices.

"... Kitahara, what is style?"

"... In this case, you just pointed out that Inariichi's special appearance with fireworks was a bit disrespectful to her..."

"I see. I won't say it next time... I just think it will be very troublesome for her to clean up after setting off so many streamers and fireworks. Some of them have floated to the ceiling. Can she reach them?"

"Puff." X3.

Komiyayama and Tamamo Cross laughed out loud instantly, and Kitahara couldn't help it either.

Inari is 1 meters tall, so it would be a bit troublesome if he really wanted to clean the ceiling.

As expected of Oguruma, he is very worried.

After laughing, Kitahara thought for a moment.

"Junior sister, take them two to the side first. I will talk to Mr. Yuhara. I will call you if there is any need."

After Komiyayama and the others sat on the sofa in the office and whispered, Kitahara looked at the screen.

"I prefer to get straight to the point. Do you mind, Mr. Yusuhara?"

On the screen, Yusuhara Taro nodded and said simply, "I am also a direct person, please."

"Okay, let's make sure of one thing first."

Kitahara pondered for a moment. "According to the information I found, in the files of Oi Academy, Inariichi's trainer is Ms. Yusuhara Ryuko. What is Mr. Yusuhara's current condition? Can you tell me about it?"

He wanted to confirm whether Taro Yusuhara had the power to make the decision.

Taro Yusuhara understood the hidden meaning.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kitahara. My mother is quite old. Inari is the last horse girl she will train. She will retire soon."

"That's why I'm returning. I'll be taking over my mother's job and continuing to be Inari's trainer."

"but……"

He changed the subject and said, "Because I just returned to China, I haven't participated in the central trainer assessment yet."

"The assessment method for returning trainers is also different from that for local trainers, so for a long time, I was just Inari's acting trainer, or a temporary trainer."

Is he also a temporary trainer like Komiya-san?

After pondering for a moment, Kitahara decided to tell the truth.

"Coincidentally, although I am already a local trainer, I only passed the written test of this year's central assessment, and I have not yet taken the physical fitness test in January next year."

"Tamamo Cross's trainer, Komiyayama, has also just graduated, and his situation is the same as yours."

Yusuhara Taro nodded and raised his lips slightly, "It seems that our trainers are in similar situations. Perhaps when we train together, we will have a lot of common topics."

"Train together..." Kitahara noticed this sentence.

"Yes, let's train together."

Nodding again, Yusuhara Taro's expression became serious, "Inari's statement just now was a bit exaggerated, but the meaning should have been conveyed."

"We accept the challenge from Mr. Kitahara and Oguruma, and are going to sign up for the 'Shizo Special Cup' at the Kasamatsu Stadium."

"The process is already underway and we will receive a response from the URA this week."

"So, after the video call, we will take the Shinkansen to Kasamatsu to acclimate to the venue in advance."

"I hope Mr. Kitahara will take care of me then. Thank you very much."

Kitahara admired Taro Yusuhara's decisive style and smiled with satisfaction.

"Don't worry about that. Kasamatsu's dormitory conditions are pretty good. Of course, if you have any special requests, I can arrange better accommodation for you."

Taro Yusuhara shook his head. "The dormitory is fine. Thank you, Mr. Kitahara."

"So, Mr. Kitahara, do you have anything else to ask? Or do you need any cooperation from us? If not, we'll go to the station now."

"That's not urgent. There's one more thing." Kitahara raised a hand, indicating that he had something to say. When he contacted the school before, he only mentioned the "challenge" and did not mention the situation of Tamamo Cross, because this matter was more complicated and he wanted to explain it in detail in the video.

"It's like this. In addition to Oguruma, there was another horse girl in the video. She has some problems and needs Inari's help..."

After explaining PTSD, doctor's orders, treatment plans, etc. in detail, Kitahara looked at Yusuhara Taro sincerely.

"This request has not been mentioned before, and it seems a bit hasty at the moment. I hope Mr. Yusuhara will forgive me."

"I hope Mr. Yusuhara will seriously consider this matter."

After saying this, Kitahara thought that Yusuhara Taro would need to think about it for a while or ask something else, but the other party's straightforwardness was beyond his expectations.

"Then we must speed up our movement."

Nodding quickly, Yusuhara Taro stood up. "Psychological problems need to be dealt with as soon as possible. The longer we delay, the more trouble we will have. Mr. Kitahara should have told us directly. If we encounter such a thing, I think any trainer will not sit idly by."

"Besides, I have some experience."

Kitahara was stunned for a moment, then became overjoyed, "Mr. Yusuhara, have you ever experienced such a case?"

"As for PSTD, I came across similar cases when I was studying in the UK."

Taro Yusuhara did not deny it. "Let me sort it out. If I bring those cases with me, the effect will be better."

"Mr. Kitahara, please be patient and wait for us."

Thanks to Taro Yusuhara's efficient style, the entire video call ended quickly.

Although the contact time was short, Kitahara could feel that this young prospective trainer had excellent professional qualities and was extremely enthusiastic about horse girls, but his personality prevented him from expressing it so obviously.

After arranging for Komiyayama to take Oguruma and Tamamo Cross back to rest, Kitahara quickly arranged accommodation for Yusuhara Taro and Inari Ichi, and arrived at the station early to wait.

There was a small accident when picking up the person.

"...Uh, she is..."

Pointing at Inariichi who was sleeping soundly on Yusuhara Taro's back, Kitahara felt a little amused.

Taro Yusuhara also looked helpless.

"She was so excited last night when she heard about the challenge, and she trained especially hard today, so she ended up being exhausted."

"Alas, he started yelling as soon as he got on the bus, saying things like he wanted to run like an Edo boy and let the name of Inari Ichi of Oi spread throughout Kasamatsu, but he fell asleep soon after and couldn't be woken up no matter how hard we called him."

"You really make me worry... Oh, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Kitahara."

Unable to salute with Inari on his back, Yusuhara Taro curled the corners of his mouth helplessly.

Oh, the self-training has reduced my physical strength, plus I don’t get enough sleep, I know.

Kitahara chuckled.

"What can we do? We are their trainers."

After a moment's pause, Yusuhara Taro quickly smiled in approval.

"You're right. We are their trainers."

"Actually, I was a little worried." He suddenly changed the subject.

"Worried? Worried about what?" Kitahara asked confusedly.

Yusuhara Taro also chuckled, "I was originally worried that after training Oguruma who won every 10 battles, he would come with some aggressive challenge..."

"I'm afraid such a trainer might be a little arrogant and difficult to get along with."

"I'm sorry, I was born in Edo and studied in England for a long time, so I may not be as tactful as others."

"In short, I'm worried that Mr. Kitahara is an arrogant person."

Being mistaken for being conceited, Kitahara did not feel unhappy and just pondered for a moment.

"So you found out that I'm actually a good guy?" He chuckled and looked at Taro Yusuhara.

"should say……"

Taro Yusuhara freed one hand and extended it to me, "You are an excellent trainer, please meet me."

“Pleasure is mine.”

Shaking hands with Yusuhara Taro, Kitahara curled his lips and said, "Welcome to Kasamatsu."
