Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 87: Fly, Fly, Chase
"Hahahaha! Oguri, Oguri! And Xiaohaiwan! Look! We're flying! Hey, hey! Come on, Inari! We'll take you flying later!"

He looked up in surprise and saw what was happening in front of him. Kitahara was so surprised that he didn't even notice that the clipboard and pen had fallen.

On the track, the one who was sprinting desperately with “Ahhhhh” sounds was Inari Ichi.

The weight-bearing equipment on her body was hung with a long parachute rope, one end of the rope was connected to the equipment mechanism on her back, and the other end was connected to the equipment mechanism in front of Tamamo Cross.

The mechanism behind Tamamo Cross is connected to 7 parachutes.

With Inari's desperate sprint, the seven parachutes swelled up and flew in the air with the Tamamo Cross.

Besides Inariichi who was rushing on the ground, there were also Ogurumao and Xiaohaiwan who were chasing each other.

As Little Chestnut Hat chased after him, he hummed in dissatisfaction.

"Xiaoyu is really too much. She secretly discussed such a fun thing with Xiaodaohe without telling me and Xiaohaiwan... Xiaohaiwan! Let's catch up with them! Let's fly too!"

The little bay is not running for the same purpose.

"Inari-chan, and Tama-chan... stop playing around. If Mr. Kitahara finds out, he'll be mad... Ugh, if I had known I wouldn't have lent you my and Oguri's parachutes... Ah! Mr. Kitahara has already found out! This is terrible..."

...You horse racing girls really know how to play...

After being stunned for a while, Kitahara did not stop Inariichi and Tamamo Cross from playing.

"It's okay, you guys have fun, it's break time anyway."

He smiled and waved towards the cove, indicating that there was no need to worry.

The way several horse girls have fun is very simple, it is nothing more than "flying for a while" with the help of parachutes.

If people were to play like this, the power source could only be a car or other means of transportation. In fact, there are such sports as parachuting or paragliding.

However, with the physical fitness and speed of the horse racing girls, they can make the parachute fly with their physical strength alone, and can also "carry" another horse racing girl with them.

Of course, the fact that he could fly so smoothly was also because Tamamo Cross was not tall and did not weigh much.

Kitahara actually hopes that the horse girls can have some fun like this when they have nothing to do.

He had originally considered that during the one-month long joint training, Oguruma and the others would need to recognize each other so as to improve their tacit understanding and cooperation during training.

Especially for Tamamono Juji and Inariichi, who have some minor frictions with each other, it would be a good thing to have more of this kind of interaction.

Now that we have this opportunity and Tamamo Cross is flying steadily and there are no safety issues, there is no need to stop it.

It is obvious that Oguruma and the others also hope so.

"Oh! Kitahara allowed it! Xiaowan, can you take me flying later?"

"Ah, since Mr. Kitahara thinks it's okay... then fine, but my speed may not be as fast as Inari-chan, so I'm afraid I won't be able to carry Oguruma away, right?"

"Well... indeed, I've been training a lot lately, and I've been eating a lot more every day than before, so I should have gained weight... Oh, by the way, Xiaoyu——!"

"Ah——? Xiaoli——are you calling me——?"

"Right! How about you, Xiaowan, and Xiaoinari take me flying later?"

"Ah? Xiaoli, what did you say? The wind was too strong up there, so we couldn't hear clearly."

They flew and chased each other happily.

After a while, Kitahara had almost finished organizing the training results and was about to invite Xiaolimao and the others to have dinner together when he suddenly heard a surprised voice behind him. "Uh... Senior Brother, what are they doing?"

Turning around, she saw Komiya behind her with a look of confusion and astonishment on her face, and Yusuhara and Miyamura who were following behind her had the same expression.

"Ah, I found something interesting, so I'm very excited. I mean Oguruma and the others."

Pointing to the runway on the training ground, Kitahara realized that at some point, the one flying in the sky was replaced by Oguruma, and the ones running on the ground with parachutes were Tamamo Cross, Inari Ichi and Kobayashi.

"I thought it was quite interesting, so I didn't stop him."

Kitahara smiled and said, "It also serves as a bit of training. Just now, the Tamamo Cross has flown past once, and I don't know when it became the Ogururi Hat that's flying now."

"I see. It's really fun."

Xiao Gongshan smiled and nodded, "I didn't expect that you, who looks like an old man in his 50s or 60s, would actually play with them. This really surprised me."

"Hey, hey, I'm still in my prime twenties, not as old as you say." Kitahara made a bitter face.

Hearing this, Komiya and the other three chuckled, and then Yusuhara gave a dry cough.

"Well, but work and rest must be balanced. I think it's time for them to go eat. Playing like this is very exhausting. It would be bad if it affects the afternoon training."

He pointed at the horse girls flying and running around on the track and said half seriously and half jokingly, "And didn't Kitahara say that he would take them to the movies when they have a formal break in a few days?"

"Maybe after the movie, we can take them out to play in the wild. That kind of place is more suitable for this... uh, flying a kite, right?"

Komiya spoke again with a hint of sarcasm.

"Eh? Brother Yusuhara would say something like that? I thought you were a serious and old-fashioned person."

Taro Yusuhara looked a little embarrassed.

"Well... maybe it's because I've been in Europe and America for too long and my mentor has influenced me. He is very rigorous in his work. When he's guiding me, if there's something wrong, he might ask me to overturn and redo it. Alas, before the results come out, it's a tormenting period."

"Ahahaha... Brother Yusuhara, don't explain so seriously..."

Scratching his cheek, Komiya-san felt a little embarrassed, "I was just joking...by the way."

She changed the subject and said, "It just so happens that we have something serious to talk about."

She looked at Beiyuan with a serious look, "Brother, the three of us discussed this when we came here just now. We want to formally talk to you about forming a team."

Hearing this, Kitahara was stunned at first, then he saw that including Komiyayama, Yusuhara Taro and Miyamura Kyoko were also looking at him with seriousness and expectation, so he nodded.

"Then call Xiao Limao and the others to have dinner, and we can talk while we eat."

After arriving at the cafeteria, the horse racing girls sat at one table, and Kitahara and other trainers sat at another table.

The one who got straight to the point was Taro Yusuhara.

"Originally, Komiya-san and I were just chatting."

He briefly explained the cause, "At that time, I said that the European and American sides basically train and arrange competitions in a team form, with team members performing their respective duties and cooperating with each other to provide the best conditions for Uma Musume from different aspects."

"Whether in theory or in the actual results I observed, this approach has many advantages, so when I was still studying abroad, I thought about referring to that kind of team building after I came back and forming a team myself."

"Coincidentally, Komiya-san told me that Kitahara-nii also had such plans. I would like to discuss this matter formally."
