Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 91 The Sky Called "Triple Crown" (Second Update)

After the meeting, Kitahara was left alone in the cove.

"Ah, Mr. Kitahara, are you worried about me?"

Xiao Haiwan's face showed a little bit of nervousness, but more of confidence.

"I know it took me a long time to recover, and it will take some time for me to catch up with Oguruma and the others in all aspects..."

She pursed her lips, clenched her fists, and determination gradually emerged in her eyes.

“But I am confident that if I just train and run, I will not lose to them!”

"Besides, this is to fully revive Xiaoyu, I will definitely do my best!"

Kitahara was stunned.

He wasn't doubting the cove's problems.

With his intervention, Xiao Haiwan will no longer have the problem of "glass feet". With her talent, even with ordinary level of training, she will have no problem participating in her debut competition in any arena in January next year.

Kitahara is thinking about more than just his debut battle.

"I'm not worried about you. I just have something else I want to discuss with you."

Smiling and waving his hands, facing Xiao Haiwan's puzzled gaze, Beiyuan pondered for a moment.

"I want to sign you up for the 'Triple Crown' route, right after I get into Central."

There was silence in the office for a while.

"'Triple Crown'?! Kitahara-san...are you talking about me?!"

Xiaowan covered his mouth in disbelief.

Kitahara smiled again.

"Why? No confidence?"

Walking over and touching Xiaowan's head, Kitahara said softly: "During this period, your efforts are obvious to all. You were able to recover from the inflammation so quickly and improve the quality of your feet so quickly. Kyoko said that 80% of the horse girls can't do this."

"You really tried hard, Cove."

"Not only do you have to work hard, you also have to remember that I said I wanted you to learn to be patient, but I think you have forgotten about it."

“…S-Sorry, Mr. Kitahara, I…”

Xiaowan's long ears bent, and he lowered his voice, "These days, I have been training, eating, and playing with Xiaoli and the others, and I have forgotten about this matter a little."

"No, but..." She began a little panicked.

Before she could finish, Kitahara raised his hand with a smile.

"But this just proves that you have learned to be patient."

Looking at Xiaowan's surprised expression, Kitahara thought for a moment.

"If I told you not to think about a white-haired horse girl, what would you think about, Cove?"

"I'll think of Oguri and Tama."

Xiao Haiwan said honestly, and then a little confused, "But they seem to have silver-gray hair color..."

Kitahara smiled.

"The point is not to make you think about someone, I mean that when I tell you something, you will think about that thing and will clearly realize that it is me who makes you think that way."

"In other words, if you keep focusing on what I mean by patience, you will only pay attention to the word and not to yourself."

"You haven't noticed the word 'patience' yet. You have been training happily and seriously with Oguruma and the others every day. On the contrary, you have already achieved the thing of patience."

"So, there's no need for you to worry about whether you've done it..."

Smiling, Kitahara placed his hand on Xiaowan's head and touched it gently, "You have already done it."

The long ears trembled quickly, giving off a soft chestnut glow.

"Yeah!" She nodded vigorously.

"Okay, then you can tell me your answer." Kitahara smiled even more. "The 'Triple Crown' route, do you want to give it a try, Little Bay?"

This time, Xiao Haiwan was silent for a long time, but when she was silent, there was no uneasy and hesitant expression on her beautiful face, but an increasingly clear and firm expression.

"Oguri carries the expectations of her mother, Mr. Kitahara, and everyone in Kasamatsu..."

She suddenly started talking about something else, and her eyes turned to a corner of the sky, as if she was looking at something.

"Xiaoyu is running for her grandfather and her brothers and sisters..."

"Little Inari wants to let the world know that there is an Inari in Oi..."

He slowly turned his gaze back, and in his azure eyes, there burst out a bright, firm, and dazzling light like a diamond.

"I also have my own gazes..."

"Mom and Dad are looking at me, Mr. Kitahara is looking at me, and so are Oguri and the others..."

"I've been through so much, endured so much..."

"If, as Mr. Kitahara said, this kind of endurance is for the purpose of 'emerging as a butterfly'..."

"Then why not choose the widest sky?"

Kitahara's hand was still on Xiaowan's head. At this time, Xiaowan stretched out his hands, took Kitahara's hands in front of him, and held them in his hands.

"I want to challenge."

"Challenge the sky called 'Triple Crown'."

The power conveyed by her clenched hands was clearly reflected on Kitahara's hand.

After confirming Xiao Haiwan's intention, the training on the next day went as planned.

"I'm considering arranging Xiaowan's debut match for January next year, which is the month after Komiyayama and the others are admitted to Central University."

Holding a recording board and a stopwatch, Kitahara announced to the horse racing girls warming up on the training ground:

"I am currently considering a debut race on grass at around 1200 meters. I will confirm my registration when the specific race is about a month away, but for now, Xiao Haiwan will practice according to this standard."

"Hi! I'll try my best!" Xiao Haiwan nodded vigorously.

"Yeah, nice momentum."

Nodding slightly, Kitahara added, "But right now, for Xiaoyu's recovery, we will train at the length of the Naruo Memorial this week."

"The Naruo Memorial Race is 2000 meters long. Xiaoyu has participated in many races of this length before, so she should have no problem adapting."

"The cove should be fine."

"The medical data provided by Kyoko shows that Xiaowan's respiratory system, blood circulation system and other endurance physiological foundations are excellent. The heart's blood ejection capacity, skeletal muscle metabolism capacity, and muscle glycogen content are all above average, especially the lung respiratory function. Her lungs have the best oxygen uptake per unit time among you."

“She’s a very good long-distance horse girl.”

"So, even though Xiaohai has been recuperating for a long time and has not practiced much, if you take it lightly, you might lose, Oguruma, Kodama, and Inari."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three horse girls all looked at Xiao Haiwan with burning eyes. Xiao Haiwan's pretty face first blushed slightly, then she pursed her lips and looked back unwillingly.

Very good, morale is excellent.

After nodding secretly, Kitahara continued:
"Oguruma, Inari, you two have very little experience in this area."

"Especially Xiaolimao, you have only participated in short-distance events before, and the mile race only once. This 2000-meter practice race will be your first practice, so feel it well."

"Inari, I've discussed this with Yusuhara. You'll also be moving up to medium and long distances in the future, so you have to give it your all in this practice as well."

"I understand, Kitahara."

"no problem!"

After receiving confident answers from Oguruma and Inari, Kitahara nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.

"Very good! Let's go to the starting point and the training match is about to begin!"
