Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 122 You see, she never gave up
Hearing the words of the East China Sea Emperor, he was shocked and stopped for a moment.

"Northern Black Horse..."

She looked at the Emperor of the East Sea, "What kind of horse girl is she in the eyes of the president?"

"…Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

Surprised, the Emperor of the East China Sea quickly laughed.

"Xiao Bei's words... should be described as being like the sun, or a flame that never goes out."

Da Zhenzhan pondered for a moment, "Sounds like... a warm and cheerful personality?"

“He’s also very kind and sensible.”

He added with a smile, gratitude and reminiscence flashing in his eyes, as the Emperor of the East China Sea reached into the collar of his school uniform and pulled out an amulet.

The edges of the indigo silk cloth were covered with fuzzy threads and the stitches were very thick, showing obvious signs of repeated revisions, but the stitching was very tight.

As if they don't know how to write Chinese characters yet, the "御" embroidered on the front is in katakana, but every stroke of this character and the character "守" is quite neat.

I vaguely felt that it took great shock to make this amulet, but it was made with great care.

But she didn't understand what the Emperor of the East China Sea meant.

"This is……?"

"That was the day I first submitted my retirement application to the president. I remember it very clearly."

The Emperor of the East China Sea looked out the window at the playground of Tresen Academy. Under the orange-red light, there were figures sweating on the playground.

“It was also when I walked onto the playground that I felt for the first time that I didn’t have to run anymore.

"That day, we went to the park, caught dolls, bought new clothes, sang karaoke, took headshots, and rode toy cars...

"For the first time, I realized how long a day could be."

She withdrew her gaze and looked at her hand, stroking the uneven edges of the amulet and chuckled.

"It was around this time when I returned to the school gate. I saw Xiaobei squatting there alone, just like me who had had a great day of fun.

“At that time, I did not accept this amulet.

"Later, when I found this amulet in the dormitory and in the anonymous bouquets I received at the hospital, I also found a way to return it.

“Of course I accepted it in the end, at my first retirement show.

“You see, she never gave up.

"So, she's still someone who will never give up. Maybe she doesn't even know how to spell the word 'give up'."

The office fell into silence for a long time. The only sound that could be heard was the faint sound of people running outside the window.

"So, during the training match, I... don't need to worry too much about whether I will hurt her or not."

The silence was suddenly broken, and Da was shocked and walked back to his desk.

Originally still immersed in memories, the Emperor of the East China Sea did not react for a moment to what was meant by "Shocking".

A few seconds later...

"So... you agreed?!" the Emperor of the East China Sea said in surprise.

Browsing the documents on the desk, Da Jingzhan answered irrelevantly: "Actually, my sister also asked me to do this."

"My sister..." The Emperor of the East Sea quickly thought of a horse girl, "Kuroshio?"

"After my sister retired, she worked as a training instructor at the elementary school where Xuanju studied in the north." Da Zhenhan nodded.

Similar to trainers, instructors are responsible for training at Tresen Academy.

The latter teaches the basics, while advanced and targeted training is the job of the former.

"I know that," the Emperor of the East Sea nodded, then shook his head. "But from what you said, Xiaobei and Sister Ling seem to have a very good relationship. I didn't expect that."

"My sister brought her to our house."

Da Zhenhan talked about a past event, "But she was still young at that time, and I didn't like meeting strangers, so I didn't go out to see her.

"My sister likes her very much and often brings her some konpeito, lemon soda and so on.

"I took her fishing on a school outing once, and I remember that dinner was fish soup."

"That's it..."

The Emperor of the East China Sea nodded in understanding. "But if your sister has any requests..." She hesitated. Dashock understood what the Emperor of the East China Sea meant.

"The president probably receives this kind of request quite often, right?"

Seeing the Emperor of the East Sea nod, she sighed silently, “For horse girls like us, this kind of thing is inevitable.

“It’s only natural that I can share my experiences with the younger generation.

“Our predecessors did the same thing back then.”

A figure with a majestic temperament and doting eyes appeared in his mind, and the Emperor of the East China Sea nodded unconsciously.

"Indeed, I used to run side by side with the president quite a bit..."

“It’s just that with the student union work, a lot of things can’t be done as I wish.”

The shocking voice was originally calm and indifferent, but now it gradually became indifferent.

"Besides, without future help...it's actually meaningless."

"So," the East Sea Emperor pondered, "you're now convinced that Xiaobei has sufficient talent, and that's why you agreed?"

Unlike before, Da Zhenhan was silent for a while this time, and then he spoke with a hesitant tone:

“To be precise, I want to understand something.

“Before Northern Black Colt made her debut, my sister was always worried about her future competitions and asked me about it.

"I've read her enrollment file, and to be honest..."

Da Zhen shook his head, “Based on that level, it’s hard to imagine that she can achieve the current results.

“Perhaps it’s because she hasn’t shown her talent in the past. This is the case with many horse racing girls who mature late.

"But if I remember correctly, her trainer...seems a little unusual?"

The Emperor of the East China Sea understood it all at once, and also had a guess.

"So what you want to know is how Trainer Yasui usually trains Xiaobei, and..."

Glancing at the table, she picked up the report on the Dubai race.

"Want to see if he's interested in these?"

……

When talking about Makoto Yasui and overseas competitions, the Emperor of the East China Sea and Da Zhenhan talked for a long time in the office, and also organized a small video conference to confirm the arrangements for the training match with Makoto Yasui and Golden Master.

There is naturally no problem with Yasui Zhen.

After learning that two Triple Crown pony girls could come to assist with the training match, he put together a draft plan that night.

While guiding Northern Xuanju on the basis of their new special training these days, he also gradually optimized the training details.

However, during the video call, the Golden Master made a time request.

"I'll go to the training match, but give me a week first."

On the screen, the horse racing girl with long golden hair covered her forehead with her hands, looking like she had a headache.

The background behind her looked like the interior of a chess and card room, and over her shoulder one could see the figures of two or three horse girls.

The horse girls gathered around a table. One of them had long silver-gray hair and was very tall. It was the Golden Ship.

Judging from the clattering sounds and excited shouts coming from the other side of the table, Huang Jinchuan and the others were definitely playing mahjong.

Amid the background sound of mahjong tiles clacking on the table, veins seemed to bulge on the Golden Master's forehead.

"I know what you're thinking. The truth is... as you can see."

"A guy who's going to attend the Emperor's Spring Festival Gala next week, while his opponents are preparing for the match with all their might, is...

"Playing mahjong leisurely and leisurely."

As soon as the Golden Master finished speaking, excited sounds came from the other side of the mahjong table.

"Rong! Four assassins riding alone! Tell us everything!"

In a flash, there are complaints of dissatisfaction.

"Hey! What do you mean by leisurely? Do you understand the mystery of my type?!"
