Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 123 Trip to Kyoto
Everyone agreed with the Golden Master's idea. After the call ended, An Jingzhen pondered for a moment and then video-called Northern Xuanju.

"Hello? Good evening, Xiaobei..."

Seeing a familiar face appear on the screen, Yasui Zhen was stunned after greeting him as usual.

"...Are you taking a shower?"

"Good evening, Trainer! Yeah, I just finished blow-drying my hair and you called me."

Drops of water dripped down his chin to the collar of his pajamas. Beibu Xuanju held his mobile phone in one hand and wiped his cheek with a towel in the other.

"Wait a moment, my phone is almost out of battery. Let me see where the charger is..."

The scene on the screen spun around for a while, and the girl's cheeks, flushed red by the heat from the bath, appeared again.

"It's so late, isn't the trainer still asleep?"

"Ah... I was just discussing something with President Emperor and the others..."

Looking away from the screen, Yasui Zhen rubbed his nose and said, "Wait a minute, I'll also find a charger..."

"Yeah! I'll wait for you!"

After a while...

Holding the phone connected to the charging cable, looking at Kita no Xuanju who wiped the water droplets off his face, Yasui Zhen nodded calmly and said:

"Actually, I just wanted to ask if you want to go see the Emperor enjoy the spring."

He had this idea before he heard the Golden Master mention this game.

The origin of Japan's Shining Series comes from Europe and the United States, and its overall structure is basically the same as the latter.

For example, the Classic Triple Crown series was inspired by the United Kingdom, which is also the origin of the Classic Triple Crown series.

The 2000 Guineas, the Epsom Derby and the St. Leger's Stakes, these three events took shape two centuries ago. The Epsom Derby is also the oldest derby event.

In addition to the competition structure, Japan also has its own competition culture.

For example, the eight major race walking events.

Satsuki Appreciation, Japan Derby, Chrysanthemum Appreciation, Cherry Blossom Appreciation, Oak Competition, Emperor's Spring Appreciation, Emperor's Autumn Appreciation, Arima Kinen.

Before the introduction of the international classification system, these eight events were the highest-level and most significant events in Japan, and after the classification, they naturally became G1 level.

Influenced by tradition, the official reports still include the term "Eight Major Race Walking". These competitions are more valued than other G1s and occupy a higher proportion in various evaluation systems.

From this perspective, the fact that the Emperor was "busy" playing mahjong before enjoying the spring scenery shows that the Golden Ship's strangeness is indeed well-deserved.

But putting aside her personality, this horse racing girl’s record is truly strong.

截至到现在12场冠军中包括10场重赏，10场重赏里有5场G1，这种实力说是现役最强都没什么问题。

More importantly, she has extremely obvious long-distance adaptability and top-level physical fitness.

The Chrysanthemum Festival, Arima Kinen, and Hanshin Daisho are all long-distance races that also have extremely high demands on physical fitness, especially endurance, and these are all representative victories of the Golden Boat.

Added to this is her ability to apply these talents to middle distance events.

The Satsuki Sho and Takarazuka Kinen are 2000 meters and 2200 meters respectively, and most horse girls will win with excellent cruising speed and strong finishing foot.

The Golden Ship is different. Her way of winning is "ultra-long distance sprint".

While other horse girls were conserving their energy in the middle of the race, she began to accelerate continuously and kept accelerating until she won.

Long-distance adaptability, top physical fitness, sustained sprinting, and other characteristics are exactly what the Northern Black Horse possesses.

This made Yasui feel that regardless of personality and other things, it was necessary to watch the Emperor's spring viewing event on the Golden Ship.

Through this competition, we can teach Northern Black Horse some key points of recent special training, and Northern Black Horse can also ask Golden Ship for advice on their experience in actual competition.

After asking this question, Yasui Shinya briefly expressed his thoughts.

"no problem!"

Without hesitation, Northern Black Horse excitedly agreed, "In fact, even if you hadn't told me, Trainer, I was going to ask you if you wanted to go watch the Emperor's Spring Festival together. Then we can go together.

“By the way, Crown-chan and the others will be going this time, and I’ve also invited Xingmu along.

"Oh, and Takanobu-chan, the trainer doesn't mind so many people, right?"

Yasui Shin had long known that his horse girl had a wide range of social contacts, but he was still a little surprised by the last name.

"Gao Shang...Gao Shang Junyi?" He recalled the student files he had read.

"The trainer really knows."

After laughing, Northern Xuanju explained, "Because Gao Shang-chan has been in a bad mood recently, I wanted to ask her out for some fun.

“She originally said she didn’t want to go, but then she said she would ask her sister first.

"I went with her to ask, and Jifeng-senpai was very happy. He even asked me to take good care of Gao Shang-chan in a text message.

"Oh, by the way, we've already booked the train tickets and hotel to Kyoto. Do you need me to make additional reservations for the trainer?"

"That's it..."

An Jingzhen didn't expect that Northern Xuanju would act so quickly and arrange the itinerary faster than himself, the trainer. He was surprised for a moment and quickly agreed.

"Then trouble you."

"It's not a big deal, the trainer is so kind."

Northern Xuanju was visibly delighted and said:

"Okay! Then let's book a trip to Kyoto!"

……

After becoming a trainer, the trip to Kyoto was the first time that Yasui Shin prepared to watch a game as a spectator.

When he came out of the Shinkansen, he felt a different kind of excitement.

Giant promotional posters featuring the golden ship are spread all the way from the exit to the gate, and full-length standees of the participating horse racing girls can be seen at intervals.

Many people who got off the train were not in a hurry to leave the station. They rushed to the posters and signs with their mobile phones and cameras in hand, taking excited selfies or asking their friends or even passers-by to take photos for them.

Beibu Xuanju immediately immersed herself in the excitement. Holding a cheering stick and a small cheering flag with a golden ship painted on it, she took the lead and rushed to the giant poster.

"Wow! What a big Afune-senpai! Crown-chan or Naruto-chan, who of you can take a picture for me? Trainers are also welcome!"

"Really? It's like a puppy that's been nesting for days and is suddenly let out..."

After making a funny remark, Satomi Crown took out his cell phone from his pocket.

With his usual indifferent expression on his face, Mingsheng Leidong raised the corner of his mouth when he took out his mobile phone.

"Xiaobei usually trains very hard. He probably hasn't come out to play for a long time."

"No, I took Xingmu to the amusement park last week..."

To complain again, Satomi Crown pointed the camera of his mobile phone at the Northern Black Horse who was posing in front of the poster, and glanced at the thundering sound.

"So, you often go to watch Xiaobei's training? Don't you often train together?" She said casually.

Also, the camera was pointed at the northern black colt, and the tone of its thunderous cry had slight fluctuations.

"Strength training only. Sister Qi Cao said that in this regard... I'm not as good as Xiao Bei yet, so I need to learn from her."

After Satomi Crown and Mingsheng Leidong took the photos, at Kita no Xuanju's strong request, the two of them, Satomi Kozuna and Xingmu also went over to take photos with the poster.

Even Gao Shangjunyi, who kept his head down and pinched the brim of his navy hat from beginning to end, was not spared by Beibu Xuanju.

Looking at this scene, An Jingzhen felt a warm feeling and glanced at the side.
