Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 218: Want to win the Arima Kinen in the classic year
Eating brings happiness, this kind of words... really feels like something that Oguruma would say.

Yasui really feels a bit interesting.

On weekdays, in addition to devoting himself to training, he occasionally pays attention to various interesting anecdotes circulating among the horse girls.

When it comes to eating, some rumors are particularly interesting.

It is said that in the history of Tresen Academy, there have been three famous gluttons.

Whenever these three people step into the cafeteria, all the staff from the chef to the kitchen helpers will be on high alert.

The most exaggerated time was when these three people showed up in the cafeteria at the same time, not only making all the cafeteria staff exhausted, but also clearing out all the food stocked in the warehouse.

Among these three, the one who eats the most is Oguruma.

Not only can she eat up the cafeteria's stock by herself, she is also the only horse girl at the school festival who successfully challenges "1000 servings of Wanko Soba".

The other two were Te Bie Zhou and Mi Yu, whom I had known before.

Thinking of this, An Jing was stunned.

It seemed... that he had already met and known these three famous people? He couldn't help but laugh again.

At this moment, Qingzhu recalled and said, "So that's how it happened.

"But it's true that Oguruma-senpai's cooking skills have become increasingly impressive in recent years, and many people are eager to try the food she cooks."

"Yeah, I heard that from Oguruma-senpai as well."

Beibu Xuanju quickly nodded in agreement, "But I heard from the senior that she just wanted to cook, and then she made it. As long as everyone thought it was delicious, she didn't care whether it was delicious or not."

Hearing this, An Jingzhen couldn't help but say:

"Maybe... I've tasted too many delicious foods."

"Tasted too much...?"

Beibu Xuanju looked over curiously, picking at the remaining fried rice, and Qingzhu Huiyi also cast a curious look over.

"I've heard some things, too."

Seeing this, Yasui Makoto nodded and patiently explained, "Oguruma-san owns a chain of restaurants, and I often order takeout from there.

“But she’s not actually involved in the business, it’s mainly her sister and classmate Guanghui who are in charge.

"She herself has participated in various food shows and competitive eating contests.

"Perhaps because I've eaten so many delicious foods, I naturally have a standard for what constitutes 'delicious'.

"Add to that your own talent, and with a little experimentation, it's easy to become a skilled chef."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh:
“I didn’t expect that this guy was such a legend during his service, and even after retirement, he still had the talent to become a culinary god.”

Beifang Xuanju and Qingzhu recalled that they both had a look of realization. Beifang Xuanju then asked curiously:
"I haven't heard any of this from the seniors. How did the trainer know? Oh, and Guanghui-san... is he a friend of Oguruma-san?"

"Yes, she and Oguruma-senpai are from the same period."

Yasui Makoto nodded again and said, "Her full name is Shinshin Glory, and she and Oguruma-san have been good friends at Kasamatsu.

"Her family runs a large business selling equipment for horse racing girls, so she often helps out here with the business.

"I've been in contact with her before regarding training equipment, so I know a little bit about it."

"So this is ah……"

Nodding thoughtfully, Northern Black Horse's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked expectantly, "By the way, Trainer, you don't have any plans for the afternoon, do you?"

"I'm fine, what's wrong...?"

Yasui Zhen was slightly stunned, and soon had a guess in his mind. He asked tentatively: "Do you want to take me to meet Oguruma-san?"

"That's right!" Northern Xuanju's eyes lit up with excitement, and he quickly said, "Senior Oguruma opened many chain restaurants, and I don't know when he ran away.

“It just so happens that she promised Crown-chan to help out and will be staying in Tokyo for a while.

"Hehe, I can trouble you for a moment.

"So, Trainer, please finish eating, and then we can go find her together, okay?"

She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing with eagerness as she looked at Yasui Zhen without blinking.

Looking at the energetic Northern Xuanju in front of him, Yasui couldn't help but smile.

Compared to when we first met, this horse girl has really grown a lot.

It was clearly a day off, a time to relax and unwind, but she was still preoccupied with training and competition.

Of course, being able to meet and communicate with legendary predecessors is also one of the reasons why I, as a horse girl, have an infinite yearning for running.

Moreover, whether it was Kita no Genju's previous thoughts, or his detailed discussion with Kitajima Saburo after the chrysanthemum viewing, or the recent wave of public opinion...

The next competition to participate in has been determined.

Arima Memorial.

This game is undoubtedly the most anticipated event at the end of the year, and its importance is self-evident.

This competition, like other G1 events, has requirements on the number of fans of the contestants.

Voting is still required, and only the horse girls ranked in the top ten in terms of votes will be eligible to step onto this glorious arena.

Judging from the outstanding performance of Kita no Xuanju in winning the Chrysanthemum Award, qualifying for the competition should not be a problem.

However, this also means that she will face her predecessors from the Year of the Ancient Horse for the first time.

Compared with those opponents, Northern Black Horse is not only at a clear disadvantage in terms of competition experience, but also has no advantage in physical development.

In terms of speed, she is not the best, and facing these powerful opponents, this shortcoming will be put to a great test.

Even in terms of endurance and strength, although she excels among her peers in the horse racing class, she may not necessarily have an advantage over her predecessors in the ancient horse racing class.

Of course, every classic-year horse girl faces a similar dilemma when competing in the Arima Kinen.

Otherwise, the fact that Uma Musume won the Arima Kinen Race in the classic year would not have become a legend in the horse racing world.

Coincidentally, Oguruma is one of the few horse girls who won the Arima Kinen in a classic year.

This is such a rare opportunity, I must ask her for advice.

These thoughts flashed through An Jingzhen's mind quickly, but he didn't say them out loud.

Instead, he quietly looked at Northern Xuanju who was looking expectant, and a warm smile gradually appeared on his face.

After all, even if there are many challenges ahead, they cannot be solved in a short period of time.

At the moment, the most important thing is to make Northern Xuanju happy.

"Then let's go together."

He quickly swept away the remaining omelet rice, stood up, and faced Kita no Xuanju's expectant eyes, and Yasui Shin said with a smile:
"Let's see if I have a chance to taste the delicious food of this chef."

"Yeah! I definitely will!"

Nodding without hesitation, Kita no Xuanju pulled out his phone and said excitedly, "I've been going to see Oguruma-senpai every day these days to ask for cooking advice. She must be here right now... Hey?"

After swiping the screen a few times, she looked anxious.

"Senior said she'll be busy later, so we need to hurry over there, Trainer!"
