Uma Musume no Nama no Nichijou (Horse Girl), First and foremost

"...Is there really no other way?"

"Ah, there's no good solution right now. We can only ask ourselves if we can even make it to the Chrysanthemum Award."

Yes... If something happens and current medical technology has done its best, it seems a bit too presumptuous to immediately think about whether there's any way to deal with the White Disaster.

As the trainer of the Emperor of the East Blue, how could this pure white horse girl possibly overlook the things she could do to help the Emperor...?

Central Teresen Academy, on the school road.

The pure white horse girl was wandering aimlessly. This could be considered a rehabilitation task that she needed to complete. In addition to her physical ailments, she also really needed to clear her mind.

Yes, I'm in a bad mood, but I can't show it while I'm in the hospital. I can only express these emotions after I return to Treson Academy.

After spending the day accompanying Di Bao in the hospital, I saw the dim look in his eyes, yet he was trying hard to comfort himself...

The pure white horse girl felt immense pain in her heart.

Who wins or loses doesn't matter much to her trainer; they're all racehorse girls trained by Golden Victory.

However, this situation, where someone is injured and someone is not, and it even affects their future career opportunities and performance, is a responsibility that Golden Victory must bear.

But... she really did her best.

Let's put aside whether this situation was even foreseeable...

Are we trying to stop the Emperor Treasure from debuting early?

Are you trying to stop the Emperor Treasure from running as fast as it can?

For some reason, the pure white horse girl always felt as if a pair of fateful hands were tightly gripping her neck.

As a result, even his own friends were affected to varying degrees, with Di Bao being one of them.

However, this statement only stays at the level of her intuition and has no evidence. If she were to tell outsiders, it would be nothing more than conjecture.

After finishing their walk, as Golden Victory was about to head back to his trainer's quarters, halfway there, a familiar voice reached Pure White Horse Girl's ears:

"Hey, isn't this White Disaster? Long time no see!"

That was the familiar, robust old man wearing sunglasses; he was none other than Miura Bourbon's biological father and trainer, the legendary trainer, the devil trainer Kurozuma.

In the spring, besides taking Meipu Bourbon abroad for further studies and academic discussions, this demanding trainer also seemed to be extremely busy accelerating his research progress in various aspects after obtaining his own funding.

Even after Miura Bourbon returned to Japan and rejoined the Golden Victory team, he had no recollection of ever seeing the other player.

"Yeah, it really has been a long time... I missed you so much, Old Black!"

Kuronuma: "???"

What's wrong with this guy? Did he forget to take his medicine?

Kuronuma's sudden enthusiasm made him immediately think that the pure white horse girl in front of him was having a mental breakdown.

The problem is that, judging from the other party's behavior pattern, it doesn't seem to be much different from their usual eccentric behavior.

"Hahaha, I never thought that one day I would be remembered by you. There must be something going on, right? It has nothing to do with Bourbon."

"No, Little Bo Pang is doing very well. We do have something here that we need to ask you, Old Hei. Why don't you come over to my place and we can talk?"

If we're talking about the problem of the East China Sea Emperor, and domestic medical methods currently offer no better solutions...

So, what about domestic research methods?

He might even be a legendary trainer who studies medicine and recently went abroad for academic discussions.

It's uncertain whether Kurozuma can help, and most are pessimistic, but Golden Victory's intuition tells her that perhaps this old man can give her a pleasant surprise.

Oh right, speaking of surprises...

"Hey? Old Black, who's this little pony lady next to you? Is she Bourbon's sister or one of your other daughters?"

Her red eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked at the horse girl in front of her.

It was a short brown that was even deeper than chestnut brown, with one of its strands, which was somewhat flowing yet three-dimensional, standing out particularly in Golden Victory's view.

In terms of height, she appears to be a young, underdeveloped woman, only about 1.3 to 1.4 meters tall, definitely not fully grown yet.

The most interesting thing was the other person's red eyes, which were similar to his own. While Golden Victory was observing him with great interest, the other person was also observing Golden Victory, with a faint but somewhat interested smile on the corner of his mouth.

Hmm...it feels strangely familiar.

Chapter 237 Elisako and the Emperor of the East Sea

The atmosphere between the two was pleasant; even before they had exchanged a single word, they felt a strange sense of interest in each other.

The problem is that Pure White Horse Girl's words just now directly angered Kurozuma.

"Damn it! What the hell is this?! Bai Zai, if you can't speak properly, then don't spout nonsense!"

He was so enraged by the other person's words that he was practically ready to punch the guy in front of him with his cane.

"Hey, my bad, my bad. So, who is this person to you? You can't exactly say you picked up a kid while you were passing by, can you?"

"She can be considered a true genius. Of course, in some ways, Bai Zai, you are also a genius."

"I think you don't need me to introduce you, just do it yourself."

Oh? It's rare to find a guy that Old Hei can trust so much.

After all, in principle, such introductions should be made by acquaintances first, then by elders. Even if the issue of the other party being an adult is taken into consideration, the first step is still to follow this behavioral pattern.

After all, in the eyes of elders, young people will never be able to introduce themselves well.

Unless... the other party has this habit and insistence, or Kuronuma has already reached the point where he subconsciously trusts the other party to do everything well.

Before the two horse girls even exchanged a single word, Golden Victory had already developed a strong interest in each other.

"Hello, Lady Pure White Horse Girl, Legendary Racehorse Girl Golden Victory Senpai."

"Nice to meet you. My name is Airi Soko. Please take care of me."

When facing Golden Victory, this little pony girl maintained a tone of great interest in her senior. It should have been the perspective of an idol fan, but for some reason, Golden Victory always felt that the other party was treating her like a research project.

Emmm... Old Black is taking the blame! Who told you to come with Alice?

"Oh, nice to meet you. By the way, what brings you all to my dorm today?"

Sensing something was off, she still spoke to Alice with a bit of sincerity, since they weren't very familiar with each other, and Golden Victory mostly talked to Kuronuma.

"Oh, let me introduce this little pony to you. Aren't you short of talent? This is the one."

"Oh? So this little pony girl is a support staff member, right?"

Upon hearing Kuronuma's words, the pure white horse girl immediately spoke up to confirm whether the other party was a logistics horse girl.

To be honest, Gold Victory doesn't really need any more Uma Musume (a popular Japanese horse racing game), and they might not even be interested in someone who is a genius.

Even though Alice looks young and has a long time before her debut, I think Golden Victory will definitely have other options by then.

Of course, I have to give Kuronuma face, and I also feel that I have a certain affinity with him, so I can observe him a little more when we chat later.

However, the old man's answer to the question posed by the pure white horse girl was rather puzzling:

"Hmm...I guess so."

"What do you mean 'can be considered'? You're being so vague, are you even a researcher?"

Hearing this evasive response inexplicably reminded Golden Victory of the diagnosis report from the racehorse veterinarian, which slightly ignited the pure white horse girl's anger, prompting her to respond in a less-than-friendly manner.

Kuronuma was slightly taken aback by the direct retort, but after a brief pause, the devilish trainer nodded: "The main reason is that it's not easy to explain. Since we're going to start chatting anyway, why don't we go inside first?"

"I am the owner of the house, but what you said makes some sense, Lao Hei. Let's go in and sit down and chat."

......

After inviting the person to his trainer's dormitory, Kuronuma did not answer the previous question. Instead, he took the initiative to ask Golden Victory if he needed to talk to him about something.

"Speak, Bai Zai. What did you say you were planning to come to me about? Since you've been invited by the host, I'll see if I can help with your problem."

Both Golden Victory and Kuronuma started drinking coffee. The former was having trouble concentrating due to lack of sleep lately, and drinking coffee was better than feeling drowsy and dizzy occasionally. As for Kuronuma, it was just his habit to have a cup of coffee while chatting with Han Chinese.

As for the little pony girl Eliseko next to her, she was forced to drink coffee because the pure white pony girl was too lazy to prepare anything else.

"The problem is actually quite simple. It's about what happened at the Japan Tournament. The news hasn't come out yet, but it'll probably be impossible to keep quiet about it in a few hours. To put it simply, the East Sea Emperor's leg fractured because she played the game too early and her leg wasn't fully developed."

"As for taking the initiative to come looking for us, well, if we hadn't seen Old Hei before, we really wouldn't have thought of it. We can only say we were lucky, and we still had some hope."

"It's probably just a coincidence, but it's also good that we can deal with things on both sides at the same time."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Kuronuma pondered for a moment, but he didn't immediately offer a solution.

After all, if you're injured, you should see a doctor. Seeking help from researchers raises some subtle issues...

After the pure white horse girl finished adding the details, the devilish trainer couldn't help but sigh:

"The Emperor of the East Sea... indeed, every advantage has its disadvantage. Even for a child who has worked so hard in every aspect, this kind of change is indeed a bit too cruel for her."

The four to six months of rest plus a month of recovery period, not to mention whether it can be shortened, the fact that her own progress was slow during this period compared to the rapid progress of her opponents was enough to make her despair.

Even though the Eastern Sea Emperor's previous victories were not achieved through overwhelming strength, but rather through tactics and luck.

The problem is that if those racehorse girls had adapted to the racing style of this new era in the past six months, then the so-called strengths of the Imperial Horse would definitely have been completely defeated in the competition at that time.

"So, White Disaster, you feel guilty, which is why you're asking if I have any chance to help the Emperor of the East Sea? Oh, it sounds like Little Chestnut Hat is just a pitiful child that nobody cares about."

After hearing all the news, instead of offering any possible solutions or even giving a direction, he first asked the pure white horse girl in front of him this question.

Perhaps because these were all things that happened at the Japan Darby tournament, Golden Victory disregarded what Representative Chiaki had told him earlier and told Kuronuma about it as well, even though there was a seemingly talented or even genius, Eliseko, next to him.

"My performance before the match and the tactical suggestions were related to me, but the outcome of the match was not related to me. My physical condition after the match was even more related to me."

"So it was my fault for not being able to discover the fundamental problems in Oguri's running style before the race; and it was also my dereliction of duty as a trainer to not be able to continue running healthily after the race and instead force her to go into a period of rest."

After clearly outlining his responsibilities as a trainer to the devilish trainer in front of him, the old man's face broke into a slightly amused smile.

"Hey, you're both my children, and you're not lacking in achievements. Others might not understand these things, but I... I can at least try to understand."

"To be honest, this kind of problem would be inevitable for any trainer with slightly less experience, there's nothing we can do about it."

Well, he may talk about it and understand it, but he doesn't have any practical experience with it.

After all, before the birth of Miura Bourbon, Saima Musume was merely an experimental subject for Kuronuma to practice his training theories.

His words may sound ruthless, cold-blooded, and even contemptible, but in his view, researchers must have this mindset; otherwise, if they soften their hearts, the progress and results of the experiment will be greatly affected.
