Good Opera seems to have a different feel to it at this moment. In the past, Good Opera, although powerful, lacked majesty. But now, as she sits here, a natural air of composure arises, allowing her to calmly cross her legs in this position.
"Perfect!"
Yayoi Akikawa was the first to cheer, leading the applause for the birth of the new student council president. Soon, everyone in the office was giving a sincere round of applause to congratulate the great opera.
"Your Majesty? Why are you crying?" McQueen noticed the Emperor's expression and quickly asked.
"Waaaaah—I can't help it!" The emperor clapped his hands and cried like a child, saying, "From now on, I can no longer call the president (Rudol's symbol) 'President'! The president has become a good opera student, but the president in my heart is gone, waaaaah..."
"What are you saying, Your Majesty? I've always been here." Rudolf, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "You're right, from now on we can't call me 'Chairman' anymore. But perhaps we can try some other titles?"
"Your Majesty, from now on, why don't you try calling me Senior Rudolf?"
"But given our relationship, there's no need to be so formal. Why don't you just call me Sister Rudolph?"
"Huh? Is that alright?" Upon hearing this, the Emperor of the East Sea's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately stopped crying.
After receiving a nod of approval from Rudolf, Rudolf said, "Of course, why don't you give it a try, Your Majesty?"
“Well, Sister Rudolph—”
"Ughhhhh! No, no! This is so embarrassing!" In just a second, before the Emperor of the East Sea could even utter a sound, he instinctively covered his face, blushing, and shrank behind Jin Lang, pacing back and forth in small steps.
After a few light laughs from the crowd, QiCao stepped forward and said, "Bai Ren, Maru Zen-senpai, and I, along with the president... no, Rudolf, we will all do our best to assist Opera in familiarizing itself with student council affairs."
"Of course, this period of time will not last long. After about one or two years, once new student council members have been recruited, our work will be completely over."
"As for the other student council positions... I'll be frank here. After discussing it, we all agreed to prioritize the members of the 'Miracle' team. If any of you want to join the student council, you can announce your application after you've all passed the Classic Year."
"For example, if you, a renowned student, are willing to join the student union now, we will give priority to your situation and arrange a suitable position for you."
"Sigh, well, I don't think I'm quite suitable..." Nu Tao hadn't expected the Qi Gai to immediately bring up himself. Although Nu Tao's expression showed some interest, he still said softly:
"And I also want to win a few more games for the trainers, at least... next year, right?"
"It's alright, it's already very good that you have this intention." Qi Cao didn't force Nu Tao to make a choice now. When her gaze swept over the others, she found that many of the horse girls had shown interest in student council affairs. However, they were either in the new horse year or the classic year, and were at the peak of their careers, so it was really not suitable for them to come to the student council.
But at least everyone was interested, which pleased QiCao. It seemed that everyone in the Miracle Team was very interested in these positions.
"...Speaking of which, I haven't seen Naze since I came back."
At that moment, while everyone was still laughing and chatting, Wada finally noticed that the team's other trainer hadn't arrived yet, and asked in confusion:
"Isn't Nase at the academy? Where did she go?"
"...Actually, a few days ago, Trainer Naze had already stopped coming to the team very often." After exchanging glances, it was Imai who took the initiative to speak to Wada:
"She was actually quite conflicted about whether or not to come see you. Yesterday I even asked her if she wanted to come pick you up at the airport, but she politely declined."
“Wada-kun, I think you probably still have something to say to her, right? It’s getting late, and if nothing unexpected happens, Trainer Nase is still awake. Why don’t you go to her dorm and find her?”
"..." Wada remained silent for a long while after hearing this, finally turning his gaze to Good Opera. Good Opera smiled and nodded, as always allowing Wada to make his own choice.
“Go ahead, Long Er. Perfect timing. I also have something I want to say to Nu Tao.”
"Guys, could you give us some privacy? This is a small issue within our team."
Chapter 405: Wada and Naze Fumino's Long-Awaited Reunion
At night, in Naze Fumino's own dormitory, Naze Fumino, who had left the team and made up her mind to start her own business, was still looking for a suitable role as a racehorse girl, but it seemed that she had encountered a little trouble.
"The racehorse girls of this era have it tough too. Most of them are already scared when they hear that we are going to compete against the racehorse girls of the 'Miracle' team."
"After all, there have been two previous examples." Super Little Bay was also in the same room as Naise Fumino. The gentle, motherly racehorse girl brewed a cup of hot tea for her trainer, then sat down opposite her and said:
"The new generation of racehorse girls in this era all grew up under the pressure of the 'Miracle' team. Even the president was defeated. Not every racehorse girl can muster the courage to say that she can definitely surpass that 'Emperor'."
"And you, the trainer, have just chosen to become a trainer again and have already set such a big goal. Of course, it's hard for most kids to believe that."
Super Little Bay wasn't too surprised by her choice of trainer. Although Fumino Naze hadn't officially announced her departure from Team Miracle, her goal as a trainer was very clear: to cultivate a racehorse girl who wouldn't tarnish Team Miracle's glorious past. And without a doubt, any racehorse girl with that kind of talent could be considered an exceptional individual.
However, not every racehorse girl believes she has the qualifications, and even if she does, Fumino Nase may not think they have such talent. Many things need to be considered comprehensively.
At least so far, Fumino Naze has not found a child she considers to be exceptionally talented, at least not to the extent of a super small bay.
"It looks like we still have a long way to go, Little Bay." Naze Fumino smiled helplessly at Super Little Bay. "It will be hard to find a racehorse girl like you again."
“But I wasn’t that outstanding at first, trainer.” Little Bay smiled gently and said, “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be the way I am today. Back then, everyone called me ‘glass legs’.”
"Many children are like that. Take opera and the Golden Master, for example. They weren't always that good at horse racing, but their achievements have clearly proven their worth. Their talents will only be noticed by a few."
"I'm a similar example, Trainer, except my talent isn't as strong as theirs. But I think you might be able to change your strategy, after all, not every child is an emperor of the East Blue."
The East Sea Emperor represents a symbol, a symbol of extraordinary talent that many recognized from the very beginning. However, in reality, compared to the newly debuted East Sea Emperor, the two representative figures, Good Opera and Golden Master, were previously unknown, and their talents, lineage, or personality were even belittled.
But will their current achievements be less than those of the future Emperor of the East Sea? At least for now, it seems extremely difficult for the Emperor of the East Sea to surpass the two women's achievements. He is only just getting started, and many things are still uncertain.
But after saying all that, Super Little Bay is actually just suggesting that Fumino Naze go and discover those children whose talents have not yet been revealed. Perhaps not every one of them will be a great opera singer or a golden master, but perhaps... they also have talents that have been discovered?
"Besides, Trainer, don't you really like that kid named Silent Suzuka? I think she seems to have similar thoughts. I think you could give it a try!"
“Little Bay…” When Naze Fumino heard Super Little Bay’s teasing words, she didn’t know how to respond. Of course, she knew that Little Bay was joking, but she had to admit that the joke had hit her right in the heart.
But... she still couldn't do such a thing. She had seen how much effort and dedication Okino had put into Silent Suzuka; he cherished her dearly, and Naise Fumino couldn't bring herself to do something like stealing someone else's love.
But... what about the other children's talents? Naze Fumino didn't think her judgment was as discerning as Wada's. If she were presented with the best operas and golden masters of the past, she would find it hard to say how powerful their talents were. Therefore, Naze Fumino thought her judgment was inferior to that of Wada and Ikezoe, who had inspired the two girls' talents.
But she doesn't plan to ask the three members of the team for help anymore. She is also a dignified trainer, and there are some things she has to do herself.
"Knock knock knock." At this moment, a knocking sound suddenly rang out, and soon, that familiar voice that made even Naise Fumino slightly startled also sounded:
"Nase, are you inside?"
"W-Wada?"
However, due to some reasons of her own, Naze Fumino, who did not go to pick up the girl at the airport that day, became extremely flustered after hearing Wada's voice.
She subconsciously closed the roster in her hand, then, seemingly confused, began to straighten her hair, which she had neglected to comb recently, and the wrinkles in her clothes. However, in her haste, Super Little Bay smiled slightly and said:
"Trainer Hotan? Please come in, the door isn't locked."
"Wait! The small bay—"
"Click".
However, Naze Fumino failed to stop Super Little Bay. She only saw the door slowly open, and the young face that had been echoing in her mind for the past few months appeared before her once again.
However, for some reason, while Naze Fumino was initially nervous and unsure of what to do, she unexpectedly calmed down when Wada stood in front of her... simply gazing at him serenely.
"--Well then, trainer, I won't bother you any longer~"
Super Little Bay herself is very good at reading the room. She knew that if she stayed here, it would only make her trainers uncomfortable. It would be better to give them some private space so they could have a proper conversation.
As for the outcome... at least Super Little Bay feels that her trainer will have a satisfactory result, whatever that result may be, at least she can be at peace with it.
After Super Little Bay left at the opportune moment, only Wada and Naze Fumino remained in the room. Naze Fumino nervously fiddled with her hair, her expression somewhat unnatural, and said:
"...Now that you're back, let's find a place to sit, Hotan."
"Now that you know I'm back, why didn't you come to see me?" Wada quickly sat down in the spot that had been in the tiny bay, his expression somewhat serious as he asked, "Nase, are you... afraid to see me?"
"After all, you are a married man in name only. It wouldn't be appropriate for a single female trainer like me to meet with you again."
Naze Fumino herself didn't know why she said those words, and even if she did, given her personality, she should have said them in a very calm tone.
But now... for some reason, she felt she couldn't control the bitterness in her voice.
Since that day, at the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix awards ceremony, when Good Opera confessed and proposed to Wada in front of everyone, Naze Fumino had actually made up her mind to leave the team.
However, she hesitated to make this decision. Perhaps she was waiting for Wada to return so she could ask him what he thought, whether he had accepted the opera's proposal, and... what his opinion of the opera was.
But when that day came, Naze Fumino herself didn't have the courage to see Wada... Perhaps she felt that she didn't have the courage to seek that answer, because she knew what kind of answer she would receive.
That's why she didn't dare to see him. But now it seems she has no choice but to see him again. Wada knows very well that some things must be put to rest.
"So, Hotan... do you feel happy with your opera now?"
"—Of course, Nase, I will never regret this decision."
Wada clearly understood what Naze Fumino meant, and smilingly suppressing his guilt, he said some words that were quite hurtful to Naze Fumino:
"Just like I've never regretted meeting you, Nase."
Chapter 406: In the end, she still chose to be the one who steals someone else's love.
“…Is that so?” Naze Fumino seemed to understand the meaning behind Wada's words, slowly closing her eyes and saying with a faint smile:
"...Then I'm relieved."
Then I can let go of all of this with peace of mind, and just consider it a rare one-sided wishful thinking on my part.
"You're a good man, Hotan. You're probably the best man I know."
"Are you only going to introduce male trainers who are less skilled than you to your father?" Wada teased. He understood what Naise Fumino meant, but there were some things he should pretend not to know.
He simply couldn't ignore what happened during the raging storm, but with Fumino Naise... at least, he could use this slightly cruel method to give her a better future.
“I think you could show some other things to Mr. Nase… Look, I brought this for you.”
"This is..." Naze Fumino slowly took the thinly wrapped email and asked with some curiosity.
"—It's an acceptance letter from the Central Academy of Horse Racing Girls in Paris. I recommended you to them there," Wada said with a smile to Nase Fumino.
“I told them that all my skills were taught to me by you, Naise. You have helped me a lot. Without you, neither I nor Good Opera could have reached the world stage.”
"Many of our relationships were arranged by you, and also with the TV station... Naise, I know that you joined the TV station hoping they would write you a letter of introduction so you could study abroad, but that dream seems to have been shattered after you met us."
"This... is my way of making it up to you. Nase, you've helped me a lot, and now it's my turn to help you out."
“It’s impossible for me and Good Opera to leave Japan—at least the central government certainly doesn’t want us to leave. She needs to sit high on the throne, and Nase, your talent and ability are greater than mine. Perhaps, giving this spot to you will allow you to go further.”
"...Thank you, Wada."
However, this time, faced with Wada's kindness, or perhaps it was to make amends and offer comfort? Naze Fumino didn't act coy and chose to accept his kindness.
Rather than being a gesture of goodwill, it's more accurate to say that this was Wada giving Nase Fumino a "breakup ticket."
From then on, Fumino Naze will study in Paris for at least three years. After those three years, it is likely that all that will remain between her and Wada is their past friendship, which they can still talk about. This is Wada's choice, and Fumino Naze has also chosen to accept it.
“So, after the Japan Cup ends, perhaps you and Wangzu will go to Paris together.” Naze Fumino Wada accepted the suggestion and said with a smile:
"I've already spoken to the noble family. If you encounter any difficulties there, you can go to her. She will do her best to help you solve any problems."
“You can also bring a racehorse girl with you—of course, if you have someone in mind, this is a green light given to us by the central government in Paris.”
