Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

However, precisely because of this, Kitahara's first reaction upon seeing this training plan was concern that it would harm Itsai, who had a close relationship with Oguri Hat.

"Isn't there still half a month until the derby? There's no need to rush, is there? I heard that Stardust Illusion just gained an advantage in the Tokyo Mile, which means her chances of winning the derby aren't low..."

The man began to ramble on and on, trying to persuade her, but Toyama Hikari ignored him for the time being, instead casting her questioning gaze at the Stardust Illusion.

What about at night?

Stardust Illusion reached out and swiped the tablet screen, only to find that there was no further content, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"...Huh?"

He had originally intended to emphasize the theory about horse racing girls, but then Kitahara heard Stardust Illusion's question. He stared at the girl in disbelief, then tentatively replied:

"...Are you asking about relaxing activities for tonight? Would you like to visit some attractions around Kasamatsu? We have set up many memorial sites and activities related to Oguri Hat here."

"Well……"

Stardust Illusion looked at the man beside him, carefully considered his words, and then spoke:

"We have training in the evenings. If you absolutely have to attend a visit or something, then maybe take a day... no, half a day?"

"Huh? Training tonight?"

Kitahara turned his head again and stared at the training schedule on the tablet for a long time, trying to confirm whether he had misread something.

However he viewed it, the schedule was utterly heartless, leaving Stardust Illusion with less than three hours of rest from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Now this racehorse girl is saying she wants to train at night...

What does this mean, a fully automated training robot?

"Alright, Kitahara-kun."

Hikari Toyama also noticed the man's incredible nature, but she really couldn't explain much about the special constitution of the Stardust Illusion.

So he took out a very old-looking notebook from his pocket, with even the edges curled up, and handed it over:

"The training of Stardust Illusion was discussed by me and the other trainers, and it has been approved by the Treson Academy Student Council, so there's no need to worry too much."

"This notebook contains Tojo Hana's training notes. You can take a look at it when you have some free time."

Taking the booklet, Kitahara wanted to continue discussing the impact of training intensity on racehorse girls, but upon hearing the name Tojo Hana, he immediately flipped through it in disbelief:

"Higashi, Tojo Hana is that one—"

"Yes, Tojo Hana is currently Team Rigil's trainer and also the top student at Treson Academy... though of course, she's not as good as me."

Although she knew how useful Tojo Hana's fame was in the public eye, Toyama Hikari quickly added a self-praise after saying that.

However, neither Stardust Illusion, who had already begun walking towards the track, nor Kitahara, who was completely absorbed in writing notes, noticed her strategic maneuvering; it was like casting pearls before swine.

Standing on the slightly worn-out dirt track, Stardust Illusion checked the condition of his full load-bearing equipment and running shoes, then put his hands on his hips and took a deep breath.

With my eyes closed, I can almost picture Oguri Hat training and competing on this track.

Then, a slow smile spread across his lips:

"Alright, let's start training anyway. As for tonight's plans, that's up to you, Toyama..."

"But now, my Neon Debit Training, belonging to Stardust Illusion, has officially begun!"

Chapter 269 The chestnut hat was layered on top of me (not really)

The sun rises in the east.

A cool breeze blew across the running track beside the riverbank, causing the river water to ripple gently.

Some people dressed in sportswear are running along the riverbank track for morning exercise, facing the rising sun.

Today is a rare day off, and this office worker got up early and arrived at the riverside park for morning exercise half an hour ago.

At this moment, he was sitting on a bench provided for passersby, slightly out of breath, preparing to rest before ending his morning exercise.

Suddenly, a rapid whooshing sound came from the end of the runway, followed by heavy footsteps like the pounding of a drum.

Office workers looked in the direction of the sound and could only vaguely make out a few figures in the far distance.

However, in the blink of an eye, the small, blue figure at the very front of the bridge at the far end of the riverbank instantly transformed into lightning and rushed towards them.

The sprint was so rapid that it even carried a strong wind, which lifted up the sand and stones on the riverbank.

The office worker quickly reached out to shield himself, his body instinctively leaning back as he tried to avoid the figure rushing towards him like a dump truck.

"Ha—! Wait, Xing... wait...!"

Before the office worker could even fully raise their hand, they felt the gust of wind in front of them had stopped, and faint panting sounds could be heard from a little further away.

Once things calmed down a bit, the office worker figured out what had just happened. This road had been renovated by Kasamatsu Local Academy, and a special track had been set up for horse racers. The commotion was clearly caused by a horse racer running by...

"Toyama, you're too slow."

The racehorse girl in front of him, whose tall stature made one wonder if she could even run properly, stood there complainingly, frowning as she looked back.

Behind her, another woman, dressed in the same tracksuit as the Anis Wind God, was already out of breath, drenched in sweat, and looked like she was about to die from exhaustion.

"I feel that the track here has a very good feel to it, with a slightly soft surface, which makes running easier... But I think you really should take a rest."

Stardust Illusion shrugged, took a few steps forward, and helped the nearly exhausted Toyama Scarlet up. Looking at her dead-dog state, he knew that if she continued running, she would definitely faint.

Hikari Toyama didn't stand on ceremony. She gripped the wrist that was supporting her tightly with one hand, her legs trembling as she desperately gasped for breath to calm her lungs, which felt as if she had swallowed a mouthful of charcoal.

After a long while, she finally calmed down a bit and gritted her teeth, cursing angrily:

"...Drink, drink, drink... Damn it, I forgot about that... I should have had Ennis double-check it...!"

Yes, the reason why the Toyama Crimson Club ran in such a mess is that they forgot to bring their usual running companion: a balance bike (the same model as the Little Gold Ship).

She had actually discovered this last night when she was preparing for her morning exercise, but finding a specially modified hoverboard that could catch up with the Stardust Illusion monster was no easy task.

So today she tried physical running a little...

I almost died running here!

Stardust Illusion doesn't seem to care about the trainer behind him at all. It's one thing to run fast, but now it's giving him a look that says, "Why aren't you eating my tail?"

Hikari Toyama smiled with sudden relief.

"Shall we continue running?"

Stardust Illusion, seeing that the trainer had calmed down, finally released its grip and eagerly looked ahead at the riverside track:

"According to what Kitahara said yesterday, there should still be 5-6 kilometers to go... How about I run first, and Toyama, you can slowly follow?"

"What are you talking about? Don't look down on me!"

Clenching her teeth, Hikari Toyama felt as if a new power was bursting forth from her body. The moment Stardust Illusion started running forward, she took off almost simultaneously with it, relying on her thorough understanding of Stardust Illusion and her theoretical knowledge.

The two continued their morning run one after the other, and the trainer following behind the horse girl even unleashed an aura no less impressive than that of Stardust Illusion...

After my morning run.

Kitahara, who had prepared breakfast on two large carts, stared in disbelief at the Stardust Illusion entering the training ground. She carried the unconscious Toyama Hiiro into the training ground with one hand.

Higanbana Toyama was carried on her shoulder like a sack, with some vomit residue still stuck to the corners of her mouth. She grunted every now and then, looking utterly disheveled.

After placing the trainer, who had been running himself unconscious, on a reclining chair, Stardust Illusion continued pacing around without immediately sitting down to eat at the food cart.

After all, Super Creek reminded himself again before getting on the bus that if he couldn't relax with a massage after extreme training, he had to do some gentle exercise like this to prevent lactic acid buildup in his body.

"Miss Toyama...is she alright?"

After resting for a while while watching the stardust illusion, he plopped down in front of the breakfast cart, picked up a large bowl of fried noodles and a plate of potato pancakes, and started eating heartily. Kitahara stood to the side, somewhat curious, and asked:

"It's nothing, just exhaustion. I've given Toyama some salt water and energy drinks, he should be fine in a bit."

With its mouth full of food, Stardust Illusion could only mumble its answers to Kitahara's questions.

Stardust Illusion also talked with the middle-aged man in front of her who seemed a little too curious for a while, and learned that he was the one who had dug up Oguri Hat from here back then and had fully supported her ideals.

Out of respect and gratitude, she treated Kitahara very intimately, acting as if she already considered him a friend, and answering all his questions, even though he was a curious child.

"She really went for a morning run with you, to this extent?"

Kitahara looked at Toyama Hikari, who was still slumped on the recliner and hadn't woken up yet, and felt a bit of admiration for this senior who was almost ten years younger than him.

Running alongside racehorses on foot throughout the morning?

Just thinking about how I used to run with Oguri Hat when she was doing her morning exercises here back then...

Kitahara instinctively shook his head. Of course, he knew that the best approach was to keep up with his assigned racehorse girl at such close range and record her physical condition at any time, but it was simply impossible to do!

However, seeing Stardust Illusion happily eating its breakfast, he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

Back when she and Oguri Hat were struggling together in Kasamatsu, she would eat anything with great relish, watching Oguri Hat eat was like watching her own daughter.

Now, in the blink of an eye, Oguri Hattori has retired, and the second generation of Oguri Hattori is already starting to show their talent, while he is still stuck at Kasamatsu Academy and unable to get into Chuo...

"Kitahara, what are you doing?"

The racehorse girl in front of him had stood up at some point and was looking at him with a puzzled expression from the edge of the track.

In Kitahara Yutaka's eyes, he seemed to see again that bright-eyed, spirited girl with the gossamer feathers:

"Little chestnut hat..."

He muttered to himself in disbelief.

Chapter 270 As a racehorse girl, of course I have to train in Ripple Qi Gong.

"Little chestnut hat?"

The Stardust Illusion tilted its head, its two ears slowly turning, revealing its confusion.

"Oh no... I'm sorry, I was just feeling a bit sentimental."

Kitahara realized that he had only been visualizing the girl in front of him as the girl with the little chestnut hat from before, and quickly apologized.

Although they didn't know what Kitahara Yutaka was thinking, Stardust Illusion, who was already preparing to enter training mode, didn't intend to delve into it.
