Half of a Umamusume

[Come to my office.]

what?

What mistake have I made again?

Now, whenever Fujiwara Chiya is called by the chairman, he will instinctively wonder what went wrong with him. After quickly reviewing what he has done in the past few weeks, Fujiwara Chiya is sure that he is innocent.

I am innocent, I am not guilty, Fujiwara Chiya encouraged herself.

Arriving at the door, Fujiwara Chiye knocked and walked into the room.

"Chairman, you called me?"

Then, Fujiwara Chiya saw an unfamiliar blond girl standing in the middle of the room. She was wearing a white baseball cap with yellow edges, a yellow jacket and brown hot pants, and had a travel bag on her back.

Looking at the man who looked like a backpacker, Fujiwara Chiya was stunned for a moment. In front of the desk, Akikawa Yayoi greeted him.

"Come here, Qianye."

"Yes."

When Fujiwara Chiya came over, Akikawa Yayoi introduced him to the backpacker: "He is the trainer I think the most, Fujiwara Chiya."

"Hello, Mr. Fujiwara." The girl extended her hand.

"Hello." Confused, Fujiwara Chiya instinctively followed the situation.

"Chairman, this is..."

"Mei Sauyue." The girl said, "I'm from France."

"France?"

"That's right." Akikawa Yayoi waved her fan, "She is my friend. The purpose of coming to Tresen this time is to let Japanese horse girls go global and gain unprecedented glory."

Akikawa Yayoi introduced with great passion.

"Speaking of Yayoi."

The girl named Mei Sautake whispered, "Could it be that Fujiwara Chiya is..."

"Good for the trainer's son."

"I see. No wonder you think highly of him."

"I'm optimistic about him not because of his relationship."

"Cough cough..." Looking at the two people who suddenly started whispering in front of him, Fujiwara Chiye couldn't help but cough a few times to remind himself of his presence.

Don't leave him here alone, it's awkward.

"Ah, sorry." Mei Sauyue scratched her head, "I asked Trainer Fujiwara to come here because I have a project and I want the trainer's help."

"Planning?"

The other party took out a plan from his backpack and handed it to Fujiwara Chiya, who opened it with confusion.

He saw the title [project L'Arc] printed in black letters on it.

Target, Arc de Triomphe.

Chapter 130 I owe you a favor

After returning, Fujiwara Chiya carefully read Mei Sautake's project and summarized it in one sentence: to win first-class international competitions in Europe, including the [Arc de Triomphe] in France, within two years, and let Japanese horse racing girls go global.

Looking at the competition items listed above, Fujiwara Chiya's brows furrowed more and more.

You're not asking me to carry out this plan, are you? Although two years is not a short time, it's enough for a horse girl to grow to the top, but for a horse girl, winning even one of the above competitions will bring endless glory. Compared with these competitions, GⅡ and GⅢ competitions are just like games.

Was this plan given to the wrong person? I am just a new trainer, not a senior trainer who has been working for more than ten years. Even a senior trainer may not be able to do it.

Now Huang Jinchuan, Mi Yu and others are still quite far from being able to compete in world-class events. They will need to train for at least another half a year before they are able to step onto the field. Before that, they must at least win a big prize tournament to have the strength to do so. Otherwise, they will just be a stepping stone.

The big prize competition... This was originally his ultimate goal, but suddenly it became a small goal. This plan spans too many levels.

Fujiwara Chiya felt a little overwhelmed. He knew that his abilities were totally inadequate to support those horse girls to win in world-class competitions. He did not have enough knowledge and experience.

"Trainer Qianye."

The sound outside the door interrupted Fujiwara Chiye's thoughts. He put down the plan and said, "Come in."

A woman with shoulder-length hair and side bangs walked into the room, staring at him with blue eyes.

Fujiwara Chiya immediately stood up to greet him.

"Trainer Fumino."

At the other party's invitation, Fumino Nase sat on the sofa.

"Have you received the project plan for the Arc de Triomphe?" Without any greetings, Fumino Nase spoke directly.

"Got it, you too?"

"Well, it's not just me, many trainers have received it."

Hearing this, Fujiwara Chiya breathed a sigh of relief and made a cup of coffee for Nanase Fumino.

"I thought I was the only one here."

Suddenly burdened with such a heavy task, Fujiwara Chiya almost couldn't breathe. It turned out that he was just one of them.

"After all, it involves the URA training center, so it's not safe to leave it all to you."

It's not unsafe at all, there's a 90% chance of failure. It's a pity that the chairman is willing to let me participate in this project. Am I her son? Why is she taking care of me so much?

"How many people are participating? Fumino, do you know?"

"I'm not sure, but I guess there are at least ten trainers." Nanase Fumino sipped her coffee.

"Ten, that's a lot!"

"That's what I'm saying." Nanase Fumino licked her lips. "Tressen is going to select the most capable and promising horse racing girls to participate in the Arc de Triomphe. The conditions are quite demanding."

"Elaborate."

"The Grand Prize Race is the most basic requirement. Every trainer needs to participate in the L'Arc Trials."

Fujiwara Chiya listened to this unfamiliar word.

Nanase Fumino explained: "This selection competition is not included in the [Shining Series]. It is a separate competition set up to determine the horse girls who are more suitable for participating in the overseas expedition. If any trainer is eliminated, he will lose the qualification to participate in the Triumphal Arch."

"Before participating in the [Arc de Triomphe], we actually have to decide who is eligible to participate..." Fujiwara Chiya rubbed his face, "Isn't the intensity of this year's competition a bit too high?"

Nase Fumino nodded without commenting.

If that's the case, does that mean he still has to compete with Fumino?

"Of course." Nase Fumino put down her coffee. "If we really want to decide who is eligible to participate, we will definitely meet in the trials."

I didn’t expect that just when the [Shining Series] was getting going, there would be another competition here.

"There won't be any horse girls entering the ancient horse year, will there?"

"I don't think so. The time frame of this proposal is two years. No one would choose horse girls from the old horse year to compete. By the time of the competition, their peak years would have long passed."

These trainers should start with the newly enrolled horse girls and train them from scratch. After all, the horse girls who have experienced more rigorous competitions are definitely stronger than the previous ones.

"That's good." Fujiwara Chiya breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the starting point is the same.

However, the training process is different, and Fujiwara Chiya is worried whether he can raise the baby well.

Nase Fumino stood up.

"Are you leaving?"

"Ah."

"You didn't come here just to ask me if I participated in this project, did you?"

Nase Fumino's body paused.

"That's it."

After saying that, she prepared to leave.

"Fumino."

Fujiwara Chiya suddenly called out to the other person, and Nase Fumino stopped.

She turned her head and looked at Fujiwara Chiya.

The man hesitated for a while, and finally said, "Can you teach me?"

Nase Fumino raised her delicate eyebrows.

"what?"

"Can you teach me about training? I'm not capable enough and totally unqualified compared to you, so can you teach me about training?"

Hearing this, Nase Fumino combed the ends of her hair at the temples, and a rare change appeared on her cold face.

Surprised, nervous, and happy, her movements were so small that it was difficult for people to detect her emotions.

"Why are you looking for me?" Nase Fumino asked, "Don't you have a lot of seniors who are very close to you? Every Saturday and Sunday, you go out to drink with them and come back drunk at night. Why don't you ask them for help?"

"I rarely go out to drink, I'm always dragged out!" Fujiwara Chiya defended, "And they're no good either. The way these seniors teach is so bad, they can't explain it clearly at all. I've asked them for advice before, but they always made it unclear. Compared to them, I think Fumino you're great."

"I'm... great...?"

"I mean it's very well said and can be explained in a few words."

Nanase Fumino raised her hand to her neck and lifted her hair. She always used this action to hide her inner hesitation.

"Yeah……"

"So, can I ask you for a favor?"

"We are rivals, Qianye. Even so, do you still want to ask me for advice?"

"Well, yes, you are my opponent, but before that, you were Fumino." Fujiwara Chiya clenched his hands, "So I don't think there is any shame in asking you for advice."

Nanase Fumino's eyes flickered a few times, and she slowly returned to the sofa.

"Let me teach you a little bit."

"Really, thank you so much, Fumino."

"If you've been eliminated before you meet me, you can't even be called my opponent, so... at least I have to make sure you have the strength to stand before me."

"Yes, I will try my best."

Nanase Fumino let out a long sigh, calming her rapidly beating heart.

"Where's your training plan? Bring it here so I can see if there's anything that needs improvement."

"They're all here." Fujiwara Chiya placed all her training schedules in front of Nase Fumino.

As Nanase Fumino watched, she noticed Fujiwara Chiya standing next to her.

"What are you doing there? Come here." Nase Fumino patted the seat next to her.

"Ah, yes."

Fujiwara Chiya moved closer and the two sat side by side.

Nanase Fumino picked up the training sheet and checked it carefully, with a thoughtful look in her blue eyes.

Seeing Nase Fumino like that, Fujiwara Chiya couldn't help but think of what she had seen on a talk show not long ago, where the host introduced the youngest genius trainer Nase Fumino, calling her 'Prince Highness'.

Because she always likes to wear formal clothes, coupled with her cold face, giving people a neutral image of an ice beauty, Nase Fumino is a rare trainer who has both good looks and strength, and has many fans.

It was the first time that Fujiwara Chiya observed her so closely. To be more precise, it was the first time that she observed the grown-up Fumino Nase so closely.

I didn't expect that she has become so famous.

"The rest time is too concentrated. It's better to spread it out and control the proportion to one-fifth of the exercise time... Qianye, are you listening to me? Qianye?"

Turning her head, she found the man staring at her in a daze. Nanase Fumino stretched out her finger and flicked his head.
