Half of a Umamusume

The next day, Fujiwara Chiya drove the two of them to the press conference. Since Uma Musume entered the classic year, he could use Tresen's official car at will.

Today, Fujiwara Chiye specially changed into the uniform issued by the central government. The intermediate trainer badge on his chest was shining brightly. At the age of 24, he was already a well-known figure in the central government. The feat that many people dreamed of was realized in him.

Even though Fujiwara Chiya has no interest in becoming famous, he now feels an uncontrollable sense of pride.

Behind him, Fujiwara Shirayuki and Mejiro Dobo changed into their finale uniforms. For them, the finale uniforms were the clothes they would wear when entering and leaving formal places in the future.

"Dobo, don't be nervous, relax." Fujiwara Chiya knew that the other party was nervous in front of a crowd, so she reminded him specifically, and Bai Xue held her hand beside her.

"Trainer... and Shirayuki." Mejiro Dober took a deep breath. If she was alone, Mejiro Dober would have been a little nervous, but when the two of them comforted her together, the last doubt in her heart disappeared.

Am I being a little too greedy?

Bai Xue alone is not enough, we need a trainer...

"Let's go." Fujiwara Chiya led the way. People in suits carrying briefcases passed by one after another. When they saw Shirayuki and Mejiro Dobo, they whispered to each other.

These people should be the reporters of this interview.

"Mr. Fujiwara Chiya, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, please come this way, Snow Dancer and Miss Mejiro Dober." The employee with a sign led the three people to the venue.

The horse racing ladies began to come forward one after another to express their gratitude.

Ten minutes later, it was their group's turn.

"Then please welcome our next contestant, Mejiro Dober!"

Hearing her name, Mejiro Dobo stood up, Shirayuki squeezed her palm, and Fujiwara Chiya gave her a look of trust.

Mebai Dober looked up.

In the past, she would be scared by such a scene and would not dare to go out, but today is different, the two people she trusts most are here.

Mejiro Dober held her chest, her eyes firmer than ever before.

"So, Mejiro-Doberman, you just won two consecutive victories, including the GⅡ Grand Prize Tournament. You seem to have a lot of momentum and strength. You can say that you are fully prepared for the third crown, right?"

Facing hundreds of reporters and dozens of cameras in the audience, Mejiro Dober put down her hands and stood in front of the podium.

"I think what everyone means by preparation is to have sufficient strength to win the game, but the game is full of unexpected things. The opponent will grow at a speed beyond imagination, and the result of the game is completely unknown."

"So I won't say I'm fully prepared, but I will always be preparing, with the help of my most important trainer, with the help of my most important opponent, I will live up to the name of Mebai and win the game."

As he spoke, Mejiro Dober turned his gaze to Fujiwara Chiya and Fujiwara Shirayuki off the field. Their faces, which had once been terrified in front of the crowd, were now full of confidence.

Chapter 268: A Contest of Determination and Will

As the [Tulip Viewing] was getting closer, Fujiwara Chiya made the final pre-match adjustments. He called Mejiro Dober to his office and told her the match arrangements.

"Your advantage lies in long-distance acceleration. When the race starts with the last 400 meters, Bai Xue's distance is shorter and she needs to wait until the 300-meter mark. If you can create enough distance in the middle 100 meters, your chances of winning this race will be very high."

Fujiwara Chiya handed the plan to the other party and said, "Your strength has improved by leaps and bounds during this period. I believe you will achieve brilliant results in this competition."

Mejiro Dober took the list and nodded, then she looked worried again.

"Trainer, if you help me like this, then Snow White..."

"Don't worry about Bai Xue. I have my own arrangements. To be honest, there is no more difficult decision than competing with teammates. I don't want any of you to lose, but sometimes it's hard to have both. All I can do is fulfill my responsibilities. Since you want to win, I will do my best to help you win."

Mejiro Dobo clenched his fists and looked at the man's conflicted but determined face. Mejiro Dobo understood what kind of ideological struggle the other party had gone through and what kind of sacrifices he had made, and everything the other party did was for him.

Between family affection and responsibility, the trainer chose the latter. How many people in the world can do this?

To be honest, Mejiro Dobo was very grateful that she was able to join the trainer's team. She held Fujiwara Chiya's hand tightly.

"Yes, I won't let the trainer's efforts go to waste!"

Fujiwara Chiya stared at the other person in a daze, then realized what he had done and suddenly let go of Mejiro Dober.

"No...well, I just wanted to express my gratitude to the trainer."

"Oh, that's it! You scared me. I thought you liked me too." Fujiwara Chiya laughed a few times, and Mejiro Dobo's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She picked up the game plan, bent down to Fujiwara Chiya, and then turned around and ran out.

"?"

It's not what I imagined. Normally, after making a joke, Mejiro Dobo should have said "How is that possible?" Before Fujiwara Chiya could think about it, another person walked in from the door. Her pretty black hair set off her neat and tidy personality, and the red eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes revealed a bit of seductiveness.

Qi Cao came to Fujiwara Chiya's office.

"Trainer, how is Bai Xue's training going?"

"I have mastered a little bit, but I am still far behind you."

"I see..." Qi Cao stroked his face.

Fujiwara Chiya was waiting for the other party's reply. Now she could be considered as Bai Xue's teacher, and she was responsible for a lot of training. In a sense, she could also be considered as Qianye's teacher. After all, even Qianye didn't know what she taught.

"Shirayuki has talent and determination, but she's still a little short of it. Her talent isn't top-notch." As if he was talking about a child, Qi Cao talked to Fujiwara Chiya about Shirayuki. "I thought I could teach her within a month, but it's still a little short of it. It would be better if I had more time."

At this time, Fujiwara Chiya, a grown man in his twenties, couldn't even raise his head in front of the anger tank. After all, when she talked about Shirayuki, she was also talking about herself in a sense.

"Um...what should I do?"

“Momentum can be stimulated by traction, so if you want her to grow faster, the best way is to run side by side.” Qi Cao walked in front of Fujiwara Chiye.

"The competition is only a few days away. Can the trainer arrange for me to be included in Bai Xue's training plan? If I remember correctly, Bai Xue should have endurance training. I want to come over and run side by side with her. Is that ok?"

“No, no problem.” Fujiwara Chiya spoke as he was forced to lean back due to the momentum of the energy tank.

Why does it feel like she is Bai Xue's trainer? Fujiwara Chiya now understands why Qigou is so popular among students. She has the temperament of a leader, and her eyes seem to make everything kneel down.

This is the strength of the current 'Empress'. As the second generation, Bai Xue is still far from that.

"Sorry to bother you. I'll come back in the afternoon." After saying that, Qicao turned around heroically and left the office.

Qi Cao completely treats Bai Xue as his junior and trains her. Most of his time is spent on training Bai Xue. In this case, he must also respond to the expectations of the "Empress".

It is true that Mejiro Tabo is a strong opponent, and the game plan that Fujiwara Chiya gave her is also genuine. As long as Mejiro Tabo follows his plan, it will be very difficult for Shirayuki to win this game.

But difficulty does not mean you will definitely lose.

While Mejiro Dobo was growing up, Shirayuki was also practicing hard. Through both mental and physical training, she was no longer the naive horse girl.

The two teams are of similar strength, so this game is a competition of determination and willpower.

Three days later, on the day of the [Tulip Appreciation] competition, Fujiwara Chiya's team gathered in front of the entrance of Tresen, and everyone had an uneasy look on their faces.

It was no wonder. After all, they were not cheering for anyone. If they wanted Bai Xue to win, what would happen to Dober? If they wanted Dober to win, Bai Xue would be difficult to talk to. Therefore, the team was strangely quiet. Even the Golden Ship rarely spoke nonsense, but looked at Fujiwara Chiya with a little worry.

This is when the trainer is needed to take charge of the situation.

"Let's go to the stadium."

There was no need to say more, Fujiwara Chiya had already said what needed to be said, and both Mejiro Tabo and Shirayuki had made up their minds, and neither of them had the slightest wavering look in their eyes.

Hearing what Fujiwara Chiya said, Golden Ship immediately returned to her previous attitude. She ran to the front and shouted excitedly: "We must have a big fight in this match!" It seemed that she knew that the trainer had resolved the conflict.

At the same time, in the student union room, everyone turned on the TV and watched the live broadcast of the game.

Qi Cao, Rudolph and Narita Bairen were sitting together, with the Emperor of the East China Sea hanging behind Rudolph. She had been really troubled by Qi Cao recently. Every time she wanted to get close to Bai Xue, she was driven away, not even a hug. She leaned sideways with resentment, staying away from Qi Cao. It was Rudolph who patted her and told her not to go too far.

"Qi Cao, do you think Bai Xue can win this game?"

After hesitating for a while, Chizou said, "If Shirayuki is allowed to train for a while longer, she will definitely win, but right now, she is at a similar level to Dober."

"Not sure?" Rudolph pinched his chin.

"Momentum is something that will naturally appear when you push yourself to the limit." Narita Bairen hugged his shoulders and spoke in a calm tone, "Don't forget, Shirayuki is a white wolf."

Chapter 269 [Tulip Appreciation]

"Welcome everyone to Hanshin Racecourse. Today's final race is the GⅡ [Tulip Festival]! Who will win the championship of this race and head to the road to the crown that symbolizes honor and beauty!"

The host's voice resounded throughout the arena. After sending Shirayuki and Mejiro Dobo to the contestant channel, Fujiwara Chiya led his team to find a position.

"Guinea Pig, it's over there." Airi Suzuko pulled his sleeve and pointed to the front.

"Okay, all of you, follow me." Fujiwara Chiye ordered.

For this match, he deliberately chose a grass spectator stand close to the stadium, where he could see more clearly, but he couldn't see the whole game. In previous matches, Fujiwara Chiya had always used the Sky Eye and real-time strategy mode. For this match, he decided to give up this advantage.

After all, he told Mejiro Dobo everything he could. Even if he opened his third eye, it would be of no avail. How could he possibly break his own moves? It was rare for Fujiwara Chiya to step onto the track in the single-system Uma Musume mode.

"Guinea Pig, are you sure you want to stay here with us? There's room upstairs."

"Speed, don't underestimate me. Even if I lose the full map vision, my strength will not decrease."

"If you are so confident, then why not just knock you out and let Bai Xue play alone? That way you won't be distracted by the shouting of the people around you."

"Stop! I won't be distracted by this!" Seeing Airi Hayako putting her hand into her pocket, Fujiwara Chiya hurriedly pulled it out for her, but what she was holding was a telescope.

"I just want to see it more clearly." A playful smile appeared on Alisako's face.

I shouldn't have paid any attention to her.

In the audience seats directly behind Fujiwara Chiya, a middle-aged man in his fifties was looking out at the racetrack, and next to him stood a horse girl with pink hair.

"Watch their movements carefully, Sanyue. These people will be your opponents in the future."

"Yes."

"You've also seen Trainer Fujiwara Chiya during this time, what do you think of him?"

"He's a pervert."

"...Hmm?" Nase Hideto looked at Kyoei Mitsuki who suddenly became angry, "I'm talking about his level as a trainer. Although I also want to beat up that brat, as a trainer, Fujiwara Chiya's basic skills are very solid. Never underestimate the tactics arranged by a steady trainer. They are willing to spend a month to formulate an excellent strategy."

This is stupid. Just to improve the winning rate a little bit, you spend a lot of effort. You can use that time to study the tactics of other tracks. A trainer should not hang himself on one game.

However, such trainers are also very troublesome, because once they target a game, it will be difficult for others to win.

Fujiwara Chiya is the type of person who would start studying a game intensively once he sets his eyes on it.

What a stupid boy. It's too slow to talk alone, but it's almost the same with two people. He doesn't even have a trainee. He is just wasting his time meaninglessly.

Naise Hideto criticized silently.

Preparing for two games in a row must have put a lot of pressure on him, so the opponent's tactics will definitely have obvious loopholes.

In this game, Nase Eito plans to let Kyoei Sanyue see the opponent's hidden cards and what kind of strength she has, so that she can have an idea in her mind. It will be the time for her to show her strength during the [Sakura Viewing].

"Yes...I understand." Xie Rong Sanyue clenched his fists.

The trainer is right, even if the other party is a lolita who likes to make trouble, we can't underestimate him!

……

"Now, please welcome our contestants to enter!" After the pre-match opening remarks, the host announced loudly. In the contestant channel, Mejiro Dobo and Fujiwara Shirayuki walked together.

"Sister Duo, last time you said you regarded me as an opponent you had to defeat."

"Yes."

"Actually, I am the same, but Sister Duobo is not my only opponent." Bai Xue looked at her seriously: "I want to defeat everyone who stands in my way."

Hearing these words, Mebai Dober's pupils contracted, then she exhaled lightly, and her aura changed.

The elder sister who used to take care of Shirayuki in every way disappeared, and standing in front of her was a horse girl named Mejiro Dobo. Her eyes were extremely firm, and they no longer had the gentleness of the past.

"Shirayuki, you will defeat everyone, but I will defeat you."

Having said that, there was no need for the two to say more. They walked into the arena with their heads held high.

“Oh oh oh oh oh——!!!” There was a deafening cheer from the audience.

Mejiro Dobo, who won two games and two games, and Snow Dancer, who won three games and three games, are equally popular and have become the most dazzling new stars of this competition.

"Mom! Come quickly, the competition has begun!" The foal ran to the audience seats with his mother, holding onto the railings and jumping around, trying to see more clearly.

“I can’t see…”

"Oh, cute little guy, are you in trouble?" asked a horse racing girl with big pigtails next to him gently.

“Can’t see the game.”
