Tresen's five horses tore me apart

Chapter 92: Anticipation.

"I finally lived up to expectations."

Looking at Tamamo Cross jumping in the C position on the winner's stage, who was obviously the shortest one but still became the focus of the whole audience, Bai Le turned his head and said to the two horse girls beside him.

"Tamamo-senpai, you are so dazzling. Can I also stand on such a stage?"

"Undoubted victory, trainer. I have seen your strength."

These two were naturally Oguruma and the noble lady. After witnessing this miraculous victory with their own eyes, all the doubts and worries of the two horse racing girls disappeared without a trace.

They stared at the stage, a strange light emanating from their eyes.

"The approval procedures will have to wait until after the New Year. After all, even the chairman is on vacation at this time. However, I have received accurate information from Ms. Junchuan, and there will be no problem with qualification promotion."

"Well, I'll look forward to waiting until after the New Year, Trainer."

Xiao Limao nodded vigorously with a happy smile on his face.

"I am looking forward."

The lady clasped her hands in front of her and spoke elegantly.

"Also, I'm treating you to a celebration banquet tonight. Do you want to come?"

"Oh yeah, that's great, Trainer."

The smile on Xiaolimao's face suddenly became even brighter.

"Sorry, I have something to attend to at home. I will be going back after the winner's stage is over."

The lady shook her head and spoke softly.

"That's a shame. Why don't we come back when you get back?"

When Xiao Limao heard this, his face instantly became a little depressed.

"No need, Mr. Trainer. It's just a celebration banquet. I'm more looking forward to the party you'll host for my victory."

The lady turned around and bowed slightly gracefully.

"Then it's settled."

Bai Le nodded, and the winner's stage was coming to an end.

"That's right. Allow me to take my leave first."

Bending her knees slightly and tugging at the hem of her skirt with her hands, the lady said goodbye to Bai Le and Xiao Limao, put her hands in front of her, and like a lady, left the audience seats of the winner's stage without looking back.

"Bon voyage, and Happy New Year."

She heard such a blessing coming from behind, so the girl lowered her eyelids slightly and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Next year is going to be really interesting.

Bai Le discovered another thing.

Although buffet restaurants in Tokyo are a precious non-renewable resource, buffet restaurants are not only found in Tokyo!

This matter is extremely important and must be recorded in the Shadow God's... no, in the trainer's notes.

There are quite a few buffet restaurants in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture. You can write them all down and feed them to Oguruma.

The only trouble was that Tamamo Cross was recognized in the buffet restaurant, causing quite a commotion.

After all, she was the horse girl who had just won the G1 championship, and she was in a local restaurant, so it would be difficult not to be recognized.

The restaurant owner was even more generous and gave Bai Le and his group a free meal.

But Mr. Bai still had some kindness and compassion left, so he insisted on paying the bill at the normal price.

Even so, the restaurant owner still blocked him, leaving Bai Le with no choice but to sigh that this precious resource was indeed a precious resource. Even if the scope of acquisition was expanded, it still had to be used with calculation.

After eating and drinking, Bai Le returned to Tokyo overnight with the two Asahi Umamusume, preparing to send them back to school.

Then I encountered someone who was trying to intercept me at the school gate.

"Reporter Yi Mingshi, you've already stopped me. Why don't you just call me?"

"I'd like to call, but Mr. Bai Le's phone seems to be turned off."

Oname Shi Yuezi smiled.

"Ah, it seems so. Sorry."

Bai Le just remembered and quickly apologized.

After the results of the competition came out, his phone received a lot of calls, some asking for interviews, some asking for shows, and some asking for cooperation and endorsements. There were so many calls that he couldn't handle them all.

This is the value of the G1 competition. The prize money is secondary. After winning such a high reward, countless people will follow.

Especially Tamamo Cross's experience is quite legendary. From the initial losing streak to the current victory, and the very spectacular running style of chasing from behind, the little guy became famous before the night was over.

However, Bai Le was still very self-aware. He did not answer any of these calls, but turned off his phone directly, otherwise he would not be able to eat a single bite.

His and Tamamo Cross's achievements this time are inseparable from the official support of Tresen, so even if they want to interview and discuss cooperation, they have to contact the school first.

"It's okay. This situation is understandable. After all, the most legendary and talked-about Uma Musume this year is Tamamo Cross-san. If it were me, I would just close it even earlier."

"Thank you for your understanding. If we're going to interview you, can we go to school?"

Although it was already dark, many of Tresson's racewomen had returned home to rest for the holidays, but some were still preparing for next year's race.

You should know that the earliest two G3s of the Central Rewards Zhongshan Gold Cup and Kyoto Gold Cup are usually on January 1th or 5th. If you go back to your hometown to rest during the holiday, you will not be able to fully prepare for the competition.

During the Chinese New Year, Treson’s administrative work will basically stop, but daily training and equipment use will remain normal and will not affect preparations for war.

"Just to my liking."

Tresen is not open to the public except on certain days, but there are special rooms for receiving visitors.

Reporter Yi Mingshi seemed to have anticipated this and had booked a room in advance.

Bai Le asked Oguruma to take Tamamo Cross's things back to the dormitory to rest first, while he called Tetsuna Shunkawa and told her about the interview. After getting confirmation, he returned to the interview room and was interviewed with Tamamo Cross.

Although she is known as a weird reporter, the questions asked by Otona Shi Etsuko are actually very professional. It is obvious that she has a good understanding of the horse racing sport. Some of the questions are so in-depth that even Bai Le breaks out in a cold sweat, and it takes him some effort to deal with them.

"Then here's the last question for today. Now that you've won Game 1, what are your plans for the rest of the tournament?"

"If I say Yayoi Shang, wouldn't that be a bit too confident?"

"The prelude to the Gaoyue Award. Is this the start of a legendary journey?"

"Having come this far, you won't be satisfied if you don't challenge yourself, right, Ms. Otonashi?"

“Yes, I’m personally looking forward to it, and I think the fans and Umamusume fans and supporters will also be looking forward to such a schedule.”

The Gaoyue Sho is the first of the classic triple crowns, a race that drives countless horse racing girls here crazy.

The so-called preliminary battles also carry great rewards and also serve as preliminary rounds. Umamusume who do not meet the requirements for participation can get priority admission to the Gaoyue Prize if they place well in the Spring Championship, Wakaba Championship, Yayoi Prize and other events. They can also adapt to the track and atmosphere in advance, which can be considered a shortcut.

Chapter 93: Responsible for the future.

It was already midnight when Bai Le returned home.

Although the interview with reporter Yi Mingshi made him sweat profusely, there was still something else to do.

That is to visit her mother with Tamamo Cross.

Her mother's condition has been brought under control, and she had already known that her eldest daughter had won the G1 prize today.

When little Tamamo pounced on her mother and younger siblings, Bai Le quietly turned around and walked out the door, took out a carrot and started eating it.

In this way, he should be considered to have done a good thing.

perhaps.

"A triumph of fate?"

Recalling what Qian Ming said in his ear during the competition in the daytime, someone felt a little sad at this moment.

Until he was pulled back to the ward by Tamamo who opened the door for him.

"What are you doing standing outside, trainer? Mom wants to thank you, and my brothers and sisters want to thank you too."

"Wow, wake up!"

As soon as Bai Le entered the room, he saw that the Yumozuo family was about to get up from their seats, and he was so scared that he quickly moved away.

"This isn't popular in my hometown. Hurry up and get up! You're shortening my lifespan! Why don't you, Xiaoyu, persuade Auntie a little?"

He burst out with a speed comparable to that of the Tamamo Cross and rushed over to pick up little Tamamo with one hand, and then quickly helped Mrs. Tamamo up as well.

"I didn't actually do much. The key is that Tamamo worked hard enough and didn't give up. This kind of victory is something she...should...achieve with her own abilities."

"But Xiaoyu had never won before. She only won after meeting Bai Jun. From this point of view, our whole family must thank you."

The woman stood up and touched her daughter's hair, speaking in a gentle and solemn voice.

"Ma'am, don't be so modest. With Tamamo's potential, it's only a matter of time before she unleashes her potential and wins G1. I was just... lucky enough to have that opportunity."

Bai Le repeated his opinion.

"Potential is potential, but the ability to identify and tap into that potential is equally valuable. Mr. Bai, you're the one being too modest."

"Okay, okay, but don't bow. It's really not necessary. I can get 10% of Tamamo's bonus. 700 million before tax, this is more valuable than any gift."

Bai Le quickly changed the subject, otherwise he would probably continue to dwell on such issues for a long time.

Sure enough, when the bounty was mentioned, Tamamo Cross's mother's eyebrows suddenly relaxed a lot.

The bounty of the Hope Championship is relatively low in G1. Excluding the obstacle course, it is tied for second to last with the Asahi Cup Future Championship. Together with the last-placed Hanshin Junior Girls Cup (champion prize 6500 million), it is the third shameful G1 with bounties of less than million.

But G1 is G1 after all, and it is still 7000 million. In comparison, the G2 Naruto commemorative bounty is 4200 million, which is nearly twice as much.

10% of the bounty goes to the school as public and training expenses, 10% goes to the trainers and logistics team as incentive expenses, and the remaining 80% plus the additional bonus (extra bonus to encourage participation) belongs to Tamamo Cross himself. The figure of 5600 million is very impressive even before tax, and it is an income that an ordinary wage earner may not be able to save in ten years.

However, this is the income that can only be obtained from high-prize races, and only from the champion. If it were the conditional races that Tamamo Cross ran before, there would not be such good income. You cannot run too many races in a row, and you have to distribute them evenly over time, which is just enough to barely make a living.

You have to know that horse racing girls not only have big appetites, but also consume a lot of supplies during training. Their special running shoes are not cheap, and different race schedules have different most suitable shoe types. Add to that the extra expenses such as horseshoes, and eating may be the cheapest thing.

Of course, this does not include Oguruma, who actually spends the most money on food.

Tamamo Cross's family was already poor, and his mother's illness and hospitalization made things even worse. The cost of the treatment had to be paid for by Rudolf Symbol.

Now that such a large sum of money is about to arrive, the financial pressure has suddenly disappeared, and this strong mother can't help but smile.

"Auntie, with Tamamo's abilities, she will win even more rewards in the future, and your family's situation will get better and better. This is all the result of her hard work and talent. As for me, I will be satisfied to share in this glory."

Bai Le was telling the truth.

Before the game started, he was worried about what would happen if he didn't win, and what would happen if he delayed the development of a pony that had a bright future. This thought would occasionally flash back in the middle of the night, devouring his heart and waking him up from his sleep. In the later stages, he relied on coffee in the teahouse to keep himself going.

Now that we have won this game, I feel relieved. Even if there are other tests in the future, such a good start will surely become the cornerstone of my confidence.

"In that case, Bai Jun, I'm leaving Xiaoyu's future glory in your hands."

"I'll do my best."

Faced with such a trust, Bai Le replied seriously.

……

"The future... is bright."

Now he was lying on the bed, looking at the black spots on the ceiling, feeling a little heavy.

High school students really can’t take responsibility for other people’s lives, but trainers will definitely take responsibility for their own lives.

Regardless of whether it is the so-called fate or something else, once the contract is signed, the two parties will be closely linked for three years.

These three years in a Umamusume’s life are enough to determine their future destiny. It cannot be said to be their entire life, but it definitely occupies a huge weight.

Can he bear it?

Bai Le had some vague thoughts and worries that he had never told anyone, not even Tamamo Cross.

Physical fatigue finally defeated mental fatigue, and someone finally fell into a deep sleep, having a rare good sleep.

The next day, the weather was fine.

The winter sun shines through the gaps in the curtains onto your face, not bringing much warmth, but enough to keep you awake.

Bai Le opened his eyes and stared at the black spot on the ceiling in confusion. After a few seconds, he finally came to his senses.
