Uma Musume: I am the Card Master

"This time we are here to help the bright and alert Eagle with her band's affairs, after-school tea parties and the Bond Band. I had previously helped them apply to schools in the United States."

They've made their decision recently, and since I noticed you haven't had much of a chance to come with me after arriving in the Aurora, I asked Xiao Te to come along.

Suiyuan smiled as he looked at Special Zhou beside him, "I want to know more about Little Special."

Zhou blushed slightly. "Trainer, you can't just say things like that to a girl!"

352. Encountering the strongest opponent ahead of time

"You are the aurora trainer."

Suiyuan nodded at the impatient woman in front of him. "That's right, I am Suiyuan, the trainer of Aurora."

Hello, this is Ichiji Hoshika, the store manager.

Toki was very polite, although Nijika's older sister, Ijichi Hoshika, seemed very impatient, but Toki knew that she didn't actually mean it that way.

Well, the character of Ijichi Hoshika is that she has a rather arrogant personality, speaks too reservedly, and often cannot express her own thoughts.

Overall, Miss Xingge is a good person.

Zhou followed with a curious expression. She had also gone to see the last performance by the Amazing Eagles, but that time they were performing at a venue.

She was still very curious about the exhibition hall where the band usually performed.

"Come along, this is such a hassle..."

Ijichi Hoshika scratched her head and then walked towards her livehouse.

Zhou asked cautiously, "Is that trainer, Manager Ijichi, very annoying?"

Suiyuan initially thought it was impossible, but upon closer reflection... it wasn't entirely out of the question, since her purpose in coming here was to abduct her precious little sister.

"No way..."

"Trainer... I'm starting to regret coming along..."

…………

At this moment, all the members of the Bond Band and the After-School Tea Party had arrived, and they all stood up when they saw Suiyuan.

"Oh my, it's been a long time, Trainer Suiyuan!"

Ritsu Tainaka greeted him familiarly.

Suiyuan greeted her with a smile, "Long time no see, Captain Xiaolu."

Upon hearing Suiyuan's address, Captain Lu's expression turned awkward. "Please...please don't use that address. It feels like...ants are crawling on my body!"

Daiyu patted Ritsu on the shoulder, "Captain Ritsu, look, even Trainer Suiyuan has agreed to my nickname, so just accept it, okay?!"

"Absolutely not, ya da ya da!"

Ryohei Yamada moved to the side of the after-school tea party area, saying, "Our band is really interesting."

Hongxia pulled her back abruptly, "Come back here, you idiot!"

And the adorable little Boqi was once again lost in his own world, "Ryo-senpai got poached, the band's bassist is gone... We're doomed, we're going to disband..."

Seeing the horrified looks in everyone's eyes, Liang immediately bowed at a ninety-degree angle and said, "I was just kidding, I won't leave the Bond Band."

As Ichi Seika looked at the two bands, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

"Are you sure you want to choose these two teams? If your racehorse girl wants to, there must be world-class bands that would agree to become Aurora's exclusive band."

Suiyuan smiled as he watched this scene. "Manager Ijichi, don't you find this scene interesting? Everyone is full of energy and aspirations for the future."

Without the pressure of the future, and unburdened by money and daily life, their music may not be as outstanding as that of professional bands, but it touches my heart and the heart of... the bright and alert Flying Eagle.

Ichi Hoshika scratched her head. "Seriously, this is troublesome... I have to sell the shop and the equipment. Luckily, I have friends in the US."

"That sounds a bit troublesome... wait a minute..."

Halfway through his sentence, Suiyuan realized what he meant and asked, "Um, what did you say, Manager Ijichi?"

"Huh? Selling shops and equipment? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

Ichi Hoshika crossed her arms. "Although I don't want to admit it, the stars only exist because of Nijika, and I'm also worried about her going to the US alone."

The one at the end is the main one, isn't it?

Suiyuan revealed an "I see" expression.

Especially when Zhou looked at Ijichi Seika with shining eyes, it was a classic!

That's so classic! A classic tsundere character!

Recently, I've watched a lot of anime with everyone, and I've also gained some understanding of the tsundere archetype, which is an indispensable character trope in anime.

Looking at the store manager's behavior now, isn't this classic tsundere?

Ichiko sat in the chair and said, “Speaking of which, the kids you found are all quite suitable for going abroad. Pochi’s parents have friends in the US and have already found jobs. Erli hasn’t started elementary school yet.”

Kitagawa, her parents also let her grow up very freely, and they had no objections after they found out that you had found the school for her.

Then there's Liang. Her family are typical doting fathers. When their daughter said she wanted to go to the US, they immediately said they wanted to go with her.

Then there are those little ones. One family has an unreliable adult and a reliable younger sister, while the rest are mostly away from home year-round, so going abroad doesn't have a significant impact on them.

Seriously, didn't you do any research?

Store Manager Iji looked at Suiyuan with suspicion, as did Special Weekly. She knew about some of Suiyuan's affairs in Aurora and was very skeptical about them.

Suiyuan shrugged, "I really don't know. This band was chosen by Xingmu Feiying. What does it have to do with me?"

Hearing Suiyuan say that, both girls gave up their ideas. Suiyuan's words cleared them of suspicion. Indeed.

Both bands were chosen by the Eagles, so what does it have to do with Suiyuan?

Suiyuan looked helplessly at Te Te Zhou and said, "Little Te, why did you make that expression just now? It startled me. Why were you so excited?"

When Zhou noticed Suiyuan's gaze, he simply pretended not to see it. It was so embarrassing!

Suiyuan sensed two resentful gazes. Suiyuan looked in that direction and, judging from their appearance... they must be Zheliang's parents.

…………

"Your name is You, right?"

Suiyuan looked at Hirazawa Yu, who was sitting obediently to one side.

"That's right, it's nice to meet you, Trainer Suiyuan."

Seeing Suiyuan sitting next to him, Hirasawa Yu immediately wanted to stand up and greet Suiyuan, but Suiyuan waved his hand, "I'm not Japanese, no need to be so formal, Qiao."

"Okay... okay."

Looking at the person beside him who always had a smile on his face, Hirasawa Yu couldn't believe that such a person was called the "Netizen Honey Badger".

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

"Huh? Isn't it because Trainer Suiyuan came to see my sister and the others? Why don't you go over there?"

Suiyuan gestured with his chin towards the side, "Everyone is having a great time chatting right now, so let's not disturb them. By the way, has Hirasawa decided what he wants to study in the future?"

"I want to become a trainer like Trainer Suibuchi!"

Suiyuan was stunned. He turned to look at Pingze You, whose face was full of admiration. This... this... did they encounter the BOSS ahead of time?

353. You are trustworthy.

"It seems you've finished talking."

Suiyuan looked at the girls who had stopped talking.

Mio and Nijika, the little angels, seemed a bit embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, we invited you, but we forgot about you."

Suiyuan waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing, it's nothing."

Suiyuan looked at them and continued, "Have you all made up your minds?"

The main purpose of Suiyuan's visit this time was not about whether or not they went to the United States.

They decided to go; they could just go directly there, and they didn't need to be there themselves.

The main reason I came here was to sign a contract. My two bands became semi-exclusive bands of the Eagles, not exclusive bands.

It's a semi-exclusive band, meaning that when the Flying Eagles aren't having any events, they can perform freely, go wherever they want, and do whatever they want.

However, when the eagles need to perform, they must first rehearse with the eagles before going on stage.

Store manager Ichi was standing right next to them. If Toshiyuki tried to use their lack of industry knowledge about 403 to lower the price, she certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

Suiyuan glanced at Special Zhou beside him. Little Special Zhou blinked his beautiful big eyes, completely unaware of why Suiyuan was looking at him.

Suiyuan covered his face, "The bag, give me the bag!"

Just now, Xiao Te took Suiyuan's computer bag by claiming that she was physically stronger. In her opinion, Suiyuan's physical strength was definitely not as good as hers.

It takes quite a while to get from the aurora to the stars, so I'll help the trainer carry the laptop bag.

If an ordinary person were to carry it for that long, their arms would definitely ache, but Suiyuan wouldn't.

But Suiyuan did not refuse Xiao Te's kindness.

"Oh, here you go."

Zhou hurriedly handed her laptop bag to Suiyuan. She could eat as much as Xiaoli Mao, and sometimes she was just as dazed as Xiaoli Fei.

But it's so cute.

Suiyuan smiled and took out the contracts he had prepared beforehand, then handed them to the girls one by one.

Seeing the store manager staring blankly at him, Suiyuan took out another contract from his backpack (aedc).

"Manager Ichichi, you can take a look if you're interested."

Without any hesitation, Ijichi Hoshika took the contract from Suiyuan's hand.

She always takes things very seriously when it comes to her younger sister.

But halfway through, she couldn't bear to watch anymore. Was this... was this a joke?

The conditions inside were very lenient for the girls, and they even had a fixed salary of five thousand dollars a month!

It's five thousand dollars from the US, not five thousand yen from Japan, nor five thousand yuan from China, it's a full five thousand dollars!

At the current exchange rate, that's equivalent to 730,000 yen, which is more than 36,000 Chinese currency!

Let alone an unknown little band like them, even some big bands can't reach this level!

Most importantly, their activities are so lenient that it's practically giving away money.

Pochi's expression started to crumble. 730,000 yen... Hehehe, 730,000 yen, hehehe~

With 730,000 yen, I can quit my job at the livehouse. That's fantastic!

"Store...Store Manager..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Seeing Ijichi Hoshika's impatient expression, Pochi's courage vanished instantly.

"I...I will work hard."

Ichika Hoshika was completely bewildered. Why did she suddenly have to make such a declaration of determination? But she quickly figured it out in her head.

With so much money, he still works hard and improves himself. Pochi is truly an amazing guy!

Suiyuan suppressed a laugh; they really were quite amusing.

Liang's eyes had turned into ¥ symbols; finally, she didn't have to eat grass anymore, but there were still several basses she wanted...

With so much money, only Nijika could maintain her rationality, and even the adorable Mio was lost in a wonderful fantasy.

"Um, Trainer Suiyuan, aren't these conditions a bit too generous? And a lot of the money in them is very favorable to us. I feel that our Bond Band is not up to this level yet."

Suiyuan's expression remained unchanged. "You may not be up to par now, but I'm optimistic about your future. Besides, your playing has something that other bands don't have—it's relaxed and enjoyable."

Suiyuan rested his face on his hand. "To be honest, I don't really enjoy listening to performances, and I'm completely uninterested in them, but your performance made me want to keep listening."

Azusa looked at Toshiyuki excitedly, "Trainer Toshiyuki, feel our performance..."

"It's not very exciting."
