Stop being a trainer!

Although he was just that dissatisfied with Kabuki performances, the sight of scarlet eyes and the final scene with the prostitute made Kato Akira feel inexplicably uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but want to leave quickly.

"...Okay, I'm done. It's time to go."

It's a bit scary to be honest.

After stretching his sore legs and feet, Kato Akira stood up and prepared to leave, but he felt a pulling force coming from the hem of his clothes.

When he turned around, he saw that Representative Qian Ming was already sitting there with tears in his eyes, pulling at the corner of his clothes.

Seeing the seemingly tolerant looks from the people around him, Kato Akira didn't dare to directly pull Representative Chiaki, who was wiping her tears, to stand up.

So, after waiting for dozens of minutes on the upper floors of Tokyo Tower, when the sky had begun to show signs of dusk, Representative Qian Ming sighed slowly and returned to his original carefree and relaxed state.

"I'm sorry for showing you my useless side. I was a little moved by this plot."

"Really? As long as you think it looks good."

"Did you know that the prototype of this script is actually the story of a horse girl and her samurai master?"

With somewhat unsteady steps, he leaned against Kato Akira and watched the elevator going up and down. Representative Qianming grabbed Kato Akira's arm, talked to distract his attention, and walked into the elevator and pressed the button.

She didn't go directly to the ground, but wanted to have a meal in Tokyo Tower and then tell him her real reason why she wanted to find Kato Akira.

While waiting for the elevator, Representative Qianming told the Tresen horse girl version of the story in a slightly trembling voice.

Compared to the bloody story just now, the Ma Musume version is even more gentle than expected.

The Umamusume who serves as a servant and bodyguard has actually been secretly in love with the samurai for a long time, and she fights for him tirelessly to protect his life.

However, the samurai only wanted more fame and fortune, and he kept charging into battle, even getting seriously injured. Uma Musume finally couldn't stand it anymore and found an opportunity.

One day, the samurai got drunk and in order to relieve his loneliness and have something to talk about with the upper class, he went to find a prostitute to break his vow. And that prostitute was actually the horse girl in disguise.

After completing the important human affair, Uma-sama beat the samurai to his knees, and made him see his identity clearly after he sobered up.

Finally, with the presence of their boss, the samurai and the horse girl got married.

Sounds like a good story, doesn't it?

"But in the end, the samurai was still consumed by his own desires and completely ignored the horse girl who dedicated herself to him. Instead, he used the horse girl to recruit other horse girls to accomplish great things."

"They even forced her to do high-intensity exercise and dangerous activities. Eventually, Ma Niang had a miscarriage one day."

"She looked at her dead child, killed the samurai who was blinded by lust for power, and then chose to commit suicide."

"This is the story of the so-called prostitute before simplification."

Representative Chiaki, who had already rested, sat at the dining table with scented candles lit, looking at Kato Akira who was feeling uncomfortable, and said with a smile:

"Uma girls are affectionate creatures. I hope you can remember that, Amin."

"So, why did you target me? Can you tell me?"

Are you trying to change the subject? What does this story have to do with me?

Why you are targeting me is the most important thing, okay?

Looking at Representative Chiaki who seemed to have a profound meaning on the surface, Kato Akira completely ignored the so-called story and corrected the topic with a serious face.

Chapter 21: The Strange One (Part 2)

For a horse girl, training is necessary.

Because many horse racing girls have some bad habits, such as disordered pace, lack of concentration, and inability to perceive the distribution of physical strength.

But training can turn crises into strengths. Every Uma girl is exhausted after a race. Why do Uma girls, who are much better than humans, fall to the ground after running thousands of meters?

Because they put all their energy into the short race of a few thousand meters. It can even be said that the horse girls who did not burn out after each race were either so strong that their opponents could not make them feel a sense of crisis, or they were simply unqualified horse girls.

It is precisely because all physical strength needs to be burned up in such a short period of time that training and allocation are necessary.

If you burn out before that, you will stall, and if you keep your energy after that, you won't sprint fast enough, which will likely lead to failure.

And when racing, it is not just a matter of allocating physical strength. Position selection, movement, gate exit, outside lane, inside lane, field, clockwise and counterclockwise directions are all things that greatly affect the state of the horse girl.

Some horse girls are good at clockwise mid-mountain racing, while others are good at counterclockwise racing. Turning left or right, being good at going uphill or not being good at turning, these small movements, the slight advantages, are the result of countless sweat and training.

Even a horse girl like Metalsmith who doesn't seem to care about the competition will do some independent training with Deep Impact on a regular basis.

In other words, their self-esteem and hope for others made them finally stand up and choose this path.

"Get ready, Orpheus."

hateful.

Seeing the narrow gate open in an instant, the goldsmith rushed out a beat late, but was immediately stopped by the deep impact at the side.

"Another late start. On average, four out of ten starts are late, and none are above average. This means that you are quite behind from the start. About three lengths."

"I know! Keep going!"

hateful.

With his ears behind his back and his teeth gritted, he returned to the gate. With countless red lights flashing in his eyes, Orphie stood in the gate and glared at the closed gate again.

But it was as if anger gradually interfered with her judgment. When the gate was opened again, her thoughts paused briefly again, and then her body slowly followed.

Even without the deep impact warning, she knew that she was late again.

"It's very late. It's about four horse lengths away."

"……continue!"

"It's time to rest. There's no good result from practicing any further."

"Tsk."

Damn it...why...

Looking at the time when the deep impact was released, the metalworker, whose body was steaming with sweat and heat, gritted his teeth, covered his ears, and kicked the ground angrily.

She didn't even want to say a few more words to Deep Impact. She just rushed into the dilapidated house with an angry face, turned on the hot water inside, and quickly washed her sweaty and tired body.

too weak.

Why am I so weak?

Why can't I even protect the people I want to protect?

Bathing in the hot water, the goldsmith lowered his eyes and looked at Uma Musume's face reflected on the tiles.

That fair and lovely face was filled with symbols of gloom and rage, and even the originally lovely lavender eyes were stained with a hint of blood.

She didn't know why it was like this.

In the bathroom, Uma Musume could only feel her heart aching.

What did the uncle do wrong? What did I do wrong? Is it not okay for us to just want to chat together? Is it not okay for us to just want to look forward to the future?

Because I am still young and incompetent, do I have to obey the emperor and become a slave to her plans? Do I have to obey Qian Ming's ideas?

If that's the case, she will definitely take revenge when she has the ability.

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely revenge.

After turning off the hot water for the bath, the goldsmith walked out biting her lip. She carefully wiped her body with a towel and changed into clean clothes. Then she walked out slowly and met the eyes of Deep Impact, who seemed a little worried.

"Orphie? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Just a little under the weather."

Looking at his friend who had a worried look on his face, the goldsmith sat down on the stool outside the garbage house a little tiredly and looked towards the road in the woods.

"I believe in the uncle. Although he looks unreliable, he is actually very capable. He will definitely be able to escape from the hands of those two hateful women. I believe in him."

"Yeah. Although I haven't known him for long, I can feel that Mr. Kato should be a good person and can be trusted. There is no right or wrong in this matter."

"...In the final analysis, we are still too weak."

That woman, those two women, are all the uncle's enemies.

Looking at the road covered with fallen leaves in the forest, Orphee clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, hating herself for being just a powerless horse girl who had never debuted.

If she were a Triple Crown horse girl, she would be able to protect the uncle well. Even if she was a big prize horse girl like her sister, she could go to the principal's office and slam the table.

But she is just an unknown bottom-line horse girl who has not debuted. No matter how much she cares about the uncle and how much she hopes that the story between them can have a good ending, in fact, the beginning and end of the story are not in their hands.

Representative Qian Ming came to them not to threaten them, but to make a so-called deal.

She hopes to make the uncle her helper because he happens to be related to the plan symbolized by Emperor Rudolf.

The arrogant emperor now needed an example, an example to prove that it was actually worth it even if the Teresen Academy cut staff. And the best example was the uncle.

Because the uncle wanted to become a trainer and set a good example. And the uncle cared about their safety, so he stepped forward that day and decided to become Emperor Rudolf's lackey. Because he wanted to protect the goldsmith and deep impact who had not yet debuted.

The metalworker could only feel his brain and emotions burning.

"It's not the time to become a master yet. Even if you have a domain, it's useless. Both of us don't have the power right now."

"…I'm very upset."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Uncle really has to put up with it for our sake."

"That's why I'm upset."

Looking at the pile of leaves and debris, the goldsmith slowly stood up.

"Keep training. This time it's my turn to judge you. Only by continuous training and continuous results can you have a say."

Looking at the deep impact that had entered the gate, the metalworker pressed the stopwatch and gave himself a symbol of destiny in his heart.

I will take away the title of emperor and the title of freedom!

Just wait, uncle... I will pretend to be a good kid and give them a 'surprise'. If you suffer a little, I will make them pay it back a hundredfold!

"start!"

The gate opened and closed, and the black shadow shot out like an arrow, carrying the ambition and anger of the two horse girls into the distance.

Chapter 22: The Strange One (Part 2)

'boom! '

The sound of champagne being opened could be heard from the table next to us.

The mellow mist rose from the bottle mouth and eventually turned into a golden liquid, flowing into the crystal clear glass.

Although this is not a particularly high-end restaurant, it is essentially not a place that ordinary school workers and salarymen like Kato Akira can come to.

The prices in Tokyo Tower Restaurant were extremely high, and the prices on the menu were not something he could even casually look at. But the reason why Kato Akira came here was not to spend his own money to reward himself.

But on the opposite side, facing the gazes of countless people, the representative Chiaki, who was wearing the school uniform of Tresen College and eating stewed meat unscrupulously, with his eyes narrowed by the delicious taste. Looking at the people around him mumbling, Kato Akira was like sitting on pins and needles.

He didn't even dare to think about what news and information would come out tomorrow.

Somebody brought a cosplay Ma Musume out to eat at a high-end restaurant inside Tokyo Tower, and it seemed like they were up to something.

Or maybe a few sharp-eyed people would recognize that the limp horse girl in front of them is actually Representative Qianming himself, and directly put him on the hot search list.

Fortunately, the people in this world are very tolerant and friendly towards Uma Musume, and it is rare for them to talk nonsense without Uma Musume's permission.

But on the other hand, it is normal for attention to be drawn here.

Representative Qian Ming, who was bathed in countless gazes, did not care at all about being watched. He ate the meat very naturally, and then once again narrowed his eyes slightly, stimulated by the sweet taste.

"Hmm~ The grilled veal steak and stewed meat here are very popular. Hmm, they taste really good. Ming, can I try your grilled steak?"

"It's your money anyway, so eat what you like."

"Thank you~ I really like sharing food with others like this."

Without pretending, his eyes lit up, and Qianming stretched out his knife and fork again with a smile, cut a piece of the steak in front of Kato Ming, and put it into his mouth.

The delicious smell made her shiver, and her whole body exuded a soft and flabby atmosphere.

Oh, let’s eat first.

Looking at Representative Chiaki who was ordering food in the high-end restaurant at the speed of a Tresson buffet, Kato Akira looked at the meat in front of him, which was already rich enough for humans, and slowly chewed and swallowed it.

"You already know what I'm thinking, don't you?"
