Stop being a trainer!

As for the maintenance of the ornamental flowers and some corridors and facilities, it has become the responsibility of Uma Musume itself, and can be regarded as part of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

But it was precisely because of this that he was opposed by the faculty and trainers. They even wanted to take away his right to live, and he didn't even have the right to serve the horse girls. Kato Akira was no longer a human being.

As for the news and gossip published in the media, Kato Akira raised his dark circles and looked at them, then waved his hand with a bored look, thinking that he had already seen them. Instead of caring about such things, it is better to continue reading a few more documents.

"Don't worry about it. After all, the media is like a shark smelling blood. It will just rush over and bite randomly. Once it finds the taste is not good, it will leave."

"That being said, isn't it a bit too aggressive?"

“When have sharks stopped being aggressive?”

"That's true... but it feels a bit uniform, doesn't it? Why are there so many revelations suddenly appearing at this time?"

"It should be that after I increased the intensity of the training, the trainers found an opportunity to threaten me directly. Some of them contacted me before and said they wanted a pay raise, but I didn't agree. This is normal now."

Recalling the anonymous phone call, Kato Akira shook his head, expressing some disdain.

Kato Akira also understood the idea of ​​directly leaking the news to put pressure on all media and newspapers. After all, even a desperate dog will jump over the wall, let alone a living person.

But if you ask him how much he cares, he really doesn't care that much. There are many people on the anonymous version who even curse him to death, so this direct exposure of the past is considered quite mild. At least he hasn't been directly punished by heaven.

As for why the revelations were so concentrated, that was even simpler. The information between these media outlets was not shared, but at least it was leaked like a sieve. And if those people wanted to get him, they couldn't put all their eggs in one basket.

So after looking at the time on the table, Kato Akira quickly switched to the next topic.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is the chrysanthemum appreciation event of the Emperor of the East China Sea. Do you want to go with us?"

"Are you still going to see the chrysanthemums at this time?"

Sunday Ningjing responded with a skeptical look.

"You're already so busy now, do you still have time to enjoy the chrysanthemums?"

"It's my responsibility after all, so I have to take a look. And I can take this opportunity to have a victory meal... By the way, the goldsmith is still learning, I'll ask her if she wants to go tomorrow."

Looking at Zhou Ri Ningjing, who was rubbing his eyebrows and seemed a little speechless, Kato Akira didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He directly pressed the phone to start a conversation with the goldsmith.

Chapter 183 Melancholic Children (Eighth Update!)

'Steel Refined: Do you want to go and see the East China Sea Emperor's Chrysanthemum Appreciation?'

'Bai Lian Cheng Gang: It seems like I haven't seen you for a long time, there's nothing wrong with getting together.'

"Like Gold: Um... I, I still want to learn. But if I meet with the uncle alone, it's okay... "

'Bai Lian Cheng Gang: Forget it. If I meet alone, I'm afraid Dipper and the others will make a scene. You should study hard. I look forward to you becoming my assistant next year.'

'Like gold: Well, I will never let you down. Whether it's grades or... running.'

'Bai Lian Cheng Gang: I will be very happy if you can get your grades right first, so that's it.'

"..."

"Are you really not going to watch the emperor's chrysanthemum appreciation?"

"Ah."

"You don't intend to let me tell the truth?"

"Ah."

"Besides satisfying yourself, who else can you satisfy by doing this?"

"I just... don't want to disappoint him."

"Forget it. I don't understand you."

Looking at the silent roommate, Deep Impact sighed, covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep.

Curled up on the bed, the goldsmith looked at the dim picture, stretched out his finger and tapped it, then continued to look at the picture until it dimmed again.

Just when she looked at the words above, she felt a sense of relief, but at the same time, fear and confusion that were no less than the relief gradually surged in her heart, constantly becoming the embodiment of her nightmare and despair.

Sometimes, the person who makes the choice does not know that such an easy choice will change the direction of the world. At that time, when it was the Youth Cup Competition, the goldsmith never thought that such a thing would happen.

The Youth Cup, which originally had no meaning, has now become

The desire contest. And I don't know how many horse girls have become captives of the rich benefits of Kato Akira's desire contest. And under the strong desire and the stimulation of the winning mentality, she did not choose to confess everything to Kato Akira, but came to the hope team under the impetus of her own horrible emotions.

To this day, the goldsmith has no idea what is going on with her. She began to feel as if there were two of her own inside her.

One is the one who, after being subjected to cold violence, hid in the forest and shivered, and admired Kato Akira so much, wanting to be like a princess, and simply wanted to walk with him well.

The other one is extremely arrogant and wild. He wants to crush all his enemies from the bottom of his heart, win the first place in the Desire Contest with dignity, and then prove that he is the truly responsible one.

Although the feelings of both sides have not changed, and the ultimate dream of both sides is to be with Kato Akira until the end, the goldsmith is very aware that something is wrong with her state. It can even be said that she is gradually beginning to fear the changes in herself.

Strength, infinite strength and infinite energy began to emerge from her body. Although she had already grown into this, the master metalworker clearly realized that she might have truly started the journey of mastering the metalwork. She began to become stronger and stronger, and even when she looked at the old predecessors of the Hope Team, she felt a sense of contempt that they could replace her.

Although her roommate had also entered the professional arena and even became a master, Deep Impact did not have such a situation where the spirit and the body were completely incompatible. Only the goldsmith herself felt the strong separation between her soul and body. She liked Kato Akira very much. It can even be said that on that rainy night and in the countless storms that followed, she even fell in love with that man.

However, she couldn't stop it. She couldn't contain the feelings and desires in her heart, and that desire was gradually emerging from her body.

Even now, she could still see herself in the mirror, looking at her angrily, and even questioning her in an invisible dialogue why she did this.

"If you like him, why are you still hiding here and trembling! I have already set the stage for you, and paved all the way for you. You just need to stand in front of him and tell him that I am your responsibility. So I would rather defeat others than let you take your eyes off me. Isn't that enough? ! '

'Why would I do this?! I did this because you are such a coward! You don't dare to argue when the time comes. You know that everyone likes him and there is nothing wrong with that, so why do you still think that you can have a good result if you delay it for a year?! You can't delay it for even a minute! You must, you must tell him the truth now! You are already a mature girl, you must be responsible for your own actions!'

'I just want to force you to confess your feelings to him! It will be too late by this time next year! We are one! You are me and I am you! Why are you so anxious and yet you don't plan to do anything!'

"..."

Because he will be unhappy.

Looking at himself in the mirror, whose eyes were red with anger and even whose expression was distorted, the goldsmith kept talking to himself.

Because Kato Akira will be unhappy.

When he heard that other girls liked him, his first reaction would definitely not be joy, but unhappiness.

Because Kato Akira is a person who loves Umamusume to the point of being hopeless, but he doesn't like Umamusume as an individual at all. If he runs, he will be happy, if he has a plan, he will also be happy, but when he likes her, he will not be happy.

Only when her passion has cooled down, when she is too old to run with such passion anymore, will Kato Akira seriously consider this issue. So no matter what, she cannot reveal her true feelings, even if everyone knows it. If everyone knows, she can lie to herself, but if no one knows, then even herself cannot be lied to.

'So you would rather destroy yourself here with your own thoughts than make him unhappy?! Then you know we are already on this path! We are already making him unhappy! That's why I force you! Do you understand! '

'You can only choose the option that looks best, because you have no way out! '

"I have blocked your escape route!"

"..."

Then I'd rather do nothing.

It's not bad to drag you crazy along like this. I won't indulge my desires.

Amidst his other angry roar, the goldsmith stared at the dialog box for a long time, until the sunlight from outside shone in.

Chapter 184: The Undoubted Chrysanthemum Appreciation (9th Update!)

Compared with the audiences of chrysanthemum appreciation in various circles, the audiences of this chrysanthemum appreciation are less than usual.

On the one hand, the Desire Competition has diverted a lot of attention, reducing the original popularity of the Triple Crown. After all, people's attention is always limited, and once you pay attention to one thing, it is difficult for another thing to take your attention away.

On the other hand, the number of horse girls participating in this year's Chrysanthemum Festival is relatively small, with only seven horse girls participating. This small number of people can be said to be rare in history.

Basically everyone who comes here comes with the intention of witnessing history.

There were no special surprises, nor any exciting accidents. Whether it was propaganda or other rural tabloids, there was essentially only one thing being discussed: how many lengths of achievement the Emperor of the East Sea would achieve in this Chrysanthemum Appreciation to become the new generation of Triple Crown Champion.

Many people even think that the Emperor of the East Sea should be a true undefeated triple champion, after all, he broke his bones in his debut match and there was nothing that could be done about it. But the rules are there, so the Emperor of the East Sea cannot become the so-called undefeated triple champion no matter what. However, the triple champion Uma Musume is also good enough, and the strength of the triple champion Uma Musume proves that she is indeed a horse girl who is worthy of being recorded in history.

A horse girl who has suffered a series of fractures but has never been defeated by fate and the future, and has worked hard to reach the pinnacle today, is a very popular topic no matter from which angle you look at it.

There are also reports claiming that Emperor Tokai will also participate in the special popularity competition Arima Kinen. Everyone's expectation for Emperor Tokai is whether she will be the strongest horse racing girl in today's professional arena, or even the only one.

After all, judging from the current situation, there is no one in the current professional arena that can compare with the East Sea Emperor. Xinma didn't even appear in the Hope Cup. Although Deep Impact showed unimaginable strength, it still needs a real game to prove its strength.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders today, the Emperor of the East China Sea, the destined triple crown winner, is the real overlord and an unimaginable new star in the entire horse racing girl industry.

After all, not everyone has access to all kinds of information channels, and not everyone can get some strange conclusions from nowhere to prove who is the strongest horse girl. And even if such a theory appears, it is just empty talk without participating in professional competitions.

The semi-finals of the Desire Contest have not started yet. Everyone is just having fun with this contest. The main influence is still on the Shining Series. So on the way over, the curtains on almost every publicity building showed the East China Sea Emperor with a resolute and unyielding expression.

Hunter, Sniper King, Immortal Firebird, Emperor of the East China Sea.

The current Emperor of the East China Sea has his own special title in the minds of the current audience to commend his achievements and abilities.

Just like a kind of fateful reincarnation, the Phoenix became the most widely recognized title of the East Sea Emperor Night Raid Group 694936135. With the ability she showed on the field and her past experience, the once fallen Firebird finally soared into the sky again.

"It's like a stage was built just for you, Emperor. Your dream will soon be fulfilled."

Looking at the scenes outside being broadcasted in the lounge, and seeing the huge crowds cheering and preparing to celebrate the arrival of another triple crown, the tired-looking Kato Akira reached out and rubbed the head of the East China Sea Emperor.

"It only took a few months from being unpopular in the beginning to being highly anticipated by everyone. In just a few months, you went from being a waste in people's eyes to an unparalleled genius. With this, I can rest assured."

"Trainer...are you tired?"

"It doesn't matter what my condition is, what matters is your own current condition."

Facing the East China Sea Emperor who did not pounce on him directly but had a worried expression, Kato Akira smiled and rubbed the head of the little girl in front of him.

The girl who once looked lifeless and like a doll gradually began to shine with life under his hands, and was now looking at him with concern. For Kato Akira, this was enough.

The Emperor of the East Sea was not an incompetent waste. Just like the animation he had seen in the past that inspired him, the firebird bathed in flames began to recover after falling. Even the sky itself seemed to have opened its eyes. None of the enemies participating in the chrysanthemum appreciation even had a domain. Not to mention blooming or fully blooming.

With such a competition scene, such enemies, and such a result, it was almost destined for the Emperor of the East China Sea to take first place.

Even Kato Akira didn't feel any inconvenience on the part of the Emperor of the East China Sea.

Her legs were flexible and elastic, her cheeks were smooth and tender, and her slender, somewhat grown-up face only showed worry about Kato Akira, and never any tension or worry that she might lose.

That's enough, it's enough. For Kato Akira, it was unimaginable to witness the current Emperor of the East Sea become the Triple Crown Horse Girl. This world was gentle enough for him, and he only needed to give him a few words.

"Don't think about your strongest strength. Your current running speed is already far beyond their reach. Just win however you want."

Looking at the Emperor of the East China Sea, Kato Akira laughed, patted her shoulder, and ignored her somewhat nervous words.

"We have the right time, right place, and right people on our side. Go out there bravely. You just need to not put pressure on yourself and run normally. In other words, you have already taken control of your own destiny. I'm afraid your future will be brighter than the symbol of Rudolph."

"But, trainer."

The Emperor of the East Sea looked at that

Kato Akira, who looked tired and even a little shaky, said nervously:

"You don't look well now. You should go to the hospital. It's okay with me. There's no need for you to come and look after me. Trainer, why don't you just -"

'Please enter the venue in an orderly manner.'

"Did you hear that? Let's go. You are my responsibility, who else should I look after if not you?"

With a hearty smile at the East China Sea Emperor who refused to move, he stretched out his hands and slowly pushed him out of the lounge.

"I'll rest here for a while, waiting for the news of your victory! When you win, you'll naturally see me welcoming you! Let's have a big meal then!"

"...Well, I understand."

Standing there, the Emperor of the East China Sea looked deeply at his trainer and nodded seriously.

Chapter 185: The Unblessed Triple Crown (10th update!)

For the Emperor of the East China Sea, everything now feels new.

Because it was a once-in-a-lifetime race, she should have been nervous and concerned. The dark red uniform on her body should have shone with the strong wind. In countless dreams, the Emperor of the East Sea dreamed of his own greatness.

Countless hardships and blood and sweat, countless glory and brilliance. My victory should be a matter of course, to become an undefeated triple crown champion like Rudolph Symbol, or even to win more G1 races and become a G1 horse girl greater than Rudolph Symbol. This was my dream when I was a child.

But, when did it start? She even forgot when her dream disappeared. She only remembered that after her fracture, she never thought about the feat of winning the Triple Crown during the long period of recuperation. She no longer had such a concept in her mind. And now, picking it up again, she didn't feel any special emotion.

Just doing the job.

Just to maintain its original color.

It feels like some kind of job that I have to do.

The thunderous cheers and deafening shouts that once stirred one's blood were completely invisible in this game.

Even when the Emperor of the East China Sea walked onto the competition field, the hostile horse girls did not seem to be taking the competition seriously. One of them was even yawning.

"By the way, did you watch the show last night? The plot of that new TV series seems quite tense..."

"Huh~ Not at all. Our team treated me as a pawn and sent me to the competition. Don't you think that's too much? They said it was to confuse others or something, isn't it just to see me talk about the strategy?"

"You've already said it... even though I've been defeated. Damn it, if I could have won first place, would I still be competing here now?"

"So what's your rank?"
