Stop being a trainer!

"First of all, I have become a trainer. But the timing of my success is a bit inappropriate due to the turmoil. I have to wait until the second half of the year to receive the bonus."

He lit the cigarette and put it between his lips. The faint mint smell made Kato Akira's mind brighter and clearer.

It is certainly a cause for celebration that Emperor Rudolf symbolizes victory, but what will happen next and how things will unfold depends on oneself.

She has completed her journey. After that, with clear division of responsibilities and powers, the emperor will not be able to do anything to shake the authority and essence of the URA, and the rules will return to their original position.

In this case, he can only find some trustworthy and capable horse girls within six months.

Although Goldsmith and Deep Impact each have their own flaws and advantages, looking at the way they both started three lengths slowly, it is clear that they will probably only be able to scratch the lottery tickets when the real competition comes.

The trainer's salary was relatively low, which was something that Kato Akira had not expected. In the next six months, he would need to live frugally and pay attention to various expenses in order to live a better life in this world.

But, comparatively speaking, I am indeed safe now.

No need to worry about inexplicable unemployment, no need to worry about anything else. At most, it is a matter of public opinion. For Tresen College, the opinion of the horse girl is the priority.

In other words, as long as he could convince a few horse racing girls like he was doing now, the future would be perfect.

Finally, they have reached this step, but looking at the bright moon, Kato Akira did not feel particularly excited.

Because he had already anticipated such a future.

If you want to become a dark trainer without blood or tears and enjoy a wonderful life in the future, this is just the first step.

First, you need to find those fully automatic racehorses, such as the good opera, the good self-training Kallen, and the heavy artillery that can change freely. These are all good choices.

Because they don't need too many training guidelines, they can find the right training method by themselves. In the remaining time, Kato Akira can find more potential seeds and expand his influence step by step.

In three to five years, as long as you become the best trainer, you can retire gloriously and only have a figurehead in URA.

Strive to achieve financial freedom within three years. This is the importance of foresight.

"However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and we still need a leader to take the lead..."

"Trainer-kun?"

"Huh? Rudolph? Why did you come out?"

Kato Akira, who was smoking a cigarette, looked at the slightly slender figure behind him with some surprise.

At some point, the symbol of Rudolph, dressed in casual clothes, appeared less than ten meters away from him.

As the first breakthrough, Rudolph paid the price of broken capillaries all over his body, strained muscles, and a series of bruises.

But it was like a miracle, there was no problem with her bones. So after being covered with various pills and plasters, Rudolph appeared in front of Kato Akira as if he had gained weight.

No, maybe she has gained weight. In order to speed up her recovery, Rudolph has fully utilized her specialties as a horse girl, eating a lot of medicinal food and drinking various potions every day. Now she can walk anywhere and appear in front of others freely. The price may be that she looks a little swollen like now.

"Your eyes are very rude, Trainer-kun."

"nothing."

Kato Mingyan insincerely turned his gaze back to Rudolph's symbolic face.

"Why did it suddenly come out? Has it finally reached the point where even Ma-Musume can't eat it anymore?"

"No, I just came out to get some fresh air. And, I also plan to give Trainer-kun a special opportunity and advice at the same time."

"Tell me?"

"If it's about responsibility, I have a better choice."

Sitting opposite Kato Akira, Rudolf also looked at the blue moon and shook his ears.

"Trainer-kun doesn't have any income right now, so he can only live in the school building temporarily, right? And the new person in charge won't be signed until the second half of the year. But now, I will give you a better choice."

"What choice?"

"emperor."

"?"

"Can you be a trainer for the Emperor?"

"Give me a special reason. You also know what the Emperor of the East Sea is like now."

Instead of falling into a state of ecstasy immediately, Kato Akira calmly took a puff of his cigarette. The icy mint scent filtered through his lungs and mind, bringing a calm atmosphere to his thinking.

Chapter 55: Celebration Banquet (Part 2) (Fifth Update!)

"Because, Emperor, she is the only horse girl who has come into contact with 'Destiny'."

“…Oh? How do you mean?”

“In fact, field, blossoming, and destiny are three completely different sections and three completely different things.”

Looking at Kato Akira in front of him, Rudolf tilted his head symbolically and stated a fact that was enough to cause a major earthquake in all the current horse girl research circles.

Fate is the inevitable result of the soul of a horse girl from another world taking over her body. It is a result rooted in the self. Ordinary horse girls live in a daze, but those powerful horse girls can feel the constraints of fate.

It is said that in Europe and America, there were horse girls who changed their fate, but here, even Rudolph, the symbol, was defeated by the power of fate. They can sense the traces of fate, but they don't know what the scratches mean.

Many people believe that blooming means the essence of destiny is integrated. But for Rudolph, as the first person to break the current ceiling of Uma Musume, she can tell Kato Akira that even if she blooms, it does not mean that she can change her destiny. Field, destiny, blooming, these are three things.

"The domain is actually a manifestation of a super-concentrated state. This is a technology that originated from humans. Human trainers will fall into a special state at certain special times. They will have a stronger control over their bodies, a clearer understanding of their surroundings, and even be able to do things that are almost impossible to do under normal circumstances, as if with the help of a god. This special super state is the domain."

"Because of their spiritual qualities, the top horse girls can reach a state of super concentration in every game when they know when to touch the trigger point. That is, when certain special conditions are met, they can stimulate this state of super concentration. The trigger point of each horse girl is different, and the abilities brought by the field are also different."

"But, blooming is obviously something different. Blooming is recognizing the essence of another world, and then the two merge with each other in the resonance of the mind, discovering the deeper power in the body. This is an ability unique to Uma Musume."

"Because humans don't have a so-called second soul, only Uma-Musume can fuse two souls that are separated into one. That's why flowers appear in this world."

“And destiny is neither blossom nor field, it is destiny.”

Rudolf looked at Kato Akira in front of him with a serious expression and whispered the terrible nightmare hidden in all the research.

“It’s hard for me to describe what fate is, but it’s like an invisible rope entangled in us. We move and run, and even though we try our best, we always end up with a strange ending.”

"Everyone knows that this shouldn't be the case, and that there's something wrong with the final result, but no one can find any reason, let alone the right to blame the winner. So we can only call this inexplicable rope 'fate' in confusion and pain."

"When fate arrives, we are like puppets on a stage. I can hardly describe the feeling in words, but that is fate. No matter how we struggle, no matter how we act, it will all converge into a complete, predetermined result. It's as if it should be this way. Can you understand?"

"..."

Looking at Rudolph's serious expression, Kato Akira still understood what she said, even though he knew it was abstract.

That is the projection of what happens in another world into this world.

Even though time and space are chaotic, even though many of the horse girls that appear now have incorrect names and different images, and the competitions and settings are very confusing, the results of many horse girls are the same as what happened in the past.

But because the people don't match, the things don't match, and the results of the race don't match, this fragmented "feeling" will make the most sensitive horse girl notice the bizarre ending. Obviously, the emperor was one of the challengers, but she failed.

Although challenging fate sounds simple, it is actually like charging into a thick fog.

You don’t even know what you are facing, or what the outcome will be. It is even possible that your resistance will lead to your fate.

But in Rudolph's eyes, there is someone who can anchor all of this.

"That child has avoided his fate in a negative sense. He is a unique individual."

Looking at Kato Akira who seemed to be thinking deeply, Rudolf whispered:

"She has now recovered, but there is no trainer to take over. Now is the last moment to sign the contract, so I hope that you, the trainer, can be the one who breaks the fate."

"…So why me? Don't say because we are acquaintances. We both know that this reason is not sufficient."

Sitting in a chair and looking at the Rudolph symbol in front of him, Kato Akira frowned and asked the question.

"Although my ability has just passed the trainer exam, you all know that I got the result through training. I can't compare with those real trainers from aristocratic families or those who graduated from professional schools. So why let me lead the Emperor of the East China Sea?"

"Feel."

"……what?"

"That's the feeling you give me, Trainer-kun."

Looking at Kato Akira who looked surprised, Rudolf spoke calmly.

"Just as I felt that I would definitely make the final breakthrough in the Dream Cup, I could also feel that, Kato Akira, you have that ability and that confidence."

"I believe my feelings will not deceive me. I believe you will accept this proposal, just as I accepted your proposal at the beginning."

"This is not a request, but a plea. I hope you can help the emperor, just as a friend."

"...You know, I've never been friends with high school girls. You're too emotional, and as horse girls, you express it in a very intense way."

Kato Akira smiled and extended his hand to the symbol of Rudolph, who was sitting upright but smelling of medicine.

"But I just like to support dreams. Okay, I will apply. But in the end, I hope you can be prepared for what the result and future will be. Since you have broken your fate, the future is unknown. I don't know what the result will be for her."

"Haha, it's as if you know her original future."

"That's not certain. Maybe the gods will tell me later. Let's go back and call them. It's time to go to the shrine. The time is almost up."

Standing up and patting Rudolph on the shoulder, Kato Akira suppressed the joy in his heart that he had become the Emperor of the East China Sea, and walked towards the room.

Chapter 56: First Visit, and Destiny (Sixth Update!)

Generally speaking, horse racing ladies choose to hold their Hatsumode during the day, because it seems more lively at that time and there are more relatives and friends.

But this time was different, because of the miracle brought by Rudolph's symbol, the number of horse racing girls who chose to perform Hatsumode that night was also rising steadily. Even like now, when we arrived at the shrine in the middle of the night, it was already crowded.

Ordinary people, horse girls, all kinds of noisy voices spread in the shrine. But compared to those humans who could hold on, the horse girls looked sleepy. After all, many horse girls were just children, and most of the time they were just joining in the fun.

Even the three little ones on Kato Akira's side looked sleepy. It would be better to say that the three little guys had fallen asleep for a while when they came here by car.

Although it was their own insistence, Kato Akira still decided to speed up and just pay the homage briefly.

Kato Akira still had awe for the existence of the three goddesses. After all, it was probably these three gods who dragged him here for some unknown reason. But for these rural gods, Kato Akira still valued the emotions of these horse racing ladies more.

"Orphie? Still awake?"

"Um……"

"It's your turn, Deep Impact, and Emperor's turn. Representative Qian Ming has already made a wish."

Looking at the goldsmith in front of him who was dazed and whose eyelids were twitching, Kato Akira whispered.

Representative Chiaki was still that free-spirited guy. He said they came together for the first ceremony, and after paying a casual visit, he said he was going to visit his parents, and then he disappeared in a flash.

The three little ones supported each other and managed to get to the shrine. In the cold winter wind, the spirits of the horse racing girls were blown by the cold wind, and they were also awakened. They each dropped a five-yuan coin into the offering box, and then began to bow their heads and pray in a proper manner.

Only at this moment can one feel that the Emperor of the East China Sea is indeed like a child.

Just like Deep Impact and Orpheus, three children of similar age all made unknown wishes with an extremely pious look.

"Let's make a wish quickly and take them back."

"Ah."

Looking at the three little ones lying on the cold stone slabs after making their wishes, looking like they were about to fall asleep, Rudolf shook his head with a hint of doting.

Now she no longer needs to pretend to be a tyrant, because the real run has been completed, and the Dream Cup has also been a complete success. Now she has restrained the murderous intent and domineering aura that permeated her body, and has become the calm and gentle symbol of Rudolph.

Although in many cases, the terrifying aura that burst out proved that something in the heart of Rudolf symbol had not changed at all, but for most people, all they could see was the gentle emperor treating her emperor.

The Emperor of the East Sea was indeed deeply cared for and even loved by Rudolph. Otherwise, he would not have spoiled him to such an extent that he indulged him.

After arranging the three horse girls who looked a little shaky and very disrespectful to the gods on the wooden railing nearby, Kato Akira and Rudolph the symbol walked to the front of the offering box together.

Even Rudolph, the symbol of the unruly and fearless, lowered his head when looking at the hazy statue and dropped the coin in his hand into the offering box.

This powerful horse girl also began to make an unknown wish devoutly.

Kato Akira followed the local custom and threw a five-yuan coin, clasped his hands together and made a wish in his heart.

"I hope to find a horse girl who is unprecedentedly powerful, listens to me, and races automatically this year..."

After taking a look at the symbol of Rudolph with his eyes closed and his hands clasped together, Kato Akira also closed his eyes.

He came from another world, so he should be in awe of this unknown power.

After two bows, two claps and one bow, the wish to the god ends.

Even the drawing of lots was skipped. After hastily tying a red rope, he planned to take the three little ones back home.

But Rudolph looked at Kato Akira, who was tying the red rope in imitation of others, and asked with a strange look:

"By the way, Trainer-kun. It's Hatsumode time, but you didn't ask your sister to come with you, but came with us. Is that okay?
