Stop being a trainer!

"…Yeah. Today I'm the one doing the deep impact."

Anyway, I guess it’s a matter of self-training, so there shouldn’t be any problem, right?

Taking one last look at the message from the Emperor of the East China Sea on his phone, Kato Akira looked at the angry Deep Impact in front of him and decided to give up checking the message for the time being.

Chapter 70 All of "Me" (Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a recommendation ticket! Please give me a reward!)

"Remember, I like to eat carrots, apples, bananas, and other dishes."

"Ah."

"And I like to use these special running shoes because my cadence is relatively fast, so the tip of the shoe needs to be a little bit rounded."

"Ah."

"The person I like should be decisive and strong, because I am a weak person, so I hope to have someone who can make up for my shortcomings as my partner."

"Ah."

"So, this is all 'me'."

Dates are always long and short.

It was as if they had done nothing, and yet as if they had done everything. After just a short period of time, the two of them sat on the Ferris wheel, looking at the scenery outside and sighing.

During this day, Deep Impact went to various places enthusiastically. For example, he shared his favorite music in the audio-visual store, shared his favorite food in the restaurant, and talked about his favorite characters and various types of novels in the bookstore.

Of course, most of the time they talked about horse racing. In fact, Deep Impact really loves racing, and just like what is written on her T-shirt, she is a speedist. It's like she wants to devote everything she has. In this short afternoon, Kato Akira has learned everything about Deep Impact.

Family, parents, hobbies, preferences, friends, dreams, everything, Kato Akira already knows it all.

In the enclosed space of this Ferris wheel, Deep Impact looked at Kato Akira in front of him and slowly stood up.

In front of Kato Akira, Deep Impact pressed his chest and looked into Kato Akira's pupils, as if to imprint his body in the eyes of this trainer.

"I've always wanted to show my full self in front of the uncle like Orphie did. My life, my dreams, my attitude, and my dedication to the life of a horse girl. So, trainer, what do you really think of me?"

"Even if it's cruel words, I want to know what the uncle really thinks of us. Because during this period of time, Orphie and I have been very uneasy. The matter of the East Sea Emperor senior, the matter of Rudolph, the symbolic president, and the matter of Qianming representative senior, we are still not your choice, we have been afraid of this."

"So I hope you can really tell me what you think of us and what you hope for us."

"..."

Kato Akira looked at Deep Impact holding his palm without any change in his expression.

When a person tells a lie, changes occur in multiple areas of the body.

For example, posture may change, facial muscles may move, and abnormal movements and physiological changes may occur.

Perhaps the legend that Umamusume can read people's minds is due to this somewhat bizarre, even completely unreasonable, observation. But Kato Akira never lies, and he has never really deceived these girls.

"...I hope you can continue to run on the field under my will."

Looking at the petite black-haired horse girl in front of him, Kato Akira looked into her eyes and spoke his thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

"I hope you can keep running, for me and for yourselves. No matter what kind of game it is, no matter what the situation is, from the past to the future, I hope you can keep running."

“Maybe many people just don’t understand, or just can’t comprehend, but I know that many horse girls are born talented, and I don’t want their talents to simply disappear. I hope they can reach higher places, and even if that doesn’t work, I hope they can appear on the field more often.”

"As long as you keep running, I will feel very happy. It's not others, but me who keeps running. If you are weak, then run slowly until you die. If you are strong, I also hope that you will pursue speed and strength, and run forever with your heart, until you die. This is how I think of you."

"...keep running? Forever?"

"Even if it means the end of the eternal destruction of the world in the future, I hope you can keep running. In the name of my responsibility."

With his hands on the shoulders of Deep Impact, there was no trace of gloom in Kato Akira's heart.

He never concealed his ambitions and desires. If he was needed to be a caring older brother, he would do it. If he was needed to be a scumbag, he would do it. As long as he could become a trainer and have a well-known person under him, his desires would be satisfied.

As long as he keeps running forever, as long as those horse racing ladies are moved and run with a single-minded focus, and run in major arenas, he will have more resources and wealth, and a higher reputation. All his words are true from his heart, without any confusion.

Kato Akira really hopes that all of his horse girls are strong, and then they can compete in major competitions and successfully make a name for themselves.

And even if you are not a famous horse girl or a strong man, it doesn’t matter, as long as you keep running, it will be enough.

For Uma Musume, his statement is—

"Even if you can never actually show up in a big-bounty race, I want you to run for me."

Bending over, his eyes fixed on the deep impact in front of him, Kato Akira had nothing to hide in his heart, it was all justice.

"I hope you, I hope everyone, I hope all my responsibilities can run forever, until I die. No, I hope so even after I die. This is my truth."

"……forever?"

"forever!"

Kato Akira looked at the girl in front of him and said firmly.

"As long as I can live with you, as long as there is hope, I want to see you running on the racetrack in my name. That's what I want."

"Eh?"

The Ferris wheel slowly descended, and Deep Impact looked at Kato Akira who was serious in front of him. His face suddenly turned red, and he held Kato Akira's hand, his expression suddenly becoming a little embarrassed.

"Ah, this is a more true answer than I thought..."

"What's wrong? Don't you think so?"

"No, no, I still need some time to think about it..."

Looking at Kato Akira in front of him, Deep Impact's face suddenly flushed, and he stammered as he pulled his hand out, as if he wanted to say something, but he looked conflicted.

And soon, she won't have to worry about it anymore.

"The gate has been opened. Please disembark in an orderly manner."

"I'm going back first! I'm really happy today! See you later——————"

"..."

This is quite fast.

Looking at the speeding away deep impact, Kato Akira shook his head.

Umamusume is such an emotional creature, always thinking too much about herself, and sometimes there will be some strange misunderstandings.

I'll explain it on the phone when the time comes. And the things haven't been taken away yet.

Looking at the pile of things left behind by the deep impact, Kato Akira sighed, paid a sum of money to the park, and entrusted them to be sent to Tresen College.

This was obviously not the first time this had happened, and the park staff naturally accepted the request. After confirming that he had nothing to do with it, Kato Akira set out on the road back to the trainer's dormitory.

However, at the next intersection after walking out of the park’s gate, he heard a clear voice.

As quiet as flowing water, as light as the sound of a bell.

"Welcome back, brother."

Under the light, the horse girl who seemed to cut through the morning and evening stood out from the shadows, looked at Kato Akira with a smile, and stretched out her hand.

Chapter 71 You Are Not My Brother

"It's exactly the same as expected. I didn't feel any presence, so I thought my calculations were wrong and I would have to wait a long time. Now it seems my calculations are still perfect."

"You are...equally divided between day and night?"

Why here?

Rather, why did this cheap sister appear outside?

Looking at the sweet and lovely girl smiling at Day and Night in the deserted street in the dark night, Kato Akira felt a wave of warnings in his heart for some reason.

He had never had any opinion about this sister. In his opinion, this equal division of day and night was most likely a gift from fate to him, but now that he had the Emperor of the East China Sea, he was not in a hurry to open the gift package.

The peak period and so-called decline period of Uma Musume have been symbolically disproven by Rudolph. There is no such thing as decline or so-called resignation. As long as they still want to run, Uma Musume can continue to run without any scruples. This is the soul of Uma Musume, and it is also the end point they are chasing.

So in Kato Akira's eyes, the child with equal day and night was more like a prepared big gift package than anything else.

But now, this big gift package suddenly grew legs and walked towards it by itself, which made Kato Akira feel a little weird.

After all, common sense tells us that as long as you don't open the gift package, the contents will be kept intact and won't change. So why does the division of day and night appear at this time?

"Did your date with Deep Impact-senpai go well? But I think she will run away shyly in the end. After all, although Deep Impact-senpai believes in speed above all else, her own judgment is somewhat lacking."

"...are you following us?"

"It's just simple calculation and judgment. Simple calculation and judgment. For a genius like me, I can get the conclusion with just a little calculation."

Her figure was even more mature and plump than Orphie and the others, and she looked like a high school student, walking slowly towards them at equal times of day and night.

The Tresson school uniform even seemed to be flowing with some unnatural white light in the night. Just looking at the delicate and small face that was equally divided into day and night was enough to make people dizzy.

I want to be fascinated by her, I want to be her partner, and even further, I want to be scolded by her, I want to be her captive. In front of this kind of charm that transcends human beings, ordinary people have absolutely no way to resist the power of fate.

But Kato Akira is different. As a straightforward scumbag, he will never indulge in a certain opposite sex.

Therefore, he judged that the man with equal days and nights was not just coming to see him.

"…Why are you here? Tomorrow is school time, and your task right now should be to study hard."

"How many times do I have to emphasize this, brother? I'm a genius. I've told you this many times before, but it seems like you didn't remember it."

Looking at Kato Akira's tall figure, Day and Night stood over, looked up at him with a bright smile.

"Or is it that you didn't forget it, but you don't have that memory at all? My dear brother, I'm afraid you are not the same person anymore, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm a genius. Rudolph is the symbol of the president who never forgets the face of every person she sees, and I'm even better than that."

He reached out and grabbed the corner of Kato Akira's clothes, and a strange feeling gradually spread across his face, which was divided into day and night.

"Everyone's movements, behaviors, ways of speaking, subconscious reactions and instinctive ways of walking are all different. And brother, no, or you who everyone thinks is the brother but is not actually the brother, how much have you changed?"

"You smell different from him, and your behavior is completely different from his. What's more, the way you look at me doesn't contain any desire or appeal at all. You are just looking at me. Just from this point, I can tell that you are definitely not my cousin, because the reason he wants to adopt me is very ugly. Otherwise, I would not have come to Tresen College."

"I obviously have stronger power and wisdom. I could even earn my living expenses through the Internet a long time ago, but I am always bound by this society. So my brother had evil thoughts about me. After all, brother, you don't know, right? Horse racing girls are still relatively rare in this world. It is a great honor to have a horse racing girl as a girlfriend or child bride. Moreover, horse racing girls are loyal and stable. Don't you think this is a very profitable business?"

"So? What are you going to say?"

"So I hope you can listen to my--"

"I won't listen. And you should go back to school now."

Kato Akira casually slapped away the palm that divided the day and night equally, and looked coldly at the little girl who seemed very confident.

"Since you are now a little horse girl, go back to school. I may not be your blood brother, but I have taken on your responsibilities, and you will also have to take on my thoughts in the future and run for me."

"...Why are you so confident, brother? It's obvious that something will go wrong if I tell you."

"So what? You said I'm not me, so what? Can anyone prove it?"

Looking at the confused girl who was dividing the day and night equally, Kato Akira sneered and found the horse girl's naivety and stupidity very funny.

"After all, you are just a little sister that I support. You can't take what you say as the truth. As long as everyone believes in me, agrees with me, and thinks that I am that Kato Akira, how could I be wrong?"

"Even if it's a mistake, it's only your ungratefulness, your attempt to intimidate adults, and your attempt to earn more benefits. Why did you point out that I'm not your brother? Don't I want to kill you? Doesn't that prove that I'm a prodigal son who has returned? And you can't kill me. After all, your future possibilities are much brighter than mine, so why should I worry?"

"Fate is on my side. I can't calm down so easily after coming to this world. Since God gave me your existence, it is destined that the three goddesses want me to do something. If this is my destiny, then why should I not accept it?"

"Besides, the day and night are equal. You didn't come here to reminisce with me or to threaten me. You just can't wait, right?"

"..."

In the darkness, the eyes of Day and Night, which looked at Kato Akira with a smile, were stained with a layer of red spirals, as if burning.

"…Why did you find out, brother? If so, wouldn't this rare conversation between family members be ruined?"

Chapter 72 In the Name of Shine

Once upon a time, there was such a horse racing girl.

She has a gentle personality and likes reading. Her favorite thing is the glittering world shown in animations and records.

As the story goes, her mind constructed a world that was cruel but passionate, sad but full of happiness.
