Stop being a trainer!

So he looked up at one of the two people in the office.

"Orpheus."

"?"

"Can you come over here and let me pat your head?"

"...?"

Orfi showed a very confused expression, looking at Kato Akira in confusion. But after thinking about it, he still went over obediently.

Feeling the feel of Orphie's long hair and seeing how Orphie was originally confused but soon squinted her eyes comfortably, Kato Akira also began to murmur in his heart.

No, this doesn't seem to match what was recorded in the data? Did the difficulty level drop? Why does Orphee look so docile and obedient? If I remember correctly, isn't it said that the Golden Master is a rare irritable guy who would beat or scold the trainer if he were a human? How can he be so honest?

And Da Zhen, if I remember correctly, Da Zhen should be very honest, like a woman in the horse world. If it were a horse girl, Da Zhen should be a thoughtful, elegant, and extremely clingy young lady. Looking at Da Zhen who was reading various materials and humming a little song, Kato Akira rubbed the little head of the goldsmith and looked tentatively at the deep impact.

"Deep impact? Do you want to come over and rub it too?"

"Eh? Eh? Me? I feel like the uncle is plotting something..."

Suspicious look.

And there is absolutely no way to deny it.

The horse girl with long black hair looked suspiciously at the goldsmith who had begun to squint and rub his palm like a puppy. Then, when she thought about herself being in such a scene, she immediately made the shape of an X with her hand.

“Ada! No! I’m not a horse girl that you can summon and dismiss at will. If you insist, I believe in speed above all else. A free horse girl like me will not be captured by two hands, so uncle, you should give up the chance to see me let down my guard!”

"But the Ferris wheel incident—"

"Wow! Ah! Wait, wait! I didn't say anything!"

Seeing the man making strange noises and quickly indicating the depth of the impact with his hands, Kato Akira also felt something strange.

The Great Shock does not seem like the kind of person who would come obediently as soon as he was called, and the Goldsmith does not seem like the Gold Master who would have his bones broken no matter what he does.

Could it be that it has to wait until it blooms or something else before it can have the same personality as a horse? Or is it just like the special week and the Holy King Halo, which is not a horse's personality at all? Among the many messy knowledge I learned from the barrage, these two points are still the ones I remember more clearly.

It looks like I'll have to ask these two for help in the future.

If I remember correctly, these two are more powerful cash cows than the Emperor of the East China Sea.

But then again, what exactly is the reason for their victory? I only saw comments praising them, but I didn't see what they said specifically...

Rubbing the goldsmith's little head and looking at the comfortable look of the horse racing girl, Kato Akira couldn't help but think so.

Chapter 132: Tresen Athletic Competition (8th Update!)

If you can't think of it, forget it. It's basically the same. I knew it was great before, but now I'm just sure of it.

Kato Akira quickly gave up thinking.

Gaining the advantage of two named horse girls is essentially no different from him already having the advantage of two particularly powerful racing horse girls.

He already knew that Goldsmith and Deep Impact were two excellent horse girls, so knowing that they were Great Shock and Golden Master was not much different in essence. They were winning both ways, and everyone said that these two were geniuses, unimaginably strong. Now it was just confirmed that they were indeed strong. It didn't seem to matter if he thought about it this way.

Unfortunately, Kato Akira has no idea what their original fate is, nor does he know what to do to avoid it. In other words, as named horse girls, they already have their own fate. And since they can be included in the barrage, it means that their fate may be stronger than they think.

What's there to say? If I remember correctly, the comments always mention Big Shock and Golden Master. They mention the two together, maybe it's Gemini or something?

Now it's the same period for Umamusume, so it's probably related to the whole year cut? That's it.

Anyway, Kato Akira felt that now that he had the Emperor of the East China Sea, his initial small goal had been achieved, and the rest was just a matter of whether God would give him face. And now it seemed that God not only gave him face, but even fed him food.

"Speak of it."

Rubbing the little head of the goldsmith to make her fully relax, Kato Akira looked at the deep impact and said:

"Aren't you going to participate in the Tresen Competition? There's also an open competition in a few days. You can get used to being surrounded by people in advance."

"Ah... well, I don't really want to participate, and Orphie is probably the same."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because we will definitely face off against each other."

Deep Impact fiddled with the tangram and said casually. It was as if it was a matter of course that people would die if they were killed.

"We will definitely meet on the field, and neither of us wants to use our full strength against each other. If we use our full strength in a place like this, it will not be good for future development. So we don't want to participate."

"Then why don't you just pick one to participate? Each of you pick a track."

"Yeah. It seems like we can each choose a track."

"So you two were thinking of dominating the entire track from the beginning? Your physical strength doesn't allow that."

Rubbing the little head of the goldsmith, Kato Akira looked at the deep-hit craftsman with a subtle expression. The craftsman seemed smart but there was always something missing in his brain.

In fact, Deep Impact only looks smart, but for some reason, as long as it encounters something related to Orphee, it seems that its intelligence and average quality level begin to decline sharply.

Moreover, the trend of deep impact's intellectual decline seems to be more serious around him. He used to be an independent expert who could solve cases on his own, but now after being in the industry for a long time, he looks confused and seems to be thinking about something, but in fact, his head is empty and he is not thinking about anything.

He didn't know if the legendary big shock was like this. She only had a bad temper when feeding, otherwise he would really feel disillusioned with the named horse girl.

Although Orphie's current state is quite disillusioning, I let it go because she's cute.

Kato Akira stroked Orphie's ears and straightened the hair on them. He rubbed the horse ears and continued to look at Deep Impact who was fiddling with the jigsaw puzzle in front of him.

As if it was a strange fate, an inexplicable feeling made Kato Akira suddenly realize a problem. Then Kato Akira blinked and asked the question naturally.

"But then again, you're all going to debut next year, right? If that's the case, won't your triple crowns be up for grabs?"

“…Ah.”*2

Don't you two think about anything?

Looking at the two faces that suddenly understood, Kato Akira didn't know how to complain about these two good roommates.

A horse girl can only participate in the Triple Crown event once in her lifetime. For horse girls with potential, it is a fierce competition, which may lead to a situation where the Triple Crown is scattered but everyone is very good.

Although Kato Akira doesn't think anyone can beat the two girls who were highly praised by the barrage master, if possible, Kato Akira still wants to add a total of four triple crown horse girls to his collection. Well, Emperor of the East Sea, Great Shock, Golden Master, and Day and Night are equal, four triple crown horse girls, which gives a special sense of accomplishment at first glance.

"Anyway, you two still have six years left. I've asked about the equal division of day and night, and she probably won't directly participate next year."

"Eh? Why? I remember that my sister was very keen on these things, wasn't she?"

"Because she runs when she wants to, and doesn't run when she doesn't want to. That kind of guy comes here just for the intramural open tournament."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because she wanted to pull down the professional horse racing girl."

After making a pulling motion, Orphie curled up like a kitten and soon slapped his ears in dissatisfaction, until Kato Akira put his hands on his head again and then he calmed down.

"Day and night are different from you. She is a person who thinks that anything is good as long as she can fight with the horse girl. According to her, as long as she can run with the strongest horse girl, she will kneel down and kowtow."

"…Your sister has a serious problem with her brain."

"What a coincidence, I thought so too."

After patting the head of the goldsmith who had begun to squint his eyes as if he was about to snore, Kato Akira indicated that the service was over. He looked at the two girls in front of him and asked the key questions casually.

"So? Are you going to compete for the triple crown together, or do you plan to run in the school's open competitions and sports meets first to get a feel for the atmosphere? And if there is a year difference, you can still meet in the classics and ancient horse races."

"Well, let's run the open race first. I'm actually quite interested in this. Let's run the middle distance. Two thousand meters on the grass. How about you, Orphie?"

"…mile race, grass."

"It's settled then, just go outside and sign autographs. You must come and watch our finals, uncle~"

"Does this mean we are in the finals?"

"Of course, it's us after all."

Deep Impact smiled and dragged the confused Orphie out of the room. Looking at the suddenly empty room, Kato Akira touched his chin.

He was a little curious why he suddenly asked that question, but before he could think of anything, he saw a text message from someone on his phone.

'Cold Jokebot: I have something to tell you, Trainer.'

Chapter 133: Rudolph's Symbol Returns (9th Update!)

"Trainer-kun, I'm here."

"You're here? Why did you choose such a remote place, Rudolph?"

"..."

"Luna."

“Because I want to observe.”

Standing in the corner of the campus, Rudolph symbolically watched the lively scene and hid in the shadows of the campus.

This was where Kato Akira once stood. It was here that Kato Akira watched those horse racing girls and ignited some ideas of becoming trainers.

Calculating the time, it has been almost half a year or even a year. However, because time has been running around, Kato Akira even feels that less than a month has passed.

Just looking at those happy horse racing girls, Kato Akira could feel a sense of comfort from the bottom of his heart. He didn't want to send them to the lottery scratching position. After all, after winning the Yayoi Award, the 10 million bonus had temporarily satisfied him, so Kato Akira just looked at the horse racing girls over there, and then looked at the Rudolph symbol beside him.

In fact, after that hug and mutual understanding, the two chatted on their phones for a long time at night. They talked about each other's preferences, their understanding of the East China Sea Emperor, their aspirations for the future, and their past experiences. Although he couldn't talk about the time travel, and didn't talk about his past, Kato Akira still tried hard to make Rudolph understand the difficulties of others and the malice in this world.

Because as horse girls, they often overlook a lot of things. They are naturally blessed, naturally loved by countless people, and born to be blessed.

But since Rudolph symbolizes wanting to accomplish her great cause, Kato Akira believes that he should also give her a hand and tell her about many disasters that have occurred in the past, as well as many problems and loopholes that happened to him but were applied to him.

During this time, the two of them became more and more familiar with each other. It was common for them to invite each other out to see the scenery. Sometimes, Rudolph would even say that he wanted to treat him to lunch, but Qianming called him away. In short, they were very friendly friends.

Kato Akira is not opposed to such a good-friend relationship. After all, becoming friends with students is the best way to educate them. So Kato Akira is actually very patient with all the horse girls. After all, these children's running brings him money. In order to be worthy of this bonus and salary, Kato Akira will also do his best to build good relationships with these children. Anyway, the victory has been confirmed, so isn't it normal to be merciful?

So Kato Akira had no doubts about Rudolph's symbolic invitation this time, but walked directly to this familiar corner, stood side by side with Luna, and looked at the lively and bustling scene outside.

The Tresin Tournament is an open competition that covers all grass, dirt, all distances and all formats over three days.

Whether you are a new student, a preparatory school student, a professional athlete, or even a retired adult horse racing girl, as long as you apply, you can participate. There are no requirements or rules. As long as you participate, you can play. The gates with 18 people fully loaded and the track that runs all day long are enough to meet any competitive needs.

The original intention of this activity was to let the students feel the style and pressure from mature professionals, so as to motivate themselves to move forward. But now with the increase in the number of geniuses, it has become a kind of fun to make professionals fail. In addition, because it is an open tournament, there are often tens of thousands of people watching and cheering on the field, and the noise is as loud as some large-scale events, which can also make the horse racing girls feel this fierce competitive atmosphere.

So even though there is no name for the competition system, it attracts a large number of reporters to come here for interviews and reports every April and October. The Emperor of the East China Sea gained a reputation as a genius here, but then died young.

Kato Akira only has mortal eyes, so naturally he can't see everything clearly from such a distance.

So after accepting the invitation, Kato Akira quickly picked up his telescope, looked at the horse racing girls who were showing their youth and sweat under the lens, and began to look for the figures of the goldsmith and deep impact.

These two people were easy to find. They had an unbeatable record and were unbeatable in all the training matches. They stood beside the track like two generals. After Kato Akira looked at them through his telescope, Deep Impact quickly shook his ears as if he had sensed them, looked over here, and then raised his hands happily and waved them, and then made a big heart shape to him.

...like a stupid roe deer. Is this the big shock? It's really nagging.

Instead, the goldsmith next to her pulled her arm with an embarrassed look on his face, signaling her to stop embarrassing herself.

While Kato Akira was enjoying the pantomime through a telescope, he heard a slight, seemingly casual question from Rudolf beside him.

"By the way, Trainer-kun. What was that string of rejection messages you sent me earlier? Was there someone who borrowed your phone to do this prank?"

"Oh, nothing much. It's the Emperor of the East Sea."

"……Eh?"

"She asked me if I liked you and if I wanted to date you."

Kato Akira stuffed a piece of substitute chocolate into his mouth and looked at the figures on the field with a very natural expression.

"Of course I said no. After all, you are a student and I am a teacher. So in order to make it clear to the Emperor of the East China Sea, I used harsher words. I'm sorry."

"...I see. The emperor did this, so don't blame the trainer. After all, if I were in your position, I would make the same choice."

Rudolph was startled for a moment, then smiled.

"Where is the King of the East Sea? I just want to participate in the open tournament with him."

"?"

Listening to Rudolph's words with a smile on his face, Kato Akira was stunned.

"Didn't you just say that you were going to keep an eye on this place?"

"Women are fickle, Trainer-kun. The same is true for horse girls. I'm suddenly eager to have a run-and-run with the Emperor of the East Sea."

"Eh? Ah, yeah."
