The trainer, whose time is running out, just wants to survive

"But I didn't expect that I would see you here, Aldan. It seems to have been a long time since we last met, right? Was it during the active duty period?"

"Well, it's been a long time, Tamamo and Oguri Hat-san." As a former opponent, Aldan was not rated as one of the "Heisei Top Three", but he was still very familiar with Tamamo and Oguri Hat. He answered Tamamo's greeting, and then asked with a bit of curiosity:

"But... I didn't expect Tamamo and Oguri Hat-san to be in Trainer Kitano's team? Are you also in charge of Trainer Kitano?"

"Ah? Haha! That's not the case. We're just following Oguri to make a living." Tamamo was also slightly stunned, and then waved her hand and explained: "Although I can't appreciate the skills of trainer Kitano, but Afunune Xiao Zhongshan and the others also did a great job!"

"Ah! And Xiaoli, Aldan, you can't guess, right? Xiaoli can actually cook! We only found out some time ago that this guy is quite hidden! You must try Xiaoli's craftsmanship this time! "

As he spoke, Tamamo began to speak with a hint of envy that could not be concealed. He looked at the invincible figure in front of him who had not yet become his own character, as if he was seeing a microcosm of his own past, and couldn't help but sigh:

"That's great. I wish we had a reliable trainer like Kitano. In that case, our journey would have been much easier..."

However, as soon as Tamamo said this, everyone in the dormitory fell into a strange silence.After sighing with emotion, Tamamo realized that everyone was looking at him with a subtle look, and then he realized that there was something wrong with what he just said.

"Huh? That, let's, let's just express our emotions, that's what we feel, right?"

"Wait a minute, Xiaoli, why are you looking at me like that?! Did we say something wrong?"

Tamamo, who was increasingly unable to explain, also noticed Oguri Hat's resentful expression at this moment. In addition to Oguri Hat, Suzuka, Jie Jie, and Aldan all looked like "I didn't expect you to be such a person, Tamamo." It made Tamamo feel that she couldn't argue.

Among them, the invincible look in his eyes that he had just joined the team less than half an hour ago was the most deadly.In fact, Qianming and Wuwei had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong with this team from the very beginning.But now, first of all, Chiaki's mistress-like behavior, coupled with Tamamo's "unintentional words" now, and so many racing girls gathered around Kitano... She can probably guess what this team is like. It's the same thing.

And when he thought of this, Wudi's small but extremely powerful little fists clenched tightly, and his pair of sky-blue eyes finally had a hint of warmth, but they only became more cold as he stared at Kitano. back view.

"It's okay, Tamamo. If you and Oguri Hat really want to join, our team will certainly welcome you."

It was also at this time that Kitano saw Tamamo looking in embarrassment and took the initiative to help Tamamo out.Beiye didn't seem to notice the expressionless Wudi's micro-movements. He came to Wudi's side without fear and said softly:

"Although my abilities are limited, as long as every horse racing girl wants to join my team, I will try my best to arrange the best for each of them. Experienced horse racing girls like you are actually mine. The most missing member of the team.”

"Actually, I thought a lot on the way back from Mejiro's house today." Kitano also turned his attention to Wudi beside him. Seeing that his daughter now looked like she didn't recognize him, she also He still didn't change his attitude. Instead, he respected her thoughts and conveyed his feelings to the other party in his own way.

"The child Wuwei and I both exist without the company of our parents. Actually, a large part of the reason why I want to become a trainer is that I hope that I can be the 'guide' for these children. I also want to Be treated like family by them.”

"Now, I want to understand. From now on, I will treat each of my responsibilities like a father treats his daughter. I will do my best to pave the way for their dreams, like a He silently supports them like a father."

"——Tch, who cares about someone like you being a father? It's so troublesome." As soon as Kitano said this, the first thing that came to his mind was Zhongshan Celebration. Although there was a slightly moved expression on Celebration's face, But most of them still felt shy about being taken advantage of by Kitano, and pretended not to care.

Suzuka is similar, but compared to shyness, Suzuka has a more joyful expression, but she said silently in her heart:

"Just being a daughter... is not enough, Trainer-san. I don't want our relationship to stop here."

However, unlike Suzuka, Oguri Hat seemed to be quite touched by Kitano's words. His eyes that were a little resentful because of Tamamo suddenly regained their former composure.And her ears that kept swinging up and down seemed to indicate the fact that Oguri Hat seemed to be very satisfied with this status.

But there is no doubt that the person who was most touched by the words "treat her like a daughter" was the silent Golden Ship at this moment.Golden Boat's body trembled violently, almost obviously. This horse racing girl, who was considered the tallest in the audience except Kitano, turned her head away almost immediately without any trace, and stretched out her hand pretending not to care. I wiped away a few tears from the corners of my eyes.

Maybe...this is not bad.This may be the best ending. I...what else do I want to verify?

Golden Ship also took a few seconds to calm down, and soon returned to his usual relaxed smile.Along with the subtle change in Golden Boat's mentality, she also began to feel that her originally lost clusters of hair seemed to be changing from transparent back to their original color at a speed she could feel...

And in all this, all the people whose eyes were now focused on Wudi did not notice anything unusual about the golden ship.

And the words delivered by Kitano seemed to have an effect. This horse racing girl, who had never felt her father's love since she was a child, finally loosened her clenched fists again after a long silence. The chestnut ponytail swayed for a while, finally calming down the turbulence in his heart.

"...Can we train now? I haven't done basic training in the past few days for fear of deteriorating."

"Of course." Seeing that Wudi finally made his request, Kitano agreed immediately.The subtle changes in Invincible were also noticed by him. Kitano, who had always believed that his love should be expressed, now saw subtle results!

But at this time, suddenly, a sound like the chirping of insects slowly echoed in the dormitory.Almost at the same time, everyone turned their attention to the direction of Little Li Hat. Obviously, everyone thought that the sound should be made by Little Li Hat.

"——My stomach is not growling. Although I am a little hungry, it's not me." Xiaoli Hat also glanced around blankly, and quickly refuted everyone's stereotypes.But it was at this moment that a slightly embarrassed voice from Wudi finally came and said:

"...It's mine. I'm a little hungry."

"If you're hungry, we can have lunch together and then go to training." When Aldan heard the news that Wudi was hungry, he immediately stood up.And Kitano was not to be outdone. He nodded and said:

"Then leave the cooking to me. My body should be able to support it now... Jingye, Ah Chuan, can you please help me?"

"Yes, yes..." Zhongshan Festival also waved her hand. She originally wanted to persuade Kitano not to force herself, but seeing his high-spirited look, she knew that he wanted to show off his skills in front of Invincible, and she did not dissuade Kitano at the moment. .

"Just how much can Wuwei eat? We usually cook in rations. How many bowls of rice can she eat?"

"..." However, facing the gazes of Bei Ye, Aldan and others, Wu Di didn't think much and silently stretched out a finger.Kitano was a little surprised when he saw this, and asked in disbelief: "A big bowl?"

"...Keep eating." Wudi spat out three words lightly, but this simple sentence was like a mountain of treacherous weight, making Beiye and others a little breathless.

Because they realized that Invincible was probably not joking... This lunch, no, all the meals in the future, I'm afraid they have another extremely difficult "opponent".

Chapter 72: King-level invincible, extremely hard-working genius

"Trainer-san? Is it okay? Does your waist feel better?"

"No... there's probably no problem anymore - hiss, it's so sour."

Although Kitano didn't have time to take care of Wuwei in the past, he also knew that raising children was a very hard task.Especially when the child is a racing girl with great potential, the pressure on the parents is actually very huge.

However, even if Kitano was mentally prepared, when he really started to take care of Wuwei, the "food" test alone made him complain so much that he almost couldn't make it through.

There is no other reason, because what Invincible said about "eating all the time" was definitely not a joke.After Kitano, Jianye, and Golden Boat started making lunch, Wudi and Oguri Hat took their seats early, waiting for the dishes to be served one after another.

However, unlike Xiaoli Hao who silently started to eat the dish as soon as it was served, Wu Di stopped Xiaoli Hao from using his chopsticks first in time.This little horse racing girl was not afraid of the gaze of Little Li Hat, who was much older than her, and said calmly:

"... There is a well-established custom in our area. At home, you have to wait until the dishes are served and everyone is seated before you can start eating. Otherwise, it is impolite."

"At least let the cook take the first bite of the hot meal. This is the most basic thing."

"……I see."

What was unexpected was that Oguri Hat, who had always regarded eating as a top priority, did not show any displeasure at all after being interrupted by Invincible.On the contrary, she was extremely tolerant of Invincible, and even accepted the term Invincible, and sat down quietly to wait.

——To be honest, when Wu Di said these words, Kitano's heart was busy with the celebration and Fune, and it actually felt quite warm.At that time, he even moved his hands a little faster, and deliberately made a few tricks that he was not familiar with. It was obvious that he was determined to show off his daughter.

However, when Kitano served up plates of carefully prepared dishes and had lunch with everyone, he realized that his idea was too naive...

Kitano and others all expected that Wudi, who was growing in body, might really be good at eating, but none of them expected that Wudi's appetite would be so big that he could compete with Oguri Hat!

A horse that travels a thousand miles can eat as much grain or stone as it eats.Kitano still remembers such ancient articles clearly, especially after becoming a trainer of horse racing girls, and after taking over racing girls with big appetites such as Oguri Hat and Special Weeks, Kitano was even more convinced that food intake is very important for a racing girl. Generally speaking, it often determines her potential.

Generally speaking, a racehorse girl who can run long distances tends to have a larger food intake. They all need a lot of food to accumulate the energy needed to run long distances.For example, in Special Week, she challenged the Spring Emperor's Prize, the longest distance among GI events. The distance was 3200 meters, which made her consume a lot of energy every time she ran. The feedback effect was that after each race, Special Week's food intake It will go to a higher level.

However, Kitano's daughter is even more of a heavyweight. 3200 meters may be the limit for Special Week, but it is by no means the limit of invincibility.This horse racing lady, who will be called the "King of Horses" in the future, not only performs well in mile and middle distance events, but the most ruthless thing is that she has challenged ultra-long distance events of 5000 meters and even 8000 meters, and won the championship in both of them. !

The Mejiro family's super endurance and long-distance genes have received mutation-level feedback in Invincible, creating this "King of Horses" that almost no other racing girl can match in terms of physical fitness, even if Invincible today is not She was originally in character, but her super-powerful genes had begun to beat, urging her to continuously absorb energy for her body's growth.

——And this led to the fact that after Oguri Hat, another bottomless-level horse racing girl joined the competition, Kitano's cooking pressure skyrocketed.

Moreover, I don’t know if it’s Kitano’s illusion... Although Invincible can also eat the dishes from the festival and Afune, most of her attention is focused on the dishes made by Kitano herself. She and Oguri Hat are alone. Wrap half of it, and soon Kitano's dishes will be cleared away, and then he will ask for another plate.

To Kitano's despair, while he was busy preparing food for Invincible and Oguri Hat, another uninvited guest suddenly came to visit...

"It smells so good! This smell - is Trainer Kitano cooking?! I can come and help with some of the cooking!"

Yes, that special week that came out of nowhere and came as soon as he smelled it became the last straw that broke Kitano's mind.If Tamamo, who had a relatively small appetite, and the considerate Aldan hadn't immediately stood up and took up the responsibility of cooking, Kitano would have had to live longer to survive today.

"But it's great to be able to pass the test smoothly, Trainer Kitano. That child seems to like your cooking very much."

Aldan faced Kitano, who was now so tired that he slumped in the wheelchair again, but he kept recalling the exceptionally harmonious scene in his mind. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and he seemed to be in a good mood.This horse racing girl who was gentle to the core also gently whispered to Kitano:

"Next time if you have a chance, let me help Trainer Kitano? I believe that Invincible child will also be very happy. She ate a little too much today, didn't she?"

Aldan's words also made Kitano nod thoughtfully. The invincible appetite indeed made him feel unexpected, but besides being tired, Kitano was more happy.This just shows his daughter's excellent endurance and talent. Kitano will not do anything to restrain her invincible appetite. Like Oguri Hat, she needs to eat well to ensure that her strength can be fully exerted.

Especially for today's meal, Wudi was obviously a little exhausted, but he insisted on finishing the last bite of the food made by Kitano and Aldan.This kind of behavior is very similar to the behavior of Oli Hat who overeated and searched for the taste he wanted.

This made Kitano even more determined. The blood connection between him and Aldan was still exerting a subtle influence on Invincible. This also made Kitano more convinced that Invincible was the essence of him and Aldan.

It's just...Normally, Kitano would definitely not be able to do this every day to feed Wuwei, otherwise he would have to die of exhaustion.Therefore, if you want to reward Wuwei in the future, you can cook a good meal like today. I believe Wuwei will accept such a reward.

"..." On the other side, Representative Qianming also looked curiously at Aldan, who had just joined the team and was very close to Kitano.He set his sights on Invincible on the field again, feeling not only puzzled but also a little bit sour and nervous.

Qianming felt a little panic in his heart. Although Wudi had just joined the team, he left a very good impression on Qianming at first - but the reason for all this was because Qianming felt a feeling from Wudi that was very similar to Kitano. breath.

But now, Qianming thought about it, and suddenly she was surprised to find that this pony girl from the Mejiro family looked too much like her trainer?

Not only her experience, but also her eyes, eyebrows...many things are somewhat similar to Kitano.

Combined with Kitano's various performances before, this made Qianming uncontrollably think of a certain possibility... But she still shook her head subconsciously. After all, this possibility was simply contrary to common sense. Let's not talk about Kitano's physical condition, and his age. I don’t support him having such an old daughter.

But... when Qianming thought about the bizarre things that happened to Kitano, it seemed to be quite a lot. She also felt that her guess was not impossible, otherwise, such a pony girl who was so similar to her trainer, Where did it appear?

"——As for Trainer Sang, you only need to do your best to do your own thing. Even if it is something that Trainer Sang cannot do, you can safely leave it to me and Miss Aldan. This is what we are in the team. That’s the meaning of it.”

Qianming, who was puzzled, temporarily put aside her petty thoughts and answered Kitano with a relaxed and nonchalant smile as always.But this time, she did not give Kitano and Aldan another chance to communicate their feelings. Instead, she brought the topic to Invincible and said with a bit of surprise:

"But... Xiao Wudi's talent is indeed quite powerful. He is obviously not in his own way, but he can actually keep up with them during endurance training with Oguri Hat and the others, and it is even effortless."

"She can actually run a race, right? This kind of physical strength is something that few active racehorse girls can possess."

Representative Qianming's words also successfully diverted Kitano and Aldan's attention to Invincible.On the field not far away, with Suzuka as the leader and the youngest Wuwei at the end, they also started today's training after lunch - endurance.

This training project was proposed by Kitano. He mainly hopes to see how strong the unconventional invincible endurance is from this training. He will not blindly believe in the horse racing record in his mind, because He knew very well that no matter how talented a horse racing girl was, they would not be able to achieve their future achievements without training.

Just like Invincible, the Golden Ship has the blood of the Mejiro family flowing in its body. Kitano certainly knows that the Golden Ship's physical fitness is her strength, but Kitano has never neglected the Golden Ship's physical training because of this. If her potential is not stimulated, she will never be able to Will become part of the strength. What Kitano has to do is rely on his own experience and advantages to help the racing girls avoid detours, so that they can reach the peak state in historical facts faster, and then try to reach the next level.

But slowly... as the racehorse girls ran more and more laps, Kitano, Aldan and Qianming's expressions slowly changed from calm and indifferent at the beginning to serious...

"Huh... I ran so happily, but it won't be good if I keep running..."

The first person to announce his withdrawal from the endurance test was Silent Suzuka, who was not known for his endurance.This time, Suzuka performed exceptionally well and ran several more laps than before. However, her endurance was still not as good as that of the other racing girls. She was also overwhelmed by ambition and retreated to Kitano's side first.

And soon, Suzuka's withdrawal caused a chain reaction. Zhongshan Festival, which had already reached its limit but refused to be the first to withdraw, saw Suzuka being the first to withdraw, and was out of breath in the next lap. He ran out and sat down on the ground, breathing heavily without any image:

"Huh... Huh... These guys are all physical monsters... I really can't compare to them over long distances... Damn it..."

"It's already pretty good, Yingying, you performed very well this time." Kitano, who was in a wheelchair, also handed a bottle of sports drink to Zhongshan Yingying who was lying on the ground, and watched Yingying eagerly drink it after taking it. He also patted the shoulder of the celebration to tell her not to worry, and praised:

"I originally thought that your physical fitness could not support long distance events, but now it seems that as long as you train well, you will have a chance to challenge long distance in the future."

"...But it's still not as good as these guys." However, although Kitano's praise at the moment gave the penultimate Zhongshan Festival a little relief, the penultimate Zhongshan Festival was still more anxious and depressed because she was very He knew clearly that his talent in endurance was not as good as the Golden Boat. He won Suzuka simply because Suzuka was not a racing girl in the endurance field at all, and had nothing to be proud of.

But what makes Zhongshan Celebration even more frustrated is the newcomer’s unrivaled talent...

"What kind of monster is this guy? Even though he hasn't even started to transform into his own form yet, his physical fitness is even better than mine. Is it possible that her physical fitness can be stronger than that guy from the Golden Ship?"

On the court, Wudi remained calm and breathing freely, which brought a great sense of imbalance to the Zhongshan celebration.This new guy is obviously more talented than her, but his foundation is better than hers?She has obviously just arrived in Japan, so logically speaking, she should not have received formal training, right?Isn’t it said in China that they are very resistant to profit-making organizations such as horse racing girls?

Zhongshan Celebration is not afraid of those horse racing girls who are more talented than her. After all, talent and strength are not linked. Who wins and who loses on the field is another matter.But people like Wu Di, who are extremely talented and work even harder than her, make Zhongshan Celebration feel a huge threat and fear.

People are afraid of comparison, especially when a genius is right in front of them. What is even more terrifying is that the genius you think works harder and harder than you do, without giving you any chance to breathe.

Slowly, the third eliminated person finally appeared. Oguri Hat, who was not so strong in long distance, also quietly retired after a long period of consumption.At this moment, there are only four jockey girls left on the field, namely Tamamo and Tokushu who have both won the Spring Emperor's Prize, and in Kitano's memory, the Golden Ship will also win the Spring Emperor's Prize in the future.

Outside the three of them, Wudi's figure who was a bit shorter but didn't even take a step behind him seemed so conspicuous... and shocking.

"It's really an... unexpected existence."

At the height of the training ground at this moment, the symbolic figure of Lu Duo, who did not know when he appeared here, was also watching the scene condescendingly like a king.And the Emperor of the East China Sea was also by her side, as dazzling as the prince beside the king.

But at this moment, the monarch "father and son" focused all their eyes on the invincible body in the arena, staring at this little racing girl who had recently been recruited by Kitano and had already made a name for herself.

Different from Rudolph's appreciation, the Emperor of the East China Sea, who had never been interested in joining Kitano's team, looked at the invincible figure with particularly rich flames in his eyes...

Even though she has no memory of this racing girl who was once treated like a daughter by Kitano, her strong fighting spirit reflects the strong desire in her heart to compete with the invincible. .

Chapter 73: The Emperor of the East China Sea who was very disdainful of Wudi, Wudi’s “heart knot”

"These two little guys - they are quite capable."

As for Tamamo and Tetsuo Zhou, who were galloping on the field, they both became unexpectedly invincible and even Golden Ship could follow them to this point without falling behind. The two people who originally had the idea of ​​​​just coming to serve as sparring partners for their juniors were also subtle at this moment. changed my mind...

You know, Invincible is a horse racing girl who has not even fully transformed into her own character, and the situation of Golden Ship is only better than that of Invincible, but she is still just a racing girl in the rookie stage.However, both Tamamo and Tokoku Shuko have been in the industry for a long time. Although they are not at their peak, they are definitely much stronger than the newcomer Saima Musume. They have received more training, and their experience and training accumulation are no better than these two. Beginner horse girls need to be strong.

But now, they surprisingly discovered that the endurance results they had trained for so many years did not seem to make them invincible with the golden ship. There was no big gap between them.

No, this does not mean that there is no gap. Do these two still have strength?Especially Xiao Wudi, she seems to be at ease!

At this point, even Tamamo and Tokushu, who have won long-distance races such as the GI Spring Emperor's Prize, feel a little heavier in their steps.And if two juniors who have not received much long-term training can keep up with them...

"That's really - interesting." The corners of Tamamo Cross's lips gradually raised. She and the special Zhou next to her in the front row looked at each other. They were both horse racing girls, even though they didn't have many friends in the past. communication, but one look can read the fighting spirit in each other's eyes, and thus know each other's thoughts.

By this time, the nature of this training had quietly changed.The idea of ​​Tamamo and Tetsuo Zhou gradually changed from sparring to testing the true strength of their juniors.

Tamamo: "It would be very shameful if we, as seniors, lose to the juniors."

Qi Qizhou: "Ugh - in terms of endurance, just think I lost. After all, when I was the same age as A Chuan and Xiao Wudi, I didn't have such physical fitness at all."

"——But, endurance alone is not enough. Competition is always about overall quality!" X2

Suddenly, Qi Zhou and Tamamo's aura also underwent earth-shaking changes.Behind the two girls, Golden Ship and Invincible, who were still competing silently, felt this change for the first time, and turned their serious eyes to the front...

In particular, Zhou and Tamamo did not explode immediately, but gave the two juniors behind them time to react. This was obviously because they wanted to compete with them in an upright manner.And now they are only 400 meters away from the nearest finish line!

"The 400-meter explosion... It's really troublesome. Lord Gold Ship, I don't have much energy left..."
