Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 63 I love running the most

After a while, the stands at the front of the auditorium.

Looking at the horse girl with pink and white bangs beside him, Yasui Zhen said with a strange expression:

"...In other words, you hid there to give Xiaobei a surprise?"

"Hehehe, that's right..."

Scratching her cheek, the horse racing girl said with a silly smile, embarrassedly:

"Because I don't want to disturb him while he's preparing and entering the gate, I want to..."

At this moment, a nervous and longing voice suddenly came from the side.

"Hello, Senior Zhou, could you please sign an autograph for me? I've always admired you!"

The horse racing girl with pink and white bangs was none other than Special Zhou, who was discovered by Yasui Makoto at the exit of the underground passage. After hurriedly explaining her purpose, she followed Yasui Makoto to the stands of the audience.

This horse racing girl is very popular in Japan. On the popularity list, her ranking is almost always in the top three, so she has the title of "the most popular horse racing girl".

Because of this, when she came to the audience seats here, many audience members recognized her, and many came over to ask for her autograph and take photos with her.

Most of the people here are trainers watching the race. Some of them bring their horse girls with them. The one who came over and wanted an autograph was one of them.

This horse racing girl looks about 12 or 3 years old, and has not yet entered the traditional style. Her little face is full of childishness.

There are three golden star earrings next to the left ear, semi-long brown hair, a little white meteor on the bangs in front of the forehead, and bluish-white hair flowers on both sides of the hair.

"Ah, okay, okay."

Being interrupted by the little horse girl, Te Te Zhou smiled instead. After taking the signature board and pen, she smiled and said:
"Thank you very much for your likes. How would you like me to sign it?"

"That, that..."

The little horse girl was excited for a moment, then clenched her fist and said:

"'I hope Xiaoyong can become Japan's number one horse girl', is that okay...?"

"Number one in Japan..."

Te Bie Zhou was surprised for a moment, then memories flashed through his eyes and he nodded with relief.

"Yes! No problem at all! Your name is Xiaoyong, right? I believe in you, you can definitely become the number one horse girl in Japan!"

"Yeah! Thank you, Special Zhou-senpai!"

He signed his name with a smile, wrote down the words that the little horse girl wanted, handed the signature board over with both hands, and watched the little horse girl leave happily with a smile. Zhou was particularly moved.

"Number one in Japan... what an impressive junior."

After watching all this and hearing the sighs, Yasui Makoto thought for a moment.

"If we're talking about Japan's best, then Special Zhou, who won the Japan Cup, is undoubtedly the one who deserves it. Could I ask if you had that thought from the beginning?"

"Hey?"

Te Te Zhou looked over and blinked, "Why would Mr. Yasui ask that...?"

"Well... maybe I was thinking of Xiaobei."

After smiling, Yasui Zhen looked towards the stage circle.

The Northern Black Horse competition has not officially started yet, and is currently in the appearance circle stage.

The broadcast was introducing the basic information of the contestants, and it would not be long before the horse girls would appear.

"When I first signed the agreement with her, I asked Xiaobei why she wanted to become a horse girl and why she wanted to embark on the path of the Shining Series."

Yasui Zhen continued:
"She told me that it was because she admired President Donghai Emperor, because of the support of her grandfather and family, and because of the agreement she had made with her best friend since childhood.

“There are still many ideas after that.

"I have no experience coaching Uma Musume before, and admiration, support, and promises... to be honest, these are not things I'm good at.

"So what I actually want to ask is, how did Mr. Zhou Te... no, I should say, how did Mr. Zhou Te embark on such an outstanding career path?" This was his true thought.

He had reflected on himself very early on and realized that he was not a genius, just like Beifang Xuanju. If he wanted to achieve outstanding results, he had to work hard and accumulate bit by bit.

For this reason, even though he has obtained a trainer's license, he has never slacked off in his studies and improvement.

On the one hand, it involves reviewing what you have learned in the past, reading cutting-edge research in the industry, and repeatedly watching various competition videos and interviews with trainers.

On the other hand, communicating and asking for advice from various horse girls is also a form of learning and improvement.

Previously, he had communicated a lot with Yamato Akagi and Vodka during the opportunity of parallel running training.

At this moment, facing the equally outstanding Uma Musume, he also wanted to seek some inspiration and experience from Tokuteki Zhou.

"Senior? Mr. Yasui, why don't you just call me classmate? The trainer calling me senior or something... hehe, it always feels a bit weird."

Some of them scratched their heads foolishly, especially Zhou, who raised his head slightly, nodded his chin, and looked thoughtful.

"Why did you step onto the field? Well...it's hard for me to explain."

"It's hard to explain..." Yasui Zhen was stunned.

"Hehe, yes."

Scratching his head again, Te Bie Zhou smiled sheepishly and said, "To be honest with you, Mr. Yasui, my hometown is in the countryside of Hokkaido. Before I came to Tokyo, I didn't understand many things.

"Not only in competitions and training, but I couldn't even ride the tram or the subway, which caused a lot of jokes.

“After that, I felt like I didn’t do anything.

“I just thought about the promise I made to my mom to become a great horse racing girl, and then I made a lot of good friends at school.

"We train and run together, and every day passes happily.

"Of course you'll be sad if you lose a game.

"I wasn't afraid of Mr. Yasui laughing at me. For example, I didn't beat Tenku-chan in the Gaoyue Sho, I didn't beat Kodaka in the Japan Cup, and I didn't beat Kogusa in the Takarazuka and Arima Kinen races. After returning to the academy, I would secretly run to the big tree hole in the courtyard and cry.

“There are still many sad things.

"For example, I received a call from Kitty in France, and..."

Her eyes suddenly changed, she shook her head, smiled and changed the subject.

“There are more happy days.

"I don't know if I understand what Mr. Yasui wants to know, but if it comes to how to get on the court, perhaps I can only say...

“Happy, joyful.

“Because I am happy and joyful, I go onto the field.

“Because I love running the most.

"What makes me happier and more joyful is the people and everything I encounter while running."

With a smile that came from the heart, the horse racing girl's expression suddenly changed and she looked at the big screen opposite excitedly.

"Ah! Xiaobei is here! So handsome!"

Yasui was really impressed by Tezukao's answer.

At this moment, he finally understood why this horse girl was so popular.

Her strength and achievements are indeed outstanding and dazzling, but compared to those, what is more attractive is her pure love for running.

That crystal-like clarity has an extraordinary charm that can make people ignore all realities, even training and competition, and understand one thing in an instant.

Every horse girl is born into this world to run.
