Uma Musume: I am the Card Master

In that same match, Twin Turbo lost directly to Yayoi Akikawa. After securing her first victory, Akikawa's confidence soared.

However, the pufferfish, which hadn't yet become arrogant, became humble again after being hooped around by several racehorse girls.

Seeing everyone working so hard, even the Golden Ship was getting into the swing of things, she stopped slacking off and started following Suiyuan's training plan exactly.

However, he didn't stick to it for long before he started slacking off again.

Suiyuan didn't say what she meant. That guy, Golden Ship... he really is a once-in-a-millennium genius. Even if he doesn't work very hard, he can still achieve excellent results.

This is truly a case of God stuffing food into your mouth; there's nothing you can do about it.

Suiyuan's fingers flew across the keyboard, refining training plans one after another. He knew that while he was preparing, Stinger and Totsuki were certainly preparing as well, so he had to proceed with caution.

I have a high winning percentage in this competition, so it would be really upsetting to lose because of my own carelessness.

　(aedc) After all, it's over 140 million!

Building a team and training female racehorses is really expensive, so the more of a manne (a type of female racehorse) you have, the better.

…………

The afternoon training session ended quickly. The little ones who trained with Mi Yu were exhausted, but the rest of the racehorse girls were doing alright.

"Trainer, thank you for your hard work."

Wearing an apron, Super Little Bay smiled and tied an apron on Suiyuan as well, saying, "What's so hard about it?"

Suiyuan pinched Super Little Bay's cheek. It's only five o'clock now. It's just a few dishes to cook. It won't take long.

Moreover, with the help of the super small bay, even less time is needed.

Super Little Bay felt a pang of sympathy watching Suiyuan head straight for the kitchen. Compared to other trainers, their own trainer was truly exhausted.

What trainer would cook for their own racehorse girl?

He did try to prepare dinner for everyone himself, and there weren't any major problems, just some minor issues.

Everyone said that their cooking wasn't as good as the trainers', and Super Little Bay said that the trainers had spoiled them.

The food I made myself was so delicious that even the trainers and racehorse girls at Nanmen No. 2 said it was good. It couldn't possibly taste bad.

"Forget it, there's no use thinking about it so much. Let's hurry up and go help."

Super Bay also headed towards the kitchen.

…………

Seeing everyone patting their bellies with satisfaction, Suiyuan nodded.

It seems my cooking skills are getting better and better. Seeing everyone well-fed by me gives me a real sense of accomplishment!

Little Chestnut Hat leaned close to Suiyuan and said, "Trainer, next time we have a gathering, you should prepare the food. The restaurants outside can't compare to you at all."

When the racehorse girls heard what Oguri Hat said, they all nodded in agreement, and they all agreed with what Oguri Hat had said.

What kind of restaurants and eateries are they? They're far inferior to the trainers' skills.

"Haha, if you want, no problem. I just make some simple dishes, nothing like what you get outside."

Little Chestnut Hat was silent for two seconds, then said, "Trainer, Versailles is not good."

Drip!

Suiyuan's phone beeped a few times, indicating that someone had sent him a message.

Suiyuan turned on his phone, and a message caught his eye.

【Guinea Pig, I'm so hungry...】

Suiyuan had felt like he'd forgotten something, and it turned out he'd forgotten about Alice!

Come eat at the restaurant if you're hungry!

…………

"Open your mouth."

"Ah~"

Suiyuan fed the food in the spoon to Aisakuko.

"Are you a child? Why do I have to feed you?"

Alice looked pitiful. "Is Guinea Pig going to abandon me?"

Suiyuan was speechless. "Please, stop acting so dramatic, just open your mouth."

"As expected, now that the guinea pig has won my heart, he wants to abandon me~"

Suiyuan put the lunchbox aside, then grabbed her face, "Suzi, you're really getting more and more arrogant. Do you think I...?"

"Shy guinea pigs are cute too, muah~"

Suiyuan froze on the spot. "I'm really impressed by you. Let's eat!"

This is a classic battle where the cunning horse girl successfully defeats her trainer!

…………

Suiyuan put away the empty lunchbox. "Alright, if you have nothing else to do, get some rest. You have to get up early tomorrow to do experiments, and you also have training in the afternoon."

"You're not having an easy time either."

After saying that, Suiyuan got up to leave.

Alice's voice came from behind Toshibuchi again, "Guinea Pig-kun really lied to me, didn't he? He said he was going to be my experimental subject, but he deceived the innocent and kind-hearted racehorse girl. That's so unfair~"

Suiyuan really wants to say, which has to do with you: being innocent or kind?

However, thinking about the trouble he would face after saying those words, Suiyuan held back.

Suiyuan turned around and said, "Alright, my lovely Miss Alice, if there's anything I, as your trainer, can help you with, please don't hesitate to ask."

Alice came to Toshihiro's side and hugged his arm. "Then come with me."

Alice has completely got Toshibuchi under her thumb. As expected, trainers have absolutely no resistance to a cute racehorse girl.

In some ways, Alice is truly a genius.

…………

"What's wrong? Why does our Miss Coco look so down today?"

Suiyuan's master's voice came from Coco's phone, accompanied by that classic buttery sound.

"I said, are you really sexually frustrated? Can you stop with the butter?"

"Damn it, I play eroge not because I'm lewd, but because I want to pursue combat power in eroge... and incidentally, be lewd."

Okay, now you can tell me why you're so upset.

Coco looked at her phone, a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"The prestigious family has been abducted."

The sound of butter on the other end of the phone stopped, and it was clear that Suiyuan's master was also very interested in this matter.

"What's going on? Tell me in detail!"

Listening to the old woman's excited voice, Coco began to wonder if she shouldn't have called her.

Chapter 169 Problems with Twin Turbines

"Wa-ku-wa-ku! Wa-ku-wa-ku!"

I had some thoughts I wanted to share, but now I have absolutely no desire to say anything.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"No, please tell me, please tell me~"

…………

"Koko, so you're saying that, according to your thinking, only the three racehorse girls—Lucky Star, Snow Beauty, and Golden Master—will join Aurora?"

"You could say that one of them has already passed their peak, and even if they stay in Totsuki, there won't be any way out for them."

One of them was a complete problem girl, and the other racehorse girls didn't even dare to talk to her.

Snow Beauty is alright, she's very well-behaved and hardworking, but she's determined to join Aurora, so there's no point in me forcing her to stay.

Only prominent families…”

At this point, Coco couldn't continue. The prestigious family was the ace of the Far Moon Academy, so why were you so easily turned against them?

"It seems like the person leading the group is auspicious, but is it actually a prominent family?"

"Yes."

"There were four racehorse girls in total, and even the team leader didn't come back, which is outrageous."

For the first time in so many years, Coco felt like crying. "Right? This is outrageous! Give me back the team leader!"

"You even managed to steal away the racehorse girl leading the team! What kind of nonsense is this?!"

Coco fell into deep self-doubt. Was the treatment at Totsuki Academy really that bad? Could someone just snatch away her racehorse girl with a flick of their finger?

That's not right! The benefits offered by our college are world-renowned!

Even Treson Academy can't compare to me. Since it's not my problem... then it must be that Suiyuan guy's problem!

That's right, it's not my problem, it's that Suiyuan guy is too abnormal!

Suiyuan's master saw that Koukou had entered a state of self-doubt, and she remained silent. In Koukou's current state, anyone who tried to talk to her would be doomed!

…………

"So that's why you're participating in this team competition, right? If you can't snatch students from Treson Academy, then go snatch students from other academies, Coco."

After Coco calmed down, Suiyuan's master asked her.

Coco nodded. "That's right, the racehorses on the Stinger team are quite good, and Stinger uses a high-pressure training method."

This will greatly increase my chances of poaching other women. I want racehorse girls! I want excellent racehorse girls! That guy Suiyuan has stolen so many of my best racehorse girls since he came here!

As she spoke, Coco couldn't help but get angry again. "A noble family!"

My noble family, why did you leave?

You are the best horse girl in our Totsuki Academy!

Suiyuan's master decisively hung up the video call. Coco's current situation was a bit abnormal, and if he continued to video chat with her, he might be in trouble.

…………

Suiyuan was completely unaware of this. There were still a few days until the team competition, and there wasn't much he could improve his attributes now. The main thing was to adapt to the track.

Only by adapting to the track can one achieve better results. Suiyuan is frowning now, but fortunately, this problem was discovered relatively early.

Otherwise, a really big problem could arise.

"Twin Turbo, come here for a second."

…………

Shuangturbine fiddled with her fingers. Because Suiyuan was angry last time, she would become very obedient if Suiyuan looked serious now.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to know if you're having some trouble controlling your body under the suppression of the rice bath's techniques."

If yesterday was an accident, then so many times today definitely cannot be an accident.

Under Mi Yu's suppressive skills, the twin turbos repeatedly exhibited issues such as erratic steering and explosive acceleration.

Although twin-turbocharged engines may seem unreliable, they are actually quite talented and powerful in racing.

Despite appearing carefree, he displayed remarkable composure during the race, knowing exactly when to accelerate and when not to.

Therefore, the training sessions today and yesterday afternoon were definitely not normal.

"There's...a little bit...something feels off..."

Suiyuan sighed as he looked at her worried expression. "Alright, come here."

Suiyuan waved to the twin turbines, and the twin turbines obediently came to Suiyuan's side.

Suiyuan held him in his arms.

"Two pumps, do you know why I was so angry with you last time?"
