When was the last time he had seen a scene like this at Kasamatsu?
Kitahara Jo looked at the ecstatic crowd in a daze. In his eyes, the previously somewhat empty Kasamatsu Racecourse was filled with phantoms from the past. He felt as if he had returned to that era full of hope.
"A new star who can respond to any expectation, who is extremely charismatic... huh?"
Looking at Celestial Weave waving the red ribbon on the track, he seemed to see the shadow of another horse girl in her. "I see. So that's why Oguri Roman was so scared."
"So she saw you as Oguri Cap."
He had only heard about her from Oguri Roman's description. Before watching this race, he couldn't fully understand what the three words "Celestial Weave" represented. At that time, in his eyes, she was just an ordinary horse girl with outstanding ability. The long distance she had surpassed her opponents by was largely due to her opponents' weakness and their giving up after seeing the huge gap.
But after witnessing the Youth Crown Cup with his own eyes, he dismissed this ridiculous idea. She was by no means an ordinary horse girl. She was the kind of horse girl with a special charisma, who could make the people around her and the audience feel her brilliance. With such exaggerated ability, she was bound to become a star.
Looking at the red characters on the scoreboard, looking at the record Oguri Cap had once set being broken today, he thought to himself. Unconsciously, he began to fantasize. If she could achieve or even surpass Oguri Cap's results, the local circuit might have a chance of revival. As a former trainer at Kasamatsu, he was extremely looking forward to this.
But he quickly put aside his fantasies about the future. He was now Oguri Roman's trainer. What he needed to do was not to fantasize here.
But... Oguri Roman, who was already under huge pressure, might fall into an even more depressed state after being defeated by her. This would definitely affect her future career. Thinking about how to open her heart, he started to get a headache.
At the same time, in the stands above him, Ogon Ryotei was shaking Gold Ship's shoulder in surprise. "I told you! I told you! Traveling will bring you unexpected surprises like this!" She said with a grin, her arm around her sister's shoulder.
"Well? Have you experienced a little bit of the charm of traveling?"
"Don't worry, if you follow me from now on, there will be even more surprises!" With that, she patted her chest proudly. In her eyes, what she had seen and heard today would definitely arouse her sister's curiosity about traveling. The prospect of developing her into a travel companion made her a little excited.
But she hadn't expected that Gold Ship, who had been staring at the track, would suddenly say, "Ryotei-nee, I want to stay here."
"Huh?!"
She looked at her sister in shock. She knew that her sister would often say things that people couldn't understand, but usually, a joke was just a joke. But now, listening to her tone, it didn't sound like her usual joke at all.
In that instant, a lot of things went through her mind, like why her sister wanted to stay at Kasamatsu, who would take care of her if she stayed, and whether she should be reported for letting a horse girl who hadn't even reached her full development run around. But she quickly calmed down and summarized her questions into one word. "Why?"
"I don't know."
Hearing this answer, she breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed it was just a child's sudden whim. In that case, she could legitimately refuse. "No. This isn't something that can be decided on a whim..."
But before she could finish, she was interrupted. Gold Ship was staring at the red ribbon fluttering on the track, her pink eyes shining like gems in the sun. "I don't know, but I just want to stay at Kasamatsu."
Ogon Ryotei had never seen her like this. In her eyes, her sister had always been a rather boisterous and playful child. She had never seen her with such a look in her eyes, nor had she ever heard her speak in such a dazed tone. Every horse girl has something she wants to chase, just like her journey, and Orfevre's desire for victory and glory. Perhaps her sister had found what she wanted to chase on the Kasamatsu track.
As her older sister, as a horse girl, she had no reason to stop her. In the end, she could only smile helplessly and stroke her head. "Then we have to make three rules."
"Three hundred rules is fine too."
"Even if you don't follow them, I can't come up with three hundred rules." She flicked her ear, telling her to listen carefully and not to interrupt. "First, don't tell anyone you're from the Gold family." After all, the Gold family was a prestigious family in the horse racing world, and the most eye-catching one at that. Not letting her reveal her identity was also for her own protection.
"Second, I'll have a few of the family's bodyguards watch over you. Don't try to shake them off." This was also for her protection. After all, as a horse girl who hadn't reached her full development, she was both petite and agile. If she let her do as she pleased, she would definitely shake off the bodyguards and run off to freedom.
"Third, I'll give you a fixed allowance. Don't spend it all in the blink of an eye like before." Since she had already decided to let her act on her own, she would take this opportunity to cultivate her independence and self-reliance, and also to develop a good sense of money. Although the Gold family was not short of money, she felt that developing a good sense of money was also part of cultivating virtue.
With that, she took out a bank card from somewhere and dangled it in front of her. "It's a promise."
"A promise is a promise."
After agreeing, Gold Ship took the bank card from her, turned around, and ran down the stands, looking like she was about to go hit on someone. Her sister behind her didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She shouted after the fleeing Gold Ship, "What's the hurry! We still have to go back to the hotel and pack our luggage! And I have to wait for the bodyguards to arrive at Kasamatsu before I can hand you over to them!" As she spoke, she chased after her into the stands' tunnel.
