"Mr. Su Luo, can you teach me how to run better?"
"Nope. I don't know the first thing about running!"
"Then can you help plan my training?"
"Nope. That's a trainer's job."
At that point, even Oguri Cap—dense as she could be—realized the man calling himself an "investor" was… kind of unreliable.
"…Um. Then what can you do, Mr. Su Luo?"
"Hah! Now you're asking the right person!"
Su Luo patted his chest with a strangely confident grin.
"I can't do any of that… but I've got money!"
"Money…?"
Oguri Cap looked adorably blank.
"Looks like you don't really understand what money means for you. Fine—let me explain properly."
Su Luo cleared his throat.
"First of all, training Uma Musume is insanely expensive."
"Take your training shoes, for example. A good pair of running shoes costs over 20,000 yen—and for you, they're basically consumables."
"Because your bodies are ridiculously strong, you go through shoes ten times faster than normal people… even a hundred times faster. If your training intensity is high enough, a great pair might not even last five days."
"Question: if that's the case, how much do you think you'd spend in a month just replacing shoes?"
"Uhh…" Oguri Cap's face twisted in distress. Clearly, math wasn't her strong suit.
"At least 100,000 yen as a starting point—and that's only for shoes."
"Ohhh…"
Oguri Cap looked like she sort of understood… but also very much didn't. Su Luo decided that approach wasn't working and switched tactics.
"Oguri Cap—what do you like?"
"Running… and eating!"
Yep. Just as expected from the Uma Musume he picked—her desires were so pure it was almost funny.
But this was the moment he had to affirm her.
"Good taste."
Su Luo smiled and gave an example.
"If you've got money, you can eat whatever you want—as much as you want. No limits."
"Mm!"
Oguri Cap's eyes instantly lit up. Now this was a topic that woke her right up.
"Really?"
"Of course. As long as you accept my investment, I'll make sure you eat like a king every meal—until you're satisfied!"
"Yaaay!"
Oguri Cap looked thrilled—until the excitement faded a moment later.
Even she knew no one just hands out free pies from the sky.
"Mr. Su Luo is being so nice to me… but why?"
"Mm, good question!"
Su Luo put on a serious face and spoke earnestly.
"I'm helping you to fulfill my dream!"
And that wasn't even a lie.
Getting her to help him lose money so he could rise again—wasn't that also a kind of dream coming true?
"Helping me… to fulfill a dream…"
Oguri Cap looked into Su Luo's eyes. In those black pupils, she didn't see deception—only sincere, heartfelt honesty.
She still didn't fully understand his "money means you can do anything" talk, but she could tell one thing:
This Su Luo really did want to help her. He truly was reaching out a hand.
So…
"Thank you for investing in me, Mr. Su Luo."
And with that, Oguri Cap accepted Su Luo's investment request.
—
"Eat! Come on—eat more!"
Chomp chomp chomp…
After Oguri Cap agreed to join him, Su Luo decided to throw a small "welcome celebration."
Since it was a celebration, the academy cafeteria was out of the question.
So he took her to the shopping street near Kasamatsu Tracen Academy. There were plenty of snack shops there. Su Luo told Oguri Cap to choose any place she wanted—he'd treat.
Oguri Cap picked a humble-looking little shop, but the aroma drifting out from inside was promising. It had to taste good.
Well… if it's just a place like this, treating her shouldn't cost much…
What a shame. He'd thought he could spend a lot on food.
Seeing Oguri Cap choose such a simple restaurant, Su Luo couldn't help sighing. What an honest kid.
She could've picked a pricier place and it would've been totally fine.
This kid was really polite—
But Su Luo dropped that thought very quickly.
Was Oguri Cap polite?
At least when it came to eating… she didn't seem polite at all.
When Oguri Cap finished her second bowl of rice, Su Luo didn't think much of it.
When she finished five bowls of rice and then started slurping ramen, Su Luo's brow twitched.
When the stack of empty ramen bowls grew taller than Su Luo's head, both Su Luo and the chef in the kitchen were left with nothing but reverence.
As the saying goes: being able to eat is a blessing.
Then Oguri Cap's "blessing" had to be at the level of making Mount Fuji erupt!
The more Oguri Cap ate, the more excited Su Luo became!
He never expected that just feeding her would cost him this much money—what an unexpected delight!
By the time Oguri Cap was finally full, the plates on the table had piled into a mountain.
When it came time to pay, Su Luo was practically grinning.
This single meal cost him 50,000 yen—amazing!
That meant if Oguri Cap kept this appetite, even not counting breakfast, he'd have a steady monthly food expense of 3,000,000 yen.
His loss target this month was 5,000,000 yen—so just like that, he'd already completed sixty percent of it.
But still…
This kid eats way too much…
Su Luo sneaked a glance at Oguri Cap's slightly rounded belly. Her appetite had to be ten times—no, nine times—his.
And yet she still looked like she wasn't fully satisfied.
Even with eating, there were "talent gaps," apparently.
Uma Musume bodies were truly something else.
"Um…!"
After they left the restaurant, Oguri Cap spoke hesitantly at Su Luo's side.
"Please let me pay part of the bill…!"
After eating, she seemed to realize she'd gotten a bit carried away—like she'd practically fleeced him—and hurriedly offered to share the cost.
But Su Luo absolutely could not allow that.
This was his KPI!
Money spent should never come back!
"It's fine. I can afford this much," Su Luo said warmly. "Honestly, seeing you eat so happily makes me happy too."
"Mm…"
"Next time you want to eat something, just tell me. I'll take you!"
He patted his chest proudly.
A "deity" who could rack up 50,000 yen in one meal—if they went somewhere slightly more expensive, wouldn't he lose even more money?
"I can just eat in the cafeteria… I won't keep troubling you, Mr. Su Luo."
"?"
Su Luo's expression subtly changed.
If Oguri Cap ate in the school cafeteria, how was he supposed to lose money?
No.
Absolutely not.
He could not let that damn school cafeteria ruin his grand loss-making plan!
So Su Luo quickly changed gears, draped an arm over Oguri Cap's shoulder, and spoke with deep, solemn sincerity.
"Oguri Cap, don't worry about my wallet. As an investor, if I can't even pay a little money like this, what kind of investor am I?"
"From now on, I'll provide your lunch and dinner. I'll make sure you eat better than anyone else in the academy!"
"But…"
"No 'buts'! I swear on my investor's pride—I will feed you until you're plump and chubby!"
"Huh?"
Oguri Cap felt like something about his words was weird… but for the life of her, she couldn't identify what.
"If you want to repay me," Su Luo said with a grin, hands on hips, "then repay me with your training results!"
What Su Luo proposed was actually a trap.
As long as Oguri Cap agreed, Su Luo was confident he could use money to fatten her up into a cute little chubby pig.
Grey-haired Uma Musume couldn't run fast to begin with. If he raised her like a pig, then when she entered races, she probably wouldn't even earn the participation prize money—
and wouldn't that mean Su Luo would lose even more money?
Not earning is the same as losing!
Perfect!
Su Luo decided to name this masterpiece:
The Tracen Pig-Fattening Plan!
