In just two short days, Su Luo finalized both parts of his lose-money plan—the Uma Musume and the trainer. His execution speed was impressively high.
After signing the contract with Kitahara, Su Luo brought him to meet Oguri Cap.
When Oguri Cap learned she would finally have a trainer to teach her how to run, she was pretty happy.
Kitahara's feelings, however, were… complicated.
If he remembered correctly… hadn't he told Su Luo that grey-haired Uma Musume couldn't run fast?
Then why did Su Luo still pick a grey-haired Uma Musume?!
Was Su Luo planning to drag him straight into a pit of fire?
As a trainer, Kitahara understood better than anyone what mattered most to an Uma Musume.
Talent. Of course it was talent.
A talented Uma Musume could do whatever she wanted on the track.
That didn't mean hard work was useless.
But when everyone was working hard, talent was the most important factor deciding the true gap in ability.
Kitahara didn't agree with the extreme claim that "grey-haired Uma Musume can't run fast," but it was also true that grey-haired Uma Musume had never produced notable results…
Did this Oguri Cap have the talent to overturn that so-called "truth"…?
"Hello, Trainer Kitahara. I'm Oguri Cap, the Uma Musume Mr. Su Luo invested in."
With a straightforward smile, Oguri Cap held out her hand to Kitahara Jo.
"Uh… I'm Kitahara. Nice to meet you."
Kitahara took her hand and replied simply.
Seeing the troubled look on Kitahara's face, Su Luo laughed wildly inside.
Yes! This is exactly the expression I wanted to see!
Sorry, Mr. Kitahara. Even though I hired you with a high salary, I'm not planning to let you train a strong Uma Musume, you know?
"Mr. Kitahara—if you need anything for training, just contact me. If it's a problem that money can solve, then it's no problem at all for me!"
"O-oh…"
Kitahara wiped sweat off his forehead that didn't even exist. At this point, Su Luo was his boss. Since this was the Uma Musume his boss personally chose, Kitahara would just train her according to his wishes…
"Heh, you two train first. I've got things to do."
After tossing out that line, Su Luo turned around and ran off.
He already spent money—now you want him to spend time陪跑 too?
No way!
Skipping work—awesome!
Being a hands-off boss—awesome!
And just like that, Su Luo ditched the two of them there…
"Mr. Su Luo really is…"
Watching Su Luo leave without the slightest hesitation, Kitahara's mouth twitched.
As a boss, wasn't he worried his employee might slack off or skip work?
Or was it that Su Luo genuinely trusted his character that much?
"…That's too much trust…"
Kitahara scratched his head and sighed, then turned to Oguri Cap.
"Let's head to the training track first. I want to see your running form…"
To be honest, Kitahara didn't have high expectations for Oguri Cap.
If everything Su Luo said was true—if he really was an investor who knew absolutely nothing about the Uma Musume world—then the Uma Musume he picked was probably pretty average…
That thought lasted only until the moment Oguri Cap launched off the starting line.
On the emerald-green track, the grey-white girl tore through the air with a beastlike stride, leaning forward at an extreme angle as she sprinted!
"???"
What the hell?!
What am I seeing?!
Kitahara stood there, dumbstruck…
Oguri Cap's style wasn't fully polished yet… but still!
That power in her steps! That sprinting speed!
Even in Kasamatsu—no, even across the entire local region—it was hard to find an Uma Musume with such sharp finishing kick!
"A-a star… She's a rising star!"
Kitahara's eyes filled instantly with passion and excitement.
The rising star he'd been searching for—he'd actually stumbled upon her at this moment!
If it was Oguri Cap, then the Tokai Derby wasn't just a dream!
Wait…
Could it be that Mr. Su Luo saw exactly what kind of Uma Musume I wanted… and that's why he chose Oguri Cap?
Maybe what Mr. Su Luo said about "not understanding Uma Musume at all" was just him being modest.
Picking out a standout like this in one shot—without exceptional eyes, it would be impossible!
An investor…
Right. If you're investing, then having incredible judgment and a sharp instinct is only natural.
Mr. Su Luo really is a qualified investor!
At that moment, a lot of things that hadn't made sense before suddenly clicked into place for Kitahara.
Su Luo didn't invest only in Oguri Cap as an Uma Musume—or only in Kitahara Jo as a trainer…
He invested in the wildly promising future created by the combination of the two!
"To trust us this much…"
"Then again—Mr. Su Luo must have seen all kinds of storms in the world of investment. For him, believing is just the most basic operation required."
Kitahara genuinely admired Su Luo's courage.
If it were Kitahara, he wouldn't dare take such a risky gamble.
"No… it's Mr. Su Luo. Looks like I have to do something to answer his expectations!"
Thinking carefully—Su Luo found him the perfect Uma Musume, hired him at a high salary, and even said he'd cover all training expenses himself…
Damn it—how could there be such a good person?!
This is what they call an angel investor!
Now Kitahara's heart was full of gratitude at meeting a benefactor.
"Boss Su Luo… I respect you!"
"Kitahara, what's wrong?"
At that moment, Oguri Cap—having simply finished one lap—came over. Seeing the trainer Su Luo had hired making a face that looked like he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, she was completely confused.
"Nothing… I just feel Mr. Su Luo is treating me too well…"
"Mm. Mr. Su Luo is a good person," Oguri Cap nodded, agreeing.
In Oguri Cap's heart, Su Luo didn't just treat her to lots of delicious food—he also found her a trainer…
Good person!
"Oguri Cap—just now, watching you run, I saw possibility!"
"Hm?"
"The possibility that after we join forces, we can conquer the world!"
Kitahara bent forward toward Oguri Cap and spoke earnestly.
"Let's conquer the world together… and then hand that world to Mr. Su Luo!"
A weird person saying weird things…
Oguri Cap couldn't help thinking that.
But if it meant she could repay Su Luo…
"…Mm!"
The grey-haired girl nodded decisively, wearing a fresh, bright smile.

Somewhere in Tracen Academy, while slacking off, Su Luo suddenly sneezed hard.
"Wait… am I catching a cold?"
