Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: I Want to Become Chairman Akikawa’s Trainer  

"That's not a small statement. You actually want to breed two Triple Crown Umamusume. Do you already want to surpass Miss Tojo?"

 

Akikawa Yayoi gently flapped her fan in front of her face, showing an interested expression.

 

The Miss Tojo she calls whose full name is Tojo Hana, is Rigil's trainer.

 

Tojo Hana is currently the best trainer in Tracen Academy. Her team, Rigil, is also the strongest overall team in Tracen Academy.

 

Seven-time "Emperor" Rudolf Symboli, three-time champion Narita Brian, "Empress" Air Groove, and the undefeated "Hotrod" Maruzensky are all members of Rigil.

 

"Maybe the two of them can win more than one Triple Crown. After all, this is just a 'small goal' at the moment."

 

Sakura Baimu looked at Akikawa Yayoi and smiled softly.

 

After all, in addition to the Classic Triple Crown and Triple Tiara, there are also the Spring Triple Crown and the Autumn Triple Crown.

 

Strictly speaking, an Umamusume can actually win the Triple Crown up to three times.

 

"What should you do if I can't do it?"

 

Akikawa Yayoi stopped fanning, and the fan covered most of her face, revealing only a pair of slightly narrowed dark blue eyes.

 

"Be at my disposal."

 

Sakura Baimu chuckled, her tone very confident. "But what if I did it?"

 

"Same. You can put forward any condition, as long as I can fulfill it, I will agree to it."

 

"Okay, Yayoi, don't regret it."

 

"Call me Chairman outside!"

 

Hearing Sakura Baimu use her first name, Akikawa Yayoi corrected her with a smile, and then added.

 

"Speak now if you have any wishes. I don't want you to change your mind at the last moment and cause any trouble for me to help you deal with the aftermath."

 

"Same goes for you, Chairman."

 

Sakura Baimu walked to the desk, took a small page of white paper from it, and wrote a simple sentence.

 

"I want to become Chairman Akikawa's trainer."

 

Sakura Baimu had decided on this idea as soon as she entered the room and learned through the system that Akikawa Yayoi was also an Umamusume.

 

Akikawa Yayoi's training is very difficult, but this means that if you help her achieve her goal and win, you will receive reward points far beyond those of other Umamusumes.

 

Since Akikawa Yayoi proposed this condition, she, Sakura Baimu, was not polite.

 

After writing, Sakura Baimu folded it and placed it in front of Akikawa Yayoi.

 

"It's written."

 

"Mine is also written."

 

As Akikawa Yayoi said this, she took out two envelopes from the drawer and handed one of them to Sakura Baimu.

 

"Leave your envelope here with me. Seal it with sealing wax and then take it out when the bet is fulfilled."

 

"What about the Chairman's?"

 

"I leave mine to you, but don't peek at it."

 

As Akikawa Yayoi spoke, she took out small pieces of sealing wax candles from the drawer, heated them to melt, then covered the two envelopes.

 

She chose orange wax for herself and blue wax for Sakura Baimu.

 

Sakura Baimu put the envelope into her pocket with a smile, then looked back at the two little Umamusume who were a little dumbfounded and gently placed her palms on their heads.

 

"By the way, Teio and McQueen have an appointment to duel at the school track today. You two go and watch it. After watching, Teio and McQueen will take you two to familiarize yourselves with the environment."

 

"Ah, really?! Teio and McQueen are dueling again!"

 

"Okay, thank you, Trainer-san. Let's go then."

 

After hearing Sakura Baimu's words, Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond's eyes lit up.

 

The two of them excitedly bowed deeply to Sakura Baimu and Akikawa Yayoi and then hurriedly left the chairman's office.

 

Akikawa Yayoi sat on the office chair, holding her delicate and beautiful face with her small porcelain hands. Her dark blue eyes stared at Sakura Baimu who was watching Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond leave with a little playfulness. She whispered softly.

 

"So cute~"

 

Sakura Baimu turned her head when she heard this, smiled, and nodded.

 

"I think so too!"

 

"Hmph." Akikawa Yayoi smiled softly. "Aren't you going to watch the match between Teio and McQueen?"

 

"Forget it. Compared to seeing the two of them win, I don't want to see one of them lose." Sakura Baimu replied with a smile.

 

 

--

 

 

Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond could not hide their excitement as they left the chairman's office.

 

After learning that Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen would compete, they both couldn't wait to run towards the Tracen Academy track.

 

However, the two of them kept in mind the school rule that they were not allowed to run fast in the building, so they ran very cautiously.

 

"Dia-chan, now I begin to understand a little bit what the senpai said. Our Trainer-san is a little strange."

 

Kitasan Black said as she jogged beside Satono Diamond.

 

"It's true... I just thought she would say something about letting us shine in our debut game, but I didn't expect that it would be aiming for the Triple Crown right away..."

 

Satono Diamond mentioned the matter again, her voice still unable to conceal her surprise.

 

"But, she seems to really think so... I don't think she is joking."

 

"If you put say this on Trainer-san, it doesn't seem to be a strange thing." Satono Diamond sighed.

 

"But do you think we can accomplish her goal? Trainer-san seems very confident." Kitasan Black asked Satono Diamond. "Speaking of which, when I heard Trainer-san say that, I was quite happy. After all, I also want to win a Triple Crown like Miss Teio..."

 

"Kita-chan's words definitely make sense." Satono Diamond smiled, but then her expression turned slightly gloomy. "But the Chairman doesn't seem to think so."

 

"Although our Trainer-san is also very powerful, there is still a big gap between her and Chairman Akikawa." Satono Diamond continued.

 

"Chairman Akikawa is not only the chairman of Tracen Academy but also founded URA, a national competition in Japan today. Since Chairman Akikawa dares to agree to Trainer-san's bet on such unequal terms, it means that she doesn't think she will lose at all, right?"

 

"Dia-chan, I don't think so." Kitasan Black shook her head.

 

"Huh?"

 

"What you just said ignored the relationship between our Trainer-san and the Chairman. You have also seen that our Trainer-san can call the Chairman by her first name, which shows that the two of them have a very close relationship."

 

"That makes sense..."

 

Satono Diamond recalled the scene where Sakura Baimu leaned down and asked Akikawa Yayoi to stand on tiptoes and patted her shoulders heavily to encourage her.

 

"In that case, I think it might be more like..."

 

When Kitasan Black said this, she looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, she lowered her voice and whispered.

 

"It's more like a mother encouraging a motivated child."

 

"As expected of you, Kita-chan."

 

Satono Diamond's face was full of surprise. She felt more and more that what Kitasan Black said was true.

 

However, after recalling the appearance of Sakura Baimu and Akikawa Yayoi again, she spoke slowly with brows furrowed.

 

"But why do I feel that Trainer-san looks more like a mother?"
