Uma Musume: Why Do We, Horse Trainers, Still Have To Train Uma Musume? Chapter 175 175: The Incoming Kikuka Sho, T.M. Opera O In A

On the night of the Tenno Sho (Autumn), after isho Doto's Winning Live, Wada contacted T.M. Opera O, who was preparing for the Kikuka Sho in Kyoto, via a video call.

—Through Fumino Nase's iPad, of course. T.M. Opera O usually had a habit of muting her phone before she slept.

"isho Doto won the Tenno Sho?! That's great!"

Soon, Wada saw Fumino Nase, Ikezoe, and Imanami in a hotel.

They seed to still be discussing the Kikuka Sho and hadn't rested yet.

After Wada reported the results from the Tenno Sho (Autumn) to the group, Ikezoe was the first to grab the screen and congratulate Wada, saying with imnse joy:

"That's great, Wada! Now we have even more montum!"

"As expected of the encirclent master who got surrounded by Shadai twice. Heh, even if Shadai tries to—no, never mind."

Ikezoe had only spoken half a sentence when Fumino Nase's strange gaze beside him seed to make him realize he had spoken too much, and he imdiately shut his mouth.

He had accidentally let it slip. And he belatedly realized the fact that it wasn't Yutaka Take beside him, but Fumino Nase.

No one other than the three of them knew they ca from another world, let alone the situations that happened there—of course, even if it were Yutaka Take, Ikezoe shouldn't have brought up sothing that was a dark past for Yutaka Take.

"Congratulations, Wada. T.M. Opera O will also definitely be very happy to hear this."

Imanami, who tily stepped in to save the situation, subtly changed the topic. He then took the iPad from Ikezoe's hand and said to Wada:

"By the way, Wada, guess who else is in this room besides us?"

"Huh? Who else?" Wada was montarily unsure why Imanami was asking this.

However, Imanami, with a mysterious smile, turned the cara, and soon, several familiar faces appeared on the screen.

"—Trainer Hana Toujou?! Why are you here?"

"? I just brought my Uma Musu to watch the race, I was just worried that your T.M. Opera O might be able to beat our Team in the future. But now it seems I don't need to worry."

Hana Toujou, who appeared on the screen, clearly looked a bit unnatural. After an awkward few monts, she let out a dry cough and revealed why she was really here for:

"I just ca to help out. Those two from your team begged so much, I couldn't refuse."

"Hahaha! Alright, Hana, stop being such a hardass. Let see the newcor."

Suddenly, the screen was taken away, and a seemingly frivolous, yet uniquely handso man appeared before Wada.

The man, upon seeing Wada, couldn't help but exclaim slightly:

"Well, you must be Wada Ryuji, right? That famous genius Trainer who defeated Hana! I truly admire you for being able to defeat her."

"And that face—ah! How frustrating, doesn't that an my position as the most handso man at Tracen Academy is no longer secure?"

"Um… and you are?"

Wada had no impression of the man in front of him. Fortunately, Hana Toujou, who was beside him, stepped forward and said to Wada:

"Just call this guy Okino. He's an old acquaintance of mine. This ti, we ca together to help you to deal with Shadai."

"We've all heard about the Shadai situation. This ti, Hana and I are both here to help you!"

Okino's face reappeared on the screen, giving Wada a thumbs up and saying:

"Don't worry, Wada-kun! Hana and I will do our best!"

"Although I don't have an Uma Musu participating in the Kikuka Sho, I will still help you fight against Shadai! Those guys from Shadai shouldn't even think about unfairly claiming a win from an Uma Musu like this!"

"We're here to help too!"

At this mont, Okino's face was suddenly pushed away on the screen, and soon two other very familiar faces to Wada appeared: the Trainers of Admire Vega and Narita Top Road.

"Admire Vega (Narita Top Road) will have a fair showdown with T.M. Opera O on the track! But before that, we absolutely won't let Shadai's Uma Musu interfere with their duel!"

"Heh heh, my Narita Top Road has grown very strong this ti, so be careful, Trainer Wada."

Narita Top Road's Trainer made a declaration of war, with the determination in words reaching Wada through the screen.

"Just how many people have you guys brought?"

Wada hadn't expected so many people to be in this room. Had they brought half of Tracen Academy?

He had originally thought it would only be the few of themselves from Team Miracle, but why were there suddenly so many outside parties now?

"Actually, not that many." Hana Toujou said lightly from the side:

"My team is here mostly to just watch the Kikuka Sho, and this guy Okino also brought his girls to watch, just to join in the fun."

"Also, the jiro Family is quite serious about McQueen's Kikuka Sho, so all of the jiro Family have also co."

"This entire floor of the hotel has also been booked by people from Tracen Academy, just waiting for tomorrow's race to begin."

"Not many? Isn't that basically half of Tracen Academy here?!"

Wada was also startled by this news. He really hadn't expected that a Kikuka Sho would cause such a big stir, attracting so many Trainers and Uma Musu who now knew about their conflict with Shadai.

This was just a Kikuka Sho, after all. When did T.M. Opera O beco so popular that so many people would specifically co to watch?

"Why are you so surprised, Trainer Wada? This is not just any ordinary Kikuka Sho. This race could very well be the birth of the next Classic Triple Crown Uma Musu."

"And this ti, Shadai will undoubtedly heavily interfere with this race. So, we all need the help of as many people as we can gather anyways."

Fumino Nase's face reappeared on the screen, having presumably reclaid her iPad. She said to Wada very solemnly:

"These are the allies I managed to gather to hinder Shadai as much as possible."

"This is all I can do. The rest is up to you, Trainer Wada. Tomorrow, please make sure to arrive as soon as possible."

"Your presence is undoubtedly very important for T.M. Opera O right now."

"Everyone… thank you."

Wada was at a loss for words at this mont. After a long while, he finally showed a warm smile and said sincerely:

"Thank you all, especially you Trainer Nase. I sincerely appreciate everything you've done."

"…You don't need to thank , Trainer Wada. I'm just doing what I can."

Fumino Nase turned her head slightly, a bit unnaturally, but her expression quickly returned to normal. She asked with a hint of awkwardness:

"So Trainer Wada, can you make it in ti tomorrow?"

"Probably. Taking the earliest bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto takes about two hours."

Wada nodded. He had already made plans before participating in the Tenno Sho (Autumn).

"There should still be so ti before the race starts. With any luck, I can arrive at the Racecourse before the Kikuka Sho begins."

"That's good. I can't emphasize enough how much T.M. Opera O needs you right now. Her heart is only open to you."

Fumino Nase also nodded.

Although she had co to Kyoto with T.M. Opera O relatively easily, Fumino Nase could feel that despite seeming normal on the surface, she was not feeling all that well inside.

It was also because T.M. Opera O rarely caused trouble that people felt she was easy to manage.

But in reality, if they were on the track and Wada wasn't there, T.M. Opera O would probably be incredibly unstable in the race.

Therefore, Fumino Nase hoped more than anyone that Wada could arrive as soon as possible. Without Wada, no one could truly motivate T.M. Opera O.

Especially in the last few hours, Fumino Nase increasingly felt that T.M. Opera O's emotions were becoming unstable.

Since arriving in Kyoto, T.M. Opera O had given Fumino Nase a strange feeling.

That… contradictory psychology of constantly wavering between wanting to win and not wanting to win made Fumino Nase very uneasy.

On the Kikuka Sho track, if T.M. Opera O didn't have Wada's guidance, could she really display her true strength?
