Uma Musume: To The Top!!

Chapter 334 334: 445

After listening to little Fine Motion's explanation, Kuroha finally gained a rough understanding of what this royal little girl was trying to say.

She wanted to enter Central Tracen Academy not because she especially liked the island nation of the Far East.

It was simply because the person she had happened to meet was Kuroha, who belonged to Central Tracen.

If the Trainer standing here had been from Hong Kong Tracen or the Bald Eagle Federation's Tracen Academy, her request would have changed accordingly.

In short, she simply did not want to stay in Europe.

After thinking for a moment, Kuroha remained half-crouched and asked, "I heard that many people in Ireland believe you won't become an uma musume in the future. But from the looks of it now, that doesn't seem quite right?"

"Yes."

Fine Motion nodded when she heard that and said softly, "In a few years, Mother will probably let me enroll in Ireland's Tracen Academy."

"Mother respects my wishes very much. I want to become an uma musume, so she will let me. She lets me travel all over Europe to watch races. She lets me sneak out and run around everywhere. She has even promised that after I start school, she will 'give me full authority to join the best Trainer's team in all of Ireland.'"

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Kuroha found it strange.

She had the excellent bloodline of royalty, along with the most professional instruction.

Even if her talent limited her from becoming a top-tier uma musume in the future, at the very least, she could leave her name in history. What was there to be dissatisfied with?

The royal little girl gave him her answer.

"They won't let me run freely."

She looked quietly at Kuroha. Her voice was soft, but her reasoning was very clear.

"Because I am Ireland's princess. Whether it is a famous Trainer from my own country or from elsewhere in Europe, they will prioritize my safety and bearing. They will not allow me to run with everything I have."

"So that's why you don't intend to enroll in a European Tracen Academy, and you also want to choose a Trainer from outside Europe?"

Kuroha immediately understood.

A Trainer from outside Europe naturally would not be burdened by Fine Motion's royal status, nor would they have to consider the Irish royal family's attitude in every single matter.

"Mm. My sister and I decided this together."

The little girl nodded. "My sister believes that it does not matter which Tracen Academy I join, but my Trainer and my main racing circuit absolutely cannot be in Europe."

"And you plan to solve the problem once and for all by keeping all of it outside Europe?"

Fine Motion paused, then nodded her little head.

"Mm. My sister said that if we stay in Europe all the time, we will only be restricted in the future."

"Mm... I see."

Kuroha's face showed thought, and he nodded.

As an outsider, he could not judge who was right or wrong, because both sides had reasonable positions.

The Irish royal family believed a princess could not lower her dignity and struggle against commoners, and compared to racing honors, they placed greater importance on her physical health and hoped she could live a healthy, happy life.

Fine Motion herself, however, had a free and unrestrained personality. As an uma musume, she naturally loved running.

If her right to run with all her strength was restricted, it would undoubtedly be like living in shackles. Of course she would feel troubled.

Especially since Fine Motion, who had inherited an excellent bloodline, actually possessed extremely high talent and potential. Having that talent restrained would only make things even more painful.

"Speaking of which, who is your sister?" Kuroha asked casually.

"My sister's name is Pilsudski. You probably don't know her, Mr. Kuroha. She just entered Britain's Tracen Academy last year and hasn't debuted yet."

Pilsudski...

Kuroha looked at the brown-haired little girl before him and fell somewhat silent.

No wonder her thinking was so clear. It turned out there was another world-class uma musume ruler behind her, a future seven-time G1 champion.

In the future, Pilsudski would defeat the "Empress" Air Groove in the Japan Cup, dominate the North American Breeders' Cup, and sweep across Britain, Ireland, and Germany, winning against top-class uma musume throughout Europe.

It could be said that she would conquer the highest-level races across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and beyond.

A genuine ruler of the world.

He had not expected that this future world-famous uma musume would actually be Fine Motion's sister.

Seeing Kuroha fall silent, Fine Motion quickly said, "Mr. Kuroha, I am not asking you to make sure I can enroll. I just... I just wanted to ask you, if I want to join Central Tracen, is there any good way to do it?"

Although this brown-haired little girl was still young, she was extremely sensible.

She knew she and Kuroha barely knew each other, so she had no intention of begging him to help persuade the Irish royal family.

Instead, she wanted to ask Kuroha what methods existed, through normal channels, that could let her directly enroll in Central.

Looking at the little girl's serious face, Kuroha suddenly smiled.

"There is."

"What method?"

Little Fine Motion's eyes lit up.

Kuroha stretched out a finger and lightly tapped her forehead.

"Have your mother submit an official application to Central Tracen."

Fine Motion adorably covered her forehead after being tapped, her eyes half-open. But once she clearly heard Kuroha's method, her eyes immediately widened.

"Th-This, this..." The little girl instantly became flustered. "How could that work?"

Kuroha said softly, "From your bodyguards' attitude earlier, and from what you just said, I can feel that your mother must love you very much."

Fine Motion froze, then fell silent.

"Have you ever honestly told her that you don't want to stay in Europe?"

The little girl immediately went still, her expression turning a little dejected.

"No. My sister and I only discussed it in private. You are the third person to know."

"Then why not communicate properly with your mother?" Kuroha said with a smile. "Perhaps she may agree."

By Fine Motion's logic, it was indeed true that she would not be able to run freely in Europe, but that did not mean her mother would refuse to support her true feelings.

In the original course of history, after her True Blooming, Fine Motion had openly and properly come to Central Tracen with a group of maids and guards.

That proved that, in this matter, the Irish royal family had ultimately respected her wishes and given her support.

Fine Motion was silent. She stood there quietly and thought for a moment.

Then she abruptly took half a step back, lifted her skirt, and curtsied to Kuroha.

"I understand, Mr. Kuroha. I will speak clearly with Mother."

...

Fine Motion left.

Holding his bags, Kuroha watched her back. In his ears, he could not help hearing the serious words the little girl had said before leaving.

"Mr. Kuroha, if I truly enroll at Central in the future, joining your Chasing Light will be my first goal!"

After pausing for a long while, Kuroha laughed and shook his head.

"She really is mature for her age."

Fine Motion's True Blooming would happen even later than Silence Suzuka's, currently the youngest uma musume on his team.

It was even later than the future Century-End Overlord.

She was only a little earlier than Haito Star.

Without paying too much attention to this little episode, Kuroha returned directly to the manor.
