After getting their food, the two chose a seat and sat down.
At that moment, Geng Si asked in confusion, “Admire Vega, don’t you have a trainer?”
“I do,” Admire Vega said, eating a piece of carrot.
“I see…
Then does that mean I’ll have to train with you and your trainer or something?” Geng Si asked, puzzled.
“No need.
It’s enough for the two of us to be together,” Admire Vega said.
At the same time, Geng Si noticed the Spica members who had just walked in: Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen.
Geng Si had only met Mejiro McQueen once, and she did not even know her name.
However, Tokai Teio was somewhat familiar to her.
After Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen got their food, Tokai Teio noticed Geng Si and Admire Vega sitting together.
With a delighted expression, she brought Mejiro McQueen over and sat down across from them.
“Hey, Senior Geng Si, want to train with us this afternoon?” Tokai Teio asked with a smile.
When Admire Vega heard that, she said somewhat sternly, “No.
Geng Si is training with me this afternoon.”
“Senior Vega can come train with us too!
Besides, when several Uma Musume train together, they can get better results, right?
Just come for one day.
Try it out, Senior Geng Si.”
Tokai Teio immediately started acting spoiled toward Geng Si.
That attitude, combined with her naturally youthful voice, made it impossible for Geng Si to resist.
“Well…” Geng Si looked at Admire Vega beside her, and Admire Vega also seemed to be thinking it over.
At that moment, Mejiro McQueen smiled and said, “Hello.
This is our first time properly meeting.
My name is Mejiro McQueen.
I look forward to getting along with you.”
“Ah, hello.
My name is Geng Si.”
“Geng Si-san, I joined Spica after Teio.
Spica’s training methods are quite excellent.
You could come and give them a try.
For a newly enrolled Uma Musume, team training is better than training alone.
And by training with Uma Musume who have already participated in G2-level races or higher, you can gain more experience and insight.
So, even if you don’t join the team, I recommend that you come train with Spica for a while.
What do you think, Geng Si-san?”
After Mejiro McQueen finished speaking, Geng Si could not help but look at her in a slightly higher regard.
“Those manners…
Is she some kind of young lady?
Though I wonder if I count as one too…”
Senior Geng Si…” Tokai Teio said, once again acting spoiled.
At that moment, Admire Vega nodded and said, “Geng Si, I can go with you.”
“Thank you, Vega.”
“Yeah!
Senior Geng Si, I’m really looking forward to training with you!”
After deciding to go to Spica for training, Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen began discussing some of Tracen Academy’s facilities with Geng Si.
Although she had already seen them herself with Admire Vega, hearing about them from someone else somehow felt a little different from seeing them in person.
After finishing lunch, Geng Si was taken by Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen to stroll around a few places.
Admire Vega silently followed them the entire time.
After taking a simple walk around, the group parted ways with Geng Si, because Tokai Teio, Mejiro McQueen, and Admire Vega were all from the Ritto Dormitory.
After returning to her dorm, Geng Si let out an inexplicable sigh.
“What’s wrong, Geng Si?”
By then, Rudolf had already arrived back at the dorm and was sitting on the sofa.
“Oh?
Rudolf.”
Rudolf smiled and said, “Today, I first saw you following Admire Vega around the academy.
Then I saw Teio taking you all over the place.
It was quite a fulfilling morning, wasn’t it?”
“Ahahaha, it was all right, I guess,” Geng Si said, waving her hand somewhat helplessly.
“So, are you going to join Team Spica?” Rudolf asked, taking a sip of tea.
“No.
I’m just thinking of training with Spica for a while without actually joining the team,” Geng Si said.
“Ah, that’s fine too.
It’s good to experience it first.
Geng Si, do you know why there are two general affairs committee members?”
“Aren’t there three?” Geng Si froze for a moment, then pointed at herself.
“Haha, that’s not what I mean.”
Geng Si sat down beside Rudolf and thought for a moment.
“Ikino Dictus is from the middle division, and Admire Vega is from the high division, so each division has one.
But what’s the deal with adding me too?”
As she spoke, Geng Si looked puzzled.
“It’s like this.
As you know, every Uma Musume has her own dreams and hopes.
Because of that, every single one of them pours all her strength into chasing after them…”
Geng Si listened quietly.
She could vaguely sense the power contained within her body, as well as a certain stirring deep inside her.
there will always be Uma Musume who experience the pain of seeing their dreams shattered, or…
even after successfully chasing their dreams, they are not recognized.
Sometimes, because of that, their dreams are broken all the same…”
As Rudolf spoke, her voice seemed to grow heavier.
“Oh…”
“That is why I want you to become someone who protects their dignity and defends their hopes…”
Rudolf seemed to be carefully choosing her words as she spoke.
Geng Si nodded.
“I understand what you mean.
I’ll remember my responsibilities.”
“Thank you.”
After changing into her training clothes, Geng Si stretched her body and smiled.
“All right!
As expected, clothes like these are much more comfortable to wear!”
“Rudolf, I’m heading out first.
See you.”
“See you.”
After the door closed, Rudolf took a deep breath, then slowly and heavily exhaled.
After leaving the dorm, Geng Si saw Tokai Teio and the others waiting for her.
She smiled and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“It’s fine, Senior Geng Si.
Let’s go train!”
“Okay.”
Following them to the training grounds, Geng Si learned on the way that training areas had to be reserved in advance by a trainer.
Otherwise, there would be no place available to train.
After arriving at the training grounds with Tokai Teio, she saw the members of Team Spica doing their warm-up exercises.
“Yo, Geng Si-san, you really came, huh?
Were you worried about little Gold Ship after all?” Gold Ship said, immediately leaning in front of Geng Si.
“Ahaha, I’m just coming to train with Team Spica for a while without joining the team.
Besides, Admire Vega came with me,” Geng Si said, waving her hand.
“Vega-san?
Oh my!
No problem at all!
Feel free to train with Team Spica as much as you want!”
At that moment, Geng Si noticed a special sign beside Okinoki.
On it was a picture of Hishi Amazon.
“Uh…”
However, just then, something else caught Geng Si’s attention.
