Uma Musume: They're Peeking at My Diary, and All of Tracen is Panickin

"Hm?"

Hayakawa Tazuna tilted her head cutely. With her gentle personality and graceful demeanor, she was well-loved by everyone at Tracen Academy.

Many said she was always busy with work, but with so many problem children at Tracen, she had no choice but to be.

Just dealing with the likes of Orfevre and Mayano Top Gun was enough to give anyone a headache.

Furthermore, you couldn't judge Tazuna by her appearance; it was said she was once an incredibly powerful presence.

Xu Zong's Uma Musume-loving friend had told him that Tazuna's real name might be that of a phantom, undefeated horse girl from Tokachi called "Aoshī Issai" (She Who Looks Down on Everything).

It was said that during the era when Aoshī Issai ran, all other top horses of the time were completely overshadowed. Some horse girls, upon learning she was in a race, would almost immediately lose their will to fight and give up, a testament to her overwhelming strength.

Xu Zong knew this wasn't just an empty rumor. When he played the Chinese version of the game, Shining! Pretty Derby, he had seen storylines where Tazuna had to chase down horse girls who broke the rules, and she would always catch them, possessing speed and power far beyond what one would imagine.

Suddenly, a saying came to Xu Zong's mind: there's always someone better, and always a horse better than a horse.

"Is something wrong, Trainer Xu Zong?"

Tazuna asked, puzzled. She thought she had faintly heard the word "green hat," but she figured she must have misheard.

(Translator's Note: "Wearing a green hat" is Chinese internet slang for being cuckolded. The protagonist is making a joke about Tazuna's prominent green hat.)

"It's nothing. Thank you for bringing the certificate."

Xu Zong laughed it off and got down to business with her.

"Mm, the specific details are all here. Just let us know if you have any new members join."

"Wait a moment."

As Tazuna was speaking, she picked up her phone and received another message about Nakayama Festa skipping class. It said she had swaggered out of the classroom with incredible arrogance.

"Sorry, Trainer. I have to handle something. That girl, honestly, she's always causing me trouble."

Nakayama Festa was quite a character—thick-skinned and a pure chaos-enjoyer who would go up and taunt anyone who annoyed her.

Tazuna had no choice but to go catch her, and she would make sure Festa wouldn't have a sweet time of it.

"Please be strict with her."

Xu Zong was dying of laughter. Watching a character like Nakayama Festa get caught was strangely amusing. He felt no sympathy at all; in fact, he hoped the "Green Hat" would be extra tough on her. Truly a living Yama king.

However, a thought occurred to him. Nakayama Festa usually moved with Gold Ship. Could it be that they both skipped?

Gold Ship also had a makeup exam this morning and hadn't come to training.

Oh well, catch them, catch them all.

As the saying goes—all evil shall be brought to justice!

Tazuna made a running motion, but then she remembered something else: she needed to add Xu Zong to the main Tracen trainer group chat. Normally, he was still an intern, so this wouldn't happen.

But she had made a special exception for him, which was actually Director Akikawa Yayoi's intention. After seeing the diary, the Director found it very interesting. She also saw that Xu Zong was very passionate about his job, so she had him added to the group.

For such a talent, she, as the esteemed Director, had to give a little bit of support.

"Alright everyone, follow me. Today is our first group training of the month."

After Tazuna left, Xu Zong wasted no time and led Vodka, Daiwa Scarlet, and McQueen to the track.

The three of them, all beautiful, formed a stunning sight.

"Daiwa Scarlet, Vodka, you two will work on speed. McQueen, today you'll train your endurance on the dirt track. Remember the key points I told you. If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me at any time."

After arriving at the track, Xu Zong instructed the three, and they nodded. They were very obedient to his commands because they could feel themselves getting noticeably stronger under his guidance.

The knowledge he possessed was partly granted by the system, and he had also studied a lot on his own. Being naturally intelligent, his suggestions were extremely useful to them.

And now, Xu Zong was also thinking about a problem: how should he use the skill the system had given him to activate the horse girls' unique skills?

"Every horse girl has a unique skill. Being able to activate it at will is a prerequisite for entering the 'Domain,' and it's a huge boost for them."

"I think I'm starting to get it. It's about focusing, then observing the horse girl."

Xu Zong looked at Daiwa Scarlet. He knew her unique skill was "Red Ace." It was because she loved the feeling of being the center of attention and wanted to be number one in everything, a point Vodka often complained about.

Agnes Tachyon, on the other hand, greatly admired this trait. The pursuit of being number one, of pushing the limits, made her a better test subject.

However, Tachyon was actually very good to Daiwa Scarlet, always giving her good things, much better than her treatment of Manhattan Cafe.

"So that's how it is."

Xu Zong looked at Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka. Their images appeared in his mind, and all their running flaws, their bad habits, were fully displayed before his eyes, as if he had activated a scanner, taking in all their information.

He could now accurately point out where they were going wrong. Correcting these issues would help them activate their unique skills.

Just as he finished his analysis, Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka were about to finish their first lap. They were running 2000 meters, the length of a rookie race.

However, their running was ridiculous. They had agreed the first lap was just a warm-up, but they kept accelerating, both fighting for first place, almost going all out at the end.

Xu Zong was speechless. You just told me you didn't care about each other. This is 'not caring'?

At this point, Vodka, panting heavily, was ready to continue with the second lap.

Daiwa Scarlet, being the obedient honor student, came to ask Xu Zong for his feedback on the first lap before continuing. She had also noticed that she couldn't maintain her speed at the start, a problem that had been bothering her. She wanted a rhythm that suited her.

Seeing her ask, Xu Zong thought it was the perfect opportunity. He told her everything he had scanned in great detail, telling her what to correct.

After listening, Daiwa Scarlet's eyes widened. She had benefited greatly and immediately went back to training.

"Ohohoho~~"

Just then, a voice caught Xu Zong's attention.

It turned out that Vodka had run into another heavyweight character, King Halo. That standard laugh, it was her, no doubt.

Vodka was thinking about inviting King Halo to run with her, to learn from her at the same time.

Upon hearing this, King Halo waved her hand, laughed heartily, and said:

"Oh? A mere 2000-meter track, how could it possibly trouble me, a first-class horse girl? I am King Halo, after all! Very well, seeing your sincerity, I shall grant you the right to train with me."

Vodka was overjoyed. "Great, let's run together!"

In many ways, Vodka admired King Halo, for instance, her ability to openly declare herself a "first-class" horse girl. Not just anyone could do that.

Vodka herself could be quite chuunibyou at times, imitating the heroes from manga, reciting hot-blooded lines, and imagining her own victories. But she always did it in secret. If anyone found out, she would die of social embarrassment.

The two of them started running together.

Xu Zong saw them and greeted King Halo, also calling her a "first-class" horse girl.

And just like that, his path was wide open.

King Halo was ecstatic, exclaiming that only Trainer Xu Zong understood her.

After that, her running form seemed to sparkle.

This is what they call "a happy occasion lifts the spirits."

However, King Halo was too happy and wasn't watching where she was going. She tripped and fell flat on her face in her signature pose.

As expected, she can't take a compliment. The moment she's praised, she gets carried away.

But although King Halo was a bit of a blockhead and a chuunibyou, she was actually a very loyal and hardworking horse girl, a very likable character.

"Ohohoho~"

She stood up, completely unbothered. Life is full of falls; all that matters is that she gets back up every time.

However, she felt a little dizzy, as if she had laughed so hard she had run out of oxygen.

But she would keep laughing like this, because such a laugh is first-class!

Later, Xu Zong took notes. After his guidance, Daiwa Scarlet had made significant progress, proving his skill was useful.

He then observed Vodka and McQueen and would tell them his findings later.

As expected, the morning is the most productive part of the day. They had all benefited greatly.

But just then, Xu Zong suddenly sensed another gaze.

Stare...

It turned out that behind a tree in the distance, Admire Vega's eyes were locked on him.

She was looking for him because of the diary.

Last night, she was outside looking at the stars, missing her sister who had died young, when his diary suddenly appeared. She jumped in fright, her ears and tail standing on end.

After a while, she realized it was Trainer Xu Zong's diary.

But the contents inside left her completely stunned, speechless.

Because at the back of the diary, she had discovered the existence of "parallel worlds" and "counterparts."

And if parallel worlds existed, she thought, could it be that her sister was still alive in another world?

Could it be that her sister was also running happily in another world?

This thought made her so excited and nervous that she couldn't sleep well all night. She had wanted to find him first thing in the morning.

However, Admire Vega was clearly not a social terrorist like TM Opera O. She was more reserved. Seeing that he was in the middle of training, she didn't go up and ask directly.

She felt it would be disruptive and abrupt.

So she kept hesitating.

However, what she didn't know was that he had already seen her. With such an obsessive gaze, who wouldn't feel it?

And he also discovered another horse girl, Narita Top Road.

It turned out that Top Road had noticed Admire Vega was distracted today. As the class president, although she was a bit clumsy at times, she was very concerned about her classmates.

She had followed her, wanting to see what was wrong and if she needed her help.

However, Top Road was not good at lying. She seemed to want to pretend it was a chance encounter, but she didn't know what to say, which made her very anxious.

Xu Zong looked at the time and saw that it was getting late. He tidied up a bit and was about to go ask them what was up, but when he turned around, he found they were gone.

Were they just passing by?

He wasn't sure.

But in any case, he had two more horse girls to write about in his diary today.
