NO. 311: Not a Family

Trainer likes your twenty expressions:

3. Read but no reply——just shy, actually there are many little thoughts.

5. Overemphasizing training——you know, he can only share that sweaty time with you this way.

11. Privately telling friends you're troublesome——wanting his friends and potential rivals to back off, eliminating hidden dangers.

15. Associating with non-horse-girl women——I think you understand, a trainer can only spend a lifetime with a horse girl, so-called non-horse-girl girlfriends are merely actors to conceal feelings.

——Excerpt from 《Umamusume Marriage Tales》.

【Winning first place for thirteen consecutive terms in the 《Most Popular Umamusume Book Series》】

【Guidance on the marital achievements of countless horse girls】

【A life redemption like parting clouds to see the sun】

These labels hanging on the book cover may indeed be genuine evaluations and achievements; the book indeed contains some true insights, but……

Yet these provisions are precisely what have recently become the main reason it was sent to the banned books list.

——Around horse girls and trainers, criminal crimes motivated by emotional conflict are increasing.

Furthermore, the proportion of trainers victimized is far higher than that of horse girls victimized.

It must be known that the more successful horse racing develops, the larger its scale, the higher its popularity, the more it can attract people to work as trainers. Yet the hierarchy is clear: trainers' treatment and status will always be inferior to that of horse girls.

They may even be lacking in martial prowess.

Because horse girls, as individuals properly endowed with supernatural power, have a training process that is essentially no different from cultivation.

The further along their career, the greater their abilities.

Although the entire Holy Terra Federation is built upon the development of source energy studies, and indeed there exist many beings with great power inherent to themselves, while these beings certainly create huge power disparities between individuals, most residents still cannot be said to have achieved cultivation.

Because the regime that maintains order and upholds the law possesses supreme martial force, the vast majority of sublimators still try to remain within the law-abiding framework, and within this framework they are constrained by many worldly things such as wealth, power, reputation, and so on.

The side effect of this relatively stable social order is that many residents lack sufficient sense of crisis; based on this, the federation's overly diverse cultural choices also become reasons for them to neglect cultivation and instead devote themselves to their own hobbies and interests.

In the end, it often becomes a subtle quality that can be overpowered in strength by junior-high horse girls.

If one studied diligently enough during compulsory education and had sufficient talent, perhaps they could still match the physical quality of high-school horse girls, but after their professional careers unfold……

Often only those who transition from a combat profession midway to become trainers can prevail in martial contests against the horse girls of antiquity.

Besides that, one must rely on external forces—various schemes, various drugs…… Most cases of horse-girl victimization are like this, but the Central Tressen handles many more cases that are trainer victimization.

Perpetrators who are fans or family of horse girls make up one quarter; perpetrators who are the horse girls themselves directly account for three quarters!

This can be considered an important component of juvenile crime in the federation's statistics.

The motive is even more uniform: emotion.

Love, friendship, kinship…… no matter how they are refined, they can always be packaged toward that extreme of intensity; moreover, many children fundamentally cannot distinguish the boundaries between various emotions and love, and in such times, that book 《Umamusume Marriage Tales》 obviously acts as fuel on the fire.

Even in several case records, it serves as the beginning of everything.

Thus you can no longer see its presence in regular bookstores and websites.

Even the printing of physical books has been halted outright.

Well, openly.

No matter the era, interests can drive people to take risks.

Moreover, this crackdown isn't even strict; it hasn't even reached the point of visiting every buyer's door from the order records.

Still, many people possess that book.

There are still channels able to acquire that banned book.

Just as many girls have dreamed of a prince's existence, many horse girls have also dreamed of that ideal trainer.

Whether handsome or beautiful, soft-spoken or eloquent, they are all wholeheartedly supporting you, cheering you on, accompanying you.

He/she guides you, resolves all your doubts, leads you into one new and unknown door after another, so that whether on the field, at school, or in life, you are never truly alone.

When you truly see such a him/her, would you be content with just a career contract?

The answer may indeed be varied, but horse girls on the bookshelf who cherish that book always respond in the same way.

Absolutely impossible.

Standing in that position, able to overlook the forthcoming scenery, jointly recorded achievements…… all of that will not relinquish their persistence; that is precisely why they stand here.

But having said that, can they win?

The stuff written in that book merely deceives others; it's banned not because it contains profound knowledge, but because it incites juvenile crime.

Wrapping that anomalous content scattered across several natural paragraphs with ample normal knowledge indeed also makes it easiest for juveniles to fall for.

Especially those children who have harbored expectations since childhood and never let go, they can develop a huge sense of identification in such a book, imagining the unfolding actions as if they were themselves; often they don't even understand why they'd be arrested when the time comes.

The extreme scenario in which it could truly serve as a reference is certainly not here; those horse-eared girls are quite self-aware about this.

Although the current situation is yet another extreme, on those non-intersecting parallel lines, those who can see reality clearly ought to look toward the swallows and orioles beside the trainer.

【If opening the situation, which plan?】

Text forms in the afterimage's fingertip pressure.

【Any plan will do, after all I can't see any possibility, I can only try first】

New text responds to the words, coming from a similarly typing figure in the crowd.

There are many such figures here, corresponding to the double-digit capacity of the chatroom; even though such a crowd is numerous, they cannot produce a definitive plan, simply because couples walking together at the temple fair is a matter of course, and no matter what reason you have for summoning others, it's hardly appropriate.

Calling one to come as a team is the most likely development now.

【Don't be so pessimistic, haven't we also discussed the method of overturning the table? A way that relatively wouldn't damage their relationship……】

【If it were up to me, I'd just unleash the monsters—Tunshu Jun can't stand it! Since you're all flying this banner, why be so gentle and conservative! Are you afraid Tunshu Jun will dislike you?】

【You're not afraid?】

【Master will get angry】

【Trainee isn't a dull protagonist from a romance manga, you really dare to be a bit more radical and nasty?】

【…Don't worry!! Anyway, I've already made contact with the monster with Heavenly Wolf Star! Openly and aboveboard it won't arouse suspicion from those women, nor will it go against your insistence, just waiting for a signal! Can you guarantee not to mess things up!】

【Sure】

Boom!!!!

Even before the characters were fully finalized, the sudden earth-shaking movement had already elicited exclamations and doubtful glances.

Then they saw it.

They saw a columnar beam, like thunder, suddenly streaking across the distance.

It easily deprived everyone of their vision, but also gave the chance for a huge shadow on the other side to suddenly descend.

Bang!!
