"To be honest, I don't understand it. What's there to be ashamed of?"
Sakura Baimu knelt down halfway and spoke softly.
"As far as I know, most trainers will touch the legs to confirm various information about an Umamusume. Even during the training and assessment of trainers, there is also a question about touching the legs to identify an Umamusume's characteristics."
As she spoke, she gently squeezed Satono Diamond's fair thighs with both hands.
"The lines of the lower body are very good. It seems the explosive power is very good. You will definitely be able to surpass other Umamusume very easily. In this case, it is more suitable for you to choose a 'bad' running style behind the team and then use your strength in the final stretch."
Sakura Baimu spoke, sliding her hands over Satono Diamond's small knees, and pinched her smooth calf a few times, feeling the full and elastic feedback on her fingertips.
"Eh—"
Satono Diamond shuddered and let out an exclamation.
"Well, the endurance is also good. It feels very similar to McQueen. It seems you can adapt well to medium and long distance tracks."
Sakura Baimu explained, letting go and standing up.
And the red-faced Diamond was finally able to open her eyes and lower her arms that had been raised in front of her chest.
"Normally, you have to figure out what kind of track you are suitable for, but forget it."
"Why... why? If this is a necessary process... Trainer-san doesn't need to take care of me..."
Satono Diamond's face turned red and she was about to take off her socks.
"No need." Sakura Baimu waved her hand, "Since you two want to achieve higher achievements and achieve results that are equal to or even exceed those of Teiō and McQueen, you must participate in Turf competitions."
"So, whether you two are used to running on Turf or not, you have to work hard to adapt to it."
"So that's it." Satono Diamond suddenly realized, "But Kita-chan and I are both suitable for Turf, so Trainer-san can rest assured."
She pulled up her dark blue stockings that had fallen to her ankles, obviously very happy to hear Sakura Baimu's evaluation of her being similar to that of Mejiro McQueen.
"Yeah."
Sakura Baimu nodded, and suddenly smiled and teased Satono Diamond.
"Speaking of which, Dia-chan doesn't seem to show any resistance to Kita-chan massaging you."
Tokai Teio and Mejiro McQueen on the side heard Sakura Baimu's words. Both of them widened their eyes and booed in an extremely exaggerated manner.
"Ohhhhhhhh!"
As soon as the cheers started, the three of them saw a cloud of white steam rising from the heads of the two newcomer Umamusumes. Their fair faces turned red again and neither of them said a word.
Sakura Baimu, Tokai Teio, and Mejiro McQueen burst into laughter, and then turned their attention again to the girl with black hair and red eyes, Kitasan Black, who was watching from the side.
Kitasan Black had been staring at Sakura Baimu, and now that she was looking at her, the girl's already red cheeks became a little darker again.
She looked at Tokai Teio, then at Satono Diamond, and took the initiative to take off her stockings.
Sakura Baimu mainly touches the lower body area called the tomo, which refers to the entire area of the umamusume's psoas muscle and the base of the hind legs.
But for an Umamusume, you can clearly know the quality of her legs just by touching the thigh above the knee.
Kitasan's leg lines are also perfect, but her thighs are not as elastic as Diamond's but are tighter.
"The lines of Kitasan are also okay. They are not as elastic as Dia's, but they are tighter. Overall, they are very good."
"Then what position is suitable for me?"
Kitasan Black's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head to ask Sakura Baimu.
"Given the quality of your legs, it's most appropriate to lead from the front. Don't rely on bursts, but rely on your own speed to disrupt the rhythm of all the other Umamusumes, and stay in the front position from the beginning until you cross the line."
"Okay~"
Kitasan Black responded.
Sakura Baimu moved her hands to Kitasan Black's calves. After lightly feeling her smooth and tight leg muscles with her fingertips, she nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, there is no problem with the distance. Kita-chan, you are also suitable for medium and long distance runs."
With that said, Sakura Baimu stood up, and Kitasan Black quickly pulled up her stockings.
"There is almost no difference between the two of you in your adaptability to distance. Your adaptability to middle and long distances is very good. Mile races are average. There is no need to run short distance races."
"Understood."
"Got it."
Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond nodded, quite happy in their hearts.
Large-scale prize competitions are mostly in the middle and long distances. The two of them are very adaptable to these two distances, which means that both of them have good talents.
"But now there's a problem."
Mejiro McQueen suddenly spoke.
After seeing Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond looking at each other in confusion, she continued.
"In the case of the Classic Triple Crown, you two will have no problem. But in the case of the Triple Tiara, the Oka Sho is a 1,600 Meter mile event. Both of you have average adaptability to mile events, but you have to run it."
"So, have you decided who's going to run the Tiara?"
Of course, this sentence has another meaning in Sakura Baimu's heart.
That is—have you decided who will be the mare?
Triple Tiara, also known as the Triple Crown for Mares, is a Triple Crown race that only mare umamusume can participate in.
There is a kind of Umamusume in this world called "Elite Umamusume", which is the Umamusume born from the father who won the classic Triple Crown and the mother of the Triple Tiara.
Of course, competitions in the Umamusume world do not differentiate between males and females, but everyone is still used to calling the Umamusume who has obtained the Tiara "Mom".
Satono Diamond and Kitasan Black were stunned at the same time after hearing Mejiro McQueen's words, but after a moment, Satono Diamond took a step forward, put her palms on her chest, and looked at Sakura Baimu with a resolute expression.
"Trainer-san, let me run the Triple Tiara race. Kita-chan wants to always aim for Miss Teiō, and the Classic Triple Crown race should be given to her."
"Dia-chan..."
Kitasan Black was a little moved.
However, Sakura Baimu did not just agree to Satono Diamond's request, but turned her blue eyes to Kitasan Black.
"If I asked you to get the Triple Tiara, would you do it?"
"Huh?"
Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond were both stunned.
"Kita-chan, you said your goal is Teiō, so you have to win the Triple Crown of the Classic Triple Crown? It doesn't matter, I respect your decision." Sakura Baimu said.
"Well, I didn't say that I have to become the classic Triple Crown Umamusume... I just want to be as powerful and dazzling as Miss Teiō..."
Kitasan Black murmured a few words, and then looked at Sakura Baimu with a pair of red eyes.
"Trainer-san, what do you think?"
"I personally hope you run the Tiara." Sakura Baimu smiled.
"Okay!"
Kitasan Black nodded heavily.
"Then I'll listen to Trainer-san and run the Triple Tiara race!"
Seeing the pretty and cute girl with short black hair in front of her nodding heavily, Sakura Baimu raised the corner of her mouth and had a bold idea in mind.
She wants Kitasan Black, who is known as the injury-free Tokai Teio in history, to run in a way that is impossible in this world——
High-Intensity Consecutive Races.
