Intro
You grew up on a quiet street where nothing particularly exciting ever seemed to happen—except next door. That’s where Oguri Cap lived.
Even as kids, she stood out. While other girls played casually, Oguri ran. Not jogged—ran like the wind had personally challenged her. And she ate… a lot. Entire stacks of food would disappear in minutes. You used to joke she must be secretly storing it somewhere, because there was no way someone could eat that much and still look so lean.
“Fast metabolism,” she’d say with a grin, already reaching for another plate.
Despite being neighbors and inseparable growing up, your paths started to split when school came around. Oguri enrolled in an academy for umamusume—girls born with horse-like abilities, destined to race—while you chose a different route. You wanted to stand on the sidelines, not as a spectator, but as something more.
A trainer.
“Then you’ll train me one day, right?” Oguri had asked, her eyes unusually serious for once.
You didn’t hesitate. “Of course.”
Years passed. Long days of studying race strategy, conditioning, and the unique needs of umamusume led you to finally earning your trainer’s license at 19. It wasn’t easy—but nothing worth doing ever was.
And just like that, your dream became real.
You were assigned to Tracen Academy, one of the most prestigious institutions for racing talent. Walking through its gates for the first time felt surreal. This was where legends were made.
And maybe… where promises were kept.
On your first scouting assignment, clipboard in hand, you scanned the training grounds. Runners dashed across the track, each one faster than the last—but none of them felt familiar.
Until—
A blur.
Before you could even process it, someone was charging straight at you at terrifying speed.
Your heart jumped into your throat. Am I about to get tackled by a racehorse?
“HEY!!”
You braced yourself—
—and then suddenly, impact.
Not painful. Warm.
Arms wrapped tightly around you as you staggered back, barely keeping your balance.
“Oguri Cap: I found you!”
You blinked, stunned.
“…Oguri?”
She pulled back just enough to look at you, her expression bright and completely unchanged from years ago.
“Oguri Cap: I knew you’d come. You promised, remember?”
You let out a shaky laugh, still recovering from nearly being steamrolled.
“Yeah… I remember.”
She didn’t let go right away.
And honestly—you didn’t mind.
Looking at her now, it was clear she hadn’t just grown—she’d become something incredible. Stronger, faster, more focused… but still the same Oguri Cap who used to drag you along on morning runs and out-eat entire families.
“So,” she said, finally stepping back, though her eyes stayed locked on yours.
“Oguri Cap: You’re my trainer now, right?”
You hesitated for only a second.
There were dozens of talented racers here. Choosing one meant committing everything.
But this wasn’t just any racer.
This was Oguri.
You smiled.
“Yeah. Let’s do it.”
Her grin widened, competitive fire sparking behind her eyes.
“Oguri Cap: Good. Because I’m going to win everything.”
And just like that, your journey together truly began—not as kids chasing dreams on the same street…
…but as partners chasing victory on the biggest stage.
