This acceleration made everyone, including Chihiro Higashino, open their eyes wide, staring at the horse girl in the pink winning suit. "GOALING!" "Aldansan... This time, I won..." Chapter 65: Takarazuka Memorial (Part 3) "The winner of the Takarazuka Kinen Tournament has appeared! She is Sakura Chiyo-oh!" Akasaka is a little excited now. "I believe that just one second before the game was decided, everyone already felt that the winner had been decided... But Sakura Chiyoou used her own strength and courage to tell us that no one knows the outcome until the last moment." "Today's Takarazuka Kinen was really...really wonderful!" The audience now is also very excited. Although there are many fans of Altan Mejiro among them, they feel that it doesn’t matter who they are fans of since they can watch such a wonderful game. At this moment, they are all fans of the horse girl who never gives up, Sakura Chiyo. Now, they were cheering for the horse girl, happy for her victory in this race.
"This is really... unpredictable." Higashino Chihiro relaxed. To be honest, until the second when Sakura Chiyo accelerated, he also thought that Mejiro Altan was the winner. This was different from the last time Tamamo Cross and Ogururo Hatano competed in the Japanese Derby. At the last moment, Sakura Chiyo was not only caught up, but also overtaken by almost half a horse's length. The distance was only 100 meters left. It was indeed unexpected that Mejiro Aldan would be overtaken in the end. "This match was really exciting. Aldan-senpai was already very good, but I didn't expect that Chiyo-senpai would win by a neck in the end." Higashino Chihiro patted her trousers and wiped off the cold sweat on her hands when she was nervous just now, "I'm going to the contestant channel, you guys should leave later." Arriving at the contestant's tunnel, Mejiro Aldan appeared with Sakura Chiyoou... Apparently, Aldan waited for Sakura Chiyoou for a while at the entrance. "This game was really exciting, Chiyo-sama, you performed very well, and Aldan, your performance this time has exceeded your historical record." "It's a pity that we are still one step behind." Mejiro Aldan smiled slightly and did not take this defeat too seriously. Since she lost, she had to face it honestly, find the reason for failure, and win it back in the next game. This is what she always thought. "But after the winner's stage today, you two still need to get checked out." The final sprint speed and explosive power were stronger than ever before... So, for the sake of their physical health, an examination is still necessary. The following process was very familiar. He took Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyo to deal with the reporters, then went out for a walk to relax, and returned to the venue in the evening to perform on the winner's stage. After returning to the academy, Higashino Chihiro immediately examined Sakura Chiyoou and Mejiro Aldan. "As expected, if the race had been one or two hundred meters longer, you might have been injured and fractured. But it's okay now, it's not a big problem." Higashino Chihiro will clean up After washing, he looked at the two nervous horse racing girls in front of him and said, "Don't worry too much, it's not a big problem. It's just that you two won't have to participate in training for the next half month or so. Fortunately, the holiday is coming soon, so it won't delay your training. It's a blessing in disguise." Sakura Chiyoou and Mejiro Aldan both breathed a sigh of relief... It wouldn't be good if a broken bone caused them to stop training for several months.
Especially Mejiro Aldan, her legs are much better now after being treated by Higashino Chihiro... But the experience of so many broken bones before is still there... If I break a bone, I might have to leave the stage early if it’s serious. "But just in case, come with me to the hospital after you finish your exams tomorrow and take an X-ray to be on the safe side." Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyo both nodded, but Torenasan had said before that there was no problem, and even if the condition was found to be more serious after a check-up at the hospital, it would probably only be extended from half a month to a month at most, which was not a big deal. "Oh, by the way, there is one thing I almost forgot." Chihiro Higashino closed the door of the training room and called out to Aldan Mejiro and Chiyo Sakura who were about to return to the dormitory. "The academy sent out a notice earlier that we need to discuss several issues regarding the future development of the academy during the holiday... so I probably won't have time to travel to Dragon Country with you." "But I've been to Dragon Country many times before, and my mother is also a native Dragon Country person... so I know some of the famous snacks there, and some places worth visiting... If you need them, I'll sort them out and send them to you later." After hearing this, Mejiro Aldan shook his head in disappointment, then smiled at Higashino Chihiro: "Since Torena-san doesn't have time to go, forget it. We've said before that it only makes sense if we all go together." Higashino Chihiro smiled helplessly, "You decide for yourselves. You have already finished your exams. You can think about where to go during the next two days... But it's best not to disturb Dajin. Although she has finished her exams, the time for her debut battle has been confirmed." "clear." Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyo said goodbye to Higashino Chihiro and continued walking towards the dormitory, discussing where they could go on a trip as they walked. "Yeah, if we can't go to Torena, we can also travel to other places in Japan during our vacation. Although Japan is much smaller than other countries, there are still many places I haven't been to." "How about we go to a scenic mountain village? The academy arranged it when I was in junior high school, but I was not in good health at that time and never had the chance to go." "I have no problem with that, but should we ask the others? It would be a bit boring if it's just the two of us." "Let's go back and ask in the group. Meihao should go with us. Tamamo, Xiaohaiwan and Oguri are also likely to go. Maruzen may go racing. Finally, I'm not sure about Daishin and Miyu." Looking at the backs of the two horse girls leaving, Higashino Chihiro sighed. He also wanted to travel. Moreover, he hadn't been back to Longguo to visit his grandparents for several years... He had originally thought of taking the opportunity of this trip to visit them, but he didn't expect that the chairman would send such a notice a few days ago. Thinking about the gossip that Okino Mitsuji had told her before, Higashino Chihiro thought it should be related to the elementary department. Chapter 66 Filming The next afternoon, Higashino Chihiro drove to Tokyo Hospital with Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyoo who had finished their exams. He originally wanted to have Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyoou wait for a while at the X-ray location while he completed the preparatory procedures for the X-ray... But as soon as she entered, Chihiro Higashino met an old doctor who was very familiar with her parents. After she explained the reason, she was quickly arranged. However, Chihiro Higashino and the others did not want to cut in line, so they just sat there and waited for the people in front of them to finish the inspection. "Well... this is my first time here." Mejiro Aldan looked at the people or horse girls in the waiting room, who were holding lists in their hands and had different expressions. "Is this your first time here?"
Higashino Chihiro looked at Mejiro Aldan in surprise. She had been hospitalized many times, so how could this be the first time? "Because in the past when I had a fracture or an illness, I would go straight to the end and never get stuck. This is the first time I've been in the waiting room." After hearing this, Higashino Chihiro understood. It turned out that the hospital where Aldan worked was invested by her family, so it must be a one-stop service. There was no possibility of having to wait in queues. "This is my first time in a hospital here, too. Torenasan, why do we have to come to this hospital instead of the one we went to before?" Higashino Chihiro touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Because I often come to this hospital during this period, I came here subconsciously." "Torena-san, you come here so often? Are you sick? Do you need me to notify the Mejiro family to prepare a comprehensive examination for you?" Seeing that Mejiro Aldan was about to take out his phone to make a call, Higashino Chihiro quickly said, "It's not that I'm sick. Remember last time I told you that an elder was in the hospital? I often come here to visit that elder... La. " After hearing Higashino Chihiro's explanation, Mebiro Aldan stuck out his tongue and put the phone back into his pocket. Sakura Chiyo also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, one of her trainers was seriously ill and needed to come to the hospital every day. "But then again, there seem to be fewer horse girls here. I remember the last time Torena-san took me to the hospital, it was mostly horse girls." "Because that hospital's main target group is horse girls... They have the most in-depth research on leg bones among all hospitals, and you are all very familiar with horse girls' physical fitness. Generally speaking, fractures caused by running are the most common, and other diseases are relatively rare." "But we're just here to get an X-ray today, so it's the same wherever you go... If any of you have a serious problem, then you'll have to go." While they were chatting, it was finally their turn to go in. Soon, Higashino Chihiro looked at the X-ray film in his hand and nodded. The result was the same as he expected. He should pay attention to rest during this period. With Ma Musume's recovery ability, she would be well soon. Higashino Chihiro showed the X-ray film to the two of them, and seeing that they were confused, he said: "No problem. Just don't run during this period. Normal walking won't cause any harm. Now you can go back first. There is a tram stop nearby, so I won't send you off." Mejiro Aldan put away the light disk, looked at Higashino Chihiro, and said, "Are you going to visit your senior now, Torena-san?" "Yes, what's wrong?" "Can I go over and pay him a visit?" Meguro Aldan smiled and said, "After all, he is your senior, the trainer. I think it is necessary to go and visit him." In fact, they were still worried in their hearts that the trainer lied to them and said that he had a senior here in order to reassure them, and then turned around and went to check their body and see a doctor. "Yeah, I want to go visit too." Looking at the eyes of Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyoou, Higashino Chihiro knew that they would not leave so easily. "Okay, but let me make this clear first. After you know this, don't tell anyone else, especially Tamamo. This senior also means a lot to her." The two horse girls looked at each other and nodded. But just as Higashino Chihiro was about to lead the way, Mejiro Aldan suddenly realized that since he was going to visit, he should bring some gifts... So she took Chiyo and Higashino Chihiro to a supermarket near the hospital and bought some supplements and fruits. Accompanying the two horse girls carrying gifts, they arrived at the door of a room in the inpatient department. Higashino Chihiro looked inside through the small window in front of the door. After confirming that the uncle was watching TV instead of sleeping, she gently pushed the door open and walked in. "Chihiro, you... aren't these two the horse racing girls in your team? How come..." Seeing Uncle Dangshan's bewildered look, Higashino Chihiro quickly explained, "I took them to the hospital for a checkup today. They were too strong in the game yesterday and suffered some minor injuries to their feet. So I took them to the hospital for a checkup just in case."
"then……" "Hello, uncle." Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyoou placed the gifts on the table beside them, leaned forward slightly, and explained: "Because the trainer told us that he had an elder here, we were worried that he was injured and didn't tell us... so we insisted on following him. I'm really sorry to cause you trouble." "Haha, why would I be troubled? I feel very honored that you can come to see me." These two are both the hottest star horse racing girls of today. Many people want to talk to them but don’t have the chance. Dang Shanran is already very happy that they can come to see him. "By the way, Chihiro, you didn't let Tamamo know, did you?" "No, she doesn't know that you are sick yet." Higashino Chihiro shook her head, sat next to the uncle, and said, "But, uncle, this is not a solution. Tamamo will know sooner or later." "Keep it a secret for as long as you can. Don't let me affect her. This is what you promised me." Dang Shanran glared at Dong Ye Qianxun and said, "If I affect her, I will feel that I owe her even if I die!" "Okay, okay, I'll try my best to keep it a secret for you..." After chatting with Dang Shanran for a while, I felt that he was a little tired... So Higashino Chihiro said goodbye and left with Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyoou. "Trainer, my uncle's illness is..." Higashino Chihiro shook her head, "Cancer... Remember not to tell Tamamo about this when you go back, but I don't think I can keep it a secret for much longer..." Now the uncle's health is getting worse and worse. Tamamo Cross will definitely notice something is wrong later. By that time, she won't be able to stop him... Chapter 67: Respective Holiday Arrangements At the Tokyo Racecourse, most of the people gathered here today are horse girls, trainers and reporters... As for the spectators who came to watch the race, their proportion today is relatively small. Because what is being held here today is the debut match of the horse racing girls... For many people, such a match is not worth spending time and money to watch it live, unless there is that kind of... Umamusume was very famous before her debut, otherwise generally speaking, there would be relatively few spectators in her debut competition. But just because the audience doesn’t care doesn’t mean the trainers don’t care. Regardless of whether there are horse girls in their own team participating in the debut battle this year or not, the trainers will come to watch, first to see if there are any outstanding horse girls and whether it is possible to put pressure on the horse girls in their team after her classic race is over. Secondly, there will be no training during this period, so coming to the racecourse to kill time is a very good choice. "How are the preparations going?" Because it is a debut battle, the horse racing girls will not be given too much time to warm up. They will immediately introduce themselves after entering the venue, and then the competition will begin. After the winner's stage, the next group will take over. Therefore, Chihiro Higashino usually arrives at the racecourse a little earlier... Although she is not allowed to warm up on the grass, there is nothing wrong with exercising outside in advance. "everything's ready!" Narita Daishin clenched her fists. She was now full of fighting spirit, and her energy and spirit had reached the peak. She had waited for this day for too long, and finally the day had come. Seeing Narita Daishin's current appearance, Higashino Chihiro was also very satisfied.
"Your opponents today are all horse racing girls from other academies. I don't know the details... but from the information provided by the Horse Racing Association, they are all taller than you." "But it won't have any impact on you. The horse-chasing tactic doesn't require a fight for position in the early stages. And since this is an eight-person race, your final sprint won't be disturbed too much, so you can display your full strength." Narita Daishin didn't say anything, just nodded silently. Higashino Chihiro glanced to the side and patted Narita Daishin on the shoulder, "Your friends are here, you guys can chat, I'll go back to the stands first." Of course, the two horse racing girls who came were Victory Ticket and Pipa Chenguang. After Higashino Chihiro said hello to them and left, Victory Ticket immediately pounced on Narita Daishin. "Dajin! What should I do? I'm so nervous now, my heart is beating so fast." Pipa Chenguang pushed her eyes open and said, "Appropriate tension can easily stimulate people's potential, but excessive tension can also have the opposite effect... But looking at your expression, it seems that you are overexcited."
