If I hadn't paid attention to Oguruma's dancing at that time and asked her to go to the dance studio to train every week, would there have been a situation like special week? If you think about it carefully, that shouldn't be the case. Tamamo Cross and Super Cove should take her with them. Putting these trivial matters aside, Chihiro Higashino opened the document that Miss Junkawa sent to the email addresses of each trainer during the meeting this morning. The above is some of the content of this year's autumn appreciation party. After a quick look, there is no difference from the past... It means choosing a trainer to represent the team and help the student union maintain order. Anyway, there is more than a 90% chance that the unlucky guy Okino-senpai will be chosen. The previous few times, it was because the team was not complete and they had to draw other trainers again. This year, he can't escape. Thinking of this, Higashino Chihiro also wanted to laugh. Their spica team is really full of talented people. Chapter 13: Continuous Battle "What did you say? No, I don't agree!" Chihiro Higashino shook her head firmly and rejected Ogurimao's request.
Just now, Little Chestnut suddenly found him and said that he wanted to participate in the one-mile championship. If she just wanted to participate in the one-mile championship in November, that would be fine...but this girl actually told her that while she wanted to participate in the one-mile championship, she also didn't want to give up the Japan Cup that she had decided on before. "Did you know that there is only one week between this year's Mile Championship and the Japan Cup?" Higashino Chihiro looked at Oguri with some annoyance: "Let's not talk about anything else. Do you know how much stress your legs will be under after running the one-mile championship race? If you participate in the more intense Japan Cup without a long period of recovery, you will be very likely to get injured." Inside the training room, the other horse racing ladies were looking at Oguruma in surprise. The frequency of their Surpass team's participation in competitions is relatively low among all the teams. Occasionally, they would ask the trainer to let them participate in consecutive competitions... but the interval is at least half a month or close to a month, and most of the time they are competitions below G2. For someone like Oguri, it was something that she had never thought of, competing in two top G1 events within a week. Even for the teams that participate most frequently, I guess nothing this crazy has ever happened. "Anyway, if you insist on participating in the One Mile Championship... Are you going to give up the Japan Cup?" "Absolutely not!" Oguruma shook her head violently. She had made an agreement with Tamamo Juji that she would win the Japan Cup this time, and when the two of them fought again in Arima Kinen next year, they would be on the same starting line. "Really..." Higashino Chihiro touched her head with a headache. She really couldn't understand why Oguruma, who always gave her peace of mind, would make such an unrealistic request. "Can you tell me what led you to the idea of competing in both the Mile Championship and the Japan Cup?" Ogurimao did not hide anything and told him everything about Qingzhu's memories of challenging him. "Memories of Green Bamboo..." Higashino Chihiro thought for a moment and thought it was Aotake Yomiuri who won the Yasuda Kinen this year. Higashino Chihiro also watched her game. She was indeed a very outstanding player. She performed very well in the mile race and was called the king of the mile race by many people. "If that's the case, then I understand a little better." Xin Xin Guang Hui walked to the computer, operated it for a while, and then projected the video onto the screen.
The footage played was the speech of Aotake Memories' trainer, Nase-senpai, at a press conference. “As for the upcoming One Mile Championship and Japan Cup, we will participate in both.” "Is he crazy?" At this moment, Chihiro Higashino wanted to rush to Naise's office, kick the door open, grab his clothes and ask him why he did this, and then why he wanted to challenge Oguruma. But these can wait until later, as we are still in the meeting. "We won't worry about other people's affairs. There's still a long time until the Mile Championship and the Japan Cup, and the registration channel hasn't opened yet. You should think about it carefully during this time, Oguruma." After the meeting, Higashino Chihiro left quickly. He wanted to ask Senior Naise for clarification... He has no control over how Nase-senpai decides about Aotake Memory's participation in the war, nor does he care, but he must not harm his Oguruma. "Xiaoli, even if Qingzhu Memories challenged you, you didn't mean to accept it, right?" Tamamo Cross approached Oguruma, who looked a little lost, and wanted to comfort her... After all, two G1 games in a week was indeed a bit too exaggerated. Besides, if we're talking about challenges, why doesn't Qingzhu Huiyi challenge Maruzen-senpai... Although Maruzen-senpai hasn't participated in the mile race for a long time...but this doesn't mean that Maruzen-senpai is not strong in the mile race...at least the current Oguri's winning rate against Maruzen Ski is definitely less than 5%. "But I feel that since others have challenged me so seriously and I have agreed, if I don't participate..." "But it's not a good idea to miss a week. Even if I break the appointment, Qingzhu Huiyi will understand, right?" Oguruma nodded, but his eyes were looking in the direction where the trainer was leaving, and no one knew what he was thinking. While Higashino Chihiro was looking for Senior Naise to ask for clarification... other trainers, horse girls, and fans who follow horse racing... They also learned that Qingzhu Yihui was going to participate in the One Mile Championship and Japan Cup consecutively. Many trainers expressed their confusion. Nase was also a veteran trainer, and he must have known very well what consequences such a short period of continuous fighting, especially since they were all G1, would have on Uma Musume... But the other party must have their own considerations, so there was no need for them to interfere. Because there is no Naze-senpai With the contact information and the fact that as soon as he went out, Chihiro Higashino met a trainer who knew exactly where he was, and came to a sushi restaurant not far from the academy. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Nase-senpai sitting on a chair, enjoying dinner. "Hmm?" Naise glanced at Higashino Chihiro and found that the other party's eyes were always on her. She also knew that she was looking for her, so she asked: "Higashino, do you have something to talk to me about?" "Senior, please forgive me for being a little harsh in what I'm going to say next." Higashino Chihiro stood at the door of the store, looking at Naise with displeasure, and said, "What do you mean by indirectly dragging Oguruma from my team to participate in the Mile Championship?" Naise looked at Higashino Chihiro in confusion, "What are you talking about?" "I'm talking about Qingzhu's memory of challenging Xiaolimao." Nase sighed, "Should I say this is her... Oh, sorry, it's my fault for not supervising her properly." Nase stood up and bowed to Chihiro Higashino: "After all, Aotake has always been very serious. It is impossible for her to ignore the existence of Oguruma who shines so brightly in the mile race... It is impossible for her to directly accept the title of "Mile King" given to her by fans."
Higashino Chihiro frowned, which meant that this was not the instruction given by Senior Naise... Instead, Qingzhu recalled that he wanted to accept the title of Mile King given by his fans with dignity. "Anyway, please don't involve Oguruma in my team, and please ask Senior Naise to tell Aotake about his memories." "Is that so... That's such a pity..." Chapter 14: Trade-offs "I don't know what Naze-senpai means?" Chihiro Higashino narrowed her eyes slightly, not knowing what kind of evil ideas this old fox who was eating sushi was thinking. "Oguruma is very good. She is a talent destined to become a world-class athlete, especially in mile events." "I don't need you to remind me of this, Naze-senpai. I know very well how good Oguruma is." Naise tapped the table lightly and said, "I just think that if there is such a possibility, I really want to see it." "So this is why you let Qingzhu Yumi participate in the Mile Championship and the Japan Cup at the same time?" Chihiro Higashino chuckled. He was in no hurry to leave at this time. He sat farther away from Nase and ordered some sushi. "Their heyday is very short." Naise crossed her legs and looked at the young face of Higashino Chihiro. "Let them release their brilliance at their most shining time. I think this is also our responsibility as trainers." "I don't deny this." Higashino Chihiro said while drinking hot tea, "Uma Musume was active in the arena for less than six years, and her peak period was only the three years in between.
"The current Oguruma and Aotake Memories are undoubtedly at their peak." "It is our responsibility as trainers to let them shine...but isn't it our duty to protect them and allow them to leave the stage safely?" "The Mile Championship Cup and the Japan Cup, no matter which one, are games that attract the attention of countless fans. Winning them can show my charm to the greatest extent. I want to participate in both games and show myself to the greatest extent. I don't deny that." Higashino Chihiro looked straight at Naise and said, "But their safety is more important to me." Naise's expression didn't change at all. She took a few bites of the freshly made sushi handed to her by the boss. "I've heard about your dream. To help the horse girls realize their dreams to the greatest extent possible and let them retire safely." "But this is just your own idea. Have you ever thought that some horse racing ladies would rather get injured than not shine in a certain race or at a certain time?" Naise looked at Higashino Chihiro and said, "From what I know, Aldan Mejiro in your team had always had such a plan before he met you." "She tried her best to shine in the Shining Series." "At that time, she had already decided in her mind that even if her legs were broken again after entering the arena and she could no longer run, she would still continue." "Touye, if the horse girl in your team has such determination... and you forbid her to do so in order to protect her safety, do you think you are doing the right thing or the wrong thing?" Watching Chihiro Higashino leaving with the sushi she just bought... Nase remembered asking Aotake to recall the scene when they transformed from mud to grass, and then continued to taste her sushi. On the other side, Chihiro Higashino, who returned to the dormitory, was also thinking about what Nase had said before.
It is undeniable that there is indeed some truth in that. There are many horse racing girls who would rather get injured than not take part in the competition and win the championship. "I was almost persuaded by him. Oguruma's peak period is still at least one year away. I don't think she will gamble her future on this challenge. Two years of racing.” Putting all these things aside, what Chihiro Higashino should be thinking about now is the Autumn Emperor Viewing, Autumn Flower Viewing and Chrysanthemum Viewing that will be held later. During the evening training, Higashino Chihiro did not mention to Oguruma what she said in the afternoon about wanting to fight continuously, and Oguruma did not bring it up again. However, on the second day off, Ogurimao rarely refused Meiyouzhizi's invitation to go out and explore stores, nor did he go shopping with the new ace. After waking up in the morning and running outside the academy, he lay down on the grass in the training ground. "Hey, what's wrong? Why are you sitting here listlessly?" Tamamo Cross came over in his sportswear and looked at Oguruma lying on the grass, looking up at the sky. "Are you still thinking about the Mile Championship and the Japan Cup next month?" "Um……" Xiao Limao opened his hands, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky through the gaps between his fingers. "I can understand why the trainer rejected our objection to playing consecutive matches within a week... Not only because of the concern about my leg problems, but also because the fatigue caused by consecutive matches is likely to affect me, resulting in me not being able to face the next Japan Cup at my best." Although Tamamo Cross considered giving up this year's Japan Cup and devoted all his energy to training... Then, during the Arima Memorial, he once again faced off against senior Maruzenski. "Just like the guy who paid the housekeeper, although she invited me to participate in the Japan Cup, I thought about it for a long time and finally turned her down. Compared with winning another Japan Cup championship, challenging Maruzenski and getting the title of the best in Japan is more attractive to me." "I was nagged by the payment manager for a long time because of this." "Anyway, this kind of thing is a trade-off. If you follow the normal route planned by the trainer, then we will compete with Maruzenski-senpai at Arima Kinen." After a pause, Tamamo Cross quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't mean to persuade you to give up just like that. It is indeed a very happy thing to have someone challenge you to a fight. If it were me, I would probably hesitate for a long time." "In short, think carefully about whether you really want to risk it all to participate in the Mile Championship." After saying that, Tamamo Cross ran to the training ground to conduct independent training. Although it was a day off, most of them only went out once a month, and the rest of the time... I will take out part of the afternoon or morning to warm up and stabilize my previous training state so as not to relax too much all of a sudden. "A choice..." Oguruma looked at Tamamo Cross who started running during training on the training ground and shook his head. He thought that he couldn't continue to degenerate like this... Since he didn't know what to choose now, he might as well just let go and run! As long as you run, you won’t think too much! Chapter 15: Spring and Autumn Consecutive Domination The competition time each year is not fixed, but is within a rough range. For example, the Japanese derby in late May may not be held until early June, or it may start just a few days into May. In this year's competition, the Autumn Emperor Award is scheduled before the Autumn Flower Award and the Chrysanthemum Award, and the Chrysanthemum Award is scheduled for a weekend in late October.
From this time arrangement, we can also see that the Horse Racing Association wants to attract more people to pay attention to the chrysanthemum appreciation... Allow more fans who love horse racing to come to the scene to watch the possible birth of a new generation of undefeated triple crowns. This year's Autumn Emperor's Award, the horse girls confirmed to participate in Chihiro Higashino's team are Altan Mejiro, Chiyo Sakura, Cross Tamamo and Daishin Narita. There are a total of sixteen horse girls participating in the Qiuhua Competition this time. They directly occupy one quarter of the team, which is a relatively rare phenomenon. However, this also indirectly proves that the current Surpass team is really strong. Looking at his teammates warming up on the field, Maruzenski said, "This is the first time they have met in a game." "It is indeed the first time. Although Dajin has already entered the senior competition, he has mainly played in the G2G3 competition to familiarize himself with the schedule."
