"It's sunny and the weather is nice. The first two games of this year's Triple Crown, Gaoyue Sho and Japan Derby, were both held under cloudy skies... But today, the Chrysanthemum Sho, finally had sunny weather." "Does this also foreshadow the upcoming appearance of a third undefeated triple crown horse girl?" The audience at the scene shouted Miura Bourbon's name loudly, with excitement on their faces. Although many of them don’t usually care about horse racing, and don’t watch the competitions very often… However, when she heard that the highest honor of Uma Musume, the Undefeated Triple Crown, was about to be born, she couldn't resist her curiosity and chose to come to Kyoto to watch the game. Mi Yu’s horse gate is at the 4th and 8th position, which is a good position for a pioneer horse girl like her. "The horse girls have entered the gate one after another. Everyone is looking forward to the third crown of Miura Bourbon's undefeated triple crown, the Chrysanthemum Sho, whether she can win it or not. Now tens of millions of eyes are staring at the Chrysanthemum Sho stage at this moment!" The final battle of the Unbeaten Triple Crown is not only watched by everyone in Japan who follows horse racing, but also by other countries, people involved in the industry... and some people who are more interested. It can be said that this chrysanthemum appreciation is a world-renowned event, just like the Maruzensky and Rudolf symbols at the beginning, its fame spread all over the world. "Now, while there is a short period of time before the race starts to check the equipment, let's take another look at the horse girls on each track..."
Meiyouzi looked at Higashino Chihiro and said, "Torena-san, can Miyu really exert her full strength in such an environment?" The audience at the scene were almost all fans of Miura Bourbon, and the cheers and names called out were all from Miura Bourbon. Miao Miao Zhizi felt that if he were to compete in such an environment, he would most likely not be able to fully display his strength... Because the pressure on me is really too great, competing under such pressure will deplete my physical strength much faster. "Believe Mi Yu, she has been under a lot of pressure since she was a child." Higashino Chihiro sighed. It had always been the popularity of the horse girls in her team that crushed others. It was really uncomfortable to be crushed by the popularity of others. "Although most of it was just her own imagination, it definitely strengthened her mind." "Vulnerable and powerful at the same time, it's a very contradictory mentality, but I believe that when Mi Yu is on the field, he will only show his strong side." While Chihiro Higashino was chatting, the staff who were checking the horse gate equipment on the other side indicated that everything was completed and ran towards the edge of the venue. "The race begins! The contestants rush out of the gate together! The horse girls on the outer lane are all moving towards the inner lane... while the horse girls on the inner lane are starting to grab their own advantageous positions!" As soon as the game started, a scene different from the Gaoyue Sho and the Japanese Derby appeared. Gongrong Qiangnu took the lead at the beginning of the game, and judging from her thoughts, she wanted to use the escaping tactic to deal with this game. However, Miura Bourbon did not blindly fight with Kyoei Kyounu just because she escaped. She knew very well that long-distance racing was something she was very unfamiliar with, and it was also something she had been working hard for, so... Miura Bourbon continued to do his best to maintain his pace as if he was in training. "The speed of the horses in front has been increased by the Gongrong Crossbow." This is what happens when a runaway horse appears in a race. Even if you force yourself to tell yourself not to worry too much, you will still unconsciously speed up your pace a little so as not to be left too far behind by the runaway horse in front. "Will this cause trouble for Mi Yu?" Higashino Chihiro shook her head. "This situation may be a good thing for Miyu... Arima-sama took the initiative to interrupt the long-distance rhythm that Miura Bourbon is not very familiar with. This is more beneficial to Miyu."
The competition for position is now basically over, with Gongrong Qiangnu in first place, Miura Bourbon in second place, and Mi Yu in fifth place, keeping a close eye on Miura Bourbon. “The race has just begun, but as time goes on, the distance between the horses in the front row and the horses in the back row will widen, so Mi Yu will not be affected too much.” "Now that she is behind the Taijian Poetry Drama, letting the other party act as a windbreaker, she can save more energy." Higashino Chihiro watched the performance of each horse girl on the big screen, and paid special attention to the expression of Kyoei Kyouro. She felt a little tired, and saw that the opponent was not suitable for long-distance escape. This tactic was a bit hasty, but it was just right to help Mi Yu. Before entering the straight line from the last bend of the Chrysanthemum Viewing, there is a section of ups and downs... and this section of slope is just the best opportunity for Mi Yu to catch up with Miura Bourbon from behind at full speed. "Miyu's strength is not just in going downhill, Miyu's uphill is also an art." Taking various factors into consideration, Higashino Chihiro's confidence in Mi Yu winning this time's Chrysanthemum Award is increasing. "We still have some strength left. Shall we try to surpass him now?" Mi Yu, who had been standing behind Daikan Poetry Drama, raised his head slightly and saw Miura Bourbon, who was about two horse lengths in front of him. "It's better to wait until the uphill is over before accelerating." Calming himself down, Mi Yu quietly moved slightly toward the outer circle. His current strength was enough to support his final sprint... Therefore, there is no need to continue staying behind the poetry drama, but to find a position where it is convenient to observe the situation. "As we entered the uphill section of the third bend, Kyoei Kanbow ran out of energy. She looked a little bit painful, and Miura Bourbon caught up with her from behind!" "Now Miura Bourbon is at number one, and the second most popular Miyu has also moved to number four." As they went downhill, Mi Yu began to exert force with his feet. "Rice Bath is... a rice bath that brings happiness to everyone. I will never let my brother down!" "Miura Bourbon entered the final straight line! The crowd cheered, is the undefeated triple crown about to be born?" Akasaka stood up excitedly. Just as she was about to continue playing Miura Bourbon, her face changed and she said quickly, "I'm catching up!" "The outside is the rice bath, the inside is the Taikan poetry drama, these two powerful horse girls are closing in on Miura Bourbon!" "Can you hold on? Can Miura Bourbon hold on? The glory of the undefeated triple crown is now only 400 meters away!" The audience at the scene became very nervous when they saw Mi Yu and Dai Jian Poetry Drama catching up, and they shouted loudly to cheer for Miura Bourbon. They all wanted to see Miura Bourbon win the undefeated triple crown. "Bourbon! Come on! You're the best!" "Miura Bourbon! Go!" Kuronuma, who was standing in the crowd with his arms folded, also exerted force unconsciously, and didn't realize that his arm was bruised. He just stared at Miura Bourbon running on the field and murmured, "Come on, Bourbon..." Among the crowd, the shouts of Higashino Chihiro and others for Mi Yu seemed so powerless in the face of the huge crowd that even they themselves could hardly hear them. "We can do it, come on, Mi Yu!" Miura Bourbon felt that his steps were heavier than in any previous match...but, this time, only this time, he absolutely could not lose! "Mission objective, the last 300 meters, sprint with all your might!"
Miura Bourbon gritted her teeth and wanted to sprint forward, and Mi Yu behind her had the same idea. On the pitch-black decisive battle suit, the blue rose is blooming at this moment. The flower language of blue roses: miracles and impossible things! "Mi Yu, Mi Yu will definitely win, Mi Yu must win, not only for my brother, but also... for myself!" "Mi Yu is catching up! Mi Yu is catching up!" Akasaka looked at Mi Yu's figure and was a little overwhelmed... However, her excellent professional qualities allowed her to calmly explain the last scene of this year's Chrysanthemum Festival to everyone. "Miyu has surpassed Miura Bourbon. Miura Bourbon is able to overtake. Miyu is ahead. Miyu is ahead!" "Miura Bourbon misses the Triple Crown, Miura Bourbon misses the Triple Crown!" "what!!" Looking at the road ahead with no trace of anyone behind him, Mi Yu raised his head and rushed forward like a black flame... "I just want to...win the game..." The petite body was like a tireless beast, rushing across the finish line with unstoppable force. "Cross the finish line! Mi Yu won by two and a quarter lengths, taking the last of the Triple Crown!" "There was a groaning at the scene. It was obvious that everyone was very disappointed that they did not witness the birth of the new undefeated triple crown..." At this time, Akasaka received a message from the event team and said in surprise: "New record! Mi Yu broke the record of the Chrysanthemum Award again with a time of 3 minutes 4 seconds!" However, the results that would have made the audience stand up and applaud and cheer... at this moment, they completely ignored them. Now the scene was filled with complaints... After successfully crossing the finish line, Mi Yu panted and looked at the results on the big screen. When she saw the NR mark next to her score, she couldn't help but smile. "new record!" However, when she looked towards the audience stand not far away, she could only see lifeless faces, as if someone in her family had just been dug out by someone after being buried. After Mi Yu bowed symbolically to everyone, he staggered towards the contestant passage. Although normally, after winning a G1 match, one would wave and thank the fans who supported him, but in this situation, there is no need for that. “Brother…” Higashino Chihiro took two steps forward and hugged the crying Mi Yu in her arms. "It's okay, it's all over. This is all within our expectations, isn't it..." Looking at Mi Yu sobbing in her arms, Higashino Chihiro felt very distressed. She is just a teenage girl, she is not yet an adult, why should she bear such tremendous pressure and malice?
"But... Brother, these boos are really hurtful..." Higashino Chihiro kept comforting Mi Yu and called everyone to look after Mi Yu. He would go to the press conference alone later. At the press conference, Higashino Chihiro was already filled with rage, and the staff on site temporarily stopped him... because the first people to be interviewed were Miura Bourbon and Kuronuma. This is totally against the rules. A press conference is a stage for interviewing the winners. Beautiful poses are only for special circumstances. But now, what does the Horse Racing Association mean? Even if you want to interview Miura Bourbon, you should wait until Mi Yu's interview is over. Higashino Chihiro originally wanted to walk away in anger, but there were some things he really wanted to say in front of the reporters, so he held back. As soon as she came on stage, Chihiro Higashino waved her hand, signaling the reporters to stop asking questions. "The reason why I came here alone is because Mi Yu is not suitable to come to this stage now. She is in a bad mood right now." "I didn't want to come at first, but I had something to say, so I came anyway." Higashino Chihiro looked at the reporters who came to the scene. Many of them were wearing Miura Bourbon's cheering clothes and hats... In other words, they were aiming for the Triple Crown of Miura Bourbon from the very beginning, and had even written the manuscript in advance, waiting to release it as soon as the competition was over. "As soon as the game was over, I went to the contestant channel to take the rice bath." "Mi Yu, who didn't cry after losing so many games against Miura Bourbon, cried after winning this time." Chihiro Higashino said: "Moreover, she didn't cry because of the joy of winning, but because of the boos from the audience." "It's clear that they won, but there was no cheering or applause... Why should a teenager be made to endure tens of thousands of boos?" "Do you think booing will work? Can booing make the team you want to support, Miura Bourbon, win?" "What is booing? It is the best medal for the challenger and the best honor for the winner of the challenge." Chihiro Higashino held the microphone, stared at the continuous flash lights, and said: "We will not feel inferior because of the boos in this game. We will only feel proud." "Of course, I can understand the fans' disappointment, but what have we done wrong? What have we done wrong? We just wanted to win." "If you've already determined that Miura Bourbon must win the Triple Crown, then why don't you just cancel the Kikuka Sho and declare whoever wins the Satsuki Sho and the Japan Derby without losing? Wouldn't that be safer?" Higashino Chihiro calmed down for a moment, and tried not to say anything mean, "Then, I hope the Horse Racing Association can give me an explanation for why the staff stopped me from going up to the press stand as the winner and let Miura Bourbon go up first, and apologize to me and Miyu." "Finally, based on the fact that the winner's stage is a performance for the winner to give back to the fans, the winner just now, Mi Yu, did not receive the respect he deserved." Higashino Chihiro took a deep breath and said, "I have decided privately that Mi Yu refuses to participate in the winner's stage of the Chrysanthemum Festival tonight. I don't want Mi Yu to be hurt again." After saying that, Chihiro Higashino threw the microphone at the staff and left without looking back. “Onii-sama, is it really okay? Not participating in the winner’s stage or anything…” Mi Yu looked at Higashino Chihiro with some concern, fearing that his previous remarks would have a significant impact on him. As for what her brother said about deciding privately to refuse to perform, she didn't care. She fully supported her brother's decision. "What's the big deal? It's just a winner's show." Higashino Chihiro drove the car without even turning her head. "More than 99% of the people who came to watch the game today are here to support Miura Bourbon and want to see the birth of the Triple Crown."
"Even on the winner's stage, I think they will cheer for Miura Bourbon and deliberately ignore you, Miyu... So, although I feel a little sorry for the very few fans who may have supported you at the Chrysanthemum Awards, I don't want to see you being wronged on stage." If only the fans did that, Higashino Chihiro would not have prevented Mi Yu from participating in the winner's stage... But even the Horse Racing Association is doing this kind of tricks, then Higashino Chihiro will not tolerate you. If you don't like it, then why don't we just not participate? "Don't think too much. Take a good rest. You must be very tired after running 3000 meters under such great pressure. Relax well later." Watching Mi Yu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, breathing steadily and falling asleep, Higashino Chihiro glanced at the horse girls sitting in the back through the mirror and said, "Do you think it's a bit inappropriate for me to leave like this?" "No." Maruzenski laughed, "Since they don't respect us, we certainly don't have to respect them either." "We have just discussed it. If the Horse Racing Association does not apologize, we will not participate in the winner's stage in the future competitions." "That's not necessary." Higashino Chihiro chuckled. "That little trick was probably done by the people below. The top leaders of the Horse Racing Association don't bother to do such things."
