"Why, what's wrong? I'm in very good shape recently, there's no need to withdraw from the competition!" "I didn't say I wanted you to withdraw from the competition." Higashino Chihiro helplessly projected the data from the computer onto the screen and said, "After Guanghui and I have been observing you for some time, we have discovered that you have a very serious performance problem." "what is the problem?" Tamamo Cross looked at the chart above and said that he couldn't understand it at all. "That is, when there is no Uma Musume by your side, your strength does not seem to be fully exerted." As she spoke, Chihiro Higashino played the video recording of the Kobe Shimbun Cup match that Tamamo Jūji had participated in last time. "Although you won the G2 match in the end, it can be seen that your performance in the last three waves was far inferior to that when you competed with Oguruma and other horse girls." "According to our understanding of you, you should have won by more than three lengths in that situation. As for the reason why this happened, I discussed it with New Glory for a long time and finally came to a conclusion." Higashino Chihiro looked at Tamamo Cross and said very seriously: "Your shortcoming is whether your competitive spirit can be fully aroused."
"When there is a Uma Musume in front of you, or very close to you, your fighting spirit is most likely to be aroused, and it is also the easiest to unleash your full strength. Once others do not choose to approach you, your fighting spirit will not be so strong, resulting in not being able to exert your full strength." "In the last Kobe Shimbun Cup, this was the case. Your opponent didn't even approach you, but instead sprinted in a straight line from a distance away from you. Your performance in the last three waves was far worse than before." Chapter 127 Strong Enemy After pointing out the problem of Tamamo Cross, the next thing is how to solve such a problem. Because even they only discovered this flaw recently... But there is no guarantee that there won’t be other trainers who have already discovered the same loophole in Tamamo Cross. We have to prepare for the worst. In the following period of time, Chihiro Higashino and Shining Glory focused their attention on the two horse girls, Tamamo Cross and Oguruma, and they both took over everything, all for the final victory. Mejiro Altan also won the Queen Elizabeth Cup. Although the final victory was decided by the photo taken at the finish line, I won anyway. The victory in this game also gives Aldan Mejiro a great chance of qualifying for the Hall of Fame. "The list of players for the Japan Cup has been announced. Tamamo Cross and Oguri Hat have confirmed that they can participate... In addition, Huang Jincheng and others from our Tresen Academy have also confirmed that they can participate in this year's Japan Cup." Higashino Chihiro showed the list of contestants released by the Horse Racing Association and said, "Among the contestants this year, there are a few who you need to pay special attention to." "Crazy Moonlight from the UK, this Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyo have met before... Although she was only five moves last year, it is undeniable that she is indeed very powerful." "The US representatives are Paymaster and Aibo Michelle. Although Paymaster has never won a G1 event, and even won only three games in 23 games, and has not participated in the competition for a long time recently... But I think since she has the ability to come to the Japan Cup, there must be some news that we don’t know, so we should pay special attention to it.” "Then there's New Zealand's representative, Aicheng Pride. They were supposed to come to participate in the Japan Cup last year, but they seemed to have withdrawn due to illness." "Italian representative Toni Bianca, G1, 6 wins. She is now recognized as the king of European horse racing. I think she is the one you need to pay the most attention to in this competition." "Although there are rumors that she seems to have some minor symptoms recently...but I hope you can take any opponent seriously."
Tamamo Cross and Ogurume were both looking very seriously at the video of the match against their upcoming opponents being played on the screen. There are only a few days left before the Japan Cup officially begins. The representatives from the countries he just mentioned will come to Neon in advance to adapt to the venue in Neon. In this international G1 competition, whether it is Tamamo Cross, Oguri Hata, or Higashino Chihiro, they all want to win it very much. "I'll let the seniors who have participated in the event tell you some things next." Higashino Chihiro looked at Sakura Chiyoou and Mejiro Aldan beside them, "Tell them what will happen in the Japan Cup, and..." It’s a different situation than usual.” Sakura Chiyo nodded and said, "Compared to our usual matches, there will be more physical collisions in the Japan Cup." Higashino Chihiro added: "Many foreign players will engage in physical collisions that do not violate the rules when competing for positions. This is very common abroad... So don't expect others to keep their distance from you, because this is not considered a foul." Mejiro Aldan said, "When it comes to physical confrontation, horse girls from other regions will have an advantage over us." "The last time I participated in the Japan Cup, I was not fully prepared in this regard... So when the collision occurred, I had already consumed a lot of my physical strength before the fourth turn. In this regard, Chiyo is the same as me." Mejiro Aldan looked at Tamamo Cross and Oguruma with a serious expression: "And your match this time feels like it might be even more intense than our last one." "Because many of the contestants participating this time are relatively strong. If we compete with them for positions, we will definitely be at a disadvantage." "You should plan ahead to stay active in the outer circle." If they hadn't consumed so much energy fighting for position last year, Mejiro Aldan thought, she and Chiyo would have had a good chance of winning the Japan Cup. But there are not so many ifs in the world. If you lose, you lose, and there is no other excuse. Higashino Chihiro nodded. These were the points she wanted to add. Competing with foreign horse girls for positions and causing physical exhaustion was definitely the most irrational behavior. "Although Tamamo's competitive spirit problem has not been completely solved, you are also consciously trying to overcome this problem. Keep working hard in the near future and try to break it." "Then there's Oguri. The problem of uneven energy distribution that occurred in last year's Arima Kinen should not occur again in this 2400-meter race in the Japan Cup. Show me the results of our special training so that I can see the obvious effects." Tamamo Cross and Oguruma nodded at the same time and wanted to walk towards the training ground together. They still had to continue training and would definitely not lose. "Um, excuse me..." As soon as the two of them opened the door of the training room, they saw a very beautiful horse racing girl standing outside the door. "Acheng? Who are you looking for?" The horse girl standing outside the door smiled and said, "I'm here to look for Trainer Dong Ye, but to be more precise, I'm here to look for you two." "What's matter?" This horse girl Chihiro Higashino is also very familiar. She is the Golden City he mentioned before. She is called by many as the most beautiful horse girl in Japan once in a hundred years. She is also a charming model. Chihiro Higashino has a pretty good relationship with her, and over the past two years, she has become quite familiar with this horse racing girl. "Trainer Higashino, I'm here to request a combined training session with Tamamo and Oguri." “Because I will be participating in the Japan Cup soon, I want to fully realize my current abilities.”
Chihiro Higashino would not refuse this. Although under normal circumstances, horse racing girls who are going to participate in the same race will not conduct joint training to let the other party see their strength and adjust their strategy...but Chihiro Higashino has full confidence in Tamamo Cross and Oguri Hat. "Of course there is no problem on my side. Tamamo Cross and Oguruma are also planning to go out for training... because the competition is coming soon, I will leave their training to them. As long as they agree, it will be fine." After hearing what Chihiro Higashino said, Huang Jincheng turned his gaze to Tamamo Cross and Oguruma, but before he could open his mouth, he was pulled away by the two of them, one on the left and one on the right. "Hurry up, training time is very precious." Chapter 128 Knowing Yourself but Not Your Enemy "Let's start today's training too." After packing up her things, Higashino Chihiro looked at the horse racing ladies who had been preparing for a long time and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." He shook his head, indicating that this little bit of time was nothing. On the training ground, Higashino Chihiro watched the horse racing girls in the team train... On the other side, he would occasionally use a telescope to watch Tamamo Cross and the others training in the distance. The recent matches have not been worry-free. Only Maruzenski's match can make Higashino Chihiro relax a little and not have to spend too much energy paying attention to it. In the Asahi Cup Future Championship that Meiyouzhishi is going to participate in, her roommate Qicao has also decided to participate. In the Miyu Hope Championship, Miura Bourbon is also present. These are all competitions that require careful study. Three days before the Japan Cup officially starts. This is the last day off before the Japan Cup starts. I am sitting in the office early in the morning... Studying the previous competitions of horse racing girls from all over the world who will participate in the Japan Cup. To be honest, his head felt a little swollen during this period of time. First, the uncle's condition worsened again, which made him worried about the uncle and also worried about Tamamo Cross's condition. Fortunately, Tamamo Cross has not been in a slump since he figured it out last time... Recently, Tamamo Cross's training has become more stable and energetic. And this is it I have been pondering these overseas horse girl competitions for a while but have not gained anything new. "Forget it, let's take a break. We can't come up with anything new in this state." Higashino Chihiro deleted the video, logged out of her account, and was about to log into her game account. After hesitating for a moment, she put on her coat, put on a shoulder bag, and walked out of the office... while walking, she was sending messages on her mobile phone. After walking out of Tresen College, he first looked at the information on his mobile phone, then found his target and moved forward. When we arrived at our destination, it was a training ground. After passing the identity verification, Higashino Chihiro came in very easily... and the purpose of his trip was to see Crazy Moonlight who was undergoing adaptive training here. Sitting in a corner of the training ground, Chihiro Higashino looked at the crazy Moonlight running on the field, pressing the stopwatch in her hand non-stop, and then recording her current results in the notebook she carried with her. After sitting here for a while, Chihiro Higashino got up and left, heading in another direction shown on the phone. It is still a horse racing track, but the one training here at the moment is Tony Bianca from Italy, who is known as the King of Europe.
"He didn't use his true strength. Did he know there were many reporters and trainers observing him, or did he have strong confidence in his own strength?" Since she didn't use her full strength, it would be a waste of time to stay here any longer... Higashino Chihiro just wrote a question mark on her notebook with a red marker. After simply recording Aibo Michelle's data, Higashino Chihiro picked up the phone that had been ringing for a while. "I wonder where the payment manager has gone? It's okay. A large part of the data collected now is useless. Even the reference must be considered for authenticity." "Okay, I'll allow you to do an interview. You're really a natural born reporter... This is the first time I've seen a guy who wants to get information so badly that he even loses his girlfriend." "Don't even think about it before the Japan Cup. I've said everything I needed to say at the press conference two days ago. Don't bother Oguruma and the others during their training. I want them to stay in the best condition." The person who was on the phone with Higashino Chihiro was the reporter who interviewed him during his first interview, Fujii Izumisuke. After his team became popular, this reporter came to interview her many times... Especially after Oguruma debuted, this reporter became her die-hard fan and wanted to interview her many times. The last time I was shopping with Oguruma, I happened to meet this reporter shopping with his girlfriend. When this guy saw the two of them, he followed them like a shark smelling blood. Not only did he not get any interview results, but when he went back to see his girlfriend, he received a message saying that the two of them had broken up. "Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go to Aicheng Zhiao and check on her. I don't know if she has finished her training." After hanging up the phone, Chihiro Higashino took the train and quickly arrived at his last destination of the day. But it was a bit regrettable that as soon as he entered the racecourse, the training of Aicheng Pride had already ended. There is no way around it. After all, there are so many horse racing girls participating in the competition. Even if I have tried my best to shorten the time, I still spend a lot of time on the road. "Excuse me, are you trainer Chihiro Tono?" Just as Higashino Chihiro touched his hungry stomach and was about to leave to eat something and return to the academy, Aicheng Zhiao walked straight to his side. Although he was somewhat curious about how Aicheng Zhiao knew him, Dongye Qianxun still nodded and said, "Yes, I am Dongye Qianxun. What can I do for you?" "Were you just planning to come and observe my training?" "That's true, but unfortunately I seem to be late." Aicheng Zhiao's face curved up and he said, "If you plan to show this training data to Tamamo Cross and Oguruma, I'm afraid there will be big problems." "Of course I know that." Higashino Chihiro put her things in order with a slight wry smile on her face. "In fact, I was a little too nervous. The reason I recorded this was to give myself some psychological comfort. I won't show it to them." "Don't you have faith in Tamamo Cross and Ogururi Hat?" Chihiro Higashino took a look at the girl in front of her whose beauty could be said to be comparable to that of Golden City, and wondered why this horse girl had so many questions. She wondered if she wanted to be a reporter after retiring. "No, I came out because I have enough confidence in them. You should also know that horse racing girls not only compete in strength, but also in tactics. I don't want to drag them down because of my tactics." "Besides, only by knowing both ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. I don't think this is a sign of lack of confidence." Aicheng Zhiao glanced at Dongye Qianxun's hand that was carelessly touching her belly, and said, "I wonder if I would have the honor of having dinner with you?" Higashino Chihiro was stunned for a moment, then said, "If you have time, then I'll treat you. After all, I can be considered the host." "Then I'll trouble you..."
Chapter 129: The Pride of Ai City In a high-end restaurant, Higashino Chihiro still didn't quite understand why Aicheng Zhiao would take the initiative to find her and talk to her, and why he would take the initiative to invite her to dinner. According to the information Teng Quan gave me, this horse girl is a cold beauty known for her aloofness in New Zealand, and she is not a warm and cheerful person. "Don't be curious. The reason why I know you is that my parents and your parents are old acquaintances. After my parents learned that I was coming to participate in the Japan Cup, they showed me your photo and said that if I encountered any trouble in Tokyo, I could ask you for help." So they are the descendants of my parents' friends... "Of course. Since your parents and my parents know each other, I am willing to help with this little favor." "In fact, we met each other a long time ago, but it seems that you don't recognize me anymore."
