But they were soon drowned out by more people. The reason for their dissatisfaction was simply that Mi Yu had hindered Miura Bourbon's triple crown. But isn’t it a bit outrageous to be dissatisfied with other people’s team transfer just because of this? And it was the trainer who took the initiative to request to transfer to another team. Inside the academy, Higashino Chihiro helped Kuronuma load his things into the car and asked, "Has the time for the surgery been arranged?" "The doctor you hired has examined me carefully. I need to recuperate during this period. The surgery will be performed on the day of the Japan Cup. What a pity! I was planning to go to the game." After choosing to retire, he now has much more free time. He is even a little worried about the time he needs to recuperate his body and what he should do after that. He originally wanted to open a gym so that he could exercise when he had nothing to do... But his son has been nagging him these days about opening a supermarket so that he can have free snacks after school every day. Kuronuma also made an agreement with his son that if he could score above 80 points in the math test this time, he would pass it. Anyway, this little money is nothing to him, and there is indeed a lack of a supermarket near their home...
The previous store has closed down, so now I have to drive far away to buy it every time. "None of this matters. I should get my body in shape first. There will be plenty of opportunities to watch the games later." "Yes, Senior Kuronuma, even if you retire, you can always go to watch the game. Tresen College is not far from your home, and everyone wants you to come back and see everyone from time to time." Nansaka helped put the last box of things on the car and leaned against it, catching his breath. Because Kuronuma left the academy due to health reasons, and he needed to adjust his body during this period...so there was no farewell party, and Kuronuma himself didn't want to do that. Just like how I came here in an ordinary way, I can leave in an ordinary way. Kuronuma nodded, "Of course I will come back often. A few months after the operation, I will be able to move around without any problem." "However, Nanzaka, you also need to exercise your body... Although I still get sick after exercising every day, it's never wrong to exercise." "I also want to exercise, but my foundation is too poor. I am still suitable to stay in the office." Nanzaka smiled bitterly, "But I will increase my exercise in the future." After chatting for a while, Kuronuma hugged everyone present tightly... Then he looked once more at the college where he had worked for 20 years with reluctance, and finally drove away slowly. The older generation of trainers present were all moved when they saw the leaving vehicles. They would also soon face such a day. Every time they saw a trainer leaving the academy, they would have this thought: when would they become such a protagonist? The new trainers who had just joined and were not familiar with Kuronuma did not feel anything and thought that this was a very common scene in the workplace. For Chihiro Higashino, Mitsui Okino, and Minamisaka, what left was not only a senior but also a close friend. From now on, they will not be able to meet every day like before, and when they want to chat, it will not be as convenient as before. Watching the vehicles gradually disappear from sight, everyone dispersed. Today is a working day and they can't delay work. On this side, Kuronuma drove back home and put all the things at the door. Suddenly, he remembered something, said goodbye to his wife who had taken a leave of absence, and drove to the hospital where Miura Bourbon was. "Master..." "I have now retired from Teresen College, and I have also taken care of your team transfer procedures for you."
Kuronuma sat beside the bed and peeled an apple for Miura Bourbon, "Chihiro and I discussed your injuries." "If everything goes well, you will still have a chance to play in the Japan Cup next year... and by that time, I should be able to move around, and I will be at the Japan Cup to watch your game." “I hope you can get a good grade.” Reaching out to take the apple handed over by Kuronuma, Miura Bourbon said solemnly: "I will definitely not let you down, Master." "You don't have to live up to my expectations, but you have to live up to the expectations of your trainer from now on, and don't bring disgrace upon the reputation of the Surpass team." Kuronuma touched Miura Bourbon's head and smiled in front of her for the first time. "You are a horse girl trained by Kuronuma. You will definitely be able to show your abilities even in any team." "The last point is, when you can get out of bed, even if you can't train, communicate more with your future teammates." "I don't want you to have a stern face and a bad relationship with your teammates and embarrass Chihiro the next time I go to the academy to see you." "Yes, I understand, Torena-san!" Chapter 26: King of the Mile Amidst everyone's worry, anticipation, and excitement, the one-mile championship arrived as scheduled. The highlights of this game lie in Oguri Mao and Aotake Yomiuri. The news that the two had agreed to compete in the One Mile Championship and Japan Cup had already spread, and the media, fans, horse girls, and trainers were all paying attention to such a match. They all want to see who will be the mile king this year. In fact, Maruzenski can also participate in this competition, and her probability of winning is also very high. Maybe it’s because she has been active in middle-distance races in recent years, and there are many horse racing girls shining in the mile race now, everyone may have overlooked that Maruzenski once had the title of Mile King. And because the start times of this year's Mile Championship and Japan Cup are very close, the horse racing ladies participating in the Japan Cup also came to the Kyoto Racecourse today to watch this game. At the same time, they are also observing their opponents, Ogurumao and Aotake Yomi. "Why did you come here at this time of year? I remember that you had already announced your retirement. Aren't you busy dealing with your graduation now?" After sending Oguruma into the stadium, Higashino Chihiro walked out again and found Aicheng Zhiao wearing a mask at the entrance of the venue. "Anyway, most of the things have been done. All that's left for graduation is to receive the diploma at the graduation party. That's all... There’s no rush, we can go back before Christmas.” Lifting the white hair that was blocking his eyes, Aicheng Zhiao smiled slightly, "And this year, we in New Zealand have a very strong junior who will come to participate in the Japan Cup. This time in the Japan Cup, our New Zealand horse girl will definitely win." As for the New Zealand representative in this Japan Cup, Chihiro Higashino remembered that it was a horse racing girl named Hollis, and her performance was indeed very good...but whether she could win the championship was something Chihiro Higashino had no idea about. "By the way, how did you agree to let Oguri participate in the Mile Championship and Japan Cup consecutively? Some of the horse racing ladies who were going to participate were a little angry and felt that you looked down on them." Aicheng Zhiao looked at Dongye Chihiro, wanting to get the answer he wanted from him. Although she had known him for a very short time, she had communicated with Huang Jincheng and had a general idea of Higashino Chihiro's usual style. "If that girl wasn't so stubborn and had agreed to compete with her, I certainly wouldn't have agreed."
Sometimes Chihiro Higashino even thought that if horse girls could sign up for competitions independently without their trainers, Oguruma might agree to every challenge and have three or four races a week. The two walked side by side into the venue. Aicheng Zhiao suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I heard that Crazy Moonlight and Tony Bianca joined your team after the Japan Cup last year?" "I'm just helping to supervise Moonlight's training and arrange games. As for Tony, his injury hasn't healed yet and he doesn't know where to go, so he came to stay in Tresson temporarily, and then stay in my team with Moonlight for a while." When she came to the stands with Aicheng Pride, the horse racing girls in the team were obviously surprised why she was here... However, Aldan, Tamamo and the others have some understanding of the Pride of Ai City and get along well with each other. The view returns to the scene of the Mile Championship, where the horse race ladies have successfully entered the gates and are waiting for the staff to conduct the final inspection. Xiaolimao is located at No. 1, Dao 1, a very good location... Qingzhu Yihui is located at No. 4, Dao 3, also a very ideal location. The race started and the seventeen participating horse racing ladies quickly rushed out of the gate. Since Ogurimao was in position one, number one, he easily occupied the inner lane and remained in fifth place at the end of the position competition, while Aotake Huiyi remained in a position further back. "The 1600-meter mile race may be a little unfamiliar to Xiao Limao, who has been competing in middle-distance races for some time, but fortunately she has not forgotten that this is a mile race." If I had conserved my strength in the early stages just like in the middle distance race, I would have undoubtedly lost this mile race. Although it's not like a short-distance race where you just sprint out of the gate...but the pace of a mile race is much faster than a middle-distance race. At the Mile Championship, it’s a straight line from the gate out to the third turn… At the same time, there is a slope with a height difference of meters. After reaching the highest point, it will usher in the fourth turn. The centrifugal force of turning while going downhill will make it difficult for the racing ladies to get together. This means that when you make your final sprint, there will be no obstacles ahead. And this is the Mile Championship, known as the decisive battle of the Mile King. When the herd of horses passed the third bend, Qingzhu Huiyi started to move forward on the outside, and all the racing ladies began to speed up. At the end of the fourth turn, Qingzhu Huiyi even rushed ahead of Xiaolimao, leading Xiaolimao by half a horse length. "I have always wanted to run with everyone I admire, and defeat them!" Qingzhu's memories accelerated once again, "Now it's time! It's time for dreams to come true!" Qingzhu Huiyi passed Liuyue Serenade and came to the leading position, while Xiaolimao on the inside was also trying hard to catch up. "Who do you think will win now?" Aicheng Zhiao looked at Dongye Chihiro. "Little chestnut hat." Without any hesitation, Higashino Chihiro gave her answer, "She told me that she would win the Mile Championship, and I always believed in her." Kouri, who was more than a horse's length behind, raised his head and looked at Qingzhu's back. "I promised the trainer that I would bring back the Mile Championship and Japan Cup trophies, so... I won't lose!" If she had not yet reached the realm a year ago, she might have been defeated... However, as she has already reached this level, she will definitely not be defeated! "Xiao Li Mao rushed up from the inside, Qing Zhu Hui Yi and she competed for the leading position and crossed the finish line!" Amid the cheers of the audience, Ogurumao and Aotake Yomiuri crossed the finish line almost at the same time. "If we cross the finish line at the same time, we need to wait for the results from the camera at the finish line."
Ogurumao and Aotake recalled looking up at the big screen with their hands clenched into fists. "The results are in! Oguruma won the Mile Championship by a nose margin!" “This year’s mile king is born!” Chapter 27: Strong Enemy in the Japan Cup "Torena-san, I win!" In the contestant channel, Chihiro Higashino looked at Oguruma, whose cheeks were covered in sweat, and sighed softly. "Yeah, congratulations." He chuckled helplessly, looked at Oguruma, and said, "Do your best in the Japan Cup next week." A few days ago, he had submitted the registration form for the Japan Cup under the constant urging of Oguri, and of course he was approved. "I will win!" In the next few days, Chihiro Higashino's main task for Oguri was no longer to help her analyze her opponents in the Japan Cup and develop tactics that suited her. Instead, it became to adjust Oguri's condition as quickly as possible. As for the pride of Aicheng, he did not go to Tresen College. Higashino Chihiro didn't know where he went exactly, and he didn't ask. "Torena-san, how about it, can you play in the Japan Cup?" A group of horse girls gathered together and looked at Little Chestnut who was sitting on a stool. Although they won the title of Mile King this year, they all knew that the challenge for Little Chestnut had just begun. "I don't know about that, but let's make the decision the day before the Japan Cup... If Oguri's leg fatigue hasn't been eliminated by then, then Oguri will forfeit the Japan Cup this time." It’s only the first day now, so let’s wait until the seventh day to see. "Let Xiao Limao recover slowly on her own." Oguruma herself nodded. If her legs could not support her to complete the Japan Cup, she would not participate. After all, this was an agreement between her and her trainer. "Xiao Haiwan, your performance in this year's Japan Cup was really..." Although in terms of lineup, the opponents in this Japan Cup are no worse than the previous one, the opponents who need special attention include the payment manager and HollySys, which he and Aichengzhiao had talked about before. Holly is known as the Queen of Horses of New Zealand. No matter what, we should be wary of her. There is also the world record holder, Skyraven, from the United States. Among the foreign players, the ones who need special attention are these three horse girls... Although their number is less than last year, horse racing competitions are all independent competitions, so the number of strong opponents has little to do with it. Originally, Qingzhu's memories would have been a point that Higashino Chihiro had given special attention to...but since the other party had chosen Lian Zhan, Higashino Chihiro no longer paid her special attention. Because Qingzhu Huiyi's highlight periods were all mile races. Although the previous competitions were on mud, it was also obvious that she was not adaptable to middle distances. Higashino Chihiro did not think that Qingzhu Huiyi would become a strong opponent. "In addition to the payment steward, Skyraven, and Holly, there is another person who needs attention, Inari Ichi." Super Xiaohaiwan nodded to indicate that she understood, but in her heart, she always regarded Oguruma as her biggest rival, and she also believed that... Oguruma could step onto the stage of the Japan Cup and compete with her.
But to be honest, the one that Super Little Bay would rather fight is Ogururi who is in completely good condition, rather than Ogururi who is still tired from the previous battle and has not yet recovered. "You should pay attention to maintaining your condition during this period...especially be prepared for the physical collisions in the Japan Cup." Chihiro Higashino projected the images of the participating horse girls onto the big screen and said, "This year's Japan Cup did not see a competitor like Able Michelle who has an almost absolute advantage in size." "Although the Skyraven is also quite strong, you won't necessarily lose to her in a collision, Little Bay... Of course, it would be even better if you can reduce the collision and conserve your own strength." After the tactical meeting, Chihiro Higashino handed the medicine bag to Oguri. In the next few days, Oguri would not need to go to the training ground for training. She had to recover from her leg fatigue as quickly as possible. Therefore, the adaptive training that was originally scheduled to start on the third day of the game had to be terminated. Oguri did not need to train for this week. Even her morning jog, in Chihiro Higashino's opinion, should be stopped for a few days. In the next few days, just stretch your legs, do some sit-ups and other basic exercises. "How's Oguri's situation? Are you really planning on participating in the Japan Cup so eagerly?"
