Although their strength should not be underestimated, they can only serve as supporting roles for the Japanese players in this Japan Cup. The first five were all Japanese horse racing girls. When the result came out, the Japanese fans at the scene cheered excitedly. It was also at this Japan Cup that Oguri won the Japan Cup for the first time. After three battles, she finally won once, which fulfilled the promise she and Tamamo made after the first Japan Cup. However, Shenying cried very sadly after losing. Higashino Chihiro heard from Senior Tojo that Shenying originally planned to go on an expedition to Europe after winning the Japan Cup this time... However, after failing this time, she plans to postpone the plan for one year and must win the Japan Cup next year. In this Japan Cup, Miura Bourbon was three moves behind Condor by a length. When Higashino Chihiro took her to meet Kuronuma, she felt a little ashamed that she had lost again. However, Kuronuma said that being able to see her running on the track again was more important than anything else. "This month's peak competition period has passed, and the trainers can now take a break." Mejiro Aldan stood behind Chihiro Higashino and gently rubbed his head.
"You can't rest yet. If you want to rest, you have to wait until the Hanshin Shinma Championship is over." Higashino Chihiro turned on the computer and said with some concern: "McQueen and Dobber, I am actually quite worried about McQueen's performance in the next game." "Although she is now She performed very well. I am not too worried about the long distance in her class. I am mainly worried about the middle distance... This year, there are athletes like Ennis Fengshen who excel in the mile and middle distance, and your sister from the same clan, Mejiro Rian. " The reason why we are worried about McQueen instead of Dober is because the two horse girls just mentioned have clearly stated that they want to participate in the Classic Triple Crown, which does not conflict with the Mares Triple Crown in which Dober will participate. "Is the trainer worried that McQueen will lose to Ennis the Wind and Ryan?" "No, you misunderstood." Higashino Chihiro said, "Of course I believe in McQueen, but if she wants to win, it won't be as easy as we said before." "There is no problem with the long distance in the classic competition, but when it comes to the senior level, McQueen will have to face Mi Yu and the others. Mi Yu and Cha Zuo are both very strong opponents. If McQueen wants to obtain the Spring and Autumn Shield and defend the honor of the Mejiro family, she still needs to work harder." Although they are on the same team, Aldane and McQueen are sisters after all, so she still hopes that McQueen can win. "When McQueen reaches the senior competition, his only opponent should be Mi Yu." Higashino Chihiro took a sip of tea filled with wolfberries, "I haven't told you yet that around July next year, the tea house will be preparing to compete overseas." "Eh?" Mejiro Aldan looked at Higashino Chihiro with some surprise. They knew that Wusheng Suzuka said she wanted to compete overseas the year after, but they didn't expect that Chazuo also wanted to go out. "You know about the teahouse's friends, so the teahouse also has something to do. Let's go to other places to compete... Not only can we participate in the competition and see the scenery outside, but we can also go and see if we can meet her friends." In that case, not to mention the younger generations, after McQueen entered the senior competition, his only senior long-distance opponent was Mi Yu, and that rival was basically only for one year. In the second year, it might be time for Mi Yu to retire. "Even so, we still need to work harder. This kid takes the Spring and Autumn Shield very seriously." Higashino Chihiro nodded. After all, she was brought up by her grandmother. Knowing that her grandmother valued the honor of the Mejiro family and valued the Spring and Autumn Shield, it was not surprising that Mejiro McQueen set this as his own goal. "If she wants to get the Shield of Autumn, she will face too many powerful enemies. The Shield of Spring is more promising."
After saying that, Higashino Chihiro grabbed the jade hand that was gently massaging her head and said with a smile: "Let's go, I've finished my work, it's time to go out." "Next time I will get these things done a day in advance." Mubai Aldan shook his head and looked at his trainer gently, "Don't be so anxious. I hope the trainer can rest on time. It's just that I will go out later. It doesn't matter. As long as you stay with me, it doesn't matter where we are..." Chapter 113 Expedition "Is everything packed?" "Already packed." Before daybreak, Higashino Chihiro and Musheng Suzuka arrived at the academy's parking lot. "Trainer, I can actually go to the airport by myself. You can get some more sleep." "What are you talking about? You are the horse girl in my team. Now that you are going abroad, of course I have to come and see you off." It is now four o'clock in the morning. At this time, all the horse girls are still immersed in their dreams. A few days ago, when Higashino Chihiro said she wanted to book a ticket for Wusheng Suzuka, she hesitantly said that she had already bought it. Then she asked what time the flight was, but she didn't tell her at that time. Fortunately, he remembered yesterday that he had a ticket purchasing account for Suzuka, so he took a look... Otherwise, he would not have thought of Silent Suzuka and gave up other good time slots and bought a ticket for the 5 . train. After receiving the news, Higashino Chihiro sent a text message to Wusheng Suzuka, asking her to meet him in the parking lot at four o'clock tomorrow morning. While the car was warming up, Higashino Chihiro asked, "Why did you decide to buy a ticket for the 5 . train? Don't you want everyone to take you there?" Silent Suzuka shook her head and explained, "I just don't want everyone to delay their training because of me. Every minute and every second now, the time to run freely on the field and the training ground and sweat to your heart's content, should be cherished." "If the flight is in the afternoon, everyone will definitely want to see me off, which will delay the training and affect the trainer's training plan." After putting all of Silent Suzuka's luggage into the trunk, Higashino Chihiro shook her head and said, "On the racecourse, you gain not only the glory brought by the competition and the satisfaction of sweating on the training ground, but also the friendship of your companions who run together on the racecourse and training ground." “This feeling is worth cherishing even after you retire and enter university or society. It can be said to be one of the most precious treasures for horse racing women.” Silent Suzuka thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. She left without saying goodbye, perhaps just because she thought it was good for them... But this could really hurt their relationship. "Sorry, Trainer, I was inconsiderate." "It's okay. At most, they will wonder why you bought such an early flight ticket... When you arrive in Hong Kong, it should be the time for their class... I just need to give you a safe message.” Higashino Chihiro got in the car and patted the door, "Come on in, there's only an hour left, don't be late." After sending Silent Suzuka onto the plane, Higashino Chihiro returned the same way. From now on, she will have to walk the rest of her journey in Hong Kong by herself. She doesn't know anyone in Hong Kong...so she can only ask the horse racing association there to take care of her. "Um..." "Suzuka-san, what time is it now?" Te Bie Zhou rubbed his eyes, but did not hear the familiar gentle voice.
I opened my eyes drowsily, first glanced at the empty bed, then looked at the alarm clock. It was now half past seven, so Suzuka-san should have gotten up early to buy breakfast. After washing up, he combed his messy hair. Particularly, Zhou was a little puzzled as to why Suzuka had not come back yet. Her books were still on the table, so she should not have gone to class. When she picked up her phone to send a message to Suzuka, she saw the message that Wusheng Suzuka had sent her in the morning. "Xiao Te, I bought a ticket for five o'clock this morning, so when you get up in the morning, I will already be on my way to Hong Kong... So don't worry about me, hurry up and go to the cafeteria to have breakfast and then go to class." "Eh?!" Te Bie Zhou quickly took off his school uniform, changed into it, and hurriedly ran towards the teaching building. Halfway through, he touched his stomach and turned to run towards the cafeteria. After quickly eating ten big buns, Te Bie Zhou came into the classroom and rushed to Cao Shangfei who was reading quietly. "Little grass!" "Ala, good morning, Xiaote. This is the first time I see you in the classroom so early. You are in such a hurry. Is there something wrong?" He gently closed the book he was reading and looked at Te Bie Zhou with a smile. "Xiao Cao, do you know if Suzuka has reached Xiangjiang now?" "Suzuka-senpai?" Cao Shangfei took out his cell phone and looked through the chat history within the team. She usually doesn't play with her mobile phone in the morning. After getting up and running for a while, she goes back to the dormitory to take a shower, then goes to the cafeteria to eat, and finally goes to the classroom to read. "The trainer sent a message at five this morning saying that Suzuka-senpai had flown to Hong Kong. Why, didn't she tell you?" Te Bie Zhou lowered his ears and said, "Yesterday we said we would leave today, but I didn't expect it to be five o'clock." "She left so early that I didn't even know about it. I was thinking about seeing her off at the airport. I just asked you if you wanted to see if Suzuka had arrived. I was worried that calling her would disturb her. Then I thought that trainer Higashino must know something, so I wanted to ask if Suzuka had arrived, but I didn't see her when I went to his office just now." After hearing Te Bie Zhou's words, Cao Shangfei smiled and explained, "If it was the past two years, you could indeed see the trainer at this time... but now, the trainer usually arrives at the office after nine o'clock." "OK then……" In the first two classes in the morning, Zhou seemed absent-minded. "Senior Suzuka sent a message." After class, Kusagami Fei handed his phone to Tokai Chou and saw the message on it, "I have arrived safely in Hong Kong and have contacted the Hong Kong Racing Association." Te Bie Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they arrived safely. Then, her phone vibrated, and the same message appeared in her phone... In the silent Xiangjiang International Cup in Suzuka, Chihiro Higashino could not provide much help...so apart from asking about her status every few days, she did not pay much attention to it. Of course, when the day of the competition comes, he will definitely watch the live broadcast. Now, what he needs to focus on is the Arima Kinen which will be held two days after the Hong Kong International Cup. This time in the Arima Kinen, the three members of the Surpass team who are confirmed to compete are Tamamo Cross, Oguruma, and Super Bay. And this Arima Kinen will be the last time that the three of them will compete together... Because after this Arima Memorial, White Lightning Tamamo Cross will announce that he will bid farewell to the arena forever and end his shining series.
"No matter what the result is, I hope you all run seriously and don't leave any regrets for yourself..." Chapter 114 Confession A week before the Arima Kinen race, the Racing Association organized a pre-race press conference at the Nakayama Racecourse as usual. All the horse racing ladies who have confirmed that they will attend the Arima Kinen will go to participate. "Chihiro, are you ready?" "It's already prepared. It's saved in the tablet and will be sent out directly later." While driving to Tokyo Stadium to attend this year's Arima Memorial Interview, Tamamo Cross couldn't help but ask a question. There is no way. This matter is related to her retirement. Even though she has seen many storms and waves in the past, she still cares very much about it. "whats the matter?" Sitting in the back seat, Xiao Li Mao and Super Xiao Hai Wan looked curiously at the two people in the front who were asking riddles. "You will know in a moment... This matter is very important..." In this interview, Tamamo Cross wore his new finals uniform. Arima Kinen’s final battle will also be… Wear this new winning suit to the competition. At first, she wanted to wear her first winning suit... because her predecessors all wore their first winning suits in the last competition of their professional careers. However, Chihiro Higashino said that she had never worn this winning suit once... Now that it has been made, she will wear it to the competition, which also implies a new beginning. Tamamo Cross thought about it finally. He spent a lot of money to buy it... It would be a waste if he didn't show it on the field for a while, and waste was the thing that Tamamo Cross could not accept the most... So he decided to wear this new decisive suit to compete. Before the interview, Chihiro Higashino and her colleagues needed to draw the track for the Arima Memorial. This process was very quick and was completed in just over ten minutes. Then comes the question-answering session that many reporters are looking forward to. The original order of answering for surpass this time was for Tamamo Cross to speak first, followed by Oguruma and Super Little Bay...but Chihiro Higashino asked them to change it and let Tamamo Cross speak last. Also because they are from the same team, the reporters and staff don't care. After Oguruma and Super Bay finished their interviews on stage, Tamamo Cross took a deep breath, walked to the center of the interview desk, and looked at the crowded reporters below and the continuous flashes of light. A reporter was about to ask a question when Tamamo Cross said, "Before we start the interview, I want to say one thing first..." Ogurumao and Super Xiaohaiwan, who were chatting in the audience, both looked towards Tamamo Cross, and a bad premonition spread in their hearts. "This Arima Kinen...will be our last race here..." After the words fell, the scene fell into silence. After a few seconds... there were bursts of shutter sounds and reporters' endless questions. Higashino Chihiro stretched out her hands and pressed them down, "Please come forward one by one. If you keep doing this, we won't be able to answer you." While Chihiro Higashino and Tamamo Cross were busy answering questions... the little chestnut hat and super small bay eyes below were staring at Tamamo Cross. "How could this happen? Isn't Tamamo fine? The last time I asked her, she said she didn't feel it was time for her to become a master. Obviously, she could have continued running. We agreed to retire together at the Arima Memorial next year. Why..."
Super Bay grabbed Xiaoli's hat and whispered, "Calm down, Xiaoli... Look at how calm the trainer is. He must have known something in advance. We can just ask them later." Although the agreement was just a joke, everyone knows that... when the real-life transformation is about to end, you will have to retire, and no one knows when it will end. But for someone like Tamamo Cross, who wanted to leave even though his transformation had not yet been completed, they really couldn't understand it. After stepping down from the stage, Higashino Chihiro saw Oguruma and Xiaowan immediately surrounding her, and said: "I know you have a lot of questions, but just ask Tamamo directly. She will tell you everything now." Having said that, Higashino Chihiro took the tablet from Xiao Haiwan's hand and posted the news of Tamamo Cross' retirement that she had made a few days ago on the Internet. "Let's go, don't talk here, let's talk in the car."
