"Ok?" Inside the office, Higashino Chihiro looked at Sakura Chiyoou with some disbelief. "Retire?" Chapter 132 Confusion Chihiro Higashino couldn't believe her ears. Why did he suddenly think of retiring? "Chiyo-sama, this is not a joke. You are still at the beginning of the classic competition and there is still a long way to go. Why are you thinking of retiring? Can you tell us the reason?" No matter what, we still have to understand the situation clearly first. Later, we will tell Senior Haruuchi about Prince Sakura Chiyo's situation and let her do some ideological work on Prince Chiyo. Sakura Chiyoou lowered her head, clenched her little pink fists tightly, and bit her lips lightly. "It's because I feel like I have no room for improvement... Plus, I'm very confused and don't know what path I should take in the future." Sakura Chiyoou is not a particularly talented horse girl. All the achievements she has made so far are the result of her own hard work. She once felt that she could keep working as hard as she is now, and even if the progress is small, she can continue.
but…… "I see. Is your leg injured?" Higashino Chihiro pinched Sakura Chiyoou's calf and stood up. "Although the injury is not serious, there is no way for him to participate in the Japanese Derby." It was probably because I had exerted too much effort in the final sprint of Gaoyue Shang before... Although it did not affect my daily life, this period... Due to the lack of time for training, I definitely won’t be able to participate in the Japan Derby in May. Because his ranking in the Gaoyue Sho was not ideal, if Sakura Chiyoou wants to participate in the Japan Derby, he must first go to the Japan Derby outpost. But now with his injury, he is definitely unable to participate in the outpost. Even if he can participate, Haruchi-senpai probably won't allow it. Multiple competitions in a short period of time will do too much harm to the body. "But if you just can't participate in the Japanese Derby, you don't have to retire, Chiyo-sama." "But I myself..." Higashino Chihiro reached out and touched Sakura Chiyo's head, and asked curiously: "Can I ask, why is Sakura Chiyo running?" "Running for what?" Higashino Chihiro pointed to the Spring Festival trophy in the cupboard and said, "You may not know that after the Spring Festival competition, Maruzenski also wanted to retire." "Maruzen-sister retired? Why?" Sakura Chiyo was indeed frightened by Higashino Chihiro's words. Why would Maruzenski, who was almost invincible in the arena, also think about retiring? "It's because the horse racing girls all avoided the battle at the previous spring festival." Higashino Chihiro spread her hands and explained to Sakura Chiyoou: "Because the horse racing girls were afraid of Maruzen's strength, they chose to avoid the battle...but they were very unwilling in their hearts, so they vented their emotions in the tree hole of the academy." "As a result, this scene was seen by Maruzen, who was thinking whether it would be better if she stopped running on the track... Wouldn't that allow more horse girls to show their style and bring smiles to more people?" At this point, Higashino Chihiro also smiled helplessly, "Maruzen is also a very kind-hearted older sister type of horse girl, she can't stand seeing people showing that kind of unwilling and regretful expression." "So, what happened next?" Sakura Chiyoou looked closely at Higashino Chihiro, wanting to know how the story would develop next. Judging from Maruzen-sister's performance at the Gaoyue Award, she must have come out of her confusion.
"Later, I took her to the training grounds of the academy and let her see that there were not only horse girls who were afraid to compete with her and retreated, but also horse girls who continued to train in the training grounds in order to defeat her in the arena." "At that time I told her that I hope she can become a figure that everyone can chase after." And Maruzenski did exactly as he said he wanted, setting his goal to become the figure that all the horse girls chase after and the goal that they strive for. It was beyond his imagination. At Gaoyue Shang, he entered the realm that countless horse girls pursued. "So, if you feel confused now, you might as well think about why you ran in the first place, and why you wanted to run on the track." Higashino Chihiro glanced at Sakura Chiyoou who was lost in thought, and said with a smile: "As for what you just said, that your talents are not good enough, I don't agree with it." "Eh? But I'm really a bit stupid..." "If you don't have the talent, then you can't enter Tresen College. And... if even Sakura Chiyo-oh won the Daily Cup... If the horse girls who can compete in the Gaoyue Sho are so incompetent that they have to retire, then there will be very few horse girls who can come to Tresen Academy to study." Higashino Chihiro interrupted her and pointed to the team name plaque hanging on the wall. "Surpassing is not only about surpassing strong opponents one after another on the track, but also about surpassing your past self." "Isn't that what Sakura Chiyo-oh thought before? Make a little progress every day, and surpass yourself yesterday every day." Mejiro Aldan also looked at Sakura Chiyo-oh gently, "During the time when I was in the hospital before, I was also very confused for a while. I was thinking, what is the point of me being in the hospital like this?" "How can we win the Shining Series without enough training every day? Just when I couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to compromise with reality and accept my parents' arrangement to drop out of Tresen Academy and return to a normal academy to study, it was Chiyo, the King, who always stood by and encouraged me." Mejiro Aldan's eyes were filled with gratitude, "If it weren't for you, Chiyo, who has always been by my side to motivate and encourage me, I wouldn't have persisted, and naturally I wouldn't have been able to meet the trainer, nor would I have been able to stand on the stage of the Shining Series." "So this time, I will be the one to encourage Prince Chiyo. I will always be by your side... Besides, didn't we agree to compete together at the top? How can Prince Chiyo leave first?" "Aldan, I..." Looking at Altan Mejiro and Chiyo Sakura, Higashino Chihiro quietly left the office. The next thing will be left to Altan Mejiro... As Sakura Chiyo's roommate and best friend, she would definitely be able to successfully persuade Sakura Chiyo to live with her. But he would not sit there doing nothing next. He would also go find trainer Haruuchi Ryoka... and have a good talk with her about the psychological problems that Sakura Chiyoou was facing now. Chapter 133 Team Transfer "That's what happened. Sakura Chiyo is still in my office... Mejiro Aldan is chatting with her now. When they finish chatting, I will ask Chiyo-sama to come over and chat with you." Haruuchi Ryoka, who was sitting on the chair, felt a little ashamed. As the trainer of Sakura Chiyoou, she didn't notice the other party's psychological problems in time. It was really a dereliction of duty. "Has anything happened these days? I feel like you seem to be very busy these two days." Harunchi Ryoka opened her mouth, but finally sighed and decided to just say it out loud. "Because I'm going to go back to my hometown to get married soon." "Pfft...ahem." Higashino Chihiro coughed violently a few times, put down the drink, and stared at Haruchi Ryoka with wide eyes: "No wonder you looked absent-minded these past two days. It turns out you're going back to get married."
Last time I told myself that I was hesitant, but now it seems that I have made up my mind. "But isn't this a good thing? You don't look very happy." Harunouchi Ryoka lay on the table, her eyes somewhat dull, "It's just the troubles of adults." "I never thought that I would be over 30 years old and become an older leftover woman. I felt like I was just 18 years old yesterday. Whenever I think about getting married, I feel a sense of fear in my heart." Is this the legendary pre-marital phobia? Looking at Haruchi Ryoka's expression at the moment, Higashino Chihiro couldn't help but think of the appearance of those older single women described in the novels. When she thought about it carefully, it seemed that it really fits Haruchi-senpai. He has good looks, a successful career, and is being urged to get married by his family. It seems that he has all the qualities, except that he himself is not very interested in finding a partner and getting married quickly. "Hey, Touya." "what happened?" "I have something to ask of you." Harunouchi Ryoka took a deep breath and looked at Higashino Chihiro seriously, "I want to transfer Sakura Chiyoou to your team." "Ok?" Higashino Chihiro was very surprised. "It's just a wedding. Haruchi-senpai, there's no need to transfer Chiyo to my team... If you can't train during this period... the senior horse girls in your team should be able to take Chiyo with them." "Even if it doesn't work, I can temporarily train Chiyoou on your behalf. There's no need to transfer her directly to my team, right?" Logically speaking, Haruuchi Ryoka would be willing to give Sakura Chiyoou, who has potential... And the Uma Musume who has achieved certain achievements has been transferred to his team... For him, this is definitely a good thing, but Higashino Chihiro believes that transferring the team is a very serious matter... If it is not absolutely necessary, it is better not to transfer. "The reason why I proposed to transfer Prince Chiyo to your team is that I have some selfish motives." Haruuchi Ryoka looked at the daily cup trophy in the cabinet next to her and said, "You told me before that I'm not young anymore and having a baby may be risky, so this time I'm going straight to have a baby." "And since I want to have a baby, I naturally can't be like this now. After Prince Chiyo is transferred to your team, the horse girl in my current team doesn't need me to worry about it all the time. I will have time to prepare for pregnancy at home and give birth to a healthy baby." "And the reason why I chose to hand King Chiyo over to you is because you have proven your strength. I believe you will not bury King Chiyo's talent." Even if she had her own selfish motives, Haruuchi Ryoka would never entrust Sakura Chiyo to a trainer casually. The fact that Maruzenski was able to step into the field was enough to prove that Higashino Chihiro was an excellent trainer. Although at the cherry blossom viewing event, Mejiro Aldan from Higashino Chihiro's team lost the game by a nose... But those who knew Aldan Mejiro well knew how amazing it was that she could get to this point, and it could even be described as a miracle. Moreover, Mejiro Aldan is adaptable to middle distances. His previous race was a mile race. He was able to make it this far despite not being able to adapt... Even Harunouchi Ryoka herself had no confidence that she could do the same as Higashino Chihiro. Finally, Sakura Chiyo has a good relationship with Higashino Chihiro and the horse girls in his team, and she also has a good relationship with Higashino Chihiro... So she didn't have to worry about whether Prince Chiyo would be bullied after joining the opposing team. Hearing Harunouchi Ryoka say this, Higashino Chihiro still shook his head, "To be honest, Harunouchi-senpai, I am very tempted by your suggestion." For a trainer, there is nothing more joyful than having an excellent horse girl in his team, but...
"But I think this still requires the consent of Prince Chiyo herself. Isn't it a bit unfair for us to discuss her whereabouts here? After all, she is not an object that can be pushed around at will." "If Princess Chiyo is unwilling, or if she reluctantly accepts such an arrangement, I think it will not be conducive to her future growth. Senior Harunouchi probably doesn't want to see this either." Especially now that Chiyo is in a bad mood, telling her this will make her feel that she has no room for improvement and no value, so the trainer is in a hurry to make her... Transfer to another trainer's team. Harunouchi Ryoka nodded after hearing this, "You're right, I'll talk to Prince Chiyo later... If I don't convince Prince Chiyo before the wedding, then Prince Chiyo will ask you, Tono, to take care of me while I'm away." "There's no problem with that." Higashino Chihiro nodded in agreement, then stood up and prepared to leave. We have been here for quite some time, and Aldan should have finished his conversation. It is time to let Prince Chiyo come over and talk to Harunuchi-senpai. He opened the door and was stunned for a moment, only to see Sakura Chiyoou and Mejiro Aldan standing at the door, looking at him with complicated expressions. "Did you hear it?" Higashino Chihiro asked in a low voice. After seeing Sakura Chiyoou and Mejiro Aldan nod, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you start hearing this?" "It started when the trainer said he was going to transfer me to the Surpass team." He patted his forehead. He didn't expect the two of them to chat so fast. When Higashino Chihiro was about to say something, Harunouchi Ryoka said: "Okay, Dongye, since King Chiyo has heard it, let's take this opportunity to completely resolve this matter." Chapter 134: Team Member Plus One Sitting back on the sofa, Chihiro Higashino felt a little helpless. In this situation, he had no choice but to sit here with Mejiro Aldan and listen to the conversation between Sakura Chiyoou and Harunchi Ryoka. "Since you've heard everything, Chiyo-sama, I won't beat around the bush. What do you think about joining Higashino's trainer team?" Harunouchi Ryoka looked at Sakura Chiyoou who lowered his head and said nothing, "First of all, I want to apologize to you. It is because of my personal reasons that you are in such a difficult situation now." "Because I have to get married and have children, I can't help you with all my strength when you need me the most... That's why I have the idea of recommending you to Trainer Dongye." "You are definitely one of the best among the current generation of horse girls...so I don't want to drag you down because of my own reasons. I hope you can shine on the stage of the Shining Series." "Of course, if you really don't want to change teams, I support you. I will train you as hard as I can." After saying that, Harunchi Ryoka didn't say anything else. She just quietly looked at Sakura Chiyo who was biting her lips, leaving all the time to her, letting her think slowly. Higashino Chihiro and Mejiro Aldan who was sitting next to them exchanged glances several times, and they tacitly did not say anything to interfere with Sakura Chiyo's choice at the moment. I guess Sakura Chiyoou must be very conflicted at this moment. On one side are trainers who are trying to dig themselves out and stand out in the Shining Series, and on the other side are trainers who are trying to find their own future path. "Trainer, I've made up my mind." Sakura Chiyo raised her head and looked directly into Haruchi Ryoka's eyes, "If Trainer Higashino is willing to accept me, then I agree to transfer to Trainer Higashino's team."
Actually, if you think about it carefully, there is no need to be so entangled, right? The trainer asked me to transfer to trainer Dongye's team because he had his own difficulties and it was the best option he considered for his own future... So there is no need for me to make things difficult for my trainer at this time, right? Moreover, joining the Dongye trainer's team does not mean that you have to completely sever your relationship with this side. You can still interact with them normally... Apart from the different teams I train with and the different teams I play for, nothing has changed, has it? After figuring this out, Sakura Chiyo's expression slowly relaxed. Seeing that Sakura Chiyoou made the choice she wanted most, Haruuchi Ryoka felt relieved, and a stone in her heart finally fell down. "So, Dong Ye, what do you think? You don't look down on my Sakura Chiyo-oh, do you?"
