"Well, I won't continue chatting with you. Training time is almost up, and I have to go to the training ground first." Higashino Chihiro tucked the things she had packed under her arm and was about to leave when she remembered something and asked: "Tomorrow is Saturday. Do you want to go out for a walk with me tomorrow, Okino-senpai? I just want to go to Akihabara to buy some things." If I had said this before, Okino Koji would definitely not have refused... After all, I was the one who dragged him out, and I was the one who paid for all the magazines and other miscellaneous things he bought, but today... "No, I'll probably have to drink all night tonight, and I probably won't be able to get up tomorrow morning... Of course, if you're willing to help me along the way, I'm not unwilling." "Then forget it." Higashino Chihiro rolled her eyes and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist and just throw you into the gigolo parlor." When they arrived at the training ground, Meihaozi had already started doing warm-up exercises as expected. Ever since the conversation with Prince George, Meimeizhi was the first to arrive at every training session, even earlier than her trainer, and started warming up here early. It was obvious that she was in a very high spirit, which was good news. After Higashino Chihiro arrived, Maruzenski, Tamamo Cross and others also came over from the student union or dormitories one after another and started doing stretching exercises on their own.

"I knew you would come here to drink tonight." Mitsuji Okino asked the store manager for a glass of the wine he usually drank and sat down next to Tojo Hana. "Ah……" Tojo Hana was not surprised that Okino Mitsuji found her. Rather... she would have been more surprised if he had not come to find her today. Ever since they came to Tresen, whenever they encountered something annoying or painful, they both liked to come to this izakaya to drink. The owner of this izakaya is also quite familiar with the two of them... It can be said that I have watched the two of them grow from being unknown to being the ace trainers they are today. "This drink is on me. Tell me, what happened today?" If Chongye came alone, even if he was craving for a drink, there would be nothing to ask...but these two people came together at night, and they looked like they were going to get drunk, so there must be something going on. "It's not a big deal, it's just that Rudolph symbolized the loss of the game." "Rudolph Symbol? Doesn't she have any competitions recently?" The manager paused while wiping the cup, then he remembered, "Oh, she went overseas, didn't she? Wasn't her performance satisfactory?" "If it was just not ideal, it wouldn't be a big deal." Tojo Hua sighed, "But when she was injured, as a trainer, I could only comfort her over the phone. It's really..." "Okay, no more talking. Drink as much as you want today! It's my treat!" "Wow! So cool!" Chapter 63: Takarazuka Memorial (I) There are only five days left until the Takarazuka Kinen Games start. A few days ago... Chihiro Higashino was also notified that Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyo had qualified for the competition. So

Today, Chihiro Higashino is going to take the two of them to the Horse Racing Association to draw the track. When Chihiro Higashino arrived at the Horse Racing Association with the two horse girls, Altan Mejiro and Chiyo Sakura, there were already several trainers and horse girls waiting there. Regarding the order of track selection, the Horse Racing Association has always ranked them according to the number of fans, that is, the degree of support. This time, Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyo were the first and second most popular respectively...so they were the first two to start drawing the tracks. "I'll leave the lottery to you guys to draw this time. I won't get involved." After the last Japanese Derby, Chihiro Higashino had thought it through... In the future, if she encounters a situation where horse girls from the same team compete in the same game, she will leave the draw ceremony to them themselves. No matter what the lot is drawn or what the result of the game is, the burden on Chihiro Higashino's heart will be lightened a little. Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyo looked at each other and took a few steps forward together. Mejiro Altan shook out a lottery number from the lottery tube first, and then Sakura Chiyo shook out his own track number. Mejiro Aldan is in the third and sixth slots, and Sakura Chiyo is in the first and second slots. Chihiro Higashino was very satisfied with this draw, but the other trainers all frowned. After all, there are only a few good tracks, and no one really wants to race on the outermost track. Now two good positions have been taken away... What's more, what they are good at is the advance that is suitable for use in the inner room, which is a bit bad. After the draw, Higashino Chihiro left first with Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyoou. There was no need to watch the subsequent draws. The Horse Racing Association would post the results on the website later, and you could check them then. "You are all players who have experienced many competitions. I won't say any more. You should have a proper balance in your training these few days and don't get yourself injured." "clear." During the training these days, Higashino Chihiro gave the initiative to them... After all, they are not young girls who have just started training, and now they have no problem conducting short-term independent training. Maruzenski also left with Mejiro Altan and the others... because she was asked to accompany them for parallel training, and Higashino Chihiro nodded in agreement. "Turn your heads around. You are not yet ready to train on your own. You should just follow my training plan. You have to eat one bite at a time." Five days passed, which was neither long nor short, and soon the day of the Takarazuka Kinen opening ceremony arrived. There were a lot of spectators at today's game... Most of them came for the showdown between Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyoou. Many people also made a poster for this game on the Internet. Mejiro Altan is standing on the left, Sakura Chiyo is standing on the right, looking at each other. There is a flame between them with the four big words "Takarazuka Memorial" written on it. In fact, the Horse Racing Association also wants to make such a poster... But you can't just say that these two are the focus and completely look down on other horse racing girls. They are the official and can't do such a thing. Moreover, if a dark horse crosses the finish line in the end, it would be very embarrassing for others, so the posters are kept simple. After sending Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyoo into the venue for warm-up exercises, Higashino Chihiro returned to where Tamamo Cross and the others were standing. To be honest, the Horse Racing Association has adjusted the entry time... Letting the horse girls warm up frequently and then starting the competition directly after the introduction is much better than the previous method of introducing them first and then warming up. At least the audience's enthusiasm will continue to be high, instead of being aroused by you and then forced to cool down for a while, which is really uncomfortable. "I'm so envious. Along the way, there are so many merchandise of Aldan-senpai and Chiyo-senpai. I also saw a lot of Maruzen-senpai's cartoon dolls."

Meiyou looked at the two dolls of Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyoou that she had just bought with some envy, and fantasized that one day she would be able to see her own dolls. Higashino Chihiro patted Meiyou's shoulder and said, "Don't think too much about it for now. You have a special status. If you want your own doll, you can only customize it. They can't sell it unless your father agrees." In addition to the other three horse girls, Mejiro and Altan, the other three in the team, Tamamo Cross, Ogururo, and Super Kobay, also have their own peripherals. After all, the peripheral products produced after becoming famous are also part of expanding influence. A large part of Higashino Chihiro's daily work now is to receive cooperation applications from various manufacturers or companies... I hope that they can be allowed to use the image rights of the horse girls in the team or give them endorsements, etc. She stuck out her tongue in a beautiful posture. She was very clear about this fact. Her current identity was still kept secret. "But speaking of the surrounding areas, Oguri, there are many food restaurants such as buffets and ramen shops that hope to cooperate with you." Oguruma raised his head, swallowed the bread in his mouth, looked at Higashino Chihiro and said, "Sure, I have no problem with that." "There are so many problems. It's not as simple as you think." He rolled his eyes and said, "I'll talk to you about the details later, after Dajin's debut match is over. There are too many things involved, and it can't be resolved with just an agreement." "okay." Super Little Bay smiled and said, "After all, everyone knows that Xiaolimao particularly likes to eat. It is expected that those in the catering industry will come to Xiaolimao." Tamamo Cross also reached out and touched Oguruma's slightly bulging belly... Who would have thought that a stomach like this would only take an hour to digest all the food piled up inside. "The same goes for Little Bay and Tamamo. There will be a short window of time after your final exams... Then come to my office and dispose of all these things." After Narita Daishin looked up at them, he immediately lowered his head and continued to sit quietly in his seat playing with his mobile phone. “The individual performances will begin immediately. All horse girls, please return to the contestant channel and prepare…” Chapter 64: Takarazuka Memorial (II) The horse racing girls participating in the Takarazuka Kinen took the stage in order of their popularity, threw their capes on the ground in a very handsome manner, and showed off their style. “Although I’ve seen it many times, I still want to complain. There’s nothing wrong with throwing it on the ground… but why do you have to bend down to pick it up yourself? The domineering attitude you just displayed is gone in an instant.” Maruzenski looked at Higashino Chihiro in confusion: "Does the trainer think this move is not okay? But I think it's very, very handsome when I show myself on the stage!" "No, I'm not saying it's not cool, but can you make some modifications to this cape thrown on the ground? For example, if you wave your hand, the cape will return to your hand. I think this is more cool." With her many years of experience in watching anime, Chihiro Higashino can be sure that... if she designs a recyclable cloak, it will definitely attract all eyes. "But no one has proposed it for so long. Is there no way to achieve it?" Chihiro Higashino decided to wait until the game was over before asking to see if there was any solution. If there was a solution, that would be the best, but if not, it didn't matter. "Now comes the most popular player, Aldan Mejiro from track number six." In the commentary booth, Akasaka said to his partner today, Hosoe: "In today's match, Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyoou both changed into new winning uniforms... I wonder if these new winning uniforms can bring them victory." "Looking back, we can also see that the racecourse today is full of spectators... It seems that today's race has attracted the attention of many fans."

“After all, the Takarazuka Kinen is a very important G1 race… and the horse girls who came to Hanshin Racecourse today are all very strong horse girls.” Hosoe nodded and turned his gaze to the field. There were a total of eighteen horse girls doing their final warm-up exercises. She opened the notebook and began to introduce each horse racing girl on the field to the audience in more detail. Her eyes mainly stayed on Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyoou...but the time she spent commenting on each horse girl was almost the same, and her tone did not change much. As a commentator, she can certainly have her own favorite horse girls that she wants to support... But when she sits in the commentary seat, any of her commentary cannot be biased, and she must try to explain every game to the audience as objectively as possible. "Okay, we see that the staff has pushed the gate onto the grass, and the eighteen horse racing ladies have entered the gate one after another. The Takarazuka Kinen of this G1 race is about to begin!" With an order, the gates opened at the same time. "The race begins! All contestants rush out in a straight line. What a beautiful start." As soon as the race started, the horse girls began to scramble for positions. Sakura Chiyo, who was on track number two, had a huge advantage during this period, but... "This Takarazuka Kinen is a little special. None of these horse girls are good at, or have used, the lead tactic in previous races... But fortunately, there are only five of you who are good at using the first move tactic. So the pressure on you to fight for the position in front is not that great..." "I won't say much about the tactics this time. After so many games, you must be very experienced." Just one day before the game, Higashino Chihiro said to Sakura Chiyoou and Mejiro Aldan: "So this time, it is up to you to decide how to perform and what tactics to use in the competition." "Aldan, Prince Chiyo, let's run through this Takarazuka Kinen without any regrets." Recalling his trainer's words, Sakura Chiyo suppressed his urge to rush to the front and fixed his position at number three. And Mejiro Aldan was following closely behind Sakura Chiyo on the right. "Chiyo-san, this is the first time we've faced off in an official match, and I believe it won't be the last time... But, this time at the Takarazuka Kinen, the victory is mine!" In the stands, Chihiro Higashino looked at the two figures, one pink and one blue, standing closely together, clenched her fists and cheered for them in her heart. They are good at taking the lead The horse girls, after such a long period of training by Chihiro Higashino, it seems that their endurance, explosive power and willpower are actually very similar. And now the two horse girls are fighting for the position so fiercely that it is really hard to predict the outcome. However, precisely because the outcome is unpredictable, this game is worth watching carefully. "You can see that the horses in front have reached the final bend... The horse racing ladies behind are running towards the outer circle, and it seems that they are going to make the final acceleration sprint." "Wait, Sakura Chiyo-oh is exerting his strength at this time! Sakura Chiyo-oh is in the lead!" "Mejiro Aldan behind was not willing to be outdone. She also exerted her strength and bit Sakura Chiyo tightly! The two of them were almost in the same pace!" Sakura Chiyoou heard the footsteps coming from beside her. She did not dare to stop for a moment and released all the strength she had accumulated. "Chiyo-san! I will definitely not lose this match!" It was as if a blue flame was floating in Mejiro Altan's eyes. Mejiro Altan once again increased his speed and successfully surpassed Sakura Chiyoou who was in front of him.

"The uphill track has ended. Mejiro Altan is already ahead of Sakura Chiyo-oh. There are only two hundred meters left! Does Sakura Chiyo-oh have a chance? Can Sakura Chiyo-oh still catch up with Mejiro Altan!" Now the entire arena, including all the spectators watching the game on TV and mobile phones, have their eyes fixed on the blue and pink teams, holding their breath, waiting for the final two hundred meters to pass. "Will not……" Sakura Chiyoou raised her head slightly, and she suddenly remembered the scene when she was defeated miserably in the Gaoyue Sho and missed the Japanese Derby. Pink flames burned in her eyes. "How can I be willing to lose? I must win!" "Haaah!" "The last hundred meters! Mejiro Ardan is still in the lead, could it be that... wait! Sakura Chiyo King is speeding up again! Getting closer, getting closer! Does Sakura Chiyo King have a chance? Sakura Chiyo King!"
