Under the death stares of Higashino Chihiro and Okino Mitsuji, Minamisaka said goodbye with a smile and left. Yuki was still waiting for him at the academy gate, and he couldn't stay with these two single guys and make them wait for a long time. "So what do we do?" "I don't know...how about going to a pub and drinking?" Chapter 69: Non-stop training "How are you doing in the academy, Torena-san?" "Early in the morning", Chihiro Higashino received a video call from Altan Mejiro. On the other end of the phone, Altan Mejiro and the others were wearing mountaineering clothes. Behind them, there was a pot propped up on a wooden frame and burning on the fire. They must be cooking. Chihiro Higashino seemed to have seen that Captain Lola seemed to be collecting firewood a little further away... It seemed that their life camping in the mountains was very good. "I?" Higashino Chihiro scratched his head and then yawned. "I feel like I've returned to high school and experienced all the necessary holiday experiences for high school students that I haven't experienced during the high school holidays." The original plan to go camping like Mejiro Altan... was canceled because Minamisaka went to look at houses with his girlfriend. Okino Mitsuji's suggestion of going to an izakaya was also rejected by him.

So now Higashino Chihiro's holiday plan is to have no plan, just do whatever comes to mind, or read books in the library... Either I go out for a walk, or like yesterday, I play games all night and get woken up by the phone in the morning. “I feel like if Little Bay knew about Torenasan’s life during this period, she would definitely criticize you.” "So please don't tell Xiao Wan." After chatting with the horse girls for a while, Higashino Chihiro stretched, glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table, and found that it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. She was a little hungry. "Although I don't know what you are cooking, it's best to take a look now to make sure the ingredients in the pot are not overcooked... If they are burnt or overcooked, they will not taste good." Higashino Chihiro's words made Sakura Chiyo scream and hurried over... Next to the cooking pot, he called on Xiao Limao to help him move the pot to another pile of stones using wood. "Okay, you guys continue with your work. If you don't know anything, ask Captain Lola. She must be an expert in this area. I'm going to eat too." After the video call ended, Higashino Chihiro threw back the quilt, walked under the bed and opened the curtains. Instead of the sunlight shining in to dazzle his eyes as he had imagined, he saw raindrops dripping on the already wet ground. "Tsk, why is it raining today?" Seeing that it was raining heavily outside, Higashino Chihiro gave up the plan of going downstairs to the cafeteria. If her clothes got wet, she would have to wash them, which would be very troublesome. So Higashino Chihiro turned around, opened the door, and came to the door of Okino Mitsuji next door. After knocking a few times and no one answered... he took out the spare key given to him by Okino Mitsuji and opened the door. Ignoring the wine bottle that fell on the ground and Mitsuji Okino who was sleeping on the ground like a pig, Chihiro Higashino came to his cabinet, took out two cup noodles, two sausages and a boiled egg and walked out. Before leaving, he was very considerate and covered a blanket on Okino Mitsuji who was lying on the ground. These cup noodles were bought by Higashino Chihiro and Okino Koji when they went shopping together at the mall... Because when their trainers are busy or too lazy to go to the cafeteria and cook for themselves, or when they suddenly feel hungry at night, they will eat these things. However, Super Xiaohaiwan is extremely sensitive to these cup noodles. Last time, Higashino Chihiro had hidden the cup noodles very well... but in the end, they were still discovered by Super Xiaohaiwan who came to his place to cook on his day off. Not only were all the cup noodles confiscated by Super Little Bay, but he also received nearly half an hour of criticism and education from Super Little Bay, just like an elementary school student who had made a mistake.

Since then, Higashino Chihiro hid the cup noodles she occasionally bought in Okino Mitsuji's room, and when she needed them, she would just come and get them. Sometimes, Meihaozhiji would also try "common people" food like cup noodles... In her opinion, such food is not only convenient and simple, but also tastes very good. It is a kind of food that she likes very much. However, due to Super Xiaohaiwan's advice, if she wanted to eat, she would go outside the college on her days off, or hide in her club to eat. He opened the cup of noodles, poured all the seasoning packet inside, then poured in the boiled water, and put the lid back on with the noodle press. He only needed to wait a few minutes and he could enjoy today's lunch. Open the window slightly so that you can still hear the sound of raindrops dripping while minimizing the amount of raindrops that fall into the room. After the cup noodles were ready, Higashino Chihiro stood in front of the window holding the noodles, looking at the scenery in front of him, listening to the sounds of nature, and taking a sip of noodles from time to time. He felt that this was pretty good for him, no worse than Aldan Chiyo and the others going on an outing. After eating the instant noodles, Chihiro Higashino threw them into a bag she had prepared earlier, intending to throw it into the trash can downstairs later. Chihiro Higashino, who was standing by the window looking at the rainy scenery, suddenly noticed two figures passing by downstairs... If he was not mistaken, they should be Bourbon Miura and Kuronuma. That should mean they just went for training. Although the academy does not allow training inside the academy, it does not prohibit training outside the academy... So they should have gone to the park outside and trained around the horse girl's exclusive running track. "You don't miss the opportunity to train even on rainy days during holidays. Really..." Chihiro Higashino did not comment on their Spartan-style training... Senior Kuronuma would take Bourbon Miura to the hospital for checkups from time to time, and her physical condition was very good, so there was nothing to say. However, Bourbon Miura was able to really accept Kuronuma's training, which made him frown, and he has persisted until now, which made Chihiro Higashino very impressed. The willpower of this horse racing girl was beyond his imagination. "Through this hellish training, we can indeed narrow the gap in adaptability. If we continue to train like this, the problem of insufficient physical strength will be reduced to a minimum by the time of the Chrysanthemum Festival. Moreover, even in the upcoming competitions, we can enter the sprint state earlier due to the improvement in physical strength. This can be considered a relatively comprehensive training." “If Miyu is not going to debut with us next year and participate in the Shining Series together… I’m really looking forward to Miura Bourbon winning the triple crown to fulfill Kuronuma-senpai’s dream.” "But since Miyu is also going to participate, whether Miura Bourbon can take all three crowns from Miyu depends on her own strength. Kuronuma-senpai... Miyu and I will not let you off just because you have trained so hard." Chapter 70: Plans for the Elementary Department After several meetings, the academy's plan to allow the elementary department's horse girls to begin training was finally approved. However, it will still take some time to implement it...So after the chairman and the board of directors finished discussing it, they unanimously decided to wait until the end of next year's enrollment before implementing it. During this period of time, all trainers can also go to the elementary department in advance to find suitable horse girls for temporary signing, and then sign a formal contract after reaching the intermediate department. This temporary contract proposal It was a suggestion made by seniors such as Haruchi Ryoka and Furuya Noriko, on the grounds that the ponygirls in the beginner's division were not mentally mature enough and might not be able to withstand the trainer's request and just agreed to it. In order to prevent these elementary school girls from regretting their mistakes in the future, such a plan was formulated. If you have the ability, you can keep them. If you don’t have the ability and others have already made up their minds to leave, then don’t stand in their way of moving towards a brighter future. The relationship between trainers and horse girls is based on a degree of compatibility. A high degree of compatibility can more easily stimulate the potential of this horse girl, while a low degree of compatibility... Of course, in order to prevent some horse girls from being too shy to choose to quit the team... before they are promoted to the intermediate department, the student council, teachers and Miss Junkawa will interview the horse girls who joined the team in the elementary department, and then Miss Junkawa will communicate with the trainers to let them quit the team. "Minamisaka, do you plan to visit the elementary school club after you come back from summer training?" Nansaka thought about it and nodded, "I will still go and take a look. After all, the elementary school students can also be trained in the future... and if I don't go, there will definitely be many trainers who will go back, and it will be much more difficult to sign a contract later."

"What about you? Have you decided to slow down for the next few years?" Higashino Chihiro nodded, but he didn't plan to go to see it in the next two years. The first grade was still a restricted area and no signing was allowed. In the second and third grades, he would be responsible for McQueen and Dobber. There were many members in the team, so there was no rush. It didn't matter if he went to see it in two years, but... "But Okino-senpai, if you still can't find a team next year, it will be troublesome." Before the meeting ended, the chairman also emphasized one point, which is this time next year... All trainers must have at least five horse girls in their team. If the requirement is not met... the Horse Racing Association may temporarily disqualify the horse girls from participating in their debut. “Ahhh, this is so annoying, is that old guy from the Horse Racing Association targeting me?!” The old guy that senior Okino Mitsuji mentioned was a senior of his when he was in the trainer academy. He is currently working at the Horse Racing Association and is said to be a chairman. The two of them seemed to have always had a pretty good relationship, if you count the quarrels they always had when they met. "Forget it. Anyway, there is only one pony girl in my team, Victory Ticket. He just doesn't allow her to participate in the debut battle. It doesn't matter..." Seeing Okino Koji's smug look, Higashino Chihiro couldn't help but remind him, "But Okino-senpai, if I remember correctly, the chairman gave you a formal notice last year, saying that you must get the team together next year, right?" Okino Koji's face froze, and he scratched his head in annoyance, "I know, I know... Really, you won't let me touch a fish in peace." Watching Okino Koji leave alone, Nansaka asked Higashino Chihiro with some curiosity, "The dean's formal notice? The dean shouldn't force Okino-senpai like this, right? I believe she is delegating a lot of tasks to let Okino-senpai recruit more horse girls, right?" "There is a notice from the Racing Horse Association. If there are any more members missing... the Racing Horse Association will temporarily cancel the name of the spica team. This is something that Senior Okino cannot accept." Nanban was a little confused after hearing this, "It doesn't matter, right? After the team is assembled, we can still use this name, and no one else will use this name." Higashino Chihiro shook her head. "Perhaps this will have a different meaning for Okino-senpai. I've been in the academy for so long, and I know a little bit about Okino-senpai's past... But two years have passed, and I hope he can cheer up and find his true self again." The holiday is coming to an end, and the Surpass team’s third summer training camp is about to begin. Originally, Higashino Chihiro's idea was to pay for the rental of a beach for training... because Mejiro Mitsuki seemed to want to use the Mejiro family's beach this year... and since their team used it last time, Aldan gave up this time. But the beautiful posture of the princess in their team who longs for the life of a commoner... But she proposed that she wanted to go to the academy's beach for training with most of the horse girls... The other horse girls said it was up to them, as long as they had a place to train... So Chihiro Higashino decided to hold the team's summer training at the same academy beach as everyone else. "Little Bay? Why are you back now? How was your vacation?" Super Cove heard the trainer's voice, stopped, and said, "Torena-san, I'm doing pretty well." "Because we're going to attend the summer training in two days... I think everyone will be back at the academy tomorrow... So I came back a day early to help everyone clean the dormitory. No one has cleaned it for so many days, so there must be some dust. Cleaning is necessary. " Hearing Super Xiaowan's words, Higashino Chihiro couldn't help but smile. As expected of the horse girl who plays the role of mother in his team, this is really... "Don't spoil them too much, or they won't even know how to clean the house." "You're exaggerating, Torenasan. I'm just trying to help you out."

After chatting with the trainer for a while... Super Little Bay said goodbye and prepared to go back to the dormitory to start cleaning... But after taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned around and said, "By the way, trainer, I haven't cleaned your room for a long time, right? Do you need my help?" "No, no, I often clean up when I have nothing to do in the academy recently. There is nothing I can help with." "That's it." A trace of pity flashed in Super Bay's eyes, he raised his head and looked at Higashino Chihiro with a smile: "Then trainer, I'm leaving first." Looking at the back of Super Little Bay, Higashino Chihiro murmured: "Little Bay, from a certain perspective, it's really scary..." Chapter 71 The Growing Team As the summer training camp approached, the horse girls returned to the academy one after another, and the academy temporarily regained its former vitality. "How do you feel about going out this time?" Mejiro Aldan tapped his lips and said, "Although it feels good overall, I always feel like something is missing. It would be more complete if I could play with a trainer." Sakura Chiyo also nodded, "It doesn't feel like the outing we had with classmates in junior high school... and we still have too little experience. Fortunately, we have Captain Lola here, so we won't make any mistakes." Traveling is something that varies from person to person. Maybe you think that climbing a mountain to see the scenery is a very pleasant thing, but others may think it is a time-consuming, laborious and thankless task. And it will also be affected by factors such as weather and mood, resulting in some other changes... So Chihiro Higashino was not surprised that they were surprised to find that they were just not doing well. "Xiaoli, what about you? Aren't there a lot of special snacks there? How do you feel about the new glory?" Oguruma swallowed the bread in his mouth, looked at Mejiro Aldan with some resentment, then turned to look at Higashino Chihiro, "It is said that there are many special snacks, but I have already tasted most of them in Tokyo... The few special snacks that I haven't tried are not open during this period." "But eating in the mountains is a good experience. I feel like I can hold more food in my stomach." Beautiful Posture's view on this trip was different from theirs. She thought it was a great experience... Not only did I experience a picnic, but I also experienced mountain climbing, camping and other things that I had never experienced before. She has been in an excited state during this period. After a brief understanding, Higashino Chihiro looked at Maruzenski and asked with some concern: "Maruzen, are you feeling okay now?" When Higashino Chihiro went to the airport to pick up Maruzenski last night, he was shocked to see her looking distraught. He had never seen Maruzenski like that before. It is hard to imagine what happened to make Maruzenski, who always has a smiling face and is a gentle older sister, be devastated like this. After returning to the academy, I couldn't help asking and found out that it was a few days ago... A very serious accident occurred in the car race that Maruzenski was watching... One of her favorite racers overturned and was seriously injured in the accident. Maruzenski had been following the subsequent reports until she boarded the plane, when she received any news about the racing driver. He was pronounced dead due to severe injuries and failed rescue efforts.

This news made Maruzenski feel a little sad. It was her first time to watch a car race in person and cheer for her favorite driver, but she didn't expect it would be her last time. "Don't worry, trainer. I've adjusted myself." Maruzenski smiled and gave Higashino Chihiro two thumbs up, "Racing competitions are dangerous and accidents are common in racing competitions... so this is not something that is particularly difficult to accept." "Although I still feel a little sorry for his departure, it will not affect my subsequent training." Seeing that Maruzenski didn't seem to be pretending, Higashino Chihiro felt relieved. At this moment, Tamamo Cross poked his head out and said, "The curry is ready, we can start eating." After bringing all the food to the table, Higashino Chihiro looked at the full seats and couldn't help but smile, "When our team has new members, you won't be able to eat here anymore. There won't be enough seats."
