“Mejiro Aldan is still accelerating, surpassing the Christmas Miracle, surpassing the Moon Burst and coming to the number one position. Can she keep it up? Will we be able to see the backbone of the Mejiro family’s horse girl!”

The white figure attracted the attention of everyone present and the commentator, and countless eyes were focused on her.

“Mejiro Aldan, half a body length! There are still a hundred meters to go. Is there still a chance for the moon explosion behind? No chance! The gap is widening. GOALING!”

The commentator looked at the real-time information transmitted by the tablet in his hand and said excitedly: “The horse girl who won the Oaks Tournament this time is Aldan Mejiro from the Mejiro family of the Surpass team! The second move is…”

“Won!”

The audience cheered excitedly. They felt sorry for a long time because Mejiro Aldan lost the last Sakura Tournament by one move. Now he won the game quickly and neatly in the Oaks Tournament. As fans, they are very happy.

Chihiro Higashino looked at Aldan Mejiro, and although she was very excited that she could win the Oaks Championship, she also felt a little regretful.

Mejiro Aldan’s previous state was very similar to Maruzenski’s last time… but it still felt a little bit off. He should have just touched the threshold… but hadn’t completely stepped in. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh.

“Stop sighing, Torenasan.”

Maruzenski patted Higashino Chihiro on the shoulder and said, “Don’t let Aldan see this. She won the game, so we should congratulate her.”

“I understand, but it’s a pity that Aldan Mejiro is just a little bit away from reaching your level.”

Higashino Chihiro patted her face and smiled again, “Well, since I have already touched this level, I think it’s only a matter of time before I can step into it completely.”

Chapter 151: Oak Competition (Part 3)

“Torena-san!”

After the game, when he returned to the player channel, Mejiro Aldan saw Chihiro Higashino who had been waiting for a long time, and he ran to his side and hugged him directly, “I won, Torena.”

“congratulations.”

Patting Aldan Mejiro’s back gently, Higashino Chihiro said, “You performed very well in this game. Whether it was the early stage of grabbing a favorable position or the acceleration and overtaking at the end of the game, it was very impressive.”

“You have already made your present self shine throughout the arena. Your name has been engraved in history.”

Mejiro Aldan broke away from his embrace, smiled and nodded, “Yeah!”

“It’s not just me, it’s the same for the trainers. Our ‘now’ is blooming and bearing fruit at this moment.”

Why does this sentence feel a little weird?

Is it because I’m wearing yellow glasses?

“Thank you, Aldan.”

“I want to thank you as well, Torena-san.” Mebai Aldan smiled, then remembered what happened before and said, “Torena, I had a wonderful experience during the competition before.”

“As the finish line approached, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in silence, and unknown feelings gushed out from my heart. During this process, there were only the shouts of my trainers and teammates, and the sound of my own heartbeat.”

“Then I was attracted by the rhythm, as if I saw a big door, but unfortunately…”

“It’s a pity that you didn’t get to step into it, right?” Higashino Chihiro touched Aldan Mejiro’s little head and said, “This state is called the realm by trainers and those top horse racing girls. The state that Maruzenski was in at the Gaoyue Sho was the realm.”

“You should have touched the threshold of the domain now, which is already very good… But if you want to completely step into the realm of the domain, you need to be more serious in the subsequent training.”

Mejiro Aldan nodded, not quite understanding, “Has Maruzen entered that realm now?”

“Yes, but she can’t use it freely yet. She didn’t get into that state in the last Japanese derby. I have been training her in this area during this period…

But because I had only heard of this kind of situation before, and there were no books that described this aspect, so in this regard…

The training is mainly guided by Senior Okino.”

Mejiro Aldan set a small goal in his mind, and he must enter that state.

“Don’t think too much about it for now. Thinking too much about these things will only make you go further and further away from that realm. The most important thing is to let nature take its course. Now that you have touched the threshold, it won’t be difficult to step in.”

“Yes, Torena-san!”

After the exciting May, they can relax for a long time. At least they don’t have to be as nervous as before.

And because of the outstanding performances of Altan Mejiro and Maruzenski in the previous competitions, Chihiro Higashino was successfully promoted to senior trainer in the Racing Horse Association.

He skipped the core trainer position and jumped directly to the senior trainer position, which is very rare in the history of trainers…

Chihiro Higashino is the only person in the current record who has been employed for just over a year.

However, this level upgrade is of no use, except that you can make yourself sound more impressive when you go out and get a little more salary from the Horse Racing Association and the academy…

But compared to the prize money that the horse girls win in big-ticket races, this salary is just a drop in the bucket.

“Chiyo-sama, have you received any notification from Harunouchi-senpai?”

“Got it. Can I go with the trainer tomorrow?”

Sakura Chiyo, who had just finished training, nodded. Harunouchi Ryoka called her yesterday and said that her wedding in her hometown was over…

However, she and her husband agreed that they should host a banquet for their relatives and friends who were in Tokyo and could not come to their hometown to attend the wedding.

Hence this invitation.

Originally, Harunouchi Ryoka wanted to invite the entire Surpass team…

But considering that the other trainers themselves did not invite them to bring their entire teams…so they only invited Chihiro Higashino and Sakura Chiyo who was originally in her team.

“Of course, but I’m going with Okino-senpai and Rokuhei-senpai… If you don’t mind, then it’s no problem.”

Sakura Chiyo said that she didn’t mind. Although she had not been in Higashino Chihiro’s team for a long time, she could still often see Okino Koji and Rokuhei Ginjiro running over. Although she rarely saw trainers Kuronuma and Minamisaka… they had communicated with each other, so she didn’t feel strange.

“Um, trainer, do I need to wear a formal dress to participate?”

Sakura Chiyo remembers that when she was young, her parents took her to attend other people’s weddings, and she wore more formal clothes…

But I only have some casual clothes and school uniforms in school…or my final suit. I can’t wear the final suit to participate, right?

“Just be casual. Wear your usual casual clothes. This isn’t a wedding. It’s just a gathering among friends. No one will dress too formally. If you go in a dress, you’ll look out of place.”

“Of course, don’t dress too casually.”

However, Sakura Chiyo’s words reminded me that I haven’t bought a suit yet. If I have time, I can buy one…

Although I don’t wear it very often, there will always be a time when I need it in the future, and it would not be good to rush to wear it when the time comes.

But then again, why haven’t I bought a suit in all the time I’ve been in Tokyo?

It seemed that I didn’t buy it because I didn’t need to attend the job fair, and I completely forgot to wear a suit at the press conference afterwards… But there was no hard requirement to wear one, and no one said anything about me because of this.

“Are you going to attend a party?” asked Tamamo Cross.

“Hmm…” Higashino Chihiro took a towel from the side and rubbed Tamamo Cross’s hair vigorously. This guy always wiped it twice and was done with it. “After Haruchi-senpai got married, she and her husband thought they should invite their friends to a party, so they invited Chiyo and me to attend.”

“Are you married already? So fast!”

Higashino Chihiro smiled and said, “Fast? In the eyes of Haruchi-senpai’s parents, it might be considered slow.”

Chapter 152 Major Events in Life

“Haruchi-senpai, this is my wedding gift to you.”

At noon the next day, Chihiro Higashino, Mitsuru Okino and their group brought Sakura Chiyo to the hotel booked by Harunouchi Ryoka and placed their gifts among the pile of gifts nearby.

“You really are, one by one. We agreed that this is just a gathering among friends, and you all brought gifts. Also, don’t call me Harunai from now on. You should call me Sakurai instead.”

Chihiro Higashino then greeted her husband who was standing next to Haruchi, no, Sakurai-senpai, and after getting to know each other, they walked in.

After Sakura Chiyo walked in, she separated from Higashino Chihiro and walked towards the location of her former team members…

Although she is no longer the team’s horse girl, the relationship between them is still very good and they often play together privately.

“Okino, now most of the trainers who entered the academy around the same time as you are are already married, when will you and Tojo get married?”

As soon as Okino Mitsuji sat down, before his butt even got warm, he heard old man Liuping saying to him…

Urging, his face couldn’t help but bitter, “Old man, is it because you are old that you like to worry about this kind of thing? I think it’s still early… and Ah Hua and I are not in the relationship you think, right?”

“Humph, you know whether it’s the kind of relationship I’m thinking of.”

Seeing that Tojo Hana had not arrived yet, Rokuhei Ginjiro continued, “You can wait, but others can’t. You can do it yourself.”

Chihiro Higashino was not very interested in their conversation, she just sat aside and chatted with Minamisaka.

After a long while, everyone arrived and the dishes were served on the table one after another… The Sakurai couple walked in from outside and after the standard social acquaintance, they walked out. After a while, Sakurai Ryoka walked in from outside and sat in her seat.

As for her husband, he sat on the other side, at the table with his friends.

“Marriage is really tiring.”

As soon as she sat down, Sakurai Ryoka started pouring out her grievances to her good friend Tojo Hanada, telling her about all the troubles of getting married. She was originally glad that she finally didn’t have to be nagged by her parents anymore, but the nagging changed from asking her to get married to when she should let them hold their grandchildren.

Listening to her complaints, many people at the table nodded involuntarily. Most of them got married because they were urged to do so by their parents. There were very few who found their partners and got together naturally.

The reason is probably the old problem of the trainer profession. If you want to pass the exam to become a central trainer, you have to spend a lot of effort and hard work, so there is no time to talk about love.

After finally passing the exam, they have to be busy forming their own team. After the team is formed, they have to formulate training plans for the horse girls. After finishing the whole set of work, they are usually in their thirties.

If you want to date at this time, most of those of similar age are already married…and the chances are that the remaining ones are with someone you are not satisfied with in every aspect.

Including but not limited to occupation, income, appearance, etc.

However, Higashino Chihiro once heard from her predecessors that appearance is what they care about most, and as long as the professional income is not too bad, it is generally acceptable, because people in their line of work will never be short of money.

Female trainers are relatively good in this respect, but it’s mainly male trainers… because they are in contact with young horse racing girls, and horse racing girls are generally good-looking. In such an environment, their vision is naturally improved a lot, and it becomes more difficult to find a partner.

As for why you don’t find a horse racing girl, please, they won’t get married during their career. By the time they graduate and retire from horse racing girls, you will be in your 40s or even 50s.

Of course, there are racehorse girls who fall in love with their trainers and get together after graduation, but most of them are in local areas, and there may not be one in ten years in the central government.

“Nanban, you should think about this kind of thing slowly now, right? How about going around on your days off and see if you can meet someone you like?”

“No, I know my limits.”

Nanban quickly waved his hands in response to Higashino Chihiro’s teasing. Although he was indeed a single man now, he didn’t think he would be like senior Okino Mitsuji. After all, he also had quite a few female friends.

“But Dongye, have you ever thought about what your future partner will be like?”

“My partner? To be honest, I haven’t really thought about it.”

Nansaka showed a sly smile on his face, approached Chihiro Higashino and said, “Why don’t you consider the horse girls in your current team? You are only a few years older than them, you can definitely consider being with them.”

“Go away, don’t make the relationship between me and them any more complicated.”

After the lunch party ended, Higashino Chihiro took Sakura Chiyo to stroll around the surrounding streets for a while, bought some things, and then returned to the academy.

After putting the things on the table, Higashino Chihiro threw herself on the bed. After bouncing up and down twice, she stared blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.

“Why think about these things? It’s still too early.”

Shaking her head, Chihiro Higashino got up, took out the ingredients she bought yesterday from the refrigerator, and started preparing today’s dinner.

“Boom boom boom! Trainer!”

Putting down the knife, Chihiro Higashino washed her hands and opened the door. As expected… except for Maruzenski who was out racing, everyone else came to her place for a free meal.

“You guys, isn’t the school cafeteria free? The food is delicious too, why do you always come to my place to eat for free?”

Ever since he invited Oguruma, Tamamo Cross and Shining Glory, who were staying in the academy and not going home, to come to the dormitory for a New Year’s dinner…

Oguruma and Tamamo Cross would come to her place for dinner almost every day off.

Later, Mejiro Aldan, Super Xiaohaiwan and Kazuya joined their team. Maruzenski would occasionally come with everyone. After joining their team, Sakura Chiyoou came to eat more frequently on weekends.

“Hehe, although the dishes cooked by the academy chef are delicious, Qianxun’s are not bad either. Besides, the academy basically doesn’t cook many dishes from Dragon Country, so we can only eat them at your place, Qianxun.”

Tamamo Cross walked into the room and turned on the TV quite skillfully…

Then he sat on the sofa and watched TV with Xiao Limao who was already eating snacks.

Mejiro Aldan, Super Little Bay and Brand New Glory walked into the kitchen to help Higashino Chihiro.

Sakura Chiyo, who originally wanted to help, saw so many people in the kitchen, so she picked up a rag and wiped the table.

“Really.”

Although she was complaining, Chihiro Higashino looked very happy. This warm environment made her feel very comfortable.

Chapter 153: Self-prepared competition

“You mean, you want to prepare for a mock competition yourself, is that what you mean?”

At noon that day, when Chihiro Higashino and Mitsuji Okino were sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch, they were approached by the Victory Ticket trio, who said they wanted to prepare for a mock match.

This is not an uncommon thing in the academy. If the horse racing girls do not plan to participate in the competition for a long period of time, in order to maintain the feeling of the competition, they will apply to their trainers for a mock race, and then the trainers will apply to the academy to borrow props and venues.

“If you want to prepare for the mock competition on your own, the academy requires you to find at least eight horse girls.”

Higashino Chihiro put down her chopsticks, looked at the three horse girls, and said, “That is to say, in addition to the three of you, you have to invite five horse girls to compete with you. Only then can Okino-senpai apply to the academy.”

At this point, Higashino Chihiro raised her own question, “But why do you insist on having a mock match?”
