I remember last year, when he and Nanban occasionally talked about this topic, Nanban said it would be soon... But now it's the new year, and there's still no news. "It's this year. We will register for marriage on Valentine's Day. The wedding should be in July." As trainers, they don’t have much free time, and the most they have is in the first half of July… Therefore, it is very common in their circle of trainers to choose to hold the wedding in July, entrust the horse girls in the team to their friends to help look after their training for half a month, and then have a one-month honeymoon. "Then you must invite me to attend." "Don't worry, no matter who I forget, I won't forget you." As the horse girls who had spent the New Year outside returned to the academy one after another, the daily life of the academy gradually got back on track... The horse girls continued to train on the green grass for their dreams. This year, compared to last year, the Surpass team has one less cute horse girl with a smile on her face, and one more cyber horse girl sitting upright on a chair. "It should feel much better on the training ground than in the hospital, right?" Miura Bourbon glanced at the trainer standing next to him and nodded, "It's much better than being in the hospital and having to look up at the sky."

When I was in the hospital, although I still had a cell phone and could watch videos and the like, at that time, all I saw was news about my loss of the Triple Crown and my injury and hospitalization. The more I read, the worse I felt, so I might as well just look up at the sky. Now on the training ground, although he couldn't run on the grass as freely as they did... but even looking at them like this made Miura Bourbon feel much more comfortable. "Now just wait patiently. Once your leg injury is healed, you can return to the court." Although Uma Musume's golden years are short, only a few years, injuries can take away half a year or even a year of her time...but considering Uma Musume's chance of getting injured, it is relatively normal. There are still some horse girls in the academy who have been hospitalized several times. Chihiro Higashino saw that Bourbon Miura was not in high spirits and did not say anything. Instead, she looked at the horse girls who were training on the pasture. He also wanted Miura Bourbon to get better quickly, but this was obviously unrealistic. A broken bone takes a hundred days to heal, and it can only be healed slowly over time. There is currently no quick way. After the first round of training, Chihiro Higashino asked all the horse girls to come down and take a break, catch their breath, and also let them chat with Bourbon Miura. Now that they are all horse girls in the same team, he also hopes that everyone's relationship can become closer. "Are you going to let only Flying Grass play in this year's Classic? Isn't Manchester City Tea House also suitable for participating in the Classic?" During the break, Okino Mitsuji came over from a distance. Their team was also taking a break... So they all rushed to Higashino Chihiro, and Higashino Chihiro was not surprised by this. "Chazuo will go to Longguo for treatment in a while. I have discussed this with her before, and we have decided to give up Gaoyue Sho and the Japanese Derby." The reason is that Manchester City Tea House is not particularly good at mid-distance competitions, and he has some minor problems... In the end, the two decided to first fix all the minor ailments in their bodies, and then compete in the last of the three crowns, the Chrysanthemum Award, in the most perfect condition. "If anyone wins the Undefeated Second Crown, then be careful not to be broken by the horse girl in my team again at the Chrysanthemum Contest." "You really have confidence in her..." "As her trainer, I know her quite well, so I do have some confidence..." Higashino Chihiro is very confident about Manchester City Tea House's performance over long distances... Chapter 54: Past and Future

"Have you decided yet?" Higashino Chihiro looked at Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyoou and sighed softly. "Yes, because the time for the authentic training is about to end, and my parents are against me continuing to participate in the competition when it is almost over. They are worried that it will be difficult to recover if something goes wrong... So I finally decided to end it with a competition in early February." Looking at his trainer, Mejiro Aldan smiled slightly. Although some people are definitely reluctant to leave the stadium... But this is something that every horse racing girl must go through. Compared to those horse racing girls who cannot make their debut and cannot show their brilliance on the field, I am already very lucky and there is no need to covet more. "It's the same situation for me. Before the end of the real character, there was no match suitable for me to have a perfect curtain call... So choosing a G2 game to end my game career is the best ending I can think of." Higashino Chihiro could only smile helplessly. What else could he do? When the time is right, it is normal to retire... All the horse girls of Mejiro Ardan's generation have announced their retirement one after another, and they will naturally be no exception. "So are you planning to retire together in one game, or separately?" Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyoou looked at each other, and they were also a little conflicted at this time. As good friends who have known each other since the beginning of the school year, they have always had a relationship of competing with each other and making progress together. Both of them want to have the final match together in the retirement battle. But precisely because it is a retirement battle, everyone definitely wants to win... but there can only be one winner, and if he wins, the other person's retirement will not be so perfect. "If that's the case, then let's separate." Higashino Chihiro found the already published February competition schedule on the computer and pointed to the column for February 5th and said: "The competition on this day happens to be two 2000-meter races on grass, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I think it's just right for the two of you to have a retirement match." Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyoou looked at each other and nodded in agreement. This was indeed a better choice. "Then notify me and release it in the next few days." "Thank you, Torenasan." Waving his hands, Higashino Chihiro said: "What's the trouble? It's just an announcement on the official account. You just need to prepare for your retirement battle." After Aldan and Chiyo left, Higashino Chihiro couldn't help but sigh again. This meant that all the senior horse girls in her team had announced their retirement. Next year, it should be Tamamo Cross and the other three, and the year after that, it would be Daishin... Every year, there are outstanding horse racing girls on the racetrack, and every year, there are horse racing girls who leave the racetrack forever. However, there are very few horse racing girls who can be remembered by people for a long time. The vast majority of horse girls are just a flash in the pan, or even don't even have a flash in the pan before disappearing from people's sight and being forgotten by everyone. Only the competition records kept by the Horse Racing Association, which are basically never read, will keep their names. A small number of horse girls will leave their names widely known during the era in which they are active, and then gradually fade out of the fans' sight after retiring, leaving only their reputations in the Racing Horse Association, and in the memories of horse girls and trainers. Higashino Chihiro wondered if the horse racing girls in her team could keep their names in everyone's mind for a long time... But he knew that he would never forget any of the horse girls who had left his team... whether they were present or future. Putting aside the retirement announcements of Mejiro Altan and Sakura Chiyoou for now, Higashino Chihiro still needs to first... The preliminary designation of the competition plan and training program for January, February and March this year has been completed.

Among all these competitions, the one that Chihiro Higashino cares about the most is Kusanagi Tobi's Yayoi Sho... because it is related to the Gaoyue Sho that she wants to participate in later. Due to distance adaptability, there is no Chrysanthemum Viewing event in Caoshangfei's classic competition plan, and she herself does not care whether she can participate in the Chrysanthemum Viewing. To be honest, if Kusanagi Fei strongly expressed her desire to participate in the Chrysanthemum Viewing, Higashino Chihiro would not refuse. She would just treat it as a chance to experience a long-distance race firsthand, and also prepare for the Arima Kinen event later. "Torena-san, will Xiao Te also participate in the Yayoi Awards?" After the afternoon training, Kusagami Fei glanced at Te Bie Zhou who was leaving the training ground with Wusheng Suzuka, and trotted over to Higashino Chihiro and asked. "It's like this. As for the Yayoi Awards, apart from the Condor, there is no news. Special Zhou, Nebula Sky, and Holy King Glory will all participate... These three horse girls are also the three horse girls you need to pay attention to during the competition." The reason for this special week is that Higashino Chihiro believes that a horse girl that is valued and highly expected by Okino Koji will not be weak, and given the strength she has shown in previous competitions, she is indeed worthy of more attention. Then there is Nebula Sky. As a horse girl with great potential who has been valued by many trainers since she entered school, her performance has always been very good. She is an object that needs to be paid attention to in this year's Yayoi Sho... and the subsequent Classic Triple Crown. Finally, the Holy King's Glory, her excellent bloodline made many trainers in the academy who believed in the theory of bloodline pay great attention to this horse girl... Although she lost the shortwave competition last year by two moves, this did not reduce the trainers' regard for her. Regarding matters such as bloodline, Chihiro Higashino has always maintained an ambiguous attitude. You may say you don't believe it at all, but the data over a long period of time has proven it. Just like the horse girls of the Mejiro family, they are all top-notch horse girls. Mejiro... Takamine, Mejiro Mitsukoshi, Mejiro Aldan...are all excellent horse girls. The same is true for Qi Cao, who was crowned the Queen before her debut, and finally won the Oak Competition and won the title of Oak Queen. "I understand, trainer. I will train hard and will not fall behind. Winning the Yayoi Award is the first step towards the top. I will not lose." Looking at Cao Shangfei who was full of fighting spirit, Higashino Chihiro also smiled. Whether it is Special Zhou, Nebula Sky or Holy King Glory, in Higashino Chihiro's opinion, they are still a little short of defeating Cao Shangfei. The only one among his peers who makes Higashino Chihiro highly alert is the Divine Eagle who, like Xiaocao, came back from the United States. Chapter 55: Idols and Goals After the news of Mejiro Aldan and Sakura Chiyo's retirement was released, it also attracted a lot of discussion from fans. However, what everyone discussed the most was that all the horse girls in Mejiro Ardan's class were leaving the arena one after another. The fans are reluctant but helpless because this is the sport of horse racing and the career of a horse racing girl is so short. Whether the horse can shine in this short period of time depends on the efforts of the horse girl herself and the coaching level of the trainer. Because of the experience of Maruzenski's retirement, Chihiro Higashino is familiar with the process of handling the retirement of Aldan and Chiyooh, and it is not too complicated. Moreover, with the retirement of Aldan and Chiyo, the number of his team will return to the ideal number he had previously envisioned, and the workload will be reduced a lot compared to before. However, Chihiro Higashino is not sure whether she will recruit new horse girls to join the team this year... If she meets an outstanding horse girl, she will probably not be able to resist recruiting her into her team. "Except for the horsegirls who are preparing to enter Tresen from other schools, the horsegirls who have received the most attention this year are... the Emperor of the East Sea and the Heavy Artillery, right?" After browsing on the computer for a while, Chihiro Higashino still focused her attention on these two horse racing girls.

"Huh? Has the Heavy Artillery joined Team Rigil? Why haven't I heard about it before?" Then Higashino Chihiro clicked on the basic information of the Emperor of the East China Sea, which showed that he had not joined the team yet. "Rudolf still hasn't allowed the East Sea Emperor to join the Rigil team... But this little guy must be making a fuss at Tojo Senior's place now..." Higashino Chihiro's idea was not bad. After returning to the dormitory at noon... The Emperor of the East China Sea was lying on his bed, watching the game video of Rudolph that he had saved, when he saw the heavy artillery jumping back to the dormitory. "Why are you so happy today? Did something good happen?" “Hehe…” Heavy Artillery stood still with his hands on his hips, posing, “Today, the trainer of the Rigil team came to invite me to join the Rigil team. I am now a member of the Rigil team!” "Oh, it's Team Rigil, Kyo..." The smiling Emperor of the East Sea suddenly jumped up from the bed and looked at the heavy artillery in horror. "You just said that you joined the Rigil team?" "Yes." Chongpao kicked off his shoes, sat on the bed, and looked at the Emperor of the East Sea. "Emperor, haven't you always wanted to join the Rigil team? I remember you said before that the trainer had always rejected you because the team was full, right?" "There are a number of seniors who are retiring now. Why don't you try to find a trainer? I think..." Before Heavy Artillery could finish his words, the Emperor of the East China Sea had already put on his shoes and ran out of the dormitory. "Hey, maybe they are taking a lunch break now..." Seeing that he couldn't stop the Emperor of the East China Sea, he ignored the heavy artillery, tidied himself up and lay down on the bed. He should have a good sleep. When he woke up, he would know the result. On this side, the Emperor of the East Sea went to the Rigil team's office, and when he didn't see Trainer Tojo, he immediately turned around and ran to the Student Union. At this time in the student union, Rudolph, Maruzenski and Qicao were discussing some of the work of the student union this year and some matters related to the college. "President!" Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first. The three people who were discussing stopped, and Maruzenski and Chizou both looked towards the Rudolph symbol. "President!" The Emperor of the East Sea pushed open the door of the Student Union and pounced on the sofa next to the symbol of Rudolph. "Emperor, what's wrong?" "President, are you going to recruit new members for your team now? I heard from Heavy Artillery at noon that she was invited by Trainer Tojo to join the Rigil team. Look, can I join the Rigil team now?" Seeing the expectant look in the eyes of the East Sea Emperor, Rudolph smiled slightly and said, "I'm not too sure about this. As the president of the Student Union of Tresen College, I'm usually very busy. In addition, I've already retired from the team... So I'm not very familiar with some of the decisions within the team." Rudolph was right about this. She has now entered the university department. Usually, she only trains with the juniors in the team when she has no classes in the afternoon. The intensity of the training is not as high as when she was in service. Occasionally, she will accompany the juniors for parallel training... It's already the limit. "But if you want to join the Rigil team, you still have to ask the trainer. Even if you come to me, I can't let you join the Rigil team directly."

"I will definitely convince Trainer Tojo to let me join Team Rigil today!" Rudolph smiled and patted her head. "We still have to discuss the student union's affairs here. Do you want to stay here or go to the dormitory to sleep first?" "Well...I better go back and rest first." If it were usual, the Emperor of the East Sea would definitely choose to stay in the student union to accompany Rudolph as a symbol... But today is different. Her goal today is to join the Rigil team. She will most likely have to show her strength in the afternoon, so a lunch break is necessary. After the East Sea Emperor left, Maruzenski looked at the Rudolph symbol jokingly, "Are you not going to let the Emperor join the Rigil team now?" Rudolf shook his head symbolically. "The Rigil team is good, but I'm afraid that Emperor will be restricted if he joins this team. She should be able to go further in the future."
