Just when Higashino Chihiro breathed a sigh of relief, a wailing sound came from the office next door. Higashino Chihiro continued to look at her phone with interest, and saw that other trainers had signed up first, including 2200,2400, , etc. When Okino Koji's name was written by senior Tojo Hana on the 3200-meter grass race, forgive him for actually laughing. Tamamo Cross looked at Higashino Chihiro in confusion and asked, "It's only 3200 meters, and you're not competing with Uma Musume. There's no need to be so miserable, right? It's just a matter of running a little longer." Higashino Chihiro showed them the competition requirements and said, "If it's just a simple run of one or two kilometers, it's fine. It's okay if you're a little tired... The problem is that the dean wants us trainers to experience firsthand how horse girls perform on the field... So when we run, we have to wear special shoes with horseshoes nailed on them." Higashino Chihiro looked like she had lost all hope in life and continued, "I think it would be difficult for even Kuronuma-senpai to finish the race with horseshoes." Although he does some simple exercise every day, Higashino Chihiro is very clear... His physical strength was not enough to support him to run several thousand meters of grass with such heavy horseshoes. Now running 2000 meters would be enough to make him tired. When they heard Chihiro Higashino say that she wanted to bring horseshoes to participate, the horse ladies finally understood what was going on. They said, well, it's only 3200 meters at most, and it's not like Long Guo who likes ultra-long distance competitions, so why would they resist like this? I wouldn’t say I’m resisting it, but after running I feel so tired that I feel really uncomfortable…

If you can make yourself feel better then of course you should make yourself feel better. "Then trainer, when will your competition be held? Does it overlap with any other event?" Sakura Chiyo opened her big, shining eyes and looked at Higashino Chihiro. If there are events that overlap with Higashino Chihiro's competition time... She would definitely exclude this competition from her options at the first opportunity. "Probably not. According to the message sent by Tojo-senpai, the trainer competition is scheduled for the afternoon of the last day. By that time, your Uma Musume competition will almost be over." "If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about. We'll definitely come and cheer on the trainer when the time comes!" Chihiro Higashino waved his hands. He didn't care much about winning the race. There was no reward for coming in first. If he wasn't worried that he would be severely criticized by the chairman along the way and the horse girls in the team would feel embarrassed, he really wanted to give up. But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. It only happens once a year at most, so it won’t be a big deal to run there. "Alright, alright, stop paying attention to my race... If you guys have time and want to come and watch, just come and meet me at the finish line. I'm sure I'll be exhausted." 694936135 "As for now, you should quickly figure out what events you want to sign up for in the next two days. I'm going to go next door to see what kind of expression Okino-senpai has now." From the wailing just now, we can tell that Okino Koji's expression must be very interesting... So Higashino Chihiro is already a little impatient. After seeing the look of despair on Senior Okino's face, her mood will probably get better! This is the truth behind the saying that one's own happiness is built on the suffering of others. Thinking of this, Higashino Chihiro excitedly opened the door and walked out. Seeing Chihiro Higashino leave, the horse girls continued their previous topic and discussed what competition they would participate in next. Chapter 161 Camping The summer event will be held for a total of three days according to the plan. The protagonists for the first two and a half days are all horse girls...

The protagonist of the last half day is the trainer who is supposed to be active behind the scenes, giving advice and training guidance to the horse girls. Although Tresen College will open its doors and invite some people to watch this event, it does not invite a large number of fans to visit like the winter appreciation party. It is just an event held within the college. According to the chairman's idea, we should do this for a few years until we have enough experience... Then invite fans to watch or even participate in this event. The first day is the preliminaries of various competitions within the college. Today is the first day, and Higashino Chihiro can say that nothing happened. The horse girls in the team have all gone to participate in the competition, and he has not been forced to be a referee... So now he is completely relaxed and wandering around the academy. Before I knew it, I had walked into the swimming pool. I have to say, there seemed to be a lot of trainers in the swimming pool today. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but it seemed that most of the trainers here were male trainers. Most of the horse racing girls in the swimming pool at this time are those who have signed up for the swimming competition. A very small number of them are those who have no competition and just come here to join in the fun. Chihiro Higashino came here originally to watch the match between Altan Mejiro, Oguruma, and Daishin Narita, but there were more than a hundred million people here, and there was not much space next to the swimming pool, so Chihiro Higashino just took a look and left. After walking around the college for a while, Higashino Chihiro felt bored and returned to the office. At this time, Okino Mitsuji, Minamisaka Kuronuma and others were also in the office... It seemed that they also felt that this event was not of much significance. "Ah wu..." Okino Mitsuji yawned, looked at Higashino Chihiro and the others listlessly, and said, "You guys also think it's boring, right? How about we just go out and play in the afternoon... Anyway, our game is the day after tomorrow afternoon, and we don't have to train during this time, so why don't we go out and play?" Without waiting for a reply from the others, Okino Mitsuji turned his gaze towards Minamisaka, "Minamisaka, you have been too busy recently. You have dark circles under your eyes. You need to pay attention to your health... It's a good opportunity for you to go out with us these two days to relax and adjust your mind, so that you can have more energy to make plans for Uma Musume, what do you think?" Nanban scratched his head and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement. He also felt a little tired these days... But when I think about the situation of Uma Musume in the team, I can't let go and have to continue staying up late. Now that I have some time to rest, I should make good use of it. No matter what, your body is your own. If you ruin it, you'll be the one who gets hurt. Don't end up with nothing. After thinking about it, Kuronuma finally shook his head and rejected Okino Mitsuji's proposal. For him, it would be better to spend this time with his family... Because of work, he usually lives in the college and can only go home once a week on weekends. He thinks he has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and father... Therefore, he hopes to spend more time with his family during this holiday to reduce the guilt in his heart. "Alas, this is the trouble after starting a family." Okino Mitsuji shook his head. He was not surprised that Kuronuma rejected his proposal, but he still felt it was a pity. Higashino Chihiro said, "This is also the sense of responsibility that a man should have. I agree that Kuronuma-senpai should go home and spend more time with his family." "What about you, Dongye? You won't refuse, right?" Higashino Chihiro nodded. He really had nothing to do and he felt it was quite boring to watch their competitions in the academy. It would be ok to watch the final, but the elimination rounds at the beginning were really nothing interesting. Among all the sports, the running of the horse girls attracted his attention the most. "But senior." Higashino Chihiro looked at Okino Mitsuji with a suspicious look on her face: "Where are you planning to go for fun? Not to the izakaya again, right?"

"Go away, even though I like drinking, I'm not addicted to it and I'm thinking about drinking all the time." Koji Okino rolled his eyes, took out his phone, clicked on it, found a picture and handed it to Chihiro Higashino. "Where is this? The scenery is great! Are we going to travel here?" Looking at the beautiful sunset in the picture, Higashino Chihiro was a little surprised. He seemed to have never experienced the feeling of watching the sunset on the mountain. He handed the phone to Minamisaka, and he also exclaimed. "The scenery is pretty nice, isn't it? It's usually very difficult for us to see the sunset on the mountain." Okino Mitsuji took off the wrapper of a lollipop, put it in his mouth, and said, "So I was thinking, how about we go camping in the mountains for the next two days?" This idea came into my mind This has been going on for a while. More than a decade ago when he was still in school, he dreamed of going camping on the mountain with his good friends one day, waking up before dawn and watching the sun rise up slowly from the other corner of the city. But later on, in order to pass the exam to become a central trainer, to recruit horse girls, and to help the horse girls achieve good results, I never had enough time to go. Last year was a very good opportunity, but the good friends who were originally around me have now gone their separate ways for their future careers, and it is difficult to get together again. This is a good opportunity. He wants to go camping on the mountain with Higashino and Minamisaka to fulfill a small dream that he had not fulfilled when he was young. "camping……" Nansaka returned the phone to Okino Mitsuji and said, "I have no problem with this at all. Although I have never camped before, I have thought about this before... If Touye doesn't object, why not go camping on this mountain?" "I don't have any problem on my end either." Perhaps some people think that listening to the chirping of birds and the rustling of insects crawling through leaves and branches is noisy... But he happened to be the kind of person who enjoyed this kind of sound very much. This sound made him feel that he was integrated into nature and his tense spirit relaxed unconsciously. In the past, when I got up at five o'clock to read at home, when I felt bored, I would open the window, close my eyes and listen to the sounds of nature for a while. My restless heart would calm down and my learning efficiency would greatly improve. "In that case, it's decided. Let's go buy some equipment now! And then we'll set off right away!" Chapter 162 Sunset After making up their minds, they set off. Higashino Chihiro and a few others quickly left the academy and went to the shopping mall near the academy to buy some necessities. "We definitely need to bring a tent. Let's buy a bigger one. The three of us will just squeeze in together. We don't have many opportunities to go camping, so it would be a waste to buy too much." While planning what they needed to buy, Nanban said, "Then there are things like pots. Should we buy a small pot and some ingredients to bring up, or should we just bring some dry food?" According to their plan, they would set out this afternoon and arrive in the evening if nothing went wrong. Even if it was a little late, they could still reach the peak before sunset...it wouldn't matter if they were too tired to fall asleep and missed the sunset. Their plan for the second day was to stay on the mountain until they could see the sunset on the third day, then return down the mountain to catch the trainers' competition on the final afternoon. "You'd better bring it up and cook it yourself. It's not good to spend the whole day eating snacks." Picnics are allowed on the mountain they went to, so bringing some food up is a very good choice, but you also have to be careful to prevent forest fires. "That's fine." Okino Mitsuji patted Higashino Chihiro's shoulder, then walked over to Minamisaka and said, "Then I'll leave the purchase of ingredients and seasonings to you, Higashino. You can decide how much to buy. Minamisaka and I will buy other supplies, and we'll also buy some other cooked food and cup noodles just in case." After making the arrangements, the three of them parted ways at the mall entrance and agreed to meet next to Okino Mitsuji's van an hour later.

"If it's easy to carry, then noodles will be the staple food for the next two days. Rice won't be cooked through in the mountains. You should also bring some seasonings. Keep it simple, it doesn't need to be too complicated." None of the three of them are picky eaters. When they were busy in the past, there were times when they had to eat instant noodles for all three meals a day... So they are not too particular. As long as the taste is not bad and they are edible, it's fine. After shopping around the mall, Chihiro Higashino bought everything she needed. After returning to the agreed location and waiting for a while, Minamisaka and Okino Mitsuji also came back with the things, and then drove towards the destination. When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the three of them packed up all the things they had just bought into their backpacks, and went up the mountain with full of expectations. Because today is a weekday, there are not many tourists who come here for the same purpose as Chihiro Higashino and the other three to climb the mountain and camp to watch the sunset. There are only a handful of them... But it's a good thing this way. If there were too many people, the atmosphere would be completely different. If possible, the three of them would actually prefer to be the only three of them on the mountain and not be disturbed by others. "Take a break." The three of them sat down on the side of the road, panting. They were exhausted after carrying such heavy bags and walking up the mountain road for more than an hour. "If we didn't bring these things, we would probably be able to reach the summit before 8pm... But given the current situation, I think it would be great if we could arrive before midnight." Fortunately, there are lights on this section of the road, so they don’t have to worry about not being able to see the road too late. Chihiro Higashino opened her backpack and took out a few bottles of "Higashino Special Drink " she had prepared and handed them to Minamisaka and Okino Mitsuji. "Ahem! What is this? Why is it so unpalatable?" Mitsuji Okino held the drink handed to him by Chihiro Tono in his hand, and his face was wrinkled like a chrysanthemum. “The taste is really not good.” Nanban also frowned. This taste was similar to the taste of the market experiments provided by the beverage companies that he had bought from the vending machines before. They are almost the same. It cannot be said to be unpalatable, but the taste is weird. Most people will definitely not like it or accept it. "This is already version ." Higashino Chihiro frowned as she swallowed the drink and said helplessly, "The taste at the beginning will make you want to spit it out the moment you put it in your mouth." "However, this drink is much better for us to replenish water after intense exercise than drinking water directly or other drinks on the market. It can also prevent heat stroke." Ever since the last version of "Higashino Special Drink " was disliked by Tamamo Cross and the others, Higashino Chihiro has tried to modify it many times...but no matter how he adjusted it, the taste has always been poor. Higashino Chihiro wouldn't be surprised at this. He could easily make this functional drink taste good... Then those beverage companies that specialize in this field can consider hiring him as a technical instructor. After walking and stopping along the way, the three finally reached the top of the mountain in the early morning. Sitting back to back on the ground, the three of them no longer had the strength to even set up the tent... Fortunately, I ate some fried chicken and chocolate I bought for lunch on the way up the mountain, so I'm not too hungry now. After resting on the ground for a while, the three of them got up and began to clean up the surrounding terrain and prepare to set up the tent. "Go to bed. Forget about the alarm in the morning. I don't think we can wake up." They are so tired tonight that they will definitely sleep very deeply. Even with the alarm clock, they may not be able to open their eyes. So they might as well turn off the alarm clock, get more rest and prepare for tomorrow.

Okino Mitsuji and Minamisaka both nodded in agreement. Their upper and lower eyelids were already beginning to fight each other. They took out their sleeping bags from their backpacks, turned in, and soon fell asleep. Although Chihiro Higashino was very sleepy at this time, she still took the camera to the outside of the tent and took several photos. Then she returned to the tent yawning, took out her sleeping bag and went to sleep. "Drip drip!" The ringing and vibration sounds from the cell phone woke up Chihiro Higashino from her sleep. He opened his eyes, reached out to turn off the alarm on the cell phone next to him, then climbed out of his sleeping bag and pushed Koji Okino and Minamisaka next to him. "Get up. It's already half past four." After a quick wash, the three of them came to the best viewing spot, sat down next to the rocks, took out bread from their backpacks and waited for the sunset to come. After waiting for a long time, a ray of light slowly appeared from the other side of the mountain. The three stood up and watched the light gradually dispel the darkness covering the city.
