"Um……" Maruzenski nodded. "She is a junior that Rudolph asked me to take care of before he left. She is a very energetic horse girl." "Rudolph symbol?" Chihiro Tono looked at the pony girl and suddenly realized, "I see, she is Rudolph Symbol's sister! No wonder they look so similar! But why didn't I know that Rudolph Symbol has a sister before? The trainers didn't seem to mention that she had a sister?" "Hey, Torena-san, you have good taste." Hearing Chihiro Higashino say that she is the sister of Rudolph's symbol, the pony girl's mood suddenly improved, "But unfortunately, I am not the president's sister, but the relationship between me and the president is closer than that of sisters!" "Not Rudolph's symbolic sister? Then you are..." "My name is the Emperor of the East Sea! When I debut, I will become the next Uma Musume who symbolizes Rudolph!" The little pony girl clenched her little fists and held them high, looking full of energy. "The Emperor of the East Sea... Oh, I remember now. When I went to Gifu, I didn't watch the Japanese derby with Rudolph as the symbol of the game. I watched it live... You seem to be the pony girl who appeared at the press conference later, right?"

"That's right, it's me, the Emperor of the East China Sea!" "The game is about to begin." When Higashino Chihiro was about to say something, the sudden noise from Narita Daishin at the side made him turn around immediately and stare at the field intently. At this time, the staff were pushing the horse gate to the designated location. The horse racing ladies around also stopped their warm-up, closed their eyes, took deep breaths, and made final adjustments to their status. "Xiaoli, this is our first duel. I got the first move, and I don't want you to be the second one." "Don't worry, Tamamo-chan, I will be the trainer to win this time!" Sparks seemed to fly when the two looked at each other, and finally they smiled and walked towards their own horse gates. "Tamamo Cross is at position 9, and Oguruma is at position 7. With the two of them in position, all the horse racing girls have successfully entered the gate!" As the gate opened, the eighteen horse racing ladies rushed out in unison and began to compete for their ideal positions. Before reaching the second turn, the horse racing ladies have roughly fixed their positions, and then until the fourth turn... generally speaking there will not be any major changes. Oguruma is now in the 11th place, and Tamamo Cross is in the th place, staring closely at Oguruma's figure in front of him. Although she said that she valued everyone in the competition, in Tamamo Cross's eyes, only Oguruma could be her rival in this Satsuki Sho... As for the other horse girls, she didn't really care about them. "After the second bend, the horses still maintained the same state as before. The leading horse girl was still very different, while Oguruma and Tamamo Cross were still following closely behind the horses." Although they are currently running in the front, the horse girls in the vanguard are aware that the final battle will be on the 200-meter slope after the fourth turn. And this 200-meter slope, according to their previous research with their trainers... Tamamo Cross and Oguruma, who are currently conserving their energy in the back and preparing to sprint, are both very good at it... If the key to victory is placed here, the trophy will undoubtedly be delivered directly to the hands of the two of them, so... "The race has entered the third bend, and the final moment of the showdown is about to come... The audience at the scene can no longer contain their excitement and stand up to cheer for the players they support!" "As soon as she entered the fourth bend, Tianrenyoubi started to accelerate! Does she want to leave behind Oguruma and Tamamo Cross behind her? Not only Tianrenyoubi, but all the horse racing girls in the front row chose to accelerate at the same time!"

"It's started, it's started!" "All the horse racing girls started to unleash their last kicks! Little Chestnut leaned down, and her powerful explosive power allowed her to quickly rush to fifth place at the end of the fourth turn!" "Wait, behind! Tamamo Cross is catching up from the outside! She's very fast, it seems like she's holding on to Oguruma tightly!" "The last 200 meters of the slope is ahead! Oguruma and Tamamo Cross have already caught up with Tianren Youbu!" At this time, Higashino Chihiro couldn't remain calm anymore. She held the guardrail tightly with both hands and looked at the two horse girls on the field... Chapter 33 Happy New Year! "Just kidding!" Tian Ren You Bie Hearing the rapid footsteps coming from my ears, my heart suddenly became flustered, and subconsciously wanted to speed up my pace... However, it is now the final stage of the race, how much energy does she have left? "How can it be repaired?" No matter what her mood was at the moment, it was a foregone conclusion that Oguruma and Tamamo Cross would surpass her. At this time, the distance between Ogururomo and Tamamo Cross was very close, only a head difference. "I'm sorry, Xiaoli, I won this match!" Tamamo Cross gritted his teeth and accelerated again, making up for the final head difference. Seeing this scene out of the corner of her eye, Oguruma was unwilling to admit defeat, so she lowered her body and sprinted forward. The two of them were like a meteor, crossing the last 100 meters together, but... "competition is over!" As the commentator's voice sounded, everyone woke up from this shocking chase, and cheers and shouts resounded through the sky. "The winner of this Gaoyue Sho is Tamamo Cross. Congratulations on her victory over her teammate Oguruma with a half-length advantage..." Tamamo Cross raised his head and saw the display screen showing that he had won first place, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. "Tamamo, congratulations." Oguruma wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to Tamamo Cross and extended his hand. "You've got it this time, but I won't lose the next Japanese derby." "Hum..." Tamamo Cross held the hand of her best friend and rival, and looked at Oguruma with a sharp gaze, "The next winner of the Japan Derby will definitely be me! My goal is to win the three championships undefeated and become the number one horse girl in Japan." "Then next time, let your dream be shattered." The two smiled at each other and agreed to once again decide the winner in the Japan Derby. Chihiro Higashino looked at the results on the big screen and she couldn't describe how excited she felt. She was very concerned about everything. If one horse girl won, it also meant that a horse girl in her team lost. With this increase and decrease, I’m actually not that happy.

When we arrived at the contestant channel, Oguruma and Tamamo Cross were already waiting there. "You performed very well today, Oguri. Although you lost today's game, I hope you won't be discouraged. There is still a Japanese derby to come. The same goes for Tamamo. There is still one to come. Keep working hard." There is no need for Higashino Chihiro to say anything extra. Oguruma is not the kind of horse girl who will get discouraged if she loses... Instead, they will become stronger and stronger, just like before in the academy, Tamamo Cross and Oguruma had actually competed many times. Lose more and win less. The gap between the two of them is getting shorter and shorter. From the beginning, Tamamo was leading by more than five horse lengths, but now the gap is very small. Who will win actually depends on who is in better condition. "Go change it Let's buy some clothes. We are going to hold a press conference later and Xiaoli will come with us." "clear." Tamamo Cross and Oguruma walked into the lounge to change clothes. At this time, Higashino Chihiro's cell phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from the uncle to congratulate Tamamo Cross on winning the Gaoyue Award. After replying a message to the uncle, Higashino Chihiro's phone showed that her mother called her. This made Higashino Chihiro a little curious. His mother not only made a name for herself in the horse racing world at the beginning... Maruzenski and Mejiro Altan called me when they were winning consecutive battles, but they called me less frequently after that. Could he be calling to congratulate Tamamo Cross on his victory? "Hey, Mom, what's the matter with you calling me?" "..." There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while. Just when Higashino Chihiro frowned and wanted to ask what happened, a sigh came from the phone, and then the other end of the phone said: "I hesitated for a long time, but I still tell you this news." "Your uncle Touyama's condition suddenly worsened two weeks ago... He was sent to Tokyo First Hospital for emergency treatment last week... Although he is back in action, his condition is indeed more serious than before." "That guy Toushan didn't let us tell you, saying that he was afraid of affecting your match with Tamamo... But I still couldn't help it. I think you should go and take a look. I haven't told Tamamo yet, and her parents probably don't know about this either. As for whether to tell her or not, it's up to you..." After saying that, Higashino Chihiro's mother hung up the phone without caring about what was happening with Higashino Chihiro... After all, she was quite busy in the clinic herself. Chihiro Higashino now feels her head is a little buzzing and confused, and she doesn't know what she should do. "Torena-san, what's wrong with you? You don't look very well." "Ah?" Looking at the little chestnut hat that appeared in front of her without knowing when and looked at her with some concern, Higashino Chihiro forced a smile, "Maybe I'm a little too tired during this period. I'll be fine after a good rest after this period of time." Xiaolimao nodded as if it was true. She also saw how busy the trainer was during this period. "Trainer, you must take care of your body. Don't always care about our bodies and forget your own body." "You taught me a lesson, and I will pay attention to the good things." After quickly adjusting herself, Chihiro Higashino looked at Tamamo Cross who had just walked out of the lounge and decided not to tell her for the time being until she went to the hospital to understand the situation. "Let's go, the reporters are waiting for us, let's go quickly." During this press conference and the winner's stage afterwards, Chihiro Higashino looked absent-minded the whole time. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on Uma Musume and no one was paying much attention to him, so it was okay. After the winner's stage ended, Chihiro Higashino handed the car keys to Aldan Mejiro and asked her to return to the academy with her teammates and the Emperor of the East China Sea. He himself had some urgent matters to attend to and needed to go somewhere else.

"Would you like to take my car, Torenasan?" Maruzenski, who was originally just joking, didn't expect that Higashino Chihiro actually nodded and agreed. It seems that this is indeed a very important matter. "Torena-san, you're going to the hospital. Are you feeling unwell?" Having said this, Maruzenski involuntarily slowed down the car. "No, it's just that a senior is sick, so I came to visit him." "Oh, I see. Fortunately, if you feel unwell, Torena-san, you must not hide it and seek medical attention immediately." "Don't worry, I won't let my body get hurt. I've always been careful." Chapter 34: Precision Machines Arriving at the hospital, Maruzenski originally wanted to go with Higashino Chihiro to visit the senior that Higashino Chihiro mentioned... But thinking about the work in the student union that he would be busy with for a while after returning, he had no choice but to go back first. "Uncle Dangshan." Uncle Dangshan had not rested yet at this time. After seeing him outside, Chihiro Higashino walked in directly. "Huh? Why are you here? Did your parents tell you? Really, I told you not to worry about me..." Higashino Chihiro opened her mouth, not knowing what she should say...she just put some fruits she had bought downstairs on the table. "Uncle Dangshan, your condition..." Dang Shanran interrupted Dong Ye Qianxun's words, shook his hand, and said, "Don't mention this kind of thing. As a doctor, you should also know that if the patient is in a better mood, it will be good for his illness, right?" "So, stop talking about these worrying topics and talk about interesting topics." Looking at the gentle smile on Dang Shanran's face, Higashino Chihiro nodded. "I watched Tamamo's match today. She was amazing. The other horse girl from your team, Oguruma, is also amazing." Although Dang Shanran was just a local trainer before He was a member of the team and later resigned due to injury, but his passion for horse racing remains the same. Whenever he has time, he will pick up his phone... Or you can sit in front of the TV in the store and watch the central or local horse racing competitions. From time to time, you can go to the Dabai racecourse to watch the races live. "It's such a pity. I had originally thought that I would be discharged from the hospital before the Gaoyue Sho, and I could go home to recuperate... and then I could go to the scene to cheer for Tamamo, but I didn't expect that an accident would happen." "But it doesn't matter. As long as Tamamo won... Haha, now she only has the Japanese Derby and the Chrysanthemum Shooting left to achieve her goal. If she wins these two games, she can be called the strongest Japanese horse girl in the world and get the title she wants most, No. 1 in Japan." The time spent chatting with Dang Shanran was not long, mainly because Higashino Chihiro did not want to disturb Uncle Dang Shan's rest. His rest time was very important now. Before leaving, Dang Shanran did not forget to remind Higashino Chihiro not to tell Tamamo Cross about this... If it affects her game, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life. After taking a taxi back to the college, Chihiro Higashino threw herself on the bed. Originally, according to his habit, when he returned to the dormitory, as long as it was not too late...

He would read a book for a while or think about whether there was anything that needed to be adjusted in the training plan, but he was really not in the mood today. Take a shower, blow dry your hair and go to bed directly, stop thinking about those annoying things. There is a new horse simulation competition tomorrow, and I still have to participate... Even if it is basically confirmed that they will not recruit horse racing girls anymore, I still have to go and take a look. It's not only the academy's rules, but I also want to see if there is any horse girl who can make people's heart beat fast at first sight. If I meet one, I can't let it go easily, right? The next morning, after breakfast, Chihiro Higashino followed Mitsuji Okino and Minamisaka to the training ground. "Why didn't I see Tamamo Cross and the others today?" Normally during the trials or the new horse simulation matches, they should come over to say hello to Chihiro Higashino. Why haven’t they seen her today? "Tamamo and Oguri thought they couldn't waste these two days, so they went outside to train on their own. When Xiaowan, Aldan, Chiyoou, and Daishin saw them, they followed them. Maruzen had work to do in the student council and didn't come over."
