The trainer, whose time is running out, just wants to survive

……

"I'm back~ah? Aren't you at home?"

On the other side, Representative Qianming finally returned home after jogging for a while.However, Qianming returned to her parents' home, not to her rented house.

After the last autism incident, Qianming's parents no longer worried about their daughter living alone and suggested that she let her go home.Although Qianming is a free horse racing girl, she still adheres to the idea of ​​​​not worrying her parents and plans to go home and live well for a while.

...However, even if her parents don't say so, Qianming will most likely come back, because she feels that after returning home, her mood is indeed calmer than usual, and there is a feeling of being healed, which makes the tired Qianming Representatives can relax.

The strange thing about this sense of security is that it is not entirely brought about by her parents, but in the yard of her home, the ginkgo tree that she has taken care of since childhood and is now as tall as a canopy.

"Ouch."

Representative Qianming, who made herself a cup of hot tea, also slowly sat down under the ginkgo tree. She felt the golden ginkgo leaves falling in front of her and under her. Qianming took a deep breath, After feeling the natural smell filling his nostrils, his soft body couldn't help but relax a little more.

"Even I have forgotten... Why do I cherish you so much? Why did I feel that you were so special at first glance."

Qianming was holding hot tea, and her tone was relaxed with a little doubt. She seemed to be asking about the ginkgo, but she also seemed to be asking someone in her heart through this ginkgo.

"Just being by your side makes me feel at ease. Just being so close to you makes my body and mind calm down."

"It's a pity... you are different from a tree. A tree can be planted in my courtyard and belong to me forever, but..."

Qianming sighed softly and put the teacup in her hand aside. She closed her eyes and lay comfortably under the ginkgo tree. She didn't mind the soil and leaves contaminating her body at all. What she was enjoying now was It's this rare and precious moment of peace.

"But fortunately...in this case, it's not bad."

"At least for this moment, it's like you only belong to me..."

With the girl's soft voice, calm time slowly passed by, and with the breeze, the melancholy in the girl's mind also drifted away, entering a dream that only belonged to her.

And in that dream, she seemed to dream of everything she expected... The person who wanted to belong to her alone seemed to really only belong to her in the dream. It seemed to be a beautiful dream, and it seemed to be just a nightmare. A precursor to?

Qianming dreamed of the person she had longed for but was too mysterious to touch. This time, someone seemed to help her uncover his mysterious veil. She would follow in the footsteps she had walked before. Bit by bit, recall the story that belongs to them...

Chapter 79: Representative Qianming’s memory: She will not be bound...

"Representative Qianming? Your daughter? No, no, no, please forgive me for refusing."

"The reputation of you and your wife is almost ruined in Japan. It's surprising that you dare to come back. Now you still say that you want your daughter to play in the competition?"

"Please, we were good friends before, right? You can't harm me like this, right? If your daughter is not capable enough, I'm afraid I will have to suffer too!"

Representative Qianming has determined two things through observation since she can remember - first, her parents are the best parents in the world. They are very loving, and they also love herself very much. She is their pride.

The second thing...is that no one likes me except my parents.

Before the day when the young Representative Chiaki returned to Japan from abroad, he never thought that he, whom his parents regarded as a treasure, would be so unwelcome in Japan, and he never thought that he would be labeled as a "criminal" The name of "The Birth of".

The reason for all this stems from the seemingly enviable love experience of his parents, but in fact it was a huge public opinion in Japanese society at the time.As a trainer, Qianming's father actually fell in love with his racehorse mother, and when his racing career was on the rise, he and she chose to give up their career and embrace love. In the face of opposition in the country, Elope abroad.

This may sound extremely romantic at first, but in Japan at that time, elopement was a romantic film and television drama theme, and such love should have been blessed - but all this was due to two reasons. Not only did it not What became romantic love in people's eyes has become a symbol of sin.

First... it is naturally related to the relationship between trainers and responsibilities. Strictly speaking, trainers are to adolescent racing girls what teachers are to high school students.Although Qianming's mother had already passed away when her parents eloped, there was no doubt that this love still challenged the world and was destined to be cast aside.

As for the second paragraph, it has to do with Chiaki's mother. Her mother was a racing girl with extremely good blood. Chiaki's mother once won an event that Japan has never successfully challenged before - the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix.

This also makes everyone have high hopes for Qianming's mother, hoping that she can become the first horse racing girl to lead Japan out of the country and into the world.In fact, Qianming's mother showed that she had the talent to withstand such expectations not long after her debut. She won two heavy prizes and was so fast on the field that everyone had high expectations for her. expect.

But at this time, her trainer abducted this racing girl who carried the expectations of URA and even the Japanese people, and she disappeared from sight. As a result, the dream of Japanese racing girls to connect with the international standards was still far away until Qianming grew up. …

And the consequences of all this ultimately fell on the head of Representative Qianming, the "born of sin" horse racing girl.

That day, the grown-up Representative Qianming hid on the stairs of the attic. In order not to alarm his parents, in the middle of the night, in the hall downstairs, all the people they could find were heard on the phones of their rivals, whose tone and expression were almost pleading. , hoping that they can become Qianming's trainers when she enters Treson Academy.

However, as if to atone for their youthful impulses, no one is willing to take huge risks and pressure from public opinion and accept Qianming as the representative of this "birth of sin"

The child born to this horse racing girl who was once Japan's most promising horse racing girl and her trainer will definitely become the focus of all Japan on the day of her debut!It would be okay if she inherited her mother's speed, but if she doesn't have that kind of talent...then her title of "The Birth of Sin" will be confirmed, and the good reputation of all the central trainers they have done will be ruined. It is possible that Qianming will fall into the abyss.

But, none of this matters.

Without a trainer, I will fight alone and reach the top of Japan alone!

I will act as a winner and let Tereson College beg me to enroll, and when I stand at the top of Japan, I will tell them all with actions that my parents' choice was correct.

And with everything that happened later, Representative Qianming seemed to have proven his determination with actions.In her first debut game, she did not enter Teresin Academy. She took the name "Representative Chiaki" and truthfully informed all Japanese people that she was the "Birth of Sin" when she entered the game. Sure enough, she immediately became the focus of the field, the most watched horse racing girl in a game.

In the debut match, Representative Qianming relied on the professional training he received from his parents since he was a child and the talent he inherited from his parents. He successfully defeated a large number of Central Horse Racing girls with an extremely beautiful and relaxed attitude and became the undisputed winner of that debut match. the winner.

After winning the debut competition, as expected, Representative Qianming’s parents immediately received the admission notice from Teresin College, as well as a large number of invitations from central trainers to whom their parents had been begging in vain. .

Faced with her parents who were crying with joy, Representative Qianming, despite her joy, also made an extremely stubborn choice.

"Treson Academy, I will go, but I will not accept the invitation from these trainers."

These hindsights are not worthy of being my trainer.This was what Qian Ming didn't say. However, Qian Ming's parents knew their daughter's character very well. When it came to matters they believed in, almost no one could persuade Qian Ming to be stubborn.

After the couple looked at each other, they did not choose to contradict their daughter, but they still provided Qianming with his own advice in the right way:

"Qianming, you don't have to bear the debt owed by me and your father, and you don't have to prove anything. You are yourself. Don't ruin your life because of your stubbornness."

"We all know why you did this. Mom and dad will not advise you to do things you don't like, but mom and dad can't always be by your side. In the academy, if you can't learn to take care of yourself, find someone Use whatever trainer you think suits you.”

"He may not need to be very good or mature, but at least he can teach you, assist you, become your pillar of support, and save you from going astray. Running alone is a very tiring thing, Qianming. "

...a person who supports himself?

To be honest, Qianming never thought that she would find someone who would support her wholeheartedly from the day she officially entered school.And what she didn't expect was that she would actually meet such a person...a person who would definitely support her wholeheartedly until the end.

Because he was far more destitute than she was... When they first met, Qianming saw him wandering at the door of Treson College. His eyes were lonely and sad, as if he had been thrown out of the house and no one wanted him. He is as pitiful as a puppy, and the wheelchair he is sitting in adds a bit of sadness to him. His expression of lonely playing with the pendant in his hand as if it is some rare treasure makes people almost unable to move. .

At that moment, a voice sounded in Representative Qianming's heart. Such thoughts came to her mind the first time she saw him.

——Isn’t this the trainer I’m looking for?

A being who was abandoned by this world just like her.

A person who, like her, wants to prove his abilities but is unable to do so.

Someone like her...who had no other choice.

Representative Qianming believes that this person who is exactly like him will support him wholeheartedly like grasping a life-saving straw. He will never think that she is sinful like others, and he will always trust his ability because He was his only option - that was the truest thought in Qianming's heart at that moment.

Qian Ming knew that her thoughts were entirely for her own benefit... A racing girl who was despised by the world took the initiative to extend her hand to an abandoned trainer.

"Why are you sitting here? Why don't you come with me and step into this academy with your head held high?"

From that day on, Representative Qianming had her own trainer, and she finally learned his name from her trainer - Kitano Ryuichi.

And what Qianming knew was not only the name of her trainer...she also knew the secrets about her trainer.

"Are you really willing to choose me? Qianming?" When Qianming revealed his name to his trainer and confirmed that he would be his trainer, Qianming saw an extremely incredible look on Kitano's face. The expression on her face not only did not disdain her birth, but also looked like an idol worthy of worship, which left a deep impression on Qianming to this day.

"I may die at any time, Qianming. I'm afraid I only have a few months to live. Are you really willing to let a dying person like me become your trainer?"

"Well, I've made this choice, and I think I won't regret it."

Qianming's face was filled with a relaxed smile. She was not shocked by Kitano's incurable disease... In other words, she had been mentally prepared for this from the first moment she saw Kitano.

"I needed a trainer and a supporter, but the other trainers just wanted to restrain me, restrain me, and let me run at the pace they planned - so I chose Trainer Sang."

"Can you agree to me? Trainer Sang. I want to be the freest wind on the field. I don't want to be restrained. So, can you agree to my willful request and let me be free and in my own way on the field?" Going to run?"

"——Of course, Qianming. Rather, running freely should be your attitude."

However, under Qianming's expectant gaze, Kitano, after a moment of sluggishness, agreed to her request decisively and without any reluctance - Qianming remembered that it was the first time she showed such sincerity to a stranger. An inner smile.It was at that moment that Qianming believed in himself and really found a trainer who was most suitable for him.

"In that case, Qianming, as a trainer, I also have a small request. I hope you can agree."

But when Qianming was happy, Kitano, whose eyes always exuded gentleness and kindness, smiled slightly at her, but the words he spoke revealed a little bit of despair and relief, softly said to her:

"As you can see, I won't live for long...I'm afraid that in these few months, it's hard to say whether I can help Qianming win a victory, so I hope I can tell you in advance."

"During this period, you only regard me as your trainer, and I only regard you as my student. I will help you as much as possible, but other than that, except for training and competition, everything you do You can plan your time freely, you don’t need to stay by my side, and you don’t need to pay attention to my physical condition.”

"My destiny... is destined to be death, but I don't want my death to have any impact on you. So please promise me that if I really die one day, you won't have any psychological burden. Don’t feel sad because of my death. I hope you can run as always by yourself.”

"So, there is no need to pour too much emotion into me. Just like you said, just float by me like a gust of wind - Qianming, can you promise me?"

Don't put too much emotion into it...Isn't that the same as what I was thinking at the time, just treating you as a tool for me to reach the top?

I didn't expect that you would actually make such a request... Really, if I was the only one who thought this way, I might feel better, but after you said all these words, if I really did it, Instead, I feel a very strong sense of guilt.

What a cunning trainer-san.Now, I have to try my best to reach the top in order to be worthy of your help.

"——I promise you, Trainer-san."

"Even if you die, I will run alone without any burden. I will not be devastated by your death, let alone give up my career because of sadness. I will be like a gust of wind, flowing from your It blows by but doesn’t take anything away.”

"...That's enough."

After a moment of wry smile, Qianming raised her head again and looked directly at Kitano in front of her. Her expression was more solemn and more natural. She had made up her mind to face the person in front of her. Seeing his victorious trainer, he made a promise that he thought he could keep.

She won't put too much emotion into him, and she won't give up her freedom for him. What he wants to see is a free self, a carefree self, who can still live even after losing him. better self.

You can definitely do it yourself.Representative Qianming believes in herself, believes in herself who has been spurned by the world, and has an indifferent attitude towards everything in this world.

She is a free wind, no one or anything can restrain her, never.

Chapter 80: Representative Qianming’s memory: She turned into the spring breeze...

Representative Qianming, I always feel like I have been cheated by Kitano recently.

"Didn't we promise that we would leave at any time within a few months? But it's been more than a year, right? We are obviously short of the last chrysanthemum reward for the three undefeated crowns. Trainer-san, you don't look like you are still alive. Are you okay?"

"No, that's not right! Rather, is your health much better than when we first met?"

One year has passed, and Representative Qianming, who is now sitting with Kitano in the cafe of Tereson College, looks completely different from when she first enrolled - her pupils are smaller than when she first enrolled. A bit stubborn, but also a bit agile and relaxed, which makes her chic smile look more real, and makes people feel as refreshing as a spring breeze from the heart.

The bigger change lies in the surrounding environment.Around Chiaki and Kitano's position, there are many racing girls in school uniforms who are also resting in the cafe. However, they are different from the "people abandoned by the world" that Chiaki thought a year ago... The racing ladies around them were all looking at them with envious and ambiguous eyes, consciously or unconsciously. From time to time, they would chat with their tablemates and snicker shyly and excitedly.

"Sure enough, their relationship is really good."

"After all, it's the kind of combination that no science fiction novel dares to write about, a team that saves each other."

"Ugh - I'm so envious. I wonder if I will have the chance to join this team."

"I advise you not to have this idea. Look, Trainer Kitano's middle finger is on it."

"Hey! So, is that a ring?!"

"So, Trainer Kitano must have been booked by Qianming a long time ago. They have such a good relationship, and Qianming's parents fell in love around this time, so you'd better not think about causing trouble."

"Besides, if you join rashly now, you might become a 'sinner' in the academy? You should know that, right? What everyone has been looking forward to now is the public relationship between Trainer Kitano and Qianaki?"

"Wow, that's great. I really want to have a trainer who can save me. I really envy Qianming."

From time to time, whispers from the surroundings reached Representative Qianming’s particularly keen ears.For Qianming, it only took less than a year for Qianming to go from being uncomfortable with it at the beginning to becoming accustomed to it now... And she knew that all these changes, in the final analysis, were due to the " Brought to you by the "Big Liar" trainer.

Representative Qianming actually had no hope at the beginning. How much Kitano, a trainer who could not even enter Teresin Academy at that time and was so ill that he only had a few months left to live, could help him.Qianming just took one step at a time and just wanted to respond to Kitano's expectations as much as possible while he was still looking at her, so that he could see the moment of his victory.

In this way, maybe Kitano can be more peaceful when he leaves... It is the only thing Qianming can do to repay him by thanking him for his support.

Qianming herself has already made up her mind - she will not cry or grieve over Kitano's death. She will always remember this person in her heart, with his share of expectations and his share. Support, never run alone again.

In fact, everything in the beginning developed according to this established script.While Representative Qianming was preparing for her second game, she discovered that her trainer's physical condition was getting worse and worse, even to the point of being hospitalized.

From that moment on, Chiaki treated his next game as the last game Kitano could witness.

"I will definitely let you see my victory, and I will never let you leave with regrets."

Facts have proved that when Qianming has faith in her heart and has expectations that she does not want to live up to, she becomes more focused on the court and can unleash her full strength!She won the second game with a huge advantage thanks to her unstoppable finishing and her extreme concentration, which never caused her usual "late start" problem!

Qianming originally thought that this was the only thing she could do for Kitano, but what surprised her was that after she won the second game, Kitano, who was seriously ill, miraculously regained some energy and was able to resume his studies. into her training.

Although Qianming was surprised at the improvement of Kitano's physical condition at first, she was still very happy that Kitano was out of danger. After all, Qianming did not want to see Kitano die of illness at all. He was his only supporter and his only supporter. trainer... I will never find a trainer more suitable for me than him in the future.

Therefore, just cherish every minute and every second that he can still hold on to.

However, as time went by, when Representative Qianaki stepped onto the field with all his strength again and again with the idea that "this may be the last game Kitano can witness", Qianaki became more and more suspicious- -My own free wind seems to be being driven wantonly by Kitano in a weird way.

The most obvious one is the first game of the classic Triple Crown, which was decided at the beginning of this year, during the GI Satsuki Prize!That was the worst case of Kitano’s illness that Representative Chiaki had ever seen!After Kitano suddenly fainted this time, he was even rushed to the hospital for rescue. It took a full day and night before his life was considered out of danger.

Everyone thought that Kitano would never be able to survive this difficulty this time. Even the doctor advised Representative Qianming to give up... Representative Qianming also believed at the time that this time might be the end of Kitano's life... He had experienced several I have witnessed Kitano fighting against the disease again and again, and saving the day with great difficulty... But this time, I am afraid that the danger he has experienced cannot be overcome by perseverance or luck.

"The day has come...but it doesn't matter, Trainer-san, don't worry about me."

"I will do what I promised you, and I will not let this affect my performance. You only need to witness me turning into a wind blowing across the field, and when I win for you, you will also turn into the wind. , blow it from my side and through my life."

"I will run well alone, don't worry."

The day before the game, Representative Chiaki said his last farewell words to Kitano who was half asleep on the hospital bed and might take his last breath at any time.

Even though Representative Qianming has always adhered to Kitano's "non-interference except for training and competition" way of getting along with each other, after spending more than half a year with Kitano and several frightening crises, this time she really Seeing the critically ill Kitano, the pain in his heart was obviously not comparable to before.
