Anecdotes about Ma Niang in East China

"You are such a good boy, then I will continue." Hao Opera looked at the Dongcheng Kuaiju in front of him who was listening carefully, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and continued.

"Watching Satsuki..."

In the Satsuki Festival, which was originally considered to be a duel between the two powers, in the duel between Naritaji and Orihime, a good opera suddenly emerged, defeated the two, and became the "fastest horse racing girl" , winner of the Satsuki Prize.This incident was obviously unexpected by everyone, but at the time, they did not expect that the obsession with Orihime would reach a new level.

After that, Hao Opera learned some details about his admiration for Orihime from other people’s mouths——

Including the impact of the death of Orihime's sister on her, and why she became the Orihime she is today, but even if these things were known earlier, it would not change what a good opera will do.Although in a sense, the victory of good opera makes the love for Orihime go to the extreme——

"At the time, I didn't know that there was something wrong with Orihime's health, which prevented her from showing her strength." Hao Opera shrugged, thinking carefully about the fact that Orihime would stall even though it was only about 2000 meters. Which is weird in itself.But even so, I still think that at that time, I was somewhat one of the reasons why I had an extreme love for Orihime..." Hao Opera confessed.

"Good opera senior, you did nothing wrong -" Dongcheng Kuaiju whispered, "you just implemented the attitude that a racing girl should have."

"That's true, but I didn't find the problem with the people around me. Although I was an opponent who valued me so much, I was still too lax. If I had found out at that time, I would have tried to help her before or after that. If so, maybe not so many things will happen in the future." Hao Opera smiled bitterly and shook his head.

——Dongcheng Kuaiju knew that what she was talking about was that after the Triple Crown... Aimu Orihime was forced to retire due to physical reasons.However, at that time, neither Good Opera nor Narita Road realized that... the enemy they thought was a strong enemy would actually leave the show early.

Chapter 21·Glory

"During the Japanese Derby, Admiration Orihime exploded with unprecedented strength. It even eclipsed me." Hao Opera narrated this. "Although I don't want to admit it, at the time I thought she had found her own path - but I was wrong."

Although a good opera may look exaggerated on the outside, he seems to be full of confidence anytime and anywhere. He is a free person who does not care about anything.But only after getting along with her for a long time will you realize that she is bold, careful, considerate, and often the kind of person who leads others.

But the carefulness of a good opera is not something that is possessed from the beginning. It is better to say that a good opera only became what it is now after knowing that it was unable to save the beloved Orihime.As the overlord, she failed to save the glory around her. This incident made her unforgettable for a long time.

When Dongcheng Kuaiju came to inquire about this matter, Hao Opera did not hide this matter that was simply a shame to her. She was proud, but never arrogant, and she was careful, but never crossed the line.The original good opera really completely surpassed Naritaji and Aimu Orihime in terms of mentality.

It is this invincible state of mind that makes her the only and eternal overlord who is undefeated in the year. Good operas never shy away from the stories of her immature period, so that she can examine her strong heart and all-encompassing thoughts anytime and anywhere. Tender care is what she is most proud of.

"Although I didn't understand what it was at the beginning, Aimu Orihime was the first among us to open the [Field], and used the field and her absolute talent to defeat us. If Aimu Orihime can keep running If so, she must be one of my best opponents. Unfortunately... there is no if." Hao Opera could see that Dongcheng Kuaiju was a little disappointed, and she patted Dongcheng Kuaiju on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I don't feel disappointed because of this. There is no need for you to show such an expression."

After the Japanese Derby, there was a long break. After all, although the gap between Satsuki Appreciation and the Japanese Derby was very small, the Chrysanthemum Appreciation was different.The Chrysanthemum Appreciation is a competition that starts when the classic year is coming to an end, so before the competition, Hao Opera, Narita Road, and Adoring Orihime naturally joined the queue for the summer stay.

That is to say, in the summer camp, the good opera overestimated the degree of obsession with Orihime at that time, making her train herself like an ascetic, and when a string is stretched to the extreme, there will only be one result.That was the rupture, and the good operas of the time were unaware of the mournful cry of admiration for Orihime.

Narita Road and Hao Opera were obviously her best comrades, but she threw away their hands again and again, as if it was a sin to get joy from running. Her achievements in the Japanese Derby, Instead, it plunged her into an even darker abyss.

From that day on, Aimu Orihime never smiled truly from the bottom of her heart.Training, training, training, training, training, never-ending training, a hell of a schedule.There is no trainer who admires Orihime. If there was one, it would definitely prevent her from abusing him like this, but the most unacceptable reality is that there is no if.

Admiring Orihime, her body and mind were under pressure at the same time. In her eyes, even victory became torture, like a zombie whose body was driven purely by an obsession.It doesn't matter even if her body is damaged. She challenges the limits of her body again and again.

Why do racehorse girls love running?There are many answers to this matter.But if there is a horse racing girl who cannot get happiness from running, or she limits herself from getting happiness, then running is a mechanized action, a pure way of wearing out the body, or even - some kind of punishment to punish herself. .

At that time, I admired Orihime and fell into a situation that made people feel like they were in hell just by imagining it, so that they could get some relief like atonement.It was as if she was entangled in thorns, her skin was pierced by sharp thorns, and her wounds were dotted with blood, so that she could gain a glimmer of forgiveness.

She loves Orihime like a martyr, and she is so strong that no one can take their eyes away from her.In this way, a zombie is built on a bruised body and spirit, squirming in order to look up at the stars.But even so, good opera still cannot take your eyes away——

After all, even so, Admiration for Orihime still burst out with a dazzling brilliance.

Hao Opera felt terrible and even a little guilty for feeling excited, but she couldn't restrain her urge to challenge such an admiration for Orihime.It was during this period that the field of good opera began to take shape, and Narita Road was affected as well.

Although in the GII competition before the Chrysanthemum Festival, Orihime once again defeated Narita Road, Narita Road at that time also successfully completed its transformation.At least from the perspective of a bystander like a good opera, the brilliance of Narita Road and the brilliance of admiring Orihime are equally dazzling.

Soon came the chrysanthemum reward of fate, a zombie covered in bruises and admiring Orihime.And Narita Road, the warrior who carries everyone’s expectations and tears.And I am the overlord who is still confident that he can complete his dominance even though he has lost several times. What a great opera.When gathering for the final chrysanthemum viewing, she even felt the presence of fate.

If there really is a so-called stage of destiny in the world, then they were on the stage of destiny at that time, as if they were the three people who were given the halo of the protagonists.But that time the protagonist was not a good opera, nor was he in love with Orihime, but Narita Road.

Naritaji, who had completely transformed and gained domain power, used his unique running method of wide open and close to defeat the good opera and the admirer Orihime, and successfully won the Chrysanthemum Award.So the Triple Crown event at that time was won by the three of them respectively.But it was precisely because of that failure——

Aimu Orihime's last obsession also disappeared, and the zombie struggling forward finally lost power and crawled to the ground. Soon after, Good Opera heard that Aimu Orihime had retired due to suspensory ligamentitis, and completely left the Flash series. Sai, this once shining first-magnitude star, streaked across the sky like a shooting star, leaving a deep impression on people before disappearing completely.

It's like a dream that people don't want to wake up from...

After that, the Overlord ruled that era. Naritaji didn't know if it was because he didn't have the admiration for Orihime, but it seemed that he never showed the strength he should have.Of the three people who divided the Triple Crown, two lost their glory in this way, and good operas had to hold on to the glory in their hands and fight.

In that era, good opera was the only survivor—and the only king.

Holding the brilliance in her hand, she defeated all opponents one by one, and even achieved an unprecedented undefeated year that may not be possible after all.She won't lose, and she doesn't dare to lose. After all, if she loses, maybe the glory she expected will completely dissipate, and there will always be a natural chasm in their fate.

When you reach this natural chasm, you will not be able to cross this barrier like in the past. You will stop and you will appoint.

Just like her love for Orihime has lost its glory, just like Narita Road has lost its glory, just like a good opera that insists on retaining this last spark, her victory is to prove one thing to the two people who once walked the same road with her, The fire of that era has been inherited by her.

Her brilliance was accompanied by the dreams of those two people——

At least, that’s what good opera thinks—

"The undefeated overlord throughout the year is truly an unprecedented achievement, and it may not be the same in the future..." Dongcheng Kuaiju certainly respects good operas, but hearing this achievement still makes people feel shuddering.It was a completely head-to-head competition, with no evasion. He participated in all the competitions he could participate in, and even won the championship despite being targeted by the horses.

But probably no one thought that the original purpose of the overlord who defeated them was to let Orihime admire and Naritaji see how dazzling they were back then, right?

Although it was just her own opinion of a good opera, Dongcheng Kuaiju was also moved. After listening to these stories, she once again felt a flash of inspiration.She found that the emergence of inspiration was similar to the emergence of fields in a certain sense. They were both mysterious and mysterious feelings. If you catch it, you are a genius. If you don't catch it, you can only dream about everything.

"Thank you! Good opera senior, I have benefited a lot from your words!" Dongcheng Kuaiju said seriously, "Leave your love for Orihime to me, and I will definitely cure her."

The story of the good opera also made Dongcheng Kuaiju determined to cure his admiration for Orihime. After all, if she even gave up her admiration for Orihime, she would be too pitiful.The adjective of a good opera still rings in my ears. It is a zombie squirming in order to look up at the stars based on the body and spirit. Although the now-retired Orihime does not seem to be as crazy as in the past, this does not mean that she has improved. .

But she didn't continue to pursue the opportunity of victory to give to her sister. In her eyes, she had failed.And such a failure prevented her from showing any brilliance again.After retiring, it was as if she had lost her soul. She was completely different from the sparkling admiration for Orihime that Hao Ge said.

In the world of jockey girls, there are examples of retired jockey girls re-entering the competition, but obviously admiring Orihime goes beyond this category.Then the only competitions she can participate in are probably the Legends Tournament. Although it is different from professional events such as the Flash Series, the Legends Tournament as an All-Star Game also has a very high gold content.

If you want to awaken your admiration for Orihime, you probably have no other choice besides this option, right?Dongcheng Kuaiju was thinking, but before she was completely sure, Hao Opera made a suggestion.

"Although you seem to be ready to do something, I suggest you go and meet Naritaji?" Good Opera suggested, "I am just a bystander, but Naritaji is different, she is a Quite a nosy person, somewhat similar to you."

Hao Opera, who calls herself a bystander, has been observing the two of them because she knows that her character is not suitable for dealing with a character who admires Orihime. However, she seems to see the possibility in Tojo Kaiju, the man who was originally on Narita Road. The possibilities seen in the body.

Naritaji's character allowed her to ignore the refusal of her admirer Orihime and forcefully get close to her, while Tojo Kuaiju took a path that ordinary people couldn't take. After all, not everyone can have Vega as a cheat.Now Dongcheng Kuaiju is obviously the person closest to curing Orihime.

Good opera also wants to contribute to some extent, and it can really free yourself from the regrets of the past.She gave a very pragmatic suggestion: inherit the Narita Road archive first.After all, this was the first person to extend a helping hand to his beloved Orihime.

-

The conversation was divided into two parts. While Dongcheng Kuaiju and Hao Opera were chatting happily, Admiring Orihime and Satomi Hikari were also chatting, but they were all talking about little Dongcheng's topics.Although Admiring Orihime had already guessed that there must be many people around Toucheng Kuaiju, when she saw the way Toucheng Kuaiju looked at Satomi Kouzui, she knew that Satomi Kouzui was very important to Tojo Kuaiju. People.

After all, although she could occasionally see that almost unguarded look, she would only maintain such trust 100% when she looked at the diamond.For those who admire Orihime, this is undoubtedly something worthy of envy. From Satomi Hikari's mouth, he can also hear other information about Tojo Kuaiju.

It's just that Admiration Orihime is trying to gather information, and Satomi Hikari is not idle either. Although Admiration Orihime cherishes words like gold, you can tell a lot of clues just by looking at her facial expressions.Satomi Kozuan, who seems to be just playing a one-acting role, also got some information from the reaction of his admiration for Orihime.

In fact, Satomi wasn't that vigilant at first, but there was one thing she found that she was indeed lagging behind this new admirer of Orihime.Xiao Dongcheng had never painted a portrait for her alone. She knew that as long as she asked, Dongcheng Kuaiju would probably help, but being asked to do so was something to be jealous of.

Taking the initiative and being asked are two different things. Of course Satomi Kozuan would rather Xiao Dongcheng take the initiative to ask her to draw a portrait for her.Inevitably, there was a bit of sourness like a lemon in Satomi Kozu's words.The overt and covert fight between the two men continued until Dongcheng Kuaiju came out of the training ground of Hao Opera.

"Did something happen?" Dongcheng Kuaiju frowned in confusion. Although the two of them looked natural, her sixth sense told her that what should have happened just now, but now everything seems to be back on track. .

"Nothing." Satomi Kozui shook his head, as if he didn't care.

"You think too much." Admire Orihime also nodded, not wanting to be honest about the intrigue just now.

Chapter 22·Surrounded by force!

The good opera not only helped Dongcheng Kuaiju understand his admiration for Orihime, but also pointed out some shortcomings of Dongcheng Kuaiju.She has watched all the games of Dongcheng Kuaiju. Except for the slightly strange game in Arima Memorial, she has a high opinion of Dongcheng Kuaiju.

Judging from her understanding of Dongcheng Kuaiju, Dongcheng Kuaiju's playing style is actually somewhat similar to hers. It emphasizes basics and skills, can seize opportunities, and has the courage and ability to swim against the current in desperate situations.This style of play is really what good operas like.

Among the new generation, Good Opera's favorite thing is Dongcheng Kuaiju. From all aspects, Good Opera's vision is somewhat similar to that of Lu Duo's symbol. The only difference between Good Opera and Lu Duo's symbol is that Lu Duo's symbol is more They tend to interfere in the development of horse girls, while good operas like to observe from the position of bystanders.

Only when Good Opera thinks she needs to take action or provide advice will she take the initiative to help.In this regard, it may be much gentler than the Rudo symbol.

However, it is precisely because of this characteristic that Good Opera rarely gives advice to other horse racing girls. Although they would not ignore them if they came to ask, it would be very rare for Good Opera to take the initiative to give advice.But Dongcheng Kuaiju is one. After all, he is the child that both Lu Duo and she value, especially since he will need to participate in foreign competitions in the future.

Although he has no experience in competing abroad, Hao Opera still gave his own opinions.The current Dongcheng Kuaiju's skills are pure, and his tactics are sharp. The only shortcoming is probably in the field.Although Dongcheng Kuaiju had an amazing dual field before, from the perspective of Good Opera, what really needs to be polished is the unfinished field.

For the horse racing girl, the domain is a power used to increase the upper limit.If Dongcheng Kuaiju's skills and basic physical ability provide her with a lower limit, then the goal of the field is to raise her upper limit. Previously, Dongcheng Kuaiju's upper limit was achieved by the rather outrageous full-court suppression field.But good opera pays more attention to the "unfinished" field that can imitate other people's fields.

Imitating others is not something to be ashamed of. In fact, just like painting, imitation and copying are inherently part of learning. As long as you can completely transform the other person's things into your own and not copy them mechanically, imitation itself is not What bad things could happen.

Therefore, Good Opera has some advice for Dongcheng Kuaiju: If there is no fake, it will definitely not be better than the genuine one.

Your field is not that weak. In fact, according to Good Opera, the undecided field of Dongcheng Kuaiju even has a very high development limit.She made her point.

"You have to believe in your field first, or in other words, you need to believe that you can surpass the person you are imitating."

-

Before going to meet Narita Road, these words of good opera lingered in Dongcheng Kuaiju's mind.Hao Opera is obviously a very powerful senior among the horse girls.Her opinion is certainly worthy of attention, but does Dongcheng Kuaiju's own field, which has always been regarded as an unfinished field by Dongcheng Kuaiju, really have such strong potential?

It's not that he doubts his vision for good opera, but that Dongcheng Kuaiju himself doubts his ability in the field.

She always thought that the reason why her field could not show its own effects was because her soul was not essentially a horse racing girl. She was just a human soul attached to the horse racing girl, so it should be normal to have some shortcomings in the field. .But the words of Good Opera are like saying that it is not that the field itself is weak, but that Dongcheng Kuaiju underestimates the potential of his own field.

I underestimated my own potential...is that what you mean?Dongcheng Kuaiju tilted his head and worried, and this worry seemed to be caught by the admiring Orihime on the side.she asked. "What's bothering you?"

"Ah... no, it's just that the good opera senior reminded me a few words before leaving, and I don't quite understand it." Dongcheng Kuaiju shook her head, but she still thanked Aimu Orihime for her concern for her. The relationship between himself and Orihime is gradually warming up, otherwise the former Orihime would probably not care about him like this. "What about you, Orihime? Did you enjoy chatting with Diamond? Diamond is a very good person."

"..." The look in Admiring Orihime's eyes was a little strange, but she still said it a little against her will. "Yeah, not bad."

"...Eh?" Although Dongcheng Kuaiju was curious about what happened between Satomi and Orihime, she did not say it out loud.It was some kind of wonderful premonition that made her think that there would be no benefit in digging into this matter.

However, ever since he came back from the opera house, his admiration for Orihime seemed not to be very high, and he would occasionally look in the direction of Dongcheng Kuaiju.It's as if he cares about what a good opera says. In fact, this reaction is surprisingly cute.

"Actually, Orihime, you can just ask me what Good Opera said." Tojo Kaiju said, "I don't think Good Opera senior will care. After all, she is your very important friend, right?"

"...I don't care." Although the reason why Orihime cared was revealed, she still said a bit stiffly. "Their evaluation of me has nothing to do with me. I'm just worried about whether my image has changed in your mind."

"I guess so." Dongcheng Kuaiju smiled and nodded, "I like you more than before, right?"

"...?!" Admire Orihime was stunned for a moment, then said with a blush on her face. "What on earth are you thinking! Can you say something like this casually if you like it?!"

"...Ah, sorry, sorry -" Dongcheng Kuaiju realized his faux pas and scratched his head in embarrassment. "Anyway, the good opera and the things I said didn't make me think there's anything bad about you, Orihime. On the contrary, I admire you very much, Orihime."

"...What's there to admire?" Admire Orihime said in a helpless tone, "In her words, I must be an idiot who thinks about strange things all day long and trains blindly to make myself useless."

"Orihime, you are a little too extreme." Tojo Kaiju shrugged, "I don't deny that you were indeed too harsh on yourself in the past, but the good opera senior did not deny your efforts because of this. I think, no matter what For whatever reason, your efforts are real, so the good opera senior really regards you as a very important opponent."

"Really?" Orihime nodded unexpectedly, "Is this how she sees me?"

"So Orihime, you are too extreme." Tojo Kaiju sighed, "A good opera senior is a very gentle person. In fact, your final retirement is a very regrettable thing for her. She even said I said something... If I could have been more involved in things about you, would there have been a better outcome... She is really looking forward to entering a new era with you and Narita Road in the year of Guman."

"...and then become the foil of that overlord?" There was a bit of a smile in the tone of the admiring Orihime, "Is that right...this is how she views me..."

Dongcheng Kuaiju looked at Aimu Orihime, whose mouth was slightly raised, and felt a little sweetness in her heart, like fruit candy. In fact, she had discovered something a long time ago, that is, Aimu Orihime's experience and many things. In fact, It corresponds to myself in a certain sense.

In other words, it is the correspondence between himself, Qiong and his love for Orihime and Vega.When I was running for Qiong, why didn't I force myself as much as I admired Orihime?It's just that he had a better ending, while his beloved Orihime left sadly.

When looking at the admiring Orihime, Tojo Kuaiju often puts himself into admiring Orihime and then thinks about it.I discovered that there are many choices to love Orihime, and I would choose the same way if it were me.The essential similarity between the two of them cannot be described as coincidence. Just like two similar flowers in the world, their meeting may also be part of fate.

The difference between them may really just be due to their different fates. I am luckier. Not only did I get Qiong back, but I also gained a new life.But Adoring Orihime was not so lucky.For her, her knot lies in the fact that her sister left her early. She really values ​​this bond too much, even if they never really get along for a second.

Dongcheng Kuaiju always feels that he is really a very lucky person. The first person he saw after coming to this world was Satomi Hikaru, which made him find his first friend in this world.Later, he got to know Bei Xuanju and others. Even President Ruduo, who he thought was unlucky to meet at first, later found out that he was also a person who truly cared about him.

Looking at it this way, I really am so blessed that I don’t know how to be blessed...

But fortunately, she still has a chance to save her -

Although Aimu Orihime didn't know what Dongcheng Kuaiju was thinking at this time, she somewhat felt Dongcheng Kuaiju's gaze and asked with some doubts. "What's wrong? Did I do something weird just now?"

"No, it's just that I think I'm lucky to meet you, Orihime." Dongcheng Kuaiju said with a smile. Although her words were sincere, her admiration for Orihime at this time could no longer listen to other words.He just turned his head with a slightly red face and muttered something.

Of course Dongcheng Kuaiju didn't know what Aimu Orihime was muttering about. The two of them had already arrived at Narita Road. Like Aimu Orihime, Naritaji did not participate in the Legend Cup, although he would occasionally go to the training ground to maintain his condition. But it has been out of public view for a long time.

She seems to be doing some charity-related things now, such as volunteering in orphanages. Although she hasn't graduated yet, she seems to have a very full future planned.According to Orihime, this is also due to Naritaji's character. She is a very responsible person who likes to schedule her time to the fullest.

But before coming, Aimu Orihime had already said hello in advance, which gave this guy who was always busy with his feet a little free.

Tojo Kuaiju and Aimu Orihime left school, called a car, and drove nearly half of Tokyo before they found the orphanage Naritaji was helping. The area was not large, but the facilities were still relatively new.The orphanage is located far away from the city center, probably because of the housing price, so Narita Road was waiting at the door early.

When she saw Aimu Orihime and Tojo Kuaiju appear, she raised her hand and waved. "Here here!"

After seeing Narita Road, Orihime's somewhat strange expression suddenly became very relieved. Although there was only a difference in details, Tojo Kaiju still slightly captured it.Naritaji is also a special person for Aimu Orihime. Before Tojo Kuaiju appeared, Naritaji was probably Aimu Orihime's best friend.

"Ah~ Orihime, long time no see~" Naritaji immediately threw himself into a bear hug after Admiration Orihime came to him, and held the overwhelmed Admiration Orihime in his arms. This gesture without any sense of distance was enough. It proves the relationship between the two.If it had been anyone else, Admiration Orihime would have avoided it long ago. "Ahhhh, by the way, this is Miss Dongcheng Kuaiju you are talking about, right?"

"Well, this is the first time we meet, Naritaji-senpai." It's strange to say that they are both seniors, but in front of Orihime, who admires Orihime, Tojo Kaiju never calls her senior. On the one hand, it's because he wants to fight with Orihime. A good relationship, on the other hand, is also, in a sense, a requirement for admiring Orihime.

It's quite strange for friends to call each other senpai - and it's just that he doesn't look like senpai when he admires Orihime.

"First meeting~ Ah, but if you think about it carefully, you are quite famous. The children in the orphanage all regard you as their idol." Naritaji scratched his cheek, "Although it is the first time we have met, it is true La, but can you please come and play with the children in the orphanage for a while? I accidentally told them about your coming."

"No problem." Dongcheng Kuaiju nodded. She quite likes children. Although she is an introvert, only children are probably not within her guarding range. After all, children are not bad in most cases. There is no need to be wary of the mind's eye.

Um...except for naughty kids——

"Thank you~ Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were so popular at first." Naritaji thanked her sincerely. The first time she heard Orihime say that she had made a new friend, she couldn't believe it. After all, the chance of admiring Orihime's character and wanting to make new friends is not very high in terms of high emotional intelligence. In terms of low emotional intelligence, not everyone can tolerate the character of admiring Orihime.

But obviously, Orihime still likes his new friend Tojo Kuaiju, and Narita Narita can tell just from his expression.Few people can be so natural when getting along with Orihime.

"Well, I'll trouble you today~" Narita led Dongcheng Kuaiju and Orihime into the orphanage. Just after entering the orphanage, Dongcheng Kuaiju immediately realized what the attention a celebrity deserves is .After all, in the next second, the dark horse racing cubs surged up like a tide, directly surrounding Dongcheng Kuaiju.

It's like a replica of the time when I went to the dormitory of the University of Tokyo, except that these children, whose average height is only 1.3 meters, feel a little less oppressive.

Dongcheng Kuaiju was sweating profusely as he looked at the children surrounding him and lamented in his heart.

"Surrounded by force!!!"
