A cute girl’s heart is capable of anything

【Yes!And this is a blessing that can only be obtained by wearing it! 】

The three goddesses, like salespeople in a clothing store, began to introduce the dress she was wearing to the black-haired horse girl: [Let’s not talk about other aspects, this dress has the basic function of keeping warm in winter and cool in summer. ! 】

'Warm in winter and cool in summer... In other words, even if I only wear this piece of clothing now, won't I catch a cold? '

Qingzhu Fengya's eyes shined.

【...I suggest you don't do this. 】

Then, she heard the three goddesses say this to her.

"What? Did you finally come to your senses?"

When Qingzhu Fengya was in a daze, Saito Asuka, who had been standing beside her and waiting, saw the other person finally looking up at him, and joked: "...How about it? Have you asked me what's going on with this dress?" "

"Yeah, let's ask clearly."

Qingzhu Fengya nodded: "This victory uniform does have blessings from the three goddesses~?"

"Oh, so that legend is true?"

After answering perfunctorily, Saito Asuka shook the notebook in his hand: "...Okay, okay, stop chatting, the first training after the winter vacation is about to begin."

"Turn left, 2000 meters."

Saito Asuka, who was telling the black-haired horse girl standing in front of him this basic information and loading the starting gun in his hand, asked after a brief pause: "...How are you, are you ready?"

"Hey...why isn't it 3000 meters?"

The black-haired horse lady, who was dissatisfied with the length, pouted: "I want to run a long-distance race..."

"But you also said you wanted to compete in the Classic Triple Crown, right?"

Asuka Saito reminded: "The first crown of the classic three crowns is the 2000-meter Satsuki View, right?"

"It's only 2000 meters."

Qingzhu Fengya muttered: "...If I had known this was the case, I would have said that I wanted to participate in the Emperor's Award."

"It can't be changed now, right?"

Saito Asuka looked at the black-haired horse girl in front of him: "Don't forget that you announced on the winner's stage that you will participate in this year's classic Triple Crown event."

"Ugh..."

Qingzhu Fengya let out a mournful cry.

If I had known this was the case, I would have said that I wanted to participate in the Emperor's Award...

Qingzhu Fengya, who wanted to run a long-distance race, regretted it.

Please save this school that is about to be abandoned! : Chapter 114: Hurry up!

"Then...if you're ready, let's get started, okay?"

Looking at the black-haired horse girl standing in front of the starting line, Saito Asuka reminded.

"Good~"

Qingzhu's elegant voice was weak: "...I'm ready."

"Hey, hey, be serious."

Seeing Qingzhu Fengya's listless look, Saito Asuka couldn't help but said, "This is your first training after the winter vacation."

"Then, trainer, how about you extend the length of this training to 3000 meters?"

The black-haired horse girl who said this was eager to try: "...This will cheer me up? How about it? Isn't it very simple?"

"But I refuse."

Even though Qingzhu Fengya was staring at her with her watery eyes, Saito Asuka still rejected her proposal without hesitation.

"Hey...why is this..."

Seeing Saito Asuka rejecting his proposal without hesitation, Qingzhu Fengya's high-erected ears immediately became soft.

The black-haired horse lady, whose ears were folded into airplane ears, raised her hands in front of her chest and made fists, looking helplessly at Saito Asuka who was standing not far away: "...Is it really not possible?"

"……no!"

Saito Asuka, who was stared closely at Qingzhu Fengya's longing eyes, forced himself to look away: "This is also to allow you to quickly adapt to the length of the Satsuki Shou competition."

"……All right."

Qingzhu Fengya closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"I'm ready, trainer."

When she opened her eyes again, the expression on her face became serious, and the ears on her head perked up again.

"Okay, then...run!"

"boom!"

Before Saito Asuka's voice fell, Qingzhu Fengya rushed out like an arrow on a bowstring.

Although she has not run for more than a month, the habit of running has been deeply engraved in her mind.

There was no need to deliberately adjust her posture. Her body, which had already memorized everything by heart, had already adjusted itself to the most comfortable posture after she started running.

And all she needs to do...is to burst in!

Speed ​​up!Rush forward headlong.

Leave the wind, the sound, and everyone far behind, and then enjoy the cheers that belong exclusively to the winner!

"...Why do I feel that Fengya's speed is faster than before the winter vacation?"

Saito Asuka, who was watching Aotake Fuga running on the field, glanced at the timer in her hand after she finished half a lap, and then murmured in confusion.

...Before I was 16 years old, I trained in my dreams.

Then, he suddenly remembered what Qingzhu Fengya said before.

Could it be that she was 'training' every night during the winter vacation?

Saito Asuka shook his head with a smile when he thought of this.

No no no, how is it possible.

Saito Asuka shook his head and put this idea behind him and looked at the black-haired horse girl running on the training ground again.

This was just a joke on her part, why did I take it seriously?

Let's first see how Qingzhu Fengya goes in her first training session this year.

……

Qingzhu Fengya leaned forward.

After turning the last corner, she met Asuka Saito standing in front of the finish line.

She watched as the other person raised his arms above his head, signaling to her that this was the last section of the track before the finish line.

The run is about to end.

Qingzhu Fengya sighed.

…I haven’t even had the pleasure of running yet.

The black-haired horse girl whispered in her heart.

"...Fengya, did you really not do any self-training during the winter vacation?"

On the other side, Asuka Saito, who stopped the timer, looked at the time displayed on his phone with a surprised expression on his face.

This result...if I remember correctly, it seems to be a second or two faster than her previous best result?

"Oops? Trainer, don't you believe me?"

Qingzhu Fengya said with a smile: "...If you don't believe me, trainer, then you can ask the uncles and aunts who live near my home."

"They just asked my trainer yesterday when you would come to play at my place again."

"I will definitely go next time. I will definitely go next time."

Saito Asuka looked away while laughing.

...Last time he had something to do, so he thought he would pick up Qingzhu Fengya, who was going home, along the way.

But what she didn't expect was... the people who lived on the same street as Fengya would be so enthusiastic.

After seeing Qingzhu Fengya get off the stranger's car, they all gathered around her, just like her real father and mother, and greeted her.

After learning his identity from the black-haired horse girl, they gathered around him with smiles on their faces.

...If he hadn't used the excuse of 'I have something else to do' to escape, he wouldn't have known how long he would have been blocked by the enthusiastic people on that street.

"Definitely next time..."

After hearing Saito Asuka say this, Qingzhu Fengya narrowed his eyes and teased: "It seems... your uncles and aunts left a deep impression on you last time?"

"..."

Saito Asuka said nothing, with a helpless smile on his face.

...How could you not be impressed?

Thinking of the expressions on the faces of his uncles and aunts when he saw Qingzhu Fengya getting out of his car that day, Saito Asuka couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that."

Saito Asuka walked up to Qingzhu Fengya and handed the phone to her eyes: "...take a look at this first."

"This? What's wrong?"

After staring at the stopped time on his phone for a few seconds, Aotake Fuga, who did not wait for Saito Asuka's follow-up explanation, blinked inexplicably, "...Is there anything wrong with this time?"

"Of course there is a problem!"

Seeing Qingzhu Fengya looking at him with a puzzled look, Saito Asuka immediately switched the phone screen to the browser.

Under Qingzhu Fengya's puzzled gaze, Saito Asuka, who found what he wanted her to see, once again put the phone in front of her eyes.

"If you don't know what that means, look at this."

"Is this... the result of the previous winners of the Satsuki Prize?"

Looking at the winner's results listed on the website, Qingzhu Fengya raised her head and looked at the trainer again: "...What's wrong?"

"Haven't you reacted yet?"

Saito Asuka was helpless: "Your time in the 2000 meters just now was 2:01.98."

"Oh, that's what it means."

Qingzhu Fengya suddenly realized: "...Trainer, do you want to say that my results are very close to the winning results of previous winners of the Satsuki Prize?"

"That's right, but..."

Saito Asuka took back his mobile phone: "...I think it will be difficult for you to win the Satsuki Award with your current results."

"After all, she will also participate in this year's Satsuki Appreciation of the East China Sea Emperor. We have to make more preparations."

"That means I have to run a little faster, right?"

"……Correct."

Saito Asuka nodded: "I want to try to increase your possibility of winning before the Satsuki Festival starts."

Please save this school that is about to be abandoned! : Chapter 115: I’ll try my best

"Oh... it turns out that I am most fulfilled when I am in school."

After the training, Qingzhu Fengya took the towel handed by Saito Asuka, wiped the sweat running down his face, and said with a smile to the trainer standing in front of him: "Thank you for letting me run to my heart's content this afternoon. Trainer~?”

"Is this enough running?"

Saito Asuka raised his eyebrows in surprise: "...I thought you would beg me to let you run a few more laps."

"Oh, enough running, enough running."

The black-haired horse girl's eyes unabashedly glanced at the water glass held in Saito Asuka's hand: "...After running, I feel so thirsty."
