There must be no problem with the youthful struggle story between me and the horse racing girl

There must be no problem with the story of youthful struggle between me and the horse racing girl. Author: Kobayashi Mito

Eclipse first, the rest nowhere

One horse takes the lead, ten thousand horses lose light.

Kazuomi Asama, an 18-year-old boy with zero experience or even a college education, left his hometown and came to Tokyo to find a job, but unexpectedly entered Chuo Teresin College and became a trainee trainer.

This is the stage where racing girls chase their dreams. As a newcomer, he stands behind these girls as a teacher.

Their stage, what is in front of them?

Run faster and further than anyone else.

In the larger world, at the end of the track, what can be seen in front of the other side——

The story of youthful love and struggle left behind by the meeting of a boy, a girl, and their friends.

The gorgeous color intertwined with azure blue and pure white,

That is the color of dreams.

This is a story of a newly promoted trainee trainer and the racehorse girls working together, trusting and relying on each other, step by step to the top, and become a legend.

ps: A novel that can be easily read and understood even if you have never played it.

Chapter 1 We are all just ordinary people

The dawn light slowly blurred the sky above the horizon, the melodious ship whistle sounded, and seagulls soared to their heart's content on the other side.

The uncle on the boat shouted loudly towards the dock, the salty sea breeze mixed with sadness spreading in his mouth.

On a small island in the Seto Inland Sea, 18-year-old Kazuomi Asama took a bunch of luggage and made his final farewell to his mother and daughter.

"elder brother..."

The little girl with short black fluffy hair held onto He Chen's sleeves with her hands, a look of reluctance on her face.Her cherry-colored eyes stared closely at Kazuomi. On her head, the girl had horse ears that were different from ordinary people.

The girl is exactly what people call a horse race girl, but she is only in her early 12s now.

"...Be good, my brother is going to Tokyo to study and work."

He Chen knelt down gently and stroked the girl's smooth black hair. Looking at this sister who was not related to him by blood, he gently smiled and said:

"Brother, if I become a trainer in the future, and you become a racing girl in the future, then we can be together often."

After hearing such a promise, a smile finally appeared on the girl's face.

"I agreed! I will definitely come to see my brother!"

"Well, it's settled."

This is more of a wish than an idea.

As a top student with a deviation value of nearly 60 in the national high school test in the prefecture, Kazuomi still had to make a choice.

After all, in terms of options, he gave up going to a public university that required high tuition fees.

Instead, he went to Tokyo to seek opportunities, in order to leave the opportunity to his sister, who is six years younger than himself, so that she can study at a good horse racing training academy.

The high training fees and academy qualification application, if you can leave these to your sister!

Of course, he had already negotiated all this with his stepmother.

"Miss Ayako, I have always been grateful for your care."

Like the girl, this beautiful and dignified woman is also a horse girl and Hechen's stepmother.

After his father passed away unexpectedly, it was his stepmother who raised them both up, so Hechen has always been grateful to this mother who is not his own mother.

In order to reduce her burden, Kazuomi himself proposed to give up going to school. In this way, with their own strength, the two of them might be able to give their sister the opportunity to study at the Central Horse Racing Academy.

Of course, Miss Ayako was obviously very sorry about this decision.

Looking at the grown-up Kazuomi, Miss Ayako knew that whatever she said would be useless.He could only look worried and nodded apologetically: "Have a good trip... Hechen, if you encounter any difficulties outside, you must remember to tell your family..."

"Oh, I see."

When the sky breaks at dawn, the whistle is long, and on a small island in the Seto Inland Sea, a boy named Kazuomi Asama begins his journey to study and work in Tokyo.

.

However, the reality is far from that simple.

Even if I have already prepared myself mentally...

But, when we really face it——

"Well, let me ask you a question first..."

In the interview room, seven or eight people sat in front of him at the same table. In this depressing atmosphere, he was stared at like a prisoner being interrogated.

An invisible pressure made Kazuomi unable to sit still, and his palms were all covered in sweat.

A middle-aged interviewer in the lead took the form that Hechen had just filled out, as if examining him, squinted his eyes and said with an unreadable expression:

"Why...are you wearing this for the interview?"

At this time, Kazuomi was wearing a restaurant uniform, with "Yoshinoya" written in big letters on his chest. This outfit made him look like a delivery employee...

"Um...Actually, when I came here to deliver food, I happened to see your company's job recruitment...so I temporarily filled out the form and information to participate in the interview..."

I participated in this interview on a whim, but it was only when I sat here that Kazuo realized how stupid he was.

How can anyone come to an interview wearing this kind of work clothes! ! !

I really want to slap myself...

This torturous atmosphere became even more deadly as he answered.

Several interviewers looked at each other, their eyes full of speechlessness and disappointment. Some of them even looked at his temporary resume, which could be said to have no interest at all. They dragged their chins and sighed helplessly.

He Chen saw all this, and his heart couldn't help but clenched tightly.

"You...are just now, right? You should still be a student, right?"

Suddenly, a cold female voice sounded. It was the youngest-looking beauty among the interviewers, but she was holding his resume and reading it carefully.

A woman who looked like a very capable professional elite, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was pointing at the column of information filled in by He Chen and asked.

"Well... I gave up going to school and am now working in Tokyo to find opportunities to study..."

This answer instantly made the woman's eyebrows frown together.She stared at He Chen with extremely sharp eyes:

"Are you kidding...!? What we want to recruit are elite training staff with professional knowledge and excellent academic performance... You have not even entered a vocational school...?"

"Yes, it is."

Regarding this point, at the moment when the woman exposed it, Kazuomi's heart seemed to have hit rock bottom.He slowly lowered his head, not even daring to look at her.

The other party was right, he didn't even have any reserves in this area, he rushed here purely based on his enthusiasm...

Even if he told the other party that he had learned a lot on his own, Hechen fell silent under the pressure.

"If we only recruit people like you who know nothing and come for interviews, then to the students you will be responsible for...what will this mean!"

The woman's voice became more and more severe. Although the other people couldn't say anything, the meaning in their eyes was the same as hers.

"Aren't our recruitment positions for you to study? Why will we give you college students four years of extra time to recharge yourself? When it comes time to work, all others want is your results."

"...sorry..."

"Well...Miss Tojo, calm down..."

At this time, the oldest of these interviewers, a grey-haired and kind old man, suddenly spoke to dissuade him.

"...Sorry, I was rude."

Probably realizing that she had lost her composure, the woman named Tojo quickly apologized to her colleagues around her, but then sat down with a sullen face.

"Hmm... Well, let's stop for a moment." The old gentleman squinted his eyes and stared at Kazuo curiously, "I'm curious about something. Why did you choose to participate in this interview? Just in case. First, let me confirm first... You should know that this is the interview venue for recruiting trainers at Tereson College, right?"

I couldn't help but recall the agreement I made with my sister——

That's right, for the sake of my sister, I have to become an independent trainer...

Even if it is forced by reality——

"Yes, it is!"

The old man's kind attitude not only relaxed Hechen's nervous state of mind a little, but also recalled his previous agreement, and his heart also calmed down to a certain extent.

"So...how much do you know about our college?"

"As the first professional horse racing college established in China, Treson College has many of the horse racing girls competing in major events coming from your school. It can be said to be the most professional horse racing training institution in Japan!"

"Well...everything you mentioned is known to ordinary people..."

On one side, a middle-aged man said speechlessly, obviously very dissatisfied with this answer.

"Yes..."

It is impossible to refute that his impression of the academy is indeed superficial...

"Ahem... Speaking of which... do you have a favorite horse girl? Or... the most memorable game?"

The old man crossed his hands and held his chin, staring at him intriguingly.

And these words seemed to stir up a certain fragment in my heart.

In the ignorant memories of childhood, the azure dancer's mask, the evening dress flying in the wind, are like elves in the dark shadows, and the horse racing girl is as elegant as a singer--

"Yes, yes!!"

Kazuomi, who was a little excited, almost stood up, "Although it was a race before I was born... But from what I saw in the video, one of the horse racing girls I particularly like graduated from Teresin College. ——”

"Oh...?"

After hearing this name, the old man's expression finally changed.

"The Nikkei New Year Cup in the G2 event! In that game, I was really impressed!!"

"Especially her courage when sprinting, when she rushed up from No. 7 in one breath - even though I watched the video, I can still feel a sad or decisive momentum from her body. That kind of running posture that is almost leaning forward to the extreme... no matter how many times I see it, my blood will boil! Even today, when I think about it, I still get goosebumps all over my body!!"

A fearless sprint, a horse racing girl wearing a dancer’s mask——

"Is that so...you actually like her so much..."

The old man slowly lay down on the back of the chair, as if savoring his words carefully.

"Yes!! Because of this, when I just found out it was from your college, I directly participated in this interview!!"

"However," the old man showed an apologetic smile and shook his head slowly, "I'm really sorry, that horse racing girl... After participating in that game-because of the bone fracture, her career was in direct decline. It stopped suddenly..."

"....Eh?"

The whole person was stunned and didn't even know how to react.

My hands and feet are cold, like falling into an ice cellar...

What happened after that, I never reacted to.After just a few mechanical words, he was asked to leave the room.

After standing outside the door for a long time, the final scene and the template language that could be called a cutscene slowly emerged.

Waiting for notification....

In fact, it is just a euphemism for rejection.

"...Really, what on earth am I doing..."

He scratched his head with some abandonment, and Kazuo shrugged his shoulders dejectedly.

The clock overhead was ticking, the sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and my heart seemed to be filled with unspeakable annoyance.

Now, I have to be reprimanded by my boss for missing work...

Looking at the food truck parked outside, all that is before me is the burden of worry in the hustle and bustle of the city.

"Clap!"

He patted his cheek hard, as if this could drive away all the distracting thoughts in his mind.

"I can't give up yet... I still have four years to go. In order to fulfill the promise I made with my sister, I have to find a way to become a trainer no matter what."
