A cute girl’s heart is capable of anything

"Then let's start now? The last training today!"

Qingzhu Fengya, who didn't know what Saito Asuka was thinking, said excitedly: "It's not too early now, let's hurry up and end it!"

"You are just greedy and want to have dinner."

Saito Asuka, whose thoughts were brought back to reality by Qingzhu's elegant voice, complained: "...Don't you want to rest more?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I've rested now!"

Qingzhu Fengya's tone was playful and bright: "Hurry up and start!"

"Okay, okay, wait for me."

Saito Asuka slowly took out the timer from his pocket, then looked up at Qingzhu Fengya, who was already standing on the starting line.

"Get ready... run!"

When saying this, Saito Asuka deliberately slowed down his speech speed, making Qingzhu Fengya wait a little longer.

Hmm...it should be 5 minutes now, right?

He looked at Qingzhu Fengya's speeding back, estimated the time in his mind, and nodded with satisfaction.

————The author has something to say———

I'm wondering if I should speed up one last time

Please save this school that is about to be abandoned! : Chapter 3: Preparing to participate in the competition

... As time goes by, Qingzhu Fengya's adaptability to the soft grass under her feet is getting stronger and stronger.

Along with the improvement in adaptability, Qingzhu Fengya’s finishing time is getting shorter and shorter.

"How's the grade?"

After running 400 meters, Qingzhu Fuga stood there and took a few breaths, then turned to look in the direction of Saito Asuka and asked.

"It's not bad, it's starting to gradually stabilize."

Saito Asuka replied casually: "But from my personal opinion, I think you still have a lot of room for improvement."

"In other words, can my current grades still be improved?"

Qingzhu Fengya asked.

"It's so good."

Saito Asuka nodded: "It's just that your recent performance seems to be close to saturation, and there is no obvious improvement in your daily training results."

"So... what are you going to do, trainer?"

The black-haired horse girl blinked her eyes and asked.

"How about going to the competition?"

Under the elegant gaze of Qingzhu, Saito Asuka said the words she had been waiting for: "Speaking of which, you haven't participated in a competition for a long time."

"Why don't you sign up for a game first and then find your status in the game?"

Saito Asuka suggested: "...You have also wanted to participate in the competition for a long time, right?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Qingzhu Fengya nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "...Then what competition can I participate in now?"

“As for the most recent competition, it’s the Birds of a Feather Competition.”

Saito Asuka thought for a while: "...but this race is only 800 meters long."

"It's so short..."

“But after it there’s the Saint-Loup race, which has 400 metres.”

"That's it."

Qingzhu Fengya did not hesitate.

"Don't think about it anymore?"

Saito Asuka advised: "What if there is a long-distance race later?"

"Trainer, you said 'just in case'."

Qingzhu Fuga, who was not affected by Saito Asuka's words, smiled and pointed out one of the words in the opponent's words: "Since you have already said this word, it means that there will be no more than 400 meters in the future, right? ?”

"You can't fool me like this, right?"

"..."

Saito Asuka, who was being watched by the smiling black-haired horse girl, looked away with an awkward expression on his face.

…It’s been seen through.

"Trainer, don't treat me like a child~?"

Seeing Saito Asuka's subconscious movements, Qingzhu Fengya said angrily: "I'll be done with it next year, right?"

"I'm no longer a child who can be easily coaxed by adults, right?"

"cough……!"

Saito Asuka covered his lips and coughed dryly after being teased by the black-haired horse girl.

"...But the Saint-Gloux Competition is a competition only for racing girls over three years old."

Saito Asuka looked away, trying to change the subject: "...With your current conditions, it seems that you can't participate in this competition."

"Eh……?"

The black-haired horse girl blinked when she heard Saito Asuka say this.

"Want more than that?"

Qingzhu Fuga, who repeated Saito Asuka's words, tilted his head in confusion: "...Then are there any other competitions that I can participate in?"

"Hmm... Are you interested in the Malawit competition after this?"

Saito Asuka asked.

"What is the length of the event?"

"Two thousand and one hundred meters."

"Eh...it's not a long-distance race."

Qingzhu Fengya's ears drooped when he heard this distance: "Are there no other competitions?"

"Um……"

Saito Asuka stared at Qingzhu Fengya's left ear headdress for a few seconds: "...Although the Zhuang Bai De Competition was held earlier than it, it is only 800 meters long."

"Then let this be the case."

The black-haired horse girl said.

"confirmed?"

"Huh? Could it be that trainer, are you hiding something from me?"

Aotake Fuga puffed up her cheeks when she heard Saito Asuka seemed to want to say something else.

"...If you keep saying half-hidden words like this, you will be disliked by others, right?"

The black-haired horse girl said angrily.

"No no no."

Saito Asuka waved his hands hurriedly: "Just to make sure."

"really?"

"really."

Saito Asuka raised his right hand and said firmly: "...Don't you believe me?"

"Well……"

Qingzhu Fengya stared at Saito Asuka standing next to her, the expression on her face became a little embarrassed.

"Hey Hey hey?!"

Saito Asuka, who did not miss the fleeting smile at the corner of Qingzhu Fengya's mouth, complained in a fit of laughter and tears: "...Isn't that the case?"

"Hey~?"

Qingzhu Fengya smiled playfully.

"Then...I'm going to continue training?"

"go Go."

Saito Asuka said helplessly: "...I'll try to see if I can sign you up tonight."

"By the way, when does that game start?"

"First week of July."

"The first week of July..."

Qingzhu Fengya counted on her fingers: "...there are still nearly two weeks."

"This is your first game after going abroad."

Looking at the black-haired horse girl in front of him, Saito Asuka said: "On the day of the competition, you have to work hard."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Qingzhu Fengya kept nodding his head: "I'm looking forward to the game that day~?"

"...Rather than looking forward to the day's competition, you are more looking forward to the racing girls you will meet on the track that day, right?"

Saito Asuka complained.

"Because...if I can run with cute and beautiful girls, I will have unlimited motivation~?"

Qingzhu Fengya said with a smile.

"Do you just want to be up close and personal with cute and beautiful girls?"

"Yup!"

Qingzhu Fengya nodded without hesitation.

"You became a horse racing girl just to meet more cute and beautiful racing girls on the track, right?"

"Oh my... Trainer, aren't you super knowledgeable?"

Japan's 'Absolute Undefeated King' nodded with a smile.

"..."

Saito Asuka had a lot of things to say, but he didn't know where to start.

"Okay, okay, let's start the last training today!"

Qingzhu Fengya clasped her hands together with a bright smile on her face: "I'm going to have a video call with Aldan today~?"

I also need to have a video call with Aldan...

Hearing Qingzhu Fuga mention this name, Saito Asuka thought of the blue-haired horse girl who had a helpless smile on her face when she saw Qingzhu Fuga unconsciously flirting with other horse girls.

...Thank you for your hard work, Aldan.

Thinking of Qingzhu Fengya's high popularity in Neon, Saito Asuka thought silently in his heart.

"Yeah, yeah, I almost forgot."

Saito Asuka, who was watching Qingzhu Fuga walking towards the starting line, suddenly remembered that there was one more thing he hadn't told her, and quickly called her out.

“The Malavite Race and the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe that we will participate in in the future are all races held at the Longchamp Racecourse.”

Saito Asuka looked at the black-haired horse girl who was looking sideways at him, with a serious face: "Because of the frequent rains, the venue of Longshang Racecourse will be softer than you think."

"When the time comes, we must allocate our attention."
