The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

But now, she once again saw that familiar person standing in front of her, and he even made an invitation to her, inviting her to be his horse girl.

Am I...am I dreaming? Mi Yu found it hard to believe. The face of Kitano Ryuichi in front of her was exactly the same as the face of the person she had lost in her memory.

However, the person in that memory...should have been Miura Bourbon's trainer, right?

Why was he standing in front of him now? Mi Yu looked a little dazed, and subconsciously muttered, "Are you... inviting Mi Yu? Didn't you invite the wrong person?"

"Of course not, Mi Yu-san. I've been with you since the beginning. Although I'm a new trainer, if you're willing to trust me this time, I'll do my best to help you achieve even greater success than you ever expected."

"Miyu, you will become a GI-level horse girl. And it's not just one GI victory. Your potential is higher than you think."

The familiar words, especially the trust that she could win the GI event, instantly made Mi Yu recall the scene in her memory.

The next moment, in front of Kitano, he saw tears welling up in Mi Yu's eyes. After a slight pause, Kitano immediately became at a loss. He wondered if he had done something wrong to make Mi Yu, such a gentle child, burst into tears all of a sudden.

Just as Kitano was frantically looking for a tissue to wipe his tears, Mi Yu gently reached out her hand and grabbed Kitano's sleeve. She was crying with joy and now she tried hard to smile widely.

"Well...Mi Yu, promise."

"Then... Trainer Kitano, I hope you can agree to one of Miyu's requests."

As she said this, Mi Yu also smiled and stretched out her little finger, sobbing softly, "Please, don't leave Mi Yu. This time, stay with Mi Yu until the end."

"Promise Mi Yu, okay? Liars...will swallow a thousand nails."

Mi Yu had no way to retain this hard-earned happiness. She couldn't do anything to tie the person in front of her to her side...

Therefore, this was all she could do, and she wanted to use this oath to keep him firmly and cunningly by her side.

My brother...you would never lie to Mi Yu, right?

Mi Yu had such innocent thoughts in her heart, so when Kitano's little finger and her little finger were hooked together, she smiled so sweetly.

She thought... this time, the goddess of happiness seemed to have heard her plea in her previous life, and finally, this time, let everything start over again, and she... finally encountered her own "salvation" earlier than Bourbon.

This time, she will definitely not make the same mistake as last time and let the tragedy happen again. She will learn from Bourbon's lesson and will stand by her brother's side all the time, and will never let him be taken away by the disease again.

……

Mi Yu firmly believed that her bad luck had begun to slowly dissipate since the day she became her brother's horse girl. She spent a full three years with Kitano, and during these three years, Mi Yu and Kitano experienced a lot together. Mi Yu also began to discover that under Kitano's guidance, she was developing in a different direction from the past.

The first is the schedule. My brother knows very well what Mi Yu is good at. For Mi Yu, the longer the distance, the greater her advantage. Therefore, Mi Yu is arranged as much as possible to avoid competitions with not long enough distance.

However, in the Year of the Horse, where were there so many long-distance races for Mi Yu to participate in? Most of them were miles or short distance races, and even middle distance races were not very common. In order to reduce Mi Yu's losses, his elder brother tried his best to select races with a higher probability of winning for Mi Yu.

The results were remarkable. Although Miyu participated in only two races in the New Year of the Horse under Kitano's arrangement, she won both first place. In particular, Kitano deliberately avoided the high-stakes races in which she had suffered a crushing defeat. As a result, Miyu avoided her first bone fracture.

From that day on, Mi Yu felt that under the guidance of his brother, his misfortune began to slowly leave him.

In the classic year, although she did not win any major prize, in order to qualify for the Gaoyue Prize, Mi Yu participated in the Yayoi Prize and met Miura Bourbon again. Although she was defeated again, her third place result allowed her to begin to show her talent and gain her own fans.

In both the Gaoyue Sho and Japan Derby competitions, Mi Yu achieved better results than he had expected. He took second place in the Gaoyue Sho and second place in the Japan Derby. Both times he only lost to Miura Bourbon. In the Japan Derby, he was only half a head behind Miura Bourbon.

Such an achievement was enough to make Mi Yu excited and surprised. However, facing her brother who looked very calm and even a little depressed about the result, Mi Yu's excitement became uneasy again. After all, although she had impressive results now, she still lost.

"No, it's okay, Onii-sama! Mi Yu will definitely win the Chrysanthemum Contest! I will never let Onii-sama down again!"

"Yes, I'm convinced of this, Mi Yu. With your current strength, if you win the Chrysanthemum Competition, your advantage will be maximized. Bourbon's advantage in long-distance competition is not as great as yours. She's no match for you in the Chrysanthemum Competition."

"I just hope... before the Kikuka Sho, Miyu can beat Bourbon once in the Japanese Derby. That way... maybe people won't think that it was you, Miyu, who ruined the birth of the next undefeated Triple Crown horse girl during the Kikuka Sho."

Kitano gently rubbed Miyu's little head. He really enjoyed rubbing Miyu's head and ears, perhaps because Miyu was very cooperative. Coupled with Miyu's own younger sister attributes, Kitano, an only child before the time travel, really liked Miyu, who had younger sister attributes, and was obedient, sensible, and cute.

But precisely because of his love, Kitano doesn't want the past to happen again. He doesn't want Mi Yu to be labeled as the "villain" as before because he ended Miura Bourbon's undefeated triple crown.

Therefore, Kitano has very high expectations for whether Miyu can win the Japanese derby this time. In Kitano's opinion, if Miyu can win the Japanese derby, then Miura Bourbon, whose winning streak was ended early, will not be the next undefeated triple champion by the public.

Of course, Miyu, who won the Japanese Derby at that time, was given the title of "Derby Horse Girl" and perhaps surpassed the previously undefeated Miura Bourbon in popularity.

Of course, all this is just Kitano's idea. If Mi Yu fails to win the Japanese Derby, then what about the next Chrysanthemum Appreciation... Kitano knows that based on Mi Yu's current strength, they will definitely win if nothing unexpected happens.

But...if nothing unexpected happens, after Mi Yu wins the Chrysanthemum Award, her fate will still be to be regarded as a "villain". Such a result...is not what Kitano wants, and it is also the situation he is most worried about now.

However, Mi Yu was unaware of Kitano's worries. She just thought that Kitano's words were meant to comfort her... After all, in her memory, she did not defeat Miura Bourbon in the Chrysanthemum Contest. Therefore, she was not optimistic about her final opinion of the Chrysanthemum Contest.

But... Mi Yu doesn't care about these things now. For her, whether she can win the Chrysanthemum Award or the GI, these are not important.

"It's okay, Onii-sama. If possible, it doesn't matter if Mi Yu doesn't win the Chrysanthemum Contest."

"You can't even win the GI? Then what do you care about?" Kitano also found it funny and thought Miyu was just comforting her. However, Miyu grabbed Kitano's sleeve with a happy face and said, "As long as my brother is by my side, I will feel very happy even if I can't win the GI."

"..." However, Mi Yu's words also made Bei Ye not answer for a long time. The next moment, Mi Yu felt that he was gently hugged by Bei Ye. Bei Ye gently patted Mi Yu's shoulders and whispered, "It's okay, Mi Yu, Brother, I will definitely find a way."

Not only will you win the Chrysanthemum Award, but Brother will also let you win with pride and in a way that is recognized by everyone.

Being called a "villain" once is enough. Now that Kitano has become Mi Yu's trainer, the last thing he wants to do is let Mi Yu bear this title again.

There is still plenty of time, and there are still several months before the chrysanthemum viewing. Kitano still has a chance to gain a better reputation for Mi Yu.

"Mi Yu, your training will slow down a bit in the next few months. Let's free up some time to do something else, okay?"

"Oh? In that case... is it okay? The Chrysanthemum Festival is right around the corner?" Mi Yu hadn't expected Kitano to suddenly make such a decision, but all he heard was Kitano gently shaking his head and saying, "I have every confidence in Mi Yu. You will definitely win the Chrysanthemum Festival, but there's no need to rush. Relax for a while. Let's go explore Tresen College and other places."

"Okay, as long as it's Brother's decision, Mi Yu has no objection."

The obedient Mi Yu certainly would not reject Kitano's idea, but then Mi Yu asked curiously: "But, brother, what is Mi Yu going to do?"

"Mi Yu... Come with me to Tresen College and other places to make more friends."

At this moment, Kitano also made a decision, or rather, he made a bet that could change Mi Yu's fate. If he succeeded, then the reputation that had accompanied Mi Yu throughout his life might have a chance to change.

Chapter 242: Mi Yu's memory fragments: a fate that seems unchangeable

"Mi Yu has overtaken! The last 200 meters! Mi Yu has overtaken! Mi Yu is in the lead! Miura Bourbon can't catch up! She can't catch up!"

"Cross the finish line! Rice Bath! After losing consecutively to Miura Bourbon by a neck in the Satsuki Sho and the Japan Derby! I avenged my previous defeat in the Kikuka Sho! I won my first GI championship! The winner of the Kikuka Sho! Is Rice Bath!"

Accompanied by the passionate commentary of the commentator, Mi Yu won the Chrysanthemum Sho tournament with her absolute advantage. In this game, Mi Yu was unstoppable. With Kitano's support, she ran more easily than she remembered when she was running with obsession. She finally surpassed Miura Bourbon with her fast steps and won the GI game.

And at the moment when Mi Yu won the game breathlessly, she heard neither boos nor silence. Instead, there was an immediate burst of cheers that made Mi Yu stop.

Slowly, cheers and applause spread from that area to the entire venue, and soon, the entire racecourse was filled with applause and cheers celebrating Mi Yu's victory.

At this moment, Mi Yu felt as if she was in another world... Looking at the cheers from the audience, Mi Yu suddenly felt a little unfamiliar, as if she had never expected such an ending... But this moment really happened in front of her.

But gradually, Mi Yu's heart was filled with surging joy and the feeling of being recognized. She bowed deeply towards the audience, and soon locked her eyes on Kitano's position in the audience.

At that moment, Mi Yu smiled from the bottom of her heart. She was finally sure that her bad luck had been completely resolved.

"Look how happy that kid is smiling." Meanwhile, beside Kitano, Tetsuna Shungawa, still dressed in green, stood up and applauded, saying to Kitano, "You knew from the beginning that Miyu would win, right, Trainer Kitano? So, for the past few months, you've been building relationships with me, the chairman, and so many ordinary kids at Tresen Academy, just for this moment, right?"

"You knew that Miyu would win and would be blamed for ending Miura Bourbon's undefeated triple crown. So during this period of time, you asked Miyu to get along well with everyone and told them that Miyu was born into an ordinary family like them. This was to encourage everyone to support Miyu, right?"

"Will you blame me, Miss Junchuan?" Kitano also agreed with his own thoughts. During this period, he had done a lot of preparations for this day, just to change the reputation of Rice Bath.

In addition to what Junchuan Tezuna said, that is, to find more friends for Miyu in Tresen Academy and to improve her popularity, Kitano also took Miyu to many activities outside the school, and did a lot of fundraising and charity activities in Miyu's name, so that everyone could understand Miyu as a horse girl from a different perspective.

This is also to increase Mi Yu's popularity among the public, which in disguise increases Mi Yu's popularity and allows her to have better support rate in the next competition.

Of course, even when it came to the Chrysanthemum Viewing Festival, Kitano did not forget to bribe the commentator who tended to say nonsense when excited, and reminded her to be more careful with her words and not to say anything about how Mi Yu had ruined the undefeated triple crown of Miura Bourbon.

This series of moves, coupled with Mi Yu's outstanding performance in Gaoyue Sho and Japan Derby, where he was only half a head behind Bourbon in Japan Derby, made Mi Yu show his strength to surpass Miura Bourbon.

After many twists and turns, this scene finally unfolded. Miyu ended Miura Bourbon's undefeated triple crown. Originally, there should have been silence, but with Kitano's already prepared cheers, applause and cheers soon filled the entire arena, giving Miyu the accolade she deserved after her victory.

"Angry? Perhaps I should be, but after seeing this scene again, I just can't get angry at all."

And Sugawa Tezuna also smiled slightly. Kitano's honesty made her unable to blame him at all. She just clapped her hands and laughed softly, "You have sacrificed so much for your role as Uma Musume... How can I blame you?"

"However, if you don't want to use the rice bath bounty to fund your fundraising and charity activities, you can overdraw from your salary, Trainer Kitano."

"Your commissions and bonuses will be gone, and you'll only be left with your base salary. This will last for ten years. It's not too late for you to regret it now."

"No." Beiye hesitated for a moment, a rare moment, but soon he smiled with relief and said, "I'll have another chance for my happiness next time, but Mi Yu's happiness...at least, I want to see her realize it this time."

"Sometimes, it really makes me think that it's a wonder that people like you still exist."

Junchuan Tezuna couldn't help but sigh and slowly left the scene. And after that, Kitano didn't know why, when he received his next month's salary, the bonus and commission were indeed gone, but his salary was doubled...

Since the Chrysanthemum Festival, thanks to Kitano's efforts, Miyu has truly ceased to be labeled a "villain." This change has resulted in both Miyu and Kitano feeling they have successfully changed their fates, and everything has improved.

But soon, this joy did not last long. After the victory in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation, it was not known whether Mi Yu was a little too proud or Kitano himself was too relaxed. They planned to withstand the pursuit together, but they were soon hit head-on.

At the Arima Kinen that same year, Miyu only finished eighth, a result that calmed Kitano down for a moment. Miyu's reputation was also somewhat affected by the fact that she was the most popular competitor, but only managed to finish this way.

Gradually, some people began to realize that Mi Yu's victory in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation was just a coincidence. In order to prevent his changes from failing, Kitano let Mi Yu participate in two gii competitions in the second year, which ended with one loss and one win.

But at the following Spring Emperor's Award...Mi Yu had a dispute with Kitano, because Mi Yu had to face Mejiro McQueen, the king of long distance!

Facing this powerful enemy, Mi Yu and Kitano discovered that they had different opinions. Mi Yu wanted to challenge McQueen, but knew that it was impossible to defeat the opponent with his own strength, unless Kitano made him accept a high-intensity training mode, perhaps he would still be able to fight.

However, Kitano refused, and even sternly rejected, the high-intensity training required by Mi Yu.

"Put aside your devilish training! Mi Yu! I won't train you with such self-destructive methods! Never!"

"I'd rather you didn't win! Do you know how much of a strain this kind of training puts on you?! Don't gamble your future on a victory now. Losing is nothing. The real victory is being able to run longer and stay healthy!"

"What I want most is to avoid your fractures. As long as you can retire intact, I don't care about anything else! Therefore, I won't allow you to use the devilish training methods! Absolutely not!"

"Don't contradict me! Unless you want to go against me! In that case, either you listen to my arrangements, or you stop being my horse girl!"

——These words are very hurtful. Kitano knew it, but he lost his temper like never before just to stop Miyu from doing such a thing. For Kitano, changing Miyu's reputation was far less important than preventing Miyu from suffering a broken bone.

In the end, he persuaded Mi Yu, and naturally, Mi Yu, who had not undergone the devilish training, lost to Mejiro McQueen in the Spring Emperor's Award by a length.

This also led to Kitano's efforts to restore the reputation of Miyu, which was once again in vain. This defeat in the Spring Emperor's Prize caused Miyu's popularity to plummet again... Although he did not receive the title of "villain", Kitano's efforts were completely ineffective.

After that, Mi Yu also failed to win the Autumn Emperor's Award. Soon, the three-year period was about to come, and Mi Yu had only one year left to win, and now she only had one GI long-distance championship.

The only consolation was that Miyu hadn't suffered a single bone fracture so far. Kitano also felt that letting Miyu retire safely like this... might not be a bad idea. At least, she could get through the rest of her life without any illness or disaster.

At this time, Kitano received a summons from the chairman, and the reason for summoning him and Miyu was about Miyu's welfare as GI Victory Uma Musume after graduation.

But on this issue, Mi Yu and Kitano received a notice, which caused Kitano and Mi Yu to have different opinions again.

"What is a welfare level? Chairman? I've never heard of this before."

"Of course! Since this is Trainer Kitano's first time as a trainer, it's normal that he hasn't heard of this." The chairman nodded and immediately said, "This is a regulation regarding the benefits of GI-winning horse girls. The JRA strongly encourages the all-round development of horse girls, and therefore has regulations regarding the retirement benefits of GI-winning horse girls. The retirement benefits for horse girls who have won two or more GI races at different distances are significantly different from those for those who have only won one GI race. Therefore, I'm here to remind you whether you want to continue studying abroad and race for another year."

"Benefits! This retirement benefit not only relates to the post-retirement life of the horse girl, the benefits and medical care she enjoys, etc., but can even be passed on to her descendants. In other words, if the descendants of a GI champion of two or more distances have a horse girl, her children can enter Tresen College earlier and receive more focused training."

"For example! Reaching the level of the Emperor of the East Sea is not impossible! Of course, the decision is in your hands. I am just reminding you."

"Of course..." Kitano, who knew the future, realized at this moment that this scene was the time when his horse, Miyu, was about to retire before he traveled through time. Because he was only good at long distances, it was difficult for him to retire as a stallion, so he had to continue race walking, which led to a tragedy.

But in the world of Uma Musume, it actually becomes a retirement benefit, but these are meaningless to Kitano. He only cares about Miyu being able to retire safely.

But before Kitano could speak, Miyu noticed something crucial and immediately asked, "As long as there are two distance GI champions, Miyu, Miyu's children... can get better treatment?"

"Mi Yu is willing to postpone graduation for one year! Let's continue the race!"

"Rice bath?!"

"Brother, this time, please listen to Mi Yu, absolutely!"

Miyu obviously knew what Kitano wanted to say, but soon, Miyu immediately lowered his seat towards Kitano and said to him in a pleading manner: "Miyu, Miyu knows that Brother is worried that Miyu will get hurt. Miyu also knows... It doesn't matter if I retire now. Miyu has already won applause on the field once."

"But... Mi Yu still wants to continue, to continue doing something for Mi Yu's future children. Please—brother, please agree to Mi Yu!"

Yes... to do something for my future children. Mi Yu only said half of this sentence.

What she wanted to say was, what should she do for the future children of her and her brother... While she could still do it and continue to run, Mi Yu wanted to run again.

This time, the dispute didn't last long, as Mi Yu convinced Kitano. Mi Yu, who had delayed her graduation for a year, finally showed her true strength.

At the Spring Emperor's Stakes, he won directly after Mejiro McQueen retired, achieving a long-awaited victory in the GI, marking a successful comeback. Next, Mi Yu planned to strike while the iron was hot and set his sights on the next race, the Takarazuka Kinen.

As long as she can win this game, she will have won two GI championships of different distances, and her and her brother's future children... will be able to enjoy better resources!

But what gave Miyu a headache was that Kitano was very worried about Miyu's condition and tried his best to get Miyu to avoid the Takarazuka Memorial. For this reason, they had another argument, but in the end, they parted ways unhappily due to Miyu's insistence and Kitano's uncompromising attitude.

However, Mi Yu still insisted on participating in the Takarazuka Kinen in his own name, and submitted the list directly, bypassing Kitano's trainer authority.

For this purpose, she specially asked several of her good friends and Miura Bourbon, who had retired due to injury, to stop Kitano and distract her attention. She wanted to finish the Takarazuka Kinen while Kitano was still not reacting. In this way, her and her brother's happy life in the future would be guaranteed!

But when Kitano discovered all this, it was already too late.

"Mi Yu! Something happened to Mi Yu! Mi Yu fell! Mi Yu number 16! She fell on the racecourse! Is she okay?!"

"Mi Yu's retirement battle—Mi Yu collapsed on the road to her retirement battle. Why did this happen?! Mi Yu hugged her leg in pain. Did she break a bone?!"

everything is over.

When Kitano finally arrived at the racecourse and witnessed Mi Yu falling and breaking his bones on the racecourse, he knew that everything was over.

He closed his eyes in pain, but kept running towards the inside of the stadium. At this moment, he knew everything and he still couldn't change it.
