I only have one year to live, so I must become a legendary horse girl!

Donna is such a serious and earnest horse girl. Not only does she serve as a qualified logistical horse girl during the competition, but she also silently contributes to everything for Gotham Anthem in her daily life.

In other words, if you say no at this time, it would not only deny Donna's current thoughts, but also deny her pride and everything she has done before, right?

There is no solution, so no words of denial can be uttered... I can only agree.

"I understand, Donna. It was indeed my fault. I apologize and promise not to bring up that thought again."

"But, in this room, I can sleep on the floor with a quilt, right?"

As a compromise, maybe this would work?

Gotham Anthem firmly believes that she must adjust her condition well before the game to avoid any accidents the next day. So with this idea in mind, she hopes to let Donna enter a state of undisturbed rest.

However, faced with such a concession, Donna's answer was still quite simple.

She just stared at Gotham Carol in silence, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.

Trainer, what you said is different from your idea of ​​wanting to change rooms?

Gotham Carol could only raise his hands in surrender, and then realized something else.

"So, Donna, we're going to sleep in the same bed?"

However, such words instead caused Donna to refuse. She looked around and pointed to an empty space on the ground.

"Of course not. I'll sleep on the floor, and you can sleep on the bed, Trainer."

Is it true that mutual understanding between people comes so quickly? Gotham Carol almost instantly understood what Donna had felt when she heard what she had just said.

"Donna, you're saying that since my important horse girl has a competition the next day, I'll sleep on the floor, right?"

"Likewise, I ask you to take back what you just said."

Just like you are proud of being a support pony girl, I am also proud of being a trainer...!

Is a trainer who lets his team's horse girls sleep on the floor when they have a game the next day still a human being? He should just sink into Tokyo Bay!

Donna was silent for a moment before she lowered her head and offered a fairly formal apology.

However, as soon as the horse girl apologized, the two horse girls in the room fell into complete silence.

They are stuck here, and it seems that neither of them is willing to give in. Unless a room with the same configuration is vacant, it seems that the problem cannot be solved at all.

But how can such a problem be so easily solved? Or, in other words, is there really such a thing as a problem that is so difficult to solve?

"Well, then we can't sleep in the same bed, right?"

After Donna fell into silence, or rather, neither of them knew how long they had been silent, Gotham Carol huddled together and whispered these words. But unexpectedly, as if she was waiting, Donna nodded quickly and without hesitation.

"I do not mind."

See, it’s not true...you, you, you, you’d better mind it!

Gotham Carol was shocked. She looked into Donna's eyes, but only saw a serious look in them.

She wasn't joking, she really didn't mind...!

This discovery made Gotham Carol lose all her ability to speak for a moment. She could only look at the dark sky outside the window, praying for a miracle as if she was looking for a temporary idea.

Please, three goddesses, please ask the neighbors to check out suddenly at this time. I will do anything.

"Isn't it possible? Trainer?"

It was actually not very early when the two of them arrived at the hotel. Gotham Carol spent the entire afternoon helping Donna get used to every detail of the Tokyo Racecourse.

Although it seems that she hasn't been to the Gotham Carol for a long time, the venue of the Oaks Tournament is actually not much different from the Japanese Derby, so she still has some experience.

So it was already late when the two of them were talking, at least according to the normal game schedule, it was time to rest.

The first thing they both did when they entered the room was to take a shower and change into pajamas...!

Don't ask, the answer is Donna's mandatory requirement, otherwise why was she folding clothes just now.

"No, won't it affect Donna's condition tomorrow?"

"Why would that be?"

Donna was unusually confused. She didn't think sleeping in the same bed with Gotham Carol would affect her condition, or rather...

Sleeping with the trainer makes me feel like I'll be invincible tomorrow. This intuition shouldn't be wrong, right?

After thinking carefully and finding that there could be no other variables, Gotham Carol could only close her eyes helplessly, crawl into the bed in her thin nightgown, and then think about nothing else.

It's a big deal! The team's horse girl is teaching the trainer a lesson!

It’s time to teach Donna a lesson after the game - if she dares to disobey this time, Gotham Ode will never dare to do anything next time!

Donna also clearly understood what Gotham Carol meant, and then she also crawled into the quilt, clasped her hands in front of her and looked at Gotham Carol.

Being stared at by such a scorching gaze, Gotham Carol naturally couldn't fall asleep. She looked over in the dim light.

"It's really getting late if you don't go to bed now, Donna?"

"Just for a moment. I want to look at the trainer."

What... I'm not some dazzling treasure, what's so good about me?

Gotham Carol actually knew this. Normally, Donna would sometimes squat down and stare at her cheek quietly for a while before waking her up.

Is this considered a blatant formalization, Donna, you...

"You are the most shining one in my eyes, Trainer?"

"Forehead…"

"Rather, it's because I admire your strength, Trainer-sama, that I'm willing to stay by your side even as a support ponygirl."

This kid, why did you say something like this so suddenly...

Gotham Carol was completely confused, but the next second before she could say anything, Donna hugged her arms and seemed not to want to let go.

"The days I long for with you are wonderful, filled with joy. So, even if it's considered selfish, Donna, can I hope that you will remain strong forever?"

If it were the trainer, perhaps Donna would be willing to chase his footsteps and back like this for the rest of her life?

So even if it's selfish, even if it brings any bad opinions, Donna still hopes that the glory of Gotham Carol will never go out.

That seemed like the glory that she could pursue for her entire life...!

Chapter 213: Trainer

So, why does this happen?

When she woke up from Donna's arms the next morning, Gotham Carol still seemed to have not reacted. She was still thinking about everything that happened yesterday, especially what happened at night. After a long time, she could not find a good explanation and finally could only sigh helplessly.

How to describe her current mood?

It was like my own child had finally grown up. That strange and complicated mixture of emotions... Never mind. There was nothing wrong with what Donna said. If anything, as long as her sleep quality didn't deteriorate, there seemed to be nothing to worry about...

Who knows if this child’s sleep quality will improve!

Shouldn't such a strange thing happen?

He couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard he tried, Gotham Carol finally gave up thinking about it, then looked at the ceiling, waiting for the horse girl beside him to wake up.

In fact, according to her original plan, she could only get up earlier to help Donna get everything she needed.

But unexpectedly, when he woke up the next day, he found himself in the arms of the horse girl from his team. Obviously, if he tried to break free, he would wake up Donna too early.

What's more, if what Donna said yesterday was true, asking herself, an active-duty horse girl who was being taken care of, to be on duty as a logistics horse girl would be considered an act of trampling on one's pride.

So sometimes it is not that difficult for people to understand each other. As long as they have the same unacceptable things, they can easily understand each other.

That being said, Gotham Carol was still quite helpless, especially since she woke up very early.

In fact, although her daily routine did not seem to be very diligent, that was because she had nothing to do the next day and was subconsciously quite relaxed.

In fact, if you tell yourself before going to bed that you must get up early the next day, then what you have to worry about is never being late, but the possibility of waking up too early and not getting enough sleep...!

Just like now, she was trapped in the room, in Donna's tightening arms, and could only stare at the ceiling with her eyes open in a daze.

By the way, does something seem a little off?

When she fell asleep yesterday, she didn't seem to be in Donna's arms...? Gotham Carol thought about it carefully and confirmed this idea.

It seems like before I closed my eyes yesterday, Donna just hugged her arm, is that all...?

But when she came to her senses, she was already in his arms, with Donna's arm even around her waist...

So why, exactly? Why did it turn out like this? Now, it seems the only ones who haven't slept in the same bed with her are Equinox and that idiot Route, right? This is really...

I always feel that there is something strange about this kind of thing, but I can't tell exactly what it is. After thinking about it, Gotham Carol couldn't find any result and finally had to give up thinking about it.

However, even though she woke up very early, Donna's sleep did not end until too late.

Although the official start time of the Oaks Competition is generally in the afternoon, and the entry preparation time does not officially begin until after 12:30, there is plenty of time to have lunch before going, but in the end, Donna still woke up around nine o'clock in the morning.

After all, it was only nine o'clock in the evening when the two of them fell asleep yesterday. Almost twelve hours of sleep can no longer be said to be quite sufficient, it can only be said to be sufficient to the extreme.

When it comes to sleeping, it doesn't mean the longer the better. In fact, after sleeping enough, excessive sleep should be avoided for horse girls, because it will destroy the exercise state that they have been maintaining.

It’s right not to stay up late, but it’s not right to sleep too much!

After getting up in the morning and washing up, Gotham Carol pushed Donna to sit on the bed. She knelt behind the horse girl in her team, picked up the comb, and then held up her soft brown-red long hair.

Speaking of which, this is something she had wanted to do a long time ago, but she never had the chance. Every time she participated in a competition before, her sister helped her do this. But now, it is finally her turn to do this as an elder?

Donna's hair feels great to the touch. Although Gotham Carol has not actually cared much about the horse girls around her in this regard, especially she often expresses her undisguised disgust when it comes to combing her long silver hair, but as a beautiful horse girl for so long, she can still clearly confirm whether the hair quality is good or not.

By the way, the reason why Gotham Carol has been complaining about how troublesome it is to take care of her long silver hair and hasn't cut it off is not because she is a tsundere who says one thing and does another in this regard, but because some people think it would be a pity to cut it off, so they have been taking turns to help her take care of her hair.

Of course it’s Mejiro Aldan, Mejiro Takamine and Manchester City Tea House, and the sister group occasionally joined by Ryan Guangming.

In short, Gotham Carol really liked the feel of Donna's hair, but after touching it a little, she seriously returned to her original business, straightening the brown-red hair bit by bit, so that the hair, which had not changed much and was slightly curled due to sleep, returned to its former elegant state.

"This time, there won't be anything involving honor and pride, right, Donna?"

"Indeed... But please let me take care of Trainer-sama's hair as well."

Well... well, it seems that the army that protects Gotham Carol from having short hair will have another capable person.

It was really weird. Gotham Carol came with Donna to help, but she became the one being taken care of... But now that things had come to this point, she didn't bother herself any more about it. Instead, she gladly accepted Donna's suggestion and changed from being behind Donna to now having her back to Donna.

After taking care of the girl's morning, the two of them had to do something very simple. They had a quick breakfast, then put on their sportswear and went out for a short run along the roads in the city.

In fact, this is something Gotham Carol would not do. According to her own habits, she prefers to take a final good look at the relevant information of her opponents before the game begins.

But Donna prefers to run for a while without worrying about anything before the game starts. Since today's protagonist has such a habit, Gotham Carol naturally chooses to accompany and obey.

What's more, the main opponents in the Oak Tournament are two very familiar people!

The two people's jogging did not last very long, but it did not seem urgent. They just ran aimlessly along the road and the early morning sun, running wherever they could.

Maybe an hour? Anyway, it was around half past ten when we got back to the hotel. After Donna washed up again, it was time to get ready for the competition.

So, for Donna, what is the most important step in preparing for the competition?

Yes…

"Donna...? What are you doing..."

Gotham Carol looked at Donna who came out of the bathroom wrapped only in a bath towel, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although she had already thought that something like this might happen, when she actually saw it, the whole scene was even worse than she had imagined...?

While the Oaks Tournament may not be well-known internationally, it is still Japan's Triple Crown, a local G1 competition...! In other words, the horsegirls who compete in this tournament have the honor of choosing to wear the winning uniform.

As we all know, because the winning suit is blessed by the three goddesses, it is actually quite close-fitting and does not require any additional lining.

So... before putting on the final suit, there is no need to put on more other clothes. Like Donna, she starts getting ready as soon as she comes out of the bathroom. This is the norm for most horse girls.

Hmm... so what does this have to do with Gotham Carol feeling bad? Of course it does. Donna stood in front of her so openly, without any concealment...!

After spending such a long time together, Gotham Carol is quite clear about what type of horse girl Donna is. This girl will definitely not refuse if she says she wants to do something bad...!

Doesn't this seem even worse?!

In short, while Gotham Carol was daydreaming, Donna sat in front of Gotham Carol again. She did not hide her fair skin at all, allowing her trainer to see it easily.

Looking at Donna in front of him, Gotham Carol fell into helplessness - what else could he do? It was as if he already knew Donna very well, and this guy also knew her, Gotham Carol, very well.

After helping Donna blow dry her hair, Gotham Carol patiently prepared everything for Donna's victory suit, handed it to her, and stood on tiptoe to arrange the accessories and zip up the suit, thus transforming her pony girl from the state of just getting out of the bath into a majestic and powerful person who was about to step onto the field, with the courage and determination to compete for the championship.

Then, Donna stood up and turned around. It was a final check, and it was also a way to show everything about herself to Gotham Carol for observation - after all, such things are usually presented in the same way, right?

"How is it, Master Trainer?"
