Silence Suzuka's comeback could be called a miraculous resurrection. Not only did she reproduce her proud explosive escape right after her return, but she also immediately created a huge gap with the other horse girls, instantly regaining all the popularity she had lost during her year of recuperation, and her popularity immediately returned to its peak!
However, all of this, for Suzuka, who had just won her second G1, was just a passing cloud. The only thing she was concerned about now was her trainer, Kitano Ryuichi, in the stands.
That dream was still echoing in her mind, making her feel as if she had lived a completely different life... but the bits and pieces that flashed in it made her absolutely not believe that all of this was just a dream in a daze.
Not only because this dream was so real, but more importantly, now that she had awakened her past memories but still possessed the memories of this life, she recalled her past with the Kitano of this playthrough, and she immediately discovered that many places in it proved that her trainer also had the same memories as her.
If it weren't for the fact that Trainer-san also had all the memories of the past, why would he frequently intervene in her affairs? Even though they were just meeting for the first time, he was still so concerned about her psychological shadow, and even when she was out of control, he would block her way just to calm her down.
She knew her trainer was a kind person, and even a person who would sacrifice himself for the people he was familiar with... but if it was for a complete stranger, she didn't think he would do something so exaggerated.
And most importantly, what made her confirm her thoughts was—the Spe-chan doll he had given her was exactly the same as the doll he had made for her and Spe-chan in her memory!
This doll was a gift he had made for Spe-chan to find him and her easily after she enrolled in the future. He himself also had a pair of such dolls. And in this world, it was impossible for him to have known her and Special Week as before, and it was even more impossible for him to still have those two dolls.
Then, there was only one answer... that he remembered everything! About his past with her, their memories, he remembered everything!
That's why at their first meeting, she had felt a palpitation as if she had been sensed... so when she fell into his arms, she had lost control of her emotions...
It turned out that fate had already let them meet and separate once... it was just that in the process of searching for his figure, she had lost her way.
But fortunately, she had finally found him again now. And what made her even more joyful was that he, as expected... had never forgotten her and had been waiting for her here.
"Suzuka-san!"
"Oh!" And while she was sighing with emotion, a sudden familiar call made her snap back to her senses. Soon, Special Week, who had already rushed to the track from the tunnel, without even taking off her cheering uniform, came up and hugged her perfect, streamlined body.
At once, she also felt a strong fleshy feeling pressing against her. And at this moment, faced with this usual embrace, the expression of Suzuka, who had recovered her past memories, showed a moment of unnaturalness.
There was no way. The cold and strong Special Week in her memory... could not be matched with the gentle and simple-minded Special Week now. And although she was stiff for a moment, she quickly reacted and hugged the tearful Special Week back, comforting her softly:
"Spe-chan, thank you for supporting me."
"No! It was you who could do it all along!" Special Week also hugged her tightly for a long time before finally letting go of her best friend. However, her excited, tearful eyes were not just filled with joy and excitement, but also with many emotions that she could not read.
"Not just me, but Train—Trainer Kitano is also very happy!"
"...Trainer-san?"
With a soft call, her gaze slowly shifted. Soon, the person she had been longing for also slowly came to her. And now that she had her past memories, seeing him sitting in a wheelchair and showing her a familiar smile, she was once again lost in a daze.
And without realizing it, large tears also fell uncontrollably from her eyes. And seeing this scene, he also smiled and went forward, saying softly:
"What's wrong? Why are you crying like Spe-chan? Today is a day worth being happy about."
"No, I... I just..."
I just have too many things I want to say to you, but... now that you're standing in front of me, I suddenly feel that there's no need to say anything.
"I just feel... that having you by my side... is really, really good."
The sobbing Suzuka also refined all the words she wanted to say into the only sentence she could say to him now, expressing all her longing and bitterness.
And for him, he was also greatly moved by her words. He did not realize at this time that she had already recovered her past memories, but all of this did not prevent her heartfelt words from making him feel a little bitter and a little relieved.
In the past, he had not been able to accompany her to the end. He had left her world during her most difficult time. He didn't even have to think about how much damage his death had caused her at that time, and whether she, such a lively child, would do anything out of line after suffering the double blow of career and love.
What he was most afraid of was that she would fall into self-pity and never recover, and even more afraid that she would do something to destroy herself... but now, all of this had at least been changed in this world.
She had recovered well and stepped onto the journey again. And even her trainer was still him—now, what more could he be dissatisfied with?
"Don't worry, Suzuka. From now on, forget those fears. We will all be by your side."
Faced with the somewhat out-of-control Suzuka, he knew that this was her tears of joy after overcoming her fear. And faced with this scene, he also, under everyone's gaze, exerted a little force with his legs and actually stood up with some ease!
Because before she had decided to compete, she had become his contracted horse girl. Therefore, this time she won a G1 race, even though the Mile Championship was not a race with a lot of rewards in G1 races, her victory still brought him a considerable amount of lifespan—a full one year and nine months!
It was probably because there were enough famous horse girls gathered in this race, and her victory could be said to have broken fate. The lifespan reward this time was almost comparable to a G1 race like the Japanese Derby. Now, plus the success of Gold Ship's debut two months ago, and his remaining lifespan, he had a full two years!
His body was visibly recovering to a healthy state. Although he was still weak, his current physical condition was no longer like a terminally ill patient. He had finally regained the ability to stand and walk. Running and other movements might be a bit difficult, but he would definitely not be in a situation where he would be seriously injured by expending a little energy as before!
Now, he could definitely do acupuncture for his charges without consuming his lifespan, and many other things. This was the fundamental reason for his joy now. He could already see the hope of living, and the sense of crisis that had been hanging over his head had finally been eliminated a lot.
"Kitano (Trainer Kitano)?!"
However, his action was a scare for the horse girls behind him. But under their slightly worried and somewhat surprised gaze, he saw his steps steadily walk to the sobbing Suzuka. Faced with her dazed gaze, he took the initiative to reach out and wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"From now on, you won't be helpless anymore, Suzuka. We are all your pillars of support."
"We won't leave you. I swear."
This time, we will definitely not be separated again. He silently said what he thought only he knew, but he did not notice that in front of him, her increasingly trembling pupils, and her slowly revealed, incomparably moved smile.
As expected... you've always been by my side, Trainer-san.
At this moment, her irrepressible feelings were almost about to gush out. However, just as she felt she was about to lose control, her gaze unconsciously glanced at the group of horse girls behind him, and lingered for a moment on Nakayama Festa and C.B.
She knew very well that the past him was not as popular as in this life. In the past, he had had contact with many horse girls, but the situation where they all gathered around her trainer had never happened.
And she quickly realized the particularity of her this life. The reason why she would stick to his side was because she vaguely sensed their connection. Then now that they were all gathered around him, did it mean...
Thinking of this, her original sensibility was quickly suppressed by herself. The many words she thought only she and he would understand were also swallowed back by her. Now, she immediately changed into a smile of someone who knew nothing, had nothing happen, and was simply moved.
"...Thank you, Trainer-san."
After expressing her inner gratitude, faced with the gaze of a group of horse girls and countless spectators, she lowered her head slightly, as if to wipe away her tears, but she also took a step forward without a trace, and leaned her body directly against his.
Once again, feeling the heartbeat from her trainer and the warmth of his chest, the now-lowered-head Suzuka could not hide the blush on her cheeks. Fortunately, her expression could not be seen by anyone at this moment. Everyone just thought that all of this was just the most ordinary embrace after a victory.
And even he himself thought so. Faced with the leaning Suzuka, he did not have any extreme reaction. On the contrary, he took the initiative to embrace the slightly thin body of the horse girl in front of him, as much as possible to give her a little more sense of security.
And he did not know that his small action made the cheeks of the Suzuka in his arms even redder, and even her body temperature seemed to have quietly risen a lot.
"—Why is it always so mushy, honestly."
On the side, when Nakayama Festa saw this scene, she also grabbed her hair with some annoyance. But what no one had expected was that although she had a look of disgust on her face, she immediately walked forward in front of everyone. Not only did she not separate them, but she also opened her arms and directly joined their embrace!
She had not forgotten the bet she had made with C.B. before. If Suzuka won this race, she would have to take the initiative to hug her and him—this bet really annoyed her, but she still agreed.
And at this moment, she suddenly found that this seemed to be the best opportunity for her to fulfill the bet! She would not be seen by C.B. in an embarrassing situation of public execution, and she could also interfere to prevent that Suzuka from sparking anything with her Kitano... There were too many "sparks" around him recently, and she was starting to get annoyed.
And so, after a simple calculation of pros and cons, she chose to join without a second thought, interrupting their warm scene and fulfilling her bet at the same time.
"—Me! And me! I'm joining too!"
And when she went forward and hugged him and Suzuka with a hint of jealousy, Special Week also reacted at once and immediately joined the embrace just like her.
"Then I'll join in the fun too."
"Heehee! Then I'll come too! Grand slam~"
Soon, with the addition of C.B. and Gold Ship, the originally conspicuous Suzuka was suddenly wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, with only a pair of ears slightly exposed in the middle. This sudden situation really surprised her.
...But this is not bad either. After a second thought, she did not care about all of this. She had now slowly realized that she might not be the only special existence. Perhaps, there were not a few who regarded him as the most important person in their lives.
"Kitano Ryuichi... is really interesting."
And this scene, in the student council office watching the live broadcast, Mejiro Palmer also murmured to herself with a smile. Everything that had happened today had changed all her impressions of him. Now she was sure that his talent, if used well, would definitely have an unexpected effect.
This kind of talent... perhaps it can be used on that sister of mine. The corner of her mouth slowly curled up. The demonic smile and charm, at this moment, made this lofty flower seem to finally reveal the delicate color under the snowflake, so moving.
