Hachiman's POV
April to May—finally warm, comfy vibes. Rice's Satsuki Sho: no win, but board finish—solid. Maurice's New Zealand Trophy: 2 lengths ahead, NHK Mile C priority secured. Both on track.
Others: Arrow debuts next month. Sensei & Professor: "Body ready—real races polish her shine." Still drilling; they pace her—no leads yet. Their agelessness shows. Down from prime, but beating actives? Power remains.
Ardan: July debut. Year-long training—no leg issues. Current form handles load.
Undefeated Bakushin-O: first graded in Aoi S. 1200m only—insane runs. Losing's harder. Win there? Generational top.
CB… in Ireland. Why? Irish Triple Crown. Classic route normal—but Rice's on it; no interference. Plus, Pilsudski's invite.
Pilsud: "I'll cover costs—send your star to our Triple Crown? Tempting for you?"
Japan too small—perfect. CB hesitated, convinced. Then:
CB: "I snag overseas Triple—Hachiman first trainer with two-country crowns!! I'll crush!!"
Off to Ireland. This Sunday: leg 1, Irish 2000 Guineas. Pre-race video call—pep talk time.
Air Groove: stacking for summer Dream Trophy. No word yet—prepping anyway.
Fuji: Yasuda Kinen—most Takamiya rivals registered. Final lineup? Her fire roars. Hope no scary aura…
Hachiman: "Phew… that's it. Team's exploding. Debuts, graded, GⅠ, overseas—too much?"
Aoi: "TOO MUCH!! Hikitani-kun, how many shocks till satisfied!?"
Hachiman: "Why yell?"
Peer 1: "Aoi's right~ Thought calm—then overseas Triple!? Shocked."
Peer 2: "TV/papers huge: 'Japan Triple next—conquer Ireland!?'"
Hachiman: "…Didn't want classic clash. CB vs Rice—no."
Aoi: "But now YOU'RE trending hardest…"
Peer 2: "Yeah, Aoi nails it. Entry was…"
Izakaya with peers—private room. Entry: store silent 30 secs.
Hachiman: "That bad? Overseas common."
Peer 1: "YOUR vector's wild! Seniors usually. Classic class Triple—early overseas insane…"
Peer 2: "No buzz? Impossible. Jaw-drop loud."
Aoi: "How many surprises? Year 1 nonstop—exhausted?"
Hachiman: "Not intentional?"
Aoi: "We just got 2nd/3rd trainees approved—then YOUR overseas."
Hachiman: "Ugh, stop 'overseas.' Sounds criminal. Drink/eat—your stories!"
Public, peers… this much?
