Originally, Sakurajima Mai had been wondering where Kazuto Yuyama and Umi Tsuchima would go in the afternoon, but she didn't expect that the other party would stay in the library on the second floor of Kasuke Restaurant for the entire afternoon.
According to Mai Sakurajima's original plan, she was going to experience Hoshinoya this afternoon.
of the library.
As a result, I was unable to complete the afternoon experience because I was constantly thinking about Yushan and the people and the things about Doma.
But I didn't expect that Yushan Kazuto and Tsuchima Yui were actually in the library.
If she had known this earlier, she would have come directly to the library.
"By the way, the snacks in the library are pretty delicious."
As she walked down the stairs, Tsuchima spoke.
"Really?" Yushan Kazuto blinked, "I feel a little dry."
"The cookies are a little dry, isn't that normal?" said Tsuchima, pouting slightly.
"Yes, yes, yes." Yushan Heren had no choice but to say perfunctorily.
The two of them walked past Sakurajima Mai while chatting.
"Why do I feel like someone is watching us?" After sitting down casually, Tsuchima Mai suddenly spoke.
"Really?" Yushan Heren blinked, "Did you go crazy playing games this afternoon?"
Hearing Doma Mai speak, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but retract her gaze.
But when she heard Yushan talking to someone, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but move her gaze back slightly.
[It sounds like Kazuto and his junior are not in a relationship, but more like a superior-subordinate relationship. ]
"Mamoru-chan didn't!"
On the other side, Doma Mai retorted, but when she looked around, it seemed that there were only her and Yushan Kazuto in the restaurant, and she really couldn't find any other sights.

"But, maybe I was mistaken?" After looking around for a long time and still couldn't find anyone, Domama Yui finally spoke.
"Okay, let's order first, there will be more people coming later." Yushan Heren said.
Doma Mai pursed her lips slightly, glanced at Yushan Kazuto, but finally lowered her head and ordered the food.
On the other side, Sakurajima Mai breathed a sigh of relief.
She had never felt more than now that the absence of a sense of existence was a good thing.
When she retired before, she just thought that the lack of a sense of existence could avoid a lot of trouble, but she didn't feel too much of the benefits of the lack of a sense of existence.
But today, she really felt one of the benefits of having a lack of sense of existence.
At least when she needs to hide herself, she can avoid being discovered. Sakurajima Mai even feels that she can become an agent.
……
"Scumbag senior, Umaru-chan wants to sit in the library for a while."
After dinner, Domama spoke.
"Do you want to play games?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but give Domama a blank look.
"Komaro is just going upstairs to rest for a while." Domama Mei couldn't help but puff out her cheeks slightly and said in a low voice.
"If you want to go, go by yourself. I have to go back to my room." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
After all, in a resort, there is no need to worry about Doma's safety.
As for whether Doma Mei would be afraid when she returns to her room alone after dark, Yushan Kazuto had no idea.
"Ah? You scumbag senior, aren't you going?" Tsuchima couldn't help but pout.
"I can't let Sagiri starve alone in the room." said Hayama Kazuto, shrugging.
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly, looked at the stairs leading upstairs, but ultimately decided not to go up.
"Aren't you going to rest?" Looking at Tsuchima Yui, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but laugh.
"You can go back to your room and rest." said Tsuchima with a snort.
Only then did Yushan Kazuto turn around and head back to the room.
Watching Yushan Kazuto and Tsuchima Mei leave, Sakurajima Mai seemed to be lost in thought.
[The relationship between Kazuto-kun and that girl doesn't seem to be what I imagined? ]
[Rather than being a couple, they seem more like siblings. ]
[But the girl's words... may be of some interest to Kazuto-kun.]
Watching Yushan Kazuto and Tsuchima Mai disappear around the corner, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Only then did she come to her senses and order dinner.
……
After a leisurely night, the next day arrived.
After breakfast in the morning, Yushan Kazuto followed Doma Umi to the reception hall.
The racecourse is quite far away, and it would be troublesome to go there by yourself. It would be better to go there with the team organized by the hotel.
There were already more than twenty people in the reception hall, which didn't seem like a lot, but considering the total number of tourists at Hoshinoya, it was actually a relatively large number.
If there were no horse racing, normally there would be no more than ten guests going to the racecourse.
Everyone was standing in the hall, but they all kept their distance and maintained social courtesy towards each other.
With so many guests, Hoshinoya had to prepare several cars to accommodate them all.
Mai Sakurajima was sitting in the car, looking at Kazuto Yuyama and Umi Tsuchima not far ahead, and couldn't help but blink slightly.
She thought about it for a long time last night, but ultimately did not send a message to Yushan Kazuto. Today she wanted to go to the racecourse to watch the race and change her mood, but she did not expect to meet Yushan Kazuto and Tsuchima Yui again.
"Senior Kazuto? Why don't we drive there ourselves?" Sitting in the car, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but ask.
"It's more troublesome to drive there by yourself, and you have to find a parking space yourself." Yushan Heren said.
Generally speaking, for such competitions, admission is not a problem, but parking is very difficult.
For hotels like Hoshinoya that have a cooperative relationship with the horse farm, you don’t have to worry about parking issues, as parking spaces will be reserved in advance in the parking lot.
"Is that so?" Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink. She had almost forgotten how long it had been since she had taken a bus like this.
On the other side, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but blink. She noticed that now, Doma Yui called Hayama Kazuto "Kazuto-senior".
And yesterday, at Kasuke Restaurant, Doma Yui called Hayama Kazuto "scumbag senior".
If there is any difference between the two, it is that when they are in the restaurant, Yushan and Ren Yutsumi sit in a more remote corner, the seats next to them are basically empty, and there are very few customers in the restaurant, so there is generally no need to worry about being overheard when talking.
While on the bus, although each bus has been modified and only has seats, the distance between different passengers is still quite far.
However, considering the overall size of the bus and its closed space, other passengers can easily hear what you say on the bus.
[So, the name "scumbag senior" is a special name given by the girl named Kouma-chan to the junior Kazuto? ]
Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but blink and started thinking.
……
The racecourse is quite far from Hoshinoya, and it takes about 30 minutes to drive to the racecourse.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the bus is running slowly.
If you drive yourself, you can get there in about ten minutes.
When getting off the bus, each of the staff members was given two horse racing tickets.
Horse racing tickets are all in denominations of 1,000 yen, which is ten times the denomination of ordinary horse racing tickets.
You can place two tickets on the horses you like, or you can bet on both to increase your chances of winning.
This is also one of the benefits that come with the vehicle. If you go there by yourself, you probably won’t get such a benefit.
Yushan Kazuto and Tsuchima were walking in front, discussing the horse racing tickets, but Sakurajima Mai was following behind them with empty hands.
Her low presence played a role again. The staff on the bus did not notice Mai Sakurajima's existence and naturally would not give her lottery tickets.
"Senior scumbag, how do you use horse racing tickets?" Doma Mai walked in front and couldn't help but ask.
"There should be an automatic betting machine in the racecourse. Put the betting ticket into the machine, keep the cash ticket for yourself, and then you can place your bets." Yushan Heren said.
"It sounds a bit like gambling." Tsuchima whispered.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink, what sounds like gambling, this is gambling.
However, since this is the horse racing ticket distributed by Hoshinoya, there is no problem. If Yushan and Rento Tsuchimai buy it on their own, the racing farm generally does not dare to risk the public's condemnation and sell the horse racing ticket to minors.
Chapter 1985 Appearance Circle
"Scumbag senior, which horse do you choose?" Standing near the automatic betting machine, Tsuchima couldn't help but ask.
"I'm watching!" Yushan Heren couldn't help but give Tujianmai a blank look.
Since you want to participate, you can't just leave casually. You should at least know something about horses.
However, the participating horses are not famous racehorses, and there is not much data on the Internet, so Yushan and others can only take a look and make a rough estimate.
"I'll attack number nine and number fourteen later." Yushan Heren said.
Tsuchima couldn't help but blink slightly: "Then... then will Kouma-chan also play these two?"
"That's up to you." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
Doma Mai blinked slightly. She knew nothing about horse racing. After all, Yushan Kazuto had read some information about horse racing. After thinking about it, she still felt that it would be more appropriate to buy it.
Go to the automatic betting machine, select the horse and winning rules, and then put the horse ticket into the betting machine.
A few seconds later, a brand new ticket with the betting details printed on it was spit out again.
"What type of choice is this?"
Looking at the various rules in front of her, Tsuchiya couldn't help but blink her eyes slightly.
"Just choose single victory." Yushan Heren said.
Domama nodded. She couldn't understand the rest, so she could only choose according to what Yushan Kazuto said.
The single win rule is the simplest. In addition, there are many other types such as re-win, support, two consecutive, two singles, three consecutive, and three singles.
Of course, for tourists who just want to experience the two, such as Yushan and Renyou Tumazu, it is better to choose the simplest single victory.
Standing behind the two of them, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly.
Because of her lack of sense of existence, the staff on the bus did not give her any lottery tickets.
Originally, Mai Sakurajima didn't care much, but now seeing Yushan Kazuto and Tsuchima Yui betting, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
However, it would be inappropriate for her to ask the train attendants to get the lottery tickets, and it would not be appropriate for her to buy them herself, after all, Mai Sakurajima was not yet an adult.
Looking at Kazuto Hayama and Umi Tsuchima standing in front of her, Mai Sakurajima could only sigh and silently memorize the two racehorses chosen by Kazuto Hayama.
……
Although it was just a low-level horse racing event, the entire racecourse was still bustling with people. The Japanese enthusiasm for horse racing is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Yushan Kazuto and Tsuchimami were standing at the sidelines of the stadium, and they couldn't help but be infected by the atmosphere.
The position where the two stood was still relatively close to the stadium.
After all, Hoshinoya and this horse farm have been partners for a long time, and the other party will still reserve a better seat for hotel guests.
This can be considered a benefit of coming here with the hotel staff. Otherwise, with so many people, it would be quite difficult to find a good spot to watch the game.
Horse racing is not like football matches which last for a long time and are over in just a few minutes.
After all, this thing is equivalent to the human 100-meter race. If the horse is allowed to maintain such a full-speed sprint all the time, it will cause great harm to the horse.
Therefore, at this time, if you don’t have a good viewing position, the horse race may be over before you even see the horses.
It's already very good to be able to have a seat to watch the race near where the horses are released from the pens.
After standing by the horse field and waiting for a while, the stalls were finally opened.
This is not the direct start of the game, but the appearance circle before the game.
