Having trained real horses, why are we now training racehorse girls after time-traveling?

So touching! Ikezoe was so moved he almost cried in front of Shinki-rei. From yesterday until now, he had been kicked away by the Golden Master and then disliked by various racehorse girls. He was on the verge of a mental breakdown. At this moment, Shinki-rei, whom he had been longing for, finally appeared!

True love! As expected of the most obedient Zhenjiling I've always longed for! After suffering two days of grievances, Ikezoe finally felt a sense of "redemption" in front of Zhenjiling.

The best option to help him escape the encirclement of dangerous racehorse girls like the Golden Master and win GI to give the chairman an explanation has finally appeared!

Of course, Ikezoe couldn't say that his real purpose was to get rid of a dangerous racehorse girl. His mind worked quickly, and he immediately replied:

"You're really clever! I've seen your talent. I'm sure you're a top performer in sprint races. I hope to become your trainer and help you reach the GI stage!"

"I'm confident I can make you dominate the domestic sprint GI! I wonder if you'd be willing to become my designated racehorse girl?"

Ikezoe was determined to do everything in his power to recruit Maki as his personal racehorse girl, but his enthusiasm and confidence in Maki left her slightly stunned.

He said she has the talent and ability to run GI? She? Really clever?

"But... but... I've always felt that I'm better at being cute than running..."

……

"Huh? Isn't that that pervert..."

However, at that moment, the passing goldsmith unexpectedly noticed the commotion on the side. As she looked over, she saw Chi Tian holding Zhen Jiling's hand and bowing down in an extremely sincere manner.

"...Tsk."

For some reason, upon seeing this, the Gold Master smacked her lips slightly, a rather displeased feeling welling up in her chest... even she didn't know why she felt displeased.

"That guy has found his racehorse girl too, huh? I wonder how good she is. I'll find a chance to race her sometime and see," the Golden Master muttered to himself, his tone carrying a hint of fierceness rarely seen in him, before quickly leaving the scene.

She was going to run a few laps on the track to vent her frustration.

Chapter Seventeen: Chi Tian: It was all destined after all!

"Sigh, but Karen-chan thinks she's better at being cute than running~"

"Does Onii-chan really want Kallen-chan to go to the track and run? Oh well, Kallen-chan isn't really good at it~"

However, despite saying this, Makoto's way of addressing Ikezoe had changed drastically at this moment. From the seemingly normal but actually somewhat distant "trainer" at the beginning, it became the very intimate term "older brother". The huge change in attitude was enough to make everyone else feel abrupt.

However, this didn't seem out of place at all for Maki. As she herself said, Maki was incredibly cute, perhaps even the cutest in Uma Musume Pretty Derby. In this world where cuteness alone could earn more understanding and care, Maki was usually forgiven unless she did something truly outrageous.

The change in attitude and address actually shows that Makoto has recognized Ikezoe in her heart. She is not the kind of horse girl who just chooses any trainer. The trainer she chooses must meet her requirements and be someone she can "decide to stay with from the first glance".

She's so clever and cute, the kind of cuteness that even her trainer can be tamed by her, and that's true even when she decides to go to the arena!

"Onii-chan, do you really want cute Karen-chan to step onto the field, get all sweaty from running, and still have to maintain a cute smile? You're such a mean-spirited onii-chan~"

Even though Makoto had already accepted Ikezoe as her trainer deep down, she still chose to tease him. Makoto was determined to win over even her trainer with her cuteness, and she quickly launched her "offensive".

"Uh... Karen-chan, you really are cute, you always have been cute."

For a moment, Ikezoe was also a little unsure of what to say. After all, the image of Maki-nei after becoming a racehorse girl was quite a shock to Ikezoe. Maki-nei was one of the few racehorses that treated him very well, and he had imagined what Maki-nei would be like if she became a racehorse girl.

Perhaps she's the Japanese Yamato Nadeshiko type? Or maybe the type of a virtuous wife and loving mother? But he never expected that Maki-rei would be such a lively and cute high school student, and so cute that she's almost the kind of person you'd only see in a visual novel.

But Ikezoe is a trainer, and he hasn't forgotten his identity, just as he hasn't forgotten that Maki is a racehorse girl. No matter what Maki becomes, Ikezoe will never forget her achievements as a racehorse.

"No racehorse girl is bad at running, Karen-chan. Perhaps you haven't discovered your potential yet, but I think you have a shining quality that shines even brighter than your obvious cuteness. That is the talent of a racehorse girl."

"Perhaps Makoto is lacking compared to racehorse girls like 'Emperor,' but if someone says you're not good at racing, I'll definitely slap them across the face and make them think before they speak!"

"Kallen-chan, you can dominate in sprint races for a while. Few racehorse girls can compare to your talent in sprints. I am very confident that you will dominate GI in sprints!"

Relying on his memories, Ikezoe unleashed his bold ambitions without any pressure. This was not difficult for Ikezoe, after all, in his memory, Maki-rei was indeed very talented in short-distance races, and he himself had achieved five consecutive victories in short-distance races while riding Maki-rei, so GI was no problem either.

Ikezoe is confident that if he could achieve what he did the first time, he would definitely do even better if he did it again.

However, only belatedly realizing that he had somewhat misspoke, Chi Tian looked at Zhen Jiling, who was staring at him with a mischievous smile, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately said:

"Ah, sorry, saying you're really clever and talented in short distances makes it sound like you can't run long or middle distances. That's not true. I just think you're better at short distances..."

"No, no, no, that's not it. What I mean is that you can only win against GI in short distances—oops!"

"Hmph~ No need to say more, Onii-chan, Karen-chan understands everything."

Zhen Jiling, feigning a huff, turned away with her hands on her hips, looking slightly angry, and said in a huff:

"Anyway, Karen-chan can only run short-distance races that aren't popular. Karen-chan is only good at short distances. Karen-chan can't beat GI if she doesn't run short distances. Hmph, you really dare to say that."

Although Makoto was saying things that should have sounded angry, his tone couldn't even fake that anger. Even someone as obviously dull as Ikezoe noticed that Makoto's words must have a second half.

"...However, Karen-chan doesn't dislike her frank older brother."

As expected, Zhen Jiling's words suddenly changed, and as she turned around, she smiled at Chi Tian and said:

"Instead of flattering fans who think Kallen-chan can do everything, I like your frankness more, Onii-chan. Even the cutest Kallen-chan has things she's good at and things she's not good at. Let's shine where we shine, that's the right thing to do."

"It seems I'm really lucky, Karen-chan. I definitely didn't choose the wrong person this time."

As she said this, Zhenjiling proactively extended a hand to Chitian, and even playfully winked at him, saying in a very lively tone:

"Now let me reintroduce myself. I am Makoto. Although I am a racehorse girl who has not yet participated in the debut race, Karen-chan will try her best to shine on the racetrack."

"Well then, I'm counting on you for the rest of the time, Onii-chan~"

The clever girl didn't forget to give Ikezo a cute, angelic smile, instantly healing Ikezo's young heart that had been hurt by the Golden Master and all the racehorse girls.

As expected, Karen-chan is the cutest! No wonder she's his favorite racehorse!

"To be honest, if it weren't for Karen-chan, I would have thought that my face was hated by the racehorse girls..."

At this moment, Ikezoe was also somewhat moved. Facing Maki's somewhat confused gaze, Ikezoe quickly added, "Before finding Maki, no one wanted to come near me. I thought I wasn't good-looking enough for the horse racing girls..."

"Hehe, maybe Onii-chan really isn't as good-looking as the other racehorse girls, right?" The mischievous Makoto immediately added with a sly smile, but quickly continued:

"But it's okay, Karen-chan, I don't dislike Onii-chan's looks. From now on, Onii-chan, if you spend more time with me, Karen-chan, I believe you'll become even cuter, because Karen-chan has always been cute~"

So, I'm really not good-looking enough for the racehorse girls? The clever words made Ikezoe's initially delighted face immediately fall. He subconsciously touched his cheek, suddenly feeling like crying. He didn't know how his face differed from how the other racehorse girls saw him.

...But whatever, I already have Shinjiro, so it doesn't matter if the other racehorse girls don't like me!

Thinking this way, Chi Tian's mood instantly improved. He felt that today was definitely his lucky day. Meeting Zhen Jiling so quickly must be the best compensation from heaven for his pitiful experience yesterday!

However, what Ikezoe didn't know was that although it might have been an accident that Maki found him, Maki no longer thought that way at this moment.

Zhen Jiling stared at Chi Tian in front of her, but for some reason, the more she looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. The more familiar he seemed, the more she felt that it was all a preordained arrangement.

You'd better behave well, Onii-chan! Remember to keep your eyes on Karen-chan the whole time!

Otherwise, Karen-chan won't forgive easily. A slightly angry Karen-chan can become super~ scary.

Chapter 18: The Appearance of the Emperor of the East Sea

"Everything seems to be going well. The next task is to persuade the Gold Master to join Trainer Ikezoe's team. Can I leave this to you?"

"...I'm sorry, I can't guarantee I can complete the mission, but I will do my best."

Meanwhile, in the student council, Rudol and Qisuo were handling the council's daily affairs while discussing arrangements for the talented but unmanageable students of Treson Academy. Now, the addition of three new trainers seemed to solve many of their problems. The biggest issue was whether the students would accept them.

Most of the problems that even the student council couldn't solve at first, such as the racehorse girl Golden Ship, have been resolved. However, the biggest problem that has been identified is Golden Master – another troublesome racehorse girl from the Golden family.

"Sigh... Is there not a single racehorse girl in the Golden Family who can give me any peace of mind..." Lu Duo Symbol felt quite troubled when he thought about this. Having one Golden Ship was already troublesome enough, but now it has at least been suppressed. However, what should be done about the Golden Master? Lu Duo Symbol really didn't know.

"The Gold Master grew up in the Gold Family and has a nickname: 'Tyrant,'" Qi Kao said while refilling Ruduo's coffee.

"The Gold Master was timid from a young age, but he was very stubborn. Once he made up his mind, it was hard to persuade him otherwise. In order to cover up his timidity, he disguised it with a rough exterior."

“There’s a beast inside her, a stamina gauge, and once unleashed, she’ll be unstoppable on the field.” Rudol replied, sipping his coffee. “Currently, trainer Ikezoe is the most suitable person to unleash her potential, but we need some time to get them all to accept this.”

"When the time comes, take Bai Ren with you and see if you can persuade her. You can also try to get Golden Ship to persuade her through Trainer Jinlang."

"...I will do my best." Qi Cao didn't have high hopes for it, but still nodded in agreement.

But at that moment, the sound of running could be heard quickly outside the student council building. A faint reminder from Amazon could be heard: "Don't run so fast." Then, the student council door was kicked open with a "bang," and a sweet, yet flustered, childlike female voice immediately rang out.

"President! Something terrible has happened! Everyone's acting strangely! Everyone in Treson is sick!"

All they could see was a petite racehorse girl rushing straight toward Lu Duo's direction. Before the group could react, she threw herself into Lu Duo's arms, looking as panicked as if a raging beast was chasing her.

Both Lu Duo and Qi Cao knew very well who the visitor was. For the first time, a gentle expression, other than the "imperial majesty," appeared on Lu Duo's face as he asked very mildly:

"What happened, Your Majesty? What's wrong with everyone in Treson?"

"Everyone's acting so strange! President, please listen to me!"

The racehorse girl, whom Rudolf called "Emperor," finally raised her head, revealing a snow-white highlight that was very similar to Rudolf's. The color of her hair and her appearance were very similar to Rudolf's, as if she had suddenly seen a miniature version of Rudolf.

This racehorse girl is none other than the "Emperor of the East Sea" that Rudol has always longed to mention. She is the darling of the entire student council and even the entire Treson Academy, and also its mascot.

Although the East Sea Emperor's debut race is still a long way off, she has already attracted much attention at Treson Academy and in the outside world. Everyone is looking forward to her achieving the "Emperor" title, or even surpassing Rudol's symbolic achievement, and becoming a new benchmark for Treson Academy and even the entire horse racing girl world.

Of course, all of this has not yet begun. At present, the East Sea Emperor is just an immature new star race horse girl who has not even participated in her debut battle.

"Listen to me, President! I saw McQueen and Golden Ship training today! Raging Waves was also training with them, training with two new trainers I've never seen before!"

The Emperor of the East Sea said mysteriously to Rudolf, "I know McQueen has been dieting, but what about the Golden Ship? This is the first time I've seen the Golden Ship training! And with McQueen at that!"

"...Perhaps they suddenly had a change of heart? Their relationship might even improve." Lu Duo, seemingly already having an answer in his heart, still tried to soothe the Emperor of the East Sea, saying, "That's not surprising, is it?"

"But, but!" The East Sea Emperor said in a panic, "I saw Master Craftswoman at the track! She looked super angry! She kept running while she was angry! Nobody dared to get close!"

"I've never seen Master Sister so angry before. Everyone's acting so strange today, President. I think some kind of weird disease has spread in Treson! Could it be that some strange drug has leaked from Alice-senpai's lab again?!"

"...Normally, I would agree with what you said, Your Majesty, but this time it's not Alice's fault, Your Majesty."

Lu Duo Symbol found it both funny and exasperating, but was secretly delighted by the discovery of the Emperor. After exchanging a glance with Qi Cao, Qi Cao understood and took the initiative to leave the student council office, allowing the Emperor and Lu Duo Symbol to spend some time alone.

"Your Majesty, you must know about the three new trainers who have recently arrived, right?"

"Hmm? I know, right? They said it's the top three in the overall scores of this year's new Central Trainer Exam, right? I heard they're representatives of the most outstanding trainers in recent years." The East Sea Emperor, of course, knew this common knowledge at Treson Academy, and then tilted his head to ask, "Why does the Chairman ask this?"

"Actually, based on what I know now, Mejiro McQueen and Golden Ship seem to have approached the same trainer, the current chief trainer, Izanami. Although they haven't signed an agreement yet, I think it's close to it."

"The famous general Nutao is also the horse girl in charge of training in Hetian. As for the Golden Master... we will know later." Ruduo also kept it a secret. The matter of the Golden Master is still unclear, and she did not dare to speak too confidently.

"Sigh, has McQueen already found a trainer? I can't fall behind!"

The Empress, however, paid no attention to any of this. What she was most concerned about was that Megure McQueen, whom she had always regarded as a rival, had acted so quickly and captured the best trainer of the year. She absolutely could not fall behind.

"Okay! I've made up my mind! I'm going to participate in this debut competition and compete against McQueen! If I beat McQueen, I'll go find Trainer Jinlang first and ask him to be my new trainer."

"...Don't rush, Your Majesty. Your debut is still a long way off. McQueen will definitely debut before you. You need to wait."

"Oh no—how could this happen?!"
