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

Upon hearing this, Mr. Naise felt a great weight lifted from his heart. This man in his fifties almost burst into tears when he received the news.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I have high hopes for you, junior. Let's have a good drink and have a good chat today."

"I'll see this through to the end, Nase-senpai."

"Haha, don't call me senior anymore. If you don't mind, you can call me uncle."

"...Alright then, Uncle Naise?"

……

"Those two idiots..."

Meanwhile, Naze Fumino, who had been eavesdropping by the door, listened to the entire conversation between the two. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she wiped away the tears of emotion from the corners of her eyes and murmured almost inaudibly.

She had never heard her father mention these things before, but now, Mr. Nase's frank words made Nase Fumino belatedly realize just how much her father had done for her willfulness.

However, the promise Wada made to her father later made Naze Fumino feel a little strange. What did he mean by saying that she wouldn't be wronged in his presence? She was not a weak woman.

"...But this isn't so bad, is it?"

Chapter 190: Wada's emotional intelligence was destined to face the scene of the woodcutter's knife.

"Well then, everyone, this old man won't be going back to Tokyo with you. I have to go back to Hokkaido first."

At the station, Mr. Nase had already arrived with Fumino Nase and Wada. Just as the Shinkansen bullet train was about to depart, he took the initiative to say goodbye.

"...Nase-senpai, it's been so long since you've come back. Aren't you really going back to Treson Academy to visit?" Standing to the side, Rudolf, observing this senior who was arguably even more senior than herself, couldn't help but ask somewhat nervously:

"Treson Academy has really changed a lot. Doesn't Nase-senpai really not want to go back and take a look?"

"...Let's forget it. If I, an old man, go back and take another look at that Treson Academy, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave again."

Mr. Nase smiled slightly upon hearing this, then turned his gaze to Wada and Nase Fumino beside him. After a long while, he nodded with a faint smile and said:

"Well then, I'll take my leave. Fumino, have a good time with your teammates and the racehorse girls at Treson Academy."

“I know, Father.”

Although Fumino overheard her father's conversation with Wada last night, her attitude towards her father hasn't improved much. Clearly, she doesn't want to show her concern for her father, probably because she's not used to it.

Fumino knew her father's good intentions, but deep down she still couldn't completely let go of some of the things he had done to her. Even if she did forgive him, the long-standing cold war couldn't be resolved in a short time, nor could it be easily changed.

Mr. Naze, clearly aware of his daughter's personality, showed no reaction, but silently turned to look at Wada beside him and said calmly:

"Junior, go with peace of mind. Fumino will take good care of you."

Also, I'd like to ask you to take care of Fumino as well. Mr. Nase had kept these words to himself, because he hadn't made up his mind yet. He had said something similar yesterday, but it was partly due to the influence of alcohol.

He still had some doubts about whether Hotan could take good care of his daughter, but at least he believed that his daughter would not be mistreated in Hotan's care.

That's enough. At least, Mr. Naise doesn't need to worry that his daughter will continue to waste her youth at the TV station, pursuing some vague and unrealistic dreams.

Finally, the middle-aged man silently turned around. At that moment, his already imposing figure, as seen by Hotan, seemed to have aged considerably.

"...Let's get in the car."

"Hmm." However, when facing Wada, Naze Fumino's expression was slightly unnatural, and she couldn't be as relaxed as she usually was when they were together. She just nodded sullenly and said.

At this moment, the awkward way the two interacted with each other made the group of horse racing girls on the side stop and look with slight curiosity, especially Good Opera, who had felt something was wrong since yesterday.

……

The train slowly headed towards Tokyo. This carriage was reserved for the racehorse girls and trainers from Treson Academy, so almost no one else would disturb them.

Most of the female racehorses had gotten up very early and fell asleep in their seats after boarding the train. The entire carriage was very quiet, with almost no other sounds except for the soft snoring of a few trainers.

The same was true for Wada. Wada and Naze Fumino sat together, with Good Opera and Raging Waves opposite them. However, Good Opera and Raging Waves were now fast asleep, leaning against each other, without any reaction.

“...I heard everything you and my father talked about yesterday.”

At that moment, perhaps because she thought everyone here was mostly asleep, Naze Fumino, who had been silent since the beginning, finally spoke. Her eyes darted away slightly as she tried her best to speak in a calm tone:

"Please don't take my father's words to heart. I am not a weak woman... I don't need a man to protect me, lest it give others something to talk about."

"And... about the Shetai, I only gradually realized later that Shetai wouldn't give me what I wanted, so I broke up with them. It has nothing to do with you, please don't get the wrong idea."

As if defending her last shred of dignity, Fumino Nase made some "detailed additions" to what her father had told Wada yesterday. However, although her face was frosty, her confidence in speaking was clearly waning.

Wada observed Naze Fumino's demeanor and quickly realized that this strong woman was trying to defend her dignity. Wada knew very well that what he needed to do at this moment was not to expose the pretense of this proud woman, lest she become angry.

“I know that Trainer Naze is an excellent woman, and a genius trainer at that. To be honest, I am the one who needs more care.”

“Trainer Nase, perhaps you and Mr. Nase both think I’m a genius or something, and now, Ryutō and Kogeki seem to have confirmed that for me… But in reality, I’m just an unimaginable mediocre talent. I don’t have your kind of talent. All I can do is help my assigned racehorse girls win as many races as possible.”

"But my skill level is still very, very far from good enough, so in the days to come, I may need your help more than ever before."

Wada wasn't lying. After the classic triple crown competition, Good Opera's level of development has now exceeded Wada's comprehension. Back then, Wada was helpless against Good Opera at its peak, but now Good Opera's strength has surpassed its limit and can even continue to improve...

You said you wanted Wada to provide targeted intensive training in opera—Wada can only tell you that he can't do it, he doesn't have that ability, you know that?

So, what Wada can rely on is Naze Fumino, whose skill level is higher than his and who is perhaps the most helpful to the opera troupe. Perhaps the opera troupe doesn't care much about Naze Fumino's conducting, but as long as Wada is there and trains the opera troupe according to Naze Fumino's training plan, the opera troupe will accept it all.

Therefore, this time, Wada needs Naze Fumino's assistance more than ever before, because he believes that his abilities are not yet sufficient and that he still has a long way to go.

However, while this was the meaning behind Wada's words, it didn't resonate with Naze Fumino.

As Wada said, with such typical examples as Good Opera and Raging Waves, who would think that Wada is an ordinary mediocre talent? In Naze Fumino's heart, each of the team's three trainers is a genius trainer who is no less than her.

Now, Wada's humble expression of needing her help left the arrogant trainer momentarily bewildered. However, after a long pause, Naze Fumino slightly turned her head and said calmly:

"...Are you trying to make me happy? Trainer Wada, you're surprisingly good at charming girls."

"This is the first time I've heard this. I only know that a month ago, a female trainer said that I was a trainer who had never been in a relationship."

Wada, upon hearing this, chuckled, a rare occurrence for him. Naze Fumino, her cheeks slightly flushed, turned her head away and retorted, "I was just deceived by your appearance... Logically speaking, shouldn't the better-looking people be harder to find?"

...Miss Fumino Nase, could she be the one who has never been in a relationship? At this moment, Wada raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but feel that Fumino Nase's reaction was exactly what someone who had never been in a relationship should do.

But thinking about it again, it makes sense. Since the beginning of Super Small Bay, although Nanase Fumino has always had many suitors, she has never been one to give the opposite sex any special treatment. In addition, after joining the club to study, she really didn't have much time to think about these things.

But at this point... it's best not to expose her.

Wada gazed at Naze Fumino, whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and a concerned smile unconsciously appeared on his lips. This scene of the two interacting was observed by the person beside him, who was pretending to be asleep, her eyes half-closed in amusement.

Sure enough... something must have happened between those two last night. Just as Good Opera was thinking this, Raging Waves on the other side stirred slightly, causing Good Opera to immediately close its eyes.

But whether Nu Tao was actually asleep... who knows? Perhaps she was the one among them who knew the most about everything?

Chapter 191: The Emperor's Plans for Arima Kinen

In the end, everyone returned to Treson Academy safely. Just as everyone arrived at the school gate, two firecrackers suddenly went off, and immediately, many racehorse girls and trainers surrounded them from all directions.

"Congratulations! Our excellent opera student has won the fourth Triple Crown Maiden title!"

Before everyone's eyes, the chairman and Surukawa Tsuna emerged from the group of Uma Musume Girls. The chairman was particularly enthusiastic this time, walking straight up to Hao Gekijo and Wada, grabbing Wada's hand and shaking it up and down, saying:

"Congratulations! Trainer Wada! As expected of a trainer from our Treson Academy, you've trained a triple champion even after only one year on the job! You've also broken the Central Committee's records for 'youngest GI trainer' and 'youngest triple champion trainer'! Trainer Wada, you've truly become a propaganda role model for the Central Committee!"

"Ah, and a great opera! The fourth Triple Crown Maiden—ah, it's been so long since our academy had a Triple Crown Maiden since Narita Shirohito. Now we finally have another one, hehe, we won't have to worry about enrollment next year!"

The chairperson was clearly more excited than usual today. After shaking hands with Wada and the opera enthusiasts, she noticed Nutao standing next to Wada and immediately stepped forward enthusiastically, saying:

"Of course—and you too, Raging Waves! You shone brightly! You even broke the curse of the Autumn Emperor's Prize, 'Monster in the Palace'! In some ways, you're just as good as the Great Opera! As expected of the 'Miracle' team, each and every one of you is a miracle!"

"Pfft." However, after the chairman repeated the word "miracle," for some reason, Lu Duo, who was standing next to him, seemed to have gotten the joke and couldn't help but laugh out loud. This made Qi Cao, who was standing next to him, suddenly shudder and subconsciously touch his head.

"Regardless, this is a day worth celebrating. I've already prepared a celebratory feast. Treson Academy, everyone gets three days off! To celebrate our new Triple Crown racehorse girl!"

The chairman waved his fan and announced some exciting news. Soon, amidst a burst of enthusiastic cheers from the audience, everything finally came to a close.

As for the next few days, any news from the outside world about Good Opera and Raging Waves, as well as about Naze and her father and daughter and Wada, was no longer their concern. With the competition over, everyone needed a long-awaited rest to recover and release the pressure after the competition.

……

Several days passed, and Treson Academy finally returned to calm after the revelry ended. On this day, in the student council, Rudolf was handling affairs as usual, except that today, she had the leisure to read the newspaper and seemed very comfortable.

"...President, you've been reading the newspaper during work hours for three days in a row. There's been so much news about great operas these past few days. Aren't you getting tired of it?"

Meanwhile, Narita Shirahito, though also leisurely slacking off, righteously criticized Rudo for taking a break from his busy schedule, saying, "It makes me think the news in the newspaper is about the Emperor of the East Sea."

"No, I don't think it's enough, Bai Ren. I think that given the reputation of the triple crown winner, the news published by these newspapers is far too little. In just a few days, the hype surrounding the triple crown of Good Opera has already begun to fade. This is not good news."

Rudolf did not criticize Narita Shirahito. In her opinion, although there were many members in the student council, in reality, besides herself, the only other person who did the work regularly was the capable vice president, Kiss. ​​Maru Zenki would occasionally come back to take a look, but only occasionally, and he didn't really help them with their affairs, acting like a senior who was idle and lazy.

After all, Maru Zenski has officially retired. Although she is still in Tressen Academy, she has no intention of continuing to compete. Therefore, she only comes back occasionally. Unlike Rudo Symbol, Qi Cao, and Narita Shirohito, they are very likely to compete again, but there is simply no need for them to.

After all, at their level, wouldn't competing in the field mean suppressing the new generation of ponies? For the sake of the new generation's growth, they only need to sit high in their positions and patiently wait for each ponies to grow.

But now, things are a little different, because Rudolf has sensed that a racehorse girl who could threaten her position is rising, and the upcoming Arima Anniversary will be the perfect opportunity for her to challenge her authority.

"—Chairman, do you think that such a good opera won't generate enough buzz for the upcoming Arima Kinen concert? Without a sufficient fan base, even if Arima Kinen wins, it probably won't cause much of a stir."

Meanwhile, the gas tank beside him proactively handed Lu Duo a cup of coffee, answered the question, and then casually asked:

"President, have you thought it through? Are you really planning to compete in this year's Arima Kinen?"

"What's wrong, you think I've been sitting in the student council for too long and have forgotten how to run?" Lu Duo asked with a smile. "I still exercise every day. Although it's less than when I was active, I haven't forgotten the feeling of running on the field."

"No, President, I believe that as soon as the news of your participation in the Arima Memorial is released, the qualification will be a piece of cake, and this Arima Memorial will undoubtedly become the focus of all of Japan."

Qi Kao shook her head. She wasn't worried about Lu Duo Xiang Sheng. Just as Lu Duo Xiang Sheng said, although they had been in the student council for so long, their physical fitness hadn't declined. They were still "Emperors," "Empresses," and "Blinding Monsters," which couldn't be changed no matter how long they hadn't stepped onto the field.

"But the problem is... what are your plans next? You know, the central government has been grooming and promoting you as the 'Emperor of Uma Musume'. They won't allow you to lose. Even if you're willing to hand over the reins to the next Uma Musume, the central government won't allow it."

"This is the central government, Chairman. This isn't just the station's intention. It's pressure from the central government."

There are indeed significant interests involved between the central government and local radio stations. Although people often jokingly say that "local radio stations represent the central government," in reality, these are still two different concepts.

Even if a racing platform is huge, it's still just a company. Even if it holds a 60% monopoly in the racing platform, it's still just a company. But the central government represents the entire horse racing girl association. If the racing platform puts pressure on the central government, the central government can refute it. But if the central government puts pressure on the racing platform... then the racing platform really doesn't matter.

Therefore, this is the biggest problem that Rudolf faces: she can't just fight whenever she wants, and she can't just take over the "Emperor" position whenever she wants.

"...I will discuss this matter with the people in the central government, but if I want to compete in the Arima Memorial Tournament, I need to finalize this first, and then I will ask for your permission later."

Rudolf, clearly having already made his plans, smiled and said to the gas tank, "Moreover, I'm not necessarily going to lose, and I have no intention of holding back. If the best opera still can't surpass my ability in the end, then I don't mind shattering the era of this 'overlord' within two months."

At this moment, a powerful aura, unique to her, emanated from Rudolph, a feeling that only a racehorse girl could evoke—and for a moment, both Qi Kao and Narita Shirohito shuddered.
