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

Although Ikezoe has great confidence in the Gold Master, the Gold Master's strength is still unstable, which makes Ikezoe very nervous, fearing that the Gold Master will perform another Hanshin Big Laughing Point operation.

But Chizon also knew that there was no use in being anxious. Instead of worrying, he should help the Golden Master control the rhythm of the game. He also knew about Wada's anxiety, and as Wada's good brother, he quickly shared his "exclusive secrets" with Wada.

"...So, your exclusive secret technique is this kind of weird play?"

"Hey! How rude of me! I'm just trying to teach you some incredibly effective training methods, so listen carefully!"

Meanwhile, Ikezoe, who was riding on the back of the Golden Master and controlling the Golden Master (presumably) with the reins, was also seriously introducing his training method to Wada. However, apart from Wada and his cute Makoto, everyone, including Fumino Nase, Kaigeki, and Ryutō, looked at him with strange eyes, which made Ikezoe feel particularly hurt.

Ikezoe was deeply hurt by the unfair treatment she received, despite her good intentions in teaching Wada, who was about to go to Arima Memorial and wanted to improve his unique methods in the competition between Good Opera and Rudolf.

While injured, he also felt a bit indignant. Why? They were all time travelers, and they were all riders before. But now, Senior Lang got a virtuous Megumi McQueen, a spoiled East Sea Emperor, and a golden ship that never caused any trouble.

And this guy, Hetian, is incredibly lucky. He found his ideal opera, a super-fit Nutao who wholeheartedly supports him, and a beautiful, icy assistant.

Why am I so miserable?! This isn't fair! Do the three goddesses treat transmigrators differently?! Could it be that even though I've transmigrated, the three goddesses still don't like my face?

Despite the immense grief and indignation in his heart, Ikezoe still patiently spoke to Wada:

"Wada-kun, this is a training method I used to develop the muscle memory of the Golden Master, so that he can control his stamina on the field based on my judgment. The effect is very good."

“I’ll demonstrate it for you now. You… um… don’t need to feel too much pressure. Although maintaining balance on a racehorse girl’s back will definitely be more challenging than before, I can stay steady on Orpheus’s back, so I think you can too.”

“…Trainer Ikezoe, to be honest, I have doubts about this training method.” Before Wada could speak, Fumino Nase spoke up first, saying, “A person’s weight is not a huge burden for a racehorse girl. If you want to train the racehorse girl’s endurance and strength, pulling a tire is more effective than this.”

"Furthermore, controlling the racehorse girls' judgment on the track... I think the racehorse girls themselves are better at this than the trainers, after all, they are the ones who are racing on the track."

"Well, hehe, just watch, Trainer Naze. This time, Wada and I will teach you a lesson."

Upon hearing this, Chi Tian laughed. A confident smile appeared on his face, as if he wanted to convey his handsomeness to Nase Fumino. However, Nase Fumino silently turned her head away and ignored him.

...Okay, this ice queen is a bit misogynistic. Ikezoe then remembered this; Wada had once told him that because of her father's divorce, Naze Fumino had a slight aversion to men, but she didn't usually show it.

But... fine, you can turn your head away, but why are you looking at Wada? Do you think my smile is an eyesore, and you want to look at Wada's face to cleanse your eyes?

Despite inwardly complaining, Chi Tian still kept his gaze fixed on the distance, his legs slightly shifting. The Golden Master quickly understood and assumed a running stance.

"Orphie, be serious this time. Don't embarrass me in public."

"...It depends on my mood," the Gold Master replied without giving a direct answer.

The next moment, with Chi Tian waving the reins, the Golden Master immediately galloped off. In a gust of wind, everyone except Wada, who had expected it, was finally drawn to the performance of Chi Tian and the Golden Master.

"It...it really works?"

Naze Fumino watched with some surprise as the Golden Master ran around the playground carrying Ikezoe. She noticed that her pace was much more stable than during the last competition, without her accelerating too early, and her fatal lag had also improved a lot.

More importantly, after watching several of Golden Master's past races, Naze Fumino could tell that Golden Master had a problem with slanting. Although it wasn't to the point of being a foul, slanting too often could lead to a foul and a loss, thus losing the race. Moreover, slanting would waste energy unnecessarily for a racehorse girl, which was a major taboo that had to be corrected.

Now, through the telescope, Naze Fumino can see that whenever the Golden Master carrying Ikezoe has a problem with running diagonally, Ikezoe pulls him back, making him realize his mistake and restore the correct running method.

Although mistakes are made occasionally, every time a mistake is made, Ikezoe will react immediately, and the Gold Master will also realize it and correct it. Such tacit understanding surprised Naze Fumino, who was seeing this scene for the first time.

As a trainer, how could she guide racehorses in their running style? Not only Fumino Naze, but even the Spectacular and Ryuuou on the side were stunned; it was the first time they had ever seen such a method.

"Hmph, Onii-chan is quite capable, you know. This is just the beginning~"

As if seeing through everyone's surprise, Makoto smiled and said that she hadn't spoken up to defend Ikezoe because she knew that her older brother would surprise everyone.

As if to confirm Makoto's words, as soon as Makoto finished speaking, the Golden Master, who had run two-thirds of the way, suddenly accelerated his pace under Ikezoe's command and burst into action!

This time, the Golden Master didn't use his aura to boost his speed; he only used his normal physical strength, but it was enough to give people a huge sense of pressure, coming from the Golden Family's powerful physique.

A short while later, another gentle breeze caressed my face, and the 2000-meter course was over.

“Amazing…” Naze Fumino was the first to react, belatedly clapping and saying, “That’s a really efficient method… Trainer Ikezoe, you’re a genius too.”

"If this training method had been discovered earlier, many racehorse girls could probably have improved a lot. It's really amazing to have trainers personally guide racehorse girls who aren't quick enough to understand, teaching them by example."

"Hey, are you saying I'm stupid?"

However, the Golden Master heard what Fumino said and was about to question her when Ikezoe stopped him and turned him around.

"It seems...it seems quite interesting."

Seeing this, Nu Tao couldn't help but raise his little hand and said to He Tian with a hint of excitement, "Trainer, please, please ride on my back too. I also want to experience what it feels like to be controlled by a trainer."

At this moment, Nutao, who was highly compatible with her own body, had already felt a strange sensation from this method. She suddenly felt that she might be very suitable to have someone ride on her shoulders and direct her in a race.

As for the trainer... for some reason, Nutao had great faith in Wada, feeling that even in the first test, Wada could perform no worse than trainer Ikezoe.

Just as Nu Tao spoke, before He Tian could reply, Hao Geju (Good Opera) was already standing on the track, waving excitedly at He Tian and saying:

"Long Er! Come on up!"

"—They're here."

Ultimately, faced with the call of a fine opera, Hetian agreed almost instantly. After giving Nutao an apologetic smile, Nutao also silently lowered his hand in understanding.

However, after lowering her hand, Nu Tao's slightly clenched fist revealed her true thoughts at that moment, which seemed to be not as calm as she appeared on the surface.

"This feeling... is really a bit different." At this moment, Hao Geju, who had already carried Wada on his back, was very active. Wada's weight was similar to that of Ikezoe, and although Hao Geju did not have the innate physique of the Golden Family like the Golden Master, carrying Wada was still not a problem at all.

"Alright, buckle up, Ryuji, I'm about to take you on a rampage across the arena!"

"Oh, come on, let's have a good opera!"

Chapter 202: Wada: So I'm still a debuff after all?

Riding a racehorse and riding a racehorse girl are obviously completely different experiences, but perhaps for the racehorse girl who has somewhat awakened her own memories at this moment, the feeling is probably similar.

Therefore, Wada didn't even use the reins for Haogeju. After riding on Haogeju's shoulders, Wada asked with some concern, "Is everything alright, Haogeju? Won't your shoulders feel heavy?"

"It's alright, Ryuji. For a racehorse girl, this weight is nothing compared to pulling a tire. Carrying you is as easy as carrying that princess from a fairy tale~"

"Hey, don't hesitate any longer, hold on tight! This is a rare opportunity to ride on the 'Overlord's' body, so cherish it, Ryuji!"

As soon as she finished speaking about opera, she couldn't hide her excitement and ran forward with Wada on her back. As she said, carrying someone on her back while running didn't have much of an impact on the horse girl. The only thing to worry about was that when she swung her arms, she would throw Wada off.

However, good opera naturally pays close attention to this point, so her steps are very steady, swift but also stable, always maintaining a relatively safe pace, giving Hotan enough time to adapt.

Wada was riding a horse again after a long time. He was slightly startled at first, but quickly regained his composure as a professional rider. After ensuring his safety, he relied on his memory to control the power and sprint of the opera.

"Trainer Wada, your performance for your first time is quite good." Naze Fumino watched Wada race alongside Hao Geju on the field and smiled as she nodded, saying, "Although you're not as skilled as Trainer Ikezoe, it's not bad for your first time."

Chi Tian: "..."

Naze Fumino's mutterings left Ikezoe, who now knew the truth, speechless. As a veteran rider, even if seven out of eight of your GIs are good at opera, you've forgotten your job to this extent after almost a year... Ikezoe actually felt that Wada had indeed become somewhat lax in this regard.

However, Ikezoe comforted himself with the excuse that "it's been almost a year, so it's normal to ride a horse again." Soon, riding the operatic Wada, he quickly completed the lap and skillfully dismounted, returning to the ground.

"Phew, it really feels like a long time ago." Wada couldn't help but sigh, but no one except Ikezoe understood what he meant.

“That’s right, it feels so good to see you again, Ryuji! I’m so happy too!” Good Opera patted Wada on the shoulder. After running this lap, Good Opera felt that a lot of the pressure on his body had been released.

It's a strange feeling. Even though there's someone on your shoulder, you have to think about whether you can keep your balance when you swing your arms while running. But good opera makes this feeling very comfortable—it's like some long-cherished wish has finally come true.

...Perhaps it was the influence of another version of myself? Good Opera thought to itself. Since the other "Good Opera" disappeared, many of Good Opera's memories have become much clearer. Although it still takes time to piece them together, at least Good Opera no longer needs to be troubled by the pain caused by fragmented memories.

"But, but I feel... when the trainer is riding on Good Opera's back, Good Opera's speed... seems to be slower?"

At this moment, Nu Tao, standing to the side, nervously raised his little hand and cautiously offered his opinion.

This time, Nu Tao wasn't saying it on purpose because she was jealous that Good Opera had cut in line. She genuinely felt that Good Opera seemed to be moving slower under her trainer's guidance.

"Yeah, I feel the same way. When Trainer Wada was carrying Good Opera on his back, Good Opera seemed... unable to let go?"

The Golden Master, who had now removed the reins and put her mask back on, and whose intelligence was now back on track, shared the same realization as the raging waves, nodding calmly and saying:

"When Hao Geju is with trainer Wada, he always holds back and doesn't run at full speed. Even during the final sprint, Hao Geju, even if you don't use your last leg, your sprint shouldn't be that slow, right?"

"Hahahaha! After all, my dear trainer is on my back. What if I run at full speed and throw my lovely Ryuji off?"

Good Opera has its own explanation for this, which indirectly admits that although it ran very smoothly, it did not use its full strength.

"Huh? Why don't I feel that way? I feel like I was running around really happily when Chi Tian was on my back."

"...That's because you're motivated to run because you're thinking about being left behind by me after you finish one lap."

Speaking of this, Ikezoe also had a lot of bitter tears to shed. But now is not the time to dwell on his tragic experiences. After watching the collaboration between Wada and the opera, Ikezoe couldn't help but say:

"It seems this training method isn't quite right for you, Wada... With you riding, Haogeju isn't able to unleash its full potential. In that case, it would be better to let Haogeju run on its own..."

So, am I still carrying the burden? Wada helplessly shrugged, clearly having anticipated this outcome. At his current level, he was indeed powerless to help the opera.

Good Opera has surpassed the limits of what Wada could comprehend, reaching a completely new level. Although Good Opera has never spoken to Wada about it, he knows it's because another "Good Opera" has disappeared; perhaps the two have become one?

In any case, Hotan really can't help Good Opera anymore. Rather than saying he's Good Opera's trainer, it's more accurate to say that Good Opera is indirectly teaching Hotan and giving this "newcomer" trainer more experience.

"—That's not right."

Just as Ikezoe was saying this, the opera enthusiast's ears suddenly twitched, and he turned slightly away, walked to Wada's side, and said very solemnly:

"Long Er is my most trusted minister! A minister should assist his ruler in advancing the country, and Long Er has been of great help to me!"

"Ryuu, maybe you're still a little clumsy the first time? Let's try again. Just consider it because I'm in such a great mood today that we'll definitely find that perfect teamwork again, even if you're on my back giving the orders!"

"Come on, Ryuji, come up again!"

As he said this, Haogeju bent down slightly again, indicating that Wada could ride on as he pleased, and that he would take him for another lap.

This time, Wada, feeling dejected, hesitated. But then, Naze Fumino nudged Wada's shoulder and said to him:

"Trying once and then not trying again is not what a good trainer should do, Trainer Wada."

"Try again. I'll be here timing you the whole time. I believe that as your teamwork improves, your results will definitely become even better."

"...Alright, but this time, good opera, don't worry about my feelings, just run as fast as you can, I won't be left behind."

Encouraged by everyone, Hetian temporarily regained his confidence and mounted Good Opera's back once more. Feeling the familiar weight, Good Opera's spirits soared again, and it turned to look at Nutao beside it, immediately saying:

"Raging Waves! My most beloved subject! Come up to the stage and compete with me! With your help, I believe that Ryuji and I can unleash even greater power!"

"Ah... okay!"

Nu Tao, who didn't know how to refuse people, walked to the training ground in a few steps. At this moment, looking at He Tian riding on the back of Hao Geju and Hao Geju, who was obviously in a "superb" mood, she felt that the scene in front of her was a little familiar.

The familiar sight... made her inexplicably a little angry? This feeling was something Nu Tao had never experienced before. Moreover, she felt that if she didn't run well in this training session, she would feel resentful.

...Since my fellow opera students and trainers want my help, wouldn't it be better to go all out? At this moment, a strange competitive spirit stirred within Mingjiang Nutao.

Chapter 203: Wada's Long-cherished Wish, the Voices of the Three Goddesses?

It has to be said that Uma Musume's stamina is probably due to the human body, which has significantly improved her endurance. For example, right now, Kogeki has carried Wada around several times, from morning until noon, and that's when her stamina was completely exhausted.
