Megumi Zenshin, a horse girl who uses the escape tactic, was also not optimistic about the situation that the Golden Ship was facing at the beginning. In her opinion, if such a major mistake had been made, it would be almost impossible to turn the tide and win.

"This is going to be tough to win..." Megumi said with some concern.

"Seriously—that Golden Ship girl, this is a race! What is she thinking?!"

Megumi McQueen, who had been intently watching the match, hoping that Golden Ship could help his team avenge their previous defeat and thus had high expectations for Golden Ship, was so angered by Golden Ship's actions that he started cursing loudly, startling the Megumi sisters around him.

As Megumi McQueen's sisters, they knew that if Megumi McQueen really caught them off guard by something, she would indeed swear. However, this usually happened during baseball game broadcasts. At other times, Megumi McQueen remained the polite and elegant racehorse girl of the Megumi family.

As for Megumi McQueen's breach of defense this time, they could understand it. After all, as the biggest highlight of the match, everyone was expecting the Golden Ship to live up to expectations and win the match. However, at the very beginning, she herself set the difficulty to hell level, which really made people want to curse.

The Eastern Sea Emperor's initial confidence in the Golden Ship's performance turned into deep concern. She had no idea what the Golden Ship was up to, but she felt that even the Golden Ship wouldn't deliberately cause trouble at such a crucial moment.

As for why... the East Sea Emperor didn't know either. It was just a gut feeling, but she felt that as long as there was a burden, the Golden Ship shouldn't have made such a move at this time.

Or...did she do it on purpose?

"Golden Ship...Go for it! You have to win!"

For some reason, the East Sea Emperor felt even more nervous watching the live broadcast of the match than if she were on the field herself. She desperately hoped that the Golden Ship could live up to expectations and win the victory, and that, as she had said, she could encourage the frustrated McQueen to overcome his inner demons.

……

"Oh no! Golden Ship, you've dropped to sixteenth place!"

In the audience, the renowned general Nu Tao watched this scene with great tension, unconsciously immersing himself in the competition. He said to Wada and his group beside him, "Breaking through in this situation... is very difficult. Moreover, Golden Ship doesn't know [Aura] or [Domain] at all. I can't break through by relying solely on physical strength!"

"Ugh... The unsinkable Golden Ship, has it encountered a setback at its departure?" Good Opera thought with a slight frown. She had originally been very confident about the Golden Ship's performance in this race. Although she was not entirely sure of the Golden Ship's strength, she could vaguely sense its power as a racehorse girl.

She should be able to run at least GII level without any problem – that's Good Opera's personal assessment of the Golden Boat. But so far, the Golden Boat hasn't shown her special qualities. Of course, there are some, such as the Golden family's innate strong physique, which allowed her to catch up with the team quickly and then come to the back of the pack. But without a doubt, her stamina is more than enough to run a 1800-meter mile race.

"Oh no! We've been caught off guard! That big idiot, Golden Ship!" Golden Master shouted anxiously, wishing she could go on the field and compete in Golden Ship's place. With her strength, if she just released her [Domain], nine out of ten of those little ponies that could only run GIII would be scared away.

"So I was overthinking it after all... That Golden Ship guy is never serious..." Jotun from the East rubbed his head in exasperation, his eyes filled with disappointment, and muttered to himself:

"How is she going to win now... Everyone's here to watch her compete, even if she doesn't care about her reputation, she shouldn't perform so badly! Oh dear!"

"You two are being incredibly rude. This is the Golden Ship!" Ikezoe silently withdrew the hand that had patted Toyo Jotun on the head, and said to the master craftsman and Toyo Jotun, "Being late is just a normal occurrence for the Golden Family's horse racing girls. They always have a way to turn the tide."

"Orphie, don't forget, when you first debuted, weren't you also severely late? Weren't you just as good as the Golden Ship? And now you're mocking your own sister?"

“Chitian, I’m not mocking you, I’m worried!” The Golden Master immediately turned around and said, “The Golden Ship has no [momentum] at all, how can it win like this?”

"You guys shouldn't look at people you know with old eyes. When the Golden Ship was running with us before, it never went all out."

Ikezoe gently patted Orpheus's head to calm her down. Before Jotun from Dongying could complain about Ikezoe's favoritism towards her racehorse girl and the disparity between her and her mentor, the master horse racing leader, Ikezoe whispered:

"And don't forget, Golden Ship is Imai-senpai's personal racehorse girl. Didn't you see? Imai-senpai wasn't worried at all when he saw this."

"So don't worry, Golden Ship definitely has her own plans this time. She won't cause trouble without considering the circumstances."

As he said this, Ikezoe picked up his binoculars again to observe the distant match, while Jotun and the master from Toyo turned their attention to Iwanami, who was standing to the side, because of Ikezoe's words.

As Ikezoe said, although Jinlang's expression was rather serious, he was not nervous at all. He was just watching the Golden Ship's game and leaving everything to the Golden Ship.

To be honest, Jin Lang himself didn't know the strength of the Golden Ship. Even considering his understanding of the Golden Ship from his previous life and his experience of taking care of it, he still couldn't figure out its limits.

No one fully understands the Golden Ship, but perhaps the Golden Ship understands everyone.

But Jinlang is certain that he can trust Golden Ship. Although she may seem unreliable at times, she never fails to keep her promises to others, and she will spare no effort to help her friends in her own way.

Jin Lang didn't know how strong Golden Ship was, nor did he know whether she was just a lowly horse girl who usually slacked off, or if she was truly lazy and relied on the bloodline of the Golden family to become a powerful racehorse girl. He only knew that since Golden Ship had taken the initiative to ask him for this choice, she would definitely not let him down, nor would she disappoint Jin Lang and the others' expectations.

"Then, run, Golden Ship, I believe you can do it."

"Now, you're the only one who can encourage McQueen, Goldship. I believe in you. You, the best offspring of the Gold and Mejiro families, can definitely become the horse girl who changes everything."

Chapter 258: The Perfect Union Between Meguro and the Golden Family

Golden Ship was indeed hanging at the very back of the line, with a full fifteen racehorse girls in front of her, crowding out this area of ​​the inner lane so much that it was impossible to break through—unless you were willing to crash into them, but crashing into them would result in a foul and a demotion, so it wasn't worth it.

Furthermore, the Golden Ship never intended to ram into anyone in front of it—while it's fun to knock everyone down and then rush out, it's not suitable for this game. Besides, although the Golden Ship is strong, one can't just ram into fifteen people... Is this some kind of Snake game? Can it eat one and then eat the next?

Moreover, Golden Ship has not forgotten her purpose in this race: to show Megumi McQueen, who is probably watching the live broadcast on TV right now, that even a racehorse girl like her can do it if she wants to!

Therefore, in this match, Golden Ship intends to uphold McQueen's attitude on the field—that is, to defeat everyone elegantly and overwhelmingly.

Of course, the advance tactics are definitely out of the question. Therefore, this time, the Golden Ship plans to perform its signature move: the horse-chasing tactic passed down only by the Golden family!

"1800 meters is a piece of cake for Lord Gold Ship."

"Although my last kick isn't as terrifying as Master Sister's, when it comes to acceleration... you guys are still far behind."

Golden Ship isn't the type that excels at the last sprint. For racehorse girls, the last sprint is more for sprinting and competing at distances like 3F. Although Golden Ship is also a racehorse girl from the Golden family and has relatively strong legs, she's not really good at the strenuous method of the last sprint.

The Golden Ship excels at a slow and gradual acceleration over long distances, as if it's gradually reaching its peak. By the time the racehorse girls around it realize the Golden Ship's acceleration, they are already powerless to stop its rampage.

"Hmm? It seems...quite interesting."

In the stands, in an inconspicuous spot, the Golden Journey, along with the Great Shock who was disguised and sitting next to her, uttered a soft, curious sound. The Great Shock, watching the Golden Ship's acceleration, couldn't help but ask:

"This acceleration technique... is very similar to mine. Journey? Did you perhaps pass on my running techniques to the Golden Ship?"

“Never. The running style of our Golden Family's racehorses has always been something they figured out on their own. They have never imitated anyone.” Golden Journey said, crossing his legs and his long, slender legs shaking slightly. “This is a running style that Golden Ship figured out on his own. It has nothing to do with us.”

"Moreover... Great Shock, your own running style isn't anything special, is it? Your acceleration method, which combines long-distance acceleration with the final step, can only be achieved by combining the characteristics of two different types of footwork. Normal racehorse girls' acceleration is either a slow acceleration like Golden Ship, or a super final step competition like Good Opera."

"Someone like you, who can both finish last and accelerate over long distances... I've never seen anything like it before. You're one of the rarest people in the world."

"Oh? Then I think there's another racehorse girl who could do that."

Upon hearing this, Da Zhenhan smiled slightly, his gaze unconsciously shifting to the Gold Master, who was filming the match on the Gold Ship from the other side, a subtle smile appearing on his lips.

It seems... the Golden Family's racehorse girls are truly full of hidden talents, bringing me pleasant surprises time and time again.

Golden Journey, Zhongshan Festival, Golden Master, Golden Ship, and a racehorse girl from the Golden Family named "Dream Journey." Although Da Zhen has never met her, he can tell from the other Golden Family sisters that she must also be an extremely talented racehorse girl.

A family with so many racehorse girls, each of whom has achieved something... This family is making Da Zhenhan increasingly curious about just how many surprises it can bring him.

"journey."

"Ok?"

"...I have a feeling that if we trace our bloodlines, we might be able to find a common ancestor. The running styles of your family members and mine have many similarities."

"Let's forget about it then. It's already exhausting enough to be in a family with a bunch of kids like this. If you join us, our Golden Family will be on the verge of disbanding." Golden Journey rolled his eyes at this, not taking Da Shocking's words seriously at all.

However, not far from the Great Shock and Golden Journey, this time, a black-haired, seemingly frail and silent racehorse girl, who had been dragged by her companion to watch the race, was hiding in a corner, holding a paper cup of coffee, sitting quietly next to her racehorse companion who was wearing a white coat.

At that moment, the black-haired girl suddenly sensed something and turned her head slightly to look at her side. At that moment, surrounded by the crowd, the black-haired racehorse girl also noticed that her shadow was flickering and jumping merrily.

"...What's wrong, friend? Be quiet."

"Huh? What did you just say? Tea house?" The chestnut-haired racehorse girl in the white coat next to me couldn't help but turn her head and ask.

"...It's nothing, Soko." The girl addressed as the tea table sensed her shadow returning to its calm state. She seemed quite used to such supernatural events, speaking calmly:

"So, we came here to study the Golden Family's racehorse girls? Then, how should we begin?"

"Hmph, I've been researching the reason behind the incredible leg strength of the Golden Family's racehorse girls. This kind of leg strength, which seems to be a gift from the three goddesses, is something that ordinary racehorse girls don't possess. I plan to find a way to draw some of her blood after the Golden Ship finishes its race to study it. Maybe in the future, I can create a drug to improve the leg strength of racehorse girls!"

"...Does it change the condition of the feet?"

However, upon hearing this, the woman in the teahouse subconsciously glanced at her long legs encased in black stockings, and after a long while, she said calmly:

"Not necessarily. Even if they have the same bloodline, foot quality... might not be something that every racehorse girl can inherit."

……

While the group on stage were talking, the game was gradually entering a heated phase, with the golden ship advancing towards the formation.

She is still waiting for the right opportunity, waiting for a chance to surpass everyone with minimal effort and overtake them on a curve!

And that opportunity is just around the bend ahead!

"Well then, Lord Golden Ship—it's time to set sail!"

In that instant, Golden Ship's eyes turned cold, making all the racehorse girls in the arena feel a chill, as if they were being stared at by a large carnivore, and they all showed expressions of fear.

The moment it rounded the bend, the Golden Ship seized the opportunity and sprinted towards the outside lane, overtaking everyone at an astonishing speed from the outer lane area!

"The Golden Ship has overtaken! In the third corner! The Golden Ship has overtaken from the outside!"

"Incredible speed! Golden Ship overtook all the racehorse girls from the outside with amazing speed! Now it's in fourth place—no! Third place!"

"Having overtaken a group of racehorse girls from sixteenth place on the bend, the Golden Ship is still accelerating! It's closing in on the last two racehorse girls ahead!"

"Isn't it?!"

However, the moment the commentator's voice came, not only the last two racehorse girls in front of the golden ship, but all the racehorse girls from Treson Academy in the arena gasped in surprise.

There was no way around it; everything happened too fast at that bend. Most of the racehorse girls hadn't even had time to see clearly before Golden Ship suddenly overtook them from the outside lane. The racehorse girls all gasped in surprise, showing extreme astonishment at Golden Ship's amazing acceleration.

"What a clever technique. Overtaking on the outside is very tiring, but the Golden Ship actually thought of overtaking on the outside of the curve, minimizing the consumption of energy and achieving the best overtaking effect."

"Could it be... that Golden Ship is also a skill-based racehorse girl?"

At this moment, the Golden Ship's overtaking maneuver on the bend surprised all the racehorse girls of the Miracle Team. After all, although the technique just now sounded simple, to achieve it, the racehorse girls had to ensure that their tactical plans were implemented precisely without the slightest deviation.

This tactic was something that even the Golden Master could not achieve. The skilled opera singer and the Emperor of the East Sea watching on television both showed a hint of surprise. They couldn't find any fault with the operation of the Golden Ship just now.

"No, Golden Ship isn't just a skill-based horse; she's a physical powerhouse, a true racehorse girl." At this moment, Imai put down his binoculars and said calmly:

"However, she is a true racehorse girl who combines skill and stamina. Such racehorse girls are rare, but Golden Ship can indeed use skill to make up for the physical exertion, and then use stamina to suppress the influence of other racehorse girls' skills on itself."

"This is a true combination of physical strength and skill, the perfect crystallization of the Mejiro and the Golden Family bloodline."

Chapter 259: Like McQueen returning with his white eyes!

The existence of the Golden Ship is a miracle in itself for Jinlang. Before this, very few racehorses could be like her, possessing both physical strength and skill at the same time. Most racehorses either excel in physical strength or make up for their lack of ability through skill. Mastering both at the same time is a rare existence.

Good Opera can be considered a combination of physical strength and technique; however, both physical strength and technique are relatively perfect, complementing each other. As a result, Good Opera's physical strength began to decline after she turned five, and she could no longer be as invincible as in her peak period. Her technique could no longer fully support her previous physical advantage.

However, the Golden Ship is different. She is an extremely "miraculous" product. She combines the long-distance advantage and skills of the Meguro family with the innate physical strength and footwork of the Golden family. She brings together the advantages and strengths of the two families, creating a perfect being that combines physical strength and skills.

But perhaps because she was too perfect, Golden Ship worked exceptionally hard during the Classic Year, but in the Ancient Horse Year, she seemed to suddenly understand something and stopped working so hard in the races, as if she realized that she was just a tool horse for running races, making people wonder if she could understand human speech.

Golden Ship was too smart. Being smart allows one to learn skills quickly, but being too smart also made her realize too early that her career as a racehorse was not about running as hard as she could, but about endurance.

For a racehorse, knowing how to maintain its career and achieving victory after victory under such circumstances is already quite remarkable. And as a female racehorse, Golden Ship also understood this principle early on—

That is, while winning a race might be exhilarating, it has a huge impact on a horse girl's career. Losing a race doesn't mean you can't win in the future; the right way for a horse girl is to keep running.

That's why Golden Ship is so relaxed about training and so indifferent to participating in races, because she knows that from the moment she steps onto the track, many things become beyond her control, and even she cannot go against her desire for victory as a racehorse girl.
