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

While most racehorses kick their riders in the abdomen with their hind legs when startled, there are exceptions. For example, a stable boy might be kicked in the face by a suddenly ill horse while brushing its coat.

Being kicked in the face is no small matter, after all, the head is there, but as long as the head and skull are not damaged, losing a few teeth or breaking the bridge of the nose is already a very fortunate thing.

"Won't there be any problems? Will there be any aftereffects? Like my sense of smell or something..." McQueen didn't think that far ahead. This young lady clearly didn't have much common sense about injuries, and hurriedly asked nervously.

"Don't worry, Miss McQueen, this kind of injury will not have any aftereffects as long as it is treated properly." The attending physician also said very professionally, "We will observe Mr. Jinlang's recovery in detail, so you don't need to worry."

"The infirmary at Treson Academy is always open. If you're worried, you can come and visit anytime. At the average jogging speed of a racehorse girl, it only takes five or six minutes to make a round trip."

"Please use the best medical methods and technology, I beg you."

Even so, McQueen was only half relieved. A sense of guilt made her want to make amends for the series of events she had caused, and she asked with concern:

"Then, where is Trainer Jinlang now?"

"He's in ward number seven," the attending physician said calmly. "We're planning to schedule the surgery tonight. The situation is under control now, and he's fine."

"Miss McQueen, if you wish to visit, please do so."

"Thank you for your help."

Upon hearing this, McQueen immediately turned around and headed towards Jinlang's ward without saying a word. Ikezoe, who was standing next to him, seemed to be planning to follow, but was stopped by Wada.

"Ikezoe-kun, you should be mindful of the atmosphere at times like this and not disturb them," Wada said with a hint of helplessness. He respected Ikezoe, but he was completely helpless against Ikezoe's wooden-like emotional intelligence.

"Hehe, Onii-chan, Trainer Wada is right. At times like this, we should give the racehorse girl and her trainer some private space."

Meanwhile, the clever one looked at the clueless Ikezoe and said with a sly smile, "It's not good for Onii-chan to be so dense, you might get completely taken advantage of without even realizing it~"

"?" However, Ikezoe was still confused, and Wada helplessly touched his forehead.

He had a premonition that, given the current situation within Ikemoto's team, his future was likely to be bleak...

……

McCu arrived at the ward and soon saw Jin Lang, who had changed into a hospital gown, in the private room. Of course, she also noticed his nose, which was covered by a gauze but still had a little blood seeping out.

"Trainer Jinlang..."

"Ah, McQueen, I was just thinking of coming to find you."

Jin Lang spotted McQueen immediately. Despite his broken nose, Jin Lang seemed unconcerned, gesturing for McQueen to sit down next to him before saying:

"How are you? I shouldn't have misjudged you, but is your condition alright?"

"Yes... Thanks to Trainer Jinlang for discovering it in time, my condition isn't serious. With a week of recuperation, I'll be able to make it to the friendly match." McQueen paused slightly, swallowing back the words of apology that were on the tip of his tongue, and answered somewhat uneasily.

"That's good, but my advice is not to participate in the friendly match. Even if you recover in a week, it's best to rest and recuperate some more." Jin Lang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then handed a form beside him to McQueen. McQueen took it, puzzled, and then heard Jin Lang say:

"This is a week's training schedule I've prepared for you. Considering your periostitis, you're not suitable for high-intensity training right now, so I've made some changes."

"Miss McQueen, your weight shouldn't be a big problem. You'll definitely be ready for the debut competition. As for the friendly matches, my suggestion is not to participate. Just focus on doing some basic training."

"Also, even without my supervision, I hope you can continue to curb your urge to eat desserts..."

However, all McQueen could hear was Jin Lang's incessant chatter about the arrangements, and as he stared at the list, for some reason, a feeling of bitterness suddenly welled up in his eyes.

No, she had to say it, at the very least, she had to express her apology and respect...

"Trainer Jinlang, I..."

"boom!"

Just then, McQueen's words were interrupted by the sound of a door being kicked open. When Jin Lang and McQueen looked over, they saw a beautiful young woman with long hair rushing in, her voice more panicked and anxious than ever before, shouting:

"Grandpa! Are you alright?!"

Chapter 30: Your maternal grandfather is still your maternal grandfather

"Grandpa! My grandpa! What's wrong with you?!"

"The Golden Ship? What are you doing here?"

The beautiful girl with the gossamer feathers who came was none other than Golden Boat, and only Golden Boat would use the term "old man." However, before Jin Lang and McQueen could react, Golden Boat shoved McQueen out of her seat and sat down next to Jin Lang.

McQueen, who had been knocked aside, seemed to want to say something after stumbling, but seeing the Golden Ship's tearful appearance, she couldn't bring herself to utter a word of accusation...

"Golden Ship, what are you doing here? Didn't you go to train on your own?" Jinlang was also surprised. Golden Ship hadn't shown up all day. Jinlang had heard from McQueen that Golden Ship had been called away by other female racehorses to train together. Although he found it strange, he didn't suspect anything.

"What?! I was clearly being held back!"

The Golden Ship was also feigning tears; although its voice sounded like a baby crying, no tears fell, leaving Jin Lang slightly speechless...

Really, you don't have to cry if you don't want to. You don't have to force yourself, Golden Ship.

“This morning, Didos stopped me early and asked me to be a ‘tester of the latest training facilities for Uma Musume’. I thought it would be interesting, so I went!”

"But I didn't expect it to take several hours! I don't know where those facilities came from, they're all so difficult to operate. I should have known better than to go!"

After seeing Jinlang's condition, Golden Ship immediately knew that Jinlang was not seriously injured. However, her lively and mischievous personality seemed to have intensified after being separated from Jinlang for some time, and she seemed even more mischievous than before.

Especially now that Jinlang is injured, although Golden Ship knows that Jinlang is not seriously injured, her nerves are still on edge. It's just that it's not very obvious on the surface, but is hidden by her silly personality.

"Grandpa, I suspect this was all arranged. Your injury is definitely because someone plotted to ambush you! That's why they instigated Didus and the others to attack you while I was away!"

Golden Ship suddenly turned serious and said mysteriously to Jin Lang, "I suspect that we are surrounded by their eyes and ears. There must be someone watching us in the dark."

"Old man, why don't we leave Treson Academy now? Let's go to Mars for refuge! The life forms there will surely welcome us!"

Imai and Megumi McQueen: "..."

Well, it's fortunate that Golden Ship doesn't know the truth yet. Right now, the "culprit who tried to ambush Jinlang" she mentioned is standing right next to Jinlang's bed. Especially since Jinlang knows that, strictly speaking, Megumi McQueen is Golden Ship's maternal grandfather, and seeing Golden Ship making such a fuss about her maternal grandfather, Jinlang couldn't help but chuckle a little.

"Alright, Golden Ship, I'm fine, and no one tried to harm me. It was just an accident."

Jin Lang naturally patted Golden Ship's head. Although Golden Ship's statement was quite outrageous, the concern revealed in its words still warmed Jin Lang's heart. He said gently:

"Don't worry about me, Golden Ship. You go back and rest. Miss McQueen is here."

"No! I want to stay with you, Grandpa!"

However, Golden Ship was quite stubborn on this point. It grabbed Jin Lang's arm and said in a coquettish tone, "I've been separated from you all day, Grandpa. I don't want to go back. I want to stay here and protect you."

"And Grandpa, didn't you say you wanted to see me run the 3000 meters? I've been preparing for days, I can start now!"

How can you run three kilometers in a hospital? Shall we get you a treadmill? Jin Lang and McQueen exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

“Golden Ship, I’m talking to Miss McQueen about the upcoming training and competitions. Miss McQueen has also been diagnosed with periostitis, so we’re… um… fellow patients.”

Jin Lang reluctantly made up an excuse, then comforted Golden Ship, saying, "We'll both recover quickly. I was talking to Miss McQueen about the issue of playing in next week's friendly match, Golden Ship, you see..."

"That's alright! If McQueen can't play, I can play, Lord Golden Ship!"

However, upon hearing about the competition, Golden Ship reacted differently than usual, displaying enthusiasm and immediately standing up to say to Jin Lang:

"Golden Ship, I'm not the same as before! Don't worry, old man, I'll definitely win you a championship! Then you'll be the 'trainer who can beat GI even while lying in a hospital bed'—wait, what level is the friendly match again?"

"Alright, stop fooling around, Golden Ship."

At that very moment, upon hearing that "Golden Ship will take her place in the battle," McQueen finally couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward. Although McQueen's expression was calm, his tone was more serious than ever before as he spoke, word by word, to Golden Ship and also to Jin Lang:

"I will receive treatment and recover within this week, and I will be able to play in the friendly match."

"Now, I need to discuss tactics and training with Trainer Jinlang. Golden Ship, could you please go back? Trainer Jinlang needs to rest."

"Oh."

In crucial moments, you still have to rely on McQueen. McQueen's serious expression immediately intimidated Golden Ship. Now, Golden Ship, who could jump around and joke around in front of Jin Lang, quickly became quiet, its ears drooping unhappily, and it left the ward dejectedly.

Looking at the golden ship he had just scolded away, McQueen seemed slightly remorseful, but he still restrained himself, turned back to Jin Lang, and said with guilt:

"I'm sorry... Trainer Jinlang, I lost my composure."

"McQueen, don't be so harsh on that kid from the Golden Ship." Jin Lang, however, showed no sign of blame, speaking gently as always.

"That child has that kind of personality, and she needs our encouragement rather than strict discipline. She needs to let her nature run free so that she can achieve more."

"I'm just worried that her boisterous personality might carry over to the competition and cause some unbelievable consequences." McQueen certainly has the right to speak on this, as she and Golden Ship are quite familiar with each other. Whether as friends or rivals, McQueen has always taken good care of Golden Ship.

"Also, trainer Jinlang, I've made up my mind. I'm going to take good care of myself and try to participate in the friendly match."

McQueen placed his hand on his chest and said to Jin Lang, "Since I'm the one who put you, Trainer Jin Lang, in a hospital bed, I will take responsibility for my actions. I won't let you down."

"I will be actively preparing this week, recovering from my injury while completing my daily training. In the friendly match, I will definitely live up to your expectations and win the victory for you."

"—Don't push yourself, McQueen."

Upon hearing this, Lang's eyelids twitched slightly. He sat up from the hospital bed and said, "Although periostitis is a minor illness, it can cause serious problems if not treated properly, and may even affect your entire competitive career."

"One victory is not important. The most important thing is to keep running. McQueen, don't let your pride ruin your career."

"I won't, trainer Jinlang, believe me."

McQueen nodded in agreement. She was determined to win, but she also knew she couldn't force herself. If Jin Lang hadn't discovered it early, her illness would have worsened rapidly, and it would have been a huge loss if it had become too serious.

"I promise, trainer Jinlang, I will heal my injury as soon as possible. The doctor said I can recover in a week at the earliest. If I am not fully recovered within a week, I will give up the friendly match and will absolutely not force myself."

"Then it won't be too late for you to send the gold ship, will it?"

McQueen's words also provided Jin Lang with some reassurance. Seeing that Jin Lang's expression seemed to have softened, McQueen felt that the matter was now almost certain.

However, deep down, she didn't entirely think that way.

Should the Golden Ship participate? ... That might be a good choice. The Golden Ship is quite strong, and it's not impossible for them to win this battle.

But she, Megumi McQueen, is a proud racehorse girl from a prestigious family.

She had made up her mind at that moment; the position of racehorse trainer for Jinlang was none other than her!

Chapter 31: McQueen's Preparations and the Emperor

Jinlang's injury did not have a significant impact on the course of events. The surgery that night went very smoothly, and McQueen did not have to wait long before Jinlang, who had been given anesthesia, was wheeled out and slept very soundly.

After all, it was just a minor surgery for a broken nasal bone, with virtually no risk. Even so, Megumi McQueen still had a lot of supplements and fruits sent from the Megumi family to nourish Ima.

Don't get me wrong, there is certainly some remorse in this, but even if it wasn't Jin Lang, but a stranger whom he had innocently hurt, Megaku McQueen would definitely have done the same.

McQueen understood that perhaps her apology and respect could not be expressed in words, so she would demonstrate her respect for Jinlang with a victory befitting a prestigious racehorse girl.

She needs to win this friendly match beautifully, and then win the debut match, so that she can stand tall and accept Jin Lang as her trainer with the most solemn etiquette.

No, it's not just about being a trainer; it's about being a trainer who is "one with one heart"!

During this week, McQueen behaved very steadily, taking her injections and medications on time every day and carrying out her daily training—the weights were also removed according to Jin Lang's request, but she never tried to unleash any explosive power except for jogging every day.
