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

He believed in their character and that as fellow time travelers, they could understand each other on these matters. If even they, fellow time travelers, hated Chi Tian so much, then Chi Tian must have felt that he was a failure as a person.

Fortunately, this did not happen. After Chi Tian explained the whole story to Jin Lang, Jin Lang's expression gradually relaxed from its initial seriousness.

"...It sounds a bit far-fetched, but if it happened to you, Ikezoe-kun, I can understand it a little better."

"So, that one of the three goddesses named 'Dali' has already helped you and Wada-kun?"

“No, it should be another of the Three Goddesses who helped Wada.” Upon hearing this, Ikezoe saw that Jinlang’s expression had relaxed a lot and immediately said, “We both owe our chance to turn the tide to the Three Goddesses – Jinlang-senpai, I highly recommend that you give it a try!”

"Let's forget about it. I haven't run into any trouble yet. I'll go bother the three goddesses when I encounter trouble that even I can't handle." Jin Lang chuckled upon hearing this, not taking it to heart.

Although Jinlang didn't quite understand what kind of existence the three goddesses of this world were, he felt that, based on the experiences of Wada and Ikezoe, the three goddesses would only help them when they were in danger.

Wada used his obsession with moving the three goddesses, Ikezoe came from the heavy trust placed in him by the three goddesses, and as for him... at least Jinlang doesn't know what he could do to move the three goddesses.

"So, does that mean this is also part of the training?" Jin Lang glanced at the Gold Master next to Chi Tian. She was probably too tired, or perhaps she was used to sleeping in late. Even though Chi Tian and Jin Lang had talked for so long, she still showed no signs of waking up.

Although Imamura was willing to believe Ikezoe's words, the "mental world" that trains and strengthens the mind... it has to be said that this cheat code is a bit too strong, which is equivalent to leaving the training progress of other racehorse girls far behind.

If this is true, then it can only be said that Chi Tian is truly a blessed being. However, Jin Lang has some doubts: with such a powerful ability, are there no side effects?

"Chizoe-kun, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

"Sigh... Speaking of which... I feel a bit mentally exhausted, is it because I haven't slept enough?"

It was only after a moment that Chi Tian belatedly yawned and glanced at the sunlight outside the window—the sunlight was exceptionally bright at this time, proving that it was already quite late when Chi Tian finally woke up.

"...What time is it now, Senior Jinlang?"

"It's alright, 6:30 in the morning. The sun rises early in the summer," Imami replied to Ikezoe. Actually, this time is considered early for most Japanese employees; it should be rush hour. But for trainers and racehorse girls, this time is considered late.

Although racehorse girls have a much better ability to dissipate heat than racehorses, their body temperature is still higher than that of ordinary people. They are still quite wary of races and training in the summer. At this time of year, the temperature is also rising, which shortens the time that racehorse girls can train outdoors. They should get up earlier to train.

Generally speaking, training at 6:30 in winter is fine, but in summer it has to be done earlier, around 5:30. The fact that Chi Tian slept until now also confirms another of Jin Lang's guesses.

"It seems that while this training method is effective, its biggest side effect is that it consumes your sleep time."

"One or two days might be okay, but you can't keep going like this—Ikezoe-kun, I suggest you get a good night's sleep every three days, so you don't let fatigue wear you down first."

"Now, get up quickly and get to training before your other racehorse girls get suspicious."

"...It seems that time is still very tight."

Chi Tian clutched his head, enduring the throbbing pain, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that although this is a skill that can achieve twice the result with half the effort, it still can't be carried out without any cost..."

But they can win. Ikezoe is confident that they can win. As long as they can persevere, they will definitely win this game.

Chapter 342: The Clever One Smells Something Unusual

With the help of Dali, one of the three goddesses, Ikezoe and the Golden Master found the training method of "the world of the mind". Ikezoe and the Golden Master, who were originally a little worried about the road ahead, began to have enough confidence in the training and threw themselves into the training every day with full energy.

This should have been a very happy thing, but as a week went by, the female racehorses in the team gradually began to notice that something was slightly off.

"call--!"

"We won! Orfi, it looks like you've fully recovered now. All we have to do is restart our training program. With your current physical condition, you'll definitely be much better in the Chrysanthemum Sho tournament than you were in the Japanese Derby."

And so, another friendly match came to an end. This time, the Golden Master, who had been in recovery, tested his current physical fitness. However, the result was very unexpected. The Golden Master won without any suspense. For a moment, it even made Chi Tian feel the Golden Master before his pulmonary hemorrhage.

“Not enough… the winner isn’t a true opponent.” Upon hearing this, the Gold Master wiped his sweat and said to Chi Tian, ​​“It can be even faster.”

Although Ikezoe's words were encouraging, in reality, the Golden Masters' current form is still far from their peak during the Japanese Derby. After all, in this friendly match, the Golden Masters didn't defeat any particularly strong opponents...

"Hey! How rude! Even if you're a master craftswoman, you can't look down on this witch like that! Be careful, or I'll turn you all into frogs with my magic!"

Behind the Golden Master, Dongshang Reform and Donghai Emperor slowly walked in. These two rising stars in the team, who have not yet debuted, are already quite strong after years of training.

However, this still cannot prevent them from remaining at the bottom of the team, especially Donghai Diwang. The debut time she agreed upon with Lu Duo is almost here. Once the Chrysanthemum Appreciation and other GI competitions end in October this year, Donghai Diwang will start her first stop.

She is still dissatisfied with her progress and is even a little afraid that she will be crushed by other racehorses in this state.

"Waaaaah—I lost again! I can't even outrun the Master Sister who just recovered?"

Although he had acknowledged the Golden Master as his leader, the East Sea Emperor was still extremely unhappy to have lost the competition and wailed loudly. Meanwhile, Jin Lang, McQueen, and the Golden Ship arrived just in time. Jin Lang addressed the crowd:

"The result is good. Even though the Gold Master has relaxed for a month, his physical fitness still seems to be very good."

"Waaaah—I'm such a burden~~"

Upon hearing Jin Lang's voice, the East Sea Emperor immediately looked aggrieved and rushed forward to hug him. She then nervously grasped his hand and shook it, saying in a very aggrieved tone:

"I'm such a drag, I still can't beat Master Sister! How am I supposed to compete in the debut race if this keeps up? I don't want to fail in my debut race too!"

"Hey, Your Majesty, I'm not going to lose even the debut race, am I? Hey, tell me quickly~"

The Emperor's sweet, cloying voice is a powerful weapon to anyone, especially someone as young and playful as Jin Lang, who is at an age where he naturally dotes on children. However, Jin Lang still insisted on his duties as a trainer, rubbing the East Sea Emperor's head and saying:

"To win, you need to lay a solid foundation. Your Majesty, have you mastered your running technique?"

"I've already mastered it! I've completely corrected it according to what you said, trainer!" The Emperor said proudly, hands on his hips. "This way, the pressure on my ankles is not only cushioned, but it also saves a lot of energy. Moreover, my feet are soft and I'm naturally faster at the start than most racehorse girls, and I have a stronger breakthrough ability. I already know all of this."

"Your Majesty, I can easily run the 3000-meter Chrysanthemum Viewing Race! But that's not enough, you're a burden. Quickly teach me how to win the race!"

"If I encounter a racehorse girl as strong as Master Sister in the debut race, wouldn't I lose miserably?"

No, no, no, who gave you this information? To encounter a Gold Master like that during your debut battle? That's a terrifying opponent even in the GI tournament! The Empress's words made Jin Lang and his team laugh. In fact, everyone else in the team knew how powerful the Empress was, except for herself.

Because the members of the "Miracle" team are all too strong, for the East Sea Emperor who has not yet awakened [Aura] and [Domain], each one is a dimensional reduction attack.

However, when it comes to basic skills and speed without using the last leg, none of the racehorse girls in the team would dare to say that they can be faster than the East Sea Emperor—this kid's talent in this area is simply too strong.

With supple ankles and powerful propulsion, each step felt like a tiny acceleration. Even emperors could adjust their foot strength according to their own rhythm, demonstrating a mastery over the power of every joint in their feet.

She was born with this talent, which is something everyone in the team envies.

Compared to the "Miracle" team, which is dominated by "physical" racehorse girls, East Sea Emperor is one of the few skill-based racehorse girls. Her final sprint is not as fierce as Raging Waves, nor as overwhelming as Golden Master, but it is sharp and powerful.

Like a sharp little knife, it may not be as intimidating as a long sword, but it can still kill with one blow. What the Emperor is good at is to seize the best moment on the racetrack and strike at the crucial moment. By the time the other racehorses realize that something is wrong and want to catch up with the Emperor, it is too late.

Therefore, while focusing on the Emperor's physical fitness, Jinlang is also training the East Sea Emperor's judgment on the racetrack. At least so far, every answer the Emperor has given Jinlang has been very satisfactory to Jinlang—this child is not only very talented as a racehorse girl, but also on the racetrack.

The current emperor is more than capable of making his debut. Unless, as the Emperor of the East Sea said, he encounters another opponent of the level of a Golden Master, Jinlang can assert that even the best opera from the Satsuki Sho era would not dare to say that he can definitely beat the emperor.

The Emperor may lack "aura" and "domain," but even if he hasn't eaten pork, he's seen pigs run, right? Having been with the "Miracle" team for so long, the Emperor has long been accustomed to being suppressed by his opponents' "aura" in every match.

Not every racehorse girl can practice [Aura] as much as the racehorse girls of the "Miracle" team. They practice it like an essential skill. Although the current East Sea Emperor doesn't have it, his resistance to [Aura] and [Domain] is already very high.

For example, right now, the East Sea Emperor has gone from being crushed by the Golden Master's [aura] to now being able to withstand the Golden Master's [aura] and only trailing her by one and a half horse lengths. Can the East Sea Emperor be a weak racehorse girl?

It's just that everyone in the team tacitly agreed to use this method to hone the will of the East Sea Emperor, and at least for now, the effect seems very significant.

"If you don't want to lose the race, you have to work harder than your opponent. Emperor, today, let's see how well you can perform under the pressure of McQueen and Raging Waves' [momentum].

"I, I will do my best!" Upon hearing that Jin Lang was going to get serious this time, a hint of fear appeared on the Emperor's face, but he quickly mustered up his courage and agreed.

Meanwhile, after completing the lap, the Golden Master suddenly felt dizzy and staggered a few steps, startling Ikezoe, Makoto, and Tosho. Ikezoe immediately grabbed the Master's shoulder and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Orpheus? Are you feeling tired?"

"Hmm... I want to go back and rest." The Gold Master shook his head, then suddenly grabbed Chi Tian's shoulder, saying with a hint of shyness:

"Um, could you please stay with me a little longer..."

“…I understand. Let’s go back to the team room.” Chi Tian immediately understood the Golden Master’s idea, but this time he didn’t plan to let the Golden Master continue training in his dream.

I should talk to Orphie about this dream training... Although Chi Tian had mentioned it more than once before, the Golden Master always refused, saying he could persevere. But now, Chi Tian can no longer assume that the Golden Master can persevere.

"Kallen-chan, and Little Witch, you can continue your training on your own for now. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, Onii-chan, and Master, be careful~"

Zhen Jiling smiled and bid farewell to Chi Tian and the master craftsman. However, before the two had gone far, the Emperor of the East Sea approached them and asked in bewilderment:

"Recently, Trainer Ikezoe and Master Sister... have become really close."

"Recently, Sister Master has been feeling sleepy quite often, and Qianyi is always by her side." Dongshang Biange thought to herself, but she only felt that Master and her trainer had a good relationship. She was too young to think that far ahead.

On the other side, Zhen Jiling's eyes narrowed slightly; she had already discovered these things.

"Recently, Fujikishi-senpai also mentioned that Master has been frequently requesting to stay overnight outside... Could it be..."

Zhen Jiling felt that she needed to go and see how much her oni-chan's relationship with the master had "improved" during this time.

Chapter 343: You have received an invitation from Zhen Jiling to sleep together.

Chi Tian helped the Golden Master back to the team room, to his bed. As soon as Chi Tian helped the Golden Master sit down, he immediately moved a chair over and sat down in front of him, speaking very solemnly:

"Orphie, you really need to rest. Senior Jinlang warned me long ago, and I've told you the same thing. The 'Mind World' is indeed very helpful for your improvement, but it also takes a lot of mental strain on us."

"In this situation, we cannot get effective sleep, which is equivalent to our minds constantly suffering from insomnia and staying up late. If this continues for a long time, no one can withstand it."

Ikezoe was still able to take a nap during the afternoon to steal a moment of leisure from her busy schedule, barely managing to get through the week, but she was also extremely tired. As for the Golden Master, he hadn't slept much at all throughout the week, exercising his body during the day and his mind at night. Even with a racehorse's constitution, a week was really too much for him.

"Orphie, we can't afford to burn out. We need to choose the most efficient training method. You need to rest now. If we focus too much on short-term results, it will only make us fall further behind the other racehorse girls."

"So, Orphie, rest well today. Your body has almost recovered. We will restart your training tomorrow. We don't need to rush."

“I know…Ikezoe…I know everything…”

The Golden Master did indeed feel that her spirit was starting to give out. Although the training had been proceeding normally during this period, it was only because the rehabilitation exercises were relatively easy; even if the Golden Master were careless, she could easily persevere.

However, this condition is not suitable for tomorrow's intense training, and the Golden Master knows he needs a good rest.

but……

"...I want you to stay with me one more time, Chi Tian."

The Golden Master stubbornly opened her arms to Chi Tian, ​​her cheeks slightly flushed. Although a week had passed, the Golden Master still acted like a shy but persistent young girl in love at this time. She said to Chi Tian, ​​"If you stay with me today, I'll get some rest."

“Orphi…” Chi Tian’s face showed some difficulty. Even he had to admit that such a gold master was indeed very tempting in a certain sense, but he hoped that the gold master would rest well.

"Don't think too much, Chi Tian, ​​I just want to test it out." The Golden Master knew that his appearance was inappropriate, but he still took the initiative to say, "I will definitely sleep tonight, but I want to know if time in the 'Mind World' is half as slow as outside, if we sleep in there, will we be able to get more rest while also having more time to train?"

"Try it for me, Ikezoe. If it doesn't work, we'll rest and then train."

"...If that's the case, then okay."

It must be said that the Golden Master's reasoning convinced Chi Tian. Chi Tian was also curious whether they could recover their energy with less sleep if they slept in the "Mind World". So, under the Golden Master's gaze that he dared not look directly at, Chi Tian skillfully hugged the Golden Master's body, and the two slowly lay down on the bed.

Soon after, the sound of steady breathing could be heard. The two, who were already very tired, fell asleep very quickly.

A short while later, the door to Chi Tian's room, which had been closed, was quietly opened. Zhen Jiling, holding a key she had somehow obtained, slowly poked her head out and immediately locked her gaze on Chi Tian and the Golden Master, who were sleeping on the bed.

At first, Makoto was startled by the scene, but when she found that Chizo and the Golden Master were dressed neatly and simply sleeping in the same bed, she not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also a warm smile appeared on her face.

This scene... really made it impossible for her to get angry even if she wanted to.
