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

But now, after experiencing the Arc de Triomphe, she has completely changed her opinion of this pair, and even of all of Japanese horse racing, so she intends to express her friendly attitude on this trip in this way.

"Furthermore, I might need Trainer Wada to teach me Japanese in the future, and I can also teach you French. After all, you will be living in Paris for a long time, and I hope we can still communicate in terms of language."

Having said that, facing the somewhat questioning gaze of Wada Kazuyo Opera, the noble family no longer concealed themselves, took out a document from their bag, and said to Wada Kazuyo Opera:

"Gentlemen, I am here on behalf of the Central Committee and our Tresson College to extend an invitation to you to study at the Central Academy of Dramatic Art in Paris."

“I’m here as a representative… Although I don’t think you might accept, I have to extend this invitation because I really hope you can stay in France.”

"The bloodline of the Anchors can only be truly realized here. Good opera, your combination can take you further, and you can even become stronger than me, the real best racehorse of the year in Europe."

"—I've made up my mind about this, my blood-related sisters in a foreign land!"

Before the noble family could finish speaking, Good Opera and Wada exchanged a smile, and Good Opera took the initiative to speak:

"It's not appropriate for us to respond right now, but next week, at the awards ceremony, my ministers and I will announce our decision, and then you will know what we have chosen."

Chapter 385: The Japan Cup, the Golden Master Who Wants to Compete with the Noblewoman!

Good Opera did not give any direct answers to the questions about the noble family, which made the noble family, representing the French Central Horse Racing Association, somewhat embarrassed. However, when she heard that Good Opera would give a direct response to the question together with Wada at the awards ceremony a week later, she felt that there was no need to continue the discussion.

Clearly, good opera and Hotan cannot stay in France—if they really wanted to stay, why would they need to do it at such a high-profile event as an awards ceremony? Was it just for show?

Of course not. If they want to stay, they should agree now. The noble family will definitely prepare a grand occasion for them to formally welcome them to the French Central Academy of Horse Racing. They would even welcome them on a red carpet.

However, instead of answering immediately, they chose the awards ceremony. Clearly, they hoped to use this occasion to express their views and make them known to the public. At that point, even if the French central authorities were reluctant, they would have no choice but to let them return to Japan.

"But I don't understand. You've risked everything, even to this extent, all for this. Why is it that now that the opportunity is in front of you, you're acting like great heroes, giving up everything?"

"It shouldn't just be about being a great hero, right? Can you tell me if you'd like? A fine opera?"

"It's very simple, because Ryuji and I are both running for the dreams of other people."

Upon hearing this, the opera enthusiasts chuckled and replied to the noble family, "They give us support and confidence, and we give them inspiration and dreams—it's fair, isn't it?"

"Besides, Ryuji and I have already obtained everything we wanted. Let's leave these dreams to others who need them more."

"We have already performed our grand opera on the world's biggest stage. This performance was absolutely perfect! I should take a break and enjoy the sweet aftertaste of this world-class opera."

"...If this is your choice."

Ultimately, the noble family accepted the opera's proposal. Of course, she hoped that the opera and Khotan would stay, but if they insisted on leaving, she was willing to help them leave Paris and find a way to bypass the difficulties caused by those people in the French central government.

"Perhaps we will meet again in the future, good opera, and Hotan trainer."

The nobleman added, "Your victory at the Arc de Triomphe has truly opened my eyes. I've also realized the prejudice I had against Japanese racehorses before. Therefore, this time, I plan to go to Japan to participate in your Japan Cup."

"Japan Cup?" X2

The words of the noble family surprised Hao Geju and Wada, but they quickly understood the noble family's actions and showed a slightly strange expression.

This defeat at the Arc de Triomphe must have had a significant impact on the status of the Elite Trophy. After all, Elite Trophy is known as the "elite of the European saddlery lineage," and was the most promising contender for the title of Europe's best racehorse this year. While this defeat at the Arc de Triomphe has greatly enhanced the reputation of Fine Opera in Europe, it has also dealt a considerable blow to the status of Elite Trophy.

She needed a victory to wash away her defeat and to prove her strength. Therefore, Japan, where she had won the triumphal opera at the Arc de Triomphe, became the inevitable destination for the noble family to cleanse themselves of their shame.

If Good Opera hadn't been injured, then Noble Family probably wouldn't have dared to go to Japan, a country they're relatively unfamiliar with, and to the Japanese circuit, which would obviously affect their performance. But now that Good Opera is injured, it's impossible for her to return to the competition in a few months.

Therefore, Good Opera will definitely not participate in this Japan Cup, which is the source of the family's confidence.

"Although I lost to you at the Arc de Triomphe this time, I will win it back in the Japan Cup—you shouldn't mind if I don't hold back against your other teammates in the Japan Cup, right?"

"How could that be? If you can do it, feel free to give it a try."

However, upon hearing that the prestigious clans still seemed to look down on Japan's Uma Musume, both Wada and Yoshimi couldn't help but think of the "monsters" in their team, and they couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Clearly, although the noble family experienced defeat at the Arc de Triomphe, she did not take the Japanese racehorses seriously because of it. Perhaps it was because of the bloodline of the Kogeki Shotoi clan that she felt that Kogeki's victory was still partly due to the advantage of bloodline.

If the winner of this Arc de Triomphe wasn't a good opera, but any other racehorse girl with Japanese racehorse girl blood, perhaps the noble family wouldn't have had such thoughts. However, since they share the same Shokujoi lineage, the noble family viewed this loss at the Arc de Triomphe as a contest between their bloodlines, and didn't mean that Japanese racehorse girls had surpassed European racehorse girls.

Therefore, she needs to redeem herself at the Japan Cup. Although the Japan Cup, as an international GI tournament, cannot compare to the Arc de Triomphe in terms of prestige, it would be a great opportunity for a prestigious family that needs a victory to prove itself.

But after seeing the state of the Wangzu family, the opera enthusiasts felt they should remind their blood sister, otherwise, to prevent her from suffering another setback in the Japan Cup, which might shatter all her pride...

"Noble family, although I won the Arc de Triomphe this time, it doesn't mean that I am really the strongest horse girl in Japan. I am just the most suitable horse girl for overseas expeditions among my peers."

"Although I hate to admit it, if there are a few more powerful figures on the stage of the Overlord, the final outcome of this opera that has already ended may not be so easy to predict. So you'd better be careful."

"Oh? In Japan, there is actually a force that our opera capital fears? That's truly unexpected."

Hearing even Good Opera say this, Nobunaga couldn't help but become more serious. If Wada had said this, she would have thought he was trying to make their country's racehorse girls proud, but since even Good Opera said this, she had to be wary that she might encounter some very strong opponents in this Japan Cup.

She hadn't systematically researched the horse racing scene active in Japan, since she hadn't initially planned to go to Japan for a race. It was too much work for little reward, and she did indeed look down on Japanese horse racing.

Does Japan have any really strong Uma Musume (horse racers) these days? Someone even Okita Musume (Opera King) has to be wary of.

"Well, to avoid revealing the abilities of my friends who might participate in the Japan Cup, I won't say any more," Good Opera said with a slight smile. "But if you're interested in watching the races, you should be able to find some videos of some of the more outstanding Uma Musume races from recently."

"Just a friendly reminder, we have another classic triple crown racer in our team. Although I think she'll probably be participating in the Arima Kinen event, you'd better watch out for running into her."

……

"Ah - sneeze!"

At that moment, the Gold Master, far away in Japan, suddenly sneezed, startling Ikezoe, Maki, and Tosho Kagen. Maki blinked her big eyes and asked with concern, "Master, are you sick?"

"No, it's just that I suddenly have a feeling that someone is talking about me." The Golden Master shook her head. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask and was fine. Then she looked up and asked Chi Tian:

"Ikezoe, I've made up my mind. Let me participate in the Japan Cup!"

"Orphie, I have no objection, but are you really ready to go and compete with that noblewoman?"

At this moment, although Chi Tian was confident in the current state of the Golden Master, because she was definitely stronger than the Golden Master of the past in Chi Tian's memory, even so, when they faced off back then, the Golden Master had entered the peak period of the Ancient Horse Year, and the noblewoman at that time was just like now, only in the Classic Year.

The Golden Masters' debut was brought forward a lot because of Ikezoe's presence, so much so that the two women's classic years are now facing each other. The Golden Masters lost to the Lady once in the Japan Cup, but this time in the Japan Cup, she will take the initiative to compete against the Lady, and even gave up the more popular Arima Kinen for this.

If they win, the Gold Master might achieve a victory comparable to Arima's, but if they lose—Ikezoe would never normally think about this, but after all, it's a noblewoman who has caused the Gold Master to suffer a defeat once, so Ikezoe has to consider it.

"Don't worry, Chi Tian." Upon hearing this, the Golden Master seemed to sense Chi Tian's unease, but Chi Tian's expression only fueled her fighting spirit as she said, "I will beat her, I definitely will!"

"It's just a minor mare's Triple Crown, right? I'm a classic Triple Crown! I absolutely won't lose to a mare racehorse!"

Chapter 386: The Award Ceremony, The Overlord's Composure

In contrast to the Golden Masters, the Great Shock and the Lady have been keeping a low profile. The Lady is working hard to improve her strength so that she can compete with the Golden Masters at the Arima Commemoration. Especially after learning about the Golden Masters' perfect transformation at the Chrysanthemum Sho, she has also chosen to train hard and become stronger before the Arima Commemoration.

Meanwhile, Da Zhenzhen was busy with how to transfer the Lady's Japan Cup spot to Arima Kinen. She needed to spend a lot of time and energy preparing and making connections, so she had no time to pay attention to the situation here with Ikezoe and the others.

After some time, they might find that their hard work in competing against gold masters like Arima Kinen has resulted in a "two-way race," with the two women, both eager to compete against each other, accidentally missing each other because they are "considerate of each other's reluctance to change matches."

But no one knows any of this yet, and as time goes by, a week has passed quickly.

The long-delayed awards ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris finally began.

On this day, while Didos was away, McQueen was enjoying the baseball game broadcast in his dormitory, watching his favorite team about to make a comeback. Suddenly, without warning, the door was opened, and a group of people barged in without saying a word, grabbing McQueen's arm with one hand!

"Hurry up! It's only a few minutes left before it starts! McQueen, come back and watch the baseball broadcast! The awards ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe is about to begin!"

"Huh? Isn't there still half an hour left—wait, let me finish reading this part first!"

"We can watch the broadcast anytime! This is the important part, McQueen! Let's hurry! We'll miss out on seats if we're late!"

Suddenly, the Golden Ship grabbed McQueen, and the Emperor of the East Sea shoved McQueen from behind as they rushed together. It was a pity that McQueen, who was just witnessing the most exciting part, would not be able to see his team's Grand Slam comeback victory in the final game. It was truly a regrettable situation.

When the Golden Ship team arrived, they found that the large screen in the dormitory hall was almost completely full of people. Whether it was the "Miracle" team, other teams, or the racehorse girls, they had all crowded around the area.

Fortunately, someone had spotted their arrival beforehand. Naoto, who was sitting with Naise Fumino, stood up and raised his hand to signal to the Golden Ship group:

"Everyone, over here!"

"Thank goodness we made it in time!"

The members of the "Miracle" team had already reserved seats for each other. After squeezing into the crowd, Golden Ship and her team sat down comfortably, only to find that the seats were truly packed, even more than on the day of the Arc de Triomphe live broadcast.

Everyone wanted to witness this moment, to see the representative of the French central government hand over the Arc de Triomphe medal to the fine opera, so that she could hold the medal up in her own hands.

"Now that the opera student has come out, we'll know exactly how the opera student and the trainer are doing."

Compared to the medal, she hoped to see the Good Opera and Hotan safe and sound. After hearing the news that the Good Opera had been injured and hospitalized after the Arc de Triomphe, Nu Tao was very upset and shed many tears that night. Even after repeatedly confirming the news with the Good Opera and Hotan, it did not help much.

She needs to see Good Opera on the awards stage with her own eyes before she can be completely at ease and believe that Good Opera will be alright. Otherwise, this anxiety will probably continue until Good Opera and Hotan return.

Naze Fumino looked at Nutao beside her and smiled gently, "Don't worry, Nutao, Haogeju and the others are fine. Haven't we talked to them on the phone and video chatted many times?"

"Wada has already told me that Good Opera only suffered a bone fracture, and as long as it recovers well, it will not affect his future career."

As Fumino calmed the raging waves, a racehorse girl's delighted voice rang out:

"It's starting! The awards ceremony is beginning!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the previously noisy scene fell silent, with only the live broadcast on the big screen remaining. Thousands of miles away in France, on the central stage of the Longchamp Racecourse, the award ceremony of the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix, which was a week late, finally began.

When the live broadcast focused on the host on the stage, surprisingly, what should have been a live broadcast turned into a gasp from the audience after the French host uttered a single sentence.

"Welcome, spectators from all over the world, racehorse ladies, welcome to Longchamp Racecourse."

"Ugh—! Why, why are there subtitles?!"

When the host, speaking in French that the horse racing girls couldn't understand, began to speak, a line of subtitles appearing below startled everyone. Wasn't this supposed to be a live broadcast? Why are there subtitles?

Meanwhile, in the student council, Rudolf and his group, who were also watching this scene, were somewhat taken aback. Rudolf quickly followed with a wry smile and said:

"The central authorities acted really quickly. They must have already tipped off the French central authorities and knew the lines in advance, so they added real-time subtitles to the live broadcast."

"It seems that with this victory at the Arc de Triomphe, the central government has really gone all out to promote Good Opera. I'm afraid they're really going to treat her like Japan's strongest horse racer."

Of course, all of this is preparation for the return of fine opera. The louder the calls from the Japanese Central Opera, the greater the hope for its return. Although Rudolf believes that the Japanese Central Opera's voice is unlikely to arouse the interest of fine opera and Wada, their determination cannot be changed by outsiders.

But at least this will improve everyone's sensory experience. Now that we're doing this, isn't it much more convenient for those of them who have been eagerly waiting?

Therefore, while Rudolf found the central government's actions amusing, he could also understand them.

Moreover, this helped her become the student council president after she resigned. Now, in Japan, the popularity of Good Opera has soared to a level that has exceeded all of their expectations.

"Although the awards ceremony was delayed for a while due to some minor unforeseen circumstances, we have finally arrived at this day worth celebrating."

"The racehorse girl from the Kurani family in Japan, even though she went far away due to some accidents, still defeated all our best racehorse girls of the year on the European track at Longchamp Racecourse. Her talent is recognized by everyone."

"She ended Japan's long history of repeatedly failing to win at the Arc de Triomphe. She also proved the importance of the relationship between the racehorse girl and her trainer, who supported and accompanied her all the way to the final pairing."

"Therefore, this award rightfully belongs to them—I hereby announce that the winner of this Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix is—Uma Musume™ Opera Queen from Japan, and her trainer, Ryuji Wada!"

"Yay—!!" XN

After the host finally began the long-awaited awards ceremony and announced the ultimate winner, cheers erupted throughout Treson Academy! Even though a week had passed, the announcement of the real victory still brought joy and excitement to everyone.
