"I wouldn't have thought that way before, because ever since we Mejiro family met the Golden family, we've never known what the Golden family is thinking."
Madam Meguro shook her head upon hearing this. Compared to the Meguro family, the Golden family was one of the newer families. Their bloodline was still relatively new, making them a newly emerging family. However, surprisingly, since the founding of the Golden family, their family members have always been involved with the Meguro family.
Among them, the head of the family, Golden Journey, paid the most attention to the Mejiro family. On several occasions, the old lady of the Mejiro family even saw Golden Journey appear in the Mejiro family's backyard without any prior notice, and then be surrounded by a group of Mejiro family's horse racing girls and children.
Every time she sees this scene, Madam Mejiro can only say that it's fortunate that Golden Journey is a racehorse girl. If she were the wrong gender, even though Madam Mejiro is already eighty years old, she would definitely give this uninvited guest, Golden Journey, a corrective punch.
Now, Golden Journey is busy competing overseas, and Golden Ship, as the acting head of the family, is always entangled with the Mejiro family's racehorse girls. Before, the old lady of Mejiro didn't care, but now... she doesn't think so anymore.
"But I don't see it that way anymore. The Golden Ship is the one that we need to pay the most attention to... Her feelings for Mr. Jinlang... don't seem to be simple."
"But I feel that she is more dependent on Mr. Jinlang." Aldan also knew about the incident that the Golden Ship had caused here. Although she also thought that the Golden Ship's move was quite cunning, she did not think that this was enough to confirm that the Golden Ship had such intentions.
After all, that was the Golden Ship; it couldn't be understood using common sense. Although Aldan wasn't particularly close to the Golden Ship, because of Megumi McQueen, she was well aware of its extraordinary intellect.
If you ask her to imagine what kind of person the Golden Ship would like... sorry, Aldan really can't imagine what kind of person the Golden Ship would like.
Even if it's not something stranger than aliens, right? Aldan didn't want to be too rude, but forgive her, she really couldn't imagine anyone liking a golden ship.
"Don't try to understand this problem with common sense, Aldan. We've never really understood the Golden Family, and the Golden Ship is the strangest of all the oddballs in the Golden Family."
"Ardan, didn't you notice that with all this commotion involving the Golden Ship, everyone else could see it was an act, but Mr. Jinlang was the only one who couldn't see it?" Old Madam Meguro shook her head, staring into Ardan's eyes as she spoke:
"Because he deliberately didn't expose it. Golden Ship is very clear about her position in Mr. Jinlang's heart. She knows that this trick can't be hidden, but she still used it. The trick of questioning is especially effective against Mr. Jinlang."
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t see through some things, as long as they work. Just like a child who pretends to cry will eventually get pampered by their parents, the Golden Ship took advantage of this.”
"And that's what we need to focus on. The Golden Ship is the only thing that seems to have a completely different meaning for Mr. Jinlang. If there is anyone who is blocking our way, then I'm afraid that person will only be the Golden Ship."
"Be extremely careful of the Huang family..."
Madam Meguro spoke earnestly to Aldan, then sighed deeply. She truly felt that she was becoming more and more powerless each day.
After they all leave, who should the Mejiro family, which still has no successor, be handed over to? Aldan may be capable, but her personality is too soft, and I'm afraid she won't be able to truly make the Mejiro family obey her.
Ryan is too impatient, Dober and Guangming are not interested in the family business, and as for Shanxin... she probably has never even thought about this issue.
After much deliberation, it seems that the only trustworthy member of the next generation of the Mejiro family, apart from McQueen who was born into a collateral branch, is no one else more suitable.
McQueen is gentle by nature, but she can be very tough when necessary. As a racehorse girl, she achieved outstanding results and fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the Mejiro family. If she were to become the head of the family, no one in the Mejiro family would probably have anything to say about her—except that she is a child from a collateral branch of the family.
However, the old lady will solve this problem later. The only issue is that McQueen alone cannot possibly manage the entire Mejiro family all at once. The Mejiro family is too big. Even if her old bones can hold on for a few more years, it is estimated that she will reach her limit by the end of McQueen's career. If McQueen is still completely clueless about managing these family businesses at that time, who can help her?
That's why the old lady was so anxious; the Megumi family really needs a pillar of support.
……
Meanwhile, in the guest room on the other side, the room was unusually crowded today. The three of them, the East Sea Emperor, Megumi McQueen, and the Golden Ship, were all lying on the same bed, hugging each other tightly. The blankets had been kicked off somewhere, and the surroundings were a mess.
The belated celebration of McQueen's consecutive championships left the three racehorse girls extremely exhausted. After a pillow fight, the three girls finally lay down on the bed and fell asleep from exhaustion.
"Awoo... The Undefeated Three-Crown Champion has fallen... It's me..."
"Trainer-san...no...this will make Golden Ship-san sad...sigh..."
Both the East Sea Emperor and McQueen were talking softly in their sleep, a trait they shared. Meanwhile, Jin Lang, who was unusually sleeping on the sofa today, got up and covered the three children with their blankets again after seeing that they had kicked them off.
At that very moment, a faint voice came from the golden ship that was fast asleep:
"You, you get away from me...Pure...Radiant...Watch me send my daughter to blow you to heaven..."
"..."
At this moment, Jin Lang's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but he still silently covered the three women with blankets. At this moment, Jin Lang seemed to have understood many things and what exactly was going on with the Golden Ship's actions today.
But he decided to pretend he knew nothing. Since the Golden Ship wasn't going to tell him anything, he wouldn't ask.
Chapter 395: The Debut Competition of the Emperor of the East Sea?
After that, things seemed to go much more smoothly for Jin Lang. Soon, after discussing with Madam Meguro, the consideration of marrying into the family was extended from now until "McQueen's career ended smoothly." For Jin Lang, this was equivalent to giving him a reprieve, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
McQueen is only four years old now, which means he's not even at his peak yet. His career, barring any unforeseen circumstances, can continue for at least two more years, and that's based on his current trajectory. With the help of Jinlang, it could extend for another year or two.
That's a long enough time, and for Jinlang, it's a small amount of time he's gained.
Now, Jinlang can finally focus his energy on the upcoming matches. The debut match for the East Sea Emperor is coming soon, and he must make sufficient preparations.
……
A few days later, a 'Pre-op' level race was about to begin at Kyoto Racecourse, and the number of people at Kyoto Racecourse that day was unusually large, with the entire stadium filled with supporters.
However, unlike other races, this one was entirely supported by a single horse girl. In fact, many horse girls from Treson Academy were also present, all there for the same horse girl.
"Welcome everyone to Kyoto Racecourse! The next race we're about to start is the Pre-op Kyokiku Sho! Although it's not a high-level race, the enthusiasm of the audience today is truly remarkable!"
"Emperor! Emperor! Emperor!" XN
However, no sooner had the commentator finished speaking than a thunderous cheer erupted from the audience in response, and the commentator smiled knowingly and said:
"That's right! The biggest focus of this match! One of the members of our strongest team this year from Treson Academy, the 'Miracle' team, is also the most popular player in this Chrysanthemum Awards match! —The Emperor of the East Sea!"
"This is her first race, and it's a race that crosses a different class. So, can she, who has always aspired to become an undefeated triple crown horse and replicate the legendary achievements of Emperor Rudolph, take the first step in her professional career?"
"It's finally here! The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition! The Emperor's first competition!"
Meanwhile, in the stands, Golden Ship and McQueen stood expectantly, hoping that the Emperor, whom they had always doted on like a younger sister within the team, could win this match—even though they were actually the same age, perhaps because the difference in their career start was so great that McQueen and Golden Ship now regarded the Emperor as a child.
On the other side, Chi Tian also brought his team of racehorse girls to watch the East Sea Emperor's debut. In the audience, Dong Shang Biange, who had been wielding his magic, said:
"IrosPendas! Your Majesty, you will definitely win this match!"
"Hehe, Dong Shang really hopes the Emperor can win." Zhen Jiling also smiled and said, "But I think magic isn't needed. The Emperor will definitely win this match."
"Hmm, if even the Emperor can't win a match of this level, then I'll have to reconsider whether she's even qualified to be my underling." The Golden Master said calmly from the side. She was just there to watch a match and relax a bit. Although the East Sea Emperor was always the one she beat up in training, she was very clear about the East Sea Emperor's abilities.
Team Miracle has absolutely no weak Uma Musume. Perhaps the Empress's talent hasn't been fully unleashed yet, but to say that she can't win a match without these abilities is a joke.
"Hmm? Chi Tian, what are you busy with?"
"It was an email from Wada. He said he's preparing to return home and will come back with the expedition team from Paris." Ikezoe, however, was indifferent to the race. He wasn't worried about whether Tokai could win; he was more concerned about how many horse lengths the Emperor could pull ahead of their opponents.
As one of the team's source of joy, Emperor's abilities are not only due to the teachings he received from senior Jinlang, but also to the extensive guidance and training he received from Ikezoe and Wada. Even the team's current mainstays, Golden Master and Good Opera, have not received such comprehensive training.
Moreover, every racehorse girl in the "Miracle" team has raced with Donghai Emperor in a friendly manner. Donghai Emperor practiced with Zhenjiling in short distances, and in middle and long distances, they were all villain-level opponents. Good Opera, Golden Master, Famous General Raging Waves, and Megumi McQueen, which one of them hasn't humiliated Donghai Emperor several times?
But every time, the East Sea Emperor would still be full of energy and continue training with them the next day. Especially after the East Sea Emperor got used to failure, she learned from her failures time and time again and narrowed the distance between herself and everyone.
In the mile race, Donghai Emperor is slightly lacking, but the newly joined Dongshang Reform has become Donghai Emperor's training target in this area. However, this has also made the mile race one of the few lengths that Donghai Emperor can win within the team.
In this regard, the Golden Master has a lot to say. At first, she could easily defeat the Emperor of the East Sea. But as she watched him improve day by day, her aura gradually increased from when she was holding back until she had to go all out.
Despite the brutal pressure, the East Sea Emperor's progress under such pressure was almost rapid. Even now, if the Golden Master didn't use her own domain and relied solely on her aura to suppress the East Sea Emperor, she wouldn't dare say she could leave him more than two horse lengths behind.
The famous general Nutao shared the same sentiment. The current situation was that even though the East Sea Emperor didn't possess [Aura] or [Domain], and even though everyone in the team was still crushing her as always, only the East Sea Emperor herself didn't know just how strong she had become.
And so, this scene unfolded in the racetrack of Uma Musume...
"Ah, I didn't expect my luck to be so bad, that I'm about to run into the Emperor of the East Sea."
"I should say we ran into the Miracle Team's Uma Musume. What bad luck! Their team's Uma Musume are all ridiculously strong!"
"First it was Good Opera, then the Golden Master, they've been ruling for two years now, haven't they? And now it's the East Sea Emperor. Can't you give us ordinary racehorse girls a break too?"
"Stop talking! The Emperor of the East Sea is right there. It wouldn't be good if she heard us."
"I'm saying... everyone, there's no need to be so pessimistic, right? What if, just what if we can win?"
"...Okay, don't look at me, I was just kidding, I don't even believe myself when I say this."
When the female horse racers participating in this race heard that their opponent was Donghai Emperor from the "Miracle" team, they all deflated from their high spirits during the race, feeling that they were just there to make up the numbers.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the East Sea Emperor, with her back to everyone and facing the wall, was unaware of the true state of this so-called genius racehorse girl...
"Why so fast? Are they going to go on stage now?"
"Calm down, Emperor of the East Sea. You, you're the racehorse girl of the 'Miracle' team, don't embarrass yourself. This time, if you just try a little harder, there's definitely still hope of winning, right?"
"Phew—phew—okay, I'm calming down now!"
No one could have imagined that Tokai Emperor, who has always been a highly anticipated genius racehorse girl, would appear so insecure and nervous as she approached the racetrack. She even reminded people of the insecure champion Nutao, who once competed on the track.
Unbeknownst to them, this East Sea Empress, known to the outside world as a genius horse racing girl, was actually a complete "bottom-of-the-barrel" within the "Miracle" team. Now, stepping onto the track, her immense nervousness stemmed from only one reason—
If a racehorse girl had [Aura] or [Domain] in this race, wouldn't she be doomed to lose?! Having been beaten down by reality too many times, the current Emperor of the East Sea thought so pessimistically.
Chapter 396: From Pioneer to Leader? The Golden Mist Emerging from the East Sea Emperor
"Oh no, oh no, what am I going to do... I'm going to become an undefeated triple crown racehorse girl, but I don't think I'm ready yet..."
Just before the race, the other racehorses had already begun to enter the arena one after another, but the most anticipated racehorse, Donghai Diwang, was still hesitant, seemingly lacking confidence in herself, and slowly moving forward.
For some reason, Donghai Diwang, who was initially full of fighting spirit about her debut, has become incredibly nervous once she gets to the racetrack. She has been reprimanded too many times within the team, to the point that her confidence has been almost completely eroded. At this moment, the thought that if she can't win this race, her dream of becoming an "undefeated triple crown racehorse girl" will be shattered is all too real.
At that point, she wouldn't be qualified to compete with the president, and she would also be exposed as the weakest active racer girl in the team...
"Your Majesty? What's wrong?"
"Huh?! Dragging, dragging Na down?"
At that moment, when the sound of the current wave rang out without warning behind the Emperor of the East Sea, the Emperor of the East Sea was so frightened that his tail and ears stood up immediately. He quickly hopped around 180 degrees and turned right in front of the person behind him.
"The match is about to start, if you're not going on stage soon, everyone will be getting impatient."
"I...I know, I'm a burden...but...I..."
However, the East Sea Emperor was at a loss for words. She was worried, but she couldn't say it to Jin Lang. So she tried to change the subject and relieve some of the pressure in her heart.
“Well, um, Turenna, your hat and clothes seem to have changed? They have the name Golden Ship printed on them, ah, I see McQueen's name too, and mine…”
"Oh, this is the team uniform I designed. This one is a sample."
Upon hearing this, Jin Lang also took off his hat. This outfit was specially designed by a specific clothing design store. It was mostly based on an outfit he wore when he retired, the one that featured the name "Golden Ship".
However, this outfit currently only has the name of Golden Ship, but also the names of Megumi McQueen and the Emperor of the East Blue—there are only three people for now. Jinlang plans to add a few more names and redesign it in the future if more racehorse girls join the team.
However, Jin Lang only discovered the problem after putting the clothes on – for someone with his old-man mentality, the clothes were indeed comfortable and suitable for sports, but the only problem was that they were too outdated.
Even compared to the sportswear of Beatrix College, it's even more outdated. It's all black, and the stripes are very monotonous. It might be okay for him to wear alone, but if you put this outfit on a few beautiful young women, it would look too old-fashioned.
"It's also because I didn't consider things carefully enough. This outfit looks fine on me, but it would be too outdated for you guys."
"Indeed, when I dragged you over just now, I thought I saw someone my dad's age approaching."
The Emperor of the East Sea nodded upon hearing this, his mood easing slightly. However, Jin Lang still noticed the tension between the Emperor's brows and was well aware of the pressure the child was under. He smiled and said:
