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

"...Huh?"

However, the East Sea Emperor, who had already crossed the finish line, seemed to have no idea what was happening. The East Sea Emperor, who had been waiting for someone to overtake her all the way, didn't feel any of this as she crossed the finish line. She even turned her head curiously and just happened to see several racehorse girls still rushing towards the finish line.

Are people all running so slowly? For a moment, this thought crossed the mind of the East Sea Emperor. The victory, which was won so easily, even made her, who was "weathered by time," feel somewhat unrealistic.

It wasn't until the resounding cheers of "Emperor" echoed throughout the arena that the Emperor of the East Sea belatedly realized what was happening. A hint of joy returned to his face, and after hopping around for a bit, he finally revealed a relaxed smile.

"Hehe, this kind of competition is a piece of cake! Maybe next time I can challenge a higher-level competition!"

"Perhaps it's not that I, Your Majesty, am too strong, but rather that my opponents are too weak? I'll try the GIII match next time!"

The East Sea Emperor finally realized that her strength was not as weak as she had imagined. Many of her fellow racehorse girls were like her, and had not reached the level of mental strength. So now, with her advantage in training, it seemed only natural that she could beat them.

It seems that the "master boss" was purely an accident; not every year, a Uma Musume (horse girl) can debut with such terrifying strength.

At least, he's one step closer to his undefeated treble! The Emperor of the East Sea was overjoyed, but unexpectedly, he didn't show it too much. Perhaps this victory didn't give the Emperor much of a sense of accomplishment.

But at least, this allowed her to regain some confidence. She had already verified and experienced her own strength, and fully understood that it wasn't that she was too weak, but rather that her former opponents were simply too powerful.

"Looks like it's time to prepare for the post-match interviews."

Jin Lang was not surprised at all by the result. This match was just the beginning of the Emperor's dream of an undefeated three-time champion. There were still many more major matches that Jin Lang needed to pay attention to.

Meanwhile, McQueen and Golden Ship, who were applauding from the sidelines, naturally felt that the victory was well-deserved. However, Golden Ship noticed that while everyone was still cheering for the victory of the East Sea Emperor, a familiar figure wearing sunglasses slowly got up, pulled up his mask, and left the scene.

"Isn't that the president?" Golden Ship recognized him at a glance, but he wasn't surprised at all. After all, it was the East Sea Emperor's debut battle, and this fatherly figure had no reason not to be there.

"But... I'm actually in the same cohort as the Emperor... Although I have absolutely no interest in the Triple Crown, if the Emperor has no rivals, he probably doesn't feel any sense of accomplishment winning, right?"

So, shouldn't we put more pressure on the emperor? At this moment, the golden ship, who was going to compete alongside the emperor of the East Sea, had this thought in mind. Facing this companion who had not yet unleashed her potential, she felt it was necessary to take on the responsibility of being the emperor's strongest opponent this time.

Just like how the raging waves feel about a good opera, the Golden Ship is still deciding whether to give it his all or slack off as usual.

She didn't want to ruin the East Sea Emperor's dream of an undefeated three-crown reign, but now that their classic years have clashed, they will inevitably face off in the classic three-crown competition.

"Well then, let's make the rest of the match a little more interesting." Golden Ship smiled and clapped, already having his own plans in mind.

Everything that followed went very smoothly. During the on-field interview, Donghai Diwang, dressed in somewhat outdated sportswear, was unwilling to take it off. As she stood with Jinlang, basking in the spotlight, a reporter suddenly asked:

"So, Miss Tokai, with this victory that was a foregone conclusion, and the formidable strength you displayed, does this mean that Team Miracle will dominate the entire Japanese horse racing scene for the third consecutive year?"

Faced with this question, the East Sea Emperor, who was usually seen as very confident, became somewhat hesitant and scratched his head. After a brief exchange of glances with Jin Lang, he humbly replied:

"Although I'm the worst player on the team... if I can do it, I'm sure I can perform to the level that matches our team!"

"I have the best trainer and the best teammates. Even if I'm the weakest of the current Uma Musume members in the team, I will never be easily defeated!"

"My goal is to remain undefeated and win three championships without a single loss!"

Chapter 399: A Fine Opera and Khotan's Return Home

"East Sea Emperor, in its first battle against Yellow Chrysanthemum Sho, won by a large margin and its goal is to become an undefeated Triple Crown racehorse girl."

"President, could you please stop looking at that report? You've been staring at that newspaper for hours today. Are those pictures of emperors really that good-looking?"

Inside the student council, as Lu Duo once again involuntarily read the words aloud, Qi Cao, standing nearby, handed Lu Duo a cup of coffee while reminding him with a slightly troubled expression:

"Although we are about to leave, please finish the wrap-up work for this period of time. Didn't you say you didn't want to leave any extra work for the next student council president?"

"Is it that obvious? It seems I really did let my guard down."

Upon hearing this, Lu Duo couldn't help but put down her newspaper. Even so, her expression still couldn't help but spread a smile, as if the East Sea Emperor published in the newspaper was her own child, doing something that made her, as a parent, extremely proud.

Yesterday, the Emperor of the East Sea achieved a great victory at the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Festival, and Lu Duo, as a symbol, naturally went to the scene to watch. To be honest, she was very uneasy.

Since she introduced the East Sea Emperor to Jinlang, she has not interfered with any arrangements regarding the East Sea Emperor's training. She also gave Jinlang a request very similar to that of Old Madam Meguro: to ensure the safety of the East Sea Emperor while allowing her to gain as much honor as possible.

This task was difficult, especially after Rudo Symbol learned about the hidden danger in the East Sea Emperor's legs. She was terrified every time she watched the Emperor run. However, Rudo Symbol chose to trust Jinlang, believing that this trainer, whose knowledge and experience seemed completely at odds with his appearance, could help the Emperor avoid these dangers...

Now, a year has passed, and it seems that the results are finally in sight. Megumi McQueen's consecutive victories in the Spring and Autumn Emperor's Awards gave Rudolf a glimmer of hope, and now, the smooth debut of the East Sea Emperor, along with the formidable strength he displayed from the very beginning, has finally put Rudolf's heart at ease.

The Emperor's current strength—while not as terrifying as that of a monster like the Golden Master who awakened his [Aura] upon his debut—is now completely on par with the great operas performed under Wada's guidance.

Such results were enough to put Rudolf's mind at ease. As long as no truly terrifying opponent appeared, given the emperor's potential, achieving an undefeated triple crown seemed to be a realistic and attainable dream.

"Are you that happy? President, it was just an easy match."

Qi Kao, however, didn't quite understand Rudo's symbolic joy and couldn't help but chuckle as he asked, "It seems that your judgment drops whenever it comes to matters concerning emperors, Chairman."

"This is just a Pre-level competition. With such good conditions and resources under the training of Jinlang trainers, it is not surprising that the Empress can grow to this level, not to mention that she has unique talent."

"President, among us, who had a better start than Emperor? So, a small victory is nothing to Emperor, right?"

"What pleases me is not the emperor's victory, but the emperor's next words."

Upon hearing this, Lu Duo immediately understood that Qi Cao hadn't seriously read the entire report—which made sense, given how busy Qi Cao was; he rarely had the leisure to sit down and read the newspaper.

Moreover, as the resignation date approached, Rudolf really started slacking off more and more, to the point that even a slacker like Narita Shirahito had to deal with the documents. You can imagine how busy Rudolf had been during this period.

"The words of an emperor?"

"Yes, Qi Kao, based on your understanding of the Empress from the past, do you think she would publicly declare that she is the weakest member of the team in a public setting?"

"This……"

Rudolf's words startled Qi Cao slightly. She even put down what she was doing and picked up the newspaper from Rudolf's hand in disbelief. After a long while, she couldn't help but ask, "...Your Majesty, did you really say that?"

"It seems our undefeated genius has changed a lot this past year, becoming more humble," Lu Duo said with a smile and a nod.

"She has grown, but it seems that she has grown in a way that is not like herself anymore. The Empress's running style is perfect, but she clearly lacks confidence. This victory in the race not only means that she has taken a step closer to her goal, but also that she has become more confident."

"I think this is thanks to our trainer Jinlang, as well as the other female racehorses of the Miracle Team. They have smoothed out the pride and temperament of the emperor into something as gentle as a flowing river."

"That's a good thing for the emperor," Qi Cao said with a smile. "She was indeed too arrogant, but within the Miracle Team, she seems to have finally understood the saying that there are always people better than you, and the sky's the limit."

"That's right, the air tank, that's what makes me happy."

Lu Duo also nodded with a smile. At least for now, Lu Duo was very satisfied with the results achieved by the Emperor of the East Sea.

If only the emperor could win the three crowns without illness or disaster, Lu Duo Xiang Shu felt that this dream was not so far away now. Her life after resigning was about to begin, and at that time... Lu Duo Xiang Shu also had her own plans.

……

After some time had passed since the East Sea Emperor's match, the day of the Japan Cup was finally drawing closer, and on this day, the expeditionary force from Paris finally arrived in Tokyo, Japan.

As the elevator slowly descended, the Japanese journalists who had already gathered at the airport were ready to go. On the side, Ikezoe and Imai, as well as the team's Uma Musume (girls' mascots), were also waiting there.

They were both waiting for the same person to appear—strictly speaking, two people.

"Is this Japan? It seems I'll have to rely on you for the rest of the journey."

"Leave it to us. I'm quite familiar with the Good Opera in Tokyo—the exit is this way. If you go that way, you won't get out of the airport."

"Hahahaha, I was just joking. Ryuji, stick close to me."

Amidst laughter and cheers, the group from Paris finally appeared at the airport exit. But just as they stepped out, a sudden burst of firecrackers startled them all.

"Welcome back to the triumphant Arch victorious team!" At this moment, amidst the cheers of the Japanese reporters and the flashing lights of their cameras, the Wada, Kogeki, and Nobunaga entourage, who had prepared for a low profile, were all taken aback by the welcoming ceremony.

"I was hoping to keep a low profile, but it seems there's no other way." Wada helplessly removed his mask and sunglasses, and Hao Geju did the same, before smiling and saying:

"After all, our glory is so dazzling! Ryuji!"

"Are all welcoming ceremonies in Japan this grand? Although it's not to welcome me." The noble family members standing to the side, though somewhat expecting it, were still surprised by the lineup. But it also shows that the Arc de Triomphe truly holds extraordinary significance for Japan.

Before the group could finish talking, a figure quickly pushed through the crowd and walked out. Before Wada could react, he felt a large, soft touch and was suddenly embraced.

"Raging waves... it's been a long time."

"...Hmm, long time no see, trainer."

Nu Tao, his eyes red, buried his face in He Tian's chest, refusing to let go. This scene caused the Japanese reporters' flashbulbs to go off even faster.

This is big news! Everyone already knows that at the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix, the opera singer proposed to her trainer. Now, as another female horse racer in Wada, Nutao's relationship with her seems to be quite special as well. This has made Japanese reporters smell a hint of bloodshed.

All they wanted to say was: Hurry up, bring us more, we haven't seen enough yet.

Meanwhile, the opera singer, after a slight stiffening of his expression, felt he should remind his most favored subject that she had already taken the most crucial step.

Chapter 400: The Overlord has successfully graduated!

"Hahahaha! Isn't this my most beloved minister? It's been so long!"

Good Opera tried to grab Nu Tao's arm that was holding He Tian, ​​but Nu Tao's arm, which looked very soft, was surprisingly strong. Good Opera tried to use force but Nu Tao didn't budge an inch. Good Opera then changed its approach and said to Nu Tao:

"After such a long separation, shouldn't my most beloved minister give the returning Overlord a hug? Let us celebrate our victory together!"

"Waaah..."

However, with Hao Geju saying this, Nu Tao had no choice but to reluctantly pull his cheek away from He Tian's chest, and then embrace Hao Geju again.

"Congratulations on your victory at the Arc de Triomphe, dear opera student."

"Hahahaha! It was just an inevitable result!" Good Opera hugged Nu Tao briefly, and the two women quickly separated. Nu Tao's eyes looked at the bandage still wrapped around Good Opera's leg, and a few tears of heartache appeared in her eyes.

"Good opera student...your legs..."

"No problem, Nutao. I've recovered enough to walk again. It's just a minor fracture. The legend of the Overlord is far from over."

Upon hearing this, Good Opera subconsciously looked at her leg. With the help of the doctors at the Paris hospital and Lao Su, it had finally recovered to some extent and was now enough for her to stand up and walk.

It has to be said, isn't this the constitution of Uma Musume no Hikari? If an ordinary person breaks a bone, it would take at least half a year to recover their mobility, but Uma Musume no Hikari recovered to the point of being able to walk in just half a month after treatment.

Seeing that Nu Tao looked like he was about to cry, Good Opera, though a competitor, was also a partner, and still smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Nutao, I'll still be competing next year. Maybe we'll even have a chance to face each other again. You'd better watch out."

"A thorny path won't make me, the overlord, detour. Instead, traversing it will only make me stronger. Raging Waves, you'd better watch out."

Good Opera patted Nu Tao on the shoulder, then very naturally put his arm around Hotan's arm, standing with Hotan in a very natural and friendly manner.

This time, Wada didn't resist, seemingly already used to their way of interacting. Their actions were so natural that even the reporters didn't notice, continuing to take photos as usual.

At this moment, Ikezoe and Ijinami finally emerged from the crowd. After seeing Wada, they merely nodded to him, and then Ijinami spoke first:

"This is not the place to talk, everyone, let's go."

"Alright—Miss from a prominent family, please stay close to us."

Faced with such a large group of reporters, the three of them couldn't possibly have anything to say here; they needed to find a relatively quiet and private environment immediately. Upon hearing Jin Lang's suggestion, He Tian and his group immediately prepared and ran out together.

It wasn't until they had run far away that the group of reporters realized what was happening. Without saying a word, they grabbed their cameras and rushed forward. However, they hadn't gone far when they were stopped by a group of disguised black-clad female bodyguards. All the bodyguards were female horse girls from the Mejiro and Golden families who were playing the roles.

It wasn't until Wada and his group got into the car that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The Mejiro family's luxury car was very spacious, enough for everyone to sit. As soon as Wada got in the car, before he even had a chance to take off his mask, Ikezoe couldn't hide his excitement and gave him a big hug.
