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

"Unbelievable! The Golden Master and the Lady crossed the finish line almost simultaneously! The difference was almost imperceptible. Due to the limitations of our equipment and the fact that both female racehorses are equally formidable, after much discussion, we have finally decided that the Golden Master and the Lady will tie for second place in this year's Arima Kinen!"

However, when the commentator uttered those words with a hint of insecurity, unsurprisingly, the entire audience erupted in uproar. Instantly, gasps of surprise, discussions, and various expressions of dissatisfaction arose, making the commentator feel immense pressure, as if the gazes around him were piercing him like needles.

Don't treat me like this. I'm just here to report information. This conclusion came from the referee team. I don't make the decision.

However, the commentator's despair was something no one but herself could understand. Amidst the clamor of discussion from the audience, the female racehorses on the track remained completely oblivious.

The incredibly brutal and intense Arima Kinen has finally come to an end. At this moment, no matter how strong the race girls were before the race, they all collapsed on the ground, exhausted. They had given their all in this race, pushing themselves to their absolute limits, limits they had never experienced before.

"Hahaha……"

The goldsmith and the noblewoman lay on the ground head to head, their heavy breathing mingling together. Fortunately, they had finally regained a little bit of their sanity and strength, enough to talk.

"...Lady, you've won this time." The Goldsmith, gazing at the overcast sky that seemed poised for a downpour, perhaps utterly exhausted, lacked even the strength to be angry, and spoke faintly:

"But I haven't lost either. I've figured out the weakness of your [domain]. Next time, if we meet again, I'm sure I can beat you."

"No, I am the loser, Master Goldsmith." The noblewoman, however, slightly turned her head away, enduring the aches and weakness throughout her body, and replied:

"You finally defeated Daiyusaku, albeit with just one move, but the strain on you at that time was immense... If you hadn't defeated Daiyusaku first before turning to deal with me and McQueen, given your stamina, you shouldn't have collapsed like this..."

"And this time your physical strength is not at its peak... To be honest, I am very surprised that you can recover to this level in just one month."

“This time it’s my defeat, Gold Master. Your strength is above mine. You dragged your tired body to participate in this Arima Memorial match just to fight me... Even if I win this match, it will be an unfair victory for me.”

The lady was completely different in the competition compared to her usual self. On the field, she could completely disregard what she was told and would stop at nothing to win.

However, after the match, the noblewoman was able to rationally analyze her mistakes and objectively evaluate her opponent's strength with a calm attitude, which is very rare. She did not boast or say things like "a win is a win". She knew very well that there were many variables in the match and many factors that could affect performance. It was just that this time, she was actually a little luckier than the Golden Master.

If the Golden Master hadn't only figured out the true nature of her [Domain] much later, if he hadn't suffered a loss due to his lack of understanding of her at the beginning, and if he hadn't defeated the dark horse, Daiyusaku, for her, the ranking in this competition would probably be hard to predict.

This time, the Golden Master was at an extreme disadvantage. She hadn't fully recovered, didn't understand her opponents, suffered a major outburst from Daisaku, and had to fight against both McQueen and the Lady. All these factors combined to make her finish second, along with the lucky Lady.

Otherwise, the winner of this competition would be hard to say. The noblewoman was already aware of this.

If they were to fight again, given that the noblewoman's [domain] had been exposed, she dared to say that the outcome of her battle against the Golden Master would be completely different. The weakness of her [domain] had been revealed; the Golden Master could make many mistakes, while she would likely be defeated in just two.

This was perhaps the closest she had ever come to the master of gold. The noblewoman shook her head with a bitter smile; she knew that she had already lost.

"Without me, you would probably have won this match, Master of Gold. Now, I acknowledge that you are qualified to challenge my teacher."

"No, no, no, you're a mares, aren't you? I'm a stallion, and my stamina is better than yours. I lost this time."

"Are you going to try and take this from me too? I said I lost, and that's final. Just accept it."

However, the two competitive racehorse girls, who were determined to win at the beginning, now even argued over who lost. After a few words, they got more and more excited and actually sat up on the grass, glaring at each other with displeasure.

However, after a long while, it was unclear who first smiled, but then the goldsmith and the noblewoman both burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!" X2

"Let's run another race next time, Lady." The Gold Master said to the Lady with a delighted expression. Although exhausted, she was still full of fighting spirit as she said, "I will definitely beat you next time!"

"Then you'd better be careful. If you don't rein in your temper, you'll make a lot of enemies. If you get surrounded and attacked, I won't help you."

The noblewoman smiled and nodded, but she knew that she probably wouldn't have the chance. She was about to embark on an expedition, and her next return would likely be for the Takarazuka Memorial. Whether she would have the opportunity to fight the Golden Master by then was still unknown.

But at least it feels good to have such an opponent. Who would have thought that the Golden Family would occasionally produce a few normal people?

The noblewoman had expected her first failure to be devastating, but when it happened, it didn't feel so bad. She smiled with relief, and having regained some strength, slowly rose to her feet and said to the goldsmith:

"Keep moving forward, Gold Master. I know you'll go even further. This time I broke your winning streak, but you also broke mine. Let's call it even."

"But I still have a piece of advice for you—my teacher is much stronger than me. If you really want to defeat my teacher, then you must break through your own limits and find a way to achieve the purest form of power."

"Relying on [Domain] and [Aura] is not enough to surpass the Great Shock. All of this will vanish in the face of the Great Shock—remember this well, Golden Master."

"Then, farewell, Master of Gold. This time, I willingly admit defeat."

Yes, willingly. For the first time, the noblewoman voluntarily admitted her defeat, and she accepted it wholeheartedly. This was difficult for her to accept, having never experienced failure before, but for her now, seemingly having gained some understanding, it was not hard to comprehend.

The moment the noblewoman admitted her defeat, the goldsmith, who had been panting heavily, suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment surge into her brain, as if every cell in her body had started breathing again, making her feel refreshed.

Once again, the Golden Master's inner knot slowly untied—even though she didn't win the Arima Memorial this time, and she didn't defeat the Lady in terms of the race result, she did defeat the Lady's proud heart.

This is even harder than defeating a racehorse girl in a race. To make a proud racehorse girl admit defeat to you wholeheartedly, that is the way "Golden Tyrant" races.

Rice Bath, Special Week, Mipu Bourbon, and now the Noble Lady—every single one of them expressed their heartfelt admiration for her defeat. Her victory was not merely a complete triumph over all the racehorse girls, but also the recognition and respect she earned from each of them.

Chapter 428: McQueen: That thing hit me with a soft mist

"The winner of this year's Arima Kinen is Megumi McQueen! She defeated the Gold Master and Lady, who had dominated the Classic Year, with her strength in the Year of the Horse, and ended their GI winning streak, thus winning this year's Arima Kinen."

"This was undoubtedly Megumi McQueen's most powerful performance yet. She defeated the Goldsmith, the Lady, and the sudden and fierce attack of Daiyusaku, defeating all the powerful enemies and winning the final victory."

As the narration faded, the Golden Master watched the noblewoman depart gracefully before slowly rising and walking towards Megure McQueen. Now that she had let go of her worries, she extended her hand to McQueen, who respectfully shook hands with her.

“You won this time, McQueen, but I’ll win next time.”

"I was just lucky. If my trainer hadn't reminded me, I probably wouldn't have been so calm," McQueen said modestly. "To be honest, I had already given up when Daisaku caught up."

"I wanted her to achieve this honor, but you defeated her and made me the champion... To be honest, without you, I might have lost."

“If it were one-on-one, I probably wouldn’t be your match. I just got lucky this time.”

McQueen has indeed undergone a magnificent transformation, and is now a true powerhouse among racehorse girls. However, she is also well aware that this is because she has broken through her own limits, but it does not mean that she can actually defeat the Golden Master.

The Goldsmith's power is undeniable. If it weren't for the duel she had agreed upon with the noblewoman, even if it were just a duel between the two women, McQueen and Daisaku together, they probably wouldn't be a match for the Goldsmith.

The Golden Master's ability to resist mental power is simply too strong, and her offensive capabilities are also very high. Her [Domain] is simply no match for McQueen's [Domain], which is more inclined to support.

As for Daisaku, he was even worse. Although his [Domain] was very powerful, it was forcibly activated, so his aura was unstable and he was also very fragile. He was shattered by the Golden Master in an instant—and that was when the Golden Master was at his last gasp.

It can be said that Daiyusaku's "Domain" was utterly vulnerable in front of the Golden Master. She was probably defeated before she could even make a move. The reason she still has the opportunity to shine is because the Golden Master did not regard her as an opponent from the beginning and focused on the noblewoman.

Otherwise, Daisaku wouldn't even have a chance to perform; he would be crushed before he could even get into the zone.

But... perhaps this is better for her. At least she won't have any expectations. And now, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. The feeling of losing the last chance at victory completely is probably not a good one.

"Speaking of which, Senior McQueen, why does the lady's [domain] seem to have no effect on you? That guy's [domain] gave me a lot of trouble. Even with my physical abilities, I was beaten pretty badly by her. Why didn't you feel anything?"

"Well... I'm not quite sure either. At first, I thought I would lose speed due to exhaustion... but the lady's [domain] doesn't seem to have any effect on me."

As for this, Megumi McQueen herself wasn't entirely sure. She carefully recalled the impact of the noblewoman's domain on her at the time, but answered uncertainly:

"But the lady's [domain] felt to me like I accidentally bumped into someone, but apart from making me slow down a little, it didn't have as much of an impact as I had imagined."

"Could it be that the noblewoman's [domain] is actually a form of mental interference? And that my [Pure White Rhythm] is restraining her?"

Megumi McQueen's "Pure White Rhythm" grants her immunity to all mental interference-type "domain" effects, but she also sensed the domain of the noblewoman who had fought the Golden Master for three hundred rounds. Megumi McQueen did not consider the noblewoman's domain to be a form of mental interference.

Just like an outstanding quality that has not yet been awakened, the intimidation of a domain as strong as Tanino Misaki's was completely ineffective against Megumi McQueen, like a stone sinking into the sea. It did not affect her in the slightest. However, the noblewoman's influence at the time was indeed there—McQueen did not think that the noblewoman's domain had been cultivated to a level stronger than that of Tanino Misaki.

So there's no doubt that the Lady's Domain worked on McQueen, but why was the effect so minimal? When the Golden Master was hit, he looked as if he'd been stabbed in the heart, his face turning deathly pale. How come she was unharmed?

"Could it be that she's out of energy? Is that why she couldn't unleash her domain against me?"

"Regardless, you won this time, McQueen, but if we meet again at the next Arima Kinen, I will definitely get my revenge!"

The Golden Master changed the subject, but kept McQueen's guess in mind. Clearly, the Lady's [Domain] had drastically different effects on different racehorse girls. For her, the Lady's attack was quite powerful, but for McQueen, it had little effect.

Could it be that the noblewoman's domain has little effect on the horse racer with the goose feathers? The goldsmith wondered to himself, but he didn't have a definite answer.

Just then, Chi Tian and Jin Lang rushed over from the audience. The East Sea Emperor, who had run all the way, was the first to arrive. He immediately ran up to McQueen and the Master and shouted:

"McQueen~ Master Boss!"

"Wow! You guys are all amazing! McQueen actually managed to win this Arima Kinen match! You're truly incredible!"

"Yes, McQueen, your tactical choice this time was absolutely correct." Following closely behind, Jinlang, who had walked alongside the Golden Ship and the symbol of Rudolf, nodded gently at McQueen, offering undisguised praise:

"Your tactical choice this time was very correct. You avoided the fierce clash between the Golden Master and the Noblewoman, maximized your advantages, and concealed the full power of your domain, allowing you to amplify your advantage once again."

"To be honest, if Daisaku hadn't suddenly unleashed his momentum and potential at the last moment, you really would have won."

"That's why you told me to be wary of Daiyusaku, Trainer." But Megumi McQueen was not proud at all. She knew that if the Golden Master hadn't defeated Daiyusaku at the crucial moment, she would have actually lost to him.

"My strength is still not enough... and my abilities are not refined enough... but I will continue to work hard, trainer."

"Next time, I will win fair and square on my own merits, I promise."

“I’m looking forward to it.” Jin Lang nodded gently upon hearing this, while Rudolf and the Golden Ship beside him also smiled, both very happy with McQueen’s answer.

"Hehe, McQueen is really amazing, but I won't lose either!" The East Sea Emperor said with high spirits, "I've already learned some very powerful abilities from the Chairman! I won't lose to anyone either."

"Really? Then I'll look forward to it..."

However, before McQueen could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, and his steps faltered slightly.

Fortunately, Jin Lang reacted quickly and caught Megumi McQueen's swaying body. The next moment, Megumi McQueen suddenly went limp and collapsed into Jin Lang's arms, startling everyone.

"What's wrong?! McQueen? You—"

"I, I'm fine... I just felt a momentary blackout..." Megumi McQueen was only belatedly aware of her fatigue. Although she hadn't engaged in a mental battle as fiercely and ruthlessly as the Goldsmith and the Lady, her mental energy expenditure today was truly at the level of giving it her all.

"I guess I'm just too tired... I suddenly feel like I have no energy left..."

"Just let me lean on you for a moment... I'll be able to walk by myself once I've regained my senses..."

"That won't do. I need to take you for a medical check-up."

Seeing McQueen's limp and exhausted state, Lang knew that McQueen was completely drained. Then, he bent down slightly and picked McQueen up in his arms.

—It seems a little heavier than I expected. Jin Lang thought to himself as he picked up McQueen.

At this moment, the goldsmith, who had been holding on, was slightly stunned when she saw McQueen being picked up by Jin Lang like this. She then subconsciously looked at Chi Tian...

"Ah... I suddenly feel so weak too."

"Huh? Orphie?!"

Chi Tian was startled by the Golden Master's actions, but Chi Tian acted faster than the Golden Master had anticipated, picking her up without hesitation and immediately saying:

"I've exhausted too much... Kallen-chan, little witch, let's take Orphie to rest for a bit."

"Okay~" Both Zhen Jiling and Dong Shang Biange replied in the same way. Zhen Jiling had obviously seen through the Golden Master's little tricks, but as for Dong Shang Biange, she really didn't understand at all.

The Arima Memorial event has finally come to a perfect end. At this moment, the opera singer who had been standing with Wada noticed a figure on the side—an unremarkable figure who quietly chose to leave the stage.

Daiyusaku. This child, whose hope had just been glimpsed only to be completely shattered, has lost her final victory, leaving her now looking lifeless, like a walking corpse.

The opera silently took all of this in, and new plans began to form in her mind...
