The shock wasn't because of Naze Fumino's departure that she came to confront Wada, but she still came for Naze Fumino's sake. She wanted to speak up for her beloved trainer and ask what the man who had won her trainer's heart was really thinking.

It was obvious to Daishin that Naise Fumino liked Wada. Before the Arc de Triomphe, Daishin was still full of confidence in his trainer's "love chase".

After all, even from her perspective as a racehorse girl, Fumino Naze is a stunning beauty who rivals any racehorse girl. Moreover, she is intelligent, rational, slightly arrogant, and has a strong-willed yet somewhat boastful personality. Aren't these qualities perfect for men who want to constantly show off their masculinity in front of beautiful women?

Especially since Wada is a rather expressive person. This gave Da Zhenhan a lot of confidence in his trainer—after all, men like women who give them opportunities to perform, don't they?

But the final result was a huge shock and surprise. Of course, she also paid attention to the competition between Good Opera and Hotan at the Arc de Triomphe. Although she was not very clear about what exactly happened between Good Opera and Hotan at the Arc de Triomphe, she could feel that after the Arc de Triomphe ended, a certain connection between Good Opera and Hotan was finally completely bound together at that moment.

—That was a blessing from the three goddesses. At that moment, Da Zhenzhen finally understood everything. She finally understood that the two of them, whose fates were intertwined, had moved the three goddesses, and from then on, their destinies would never be separated again.

However, this also made Da Zhen, who had originally been confident in his trainer, uneasy. Now, the relationship between Good Opera and Wada is a done deal, and even the Three Goddesses have acknowledged the bond between the two. Under such a bond, his trainer has no chance at all.

After all, this is the will of the Three Goddesses. The Three Goddesses are the highest authority in this world. For Saima Musume, everything can be said to be a blessing from the Three Goddesses, especially a blessing of this magnitude, which is enough to leave no room for others.

But Dae-jin was still more concerned about Naze Fumino's feelings. After she heard that Naze Fumino's departure was because Wada gave up the opportunity to Naze Fumino, she felt that she needed to ask Wada what he really thought of Naze Fumino.

This was, after all, a matter concerning the happiness of the person she cared about for the rest of his life, and such a shock could not be taken lightly. Therefore, this time, she unusually approached Hetian with a serious expression, hoping he could give her a satisfactory answer.

However, Da Zhenzhen was unaware that this problem had already been resolved within Hotan's team some time ago, although the process of resolving it was... quite arduous.

He Tian, ​​Hao Geju, and Nu Tao exchanged a glance. However, Hao Geju, unusually displeased, turned his head away without saying anything.

As for Nu Tao, she simply smiled gently and did not stop him.

Clearly, the two women's attitudes were quite clear. After that day, Wada seemed to have undergone some subtle changes in his thinking, and he could say things he couldn't say before.

He took a deep breath, then grabbed the hands of Nu Tao and Hao Geju, and said, word by word:

"I love opera, I love the raging waves, and I love Fumino Naze."

Is this answer... satisfactory?

However, by the end, even Wada himself wasn't very confident. But what shocked both the great heroine and the noblewoman was astonishment. His words left the two racehorse girls, who had never even been in a relationship, speechless for a moment. After a long pause, the great heroine finally realized what he meant and exclaimed incredulously:

"You—I thought you weren't the type to think about things like that! I never expected you to be so greedy!"

"I, I will never approve of Trainer Naze being with you! Absolutely!"

This caused a huge shock. Although neither the law nor the Three Goddesses strictly prohibited the marriage of horse girls from being one-on-one, human marriage was still one-on-one. In other words, you could only have one human wife, but you could have multiple horse girl wives.

But Da Zhenzhen knew very well that this human wife's status was of no advantage to his trainer, because what Wada cared about most was always good opera.

How can someone who doesn't put the people they cherish most first be accepted by Da Zhenhan? Even Naze Fumino herself knows very well that this is unacceptable!

Before Da Zhenhan could even speak, she suddenly felt the sky darken, as a strange shadow blocked the sunlight above her head.

Da Zhenyan subconsciously raised his head in a strange way, and at that moment, he met the gaze of a racehorse girl with slightly dark skin and a cold face, who was wearing the uniform of Treson Academy.

The moment the two women's eyes met, Da Zhensheng froze for a moment, and after a long while, he spoke tremblingly:

"Auspicious, an auspicious sign? What are you doing here...?"

"...It was a huge shock."

The cool-faced Ji Zhao finally recognized the face of the racehorse girl in front of her, who was quite petite to her. Without saying a word, Ji Zhao grabbed Da Zhenhan's slender waist and buried her head in Da Zhenhan's dark hair from behind, breathing heavily.

If this scene were performed by a man on a woman, it would undoubtedly be considered groping. However, for people who are truly close, it's just a slightly ambiguous gesture—of course, Ji Zhao doesn't care about Da Zhen's reaction; she just wants to hug Da Zhen and savor this familiar feeling that she's regained.

"A huge shock...it really is a huge shock."

"You're back! What a surprise!"

"Ah... I, I'm back... I left without saying goodbye after Arima Kinen... I'm so sorry." Meanwhile, Daikoku was also sweating profusely. She knew the consequences of her actions. After Arima Kinen's retirement, Daikoku vanished for a whole year. During that time, countless former friends and rivals frantically tried to contact her, but to completely fade from public view and cover up the Arc de Triomphe scandal, she never contacted them again.

A year later, the Great Shock returned from his refuge abroad. Sure enough, under the deliberate manipulation of the local media, the Great Shock gradually faded from people's sight, as if it had never existed. People stopped talking about the Great Shock.

Only Ji Zhao has been searching for the Great Shock's whereabouts, sending messages to the Great Shock every day. The Great Shock reads each message and marks them as "read," but never replies.

She thought she would probably never meet Ji Zhao again, but unexpectedly... they met here.

"Ji Zhao, why are you here? How... how did you find me?"

"...I made a deal with Tanino Misaki." But Kitcho still showed no intention of letting go of the shockwave, burying his head in the shockwave's hair and muttering:

“She said she had a way to find you, on the condition that I would help her protect that child named Suzuka during the Autumn Emperor’s Celebration… I agreed.”

"She said you would definitely be there for this ladies' race, so I'm sure I'll see you at the Arima Kinen race... She wasn't lying to me after all."

"...Why did you disappear in the first place? It was so shocking. Why did you disappear for so long? Do you know how much pain I was in during that time?"

"Aren't we good friends? Is there anything... that you can keep from telling me?"

"...I have my reasons, Kitcho, I didn't want this either." Upon hearing this, the expression on Daehan's face darkened slightly. She knew that when she, as a racehorse girl, was thinking about these issues, she could no longer be considered a pure racehorse girl.

No, rather, from the day she chose to join the club, she could no longer be considered a pure racehorse girl, right? She had too many things to consider, and her heart, which once only longed to run, could no longer be as reckless as before.

This scene left Hotan and his group looking at each other in bewilderment before quietly leaving the scene... They knew that at this moment, they should perhaps give their long-separated friends some private space.

Just then, Wada didn't know how to start explaining his relationship with Naise Fumino to Da Zhenzhen. Nearby, he saw Tanino Misaki giving him a thumbs-up, and silently thanked her in his heart.

Chapter 432: McQueen's Little Yearning

After the shocking farewell from Wada, Jinlang and Chitian took McQueen and the Golden Master to the hospital to recuperate. After a series of complicated examinations, the news from the doctor reassured them a little.

"Don't worry, they're all fine. No health problems were found. They're in very good health. It's just that the competition was too exhausting, which caused them to feel dizzy."

"The hospital can provide a few beds for recuperation. This Arima Memorial match was too exhausting. To avoid any potential problems, it would be best to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. But there shouldn't be any issues, so please don't worry."

And so, McQueen and the Master were temporarily admitted to a hospital in Tokyo for observation and treatment. Somewhat unexpectedly, McQueen, who was supposed to be slightly weaker in both mental strength and physical condition, was actually fine. In fact, he was physically stronger and mentally stronger. It was even said that he was pretending to be the Master during this hospitalization, as the doctor gave him rather strict instructions.

It was probably because the Arima Memorial event was so exhausting. The confrontation with the noblewoman, even for a Gold Master, had drained her mental energy to an enormous degree. It was as if her mental energy, which had been a bottomless pit, had been completely depleted, and it would be even more difficult to replenish it.

This time, the Golden Master will really need to rest for a long time—at least until her mental strength is fully restored, Chi Tian will definitely not allow her to participate in the competition again, and this process will probably last for a long time, two months? Three months? It's not clear, but it won't be short.

Fortunately, this doesn't hinder the Gold Master's training; she just needs to rest and won't be able to participate in the competition for a while. This isn't a major impact on the Gold Master.

Therefore, like McQueen, she only needs a few days of observation before being discharged from the hospital. During these few days, they will likely spend most of their time sleeping. Arima Kinen's ordeal this time has been far too taxing...

……

"Waaah..."

"How long have I been asleep?"

After resting in her hospital bed for an unknown amount of time, McQueen finally opened her hazy eyes and looked around with a slightly bewildered expression as night fell and everything outside was pitch black.

She didn't faint. Just before she fell asleep, Jin Lang patted her head to reassure her and help her sleep. Before that, with the Emperor's help, McQueen had taken a bath and changed into a hospital gown before he could finally put McQueen to sleep.

"Looks like... I actually slept until dark... I'm really tired this time..."

However, while McQueen was still talking to herself, a sound like the chirping of insects suddenly came from her stomach. Her stomach, which had been hungry all day, finally couldn't help but protest to its owner, causing McQueen to subconsciously cover her stomach and belatedly feel the hunger.

"I need to eat something... but it's so late, the hospital probably won't let us in or out, right?"

While McQueen was still searching her surroundings in a daze, as she slowly got up, she suddenly felt a slight weight in her hand. She subconsciously looked to her side and discovered another figure that had been sleeping beside her all along...

"Trainer..."

McQueen muttered something to himself without thinking, but immediately covered his mouth to prevent his voice from waking Jinlang, who was sleeping peacefully. He even became much smaller in his movements.

At that moment, McQueen noticed a square lunchbox on the bedside table next to the hospital bed. She carefully turned around, picked it up, and opened it. A warm current flowed up slightly, and the aroma that wafted over immediately roused the already hungry McQueen.

A very standard bento box. One compartment is for rice, which is sprinkled with a seasoning made of seaweed and sesame seeds, along with a pickled plum. The main dish consists of a hamburger patty and an octopus sausage, along with some vegetables at the bottom.

Of course, what caught McQueen's attention the most was a small square cake placed in a small spot to the side, as if it were prepared especially for McQueen—after all, that spot is usually used for side dishes in a bento box.

Such a small thing brought a smile to McQueen's face—a smile that naturally comes from feeling cared for.

In the quiet of the night, no one knew how this racehorse girl, who usually savored desserts while meticulously describing their deliciousness, managed to eat this bento box so carefully. However, when McQueen put down the lunchbox, if it weren't for the traces of sauce left inside, one might have thought it was a brand new lunchbox.

"Thank you for the treat... trainer."

"This is a small token of my gratitude."

McQueen gently touched Jin Lang's forehead with her finger, and the next second, she felt Jin Lang's body move slowly. She quickly and quietly withdrew her hand, and sure enough, Jin Lang finally woke up from his sleep.

"McQueen, you're awake." Jin Lang rubbed his eyes and instinctively looked towards his bedside. The empty lunchbox immediately brought a smile to his face as he said this.

“It looks like you’ve recovered. Is today’s lunchbox a little small? I specially borrowed the hospital’s kitchen. The hospital food is too bland for most people.”

"Yes, it's delicious, trainer." McQueen's face showed no embarrassment, and her ears stood up straight with renewed energy. She knew immediately that it was a bento made by Jin Lang, because Jin Lang had given them many bento boxes back in Treson Academy.

Of the three trainers, besides Ikezoe, Wada and Imai are both skilled in home cooking, so making a bento box is a piece of cake for them. Of course, Ikezoe simply doesn't like cooking. As for whether he can cook or not... at least Imai and Wada have never tasted Ikezoe's cooking. They don't know if he really can't cook or if he's just hiding his skills like Golden Ship.

Regardless, Jinlang's cooking skills, due to his age, are accumulated over time like his experience as a stable boy, and there is no problem with them. Since joining the team, Huangjinchuan has never cooked fried noodles again, and sometimes he even makes multiple bento boxes with Jinlang, turning to resell bento boxes.

Of course, Golden Ship never took a single penny of the profits; it all went to Jinlang, and Jinlang didn't take a single penny either, using it all as team expenses.

"So, what are your thoughts on Arima Kinen's victory this time?"

"...I'm not strong enough yet, Trainer, but this time, I was lucky enough to get first place. I believe I will gain more insights and become even stronger."

McQueen smiled slightly and said, "No need to worry about me, trainer... But what about the Empress? Don't you need to worry about her training?"

McQueen wasn't only concerned with the Emperor; rather, she knew that although the Golden Ships didn't seem to train much when she saw them, they actually had a unique training method. Moreover, the Emperor was weaker than the Golden Ships, so McQueen was more interested in the Emperor's training.

"As for the Empress... you understand, McQueen, she has the Rudolph symbol to take care of her, I don't think I need to worry."

Upon hearing this, Jin Lang's face showed a hint of helplessness. He had thought that it would only take some time for the Emperor to recover from the novelty of Lu Duo's arrival in their team, but he did not expect that so much time had passed and the Emperor's symptoms had not only not subsided, but had become even more severe.

This made Jinlang, who was Emperor's first trainer, feel a little annoyed, but not angry.

"But right now, McQueen, you need me more. Don't worry, I'll be here until you can be discharged."

But McQueen noticed Jin Lang's expression and then cautiously asked:

"Trainer, the Emperor isn't by your side...Are you lonely?"

"Loneliness... well, not quite. It's more like a sense of loss."

As expected, father and son are father and son. Even though their relationship no longer exists in this world, the emperor still naturally has a better feeling towards Rudo. This makes Jinlang, who loves every child as his own, feel a little uncomfortable, but he won't say anything.

Noticing Jin Lang's expression, McQueen paused for a moment before replying gently:

"...It's okay, trainer, I won't leave you."

"I will need your presence and your guidance more than ever before. As I grow, I've come to realize that you are far more capable than any of us could have imagined."

Chapter 433: Everything Jin Lang Wants to Change

"It's alright, trainer. No matter what happens to the Emperor, I will always be by your side."

"So, there's no need to feel lonely, trainer. We should focus more on what's to come, shouldn't we?"
