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

"The old man was planning to give it to you later, but since he saw that Senior Rudolf gave you the Victory Suit, he was too embarrassed to give it to you." The Golden Ship didn't give the East Sea Emperor any time to think about this issue. It immediately took out the box containing the Victory Suit that Jin Lang had given her last time and placed it in front of the Emperor.

"Open it and take a look, Your Majesty! The things inside were all bought with the old man's own money! I felt so sorry for him when I saw how empty his wallet was!"

"Is it that valuable?! I'll definitely cherish it!"

The East Sea Emperor was slightly startled upon hearing this. Although she hadn't considered returning the gift—after all, it wouldn't be right to refuse a gift given to her—she hadn't expected Jin Lang to buy her such an expensive gift. She immediately decided to cherish it and couldn't wait to open it and see what it was.

But this weight... it feels kind of familiar... There seems to be a set of clothes inside...

Before the emperor could ponder his doubts for long, his pupils constricted slightly and his mouth dropped open involuntarily the moment she took out the "Phoenix" final outfit.

"well--!!"

"This, isn't this the final battle outfit?! Really? I'm so sorry, I made Na buy this for me!"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you're so happy you're practically shouting! It's a pity the old man isn't here, otherwise he would be very happy!"

The golden ship, however, pretended not to see the astonishment and surprise on the East Sea Emperor's face, and happily raised its hands high, then said to the Emperor:

"This is the perfect battle outfit for you, Your Majesty, bought by the old man himself, on installment. It's called 'Phoenix'! It's super cool!"

"It's a pity that Senior Rudolf presented it to the Emperor before the old man did, but I think it would be better to give this outfit to you, Your Majesty, since it was a gift from the old man!"

"Alright, Your Majesty, when the time comes at the Satsuki Sho, wear this decisive outfit and let's settle this score! Lord Goldship, I absolutely will not lose!"

Having said all that, the Golden Ship gave the Emperor no time to react, and immediately put its hands on its hips and laughed, "Alright, the message has been delivered! I, the Golden Ship, should go back and establish warp coordinates with everyone on Golden Star—goodbye!"

"Aaaaaah—wait, Golden Ship-san! I already have this final outfit—"

However, by the time the emperor realized what was happening, the golden ship had already vanished without a trace, leaving the emperor of the East Sea alone, holding the decisive battle robe in his hand, a troubled expression on his face as he muttered to himself:

"what to do……"

The trainer and the president both gave me the final outfit, but I can only wear one set in the GI competition. But no matter which final outfit I wear, the other one will be unhappy, right?

Why did you suddenly put Your Majesty in such a complicated situation? At this moment, the Emperor of the East Sea, who was enjoying the care of his two closest people, felt an extraordinary pressure, a pressure called "concern".

Chapter 451: Rudol's Symbolic Invitation to a Date

"Waaaaah... What should I do?"

In the cafeteria, the East Sea Emperor, having finished her day's training under the symbolic supervision of Lu Duo, casually poked at the omelet rice in front of her with her chopsticks. This omelet rice, painstakingly prepared by a highly skilled chef, was riddled with small holes by the Emperor's chopsticks, with steaming hot egg liquid overflowing out. She was completely taken aback.

Before the Emperor of the East Sea, Lu Duo, naturally noticing the Emperor's troubled expression, couldn't help but ask:

"You've been so nonchalant since the start of training, Your Majesty. What's wrong?"

"Huh? Was I that obvious?"

The emperor, whose inner turmoil had been exposed, subconsciously came to his senses and noticed that Lu Duo had been looking at her with a concerned gaze. He smiled and said:

"I could tell you were careless during training, Your Majesty. If you don't believe me, compare your finishing time this time with how many seconds you were behind yesterday."

"What happened? Can you tell me in detail?"

"That... is about dragging Na down."

However, the emperor answered somewhat awkwardly, and Lu Duo also found it quite strange, tilting his head and asking, "Mr. Jinlang? What happened? He doesn't seem like the type to cause trouble for others."

Rather, he's the kind of person who would rather be in a lot of trouble himself than see others suffer. Lu Duo added this to herself. Although she hadn't known Jin Lang for long, based on her interactions with him, she didn't think someone as reliable as Jin Lang would cause trouble for the emperor.

There must be some misunderstanding behind this. This is Rudolf's symbolic idea.

"No..." With Ludo as a symbol of venting, the emperor was finally able to express his troubles, and said in a muffled voice:

"Torena... he also bought me a set of final battle outfits. Golden Ship gave me this set of final battle outfits. I heard it was because he saw that you, the guild master, had given me a set of final battle outfits before, and Torena felt embarrassed to give it to me again."

"I have this final outfit now, but I suddenly don't know what to do with it... Guild Master, tell me, which outfit should I wear to the Satsuki Awards? I'm having such a hard time choosing!"

"Mr. Jinlang also bought a Finale outfit?" Lu Duo was slightly taken aback when she heard this. She had just realized why Jinlang's expression was so stiff when he saw the Emperor running out in the Finale outfit in the lounge after Young Colt S.

However, Mr. Jinlang actually bought a special set of decisive clothes for the emperor? This was something Lu Duo hadn't expected. You see, she cared so much about the emperor, yet she still managed to reimburse this huge sum of money through some underhanded means. Although her reward was substantial, she was still frugal in this regard.

However, she knew that if Jin Lang bought the final outfit himself, he definitely wouldn't be able to report the cost. In other words, Jin Lang had to pay for the entire custom-made final outfit out of his own pocket.

This is a huge sum of money. Especially for a trainer, and although the "Miracle" team is doing very well, given the team's current funds, even if they spent all the money they had accumulated over the years, they might not be able to afford the price of a single Emperor's current final set.

The Emperor of the East Sea's decisive outfit was undoubtedly made with the best design, resources, and materials by Rudolf. The outfit she presented to the Emperor alone was enough to earn some racehorse girls a lifetime's bounty.

That is why Lu Duo was surprised that Jin Lang had actually paid out of his own pocket to prepare the final outfit for the emperor as a gift. While surprised, she couldn't help but feel happy for the emperor, and she also smiled bitterly for unexpectedly stealing Jin Lang's thunder.

"Your Majesty... you really do have a trainer who cares about you."

"But I'm so conflicted. I don't want to let the trainer down, but that final outfit was also a gift from you, Guild Master." The East Sea Emperor clutched his head, looking extremely troubled, and said with a worried expression.

"President, what should I do?"

“Hmm? I don’t mind, Your Majesty.” Rudolf immediately made his choice and replied with a smile, “If you want, wear the final outfit that Mr. Jinlang gave you. I think Mr. Jinlang will be very happy with that.”

"You don't need to worry too much about me. I chose this final outfit for you, Your Majesty, just so you can be happy and have more confidence in yourself. I think Mr. Jinlang felt the same way."

"Sigh...but..."

However, the Emperor of the East Sea opened his mouth, clearly wanting to say something, but in the end he chose to remain silent and replied softly, "I understand."

"Good boy." Lu Duo gently patted the Emperor's head. In his heart, he couldn't help but sigh that he and Jin Lang were really thinking the same thing. The trainer's concern for the Emperor was no less than his own.

Just for this kindness, Lu Duo felt he should properly thank Jin Lang. At that moment, Lu Duo couldn't help but think carefully about how to express his gratitude for Jin Lang's efforts.

……

"Mr. Jinlang, do you have time tonight?"

"Hmm? Rudolf, I don't have anything planned for tonight."

While Jinlang was still in charge of training McQueen and Golden Ship, working hard to improve them for the two GI competitions in April, Rudol's sudden invitation made Jinlang turn around and answer, somewhat puzzled.

"The emperor told me about the decisive outfit you chose for her, and I feel it is necessary to express my gratitude for your contribution."

Although this was the first time Lu Duo had invited a man to an appointment, he didn't seem shy at all and generously said, "If it's convenient for you tonight, how about we spend the night together at the restaurant that the Lu Duo family invested in? It would be a small dinner to express my gratitude."

"Huh? Ah... The Golden Ship told you and the Emperor about that matter." Jin Lang immediately realized what was going on. The Golden Ship was the one who would do something like that. The Golden Ship might not care about anything else, but it was extremely serious about things concerning Jin Lang.

Since Jinlang had nothing planned for the evening, he thought about it carefully and then smiled and agreed, saying, "Alright, then I'll take advantage of the Emperor's favor and look forward to tonight."

"I will definitely not let you down." Lu Duo was full of confidence. She had already made perfect plans and was determined to give Jin Lang the most satisfying experience of the night with her utmost sincerity.

However, just as the two were talking, McQueen and Golden Ship, who had just run past them, caught their conversation. After they had run past, McQueen asked Golden Ship with a slightly uneasy expression:

"Just now...did I hear Rudolf inviting the trainers to dinner tonight?"

"W-Could it be a date?" McQueen himself found it hard to believe when he said this. How long had the trainer and Rudolf known each other? How could they have made such a big leap in their relationship all of a sudden?

Upon hearing this, the woman from the Golden Ship, who was the instigator, immediately understood what had happened and comforted her, saying:

"Hehe, it's alright, McQueen. The old man is just going out for dinner. We can just go about our business."

"...It's rare to see you so indifferent to trainers' affairs, Gold Ship."

McQueen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, seemingly surprised by Goldship's performance. After all, McQueen knew that Goldship always took anything related to Jinlang very seriously.

But since the Golden Ship had said so, McQueen felt a little more at ease. For some reason, McQueen felt that the Golden Ship wouldn't lie to her, which gave her a rather strange feeling.

Meanwhile, Golden Ship caught a fleeting change in McQueen's eyes. At that moment, her expression turned serious as well, because she realized that McQueen's change was very similar to her own.

Chapter 452: Rudolf and Jinlang's Date Process

That evening, Rudolf was already waiting at the designated place. She was dressed casually and wearing glasses. She didn't seem to have the same majesty as the "emperor" she used to have. Even her beauty was hidden. She looked like a tall racehorse girl.

Lu Duoxiang waited there for a while, and soon, Jin Lang appeared before her. Lu Duoxiang immediately greeted him with a respectful smile:

"Good evening, Mr. Jinlang. You look very formal today."

"After all, I'm going to have dinner with the famous 'Emperor' Rudolf, so I have to show him respect." Jin Lang looked at his clothes. These clothes were actually bought last Christmas. After Christmas, Golden Ship and McQueen dragged Jin Lang to the mall to buy a lot of new clothes. The old man, who was mentally seventy or eighty years old, finally wore some trendy clothes.

Fortunately, although Golden Ship and McQueen have different aesthetic tastes, they both dislike the kind of street-smart style of dressing, including ripped jeans and the like, so the outfits they put together for Jinlang are quite nice.

"Rudolph, on the other hand, you're dressed quite casually today." Jin Lang looked at Rudolph's current outfit. Unlike the meticulous and neat school uniform he wore at school, Rudolph looked like an ordinary urban woman. He wore a dark green long-sleeved shirt with the cuffs rolled up and a pair of white trousers. It was very simple and inconspicuous.

“I don’t want to be recognized, Mr. Jinlang. Although this restaurant is one of the properties that symbolize the ranch, it’s not entirely safe.”

Lu Duo smiled slightly and said, "Sometimes becoming a celebrity horse racer isn't all good. Like most idols, you won't have any personal privacy."

"Being a celebrity horse racer must be really tough." Jin Lang sighed with understanding upon hearing this: "Rudolph was able to manage Treson Academy so well back then, which was truly remarkable."

"Hehe, I'm so glad to hear those words from someone as composed and capable as Mr. Jinlang." Lu Duo also didn't hide her good mood and chuckled softly. As the former president, she still longed for everyone's recognition.

"Let's go in first. Although I've already made a reservation, this place is always very popular. If we go too late, we might have to wait a long time."

Lu Duo also entered the restaurant with Jin Lang, and not long after they entered, two small figures suddenly approached from behind them.

"This is it!" The East Blue Emperor, accompanied by Megumi McQueen, followed Rudolph and Imai to the restaurant. Compared to the sullen East Blue Emperor, McQueen's reaction was much calmer, and he said to the Emperor with a hint of resentment:

"Your Majesty... I've already said it, the trainer and senior Rudolf were just having a casual meal this time, it's not what you think. Even the Golden Ship said so, are you still not reassured?"

"Waaaaah—but I still care so much! McQueen! The president has never even dined with me at such a fancy restaurant before, why did it have to be the trainer for the first time~"

The East Sea Emperor knew that his behavior was too childish, like a child who had been abandoned by his parents and was unwilling to accept it, so he followed his parents to see what they were doing. However, the East Sea Emperor couldn't help but be curious about what the chairman and the trainer were going to talk about in private.

However, the Golden Ship was surprisingly uninterested this time, and he felt awkward asking anyone else. Therefore, the Emperor of the East Sea had no choice but to bring along McQueen, who was his closest friend and also part of the same crew, although McQueen was practically dragged along by her...

"McQueen, aren't you curious about what the trainers and the president are talking about? Even if they're actually on a date, it wouldn't matter, would it?"

"The trainer is actually quite reserved around women." McQueen smiled wryly, but since she had nothing else to do that evening, she figured she might as well keep the Emperor company and let him fool around, as long as her trainer didn't find out.

"Let's go in then. I've been to this restaurant before. You can dine without a reservation. Hopefully, we can find a good spot."

"Huh? McQueen, do you know this place well?" The Emperor followed curiously, only to see McQueen walk confidently to the front desk and say to the waiter:

"Hello, there are two of us. Could we please ask for a seat that is close to the two people who arrived earlier, but not easily seen by them?"

"Give us two of our best-selling set meals, please. Swipe your card."

When the East Sea Emperor saw McQueen casually take a black card out of his pocket, all her questions vanished, and she looked at McQueen with a subtle gaze.

This guy... he's actually even more excited than she is, isn't he?

……

"Come to think of it, this seems to be our first time meeting alone, Mr. Jinlang."

Lu Duo and Jin Lang took their seats, and the cold dishes, salads, and appetizers that had been reserved in advance were served one by one. Lu Duo even specially ordered a bottle of red wine of a good vintage, which suited their adult temperament, and arranged everything in a very proper manner.

"I had only heard about you from trainers Ikezoe and Wada. They both said that you were the backbone of the team and the team's undisputed strongest trainer."
