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

Although the conversation between the president and her burden had put the East Sea Emperor at ease, she belatedly realized that it was actually more dangerous.

She has no interest in high school students, but the student council president is a serious adult! What if her troublesome daughter falls for him?! She can't accept that!

Therefore, she must supervise the entire process this time to ensure that the two do not have any overly intimate contact. If any such situation occurs, she will immediately step in to stop it!

Meanwhile, Lu Duo and Jin Lang had already taken the elevator to a new floor. Surprisingly, the newly renovated bookstore was quite crowded, indicating that the advertising here had been very effective.

“Let’s split up and take a look. There seem to be a lot of good books here,” Lu Duo said to Jin Lang. The two of them then walked to opposite sides of the bookstore and began searching for books that interested them.

As Jin Lang wandered aimlessly through the bookstore, occasionally finding books unique to this world—mostly romance novels describing love stories between racehorse girls and trainers—a voice suddenly made him look up.

"Oh my, isn't this—Mr. Jinlang from Team Miracle?"

Jinlang subconsciously looked up and was met with a racehorse girl dressed in a cool tomboy outfit, with short dark hair, whose face shape was exactly the same as Lu Duo's symbol, and even her temperament was almost the same strong. Jinlang recognized her at a glance.

"You are... the symbol of Sirius? I remember last time you were..."

"It was at the Arima Memorial for the Opera King that I witnessed your team members defeat our high and mighty Emperor." Sirius Symbol also met Imanami quite by chance. Although she was more focused on Wada at the time, she was also very interested in Imanami, who was always known as the backbone of the Miracle Team.

"I've heard about your team's stellar performance lately, it's really impressive. And this year's Arima Festival was just as amazing. I remember, your team's Megumi McQueen beat that 'Tyrant' and the noblewoman from the entertainment venue, right?"

"And you're still the Emperor's trainer. To be honest, if I weren't almost never at Treson Academy these days, I might have considered taking a position on your team."

As he said this, a mischievous smile crept across Sirius's lips as he looked at Jin Lang and said:

"How is it, Trainer Jinlang? Although my performance isn't as good as that Emperor's, as a senior racehorse girl, I should be qualified to be your assistant, right?"

"I'm really looking forward to the moment when that emperor sees me and discovers that I'm her personal disciple, and that my future goal is to challenge her. How about we consider it?"

"This..." Jin Lang was speechless for a moment. He was quite helpless about Sirius's undisguised provocation of Rudo Symbol. He knew some of the inside story about Symbol Ranch and some of the stories between Sirius and Rudo Symbol, but he had no way to deal with the relationship between the two girls who had become racehorse girls in this world.

Before Jin Lang could even refuse, Lu Duo's symbolic voice came from behind again:

"Mr. Jinlang, I've found the latest collection of jokes, let's hurry—"

"..."

However, when the eyes of the symbols of Rudolf and Sirius met, everyone present felt an inexplicable increase in pressure. Even McQueen and Emperor, who had just arrived and were hiding in the shadows, felt the heavy atmosphere between the two veteran racehorses.

"Now, it's not even possible to go forward..."

Under the oppressive power symbolized by Sirius and Rudolf, even the Emperor of the East Sea and Megumi McQueen couldn't stop anything. These two were simply not on the same level as these new generation racehorse girls.

Chapter 455: The Symbolic Family's Secret

The silence between Rudolf and Sirius did not last long. However, when Rudolf saw Sirius, his expression, which was originally full of joy, calmed down slightly, while Sirius could no longer hide the wicked smile on his lips.

"Oh dear, it seems I really have no discernment. I never expected it to be the scene of Trainer Jinlang's date with our dear Emperor~"

"Should I leave quickly? Or—choose something more interesting?"

As she said this, Sirius grabbed Jinlang's sleeve, bringing him a little closer to her, but her gaze remained fixed on Luduo's symbol from beginning to end, hoping to see some different reaction on his face.

However, to Sirius's disappointment, aside from a slight furrowing of his brow, Rudol showed almost no expression, instead speaking in a very solemn and serious manner:

"Sirius, you can tell me what you're thinking. Please don't lay a hand on Trainer Jinlang. He's innocent."

"I recently joined the Miracle team and became an assistant to trainer Jinlang. I'm just here to get to know trainer Jinlang better."

"So now, can you release Trainer Jinlang?" Lu Duo's eyes remained fixed on Sirius's hand gripping Jinlang's collar the entire time, and he said in a more serious tone, "If someone sees this, it will affect the reputation of our Treson Academy's racehorse girls."

"Oh? Even though you're no longer the student council president, you still talk the same way you did back then." Sirius, upon hearing this, not only didn't let go of Jinlang, but instead provocatively said to Ruduo, "You want me to let go? The more you ask, the less I want to let go."

"Besides, when did you join Team Miracle? I didn't even know! How could our Emperor be subordinate to someone else?"

“But I haven’t forgotten myself as a racehorse girl, Sirius.” Rudolph’s symbolic eyes finally turned cold as he said calmly, “If anything happens, we can meet on the track.”

"……whispering sound."

However, Ludo's words finally made Sirius reluctantly release Jinlang's collar. Although she was not afraid of Ludo, that was all. In the Symbol Ranch, Ludo was still the unshakable boss. Even if Sirius was not convinced, the suppression he received as a racehorse girl still forced her to compromise.

Even so, Sirius clapped his hands and then said with great interest:

"It's been a long time... such a majestic symbol of Rudol. Now I feel that the 'Emperor' on the field has finally returned."

As he spoke, Sirius turned his gaze to Jinlang, narrowed his eyes slightly with a hint of cunning, and smiled, "We will meet again, Jinlang, trainer. Our Emperor is not such a good-tempered racehorse girl. If you can't stand her then, I welcome you to hire me anytime."

"Then goodbye for today, Your Majesty, and Trainer Jinlang. I hope you have a pleasant working relationship."

Sirius waved his hand and left the scene before the situation escalated to the point where staff had to arrive. Only after Sirius left did Lu Duo approach and say to Jin Lang with concern:

"Trainer Jinlang, are you alright? Oh, your collar is all wrinkled..."

"I'm fine." Jin Lang stopped Lu Duo from straightening his collar, and while adjusting himself, asked with a hint of distress:

"However... your relationship with Sirius is really not good. Back at Arima Memorial, I thought you two had already reconciled."

"Could it be that the internal disagreements within Symbol Ranch were not completely resolved back then?"

However, Jin Lang did not receive a response from Lu Duo's symbolism upon hearing this. Only now did Jin Lang realize that Lu Duo's symbolism was staring at him with a slightly shocked and incredulous look, and said:

"Trainer Jinlang, you...you even know about this? Do you know someone inside Symbol Ranch? But this is something the family has strictly forbidden us from revealing..."

"Just consider this as something I've heard secondhand." Jin Lang's expression turned serious upon hearing this. Clearly, just as he had thought, what happened between Rudo Symbol and Sirius in the previous world had also happened in this world. Moreover, this matter was not just a simple conflict between the original horse owner, rider, and trainer; it must have affected the Symbol family internally, even causing a split.

After all, in this world, the horse girls are also self-aware beings. They can distinguish right from wrong and are well aware that the team's conflicts revolve around the two of them. Perhaps, as things have escalated, some irreparable rifts have already formed.

"But I don't know the details, if you'd like to tell me..."

"...I'm sorry, Trainer Jinlang, the matter between me and Sirius is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words."

However, after opening his mouth, Lu Duo seemed to consider something and chose to keep it closed, swallowing all his bitterness and helplessness, and said softly:

"I can only say that it was my fault. I didn't stand up for Sirius when I should have. Instead, I chose to accept the family's arrangements."

"Excuse me, trainer Jinlang, I don't want to talk about this anymore. Can we go back now?"

"No problem, let's go back."

Seeing that Rudolf clearly didn't want to bring up the past, Lang stopped asking. It's wrong to reopen old wounds; only when the person in question reopens their wounds can it be considered an act of expression rather than harm. But if the person can bear it, it's better not to tear that layer apart.

Especially with a racehorse girl like Rudolphin, who is inherently very proud, if you forcibly tear open her wounds, what you might get in return is not a coquettish cry, but rather the rage that brings out her true nature. Jinlang is very clear that Rudolphin, who seems easygoing now, has always been a very tyrannical type of person in terms of her personality.

"Thank you so much for coming to keep me company, Trainer Jinlang. But it's getting late, you should go back and get some rest."

"Don't you need me to take you back to Treson?"

"No... I... I'd like to buy a few more joke books."

Because of Sirius, the date, which had been going fairly well, had to end abruptly. Meanwhile, Megumi McQueen and Emperor finally peeked out. Emperor patted his chest, saying nervously:

"That's scary... It's the first time I've seen the president so serious. My heart is about to jump out of my chest."

"Is this the majesty of an emperor? It seems that Rudolf-senpai wasn't really giving it her all at the Arima Memorial." McQueen was more focused on Rudol Symbol's strength. At the Arima Memorial, everyone thought that Rudol Symbol's duel with the Good Opera was her all-out effort, but now it seems that Rudol Symbol, who has taken off the heavy responsibility of student council president, has become even stronger than before.

“That’s right, so you were exposed to my [domain] from the very beginning.”

"Eeeeeeeee!! The, the president!"

When Rudolf's symbolic voice appeared silently behind the Emperor and McQueen, the two women were so startled that their ponytails stood on end. They instinctively turned around and met Rudolf's symbolic smiling face.

"So, are you satisfied with what you've heard following us?"

"Um, President...you're not angry, are you?" The Emperor, knowing their affair had been exposed, answered nervously.

McQueen, upon hearing this, suddenly realized that the questions he had asked earlier were actually meant to answer their questions and resolve their doubts...

As for the nervous emperor and the thoughtful McQueen, Rudolf's symbolic smile deepened, and he said:

"Your Majesty, McQueen, you have a good trainer. Trainer Jinlang is a very trustworthy person."

"You must listen carefully to his arrangements. He is a person of unknown origin, but he certainly knows a lot."

Knowing even the secrets of the symbolic ranch that are not made public, Rudol Symbol would not believe such "hearsay". In addition, the past incidents about the hidden dangers of the emperor made Rudol Symbol even more curious about Jinlang's identity.

But while curious, Rudolf also became increasingly convinced that only by keeping the emperor by Jinlang's side could the emperor's tragedy be truly changed.

Chapter 456: Megumi McQueen's Final Decision

"Mr. Jinlang is a young trainer with a mature and experienced demeanor that belies his appearance. To be honest, the talent he has shown so far has already impressed us all."

“He is different from trainers Wada and Ikezoe. Trainers Wada and Ikezoe have an almost natural connection with their assigned racehorse girls, which allows them to unleash a stronger belief and power, enabling them to achieve higher goals that surpass themselves.”

"But trainer Jinlang is different. He is a trainer who can truly enable every female racehorse to unleash their full potential beyond their original limits. It can be said that he is a truly flawless trainer whose overall strength surpasses that of most trainers."

"Moreover, he has an absolute moral bottom line, and can take care of every racehorse girl without favoritism. He only gives them guidance when they need his help, and leaves the choices to the racehorse girls, allowing them to grow into true individuals and independent individuals."

"He is a seasoned trainer whom I greatly admire. Emperor, McQueen, I hope you can cherish the opportunity to learn from him, just as I do. I also cherish the opportunity to learn from such a trainer."

Before leaving, Rudolph's earnest advice to the Emperor and McQueen still echoed in McQueen's mind when she returned to Tresson College. Along with it, the words Jin Lang had spoken while they were eavesdropping also resonated in McQueen's mind.

McQueen already knew that his trainers wouldn't accept high school students; in other words, only by becoming a true adult could one possibly stay by his trainer's side.

McQueen himself didn't know why he was thinking such things. Perhaps it was because his grandmother had whispered similar things in his ear too many times. She knew very well that if her trainer were to marry into another family, there was a high probability that the person would be McQueen.

Because McQueen was the first racehorse girl to join Jinlang's team, the two of them have a real emotional foundation. If they could really develop that kind of relationship one day, it wouldn't feel so abrupt. At least it would be much less ulterior than Grandmother forcing the Bright and Doberley teams on Jinlang, and it wouldn't make Jinlang feel resistant.

However, McQueen also knew that her trainers did not accept marriages without love, and McQueen herself did not accept this either. This was why she helped Jin Lang and opposed her grandmother's decision.

But now, she has finally begun to think about this issue, this choice concerning her future, and even the future of the Mejiro family.

Did she ever really like her trainer?

To this day, McQueen still doesn't know what "like" means. On her way back to Treson College, she kept thinking about all the little things that had happened between her and Jin Lang, from the moment they met until now.

From initially recognizing the opponent's talent, to the pressure of the classic year, the despair after the Hanshin Grand Prix but then being encouraged again, to the first victory in the Spring Emperor's Slam, and finally to now, finally breaking through oneself and achieving a three-GI winning streak at Arima Memorial.

Along the way, McQueen experienced hardships and frustrations, but also the exhilaration of running wholeheartedly and the pride of breaking through her own limits. Throughout this journey, her trainer truly accompanied her and helped her persevere.

Even though McQueen could see that the most significant thing for Jinlang was the Golden Ship, Jinlang never wasted McQueen's talent because of it.

Even though McQueen experienced setbacks and lows, Jinlang still encouraged her, and together with Golden Ship, encouraged her to get back on her feet and not give up.

Even with the addition of a more outstanding emperor, Jin Lang still did not relax his vigilance towards her in the slightest.

As a trainer, McQueen naturally agreed with Rudolf's view that his trainer was the best. McQueen had also expressed that Jinlang gave her a different feeling than others. She was also very clear that she was now increasingly trusting and relying on the trainer who had brought her success and breakthroughs.

So, is this feeling what liking someone is?

"..." McQueen stopped in silence, and when she looked up, she realized that she had unknowingly walked to the front of the team building.

There was a small light inside, and McQueen knew without looking that Jinlang must still be working late into the night on the team's tasks.

"...da da da".
