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

When both Jinlang and Ikezoe looked at him, Wada smiled and immediately said, "Do you remember when I went to Paris with Good Opera? At that time, Nase gave me a list, and one of the teachers on it, Su, provided a lot of help to me and Good Opera."

"I sprained my ankle once during a good opera rehearsal. Later, Teacher Su gave me a bottle of medicine that seemed to be a specialty of China, something like... safflower oil?"

"Anyway, it's a medicine that's very effective for treating sprains. Senior Jinlang, I still have that bottle in my dorm. How about I bring it to you so you can treat the Emperor's sprain? Maybe that way, you can take this opportunity to get closer to the Emperor again?"

Of course, the main reason Wada brought this up was because he knew that the treatment process required touching the feet, and this action was very helpful in closing the distance—at least that's what Wada thought.

He initially succeeded in getting closer to good opera through this method. For girls, the feet are a very special position. They are not particularly sensitive spots, but they have an effect that is no less than that of sensitive spots. Wada called it the best angle to get closer.

What? If that's the case, why send Jinlang? Isn't this position supposed to be very special for women?

"Isn't the emperor just a child? How could anything unexpected happen?" Wada thought to himself, completely oblivious to the slightest aversion.

Chapter 463: The Golden Ship Awaits the Emperor's Response

"Well, the spray is ready. Now, Your Majesty, you should rest well. I'll go buy you some honey drink now."

"Okay, come back soon, President~"

After spraying the wound with the spray he got from the doctor, Rudolf took out an ice pack full of ice from the freezer and applied it to the Empress's leg. Seeing that the Empress was very obedient, he breathed a sigh of relief and went to buy the Empress her favorite honey drink.

After watching Rudolf leave, the Empress couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She stared at her leg, which was now lying flat on the stool. It was just a minor sprain, yet it had caused such a commotion. Although the Empress enjoyed the attention she received, this feeling of excessive concern... made her feel uneasy.

She's not a child anymore; she's already on the racetrack, a real racehorse girl. But everyone still treats her like a child, giving her excessive care.

Shouldn't everyone be busy lately with Golden Ship, who's always in good spirits at Yayoi-sho? Why is everyone crowding around me? I only slightly sprained my ankle.

It was as if everyone thought her leg would break... The emperor himself was somewhat puzzled by this feeling, and could only suppress his doubts.

"Click".

"Huh? You're back so soon? Will you—oh, be a burden to me?"

Hearing the door open, the emperor assumed it was Lu Duo returning from buying honey drinks. However, as he turned his head, he saw Jin Lang slowly walking in. Upon seeing the emperor's state, Jin Lang brandished a bottle of mysterious Eastern product called "Safflower Oil," which he had obtained from Hetian, and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, stretch out your foot. This medicine will greatly improve your injuries."

Seemingly still not satisfied, Jinlang added, "This way you can go out and play with Rudolf sooner, although it will hurt a little."

However, for some reason, when the emperor uttered those words, he visibly shrank back slightly, becoming even more reluctant to extend his leg...

……

"What? So that's how it works. You should have told me sooner that you're dragging me down, or people will misunderstand."

After some time, and after Jin Lang explained the principle, the emperor finally felt relieved enough to stick his foot out, still looking somewhat shaken, and said:

"Thank goodness it was only a drag on Na. If any other trainer had said that to me, I would have kicked them!"

"Especially that trainer named Chongye, I heard he often touches Saima Girl's legs, and he's been kicked down by his teammates quite a few times, but he still doesn't change his ways. He's really a strange guy!"

"Don't I often use the excuse of touching bones to touch your legs, as well as McQueen's and the Golden Ship's legs?" Jin Lang dripped some safflower oil on the emperor's feet and also rubbed some on his palms, rubbing them continuously until his palms began to heat up before placing his palms on the East Sea emperor's feet.

"It's different for me now... I really believe in you—it hurts!"

However, when she felt the pain in her footsteps, the East Sea Emperor instinctively cried out in pain. She was afraid that no one would pay attention to her, and she was also afraid of the pain. The pain from rubbing her wound made her cry out even more.

"It hurts! It hurts so much, Turena! Could you—ahhh! Be a little—a little gentler?!"

"If you go too lightly, it won't be effective. Bear with it, Your Majesty. Didn't I say before that it would hurt a little?"

"But this hurts so much! Ahhhhh—slow down, slow down! It's too rough of you to drag me down like this!"

The excruciating pain from rubbing the injury caused the emperor to struggle, but amidst the struggle, a sliver of reason remained, and he managed to refrain from kicking Jin Lang in the face—otherwise, Jin Lang might lose a few teeth today, and he would understand why the instructions for using safflower oil in this world have a warning: "Please be careful when using on horse girls."

However, amidst the pain, the emperor, who felt a warmth rising from the rubbed area, also experienced a tingling sensation, almost like a slight itch. But this feeling didn't mean it was comfortable; on the contrary, it made the emperor feel very strange. He fidgeted restlessly, twisting his body as if ants were crawling on his feet.

"It feels... so strange..."

"Trainer, stop, stop for a second, I can't hold back anymore..."

"...Don't let anyone else hear this, or my reputation will be ruined by now."

Hearing the emperor say this now was even more effective than her previous crying and wailing. Jinlang immediately slowed down her movements, and the gentle touch felt even more strange to the emperor.

The emperor's face was also flushed red and he couldn't speak. He realized that his previous remarks were a bit strange, so he immediately covered his mouth and stopped talking. However, when Jin Lang's palm touched the painful spot, he would always squeeze out a few sounds through his teeth.

Why does the atmosphere feel even more eerie...? Jin Lang suddenly stopped making a move. At this moment, he even began to doubt what kind of medicinal ingredients were in the bottle of medicine in his hand.

In fact, all of this is thanks to the racehorse girl's amazing recovery ability. Generally speaking, even if a normal person applies safflower oil, this level of pain will take at least a day to subside. However, as a racehorse girl, the emperor is particularly effective in receiving this kind of medicine, and he quickly went from pain to a state of slow recovery.

Just as this atmosphere began to spread and both sides started to feel that something was wrong, finally, the door opened again, and a familiar voice immediately came through.

"Your Majesty! Lord Golden Ship, I've brought you a very effective medicine! It's a secret formula that the sisters of our Golden Family have used since childhood, and it's always been remarkably effective—"

"Huang, the Golden Boat Mulberry?!"

However, upon hearing the sound of the golden ship, the Emperor of the East Sea suddenly tensed up for some reason. Almost instinctively, he kicked forward and then quickly pulled his foot back.

"boom!"

"Ugh! You're okay, Naru! I'm so sorry! I was just too nervous!"

However, Jin Lang did not expect the golden ship to arrive so quickly. So, when the golden ship walked in with the unlabeled medicine bottle in its hand, it saw the East Sea Emperor nervously stand up, and lying on the ground was Jin Lang, who had been suddenly kicked in the face by the East Sea Emperor.

Suddenly, even the Golden Ship was unaware of what had happened. However, it was clear that Jin Lang had been kicked by the Emperor. Fortunately, when the Golden Ship smelled the unique medicinal scent in the air and the Emperor's slightly raised foot, she understood what had occurred.

"Hahahaha! Old man! You really care about the emperor! You were even faster than me with the gold ship! But I didn't expect to get kicked by the emperor."

However, seeing Jin Lang being kicked by the Emperor, the Golden Ship wasn't worried at all. Instead, it laughed heartily at Jin Lang, who was lying on the ground, covering his nose as he got up. Only then did it walk over and ask with a smile and concern:

"Alright, alright, is Grandpa alright? If his nose is broken again, shall we go to the hospital now?"

"No...it's nothing serious." Jin Lang covered his nose, then subconsciously looked at his palm. This time he was lucky; no more blood was seeping out, which meant that Jin Lang's nose was saved this time.

"Yes, I'm so sorry, Tuorena..." The emperor also approached with an apologetic expression, looking as if he was about to cry, and said, "Tuorena, you came to help me heal my wounds, but I kicked you and injured you instead..."

"It's alright. What I'm most concerned about right now is how well you two are doing."

Now, looking at the golden ship and the emperor in front of him, Lang sighed deeply. Both of them were good children, but neither of them made him feel at ease.

"If you can perform well in the upcoming competitions and return to your previous form, this little thing is nothing."

"I, I will definitely do my best! I'll be a burden to you!" Upon hearing this, the emperor immediately agreed, saying, "I will take good care of my injuries! When the Satsuki Prize comes, I will definitely win!"

"Hehe...that's not necessarily true." The Golden Ship nodded and looked at the Emperor, smiling as it said, "I just wasn't in the mood for the Yayoi Prize, but if I wanted to win, Your Majesty, you'd better watch out."

"Since Grandpa treats you so well, I hope you can try your best to outrun me!"

"Waaah—I'll definitely do my best!"

The emperor was very dissatisfied and shouted that she had made up her mind that during the Satsuki Rewards, she would definitely teach the Golden Ship a lesson and force her to use all her strength!

Golden Ship, however, didn't care about that at all. To her, if she wanted to win, the Emperor was no match for her. But what she cared about more now was something else entirely—how the Emperor should respond to the old man's expectations given his treatment of the Emperor.

The old man's concern was originally shared equally among her, the Emperor, and McQueen. However, McQueen now wanted to break this balance, and the Emperor was increasingly in need of more care, which made Golden Ship have some strange thoughts.

Can people who want more care really expect to receive the attention that these golden ships value so much without giving anything in return?

No, at least not on the Golden Ship. It's not that simple.

The Golden Ship now wants to know whether their performance is worthy of the old man's more attention.

Chapter 464: On Wada's Rapidly Declining Family Status

March is a busy time for Jinlang and for everyone in the Miracle Team, because during this period, each team has a female mascot to participate in the competition. The GI competition during this period can be considered a warm-up for April, but it is still not to be ignored.

First up is the Yayoi Prize, and the result is clear: Tokai Teio, as the team's rising star, successfully won his first GII match and is now heading aggressively toward the GI Satsuki Prize. After recovering from his minor ankle sprain, he immediately threw himself into training, attempting to surpass the fully-fledged Golden Ship as much as possible.

The Golden Ship also seemed to have recovered some of its form under the guidance of McQueen and Jinlang, and began to resume training. This relieved both Jinlang and McQueen, as it was a good sign that the Golden Ship would honestly participate in the Satsuki Sho.

And in March, McQueen was certainly not idle. In her conversation with the Golden Ship, she made her position clear. Of course, she would not express her thoughts to Jinlang now. Therefore, she expressed her goodwill in a more direct way - that is, to take care of Jinlang's daily life.

Jinlang's housekeeping skills are all-around excellent, but as a trainer, he is always busy. What McQueen can do is to help Jinlang with some tasks that are not very troublesome but are time-consuming, such as making tea.

Yes, although many people often forget, McQueen was indeed a young lady from a wealthy family. As a young lady from a wealthy family, McQueen's tea-making skills were impeccable, which was also the most important part of her ability to help Jinlang.

Good tea can refresh the mind and uplift one's mood, thus speeding up the process. This is a skill that only McQueen possesses, and no one can replace him, not even the Golden Ship.

Of course, there were other tasks as well: organizing clothes, cleaning rooms, calculating the team's finances, applying for subsidies and bonuses on behalf of the team, and even handling some outside conversations and interviews about the team.

"McQueen is acting like the lady of the team!" - This was a comment made by Megumi Ryan after a journalist interviewed the team, and McQueen, as both the person in charge and a member, took on the job, and the story was published in a magazine.

But as McQueen said, all of these things were done with the consent of Jinlang and everyone else. She has an irreplaceable position and ability in the team. For example, as the eldest daughter of the Meguro family, she has received training in these things since childhood, so she is very good at handling them.

She is using her expertise to help Jinlang and the rest of the team alleviate the pressure. In terms of her contribution to the team, McQueen's position in the team can indeed be considered that of the "captain" in Uma Musume.

Of course, McQueen wasn't just a "middleman" during this time; she was a racehorse girl, and she only participated in one race that March—the Hanshin Grand Prix.

That's right, it's the Hanshin Grand Prix that was dethroned last year because of her foul. Strictly speaking, McQueen's current bounty and popularity don't require him to participate in the Hanshin Grand Prix to get a spot in the Spring Emperor's Award. But for McQueen, this is a chance to redeem himself and prove himself.

Ultimately, the result was self-evident: a resounding victory.

As for the Hotan team, Good Opera is still recovering. Although Good Opera's injuries have healed, it still needs some time to recover and recuperate. After sitting in the office for so long, it will take some time to regain its previous rhythm. Good Opera is not like Golden Master. Although both are recovering, Golden Master can train normally, but Good Opera is really not able to.

Therefore, only Nyutao from Wada's team participated in the Osaka Cup again. This was because everyone in the "Miracle" team tacitly avoided the competition, and most of the other female racers also avoided the competition after hearing that Nyutao was participating. This time, Nyutao won the Osaka Cup for the second consecutive time without any suspense.

However, Nu Tao seemed somewhat dissatisfied and complained to He Tian for the first time, saying, "I feel that I can challenge a stronger opponent," which left He Tian speechless for a moment.

For some reason, ever since Nutao and Hetian broke through the final barrier in their relationship, the respect and caution Nutao once showed towards Hetian gradually disappeared, like a good opera, as if foreshadowing that Hetian's status within his team would only decline further in the future.

However, He Tian had no way to resolve this situation. He even remembered the time when he and Nu Tao had just broken through the final barrier in their relationship. Hao Geju's attitude towards him had taken a sharp turn for the worse. This jealous tyrant was extremely unhappy about sharing the feelings of the same person with someone else.

However, this anger could not be vented on Nutao, so only Hetian, the "instigator," had to bear the consequences. During that time, Hetian was truly trembling with fear, living even more subserviently than Ikezoe had in front of the Gold Master.

Fortunately, gradually, Good Opera seems to have discovered that this kind of life is not so bad, and slowly accepted the life of sharing a trainer with Raging Waves.

On the other hand, Ikezoe's situation is much better than Wada's. Perhaps this is a change of fortune. Ikezoe, who used to live like a grandson, has now completely reversed his team status. After the Golden Master frankly expressed his feelings to him that day, he rarely contradicted Ikezoe anymore. Perhaps it is because of the contrast with the past. Although Ikezoe is still called the "expert in saving the temperamental racehorse girl", he feels that his life is now completely free from the words "temperamental".

With the resolution of his inner conflict, the Gold Master's "arrogance" has changed from seven parts arrogance and three parts coquettishness to eight parts pride and two parts arrogance in front of Chi Tian. For the first time in his life, Chi Tian truly experienced what a "gentle Gold Master" was like, something he could never have dreamed of before.

As always, Makoto wholeheartedly supported him, and most importantly, the little witch, Tosho Reform, had somehow discovered the relationship between Ikezoe, the Gold Master, and Makoto.

However, to everyone's surprise, Dong Shang Biange, this little devil, who should have been a shy girl, reacted with unexpected indifference after learning about this matter.

"I knew your relationship wasn't quite right a long time ago... This outcome is exactly what I expected."

"Huh? Why aren't you angry? Why should I be angry? I can tell that both Sister Karen and Sister Master like you a lot, so if they like you, why did they break up?"

"Besides, I wouldn't date someone like you, so I'm not worried at all."

—That's what the Dongshang Reform told Ikezoe at the time. However, after receiving this result, both Makoto and the Golden Master were very happy. Of course, Ikezoe was also very happy because it meant that their team remained as intact as ever.

Their team did only one thing: Maki-rei participated in the Takamatsu-no-Miya Memorial once again. This time, Maki-rei, who had completely dominated domestic short-distance races, had no rivals in domestic short-distance races after undergoing the training in the "World of the Mind".
