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

She successfully secured two consecutive wins, setting a new record for Takamatsu-no-Miya, and achieved a domestic sprint GI monopoly! With this achievement, Ikezoe received some inside information from the chairman, who said that if she could achieve some results overseas, then Maki-rei might be the first, or even the only, to dominate sprint races and reach the Hall of Fame of racehorses.

Of course, Ikezoe also knew that this was not necessarily the case, since the "Dragon King" had not yet appeared, otherwise Makoto would definitely have encountered a formidable opponent—of course, by then, they should have already gone overseas.

March was another fulfilling yet ordinary month for Team Miracle, but as April drew closer, the atmosphere within the team gradually became tense again...

In April, the Satsuki Sho, the first stop of the classic triple crown, finally saw the real showdown between the two racehorse girls from the team!

Chapter 465: The Golden Ship, Intending to Go All Out, Choosing the Wrong Emperor?

"Welcome everyone to Nakayama Racecourse! The GI Satsuki Sho event! That's right! It's your old friend, Misato Akasaka, providing commentary for this race!"

"The Classic Triple Crown races have been more popular than ever before! And the reason is obvious! Because here, at our Zhongshan Racecourse, for two consecutive years, a racehorse girl who won the Satsuki Sho title has gone on to win all the Classic Triple Crown races and become a Triple Crown racehorse girl!"

"Although the Satsuki Sho, as the first leg of the Classic Triple Crown, has always been positioned as 'a race where only the fastest horse girl can win,' winning the Satsuki Sho, as the first leg of the Classic Triple Crown, is a very strong encouragement for horse girls themselves!"

"And who will win the Satsuki Sho title this time? Who will be the next Triple Crown racehorse girl to challenge for the honor?!"

It must be said that Misato Akasaka is always capable of commentating on these GI events, serving as a dedicated live commentator, and she also possesses considerable language skills. As the first stop of the classic Triple Crown, the Satsuki Sho, while part of the classic Triple Crown, occupies a rather awkward position.

In the eyes of the Japanese public, the Satsuki Sho is not as prestigious as the Japanese Derby, and the overall strength of Saima Musume is not as good as the Kikuka Sho. However, Misato Akasaka, in just a few words, combined the victories in the Satsuki Sho in the previous two years, and finally won the Triple Crown Saima Musume title with Good Opera and Golden Master, and suddenly raised the level of the Satsuki Sho.

Although Good Opera and Golden Masters didn't become Triple Crown Horse Girls because they won the Satsuki Prize, that doesn't stop Misato Akasaka from adding some prestige to the Satsuki Prize and raising everyone's expectations.

After all, the main event this time is that genius emperor! If she can really win the Satsuki Sho title with her current record, then the undefeated triple crown racehorse girl title may really come to her.

This is one of the scenes that the audience most wanted to see this time: an undefeated triple crown! After Rudolf's symbolism and the great shock, no other horse girl has been able to achieve such an honor. Even the "King of the End of the Century" who ushered in a new era, or the "Golden Tyrant" who was already being called the strongest in the century, has not yet achieved the honor of an undefeated triple crown.

While Donghai Diwang didn't win GI like Golden Ship, she still fought her way through, winning two OP matches, one GIII match, and one GII match. As for whether she has the strength to be undefeated for three championships, most viewers believe that Donghai Diwang definitely has that ability.

Golden Ship was clearly out of options. Her Waterloo at the Yayoi Prize shocked the audience, but her past strength and achievements were undeniable. Even now, when she participated in the Satsuki Prize, most viewers still chose to support Golden Ship, making her the undisputed number one in popularity this time.

The second most popular character, the Emperor of the East Sea, has a confidence in challenging the Golden Ship that is unlike any opponent he has faced before.

"What should I do..."

In the lounge, the East Sea Emperor looked at the two boxes in front of her with a troubled expression—each box contained a set of decisive outfits, the two sets that Lu Duo and Jin Lang had given her respectively.

As of now, the East Sea Emperor still hasn't decided which final outfit she should wear to the competition. She has already tested both outfits and likes them both very much, and the boosts they provide to her are completely different.

The "Emperor's Dance Steps" that the president gave her can make her acceleration smoother, achieve better explosive effects with less effort, and make her body feel much more relaxed while reducing the pressure on her legs. It can be said that it is indeed tailor-made for the advantages of an emperor.

The "Phoenix" outfit given to her by her trainer can enhance her endurance, stabilize her average speed, and, according to testing, this decisive outfit seems to have a certain degree of resistance to [Aura], reducing its impact on her.

Both of these final battle outfits are quite expensive. Any final battle outfit with an amplification effect is something that contestants can only dream of, let alone one that is tailor-made for them. If someone saw the East Sea Emperor in this situation, having two final battle outfits to choose from, they would probably be so envious they'd split apart.

However, the East Sea Emperor would rather not have such good fortune. The current situation is really troubling her. Whichever option she chooses, the other side will inevitably be disappointed. But the Emperor doesn't want to disappoint either the guild master or the trainer.

But she couldn't possibly wear two different outfits on stage at the same time, so she was at a loss and anxiously spun around in circles. Not only that, but the words Rudolf had symbolically spoken to her kept echoing in her mind—

"If you want, wear the winning 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."

—Even though the president encouraged her to wear the final outfit the trainer gave her, wouldn't he still be disappointed if she did? But if she didn't…

Just as the Emperor of the East Sea was still struggling with this thought, a broadcast suddenly came over the loudspeaker:

"Next up is our second most popular contestant, the Emperor of the East Sea! Emperor of the East Sea, please get ready as soon as possible..."

"Aaaaaah!! Never mind!"

Finally, in a moment of desperation, the Emperor of the East Sea randomly chose one, grabbed a decisive outfit, put it on, and hurriedly headed to the public stage.

……

"Senior Jinlang, are you nervous?"

"It's not that I'm nervous, but that I'm nervous about the Emperor participating in such a competition." Jin Lang frankly admitted his slight emotional instability at the moment. Beside him, the Miracle Team was present as always for the Classic Triple Crown event, just to witness this competition and give their teammates the best support and assistance.

Even though it was two members of their team stepping onto the field this time, they still cheered for each of them wholeheartedly. In this match, it was expected that no matter who won, it would be a matter of course.

"This is the first time the Emperor has stepped onto the GI stage, and this time, Golden Ship will not hold back. For me, the only variable in the outcome of this match may be Golden Ship's performance."

"You could even say that Goldship's performance this time will determine the outcome of the game, but the problem is... even I don't know what Goldship will do this time."

All I know is... this time, she will run seriously, that's all.

Yes, even Jinlang can only be certain of this much regarding the outcome of the match. Unlike the Yayoi Sho, the Golden Ship will undoubtedly perform as usual this time, but no one knows exactly how well it will perform.

Upon hearing Jin Lang's words, Ikezoe and Wada, as well as McQueen and Rudolf, all fell silent for a moment. Finally, with a broadcast, everyone's attention was once again drawn to the public stage.

"Next up is our second most popular player—the Tokai Emperor, who still reigns undefeated at the Satsuki Prize and is aiming for the Undefeated Triple Crown of Horse Girls!"

"Splash!"

As the words fell, the small figure of the East Sea Emperor finally appeared before everyone. When she appeared in her blue and white "Emperor's Dance" victory outfit, a hint of surprise appeared in Lu Duo's eyes.

This even made Lu Duo subconsciously look at Jin Lang beside him. However, Jin Lang didn't seem to be surprised by the result, as if he had already expected this situation.

However, the most popular Golden Ship, standing to the side, had a completely different thought when she saw the Emperor walk past her in this decisive outfit.

"It seems you've chosen a different option, Emperor."

"Then let me see your all-out effort."

A glint of light flashed in Golden Ship's eyes, and at this moment, her two eyes of different colors proved just how much of her strength she intended to unleash in this match.

Chapter 466: The Unalterable Golden Ship

"The second most popular player, the East Sea Emperor! This time, she's wearing a magnificent and fitting final outfit! Her expression is full of fighting spirit! With strength that rivals the most popular player, she's aiming for an undefeated triple crown!"

"Emperor! Emperor! Emperor!" XN

As Misato Akasaka introduced her, the supporters, who had already witnessed the Empress's strength, roared throughout the Nakayama Racecourse, proving that the Tokai Empress truly had the popularity and strength to rival the Golden Ship, and that she had a real chance of winning the race, just as everyone was looking forward to it.

If it were the former Emperor of the East Sea, he might have confidently declared that he would definitely win, and might even have been dissatisfied with being only second in popularity. But this time, the Emperor of the East Sea, dressed in his victory attire, looked serious and solemn, with an expression that clearly showed he was ready for battle.

"The emperor's expression... is really serious."

"It seems the emperor has grown a lot over the years. A serious genius, truly enviable."

In the audience, the excellent quality who had once clashed with McQueen and Golden Master at Arima Kinen was watching the majestic figure of Tokai Emperor on the stage. She had long admired Tokai Emperor's confidence and talent, because these were qualities that she, a "mediocre" "runner-up" racehorse girl, did not possess.

In fact, the two women should have had a showdown long ago, but due to Lu Duo's special arrangement, the East Sea Emperor's debut was delayed by more than a year. This meant that the outstanding woman who debuted early was unable to compete with the East Sea Emperor last year, and has now become the Emperor's senior, having participated in the GI competition earlier than her.

However, the situation is terrible. Her opponents in the past few episodes have been too strong. They are either Megumi McQueen or The Golden Master. She may also face Good Opera in the second half of the year. So far, she has not won a single GI match.

Sometimes she's not even third; she's almost gone from being the "best third person" to the "best fourth person."

"The thought of having to compete with Mejiro McQueen for the Spring Emperor's Prize... and possibly even facing the Emperor in the future... the pressure is immense..."

"Nichi, you have to have confidence in yourself!" Beside the excellent quality, the blue-haired twin-tailed Twin Turbine was full of confidence. She had also attended the Arima Commemoration with the excellent quality, and Twin Turbine, who was invited to participate as a "comedian", did not seem to be afraid of the Tokai Emperor.

"If we ever have the chance to meet the Empress in the future, then we must defeat her! Even if she becomes the Undefeated Triple Crown Girl!"

"I don't have that kind of confidence..." You Yushen shook her head with a wry smile. In those few competitions, she had come to a deep understanding of the gap between herself and geniuses. That kind of progress was something she could never achieve.

She dared to say that even if the Goldsmith and McQueen were brought out to run again now, they would only be stronger than they were during Arima's time. These geniuses are such unreasonable beings that if you don't see them for a day, they will change drastically the next day.

However, the one with excellent qualities kept staring at the emperor's serious expression and couldn't help but mutter to himself, feeling a little strange:

"Why are you suddenly so insecure, Your Majesty? For a genius like you... what is there to worry about?"

"Next up! Our number one favorite! Despite losing in the Yayoi Prize, we're still going to compete for the Satsuki Prize with the highest popularity! 'The Unsinkable Golden Ship'! The star racehorse girl from Treson Academy! Golden Ship!"

As Misato Akasaka finished speaking, Golden Ship, dressed in a crimson final outfit with white trousers, and wearing her signature hat and earmuffs, appeared on the public stage. However, this time, when Golden Ship stepped onto the stage, everyone felt that her aura was different from before.

Therefore, when the golden ship appeared this time, its face was completely expressionless.

This kind of situation would be quite common for other racehorse girls, but when it happened to Golden Ship this time, it shocked those who knew her style, to the point that their jaws almost dropped.

"Isn't it?!"

"A gold ship—that's a gold ship?!"

"This guy can actually make that kind of expression?"

"This is bad, this is bad. I always thought this guy got here by luck, but now it seems he's actually pretty strong."

It has to be said that the stern-faced Golden Ship exudes a natural aura of strength. The earmuffs and hat that everyone always complains about sealing off her beauty now seem more like accessories that enhance her imposing presence. Her face, which was originally obscured by Golden Ship's terrible personality, now gives her an icy beauty vibe, adding a unique charm.

However, at this moment, the other racehorse girls, including the East Sea Emperor, who were competitors in the same race, had no time to appreciate the beauty of the Golden Ship, because they could all see that this time, the Golden Ship was serious!

Especially the East Sea Emperor, she didn't know why the Golden Ship had suddenly changed so much. Originally, they had planned to have a happy and serious competition with the Golden Master, but now, the Golden Ship was no longer treating her as a partner, but as a real opponent.

Why is that? What did she do wrong? Is it just because she didn't wear the final outfit her trainer gave her, and that made Golden Ship angry?!

The Empress thought about it carefully and seemed to think that this made sense, because she also knew that Golden Ship didn't care about anything else, but was very serious about things related to trainers. Could it be that because she chose the final outfit given to her by the president, Golden Ship felt that the trainer's feelings were not valued by her?

This is so unfair! She really had no choice at that time! If she could, she really wanted to wear both of the winning outfits!

However, the emperor had no idea that what had happened between the Golden Ship and McQueen had already greatly upset the Golden Ship, and this incident was merely a trigger point, a coincidence that caused the Golden Ship's mood to plummet.

Even if the Golden Ship finds this trigger point very strange after regaining its senses, it has no time to think about such things now that it is truly in a state of "absolute indifference".

As a racehorse girl from the Golden Family, how could Golden Ship really be good-tempered? It's just that there are very few people who have really angered Golden Ship. Just like everyone's previous evaluation of her, she seems to not care about anything.

But never provoke the racehorse girls of the Golden Family to get really angry, or the consequences will be severe. In particular, most of the racehorse girls of the Golden Family can easily lose their calm judgment when they get really angry.

Therefore, this time, when the emperor and the golden ship met eyes, the golden ship did not encourage the emperor as usual, but instead said calmly:

"Oh, Your Majesty, let's settle this once and for all."

"Be careful, I won't hold back. If you want to prove you're a good and independent racehorse girl, I'll be the judge of your performance this time."

"The Golden Ship..." The emperor, seeing the current state of the Golden Ship, had some reservations, but ultimately, she nodded and solemnly replied:

"Bring it on! I will never lose! I will prove to everyone that I have grown into a true racehorse girl!"

Now that the die is cast and there is no turning back, the East Sea Emperor has no choice but to accept the challenge of the Golden Ship. First and foremost, she cannot afford to lose in terms of momentum. She came here with the intention of competing with the Golden Ship, which was going all out!

Although the current situation is not what the emperor wants to see, since she is going all out, she should respond to the golden ship with the same attitude.

The two women's eyes met in mid-air until the broadcast slowly began.

"All race girls, please proceed to the racetrack now! GI Satsuki Sho, the race is about to begin."

Chapter 467: Is the Emperor About to Get a Beating?

"The Golden Ship's condition today... is strange. She seems to be in a very bad mood?"

At that very moment, as the racehorse girls began to walk towards the gate, Megumi McQueen in the stands had also noticed the changes in the Golden Ship—her [Domain] was inherently very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment, so she quickly noticed the subtle changes on the Golden Ship.
