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

Someone who commands such respect from so many talented racehorse girls and two exceptionally skilled trainers must possess extraordinary abilities. Furthermore, given the current tensions between Inamami and Mejiro Ranch, Sirius has received word that Symbol Ranch is planning to send family members to contact Inamami.

This should be a good thing for Jinlang, because Symbol Ranch only wanted to win him over, and did not directly bring a daughter over for him to marry into the family like Old Lady Meguro did. Symbol Ranch still values ​​the legitimate heir, which is different from Old Lady Meguro's idea.

However, Sirius came this time to warn Jinlang and the Miracle Team not to get too involved with Symbol Ranch. She knew all too well that a large family was often not as glamorous as it seemed on the surface, especially since Symbol Ranch had quite a few lifetime-employed trainers.

Sirius herself is the best example. Her affair with Rudolph had nothing to do with their rivalry. It was more about the internal struggles within their families that led to their eventual estrangement.

Sirius dislikes, and even hates, being born into such a family. To her, Symbol Ranch is a den of iniquity; anyone who falls in is truly doomed and can never live as a pure racehorse girl or a pure trainer.

That's why she came here and found Jinlang. However, before getting down to business, she couldn't help but tease Rudolf's new trainer in a harmless way, just to make the "Emperor" a little angry.

"...Excuse me for speaking frankly, Miss Sirius, I have not had any contact with anyone from Symbol Ranch. If you are referring to yourself and Rudolph, then I can only say that our relationship is harmonious and there has been no overstepping of boundaries."

Jin Lang remained calm, suppressing his urge to criticize Sirius's improper posture, and said softly:

"Moreover, Rudolf did not intend to provoke you. On the contrary, it was you who deliberately created conflict for Rudolf."

"If there is any misunderstanding between sisters, I have always felt that the best way is to talk it out, rather than maintaining the status quo, which will only make things worse."

"Oh? You're lecturing me like a parent. You really don't respect me as your senior at all."

Sirius felt a little annoyed by Jinlang's tone, which sounded like that of an elder, but also found it somewhat amusing—a trainer who didn't take her seriously at all. She hadn't felt that tone before from Rudolph, and it sounded like Jinlang wasn't very polite to Rudolph either.

Although Sirius knew that Rudolph admired Jin Lang's abilities and that's why he was willing to work as Jin Lang's assistant, Sirius was different. Although she knew Jin Lang was talented, she hoped to see him helpless against her.

The feeling of someone whom even the emperor respects bowing and scraping before you—isn't that practically equivalent to winning against that emperor? Therefore, Sirius also intended to play a little joke on Jinlang.

So Sirius slowly got up and walked step by step toward Jinlang, approaching with a smile on his face.

Jin Lang instinctively retreated, but soon he was cornered by Sirius.

"Bang!" Sirius slammed her hand on the wall, a very forceful "wall slam"—she must have used this move on her female fans quite often, as she was very skilled at it.

"Listen, Rudolf's current trainer. Although I may not be a match for that emperor, I would still like to give you a piece of advice: don't assume that the emperor is your servant just because she treats you so politely."

Sirius gently lifted Jin Lang's chin, but failed to notice the slight change in Jin Lang's expression, and said, word by word:

"Even if she steps down from the throne, she is still the emperor. No matter how well she suppresses her true nature, she is still that arrogant and disdainful emperor. Don't think that just because you control her, you are her subject."

"Similarly—don't assume that your status is comparable to mine just because I'm being polite to you. I'm only speaking to you politely because of that emperor."

"Otherwise, you would have been my prey long ago, you little trainer~"

Sirius was very confident in her move. Her aura was no weaker than that of Rudolf. Most racehorse girls would have already given up and surrendered under her pressure. Not to mention humans, whose physical condition was not as good as that of racehorse girls, most of them would be dumbfounded by her.

However, Sirius, brimming with confidence, failed to notice that Jin Lang's expression had darkened slightly, half his face was almost black, and he looked as if he were about to explode in anger at any moment...

"I've really been looked down upon, haven't I? For a little girl to dare treat him like that is far too arrogant." At this moment, Jin Lang, whose mind was gradually being controlled by youthful thoughts, felt a long-lost sense of vitality.

Chapter 531: Sirius and Rudolf's Shared Fate

When Jin Lang was young, he had a bad temper. Of course, this was not innate, but a very normal phenomenon. In his time, Japanese men did not have such a low status as they do now, nor were they all henpecked. At that time, the status of Japanese men in the family could be said to be absolute.

Because the era of women earning money to support their families had not yet emerged, and men were still the main labor force in society, in that era of rampant male chauvinism, a man like Jin Lang, who had a good social status and many honors, was highly regarded and widely recognized and respected by the public.

Moreover, Ichinō himself was quite capable. He was a very authoritative and well-known rider in the central government at the time. As we all know, the more capable a person is, the bigger their temper tends to be. This is especially true in Japanese society. Because if a senior who is capable and prestigious is not allowed to be too good-tempered in Japanese society at that time, he is not allowed to be too good-tempered.

This is because it would make juniors think you are a weak and easily bullied "good senior" who can tell you all their work and troubles. To avoid such trouble, most seniors in Japanese society are very harsh on their juniors. This is also the reason why the relationship between seniors and juniors in Japanese society has become increasingly strained. Everyone is trying to protect their own interests from being harmed, but a society that is completely devoid of human touch will only become more distorted.

But at the time, no one thought that much about it. Now, as a senior and a capable one, Lang naturally has a very bad temper.

What's more, the person in front of him was a girl—although Sirius was indeed very beautiful, the young Jin Lang would not allow himself to be treated like this by a girl.

He's a man, and a senior at that. If he's pinned against a wall by a girl, where is his masculine dignity?

Therefore, after confirming this in his heart, Jin Lang could no longer tolerate Sirius's "provocation". Facing the majestic Sirius, Jin Lang not only showed no fear, but also slowly placed his hands on Sirius's shoulders...

"Slap!" Jin Lang slammed his hands together heavily. Sirius, who had never encountered such a situation before, instinctively flinched. The next moment, Jin Lang, still smiling, spoke each word with a dark expression:

"Miss Sirius—please sit up straight."

"...Huh?" Sirius seemed a little slow to react, but the next moment, he felt Jinlang's hands pressing on his shoulders tighten even more—it even gave Sirius the feeling that Ma Niang was pressing on his shoulders.

The next second, Sirius saw a very ugly yet familiar defeated expression on Jin Lang's face—just like the expression on his grandfather's face when he and Rudolph, as children, accidentally pulled the cherry tree and branches down when they were caught red-handed while trying to steal cherry blossoms from the family yard…

"—I said, please sit up straight, Miss Sirius!"

……

After some time, Rudolf and the Emperor of the East Sea walked slowly towards the team room. Along the way, the Emperor told Rudolf about her encounter with the three goddesses and the things she experienced with Jinlang.

"...So, you and your trainer met the last of the Three Goddesses, and the goddess even bestowed a 'blessing' upon you and your trainer, right?"

“That’s how it is!” Under Rudolf’s gaze, which was slightly incredulous but mostly envious, the East Sea Emperor nodded and said, “But Torena looks very strange. I wonder what the Goddess did to Torena.”

"Besides, I haven't felt any changes in my body so far. Although Goddess won't directly make my legs strong, she can't just leave me without helping, right?"

"...The goddess naturally has her reasons, and perhaps Your Majesty will find out later?"

For Rudolph, the East Sea Emperor's experience was something every horse girl would envy. While the talents of the horse girls at Treson Academy might receive some blessings from the Three Goddesses—for example, at certain times, some horse girls would unconsciously walk up to the statues of the Three Goddesses, and after gazing at them for a while, feel their bodies filled with power.

This is the blessing of the three goddesses, helping some racehorse girls break through their bottlenecks, or giving them a helping hand when they need strength. Racehorse girls who have had such experiences are already considered very lucky.

The Emperor, however, directly witnessed the image of one of the three goddesses. If it were any other racehorse girl, they would probably be so jealous that they would want to devour the Emperor alive. It was only because Rudolph cared so much about the Emperor that he was able to feel the intense "malice" of jealousy from the racehorse girls around him.

As for the emperor's wish and the "blessing" bestowed upon him by the three goddesses, Rudolf felt that it was not unfounded. The three goddesses must have given the emperor some ability that would be of great help to her, but they had not yet discovered it.

But now that we know the Three Goddesses' blessing is basically related to the Emperor's legs, it shouldn't be negative, so Rudolf can rest assured.

As they talked, the two women had already reached the team's door. However, just as Rudolph was about to take out his key to open the team's door, a series of sounds from inside made him stop in his tracks.

"Huh? President? What's wrong?"

"...No, it's just that I think I heard...someone inside seems very angry."

Rudolph was also slightly skeptical. She recognized the voice, but it was precisely because it was familiar that she found it unbelievable and couldn't believe that the person could be so angry.

"That voice...is that Mr. Jinlang? Why does it sound like he's...reprimanding someone inside?"

"Sigh...really?" The Empress was startled when she heard this. She could now hear Jin Lang's lecturing...no, it should be said that he was scolding her from inside the team room. If it weren't for the fact that the voices were so similar, she would have thought that her ears were not working properly.

Who could possibly provoke Tuolai Nasheng to such an extent? The East Sea Emperor felt that she had already angered Jinlang enough before, but Jinlang had always been very good to her and had never been angry with her—this was actually one of the reasons why the Emperor could freely express her views, because she knew that Tuolai Nasheng would never be angry.

But now... when the emperor heard Jin Lang's roar from inside the room, she began to feel that her judgment had been flawed...

Could it be that the one dragging Nara down is a person with a violent temper? At this moment, the Emperor and Rudolf looked at each other, neither of them knowing whether the answer was correct.

However, Rudolf ultimately suppressed his trembling and gently knocked on the team room door, then whispered:

"Mr. Jinlang—the Emperor and I have entered first."

"Click".

Rudolf entered slowly without waiting for Jin Lang's reply, and the Emperor immediately hid behind Rudolf, trembling with fear. When they were all inside the room, they noticed Jin Lang, who was looking over with a red-faced expression, and another familiar figure kneeling on the ground.

Sirius? What are you doing here?

"You've finally arrived... Your Majesty... Please save me."

However, Sirius, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over, unusually turned to Rudolf for help. She had been sitting there for half an hour and had been listening to Jin Lang's lecturing for half an hour, and she hadn't dared to talk back...

The shadows of her childhood filled her mind, leaving Sirius utterly powerless and only able to pin her hopes on her sisters, who could give her a way to survive.

"What happened?" Rudolf was also somewhat confused. However, at this moment, he only saw Jinlang, who had calmed down a bit when he saw Rudolf arrive, say:

“Rudolph, you’ve come at the right time. As a sister of Sirius, I’m currently lecturing your sister, and I think you should come and listen.”

"Ugh?"

What does this have to do with me! However, Rudolf looked at Sirius, who was sitting on the ground trembling, and knew that she had reached her limit. Sirius could only sit still for half an hour at the Symbol House before she couldn't take it anymore. She was a little better, but half an hour was still tiring!

"Well, I'd love to, but now..."

"Since you're willing, please come and sit down. This is also a topic for discussion."

"...Please at least give me a cushion."

However, after exchanging glances with Jin Lang and Rudolf, and under Sirius's indignant gaze of "What good are you?", and the apologetic look of the East Sea Emperor who was pretending to be invisible and afraid of getting caught up in it, Rudolf finally sat down obediently in front of Jin Lang with his horse ears drooping.

You all, feel the Emperor's disappointment... This is a special situation that even Rudolf dared not say no to.

Chapter 532: The Issue of Future Family Status

As the "Emperor," Rudolph was taught from a young age to be a ruler who uses both kindness and severity. She was raised from childhood as the rightful heir of the family, symbolizing the next head of the ranch, and enjoyed the best resources, the best education, and the highest enjoyment that the family could provide, all in order to cultivate her into an invincible "Horse King" who would be no less than any other racehorse girl.

As it turns out, the elite education methods of established families are quite different from the brainwashing-like happy education promoted outside. All elites understand that even geniuses need education, otherwise they are just mediocre people wasting their talents. No one can become a genius without rigorous learning. Talent is innate, but it can be developed through hard work.

In this environment, the "Emperor" Rudolf was forged, the essence of whom has now achieved nearly ten years of dominance as the "King of Horses" in Uma Musume. Although the title of "Strongest Uma Musume" has been broken by Good Opera, and may be broken again by Golden Master in the future, the title of "King of Horses" is completely different.

"Horse King" is the title of the queen of racehorse girls. A racehorse girl must have an absolute status on the ranch, be unafraid of the pressure and momentum of other racehorse girls wherever she goes, truly be able to hold her own, show no fear in crucial moments, and also have an outstanding track record to be called "Horse King".

Although Good Opera defeated Rudolf in the race, taking the title of "Japan's Strongest Racehorse Girl" from Rudolf's hands, Good Opera has not yet secured the title of "King of Horses"—her authority and the degree of pressure she exerts over other racehorse girls are not on the same level as Rudolf's. She is gentler and more persuasive with the racehorse girls. Although she can still show her strength when necessary, Good Opera is lacking in terms of intimidation.

In this respect, Rudolf felt that the Golden Master was also lacking. The Golden Master could intimidate those weaker than herself without any problem, but if she encountered someone stronger than herself, she would easily fall into a disadvantageous position and then completely collapse.

Therefore, while Rudolph may not be the strongest anymore, he is still the "King of Horses." He is the "Emperor," the pinnacle of Racer Girls!

However, this still cannot change the fact that she and another sister are now sitting on the ground, listening tremblingly to Jin Lang's reprimand, not daring to utter a single word of rebuttal.

"As a girl from a prominent family, you should be more well-behaved! And you shouldn't act like those hooligans, harassing anyone!"

"It's all thanks to me! What if you ran into those bad guys with ill intentions? Do you think you're immune to trouble just because you're racehorse girls? What if the three goddesses don't have time to react when danger arises? Do you really think the three goddesses have so much free time every day?!"

Jin Lang was not so angry at being treated like this by Sirius that she was angry at Sirius, who, as a girl from a prominent family, acted like a scoundrel. She wondered where he had learned that manner. In Jin Lang's time, such behavior of disregarding rules and boundaries with the opposite sex was generally referred to as "sexual harassment."

Sirius was completely unaware of this, and was even quite adept at it, which made Jin Lang wonder—just how many people had this kid used this trick on?

This is the strange reaction of the clash between youthful temper and old-fashioned mentality. Jin Lang still subconsciously regards himself as an elder, but his temper, which is gradually approaching that of his youth, makes him unable to answer as calmly as before. Instead, he chooses to reprimand and correct the young people's wrong thoughts and behaviors at the first opportunity.

Now, Sirius is the first one to run into this bad luck. As for Rudolf, as the eldest sister, she is like a mother to Sirius. Of course, she also bears some responsibility for Sirius becoming like this. Although many times she wanted to discipline him, she simply didn't have the opportunity or the right to do so.

Therefore, faced with Jin Lang's reprimand, even Rudolf had no choice but to obediently sit up straight. Sirius, who had been kneeling on the ground for half an hour and was trembling all over, also said to Rudolf beside him with a pale face:

"Your Majesty—you have truly been a great help. Knowing that I was bored kneeling here all by myself, you specially invited me to keep me company."

"I have to say, seeing you in this situation makes me feel much better. Seeing you get scolded makes me not mind sitting upright for another hour."

"...That's wonderful." Rudolf glanced at Sirius, whose face was now contorted with bulging veins and who was clearly at her limit. Sirius's expression was gloomy, but with a wicked smile. He knew very well that she couldn't hold on for much longer either. Anyone who had experienced kneeling on the hard floor without a cushion was a different story. It was already quite remarkable that Sirius had lasted that long.

However, Rudolph estimated that Sirius would be on the verge of collapsing in about ten minutes, so she could only hope that the trainer, who was currently furious, would consider their feelings a little. Otherwise, Sirius's childhood trauma might be awakened...

"That, that, that, is a burden to Na..."

Just as Rudolf was thinking this, the East Sea Emperor, who had been keeping himself invisible, cautiously raised his small hand and couldn't help but say, "Turena, although I don't know what happened, please don't be so angry with Sirius."
