However, this news wasn't exactly something to be happy about for the Miracle team, because they all saw that neither Shock nor Gold Master used their full strength in this match; they were just testing each other.

Both sides are conserving their strength, which is not a good thing for the Golden Master, because it means that she still knows nothing about the information about the Great Shock, the so-called second [domain].

Now, without activating the [Domain], I can only win against this veteran racehorse girl who hasn't raced in who knows how many years. So, at the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix, will I be able to beat her?

……

"The Great Shock is catching up! The Great Shock is catching up! Just a little bit more! Can the Great Shock catch up? Can the Great Shock catch up?!"

"Cross the finish line! The champion is the Gold Master! The Foy Championship! The ultimate winner is the Gold Master from Japan! Also from Japan, Dae Shock, came in second place—a very good result!"

Meanwhile, in his dormitory at the École de la Teresa in Paris, Chi Tian repeatedly watched the Foy Championship, the only match that could serve as a reference between the Great Shock and the Gold Master, hoping to find a breakthrough to improve the Gold Master's winning rate.

Now, as he gets closer to the Arc de Triomphe each day, Chi Tian slowly gives up the idea of ​​exploring the second area of ​​the Great Shock. Instead of worrying about these things, he should think about how to win the Great Shock with his true strength.

Golden Master's racing style has always been based on the tactic of throwing bricks with great force. This tactic is very advantageous for Golden Master, whose strength has far surpassed that of other racehorses of the same generation. However, compared to racehorses of similar strength, this tactic is extremely taxing on Golden Master. As for Great Shock, she is a senior figure, and the strength of her accumulated [Domain] is probably beyond their imagination.

"Onii-chan, have a cup of tea and take a short break."

"Yes, thank you, Karen-chan."

Although he agreed, Chi Tian's gaze never left the computer screen. He watched the match repeatedly and meticulously, even wanting to watch it frame by frame to find the moment when the big shock occurred and whether his [domain] was activated.

Faced with Chi Tian's condition, Zhen Jiling didn't say much. She simply smiled and helped Chi Tian press down on his slightly stiff shoulders. She knew very well that what Chi Tian needed now was not pointless concern, but genuine support.

On the other side, Dong Shang Biange was also on the phone with her family. After all, this was her first time going abroad, and her family was quite nervous. However, Dong Shang Biange seemed to be in a good mood this time, and said to the person on the other end of the phone;

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine. By the way, I want to tell Grandmother that the potion recipes she taught me are very useful! After Master Craftswoman drank them, her complexion improved a lot. Thank you for your help."

"Oh, Dad, don't worry about me—you're so annoying, you're even more annoying than Qianyi."

"What? You don't even know who Qianyi is? You don't even know who your daughter's current trainer is? That's terrible!"

...Clearly, Dongshang Reform is also helping the Gold Master in his own way. However, if Dongshang Reform doesn't know that the "magic potion" his grandmother taught him is actually a formula for some traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, his illusions will probably be shattered.

Actually, staying in France like this... might not be so bad. This thought couldn't help but cross Zhenji's mind. Although the language barrier and the unfamiliar atmosphere of this foreign land initially made both Zhenji and Dongshang Biange feel very uncomfortable, now that they were more familiar with each other, Zhenji found that this kind of life didn't seem any different from usual.

However, Maki also knew very well that this idea was just in her mind. In any case, Ikezoe was definitely going back to Japan—there were still many more troublesome children there waiting for Ikezoe to save them.

Just then, a sudden commotion outside the door caught Maki's attention. It wasn't because the noise was loud, but because they were speaking Japanese, a language she was familiar with.

Is this the place?

"It should be correct, right?"

"The master lives here? Are they all huddled together? They seem quite close, huh?"

Soon, a knock sounded at the door, and Zhen Jiling stepped forward with a somewhat strange expression, whispering:

"Excuse me, is this... ugh."

"Oh, so this is where the Great Craftsman stayed during his expedition? It looks quite nice."

A racehorse girl, who wasn't particularly tall but exuded a dangerous aura, immediately entered the house. As soon as she entered, she gave off a sense of danger—if it weren't for the fact that Ikezoe recognized her face so well, he probably would have thought she was some kind of racehorse girl trying to cause trouble.

"A dream journey?! You—"

"It's us, we've come to France, Trainer Ikezoe."

At this moment, Golden Journey slowly walked into the house, dragging a suitcase. Behind Golden Journey, the two racehorse girls, Oriental Art and Zhongshan Celebration, also came in. Golden Journey began to speak:

"Don't misunderstand, we're just here to show our support. This is the moment when our Golden Family bloodline will be proven, and we hope to give the master the greatest encouragement and confidence."

Chapter 544: Come quick, Master! Dream Journey is going to steal Ikezoe!

“We’re just here to support the master, so there’s no need to overthink it. Trainer Ikezoe, we’ve already spoken with the people at the Trésin Academy in Paris, and they’ve agreed to let us stay. Our room is right next to yours.”

Golden Journey, carrying Oriental Art, Zhongshan Celebration, and Dream Journey, arrived in Paris. As she said, they came here to support the master. With their family members there, Golden Journey believes the master will perform well this time and won't overthink things.

Although Golden Journey didn't think that if the Master lost to the Great Shock, it meant that the two bloodlines, both specially cared for by the senior Sunday Serenity, had ultimately lost to the Great Shock—after all, no matter what, their Golden family finally had a racehorse girl who overcame all her inner conflicts and successfully became a racehorse girl who reached the pinnacle of the world.

Regardless of the outcome of the race between the Golden Master and the Great Shock, the Golden family has already proven its lineage, proving itself to be a true elite in Japan. Every racehorse girl in the Golden family possesses outstanding talent, and once they overcome their inner demons, they can soar like butterflies emerging from their cocoons!

Therefore, this time, Golden Journey brought almost all of the Golden Family's racehorse girls to the scene. Regardless of the outcome, as the head of the Golden Family, she must carry out the spirit and character of the Golden Family to the end. Their arrival represents an attitude and the Golden Family's high hopes for its children and every racehorse girl!

Therefore, the Golden Journey team arrived, and almost all of them were present except for the Golden Ship, which was attending the Chrysanthemum Viewing in October. The Golden Journey team had already informed the Golden Ship in advance, and the Golden Ship expressed its understanding.

"If I weren't participating in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition, I would love to go and cheer for Master Sister! -- Ahhh! Big Sister! Tell Master Sister! You must win! Use our Golden Family's iron hooves to kick Shetai's face away and brand it with our horseshoe marks!"

"I'll be cheering for Master Sister from across the ocean! Watch me use my golden will to gather power for her! Let's use our combined energy blast to send the Great Shock and the community platform soaring into the sky!"

"...What is this? Is it the plot of 'Seven Horses Pearl'?"

Although Golden Journey didn't quite understand the meaning of Golden Ship's words, and didn't even know why she would blurt out the name of a work she didn't recognize, the wonder of Golden Ship was something that even they, as fellow members of the Golden Family, couldn't fully fathom. Therefore, Golden Journey didn't delve into it; getting the gist of it was enough.

Now, the Golden Journey group has arrived in Paris and met with Ikezo. After looking around, the Golden Journey group finally asked:

"Where is the master? Where did he go?"

"Orphie is training with Mr. Maruzen at the training ground, familiarizing herself with the European venues." Ikezoe replied, his scalp tingling. The reason for his tingling was that Dream Journey, who was no longer drunk but sober, was constantly circling around him, seemingly admiring him, making Ikezoe very uneasy.

Because Chizon really understands Dream Journey's character, the way this guy is staring at him now isn't just because he's looking at his face, which isn't exactly handsome in the eyes of the horse racers, but because he's looking for some kind of ingredient...

"I feel like I've seen you before?" Sure enough, as Meng Zhilu looked at Chi Tian's face repeatedly, she muttered something rather strange. Her aura was dangerous and sensitive, and her tone was as icy as a mountain, making people shudder.

This is quite strange. Dream Journey holds the highest status in the Golden Family's ranch, second only to the two women, Golden Ship and Golden Journey. And her size is among the smallest in the Golden Family—even shorter than the Golden Master.

However, despite her short stature, Dream Journey's aura is in no way inferior to the other racehorse girls of the Golden Family. Even some of the racehorse girls with high status in other ranches are somewhat afraid of Dream Journey. Although Dream Journey is small, she is truly fearless in battle, just like the Golden Journey. She is enough to make some tall and strong horses run away with their heads in their hands.

But Chi Tian's fear of the Dream Journey wasn't because of that. Rather, the closer the Dream Journey got to him, the more he felt a sense of crisis, a crisis that was far more terrifying than that of Orpheus.

"You're that guy's boyfriend? You don't seem like anything special."

"Indeed, I'm just an ordinary trainer..."

Chi Tian continued to answer in the same way, while on the other side, he kept gesturing with his hand behind his back to Zhen Jiling and Dong Shang Bian, telling one of them to quickly go and find the Gold Master.

Otherwise, their trainers would be in mortal danger! Chi Tian was sweating profusely and gestured behind her back. Soon, Dong Shang Bianhe and Zhen Jiling understood and, after exchanging glances, the two women divided their tasks.

Only Zhen Jiling could keep things in order, while Dong Shang Biange was the one to go and find the Golden Master. Therefore, when Dong Shang Biange realized that her actions would affect Qian Yi's life, she carefully and solemnly left the room quietly.

"Wait for me, Qianyi! This witch will definitely save you! You must hold on until I come back!"

……

Meanwhile, at the training ground, Maruzenski was jogging with the Golden Master. Now, the Golden Master can keep up with Maruzenski's pace, which shows that she has adapted to the European competition arena.

While she can't compare to those born with the blood of European racehorses like Good Opera, Golden Maestro's adaptability certainly won't hold her back in the races.

"Phew..." Another lap finished, and Maru Zenki let out a long breath. She turned to look at the Gold Master, who, though slightly out of breath, remained perfectly composed, and smiled as she said:

"As expected of the Golden Tyrant, your stamina is truly rare among Uma Musume Girls, Golden Master~"

"In terms of physical strength alone, I'm afraid even Da Zhenhan wouldn't be a match for you. Her only advantage is her [domain]. Although we haven't figured that out yet, in terms of raw power, I have high hopes for you~"

"...The strength on paper and the actual strength are always two different things." Upon hearing this, the Golden Master glanced at Maru Zenki, took a sip of water, and said calmly, "I am still far from being a true world-class player."

"In this Foy Championship, neither Da Zhenhan nor I went all out. We were both conserving our energy, but in the end—I couldn't hold her back. If the distance had been even slightly longer, I wouldn't have won."

"Daehan's breakthrough ability has always been very strong." Maru Zenki nodded solemnly upon hearing this. As a senior racehorse girl, she was familiar with the racing styles of all the outstanding racehorse girls among the younger generation. Among them, she was also extremely familiar with Daehan's running style and knew very well that this seemingly petite racehorse girl possessed extremely sharp final sprints and breakthrough ability.

However, Maruzensky didn't believe this was the reason the Gold Master was being so cautious. After a slight silence, Maruzensky couldn't help but ask:

“Master Goldsmith, I have an idea, it may be wrong, but... I feel it’s necessary to ask you about it.”

"Did you... really give it your all? Why do I feel that in that Foy Championship match, your aura wasn't as sharp as it used to be? It's like... your desire to win wasn't as strong as before?"

"..."

However, Maruzensky's question was met with silence from the goldsmith. She neither refuted nor admitted anything, but simply fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Maru Zenski clearly understood something, but she didn't know how to tell the Golden Master—that a racehorse girl doesn't want to separate from the trainer who guided her growth and helped her reach the top of the world, is that something to be blamed for?

According to Yoshiki, the Golden Master has already done quite well to reach this point. She has grown into a racehorse girl who can grow independently. If a racehorse girl with a bigger temper and no growth were to come along, she would probably just protest silently and refuse to cooperate in this situation. This is probably what Rudolf Symbol would do, and Rudolf Symbol is already a very good example among racehorse girls.

The fact that Golden Master can suppress her feelings and still win shows that she has controlled her emotions very well. No other racehorse girl would dare to say that she could do better than Golden Master in this situation.

The Gold Master made a promise: if Chi Tian didn't follow, she would leave him behind and rush to the top of the world before returning. She has been working hard to fulfill her promise.

But now, as the day of parting draws ever closer, the Gold Master has become increasingly silent. She has realized that her resolve is not as firm as she thought.

While the Gold Master and Maruzensky remained silent, Dongshang Biange finally arrived from afar. Upon seeing Maruzensky and the Gold Master, he immediately shouted:

"Master Maruzen! Elder Sister Master! Something terrible has happened!"

"Dongshang? What happened?" Upon hearing this, the master immediately turned his head to look, only to see Dongshang's reforms come to an abrupt halt. Before he could even catch his breath, he immediately said:

"Master Sister! Something terrible has happened! Your whole family has come to Paris! They're all at our dorm now!"

"Your sister, Meng Zhilu, is super close to Qianyi right now! We have to hurry and save Qianyi!"

"She dares?!"

However, the concise and effective words of the Eastern Merchants' Reform immediately made the Golden Master overlook why her family had come to Paris, and she immediately grasped the crux of the matter. Hearing that Dream Journey and her trainer were so close, she, who possessed a portion of Benma's memories, instantly felt a sense of crisis!

Without saying a word, the Golden Master rushed towards the dormitory with full force. She had to get as far away from Sister Meng as possible before her scent tainted her pond!

Chapter 545: The Golden Sisters Fighting

"Oh, so you're Ikezo Kenichi. I seem to remember seeing you once when I was drunk. I wondered if I was just drunk and that's why you didn't seem like anything special. But you don't seem like anything special today."

"How come the master's sister likes you? She has no taste. I'm starting to doubt her sense of aesthetics now."

Dream Journey clearly shares the same opinion about Ikezoe's face as most of the horse girls who have seen her—she's not very good-looking. However, Ikezoe herself is already used to this, and it doesn't even seem to bother her much.

Even if he's not particularly good-looking, didn't Kallen and Orpheus become members of his team? And then there's Dong Shang's reformation. Although she's now stated that she won't become part of Ikezoe's harem, she still treats Ikezoe like an "older brother who is also a familiar." While she might torment Ikezoe during training, in everyday life, she's just a somewhat willful little sister.

Moreover, is Ikezoe really that bad-looking? — At least, Wada and Imai both felt that Ikezoe's appearance was not so bad that it was "outrageous to heaven and man." On the contrary, he actually had very distinctive features. In some ways, he was much more pleasing to the eye than the faces of some countries that were practically identical, which were "good-looking" at first glance but quickly became indistinguishable after a few minutes.

It's just that this characteristic isn't developed to a very high degree, but overall, Ikezoe's face isn't unpleasant. It's just that in the aesthetics of Uma Musume, it probably looks a bit strange.

"...Isn't that a bit too impolite, Sister Meng?" At this moment, Zhongshan Qingdian, who had been quietly eating his lollipop, couldn't help but speak up softly:

"He's your future brother-in-law, isn't he? You should give the master some face, otherwise she'll definitely come after you when she gets back."

“Yes, that’s really rude, Dream Journey.” Oriental Art said to Dream Journey with a smile. Her Yamato Nadeshiko demeanor was really deceptive. At least, the unsuspecting Shinki and Ikezoe didn’t know what Oriental Art was really like.

This seemingly gentle Yamato Nadeshiko, if she were truly as gentle on the outside as on the inside, it would be difficult for her to survive in a family like the Golden Family, where interpersonal relationships are very strange. Now, her position in the family is something she has fought for time and time again with her own "strength". Can a mares racer who makes the Golden Family, including the Golden Journey and all the racer girls, obedient be an ordinary existence?

She just wanted to make a good impression on Ikezoe, her future son-in-law, so that the son-in-law that the Golden Family had finally managed to snag wouldn't just fly away. Otherwise, Oriental Art might really get so angry that she'd grab Golden Journey and beat him up—who told her, the head of the family, to be so useless!

Therefore, this period of time is not only a good opportunity for them to accompany the master and stabilize his emotions, but also a good opportunity for Chi Tian, ​​the designated member of the Golden Family, to increase his sense of belonging to their family.

Therefore, Eastern art will not allow anyone to do anything that affects the unity of their family, and this applies even to Dream Journey.
