"Also, Dream Journey, could you perhaps move a little further away from Trainer Ikezoe? You two are getting a bit too close."
Oriental Art also gave a gentle warning to Dream Journey. At this moment, Dream Journey belatedly realized that he was indeed a little too close to Chi Tian. They could even feel each other's breathing. Moreover, at some point, Dream Journey was grabbing Chi Tian's collar with one hand, looking as if he was about to beat him up at any moment. This was the main reason for Chi Tian's current fear.
Meng Zhilu didn't know why he had such a strange feeling towards Chi Tian when they first met. He clearly didn't like this guy at first, but why did he take the initiative to get so close to him?
However, Meng Lu, who had no idea what to do, did not immediately release Chi Tian's collar. Instead, she carefully looked at Chi Tian's face and narrowed her eyes slightly as she saw Chi Tian's seemingly calm but actually panicked expression.
This guy looks...why does he look so familiar? Have I seen him somewhere before?
For a moment, Dream Journey fell into deep thought, but the others could no longer pretend that nothing had happened. The gentle face of Oriental Art began to break down, and he smiled and signaled to Golden Journey, this useless family head, that it was time to start doing something, and also asked Zhongshan Celebration to go up and help.
On the other hand, Makoto also felt that the Dream Journey had gone a bit too far, and decided to let this racehorse girl, who hadn't even joined the team yet, feel the intimidation of a sprint racehorse girl. She revealed a dangerous smile.
But just as Zhenjiling, Golden Journey, and Zhongshan Festival were about to intervene, the dormitory door suddenly burst open with a bang! Accompanied by an extremely dangerous and powerful aura, the figure of the Golden Master finally appeared before everyone!
The first thing the Golden Master noticed was that Meng Zhilu was still holding onto Chi Tian's collar, looking like he didn't know whether he was going to fight or kiss her from that close distance.
"Dream! Sister!!!"
What are you doing to my man?!
The Golden Master's furious roar, accompanied by a powerful aura, instantly swept through the entire dormitory. Golden Journey immediately stood beside Zhongshan Celebration and Oriental Art, using his own aura to counteract the Golden Master's influence.
The next moment, Meng Zhilu only saw a golden gust of wind suddenly rush towards her. In just an instant, Meng Zhilu in front of Chi Tian was tackled to the ground by the Golden Master. The first meeting between these two sisters after a long time was to communicate their feelings by fighting.
"You bastard! What are you doing to your sister's boyfriend?! Are you Naritaji?!"
"Why did you suddenly bring up that little girl? And is this how you treat your sister?! Huh—you dare to bite me? You think you're all grown up now that you're married and don't respect your sister anymore?!"
"That's about enough!"
Finally, Golden Journey couldn't stand it anymore. He grabbed the girl riding on Dream Journey's back and started beating her up. The Golden Master, who seemed to want to die with his sister, then left Dream Journey.
However, the Golden Master's extreme reaction made Golden Journey realize that something was different. While they had previously observed the Golden Master's possessiveness, it was considered normal. But this time, her reaction was undeniably excessive; she even dared to attack Dream Journey.
It should be noted that in the past, no matter how much the Golden Master disagreed, he never dared to challenge Dream Journey. The difference in status between the two women was simply too great. The only outcome of the Golden Master provoking Dream Journey was being killed and beaten up. But now, she actually erupted, and without the slightest hesitation.
Little did Golden Journey know that the promise between Golden Master and Ikezoe and their impending separation meant that it would be strange if Golden Master didn't fly into a rage whenever he saw Dream Journey and his trainer so close together.
They hadn't even separated yet, and her older sister was already "eager" to get so close to her trainer. If she really did study in France, wouldn't Chi Tian be completely taken advantage of by her sister the very next day?
How could the Golden Master tolerate such a thing? So even though the Golden Journey had taken her away, she still glared at her sister with a snarling expression, as if she were looking at her father's killer.
"Stay away from Chi Tian! Aren't you supposed to be so aloof?! Don't try to steal my Chi Tian!"
"He's mine! He's mine! I'll never let anyone else have him! Absolutely!!"
Chapter 546: The Last Time Side by Side
Dream Journey was eventually dragged away by the Golden Journey and Oriental Art, and what awaited Dream Journey afterward was only a lecture from her older sister and her biological mother. Hopefully, Dream Journey's mouth will remain so tough when being beaten, lest the French horse racer hears it and reports that someone is being violently abused at the French Police Academy.
Inside the dormitory, the Gold Master sat alone on the floor, looking very depressed, leaving Ikezoe, Maki-rei, Tosho Henen, and Maruzensky, who had just arrived, somewhat at a loss.
The Golden Master's angry roar earlier had clearly revealed her true thoughts at this moment. All her pretense of strength had been exposed by her outburst of jealousy or anger, leaving nothing left to hide.
Now, Chi Tian clearly understood the reason for the Gold Master's emotional breakdown. Under everyone's gaze, Chi Tian approached step by step, sat cross-legged beside the Gold Master, and after a long while, finally spoke:
"Now, can you tell me the truth, Orpheus?"
Do you even want to win?
"……think."
However, the Gold Master's answer remained resolute. She nodded heavily, her eyes gleaming with unwavering fighting spirit, and stated with absolute certainty:
"I want to win! I want to win big! I want to show her that the blood flowing in my veins is no less than hers. I will make her watch me become the new strongest racehorse girl in Japan. I also have a feeling that as long as I defeat her, I can achieve a real breakthrough!"
"I want to beat Da Zhenhan, I really want to beat her, Ikezom, but..."
But... is this really the victory I've been seeking? The Golden Master didn't utter the last half of his sentence, yet at this moment, everyone understood the meaning behind his unfinished final words.
Golden Master is a racehorse girl trained by Ikezoe. She is his pride and the pride of their team. She has the strength to be crowned the next generation's "strongest racehorse girl in Japan". She is also recognized by a group of legendary racehorse girls such as Good Opera, and she is someone who can go further than them.
She has every opportunity to become a truly world-class racehorse girl, and she is fully capable of doing so now. As a racehorse girl, she has almost no obvious weaknesses, and her strength is enough for her to challenge any racehorse girl with a powerful attitude. She already possesses the level and qualities of a racehorse girl who can reach the top of the world.
Now, the only thing she needs to sever is her "bond" with Chi Tian. Chi Tian has already decided that he has nothing left to teach the Gold Master. He has stayed by the Gold Master's side mainly to put the Master at ease. He knows that his presence is the best stabilizer for the Master's performance.
If his role as a "stabilizer" is not eliminated, the Golden Master will always be just a little bit away from reaching the pinnacle of the world. Chi Tian wants her to go further, and the Golden Master also hopes to go further.
But now, the goldsmith has discovered that things are not so simple...
She wanted to etch this man into her heart even more than she imagined.
Let alone three years of separation, even a short separation of a few hours made her restless and eager. Just thinking about her future matches and victories, without that most important figure in her life, even the Golden Master's fighting spirit diminished, as if she had lost her reason for running...
“Ikezoe… what am I running for? I don’t know what I’m running for anymore.”
"Why do we have to separate...? Just because I can challenge for the title of the world's strongest Uma Musume, does that mean I have to break free from all constraints and go all out? Can't Uma Musume develop feelings for the constraints they're bound to?"
"Running without any constraints... it sounds so wonderful... but why am I so sad..."
"I don't understand, I don't understand, Ikezoe... I don't understand..."
Inside the dormitory, this "Golden Tyrant" shed her long-lost tears of vulnerability. This was only the second time she had cried since the time when the Golden Master, in his quest to break through his own limits, had run wildly through the rain but still failed.
Back then, she was very weak and was considered an ordinary racehorse girl; but now, she has become someone that countless genius racehorse girls look up to, and the title "Golden Tyrant" has become synonymous with her legendary life.
However, her vulnerable side was touched once again, causing her to shed tears once more.
In the past, I felt sorry for my own weakness, but now I resent my own weakness.
Faced with such a master of gold, Chi Tian simply stroked her orange-yellow hair and let her lean on his shoulder. At this moment, Chi Tian didn't want to say anything—he was afraid that if he spoke, he would easily burst into tears like the master of gold.
But he couldn't cry, he couldn't be weak. In order for Orpheus to reach heights she had never reached before, to step onto realms she had never been able to touch before, he had to let Orpheus try—this was not just Ikemoto's wishful thinking, but also Orpheus's own ideal now.
Meanwhile, Zhen Jiling and Dong Shang Biange also quietly approached. They silently embraced Chi Tian and the Golden Master. Infected by the atmosphere, they didn't say anything more at this moment, but silently enjoyed this tender moment that seemed to be the last minute.
Maru Zenki, watching this scene, silently wiped away her tears. She did not step forward because she knew she was not qualified.
But after witnessing this scene, Maru Zenki made up her mind that she would do everything in her power to protect the future of these children, at any cost.
Maru Zenki clenched her fists and silently left the dormitory. She had already decided what she should do next.
At the door, Maru Zenki dialed a number. After a busy signal, before the other end could speak, she immediately said:
"Hello, I'm Maruzensky—the trainer from the Great Shock on the other side of the training ground, right?"
"I heard you didn't come to Paris this time, which is a real shame. However, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you..."
……
The atmosphere in the dormitory lingered for an unknown amount of time; no one even noticed Maruzen's departure. After some time, the Gold Master, seemingly having wiped away his tears, asked Ikezoe:
"Ikezoe, in the future, is it really impossible for us to walk together?"
"...In this future, Orpheus, there may be a short period of time when I will not be able to continue walking with you."
"But I can guarantee that if you ever feel tired of flying and want to go home, you can come back anytime. Here, we will always have a place prepared for you."
Chi Tian gently stroked the Goldsmith's hair. These words were not only to comfort her, but also to comfort himself. He was trying his best to be the "cruel" one, but his words could not be associated with cruelty at all. Instead, they sounded like those of a father reluctant to let his child leave him, yet still trying to appear strong, as he spoke to the Goldsmith:
"So, run and pursue without any worries. Do what you want to do most. Don't worry about us. You know, we will always be there to support you."
"Let's fight side by side one more time, okay, Orpheus? Just one last time."
"The last time..."
As the Gold Master gazed at Chi Tian's outstretched hand, she couldn't help but recall the moment when she first joined Chi Tian's team.
At that time, Chi Tian also extended an invitation to her, which changed the course of her life.
After an unknown amount of time, the Golden Master extended his hand again and gently placed it on Chi Tian's hand. It seemed like a very gentle grip, but both of them were holding their hands tightly together with all their might, neither of them wanting to be separated from the other.
Chapter 547: The Chrysanthemum Appreciation Event is About to Begin
With Ikezoe and the Gold Master once again unifying their battle lines and objectives, the two, far away in Paris, France, also made up their minds once again to move forward in the same direction before their worries were conveyed to the people of Japan across the ocean in other ways.
Meanwhile in Japan, the daily training continues. The Emperor of the East Sea is restoring his functions every day, while the Golden Ship is also honing its [Domain]. Both of their strengths are increasing at an incredible rate. If Ikezoe and the Golden Master were here, they would be amazed by their rate of improvement, which is in no way inferior to their progress in the [Mind World].
Golden Ship and the East Sea Emperor's training are not the same. After all, Golden Ship does not need to restore her physical functions. The main focus is on training her mental strength. And now, the speed at which Golden Ship's mental strength is improving is like the speed at which volcanic mud is spreading from a volcanic eruption. Obviously, she is now truly serious and is wholeheartedly improving herself, which is rare for her.
The recovery of the East Sea Emperor is even more astonishing, or rather, the willpower she is now displaying is even more astonishing.
At first, the emperor's progress was visible to the naked eye. She started by walking one lap and gradually recovered to the point where she could walk two laps, and later she could jog. After the emperor made up her mind to recover, she stopped taking painkillers. Whether she was in class, eating or sleeping, she chose to endure the pain anytime and anywhere, and never took a painkiller injection or a painkiller pill again.
When the pain became unbearable during training, she would break off a twig and bite it hard in her mouth to keep standing up and trying. When the pain made her unable to eat, she would play videos that made her want to eat, forcing herself to swallow her food. When she couldn't sleep at night due to the pain, she would climb the stairs step by step until she was completely exhausted, then take a shower in a daze. When she got back and her head hit the pillow, she would fall into a deep sleep.
And so, she got through the most difficult months, and now the emperor was like a newborn, no longer troubled by these painful torments—but this did not mean that she had completely recovered to the point where she did not feel pain, but rather that she had gotten used to it.
The emperor had already endured the most painful and difficult period, so it's hard to say that the pain she experiences now is an impact—the biggest impact is that if she overexerts herself, she will still feel a dull ache, but these are minor compared to the fact that they don't affect her normal life now.
"So, how is the recovery going, Your Majesty?"
"Hehe! It still hurts a little, but it's completely fine now!"
In the days leading up to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition, Lu Duo, who had been neglecting the Emperor's training, inquired about the Emperor's condition again after a long absence. The Emperor's answer reassured her, and a long-lost smile appeared on the Emperor's face.
"Don't worry, President! The trainers' rehabilitation training is very effective! Look at me, I can actually lift my leg higher now!"
As if afraid that Lu Duo might not believe her, the East Sea Emperor deliberately raised her leg high to show off her imperial dance steps, but before she could use them, her head was hit by a roll of paper from behind.
"Snapped!"
"Ouch!" The emperor cried out in pain as the familiar pain returned. The emperor turned around silently, feeling wronged, and met Jin Lang's stern face.
"Are you an idiot? Using your Emperor's Dance at a time like this? Didn't I tell you that you can only use this running style once, and you need to be more careful when using it? Did you ignore what I said?"
"Waaah... I wasn't planning on using it, I just wanted to prove something to the president, you idiot, you're dragging me down!"
The Emperor, who had just been hit on the head, had clearly been subjected to a lot of harsh blows from Jin Lang over the past few months. Her training often resulted in some mistakes from the Emperor. At first, he would be hit when he slacked off, but now that he had recovered, he would be hit back to his original form every time he tried to show off. It has to be said that Jin Lang's training of the Emperor was now a combination of strictness and care.
Normally, Jinlang's training is so rigorous that it is a "privilege" that only the Emperor enjoys. In the past, Jinlang always believed that his focus was on ensuring the safety and health of the Emperor's legs and feet. However, now that Jinlang has regained some of his youthful temper, he is absolutely meticulous in his training.
Health must be taken into account, but this is not an excuse to be lenient with the daily training of racehorse girls. Therefore, today's Ima-Nami shows no mercy to the emperor of training and trains strictly according to the target.
But even after the training ended, Jin Lang didn't forget to take care of the Empress's daily life. While Lao Su was still around, Jin Lang asked Lao Su to come and give the Empress acupuncture treatment every week to help her recover. Jin Lang didn't know how he persuaded Lao Su, this eccentric old man who hated trouble. In the end, Lao Su would come and leave grumbling every time, but he was never careless when it came to acupuncture.
Even though the emperor was very resistant to acupuncture, especially when the needles in Old Su's hands were getting longer and longer, she was so scared that she almost ran away. But over time, she found that acupuncture was not as painful as she had imagined, and she became less afraid after a while.
Moreover, Rudolf also heard that Jin Lang himself was consulting with Lao Su about acupuncture methods, and that nowadays every meal of the emperor was a medicinal diet planned by Jin Lang for her.
This is why Rudolph, even knowing that Jinlang was subjecting the Emperor to such rigorous training, still let Jinlang do it—because she believed that she couldn't do it better or be more thorough than Jinlang, and if she were to take over now, she feared she wouldn't be able to control her affection for the Emperor, which would only harm the Emperor.
However, Rudolph was not idle. Occasionally, when Jinlang was not paying attention, he would slip the Empress a few bites of her favorite sweets or honey drinks.
