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

This is like finding a needle in a haystack... Wouldn't it be better to start with something you're more familiar with? Asking McQueen to recommend Mejiro Ardan wouldn't be bad either...

Just as Jin Lang was thinking this, a child's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts. Right in front of him, two young horse girls let out a scream and quickly approached.

"Xiao Bei! Look, isn't that McQueen?"

"Really! It's the Emperor and McQueen! And the Golden Ship!"

"Is that person standing in the middle their trainer?!"

Two young horse girls with different hair colors quickly approached. One of them, with long black hair, said nervously and excitedly:

"Yes, I'm sorry! But are you Jinlang's trainer from Team Miracle?!"

“It’s me, no doubt.” From the conversation between the two young horse girls, Jinlang quickly realized that they were fans of the three of them who were racehorse girls, and said softly, “The ones next to me are the Emperor of the East Sea, Mejiro McQueen, and Golden Ship!”

"It really is Miss McQueen!"

Beside the black-haired horse girl, a beautifully sculpted horse girl with flaxen hair said with an admiring look, "Miss McQueen! I'm your fan! Your brilliant running style at the Spring Emperor's Slam is my favorite race!"

"Ah, um... thank you." McQueen was also surprised that he had such a small fan of his, and nodded.

"Me! I'm a fan of Lady Empress!" Another black-haired horse girl excitedly looked at Lady Empress and said, "Lady Empress's dashing figure on the Chrysanthemum Festival! I want to become a racehorse girl like Lady Empress!"

"Hehe, you're aiming for me, huh? Then you'd better work hard!" the East Sea Emperor chuckled smugly. Beside him, the Golden Ship, hearing this, asked curiously:

"What about me?! Do you guys like the Golden Ship too?"

"Ah... well... Miss Golden Ship is also very nice... but I prefer Miss McQueen."

"Haha... But, but my idol is the Empress, Golden Ship-san, it really does seem like her..."

However, the moment the golden ship appeared, the two horse girls were immediately embarrassed. Faced with this question, they, who were not good at lying, were at a loss for words. Fortunately, at this moment, Jinlang stepped forward and said:

"Alright, Golden Ship, stop fooling around—and by the way, what are your names, you two children?"

"My name is Northern Black Steed!" the little black-haired pony exclaimed excitedly.

“My name is Satomi Hikari, nice to meet you,” the flaxen-haired horse girl replied gently.

Chapter 584: The fans of the Golden Ship are all entertainers

Jin Lang felt that he was probably blessed by the three goddesses. This kind of experience was no less than that in some wish-fulfillment novels, where the protagonist randomly buys some rare treasure-level item from a stall in a remote town.

He and three other racehorse girls were just looking for promising racehorse girls at the huge tourist festival at Treson Academy when he unexpectedly encountered two legendary racehorse girls.

Although Inamami never had the chance to be their stable boy, he was still very familiar with their stories and achievements.

Kita Genko, in particular, is a legendary racehorse. After reigning for ten years as the world's number one in the Best Opera World Prize rankings (this ranking is somewhat controversial, as Japanese race prizes are inherently higher, and the bubble economy and exchange factors have created some inflated figures, but it is still nominally the world's number one in prize rankings), Kita Genko broke through that boundary and set a new record for the highest prize. The next horse to break Kita Genko's prize record was the nine-time champion, Apricot.

The life of the Northern Black Horse was full of hardships. In the classic year, he encountered an opponent he could never surpass, "Da Ming Da Fang". The tragedy of Da Ming Da Fang was the same as that of the Emperor of the East Sea: he was tormented by illness throughout his life and collapsed before the Chrysanthemum Appreciation.

Unfortunately, while Da Ming Da Fang may have had injuries like the Dong Hai Di Wang, he did not have the miraculous revival of the Dong Hai Di Wang. After the Takarazuka Memorial the following year, he retired from the race forever, and Bei Chu Gen Kou also completely lost the opportunity to surpass his strongest opponent.

According to Jinlang, Kita Genko's experience in the classic year was somewhat similar to Naritaji's, but her subsequent experiences were as invincible as Good Opera. Therefore, when Kita Genko said that her idol was actually the Emperor of the East Sea instead of Good Opera, Jinlang's expression was somewhat strange.

Logically speaking... if she were to make a big show of it here, perhaps her idol would be the Emperor of the East Sea?

As for Kozumi Satomi, her performance may not be as dazzling as Genko Kita, and her story may not be as legendary, but she has a very impressive achievement—she defeated Genko Kita at the Arima Kinen.

Yes, this is the most legendary story in Satomi Kozan's life: the winner of the Chrysanthemum Prize, the first offspring of the Great Shock to win the Chrysanthemum Prize, and even Wada-kun once had a battle with Satomi Kozan, riding the very same Miki Rocket that later helped him win his eighth GI.

Because Jinlang knew this very well, he was also very curious as to why Kita Genko and Satomi Hikari, who should have been rivals, became friends.

"Xiaoguang and I have been friends since we were little! We went to school together, attended classes together, and were even in the same class all along!"

In response to Jin Lang's question, Bei Fang Xuanju replied energetically, "We've come to visit Treson Academy. Xiao Guang and I both hope to enroll in Treson Academy. We'll be old enough to enroll next year!"

"We all decided to join Treson Academy because we admire the Miracle Team." Satomi Hikari, standing beside him, also looked at Meguro McQueen next to Imai with sparkling eyes and said excitedly:

"Actually, Xiao Bei and I didn't come here just because we admire Emperor and McQueen. We are all fans of the Miracle Team."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Beifang Xuanju nodded heavily and immediately said excitedly, "The great opera seniors of the End of the Century Overlord! The golden master of the Golden Tyrant! And seniors Nutao and Zhenjiling! Xiaoguang and I admire them very much!"

"We all hope to join Team Miracle! To become legendary Uma Musume girls like our predecessors!"

"Hey?! What about me?! You two brats, you've talked about all the racehorse girls in our team, but why didn't you mention me, Lord Golden Ship?!"

However, the innocent remarks of the two children, Genko and Hikari, clearly displeased Golden Ship. She was still unhappy about their favoritism earlier, and now that she knew they were fans of the entire Miracle Team but not her, Golden Ship, she became even more dissatisfied.

Her performance as Lady Golden Ship over the past two years has been outstanding! How is she inferior to Emperor and McQueen?

What Golden Ship didn't know was that the main reason why the Northern Election and Satomi Mitsuzuki had different opinions about her was because her own performance made it difficult for them to accept her.

Golden Ship and East Sea Emperor are each other's strongest rivals in the same generation. At the same time, due to some past reasons, Golden Ship ended Emperor's undefeated three-time championship in the first stop of the classic three-time championship. This makes it difficult for Northern Black Horse, who is a fan of Emperor, to become her fan, even though they are on the same team and even though they seem to get along very well now.

As for Satomi Mitsuzu, she doesn't dislike Golden Ship. After all, after the Hanshin Grand Prix, Golden Ship debuted to encourage Megumi McQueen and was described as "possessed by Megumi McQueen" on the field. This is a scene that Satomi Mitsuzu can't forget. Of course, she doesn't dislike Golden Ship. In fact, she has a very high opinion of Golden Ship.

However, there was ultimately a reason—also due to the classic year, when Kozan Satomi was thinking, "Why don't I become a fan of both the Golden Ship and Mejiro McQueen?", the Golden Ship's sudden poor performance at the Yayoi Sho and their obvious abandonment in the Japanese Derby made Kozan Satomi abandon that idea.

The reason she became a fan of Mejiro McQueen was because after his defeat at the Hanshin Grand Prix, he did not give up but instead proved his ability at the Spring Emperor's Prize, washing away his shame. His composure and ease in the Arima Memorial, where he fearlessly challenged the Goldsmith and the noblewoman, were the reasons she admired him.

As for Goldship's slacking off... at least, Satomi Hikari doesn't intend to become a racehorse girl like Goldship who gives up halfway. She hopes to become a racehorse girl like Megumi McQueen, who will do her best to create a momentary miracle no matter who the opponent is.

"Yes, even if her future opponent is Kobei, she will definitely not hold back!" Satomi Mitsuzumi thought to herself, and set her goal.

"The answer is obvious." Megumi McQueen said to the Golden Ship with the same matter-of-fact attitude, "It's definitely because you never go all out on the track. What normal person would like a racehorse girl with such a huge unpredictability?"

"That's outrageous! My fans are just as many as McQueen's, okay?!"

That's the truth. Although Golden Ship has a lot of quirky antics during the competition, she really doesn't lack fans or support. In Megumi McQueen's words, Golden Ship has attracted a group of people who are "very similar to her but don't have the guts to do what she dares to do."

This resulted in Goldship having a fan base that was no smaller than anyone else in Team Miracle, despite her inconsistent performance; in fact, her fans were even more "fervent" than those of other Uma Musume members.

"Alright, let's not discuss this issue any further, shall we?" Jinlang, who had also been troubled by this problem before, immediately stopped the two women before things escalated. He then turned to Satomi Hikari and Kita Genko and said in a low voice:

"Gentlemen, if you are planning to apply to Treson Academy and join the Miracle Team, then I would very much like to welcome you."

"Huh?! Really?!"

Jin Lang's words greatly surprised the two little ones. They never expected that the opportunity they had been dreaming of would actually be right in front of them! Meanwhile, McQueen and the Emperor looked at Jin Lang with some confusion, and then subconsciously glanced at the Light Diamond and the North, who had not yet been fully transformed.

Could these two be the racehorse girls the trainer is looking for, the ones who meet the criteria?

"Yes, as long as you can enroll through the normal process, Team Miracle will welcome you to join the team." Jin Lang said without hesitation, "Your talent is quite good, and in the future you may become a legendary racehorse girl whose achievements are no less than those of Emperor and McQueen."

"Really! Not inferior to an emperor!" Upon hearing this, the Northern Black Steed's eyes lit up with excitement, while Jin Lang nodded firmly and added:

"Of course, the premise is that you don't waste your talents and go back to train yourselves properly. You are still young now, and perhaps one day in the future, you will become the stars of tomorrow."

In that case, we'll have a replacement for McQueen and the Emperor after their retirement. Jin Lang thought to himself, unaware of the subtle glances McQueen and the Emperor gave towards Northern Genko and Satomi Hikari.

...Is this the horse girl who will succeed them in the future? It seems a little unreliable, doesn't it?

Chapter 585: The Emperor and McQueen were very strict with their descendants.

Originally, Emperor and McQueen had some reservations when they heard that their trainers were going to recruit new racehorse girls, but in the end they chose to acquiesce.

Because they all know very well that it is time for their trainers to think about this issue. As a whole, the members of Team Miracle are starting to enter their retirement period. At that time, everyone will either find a job, graduate, or go on to further their studies, and they will soon embark on completely different lives.

Take Good Opera, for example. She's currently the president of Treson Academy, and it seems unlikely she'll leave that position until a successor is found. Like Rudolph, she'll probably be a senior student for who knows how long...

The Gold Master is now considered to have advanced to higher education, but during her three-year study period, in addition to studying in Japan, she also frequently participates in expeditions around the world—this is also part of her study program. The three years are not just for the Gold Master to study, but also to help them win more honors.

As for Nutao, she has decided to stay and become the next student council vice president, and she won't be separated from Haogeki and Wada. Maki-rei has also planned to continue her studies, but this plan will be after she becomes a legendary Uma Musume (horse girl).

As for Empress and McQueen, there's not much to say. McQueen has already decided to go abroad for an expedition and travel the world, while Empress's future is likely to be further education—her family certainly won't allow her to go to work right after graduating from high school like some other high school students. Her career may not last long due to her physical condition, but her future achievements in the horse racing industry will definitely not be less than others.

However, what the Emperor of the East Sea didn't know was that after undergoing the trials before the Chrysanthemum Festival, his leg condition was now completely different from before. Although he hadn't yet reached the level of a Golden Master, compared to many other racehorse girls with similarly fragile legs, the Emperor of the East Sea had undoubtedly crossed that threshold.

Even so, they are very concerned about what kind of racehorse girl will take their place in the current team. Although McQueen and Emperor seem to be easy to get along with, they will not compromise on this issue.

When Emperor and McQueen discovered that their trusted trainers had chosen two little horse girls to take their place—though neither of them said anything, they were still somewhat puzzled and a little resentful.

Why these two? While I'm happy they're my fans, do they have some special talent? Why can't I see it in them?

"Really? Is it really possible? Xiao Bei and I—we can join Team Miracle?!"

Jin Lang's words surprised Satomi Mitsuzumi greatly. She was a beat slow to react before she realized what he meant and said with delight:

"That's great! Xiao Bei, we can be together after we apply to Treson Academy!"

"Yes! Hikaru! That's great!"

The Northern Black Steed was also overjoyed, and the two little ones quickly grabbed each other's hands as if swinging on a swing. In an instant, the Emperor and McQueen's expressions softened considerably upon seeing the two adorable children's joyful faces.

Well, at least it looks cute, so it should be okay, right?

"In that case, Jinlang, the trainer, will become my and Xiaoguang's trainer next?"

Northern Black Steed quickly realized the problem and looked at Jin Lang with delight, while Guang Zuan's eyes also shone slightly as he said:

"Then, should we call him... Tuorana?"

"Hehe, please guide me, my future burden!"

Northern Black Horse was clearly more affectionate than Light Diamond. The thought that the trainer in front of him was not only his idol's trainer, but also his future trainer made him stand affectionately between Jinlang and Emperor.

The North didn't think too much about it; rather, children her age simply couldn't think of anything else. They always expressed their affection very obviously, such as by getting closer to their elders. And children themselves often lack a sense of security, so they always like to gravitate towards the center of their elders' lives.

The actions of the Northerner were unintentional, but for the onlookers, they were quite different. In an instant, the eyes of the Eastern Sea Emperor and Mubai McQueen widened almost simultaneously, and they subconsciously took a step closer to Jinlang.

"—But not yet, reserve member Kita-chan!"

However, both the Emperor and McQueen seemed to realize that their reactions had been a bit too strong. The Emperor quickly covered it up and said, "The test to join the team is very strict. If you don't meet the requirements, even our fans will be eliminated!"

"...Although the emperor's words were a bit extreme, it is true that if we are to choose the successors of our will, we will certainly need to put you through a rigorous test."

With the emperor as the scapegoat, McQueen's tone softened considerably as he said, "We are very strict, so please be prepared."

"Yes, yes! Please guide me!"

McQueen and Emperor looked serious, which made the two boys tense up again, but they still nodded defiantly.

Meanwhile, the Golden Ship had been watching this scene closely. However, compared to the Emperor and McQueen at this moment, the Golden Ship, who had a better relationship with Jin Lang, waved his hand helplessly and said softly with a subtle smile on his face.

"Seriously, my two teammates are such jealous people."

She's not as magnanimous as Lady Golden Ship. She wouldn't act so anxiously and protectively just because the old man went to take care of the other racehorse girls. She's not calm at all.

Clearly, Golden Ship herself has forgotten how she "begged" her old man not to leave her and to always put her first. Or perhaps, Golden Ship is just a racehorse girl who automatically ignores her own dark history.

……

After saying goodbye to the two little ones who had qualified for the early interview to join the team, Jin Lang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. But at that moment, the sleeves of both of Jin Lang's hands were suddenly tugged.
