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

Jin Lang was well aware that the Emperor had been hiding her "domain" from herself and everyone else, all in order to give everyone a surprise, an opportunity to witness her growth and her transcendence.

No matter what, Jinlang will definitely be there. He will be present for any race of any of the races by his team's race girls. This is not just to watch the race; his presence is a source of reassurance for the Emperor.

This is, after all, the first time the Empress has faced Rudolf as an opponent. At this moment, Rudolf will no longer be her support, but her enemy. If Jinlang does not come to the scene to support the Empress, will the Empress still have enough courage to challenge Rudolf?

Perhaps Jin Lang isn't that important, but he must rule out the possibility that it might affect the Emperor's performance. If the Emperor loses what might be the only chance in his life to directly surpass Rudol's symbol just because of her, then perhaps the Emperor will never again be able to unleash the power to surpass his original achievements.

"...You and that emperor really have the same temperament. Now I finally understand how you two fell in love."

After a moment of silence, Sirius surprisingly didn't get angry. Instead, he said with a slight smile, "Since you're going to give me a difficult problem, then there's nothing I can do."

"I didn't originally intend to watch that emperor's match, but it would be nice to see that high and mighty guy defeated by the disciple he personally trained. I'll be looking forward to your performance."

Chapter 592: Another Self in the Emperor's Dream

The fact that he was being targeted by the Symbol family did have some impact on Imai – it meant that he was now being watched by two of Tokyo’s largest horse racing families, the Mejiro family and the Symbol family.

Now, Jin Lang himself has broken ties with the head of the Meguro family, along with Meguro McQueen. But that's not because Jin Lang is particularly eloquent. Rather, it's because the old lady of the Meguro family is the kind of person who happens to love children immensely, but gradually lost herself in the busy family life, yet quickly rediscovered her kind heart.

However, the Symbol family... Jin Lang guessed from Sirius's words that the current head of the Symbol family should be the maternal grandfather of the original world's Ludo Symbol, the Speed ​​Symbol.

Moreover, judging from Sirius's words, the speed symbol who is the head of the family in this world is not someone as easy to talk to as Old Lady Megumi. She is definitely a head of the family full of authority and very capable. Otherwise, she would not have been able to suppress a racehorse girl like Rudolph. In particular, many signs indicate that Rudolph in this timeline is the same as what I know now as a tyrant who is fearless and tyrannical. He only improved a lot later on.

Regardless of the outcome, as long as the performance of the Emperor is close to or even surpasses Rudolph's after the Arima Memorial Tournament, and as long as the Emperor's performance is strong enough, then without a doubt, Imai will be given the honorary title of "East Blue Emperor of the Trainer World," and will then have some interesting interactions with the Symbol family, who have a very good relationship with the East Blue family...

Just as Sirius said, Jinlang really didn't want to have any dealings with such a powerful family anymore... The risk level was just too high. He was already very lucky to have made it this far after offending the Mejiro family. If he offended the Symbol family as well... Jinlang might really not be able to stay in Tokyo then.

But now, no matter what he does, he can't escape these things. Even if Sirius says it's true, and he doesn't go to the Arima Memorial event, and then immediately flies abroad with McQueen and the Golden Ship after the race, can he really avoid it?

Maybe he can get away with it this time, but you can't hide forever. Is he really going to never return to Japan because of this? Is he really going to abandon the team, abandon Emperor and Rudolph?

Therefore, escaping is absolutely impossible; it's better to face it openly and honestly.

"However, suddenly the emperor's performance became linked to my abilities as his trainer... It's a strange feeling."

"Isn't it possible that the Empress's current abilities are all due to her own talent, and I, as her trainer, am just going with the flow?"

...Well, even Jinlang himself didn't believe such an excuse. He knew very well how much effort and energy he had spent cultivating an "unyielding emperor." It could be said that Jinlang had spent more effort cultivating an emperor of the East Sea than cultivating three Megumi McQueens.

The Emperor's achievements are within Jin Lang's expectations, but the Emperor's growth rate is... somewhat unfathomable. Can a breakthrough in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation really bring about such an improvement for the Emperor? Jin Lang finds it hard to believe.

"Never mind, the competition starts in two months anyway. In the meantime, let's take good care of the Emperor's condition."

Jinlang stopped dwelling on these thoughts and decided to take good care of Emperor and Rudolph for the next two months, hoping that nothing unexpected would happen to them before the competition.

In any case, the Arima Memorial must proceed smoothly. At present, although the Emperor's condition has stabilized, it is not necessarily completely safe. After all, the Emperor's morbid constitution... whether it has improved under the blessing of the three goddesses is still uncertain.

……

"Hehehe~ Honey Special Drink~ Honey Special Drink~ As long as you drink the honey special drink~"

"The Emperor is in such a good mood." In the dormitory, Heavy Cannon has been beaming with joy lately. The reason is none other than her roommate, the Emperor of the East Sea, who brings her good mood every day. This relaxed feeling makes Heavy Cannon feel much happier.

I don’t know how long it’s been, but ever since the Chrysanthemum Appreciation, I’ve been able to see the East Sea Emperor in a very good mood every day. Although the Emperor has always been in a good mood and has a friendly attitude, it’s true that the Emperor is in an exceptionally good mood these days.

It was as if she was drinking free honey drinks every day, but Chongpao had already gotten used to it. Rather, she was quite happy to see the emperor so happy every day.

"Hehe, I'm going to the Arima Kinen tournament with the president soon. Your Majesty, I must make sure to keep myself and my mind in good spirits during this time!"

The Emperor, beaming with pride, turned to Heavy Cannon and said, "You absolutely must come and see it then, Heavy Cannon! As my roommate, you'll have to witness my heroic defeat of the Chairman!"

"Hehe, Maya is really looking forward to it~" Heavy Cannon smiled upon hearing this, but asked with some doubt:

“But Maya doesn’t quite understand—Your Majesty, didn’t you like the president the most… no, Rudolf the most? Why are you going to defeat her now? Isn’t she someone you admire?”

"Hmph, so you really don't understand at all, Maya." The Emperor became even more animated at the mention of this, saying each word clearly, "I admire the President because I will definitely surpass her in the future! She is the role model I aspire to! But Your Majesty, my goal is to surpass even the President's role model!"

"In Suzuka's words—'We will never give way to the scenery ahead!' That's it!"

"Defeating the president is just one part of my journey, Your Majesty! I want to see what the scenery ahead of the president is like. My goal is to reach the top of the world! Just like my fellow opera singer and the master craftswoman!"

"Wow, that's quite the imposing presence, Your Majesty! But I, Maya, will not lose!"

Heavy Cannon also sensed the intense fighting spirit emanating from the Emperor. However, for some reason, Heavy Cannon vaguely saw a figure behind the Emperor that was similar in build to the Emperor but seemed to be a few sizes taller.

—Like a larger version of the East Sea Emperor in his final suit? Heavy Cannon blinked, but the similar figure behind the Emperor vanished the next moment.

Did the Maya see things wrong? Was it just a shadow?

"Alright! Time to sleep!"

The emperor, however, did not notice the change in the expression in the cannon's eyes. Even when the child was sleeping, he seemed to be doing a task with great seriousness. Before long, the emperor, wearing pajamas, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep quickly with an enviable quality of sleep.

Although Chongpao was curious, he didn't say anything. He simply turned off the light, lay down on the bed like an emperor, and quickly fell asleep.

However, what Heavy Cannon didn't know was that while her dreams might be of an endless Simmons mattress piled high with carrots, the emperor's dreams already knew, making the current emperor eagerly anticipate falling asleep every day.

In the emperor's consciousness, she opened her eyes as always and appeared once again in a pasture. In front of her, there was a version of herself, dressed in a battle suit, taller and more beautiful than her, like an enlarged version of herself!

"Another me!" The Emperor of the East Sea, however, was already used to this scene. He skipped forward and excitedly said to the enlarged version of herself in front of him:

"Another me! I'm about to participate in the Arima Memorial! I'm about to face off against the chairman!"

"My dream can finally come true! I'm so happy!"

“…That’s wonderful.” After a moment of silence, the enlarged “Emperor of the East Sea” smiled gently and said softly, “You’re so confident about your upcoming duel with Rudolf.”

"Yes! After all, Your Majesty is well prepared!" The emperor also appeared fearless, looking radiant and truly displaying the arrogance and confidence of an emperor, which made the "Eastern Sea Emperor" beside him smile gently.

"Another me! Since you say you are me from the future, you must have competed with the president before, right?"

"So, can you tell me the result of the match? I see you have a ribbon on you, right? It even has Arima commemorative plaques on it! Did I win this match, President?"

"...The future is entirely unknown."

Upon hearing this, the "Empress of the East Sea" paused subconsciously for a moment. She glanced at the sash bearing the "Arima Commemoration" insignia, a symbol of her victory in the match, that she always wore on her winning outfit, before smiling faintly:

“I am just one possibility for your future; now, you can undoubtedly go further than I have.”

"And we're about to face off against another version of myself... I don't have much left to give you."

"Perhaps I'll be leaving soon too. From now on, you'll have to learn to walk the road ahead alone."

"Huh? My other self, are you leaving?"

However, the words of the "Emperor of the East Sea" caused the initially excited emperor to pause slightly, becoming somewhat nervous. The "Emperor of the East Sea," however, smiled and replied:

"Fool, I am you, how could I leave? It's just that you probably won't see me in your dreams anymore, but I will always be with you, and even become a part of you."

"But even if I become a part of you, it doesn't mean you will definitely win, my other self. The most important thing is whether you have the determination to break through your own limits."

But at least, you have now undoubtedly reached a height that I have never reached. The "Eastern Sea Emperor" thought to herself, while her eyes were filled with immense envy for the younger version of herself before her.

To fight one's own father... perhaps only in this world is it possible.

Since this is the only chance we have, we must make the most of it no matter what.

"—Let me pass on my last trick to you, my other self, my true winning technique, which is also the ability you should learn."

Chapter 593: I really want to see braised tofu covered by a thin veil and feel...

For everyone eagerly anticipating the start of the Arima Kinen tournament, the two months have felt like an eternity. The epic showdown between the Tokai Emperor and Rudolf, fueled by the media and Treson Academy's unreserved promotion, has become a hot topic of discussion throughout Japan.

Although Rudolph has been surpassed by Good Opera and is no longer "Japan's strongest," she is still the "Emperor," the representative of the "King of Horse Racing" in Japan. She is recognized as one of the top horse racing girls in Japan, with an unparalleled and irreplaceable status.

The East Sea Emperor is even more well-known. She is a genius racehorse girl who is personally taught by Rudol and treated like a disciple. She has long claimed that she will surpass Rudol. Now, these two racehorse girls, who are like master and apprentice, and also like mother and daughter, will compete against each other at the Arima Kinen at the end of this year. This is undoubtedly exciting news.

Regardless of whether more people support Rudolph or Teio in this race, and whatever the outcome, it won't affect the Japanese public's jubilation and anticipation under the new wave of horse racing fever. Even before the Arima Kinen race has started, it has already ushered in an unprecedented frenzy.

Of course, the Japan Cup over the past two months has become a satisfactory "report card" that the Gold Masters have submitted to the French Academy of Trésin. Although the Japan Cup is an international GI and its prestige is not as high as the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix, it is still a GI. Achieving a GI victory is enough to allow the Gold Masters to continue their studies in Japan with peace of mind.

So far, the Golden Master has won two consecutive Japanese Cups. Of course, she doesn't have any particular feelings about it. Now her mood has returned to its usual calm. Even if she goes abroad to compete alone, it's fine—as long as she doesn't stay there for too long.

During this time, in addition to being busy with his dream practice, our Emperor classmate was also busy with another thing - modifying his final outfit!

Interestingly, both the Golden Ship and the Lady participated in that Japanese Cup. The Golden Ship achieved a third-place finish, while the Lady came in fifth, barely making it into the final round. The reason was that she initially abandoned the Master and instead attacked the Golden Ship, but her [Domain] had the same effect on the Golden Ship as Megumi McQueen's—completely useless.

In the final sprint, the golden ship, which had accelerated to half its maximum speed, was mercilessly slaughtered by the master craftsman, which is why it barely made it to the third turn.

That's right, this is the second time the Empress has made major changes to her final battle outfit. The first time, she combined the two previous outfits, which cost the academy a lot of money. This time, she submitted another application, but not to change the effect of the final battle outfit. Instead, she wanted to add some elements to it that would make her feel more at ease.

"You want to... add some words on it?"

"Yes! Add the names of everyone on our team! Embroider them on the clothes!"

When faced with the elderly horsewoman who had been making final outfits for many years, the Emperor nodded with shining eyes and said, "In this match, I will bring everyone's strength into the arena! So I'm counting on you!"

"I don't care if it looks good or not, I just hope that everyone's names can be embroidered on it! Oh right, I hope that the name 'Emperor of Miracles' can be embroidered on my cape! It's super cool!"

Ever since seeing the title "Golden Tyrant" and the banner of the Golden Master, the Emperor of the East Sea had been eagerly anticipating receiving such treatment. He then shared all his ideas, completely unaware of the dark expression on the old woman's face in front of him.

Does this child completely disregard the opinions of professionals like them? Although embroidering a few words won't diminish the effect of the final battle outfit, these people who make clothes value the quality of their garments, especially the final battle outfit.

It's already difficult enough for the winning outfit to simply have attribute bonuses. The most important thing is that every craftsman who makes the winning outfit must make it as aesthetically pleasing as possible while providing sufficient bonuses. After all, only the running racehorse girl knows about the bonuses, but aesthetics are the first impression for the public. Although it has little effect on the race, it is very useful for the reputation of these makers.

Nobody wants to design an ugly, unbearable final outfit. If that horse girl becomes famous and someone says, "This horse girl is great in every way, except for her final outfit," and then they find out who designed it, well, it was them.

Who will want to get their final outfits made here after that? This is a matter of reputation, okay?!

However, facing the crown prince of Treson Academy and the apple of the eye of the Donghai family, Old Ma's mother simply couldn't bring herself to say some things—this child, though he didn't quite understand the hardships they endured in making the final battle outfits, was undeniably adorable.

"...Fine, I'll change it then. Just don't tell anyone that it was me who made the changes. I can't bear the shame."

"That's outrageous!"

……

However, time passed quickly, and finally, on the day before Christmas, the Arima Commemorative Race, which everyone had been looking forward to, arrived as scheduled. Even though the racetrack staff had made preparations in advance, they were still overwhelmed by the crowds when the day arrived.

Arima Kinen, the most watched horse race in Japan, is comparable to the All-Star Horse Girls race. Nakayama Racecourse makes extensive preparations before each Arima Kinen. This time, for the showdown between Tokai Teio and Rudolf, the organizers of Nakayama Racecourse made many special adjustments a month in advance to prevent large-scale congestion.

However, all these efforts have failed to change the current congested situation. The entire racecourse is overcrowded, with a large number of female horses and human staff working tirelessly to prevent stampedes and turn the race into an accident.

They even borrowed a large number of staff from several other nearby racetracks... and even the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department mobilized, but the overcrowded situation didn't seem to change much; in fact, it got even more crowded... Perhaps it was because law enforcement officers had also infiltrated the crowds?

Inside the Zhongshan Racecourse, every available space was packed with people, and many parents even had their children sitting on their laps.

"Wow, so many people!"

Meanwhile, the Miracle Team members couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at what they saw. They weren't among the first to arrive; they had come through special channels. There were many spots reserved for them, which was part of their "privilege."

As for the rest, whether they are racehorse girls from Treson Academy, ordinary people, or ordinary horse girls, they must enter in order. Apart from the Miracle Team, only members of some large families can enter through special channels.

"I just looked around and the old lady of the Mejiro family is here too, and I think I saw someone who represents the family."
