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

"Ugh! It's all because of you, you idiot!" The Golden Master was also furious, hitting Chi Tian as he said, "Why did you buy me such expensive shoes?! I was still thinking about them when I entered the venue, otherwise I wouldn't have been late!"

"Couldn't you have waited until after the game to give me the gift?"

He lost his temper for no reason, but this time the Golden Master didn't make things difficult for Chi Tian. He just vented his anger and stood up from Chi Tian. Then, turning his head away, he extended a hand to Chi Tian as if he didn't care.

“Here.” The Gold Master pretended to naturally try to help Chi Tian up, but in reality, she didn’t have any hope. After all, she was the one who kicked Chi Tian down.

The Golden Master didn't bother explaining her conditioned reflex anymore. She kicked him, and that was that. It wasn't the first time anyway... Perfect, she was just trying to prove that she could win the game without a trainer, so Rudolf wouldn't ask her any more questions.

Anyway, that means this guy definitely won't choose her, right? With a temper like that, how could any trainer possibly want her...?

"Snapped."

"Hmm?" The Golden Master's hand was suddenly grasped, and she instinctively tensed up. She then discovered that Chi Tian had already gotten up from the ground, his joy still evident. With an expression of both pain and delight, he said:

"Master, you really did win! Just as I thought! You truly are the strongest racehorse girl!"

"...You really are a strange fellow." The Golden Master was also slightly stunned, then subconsciously grabbed Chi Tian's hand, but quickly turned his head away and remained silent.

Well… I suddenly felt a little happy. The Golden Master found it hard to describe his feelings. He just felt that there were actually fools who would still believe him after he had treated her so roughly.

"Congratulations, Master Gold, you have won this match."

At that very moment, Rudolf, Qi Kao, and Narita Shirohito slowly walked down from the audience. Rudolf continued clapping and congratulating, while also addressing the Gold Master:

"Although it was a race filled with brutality, Golden Master, you have proven your potential and confirmed that my trust in Trainer Ikezoe was not wrong—you are a racehorse girl with unparalleled potential."

"To win the debut competition without any skill, relying solely on one's judgment and physical strength, is honestly unbelievable even to me. If you can rationally plan your abilities, just how far can you go..."

"And now, Golden Master, I want to ask you one more time: are you willing to become the racehorse girl in charge of trainer Ikezoe?"

This time, Rudol asked the same question to the Gold Master as before, but the Gold Master hesitated and dared not speak, and the matter was left unresolved.

This time, faced with the same question, the Golden Master was unusually silent. She looked at Rudolf's symbol, then at the gentle yet hopeful eyes of Chi Tian beside her, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

She used to be able to say that she was just an ordinary racehorse girl, but now that she has won her debut race and even left the second place by a full three horse lengths, it doesn't sound quite right for her to call herself that anymore.

Chizue seems to be the kind of person who can really accept her... but the Golden Master can't help but worry whether he really has the potential they say he has.

Why does it seem like everyone else thinks she has great potential, but she herself doesn't feel it? The Gold Master was somewhat confused.

Just then, a slightly cold voice suddenly broke the deadlock.

"Master, please grant my request."

"That voice is—the eldest sister?!"

However, when that cold voice came, the Golden Master shivered for no reason, and even Rudolf's symbol and Qi Gauge looked to the side in slight surprise—a racehorse girl wearing a black dress and with long black hair.

At this moment, Lu Duo was startled by the newcomer and subconsciously said:

"The Golden Journey? You, what are you doing here?"

Chapter Sixty-Eight: In the end, the Gold Master chose his own burden.

"The Golden Journey? What are you doing here?"

"Big sister?! What brings you here!"

However, not only Rudolf, Qi Kao, and Narita Shirohito, but also the Golden Master was startled when the racehorse girl named "Golden Journey," dressed in a long black dress and with a cold expression, appeared at the scene.

"Older sister?! You're lying!"

Meanwhile, the Golden Ship also noticed the Golden Journey that had arrived at the arena immediately. Almost instantly, it jumped down from the railing and ran straight towards the Golden Journey.

Jinlang, Wada, and the others were puzzled, but they had been curious about "the eldest sister of the Golden Family" for a long time. After exchanging bewildered glances, they led their respective racehorse girls and ran towards the racetrack.

At this moment, the Golden Ship, the Golden Master, and the Golden Journey of the Golden Family had all gathered at the arena. Facing the astonishment of his two sisters, the Golden Journey remained remarkably calm, saying indifferently:

"Hmm, it's been a long time. Master and Little Golden Ship, you both look very energetic."

"Big sister! Why didn't you tell us you were back! We've been keeping your room empty all this time!" However, after realizing that what was before her was indeed the Golden Journey, the Golden Ship's surprise quickly turned into extreme joy, and she excitedly danced around, saying:

"That guy from Zhongshan keeps saying he wants to see you! We haven't seen you since we saw your match on TV! Where have you been?"

"...There are too many competitions outside; this trip back is just a short stay." However, compared to his own boisterous golden ship and a timid golden master, the Golden Journey seemed much calmer, simply stating:

"Little Golden Ship, don't bother me. I came here specifically for the Master and her trainer, it has nothing to do with you."

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Golden Ship wisely stepped back. She knew that she wasn't the main character this time; Golden Journey was currently most concerned about the Golden Master and Trainer Ikezoe.

After the gold ship had retreated, the golden journeyman also stepped forward and introduced himself:

"Trainer Ikezoe, nice to meet you. I am Golden Journey, the current head of the Golden Family, and the eldest of all the sisters in the Golden Family."

“I’ve learned about your relationship with the Golden Master through some channels. I know today is the Master’s debut match, so I came here specifically to see you. Now, I’ve made up my mind and believe you are the most suitable trainer for the Golden Master.”

“I even had the idea of ​​entrusting more of the Golden Family’s children to you… but I know how troublesome those children are, so I don’t intend to do that.”

"Thank God... Oh no, I mean—you flatter me."

However, Ikezoe, who had been looking forward to having the Golden Master join the family, was so frightened when he heard that the racehorse girl in front of him was the famous "Golden Journey" that he froze. His eyes darted around repeatedly, and he only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that no more racehorse girls from the Golden Family had appeared...

Thankfully, I didn't see any other racehorse girls from the Golden Family... One Golden Master is enough. If Ikezoe were to see "Dream Journey" again... judging from the Golden Master's reaction, I'm afraid my future days would be anything but pleasant.

“Trainer Ikezoe… any child from our Golden family who has the potential to become a racehorse girl is no ordinary person.” However, at this moment, Golden Journey spoke very solemnly: “The potential of each racehorse girl from the Golden family is quite amazing. They are the pride of heaven… but all of this comes at a price.”

"The racehorse girls of the Golden Family all have potential, but it has always been suppressed. They are unruly, irritable, or insecure, but without exception, their potential cannot be stimulated, thus missing the opportunity to show their true strength."

"Over the years, I have traveled to various places and participated in various competitions. I am trying to prove the excellence of the Golden Sword bloodline and to prove to others that although our Golden family bloodline is not very old, it is definitely capable of supporting the future of racehorse girls."

"At the same time... I also encourage these children to bravely explore their potential and overcome their weaknesses."

"Big sister..."

However, these unspoken truths from the Golden Journey left the Golden Ship and the Golden Master speechless. They had never heard the Golden Journey say such things before… They only remembered that they had a reliable elder sister who was constantly challenging and competing.

They all believed that this was the path that Golden Journey had chosen, but they never thought about why she did it—until today they understand.

"Even now, I continue to strive, but the results... are less than satisfactory." Golden Journey neither belittled himself nor praised his contributions; he simply stated it in his usual understated manner:

"But when I heard that this kid, Master, was finally going to participate in the debut competition, I was initially incredulous and even thought that someone was playing me."

“I didn’t know it was all true until I confirmed the news and came to the scene—and I’ve been keeping an eye on you, Trainer Ikezoe.”

"...Follow me?" Upon hearing this, Chi Tian subconsciously pointed to herself. She had no recollection of the Golden Journey in front of her and had never met him before. How could she be following him?

However, Golden Journey smiled slightly and said calmly, "I put on makeup and gave a small reward to one of the staff members here. The staff member who notified you when you were planning to sneak backstage to find the Gold Master was me in disguise."

"Huh—?!" X2

The words of the Golden Journey startled both Chi Tian and the Golden Master. They never expected the Golden Journey to act so quickly; neither of them had noticed it before.

"So, that means—Ikezoe and I were backstage—"

“That’s right, I heard everything.” The Golden Journey smiled and nodded, responding to the Golden Master’s thoughts, and even added, seemingly a little unsatisfied:

"I also saw you looking shy, Master. Really, Master, I've forgotten when was the last time you showed such an adorable expression."

"Gulp... Kill me..."

However, the Golden Master blushed instantly and covered her face with her hands. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask, so it was not too noticeable, but the fact that even her horse ears were red and bleeding, as well as the extremely restless wagging tail behind her, already showed the Golden Master's mood at this moment.

Chi Tian was also stunned by the words of the Golden Journey. She subconsciously glanced at the Golden Master beside her. Seeing that even a fool could see that she had been right, she couldn't help but smile.

It seems... the Gold Master doesn't dislike me that much, he just doesn't like my face.

For some reason, the doubts that had plagued him for years were suddenly answered, and Chi Tian felt a sense of relief.

“This child, Master, possesses a talent that even surprises me; she simply lacks someone to unleash her potential.” Golden Journey turned her gaze back to Chi Tian, ​​and the next moment, she suddenly made a startling move in front of everyone.

All that could be seen was Golden Journey kneeling down, bowing deeply to Ikezoe in a very formal dogeza (a traditional Japanese gesture of respect), and speaking to Ikezoe with utmost solemnity:

"Trainer Ikezoe, please become the trainer for Golden Master and help her become a world-class racehorse girl—please."

"Big sister..."

The Golden Journey's actions startled everyone, even the Golden Ship was momentarily at a loss for what to do. The next moment, Rudolf stepped forward and addressed Chi Tian:

"Trainer Ikezoe, on behalf of the student council president of Treson Academy, I would like to request that you serve as the trainer for the Gold Masters."

"As the Golden Journey says... let this child step onto the world stage, if she really has that potential."

As he spoke, Lu Duo bowed deeply to Chi Tian. And with that, Chi Tian, ​​who had no intention of refusing to begin with, had even less reason to refuse.

"Master?" Chi Tian turned to the Golden Master and asked for her opinion.

"...How could I refuse in this situation?" Although the Gold Master was deeply moved by the dedication he had made on the Gold Journey and the importance placed upon him, he forced a nonchalant expression to mask his true feelings, turning his head away and muttering:

"Alright, I'll do it. Ikezoe, from today onwards you are my Gold Master trainer!"

"Although I'm a gruff, timid, and ordinary racehorse girl who'll kick you, if you think I'll be the strongest racehorse girl in all of Japan—you'd better be prepared!"

"I will not let you go until you turn me into the strongest horse girl in all of Japan!"

"Well then, it's time for me to leave and continue my competitive journey."

"Big sister, are you really not going home for a few days? Everyone misses you so much. We usually only see you on TV..."

The winners' stage has ended, marking a perfect end to the Golden Masters' debut competition. However, as the competition neared its end, despite the pleas of their fellow contestants to stay, the Golden Journey didn't linger for long.

"I've already managed to steal a moment of leisure from my busy schedule this time, so I can't stay with you for too long." The Golden Journey shook his head slightly, and replied with a smile to the Golden Master and the Golden Ship:

"However, I am very pleased to see that you two, Master and Little Golden Ship, have found your own trainers this time. I look forward to competing with you on the same stage one day. At that time, perhaps you will surpass me."

"Little Golden Boat, listen to Trainer Jinlang. You're the most mischievous one in our family, so don't cause any trouble for your trainer."

"What... Lord Golden Ship has been very obedient lately..." Golden Ship also concealed his sadness and said in a nonchalant manner, "McQueen is in the same team as me, and he's been keeping me so busy that I haven't been able to get any rest."

"That's good." Golden Journey nodded, then turned his gaze to the Golden Master beside him and said:

“Master, you are my most valued child. Your potential is greater than you imagine—although this isn’t the first time I’ve said this, you’ve never taken it to heart, have you?”

"I hope that this time, with trainer Ikezoe by your side, you can find a place to unleash your potential."

"Oh." However, the Golden Master was much more honest about the Golden Journey than the Golden Ship. She had already nodded with teary eyes, promising that she would work hard by Chi Tian's side.

After receiving affirmation from her two most worried sisters, Golden Journey felt much more at ease. However, just as she was about to turn and leave, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Chi Tian.

"Trainer Ikezoe, may we speak in private?"

"Huh?" Chi Tian, ​​who was just observing the harmonious coexistence of the Golden Family in this world as an outsider, was suddenly called out. He looked around for a while, and finally, after the Golden Master nodded, he scratched his head and stepped forward.
