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

Finally, Ai Musou turned and walked toward her own gate, muttering to herself. Meanwhile, Narita, who was encouraging Nyutō, looked at his devoted friend with some unease, feeling that her emotions seemed somewhat unstable.

But on the other side of the stands, a completely different scene was unfolding...

"I see. It seems that Nutao is quite a troublesome child, just as difficult to reason with as my Orihime."

The trainer who admired Orihime did not accept Wada's cigarette. Instead, she offered him a drink. After a few conversations, the seemingly young female trainer was soon captivated by the talkative Wada and began to chatter on about her interactions with Orihime.

“My Orihime is also very difficult to reason with. She always seems to be under a lot of pressure, doesn’t want to socialize, doesn’t like to talk, and just trains all the time. When I first found her, she had injured her legs from training.”

"Now a year has passed, and my relationship with Orihime has finally eased up a bit. Honestly, when we first got to know each other, I really thought I might freeze to death by her. She was as cold as a block of ice."

"That must have been tough, senior. You should relax a bit."

The trainer who admired Orihime poured out her troubles to her junior, Wada. Wada remained very patient throughout, offering words of comfort and acting as a good listener.

Perhaps it was because Wada and this trainer were about the same age, with the other person looking only five or six years older than Wada. In addition, Wada, this junior, was indeed very humble, which greatly increased the female trainer's goodwill towards him.

"Yes, I also feel that we should find an opportunity to take a vacation, take the child on a short trip somewhere, and help her relax," the female trainer said, leaning on the railing, clearly under a lot of pressure.

"To be honest, there are some things that can't be said directly in front of Orihime, but I really hope that this child can let go of her burden. Right now, she's like a tightly wound spring, and she doesn't even know when she'll snap."

“I’m worried that if she really has a chance to win three titles in the future, she will wear herself out first, and then it will be a loss.”

"—What if my wonderful opera wins?"

At that moment, Wada's sudden remark startled the female trainer. She saw a half-smile on Wada's face, not hostile, but very confident as he said, "If my family's good opera wins, senior, could you try to let Aigumi Orihime put down her burden?"

"You're quite confident, junior! But my Orihime won't lose!" Wada's words ignited the trainer's competitive spirit, and he replied with a smile:

"However, if Orihime really loses, it might actually be good for her—of course, that is, your Good Opera has to beat Orihime first."

"Hahaha! Why are you guys having such a good time chatting?"

At that moment, a male figure walked over from behind the two of them. He recognized them at a glance and immediately said, "Oh, isn't this the trainer of Raging Waves? The one who beat Tojo Hana-senpai—Wada Ryuji?"

“This is Narita’s trainer. We’ve been friends for many years.” The trainer who admires Orihime also smiled gently: “We both entered Central High School and were assigned to Treson Academy together. We’ve been entangled since elementary school.”

"Don't pay attention to this big oaf, just treat him like an idiot."

"Congratulations, when are you getting married?" Upon hearing this, Wada immediately understood and asked with an ambiguous smile.

Wada, who got married at the age of 21, knew very well that if a Japanese woman addressed him in such an ambiguous tone, it was definitely a done deal.

As expected, upon hearing Wada's words, the faces of the two men in front of him visibly flushed. The trainer from Narita Road chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head, and said:

"Um... no rush, no rush, at least let's wait until my kid wins three titles—Ouch! Why did you pinch me? Okay, okay, I won't say anymore! Let's watch the game!"

However, this brief "misunderstanding" instantly boosted the trainer's goodwill towards Wada to a peak. When he first arrived, he was naturally unhappy to see his childhood friend chatting happily with a young and handsome man, and he had originally planned to give the other party a hard time.

However, Wada's assist completely extinguished his temper, and he no longer had any wariness towards his junior, Wada Ryuji. Instead, he planned to take better care of him.

At that moment, everyone's eyes immediately turned to the racetrack. Soon, with the sound of the gates opening, the racehorses rushed out of the gates!

"A beautiful start! All the racehorse girls have taken a great first step!"

"Oh! Aigumi tried to block the route of Good Opera, but Good Opera bypassed her! The first clash has already occurred at the very start. It seems that the competition for the Satsuki Prize is very fierce!"

The commentator's words also surprised Orihime's trainer. She had Orihime focus on the famous general, Raging Waves, because according to the Daily Cup, Orihime's main opponent this time should be Raging Waves. Why would she focus on Good Opera?

However, Oorihime's actions gave Wada a hint of confidence. He knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the victory in this Satsuki Sho would be the award for a great opera!

Chapter 78: The Misjudgment of the Famous General Nu Tao

"Tch, so she managed to dodge it?"

However, on the field, Orihime, who had tried to block the route of good opera from the beginning but failed, felt a little annoyed, but a serious expression appeared on her face.

Just as she thought, the trainer named Wada was very good at opera. Back then on the playground, the trainer probably practiced late into the night to train Wada in opera.

Orihime didn't come to the Satsuki Sho competition unprepared. Unlike other horse girls who confidently believe they are invincible once they step onto the GI stage, she knows very well that she is capable of competing for the GI championship. However, the real formidable opponent she faces is also of the same caliber.

This time, besides Naritaji, with whom she had previously competed for the Yayoi Award and who had caused her to lose, she considered good opera to be a more threatening force than raging waves.

—After all, the fact that trainer Wada went to such lengths, even at the cost of offending (not really) trainer Tojo Hana, to win over Good Opera, means that even though Orihime doesn't get along with Good Opera, she still considers it a rival.

Moreover, she witnessed Hotan giving special treatment to the opera, which further convinced her that the opera definitely had the potential to be valued by Hotan. Perhaps, the opera was just an alternative for Hotan to win over the opera.

Therefore, after repeatedly watching Good Opera's performance in the Daily Cup and confirming that Good Opera's strength was indeed worthy of attention, Ai Musume took it upon herself to choose Good Opera as her opponent, instead of keeping an eye on the famous Raging Wave as instructed by her trainer.

She has only one rival, the racehorse maiden she wants to defeat—only good opera!

"Good Opera's strategy this time is to advance first. Although she has always used a poor running style before the Daily Cup, the last leg of her burst in the Daily Cup should make the 2000-meter distance a piece of cake for her."

"In that case, just like the raging waves, we should erupt even earlier than her, at the last bend, to quickly create distance between us. Even if she finds the spot where she will finally unleash her power, she won't be able to catch up."

Ai Musou had already planned out her strategy. Although her initial attempt to block Kogeki's tactics failed, Ai Musou remained calm, believing she understood Kogeki's tactics well enough. She continued to use her best technique of chasing horses, staying at the back of the group to conserve her energy and prepare to compete with Kogeki at the last bend!

At the front of the pack, Good Opera, Meisho Ryutō, and Narita-ji were all taking the lead, but this time the scene was different from what a racehorse enthusiast had expected.

"How could this be? How could I not have the upper hand from the start?"

Among the leading race of female horses, the renowned rider, Nuotao, showed a rare sign of panic. She was in a very good position, firmly ahead of Naritaji in the leading group. Naritaji tried several times to accelerate and overtake Nuotao, but was suppressed by Nuotao each time, and finally had no choice but to hang in third place.

However, the current first place in the lead position is not Nutao, but Haogeju—Haogeju, who has been training with Nutao the whole time, but is now firmly ahead of her!

How could this be?! Nu Tao couldn't understand. She couldn't believe that her seemingly perfect start, which allowed her to replicate her victory over Good Opera in the Daily Cup, had resulted in her being suppressed by Good Opera in just one month.

During this period, Nu Tao's training was extremely rigorous. Since the victory in the Daily Cup, Nu Tao, who had tasted the sweetness of victory, was much more confident than before. In addition to accepting the training arranged by Wada, she also continuously strengthened her speed and strength training.

Because she defeated Good Opera with this move in the last Daily Cup, her dominance in speed and power left Good Opera helpless, who had no weaknesses but also no particularly outstanding strengths. This reinforced Raging Waves's idea of ​​giving herself special training in strength and speed.

Therefore, during this period of training, Nutao did not cause Wada too much worry. More often than not, even when Wada announced the end of training, Nutao would continue training alone in silence, in order to continue to defeat the good opera at the Satsuki Sho.

But Nu Tao forgot that while she might not actively trouble He Tian, ​​she almost wanted to be inseparable from He Tian when it came to good opera.

During this period, the training arrangements for Good Opera were all planned by He Tian himself. The training arrangements for Good Opera that had been prepared long ago were now coming in handy. Based on He Tian's arrangements, Good Opera underwent a month of specialized training, and its growth in strength was beyond Nu Tao's imagination.

Good opera at this moment is approaching the "great opera of its peak period" as described by Wada at an astonishing speed!

"How could this be? How could my good opera classmate suddenly become so strong?" Nu Tao's mind was filled with questions, but her panic gave Narita Lu behind her an opportunity!

"boom!"

"Oh! Number two, Narita-ro, has broken through the blockade of the renowned general Nu-tao! He has now overtaken Nu-tao and entered second place among the leading horses!"

"Currently leading the pack is number eight, Saima Musume! Number seven, Kogeki! Can Naritaji overtake Kogeki? -- It seems not! The peloton has now passed the second bend and is heading towards the third bend!"

"Ha!" It was only when the commentator's voice that the famous general Nu Tao reacted and subconsciously looked in front of her, only to find that Narita Ji had already surpassed her by about half a horse's length and had turned around to try to suppress her.

This won't do; now is not the time to lose focus.

Try to recapture the feeling you had during the Daily Cup, and use that momentum to overwhelm them...

Nu Tao's eyes closed slightly, then quickly opened again! At this moment, the illusory image of her own "aura" slowly condensed on Nu Tao's body once more!

As the phantom appeared, Nu Tao's momentum surged dramatically! All her worries vanished, and with a burst of power, she overtook Naritaji again, charging towards the back of the Good Opera!

"What?!" Narita was also startled by the sudden change in the raging waves—she had never experienced such terrifying waves before!

"Oh! So you've finally arrived, Raging Waves. It seems you're really eager to test your skills against me, the Overlord!"

Good Opera undoubtedly felt the oppressive force emanating from the raging waves, but she remained completely calm, neither confronting the waves head-on nor attempting to maintain her advantage.

Instead, she voluntarily gave up a position, moving to the outer lane and leaving the inner lane, where she was about to overtake, to the famous general, Nu Tao.

What is this? Nu Tao was also a little confused at this moment, but with the inner path in front of him, Nu Tao certainly had no reason to let it go. He rushed forward and overtook the good opera!

"Oh! The champion, Raging Waves, has caught up! He has now overtaken Good Opera! Even the runner, number eight, has lost speed! Now Raging Waves is in the lead!"

"Wow, so strong..." In the stands, Narita's trainer swallowed hard and muttered to himself, "Truly worthy of being called the famous general Nutao. Although he barely qualified for the competition this time, his strength is undeniable."

"It's really too much of a stretch to have that kid Narita keep an eye on the famous general Nutō. If this continues, I'm afraid Narita won't be able to win..."

As he spoke, the trainer from Narita Road glanced at Wada, who had a serious expression, and said with emotion, "As expected of Wada-kun who defeated Tojo Hana-senpai, I'm afraid I've really lost this time."

Meanwhile, Orihime's trainer remained silent. Although Orihime's initial tactics differed from her expectations, Orihime was still conserving her energy. So far, all of Orihime's tactics were still in rhythm.

But... she's also a little worried now. The gap between the famous general Nutao and Aimu Zhiji is quite large. She's worried that the child might not be able to catch up and surpass Nutao.

As for Hetian... his opinion was completely different from both of them. He saw a major mistake in Nutao's match.

"Unleashing your full power so early... Raging Waves, this is only the third bend! Even if you can maintain that burst of power until the straightaway, will you still have the stamina to unleash it again?"

"The good operas of today are not what they used to be, The Raging Waves..."

Chapter 79: The Amazing Finale of a Great Opera!

"The renowned swimmer Nutao has regained his form! He has overtaken both the Good Opera and Narita Road teams and is now leading the entire team!"

"Can she maintain this advantage? Oh my gosh! Here it comes! Orihime is sprinting! She's overtaken the group of racehorses ahead! She's charging straight towards the front of the pack!"

However, the commentator's voice also pushed the atmosphere of the entire racecourse to its peak. As the most popular contestant in this race, countless people were looking forward to Aimo Orihime winning the crown with a performance similar to that of the Yayoi Sho. Although Narita won the Yayoi Sho, from a visual perspective, Aimo Orihime's final three-wave sprint before the finish line was almost breathtaking.

In this race, Aimori's initial offensive against Good Opera was ineffective, but this did not affect her rhythm throughout the race. Aimori's tactic was to chase the horse, conserve her energy at the back of the pack, and then unleash all her power at the last moment. Against a group of leading racehorses, Aimori's explosive power and conserved energy were undoubtedly greater.

Now, at the crucial moment of the last bend, she finally seized the opportunity and unleashed her long-awaited burst of power!

"Hmm? She had it on her too..."

At that moment, Wada, standing in the stands, immediately noticed the phantom that appeared on Orihime's body, a phantom resembling the raging waves and the opera—but the phantom was very blurry, almost indistinct, with only two vague outlines visible...

Two silhouettes? Wada was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized that it was about the story of his love for Orihime.

"I see... Is it a mission to admire Orihime? Bearing the shared ideals of twins?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

At this moment, Wada's mutterings shocked the trainer who admired Orihime. She subconsciously asked, "I... I didn't say anything about this, did I? How do you know about Orihime?"

"...I had heard some things about people who admired Orihime before. Yes, Nutao told me."

Wada temporarily used her role as a racehorse girl as a shield, and then asked the trainer who admired Orihime, "I heard that Orihime was born as a pair of twins?"

"Yes... Orihime, as a racehorse girl, was born from twins, but there's an almost proven superstition among racehorse girls: twin racehorses can't run fast." The trainer who admires Orihime didn't know this from Orihime herself; she learned it through other means.

"Her twin sister did not survive due to pressure in the uterus, and Orihime was born with her left leg bent inward, just like her mother... slightly deformed."

"Everyone thought she wouldn't be able to become Uma Musume, but she carried the burden of her never-seen sister all the way to where she is today, and finally onto the GI stage..."

"—She said she was running alone, but she... never realized that her sisters were actually running alongside her all along." At this moment, Wada's gaze turned back to the racetrack. At this moment, Aishou Orihime, with the power she unleashed with all her might, quickly overtook a large number of racehorses ahead and was now competing with Nuotao, Naritaji, and Haogeki for the final straightaway distance.

This is the final showdown, and at this moment, only these four racehorse girls can continue to fight for the final victory. This final straight is their decisive battle!

"Damn it, this pressure is immense! What kind of monsters are I surrounded by?!"
