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

“You don’t need to know that much right now.” But “Good Opera” simply said to Good Opera, “You have no idea what you’re rebelling against. It’s your own destiny. Do you think all of this is so easy to avoid?”

"This time, the obstacles you face will be greater than ever before. To win, simply surpassing me won't guarantee victory."

"Let me give you some advice. I don't know anything yet, so be careful. Surpassing me is nothing. You have to try to surpass your own destiny."

"My own destiny?"

However, Good Opera kept muttering to itself, while the "self" in front of it had long since disappeared, as if it had never existed, making Good Opera wonder if it was just a hallucination.

Perhaps… I should go see the president? See if they have a way to handle this? At this moment, Good Opera felt more uneasy than ever before. She needed to consult with Rudolf, the "Emperor," to see what she should do in this situation…

Chapter 83: Jin Lang: Should I discourage this child's confidence?

"Crossing the finish line! Megumi McQueen did it! She has won the Iris Sho! She defeated her opponent by a single horse length without any doubt, securing the victory!"

—On the television screen, the two horse racing girls from the Mejiro family were watching the recorded broadcast of Mejiro McQueen's undisputed victory. Mejiro Ryan and Mejiro Zenshin watched the race, and seeing McQueen waving in triumph on the broadcast, Ryan couldn't help but smile:

"This trainer named Jin Lang is really something. McQueen is already starting to show his talent."

"Yes, McQueen won both the debut competition and the Iris Award beautifully." Meguro Yoshinobu replied gently, "It seems that Trainer Jin-Nani has taught McQueen very well."

"But that would make it a bit slow to catch up with the Japanese Derby. To participate in the Japanese Derby, you need to win or be in the top three of at least three matches, or at least be in the top four of the Aoba Award or the Satsuki Award."

"McQueen is definitely out of the running for both the Aoba Prize and the Satsuki Prize, so that means the next match, barring any unforeseen circumstances... will probably be the Kyoto News Cup."

"Huh? Didn't it just bump into me?"

Megumi Rayne only realized this belatedly when she heard it. Her competition schedule overlapped with Megumi McQueen's. She was also about to participate in the Kyoto News Cup, but not for the Japanese Derby, but for the Chrysanthemum Sho.

Megumi Ryan originally planned to participate in the Japanese Derby, but because McQueen was also going to participate, she quickly changed her goal to the Chrysanthemum Prize, because she hoped that her more talented younger sister could win her first GI as soon as possible and grow up quickly.

Even so, Megumi Rayon found himself unable to avoid competing with his younger sister, and with a slight pain in his eyes, he said:

"Should I run against McQueen? Oh no, that's not good. I really want to win, but McQueen has a brighter future than me and is more likely to achieve her goal of winning the Emperor's Prize. But if I don't participate in the Kyoto News Cup, my race schedule will be in trouble. What about the Chrysanthemum Prize?"

“Sister Ryan, even if you don’t participate in the Japanese Derby, you will still face off against McQueen in the Chrysanthemum Sho later.” Upon hearing this, Meguro Yoshinobu smiled slightly and said, “And it’s not just McQueen, but also two racehorse girls from another trainer named Wada Ryuji.”

"We're bound to meet sooner or later anyway, so why not test McQueen's progress during the Kyoto News Cup?"

"That's not good! McQueen can't possibly outrun me now!"

Upon hearing this, Megumi Ray immediately shook her head and stood up. She had a clear understanding of her own abilities. She debuted earlier than McQueen, and she was currently the Megumi family's main racehorse girl. It could be said that Megumi Ray was the racehorse girl with the best chance of winning the Emperor's Prize so far.

With such strength, Megumi Rayon could achieve a good ranking even in the Classic Triple Crown. Megumi McQueen has only been in the industry for a few months and has only participated in two or three competitions. To Megumi Rayon, McQueen is still a little sister.

If the Kyoto News Cup wins against McQueen... then McQueen won't be able to participate in the Japanese Derby!

"There's still time! I need to go back to Treson Academy and find McQueen's trainer to persuade him to change his mind!"

Without hesitation, Megumi Ryan grabbed his bag and ran out of the Megumi residence, heading towards the Teresen Academy...

……

"Hmm, let me see. If you, Golden Ship, debut next year, you'll still be competing with the Master. But you can't miss this opportunity either. So, Golden Ship, you have to debut by next year at the latest."

"It's alright, it's alright. With my strength, Lord Golden Ship, winning the game is a piece of cake, isn't it?"

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that Master Sister would be so difficult to deal with. She's even more troublesome than Lord Golden Ship. McQueen is really in for a headache now, hehehe."

Meanwhile, in the conference room, in his own room, Jin Lang was discussing the upcoming competition arrangements with Golden Ship. McQueen had already gone to train on his own. During this time, Jin Lang had been having McQueen and Golden Ship run side-by-side, training himself while also helping to improve Golden Ship's strength.

During this period, Jinlang didn't have much to do, but the only headache was the situation with Chitian. The Golden Master had too many problems, and Chitian alone was somewhat powerless to solve them. Therefore, he needed to consult Jinlang on many issues.

Jinlang is also trying his best to help Chitian, but ultimately the problem can only be solved by Chitian himself...

"Golden Grandmaster's first official match is about to begin. Although she is aiming for the Classic Triple Crown next year, before that, we need to help Golden Grandmaster find her form as soon as possible, the kind of form she had during her debut match."

"But this is a problem that only Chi Tianjun can worry about. There's not much we can do."

Jinlang was also helpless in this regard. At this moment, he felt like he was half a father to Chitian. After Chitian took over the Golden Master, she encountered more troubles every day than Hetian. Hetian knew how to deal with it, but the Golden Master... even Chitian couldn't understand her.

Fortunately, Jinlang has a wealth of experience and can help Chitian in many ways. He can even keep McQueen's training progress up to par. During this period, McQueen's progress has been quite remarkable.

"Golden Ship, go and call McQueen back. The Kyoto News Cup is coming up soon, and we should start giving McQueen some intensive training."

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Without a word, Golden Ship immediately headed outside. However, just as Golden Ship reached the door, a series of urgent knocks rang out.

"Trainer Imai! Mr. Imai! Please let me in! I am Mejiro Ryan!"

"...Miss Ryan?" Jinlang hesitated, wondering why Meguro Ryan had suddenly arrived, but under the questioning gaze of the Golden Ship, he nodded and decided to let Meguro Ryan in.

"Click".

"Trainer Jinlang! McQueen told me your new camp was here, and I found it!" Meguro Ryan immediately sat down in front of Jinlang. He was quite respectful to the trainer, whom even his grandmother treated with great deference.

"Miss Ryan, it's been a long time. I thought our next meeting would be at the competition venue. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to visit me." Jin Lang gestured for the Golden Ship to return, then turned his gaze to Ryan and asked:

"So, Miss Ryan, are you here to see McQueen? She should be at the training ground right now; I'm having her prepare for the Kyoto News Cup..."

"No, I came to see you. I'm planning to talk to you and see if we can change the course of McQueen's competition."

Megumi Laien got straight to the point, explaining her purpose. Her words immediately alerted the Golden Ship, whose ears perked up slightly.

Did she just hear something particularly interesting?

Mejiro Ryan of the Mejiro family actually wants to persuade McQueen's trainer not to participate in the Kyoto News Cup? Is this some kind of shady dealing? Golden Ship's quick thinking immediately led her to a different conclusion, and soon, she quietly headed towards the door…

She couldn't miss this opportunity! Of course, she should call McQueen over to see it too! The Golden Ship, always eager for a good show, thought to itself.

Inside the room, Jinlang was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then asked, "Miss Ryan, why is that? You should know very well that the Kyoto News Cup is related to McQueen's eligibility to play in the Japanese Derby, right? As long as he wins this match, McQueen's Japanese Derby and the Chrysanthemum Prize will be basically guaranteed. Why do you still want McQueen to avoid the match?"

"Because I don't want to ruin McQueen's chance in the Japanese Derby!" Meguro Ryan said anxiously. "If I win, won't it be difficult for McQueen to participate in the Japanese Derby? It's better to take advantage of the time and quickly choose other matches to participate in. That way, as long as we can win two matches, we can definitely participate in the Japanese Derby."

"I don't want to defeat McQueen myself, she'll be very sad..."

"..." However, upon hearing this, Jin Lang raised an eyebrow slightly, and a feeling of amusement suddenly arose in his heart.

The Mejiro sisters... seem to have a really good relationship, but Mejiro Ryan doesn't seem to realize that Mejiro McQueen is no longer a simple little sister.

All I want to say right now is: Ms. Ryan, wake up, or you might feel like you're dreaming at the Kyoto News Cup.

The current Megumi McQueen is not the same McQueen who participated in the Iris Sho. If you underestimate her like this, you might end up getting a good scolding from your own sister.

Chapter 84: Miss McQueen is very unhappy

“Miss Ryan, I really want to tell you that the current McQueen is not the McQueen you remember. She has grown up and is no longer a simple Mejiro family sister.”

Although Jinlang really wanted to say something like, "McQueen has grown up enough to beat you," as an old man, he chose what he considered the gentlest words to say to Megumi Ryan, even though these kids were all "juniors" in his eyes:

"She has now grown into a strong racehorse girl. Although Madam Mejiro has imposed some restrictions on me, which has somewhat limited my ability to push McQueen to her limits, she is still not a racehorse girl who can be easily manipulated."

"McQueen is strong now, strong enough to go to a bigger stage—perhaps GI is not a dream for her, but an honor that she can strive for as long as she takes one step forward."

"Miss Ryan, you don't still think that McQueen, as my designated racehorse girl, is still that impulsive and immature little sister who hasn't lost weight yet?"

Even if you say that…

However, Jin Lang's seemingly factual interpretation made Ryan very hesitant. She was caught between rationality and emotion. She wanted to believe that Jin Lang was right and that McQueen had grown enough to go to a bigger stage.

But she was still worried that she might hurt McQueen during the match, thus costing McQueen the chance to win the Japanese derby—if that happened, not only would Ryan not be able to forgive her, but her grandmother might also do something...

As for asking Ryan to throw the race, that's even more impossible. It should be said that once a female racehorse steps onto the track, there's no possibility of her throwing the race. Their purpose is victory, honor, and running; throwing the race would be a desecration of their own abilities and a disrespect to their fellow female racehorses.

Therefore, if Ryan and McQueen were to actually meet on the field, the sisters would definitely not give an inch and would both unleash their full power to win, without a doubt.

"Tap tap tap." Just then, a knocking sound suddenly rang out, causing Ryan and Jinlang inside to look over. Soon, Megumi McQueen's gentle voice came through.

"Trainer, I brought some snacks and tea. May I come in?"

"...Please come in." Jinlang nodded and said. Soon, with the sound of the door being pushed open, Megumi McQueen, carrying a plate, entered the room with a smile on his face.

"Yo, McQueen—" Megumi Ryan saw McQueen again and wanted to greet him as gently as usual, but before she could finish speaking, McQueen brushed past her as if he hadn't seen her at all.

"Clang." The sound of the plate being set down was neither too loud nor too soft. McQueen's face still held a gentle smile, looking even more amiable than before, but for some reason, it gave off a very subtle sense of danger.

"Mr. Jinlang, I brought you two cups of vegetable juice from Ms. Sugawa Tezuna. I heard it's very healthy. I noticed you usually only drink goji berry tea, why don't you try this?"

A gentle smile appeared on McQueen's face as he pushed a glass of vegetable juice in front of Jin Lang, squinting his eyes as he said, "It's very healthy and good for your health."

"Uh... thank you, Miss McQueen?"

However, Jin Lang could also sense from McQueen that although he was smiling, his mood was not as wonderful as it seemed on the surface, and he even changed his form of address back to honorifics.

Normally, McQueen wouldn't be so... intimate with Jin Lang as he is today. Their interactions are always very measured; McQueen has immense respect for Jin Lang, and Jin Lang's feelings for McQueen remain within the bounds of a junior's affection for a child, without ever crossing any lines.

This is completely different from the situation in Wada and Ikezoe. In Wada, both sides are almost aware of the matter between the opera and the waves, but neither of them has spoken out about it. The two women are so close to Wada that they are practically inseparable.

The situation was similar for Chi Tian, ​​except that Zhen Jiling clung to Chi Tian almost without any concealment, while the Golden Master himself was quite "reserved." This was mainly because Chi Tian was worried that if he approached the Golden Master without permission, he would be kicked by her again...

"Um, McQueen?"

"Oh my, isn't this Ryan? I didn't even see you here." McQueen, however, was the one who "noticed" Ryan's figure, and feigned genuine surprise as he said:

"So, Ryan, what brings you to 'my' (emphasis) trainer? Especially since the Kyoto News Cup is just around the corner."

"Ah, I see. Is it because Sister Ryan is going to participate in the competition with me soon, so she came early to declare war on me?"

McQueen appeared gentle, as if he truly meant what she said. However, Jin Lang immediately understood that McQueen knew everything; she had come to vent her frustration because she felt slighted.

"Well, actually, I just came to talk to Mr. Jinlang about a small matter..." Megumi Laien seemed not to understand the meaning behind McQueen's words, but she could sense that McQueen was not as happy as he appeared on the surface, and she said with cold sweat dripping down her face.

"I see, you're here to see the trainer. Should I excuse myself?"

A gentle smile appeared on McQueen's face as he said, word by word, "Those who get in the way should leave as soon as possible. Yes, I am that person who gets in the way."

"..."

Having never realized McQueen possessed such a talent for being sarcastic and unpredictable, Jin Lang was starting to feel the pressure and, taking the opportunity, said to Ryan:

"That's it, Miss Ryan. McQueen is my assigned racehorse girl. This is the result of our discussion, and we won't change our minds unless she has a different opinion."

"Let's meet at the Kyoto News Cup. You'll get the answer you're looking for then."

"—The Golden Ship, don't hide it anymore, see the guests out."

"Alright~" At this moment, the Golden Ship, which had been hiding outside the door, darted out with a grin. Upon seeing the Golden Ship's appearance, Jin Lang sighed and immediately understood the whole story.

Without a doubt, it was the Gold Ship that tipped off McQueen, which is why McQueen rushed over in such a state. Obviously, the Gold Ship embellished the message during the relay, otherwise, given McQueen's composure, he would never have lost his composure like that.

But what could Jinlang say about Golden Ship? This child was like his own granddaughter to Jinlang, and now that she had become a racehorse girl, this feeling was even clearer to Jinlang, making it even more impossible for him to be angry with Golden Ship.

After the golden ship saw Ryan off, only McQueen and Jin Lang remained in the room. At this moment, McQueen finally suppressed his smile and turned to Jin Lang, saying:
