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

At this moment, sensing that things were starting to get serious, Golden Ship immediately raised her hand to indicate that this was truly an accident. She hadn't expected that McQueen, who usually suppressed his emotions so severely, would react so strongly after being slightly provoked with sweets.

"Hey, Tuorna, we have to hurry and stop McQueen!" The Emperor of the East Sea tugged at Jin Lang's sleeve, saying anxiously.

"If McQueen eats like this, it will affect her later competitions. Although it won't happen in the short term, McQueen gaining weight will probably be a big blow to her!"

"..."

However, upon hearing this, Jin Lang's brows remained furrowed, and seeing McQueen being barely held back by Ryan and Aldan, he stepped forward and immediately spoke:

"Miss McQueen."

"—A trainer?!"

As soon as Jin Lang spoke, it was as if he had awakened McQueen's senses. McQueen, whose lips were still smeared with cream and who was being supported by Ryan and Aldan, suddenly stiffened and subconsciously looked up, only to see Jin Lang's unprecedentedly serious expression.

This made McQueen realize the seriousness of the situation. She silently pulled her arms out of Ryan and Aldan's arms, stood up straight, and her horse ears drooped down, indicating that her owner had realized her mistake.

"Um, trainer... it's so shameful that you had to witness such an embarrassing moment of my life..."

"If you're going to reprimand me, please don't hold back. As a racehorse girl from the Mejiro family, how could you do something so humiliating? I'm ready to accept any punishment."

After saying that, McQueen covered his face with his hands and lowered his head as if he was too ashamed to face anyone. Ryan and Aldan, who were standing next to him, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that McQueen had regained his senses, but they also looked at Jin Lang, who was now serious, with worry.

"Now, McQueen is probably going to get a scolding," the two women thought to themselves. And all the racehorse girls around them, witnessing this scene, already anticipated what was to come.

When a racehorse girl violates the trainer's rules by suddenly eating a large meal in the canteen, any trainer would be angry.

For a moment, everyone looked at McQueen with a mixture of sympathy and mockery, with some horse racers watching the spectacle and others unable to bear watching any longer. But without exception, everyone felt that McQueen was sure to face severe reprimand this time.

Even the Emperor of the East Sea felt this way. The extremely uneasy emperor was even prepared to step forward and plead for mercy if McQueen was scolded to the point of tears, asking Jin Lang to let McQueen off this time.

"……Ugh."

However, after a long while, Jin Lang's gaze swept over the number of desserts on the table that McQueen had eaten, and he revealed a rather troubled expression.

That expression was like watching her own child misbehave and wanting to get angry, but because the child's attitude of admitting his mistake was so good, she really couldn't get angry. The surrounding racehorse girls were all stunned.

"This is going to be a headache; the food expenses are definitely going to be high."

As Jin Lang said this, he then looked at McQueen, who had slightly raised his head, and smiled:

"McQueen, I'm just a trainer, and another trainer borrowed a lot of my savings, so I can't pay for you here. Please swipe your card yourself."

"After all, we're off today. Miss McQueen, you've been hiding here eating dessert all by yourself, and we haven't had a single bite. So, of course, we don't need to be charged when we settle the bill, right?"

"……well?"

However, Jin Lang's words startled McQueen slightly, but before McQueen could react, he saw Jin Lang pat the shoulder of the man beside the Golden Ship and say with a smile:

"Golden Ship, have you found the restaurant I asked you to find? Do you know of any suitable places for us to have a heart-to-heart talk?"

"—Hehe, of course I found it. It's not far from the school. I'll take you there now."

The Golden Ship immediately realized what was going on, pretending that everything had been arranged, and said with a hint of admiration in its eyes, "Everyone can rest assured about Lord Golden Ship's taste."

"Okay, let's go outside and play now." Jin Lang nodded, very satisfied with the golden ship's reaction. He then looked at the East Sea Emperor beside him and asked with a smile:

"Where's the emperor? Would you like to come along too?"

"Yay! Let's go play together!" The East Sea Emperor wasn't stupid either, and he quickly realized that his trainer was giving McQueen a way out and protecting McQueen's dignity in front of everyone. He immediately nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the Emperor of the East Sea also changed his opinion of Jin Lang, feeling that his trainer was a truly considerate and kind person.

As for McQueen, after learning that Jin Lang had come to her rescue, she was so embarrassed that her face turned bright red, and she was practically running away with her head down.

Chapter 132: In the end, McQueen had no secrets left in front of Jin Lang.

"Manager, a melon parfait, please."

"I'd like a honey special drink! Half water, double the honey, please!"

"I want pineapple pizza... but they don't have any? Then I'll have pasta."

Jinnami and her three horse girls arrived at a dessert shop off-campus. Although they came here to rest on a whim, Golden Ship actually found a nice-looking shop where everyone could spend this rare day off.

Everyone ordered their own meal, and Jinlang specially ordered a melon parfait for McQueen, who hadn't said a word. When the staff brought all the desserts to the group, Jinlang also presented the melon parfait to McQueen.

"McQueen, eat up. You seem to like melon parfaits the most, don't you?"

"Trainer...I...I think I'd better not eat it..."

At this moment, McQueen realized he had made a huge mistake and was utterly ashamed. Under everyone's gaze, McQueen silently pushed the melon parfait back to Jin Lang, saying softly:

"I've eaten enough today, trainer. I... really have no reason to eat any more sweets."

Despite saying that, everyone present noticed McQueen's obvious hesitation as he swallowed.

For a moment, Jinlang, the Emperor of the East Sea, and the Golden Ship exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of mockery in the other's eyes. They quickly realized what they should do, and it was the Golden Ship who stood up and spoke first:

"In that case, let's just throw this melon parfait away. I remember there's a little cat on this street that really likes sweets..."

"Ah, don't waste it, Golden Ship-san! I don't mind having another melon parfait~" The East Sea Emperor grinned mischievously and raised his hand immediately. At this moment, Megumi McQueen finally couldn't remain calm and suddenly raised his head, saying:

"Don't waste sweets!"

However, as soon as McQueen said this, he met the smirking Golden Ship and the Emperor of the East Sea. She immediately realized that she had been exposed again and let out a whine like a small animal as she sat back down in her seat.

"—Alright, McQueen, eat now."

"It's okay to relax once in a while. I forgot to pay attention to your mental stress before. Speaking of which, I should ask for your forgiveness. I kept forgetting to pay attention to my role as a racehorse girl."

Jin Lang also wore a subtle smile. He didn't laugh at McQueen. In his eyes, it was just three children from the next generation playing around. As an old man, he naturally had to maintain the composure of an elder and not get involved.

Moreover, he really enjoyed watching the children tease each other, which always made him feel nostalgic for his own youth... Ah, he felt like he was young now?

Jin Lang subconsciously looked at his palms, which were completely different from the skin he remembered that was as old as tree bark. They could really be described as that of a pretty boy.

However, given Jin Lang's age and mental state, suddenly being given a young body, he really didn't know what to do. The elderly have a very stable mindset and are not easily impulsive, largely not because they have a better temper, but because they are afraid of getting too angry and causing trouble...

Jin Lang shook his head slightly, banishing these thoughts from his mind, and pushed the melon parfait back in front of McQueen, saying softly:

"Don't feel guilty, McQueen. Eat without worry. The training after you finish eating... that's a matter for later. Don't worry about it."

"..."

However, after receiving Jin Lang's approval and with the encouraging gazes of the East Sea Emperor and the Golden Ship around him, McQueen hesitated before picking up the spoon, taking a small spoonful, and putting it into his cherry-like mouth.

After a long silence, McQueen remained silent. The prolonged silence made Jin Lang feel uneasy, so he couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"

"……Do not."

Suddenly, everyone heard McQueen's choked voice. Before anyone knew it, two tears streamed down the face of the girl from the Mejiro family. She smiled warmly, but couldn't control her tears, and said with a smile:

"It's so delicious... that I don't want to eat it so quickly..."

"Thank you, trainer. You are so tolerant of my imperfections and willing to cover up my mistakes... I really don't know how to thank you."

McQueen wasn't stupid; she knew exactly what had happened. If Jin Lang had really gotten angry and yelled at her, the whole thing would have been the talk of the town at Tressen Academy. The news that "Megiro McQueen lost control and ate sweets in the cafeteria, and was caught and scolded by his trainer" would have spread throughout Tressen Academy and even to the Megiro family.

In this terrible situation, Lang protected McQueen's last bit of pitiful dignity, turning it all into a trivial matter of a gluttonous racehorse girl. At most, McQueen would be ridiculed for his "sweet tooth," without any reputational damage.

“None of us are perfect, McQueen. Everyone has their own hobbies and little quirks. As a trainer, my job is to tolerate your little quirks, help you adjust, and do my best to ensure that they don’t affect you. That’s what we trainers do.”

Jin Lang patted McQueen's head without any hesitation, just like an elder patting a junior's head and discussing the principles of life with her. Emperor, golden ship, even McQueen himself didn't react.

When McQueen finally realized what was happening, his expression gradually relaxed from its initial stiffness, and he even seemed to enjoy the warmth and acceptance of that moment.

Yes, this feeling of being embraced... McQueen had never felt this from anyone else before. It was a very different feeling from the care his sisters gave him.

Since she could remember, McQueen had set her goals and taken on the duties and objectives of the Mejiro family's racehorse girl. She rarely had the opportunity to indulge in warmth or show her vulnerable side.

All she remembered was that she was a racehorse girl of the Mejiro family, and she had to maintain the elegance of a racehorse girl of the Mejiro family. No matter where she was or who she was facing, she could not lose her composure.

But it's impossible for people to stay strong all the time. People always need a sanctuary, a place where they can show their vulnerability and soft side...

“McQueen, you don’t need to always show your strong side. With the trainer—with me—you can act like an emperor and be a little more affectionate. I don’t mind.”

"Hey, trainer~" the Empress said with some dissatisfaction, but the smile between her brows clearly showed that she also agreed with Jin Lang's words of advice to McQueen.

"May I...?"

McQueen smiled slightly upon hearing this, looked at the melon parfait in front of him, and after a long while, he hesitantly raised his hand and asked uneasily:

"Well, trainer, one melon parfait a week... is that alright?"

"Of course, McQueen. There's nothing wrong with liking to eat, but of course, you need to control the amount you consume." Jin Lang smiled gently and nodded. He readily agreed to McQueen's request.

When the current wave agreed to McQueen's request, McQueen was visibly taken aback for a moment, but soon a bright smile appeared on her face, as radiant as the sun—a genuine smile from a racehorse girl named "Mejiro McQueen," mixed with a touch of shyness, warm and without feigned strength.

Beside Jin Lang, the Golden Ship watched this scene with a gentle expression, then cautiously patted its chest and whispered with lingering fear:

"So this matter is over... thank goodness... the old man didn't pursue my mistake too deeply..."

However, what Golden Ship doesn't know is that a week later, Megumi McQueen, due to two consecutive days of overeating, once again showed signs of being overweight, and Megumi McQueen also "got his wish" and received the long-awaited intensive training from Jinlang.

As for the Golden Ship... she also "voluntarily" joined the extra training group with McQueen under Jin Lang's gentle smile. It's truly a cause for celebration.

Chapter 133: The New Trainer Requested by the Senior?

Some time later, at the gate of Treson Academy, Ms. Tsuna, as always, was wearing her green work uniform and standing outside the gate guarding the entrance to Treson Academy—this was one of her jobs.

Although most of the racehorse girls and trainers at Treson Academy prefer to stay overnight in the dormitory, some children and trainers inevitably have to do things outside and can't make it back in time. Therefore, every morning, Tsuna Sugikawa waits here for those children who return late.

"However, none of the children seemed to have stayed outside the school yesterday, and today looks like a normal day as well."

Junkawa Tessuna thought to himself, feeling that life at Treson Academy was becoming more and more peaceful. After the waves of excitement caused by their three incredibly talented trainers a month or two ago, Treson Academy had finally returned to its usual tranquility. Junkawa Tessuna even felt a little disappointed.

After all, the school hasn't been this lively for a long time. Although there are noteworthy "prodigies" every year, Treson Academy hasn't made any big waves in a long time.

The last time the school was this lively seemed to be when that "monster" from the countryside, Oguri Hat, caused such a craze, right? Surugawa Tezuna thought to himself.

"The kids at the school are getting more and more talented. I wonder if we'll get a triple crown racehorse girl this year~" Tsuna murmured to herself with a smile. She was very optimistic about the kids under the three new trainers. She felt that they might be the most promising kids in the next few years.

"It's almost time to close the school gates."

Junkawa Tsuna checked the time and stepped forward to close the iron gate again, but at that moment, a taxi happened to slowly stop at the gate of Treson Academy.

Junkawa Tezuna paused slightly, and at that moment, a dashing woman stepped out of the taxi. She had short, flowing hair, but strangely, most of her hair was golden, while the ends were black.

The woman looked quite young, around 27 or 8 years old. She was at an age where her mature charm was just beginning to emerge. Her smart suit gave her a very sophisticated urban look. However, the competence, confidence, and maturity she exuded were completely inconsistent with her apparent age.

When the person got out of the car, even Junkawa Tessuna was slightly taken aback. She obviously did not expect to see the other person again, to see... this trainer who could once be called the pride of Treson Academy.
