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

However, the words of the opera singer made Wada pause slightly. He was quite familiar with the name of this horse racer, because she was the horse racer who competed with Oguri Hat and even once tied Oguri Hat's name.

What is not widely known is that Wada is actually a fan of Oguri Hat, and a large part of the reason why he is so focused on horse racing is due to the influence of this "idol-level horse racing".

Wada's biggest regret in life was that he could never ride Oguri Hat. However, after time-traveling, he also saw Oguri Hat in the form of a horse racer. What neither Good Opera nor Raging Waves knew was that Wada even asked Oguri Hat for her autograph. The page with Oguri Hat's signature was framed by Wada and he planned to keep it as a family heirloom.

That's a bit of a tangent, but the reason Hotan is so sensitive to the name "Super Little Bay" isn't because of Oguri Hat, but because of the riders at Super Little Bay...

If, if Hotan remembers correctly, the rider of Super Small Bay, it seems to be Wu Feng?

And the woman in front of me named Fumino Naze... is she a trainer from Super Bay?

Thinking this through, Wada, who had become a trainer after being transported from another world, suddenly looked at Nase Fumino with a strange gaze. He stared at the beautiful, somewhat proud, but still approachable woman before him, constantly searching for any resemblance between her and the Taketoyo he remembered…

— Absolutely not found.

Wada couldn't help but recall his first encounter with Wu Feng, which left a very deep impression on him. At that time, Wu Feng was in his prime, had achieved fame at a young age, and was in the rising period of his career. He should have been forging ahead without hesitation, but suddenly Wada, riding the "dark horse" of good opera, appeared, and the two later had many grudges and entanglements.

The private relationship between Wada and Takefuyoshi is also a topic of much discussion. However, for Wada, who entered the Central Academy of Drama through his excellent operas and was both self-conscious and introverted, competing with a prodigy like Takefuyoshi who became famous at a young age was undoubtedly a huge pressure.

They were both young at that time. Wu Feng may not have been as good-looking as He Tian, ​​but his confident and youthful arrogance left a deep first impression on He Tian.

This might be the only thing that Taketoyo and the young lady named Naise Fumino in front of him had in common... At this moment, Wada simply couldn't connect Fumino with Taketoyo, after all, even if there really was a female version of Taketoyo in this world...

Wada didn't want to be so rude, but he didn't think that Wu Feng could become so good-looking after being feminized.

Thinking this way, Wada realized that his idea must be wrong, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't even know how he got along with Wu Feng, let alone a feminized Wu Feng... He didn't even dare to think about it.

"Hello, Ms. Fumino Nase, I am Ryuji Wada. It's nice to meet you."

"Hello, Wada trainer. I'm aware of your and your two racehorse girls' results. I must say, your combination has given me a pleasant surprise."

Of course, Fumino Naze had no idea what kind of drama Wada had been playing out in his mind just now. Since she had a good first impression of Wada, she naturally went up and shook hands with him to show her friendliness.

However, the moment their hands touched, a discordant voice from the side startled them slightly.

"Tsk." For some reason, the opera singer smacked her lips in displeasure the moment she saw their hands touch, but she was soon surprised at her own reaction.

"Don't be surprised. On the contrary, if you didn't do this, I would feel like you weren't me."

However, the floating "Good Opera" offered a rare moment of comfort. Seeing this, Good Opera slightly raised its head and asked with some surprise:

"Why? Another me? What do you know?"

"...I'm not entirely sure right now, but I rarely feel this kind of unpleasantness."

However, "Good Opera" also shook her head, not immediately drawing a conclusion. But at that moment, the hostility towards Fumino Nase that she revealed in her eyes was genuine.

There aren't many things that can make "good opera" show hostility, and in her memory, there are only a few people who can make her, who has these memories, feel such disgust.

"Good Opera" naturally thought of the kind of answer that Wada could think of at this moment, but like Wada, she was not sure about her own idea.

—If it really is Wu Feng, even if he really turned into a woman, how could he become so beautiful?

It must be an illusion, a complete illusion. "Good Opera" nodded firmly, setting aside his thought for the time being.

Chapter 136: The Super Cove and Fumino Nase

“Ms. Fumino Naise, although I would like to say that I welcome you and am very willing to accept the so-called assessment... I really don’t know, Treson Academy does not seem to have sent me any relevant information about the assistant.”

After a brief introduction to Fumino Naze, Wada quickly realized the true nature of the matter. He had never said he wanted to find an assistant, nor had he ever asked any "senior" to teach him anything.

Wada has been studying all along, but he has never asked anyone for help. He hasn't even bothered his senior, Jinlang, because he knows everyone is busy. Therefore, he studies on his own, stealing moments from his busy schedule.

Wada had never bothered anyone with this kind of request before. Why would such a talented and beautiful female trainer suddenly come to his door wanting to be his assistant and teach him professional knowledge? This isn't a light novel world where a beautiful girl suddenly appears beside me...

“You don’t need to ask about that. Senior doesn’t want me to reveal her personal information.” Fumino had obviously thought of this as well, and said to Wada, “But perhaps you can ask your companion, that trainer named Kenichi Ikezoe. It was he who asked Senior for help, and that’s why Senior asked me to come here specifically.”

"Ikezoe-kun?" Wada raised an eyebrow slightly, and the thought that it was Ikezoe's arrangement immediately put him at ease.

At least Ikezoe wouldn't harm him; Wada was very confident of that. Thinking about how he had specifically asked a senior to help him with his studies, Wada felt truly grateful.

"Looks like I'll have to treat Ikezoe-kun to a meal," Wada thought to himself.

"Since it was arranged by Mr. Ikezoe, then thank you, Ms. Nase. But what were you referring to as the assessment you mentioned earlier?"

“Of course, it’s your ability as a trainer.” Naze Fumino said matter-of-factly, “I will assess your abilities, and if you do not meet my requirements, I will have to refuse even if it is a request from a senior.”

"I will not assist a trainer who only wins races by relying on excellent racehorse girls. That is my bottom line. So, Trainer Wada, you are not the trainer I am talking about who only wins by relying on excellent racehorse girls, are you?"

However, what Naze Fumino said was perfectly reasonable and did not specifically attack Wada. After all, in her guess, a trainer who could win races by relying solely on good racehorse girls might be able to pass the Satsuki Sho smoothly, but the Japanese Derby, which requires the most luck, is not something a rookie trainer can win by luck alone.

This is why she was willing to test Wada, because Wada's excellent opera won both the Satsuki Award and the Japanese Derby. If it had been any earlier, with only the Satsuki Award, Fumino wouldn't have come so quickly—she would have at least waited for the results of the Japanese Derby.

However, Fumino's words unintentionally dealt an area-of-effect (AOE) damage. In an instant, the statement "winning the race by relying solely on horse girls" deeply stung Wada's young heart.

This sounds just like what Wu Feng said when he was young... Wada shook his head with a bitter expression. Back then, he was the kind of trainer that Naze Fumino looked down on the most. If he hadn't transmigrated, he really wouldn't have had any room for rebuttal.

However, this unintentional slip of the tongue by Naze Fumino caused Nutao and Good Opera to change their expressions slightly. Perhaps Fumino didn't specifically mean anyone, but saying this in front of their trainer would undoubtedly be misunderstood as a provocation.

"Trainer, trainers don't win solely by relying on racehorses!"

Nu Tao was even more anxious than Hao Geju. He stood up and turned his horse ears upside down, saying indignantly, "Without the trainer, I would never have been able to beat Hao Geju in the Daily Cup. I won't allow you to look down on the trainer!"

"Hahahaha! Even a magnanimous tyrant like me couldn't ignore what you just said, Trainer Naise Fumino~"

Good Opera also stood up, using exaggerated acting to cover up his inner impulse, and said to Fumino in a relatively polite manner: "With luck alone, even I, the Overlord, could not win the Satsuki Prize and the Japanese Derby. Ryuji is my most trusted retainer. He is not only a trainer with vision, but also a capable minister who is worthy of assisting me, the Overlord, in conquering all directions."

"He may look young and inexperienced, but his abilities are absolutely not to be questioned. Trainer Fumino Naze, please be careful with your words in front of me, the Overlord."

"...That's true, I was presumptuous, I'm sorry."

Fumino was taken aback by how strongly Wada's two racehorse girls defended their trainer's abilities and reputation. However, she quickly and earnestly apologized to Wada.

Although she was slightly hostile to the two horse racers from Wada, Fumino was very satisfied with the reactions of Good Opera and Raging Waves.

When her trainer was questioned, Wada immediately stood up to defend his reputation. This shows that he is very much loved by his assigned racehorse. It is unlikely that a trainer who jeopardizes the future of his assigned racehorse would be so beloved.

The racehorse girls aren't fools; they're well aware of their trainers' abilities.

Seeing how anxious and agitated Nutao and Haogeju were, Fumino smiled slightly, recalling that she once had a horse girl who defended her in the same way.

It was as if it were a fateful encounter. On their very first meeting, Fumino met the horse girl she would never forget, and the horse even chose her... This experience was nothing short of extraordinary for Fumino, and a time she could never forget...

However, at this moment, Fumino, who was reminiscing about the past, did not notice the slight change in the expressions of Wada, Good Opera, and Ryuu – because behind Fumino, a mature racehorse girl with a figure that was in no way inferior to Ryuu was slowly approaching Fumino, who had her back to her, with an undisguised smile on her face.

"Ta-da! Trainer~ Long time no see~~"

Finally, the voluptuous racehorse girl couldn't contain her emotions any longer and very proactively hugged Fumino, who hadn't noticed anything, from behind, her face beaming with an incredibly bright and joyful smile.

After feeling the heavy weight and familiar softness behind her, Fumino was slightly surprised for a moment, but her expression quickly changed from shock to a gentle smile, and she said reproachfully:

"Little Bay...it's been so long."

"Seriously, trainer, you should have told me when you came back. I'm supposed to be your designated racehorse girl, aren't I?"

The racehorse girl, nicknamed "Little Bay," snuggled up affectionately against Fumino Nase, thoroughly enjoying her long-awaited reunion with her trainer. Little Bay couldn't help but ask:

"Trainer, are you planning to stay at Treson Academy for an extended period this time?"

"Ah... not necessarily, but I think there's a high probability I'll stay for a while." Seeing that Xiaohaiwan had also let go of her arms around her waist, Fumino turned around and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Xiaohaiwan, I won't leave anytime soon this time. Let's spend some time together, just like before."

"That's great, trainer." Little Bay smiled slightly and took her trainer's hand, then noticed Wada and his group. Without being shy, she greeted Wada with a reserved air:

“Trainer Wada, is this our first time meeting? I am Super Little Bay, and this is my trainer. You two have already met, right?”

"Ah...yes, nice to meet you, Super Little Bay." Wada was momentarily speechless, but after shaking hands with Little Bay, he forced a strange expression and cautiously asked:

"Um, Miss Super Little Bay, may I ask a rather private question?"

"Ok?"

"Um... how did you and Trainer Fumino meet?"

"Ah, this is truly a wonderful experience." Super Little Bay smiled slightly upon hearing this and explained to Wada without any hesitation:

"It's a long story. At the time, I thought my legs were weak and I was just an ordinary racehorse girl, but the trainer discovered me and selected me."

"Actually, it was Xiaohaiwan who chose me back then. I just discovered that Xiaohaiwan's talents were more than that." Naze Fumino waved her hand when she heard this. When talking about Xiaohaiwan, her expression was very gentle, but she did not notice Wada's increasingly strange expression at all.

At that moment, when Naze Fumino said, "It was the little bay that chose me," Wada's expression was completely numb, because his guess was confirmed the moment Naze Fumino said those words.

This woman is actually Wu Feng's gender-swapped form in this world?!

Chapter 137: Hotan: Wufeng, your feminization is quite erotic.

Although Hetian was not a rider who debuted in the same era as Wufeng, he had already heard a lot about Wufeng's early success when he was still learning.

Takeyuki has always been hailed by the central and local media as a "rare Japanese genius rider." Unlike Wada, who is now considered "mediocre," Takeyuki is one of the few genius riders who showed his talent from the very beginning. Originally, he shouldn't have been someone that a rider of average talent like Wada could have known.

However, the fate of the world is so dramatic. People who thought they would never have anything to do with each other in their lives, but the "mediocre rider" Wada, who was good at opera, had more than one encounter with this young and talented rider. The grudges between them were so complicated that even they themselves could not explain them.

But to say that Hetian hated Wufeng that much... that's not quite right. More than a decade has passed, and all the scars and wounds have been washed away by the river of time.

However, it's impossible to say that Wada truly harbored no resentment. The events of that year are still vivid in his mind, and although the two maintain a very good relationship in public, there are still lingering grudges between them in private.

It's not as rigid as you might think. After all, everyone sees each other all the time, and there are only so many riders in the entire central government. No one can say that their relationship with each other is necessarily very good. As for the conflict between "mediocre riders" and "genius riders," it's just one of the topics that people like to talk about.

If, and I mean if, Wu Feng had been among those who traveled with them back then, given the current harmonious relationship among the trio, Wu Feng would undoubtedly have become a member of the "time-traveling family." Just imagining that scene made me feel awkward.

Especially in this world, when Wada encounters another great opera, and Takefuyo doesn't know what kind of horse racer he'll meet again, and the two are about to compete on the same stage...

Therefore, Wada was actually quite glad that Wu Feng was not involved in this journey. He had never thought that he would encounter a native Wu Feng in this world—after all, none of them had a native image in this world.

But today, as Wada looked at the affectionate Naise Fumino and the super little bay in front of him, he was completely numb, because his worst thought deep down had been confirmed at this moment.

A genius trainer, a super small bay, a reverse journey, and that slightly arrogant temperament unique to youthful arrogance—even though Naze Fumino has a completely different name now, her appearance has been optimized countless times, and even though her chest is standing up extremely proudly, Wada is still certain that this is the "Wufeng" of this world.

Wu Feng, if you could hear me in your original world, then I must tell you something from the bottom of my heart…

—After you became feminized, you became quite alluring.

Wada muttered this to himself, but his mindset gradually recovered from the initial numbness. Looking at the beautiful face of Naze Fumino in front of him, and her proud and upright chest, Wada couldn't help but chuckle for no reason.

"...What's wrong? Trainer Wada, your expression suddenly looks strange."

"It's nothing, sorry. I was just thinking about the relationship between Miss Kobayashi and Trainer Naise. It's really—quite beautiful."

It took Wada quite a while to finally calm himself down from wanting to laugh, but he couldn't bring himself to meet Naise Fumino's gaze—he was afraid that if he looked at Naise Fumino's face, he would burst out laughing.

This time, not only Fumino Naze and Kobayashi felt something was off, but even the two racehorse girls, Ryuu and Kogeki, began to feel that their trainers' expressions were a bit strange.

The trainer doesn't seem like the type to be so rude in this kind of situation, so why is his reaction so different this time? Nutao and Haogeju exchanged a glance, both unsure of the reason, but they knew that the root of all this was definitely not Wada himself, but Nase Fumino.

So, they all turned their attention to Fumino Nase, to her face, which, even by Uma Musume standards, would be considered that of a great beauty, and her figure, which was better than most people's. They also thought of Wada's awkward reaction...
