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

Of course, Fumino Naze also wanted to continue working as a trainer, but she always felt that she might still be lacking something. Therefore, during this time, she had been honing her skills as a trainer and even studying the advanced techniques of foreign trainers, hoping to improve herself.

But now, Fumino Naze realizes that what she lacks may not be theory, but "practice." As a trainer, she cannot stand still; if she wants to become a trainer, she must better understand what an excellent trainer should do.

Coincidentally, the three trainers in this team represent three different styles of trainers, but without exception, they all demonstrate the true essence of being an "excellent trainer."

That's why Fumino Naze was willing to stay here; she wanted to know where she was still lacking to become a truly excellent trainer.

As for using the knowledge she had painstakingly researched as a bargaining chip in exchange... Fumino felt that it was very fair.

But at least for now, she is still working as an assistant in Wada's team. She plans to take it one step at a time, starting with Wada, who is ranked third, then Ikezoe, and finally Imanami-senpai. She believes that once she has mastered the characteristics and methods of the three trainers, she will be able to become the best trainer.

As for Wada... he's currently incredibly busy, having unexpectedly become the male trainer for the entire central region, to the point that he's become the "public enemy" of some horse racing fans. Wada is now scrambling to manage his interpersonal relationships and try to salvage his reputation...

And so another week passed quickly, and it was time for the weekly private lesson that Ikezoe and Maruzensky had agreed upon.

"Kallen, Orpheus, you two should rest today. I'm going out for a bit."

"Oh, take care, Ikezoe."

"Be careful on the road, Onii-chan~"

Chi Tian bid farewell to the Golden Master and the True Clever One. Today's farewell went exceptionally smoothly, to the point that it surprised Chi Tian. Neither the Golden Master nor the True Clever One bothered him or tried to be affectionate, leaving Chi Tian, ​​who had prepared his lines, somewhat unprepared.

However, this actually saved Chi Tian some effort. He happily walked towards the gate of Treson Academy. But as soon as he walked away, the smiles of the Golden Master and Zhen Jiling both slowed down and gradually became serious.

"...That guy Ikezoe is definitely hiding something from us." The Gold Master chewed on his candy and muttered to himself, but the suspicion and anger in his tone made people feel uneasy.

"Hehe, as expected, you sensed it too, Master!" Zhen Jiling smiled and nodded, her gaze fixed on the direction Chi Tian had left, and said with a grin:

"Since last week, Karen-chan has felt that Onii-chan is acting a little strange. When Onii-chan came back, he was too excited. He didn't seem like he had gone to the branch school and talked with Representative Senpai at all."

"Moreover, I remember that day, Onii-chan had a very strong perfume scent on him. If I remember correctly, it was a very classic Uma Musume Pretty Derby perfume brand."

"...You mean, that guy Ikezoe was meeting with other racehorse girls behind our backs?"

However, Zhen Jiling's words made the Gold Master's eyes narrow slightly. For some reason, the thought of this possibility made the ferocity in the Gold Master's eyes intensify, and he even smacked his lips slightly in displeasure.

"This guy is really ungrateful. He already has two racehorse girls in the team, and he's still out with other racehorse girls?"

"But I don't think anyone in my family uses perfume, so it definitely isn't from our family... Otherwise, if I found out, I'd definitely beat them up..."

However, halfway through her speech, the Golden Master's originally fierce tone suddenly softened, because she suddenly realized that she was no match for anyone in the Golden Family and could only be the one who got hammered.

But even against other racehorse girls, she would most likely lose to the Golden Master. She's quite powerful when it comes to running, but she's really not good at fighting...

"So let's go see, Master, let's see who Onii-chan is with?" Seeing that Master Gold also had this idea, Makoto's big eyes darted around and she immediately decided to take Master Gold with her.

It's always better to have someone help than to go alone, and in a crucial moment, Zhenjiling thinks he can also use the Golden Master to cover for him, since the Golden Master isn't very bright and should be easy to fool...

"Follow them...stalk them? Wouldn't that be inappropriate?" The Gold Master was also a little hesitant upon hearing this; she had never done anything like this before...

"It's okay. Onii-chan is so oblivious, he definitely won't notice us. Besides, we don't necessarily have to be this close to Onii-chan."

As she said this, Makoto held up her phone and said with a smile, "I installed a location tracking app on Onii-chan's phone yesterday. Knowing Onii-chan's personality, he definitely didn't turn it off. We just need to follow the navigation to find out where Onii-chan went."

"...In a way, you're really scary, so clever."

Upon hearing this, the Gold Master shuddered with lingering fear, but still pulled his mask up and muttered, "Then I'll go take a look, but, just take a look."

"I don't care who Ikezoe is with, I just don't want my trainer hanging out with shady horse girls..."

"Alright, alright." Zhen Jiling smiled slightly, already fully aware of the Golden Master's explanation.

After Zhenjiling and the Golden Master left, two heads suddenly peeked out from a patch of grass. Two racehorse girls, completely hidden, were seen. One of them said to the racehorse girl beside her:

"Golden Ship, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to follow them like this? And why did you suddenly decide to follow the Master and the Clever One?"

"Why... because I'm really curious about how things are going between Master Sister and Trainer Ikezoe. And as long as I'm here, Trainer Ikezoe shouldn't be in any danger."

"But McQueen, why did you come along? I thought you weren't coming."

"I... I was just curious... After all, trainer Ikezoe and trainer Ijinami are on the same team. If something happens, it will affect trainer Ijinami's reputation."

McQueen also coughed upon hearing this. In fact, she was also very curious about the relationship between the Gold Master and Trainer Ikezoe.

Perhaps only the Golden Master and Ikezoe are unaware of this. However, in the eyes of others, the relationship between the Golden Master and Ikezoe is similar to that between the undisguised Wada and the Good Opera, but with a touch more mystery.

No one knew exactly how far things had progressed in their relationship, so to satisfy their curiosity, even McQueen followed along this time, wanting to find out for himself.

After all, she might have to pursue someone suitable in the future to continue the family bloodline, and McQueen wanted to learn in advance what dating is like.

Chapter 144: The Tracking Team's Number Doubles

McQueen and Golden Ship each had their own thoughts. Golden Ship wanted to gossip, but McQueen also wanted to satisfy his curiosity about love while gossiping. As someone who had been confined to Mejiro Ranch for many years, and who rarely saw his fellow racehorse girls or even had beautiful maids as servants, McQueen rarely had any romantic experiences with the opposite sex.

The people of the opposite sex she probably sees most often are those watching baseball players on TV... but that has nothing to do with romance, and McQueen wouldn't tell anyone that she, the horse girl from the prestigious Mejiro family, actually likes baseball...

McQueen, of course, would not forget the other mission entrusted to him by his grandmother in addition to the mission of winning the Emperor's Prize. As one of the most likely racehorse girls in the entire Mejiro family to win the Emperor's Prize, Mejiro McQueen's genes were reserved from the very beginning.

But McQueen would never go through any so-called "political marriage." On the one hand, they were just racehorse girls on a ranch, far from being involved in politics. On the other hand... even if it were a matchmaking arrangement, McQueen would be very averse to it.

Madam Meguro would never allow the Meguro family's children to go on blind dates.

McQueen was well aware that his grandmother was giving him time to choose the person he liked. Therefore, the time he spent at Treson Academy was three years in which McQueen planned for his future.

However, McQueen knew nothing about love, and she couldn't possibly consult the other racehorses in the team.

Nutao? Although McQueen could tell that she liked Trainer Hetian, Nutao herself wasn't quite sure about it, so asking would be pointless.

A good opera? She has a clear goal, but she is highly offensive and defensive, and has no resistance to trainer Hetian. It can be said that they are mutually attracted. Instead of asking her, you should ask Qingyun Tiankong. McQueen felt that the result would be about the same.

The Clever One seemed quite skilled, but McQueen worried that if he consulted him, news of his own affairs would soon spread like wildfire. The Golden Master was essentially the same, and McQueen didn't think the Golden Master was significantly better than him in this area.

As for the East Sea Emperor... a horse girl who treats love like a derby, McQueen doesn't expect her to be of any help to him.

Therefore, this time, she came with the Golden Ship. Of course, she didn't come to disturb the Golden Master and the Clever One. She just came to learn and see what it should be like for a racehorse girl in love.

Is it really like in those novels, where your heart pounds wildly, or your cheeks flush red as you run away...?

"They've caught up, let's follow behind."

"Okay, let's go."

Just as McQueen and the Golden Ship left, the East Sea Emperor, holding an extra-large cup of honey drink, poked his head out from behind the two women and smiled at Jin Lang beside him:

"Hehe, just as I said, didn't I? McQueen and the Golden Ship were doing something so fun behind our backs! How could I, the invincible Emperor, miss out?"

"Trainers, we're almost there! We don't know what McQueen and the Golden Ship are planning, but how can we miss out on something like this?"

"Okay, okay." Jin Lang nodded with a smile. He had been dragged here by the Emperor of the East Sea, but since it was a day off, he wasn't very busy and it was fine to occasionally play around with the kids.

Moreover, it's good that he came along. He can stop some of the overly provocative remarks from the gold ship. If he's there, the situation is unlikely to get out of control.

Incidentally... actually, the old man was also very curious about what kind of sparks would fly between the Golden Master and the True Cleverness of this world, which had become a racehorse girl, and his own descendant with a suffering constitution.

Having said that, Jin Lang followed the Emperor of the East Sea, and in the footsteps of the golden ship and McQueen. However, they did not notice that behind them, three equally curious figures were slowly following.

However, they didn't intend to expose themselves like that. Instead, they curiously followed them. For a moment, perhaps only Naze Fumino, who had only recently joined the team, remained at her post...

……

"Hi, my dear junior, you made it out safely today too~"

A short distance outside the gates of Tresson School, Maruzensky was waiting for Ikezoe to appear, just like last week. When he saw Ikezoe's face, Maruzensky, wearing sunglasses, caught sight of several figures quickly hiding behind him.

Maruzen was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and looked at Ikezoe, who hadn't noticed anything, with a playful smile, and said:

"Junior, you really have worked very hard."

"? Maruzen-senpai, what are you saying?" Ikezoe had no idea what Maruzen-sensei meant by that, but Maruzen-sensei kindly reminded her:

“It must be very difficult to be a trainer if there are a few clingy children. One child who likes to act cute is fine, but two children who like to act cute are a real challenge.”

"Ah... well, I think in my team, only Kallen is a bit clingy. Orpheus doesn't stick to me at all."

Hearing this, Ikezoe felt a deep empathy and said, after getting into the passenger seat of the sports car and fastening his seatbelt, he addressed Maruzensky:

"Orphie's attitude towards me has been rather subtle lately. Although I'm glad that she doesn't seem as timid as usual when she's with other people, her attitude towards me is really... getting worse every day."

Since her victory at the Hakodate Racecourse that day, the Golden Master has indeed become much more confident than usual. Perhaps it's because she has finally learned how to control her aura? At this moment, she has finally established herself firmly in the team and has finally realized that she does indeed have this talent.

But perhaps after awakening this talent, a part of his personality also came along with it. The Gold Master, who was not exactly gentle with Ikezoe but would occasionally show vulnerability and dependence, began to become increasingly irritable.

She's started to become uncooperative during training. Chi Tian used to be able to get close to the Golden Master, but lately, whenever she gets within about a meter of him, she turns around as if she has eyes in the back of her head, her legs twitching as if she's about to kick him...

And so, Chi Tian never dared to approach the Golden Master again as before. Although his body had hardened, that didn't stop him from being afraid of pain.

"Teacher, do you have any way to help me get along with Orphie? Although I'm very happy that Orphie has recently discovered her talent, it's not a good idea for her to be so disobedient."

"Well, hehe, this isn't something I, your teacher, should worry about. It's your problem, junior."

"—But, teacher, I think that if a racehorse girl really treats you badly, but never leaves your team and seems very concerned about you, she definitely doesn't mean she dislikes you."

"Because if she really disliked you, she would definitely be indifferent to you."

As he said this, Maru Zenki glanced at the two racehorse girls hiding around the wall near the school gate, a gossipy smile appearing on his face.

"Alright, my dear junior, hold on tight now, I'm about to speed up!"

"call--!"

Before Ikezoe could react, Maruzensky stepped on the gas, propelling his supercar forward at an astonishing speed. The next moment, the Golden Master and Shinjiro emerged from the car.

"Damn it—Maru Zenki! Why did it have to be this guy?!"

Watching Ikezoe and Maruzensky drive away in their supercars, the Gold Master was furious. However, before Maki-rei could speak, the Gold Master assumed a running stance and said to her:

"You're so clever! Let's hurry and catch up! We're racing against time now!"

"Huh?! Wait a minute—"

However, before Zhen Jiling could even speak, the Golden Master had already dashed out like a gust of wind, and Zhen Jiling reluctantly lowered her outstretched hand, saying with a helpless expression:

"Kallen-chan, I'm just a sprinter racer... and didn't I already say I have a target? I can just follow it slowly, right?"

Makoto watched the Golden Master race away and sighed helplessly. She could only hope that the Golden Master's stamina, that of a long-distance racer, would last until she caught up with Maruzen and Onii-chan.

As for her... she's just a short-distance racehorse girl, so of course we can't chase after her. We should wait until the coordinates are stable and then call a taxi to take her there.

Chapter 145: Ennis the Wind God: Is there not a single normal person on this team?

A car can travel several kilometers in a few minutes under unobstructed conditions, and Uma Musume can undoubtedly do the same. Moreover, with the existence of "Uma Musume-only tracks" in this world, Uma Musume can also freely traverse various streets to avoid traffic accidents.

However, the reason why cars have not been eliminated in this world is not because this world is not the kind of otherworld where aliens are enslaved, but because the unique long-distance mobility of cars is enough to make even these horse girls who are good at long distances fear them.
