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

"As the overlord, I never intended to hand over victory to others, but I also have my own goals."

"...I understand. Don't worry, I still have some influence. I can help you get a few spots in the competition."

Chapter Thirteen: You two fat steeds!

Early the next morning, no one knew what had happened the night before except for a few people involved. Among the group of racehorse girls who started their morning exercise, a few particularly eye-catching figures arrived at a secluded corner of Treson Academy.

"Hey, McQueen, what's wrong with you today? Why are you suddenly acting so fierce?"

The morning exercise had just begun at six o'clock when the Golden Ship, which had been dragged out by Megumi McQueen, looked as if it hadn't even woken up yet. Accompanying the Golden Ship was a racehorse girl named Ikuno Didos, who had a similar figure to McQueen but looked taller, wore glasses and had a rather intellectual air.

She is Megumi McQueen's roommate, and they have a very good relationship. She is also one of the most trustworthy friends in Megumi McQueen's current "plan".

"Mr. McQueen, although I don't know if it's because your debut battle is imminent that you've become anxious, I have to say that this is not worth it."

Ikuno Didos adjusted his glasses and said very calmly and solemnly, "I wholeheartedly support your weight loss plan, McQueen, but I do not accept methods that damage one's health in order to lose weight."

"Successful and healthy weight loss requires a combination of scientific methods for body conditioning, exercise, and diet control. However, even if your method, Mr. McQueen, is immediately effective, it puts too much strain on your body."

"McQueen, your debut competition is just around the corner. At this time, if you take such a harmful weight loss method, even if you succeed, you won't be able to compete at your best."

However, faced with her friend's earnest advice, Megumi McQueen was clearly hesitant, but she quickly made a decision.

"Don't try to persuade me anymore, Didus, I've already made up my mind."

"Although I'm very unwilling, if I want to make it to the debut competition, my current speed is not enough. I have to manage my body to a perfect level."

"Eating a little less is no big deal for me. I am the Mejiro family's racehorse girl, and I bear the pride of the Mejiro family's prestigious lineage!"

"Alright, now, Golden Ship, please lie down. The 100th time is about to begin!"

Without a word, Megumi McQueen suppressed the intense hunger in his stomach and focused all his mind and body on the "honor of the Megumi family." He dragged his body and leaped over the lying golden ship.

This is a training method that Megumi McQueen specially tailored for himself. It not only achieves the training effect through jumping, but also increases his leg range, enhances his strength and endurance, and more importantly, it is also effective for weight loss!

This was advice given to McQueen by a senior member of the Mejiro family, and McQueen has always regarded it as his savior whenever he "shows signs of gaining weight".

This time, McQueen plans to add more challenges to this training method. She is determined that if she persists, she can control her weight perfectly within ten days to two weeks.

"Bang! Bang!"

"Are you sure it's okay...?" Golden Ship, unusually frightened, closed his eyes, feeling McQueen leaping over his body again and again, and said nervously:

"Why do I have to get involved here? I made a promise with the old man to run 3000 meters for him!"

"...According to McQueen's description, if Golden Ship hadn't been lying here, she wouldn't have felt enough pressure to jump," Ikuno Didos explained professionally, though somewhat embarrassed.

"It's probably a psychological effect, but with the help of this psychological effect, McQueen can indeed perform better than before—so, Golden Ship, I'm sorry, but please help McQueen."

"I only came here to help McQueen lose weight and to see how he wanted to eat sweets but didn't dare to! I didn't hear that I was here to be a cushion!"

However, Golden Ship felt that ever since she and McQueen met the old man yesterday, McQueen's attitude towards her had changed drastically. In the past, McQueen usually didn't take her pranks too seriously, maintaining the demeanor of a Mejiro family celebrity and not getting involved in arguments, thus allowing Golden Ship to do as she pleased.

But since what happened yesterday, Golden Ship has sensed a change in McQueen. He no longer pays attention to Golden Ship's pranks, and doesn't even react when Golden Ship takes all the food off McQueen's plate.

Furthermore, Golden Ship heard that McQueen distributed some of his privately hoarded bread and desserts to the other racehorse girls that very night.

To be honest, Didi, who shared a dorm room with McQueen, knew perfectly well that McQueen was secretly eating snacks when he was extremely hungry in the middle of the night, but he turned a blind eye because he felt sorry for McQueen.

But McQueen's current determination surprised both women. They didn't know what had motivated him to train and lose weight so intensely, but at least for now, it seemed he was overdoing it...

"I really hope someone can stop McQueen... otherwise, he'll just have to give up on his own after a week..." Ikuno Didos was also worried. They'd only done 20, and she already noticed McQueen was panting heavily...

"Huh? Mr. Jinlang, it seems there's already someone here?"

"Oh...really? I...I thought no one was here...I'm sorry..."

Not long after, a young man's voice was heard, along with a seemingly timid-looking racehorse girl. When the young man uttered the word "Jinlang," the Golden Ship immediately reacted, its fear vanishing instantly. It raised its head and asked with delight:

"Old man?"

"Ok?"

The Golden Ship's reaction triggered a chain reaction. Upon hearing the name, McQueen's attention was momentarily diverted, and he subconsciously looked up into the distance.

This seemingly insignificant change caused McQueen's attention to wander, resulting in a much lighter jump.

"boom!"

"Ughh ...

Immediately following was a bloodcurdling scream from the golden ship, the pitiful cry of its back being trampled by heavy horseshoes...

……

"Are you alright, Gold Ship? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Grandpa, you won't feel pain here, and you won't need to see a doctor~"

After some time, and after McQueen frantically apologized to Golden Ship and Jinlang, everything returned to calm. Jinlang stared worriedly at Golden Ship's back, seemingly wanting to lift his shirt to check on his injuries, but Golden Ship smiled and subtly concealed the thought.

Seeing the Golden Ship smiling so brightly, as if the shout from just a few minutes ago hadn't come from her at all, it was hard to imagine that something was really wrong with her, which put everyone's minds at ease.

"Speaking of which, old man, what brings you here? I thought you'd be waiting for me on the playground, and with Hotan, and... Nutao?"

Golden Ship also looked curiously at He Tian and Nu Tao beside Jin Lang. She knew that Nu Tao and He Tian had signed a responsibility agreement, but what were they doing here?

"The reason is actually training, only the training content is different."

Jin Lang found it quite amusing. Just yesterday, He Tian had boasted that he would train the famous general Nu Tao all by himself, but unexpectedly, he was stumped when faced with the first problem and had to lower his head and ask Jin Lang for help.

“Nu Tao is overweight. He’s gained weight since his debut. With this physique, he can’t even perform at his full potential in the Daily Cup or the OP tournament, let alone participate in the Daily Cup Grand Prize. He has to lose weight first before considering training and competition.”

"……well?"

However, upon hearing Jin Lang's words, not only the Golden Ship, but also McQueen and Didoos looked at Raging Waves in surprise. At that moment, the general who did not want others to know about Raging Waves's secret was exposed on the spot, and he hid behind Hetian with a blushing face, letting out a mournful cry like a small animal.

At that very moment, the golden ship spoke without hesitation:

"It's just about losing weight, right? I'm helping McQueen lose weight too! She's way overweight now, even though she's almost ready for her debut—Pfft!"

Before Golden Ship could finish speaking, a shoe inlaid with horseshoes came hurtling towards him! It struck Golden Ship squarely in the cheek, silencing him completely.

"...Cough, cough cough cough!" After doing all this, McQueen coughed a few times, trying to remain calm, and said lightly, "I'm only a little bit overweight. It's a piece of cake for me."

"If you need help, I can help you make a plan."

Now that Lang had helped the golden ship up, he saw that it still had that same carefree, grinning expression, so he shook his head in relief and said to McQueen:

"Helping one is helping one, so I can help both of you lose weight. The results should be pretty good, and you should be able to make it in time for your debut battle without any problems."

"...Please."

However, after a moment of hesitation, McQueen realized that his image in front of Jin Lang had already been exposed. Under the prompting of Ikuno Didos, who was standing to the side, McQueen rolled his eyes and finally lowered his proud head...

Chapter Fourteen: McQueen Wants to Steal the Trainer from the Golden Ship?

"Before training, I need to understand a little about why you have gained weight so that I can address the root cause and help you lose weight effectively. So don't be shy, just report the truth."

Jin Lang is quite experienced in dealing with these overweight racehorses. He has worked in horse racing-related fields for almost his entire life, from jockey to trainer and then to stable boy. He has seen more racehorses than many people imagine, and has encountered countless tricky situations.

Compared to some racehorses that have a kicking or biting habit, or that suddenly fly into a rage and become so irritable that even stable staff can't calm them down, weight gain is a normal occurrence for most racehorses.

Even the Golden Ship gets fat from eating too much, so as a stable boy, Jinlang can handle weight loss with ease. The only problem now is how effective the horse girls in this world are at losing weight. If it's like the old racehorses, then McQueen's debut race will probably have to be postponed again.

More importantly, there's the renowned athlete Nu Tao, who only has two months to prepare for the Daily Cup competition. If she can't successfully lose weight and get back into training mode within those two months...

All we can say is that McQueen's debut could be delayed, at most the competition schedule would be more tight, but for Raging Waves to catch up with the Daily Cup's progress, going from negative to zero, compared to the continuous progress of good opera, it's probably very difficult to catch up.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I just... I haven't had a trainer since the debut competition, so I've been a little... a little self-destructive..."

Meanwhile, the renowned trainer Nutuo was also being extremely cautious because of the trouble she had caused. She knew that both trainers, Wada and Jinlang, were good people and would not blame her for her mistake, but she was well aware that this trouble was caused by herself, so she was extra careful.

"I ate a little more than usual...really, just a little bit..."

"But, but my training hasn't fallen behind. I get up early every day for morning training. It's just that I've been eating a little more." As if afraid that her trainer would think she was a lazy racehorse girl, Meisho Nutao quickly added.

After all, even the renowned dancer Nu Tao knew that Good Opera would absolutely not accept her request to leave the team, and her trainer would certainly not allow her to leave either. Since what happened yesterday, although Nu Tao was still very uneasy, she also understood that if she didn't fight back against Good Opera, she would have no way out.

Therefore, all she can do is become as strong as possible, compete with her fellow opera students, and achieve her goal of becoming a trainer!

"Gaining weight due to overeating, right? That's to be expected, and it's not difficult to solve."

Upon hearing what the renowned general Nutao said, Jinlang and Wada exchanged glances and gained a general understanding of Nutao's situation.

Although neither of them had experience training the famous general Nuotao, nor did they know that Nuotao also had the same tendency to gain weight as Megumi McQueen, it wasn't a difficult matter once they figured out the reason.

"So, Ms. Megumi McQueen, may I ask how your condition came about?"

"That... was just... a little accident."

Megumi McQueen, however, was even more hesitant in this regard than the renowned Raging Waves. Although she had admitted that she was indeed training here because of her obesity and had even received training assistance from Ima-nami, she simply couldn't bring herself to say the real reason...

Fortunately, McQueen still had a few good companions. Ikuno Didos adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice:

"McQueen became obese because she ate too many desserts. Before this, I had already tailored a lot of training methods for her, but the results were not very good."

"Student Didus..."

McQueen, his predicament exposed by Didos, blushed deeply. However, it was precisely Didos's words that made McQueen realize his true colors were revealed. He decided to go all out and speak frankly:

"Yes... I have a sweet tooth and always enjoy eating desserts. When I first entered Treson Academy, I lacked the family members who usually supervised my behavior, so I indulged a little..."

"As a racehorse girl from the Mejiro family, it is a great disgrace to have fallen into such a state—but, trainer Imai, please do not pity me during training. As long as I can reach the weight required to compete in my debut race, I am confident that I can win the race."

"Training isn't too difficult." Jin Lang nodded, quite satisfied with Nu Tao and McQueen's attitude. At least now they could communicate, and he could understand the thoughts of these girls whose prototypes were horse racers.

As a trainer, the worst thing is knowing that you are thinking about the future racing career of some horses, but the racehorses do not understand your intentions and resist and refuse to cooperate. Now this problem has been solved. These girls are all obedient and good girls who know their good intentions.

"But my training is also very strict. If you are determined, I can guarantee that you will lose weight without getting injured and you won't be hungry. However, you will feel very tired every day, and the muscle soreness in the first week will be extremely difficult to endure."

"In particular, you need to avoid certain foods, and I will arrange your daily diet plan. Is that acceptable?"

"—I'm ready! Let's begin!" McQueen nodded immediately, having already made up her mind.

"Yes, yes, please guide me." Nu Tao replied timidly. At that moment, He Tian walked over and patted Nu Tao's head, whispering to him:

"Don't worry, I will train with you and Senior Jinlang. I also have a lot to learn, so don't worry. The training may be tough, but I will be there for you."

"Trainer..."

Nu Tao was clearly very uncomfortable with He Tian's intimate gestures. Its ears, which had been drooping slightly, were now completely flat on its head, while its tail was wagging wildly behind it, whether out of nervousness or joy, it was hard to tell.

At least, she still has someone to encourage her, the only trainer who believes in her and places high hopes on her...
