The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

It seems... I'm still no match for him. Xingjiang closed her eyes silently. At this moment, she knew that she had lost.

As expected, she still can't compare to Sheng Wang's belief. She lost this game willingly and admitted that she would never be able to shake Sheng Wang's position in Kitano's heart.

She was running for their destiny, and this race was the blow she was destined to break their fate.

This is a blow that shatters everything in the past. The current Holy King's halo will be completely reborn after this victory!

"It's crossed the finish line! Holy King Halo! It's number 14 Holy King Halo that's crossed the finish line! The gap was very small! But Holy King Halo managed to cross the finish line with the fastest last kick of the race! They've won the Japanese Derby!"

"Congratulations to Saint King Halo! She's won the Japanese Derby! Now, she's the second Derby horse of the 'Golden Generation'! This race was won with difficulty, and this race was won with honor!"

"The fastest of the bunch, a final time of 3f33.4! Undoubtedly worthy of the title of 'Golden Generation'! A top-notch powerhouse, no less powerful than any of the 'Golden Generation' members! Holy King Halo!"

Yes, a top-tier warrior, no less powerful than anyone else. Saint King Halo had now achieved the title she hadn't previously held, becoming a universally recognized and powerful horse girl.

She had fought twice for this recognition. Now, she had undoubtedly shattered the nightmares of the past and became a truly worthy and sought-after horse girl from the "Golden Generation"!

When people mention her in the future, they will no longer think of her as the weakest member of the "Golden Generation" or a horse girl who can only run short distances. They will recall the heroic performance of Holy King Halo in the Japanese Derby. They will remember that in this game, Holy King Halo became the undisputed strongest!

Chapter 414: The "Golden Generation" that Opens a New Era

"The Halo of the Holy King! A top-notch horse girl! Victory in the Japanese Derby! Proof of her bloodline, her talent, and her ability!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime honor! The winner of the Japanese Derby! Let us congratulate Holy King Halo! Become a glorious Derby horse!"

Derby Horse Girl. This title can only be earned once in a lifetime. Japan produces approximately 7,000 horse girls each year, but only 18 of them qualify to become a horse girl and compete in the Japanese Derby.

Of these eighteen, only one can achieve this honor. This is the highest honor for a horse girl, truly one in a million, and it is what Saint King Halo has pursued her entire life, an honor she believes is worthy of her "first-rate" status.

Unfortunately, from the moment she set this goal, she never thought that she would struggle for this goal and even spend two lifetimes to obtain this honor that she once thought she would definitely get, but now it has left a shadow.

But now, she has succeeded. After she took back everything from her past and faced the haze of the past that made her want to escape, she finally broke through the obstacles of the haze and successfully moved towards a brand new future.

And now, Saint King Halo has successfully won the Japanese Derby, but now, she does not have the sense of accomplishment she imagined after striving for a goal for two lifetimes and finally achieving it.

All the applause and cheers around her only made Saint King Halo feel a little dazed at the moment. She stared blankly at everything around her. Slowly, without her noticing, the black particles that were still emerging from her body were slowly dissipating in such an atmosphere.

She slowly raised one of her hands, a faint smile appearing on her face. In the end, she did not act like a proud winner, but instead placed her palm slowly on her chest and bowed gracefully to all the audience.

It was as if such a victory was just an ordinary victory for the Holy King. She saluted gracefully like a noble, suggesting that this was not her end and that she would achieve many more beautiful victories in the future.

"Don't you want to make a proud victory gesture? If so, wouldn't this victory you've pursued for so long end in such a dull way?"

"The victory I seek isn't just this one." Facing the echo of his own thoughts, the current Saint King replied calmly, "The Japan Derby is just a brand new beginning for me. It's proof of my rebirth. I've shattered the shadows of the past. I've left the past behind and look straight ahead to my new future."

"I won't end my journey as a Umamusume simply by winning the Japanese Derby. I'm a top-notch Umamusume, and I'll conquer many more GI events in the future. I can't make a grand farewell until the final curtain call."

"That's right."

However, the answer in the Holy King's heart was now echoed by another voice of hers. Slowly, the Holy King no longer heard his own voice, as if... that voice had disappeared.

But the Saint King knew that this wasn't a disappearance, but rather a sign that they had finally become complete again. At this moment, the Saint King no longer needed to hear the voice of his other self; now, she had taken back everything that belonged to her.

She no longer shows her pride and complacency outwardly, but she will not forget the pride in her bones as a first-class person; she will no longer look down on her opponents, but she will still believe that she will be the final winner.

Likewise, she would no longer be emotionally unstable because of victory or failure, because all of this was the result of her utmost efforts. No matter what the result was, she would not feel sorry for herself or be ecstatic...

"What a beautiful victory, Holy King."

"Ah You……"

When the familiar voice was heard, the tail behind Saint King Halo swung violently almost subconsciously, and the pair of horse ears that had drooped slightly due to his inner sentimentality stood up immediately, and he turned around in an instant.

Sure enough, the moment she turned around, she saw Kitano who had come behind her at some point, and beside Kitano were three members of the "Golden Generation": Kusanagi Fei, Tokai Chou and Shenying.

"You're here."

Although the Holy King's heartbeat quickened almost instantly when he heard Kitano's voice, he inexplicably calmed down after seeing him in person. He just smiled faintly and said, "I won. It's the Japanese derby, just as we agreed."

"I saw it." Kitano clapped his hands for the Holy King and said with a chuckle, "I've been watching carefully. I know you can do it."

"Trainer-san was in the audience, and everyone was crying." Kusagami Fei, who was watching all this tenderly from the side, broke Kitano's outward composure and chuckled, saying, "It's rare to see a trainer-san so excited. Sheng Wang-san, you're one of a kind."

"Little grass..."

However, when Cao Shangfei said this, Beiye looked over with a slightly resentful look. Obviously, before they came down together just now, Beiye had specifically instructed the three women not to tell this matter.

Seeing this, Kusanagi Fei also smiled apologetically, but from her increasingly obvious smile, it can be seen that she was not reflecting at all. After all, for the relationship between Kusanagi Fei and Kitano, Kitano's "trainer's authority" was just a joke.

"Trainer-san, now's a good time to praise Sheng Wang-san. After all, Sheng Wang-san finally won the competition, didn't he?"

"..." In response to Cao Shangfei's proposal, Kitano turned his gaze to Te Bie Zhou and Shen Ying. After receiving the same approval from the two girls, he turned to look at Xing Jiang who was not far away.

Although Xing-chan, who lost second place, was a little depressed, she didn't feel any resentment about losing to Sheng Wang. Seeing Kitano's gaze, she subconsciously hugged the back of her head with both hands and said with a chuckle, "Hehe, I lost, but Xing-chan, I don't think I lost unfairly. Sheng Wang won beautifully today."

"So, Trainer-san, please praise Sheng Wang-san well—but after you go back, you must comfort Xing-chan well—"

With Xingjiang's permission, Kitano finally had no more worries. Facing the Holy King in front of him, Kitano opened his arms without hesitation and tried to make a gesture to welcome a hug.

However, the Holy King couldn't help but blush slightly when he saw Kitano's gesture, and he scolded him softly, "You idiot... We're out in public, you want me to hug you in front of so many people?"

"Oh...I'm sorry, I forgot."

Kitano also realized belatedly that this occasion was indeed not suitable for their hug, especially when the number of spectators for this Japanese derby was almost unprecedented.

Although it is normal for a horse girl to give her trainer a hug after a victory, it is inevitable that it will be used by reporters with ulterior motives to make a fuss... Not to mention that you have confirmed your relationship, but deliberately leading it in an ambiguous direction, after a while, the audience and fans outside will start arguing over the CP issue again.

Kitano was so happy that he subconsciously ignored this. However, just when Kitano was about to withdraw his hug, a helpless smile appeared on the Holy King's face, and he said softly: "Idiot...you guy."

"Hmm? Oh..."

However, before Kitano could react, the Holy King calmly walked forward a few steps and soon threw himself into Kitano's arms. After Kitano was slightly surprised, he quickly regained his composure and gently patted the Holy King on the back.

"Alright, alright, Holy King, everything is over. There's no need to be afraid of the past anymore, right?"

"I'm no longer afraid of the past." The Holy King, who buried his head in Kitano's arms, replied with a hint of joy, "Have you forgotten? You made my most unbearable past become the final outcome I can face directly. With you here, what else can I not face?"

"That's good... Oh, what's wrong?"

However, before Kitano could smile with relief, he suddenly felt a soft touch from behind. Kitano turned his head slightly and did not see who was hugging his back, but he caught a glimpse of chestnut hair.

"I just think that this would be more suitable for this kind of atmosphere."

Kusanagi Fei, who was hugging Kitano's back, also smiled gently. No one could see her expression at the moment, but from the strength with which she hugged Kitano, it was clear that she naturally did not want to be inferior to anyone.

"Oh! Elu, I want a hug too! I want one too!"

"Ah, ah? Then I will..."

The highly emotionally intelligent Shenying immediately understood Cao Shangfei's behavior, and immediately stepped forward and hugged Kitano from the side. Although Te Bie Zhou didn't quite understand, he still stepped forward to join in the fun in order to maintain the atmosphere.

"Ah... then Xing-chan, I won't be polite—"

In the end, even the thinnest-skinned Xingchan came forward with a normal expression - although Kitano was now surrounded by the four horse girls, this might be the reason why Xingchan could come forward freely.

All of a sudden, the five horse girls surrounded their trainer tightly. And after a strange silence, the audience erupted into even more unprecedented applause and cheers. Countless flashbulbs flashed at this moment, recording this historic moment.

In a few years, the new generation of horse racing girls will hear about this legendary era. The five were on the same trainer's team, rivals and friends, and none of them was weak.

So later, because the five of them lived in the same era, they were debated many times by countless fans about who was stronger, but in the end everyone was able to show a proud victory, and most of the arguments could only exist in vain.

They are the true "Golden Generation." The five strongest horse girls of their era!

Chapter 415: The Holy King’s Mother’s Final Enlightenment to Her Daughter

The Japanese Derby is over. This thrilling match finally came to an end with the victory of the Holy King. The scene of Kitano, the trainer, hugging the five horse girls from the entire "Golden Generation" will undoubtedly become the next headline.

But this headline will definitely not be related to Kitano or any of the Uma Musume, because the person hugging Kitano is not just the Holy King, but the entire "Golden Generation" of five people. In this way, even the journalists have to restrain themselves when facing such a heartwarming scene at first glance.

After all, this is not just about the reputation of one horse racing girl, but five of them. If nothing unexpected happens, these five people will become the "benchmark" for countless horse racing girls in the future, because these journalist friends will have to think twice before writing.

However, Kitano didn't care about all these. Now Kitano accompanied the Holy King back to the lounge. Xingjiang had already gone to another lounge to change clothes. Everyone knew that Kitano and the Holy King had other things to say, so no one asked more questions.

When they arrived at the lounge, Kitano closed the door and turned to look at the Holy King in front of him and asked, "So, Holy King..."

However, that casual glance caused Kitano's eyes to flutter slightly - because of the sudden "scene" before him. At this moment, he saw the Holy King, who had only taken off the outer layer of her victory suit, the green coat. The northern part of her inner garment was also hollowed out, revealing it to Kitano.

Although Kitano had known about the design of the Holy King's victory dress before, as the daughter of an international fashion designer, the Holy King had a special liking for this fashionable hollow-back design - her previous dress also had this design.

Therefore, for his own decisive suit, the Holy King, who did not want to lose to his mother in design, would naturally design what he thought was the most fashionable outfit for himself.

But this design also has a disadvantage, that is, after the Saint King competition, she will always subconsciously forget that her lower body is hollow, and will take off her clothes to help herself dissipate heat.

But perhaps this design was to facilitate the Saint King's own heat dissipation? Kitano really didn't know this. But the sudden exposure of a pure white back always made Kitano think of other things.

As for the Holy King, this type of sweater would be perfect for him, right? Or maybe just use an apron...

"What do you want to say?"

However, after a long silence, the Holy King seemed to notice that Kitano's eyes were fixed on his back, but he did not turn around in a hurry. He just spoke calmly and interrupted Kitano's fantasy.

"Ah." Kitano, having regained his composure, broke free from his delusion and quickly said with forced composure, "Saint King, you truly won this Japanese Derby quite well. This time, you truly succeeded in breaking your fate."

"In the future... maybe this time you can go even further. It won't just be the Takamatsunomiya Memorial. There will be more GI events waiting for you to conquer. When people mention you now, it will definitely not be the same as it was last week."

"I know." The Holy King also slowly put down her coat. Feeling Kitano's gaze, she not only did not put on any clothes, but also deliberately exposed her white back for Kitano to admire. She replied nonchalantly: "But it's not just my victory, this victory that changes my destiny... Without your support, I would not have been able to win it."

"You changed the past in my dreams, those things I didn't even want to recall. Now that you've changed them, you've given me the courage to face them. In this sense, you've changed my destiny."

"Thank you... for supporting me so much this time. It made me realize how good it feels to have someone who supports you wholeheartedly."

The Holy King rarely thanked Kitano, because no matter when their relationship was not good in the past, or when their relationship was so good later that there was no need to thank him at all, the Holy King had never been very "polite" to Kitano, and because of this, her thanks this time seemed particularly precious.

At this moment, the Holy King finally turned around. Her slightly red cheeks and slightly sweaty body were emitting a wonderful aura. She said to Kitano, suppressing her shyness: "It's great to have you by my side, Long Yi."

"Don't say that, I just did what I was supposed to do."

Faced with the Saint King's sincere gratitude, Kitano, who was somewhat unaccustomed to this atmosphere, blushed unusually. With a slightly evasive look, he said, "I wasn't good enough before. Not only did I not support you wholeheartedly, but I even advised you to give up... In the past, I was so obsessed with being right that I forgot and ignored your feelings, Saint King."

"I should thank you for supporting me and letting me stay by your side."

At this moment, Kitano and Sheng Wang smiled at each other, but they both felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more ambiguous. For a moment, neither of them knew what to do, but they just felt that this atmosphere was very weird.

Kitano was embarrassed and didn't look at the Holy King, and the Holy King just lowered his head and played with his fingers to prove her confused thoughts at the moment.

At this moment, a knock on the door finally interrupted the awkwardness of the two people in the room. Before they could react, the door was pushed open and a person who surprised both Kitano and Sheng Wang walked in.

"Mom? Why are you here?"

Saint King Halo had never imagined that her mother would appear here. Then, a possibility occurred to her, and she couldn't help but ask in disbelief, "Could it be... you're here to watch my match too? I clearly didn't invite Mom..."

"What kind of mother wouldn't show up to see her daughter compete?"

The uninvited Holy King's mother also entered the room and closed the door. After smiling gently, the mother turned her gaze to Kitano and her daughter, their strange looks, and... her daughter's not-so-appropriate attire.

However, as she watched, the Holy King's mother seemed to suddenly realize something. She quickly revealed a sly smile, blinked, and said, "By the way, am I being unromantic? Did I accidentally interrupt something very important?"

"If my leaving now can help you guys regain some peace of mind, I'll leave now."

"mom!"

The words of the Holy King's mother made the Holy King's halo blush, but she also realized that her mother had something to say to her, and then she turned her gaze to Kitano who was standing beside her.

The ambiguous atmosphere from before made the Saint King feel strangely anxious whenever he saw Bei Ye. He quickly pushed Bei Ye out and said, "I want to chat with my mother. You guys, don't bother me! Get out! And don't eavesdrop!"

Before Kitano could speak, the Holy King pushed Kitano out of the room and closed the door. At this moment, the Holy King was panting and his face was bright red, as if his whole body was burning.

Seeing her daughter's reaction, Mother Saint King was extremely satisfied. She chuckled and said, "It seems that your relationship with Trainer Kitano is heating up very quickly, Huanhuan. You must have heard what happened at Christmas."

"Stop teasing me...Mom."

The Holy King, blushing, was completely unsure how to handle this. His mother was a bit surprised by his reaction, and she curiously asked, "Huanhuan, you and Trainer Kitano... haven't confirmed your relationship yet?"

"I know from inside information that he has engagements with both the Yuzhi family and the Mejiro family, and they've already been engaged. Huanhuan, you don't know anything about this?"

"I know, but I don't know what to do."

Upon hearing this, the Holy King was silent for a long time. He knew everything about everyone in these teams except Xing-chan. It was even Kitano who took the initiative to tell the Holy King. If she didn't know about this, then there would be a problem.

But the problem was, even if the Saint King knew all this, she wouldn't have any good solutions now. With a slightly dimmed look in her eyes, she said, "He has long been reserved. He no longer belongs to me alone, but to everyone in the entire team. How can I monopolize him?"

"The main thing is that he has an unshakable place for me in his heart... As long as he feels that I am the same as Aldant, Rudolf, and good opera, that's enough."

"Silly child, since you are so important to him, why don't you do anything?"

However, the Holy King's mother was stunned after hearing his words, thinking that her daughter had truly achieved something. She could stand up to so many powerful enemies, even rivaling them in strength. However, she quickly grasped the crux of the matter and said with a laugh, "Since you're so important to him, why did you have to give the best fruits of victory to the two from the Yuzhi and Mejiro families? You're no less capable than them."

"Even if there's a gap between you two in terms of family power, this has nothing to do with family. They have so many resources and such a deep background, but they're only tied with you, my daughter, aren't they? Huanhuan, do you know what this means?"

However, looking directly at her daughter's slightly stunned gaze, the Holy King's mother said solemnly, "Doesn't this mean that, even with the resources and support of the Mejiro and Yuzhi families, they are still at a stalemate with you, rather than gaining the upper hand? Doesn't this mean that the offensive of the two heirs of the Mejiro and Yuzhi families is nothing more than this?"

"Huanhuan, I know you're a hesitant child, but I hope you won't worry this time. With the man who loves you the most and your mother backing you up, you don't have to be afraid of anything!"

"If you can't get the position, then steal it! If you can't get the position, then steal something else! If all else fails, then take the body of the man you love and absolutely solidify your position!"
