I live in Tokyo, professionally raise horses

And tell me that's not the case.

Give me a reason to keep going--

"McQueen!!—"

"?!"

Eye white McQueen raised his head slightly.

"It's time to sprint!! Wake up quickly!!—"

It was the Emperor's voice.Although the Sirius stand was still some distance away, and the Emperor's voice was not too loud after reaching here, Ma Niang's excellent hearing still allowed McQueen to catch what the Emperor said.

Wake up quickly...

Also.

At least I still have a chance to wake up.

Mejiro McQueen opened his eyes, adjusted his body posture, and began to regain strength.

"Mejiro McQueen! Mejiro McQueen started to accelerate! The distance to the back is gradually widening! The rice bath has reached 400 meters left! The situation is very stalemate! Behind the four horses is the super small bay and Inariichi! The gap between the two is less than half a horse, and it is difficult to tell with the naked eye! Mebaro McQueen has narrowed the gap! There are still three horses left!"

Has Miss McQueen started to speed up?

Hmm... that's a lot of relief.

Of course, Mi Yu heard the Emperor's voice, but she has already opened up her domain for the final sprint, and she doesn't have the time to look back to confirm.

After hearing the live broadcast, knowing that McQueen had recovered, he was relieved a lot.

"The sprint is complete!——No.1! The gap between the two horses! The long-distance champion, Mi Yu, has completed the second consecutive championship! No.2 is the super small bay, the No. 3 is Inariichi!"

Even if his fighting spirit was ignited, McQueen only got No.4.Feeling his exhausted body, Meshiro McQueen gradually slowed down his steps and walked towards the edge of the venue.

"I thought you were going to give up."

"!—"

It was a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

Haven't heard this sound for a long time.

Meshiro McQueen raised his head in confusion, and soon found the old lady in the crowd.

"Grandmother..."

"No.4, it's a good result."

"Eh?"

"next year."

Ms. Kitano nodded her cane, raised it up and pointed to the sign of the emperor appreciating spring.

"Next year, I hope you can win the Emperor's Appreciation..."

"This is what the Mejiro family expects of you, McQueen."

Chapter 38 Why don't you ask the magical East Emperor Sea King?

For the Mejiro family, the Emperor's Appreciation of Spring is the event that needs the most attention.

The attention paid by the famous Meshiro family to the Emperor's Spring Festival can even be described as "only paying attention to this event".Even if there is no horse race girl from the Mejiro family to participate, Ms. Kitano will definitely pay attention to the annual Emperor's Appreciation Spring.

It's just that I usually just watch the broadcast on TV, but this year I just came to the scene.

To be honest, Ms. Kitano has really stopped paying attention to Meshiro McQueen—to be precise, she has never paid much attention to it.

After all, McQueen's performance in the family was not very good at the beginning, and it was not even as good as his family member Meshiro Ryan, so Ms. Kitano used her as a "chip" to help Chiyo recover from the side.

But it turns out that she still made a slight miscalculation.

...No, it can't be wrong, Chiyo Whisperer is the horse girl she was in charge of, and she is also a member of the Mejiro family, so in a sense, she just put McQueen in a specific training in the Mejiro family Institutions are for training.

It's just that this training institution...

It is a little bit more powerful by a little bit, and the number of famous horse girls born from it is a little bit more.

So when she heard that Mejiro McQueen won No.3 in the Osaka Cup, Ms. Kitano was really surprised.

It's not that she doesn't really pay attention to events other than the Emperor's Spring Festival.On the contrary, in order to be able to achieve the goal of being rewarded by the emperor, Ms. Kitano certainly did a lot of homework.

Not to mention that she used to be a trainer and knew about Ma Niang as well as anyone else.

No.1 is an Oguri hat, No.2 is a super small bay...

That is to say, apart from the horse girls who are already at the classical level and have almost overlord strength, Meshiro McQueen has been able to not lose to any other horse girls at the classical level.

As for the growth theory that Chiyo used to persuade McQueen, Ms. Kitano is very clear.

After all, this was what she used to tell Chiyo at the time, telling her not to rush to challenge the theory of Qianming's representative and Lu Duo's symbol.

... In the end, Representative Qianming was still beaten by the classic Chiyo Whisperer.

But at that time, Chiyo had already won the triple crown, and by the way, went to the Queen Elizabeth Cup to win the title of queen.

After all, the Queen Elizabeth Cup itself is a mixed game.

It is precisely because she understands this theory that Ms. Kitano will go all the way to the scene just to see McQueen's performance.

Sure enough, she didn't expect it.

The Four Masters of Heisei: Oguri Hat, Super Cove, Inariichi, and Miyu.Losing to one or more of these three is not shabby at all.

Rather, if you can win one of them, especially if you win the English-Chinese distance Xiaolimao or the long-distance Miyu, then you are really one of the few horse girls in the world.

It's just... McQueen's state is very wrong today.

To be honest, if there is no subsequent explosion, Ms. Kitano will also feel that Meshiro McQueen's strength may be nothing more than that, and even after growing up, she will not be able to compete with the future classical horse girls.

"McQueen."

"Ah, yes, Grandmother...what's the matter?"

"I don't expect much from you."

"……Yes."

Hearing this sentence, Meshiro McQueen's eyes dimmed slightly.

Of course she knew that Ms. Kitano did not have high requirements for herself, otherwise the Mejiro family should directly arrange excellent trainers instead of being handed over to...

Eh?

Meshiro McQueen blinked.

If I remember correctly, the Mebaro family's practice is to directly assign talented junior Ma Niangs to the excellent trainers under the Mebaro family...

And it seems that I was assigned to the teacher's subordinate?It's just that I want to save face, so I didn't join the team directly, but passed a dispensable test?

……Eh?

McQueen was suddenly thrown into disarray.

Then, do you count yourself as being valued?

"McQueen."

"Yes Yes."

"Sometimes, you don't need to take the Mejiro family's honor so seriously."

"What's the meaning?"

"Literally. I won't say much else."

Ms. Kitano turned her head away, leaving McQueen with an old but still energetic back.

"If you really don't understand... Who is that horse girl who called your name today?"

"Is it the Emperor of the East China Sea?"

"Emperor Donghai...is he a child of the Donghai family? If you don't understand, ask the Chiyo Speaker, ask Emperor Donghai. The journey alone will be very long, and sometimes you need a little company from others." .”

After saying that, the old lady in riddle turned and left, leaving Meshiro McQueen standing there alone, a little dazed.

I have always carried the glory of the Meshiro family on my shoulders, and I have taken it as my goal, my motivation, and it has always been like this...

Today, my grandmother told me that I don't need to take the glory of the Mejiro family so seriously?

Mejiro McQueen really didn't understand.

"Miss McQueen...? Everyone has already gone back."

"Ok?"

Mi Yu's voice made McQueen turn his head.Only at this time did she realize that during the time she was chatting with her grandmother, everyone else had already gone back to the lounge.

"Ah, I'm sorry. The winner's stage is still on..."

……

It seems that I don't have the right to be on the winner's stage.

"...Senior Miyu is still preparing for the winner's stage, right. Let's go back."

Concealing his disappointment, Mubai McQueen put on a perfect expression again, and walked towards the lounge with Mi Yu.

Speaking of which, am I the first horse girl in Sirius who didn't make it to the winner's stage...

Teachers who have never lost their careers, seniors Xiao Limao and Mi Yu who hurt each other but have never lost other than each other, emperors and Neiqia who are still victorious until now...

"McQueen?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"This is my line. It looks very absent-minded, what's wrong?"

"Hmm...it's nothing. After all, I'm still somewhat depressed after losing."

Rearranging a more relaxed expression, McQueen smiled at the Emperor, took his clothes and walked to the bathing place.Looking at McQueen's back, Emperor Donghai tilted his head, wanting to go up to stop him, but he didn't know if he should do so.

McQueen...is it really okay?

"It took her a little time to get used to it."

Chiyo came to the emperor's side and patted her head.

"Don't look at her like this... If she is allowed to run for the Triple Crown, I can't say anything about other competitions. The Chrysanthemum Award must be her winner."

"Eh? Chiyo, are you so sure?"

"Well. So she just can't get over the hurdle in her heart... Well, after all, it's normal for her to be a little out of balance after losing two games in a row."

A certain "undefeated" Ma Niang who also cried after losing the Emperor's Appreciation Spring said so.

Chapter 39 The only designated dream talk of the horse race girl

It is a very powerful achievement for the emperor to reward spring consecutive hegemony.

After all, the race distance of 3200 meters is not easy to complete. Many horse girls have not fully adapted to such a long-distance race when they were just in the classical class. After participating, they failed to win the championship. After winning the championship, in the fifth year, he lost to a rising star because his competitive state had begun to decline.

Therefore, although Miyu only has 5 G1s now, the honor of the emperor's award for consecutive championships has actually allowed her to enter the palace steadily.

I just don't know if I can give a bronze statue or a silver statue... The number of G1 statues is still relatively small for gold statues, and one or two more will be enough.

Moreover, Miss Mi Yu, who has successfully defended the title of the Emperor's Appreciation of Spring, can be regarded as officially having the strength to challenge the world.

"Huh...huh..."

"One more!—one more!—"

The response from the audience was very enthusiastic.It has already been announced that Mi Yu will go abroad to challenge the whole world after the emperor's Spring Appreciation. Knowing that Mi Yu may regard foreign competitions as retirement battles, the audience still feel very reluctant.

In this way, the Emperor's Appreciation of Spring should be Mi Yu's last big game in China, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is Mi Yu's domestic retirement battle.
