Thanks to Agnes Digital's help, Tachyon's leg nursing care was completed smoothly.
It's just that for some reason, although she could openly and closely squeeze Tachyon's little legs and even learned some knowledge, and the other party was even unusually cooperative, Digital's mood not only did not rise after the massage, but even showed a downward trend.
In fact, Shinji was even prepared for her to pass out with a nosebleed while shouting "Precious!" halfway through the massage, and for him to have to take over. But he didn't expect her to be so strong today and actually persevere through the whole process. It's just that for some reason, her hands looked a little shaky afterwards.
It was very strange.
However, although he felt it was strange, because it was a good thing, and he felt that the matter between the two of them probably had nothing to do with him, he didn't dwell on it too much and soon threw it to the back of his mind.
Then, after the nursing care was over, and after a short rest, Tachyon began to warm up, the coldness in her eyes gradually retracting.
Basic exercises, muscle stretching, joint movements, slow jogging... As she went through each exercise, her condition gradually reached its best.
It's about time.
Shinji looked at her state, then at the time, and then stopped her activity, leading her towards the racecourse.
And as they were walking, just as he was about to send her out of the tunnel and they had to part ways, he hesitated for a moment, and ultimately couldn't help but remind her again.
"Remember to use the running form I taught you, and don't exert yourself too much. Your future is more than just this one Maiden race..."
He had originally thought that this nagging would be met with a perfunctory "uh-huh" like in the training room, because to be honest, he felt he had been nagging a bit too much.
But to his surprise, this time, she didn't show any impatience or perfunctory behavior. She listened to his nagging very obediently, and then at the fork in the road where they were about to part, she stopped, turned to look at him, and nodded very seriously.
"Yes, don't worry, Mr. Guinea Pig. I will."
This sudden change in attitude actually startled him a little, and he even suspected for a moment if she had drunk some strange potion before entering the field.
Fortunately, in the next second, she couldn't maintain her rare seriousness and returned to her original self.
"But speaking of which, Mr. Guinea Pig, ordinary trainers usually have a little reward after a horse girl wins, right..."
She smiled, the four words "help me test potions" almost written on her face.
Looking at her like this, he sighed and said helplessly, "You're raising a flag, you know? Don't cry if you lose."
"I won't lose. And I will strictly follow the plan you've made to achieve victory." Her tone was serious, a strange emotion flashing in her eyes. "So, in exchange, after I win, you have to agree to one of my requests."
Shinji's face turned green when he heard this. "Spare me. My financial situation is already like this. If I go to the hospital again..."
"It's not about testing potions, and it's not related to money." Tachyon interrupted him, blinked, and showed a mysterious smile. "In any case, a mere guinea pig has no right to refuse. As for what it is, you'll know after I get back."
"Well then, see you later."
After saying that, without giving him any chance to refute, she swayed her somewhat overly long sleeves, humming an unknown tune, and went to the racecourse.
Shinji stood there stunned for a while. After realizing what had happened, he scratched his head, a little confused about what she was thinking. But thinking that since it wasn't about testing potions and had nothing to do with money, then there probably wouldn't be any problems, he left after thinking for a while.
Then, he left the tunnel and went to the trainer's viewing stand, where several other trainers were already standing.
After greeting them and standing over, he then began to look at the Maiden race venue. Although this thing sounded unimportant, and in fact was not very important, perhaps because it was held so often, the scale here was even better than some graded stakes venues.
The racecourse, the audience stands, the winner's stage—all the necessary components were there, and the corresponding supporting facilities were also complete.
And besides that, the number of people in the audience also surprised him.
He had originally thought that for a race that wasn't even official, even if an audience stand was built, there probably wouldn't be many people to watch. But the actual situation was the exact opposite of what he had imagined.
In that not-so-small audience stand, it couldn't be said to be sparsely populated, but at least it was a sea of people. Some people who couldn't find a place to sit were even just standing on the side watching.
No, it's just a Maiden race. Is it really necessary?
A doubt couldn't help but arise in his heart.
But this was something he didn't understand.
Because he had wandered in the countryside and various local Tracen academies for many years, although he knew that the people in this world were very enthusiastic about the sport of horse girl racing, his understanding was basically limited to that level. And because he had mostly been in contact with horse girls and trainers, he felt it was only natural for them to care about such things, and that other people probably wouldn't be as concerned about such things as these professionals.
But the problem is, if horse girl racing was really just an "ordinary sport" in his perception, then how could the strange scale and power of Tracen be explained?
What he didn't know was that in this world, not just horse girls and trainers, but other ordinary people also had a great passion for the sport of horse girl racing. And it wasn't a niche, but the vast majority of the population.
Passion, struggle, dreams...
Money, interests, fame...
Whether for spiritual purposes or for interests, they all had reasons to pay attention to this sport, and the industries and jobs that extended from it were also countless, further expanding the influence of horse girls.
And it wasn't just attention.
Under the operation of certain forces, horse girls had been tied to the faith of the Three Goddesses and had, to some extent, become one of the symbols of the good spirit of this world. Horse girl racing had also become the most popular and well-received event.
From his transmigration to the present for so many years, he had also noticed some differences between this world and his previous world, one of which was that the overall mental state of the people in this world was much better than in his previous world.
There were few wars, especially since the popularization of horse girl racing hundreds of years ago. To this day, let alone a world war, there hadn't even been a few local conflicts, and they were all quickly quelled.
As for society, although there were inevitably all sorts of organizations and troublesome things due to various reasons, on the whole, it was also quite good.
Take the JP he was in now as an example. In his previous world, JP could be said to be one of the most depressing countries in the world, with a strict class system, a repressive social environment, a high suicide rate, and the successive appearance of otaku and NEETs.
But here, although the competition was still great due to the large population and small land area, and the society was somewhat repressive, the degree of repression was much smaller than in the JP he knew, and the overall environment was also much better.
Social fairness, wealth distribution, development between different regions, the governance and corruption of the government, and a series of other aspects, although not perfect, were also greatly improved from his impression.
For example, after the census bureau had made a mistake, they hadn't just bowed and apologized. Instead, they had directly fired a large number of people, and even two deputy directors had been removed. And it wasn't Tracen who had pressured them; it was their own initiative.
If this were the JP before he transmigrated, then if not firing two temporary workers to make up the numbers, at the very least it would have been a "I've already apologized, what more do you want?" kind of development.
With so many abnormal changes, if you were to say it had nothing to do with the Three Goddesses, he wouldn't believe it.
As for how the Three Goddesses did it, after so many years of wandering, he had also more or less realized a little.
A part of it included the sport of horse girl racing.
By expanding its influence through operational means, attracting the attention of the whole society, and then by creating an image, rendering and transmitting all sorts of positive emotions to the outside world, thereby influencing and even improving the mental state of the entire world, and to some extent, guiding the world in a better direction of development.
This might sound a bit strange. After all, from the current situation at the main Tracen campus, forget about letting the horse girls transmit positive emotions, it was already good enough if they didn't transmit rape emotions and the fear of man-eating mares.
But that's not how it works.
The reason horse girls are considered by the outside world as spirits blessed by the Three Goddesses is not just because of their reputation, but because there is indeed a reason for it.
People who have never had contact with horse girls, or who have only had contact with them in Tracen, would probably not be able to understand this situation and would suspect if the brains of the outside world had been kicked by horse girls to think they were cute.
But as long as they really had contact, they would find that the existence of horse girls is indeed worthy of their reputation in the outside world.
Gentle, kind, optimistic, cheerful, simple, positive, and helpful. Their crime rate is almost zero, and because of their strong physical fitness, they can often help the neighborhood deal with some problems that are not easy for humans to handle. They are the most popular neighbors.
In a community where horse girls exist, the overall quality of the residents and the community environment will be significantly better than in a community where there are no horse girls. This has even led many developers to directly introduce various special preferential policies for horse girls to attract other residents.
This sounds ridiculous, right? It's as if the horse girls outside and the horse girls inside Tracen are two completely different species.
But they are not. This is just the difference between different growth stages of the same species.
Or to put it more simply.
The creature known as a horse girl, when they are young, because they have not yet begun their full-fledged development, they are not much different from ordinary human girls. Their physical fitness is also not too much stronger than children of the same age, especially for adults, it's not worth mentioning.
And when they become adults, after adapting to their grown strength and identity, they will become the appearance that the outside world knows. Although there will be differences due to individuals, in general, they can basically be considered very excellent existences. Whether it's ability, morality, or some other aspects, they are far above the average line of ordinary humans and are fully worthy of their reputation in the outside world.
And then, the remaining period of this evolution is the only dangerous period in their lives.
That is, the period around their full-fledged development.
Immature minds, coupled with the rapid growth of strength, even humans are not necessarily safe, let alone horse girls whose strength far exceeds that of humans.
So that's why Tracen has so much power, and also the main reason why they so decisively decided to take in all the horse girls who were said to be wandering outside. As Tazuna had said at the time, leaving them in their full-fledged development outside is a very dangerous thing, both for society and for them.
And speaking of which, it's not hard to understand why the audience stands of a mere Maiden race venue would be so packed. Because the outside world really likes horse girls, and even more so, racehorses. So whenever they are free, they like to come here to watch the races, relax, and if they are lucky, they might even witness the birth of a legend.
And because it's a Maiden race, the entrance ticket price here is not expensive. To be able to watch a horse girl race live for so little money, even if they are just newcomers, is completely acceptable. Not to mention, besides ordinary spectators, there are also a lot of trainers who have come to find inspiration, magazine and newspaper reporters looking for material, and some practitioners of horse girl-related industries, and so on. It would be strange if there were few people.
Shinji wasn't very clear about the ins and outs of this, but he didn't dwell on it for long. Because anyway, the number of spectators didn't matter to him. After a little surprise, he turned his gaze to the racecourse.
When he looked over, Tachyon had just come out of the tunnel and immediately attracted the attention of the entire audience.
There was no other reason than that her racing silks were too conspicuous.
In fact, although racing silks seem to be a standard piece of equipment for every racing horse girl, in reality, not every horse girl can afford this kind of thing. As mentioned before, there are not many racing silk designers. Even the main Tracen campus can only recruit a few ordinary ones, so other places are even more out of the question.
For ordinary horse girls, let alone a Maiden race, it's already considered lucky to be able to book a set of racing silks before an official race.
Most horse girls book half a year or even a year in advance, and only after running for a period of time can they officially own their own custom-made racing silks. Before that, they can only go to those horse girl brand chain stores and spend money to buy those industrially mass-produced racing silks to make do. Although the quality can't be said to be poor, and at least it's usable, it's definitely not on the same level as custom-made racing silks.
And, the people who can come here to watch the race live are basically those who have some understanding of horse girls, not to mention a bunch of related industry practitioners. Although they can't distinguish too finely, they can at least tell the quality of the racing silks.
And it wasn't just the audience. The horse girls in the same race, as racehorses themselves, of course couldn't be ignorant about racing silks. In fact, because they were closer, they could feel even more.
"How nice. I wonder which young lady she is..." a horse girl unconsciously exclaimed, and then found that Tachyon's gaze had turned to her, a hint of embarrassment on her face. "Um, I didn't mean anything else, I just think your racing silks are very nice..."
"I know." Tachyon nodded, then showed a triumphant smile. "But I'm not some young lady. And I didn't order this dress. It was my... my stupid trainer who ordered it for me."
"Your trainer?" another horse girl asked curiously. "Is he a trainer from some big family? This quality of racing silks is not easy to order..."
"No, he's just a very ordinary trainer. And I heard that he used to wander around because he couldn't get enough to eat."
As she spoke, she looked towards the trainers' viewing stand, and like a child showing off a new toy, she waved her sleeve at the figure on the stand. "That one, the third from the left, the one with the cheapest clothes, that's him."
The hint of "third from the left" was already obvious enough, but when the other horse girls looked over, they found that they didn't need this hint at all, because the latter hint was even more obvious than the former.
Being a trainer is a high-risk profession, and both the salary and social status are quite high. Even a trainer at a local Tracen is like a civil servant, a person of high status. When attending such an occasion, they naturally wouldn't dress too casually.
Originally, when he was walking on the road, his clothes looked okay. But once he stood among them, he was as conspicuous as a husky mixed in a pack of wolves. You could clearly smell the cheapness from hundreds of meters away.
The other trainers didn't look down on him because of this. After all, as mentioned before, although they were in a competitive relationship, perhaps because they were also a vulnerable group oppressed by horse girls, the relationship between ordinary trainers was quite good. And most trainers had also come up from the bottom and had had their share of embarrassing and difficult times, so they could very well understand his current situation.
And forget about laughing, some of the more familiar old trainers had already started to pass on their experience to him, recommending some cheap but practical brands they had bought when they were tight on money.
However, although the trainers on the viewing stand were all getting along happily, the atmosphere on the racecourse was a little different.
After seeing clearly the trainer Tachyon had pointed out, the other horse girls' gazes began to turn back and forth between the two of them.
The contrast between the high-end racing silks and the cheap suit constantly impacted their minds. Besides surprise, a sour lemon taste began to spread on the racecourse.
So envious...
The other horse girls immediately realized what her previous action was for. It was purely to show off her trainer.
But they couldn't feel any disgust for this kind of behavior. After all, to be honest, if they had such an exclusive trainer, they would also want everyone to know about it.
"But, but it's not like you can definitely win just because your racing silks are good..." a horse girl protested in a small voice. It wasn't that she was unconvinced, but she felt that if she didn't protest a few words, she would have already lost before the race even started.
And after hearing her words, the speed at which Tachyon waved her sleeve also gradually slowed down, her expression gradually becoming serious.
"Yes, racing silks are not the only factor that determines victory."
"So, I will use my actions to prove the correctness of his choice."
"By means of victory."
