Tokai Teio!
The inspirational protagonist from Uma Musume, a super-genius who moved and shocked everyone by overcoming three fractures to achieve a miraculous comeback!
But!
Touching stories, dreams, miracles? Those are treasures for bright-eyed youths—not the cold, harsh world of adults.
For the unscrupulous doctor Lin Anran, the real focus was on one thing—[Three Fractures]!
That meant this super-genius, capable of winning G1 races and raking in massive prize money, might get injured again.
Though it's a bit wicked to think this way… With Tokai Teio's running style, she might just become a repeat customer!
Lin Anran had been playing the long game in America, hoping to snag a top-tier racehorse girl who could win major stakes—but he hadn't even seen a G2 or G3-level talent.
And now, on his very first day in Japan, he ran into Tokai Teio, a champion capable of winning the highest-tier G1 races!
This wasn't just any racehorse girl—this was the golden goose he'd been waiting for!
With the mindset that the customer is God, Lin Anran gazed at Tokai Teio with burning enthusiasm.
Putting on his most professional face, the shady doctor motioned for her to step forward.
The petite girl, Tokai Teio, nodded lightly and limped closer, a glimmer of hope in her heart.
'Is this the overseas doctor President mentioned…?'
'I wonder if he's better than the others… Can he really heal my leg?'
Truthfully, she didn't have high expectations. She'd already consulted numerous doctors—some internationally renowned, even treating foreign racehorse girls.
But even the best had given her the same verdict: a six-month recovery period!
And after that, she'd need even more time to regain her form. That meant at least half a year without racing.
Half a year—what did that even mean?
Most racehorse girls only had careers lasting two to three years! Six months would cut out a quarter of her prime!
No racehorse girl, no matter how tough, could calmly accept that.
So when Teio heard that the student council president she idolized, Symboli Rudolf, had mentioned an interesting overseas doctor joining Tracen Academy, she rushed over immediately.
Even if it just shaved off one month of recovery time, she'd take it!
"During the recent Spring Tenno Sho… I lost to Mejiro McQueen, and after the race, I felt…"
"My leg…"
Sitting before Lin Anran, Teio pulled out her medical reports and began explaining her condition with a hint of resignation.
A moment later.
After assessing her injuries, Lin Anran's expression turned serious.
'As a shady doctor, yeah, I'm greedy—but I still gotta actually treat my patients.'
'If I can't even heal them, then I'm just a scammer, not a proper money-grubbing doctor.'
Facing his first big-money client, Lin Anran got serious.
'No surprise… Japan's top racehorse girl coming to a newbie doctor? Her injuries must be bad.'
'This fracture could end her career. Even veteran doctors can't fix it—it's beyond my [Basic Treatment] skills.'
But… he still had one "trial card" left!
When he first unlocked his system, he'd gotten a one-time use of [Intermediate Treatment]. He'd never used it.
The small-time racehorse girls he'd befriended in America—Secretariat, Ruffian, Dahlia—might've been lacking in talent and speed, but their legs were healthy.
Thanks to Lin Anran's careful care, they'd never suffered major injuries—nothing his [Basic Treatment] couldn't handle.
But Tokai Teio's fracture? Major. Only [Intermediate Treatment] could fix this.
No question—Teio, a G1-winning prodigy, was the perfect candidate for that one-time ability!
"To be blunt, Teio… your injury is severe."
"The road to recovery will be tough. Very tough."
Lin Anran laid it on thick, playing up the difficulty.
Instantly, the hope on the innocent girl's face froze—even though she'd expected this answer.
"Uu… I understand. If there's no way—"
"Who said there's no way?"
After crushing her expectations, Lin Anran pivoted, dropping hints.
"It's just… the treatment is extremely difficult. It'll take a lot out of me."
"I can only do it once in the near future."
He then put on a conflicted, troubled expression, letting the stunned Teio stare at him.
But in truth?
He'd already decided—he was fixing her, no matter what!
'This is Teio post-Spring Tenno Sho… meaning her second fracture.'
'Right now, she's already a legend in Japan. The prize money she's won must be insane!'
'Healing her means big cash, plus reputation. More big clients will come knocking.'
And even if no other top-tier clients appeared… with Teio's running style?
'Heh. A repeat customer? A third fracture isn't out of the question.'
So Lin Anran saw zero reason not to treat her—even if it meant burning his precious one-time ability.
Meanwhile, Teio's heart leaped at his words. She nearly jumped up in excitement—
—only for the pain in her leg to force her back down. The petite girl looked up, her voice trembling slightly.
"R-Really? You can heal me?"
"Please! I'll do anything!"
Perfect.
That was exactly what Lin Anran wanted to hear.
He swiftly moved on to discussing the medical fees.
"The treatment cost… might be a bit high."
"Specifically—"
He quoted a hefty sum.
But to his surprise, Teio didn't hesitate—nodding eagerly like a chick pecking at rice.
Having already won so many races, Teio cared far more about victory than mere prize money or medical bills.
Plus, her sharp intuition picked up something—this reliable young doctor seemed… fond of money?
If so, this was easy!
Teio lightly patted her thigh and looked up with determination.
"I've heard some elite racehorse girls have exclusive deals with top doctors—not just paying high fees, but even offering a percentage of prize money as incentive."
"Dr. Lin, if you can really heal my leg… I'll give you 10% of my next race's earnings."
"Rewards motivate the brave." Everyone knew that.
If trainers could get a cut of their racehorse girls' winnings, why not the best doctors—the ones who could extend their careers?
"Now that's interesting—!"
Teio's offer fully won Lin Anran over.
Secretariat, Ruffian, Dahlia—those small-timers' promises of profit-sharing meant nothing. They'd never win big.
But Tokai Teio? A G1-winning genius?
The better he healed her, the more she'd win—and the more post-victory fees he'd rake in!
Without missing a beat, the shady doctor activated his system, locking onto the hopeful Teio—
—and used his one-time [Intermediate Treatment].
Instantly, new text appeared before him:
[Intermediate Treatment Target: Tokai Teio (Treatable)]
[Select Treatment Method (Can Mix): Acupuncture, Surgery, Medication…]
[Recovery Period: 1 Day, 3 Days, 1 Week, 2 Weeks, 1 Month…]
Simple, brutal, and clear. Lin Anran's eyes lit up.
Perfect.
Even just medication could heal Teio's fracture? Unbelievable—but Lin Anran didn't care.
This was the world of Uma Musume, where the legendary Three Goddesses existed. The impossible was normal here.
Compared to that, he was just a slightly unconventional doctor with good skills.
As long as the money rolled in, nothing else mattered.
He'd been a little worried—what if healing a major injury instantly seemed too sci-fi?
But with options for treatment methods and timeframes, he could play it safe.
By mixing methods and stretching the recovery period, he could fool a racehorse girl too focused on training to question it.
He quickly made his selections:
[Treatment Plan (Mixed): Acupuncture + Medication]
[Recovery Period: 2 Weeks]
Instantly, his mind flooded with knowledge.
A fracture so severe that no doctor in Japan could fix it quickly?
For him now—child's play!
Confidence surging, Lin Anran smiled and gestured to the bed.
"I won't waste your generous fees, Teio."
"Now, please lie down."
Somehow, he was already holding acupuncture needles.
The cold, sharp tools glinted in his grip. Teio's eyes widened—gulp.
But for the sake of recovery, she swallowed her fear and lay down.
"U-Um… I have a fracture, right? Are the needles… a mistake?"
No response.
The shady doctor, already envisioning mountains of cash, was fully focused.
And so—
"GYAAAAAH—!!"
The unbeaten dual-crown champion, Japan's top racehorse girl, let out a shriek in the clinic.

Afternoon, Student Council Office.
A tall, composed brunette with a white crescent-shaped forelock sat at the desk—exuding the aura of an emperor.
This was Symboli Rudolf, Japan's strongest racehorse girl in history. After retiring, she'd become student council president, dedicating herself to nurturing the next generation.
Tokai Teio was her chosen successor—but a fracture had shattered Teio's dream of an unbeaten triple crown.
Worse, after recovering, she'd fractured again after the Spring Tenno Sho.
With injuries this severe, the public believed Teio's career was over.
Yet now, Teio stood before her—walking normally—claiming she was already partially healed?
"Hah?"
"That Dr. Lin who just arrived this morning… can heal you?"
"And in just a few hours, your leg's already better?"
Even Rudolf was stunned.
"Mhm~ Just wait, President. I'll surprise you in my next race!"
Teio grinned. No one knew her body better than her—and her legs were improving.
"This is incredible. You might even make the Takarazuka Kinen or Autumn Tenno Sho."
"That Dr. Lin really is skilled… No wonder those American monsters spoke so highly of him."
Rudolf paused, then stood.
"Rest properly, Teio. Don't rush back to training. I have something to attend to."
"Eh? What is it?"
"This year's Triple Crown—the second leg, the Derby, is coming up. Those kids got crushed by Tachyon…"
"I need to check on Jungle Pocket and Manhattan Cafe. They need motivation."
Teio's expression shifted slightly—as if recalling something.
"Tachyon, huh… She's terrifying. Won the first crown like it was nothing."
"For a monster like her, the Triple Crown might be easy."
"Unless something unexpected happens—"
--+--
Dorm Room.
The shady doctor stared at his phone—at the payment notification from Teio.
The amount was beautiful.
Once she fully recovered and raced again? More money. Plus, his reputation would skyrocket—clients would come flocking!
"First day in Japan, and I'm already rolling in cash."
"Compared to those American small-timers… this place has real potential."
After a moment of satisfaction, he walked to the mirror.
Teio's fees were nice, but he wanted more.
Medical bills couldn't compare to full prize money, right?
With money on his mind, he made a decision.
"Alright… time to transform."
Flash!
In an instant, a petite white-haired girl stood in his place—
Platinum, the Sniper!
She looked exactly like her in-game art—even carrying her bow!
"Wait, why do I have a bow for a horse race?!"
After a brief pause, Platinum examined herself.
Her legs brimmed with power.
And gripping her bow—somehow, it felt right.
Even if she knew this was a racing world… where weapons were pointless.
Because here, her legs were her weapons!
With these powerful limbs, she could thrive—and earn endless prize money!
"Ha~"
"This world… feels surprisingly nice."
Her voice was soft, lazy—yet carried a hint of excitement.
"So… will things get fun from here?~"
The lazy Kuranta girl planned to debut fast—and win faster.
