Agnes Tachyon is Absolutely Way Stronger Than That "Big Red" Trash!
What kid cries every day? What gambler loses every time?
Sure, he'd lost his bets on that bunch of American scrubs—Big Red and her crew—but the scheming young doctor was certain that this time, with Agnes Tachyon, he'd hit the jackpot!
If he just settled for medical fees, how much could he really earn?
Tendonitis was an incurable disease. If he couldn't pull off a perfect treatment—if all he did was dull the pain—then forget about squeezing out a fat stack of gold coins.
No matter how high the medical bills got, they'd never compare to the prize money split from a G1 champion horse girl.
And Agnes Tachyon? She was brimming with potential—and gold. Treating her like some ordinary patient and settling for scraps? What a waste!
If he didn't earn big, then it was a loss!
To avoid that, Lin Anran doubled down on his gamble. The same "long game" he'd started back in America—luring in the big fish—he now played with Agnes Tachyon.
That's why he'd voluntarily given up what seemed like decent medical fees—because what he really wanted was a cut of Agnes Tachyon's future race earnings once she recovered and returned to the track!
Just like before, he treated her with the same warmth and enthusiasm he'd once showered on Big Red, Ruffian, Dahlia, and Sea the Stars—smoothly transferring his tactics to Agnes Tachyon.
In other words—
Back then, Lin Anran had charmed those American fillies with kindness, slowly breaking down their defenses until they grew attached, reluctant to let him go.
He'd cast his net wide, "showering affection equally" on every horse girl he met.
But alas, luck wasn't on his side. None of them had coughed up the gold he'd hoped for.
And when he realized that Big Red—the strongest of those scrubs—couldn't even win her debut race, his grand fishing expedition seemed doomed to fail…
Gritting his teeth, he made a choice: retreat to Japan, conquer the Triple Crown, hone his skills, and prepare for a new big catch! Before leaving, he made an impossible "promise of strength" with them—then vanished.
And now? That long game had begun anew—with treating and comforting Agnes Tachyon.
His plan was already halfway to success. She'd agreed to pay him with a share of her future race earnings.
Now, all that was left was the other half: mastering his skills by completing the Irregular Triple Crown.
He'd reverse his failures with those American fillies. This time, with Tokai Teio and Agnes Tachyon, he'd rake in the gold!
Just thinking about that bright future made Lin Anran's face light up with anticipation.
"Keh keh keh!"
He couldn't help but let out the sinister chuckle of a Soul Palace elder, echoing through the infirmary.
Sure, giving up those medical fees—playing the long con—hurt.
On the surface, he was calm. But inside? He was bleeding. Still, no pain, no gain!
Lin Anran was convinced—once his transformed self, Platinum, dominated the Irregular Triple Crown…
Even the dreaded tendonitis could be fully cured, and the rewards would be massive.
By then, even the seemingly unhinged Agnes Tachyon would be so moved, she'd probably give him anything he wanted, right?
"For now, all I need is to win the first leg of the Irregular Triple Crown—the Oaks!"
"Then I'll rake in a fat share of G1 prize money AND level up my medical skills!"
The thought made him grin again.
Hell—
Maybe Platinum could sweep the Irregular Triple Crown and take on overseas races!
Then he wouldn't just have fans in Japan—he'd be world-famous! Merchandise sales would skyrocket, and money would never be a problem again!
Sure, it was a distant dream. The odds were slim. But… it was possible.
"I might even run into Big Red, Dahlia, Ruffian, and Sea the Stars again."
"But overseas is still far off. Let's add it to the long-term plan for now."
Finally, Lin Anran closed the document on his computer.
No doubt about it—Platinum had what it took to win the highest-tier G1 races!
But how many G1s could she take? That was unclear. Without real races, it was impossible to judge.
Even among elite horse girls, there were levels.
Winning one or two G1s made you a standout of your generation.
Three or four? Then you were the undisputed king of that era, unforgettable to fans.
More than five? That was legend territory—a name etched in the Hall of Fame, a dominant force across generations, remembered for decades.
And that was the level where overseas conquests became possible—where you could aim for global glory!
Lin Anran believed his transformed Kuranta girl, Platinum, had the potential to rival Symboli Rudolf herself—surpassing five G1 wins.
So in the future… overseas was a real possibility.
"Dahlia in Europe, Ruffian and Big Red in America…"
And what other fillies had he scouted overseas? Lin Anran had cast his net so wide, he couldn't even remember them all.
Well, he'd meet them again eventually. Maybe even race them?
"But first—the opening G1 race."
"Mejiro Dober won't be an easy opponent. I'd better be careful!"

Time flew.
On the day of the Oaks, the gates were swarmed—fans packed in to witness this intense leg of the Filly Triple Crown.
After Agnes Tachyon's withdrawal from the Japan Derby, many had mourned the loss, dubbing her the "Phantom Triple Crown" contender.
Now, the URA was pushing the Oaks hard, trying to overshadow the disappointment of her injury.
If their last two "chosen ones" had fallen, then they'd just make a third.
So this Oaks had everyone's attention. The crowd was desperate for a breathtaking race—one that would wash away the past!
And on one of the paths to the racetrack…
A petite, white-haired girl stifled a yawn as she walked, eyes glued to her phone.
On the screen was a headline:
[The Arrogant Challenger Platinum Aims for Oaks Victory!]
Looks like some people didn't have much faith in the Pegasus girl, huh?
