After spending the night with the Gold Ship Family, Anjing Zhen and Kitasan Black enjoyed another lavish breakfast carefully prepared by Imanami Takatoshi.
At the table, the Horse Girls chatted and laughed as they reminisced about the fun they had the night before. Wang Ziding had also cast off yesterday's nervousness and worries, a relaxed smile blooming on her face as she occasionally exchanged a few words with Kitasan Black.
After breakfast, Imanami Takatoshi led the others in seeing Anjing Zhen and Kitasan Black to the door. Anjing Zhen gave a slight bow.
Brimming with gratitude, he said, "Senior Imanami, thank you for your warm hospitality during our visit. We gained so much from this trip. We truly appreciate it."
Kitasan Black also bowed respectfully beside him. "That's right, Grandpa Iminami, and all of you seniors.
"I learned so much being with everyone, and I really had a wonderful time!"
Imanami Takatoshi smiled kindly and waved his hand. "Not at all. I'm delighted you came. I hope you'll visit often in the future. And Little Kita, keep giving it your all on the track."
Gold Artisan stepped forward and patted Kitasan Black on the shoulder. "Little Kita, train hard once you're back. I'm looking forward to seeing how you perform on the track."
Gold Ship, meanwhile, threw an arm around Kitasan Black's shoulders and laughed. "Little Kita, don't forget our promise! If you win a race someday, you have to treat me to something tasty!" The other Horse Girls also offered their blessings, bidding farewell to Kitasan Black and Anjing Zhen one by one.
After saying goodbye to Imanami Takatoshi and the others, Anjing Zhen and Kitasan Black resumed their schedule of guiding Little Anzu's training. This was the most important matter for this period of time.
