Gold Ship's race was over, and Koichi naturally took a few days off as well.
Of course.
He had not been idle during those days. Every day, he went to watch Epiphaneia's morning and afternoon training.
Over the past few months, Epiphaneia had improved considerably in every area.
The only thing that had not changed was his temperament.
He was far too competitive.
Of course, he had also successfully inherited Symboli Kris S's and Special Week's strengths.

Come on, then.
"That's enough, you two..."
Koichi immediately activated his skill.
Calming!
One was the boss of the stable, and the
