I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

"Settle down."

So on Sunday, Ning Jing scoffed and left.

After feeling the eerie atmosphere around him leave, the Emperor of the East Sea slowly stopped trembling, and the trembling gradually slid down Kitahara Shinji's face.

Shinji Kitahara breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her finally leave.

After all, given the state and actions of the East Sea Emperor just now, if Zhou Ri Ningjing had scared her a few more times, who knows what might have happened.

After calming down the Emperor of the East Sea, Kitahara Shinji called Zhou Ri Ningjing over and had the Emperor of the East Sea take the initiative to approach her, gradually letting her get used to the presence of this 'friend'.

"Hey, Trainer, you actually managed to encounter a ghost...?"

After getting used to it a little, the Emperor of the East Sea finally realized what had happened.

Faced with her question, Kitahara Shinji sighed helplessly, then reached out and flicked Zhou Ri Ningjing's forehead, who was still trying to scare the East Sea Emperor, before speaking.

"Ah, I guess it's just bad luck."

Then, it was time for Necha's care. After watching Necha and the Eclipse's care, the East Sea Emperor, like the previous victims, showed the same curious expression.

Then, seeing the curiosity in her eyes, her teammates all gave her strange smiles and began to urge her to try it.

Something feels off...

Although I felt that my teammates around me were laughing in a strange way, even a little scary.

But the thought of having the opportunity to get close to trainer Sang made the East Sea Emperor unable to resist the temptation, and he lay down on the nursing bed.

Then......

Then there is no more.

Despite Shinji Kitahara's repeated attempts to hold back, the performance of the Tokai Emperor was even worse than that of Special Zhou Du. They surrendered after only five minutes and were given a towel.

After about fifteen minutes, I lost consciousness, and then spent the rest of the time unconscious.

As for Oguri Hat on the other side, she wasn't spared either. She'd already been tricked by various horse girls into getting on Kitahara Shinji's nursing bed, and then...

And that was the end of it.

However, unlike the East Sea Emperor, Oguri Hat held on for a full twenty minutes at the lowest setting before the towel was stuffed into his mouth, and he did not lose consciousness.

Moreover, when the towel was taken out afterwards, it was discovered that she almost ate it, and during the treatment, she even tried to lick Kitahara Shinji's fingers as he applied the medicine, as if she wanted to taste what the medicine on his hand tasted like.

However, although she lasted longer and did not lose consciousness at the end, this does not mean that Oguri Hattori performed better than Kusa-san.

Because when he was pressing the grass lady, Shinji Kitahara hadn't quite figured out the average horse girl's endurance, so he had to exert much more effort than later.

Therefore, as of now, Ms. Cao still holds the top spot in this regard, except for the topic of solar eclipses.

As for Alice...

She was scared.

After all, she was already like that just from having her legs massaged; if they were to massage her whole body, she'd probably just die on the spot.

However, she also said that as long as she drank "that medicine," she could be pinched however she wanted.

Shinji Kitahara, of course, would never agree to her suggestion.

After all, she was in such a bad state after taking the medicine and having her legs pinched. If she were to receive a full-body treatment, she would probably be pinned to the ground and made to jump on the spot.

In short, under these circumstances, the Emperor of the East Sea joined the training camp and fully enjoyed the fun of playing with others.

As for trainer Sang?

Just like before, unless they can reach an agreement now and jump on him together, they can forget about the rest.

Besides the Emperor of the East Sea, the work plan on Tamamo Cross's side is also progressing very smoothly.

After Kitahara Shinji explained the situation of Tamamo Cross, the elderly Uma Musume's eyes lit up.

Leaving aside the fact that she is sensible, obedient, and has strong practical skills.

The "normal person" attribute is what the elderly horse lady likes the most.

It wasn't that she disapproved of Treson's behavior, but rather that she was very interested in seeing how such a normal girl would be turned abnormal by Kitahara Shinji.

In the past, the elderly horse lady might not have been so confident.

But ever since Alice Digital fell, her confidence in Kitahara Shinjima Mint's abilities has soared to unprecedented heights.

Forget about the Tamamo Cross, she even suspected that if she hadn't gotten old, she would have fallen for him when she was younger.

Moreover, after seeing the Tamamo Cross with her own eyes, the light in her eyes shone even brighter.

They're elderly people.

Even if someone has a terrible personality when they're young, they'll generally like children when they get old.

In fact, Tamamo Cross possesses a maturity and understanding that belies her appearance. She is cheerful, reliable, and easy to get along with, which makes her even more appealing to the elderly.

So, on the second day after Kitahara Shinji took her there, Tamamo Cross became the elderly horse girl's assistant and began to help with the work.

As for her salary, the elderly woman only said it would be based on her performance, without specifying the exact amount.

Tamamo Cross, having been introduced to the shop by Kitahara Shinji, trusted the elderly woman very much and readily agreed, further enhancing her already good impression of Tamamo Cross.

Even afterward, Shinji Kitahara and Tamamo Cross continued to maintain contact.

After all, it was a rare opportunity to meet a normal person in this godforsaken place, and the two of them cherished this hard-won connection.

When they were at the old horse shop, or whenever they met and had free time, they would gather together to complain, making sure that their hearts were not assimilated by this awful place called Treson.

As for the Super Small Bay, Shinji Kitahara thought that after that competition, the two of them would not have any further contact.

Who knew that the defeat in that competition would not discourage her, but instead made her more interested in Shinji Kitahara, and she would often think of asking him to exchange ideas on how to take care of people.

Moreover, during their interactions, Super Little Bay gradually discovered something she had previously overlooked.

That is to say, while Shinji Kitahara is very good at taking care of others, he doesn't seem to be very good at taking care of himself...

However, since Kitahara Shinji was not her trainer, Super Little Bay did not show any impulse after discovering this, and continued to communicate with Kitahara Shinji normally.

As a result, since all parties were unable to take any action for various reasons, Shinji Kitahara continued his peaceful life.

Then, time continued to pass in this tranquility.

Until the agreed-upon time arrives.

Chapter 112: A Lifetime of Deep Regret

In the midst of a peaceful daily routine, it was the end of July.

As summer deepens, the weather is getting hotter day by day.

With the hot weather and the summer training camps that have been held one after another, the number of horse girls and trainers on the training ground has decreased significantly, and their clothing has become increasingly revealing.

The same applies to Shinji Kitahara, of course.

After all, he's not a god, and he can't interfere with things like climate and seasonal changes. He also reduced the training amount of some of his female horses and adjusted the training time to a cooler time of year.

Besides training, he also obtained some folk remedies while wandering around various places.

A refreshing drink that invigorates the mind, protects against sunburn and tanning, and replenishes energy...

There are all kinds.

For various reasons, apart from giving them plans and improving their running techniques, he has basically not fulfilled his duties as a trainer.

Furthermore, with the Black Forest framework recently completed, Grasshopper can manage it all by himself, and there's no need for Alice Digital to get involved anymore, so there's even less need for him.

So during this period, Shinji Kitahara did absolutely nothing.

I just spend my days scrolling through my phone and browsing forums, completing the training targets set by the Eclipse in my spare time, and occasionally taking care of my internal organs. That's about it.

So, when he was really bored, he remembered the secret recipes he had learned before, and coincidentally, he also had some money on hand.

He started experimenting with making and researching, and then distributed the finished products to his own horse girls and other trainers he was familiar with, asking them to taste and try them out. They received unanimous praise.

Unlike Elizabeth's potions, his secret recipes were all learned from elsewhere, time-honored techniques.

While its effects certainly weren't as outrageous as Alice's potions, it had no side effects and was very popular as soon as it was launched. Some people even wanted to contact him and offer a large sum of money and a share of the profits to buy these secret formulas privately.

But Shinji Kitahara refused.

It's not that he didn't want to sell them, but rather that he learned these secret recipes from others.

Moreover, many of these items were passed down privately in other people's homes or were their family's secrets, which they only brought out because they were trusted.

He'd be fine making things for his friends in private, but he'd never actually sell them for money.

Then, in this calm, Sunday arrived.

Having lived in Shinji Kitahara's dormitory for quite some time, they now have a certain understanding of Shinji Kitahara's habits and routines.

I know he likes to sleep in on weekends, and after waking up, he'll wash up and eat quickly, but then he'll start fiddling with things that interest him without even bothering to look presentable.

Shinji Kitahara felt that a poor image would help lower his standing in their eyes.

However, the female horse riders felt that he had a unique charm in private, so even Necha didn't try to stop him.

But today, things didn't go as the horse girls had expected.

Amidst their astonished gazes, Shinji Kitahara got up early and, unusually, took the time to wash and groom himself.

After finishing his grooming, he took out a custom-made suit from his wardrobe that he had only worn once before, on the day he attended the AILI Digital G1 competition, and put it on himself very solemnly.

This is......

A sense of foreboding arose in my heart, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became strange.

"Um, Trainer-san."

The Emperor of the East Sea spoke first, feigning indifference as he inquired.

Are you going out?

"Ah."

Shinji Kitahara nodded and answered casually.

"Didn't I tell you before? I'm going out this Sunday to help trainer Xiaoyouyi with some things. I should be back this afternoon if nothing unexpected happens."

"What's up? Can we come along? We'd like to go out and have some fun too."

"I would like to take you with me, but today's matter is somewhat similar to discussing a contract with a client, so it would be inappropriate to take you along."

Hearing Kitahara Shinji's seemingly reasonable explanation, the women's unease did not subside; instead, their gazes became even more suspicious.

A client? What client? And even if this person were going to see a client, would they dress up this meticulously?

And that little girl, has she been contacting her trainer a little too frequently lately?

And it's Sunday! A man and a woman going out to run errands, even if they're really running errands, what's the difference between that and a date?

The thought of Treson's past scandalous affair with another trainer only intensified his unease.

The problem is, given the current situation, they can't find a good reason to stop it.

After all, it's a well-known fact that Shinji Kitahara is a blockhead.

Everyone basically knows that he doesn't have those kinds of feelings for them and only sees them as children, so no one has the right to stop him from going out with his colleagues for legitimate reasons.

So, despite the increasingly strange atmosphere inside the room, no one offered any opinion on the matter until the very end, and could only silently watch as Kitahara Shinji, whose condition was clearly off, left the room.

Then, the moment Kitahara Shinji stepped out, all the horse girls inside stopped moving.

A moment later, they sat around the coffee table, and the atmosphere gradually became heavy in the silence.

After a long silence, the Emperor of the East Sea spoke first.

"What do you think Trainer Sang went out to do?"

Dating.

The word flashed through the minds of the female horses for a moment, but was rejected the next second.

If he had been capable of going on dates, they wouldn't have nearly been injured or killed in the process.

But they soon realized that although Shinji Kitahara wouldn't have such thoughts, he might not even realize he'd been asked out.

But precisely because of this, the other party might be taking advantage of this blind spot to lure their trainers out on dates without them even realizing it...

Based on their understanding of him, this was absolutely possible.
