I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

The problem is that even so, once the Symbolists hear that he might be Rudolf's symbolic contact, they will definitely pay attention to him.

Given his understanding of the Symbolist family's style, it's hard to say what might happen then...

After all, that's a symbol!

Although Rudolph repeatedly assured that this would not affect his life, she would immediately come forward to clarify if someone from the symbolic family really came.

And if it really has a negative impact on him, or if she comes to his door in private, he can tell her the truth directly, and she will help him resolve the rest.

However, Shinji Kitahara still felt uneasy. After much consideration, he returned to his dormitory and, unusually, contacted the grumpy senior horse girl about something other than hunting horse girls, and recounted what had happened.

They also expressed their hope that the other party could provide some assistance if the situation became critical.

Extremely rare, after receiving his message, the senior woman neither scolded him nor immediately replied. Instead, she waited a long time after the message was marked as 'read' before indicating that she needed to think about it.

It's not surprising that Shinji Kitahara did so.

After all, in recent years, thanks to Rudolf's undefeated treble and seven overall titles, the team has developed very rapidly.

The original Symbol Family was a first-class family on par with several other horse-themed families, and after years of development, it has become the only T0 family.

Although he knew that the senior horse lady's identity was definitely not simple, he would definitely have to think twice about going into conflict with the currently powerful Symbol family for his sake.

After all, no matter how good her relationship with him was, she must have family members, and she had to consider things like family interests, right?

Furthermore, although the senior woman didn't explicitly say she was willing to help, she did suggest that if he wanted, she could send someone to Treson to pick him up and let him hide at her place for a while.

However, Shinji Kitahara refused.

While he was indeed a little worried about being targeted by the Symbolists, it wasn't enough to be so frightened that he couldn't continue his daily life.

Moreover, while the symbol family poses a unique threat, it doesn't mean that other horse girl families are safe.

After all, even now, he still hasn't been able to determine which important family that senior, Ma Niang, belongs to.

If I agree to her request, I should be able to avoid the Symbolist family's attention.

But who knows, when he opens his eyes, he might find himself standing before several young ladies of the Mejiro family, or even Hikari Satomi...

As for Kitahara Shinji's refusal, the senior female horse girl agreed with unusually quick acceptance.

And it's not just about the quick agreement.

For some reason, Shinji Kitahara felt that after he refused, the old woman not only wasn't angry, but even the words she typed seemed to exude a sense of pleasure.

It must be an illusion, right?

After all, how could text typed on a keyboard and displayed on a cold screen possibly convey a sense of joy?

As for how his relationship with Rudolf Symbol developed after he learned about this...

The answer is no change.

Because no changes are needed.

After all, they didn't have that kind of relationship.

Moreover, they would occasionally gather together to watch the East Sea Emperor's training and exchange ideas on the East Sea Emperor and how to get along with children.

They weren't even dating; they had the feel of an old married couple, which could easily fool those spies who were supposed to be family.

As for whether this interaction can deceive the symbolic head of the family...

This is a matter of opinion.

As for the interaction between Rudolf and Shinji Kitahara, what did the other members of Shinji Kitahara's team think...?

Because there were no overly intimate gestures, just ordinary conversations, and they never minded if others eavesdropped or even joined in.

Their open and honest behavior, coupled with the fact that their conversations revolved around the Emperor of the East Sea, showed no sign of any romantic feelings between them.

So even though the atmosphere between the two seemed a bit strange, they just took it as a normal exchange between a trainer and a senior who had high hopes for his junior, and didn't worry too much.

Moreover, after all, they are the undefeated champions with seven titles, and now Treson Academy is the face of the nation.

Surely someone like that wouldn't stoop to competing with these younger trainers for men, especially given the increasing scarcity of trainers these days?

As for the Emperor of the East Sea, although he initially felt somewhat emotional because the two were standing too close together.

But now, as time goes by, and knowing that the two of them have been talking about her, the feeling of being valued and cared for makes her steps a little lighter.

Furthermore, after hearing that the original chairman was going to change his mind, it was after Shinji Kitahara's persuasion.

She even changed into the winning outfit that Shinji Kitahara had given her, and every time she went to chat with Shinji Kitahara at Rudolf's symbol, she would deliberately run around near the two of them, just like a child showing off her hard work to her parents.

"To be honest, when I see the three of them together, I always get the illusion that they are a family of three interacting." — This is the comment from a woman who wished to remain anonymous.

And, incidentally...

With the arrival of the Emperor of the East Sea, Shinji Kitahara's dormitory now has several more game consoles.

Well, kids will naturally like playing games.

Especially since Shinji Kitahara's side has a lot of people, they can always gather enough people to play the kind of games that require several people, or even ten or more.

Of course, while they were supposed to be relaxed, Shinji Kitahara strictly limited their playtime, taking into account their studies and running.

Especially the emperor of the East Sea.

This girl has a history of staying up all night playing games with her roommate, who is also a little princess in a sense, resulting in insufficient sleep and almost being unable to continue training the next day. Therefore, Shinji Kitahara is paying special attention to her.

"Even Heavy Cannon (Donghai Emperor's roommate) might not debut next year. They haven't even found trainers yet. She can stay up all night, can you?"

Faced with Kitahara Shinji's exasperated reprimand, the Emperor of the East Sea obediently lowered his head, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.

However, because of the strict time restrictions, there were occasional situations where he couldn't get enough girls in his dorm to play games together.

Then, after thinking it over, their gazes all turned to Shinji Kitahara.

Shinji Kitahara didn't care, since he was free anyway.

However, three days after this suggestion was made, even if the game needed more players, the female players wouldn't contact him again.

As for the reason...

Games that can accommodate so many people playing together are usually competitive games.

As mentioned earlier, Shinji Kitahara, despite being limited by his physical body, is significantly weaker than Uma Musume in terms of strength.

However, in terms of nerves, reaction time, and stamina, even the top female horse riders are quite different from him.

In addition, his focused personality and exceptional learning ability meant that after just three days of exploration, the horse girls he was facing began to have no gaming experience at all.

As for releasing water?

That's impossible.

Putting aside Shinji Kitahara's serious personality in everything he does.

It's because he's not serious. Going easy on someone is a great way to increase their favorability. He'd have to be stupid to go easy on someone.

Even though no one wanted to play with him anymore, the game was indeed quite fun, and it was the most popular game in society at the time, with many trainers playing it.

So now, when he has free time, he occasionally plays a couple of rounds of games, so that he can have more common topics to talk about with other trainers when chatting in the group.

Furthermore, due to its exceptionally sharp gameplay, it rarely goes online.

However, he still managed to reach a very high ranking through a series of consecutive wins, and in the process, he also gained a little apprentice with the online name 'Grasp the Victory'.

No, calling him an apprentice isn't quite right, because he didn't teach the other person anything. He just occasionally logged on, and if the other person was online, they would invite him directly, and then he would get beaten up.

Furthermore, Shinji Kitahara wasn't worried that the other party might be a horse girl or something.

Although he rarely initiates conversations with the other party, the other party enjoys chatting with him.

Furthermore, her conversations revolved around topics currently popular among boys, and she even mentioned once that she was saving money to buy a motorcycle. This doesn't seem like something a female horse girl would say, especially not something a female horse girl from Treson would say.

Besides, he has been in time for more than ten years.

Although he had been deliberately memorizing it, he still remembered most of the information about Ma Niang.

But more than a decade has passed, so some forgetting is inevitable.

So, even though Shinji Kitahara felt that these things sounded somewhat familiar.

But since I couldn't remember, I didn't dwell on it and quickly put it out of my mind.

After confirming that he wouldn't be making any moves regarding the Symbol family or the Black Forest, Shinji Kitahara began adjusting his pre-match plans for Alice.

Check her recovery progress and confirm the current safe maximum exertion...

Based on changes in the body, further adjustments will be made to the existing running method, along with some specially customized, targeted training...

After doing all that, a few more days passed peacefully, and then came the day of Elise's competition.

Hokkaido, Sapporo.

Although it was only an OP-level event and not a high-stakes tournament, its scale was much smaller compared to the previous G1 event hosted by Ali Digital.

However, the venue was still packed with people, with professional commentary and television broadcasts all included.

After all, OP-class races are already official races. Although they are slightly less influential and have less prize money than high-stakes races, they are still a field that only a small number of horse girls can access.

Not to mention, according to URA's regulations, since Alice Soko's debut, all the tournaments she has participated in so far are only five Opening matches and two G3 matches.

Moreover, four of these seven races are short-distance races that don't suit Eliseko's personality, including one of them, G3.

Of the remaining two matches, OP and G3, G3 features a rising star like Donghai Diwang.

Although her health has improved a lot compared to the beginning, there are still some hidden dangers. Moreover, she has not yet started training. In this state, she is definitely no match for the Emperor of the East Sea, so she can only temporarily avoid his sharp edge.

Even so, the newly debuted Uma Musume Girls who are qualified to participate in OP-level competitions at this time are all outstanding among this generation.

After all, there have only been a few official matches so far, so even if those geniuses want to compete in higher-level events, they have nowhere to go.

Another point is that running at full speed puts a tremendous strain on a horse's body.

The more talented a horse girl is, the more she will want to participate in competitions and accumulate points as early as possible, so that she can have enough preparation time for higher-level competitions later.

Therefore, those who can participate at this time are all the best of their generation, and they will definitely be a part of future high-stakes competitions.

With such a concentration of talented individuals, the level of this competition is naturally far superior to the previous unevenly ranked basic competition.

Even before the competition started, Shinji Kitahara could judge them just by looking at their movements and expressions when they entered.

Although these female horse riders are newcomers, even the weakest one, their strength is probably no less than that of the second-place finisher in the basic competition against the East Sea Emperor.

If it were the same Eriko from the basic tournament, Shinji Kitahara probably wouldn't have had much hope of winning against her.

After all, at that time, it was uncertain whether she could even beat the second-place finisher, let alone these opponents.

But now...

Standing in the trainers' special stands, Shinji Kitahara calmly watched Alice walk into the arena, then calmly watched the entire race, and calmly watched Alice win the championship by a margin of two horse lengths.

Although her opponent was stronger and she still couldn't use her full strength, with Shinji Kitahara's help and adjustments, Alice had already developed a level of strength far exceeding what she had when she was training.

Moreover, even this absurd progress was the result of Shinji Kitahara's extreme self-control.

After the match, just like during the basic match, when it was just the two of them, Kitahara Shinji and I sat down in the activity room and slowly raised our legs.

Upon seeing this familiar scene, Shinji Kitahara paused for a moment before quickly realizing what was happening.

Goodness, this girl is still thinking about what happened before?

Although he already knew that Alice was vengeful and had teased and provoked him many times in an attempt to get revenge, he really didn't expect that she hadn't gotten over this matter yet.

But it doesn't matter, after all, it's just taking off your shoes.

He also knew that she wanted to give him the shoes in this way, so he readily agreed and went over.

However, unlike last time, after this period of treatment, Alice's condition has improved considerably.

In addition, this wasn't the first time Kitahara Shinji had touched her legs; he had massaged them many times before when helping with her care. So, he didn't lose control like last time and simply helped her take off her shoes normally.

However, just as he took off his second shoe and was about to get a new shoe to help her put it on...

With a wag of its tail, its graceful legs quietly came together, its small ankles moving slightly, and it somewhat awkwardly clamped its hands together.

Then, after a moment of stiffness and pause, the legs moved again, gently rubbing against the warm palm trapped between them.

The movements were very clumsy, stiff, and even a bit hesitant.

But there's a reason why the winning outfit is so expensive. Even if it's just a pair of black stockings that looks no different from other stockings, the feel of it is extremely wonderful.

As for the awkwardness and stiffness of the movements, although they lack a bit of enjoyment compared to those of skilled performers, they are actually more alluring when combined with the earnest look, possessing a unique beauty of youthful innocence.

After being treated this way, Shinji Kitahara paused for a moment, then looked up at Alice, who had a playful expression on her face.
