I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

But that's a long time from now.

Even if Eclipse agreed to his request now, he couldn't possibly agree to it immediately.

Not to mention she refused, so these are all things that don't need to be considered right now.

So what does Shinji Kitahara need to consider now?

The answer is the blue-haired horse girl who is watching him from the edge of the training field not far away.

Mejiro Aldan.

Shinji Kitahara had mentioned earlier, when he was chatting with Yuichi at the izakaya, that he had already noticed the existence of Meguro Ardan.

He also noticed that the other party not only did not actively seek him out, but was also deliberately hiding their presence. If it weren't for his strong counter-surveillance skills, he might not have noticed the other party at all.

Furthermore, after observing her for a while, he also discovered that she wasn't just looking at him; sometimes she would also look at the female horses running on the training field, her eyes filled with envy and longing.

To be honest, if it were any other horse girl, Shinji Kitahara would have rushed up to her and asked if she was alright.

As for Megumi Ardan, it wasn't that he didn't want to help her.

The problem is, her surname is Meguro.

When I was chatting with Xiaoya before, he said that he also wanted to help Meguro Ardan, but if something went wrong during the treatment, things would probably become troublesome.

But that's not all.

In contrast to the Symbolist family, the Mejiro family is known for its relaxed family atmosphere and mild-mannered approach to life.

So even if something went wrong during his treatment and Meguro Aldan's condition worsened, although he certainly wouldn't be doing well, he definitely wouldn't be sunk into Tokyo Bay. Most likely, he would just be kicked out and that would be the end of it.

But all of this is predicated on the treatment going wrong and ultimately failing.

And if nothing goes wrong, he really does cure Ardan...

Then Tama is even more doomed!

Your treatment went wrong and failed; the Meguro family had anticipated this.

After all, the entire Meguro family had tried their best but failed to solve this problem, so although they would definitely be disappointed if he couldn't solve it, they wouldn't blame him too much.

But if, by some chance, he really does cure her, then, faced with a trainer who can solve a problem that the entire Meguro family couldn't even solve together, would the Meguro family let him go?

Furthermore, the Mejiro family's style of doing things is relatively mild compared to other families.

If she really had feelings for him, she probably wouldn't be like that hot-tempered family next door, who would start by trying to force him into a basement or something.

If it comes down to a direct confrontation, Shinji Kitahara isn't actually that afraid, since he himself has some fighting ability, and there's also the Eclipse, an existence beyond the ordinary.

But if we go for a softer approach...

Shinji Kitahara is quite aware of his own willpower.

He might not even be able to resist the cuteness of a few of the little pony girls in the team, let alone the Mejiro family.

So he's really torn right now.

If you ask him if he wants to help Ardan, he definitely will.

But if you ask him whether he dares to help Ardan, then that's hard to say.

After much thought, all he could do now was pretend he didn't notice her and continue slacking off on the training field as before...

and many more.

Just as he took out his phone, Shinji Kitahara suddenly realized something was wrong.

Wait a minute, it's already early September, people are already on holiday!

Although the Game 3 match scheduled for Necha is in two days, he has already completed all the pre-match preparations for her. The last day is for relaxation, which means he has no reason to come to the training ground.

However, despite having these thoughts, Shinji Kitahara did not turn around and leave immediately. Instead, he spent another day setting up his equipment at the training ground.

Then at the end of the day, he called everyone over and announced his decision to spend the next month lying in his dorm room.

If this had happened before, the horse women probably wouldn't have agreed to his decision.

After all, if he doesn't come to the training ground, there will be less time to interact with him.

The problem is that because of the incident with the Elixir, they can't even get close to him, and their bodies react when they just glance at him, which even affects their training.

In this situation, the idea of ​​letting him go back to his dormitory for a few days to calm down was indeed a suitable solution, so no one objected to his plan.

Seeing how readily they agreed, Shinji Kitahara became even more certain of his previous guess.

Think about it, his suggestion, coupled with the fact that he hasn't added any of the female fans on Line yet, basically means he's announcing that he'll be separated from them for the next month.

If they really liked him, they wouldn't have stopped him from leaving, but they certainly wouldn't have agreed to his decision so readily.

He seemed to have forgotten that although the training camp was over, the girls now knew where his dorm was, and even had the key...

Moreover, even if Shinji Kitahara is slacking off, Mataichi has joined the team and is quite responsible, acting more like a head trainer than Shinji Kitahara.

However, whether or not someone is a trainer is not the most important thing.

Most importantly, if she's in charge, even if Shinji Kitahara doesn't come to the training ground, they can still keep an eye on Yuichi without worrying about her sneaking away.

After that, the exchange ended, and the group dispersed, each with their own thoughts.

After the training camp ended, everyone returned to their respective dormitories. Shinji Kitahara also returned to his dormitory, which he hadn't used in a long time. He stared at the empty room for a while in a daze.

After spending more than two months in the dormitory and getting used to the lively environment, Shinji Kitahara felt somewhat out of place returning to the dormitory alone.

Despite feeling out of place, Shinji Kitahara knew that this was an abnormal situation, so he only spaced out for a while before returning to his usual routine.

I took a shower, changed into my pajamas, and then sat down at the computer.

He originally planned to browse the forums, chat in the groups, watch some videos, and then go to sleep, just like before.

But after sitting down and looking at the deserted surroundings, Kitahara Shinji remained silent for a while before opening the game that the Emperor of the East Sea had recommended to him.

Let's play for a little while.

He thought for a moment, then clicked on the ranked match.

One win, two wins, three wins...

Thanks to her reaction speed, which is far beyond that of ordinary people, even racehorse girls, and nearly half a month of diligent study.

His gaming skills have improved considerably compared to when the East Sea Emperors and the others didn't want to play with him.

It's just that he usually does other things and doesn't play much, so his ranking isn't very high.

He was bored at the moment, so he wanted to see how far he could go if he seriously tried it out.

Then, three hours later.

Looking at the 97% win rate displayed on the screen in front of him, and his game ID rapidly rising to the top 100 of the overall leaderboard thanks to his terrifying winning streak, Shinji Kitahara fell into deep thought.

Perhaps, compared to being a trainer, the path of an esports player might be more suitable for him?

But that's just a thought.

After all, only you know what's going on in your own life.

With his bizarre luck—he seems to have terrible luck with everything except horse-themed games—he might sign a contract with a team one day and have the entire game shut down the next.

After breaking into the top 100, Shinji Kitahara stopped competing.

It's not that he can't fight anymore; in fact, he still has plenty of energy.

Moreover, considering his previous achievements, his current winning streak is close to one hundred. If he really wanted to, even with his already high ranking, continuing to win wouldn't be difficult.

As for that 3% failure rate?

That was when he was first learning and was beaten by the East Sea Emperor and his group.

However, after his skills improved, he basically never lost again.

If that's the case, why didn't he continue fighting?

The answer is that someone messaged him.

[Seize the Victory: Brother Carrot, are you there?]

Carrot is Shinji Kitahara's game name.

However, he didn't come up with the name himself. It was a secret idea that three clowns came up with and then asked Eclipse to relay it.

Because Eclipse often does things he doesn't understand, so when he heard her mention this name...

Although he didn't quite understand what she was thinking, after thinking about it, he felt that it would save him the trouble of naming the child, so he agreed directly.

And now...

[Carrot: In]

[Carrot: What's up? Want to play a game? I'm free.]

Compared to ranking up, he actually prefers playing games with people he knows.

Especially since this "Seize Victory" guy is clearly a bit of a simpleton, he can play recklessly and mess around without any worries, purely enjoying the fun of the game without having to worry about losing favor with the other side.

But today, faced with the rare invitation from "Brother Carrot," "Seize Victory" unusually did not immediately accept.

After a long silence, 'Seize the Victory' finally gave its slow response.

[Seize the Victory: Hey, Brother Carrot North]

[Seize the Victory: Do you know what's a good gift to give a girl?]

Upon seeing his words, Shinji Kitahara raised an eyebrow, his expression gradually becoming subtle.

Could this little rascal be in love?

--------

Chapter 125: Shinji Kitahara just ate the computer screen.

At the same time that Kitahara Shinji was looking at the screen, his expression gradually becoming subtle.

Teresen Headquarters, Li Dong Dormitory.

A brown-haired, gray-eyed being named Vodka was staring at the screen, his expression somewhat conflicted.

She's the one who's 'seizing victory' and chatting with Shinji Kitahara right now.

Contrary to Shinji Kitahara's expectations, Vodka was not some teenage boy, but a proper horse girl who had entered the Treson headquarters through her own abilities and talent.

The reason she asked Shinji Kitahara about this was somewhat different from what he had expected.

It wasn't to pursue a girl, but to apologize to his roommate.

Well, the relationship between Vodka and her roommate, Yamato Akaki, is rather peculiar.

You might say they don't get along, but they're always sticking together like they're bound together, almost never apart.

But even though you say they have a good relationship, most of the time they are bickering and arguing, and they can argue about anything.

For example, recently they have been arguing about a trainer named Shinji Kitahara.

The incident began when Vodka was browsing a forum one day and saw some information about a trainer named Kitahara Shinji. He then casually started chatting with Yamato Akaki.

As they chatted, Vodka discovered that Yamato Akaki seemed to have a high opinion of the trainer named Kitahara Shinji.

As for the reason, it's because Yamato Akari and Alice are very close.

Knowing that Shinji Kitahara was Eliseko's trainer, and having heard many good things about him from Eliseko, she had a very good impression of him.

That sounds a bit strange.

After all, Alice's reputation in the academy is so bad that even the horse girls usually avoid her. So why does Yamato Akaki seem to trust her so much?

The answer is simple: Alice was very good to her.

Since they met, Alice has provided Yamato Akaki with all kinds of help free of charge, and has never once asked Yamato Akaki to test medicine for her, nor has she ever cheated her.

He even gave her most of the scarce, side-effect-free enhancement potions, keeping only a small portion for himself. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he treated her like his own daughter.

Even though Yamato Akaki knew that Elise had a bad reputation in the academy, he still respected and trusted her very much.
