I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

This time, because of their previous experience with training camps, the little pony girls can go to his dormitory to find him anytime they want after training if they want to.

It won't lead to a strange state like last time because I haven't used it for a long time.

Except for Oguri's hat, hers was an exception.

So this time, unlike last time, it's not about the overall team atmosphere of Shinji Kitahara, but rather that some aspects of the situation are rather delicate.

To be more specific...

I glanced at Special Zhou and Miss Carrot, who were chatting and whispering sweet nothings to each other while training, not far away.

She glanced at Ms. Grass, who was resting alone on the grass and watching the two people whispering sweet nothings in the distance, looking dejected.

Shinji Kitahara pinched his chin, lost in thought, and two questions slowly arose in his mind.

The first question is why the Silent Suzuka is in his team.

And judging from the looks of it, it seems like this isn't his first day here; he's already quite familiar with the female horse riders in his team.

As for the second question...

Looking at Kusakami Hibi, who was standing by the training field with a dejected, even somewhat haggard, expression, Kitahara Shinji's expression gradually became melancholy.

That's Ms. Cao, why are you having diarrhea again?!

Do you think you deserve all the assists I gave you?!

Chapter 143: For the sake of our brotherhood

Looking at Hibiki, who looked completely lost on the grass not far away, Shinji Kitahara could describe his feelings for her in one simple sentence.

Lamenting its misfortune, anger is indisputable.

This is a more polite way of saying it.

In layman's terms...

Even if I give you a chance, you won’t use it!

Teammates, seemingly rendered useless, Shinji Kitahara's various opportunities and assists...

Even in July and August, due to the summer training camp, the Silent Suzuka group spent two whole months away from home.

Moreover, because he had to keep an eye on all the female horse girls under Miyuki Taishi's command, he was so mentally exhausted that he rarely even talked to Special Week on Line.

On the other hand, Kusakabe stayed by Suzuka's side day and night during the two months when Suzuka was almost out of contact and Zhou Xin was feeling particularly vulnerable.

She had countless opportunities to communicate and deepen her relationship, and there was also Shinji Kitahara by her side, who would provide her with various assists and opportunities from time to time.

Anyone can see how significant this advantage is; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a dragon is riding right at your face.

The problem is that even with this overwhelming force, a 180-population enemy against a 120-population enemy, Grasshopper still managed to lose.

And it was a loss that couldn't be any worse.

According to what Shinji Kitahara learned later, Silent Suzuka joined his team just two days after he left the training ground, and she was invited by Special Weekly.

Upon arrival, Special Week immediately stuck to her, calling her "Suzuka-chan" and "Literate Card-chan" (a pun on Suzuka-chan's name) and surrounding her.

Although she didn't intentionally ignore Ms. Cao, the problem was that Ms. Cao wasn't the type to get close to others, so in the end she could only watch silently from the sidelines, her expression growing increasingly haggard.

As for Shinji Kitahara's opinion on this...

What else can he think?

She failed to seize so many opportunities, and in the end, she let Special Week go. She couldn't even take the initiative to compete with Silent Suzuka. If she's not a loser, then who is?

As for why the Silent Suzuka appeared in his team, Shinji Kitahara later found out the reason.

"Well, back in the first half of the year, that guy Sanxiong Taishi almost couldn't resist recruiting new people for the position, and he recruited three at once..."

"Although his subordinates ultimately stopped it, after discussions among various parties, including but not limited to his subordinates, his family, and even the chairman, they all felt that things couldn't continue like this, so they wanted him to retire early..."

"That guy, Miyuki Taishi, didn't object to the proposal, but he did make his own request: that Suzuka Silent leave the team temporarily before he retires."

"It's not that he doesn't want to take care of her anymore, but considering that he can't always rely on Suzuka in the future, he plans to face them alone for now and prepare for the future."

"Furthermore, Silent Suzuka, as his last role, is currently the only horse girl among all his roles who has only been in the industry for a year."

"If he retires early, the other performers who have been in the industry for at least two years will be fine, and many have even expressed their willingness to retire on the spot with him."

"But Silent Suzuka has only been in the industry for a year, and her talent is far superior to his other roles. Moreover, she doesn't have that kind of relationship with him, so she definitely can't be like those other female characters."

"So, besides wanting to face them alone and prepare for the future, Miyuki Taishi also wanted Silent Suzuka to leave the team early so that she could use this time to find a suitable trainer or team, so that his situation wouldn't affect her future..."

After getting all the information from Kouya, Kitahara Shinji looked at Silent Suzuka, who had completely blended into his team on the training field, and fell into deep thought.

"So, the reason she's here now is..."

Xiao nodded again.

"Yes, that's right, she wants to apply to join our team."

She paused, then added.

"However, it wasn't Suzuka who initiated this; rather, Tezuka noticed she seemed troubled and pulled her aside, and then..."

"As you can see."

That sounds a bit strange.

Logically speaking, given the current scale and intensity of competition in the Kitahara Cup, no one should want to have more players on the track.

But now, it's understandable that Zhou is involved, since she and Silent Suzuka are close friends and roommates. It's normal to want to be on a team with her and welcome her in, but the others...

They would also welcome that.

The reason is also very simple.

After learning about the role that Silent Suzuka had played for Miyu Taishi, they realized that this person might be exactly the kind of person their team needed right now.

If other female horse girls wanted to join the team, they wouldn't directly object, but they certainly wouldn't support them.

But the problem is that she is a silent Suzuka.

The situation within the Miyu Taishi team is widely known not only among the trainers but also among the horse girls.

After all, even from the very beginning of Tresson's founding, it is extremely rare to find a man like him who can shoulder the responsibilities of sixteen people all by himself. In a sense, he is a legend.

And the fact that the Silent Suzuka can act as a safety valve in such a super-intensive horse racing environment speaks volumes about its prestige.

Furthermore, as the competition in the Kitahara Cup intensifies, the participants are gradually realizing this.

Although the rules of their competition can be described as having no restrictions, and in private, apart from a certain Emperor's Palace, they are all sneaking around in various ways.

But the problem is, no matter how unrestrained or sneaky you are, it doesn't matter.

But at least on some point, they were in agreement.

That is, none of them wanted to hurt Shinji Kitahara.

This is also the bottom line for the Kitahara Cup.

After all, the reason everyone is so eager to win this match is so that they can bring the trophy home.

If they take excessive measures and hurt Shinji Kitahara, not only will others be hostile towards them, but they themselves will also be unable to forgive themselves.

However, the problem is that with the increasing intensity of competition...

Although the situation is relatively stable at present, no one can say for sure what will happen next.

Who knows, when the competition gets intense enough, some of the female riders, or even themselves, might do something irreversible in a moment of impulsiveness.

So, although they hadn't communicated, they both tacitly realized it.

The current Kitahara Cup needs an outsider to act as an insurance agent.

Therefore, they felt that Suzuka, who had acted as a safety valve in the Miyu Taishi team, must be very experienced in this area and would be very suitable to act as their insurance.

What they didn't know was that, despite the rumors circulating outside...

It is because of the silent Suzuka that the ambitions of the Three Kingdoms have survived to this day.

But this is not the case.

Admittedly, the presence and assistance of the silent Suzuka did alleviate the pressure on Miyu Taishi's side to some extent.

The problem is that this help is merely icing on the cake, and it mainly benefits from her status as her sister-in-law.

In the years before she joined Miyuki Taishi's team, although Miyuki Taishi had a tough time and was hospitalized from time to time, his overall condition was not much different from now.

There are many reasons why this might happen.

For example, the horse girls that Taishi Miyuki chose to be in charge were all those who lacked talent and often lost races, so they were relatively uncompetitive, had relatively mild personalities, and had no sense of exclusivity whatsoever.

For example, there were the efforts made by Treson, the close surveillance by the security forces, and the high-quality free medical care provided afterwards.

But the main reason was still Daishi Miyuki's own efforts.

In fact, Taishi Miyuki had a very good relationship with his team members, and they all cherished him and had no intention of hurting him.

If the three heroes were to behave themselves and be more careful, even getting into the hospital wouldn't be so easy.

But the problem is, he's restless.

But this restlessness doesn't mean he has any feelings for his female horse or can't help but touch her inappropriately.

He wouldn't even dare to lay a hand on them; he wished he could stay 800 meters away from them during training, watching them with binoculars to prevent them from doing anything to him.

His restlessness stemmed from his inability to accept that his horse wives would fight, be hostile to, or even harm each other because of him.

As a result, he would always take the initiative to intervene and try to mediate when neither party intended to involve him.

In such a case, it goes without saying that the adjustment has failed.

Even if the mediation is successful, it may not necessarily be a good thing for him; it could even be worse than a failed mediation.

After all, given the internal conflicts, they would be somewhat more restrained in their behavior out of fear of each other's presence.

But now that the internal conflicts have been resolved by the three heroes themselves, what remains...?

Naturally, they all turned their attention to him.

So, in reality, the Silent Suzuka didn't help Miyu Taishi much in terms of Shigebaba.

Most of the time, she relies on her status as her sister-in-law to assert herself.

This made the other female horses too embarrassed to lay hands on their own trainers in front of their own families, so they helped maintain basic order, and basically did nothing else.

Although the Miyuki Taishi team was aware of the situation in Suzuka, it was a private matter and they couldn't disclose it to the public.

Therefore, outsiders are unaware of the specific details and can only assume that Silent Suzuka is exceptionally capable in this area, regarding her as an expert in solving Shigebaba's problem.

It was under these circumstances that Suzuka, the Silent One, heard that she was looking for a new team.

The female members of Shinji Kitahara's team not only didn't object, but actively welcomed her arrival.

In their view, Shinji Kitahara's situation was a perfect replica of Taishi Miyu's situation.

Having an expert like Suzuka Shigemachi, who specializes in horse racing, oversee the operation would significantly reduce the probability of accidents.

As for whether this expert will participate in the war...

To be honest, they were a little worried too.

However, since not many people know that Suzuka and Miyu Taishi are related, it's reasonable to assume that she must have strong willpower to maintain her individuality in that environment.

On the other hand, it's also because the silent Suzuka poses less of a threat in certain aspects, such as the B-70...

In conclusion, after careful consideration, they felt that Silent Suzuka was more suitable to handle the insurance than others, so they all welcomed her arrival.

Silent Suzuka was unaware of their intentions. Faced with their warm welcome, she felt both flattered and relieved.

Because when she arrived, Shinji Kitahara had already started preparing for the horse girl hunt.

As an outsider to the team, Silent Suzuka only spent time with them during training and was unaware of their whereabouts after training.

Furthermore, although Shinji Kitahara slipped away after the holiday started, Mataichi, as a reliable senior, did not slack off during the holiday.

When Suzuka saw that the horse girls in Kitahara Shinji's party had a normal relationship with Mataichi, she had the illusion that the party was normal.

With Zhou there, everyone else was very welcoming, and the team atmosphere was great...

And most importantly, while the environment is so nice, it's also far away from the horse racing track...

After nearly a month of getting to know each other, Silent Suzuka has become increasingly fond of Shinji Kitahara's team and has now started discussing with Special Week how to join them.
