I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

But soon she realized that she couldn't waste such a precious opportunity on something as trivial as eating.

Without much thought, she blinked and then put her ear into Shinji Kitahara's hand.

At the same time, the tail of the grass fly also wrapped around Shinji Kitahara's arm.

Shinji Kitahara was taken aback, and after realizing what was happening, his expression gradually became subtle.

Wait, could it be that they mean...?

The moment he was thinking this, Tetsu Zhou and Kusakabe spoke at the same time.

"Um, Mr. Shinji, I can just touch it here..."

"Trainer Kitahara, could you please do what you did the day before yesterday again?"

Shinji Kitahara felt that something was amiss when faced with their requests.

But thinking about it, it seems similar to patting someone's head, which can be considered a reward in some ways, and it's not troublesome.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded in agreement and sighed inwardly, thinking that the two girls were such sensible and good children, and he was even slightly moved.

Moreover, after he made the request, the two thoughtfully indicated that it was inconvenient for him to stand like that, so they let him sit in a chair.

Then, after he sat down, the two of them squeezed into his lap again, their eyes filled with considerable hostility as they looked at each other.

One is born, the second is cooked.

Having learned from his previous experience, Shinji Kitahara got into the zone quite quickly this time.

Oh, please don't misunderstand, this "getting into the zone" doesn't mean rubbing the two of them, but rather that while rubbing them, we started chatting about serious matters.

This time, however, he did not lecture them about their relationship.

Because he felt he had said enough last time, and he understood the principle of moderation, this time he simply talked to the two of them about their debut competition.

And for some reason, after he talked about the debut competition...

The two, who were initially immersed in blissful enjoyment, suddenly became much more aware of their surroundings and, unusually, reached a consensus.

She gradually steered the conversation towards Karasori, who was sitting next to Shinji Kitahara, and casually inquired about their relationship.

There was no point in hiding it, so Shinji Kitahara told them both directly.

Moreover, he mentioned not only the existence of the black market, but also his concerns that Karasori and Elisako might get into trouble if they got together.

Hearing Shinji Kitahara say that, the two little ones immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But it's better not to relax. As soon as you do, the feeling that you had to suppress because of the sudden event immediately resurfaces.

Moreover, due to the suppression, the intensity that emerged was even higher than before, instantly causing them to stick to Kitahara Shinji, their gazes gradually becoming hazy.

"Mr. Shinji..."

"what happened?"

Zhou buried her head in his chest and spoke softly.

"Could you touch me like this more often in the future? I'll be a good boy and listen to Shinji-san..."

Upon hearing this, Shinji Kitahara pinched her ear slightly harder and spoke with a smile.

"Of course, and there's no need for later. You've been doing very well, haven't you? I was just thinking about how to reward you. Since you like this, I'll rub you like this whenever I have time. If you want anything else, you can just tell me..."

"Mr. Shinji..."

Upon hearing this answer, Tetsu Zhou paused for a moment, and then unconsciously began to murmur the name of Kitahara Shinji.

And perhaps because she had just finished a race, her breathing seemed a little heavier than usual, and she tightened her grip on Shinji Kitahara's arm.

Then, the very next second after Shinji Kitahara finished comforting Special Week, he felt a tight embrace on his other side.

"...Grasshopper?"

Shinji Kitahara turned his head and saw Hibiki Kusakabe, who had somehow gotten close to him and was now holding a document in his hand. His tone was inexplicable.

"Trainer Kitahara, from now on, handle all work this way..."

Shinji Kitahara was taken aback.

"...But wouldn't it be a bit inconvenient for me to use only one hand?"

"It's alright, even if it's your hands, just use me as your hands..."

As she spoke, Grasshopper pressed herself against him again, the strange look in her eyes becoming even more pronounced.

"Also, Trainer Kitahara, from now on, could you please stop calling me Grasshopper and just call me Grass?"

"That's no problem, but Grasshopper, you now..."

A finger was placed on Kitahara Shinji's lips, stopping him from saying anything more.

Then, looking directly into Shinji Kitahara's eyes, Hibiki Kusakami spoke earnestly, enunciating each word clearly.

“It’s ‘grass’.”

"...Okay, then it'll be Little Grass."

Shinji Kitahara sighed, then spoke with a hint of doubt.

"Hey little grass, I have a question for you."

Upon hearing the name 'Little Grass,' Grass Fly's body stiffened slightly for a moment.

"Excuse me, Mr. Kitahara..."

...Why don't you even call him "trainer" anymore? And why does it seem like you don't even want to call him "sir"?

Shinji Kitahara silently complained to himself, but didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, he already considered Ms. Cao a good brother, so even if the way he addressed her changed a bit to get closer to her, he didn't really mind anymore.

After complaining about the way he was addressed, Shinji Kitahara asked his own question.

"Is this kind of thing comfortable?"

As he spoke, he increased the force he applied with his hands slightly.

As Kitahara Shinji increased his effort, the look of confusion in Kusakami Tobi's eyes deepened, and his breathing seemed to become more rapid than before.

Then, after a moment of silence, a trembling voice rang out.

"......Comfortable."

The moment the words fell, accompanied by a surge of taboo, Hibiki's body began to tremble slightly.

Shinji Kitahara, engrossed in his thoughts, did not notice her unusual behavior, but his expression gradually became puzzled as he asked.

"But based on the information I've gathered, both of these should be dangerous behaviors, shouldn't they be uncomfortable...?"

"No, Mr. Kitahara."

Suddenly, Grasshopper cupped his face in her hands, looked up at him, and felt a surge of emotions welling up inside her.

"The information you have is correct, but you are different."

“I don’t know why, but your touch really made me feel relaxed and at peace.”

"I really like this feeling."

...That sounds a bit strange?

Shinji Kitahara was a little puzzled, but he quickly stopped dwelling on such details.

Because right after Grasshopper finished speaking, he had resolved the doubt that had been in his mind, and basically confirmed that this should be his problem.

Before he could think further, Grasshopper suddenly moved again, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear.

"Mr. Kitahara."

"...What's wrong? The grass...the little grass?"

“I know this may be a bit rude, but I really like it and want to experience it more deeply.”

She whispered in his ear, her words carrying a hint of warmth.

"So, could you please increase the intensity a bit?"

"I want to be even more comfortable."

.......

after a while.

Looking at the two obedient and docile people in front of him, whose faces were filled with happiness and enjoyment that were almost overflowing, Shinji Kitahara fell into deep thought.

Is this kind of thing really that comfortable?

Thinking this, he rubbed his ears.

But I didn't feel anything special. It wasn't comfortable at all, and it even hurt a little if I used too much force.

It's just weird.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much, since he had known for a long time that his ability only worked on horse girls.

So, after confirming that the effect was useless on him, he rubbed the two little ones for a while longer, and after completely satisfying them, he prepared to send them back to their dormitory to rest.

Or rather, it was sent back to his dormitory.

Having been thoroughly kneaded, the two little ones quickly agreed to his request and obediently followed him away.

After they went outside, the two little ones were a bit dazed from being rubbed so much that they didn't pay much attention to their surroundings.

But after leaving the room, Shinji Kitahara raised an eyebrow.

They're still following us...?

In fact, Shinji Kitahara had noticed someone watching him since he was on the field.

However, at that time, because he was the focus of everyone's attention, he didn't pay attention to that gaze.

However, after he left and headed to the activity room, after most eyes had disappeared as he left, one gaze followed him out of the arena.

Shinji Kitahara initially thought it was Kareriza, but after seeing the horse girl's ears emerge from behind the cover, he realized it couldn't be her and didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, he didn't sense any malice in that gaze, and the headquarters security team was operating normally, with a certain passerby horse girl whose presence was becoming increasingly insignificant by his side.

Especially after entering the activity room, he stayed there for quite a while to make sure the two little ones were satisfied, and the other party didn't come to disturb him, so Shinji Kitahara figured she must have left.

What he didn't expect was that after he came out, that gaze was still there, and it followed him all the way to his dormitory.

After opening the door and letting the two little ones inside.

Shinji Kitahara stood outside the door for a moment, then sighed and turned to look in the direction of the gaze.

"Stop hiding, Raging Waves."

“I know you’re there.”

Chapter 171: The Meaning of Existence

I know you're there.

After that sentence, a white ahoge (a single hair sticking out from behind a bunker) jumped up.

After a moment's hesitation, the horse girl with chestnut hair and purple eyes emerged hesitantly from behind the cover, looking somewhat uneasy.

"Um, I'm sorry, Mr. Kitahara, I didn't mean to bother you. I'm so sorry for causing you trouble. I'll leave now..."

After saying that, she turned around in a slightly flustered manner and took steps as if fleeing.

However, before she could take a few steps, a slightly helpless voice sounded behind her.

"Stop."

The moment the sound rang out, the famous general Nu Tao stopped in his tracks.

But this was not her own reaction to the command given by the voice.

In fact, due to the extreme panic after being discovered, the famous general Nu Tao's mind is in chaos. Even now that she has stopped, she is still thinking about escaping.

But after that sound rang out, it was as if some kind of curse was in effect; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move an inch.

But after she came to her senses, she faced the fact that she had almost lost her body and was experiencing an instinctive reaction that even overwhelmed her own consciousness.

The renowned general, Nu Tao, showed no sign of panic whatsoever. On the contrary, he appeared much calmer, and his eyes shone with a new light.
