I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

As for family members, well...

Shinji Kitahara thought that relying on them was less likely than hoping that Nuotao would come to his senses on his own.

But before he could worry about this problem for long, he suddenly realized that it was much easier to handle than he had imagined.

Because the raging waves were so obedient to him.

"From now on, you can wake up by yourself in the morning, eat your meals on time, and choose your own clothes. If you encounter any difficulties that you can't solve, come to me..."

"Yes, Mr. Kitahara, I will do it."

Looking at Nutao, who had earnestly agreed and whose subsequent execution was quite good.

Although Shinji Kitahara knew in his heart that this was not a way to completely solve the problem, it could only temporarily stabilize the situation and prevent her condition from worsening.

But enough is enough.

In the following days, Shinji Kitahara collected food for the eclipse while conducting various experiments.

He tried to help Nu Tao become less clumsy and more confident outside of his commands, so that he wouldn't be so pathologically dependent on him and could have a happy life of his own.

Unfortunately, none of his attempts succeeded even once before he left.

However, Shinji Kitahara did not blame Nuo for this, nor did he show any distress or intention to give up.

As he was leaving, Shinji Kitahara smiled and extended his hand, making a pinky promise with Naoto.

"Next time we meet, I want to see a more cheerful and confident Nutao."

Shinji Kitahara knew this was a futile effort.

While Nu Tao and her body were indeed willing to obey him, it was only if she could do it, and this request clearly exceeded the limit.

What he couldn't have imagined was that, years later, at Treson Academy, it was this small agreement that led to him knowing that Treson was right beside him.

For almost half a year, because he felt he had not fulfilled his promise, the famous general Nu Tao did not dare to approach him or let him discover his existence.

And today...

Looking at the familiar face before him and feeling the familiar sensation of being controlled, the famous general Nutao's eyes became somewhat dazed, and his tail swayed constantly behind him.

"Mr. Kitahara..."

But soon, she seemed to realize something, her body stiffened slightly, her eyes regained their clarity, and a strange emotion appeared in them.

Was what that person said actually true...?

In fact, the reason why the famous general Nu Tao appeared here was not simply because she had said that she had followed him because she was distracted.

In the past, upon seeing Shinji Kitahara on the field, she would have panicked and run away because of the previous agreement, let alone follow him.

But just as she was about to run off, she remembered the whisper of the pure white horse girl and stopped in her tracks.

"His situation will become extremely dangerous for a long time to come, not too long in the near future."

"Huh? You're asking me why?"

Didn't I tell you this before?

"His transformation into a true character is about to begin."

Chapter 173: There are bugs in the bathroom

Shinji Kitahara's orthodox approach is about to begin.

This sounds like a joke.

After all, it's common knowledge that "orthodox" or "honkaku-ka" (orthodox style) is a special case that only exists in Uma Musume (a Japanese female character).

As for Shinji Kitahara, he is not only human, but also male, so it's impossible for him to be associated with the concept of "orthodoxy".

The famous general Nu Tao initially didn't believe in this, but after actually experiencing it, he changed his mind.

She discovered that what the pure white horse girl had told her might very well be true.

According to the white horse girl, Shinji Kitahara's "orthodox" style is not "orthodox" in the conventional sense.

It won't bring about any physical growth, nor will it directly grant him the strength of a horse girl. Instead, it will enhance some of his other abilities.

For example, its attraction to horse girls.

The atmosphere within the team is very strange right now, and this has long since spread beyond just the trainers. The renowned general Nutsou, who has been quietly keeping an eye on Shinji Kitahara's situation, is also aware of it.

It was precisely because of this clarity that, upon learning of Kitahara Shinji's transformation into a "real man," she was able to realize what consequences this might be a good thing for ordinary people could have on Kitahara Shinji.

In particular, the concept of "orthodoxy" often has another attribute besides rapid growth: instability and uncontrollability.

According to the white horse girl, Shinji Kitahara has not yet begun to become a true erudite.

But even a few signs were enough to shake the minds of those who were already wavering in their support for him.

Once the process of becoming fully orthodox begins, coupled with the unstable operation of his power, if the power level is increased too much, it could very likely cause some unfortunate situations, or even threaten his life.

As he was about to leave the arena, the famous general Nutao remembered what the white horse girl had said to him, so he stopped and subconsciously followed her.

After following him and having a formal conversation with him...

Smelling the familiar scent emanating from him, sensing the surging emotions within him, and feeling an inexplicable impulse, the famous general, Nutao, became increasingly convinced of what the white horse girl had said.

We must protect Mr. Kitahara.

The moment she confirmed the situation, this thought immediately came to her mind.

However, even though he thought this way, the famous general Nu Tao knew it too.

Given her current clumsy state even when not on orders, let alone protecting Mr. Kitahara, simply not causing him trouble would be the greatest help she could offer.

But it doesn't matter, because a few days ago, after explaining the situation of Kitahara Shinji's transformation, the white horse girl also gave her a help plan that even she could adopt.

It wasn't directly assigned to protect Shinji Kitahara.

Instead, it allowed her to access certain abilities that Shinji Kitahara himself had not yet realized he possessed.

To enhance his own strength, so that he would have more ability to protect himself when facing dangers.

After talking with Shinji Kitahara, the renowned general Nutō, who had gradually calmed down, began to think about how to implement the assistance plan.

Saying it directly is definitely not an option.

On the one hand, based on her understanding, if she were to bring up that kind of thing rashly, Kitahara Shinji would most likely not agree.

On the other hand, it was also because the white horse girl had specifically instructed him that having too much 'knowledge' would not be a good thing for him, and would most likely lead to his abilities going out of control.

But just as the famous general Nu Tao was thinking about these things.

When Shinji Kitahara saw that she suddenly stopped talking and looked a little conflicted, he naturally misunderstood that she was struggling with the matter of joining the team.

After a moment of silence, seeing her pitiful look, Shinji Kitahara sighed, turned around, pushed open the door to his dormitory, and waved to her.

"Alright, whatever it is, let's come in first and talk about it."

"......Yes."

......

To be honest, even now, Shinji Kitahara is still a little intimidated by the famous general Nuotao.

And it wasn't just because of her inferiority complex, but also because of her terrifying destructive power.

For example, just now, after Kitahara Shinji led her inside, Meijō Nutō wanted to help close the door.

As a result of nervousness, the movement was a bit too large when turning around.

With a crisp 'thud', a dent appeared on Kitahara Shinji's door, while the famous general Nutsou had a large bump on his head and a few tears welled up in his eyes.

Does it sound good? What sounds good is a good start.

Seeing the pained and tearful General Nutao, Kitahara Shinji sighed. Worried that if he continued to let her move around freely, his house might be in danger, he pointed to the sofa and told her to sit there quietly.

With Kitahara Shinji's instructions, the famous general Nutō's movements immediately became smooth, and he obediently sat down there.

Special Week and Grasshopper, who had just finished their match, had also taken a shower.

Wearing loose clothes, they walked out of the bathroom glaring at each other, and then saw the famous general Nutao on the sofa, and their bodies paused slightly.

"Shinji-san, who is this...?"

“She is Nutao, a child I used to take care of.”

After giving a brief introduction to Nutao, Shinji Kitahara turned to Nutao and began to introduce the members of his household to her.

"She's Special Zhou, and she's Grasshopper; both are my horse girls. They just finished their race. You were at the racetrack earlier, so you should have seen them..."

While listening to Shinji Kitahara's introduction, the famous general Nutō greeted the two of them.

A child I've mentored before? In other words, a new rival?

Faced with the greeting from the famous general Nu Tao, Te Zhou and Cao Shang Fei politely responded while thinking to themselves.

However, as they responded, their gazes unconsciously drifted to a certain spot on the famous general Nu Tao, and their expressions changed slightly.

But this new adversary seems to pose a rather 'big' threat...

Thinking this, Zhou and Caoshangfei exchanged a glance, confirming each other's feelings.

Deciding to temporarily set aside their prejudices, they sat down on either side of Kitahara Shinji, as if asserting their sovereignty, and then looked together at the famous general, Nutao.

However, the famous general Nu Tao did not react to their behavior.

Instead of showing any hostility, after discussing the match, the renowned player Nu Tao sincerely praised their performance, seemingly oblivious to their assertive gestures.

The reaction of the famous general Nutao surprised Te Bie Zhou and Cao Shangfei, and their gazes towards her changed slightly.

This kid doesn't seem to have any intention of joining the Kitahara Cup...

Shortly after they had this idea, the performance of the famous general Nutao once again confirmed their thoughts during the ensuing conversation.

After exchanging words for a while, Kitahara Shinji saw that the famous general Nutao had calmed down enough, so he took the initiative to ask her if she wanted to join his team.

Upon hearing that they were joining the team, Tete Zhou and Grasshopper's ears immediately perked up, and their eyes instantly sharpened.

but......

"Well, my full-fledged investigation hasn't even started yet, and Mr. Kitahara, your team already has a lot of people. If I joined, it would definitely cause you a lot of trouble, so..."

As the famous general Nu Tao spoke, he slowly lowered his head.

Not to mention Zhou and Caoshangfei, even Kitahara Shinji was stunned after hearing the answer from the famous general Nutao.

Although somewhat surprised by Nutao's unexpected rejection, Kitahara Shinji's surprise didn't last long.

Ultimately, being rejected by the horse girls you want to recruit is something almost every trainer has experienced; it's a fairly normal phenomenon.

Then, after skipping over this topic, the atmosphere in the room gradually improved.

Upon hearing that she didn't even want to join the team, Grass Fly and Special Zhou immediately softened their gazes towards the famous general Nutuo, becoming increasingly enthusiastic and quickly becoming acquainted with her.

Seeing how quickly they became acquainted, Shinji Kitahara's expression softened.

Although I declined his invitation, he was, after all, a child he had taken care of.

Moreover, based on their earlier conversation outside the door, he also learned that the damage was too catastrophic.

Even after entering Treson Academy, Ming Jiang Nu Tao still didn't have many friends. Now that she was able to make some new ones, he was genuinely happy for her.

But their happiness was short-lived, as the chairman suddenly called Shinji Kitahara.

Since the conversation was about work, Shinji Kitahara went outside to answer the call.

Just as he was answering the phone, Cao Shangfei noticed that the table was empty and prepared to make some tea.

Then, while making tea, Cao Shangfei noticed that the famous general Nu Tao was staring at her, so he smiled and asked her if she was interested in this kind of thing.

The famous general Nu Tao nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook his head.

"No, Miss Grasshopper, I can't do it well..."

"It's alright, it's just making tea. If you want to learn, I can teach you..."

"But I'm stupid, I can't do anything well, and I can't learn anything..."

"It's alright. Although brewing a good cup of tea isn't easy, you can start with the simplest steps. Besides, I've seen plenty of clumsy people out there..."

As he spoke, Grasshopper glanced sideways at Special Zhou, who glared back without hesitation.

Having said all that, and seeing that Grasshopper seemed to have experience with other clumsy people, General Nutsang mustered up his courage and went over to learn tea-making techniques from Ms. Grasshopper.
