I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

At the very least, they say that Treson is a prison, and running is an ideology imposed on them. Even if they are completely right, what happens next?

Will the horse girls be better off after Treson and the running philosophy are all overturned?

Anyway, Shinji Kitahara thinks it's highly unlikely.

Moreover, good ideas don't equate to correct behavior. He's seen plenty of people doing unethical things under the guise of justice, not to mention that the Black Forest's ideas don't sound quite right either.

But that's not something a lowly trainer like him should be concerned with.

The important people's affairs should be left to them to think about. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. He's just a trainer who was accidentally dragged into this mess. He should be doing well enough to take care of his own affairs.

With this thought in mind, Shinji Kitahara ended his contemplation and then tidied up the room with Eclipse.

Then, while tidying up the room, he also took the opportunity to take stock of the missing household items and asked what the Eclipse side needed, planning to buy them when he went out later.

As for whether he would be attacked or encounter any accidents on the way out, Shinji Kitahara was not too worried.

On the one hand, they believe that the other side would not dare to do such a thing on the street, as that is something only extremist organizations would dare to do. Although the other side's methods were a bit despicable, they were still generally in line with the rules.

On the other hand, it is due to the existence of a solar eclipse.

He didn't really know the exact strength of the Eclipse, but during their years of wandering, they had dealt with various groups of people more than once.

Among them were good people and bad people, and quite a few had ulterior motives towards them, including groups composed of yakuza and delinquent female prostitutes.

But as it turned out, he didn't even suffer any setbacks, let alone see the eclipse get injured, not even a minor one.

Moreover, Shinji Kitahara could also tell that Eclipse had been in a bad mood ever since he was attacked.

If they actually encounter an attack outside, it might be able to calm her down, but if not...

Recalling the threat of the solar eclipse that night, Shinji Kitahara felt a few drops of cold sweat seep from his palms.

He didn't think he had the power to resist the eclipse, so he'd better try to calm her down to prevent anything irreversible from happening.

As he tidied the house and pondered these things, he heard a knock on the door again.

He raised his head with some confusion, unable to determine the identity of the person outside.

Yesterday, the other female members of the team were discussing their holiday plans during their break, and he was there with them.

Zhou said she had made plans to go out with her roommate, and although Caoshangfei hadn't received an invitation, she could tell from the look in Caoshangfei's eyes that she would most likely go with her.

The Emperor of the East Sea needed to relax after a long period of training, so he said he had arranged to go shopping with a friend.

Xiao Limao hadn't made any plans, but after dinner she received a message from her roommate saying she wanted to organize a friendly match with her the next day.

So it's highly likely that the people knocking on the door weren't them.

The problem is, besides those few, Shinji Kitahara can't think of anyone else who would come looking for him...

While he was thinking, he walked over and opened the door.

"Excuse me, is this...?"

The words stopped abruptly.

Shinji Kitahara stared at the red-eyed horse girl in a white coat outside the door for a few seconds before decisively closing the door.

But just as the door was about to close, a seemingly slender hand grabbed the edge of the door.

After gently opening the door, a delicate face with a playful smile appeared before him.

"Good morning, Trainer Kitahara. Won't you invite me in?"

Alice smiled and spoke.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Devil's Pact

A moment later, Alice appeared in Shinji Kitahara's dormitory, sitting opposite Shinji Kitahara and Eclipse.

"The solar eclipse is like a family member I grew up with, and it is also one of my responsibilities now."

Shinji Kitahara gave a brief introduction to the solar eclipse, then looked at Alice with a helpless tone.

"Alice, a well-known figure at Treson Academy, is someone I just met a couple of days ago... a friend."

He spoke the last two words with great difficulty.

Alice had no objection to his introduction. Her gaze swept back and forth between Kitahara Shinji and Eclipse several times, and the interest in her eyes gradually intensified.

Then, as if unaware of Shinji Kitahara's warning look, Alice waved to Eclipse familiarly and whispered in her ear.

Because their voices were so soft, Shinji Kitahara couldn't hear what they were saying, but he did see Eclipse's expression change repeatedly.

From initial calm, to slight doubt, then to surprise, and finally back to calm.

Although his expression returned to its original state, it was clear that Eclipse had become much more familiar with Alice after they separated. His gaze towards her was no longer so unfamiliar, and he had even received a vial of green potion from her...

Wait, medicine?

"What it is?"

Shinji Kitahara felt a sense of foreboding.

The eclipse turned its head away and carefully put away the vial of medicine, while Alice smiled and spoke.

"It's nothing, just a regular potion that can quickly replenish the energy consumed during long periods of exercise. If you want to buy it, I can give you a friendly price."

Only a fool would buy that!

And this potion of yours is clearly that kind! Why did you actually accept it during the solar eclipse? You're making me very uneasy.

Shinji Kitahara now regrets it, he regrets it very much.

If God could give him another chance, to go back to the day he was attacked, he would rather stand there and take a beating than have any contact with this dangerous person in any form.

With a long sigh, Shinji Kitahara's expression gradually turned melancholy as he looked at Alice in front of him and spoke helplessly.

"So, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing his directness, Alice didn't beat around the bush either. She took out the application form and pen she had prepared beforehand from the pocket of her white coat and handed them to Kitahara Shinji.

"I already have two people in this role, I really don't have the energy for any more..."

Shinji Kitahara refused the moment she took out her watch.

But Alice's expression remained unchanged, still smiling.

"Yes, I know, so this is just an application form to join your team."

She paused, then added.

"You know, I've never had a good reputation in Tressen, and the trainers are all a bit afraid of me, so almost no teams or trainers are willing to take me in."

"Besides, I'm already halfway through my professional development, and if I don't participate in competitions soon, I'm afraid I'll enter a period of decline. I don't want to waste the three most shining years of my life as a horse girl, but the competition organizers stipulate that horse girls without trainers cannot participate in competitions, so..."

She raised her head and looked at Shinji Kitahara, her eyes flashing with a pitiful and pleading look.

"Trainer Kitahara, please."

Shinji Kitahara remained silent in response to her words.

But I wasn't moved by her words; rather, I was shocked that she could lie so naturally, and even act out the whole thing so convincingly.

Indeed, it's true that she said she's already halfway through her orthodox period, and Shinji Kitahara could see that too.

But to say that no one wants her is pure nonsense.

It's true that Alice has a bad reputation among the Treson trainers, but no matter how bad her reputation is, her strength is undeniable.

The strong enjoy certain privileges no matter where they are.

There are many horse girls in Tressen with strange personalities or quirks, and some are even more outrageous than her. These horse girls are not even as strong as her, yet they can still join the team and even find their own trainers.

Shinji Kitahara even dared to guarantee that she wouldn't even need to come and ask. As long as he posted his idea of ​​finding a trainer on the forum, it would definitely become a hot topic that day, and there would definitely be plenty of fearless guys who would come to apply. There would be no shortage of trainers.

Even joining one of the currently popular teams or finding a veteran trainer to be her personal trainer would not be difficult for her if she wanted to.

Although she rarely goes out and has a bad reputation, as a mad scientist who almost monopolizes the Treson dark side trading network, she must still have some achievements in terms of connections and backing.

However, even though he understood, Shinji Kitahara couldn't directly expose her lie, since she still had leverage over him.

After pondering for a while, Shinji Kitahara felt that if he wanted to reject her, it would be best to approach it from another angle. Otherwise, if he provoked her and she revealed that information, he would also be in a bad position.

Then, he cleared his throat and pretended to hesitate.

"Um, Ms. Suzuko, it's not that I don't want to agree, but the problem is, I have a team, and if a new person wants to join, I have to ask the others' opinions first..."

"I asked."

Eclipse suddenly spoke up, waving his phone: "They all agreed."

Kitahara Shinji: "...?"

The eclipse turned its head away, avoiding eye contact with him.

"Zhou and Xiao Li Mao think it will be more lively with more people in the group, and the East Sea Emperor doesn't have any objections either."

As for Grasshopper, he's only nominally part of their team; everyone knows his true nature, so there's no need to ask.

"...What about you?"

"I... think she's a pretty good person."

Not good at all! Do you think our friendship of so many years is worth less than a bottle of stamina-restoring potion?

And he'd wanted to complain about this for a long time. Other people's horse girls are all hoping their trainers will only pay attention to them, but why is it completely the opposite of you? You want me to be torn apart by five horses, don't you?

"I......"

Shinji Kitahara wanted to say something more, but before he could even open his mouth, Alice shoved the form and pen into his hand, her red eyes flashing with a dangerous light as she smiled.

"Well then, Guinea Pig... Trainer Kitahara, I look forward to working with you from now on."

Seeing the strange glint in her eyes, Shinji Kitahara remained silent for a moment, sighed, and took what she offered.

Oh well, I guess I'll just have to accept my fate.

"Then, please take care of me from now on, Miss Eriko."

With the stroke of the pen, the devil's contract was signed.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: How dare you say that?

After leaving the chairman's office, Shinji Kitahara looked utterly dejected.

Emperor of the East Sea, symbol of Rudolf, Grasshopper, Alice...

He had been on the job for less than a week and had already offended almost all of the most dangerous horse girls in Tressen, with three of them now joining his team.

The only person I haven't messed with is Satomi Hikari, because she's still studying at the Satomi family's private school and hasn't transferred here yet, so even if I wanted to, I couldn't mess with her.

But looking at the group of horse girls in his team, Shinji Kitahara felt that it would be better if she didn't come, but once she did, she would probably interact with him and maybe even join his team.

Am I some kind of horse mint physique? But the problem is, horse mint doesn't only attract dangerous horse girls.

However, Shinji Kitahara's grief didn't last long.

Since things have come to this point, there's no use complaining anymore. It's better to calm down, think carefully about the next steps, and try to increase the chances of surviving these three years safely.

Do it when you think of it.

After calming down, he began to analyze the current situation and found that it didn't seem too bad.

First is the student council president, Emperor Treson, symbolized by Rudolf.

Although they have had contact, they are currently in a state of negative feelings towards each other, so it can be said that they are perfectly safe.

Next is the Emperor of the East Sea. Although he is now under his command, he has been quite active in the team recently.

Ultimately, it's because of his cheerful personality, and he had previously tried to avoid trying to win her favor. Now, their relationship is purely financial, which is within a safe range.

As for Ms. Grasshopper, needless to say.

He had never been so grateful for the attribute of "创" in his life. Although he might feel a little sorry for Special Zhou, at least he was safe.

As for the final chestnut hat, there's even less to worry about.

That kid has absolutely no concept of anything other than eating, and he's very stable in every way, making him the least threatening member of his team right now.

So far, the only horse girl who is interested in him personally and also poses a danger is Alice. He just needs to be wary of her.

As for the special week? There's no need to include that guy who's a combination of a complete idiot and a moron in the statistics, thank you.
