I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

Dating, marriage, and then living together.

That horse girl retired and became a full-time housewife, while Daisuke Kamisato, not wanting to take care of any other horse girls besides her, left Treisen and went to work for URA.

His mother is in good health, the family's financial situation is improving steadily, URA's work is going very smoothly, and he keeps getting promoted because of his hard work. His beloved is by his side, and they are also carrying the hope for the future...

That beam of light that pierced the darkness has now become the only sun in his heart.

That was the happiest time of Daisuke Kamisato's life.

Then came the sudden arrival of night.

That day, Daisuke Kamisato went to work at URA as usual.

On her way home, remembering that it was their anniversary, she made a special detour to the shop where they first confessed their love and bought some of her favorite foods.

But after he finished buying the items and left the store, he walked a short distance and saw a large group of people on the roadside who seemed to be surrounding something and shouting something.

Daisuke Kamisato isn't one to join in the fun, and he's never participated in anything like this before.

But today, for some reason, the moment he saw those people, a huge sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart, and under the influence of that unease, he involuntarily walked over.

Then, he saw her lying in a pool of blood.

What happened later, perhaps because it involved some confidential matters, or perhaps because Daisuke Kamisato simply didn't want to recall it, he didn't tell Shinji Kitahara about it.

He had only mentioned in passing that her death seemed to be related to the 'Horse Hunt'.

Furthermore, from the words of some other people, Shinji Kitahara also learned that her death was not caused by someone targeting her, but by her own initiative to save someone.

She succeeded, not only saving double-digit lives but also preventing a major heinous crime from unfolding.

Although not much was made public due to concerns about the negative impact, even Speed ​​Symbol didn't know much about it.

However, from the words of those around Daisuke Kamisato, Shinji Kitahara could clearly sense the respect and regret they felt when they spoke of Daisuke Kamisato's deceased wife.

Afterwards, because she was his wife and had passed away, URA attributed all the credit to him and gave him a great deal of help in addition to the credit.

He received a promotion, a monetary bonus, and a specially granted extended leave to allow him to rest peacefully. They even hired a professional psychologist to provide him with special services...

But Daisuke Kamisato just wants her back, even if it means giving his own life.

What happened next, nobody knows.

All they knew was that a week after the funeral, Daisuke Kamisato returned to work, and his manner of dealing with people and his behavior seemed unchanged from before.

Only that full head of white hair, which has remained unchanged to this day, is still silently saying something.

After learning about Daisuke Kamisato's situation, Speed ​​Symbol was also somewhat moved, and in addition to his feelings of sympathy, he also became more suspicious of Daisuke Kamisato.

Yes, that's right. Since returning to work, Daisuke Kamisato has performed very well, even excellently.

But sometimes, what is too normal is actually the most abnormal thing.

"I'll try to see if I can investigate the situation behind him later."

Speed ​​symbolizes tapping the index finger as it opens its mouth.

To be honest, if he had a choice, Shinji Kitahara would not want to touch on things that his friends don't want to talk about in the past.

But faced with the current situation, especially given that Daisuke Kamisato might even be the mastermind behind the incident a few days ago, he had no other choice.

"Then please keep it a secret, try your best not to let him know, it's better for everyone..."

"You don't need to tell me."

Speed ​​symbol glanced at Kitahara Shinji, and then the room fell silent for quite some time.

a long time.

Shinji Kitahara spoke slowly.

"Um, senior, is there anything else?"

"Have."

Speed ​​symbolizes conciseness.

"But I'm not really keen to talk right now—are you busy too?"

"Yes, there is a small matter..."

Shinji Kitahara hesitated for a moment. Although he felt the atmosphere was not quite right, he thought that he didn't know when they would meet again, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"Um, senior, it's like this, I recently made a deal with Miss Sirius, it's about the Sirius symbol of the Symbol family..."

Some time later, Shinji Kitahara told the Symbol of Speed ​​about his promise to help the Symbol of Sirius find a match, and then said that if anything unexpected happened...

For example, if I get caught by the Symbolist and taken to the basement, or something like that, I'd appreciate it if you could lend a hand...

Although he felt it was unlikely, Shinji Kitahara always thought it was better to be prepared.

However, he noticed that after he finished speaking, the senior horse girl's expression seemed to become a little strange, as if... she was suppressing something.

"Um, senior, if that doesn't work, I can use my..."

"Yes, of course."

Speed ​​symbolizes clenching fists and trying to maintain the expression on one's face.

"Coincidentally, that's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about."

"How's your preparation for the blind date I arranged for you going?"

Chapter 202: What do you mean by that?

Black market, arranged marriage, Daisuke Kamisato...

After parting ways with his senior, Ma Musume, Kitahara Shinji was in a real bind, and even considered running away with his bucket right then and there.

But he only thought about it.

The responsibilities towards the children under my care, the situation with the chairman and Ms. Junchuan, and those promises made but not yet fulfilled...

Whether he likes it or not, he has to admit that he has already made connections with many people, and there is no reason or way for him to just walk away like he used to.

Perhaps because of the previous failure, the 'black market' has been relatively quiet lately, and Shinji Kitahara has not encountered any further accidents. Time has passed peacefully until the latter half of December.

Having confirmed that he could control the power within his body and that the time was almost up, Shinji Kitahara returned to Treson Academy and resumed his life, which at least appeared peaceful on the surface.

Then, as time went by, the several matches that had been scheduled for the latter half of December began one after another.

However, there's not much to say about these few matches.

In fact, the horse girls under Shinji Kitahara's command are all quite outstanding. Even without him, even if it were just Mataichi helping with the training, they would definitely achieve very good results.

After he intervened, not only were those already outstanding talents developed to a considerable extent, but even their weaknesses were also addressed.

While they may not all be considered all-around fighters, they have all far surpassed their peers and naturally achieved victory in their respective competitions.

They practically swept the first year's G1 championship, achieved the Autumn Triple Crown for Alien Digital, and had the continuous appearance of Ryougi Mikoto...

While the outside world generally focuses more on the horses participating in the races of horse races, it pays less attention to the trainers behind them.

However, such outrageous results, especially since they all came from the same team, inevitably attracted more attention and discussion, no matter how much the trainer's role is behind the scenes.

The forums within Tresson, the external network, and even the dark web within the black market...

Following his string of victories, Shinji Kitahara's name began to appear more frequently in various places, trending on social media multiple times, and he had become a well-known celebrity both inside and outside Teresa. Reporters also began to stake out him outside the school.

Logically speaking, Shinji Kitahara should be happy now that he has achieved such good results.

But in reality, looking at his own name in the news on his phone screen, Shinji Kitahara frowned and his eyes grew increasingly melancholy.

"Misfortunes never come singly, though good fortune never comes in pairs..."

He already had a lot of things to worry about lately, and now this has happened.

Although he had anticipated this beforehand and had taken certain countermeasures,

For example, they intensified their efforts to smear themselves and attributed the credit for winning the game to Xiaoyouyi and the other assistant trainers, trying to distance themselves from the situation.

However, it seems that these measures have had very limited effect so far. The outside world's attention has finally focused on him, and it has certainly attracted the attention of the horse-woman families.

But that wasn't what worried him the most.

Although the attention from the Ma Niang family is dangerous, this matter has only just begun, and it's almost the end of December. If everyone is busy celebrating the New Year, they will definitely pay less attention to him, at least giving him some buffer time.

The problem is, while this issue might be temporarily alleviated due to the Lunar New Year, other problems, like blind dates, blind dates, and more blind dates, are about to be thrust into his face...

In the scene with the senior horse girl, in the scene with the elderly horse girl at the clothing store, he had to attend the event symbolized by Rudolf, and he also agreed to participate in the matchmaking event symbolized by Sirius. And throughout all of this, he still played the role of Tsuna's boyfriend on the surface...

Although he knew perfectly well that it was all an act, and that they were actually just a group of pitiful people pressured to get married forming a fake alliance, and that they only considered him a friend, he had absolutely no improper thoughts about them.

But for some reason, recently, especially after I started to be able to skillfully control that 'power'.

Whenever he thinks about these things, especially when he recalls how they usually treat him, Shinji Kitahara feels inexplicably uneasy, as if something is amiss.

Is it a side effect of that power? Or is it for some other reason...?

Shinji Kitahara pondered as he twirled the pale pink light around his fingers, weaving it nimbly between them as he continued his daily training.

However, he quickly dissipated the shimmering light on his hand and stopped pondering the source of that feeling.

Feelings are feelings, but these trivial details can be tested slowly when there's time later.

He had more pressing and important things to consider right now, so he simply put that aside and started thinking about how to handle the upcoming blind date.

Should I bring my good friend Ms. Grass? Should I ask Miss Junchuan for help? Or perhaps I should ask the invincible Empress for assistance? Who should I bring to cause trouble...?

"What difficulties has the trainer Kitahara encountered?"

"It's nothing, just a little trouble... hmm?"

Shinji Kitahara answered instinctively, then looked up after realizing what was happening. A head of long, light blue hair came into view, beneath which was a fair-skinned, delicate face with a faint smile.

"...Ardan? What are you doing here?"

"I just came out for a walk and happened to end up here."

As Meguro Aldan spoke, he naturally sat down next to Kitahara Shinji, then smiled at him and spoke softly.

"So, Trainer Kitahara, what problems have you encountered? Can you tell me about them?"

"I might be able to help."

......

Meanwhile, in the Student Union Room.

As the year draws to a close, the workload of the student union is gradually increasing.

After a busy day at work, Narita Shirahito, who had been feeling down all day, was the first to slip away. Then the other members also said goodbye to Rudolf and left the student council room one after another, preparing to go back to their dormitories or apartments to get some rest.

But unlike the others, when Sirius symbol was about to leave with Maruzensky, Rudolf symbol suddenly called her back.

"Sirius, wait a moment, I have something I'd like to talk to you about."

Although they had always been at odds, and Sirius had only come to help because he was dragged along by others, Sirius ultimately did not refuse, seeing that Rudolf seemed to have something important to discuss.

Sitting in the chair, fiddling with his phone, he looked up at the symbol of Rudolf in the main seat after everyone else had left.

"Alright, everyone else has left. I wonder what unspeakable matter our 'great' 'Emperor' has to discuss with me in private?"

Faced with Sirius's obviously sarcastic words, Rudolf, who was used to bickering with her in private, was not angry, but did not answer immediately, as if he was struggling with something.

Upon seeing her like this, Sirius frowned.

"Rudolph, just say what you need to say. I have things to do later and don't have time to waste here with you."

Upon hearing this, Rudolf remained silent for a few seconds, then slowly raised his head.

"Are you talking about going to work for Trainer Kitahara?"

"So what?"

Sirius Symbol was not surprised that Rudolf Symbol knew this, but sensed something unusual in her words.

"What, is what you're talking about related to him?"

"It's not just about him, it's also related to you."

Rudolf raised his head and looked directly into the eyes symbolized by Sirius.

"According to the information I've received recently, it seems that the two of you are getting a little too close."

Upon hearing this, the Sirius symbol paused for a moment, then realized what she meant. A hint of hostility appeared in her eyes as she looked at the Rudolf symbol, and her tone unconsciously became more forceful.
