I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

"What about the first half?"

"You've already finished the first half."

Shinji Kitahara was taken aback, then suddenly realized something.

Building reputation, countering the black market, transforming the Black Forest, and all sorts of other miscellaneous events...

Adding to the information I heard yesterday, the sudden appearance of the solar eclipse, and the current reaction...

The plan had already been laid, but he, being involved, was unaware of it.

"Is everything going according to your plan, Eclipse?"

Shinji Kitahara looked at the solar eclipse in front of him with a complicated expression.

She had long anticipated the choice she would make after knowing everything, and then secretly plotted everything, making it all happen naturally as it is now.

The Eclipse did not answer, but simply watched him silently.

Shinji Kitahara also looked at the solar eclipse and felt that the black rice dumpling in front of him was completely unfamiliar. He also felt a little suppressed emotion rising in his heart.

Was she really that smart? Then what about all his efforts over the years?

If he had known better, he would have given up thinking earlier and clung to the eclipse, and he could have saved himself so much trouble!

Shinji Kitahara is now filled with regret, deep regret.

As for whether he would blame her for the arrangement of the solar eclipse?

For neither of them, there was even a need to ask this question.

"So what are you going to do?"

Although Eclipse said she wouldn't need him for the second half and could do it herself, given their relationship, it was no different from Kitahara Shinji still being in charge.

"The Empress is still a child, and she has no experience in this area..."

"Children can grow up, and experience can be cultivated."

The eclipse turned its head to look at the still bewildered Emperor of the East Sea.

"In fact, she already possessed the relevant abilities, but lacked some conditions."

"But now, these conditions have been met."

"She will personally draw down the curtain on the era of Uma Musume."

"But at the same time, she will also usher in a new era."

Chapter 291: Temperature

What exactly is the new era? The answer to this question varies from person to person.

As for the solar eclipse, although it is said that the emperor of the East Sea is to usher in a new era, she does not actually know or care about what a new era is.

Her current actions are not for any grand purpose, nor do they stem from any extraordinary wisdom—in fact, one could say she doesn't particularly enjoy using her brain.

She simply thought that Shinji Kitahara would choose this path after learning the truth, so she made some preparations in advance.

Take Shanish, for example. In her original plan, a new era could only be defined by the absence of horse girls.

As long as the horse girl exists in the human world, and as long as the three goddesses still shroud the human realm, no matter what changes are made, they will eventually return to the starting point.

Even now, she still doesn't believe in the Three Goddesses, but has temporarily chosen to wait and see because of Shinji Kitahara's existence.

As for the new era in the eyes of the three goddesses...

"How about we bring out some racing girls? After all, in many other worlds, cars have replaced horses."

"It doesn't feel as popular as ship girl anime..."

"How about we try holding an SBR competition?"

Clearly, none of the three clowns' suggestions were reliable.

It's not that it's not feasible at all, but after all, the new era has just begun, and taking big steps at the beginning is bound to cause problems. The specific plan still needs to be discussed.

As for Shinji Kitahara in the end...

After confirming that the Emperor of the East Sea was in stable condition, Kitahara Shinji did not linger in the same spot.

After all, it's the horse girls' dormitory, and it wouldn't be good for him to stay there for too long—of course, not for the horse girls, but because he was worried it would have a bad influence on the trainers.

The eclipse, unusually, did not leave with him, but instead indicated that it wanted to stay with the Emperor of the East Sea for a while.

Overwhelmed by the information, Shinji Kitahara also wanted to be alone, so he nodded and left alone.

He originally intended to go back to his dormitory, but after thinking about the potential presence of a bunch of female horse breeders there, he changed course and went to Old Horse's clothing store.

Although quite some time has passed since I entered Tressen and many things have happened during that time, Old Ma's clothing store remains exactly the same as when Shinji Kitahara first came here.

Because of school, Tamamo Cross didn't come to work today. The old lady behind the counter was studying something on the table by herself, and she didn't look up when Kitahara Shinji came in.

If we go back a bit, she would probably be interested in the now more pronounced 'mark' on Kitahara Shinji, wondering what he had gotten into this time, and why he had come alone today.

But just as someone who has been immersed in honey for too long will lose their sense of taste for sweetness, after this happened many times, Old Ma's mother gradually became a little tired of it.

Repeating the same routine a hundred times will turn even the best work into a bad one, not to mention that Old Ma was once a legendary figure who had seen many ups and downs.

So recently, after getting used to it, even though the scent on Kitahara Shinji's body kept getting stronger and the marks kept piling up, she was no longer as surprised as before, and would even occasionally exclaim, "That's it?"

After all, if you think about it carefully, Shinji Kitahara has already provoked every terrifying being he could possibly mess with.

The symbolic family, the Mejiro family, and the Satomi family she personally delivered...

He had already provoked the most important ones, so the rest were nothing compared to them, and his interest naturally waned.

Although his story is already legendary enough, this kid's career is probably over.

After all, he's almost finished clearing the entire Treson Academy. Even if you said he'd taken down the chairman of the board, Old Ma wouldn't be too surprised.

but......

"Grandma, what do you think the future of humans and horse girls should be like?"

Kitahara Shinji's question made Old Ma's brows twitch, and she looked up in surprise.

"Did a horse kick your brain?"

Old Ma's surprise was not without reason, after all, Kitahara Shinji was the kind of person who was easygoing and even a little afraid of trouble.

It's not that he rarely mentioned anything, but rather that he never brought up any grand but empty topics in front of her, especially those unrelated to himself.

Shinji Kitahara was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply.

"I really hope I've been kicked in the head by a horse, or that this is all just a nightmare..."

These words immediately piqued Old Ma's interest, making her sense that something amusing was coming, and she stopped what she was doing.

"what happens?"

Shinji Kitahara thought for a moment.

"To put it simply, I just had a conversation with the three goddesses..."

Old Ma's wife: "...?"

Because he trusted Old Ma's mother, Kitahara Shinji didn't hide anything and simply recounted what had happened to her.

When I first heard the beginning, Old Ma's mother had already picked up her phone, intending to call the Tresson Hospital and have the psychiatric department come and arrest the person.

But after hearing the rest, especially when the topic of the solar eclipse came up, Old Ma's mother quietly put down her phone, and some questions that had been troubling her for years were finally answered.

The Three Goddesses, Malice, the Future of the World...

She once thought that as a legend of the past, although she had never competed on the field, she had at least had contact with and familiarity with various top players, so she wouldn't be surprised no matter what Shinji Kitahara said.

But she had never seen this situation before.

"Wait a minute, let me sort this out..."

For the first time, Old Ma's mother held her head, showing a pained expression.

"This is none of your business as a mere trainer... Never mind, never mind."

Old Ma's mother originally wanted to say that he might be a bit too trusting, after all, he was just a trainer, and the future of the world was not his concern.

But considering his connection to the solar eclipse, and the terrifying influence he is currently unaware of...

Have you told anyone else about this?

"Not yet, after all..."

"Then I recommend you go and discuss it with that little girl from the Symbol family."

Old Ma's mother has a clear understanding of her own abilities. Although she was once a legend, she is just a tailor. She can design the winning outfits, but designing the future of the world is out of the question.

The reason she recommended Kitahara Shinji to find Rudolf Symbol was not because she thought Rudolf Symbol was particularly capable; on the contrary, she felt that the young girl's knowledge in this area was inferior to her own.

But that little girl's surname is Symbol.

This means that if Shinji Kitahara goes to talk to her, then a certain old woman from the Symbol family will definitely get the news.

She didn't expect the old woman to do anything in this regard, but if the old woman got the news, she would definitely be in more trouble than she was.

After all, he's all alone now, but that old woman has a large and powerful family. If she finds out about this...

Old Ma's mother was so happy just thinking about it that she wanted to burst out laughing.

Hmm? You're asking how to solve the problem?

She didn't care about any of that; she was just a tailor, and it was enough for her to sew the winning outfit well.

"So, you just need to do what you can do."

With a tap on Kitahara Shinji's forehead with the ruler in her hand, Old Ma's expression returned to normal.

"As for the rest, why are you thinking so much about it? What's the point?"

Shinji Kitahara thought for a moment.

It seems, probably, that's indeed the case.

Then a new question arises: what can he do?

Regardless of the eclipse, he was just an ordinary human trainer, he...

"Actually, you can do a lot of things, can't you?"

Shanish's voice suddenly rang out.

Shinji Kitahara subconsciously thought he had been pulled into Shanish's domain again, but when he looked up, he found that he was still in Old Ma's shop, and even Old Ma seemed to have heard that voice.

The next second, the pure white horse girl sat down next to him and naturally took his hand, her pink pupils rippling with tears.

But Shinji Kitahara's focus wasn't on her face, but rather on the sensation he felt in her hands.

It's no longer an ethereal touch, but a real, tangible fleshy sensation.

It still carries the warmth of a living person.

Chapter 292: Shanish

Shinji Kitahara never expected to see Shanish here.

What surprised him even more was that the other party could appear in front of him in this form.

After all, in his eyes, Shanish and Sunday tranquility are similar in nature, both being beings without physical bodies.

but now......

Feeling the warmth emanating from his hand, and realizing what was happening, Shinji Kitahara immediately had a multitude of thoughts running through his mind.

Is this some kind of new technology? If possible, could Zhou Ri Ningjing also have a body? And if she had a body, could she...?

"So the horse can jump?"

Shanish looked at Kitahara Shinji and said calmly.

“My method doesn’t work for that guy, but actually it wouldn’t be too difficult for her to have a body that can be seen by others if she wanted to.”

"...Can you read minds?"

"No, it's just that your expression is more familiar."
