I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

Chapter 301: The only one

Excluding the Emperor of the East Sea doesn't mean that Shanish has any issues with him.

On the contrary, she quite admired the child.

But it was precisely because she admired him that she couldn't take the child with her.

After all, she has a lot of important things to do, so she can't let anything trivial interfere with her.

Then the next day arrived.

After a rare good night's sleep, Shinji Kitahara felt refreshed.

Then when he woke up, he opened his eyes and saw horse girls lying on him in various positions or hugging parts of his body.

These kids are really...

Although I didn't know when they had changed into thin pajamas, I didn't know why I felt a vague sense of unease.

But seeing that they really hadn't done anything to themselves, not even messing up their clothes.

Shinji Kitahara blushed slightly.

Because of what happened before, he thought yesterday that these little guys were planning to do something to him.

Looking back now, it seems he was overthinking things.

These kids genuinely wanted to take care of him because they saw how hard he was working, but he remained suspicious...

Why do I feel like I'm getting dizzy?

Shaking his head to clear the strange thought from his mind, Shinji Kitahara carefully withdrew from them, got dressed, and began his work.

Although the Emperor of the East Sea demanded that she be nurtured with all his might, Kitahara Shinji had more than just her, and it was impossible for him to favor one over the other.

Of course, this point was also mentioned by Shinji Kitahara and the Emperor of the East Sea, with the latter expressing his agreement.

After all, having a strong opponent can be helpful in breaking through limits.

Having decided to do his best, and out of a sense of responsibility for the children, Shinji Kitahara began preparations well in advance.

Training plans, new running techniques, medication supplements, and...

Top-notch care.

"Um, Trainer, this..."

Although it was a request I made myself, and I did indeed make the decision.

But looking at Shinji Kitahara standing by the nursing bed, his face serious and ready to go, I recalled how I felt before.

The Emperor of the East Sea couldn't help but tremble.

And it wasn't just her; looking at Kitahara Shinji over there, the expressions on the other female riders' faces also seemed rather unnatural.

It wasn't that they didn't want to be close to Kitahara Shinji, but this thing...

It's definitely a tough situation.

Shinji Kitahara is not the type to force others.

Looking at the troubled faces of the little pony girls, he pondered for a while.

"As long as you do your best, after the chrysanthemum appreciation, I can grant you any wish that I can do."

"Two more people will be added to the list of those who ultimately win."

If you mention this, they won't be sleepy anymore.

Although they were still hesitant in their minds, their bodies began to act on their own after Shinji Kitahara made his statement.

Then......

There's no after that.

Although he didn't use his full strength, Shinji Kitahara did it to the maximum extent that their bodies could tolerate.

While the results were outstanding, the costs were equally significant.

The fact that Ma Niang, who had fainted in a row on the bed, is the best proof of that.

It's worth mentioning that Necha doesn't plan to participate in the Chrysanthemum Appreciation, and he doesn't even intend to participate in the subsequent competitions.

Shinji Kitahara was shocked when he first received the news and tried to persuade her.

"If you feel there's something wrong with your running style, or that it's not good, I can help you modify it..."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Necha's running style.

It might be easy to criticize, or it might not be so glorious, but isn't that what competition is all about? She didn't commit any fouls.

Besides, if it doesn't work, he can always change her running style; at worst, he can just stop using gate techniques altogether.

but......

That's not the reason.

In fact, Necha didn't think there was anything wrong with using gate running.

She even somewhat enjoyed the feeling.

She withdrew from the competition for other reasons.

"Because I feel that there are many other things I can do compared to running."

She crossed her legs and smiled calmly.

Perhaps because she has always been third in line, compared to the other female horses, Nechika's competitive spirit is surprisingly low.

Especially after she met Shinji Kitahara, her already limited desire to win was further clouded.

Now, after talking with Shanish, she has a clearer understanding of her own nature.

Does she crave victory? Is it first place? Or the spotlight?

These questions, which she had never considered before, surfaced in her mind, and were then rejected one by one.

Finally, after eliminating those distracting thoughts, she saw her true self.

What she has always craved has never been victory.

It is happiness.

There were no grand visions, no wild ideas.

She simply wanted an ordinary and simple happiness.

And now, her happiness is within reach.

“Necha, you have a long future ahead of you, you have many possibilities. There’s no need for you to give up the competition. Even if you just want to win some prize money, it will help pave the way for your future…”

"Ok, I know."

Nachi nodded, looking directly into Kitahara Shinji's eyes.

"But I don't think I need that kind of thing."

"How could I not need it? These days, you can't get anywhere without money..."

Shinji Kitahara attempted to offer advice.

Necha tilted his head.

"Isn't there still you?"

"...What do you take me for? An ATM?"

Shinji Kitahara retorted.

"I'm not trying to be mean, Neta, but you really need to think about your future..."

Shinji Kitahara's voice gradually faded away.

Even the most oblivious and the most secretive person would realize something was wrong when faced with Necha's overly obvious gaze.

"Didn't you say I would be a good wife?"

She smiled as she looked at Shinji Kitahara.

“Then naturally, the husband will be in charge of making money.”

“Necha, you…”

"I just don't want to push myself that hard on the track anymore, but that doesn't mean I won't in other areas."

She leaned over and threw herself into Shinji Kitahara's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and looking up at him.

"Or is it that someone, after messing up my body, intends to just walk away and ignore me completely?"

"Just like before."

The so-called gate technique has never been something that can only be used on the field.

Just like now.

She wants to use her future to hold back Shinji Kitahara.

If it were before, or when they had just reunited, even if she knew how to use the gate-locking technique, she wouldn't have been able to use it to stop Kitahara Shinji.

But as Shanish said, this guy is too easily swayed by soft approaches.

Boil the frog in warm water.

Although even Neta herself hadn't realized it, after Shanish pointed it out, she realized that the water temperature on her side was already high enough.

Then the rest will fall into place naturally.

While he was still in a daze, I pressed him down and sat on him.

Bending over and lowering one's head.

"I promise you, I will be the best wife."

But that's for the future.

But even if we go back to the present, she would no longer be third.

Rather, it was between them.

only.

Chapter 302: The Deal is Established

Um......

Well...

what......

Sitting in a corner of the training field, Shinji Kitahara held a bottle of water in his hand, looking melancholy.

It had been quite a while since he was pressed down by Necha, but he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

He wasn't powerless to resist at the time; in fact, if he wanted to, he could have stopped it from happening without even having to exert any force.

But just as Necha had planned, she used her future to shut down all his escape routes, leaving him no way to even resist.

After all, as she said, he had to take responsibility for the way he had put her in this state.

After the dance, Necha didn't make a fuss like the others. Although he usually avoided eye contact, he didn't let anyone else notice.

However, the other pony girls are unaware of what's going on between the two.

But after the dance, the changes that occurred in Necha were truly evident to everyone.

That was a red ribbon.

The exact material is unknown, but it feels very soft and smooth to the touch.

Necha didn't know how he had produced those ribbons.

In short, after recognizing her own desires and completing the dance, she almost instinctively called out those things.

It's like a domain, but it gives people a completely different feeling.

Restraint, gatekeeper, happiness...
