I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

"what happened?"

"If you're having any financial troubles, I can help you out."

Hearing her words, Shinji Kitahara rolled his eyes.

"No thanks. I don't want to make money by selling my body to you as a guinea pig. After all, I think my life is more important than money."

"It's okay if we don't try the drug."

But Alice's answer surprised him, and her eyes were unusually serious.

"Don't make that face. I'm serious. After all, you've helped me a lot lately and even ordered the final outfit for me. If possible, I'd like to offer you some assistance in any way I can."

"Then forget it."

Even though Alice said that, Shinji Kitahara still shook his head.

"I appreciate your kindness, but as a trainer, I'd better not borrow money from Ma Niang. If you really care, just train hard and bring me more prize money and a share of the profits during the competition."

"Borrow? I never said I was borrowing, Mr. Guinea Pig."

But Alice still didn't give up and persisted.

"I mean, is it okay if it's as payment for your help?"

"Wouldn't that be even more outrageous?"

Shinji Kitahara looked helpless and complained.

"And the person taking care of you is Aili Digital, right? If you really want to repay them, why don't you give them some salary?"

"She just won a G1 title last year, and she's not short of money."

Alice was genuinely annoyed by this person's inexplicable stubbornness. She angrily swung her sleeve at him, muttering words like "mere guinea pig" and "idiot" as she did so.

Shinji Kitahara pretended not to hear, and since swinging his sleeves didn't hurt, but rather felt quite cool, he ignored her.

However, although he didn't react much, the East Sea Emperor on the other side of his body was not as calm as he was, watching the interaction between the two people beside him.

To be clear, she has no ill intentions toward her trainer, San.

However, this woman, Alice, is far too dangerous. Her actions just now seemed to be an attempt to lure her trainer, San, with money.

Although she said nice things, who knows if she was actually trying to use this opportunity to cultivate a spending habit in her trainer, and then later use loans to control him, forcing him to cooperate with her in dangerous experiments, or even worse...

The Emperor of the East Sea thought this was very likely.

Therefore, in order to protect her trainer, San, she felt it was necessary to stand up for her.

"Hey, trainer."

The Emperor of the East Sea also turned his head and spoke, feigning composure.

"As for the economy, Your Majesty the Invincible Emperor has no problem either. If you really have difficulties in this area, you can rely on me."

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Shinji Kitahara sighed and said helplessly.

“I know you’re complaining about my clothes, but the problem is I really don’t have that much income right now. These two outfits have already drained my salary, and I still need to keep some for living expenses. I really don’t have any extra money left for this.”

"That's why I already said I could help you with this."

"Why don't you just have the invincible emperor help you solve it?"

"Forget it. I would never do something like a trainer borrowing money from the supervisor. You guys should just shut up for a bit."

Shinji Kitahara remained unmoved.

But seeing the two people beside him who were determined not to give up no matter what, he thought about it and then backed down.

"Or, if all else fails, and you really think this is inappropriate, then I'll just borrow some from other trainers..."

"no!"

The Emperor of the East Sea and Elisako spoke in unison.

Shinji Kitahara was startled by their sudden, unanimous reaction, and his expression gradually became confused after he came to his senses.

No, weren't you two just complaining about this and that, trying to get him to lend you money to buy clothes? Why do you seem a little angry now that you're actually going to lend him the money?

The Emperor of the East Sea and Alice only realized something was off after they finished speaking.

The East Sea Emperor, who was a little more sensitive, stiffened up as he realized that his previous remarks seemed to have a different meaning, and a sense of panic began to rise within him.

While silently reminding himself that he only wanted to protect his trainer, he began to struggle with how to explain his actions.

As for Alice on the other side, she was somewhat flustered, but since she was a bit thick-skinned, she didn't show it on the surface. She just glanced at herself and quickly gave an explanation.

"It's only been a month since the start of the semester, and you're already borrowing money from a colleague. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Alice shrugged.

"Besides, I still need to run a business at the school. If you, as my trainer, are exposed for having financial problems, my business might be affected."

What do you mean by "your trainer"? She's just a mere horse girl from a team.

The Emperor of the East Sea was very dissatisfied with the way Airi Suzuko was addressed, but since he couldn't think of a better explanation, he echoed Airi Suzuko's statement, saying that if he lent money to his colleague, it would affect her image in the eyes of others.

She dresses so well herself and drinks so many expensive honey drinks every day, yet she makes the trainers eat free meals in the cafeteria and wear cheap clothes. People who don't know the situation might think she's stingy.

Shinji Kitahara found Tokai Emperor's explanation both laughable and exasperating. After all, it was the trainers who took care of the main character; how could someone like the main character, a student, especially one who hadn't even raced yet, be expected to pay the trainers...?

Oh, it seems there are quite a few.

It seems that quite a few of those young ladies and mistresses actually do this, and some even go so far as to keep mistresses, which is fine.

Although such things are not uncommon in Tressen, Shinji Kitahara still does not intend to accept the two's help.

On the one hand, it's out of the trainer's principles, and on the other hand, it's out of concern that too much financial entanglement might bring them closer together, or even lead to some unexpected incidents.

Another reason is that he doesn't like the feeling of owing others anything.

"Well then, since none of you will be competing after this match, I'll buy myself a nice outfit once my salary arrives next month. Is that alright?"

Is this a problem with the clothes?!

However, although it wasn't a matter of clothing, because of what had just happened, neither the Emperor of the East Sea nor Alice had any intention of going any further. After exchanging a glance, they reluctantly nodded in agreement to his proposal.

Even so, the two still said that if he needed money, he could come to them, and they would lend or give him money—but this was only for them, and no one else was allowed to do so.

Although Shinji Kitahara couldn't understand their strange insistence, he couldn't persuade them in the end, so he nodded helplessly, looked out the window, and sighed.

Children's tempers are really hard to understand...

Chapter 65: It seems like I'm about to be in big trouble.

Not long after they finished talking about Shinji Kitahara's clothes, the vehicle arrived at the venue for the basic competition.

After getting off the bus and entering the venue, we went to the organizer to get the key to the temporary event room, and then went over there.

Since it was the first time any member of the team had participated in a competition, and there were three of them at once, Shinji Kitahara simply brought the entire team along. Besides making it more exciting, it would also allow Special Week and the other two to familiarize themselves with the competition process and environment in advance.

After entering the temporary activity room and putting everything away, Shinji Kitahara called the three horse girls who were preparing to participate together and then took out the materials he had received from the organizers.

The information shows that there are a total of five matches today, two in the morning and three in the afternoon.

The matches between the East Sea Emperor and the Eclipse are in the afternoon, so there is plenty of time to prepare and there is no need to rush.

Alice's match was in the morning, or more precisely, two hours later, so Shinji Kitahara turned his attention to her and then spoke.

"How are you feeling now? Or do you feel like there's anything wrong?"

Even if they're going to tank, they still have to fulfill their basic duties as trainers, including but not limited to various pre-match investigations and preparations, as well as condition checks and adjustments before the start of the competition.

However, thanks to the existence of AILI Digital, he can skip over a whole bunch of events and fast forward directly to the final status check and adjustment.

When faced with his question, Alice remained calm and answered frankly.

"It's just a basic match. I'm not so timid as to get nervous over something like this. As for problems... I do have a lot of problems, but I have no problems with this match."

"That's good."

Shinji Kitahara nodded, then spoke.

"Then let's stick to the plan. Rest for an hour first, then start warming up. Remember to use the running method I taught you, and don't exert too much effort. Right now, your focus is on resting and recuperating..."

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand, I understand."

Because it was something that had been discussed beforehand, and she had even participated in formulating the plan herself, Alice was very perfunctory when faced with Kitahara Shinji's nagging, and she even flicked her sleeves while doing so.

Shinji Kitahara knew that this was her personality, so he wasn't dissatisfied at all, and he wasn't worried at all that she might cause an accident by being perfunctory or underestimating her opponent.

Because he knew very well that although Alice appeared frivolous, playful, and cynical on the surface, she was actually quite calm and reliable on the inside. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to avoid being sent to Treson's solitary confinement even once, despite causing so much trouble.

Although she seems very perfunctory and impatient now, Shinji Kitahara is willing to bet that this woman probably memorized all the planned tactics and strategies before she came, and she will definitely carry them out word for word when they are executed.

After all, even if she's a mad scientist, she's still a racehorse girl at heart, and a racehorse girl with exceptional talent and strength, capable of being called a top-tier racehorse girl. How could she not crave victory?

Despite the circumstances, and even though he knew she probably wouldn't need his impromptu nagging, out of duty as a trainer, he still went over the planned schedule with her from the beginning, despite her impatient and perfunctory responses.

After he finished speaking, Shinji Kitahara put away the paddle and looked at her again.

"That's the plan. Do you have any other questions?"

That's all for now.

After finally listening to all the rambling, Alice breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded in agreement before going to prepare for the match.

But just as she was about to do so, she caught a glimpse of the East Sea Emperor out of the corner of her eye, and a strange emotion flashed in his jewel-like eyes.

The nod that was about to be made suddenly stopped, and the words of agreement were left unsaid.

There were no related steps in the plan, but when her gaze swept over the East Sea Emperor, especially her legs, several memories of the clothing store and the training ground involuntarily flashed through her mind, and a strange emotion began to grow in her heart.

Are her legs really that good? They're clearly just average...

Alice felt that the main reason for this situation was that Guinea Pig was not knowledgeable enough, and as his owner, she needed to correct his aesthetic sense.

So, as the silence fermented, a bold idea gradually took shape in her mind.

"Wait, Mr. Guinea Pig, I suddenly remembered something."

"What's wrong?" Shinji Kitahara asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"It's not a big deal."

She smiled, and the tail behind her began to wag involuntarily.

"Didn't you say before that I had a lot of potential problems with my legs? I consulted some other people who know about this, and they said that pre-race care can reduce the risk of accidents..."

"speak English."

"Give me a leg massage."

As Alice spoke, she lifted her white coat and deliberately exposed her legs completely to Shinji Kitahara, while the swaying of her tail behind her increased slightly.

Those are really nice legs.

Because horse girls are naturally inclined to run, and the structure that supports running is their legs, horse girls' legs are generally more attractive than those of human women.

Many people have a misconception about horse girls, especially racehorse girls, thinking that they run all day and therefore must have strong muscles in their legs. But this is a misconception.

It might be due to the blessing of the three goddesses, or perhaps some other factor.

Although horse girls, especially racehorse girls, train almost all day long and their physical fitness is constantly improving, they are unlikely to develop obvious muscles like human athletes unless they deliberately do muscle-building exercises.

However, this doesn't mean that exercise has no impact on their bodies. Although their muscles don't evolve as noticeably as humans, their effects on other aspects are still significant.

Unlike human women who lack exercise, horse girls' legs generally look healthier.

Moreover, due to long-term training, their physique, leg shape, and overall proportions are much better than those of ordinary human women, especially professional racehorse girls.

An anonymous user once made a outrageous statement in the anonymous forum, saying that compared to the looks of the racehorse girls, their legs were actually the essence of their bodies, which sparked a huge debate and the post stayed at the top of the anonymous forum for a whole week.

Contrary to popular belief, those who disagreed with the questioner did not think that the horse's face was better. Instead, they believed that the horse's legs, especially the racehorse's feet, were the most exquisite part of the horse.

Regardless of the outcome of this debate, just looking at the legs that Alice is currently displaying, they certainly live up to the outrageous statement made by the questioner.

Slender, well-proportioned, slightly delicate but not too thin, with a very full and fleshy feel.

Especially with the high-end stockings covering it, which shimmered softly under the lights of the event room.

You don't even need to touch it yourself; just watching it from the sidelines is enough to imagine the wonderful feel and the alluring aroma.

Then, looking at those legs, Shinji Kitahara hesitated.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't have any particular interest in Alice's legs.
