The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

Just thinking about it made Kitano's fists stiffen. And now that the Speed ​​Symbol had found him, he probably had similar thoughts.

It’s broken, this wave has been sent.

Kitano's face turned pale as he thought about this. He even started to consider whether he should start over right where he was, lest he be caught in a sack and drowned in Tokyo Bay at some point...

Thinking this way, Kitano trembled as he stayed beside the symbol of speed. Ji Zhao, who had been following the two of them, also looked at Kitano with a rather strange expression, his face turning pale and blue...

"Boy, sit here with me."

The Speed ​​Symbol walked over to a seat and sat down with the trembling Kitano. Then, feeling that the atmosphere was about right, he finally couldn't contain his curiosity and turned to Kitano beside him and asked, "Kitano... I already know about you and Rudolph."

"I'm curious about one thing right now—please explain the reason why you broke up with my precious granddaughter. I want to hear the details."

The Speed ​​Symbol was now very curious about how her precious granddaughter had managed to fall in love, and how it had actually failed. This was not like her style.

Of course, the symbol of speed wanted to know more about the details of the broken talks - his granddaughter didn't have too much negative information, and now that he finally had another one, he had to know everything so that he could find a chance to make fun of her later.

Chapter 279: A symbol of speed with a completely different attitude?

For the symbol of speed, if her precious granddaughter was bullied, she, as a grandmother, would definitely be the first to object. However, no one would be so blind as to bully the symbol's family.

But if there is a man who dares to deceive the daughter of their family and sleep with her without taking responsibility, there is no need for them to act quickly. The girls of the family know how to make a decisive decision and will never let that kind of man have an easy time.

But the premise of these questions is that this object is not someone else, but the symbol of Ludo.

That domineering and tyrannical "Emperor" Luduo Zhiwu, who is so arrogant in the Zhiwu family that even the head of the family looks down on him!

In the entire Symbol family, there are only a handful of people who dare to provoke Rudolf Symbol. Apart from Sirius and the two girls, Ji Zhao, who are not afraid of Rudolf, only the head of the family, Speed ​​Symbol, can control Rudolf Symbol, but he can only control him.

For the symbol of speed, this granddaughter who made her worry, had enjoyed the best treatment and training from the symbol family since she was a child, but she turned the pride of the symbol family into an arrogant horse racing girl who was fearless and had no scruples at all.

For the rest of the family, Rudolph is an existence that most of them cannot reach. She is the head of the family's favorite granddaughter, the next heir to the symbolic family, and the first horse girl in Japanese history to be called the "Horse King". She is a true legend.

Only the symbol of speed knows how much of a worry his granddaughter is... She used to be a well-behaved child, but ever since she ran the fastest among her peers in the family and was seen to have the potential to be a horse racing girl, Rudolph has become more and more ferocious.

Perhaps it was because she was too depressed by the strict education she received from her symbolic family, or perhaps it was because her victories among her peers aroused her competitive spirit.

With each victory, Rudolf's status in the family became higher and higher, and her desire to win and fighting spirit also became stronger and stronger as her prestige increased.

She even got mad at her mother when she got home because she failed to accurately put the opponent down by one horse length after winning a family competition. Because of this incident, the speed symbol who loved his daughter was so angry that he pulled out all five wolves, but Rudolph was stubborn and didn't say a word after being beaten.

It was also because of this incident that the Symbol of Speed ​​drove Rudolph away from the family and sent her to Tresen Academy, hoping that she could grow as an official horse girl there.

Unexpectedly, Rudolph, who was unbeatable in Tresen College, became more and more rampant day by day, especially after he officially became the undefeated triple champion. Rudolph's arrogant "tyrant" image almost made the old lady faint from anger.

But even so, Rudolph is still the pride of the Symbol family and the Speed ​​Symbol's most beloved granddaughter. Although the Speed ​​Symbol was furious at the time, he did not stop it. He also hoped that such a Rudolph might be more suitable to control everything in the Symbol family.

——But, having said that, seeing that his arrogant granddaughter was actually defeated by a man, Speed ​​Symbol was surprised but also extremely happy.

The silly girl finally stopped being complacent. No matter who this man was, this alone made Speed ​​Symbol extremely "admirable." This was also one of the reasons why she wanted to meet Kitano now.

Of course, the most important thing is that Kitano is the person that the head of the Mejiro family likes. At the same time, he did not lie about Rudolph's body, otherwise Kitano would not have a good ending.

"No, no, no—this matter is really just a misunderstanding."

When Kitano saw that the Speed ​​Symbol had indeed mentioned the matter between him and Rudolph, his heart jumped into his throat and he quickly explained, "Rudolph and I were never actually in a relationship, and I actually rejected it that day."

"Oh? Rejected? You actually rejected the courtship of our proudest horse girl?"

The symbol of speed was also curious when he heard this. Although Ji Zhao on the side had no expression, there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes. She also didn't understand why Kitano would reject Rudolph.

Although Ji Zhao had just returned to Japan, as a horse girl who had returned from studying abroad, she also knew Rudolf's name. In her heart, the title of "Emperor" was extremely loud. She couldn't imagine who Rudolf would like, nor could she imagine that Rudolf would be rejected.

And now, the answer to all this lies in the man in front of him. Ji Zhao also wants to know why this man actually rejected the courtship of the emperor.

"Isn't the reason obvious... because of the difference in status?"

Kitano stared at the Speed ​​Symbol before him, feeling that the Patriarch seemed different from when he first met him in the first round. But now, he still answered honestly, "I'm just a small trainer. How can I be worthy of being the next heir to the Symbol Family? The gap between us is simply too great..."

"Even if I don't refuse, Master Patriarch, you will find various reasons to refuse later, right? I don't want this kind of thing to cause more trouble in the future..."

"Hmm? How do you know I will refuse?"

However, the symbol of speed suddenly asked Kitano a question after hearing this, and the firm tone she heard from Kitano's words made her a little confused - this boy seemed to know her very well?

"Isn't that certain..." Kitano smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and then replied, "The Symbol family is one of the largest horse racing families in Japan, but the Symbol family doesn't have as many outstanding descendants as the Mejiro family. As for Rudolph, you have high hopes for her, don't you?"

"So you think that because I want to find the best husband for my granddaughter, I won't have the confidence to be worthy of her, right?"

The speed symbol also said the second half of the sentence, and received Kitano's silent approval. In response, the speed symbol also nodded slightly, indicating that Kitano was right.

The Symbol of Speed ​​would certainly not let any Tom, Dick or Harry get close to her most precious granddaughter. Although she did not think that Rudolph had bad taste and that ordinary men would not even be able to get close to her - but if Rudolph was really blind and fell for some inferior man, then no matter what the reason, the Symbol of Speed ​​would certainly stop him.

But the premise of all this...does it have anything to do with this kid?

The symbol of speed narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Kitano in front of him - this kid had regular features and good looks, and he was the youngest trainer to enter the Tresen Academy at the age of 21, which was enough to show that he was quite talented.

Most importantly, he was about the same age as Rudolph, even a little younger than her granddaughter. Younger men knew how to be caring. The Speed ​​Symbol was a bit oddly stubborn about this, probably because her late husband had also been a bit younger than she was.

Overall, the Speed ​​Symbol felt that Kitano's conditions were quite good. Just for such a person, if she knew that Rudolph liked Kitano, she would consider it and see how the performance of the horse girls coached by this boy was. If they met the requirements, she would probably agree reluctantly.

Not to mention, he's now a trainer that even his old rival, Mejiro Asama, has his eye on! There's no need to even test him; he's definitely a fresh blood pressure to be snatched away!

Even so, he's still worried he's not good enough for Rudolph? Isn't this guy a little too modest? He's so modest that he almost feels inferior. I really don't understand how talent and inferiority can coexist in the same person.

The symbol of speed thought so, but faced with such a good seedling, she would not give up just like that.

Kitano Ryuichi was determined to snatch her away, and she intended to seal the deal between Kitano and Rudolph right this time! With this realization in mind, the Speed ​​Symbol pondered for a moment and immediately asked, "So, boy, let me ask you, the reason you rejected Rudolph was because you felt you weren't worthy of her... not because you didn't like her, right?"

"If the Patriarch thinks so, there is no problem."

After thinking it over, Kitano finally admitted it. But soon, Kitano saw the symbol of speed smile for the first time, which surprised him.

The next moment, the symbol of speed spoke up, "Well, Kitano, I congratulate you. You don't need to worry about this matter anymore."

"I have already agreed to your relationship with Rudolph. I recognize that you are the most suitable person to be the child's husband. You are worthy of being the best racehorse in our family."

"If you don't mind, I'll let you and Rudolph meet again tomorrow. You can talk it out in front of me and then sign the engagement. After you've led all the horse racing girls, you can go to the Yuzhi family and get married..."

"what?"

However, the sudden 180-degree change in attitude of the Speed ​​Symbol stunned Kitano. He thought of many possibilities in his mind that the Speed ​​Symbol would cater to his ideas, but he never thought that the Speed ​​Symbol would actually do this.

Didn't he just mishear that? The symbolic head of the family actually supported his relationship with Rudolf? This...

"What? You don't believe me?" Seeing Kitano's bewildered look, the Speed ​​Symbol found it amusing and said, "What I say is as good as gold. I will never go back on my word."

"You like Rudolph, and he likes you too. You're a very good kid, and your family background is clean. Why should I worry about a good young man like you?"

"When that child becomes the head of the family in the future, you will assist her well. With someone like you by her side, I believe even her easily outrageous temper will be curbed a little, right?"

"So, there's nothing to worry about. I agree. You—"

"Oh? You agreed? When did I agree? A symbol of speed?"

However, at this moment, an equally old voice suddenly interrupted their conversation. However, both Kitano and the Symbol of Speed ​​were very familiar with this voice, but it was a little more hostile than Kitano had imagined.

On the other side, the head of the Mejiro family, dressed in a pristine white dress, slowly approached with a cane. A kind smile adorned her face, her eyes fixed on the Speed ​​Symbol as she spoke word for word, "When did it become your turn to steal our Mejiro family's reserved trainer, Speed ​​Symbol?"

Chapter 280: Symbolizes the feud between the Patriarch and the Patriarch Mejiro?

"Excuse me, if I remember correctly, the person next to you seems to be the trainer that our Mejiro family discovered earlier. Now, he is also the trainer of our two horse girls in the Mejiro family."

"So, could you please, the symbolic head of the family who came from who knows where, return to your symbolic home now and stay away from the trainers of our Mejiro children?"

There was a subtle smile on the face of the head of the Mejiro family. Neither Kitano nor the symbol of speed had expected that the head of the Mejiro family would appear here. Even the Yoshiko and Aldan in the team did not know about it. It can be imagined how secretive the arrival of the head of the Mejiro family was this time.

But Kitano was surprised that the head of the Mejiro family would appear here, but the symbol of speed was easy to understand - after all, Kitano was the one that the head of the Mejiro family specifically wanted to capture. For this reason, she even placed the heir Aldan next to Kitano, and on the other hand, it was also to smoothly allow bodyguards to be interspersed around Kitano.

In many invisible places, during this period, the bodyguards of the Mejiro family and the Yuzhi family were constantly engaged in a Mission Impossible-like game against each other in the Tresen Academy.

The result was that Kitano's every move was known not only to Rudolph and Aldan, but also to the two family heads, the Speed ​​Symbol and Mejiro Asama - of course, they were all well aware that Rudolph had been dumped.

Or rather, the affair between Rudolf and Kitano is now known not only to everyone in Kitano's team, but also to the people of the two major families... Only Rudolf and Kitano thought they had hidden it well. I wonder if Rudolf would feel ashamed to face others if he knew about this.

Regardless, the Speed ​​Symbol wasn't surprised to see the Mejiro clan leader there. Furthermore, when enemies meet, their eyes are often filled with jealousy. The tension between them was heightened by the immediate conflict.

"I was wondering who it was. It's Asama." The Speed ​​Symbol greeted the Mejiro Clan leader with a serious expression, "It's been so many years. What's wrong? Are you still so angry?"

"I'm different from you. I won't teach our Mejiro children the same way you do." Mejiro Asama narrowed his eyes slightly and replied, "Everything in our Mejiro family is based on harmony. We don't need to be like you, scaring people with a stern face every day."

"Oh? Then I wouldn't sell my own daughters to bind trainers." The Speed ​​Symbol's tone became even more cunning, and he directly began to expose the scars of the head of the Mejiro family: "You have many daughters in the Mejiro family, I'm afraid you also use them to bind trainers?"

"That's better than scaring someone who's not even close to his own granddaughter." Upon hearing this, a cold look appeared on Mubai Qianjian's face. He said with a forced smile, "Which of the two most promising sisters in the Symbol family is close to you? I'm afraid they both wish you dead."

As soon as the Mejiro family head finished speaking, the eyes of the two heads of Japan's largest horse racing families were filled with hostility. Although the two families they represented were still wearing the same pants, the increasing cooperation and conflicts between the families had caused the two heads of the family to have long-standing resentment against each other.

Especially in the area of ​​trainers, the two family heads had already had many conflicts over this issue. When they saw each other, the atmosphere was extremely tense. The mutual gazes made Kitano and Yoshizhao on the side feel extremely pressured.

"People back home always say... if you get that close, you're either going to fight or kiss... Now it seems like the latter option can be ruled out."

Even Kitano, who had played so many games, had never encountered such a situation before. Fortunately, Ji Zhao did not hesitate to explain, "The family head... and the Mejiro family head, did not have a good relationship in the past."

"They were once horse girls working for the same trainer. Later, they had many conflicts over who would be the trainer's legal wife."

"Who is this ruthless senior?!"

Daring to provoke these two heavyweights at the same time, with two future family heads emerging from the same team? Which senior besides him had accomplished such a great feat? Kitano pondered this in his mind, and then asked curiously, "So what happened next? Who won?"

"No one won. The trainer chose the third horse girl."

Ji Zhao recounted the rather cruel story of that year in a calm tone, and replied calmly, "I heard that the trainer was scared away, but the head of the family and the head of the Mejiro family both thought it was the other's fault that scared their trainer away."

"For this reason, although they each found true love later, they still kept fighting with each other because of past events. Although they are working together now, their relationship is actually not good."

Well, so this is a remnant of a long-standing historical grudge from the last century? This is the first time Kitano has heard of such a past between these two family heads, and it seems that this matter has had a significant impact on them.

Wait, does this scene feel familiar? Kitano thought of the time these two family heads had a falling out over the same trainer, and their current confrontation felt strangely familiar... like an argument between Aldan and Rudolph. While such a thing shouldn't happen, the similarities were that they were both the next heirs to the position of family head, and both, in some way, had a delicate relationship with him.

As Kitano thought of this, he heard Ji Zhao's words again. Ji Zhao opened his mouth, but seemed unwilling to let Kitano be kept in the dark. He said softly, "Trainer Kitano... I think you should think carefully about how to answer the two family heads next."

"Ok?"

"From what I know, both family heads are very eager for you to join their respective families, and to this end, they are both willing to use their most outstanding heirs as a bargaining chip for your joining the family."

Ji Zhao's tone was calm, but also seemed to be a little helpless. He continued to speak to Kitano, "I actually wanted to tell the head of the family a long time ago... Their actions are actually like inflicting their regrets on their descendants."

"Because I didn't get that happiness myself, I really hope that my most cherished granddaughter can get it... Although it's a bit harsh to say this, I think they are both quite persistent in their own thoughts."

"More importantly, both Rudolf and Aldan like you very much. This, combined with the regrets of the two family heads in the past, makes it easy for them to empathize with you."

"So, I think you should think about what is the correct explanation. If you choose to escape like that trainer did, or choose a third person, the two family heads will definitely not agree."

The auspicious reminder was more like a friendly reminder of Kitano's future, to prevent him from imitating the senior trainer's behavior, which would only anger the two family heads who had unknowingly forced their own thoughts and wishes on their descendants.

That would not be a good thing for Kitano, so Ji Zhao hoped that Kitano could make a good decision here and decide what he should choose.

Ji Zhao's reminder also made Kitano realize his current situation. However, facing the two family heads who were still arguing with each other, Kitano's eyes could not help but be dazed for a moment...

At this moment, the figures of Rudolf and Aldan seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and they were also arguing about their own problems.

Rudolph and Aldan are the very few horse girls that Kitano has led in so many games who have expressed their affection to him and let Kitano know that they like his horse girls. As for the feelings Kitano has for the two of them, he can only say that he loves each one no less than the other.

You asked him to choose between two women... To be honest, Kitano couldn't choose. He was better at being chosen than making choices.

If there was an option that allowed him to "have it all", then Kitano would definitely choose it without hesitation - but given the current situation and the relationship between the two family heads, this idea was obviously impossible.

So...a choice? Between Rudolf and Aldan...a choice?

No, or perhaps, there wasn't just one at all? Kitano was lost in thought, and it seemed as if many familiar Uma Musume figures appeared before his eyes... Bourbon, Mi Yu, the Holy King... Many familiar figures appeared before his eyes.

However, the more the number of people increased, the more Kitano felt that he was sweating slowly, and before he knew it, even his heart felt like it was beating faster.

"Okay, I'm not here to argue with you, Mejiro Asama."

Meanwhile, the Speed ​​Symbol no longer wanted to argue. She turned her gaze towards Kitano and said word by word, "I came here for this boy. He meets our Symbol family's mate selection criteria. What's more, my granddaughter likes him very much."

"We've decided on this person as our symbol of the family. I say, no one is allowed to compete with us for this."

"Oh? So you're saying that my Aldan is inferior to your Rudolph?" Mejiro Asama, a bit irritated, said to the Speed ​​Symbol, "My Aldan has been with Trainer Kitano's team longer than you have. She and Trainer Kitano are a match made in heaven."

"I'm afraid this 'Emperor' who cut in line mid-sentence and has already been rejected once before, is completely out of the running now, right?"

Mejiro Asama said this, then focused his gaze on Kitano and immediately said, "Trainer Kitano, you like Aldan too, don't you? I'll make the decision on this matter. After you and Aldan get married, everything about the child will be handed over to you."

"Humph, Kitano boy, if you marry that Rudolph kid, half of the Symbolist family will say you're the one. Only you can control that kid, so you have to come to us."

The Speed ​​Symbol was not to be outdone. For a moment, the two family heads on the scene were eager to find Kitano and "force him to marry." However, they didn't know that their voices had actually awakened Kitano from his trance.

Slowly, Kitano's vision cleared up. Facing the conditions offered by the two patriarchs, a wry smile emerged on his face, one that didn't resemble joy. After a long pause, he softly said, "My two patriarchs... I'm flattered by your kindness. But, if that's your intention... I'm sorry, I won't accept it."

"I like Aldan and I also like Rudolf... I must admit that I like each of them—but I like them not because of the families and forces behind them."

"I just like the horse girls named Rudo Yuto and Mejiro Altan... I don't like the next head of the Yuto family or the next head of the Mejiro family... I didn't consider these when I liked them."
