The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

But on second thought, forget it. If Alice could really make this kind of medicine, she would definitely use herself as the first experimental subject instead of promoting it first.

But at this moment, Good Opera played her role. She took out her mobile phone to search for local conditions, and then found this hot spring shop that seemed to have quite good reviews.

"How about we go to the hot springs together? This will relieve everyone's fatigue and perhaps eliminate the hidden dangers on the feet of our knights flying on the grass."

"That's a good idea."

Kitano nodded when he heard this. When Cao Shangfei finished the inspection, it was already getting late. It would be nice if they could take a nap in the local hot springs so that everyone could have a good rest.

And as the good opera said, Cao Shangfei may really need a hot spring treatment now. This may really help her who just finished the game.

Therefore, Kitano immediately decided to take the three girls to the local hot spring shop. At this moment, they had followed the location and after going uphill, they finally saw the hot spring shop built halfway up the mountain.

"Finally I saw it, right here."

"Hahaha, after so many obstacles, we've finally arrived at the palace for rest?" Good Opera was unexpectedly in high spirits. It wasn't known whether it was because she hadn't soaked in a hot spring in a long time, or because this was her first time with everyone else, but she kept chattering to Kitano the whole way: "Next, we're finally going to have a break, and my princess' skin can be protected—oh, princess, please be careful. If you feel tired, you can always borrow Overlord's back."

"I'm not very tired, thank you, Good Opera." Seeing that Good Opera so generously offered its back and wanted to carry Kitano, Kitano, who was indeed a little tired at the moment, gave up for the sake of his male dignity.

He carried Cao Shangfei all the way to the hospital. The journey was really tiring for a man with an ordinary physique. Now he was also looking forward to the hot spring.

"We'll be able to take a hot spring bath soon, what do you think, Xing-chan?" Cao Shangfei, who was walking slowly behind the group, was also in a good mood. However, she did not forget Qingyun Tiankong, who was a little resistant to this proposal at the beginning.

"Ahaha..." Qingyun Tiankong was a little nervous for some reason. He touched his head, his cheeks slightly red as he said awkwardly, "After all, this is my first time to take a hot spring bath with everyone... After all, it's weird for men and women to take a hot spring bath together... And Trainer-san and I have only known each other for less than two months... or something like that."

"It would be embarrassing if people misunderstood me, right?"

"There's only one trainer-san, and we have three horse girls. Things like what you're talking about won't happen."

Cao Shangfei was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then he smiled helplessly and said, "The hot springs must be separate. Xing-chan, what are you worried about?"

"Right, that's the kind... And these hot springs usually have a wooden board in the middle, right? You can hear each other's voices..."

Qingyun Tiankong was so nervous that he was a little incoherent. For some reason, the thought of appearing in front of Kitano in a yukata made Qingyun Tiankong back down. He said several times that he wanted to leave, but each time he refused to leave and continued to follow everyone.

In fact, Cao Shangfei, who was very aware of Qingyun Tiankong's desire to get close to Kitano, was also helpless against Qingyun Tiankong's timid character, so he could only say softly: "It's okay, Xing-chan, Trainer-san is a very good person, he won't do anything to us."

"Besides...if Xing-chan wants to get closer to Trainer-san, this might be a good opportunity."

"Okay, good opportunity or something—"

As for Cao Shangfei's words, Qing Yun Tiankong didn't know what plot he had thought of that the review would not approve. His cheeks suddenly turned red, as if he had already imagined the 10,000-word "Horse Jump" plot in his mind.

"Here we are."

Finally, the group arrived inside the hot spring. Kitano took the lead in opening the wooden sliding door of the hot spring shop. Soon, when they arrived, an old woman in a kimono came towards them.

"Welcome, oh, what a rare combination. This gentleman and three horse girls, would you like to take a hot spring bath?"

"Yes, please give us two rooms." Kitano also took out his wallet. Looking at the few banknotes in his wallet, he felt a little painful... He now understood why Okino T in the anime was so poor. The more horse girls he brought, the more expenses he would have!

However, the expenses of the hot springs should still be enough. Kitano also took out the last few banknotes and said, "Please take my three horse girls to the women's bath. Which way is the men's bath?"

"There are no male and female baths."

However, the old woman's words made Kitano pause in his action of taking out the money, and in an instant, the three horse racing girls behind him shuddered all over, and all of a sudden, everyone's eyes turned to the good opera that recommended them to come here.

"Hahaha, beautiful lady, what did you mean by that?" Good Opera, the "culprit," approached with a wry smile, but the old woman replied gently, "How sweet of you, pretty Mamu-san. Ours is a family-friendly hot spring resort, so each bath is a small, independent structure."

"But don't worry, our hot spring water flows down from the mountains. It's pure natural water, so there's no need to worry about the environment."

"I'm not bragging, but every guest who has tried our hot springs says they're great."

I see… there really is such a design. Kitano suddenly realized that there are indeed similar hot spring shops in Hokkaido, but these family-oriented hot springs charge per room, not per person.

All in all, the price of a single room is much better value for money than the price per person... But the problem is, is Kitano going to sleep in the same room and use the same bathroom with the three horse girls?

It doesn't matter though, after all, there are several Uma Musume staying in the team room at the same time, but the problem is that he is also here?

"Madam, you charge per room here, right?"

"Yes, sir, the money I saw you holding is just enough."

Seeing Kitano's hesitation, the old woman knew he was out of money. But to keep the customers coming back, she smiled gently and said, "But you can bathe separately from the three horse girls. Our private room is spacious enough for four people."

"Everyone?" Kitano was helpless when he heard this. He turned to look at his three supervisors, hoping that they could provide some help.

"Well... I only have 500 yen for the tram ride." Good Opera also lost his previous momentum and said that he didn't bring any money this time.

"Four, four people sleeping together, using the same hot spring and so on... that's too much..." Qingyun Tiankong's face was full of blush and forced embarrassment, and it was obvious that he didn't have that opinion.

When Kitano cast his gaze towards the last one, Kusagami Fei, Kusagami Fei also saw Kitano's embarrassment, but she smiled gently and said with great understanding: "It's okay, Trainer-san, it's okay to change to another store."

"..." However, when Kitano's gaze subconsciously fell on Kusagami Hibi's injured leg, he had already made a decision - since he did not bring the young lady's racehorse with him this time, he had to let Kusagami Hibi take a hot spring bath no matter what.

As for himself... he had some thoughts, but the three horse girls were all here, so it was useless to have any thoughts. At worst, he wouldn't need the tatami this time and could just sleep on the floor.

"Thank you for the trouble. Please give us a room."

"Thank you for your patronage..." The old woman also accepted Kitano's last few banknotes and looked at this wonderful combination of four people. She vaguely felt that these three young horse girls seemed to have some strange ideas about this handsome young man.

Now the old woman could only hope that they would not mess up their room like those other horse girls who came with their people. Although the sound insulation of this place was very good, if there were three of them together... the old woman was not so confident in the soundproof walls of her own house.

Chapter 299: One person wants to fight with a team of horse girls

Kitano checked into this hot spring hotel with Good Opera, Qingyun Tiankong and Kusanagi Fei. At this moment, the three horse girls had already entered the hot spring and started bathing, while Kitano stayed in the room temporarily to lay out the tatami and bedding for the three horse girls.

"It's great to have so many tatami mats and mattresses here. It seems that this shop is really popular. I don't need to sleep on the floor."

"Oh right, I think I should tell the others so they don't worry too much."

Kitano finally had time to remember to tell everyone in the team - especially Aldan - that they would not be returning to Tresen Academy that day.

Kitano was worried that if Aldan saw they hadn't returned so late, he would wait for them in the team room all night. She was actually capable of such a thing, but Aldan's body often gave way before her unwavering willpower.

Thinking of this, Kitano also took out his phone. He specially added all the team members to a group chat, and if anything happened, they would all be notified through the group chat.

"Today's competition is over. Xiaocao's debut competition was a great success. To celebrate, we went to a local hot spring shop to relax and take a break. We will return to school on time tomorrow. You should get some rest tonight."

Kitano's message had just been sent out, and soon, many messages were replied immediately, causing Kitano's phone to ring non-stop for a while.

Sakura Shinou: "Wow! We're actually going to a hot springs together! I'm so envious! But as the grade committee chairperson, I must strictly prohibit trainers and students from having overly close contact! (seseda me.jpg)"

Mi Yu: "Did Brother-sama and everyone go to the hot spring? Ugh...why didn't you tell Mi Yu? Mi Yu could have come too..."

Miura Bourbon: "Master, Good Opera, Qingyun Tiankong, and Kusagami Fei are at the hot springs? Please bring Miura Bourbon with you later. The machine needs to be cleaned and rested. The hot springs will help Miura Bourbon repair its body."

Mejiro Zenshin: "Ah... in the hot springs, that's great. I want to go there too. Next time, let's take Aldan-san with us, Trainer-kun."

Holy King Halo: "Ah, no wonder you haven't come back for so long. Got it, come back soon."

Soon, several members of the team quickly responded to Kitano's message. However, they did not receive a reply from the Emperor of the East China Sea. Kitano was not surprised by this result, but still felt a little disappointed.

It seems... the incident between him and Rudolph was a huge blow to the Emperor of the East Sea, so much so that she still hasn't forgiven herself and is still avoiding him...

Kitano could understand the embarrassment and difficulty in accepting the East China Sea Emperor's attitude towards this matter. After all, to the emperor, Rudolf was not only the person she respected the most, but also like one of her parents.

And now, Rudolph, whom she regarded as a second parent, had such a delicate relationship with Kitano. It must have felt like watching her parents remarry, right? It must have been awkward, and she didn't know how to get along.

Especially since Kitano was the trainer of the Emperor of the East China Sea and had a pretty good relationship with him - Kitano even wondered if the Emperor would think that he was so nice to her just to feel like she was his father (mother).

But there was no way around it. Rudolph had already said so, and the situation was already laid out before him. Kitano had no intention of rejecting Rudolph. And facing the East China Sea Emperor's current emotions, Kitano had been constantly trying to soothe the Emperor's emotions.

Thinking this, Kitano also opened Emperor's email and sent her a message: "We went to the hot springs today, Emperor. Kusanagi Tobi won beautifully, even defeating Condor this time. But I believe that your achievements will definitely be even greater than Kusanagi Tobi's. You have the potential to become a true Hall of Fame-level horse girl."

"Ah, if there's a chance, I'll take you with me next time. I don't know if you like hot springs. It would be just the two of us, so we can relax together."

The message was sent out, and soon, Kitano saw the "read" displayed on the message. However, just like in the past, there was no reply from the Emperor of the East China Sea.

And in that private message, there have been many emails sent from Kitano to Emperor in the past month. Each of them was this month, when the relationship between Kitano and Emperor became delicate, and Kitano, as a trainer, cared about Emperor's well-being.

Regardless of whether the emperor paid attention to him or not, or how the training performance was that day, Kitano would always send an email to the East China Sea emperor before going to bed, telling him about his attitude towards the emperor that day, the arrangements for the next training, and his concern for her, day after day.

Although the Emperor did not reply, he would read Kitano's emails first thing every day. From this point of view, the relationship between the Emperor and Kitano is not that stiff now.

The emperor just didn't know how to deal with the current relationship, and he didn't hate Kitano... Kitano was sure of this.

That's all for now. Kitano then turned to look at the email from Mejiro Altan. This Mejiro girl, who had confessed her love to him, held a very important place in Kitano's heart. Therefore, it was best not to hide the news of Kitano and the others going to the hot springs from Altan.

Anyway, Aldan wouldn't think too much about it. Thinking this way, Kitano also sent a message to Aldan, writing: "We went to the hot springs together today, Aldan, take a good rest today, no need to wait for us to come back."

"Oh, that's how it is. I was wondering why everyone didn't come back so late."

Ardan's message was sent quickly, and just as Kitano expected, although Ardan was a little surprised, she didn't think too much about it. She just sent an email with her unique gentle tone, saying, "It's okay, I'm back in the dormitory now. Since you and everyone else are in the hot spring, I can sleep peacefully."

"Ah, but, the trainer and the three horse girls together, you must not have any bad intentions - otherwise..."

Ardan's words revealed how much she cared about Kitano. The hint of jealousy he showed made Kitano's heart skip a beat. He raised his lips slightly and asked, "What's wrong? What's going on? Why don't I understand what you're saying, Ardan? Can you explain it in more detail?"

Ardan: "...bad guy///"

The message sent by Aldan was just one sentence, but that short sentence almost broke Kitano's heart. Aldan knew too well how to tease Kitano.

After being shot in the heart, Kitano stopped playing dumb and immediately replied, "Don't worry, nothing will happen here. We will be back tomorrow morning. So get some rest. Compared to the situation here, I hope to see a healthy Aldan when I return tomorrow."

Ardan: "...As long as the trainer is by my side, I will never fall ill, because I am thinking of the trainer at all times."

"Well, goodnight, Trainer, see you tomorrow."

At this moment, Aldan, who was lying on the bed and replying to Kitano's message, was also wearing pajamas, with a slightly red cheek and a smile, and sent the last words.

After sending this sentence, Aldan put down his phone with a sense of relief, and buried his face in the pillow. Soon, he could no longer hide his shyness, and his legs kept raising and lowering on the bed. The quilt under him was held tightly by him, twisted into a ball.

For a young lady like Aldan, who was raised in seclusion, saying sweet nothings was a bit embarrassing. If the person she was talking to wasn't Kitano, Aldan would never have said such words.

But now, Aldan's whole heart is on Kitano. With the help and support of her grandmother, Aldan has gradually accepted the fact that she and Rudolf will share the same husband in the future.

And... this may be the best way. After all, although the Mejiro family and the Symbol family have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, on the surface everyone is still in the same boat and is working together to protect the collective dignity of today's Japanese horse girls, so most people still cooperate.

If Kitano could bring the Mejiro family and the Yuto family together again, then Kitano might have accomplished something great. Although this method of cooperation is very strange... maybe it's because the husbands of the two heads of the family are the same person...

However, it seems that Rudolf doesn't know about this matter, and I don't know whether the head of the symbolic family has mentioned this matter to her?

Aldan was now temporarily free of his shyness and began to think about the future. Although Aldan had gotten over the fact that he and Rudolph had shared Kitano, there was still one thing that was giving Aldan a headache.

Yes... Ardan had already promised that no matter whether she could survive the most dangerous period or not, she would share Kitano's affairs with Shanxin...

During the time when Ardan's mental block was the most serious, it was the comfort of the believers that helped her out of the predicament. For Ardan, as her sister, such a promise should be taken for granted.

After all... the younger brother inherits the property, so it's the same for sisters. Although it's a bit strange that the husband is the one who inherits, if she's a believer... Aldan can still accept this outcome.

But the question is whether the believers can accept that they will share a husband with the future patriarch of the family, who is now a student of Tresen College... and whether Rudolf will accept this.

After all, no matter what, Shanxin is weaker than Rudolf in terms of family status. If he dies in the future, can Shanxin maintain his position in the face of Rudolf's tyranny?

Aldan felt that she would have to confront Rudolph sooner or later, and even if she was not lucky enough in the future and could not enjoy family happiness with Kitano, she would make sure that her sister would not be bullied.

However, little did Aldan know that on the other side, Rudolf was also having a headache because of a similar problem...

The heads of the two families thought that this was a man divided equally between two people, while the two heirs thought that it would be divided equally into three in the future. Little did they know that Kitano was now vaguely showing signs of being divided into four...

As for whether it will be more fragmented in the future... well, let's leave it all to God.

Chapter 300: The Holy King Hammers the Whole Audience in a Long Distance

"Ah—relaxed, this hot spring is really comfortable."

While Kitano was still talking with a few people at Tresen Academy, the three horse girls had already finished their hot spring bath and walked out of it relaxed.

The first person to come out was Qingyun Tiankong, who was wearing a yukata and had looked embarrassed and reluctant when she first came in. As she walked out of the hot spring, she met Kitano's gaze, who had just put down his phone, and said with a rosy blush, "Hehe, Trainer-san, congratulations on passing the test—"

"Test?" Kitano asked curiously.

"Just now, Xiaocao, Good Opera, and I made a bet in the hot springs, betting on whether Trainer-san would secretly peek at us—"

Qingyun Tiankong had a subtle smile on his rosy face. He placed his hands on the back of his head and said in a lazy and nonchalant manner, "But I never saw you quietly open the door from beginning to end. Hehe, it seems that Trainer-san is very trustworthy. Xing-chan, I like you very much——"

"Just kidding—"

After Qingyun Tiankong said "I like it", he quickly changed the subject jokingly. Seeing Qingyun Tiankong's deliberate teasing, Kitano also had the urge to fight back.

At this time, if I say something like "I like Xingjiang too", Xingjiang, who is always the love loser in this second creation, will definitely be broken, right?

However, Kitano only thought about this idea for a moment. He no longer dared to have an overly close relationship with other horse girls in the team.

He also had to find a way to deal with the future problems between Aldan and Rudolph... Before this, Kitano had never thought that he would be so lucky as to be liked by two horse girls, and that they would confess their love to him on the same day.

This kind of thing was something Kitano had never thought of before, but now that he had encountered it, Kitano really had no way to choose between the two of them. Although he was hesitant, he had never thought of giving up either side.

Putting aside the fact that he couldn't abandon either Rudolph or Aldan, both women had already made it clear that they couldn't be separated from Kitano. Since both parties were united in their desire, it seemed the only option left was to "take it all."

However, Kitano had never thought about this before, so he was still thinking about how to make Rudolf and Aldan accept this matter...

But before that, Kitano knew very well that the prerequisite for Aldan and Rudolph to accept him was that he would not accept anyone else... Therefore, he had to calm himself down now.
