The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

She thought that her brother preferred softer girls... She didn't expect that he was the type who would eat both sides... No, it seems that her brother likes all pretty girls.

But Mi Yu can’t be as proactive as her good opera classmate... What should I do... If this goes on, my brother will be snatched away.

Mi Yu kept struggling with this question in her mind, while Miura Bourbon beside her was expressionless as always. Although she was also wary of good operas in her heart, for now, Miura Bourbon's heart was filled with more joy.

She finally got the position of "number one" as she wished and became the person closest to the master. From now on, no matter which horse girl joins the team, her position will be absolutely unshakable!

Bourbon wanted to cheer very much at this moment. If there weren't so many people around her, her own personality would probably be unable to hold back and she would have to celebrate loudly.

But now, her expression was still calm, and her voice was still indifferent. She just turned around and said to Kitano, "Master, the game is over, but Shengwang and Shanxin are missing. Should we go look for them?"

"Hmm... leave this matter to me. Bourbon, Mi Yu, you two should go and rest first. I'll take care of the Holy King and the believers."

Kitano nodded solemnly upon hearing this. It was time for him to solve the problem of these two horse girls. The final was over and the result was within Kitano's expectations.

As for how to convince the two horse girls who are determined to win but are now defeated to join the team, Kitano already has his own plan.

Chapter 117: The first meeting with the head of the Mejiro family

Mejiro Zenshin left the training ground. She was not like Saint King Halo, who left angrily because she could not stand what happened between Good Opera and Kitano. However, it must be admitted that the scene was still replaying in Zenshin's mind, and it was also her lingering worry.

Good opera senior... is he also going to join Kitano's team? Is she also thinking this way? She even seems very determined... She spoke her thoughts loudly to so many people...

Trainer Kitano... is truly an excellent trainer. Not only has he attracted so many outstanding horse girls, but he has also attracted the Emperor of the East China Sea, and even a good opera classmate...

Of course, the believers knew about Hao Opera's reputation. In Tresen College, Hao Opera's popularity and her strength were recognized by everyone. The nickname "Overlord" was not her self-proclaimed name, but a name given to her by everyone in Tresen College who recognized Hao Opera's strength.

Good Opera is one of the horse girls who truly stands at the top of the Tresen Academy, second only to the "Emperor" Rudo in terms of performance. Although she is not a member of the student union, her prestige in Tresen Academy is no less than that of others. It is no exaggeration to say that she is so popular that she can command the support of hundreds of people.

And such a successful and famous horse racing girl was fascinated by Kitano and was even willing to express her feelings for Kitano in such a grand way... It must be said that the scene deeply stimulated Mejiro Zenshin, and also made Zenshin fall into a period of thought.

This is also a question that Shanxin himself had thought about a long time ago, which is - is he really qualified to be the horse girl of such an excellent trainer?

This time, the believer was even more lost in thought than she had ever been before. At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Shanxin? Are you in there?"

"Trainer Kitano? I..." When Shanxin heard Kitano's voice, his tail swung twice subconsciously, and then he replied softly, "Please come in."

As Kitano pushed the door open and walked in, he finally saw Shanxin again. However, Shanxin's silence made Kitano feel that something was wrong. After closing the door, Kitano walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong, Shanxin? Why don't you smile at all? Are you not satisfied with the result of today's game?"

"No... not really."

When Shanxin saw Kitano approaching, he subconsciously took a step back and replied in a low voice, which was rare for him, "I just feel... a little uncomfortable."

"Feeling uncomfortable? Is it emotional or physical?" Kitano had a general idea after hearing this, but he still pretended that he couldn't hear it and took another step forward.

He now wanted to guide the believers to express their inner distress. Some things, when spoken by Kitano, were different from those spoken by the believers. A person's inner feelings could only be released through their own words. No matter how much others understood, they had to be released by the person themselves.

However, Kitano's approach made Shanxin subconsciously take another step back. Shanxin's tone began to become a little panicked and he said, "Trainer Kitano... could you please keep a little distance from me?"

"Why? If you're not feeling well, I can..."

"I, I smell like sweat and I haven't showered. I'm afraid..."

This was a poor excuse; trainers knew that horse girls didn't have a perspiration odor due to their physical constitution. But the believer's excuse actually had some real appeal, a touch of "girlish" quality that she usually lacked.

It was unclear whether this was a hidden side of Shanxin Xin or if she was simply making up a lame excuse. But Shanxin Xin's words didn't stop Kitano from approaching her. Now, in the small backstage lounge, Shanxin Xin was practically unavoidable.

But the next moment, what the depressed believer was waiting for was not Kitano's words... but a touch from the top of her head, the feeling of her hair being rubbed.

Shanxin subconsciously raised her head slightly, only to see Kitano, who was now rubbing her head with a smile on his face. Like an elder coaxing a sulky child, he asked with an unconscious chuckle, "What's wrong, Shanxin? You impressed us all in this match. As the winner of this match, why are you still so unhappy?"

"I'm not the winner, Trainer Kitano."

Perhaps it was Kitano's head-patting move that was particularly effective against a horse girl like Shanxin, who rarely treated herself like a girl, or Kitano's non-offensive questioning, like that of an elder, that caused Shanxin's defenses to crumble. With a wry smile, he replied, "I didn't win this match... I'm sorry. Trainer Kitano gave me some special training, taught me the most likely strategy to turn defeat into victory... and I still didn't win."

"Shanxin." Kitano, seeing how downcast he looked, even his ears drooping listlessly, found it a bit amusing and replied, "Shanxin, I don't mean to discourage you. Didn't we say this before? With your current strength, even the most unexpected tactics won't be able to make up for the real difference in strength. You don't really think that with just one week of special training, I can turn you into a horse girl stronger than the Emperor of the East China Sea, do you?"

"I'm sorry, Shanxin. I don't think I'm that capable. All I can do is try my best. And in this match, there's no doubt that you've achieved your best performance ever based on the tactics I gave you."

"You could say you guided the entire match, Shanxin. You controlled the entire rhythm of this match. East Sea Emperor, Cao Shangfei, Qingyun Tiankong, and even Mi Yu were all affected by your rhythm. Even Bourbon couldn't do that."

"But I still couldn't beat the Emperor..." Shanxin was still a little disappointed after hearing this, and couldn't help but say: "I disrupted the Emperor's rhythm, but still couldn't surpass the Emperor... She suffered a loss this time, so she will only be more vigilant next time, right? Do I still have a chance to win next time?"

However, when Shanxin was talking to herself, she did not get a response from Kitano. But when she raised her head hesitantly, she found that Kitano had a subtle smile on his face and was looking at her with a very subtle expression.

"What, what's wrong?" Shanxin couldn't help but ask nervously, "Am I wrong, Trainer Kitano?"

"Sinxin, you know what? If the other horse girls heard what you just said, they might be indignant and think you are being too Versailles."

Kitano replied to Shanxin's words with a smile. Facing Shanxin's puzzled look, Kitano explained, "The standard of your current opponent is already that of a horse girl on the level of the Emperor of the East China Sea."

"You know, a week ago, you couldn't even see the emperor's back, but now you've subconsciously considered yourself a horse girl second only to the Emperor of the East China Sea."

"Haven't you noticed, Shanxin? This past week, your strength was at most the level of a horse racing girl who would be eliminated in the second round, and yet a week later, you've become second only to the Emperor of the East China Sea. Don't you think your growth rate is astonishingly fast?"

"I……"

However, Kitano's surprising approach left Shanxin subconsciously stunned. At that moment, an elderly yet familiar voice slowly rang out from outside the door, saying, "Trainer Kitano is right, Shanxin. Your growth this past week has surpassed all of our expectations. In this regard, you're in no way inferior to the East Sea Emperor you admire."

As the old man finished speaking, the door to the lounge slowly opened. Upon seeing the newcomer, the believer's eyes narrowed slightly, and he subconsciously called out, "Grandma? You—"

"I'm here to watch your match and show some family support to our Mejiro family's future rising star." The head of the Mejiro family, supported by Aldan Mejiro, slowly walked into the lounge and smiled lovingly at Zenshin. Then, she turned her gaze to Kitano Ryuichi and said respectfully, "Trainer Kitano Ryuichi, nice to meet you. I am Mejiro Asama, the head of the Mejiro family."

"This time, I specifically heard about you and the believers and came to watch the finals. I felt that I should come to meet you in person and... thank you for everything you have done for the believers."

"You've accomplished something that so many of the Mejiro family's exclusive trainers haven't managed. You've discovered a rising star that our Mejiro family nearly buried. For this, on behalf of both the Mejiro family and Zenshin's grandmother, I owe you a personal thank you."

Chapter 118: Shanxin, I entrust this child to you

Mejiro Asama is the head of the Mejiro family, one of the two largest horse racing girl families in Japan. The other family is the symbolic family where the symbol of Rudo is located. These two families are the two families with the highest status among the horse racing girl families in Japan today. Naturally, the heads of these two families also have an extraordinary status in Japan.

It can be said that people born in such a family, whether male or female, human or horse girl, have already won over most people in the world in terms of the initial aspects - because they will never have to worry about food and clothing. With the financial resources of the Mejiro family, it is easy to arrange a well-paid job for people born in the Mejiro family.

Even if you are really born with no ability, lazy, incompetent and playful, it doesn't matter. The Mejiro family can help you find a leisurely job, allowing you to spend your life as a useless person and ensure that you will never have to worry about food and drink.

Of course, any member of the Mejiro family who agreed to this clause would no longer be considered a member of the Mejiro family, and even their relationship with their parents would be severed. The Mejiro family would not allow any member to tarnish the reputation of the Mejiro family.

This wasn't Kitano exaggerating; it was something the head of the Mejiro family had told him personally during his first few weeks. The head of the Mejiro family's meaning was quite clear: she wasn't particularly impressed by Kitano, who didn't seem particularly talented at the time—at least that's what Kitano thought.

This wasn't his first time meeting the Mejiro clan's headmaster. He'd led the Mejiro clan's Umamusume a few times in the early game, and he had to admit, he'd always had a good impression of the Mejiro clan's headmaster...at least better than the head of the Yuko clan.

Simply put, the symbolic head of the family is undoubtedly extremely strict with the people in her family. She will not even allow any losers to appear in her family. Even if you are a half-finished product, she will make you a person worthy of the title of the symbolic family.

The head of the Mejiro family, on the other hand, was relatively more Buddhist. She had always been gentle in her attitude towards her family members, rarely getting angry and rarely being serious. Most of the time, Kitano saw a cheerful and wealthy old grandmother who looked kindly at her younger generations.

To put it nicely, the Mejiro family head respected the younger generation's own ideas. To put it bluntly, the Mejiro family head never expected all members of the entire Mejiro family to be successful. Instead of wasting resources on children with little hope, it would be better to cultivate those who are capable of doing better.

Perhaps those aspects are not necessarily the domain of Uma Musume... but at least they can allow the children to play to their strengths. As for the resources they can enjoy, it will naturally be judged comprehensively based on the investment required in the field they are good at and their expressions.

Strictly speaking, in Kitano's opinion, the two family heads have their own merits and demerits, and there is no question of who is good or bad, right or wrong. It can only be said that at least Kitano was not forced to commit suicide by the head of the Mejiro family.

But I don’t know if it’s a prank by the three goddesses, or if the Mejiro family and Kitano are just not compatible in destiny... Whenever a horse girl from the Mejiro family comes, Kitano is forced to start over, and he never lives a good life in the second half of his life. It’s really strange.

Kitano thought so in his heart, but he also did not forget that in theory he had never met any of the other horse racing girls in the Mejiro family in his life. Therefore, facing the head of the Mejiro family in front of him, Kitano also played the superb acting skills he had honed over many rounds. With a look of surprise, he said to the head of the Mejiro family: "You, you are the head of the Mejiro family? I, I, I——"

"Pfft."

However, before Kitano could finish his words, Aldan Mejiro, who was supporting the head of the Mejiro family, suddenly laughed unconsciously and let out a cute laugh.

"No, sorry, that's rude."

Alda Mejiro suddenly realized that everyone's eyes were on her. As the eldest sister in the Mejiro family, Alda, who had a gentle and elegant appearance, apologized to everyone with a slightly blushing cheek.

She didn't know why, but when she saw Kitano's terrified look, she found it inexplicably funny. Obviously, all of Kitano's expressions were very natural, but Aldan subconsciously felt that Kitano was acting it out.

But she herself didn't know where her guess came from. After she couldn't help laughing, she felt something was a little strange.

"Excuse me, my child." The Mejiro family head didn't take it too seriously. He just said to Kitano gently, "Don't be so nervous, Trainer Kitano. Just treat me as an ordinary old man, as if I'm talking to you as a child's grandmother. Be natural."

"Yes." Although Kitano wanted to be more natural, he still stood straight, looking very uneasy. Aldan, who was standing beside him, almost couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Shanxin began to feel a bit strange looking at his sister. What was wrong with Sister Aldan today? She was usually such a gentle and elegant beauty, but why did she almost lose her composure several times today? Trainer Kitano wasn't funny, was he?

Shanxin was puzzled, but subconsciously moved closer to Kitano. She always had a strange sense of crisis...

"Trainer Kitano, I heard that he is the youngest central trainer so far, having passed the central qualification certificate at the age of 21." The head of the Mejiro family sat down at a seat and looked at Kitano in front of him, with interest and curiosity flashing in his eyes.

She also felt that Kitano looked familiar, as if it wasn't her first time seeing him. However, this familiarity wasn't entirely out of good intentions, as she felt as if this young man had done something that made her feel very uncomfortable...

However, the patriarch, true to his name, immediately suppressed his strange thoughts and said with a smile, "Trainer Kitano, can you tell me what you think of Shanxin? A talented trainer like you should choose a better horse girl. I watched the finals. Even a child like the East Sea Emperor was running for you, yet you only had your eyes on Shanxin."

"I don't think Shanxin will lose to the Emperor, Master Mejiro." Kitano's attitude softened slightly upon hearing this. He said to Master Mejiro, "This match proves that with the right guidance, Shanxin has enough strength to compete with the Emperor of the East China Sea."

"Shanxin has always been a genius, but she just hasn't been able to discover her potential. I just helped her, allowing her to recognize her strengths more quickly, which is how she became what she is today."

"Haha, yes." The Mejiro family head also smiled upon hearing this and said softly, "The Mejiro family has so many trainers who have nurtured Shanxin, Ryan, and McQueen since they were young. The latter two children have become successful, but they were the only ones who failed to discover Shanxin's potential. It was you who discovered it."

"Is this destiny? Or are you truly a once-in-a-century mentor? I don't dwell on these things. This time, besides thanking you, I also hope to entrust you with one more task."

As the head of the Mejiro family spoke, he glanced at Mejiro Zenshin beside him and said softly, "This child, Zenshin, has suffered a lot of injustice in the family. This is my fault as the head of the family. I also failed to discover Zenshin's potential and wasted many opportunities for her to develop her potential."

"I, and perhaps even the entire Mejiro family, may have misjudged him—but fortunately, this child met you, Trainer Kitano."

Having said this, the head of the Mejiro family also turned his gaze to Kitano and said softly, "Trainer Kitano, I am now representing myself, a grandmother who feels guilty towards her granddaughter. I entrust Shanxin to your care."

"Grandma?!" x2

However, when the Mejiro family head said this, Zenshin and Aldan beside them subconsciously looked at the Mejiro family head with wide eyes, but the Mejiro family head blocked their gazes with a small gesture. Her eyes never left Kitano from beginning to end. She smiled and said, "Let Zenshin become the horse girl she has always wanted to be. From now on, you guide her, and if possible, let her become a horse girl who can realize the long-cherished wish of the Mejiro family."

"The Mejiro family's long-cherished wish..."

Kitano was naturally very clear about this. After all, he had been a trainer of the Mejiro family for many times. He had no objection to this goal, but... on the road of constantly pursuing this dream, some things happened that made Kitano unhappy.

But even so, he couldn't refuse anything. After all, the Emperor's reward was a long-cherished wish. Even if he didn't say it, Kitano and Zennobu would not be able to avoid this hurdle in their future journey.

"I will, Master Mejiro."

Kitano nodded solemnly, then turned to look at Mejiro Zennobu beside him, bowed slightly and said, "Well, please give me your guidance, my horse girl, Mejiro Zennobu-san."

"Please, please give me more advice..."

The believer seemed a little restless, her hands were in a panic and she didn't know where to put them, but in the end she bowed deeply to Kitano to hide her restless heart.

What did Grandma just say...? What exactly does this entrustment mean?!

At this moment, not only Mejiro Zenshin thought so, but also Ardan. She looked at Kitano with a little uneasiness in her eyes, then looked at the nervous Mejiro Zenshin, and combined with the meaningful smile on her grandmother's face, Ardan always felt that her grandmother's "entrustment" seemed to have a deliberate double meaning!

But now, Mejiro Zenshin's behavior has verified what the head of the Mejiro family was thinking. She saw that the child Zenshin's feelings for trainer Kitano... are indeed a bit unusual.

Chapter 119: Stealing a trainer is like stealing a husband

The head of the Mejiro family and Aldan said goodbye to Kitano, and with the recommendation of the head of the Mejiro family, Mejiro Zennobu successfully became one of Kitano Ryuichi's horse girls. After confirming all this, the head of the Mejiro family slowly walked towards the school gate, intending to take his own car back to the Mejiro family.

On the way back, the head of the Mejiro family noticed the silence of Aldan beside him and asked calmly, "Aldan, what happened today?"

"Ah, I..." Ardan subconsciously came to her senses. The fact that she wasn't listening carefully made the Mejiro family head certain that she was worried. He immediately asked, "You haven't been acting well since you met Trainer Kitano today. You used to be someone who didn't lose your composure so easily. As the benchmark for our Mejiro family's horse girls, you need to perform well, Ardan."

"Yes...Grandmother."

"Okay, tell me what's going on?" Faced with Ardan's timid apology, the head of the Mejiro family did not make things difficult for Ardan. After all, although Ardan was in poor health, she was still the proud racehorse girl of their Mejiro family. Ardan, who had competed on the same stage with Oguruma and the others, had a very "honorable" status in the Mejiro family.

Unlike the side branches like McQueen, Ardan is the true orthodox bloodline of the Mejiro family. Compared with the other sisters, Ardan's bloodline has a very important meaning to the Mejiro family, which is now lacking fresh blood. She may symbolize the continuation of the orthodox bloodline of the Mejiro family. Therefore, her status is higher than McQueen, Zenshin and Ryan.

But what troubled the Mejiro family was that their precious granddaughter was frail and sickly. She had the talent to be a horse girl, but not the physique to be one. Without a physique, how could she win honors as a horse girl? And how could she safely carry on the family line?

But no matter what, the head of the Mejiro family still treasures this granddaughter of orthodox blood. While helping Aldan to recuperate as much as possible, he also lets her be by his side almost all the time. She is truly the apple of the Mejiro family's eye.

As for whether Altan Mejiro will take over her position in the future... the head of the Mejiro family has not thought about it yet, but at least, the next head of the family must not be weak and sickly. Such a physique is prone to many problems. The head of the Mejiro family hopes that she can live a few more years and see Altan's children grow up healthily, so that she can be relieved of many things.

Of course, ensuring Ardan gave birth to a healthy child was also a problem... The head of the Mejiro family had seen many ups and downs, and in his youth he was a ruthless person who locked his trainers in the basement. What worried her most about Ardan was what kind of person Ardan's partner would be...

Children like Aldan are usually easy to arouse people's desire to protect, but when the horse jumps, the delicate girl may not arouse people's desire to protect... But Aldan's body can't withstand too much torture, even though she is a racehorse girl, and theoretically her physique is several times stronger than that of humans.

This is also the reason why the head of the Mejiro family is so concerned about Aldan's affairs. She is always worried that Aldan, a child who is protected too well, will be deceived by some people with beastly hearts. Therefore, she has to carefully observe Aldan's words and deeds.

In response to the question from the head of the Mejiro family, Aldan opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know where to start.

What could she say? Was it because she had heard her grandmother "entrust" Shanxin to Trainer Kitano, and the meaning of the word "entrust" kept echoing in her mind?

Wouldn't that make me the kind of older sister who's trying to steal the trainer from her younger sister? For a moment, Aldan didn't know why he was so upset.

It's obviously a good thing that Sister Shanxin can find such a good trainer like Mr. Kitano, so why does she feel so unhappy?

Ardan, lost in thought, seemed to notice the strange gaze of his grandmother beside him. He immediately came to his senses and whispered the truth, "Grandmother... I just kept thinking, what you said before, about entrusting Sister Shanxin to Trainer Kitano... I always feel that there is some ambiguity."

"Grandmother, are you planning to marry Trainer Kitano into your family? Are you trying to match Sister Shanxin with Trainer Kitano?"

Aldan Mejiro's method was very clever. She deliberately used a joke to cover up her real inner anxiety. From a rational point of view, she thought that her inexplicable worries should be a false alarm. After all, even if the grandmother was old and began to look forward to having many children and grandchildren like a normal old person, she would not match people up randomly.

When it comes to the wedding banquets of the children in the family, the grandmother is still very authoritative. There are so many descendants of the Mejiro family, and it is extremely rare for the grandmother to interfere in the marriages of the younger generations - with so many descendants of the Mejiro family, if the grandmother had to participate in each of them, she would be extremely exhausted.
