Stop being a trainer!

It's hot.

Walking out of the trainer's office, the cicadas outside the window were chirping miserably, bringing a hot atmosphere.

Even changing his windbreaker into a simple shirt couldn't relieve the feeling of heat in his heart. Kato Akira continued walking along the corridor, and the feeling of heat in his heart kept growing, as if the sun was in front of him, urging him to leave.

But what does it matter? As a worker, can he not submit reports?

Restraining his anxiety, Kato Akira turned the corner of the corridor and bumped into a petite woman.

The documents in her hands fell to the ground. The uniformed woman let out a short scream and quickly squatted down to collect the files without even looking at Kato Akira.

"Let me help clean up. Sorry. I wasn't paying attention to the road."

"Ah, it's okay. I was just thinking about my responsibilities, so I didn't look at the road..."

The trainer, who had black hair and a half-bob hairstyle that looked like a high school student, apologized in panic, then looked up at Kato Akira.

The moment the female trainer saw Kato Akira lowering his head to pick up the scattered documents, she froze where she was.

Then after a while, he asked cautiously:

"Um, may I ask, are you the trainer of the Emperor of the East Sea?"

"……Who are you?"

"I'm a new generation trainer. Due to family reasons, I was delayed in reporting to the school. I've heard about my predecessors, so I've always wanted to meet them."

A bright smile instantly appeared on his face, and the young-looking trainer happily shook his hand.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kiryuin Aoi, thank you for your guidance!"

"..."

Human ears! Here comes the human ear!

Oh my God, she really is a girl with human ears!

Looking at the human ears shining brightly under the hair, Kato Akira's eyes suddenly burst into a strong light.

Chapter 33: Humans are coming (Fourth update!)

It was as if the irritation and screams in his heart just now were all fake. Looking at Kiryuin Aoi who was smiling a little stiffly but following him closely, Kato Akira felt touched.

It can even be said that he felt the true call of destiny.

How long has it been? A year. For a whole year, he had no social life, no normal friends.

It's true. For a year, a full year, his phone is full of horsegirl contacts. He spends an hour a day processing the contacts and conversations. All of them are horsegirls, not a single human.

If this continues, Kato Akira will doubt that his sexual fetish and marriage choice will be transferred to Ma Musume. However, he is a staunch human ear person and will never be defeated by Ma Musume's sugar-coated bullets. Kato Akira is also very distressed about this, and even feels that his life may be over.

Even when he asked Day and Night, who was now eating and sleeping all day long because he had just started school, that he wanted to have a girlfriend with human ears in the future, he was laughed at silently by Day and Night. That dead kid didn't even say anything, just lying on the sofa, eating melon seeds, shaking his ears, with a relaxed and happy expression, as if he was watching a clown show. That look really hurt Kato Akira's heart deeply.

Human ears, I want to find a girlfriend with a human ear. After converting the two worlds, it is time for him to consider starting a family and building a career. What's wrong with wanting to find a girlfriend?

Kato Akira thought, thought, and thought again, then he saw the address book in his hand and fell into despair.

It seems that in the future we can only see Maltese schoolgirls and nothing else.

However, at this moment, at this critical time, after experiencing that disgusting and long-term irritating life, Kato Akira found the person he could truly understand!

Kiryuin Aoi, a rookie trainer. As the only descendant of the Kiryuin family, she has mastered many training techniques that are only passed down within the family. It seems that the contribution of Aojiru was provided by the Kiryuin family, so Kiryuin Aoi was specially approved to become a trainer.

Although the trainer is a very strict profession in theory, absolutely no backdoor is allowed, and various measures are in place to protect it, but people like Aoi Kiryuin, who come from aristocratic families, can still easily get in. There is nothing that can be done about it. Fortunately, Aoi Kiryuin truly loves Umamusume and is willing to contribute to the Umamusume business.

Moreover, she is not the kind of person who likes to listen to rumors, but has her own set of skills in training horse girls, and also has her own set of judgments on making friends and understanding. So it was even Kiryuin Aoi who took the initiative to propose that the two of them could find a place to have a good talk.

So under the somewhat strange gaze of the dean, a conversation took place in which both parties were very curious about each other.

"It's a human ear. It really is a beautiful girl with human ears!"

Inside Saizeriya, Kiryuin Aoi was placing an order. Although she didn't do anything special, the sight of her gently combed hair, exposed ears, and soft voice moved Kato Akira to the point of being unable to control himself.

How does that saying go? If you want to have true recognition and understanding in the world, then there must be a signpost in this world.

But Kato Akira actually didn't have this signpost. No matter how close he was to his students, they were still just students after all.

If you want to leave a deeper mark in this world, you need some special relationships.

For example, family, lovers, and loved ones.

Although the former has a step-sister, she was also parachuted in after all, and there is no essential difference between her and the students. But the Kiryuin Aoi in front of him is different, because she was chosen by herself.

And as if she had noticed Kato Akira's fiery gaze, in the gentle voice of Saria, Kiryuin Aoi looked at herself with some surprise, tidied herself up and down a little, then blushed and asked a little embarrassedly:

"Excuse me, Senior, have I done anything rude that makes you stare at me like this?"

"No, not really. I was just thinking about training."

"Really? Senior is indeed a very good trainer. He can have a flash of inspiration in a place like this and use what he sees in training?"

“Not really, it’s just that more thinking may lead to more solutions in the future.”

"As expected of a senior!"

"..."

"She didn't see it! She didn't see it! This is what a human being is! That's great, she really didn't see it, it's really touching!"

Although he said nothing on the surface and just nodded silently, Kato Akira was already cheering in his heart.

For a year, whenever Kato Akira lied, those Maltese schoolgirls could sense it. As a result, Kato Akira now always used righteous and true lies to deceive people. Or he would say something ambiguous, which was true but the meaning was a little distorted.

However, what a great girl with human ears! Even if someone lies to her face, she won't notice it! So when you are looking for a wife, you must look for a woman with human ears. Isn't this much better than Saima-Musume? At least there is no need to worry about being suppressed in all aspects in the future.

With all sorts of thoughts running through his mind, Kato Akira looked at Kiryuin Aoi in front of him and whispered:

"You came to me to ask about my experience as a trainer. Am I right in understanding that?"

"Ah, that's it!"

With her hair pulled up to reveal her ears, Aoi Kiryuin looked at Kato Akira in front of her with an embarrassed smile and nodded seriously.

"I am really curious about the story between you and the Emperor of the East China Sea. Can you tell me about it? How did you train the Emperor of the East China Sea and how did you become the star trainer you are today? Ah, I know there are some key personal secrets that don't need to be told, you just need to tell me what you can. I hope to use your experience on myself, so please feel free to give me your advice."

"On your body?"

"Ah, yes. I have also found my role and am now coaching. You see, this is my role, Happy Mick."

"Ah."

Feeling the warmth from Kiryuin Aoi's body when she came closer and turned on her phone, Kato Akira nodded.

"It feels good."

"Yeah! I also think Happy Mick is a very good kid! It's just that it's hard to get close to him. I'm worried about this recently!"

Completely unaware of Kato Akira's thoughts, Kiryuin Aoi smiled brightly.

Chapter 34 Get the First Human Friend! (Fifth Update!)

There are many times when things like stress and irritability are like accumulated stones, constantly piling up in the mind.

This invisible and intangible emotion will continue to accumulate, from small things, some small things that you thought you would not remember, but all kinds of pressure and irritability will accumulate and eventually condense into a kind of pressure that makes people uneasy.

For example, someone like Kato Akira is obsessed with making money and becoming a big shot, which is not wrong. But when faced with Umamusume's complaints, the exclusion and isolation of others, and those stormy comments and events, does he really have no thoughts in his heart? He still has some.

Although it's not much, seeing someone scolding him, or even feeling scared or unhappy about him on the anonymous forum, this kind of thing will still accumulate dissatisfaction. Normally, this kind of irritation may disappear within a few days, or even not stay for too long. However, the various events and matters that followed one after another also made Kato Akira feel that his pressure could not be dissipated.

Although the pressure from a little thing is not much, it will completely interrupt the process of relieving stress. And constant little things and constant debris will eventually accumulate into a huge landslide, crushing everyone.

Many times people do not realize why a seemingly honest and hardworking person suddenly explodes. It is because the countless trivialities and small things entrusted to him interrupt the process of venting.

And these pressures will eventually accumulate to a terrible level, becoming a terrifying volcano that erupts and blows everyone to pieces.

This is the case with Kato Akira. He has no channel to vent at all.

The reason why he wants to find a girlfriend or a woman to date is because he can't find anyone to talk to about his stress and troubles.

What can he say? Complain to his students about seeing a bunch of stupid trainers bashing him today, and then having to write dozens of completely meaningless reports, wishing he could just use artificial intelligence to write them and hand them in, even if no one reads them?

He definitely couldn't tell these to the students. He definitely couldn't tell other employees, like Junchuan Bridle, because the relationship wasn't that good. And let alone other classmates and trainers, he didn't even join their group, and didn't know what happened at all. Many things were only known after the fact, and he himself had no idea.

So when Kato Akira saw that Kiryuin Aoi was really willing to communicate with him, he even felt touched.

Even though he later discovered that Kiryuin Aoi had no intention of making friends at all, he still felt really touched at this moment.

And now in the Saizeriya Family Restaurant, sitting in the position where he and Rudolph once symbolically discussed the whereabouts of the East China Sea Emperor, Kato Akira looked at Kiryuin Aoi who was talking incessantly about the things she was responsible for and showed an understanding expression.

"Well, we do need to take good care of them. We are the only adults they can trust here."

"Right? Happy Mick, my responsibility. This kid is actually more amazing than I thought. I hope to be able to take her to the final stage, and then I will feel it is meaningful."

"That's unlikely."

"Senior?! Why are you hitting me so hard?"

"Because my Big Shock will also debut this year, and with Happy Mick, it's impossible to beat her."

"That's not necessarily true, Kato-senpai. Happy Mick is actually more talented than I thought. He can actually master many high-intensity trainings and can even learn techniques on his own. He's not just an ordinary good boy, right?"

"Yes, I know. I looked at the numerical table of all the students in the school. Happy Mick's numerical values ​​are about 170 speed, 120 strength, 90 stamina, 120 root, 200 wisdom, and he has not yet mastered the domain. He has the skills of clockwise proficiency and earth solidity. Am I right?"

"…Huh? You memorized them all? The whole school? Thousands of them?"

"What's the problem? If you want to defeat the enemy, you have to understand the enemy. This is a matter of course."

Looking at Kiryuin Aoi who had a surprised expression on her face, Kato Akira looked at this elite trainer with some confusion.

"Rather, if you really love someone and want to understand him, this aspect should be the foundation. Only by understanding your own responsibilities and the enemy's abilities can you defeat them completely. That's what I think."

"I see. Is this the reason why you are so powerful..."

"Not really, it's mainly because they are very capable. They often choose to train on their own, and I actually just serve as a consultant."

Looking at Kiryuin Aoi who seemed to be muttering to himself, Kato Akira waved his hands, trying to dispel the tense atmosphere on the field.

"What we really need to do is to believe in our own responsibilities and believe that they can create unexpected miracles. The trainers believe in them, and they will also believe in the trainers. So as long as we understand each other, everything will be fine."

"The power of belief? Yes, I need to remember this..."

"What are you doing?"

"Ah, it's a training note. There's a section about training. Write everything down. This is what my parents taught me when I was a kid."

Seeing Kato Akira's curious expression, Kiryuin Aoi quickly smiled brightly and waved the notebook in her hand. The brand new notebook was already filled with densely written words.

"I heard that the overseas trainer will come back to coach, and Tresen Academy has finally decided to go global, so I have to work hard! The reputation of the Kiryuin family cannot fall in my hands! I also want to be a hero who protects my family!"

"Overseas trainers? Will those who are developing overseas come back?"

Hearing the news, Kato Akira raised his eyebrows.

"That's amazing, but it's a pity that I don't have so many ideas. After all, my only thought is to make a lot of money."

"Eh~ But doesn't the senior already have a powerful person like the Emperor of the East Sea?"

"The Emperor is indeed very powerful, but what I am most worried about is the long journey of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation. And if there is a runaway horse in front of the Emperor, he will be very anxious."

"Is that so? Then we need to correct it through training..."

The time of communication is always happy. Under the conversation and small talk, time seems to have pressed the fast-forward button inadvertently. After chatting for a long time, Aoi Kiryuin looked at her phone and soon showed a surprised expression.

"Ah, it's already this late. Happy Mick should have finished her independent training. I should go back and pick her up."

“…Take care.”

"But wait, Kato-senpai, can you tell me your contact number?"

"why?"

"Because I want to keep communicating with you about my experience in nurturing people...Is this really a bit too much?"

Kiryuin Aoi held the cell phone, looked at Kato Akira cautiously, and asked tentatively.

Kato Akira looked at the cautious Kiryuin, looked at her slightly immature face, and slowly exhaled.

The anxiety in my heart dissipated.

"Okay. Let's exchange contact information."
