Stop being a trainer!

'Like Gold: Uncle, can you talk to me now?'

'Tempered into Steel: What happened?'

'Like gold: This is a bit uncomfortable to say... Let's just start the video.'

In his room, Kato Akira looked around his room and his appearance and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, so he approved Orphie's application.

Soon, in a dark dormitory, Orphie, who was wearing a floral silk pajamas and a mask, looked at Kato Akira on the screen and scratched her hair embarrassedly.

It seemed that because it was summer, Orphie wore relatively cool clothes when she slept. You could even see the straps of her pajamas hanging thinly on her bare, smooth shoulders, without any attachments hanging on her shoulders.

And it seemed that he was completely unaware of the problem with his image. Orfi knelt upright on the bed, looking at Kato Akira on the screen with his head lowered deeply.

"Uncle... I'm sorry to call you out at this time."

"It's okay. I'm your trainer after all."

Without looking away, not looking at the slender figure and fair skin faintly visible under the silk pajamas, Kato Akira always maintained the serious and friendly expression of an educator as he looked at Orphie in front of him.

"After all, you are my first responsibility. And didn't we go through a difficult time together before? We could speak freely back then, and now we can speak freely even more. What happened? Tell me."

"Well...that's it."

Her lavender eyes looked around timidly, then she took a deep breath, as if she was very nervous, and she slowly opened her mouth and trembled as she spoke:

"I have a friend who seems to have made a friend of the opposite sex."

"Ok?"

Listening to Orphie's words, Kato Akira's eyes suddenly froze.

Deep impact has a boyfriend?

No feeling? He still looks silly and happy all day, running like crazy, as if he has no impression?

Kato Akira looked at Orphie, whose eyes kept dodging in front of him, and his mind went into a frenzy, but he didn't find any clues.

The main thing is that Trayson College is a girls' school. Except for the trainers and janitors, the rest are all horse girls. Could it be that Deep Impact has found a boyfriend who is a janitor or a trainer?

Fuck, am I going to be bullied? No, am I going to be deprived of my responsibility?

Then what should I do with my trainer's double insurance? ?

"Tell me more about it."

I'd like to see what's going on.

Looking at Orphie who seemed a little nervous, Kato Akira completely got into the state. He didn't care about Orphie's cool clothes and spoke directly in a deep voice.

And Orfe on the screen nodded as if with a heavy expression, lifted up his pajamas, and said carefully:

"My friend and I had a very good relationship. But he has become a little distant recently."

"But I always thought we were best friends. We would share whatever happened, and no matter what happened, it would not affect our friendship."

"And he has always said so. He will share everything and any ideas. We are best friends. But recently, I got the news that he seems to have found a very good friend of the opposite sex."

With his fingers clenched on the corner of his clothes, Orphie looked at the machine in front of him with lavender eyes and spoke intermittently.

It even seemed as if he felt a little cold in his pajamas. In the dark dormitory, Orphie's body seemed to tremble as he looked at the screen.

It seemed that because of the deep impact, no one knew what he was doing outside. Orfie was the only one in the dormitory. In the light of the screen, the expression between Orfie's eyebrows became complicated.

Looking at Orphie like this, Kato Akira's expression gradually became solemn.

"And the other party didn't tell me this news. Although I know that maybe he just forgot about it for a moment, and I also know that this may be just me thinking too much, but I really want to believe it. I have always believed that friends should talk about everything and trust each other to the extreme. Maybe I am asking too much. I have also thought so."

"But if you can't do it, you shouldn't have said it so confidently. I said it without any ulterior motives at the time, but I couldn't do it afterwards. Isn't this too much? So I want to ask you, uncle, how should I deal with my feelings in this situation. And I hope you can tell me what the other party is thinking."

"Just a simple answer would be fine. I just want to confirm an answer."

"...Orpheus."

Looking at the girl on the other side of the screen who was wearing cool clothes but whose expression was gradually breaking down like gold, Kato Akira picked up his phone.

"Come with me now, to the old place."

"Eh?"

"I have something to tell you. It's true that I have neglected you too much recently, but I still have something to tell you. Come downstairs, I'll come over too."

“Ah, yes… yes!”

"..."

What a disgusting intuition...

Riyedengfen, who was hiding outside the door, watched Kato Akira quickly go downstairs and ride away on his electric scooter, and curled his lips in disgust.

Chapter 38: Approaching Step by Step (9th update!)

For others, there may be many old places, such as the trainer's office, the basement of the school building, and some other messy places.

But for the goldsmith and Kato Akira, there has only ever been one old place for both of them.

That's where they met each other, in that shabby little house.

She once thought that if she failed the trainer exam the first time, the two of them would hide in that small house, she would be the one in charge and Kato Akira would be the simulated trainer, and they would spend some time like this until the next exam came.

The metalworker even thought about what to do if that place became their future base, and placed some small electrical appliances in it, intending to turn it into a small nest for the two of them.

However, with the passage of time, Kato Akira has become a real trainer, and even has a certain degree of influence in the entire Tresen Academy and has considerable power.

And what about the goldsmith? The ponygirl who was supposed to save him is now a ponygirl who is worried about her sister and family and can't even take responsibility.

Even when the goldsmith arrived, he was feeling extremely nervous.

Looking at the nostalgic scenes around her, the goldsmith in the night always recalled the scene of their meeting at this time last year, and how they had talked about the future here and fantasized about the distant tomorrow.

But since when did she become so anxious about gains and losses? Was it from the very beginning? Yes, she was always anxious about gains and losses, looking ahead and behind. She was laughed at by her sister and looked down upon by other students. It was like this from the very beginning. However, she was like this, she should have trembled in the waves, but she finally met her fate.

In the rainy forest, she was laughed at by the so-called genius, ignored by the instructor, and her sister was preparing to have some relationship with her trainer. At that time, she was like a poor little animal curled up in the forest, and even thought about death. But at that time, a person appeared.

She risked being fired or even sued, but a truly great figure appeared before her. Even though she knew later that he was not as great as she had imagined, to a goldsmith, he was the greatest man.

No one is warmer than that figure, because he gives a broken heart a home in the rainy night.

So, if it's true, then she...

"Uncle..."

"I'm here."

"Oh! Yes, I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"

"How come you're still the same as you were a year ago? I remember you were like this then, right?"

After circling out of the abandoned house and taking the tram to get ahead of the hesitant Orphie, Kato Akira, who was hiding in the house, smiled at the furry ball with a shivered face.

"It looks like a wounded little hedgehog, curled up in a corner. Even if someone sees it, it just curls up, using apologies as its own weapon, and never opens its heart to others."

"I was thinking, ah, this little girl seems to be easy to manipulate, and she will definitely be able to help me win over the Uma Musume in the future."

"Although it seems like you haven't been of any help at all, it's okay this way."

"Well...I just don't have any friends..."

Looking at Kato Akira's smiling face, the goldsmith, wearing a simple school uniform, squatted down and drew circles with some frustration.

Although the ground was not the mixed mud as before, and there were no branches or other things on hand, Orphie's face was still full of regret.

"Even if I wanted to help him, I couldn't. I couldn't even help him. When I heard the news, I was so scared that I hurriedly made a video call..."

"That's true. I do have a friend, but I didn't tell you. I didn't even tell anyone. But if it was exposed, it must be because of the equal division of day and night. That damn kid always likes to do unnecessary things."

"Then why? Did we do something wrong?"

"No, I am doing this precisely because you have done nothing wrong and have done everything the best."

"?"

"Orpheus."

"Yes, I have."

"Of all the student horse girls I know, I only tell you this. I only trust you, so you must not tell anyone."

Looking at Orphie who subconsciously stood up straight with his chest and head held high as if waiting for instructions, Kato Akira sighed.

He knew that it might be a bit too much for him to say these words to the students, but to be honest, a year had passed, a full year had passed.

When facing the shivering Orphee, Kato Akira even felt as if he had traveled back to a year ago and saw the little ball shivering in the forest.

But at that time, he was a malicious savior, hoping that Orphie could become his limbs and trunk, hoping that Orphie could become his eyes and ears, and slowly open a channel for him in Tresen College.

Perhaps it would have been better if I hadn't met Representative Qian Ming and the symbol Rudolph at that time.

In that case, Orphie and I would still hide in this shabby little house, telling jokes every day, and living a hard life, but still finding a little happiness.

Instead of being like now, even because of some of his actions, the horse girl who had followed him the earliest and was simple and innocent and had never thought of anything was trembling like when she was bullied.

So, even if it would expose his situation, if it was any other horse girl, Kato Akira would probably hide it and not say anything, or maybe just say some nice words to get away with it. But to this horse girl who has always followed him, never doubted him, and always supported him, Kato Akira couldn't lie.

His soul told him that he should tell the truth on this summer night.

Kato Akira looked at the horse girl in front of him who seemed to be made of gold, delicate and beautiful, and slowly told the truth that he had suppressed for so long.

"I, in fact, have always been full of desire for you. Your every move is full of charm to me. What I like is human ears. I want to be sure of this fact, so I don't want to tell you. That's all."

"……Eh?"

With his beautiful purple eyes wide open, the goldsmith looked at Kato Akira in surprise, seeming a little at a loss.

Chapter 39: It’s all Xia Tian’s fault (10th update!)

"Adults' desires are very filthy."

Looking at the metalworker who was stunned in the night, Kato Akira did not move at all. He just stood there and looked at the girl in front of him quietly.

Because he knew how shocking his words were, and he also knew that his current behavior was essentially no different from sexual harassment. However, since he already had a friend like Kiryuin Aoi, Kato Akira decided to say goodbye to his dirty and inferior thoughts.

If he had a choice, he would also like to be a good person. No one wants to be a born evil person. If the environment allows, Kato Akira also wants to be a good person in the true sense, who can make everyone trust and feel at ease.

Who doesn’t want the world they live in to be a better place? Who doesn’t want their life to have a glorious rainbow? Kato Akira once lived a life of despair, but now he feels that the world is different.

So he decided to believe in this world, and he decided to start making some real choices that would make him a good person.

"I used to have a lot of mean thoughts about you, Orphie. Even when we were video chatting just now."

"Eh? Eh?"

"You're wearing silk pajamas, right? They're semi-transparent and your figure is exposed. And even though it's summer, I think you should wear protection before sleeping."

"!!! Uncle! Are you telling the truth? No, you are not lying to me on purpose!"

"You can sense it, right? Why don't you just feel it yourself?"

"Woo..."

Looking at Orphie, whose cheeks suddenly turned red, who squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, stammering, and was so shy that she couldn't even speak, Kato Akira took out a lighter from his arms, took out a refreshing chocolate and put it in his mouth.

The evening breeze blew through the forest on a summer night. The breeze that had been filtered by the forest seemed to bring a little coolness, gradually blowing away the heat and uneasiness in the environment.

Seeing the blush on Orphie's cheeks gradually fade away, Kato Akira still said calmly:

"Orphie, how old are you?"

"Fourteen years old...I'll be fifteen soon..."

"Yeah, fourteen years old, middle school student. To me you should be the little brat who wears a uniform in school and calls me teacher."

Looking at Orphie who seemed to be even more timid in front of him, Kato Akira nodded and said naturally:

"But I have developed a desire for you. You trust me without reservation, and I know that. Your feelings are likes, the kind of love you get from seeing an elder. Perhaps this kind of feeling will turn into true love after brewing for a long time, but not now. You are still too young."

"Time is equal to you and me, but our time is not the same. I can't let my dirty desires become a dam to block you. I like you very much, but that is not love, but the desire of males for beautiful females. I like you, like deep impact, like Rudolph symbol, like everyone, I love everyone I see, I like everyone I see, this is called desire."

"I know your feelings towards me. It is admiration, trust, and liking. Maybe it will turn into love in the distant future, but what I have for you is pure desire."

"I can't accept this happening, because I can't accept that I am a scumbag who is even more of a scum than the people who bullied me before. If that's the case, the pain I suffer is not pain, but the punishment I deserve. I will never accept this happening. It is my wound, but also my honor. I came out of that environment, definitely not to become the next scum. Although, I almost became that kind of person."
