Stop being a trainer!

Looking at Kato Akira still wearing his coat at home, Rudolf was slightly stunned, then he reacted immediately.

"Is it the classmate who is equal in day and night? The one who is studying at the Tresen Affiliated School. I remember that she is your sister. I met her at the New Year's Shrine."

"Yeah. She was a little bored at school, so I asked her to come over and watch TV with me to increase her knowledge of the outside world."

Making way for him, Kato Akira walked back to the room silently in his coat, then turned around and looked at Rudolph who had followed him and asked with a smile:

"Isn't this going to violate any school rules? After all, I'm a trainer now, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to let my sister come and see, right? After all, she's going to school this year, too."

"Ah, there is no problem with that. Your sister is also an excellent horse racing girl, so it's okay."

Listening to the sound of the TV coming from the room, Rudolph smiled gently, a smile that was completely different from his previous ones.

Walking into the room, which had maintained almost the same original decoration, the sister who symbolized the equal division of day and night in Rudolph's impression was watching TV intently.

Even when the Rudolph symbol arrived, she didn't say anything, she just wiggled her ears, and then watched the cartoon on the TV screen seriously. The magical girl was beating the villain with her sharp fists, which looked particularly intimidating.

"It looks like this kid really likes this animation, let's go in and talk."

"Ah, okay."

After taking a look at the equal division of day and night which seemed to have no reaction, Kato Akira walked into the study with the Rudolph symbol and closed the wooden door.

As the click of the mechanism opened and closed, the volume of the TV outside seemed to become dim, and only some fragmentary words could be transmitted from outside the door into the room.

Kato Akira looked at the Rudolph symbol who seemed a little uneasy, and simply pulled a chair for her to sit on. He sat behind the desk and looked at the uneasy Rudolph symbol in front of him with a smile.

"What's wrong? I remember that the Rudolph I knew before was not like this. After taking off the black stockings, he seemed to become pure white, right? In the past, you would drag me out in a swift and decisive manner, and then interrogate me to answer questions."

"Don't be ridiculous, Trainer. I am no longer the person I was before. I was just a disguise to maintain the environment back then."

"So? What did you come here to talk to me about?"

After pouring a cup of coffee and handing it to Rudolph, Kato Akira sat on the sofa and looked at the horse girl in front of him.

"I have to state in advance that I have been dating Deep Impact and the Metalworker all this time, and I have been helping the Emperor of the East China Sea rebuild his confidence. I have not done anything else. It's your turn."

"Ah, actually, I want you to do me a favor."

"You are the student council president, what can I do for you?"

"It's something only you can do."

Looking at Kato Akira who seemed a little confused in front of him, Rudolf rubbed his legs together with some embarrassment.

The white stockings seemed to make a delicate friction sound, even making the vague sounds outside become clearer.

"I hope, Trainer Kato Akira, that you can postpone the East Sea Emperor competition for a while. It would be best if you don't let her rush into the Triple Crown competition. Her body is too fragile. If she forces herself to compete in the Triple Crown competition within these three months, something will definitely happen to her."

"...Are you serious? Rudolph Symbol? You want to distort the trajectory of that child's life with your own will?"

Sitting on the chair, Kato Akira looked at the Rudolph symbol in front of him, who seemed a little ashamed, and raised his eyebrows in surprise, as if he couldn't believe that this was what Rudolph symbol said.

And as if to serve as a foil, the sound of the cartoon outside the door gradually became louder, as if the battle between the good guys and the bad guys had reached its climax.

'I am the master of my own life! I don't need your help at all!'

"Damn magical girl, don't you know that this is the only happy choice for you? !"

"That's not my choice! My suffering, my tears, are also part of my life! How can you understand the pain of the puppet when you have been deprived of all that? Take it!"

“Ugh—”

"...I'll go tell her to keep her voice down."

"No, no thanks, let's just chat like this."

Pulling Kato Akira who was about to stand up, Rudolph showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Chapter 75 The Confused Emperor

"So what are you going to talk about? The only commonality between us should be the Emperor of the East Sea. Did something happen to her? Are you bypassing me to give you suggestions?"

"Ah, that's not the case. The emperor didn't say anything to me. I just went to check on her condition without permission..."

Facing Kato Akira's somewhat strange look, Rudolf's symbolic expression became increasingly stiff.

Just like a parent being criticized by a teacher, although there is no real connection between the Rudolph symbol and the East Sea Emperor, nor any special blood relationship, but from the soul, the Rudolph symbol feels very appropriate and smooth to the East Sea Emperor. It is like touching a part of his soul, producing a very wonderful smooth and natural feeling.

So no matter what, Rudolf symbolizes the hope that the Emperor of the East Sea can find his own direction and his own destination. This is what she thought at the beginning. Even like those cruel parents, she was prepared to support the Emperor of the East Sea even if he cried and begged her.

But after just a dozen days, Rudolf found that his vows and ambitions disappeared like spring snow.

The Emperor of the East China Sea did not come to beg her, nor did he even plan to meet her again. Instead, he really followed Kato Akira, going out early and returning late, constantly learning about running and some things that only Kato Akira knew.

This made Rudolf feel very confused, because in her impression, the Emperor of the East China Sea was always such a noisy child. Even though his leg was broken and his temper was much more restrained, he always smiled in front of her. How could such a child who was afraid of loneliness not say something to her?

Then Rudolf decided to hide her identity and observe what kind of training the East Sea Emperor was going through in the dark. Then she was surprised to find that the East Sea Emperor's training was weird. She just walked on the racecourse in the snow every day. Occasionally, Kato Akira would watch from the side, that's all.

Walking on the field, it was as if his soul had been lost, he walked slowly, step by step. Even the route he walked was crooked, like a snake. In the ice and snow, the East Sea Emperor, who should have been weak, completely shed his immature side, and the feeling of tying his ponytail even gave him a sense of elegance and calmness.

Rudolf really felt uneasy and scared, and even wanted to question what Kato Akira meant.

But she had no qualifications, nor the right. Because she was the one who forced Kato Akira to accept the Emperor of the East Sea. Even if she wanted to say something or accuse him of something, she couldn't do it at all.

After all, no matter what, saying that you believe in the other party, but actually doing something secretly, such behavior seems very morbid and inappropriate. However, the concern for the Emperor of the East China Sea still made Rudolf symbolize some unrealistic ideas.

"Regarding the matter of Donghai Emperor-san...I would like you to consider changing your training method."

“Would you like to do something?”

There was no emotion in Kato Akira's voice, it was as if he was pushing something, and Rudolph symbol also gained a little bit of strange confidence.

"I want her to live a safer life, so there is no need to rush for the Gaoyue Sho in April. She is still a child, and there are many events that can be beneficial to her."

The more Rudolph spoke, the more confidence he found, and his language began to become more fluent.

"Because of the problem with her feet, many things can't be seen simply from the surface. So I hope that sometimes more detailed examinations can be carried out, which will be a good thing for her."

"It's best to have a gap of at least four months between competitions. This way, not only can the sole of the foot get enough rest, but it will also be very convenient for post-match inspections. Especially for her, this is something she needs in order to live safely in this world."

"For example, the perception training she is currently doing in the ice and snow may help her develop a strong character and will, but it is definitely not good for her health. I don't want to interfere with your training plan, but objectively speaking, I can provide some better conditions and better training equipment. What do you think?"

"I think what you said is good, but I need to get another person's opinion."

Kato Akira raised his eyebrows and pressed the phone button under Rudolph's somewhat confused look. After a few seconds of waiting, a slightly hoarse voice came out over the speaker.

"Trainer? I was just taking a bath and resting. Did something happen? Or do I need to modify my training plan?"

"If there is a plan that would be better for your feet, but would require you to give up the Gaoyue Award, would you like it?"

"Then I would rather die on the field."

"Very good, you seem to be in good spirits. I won't bother you anymore."

Hearing the decisive reply, Kato Akira hung up the phone with one hand, threw it on the table, and looked at the pale-faced Rudolph symbol in front of him.

"I remember you, Emperor, once said that there is a trusting relationship between trainers and horse girls. We are of one mind and one body, leaving no gaps or room for each other. So for things like changing the training plan, I must discuss it with her."

"But this kind of thing——"

"There is no but, Rudolph. You should know this better than anyone else."

Waving his hand to interrupt Rudolf's stammering voice, Kato Akira looked coldly at the former tyrant in front of him.

How strange, Rudolph had tried his best to teach him this truth a few months ago. But when the time came, Rudolph gave up this choice.

The horse girls are really passionate creatures. They don't even know their own thoughts. So they often need humans to control their direction. This is why Kato Akira is not afraid of these horse girls.

How could humans be afraid of powerful but useful tools?

"There is no but, maybe, or perhaps in this world."

Picking up a cigarette from the drawer, Kato Akira put it in his mouth without lighting it, looking at the Rudolph symbol, and said seriously:

"These words are incompetent, fake, and weak. Since I have become her trainer and she has chosen me, we must work hard for our common dream. Her dream is the Triple Crown Classic. Even if she wants to die on the field, I will respect her idea."

"Because I'm her trainer, and I made a promise to her, not you."

Chapter 76 Am I weak? (Please recommend! Please vote for the monthly ticket! Please reward!)

"…It's really impolite to visit you so late at night. I'm really sorry. I may come back to bother you again in the future. Please forgive me."

"See you."

Waving goodbye to the somewhat sad-looking symbol of Rudolph, Kato Akira closed the door and turned to look at Day and Night Equally who seemed to be still staring at the TV screen and watching the cartoon intently.

After about a minute, Day and Night Equal shook his ears, turned to look at Kato Akira, and gave a somewhat cunning smile.

She was right, Rudolph the Symbol was indeed here to cause him trouble.

"See, I told you. The Rudolph symbol is the biggest obstacle in your way."

"...Tsk, how did you know?"

"Because I'm a genius. Of course I know what the Rudolph symbol is all about."

He stood up and pulled the reluctant Kato Akira to the side. Day and Night had a smug look on his face, and said happily while clacking his ears:

"She was defeated by you. She was defeated in every aspect. As a horse girl, she is actually very unwilling to accept this. So she always hopes to find your loopholes and flaws. Even if it is a little rough and hasty, she still wants to save her schoolmate from it. Isn't this great?"

"No. Rudolph's symbol is probably just a sign of concern. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen me in the first place."

He lit up the cigarette, then looked at Day and Night Equal who had retreated to the corner with a look of disgust on his face, and Kato Akira grinned.

"What about you? What do you think about the equal division of day and night?"

"Brother, there is something wrong with what you said."

Looking at Kato Akira who seemed to be in a state of trial in front of him, Day and Night said with a wronged look on his face:

"Would you ask yourself which is stronger, your right hand or your left hand? We are one, a community of true destiny. You and I both hope to see the strongest horse girl emerge and gallop on the track. We are a family, how can I say what I think? My thoughts are your thoughts, and your thoughts are my thoughts."

“…Oh, that’s true.”

But that’s all for now.

As long as you have earned enough money to achieve financial freedom, it's time to retire. Who would want to spend all day with a bunch of crazy people like you?

Glancing at Day and Night Equals, who seemed to be pretending to be mature, Kato Akira felt no ripples in his heart. As long as his mind was firm enough, all the interests and all the so-called possibilities would not be able to shake his spirit.

He gave the horse racing girls a beautiful dream, and the horse racing girls gave him countless money. When he made enough money, he would find a high-sounding reason to retire. For example, he would say that his passion had been exhausted and his future was up to him, and then he would just run away.

Horse racing girls always believe in this kind of spiritual things, and their idealistic biological characteristics always make this belief produce results.

Therefore, if I don't say it and they don't understand, how can this dream be shattered?

Even in the later stages, even if my performance was wrong, these kind-hearted horse ladies would only convince me. This kind of thing was emphasized in the trainer's notebook.

Horse girls are delicate, sensitive, and loyal creatures, and their recognition of a person is often lifelong. So for this kind of thing, Kato Akira has full confidence that he can get through it.

"Well, it's good that she's gone. That's it."

Day and Night Equals had no idea what vicious thoughts were running through the man's mind, but instead looked at the door frame and sighed.

"I thought she should have told you earlier, but I didn't expect it to be dragged on to this extent. I'd better watch the anime. At least the anime sometimes really surprised me."

"What do you mean, just leave it at that? Just watch anime? Why are you still here?"

"?"

Day and Night, who were sitting obediently on the sofa, showed a confused expression.

"Where else can I be if I'm not here? Brother, you occasionally say some insane words. Isn't this where I should be?"

"...Get out of here, now, right now."

"I do not want!"

"Get out!"

"You can let me go out, but at least ask the teacher for leave. I want to watch the East Sea Emperor's undefeated match in two days!"

"This has been your goal since the beginning, right?! Just tell me the truth and I won't stop you!"

"It's because my brother is such a tsundere and weird person... It hurts!"

"Get out of here!"

He knocked on Day and Night's head, and when she screamed in pain and covered her head, he pushed her out.
