Stop being a trainer!

"Rudolph, the same goes for you. You two clearly treasure each other, so this is a good opportunity. The festival is a great place to have a good chat."

"…Yes, Trainer-kun, I will."

"That's it, you two must get along well with each other! Only by talking things out can you make progress. Believe in each other, and you will definitely be the best."

Looking at the two horse girls whose smiles were becoming increasingly forced, Kato Akira stretched out his hand and gave them a thumbs up with a smile on his face.

After confirming that both horse girls were good kids and that there seemed to be no problems, Kato Akira slowly breathed a sigh of relief and unnoticedly headed towards the wooden stage where the shrine maidens were performing.

Amid the bustling festival, two horse girls in light blue yukatas watched Kato Akira go away under the lights. Even after his figure blended into the crowd, they did not look in each other's direction, but just stood there.

Other passers-by were amazed at the beauty of the two horse girls, and some even recognized who they were, and there was even a small commotion. But neither of them cared about it, and just stood there quietly. After a long while, Rudolph spoke softly:

"…Emperor, what do you think Trainer-kun is doing?"

"Do you even need to ask this kind of thing? He must be going to do something he likes, right?"

"It seems that our affairs are not his top priority."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Looking at the president he once respected with some impatience, the Emperor of the East Sea said with great dissatisfaction:

"If it wasn't for what happened between you and me, the trainer wouldn't even come out. He's still at the academy with that Deep Impact guy."

"So? What happened to you recently that made Trainer-kun so worried?"

"It has nothing to do with you, right?"

"If it hadn't affected Trainer-kun's condition, I wouldn't want to ask you any more questions."

Looking down at the East China Sea Emperor who had a ponytail and seemed to be really well-dressed, and even had a pleasant smell of perfume, Emperor Rudolf said calmly:

"But the trainer was very concerned about your condition and even came to ask for my opinion. That's why I did this."

"...After all, do we still have to rely on the president in the end?"

"You are still a junior high school student after all."

“High school students are so amazing?”

"For you, yes."

Looking at the somewhat unyielding blue eyes of the East China Sea Emperor, Rudolf's lavender eyes were full of calmness.

"So, what happened to you?"

Chapter 21 I don’t want to read this, give me someone else’s (Second update!)

Miko have always been regarded as the object of communication with gods.

Every witch is sacred and pure, especially in stage performances.

And in this world, which creature is the purest and most flawless, and closest to the gods?

"…I should have known that."

Looking at the horse girl dancing on the stage, Kato Akira watched the performance numbly. Looking at the people around him cheering, he just felt that their noise had nothing to do with him at all.

How should I put it? Although he really likes horse girls and these pure-hearted elves with horse ears, but if he really wants to get married, he still has to choose someone, right? They don't have ears under their hair, they are all white skull units, and the ears are the real two on the head, right?

At least the shrine maidens and performing professions can be replaced by humans, right? Looking at horse girls all day long, waiting for horse girls all day long, if this continues, it won't be long before Kato Akira doubts whether his cognition has become that of a horse girl. Ah, it's better to say that he has become a horse girl in terms of perception. Kato Akira can see things that people in this world can't see.

For example, the field, those weird things, and those things that look unlucky.

Kato Akira could see that the dark aura and impure things emanating from people were falling away silently and soundlessly as the brown-haired, golden-eyed horse girl on the stage performed her graceful and quiet dance to summon gods.

Isn't there a saying that goes like this? Being free from illness and disaster is a blessing, and things like worshipping gods are things that cling to the corners of people's hearts and actions and begin to erode people's mental state. As long as we dance and sing praises to the gods, we can drive away those black monsters.

Although it was not the miko lady he had imagined, after watching Uma Musume dancing and praying, Kato Akira saw with his own eyes the wonder of this ceremony. Seeing the feeling of those people's spirits being purified, Kato Akira could indeed understand why these people had all kinds of alternative worship and respect for Uma Musume.

The possibility of encountering such a living god is one in a million. Only those who are extremely lucky can give birth to a horse girl. Such a wonderful creature is like a gift from God. How can it be treated as an ordinary thing by people? But here is the problem. Since it is a gift from God, it must be treated with respect. That is to worship and stay away from the horse girl.

Well, after all, I am just an ordinary person, but Kato Akira feels that he has plenty of reasons not to marry Uma Musume.

He is a time traveler, a strong man favored by fate. For the horse girls, he can discover their potential, and even go too far under the favor of fate.

But at the same time, he is also an educator. Since he is an educator, it is impossible for him to have too much affection for his students. If he were to attack horse girls all around him, to be honest, Kato Akira was not sure if he could maintain his sanity.

Rather, when facing Chiaki, the representative of Rudolph, he often felt a little overwhelmed. If he really found another horse girl and could consider horse ears as a possible partner in the future, Kato Akira felt that he would definitely become a scumbag and have a not-so-good ending.

How does that saying go? If you know that drugs are poisonous, then don't try them. There are always some fools who think they can resist the addiction, and in the end no one can escape punishment. Kato Akira thought he was very smart. Since he was sure from the beginning that he couldn't escape from the gentle land of Ma Musume, then he should not have come into contact with this kind of thing from the beginning.

Umamusume is a student, a person you can trust, a friend you can help, and a relative you can trust. But she is not someone you can be infatuated with or a lover with.

As long as he warned himself like this in his heart, Kato Akira felt that his soul was purified.

Okay, don't think about the horse's ears.

Since it was a celebration, there were probably a lot of pretty girls here. I looked pretty good, so I should chat up a few girls and practice my skills.

"This time, we must find someone's ears. We can't let the horse girl lead us. Tragedy like Sunday's tranquility must not happen again."

"I asked her for money but she said it was impossible! She can pay with her body but she won't pay me! Is there such a badass horse girl? "

'Even if I were to pay you back with my flesh, the two pieces of flesh on Zhou Ri Ning Jing's chest wouldn't be enough!'

Of course, I didn't dare to say this in real life. I didn't even dare to say it out loud.

After all, there are strange things like friends. Kato Akira still understands what it means to speak out. If Zhou Ri Ning Jing knew about it, I'm afraid the rare horse racing girl murder case in human history would happen again.

After coughing twice and tidying up his appearance, Kato Akira walked around in the celebration, looking for his prey. Then he soon found a figure in the crowd.

A figure looking around, seemingly a little confused.

He was wearing a light green yukata and a cute little bowler hat on his head. He didn't have a horsegirl tail. He must be a high school or college student looking for someone.

Kato Akira walked forward and asked very gently:

"Excuse me, young lady, is there anything I can help you with? If it's convenient, we might as well--"

"Eh? Trainer Kato? Why are you here?"

"..."

"..."

Damn, Junchuan Reins, why is it you?

Looking at the green eyes in front of him that seemed a little confused, Kato Akira cursed in his heart.

You're just a good horse girl, why are you pretending to be a human to catch a guy?

Looking at the man wearing a small hat, looking at him with some surprise, and then the expression on his face changing quickly, Kato Akira's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Ah, sir, I'd certainly love to join you in this celebration. Let's go together."

"No, thanks. Bye."

"Oh, why are you being so polite to me? I didn't expect that Mr. Kato Akira, the famous man in our academy, had decided to strike up a conversation on the street. I just happened to run into him. This is really my blessing."

The expression on Junchuan's face changed to surprise and disbelief, as if he saw the surprise of a rabbit hitting a tree by itself. And watching all this, Kato Akira suddenly felt a stomachache.

Chapter 22: Walking with Others (Questionable) (Third update!)

Even though it was already night, the celebration was still extremely lively.

It can be seen that the local merchants have really worked hard for the celebration. Not only is there a large stage performance by the witches, there is even a special large bonfire and an array of vendors selling goods in a circle on the side.

Looking around, it even felt like there were a lot of people. Just a rough estimate, there were probably thousands of people watching this unique celebration ceremony. I heard that not far away there was also a ceremony where they tied the statue of the deity with flower ropes and sent it to the flames to burn, praying for happiness in the next year.

Outside the small temple, several horse girls who came to apply for the job were wearing beautiful shrine maiden costumes, constantly handing out fortune sticks to the pilgrims, and then letting them interpret their own destiny. After all, it has come to this era, and horse girls are walking with people as children of God. This kind of religious atmosphere has become a part of daily life.

This is also why Umamusume is the best entertainment. The children of the gods indulge in the race and release their nature. This behavior is accompanied by singing, dancing and performances. It can be called a ritual.

The entire competition might be a religious ceremony to pay respect and celebrate the three goddesses or higher gods. It's just that the entertainment is so strong that people may forget the strong religious nature and possibilities contained in it.

In this world, people who live and walk with Umamusume are often envied or even hated by others. This is because it means that they are often chosen by the elves, and such people will most likely get a happy ending. Even if they are already terminally ill and have entered the final stage, they will definitely be able to see the ending that they are relieved of.

But there are always some weird and outliers in this world. Trainers like Kato Akira, who are surrounded by countless horse girls, can be regarded as priests and are respected in society. With high income and good conditions, they can even marry trainers - it is rare that they do not marry horse girls, but it is not impossible - being able to marry such a person is a blessing for women in this era.

Of course, it goes without saying that there is a sense of crisis. The pursuit of love by horse girls is often passionate and tough, and they will even use the most intuitive means to express their love. Human women who are enemies of horse girls are often unable to compete with horse girls. After all, once a horse girl falls in love, it will be long-lasting and continuous. It is almost unheard of that a horse girl divorces a human, and it is even more unheard of that a horse girl has a disagreement with her husband.

Even if there are, most of them are the kind of quarrels between husband and wife. In other words, people in this world are actually very tolerant of marrying a horse girl.

But Kato Akira didn't want to.

Especially when looking at Junchuan Reins smiling beside him, Kato Akira felt even more uneasy.

"Oh? Haha, Mr. Kato seems a little nervous. But I don't think it's necessary. We are just here to enjoy this celebration, right?"

"Yes. You're right."

"Now is the time when the children have gone home, and Mr. Kato seems to be in training. I didn't expect Mr. Kato to come here to chat up with me. It's really beyond my expectation."

"..."

"So? Did you choose me in the end? This is really unexpected. I didn't expect that Mr. Kato would fall in love with a girl like me at first sight—"

"Is it the horse girl?"

With a light "pop" sound, Kato Akira felt as if something had hit him on the back.

But as he looked at the smiling Junchuan's reins in doubt, Kato Akira couldn't find the ponytail swaying behind her.

Damn, she is indeed the most hidden horse girl in the academy, a hidden strongman who can even arrest the fleeing Condor. According to the popular science of the barrage master, Condor is a very powerful horse girl. In other words, Junchuan Reins, who can arrest Condor, is also a very powerful horse girl.

So what is her name? Cuckold?

"Mr. Kato, do you know that people like us can sense when other people have bad thoughts?"

"…You must be kidding, right?"

"Hehe, do you want to guess?"

Looking at the smiling Junchuan Rein, Kato Akira always felt a little nervous when walking beside him.

But in the final analysis, this kind of thing was caused by the threat I made to her in a desperate situation.

This matter was ultimately his own problem. He was now a trainer, and even if it was for the sake of the relationship between employees, after thinking about it, Kato Akira decided to take the initiative to show some goodwill.

Looking at Shunkawa Rein, who was walking beside him in a light green yukata, Kato Akira took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the woman beside him who still looked very young.

"Well, it was my fault for threatening you. I'm really sorry. But I wasn't a trainer at the time, so—"

"Oh, Mr. Kato, you really thought I was angry about that?"

Looking at Kato Akira who bowed deeply to express his apology, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on Junchuan Reins' face.

"If I really am such a petty-minded woman, then you should have been given a hard time when I took office as the chairman. You know that."

"Eh? I'm not being bullied? Why am I not included in every team building meeting?"

"…Do you know what your reputation is among the trainers of the same period and the previous period? Do you need me to tell you?"

"No, that's not necessary."

It does feel like it's not very good.

Looking at Junchuan Reins, whose smile seemed to have turned a little dark, Kato Akira shuddered and waved his hands repeatedly.

However, looking at the lively crowds passing by and the shops that seemed to be full of life, Kato Akira couldn't help but whispered:

"Then why are you always angry?"

"right here."

"what?"

"It's because you, Mr. Kato, have always thought that I'm a stingy and vindictive woman that I'm angry."

"It's Uma Musume—"

'Snapped'

I don't know what hit me again, but I still didn't see any shadow of anything.
