Zongman, working as a teaching assistant in Trasen

No, even if she was given ten more skewers of meatballs, she would definitely be able to finish at least four bowls of rice, or even more.

...The minimum cannot be less than three bowls!

The two "guardians" Uozuka Saburo and Kitahara Jo thought helplessly and chose to remain silent to help maintain Oguruma's false cute image in front of her friends...if she even had that thing.

"Ah, it's okay, Oguruma? We'll go to a nearby restaurant controlled by the Mejiro family for lunch later. They have three-colored meatballs there too—I guarantee they'll taste just like the ones at the stalls near Kasamatsu Racecourse. You can eat as much as you want!"

"Really? Thank you so much, Guangming!!"

"Phew~ Thank you so much, Mejiro-san, you are truly my savior."

"No, no, I usually train with a personal trainer and don't have many friends around me. I envy you, Miss Fujimasa, for your friendship with Oguruma. It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

"Mejiro-san!"

"Ms. Fujimasa!"

"...So, Big Sister means we can go eat for free, Boss Uozuka?"

"...You are truly hopeless."

Chapter 204: Ordinary

Seeing that Zhen Qiyi, faced with such a touching scene, not only did not go forward to help consolidate Mejiro Mitsuaki's better strategy, but instead came to him to ask when dinner would be served, Uozuka Saburo deeply doubted his decision last night:

Is it really necessary to have as an assistant a girl who obviously has a brain but is too lazy to use it, who just lies there and waits for death with an attitude of "you think and I execute"?

He doesn't want to have a little brother around who only asks "Brother, what should we do now"!

----------

There is no need to elaborate on the process of "feeding" the horse girls. All you need to know is that this restaurant, which is famous for stockpiling ingredients so that it can continue operating for three days without supply, will have its first empty warehouse two hours later. This will tell you that this must have been a high-end game with a lot of food and wine.

Leading a few pregnant horse girls strolling leisurely down the street, Kitahara Jō looked in amazement at Uozuka Saburo, whose belly was also slightly bulging. After a long silence, he sighed, "Are all the teachers at the Central School...freaks like you, brother? You could even keep up with Oguruma's eating speed!"

"Ahem, of course not!" Uozuka Saburo said proudly, "Even in the center...hiccup...I am still the foremost light of humanity!"

“…Brother, I admire you!”

Kitahara Jang bowed exaggeratedly.

"By the way, Uozuka-san, what are your plans next? Are you going back to Kasamatsu Racecourse to watch the race?"

"No, the afternoon session will be a normal grass court match. It doesn't mean much to me."

Taking off his hat and tucking it into his pocket, he smoothed his hair back in a stylish slick. Uozuka Saburo shook his head and said, "The reason I'm interested in Kasamatsu's dirt track is because the level of the competitions here is quite high, but the athletes are mostly good at grass, and few can adapt to dirt. If I were to choose a dirt track debut venue for those students who are seriously lacking in certain subjects, this would undoubtedly be the best place."

"Haha~ That's true. Not only can they avoid the fierce competition at the mud bounty tournaments, but they can also earn a proper qualifying spot, practically guaranteeing them a good championship spot."

Shaking his head, Kitahara Ryou sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Brother, you've put so much effort into a group of horse girls who are not your own responsibility. I really admire you."

"Haha~ So what if I'm not responsible? I'm still their teacher and I'm responsible for their future."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Looking at Uozuka Saburo's face, which was fierce but not scary, Kitahara Jang seemed to see a dazzling light coming out of it. It was so sharp that he could hardly look directly at the light, and felt a little ashamed of himself.

Yes... From the moment he chose Ogurume, it was clear that he himself was not a truly benevolent horse girl trainer.

He will ignore those horse girls who don't like him, he will feel pity for those horse girls who have tragic lives, he will admire other stronger horse girls, but apart from his own horse girl, he will never show more concern to others.

The reason for this is that he sees himself more as a "trainer" rather than a "teacher". His work and his ideals have nothing to do with concepts like teaching and educating people - at most, he is a bit like a private tutor, a master and an apprentice, a coach and a student, rather than an educator in the usual sense.

But, therein lies the contradiction: as guardians of a group of minors who still need to attend classes, study and take exams, trainers should nominally be the teachers of these girls, serious educators, rather than idol agents who can be handled entirely according to the business model!

He doesn't think of himself as a teacher from the bottom of his heart, but he cannot deny the fact that he has become an educator. He often unconsciously looks at Ma Niang's growth and examines his own behavior from this identity.

Was what he did right or wrong?

This question was destined to remain unanswered. Even though Kitahara Jo was now moved by Uozuka Saburo's philosophy, he would not come to his own conclusion so easily. However, this did not prevent him from wanting to further explore the answer through the other party.

"So, you don't have anywhere to go for the time being?"

"Well, that's about it. We plan to just wander around and relax a bit before continuing our journey."

"That's way too boring! Stay focused on your work and don't slack off, Uozuka-san!"

"...Do you have any good suggestions?"

Uozuka Saburo asked, and Kitahara Joi smiled and nodded quickly.

"Mr. Central Tresen's special envoy, are you interested in following me to Kasamatsu Tresen Academy for a visit and guidance?"

----------

“Mmmmm! Mmmmm!!”

"Okay, okay, I know you're anxious, but could you please stop being so hasty? You're about to tear my sleeves!!!"

With Oguri Hat pulling his sleeve as he hurried ahead, Fujimasa looked helplessly at Uozuka Saburo who was also being pulled forward beside him and said, "Mr. Uozuka! Aren't you Oguri Hat's current trainer? Hurry and think of a solution! If we accidentally fall, this thing will really drag us all the way to the school and embarrass us!!"

"I know, but what can I do?"

Uozuka Saburo's face was grim as he tried to defend himself in vain, gritting his teeth as he said, "I'm just a! Frail! Sickly! Incapable of resistance... a training instructor!"

"You put... cough!"

The hot-tempered horsegirl instinctively wanted to curse, but halfway through her words, she suddenly remembered that the other person was theoretically her benefactor and couldn't open her mouth casually. She suddenly turned around and shouted at the two horsegirls and one human who were chatting happily behind her: "Hey! You guys, stop laughing at me! Hurry up and come over here to help stop this rampaging beast!?"

"Hey! Look at what you're saying. How could we possibly be that capable?"

Maybe it was because he was bored or because he felt disillusioned after observing his "idol" up close, but Zhen Qiyi, who was so reserved and afraid to move forward three hours ago, now completely let himself go and regained the sharp tongue he had when facing Oguruma two days ago. He didn't treat Fujimasa March as an outsider at all and acted in a nonchalant manner.

"Even you, a powerful warrior who once defeated the 'Ashima no Monster', couldn't stop her. How can we, two ordinary ponygirls and local trainers, stop her?"

"At least, we have to be the undefeated triple crown horse girl that Rudolph symbolizes, right?"

Chapter 205 Uninvited

This statement actually inadvertently fits the facts. If we really talk about pure head-on confrontation, the only one in Japan's Tresin Academy who can definitely beat Ogururi is Rudolph, the symbol of a horse girl. The others are either easily knocked over by Ogururi, or use skills to end in a draw. There are very few who are superior to her in both strength and skills.

But Fujimasa March didn't know? Or perhaps, apart from Uozuka Saburo, who had personally experienced the difference in power between the two, even the well-informed Mejiro Kouyou couldn't be sure of such a thing, so they completely took Qi Yizi's words as a sarcastic remark.

This was a bombshell to his nature. How could Fujimasa, who would kick a tree or glare at anyone for no reason, resist? The fact that he didn't just kick him outright was a testament to the fruitful results of his self-cultivation in recent years.

"Just wait, when we get there, I'll give you a lesson!"

"Ahaha~ Come on if you're capable, huh? I'd love to test your strength, old senior!"

"You!? Humph! Just grit your teeth and wait!"

Just like that, the three of them were pulling as hard as they could in the front like a donkey cart, and the three of them were chatting happily in the back like old farmers sowing seeds. They soon arrived at Kasamatsu Tresen Academy in such a strange scene.

Along the way, Ogurimao never stopped talking - mainly introducing to Uozuka Saburo the school she had missed for a long time and was proud of - from how her friendly classmates gave her an ultra-luxurious single room when she first enrolled, to how the villagers around the school doted on her "good appetite", never refused her dining needs, and often recommended each other's shops to each other, saying that the food was much better than their own, which was enough to show how close the neighbors were here.

"Ms. Fujimasa, did this happen back then?" Uozuka Saburo turned around and asked curiously, "Also, aren't all the student dormitories at Kasamatsu Tressen four-person rooms? Where's the 'spacious and luxurious single room' thing?"

"...I don't know. I usually focus on training and don't pay much attention to these little things."

Resigned to his fate, Fujimasa broke into a run, trying to keep up with Oguruma to save his sleeve. He shook his head and said with a strange expression, "It's just that the merchants I've met... don't seem so united. We were having a good meal together before, and then our sworn enemy from next door showed up to argue, shouting things like, 'I'm going to get my revenge for the time you cheated me when Oguruma was here.'"

"...Okay, I understand."

Uozuka Saburo, who also accepted his fate and started running, nodded helplessly.

It seems that it's not that Kasamatsu is a shabby place, but that this silly and cute guy, Oguruma, has single-handedly made Kasamatsu look like a shabby place—if you dare to mess with me, I'll bring Oguruma to your store next time! This is a "good neighborly" approach.

In a sense, it seems like the relationship is pretty good?

"Here! The old man who used to be in charge of the gardening and pruning in various parts of the school was very enthusiastic. He would always come up to me from a distance and ask if I had eaten enough! And here, the guy who was hired by the school to maintain the walls always liked to tell me jokes, saying things like, 'Did someone eat this gap?' Haha ~ How could that be possible? Who would have the time to eat bricks coated in chocolate? ~"

Recalling the past years, we were young students in the prime of life. Although we are still in our prime now, memories will always be more beautiful!

Especially when looking at the more neatly trimmed flowers and the more beautifully painted walls, but the missing familiar figures, Xiao Limao's longing for the old days became stronger and stronger. She completely abandoned her usual silly and dumb personality, and muttered like an old woman wherever she went.

"And that security guard at the gate! That uncle is really super nice. He's taken care of me so many times... uh, huh?"

The mumbling stopped abruptly, and she stretched out a finger and hung it blankly in the air, but the warm little pavilion with a small yellow light on in her memory was no longer there. Ash-haired horse girl was a little at a loss for a moment, and looked back blankly at Fujimasa March and Kitahara Jo.

"...Ah, the security booth? I remember this one as..."

"Um, I think it was removed a year ago. They replaced the gate with a smarter recognition sensor to facilitate entry and exit management."

Kitahara Joi removed his checkered hat and let the facial recognition system on the railing "see" his face clearly. Once verified, the gate automatically rose. He shrugged and said, "Well, just like this. Quite convenient... However, if an outsider tries to force their way through the railing, or sneaks in after the designated hours, this system will automatically alert the police or record it with a camera. Oguruma, don't come and go as you please, okay?"

“…Okay.”

The reed-haired girl half-drooped her ears and muttered something with a somewhat lost expression.

Seeing this, Uozuka Saburo, who had straightened his cuffs, walked up to her, gently rubbed her head and said nothing. He then took the initiative to walk to the window with the "Visitor Registration" sign, wrote down his contact information, took a record photo without sunglasses, and walked in leisurely.

————The effect of the horse girl potion has not worn off yet. His facial age still looks like he is about 27 or 28 years old, which is quite different from his actual age. He is not afraid of leaving behind any video footage.

Speaking of which, although the horse girl potion had mutated in him after being tossed around by Alisako, the attenuation state was surprisingly stable, gradually fading according to the schedule she predicted, and no secondary mutation occurred.

Moreover, he could also feel that if he continued to decline at this rate, he might be able to maintain about half the increase in strength of an adult without any sequelae - this was already a huge increase for a veteran employee of the organization who was proficient in various fighting techniques!

Before I left, I deliberately ignored Elissa for a while, wanting her to reflect on herself... Considering the effect of this potion, I should make peace with her and reconcile with her after I return.

Uozuka Saburo thought silently in his heart.

Together with Kitahara Jang, he helped three off-campus horse girls complete facial recognition registration. After they all entered the campus, the burly man in black was about to take a look at the Kasamatsu Tresen campus map inserted on the side of the road when he suddenly found a familiar figure appearing in front of him.

"Hello, are you Mr. Uozuka Saburo from Central Tresen Academy?"

"...Yeah, I am."

Chapter 206: No Exaggeration, No Blame

A cool, yet not offensive, quality emanated from her bright green eyes. Instead, she inexplicably exuded a calm demeanor. The horsegirl named Kokoyasu politely addressed her, "Thank you for visiting Kasamatsu Tresen Academy, Mr. Uozuka. Chairman Ben has been waiting for you. Please follow me to the chairman's office, where we will extend a warm welcome."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop calling her the chairman. Can I just act as her? She's just the 'acting' chairman."

Before Uozuka Saburo could reply, Kitahara Jō spoke up like a scoundrel, his face sulking with displeasure. "Besides, Uozuka-sensei contacted me and this Fujimasa-san first to be his guides. I didn't even make an appointment with him beforehand. We're just calling him in and then dismissing him like that. Isn't that really disrespectful to Uozuka-sensei?"

"Tsk, Kitahara Jang."

Xiao Kekang frowned, his cold eyes revealing disdain and irritation, but he was well-mannered and didn't put it into words or actions. Instead, he politely bowed to Uozuka Saburo and said seriously, "Please forgive our negligence on this matter. Kasamatsu Tresen Academy and Central Tresen don't communicate much, and information is somewhat blocked. The chairman only received the official notice from Central Academy after watching my match this morning. Then she noticed you entering the academy area and immediately asked me to come and greet you. She is personally coordinating the welcome ceremony for you. You only need to go to the chairman's office to see that what I said is true."

"Well......"

Seeing that the other party's words were flawless, Kitahara Jō really wanted to refute her and said that she must have made preparations long ago, just waiting for Uozuka Saburo to come and invite him over, but he couldn't find a breakthrough point to expose this "conspiracy". He could only look at this beautiful little pony girl with a blushing face and said nothing.

It was clearly me who started it all... Whether it was taking up my position at Kasamatsu Tressen or welcoming Uozuka Saburo, it was clearly...

"Cough um."

Seeing Kitahara Jang speechless, Uozuka Saburo could only cough lightly, nodded, and took over the other party's conversation: "Okay, I will go to the chairman's office to meet with the agent."

"Okay, without further ado, please come this way..."

"But! I want to take my guide with me to meet her, is that okay?"

"Eh?"

Seeing Uozuka Saburo raising his hand and pointing at him, Kitahara Jang was stunned at first, then wanted to ask something in surprise, but was stopped by the other party with a look.

Xiao Kekang hadn't expected that Uozuka Saburo wouldn't mention his fellow horsegirls, but instead would have Kitahara Jō, a trainer he'd only known for a few hours, accompany him. A look of surprise crossed his face, but he quickly regained his composure, nodded, and said, "No problem. The chairman had already planned to talk to him, so it's a good opportunity for us to go together."

"Huh? What could this agent possibly want from me? I don't..."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."

"...I'm just giving you a favor, Brother Yuzhong. It's definitely not my intention to look for her..."

Suppressing Kitahara Jo's tsundere attitude that was not suitable for his age, gender or appearance, Uozuka Saburo first gave a look to Mejiro Mitsuaki and Maki, telling them to be patient and follow Oguruma and the others around the school. Then he comforted Oguruma and assured her that he would definitely come back safely, and then he left the entrance area in the eyes of all the horse girls, saying, "The hero will never come back."

————Of course, except for the completely bewildered Fujimasa March.

"......? This agent, actually, isn't that scary."

Seeing the tense atmosphere among the ponygirls, Fujimasa March, feeling a bit out of place, thought for a moment and decided to speak well of his acting chairperson. "She's actually quite nice, and not as strict as Trainer Kitahara makes her out to be... Look, on weekends like today, we can come and go as we please, and we just need to be back in the dorms before 10 p.m. That's pretty normal, right?"

"But... Kitahara said..."

"Okay, little chestnut hat, stop worrying about it."
