Zongman, working as a teaching assistant in Trasen

"Okay."

He clapped his hands, interrupting the others' confusion. Uozuka Saburo glanced at their faces, nodded, and said:

"No one has any objections, right? It's settled then. The investigation begins tomorrow morning. Guangming and Kitahara will lead the on-campus investigation, while I'll lead the off-campus investigation. Noren, remember to arrive at the school gate early. You'll arrange our itinerary, and we'll cover as many places as possible."

"Yes, I understand!"

"Well, everyone else, pay attention tonight. While we're having dinner, don't stay up too late and delay tomorrow's mission," Brandon instructed. "That's all. Now, everyone, dismissed!"

----------

Although the contact time was short, Uozuka Saburo's decisive and resolute attitude towards work left a deep impression on Kasamatsu's companions. They unconsciously became serious and kept his advice firmly in mind.

Chapter 213 "Inazuma" Commercial Street

After all, Moto Riko has been here for so many years, and even if the teachers and students of Kasamatsu Tresen are dissatisfied, they have become accustomed to this environment of working hard under high pressure.

Although Uozuka Saburo made a very quick and comprehensive plan, he was more humane in comparison. His attitude was not like Riko Moto's, who always had a bad face and found everything wrong. He even played with the horse girls, and easily won the favor of Kasamatsu and the others.

So on the second day, Uozuka Saburo and four other people from outside the school set out from the hotel early in the morning. At the school gate, they met Kasamatsu and others who also strictly abided by the time. Those who should enter the school entered the school, and those who should leave the school left the school. They quickly completed the simple grouping of people.

"So...that."

Ace Noren looked at Uozuka Saburo, who was wearing a black windbreaker and looked like a veteran gangster, and said to him with a little embarrassment: "Thank you for your guidance today, Mr. Uozuka."

"This is it. Please guide me, Miss Noren."

The effects of last night's horsegirl potion had faded a little. Uozuka Saburo, who was at the peak of his appearance, took off his sunglasses and smiled gently at the Norn Ace. "Don't be nervous, and don't worry about the mission. Just treat me as an elder relative and take me around the fun places here in Kasamatsu."

"Okay... okay."

"Ah."

Swallowing his saliva, feeling that the other party's temperament was a little stronger than yesterday, Ace Noren took a deep breath, took out a small notebook full of colorful labels from his pocket, and said to Uozuka Saburo: "Then, please ask Mr. Uozuka..."

"Wait, don't call me teacher, just call me Mr. Uozuka."

"Huh? Oh! I see."

Glancing at his own schoolgirl outfit, he immediately understood what Uozuka Saburo meant. Ace Noren quickly changed the subject and said, "Then Mr. Uozuka, I'll take you around Kasamatsu. I hope you, uh, have fun."

"Okay, thank you, niece~"

"..."

Seeing the other party getting into the role in a second, Ace Noren also relaxed a little, secretly glanced at the records in his little notebook, quickly put it away, and made a secret decision in his heart.

She must break this deadlock on behalf of everyone!

......

......

"Hey! Come and see, come and buy! Delicious carrot balls!"

"Horseshoes! We have horseshoes in all colors, shapes, and materials!"

"Come and check out this treadmill! It can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour! It's a must-have for those who want to challenge their speed limits!"

"Invisible weight! Doesn't affect running training!"

"Abandoned tires from construction vehicles..."

Standing in front of a commercial street called "Inazuma", looking at the items sold in various shops and listening to the unique shouts, Uozuka Saburo was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.

He originally thought that although he was young, he had experienced both the underworld and the white world, the human and the demon world, and could be considered knowledgeable. However, only now did he realize that he was still a little too young.

Goodness me... Even the various shops opened by the Seto Group's seafood specialty merchants to make a living only sell the same kinds of goods as ordinary humans. But here you are, with a completely alien ecosystem that humans have no use for...

Is this the confidence of being the only legitimate orc race?

"Hehe~ How's it going? Pretty shocking, right?"

Ace Noren looked at Uozuka Saburo and proudly puffed out his chest, saying, "This is our Kasamatsu's most unique feature. There's no other place in the country that can compare to it: the horse girl supplies street, 'Inazuma'!! Isn't it amazing~"

"Hmm...it's really impressive."

Uozuka Saburo nodded in response.

The industry related to Ma Musume has always been controlled by a very limited number of people. It is almost like the military industry of the superpowerful country across the Pacific Ocean. It is not open to ordinary people to operate. Therefore, organizations that advocate low profile have never made special contact. Unexpectedly...

"This street was built just five years ago. It seems the Kasamatsu City government obtained a construction plan from the central government," Noren Ace said as they walked. "It's very close to the school, has a wide variety of goods, and is very bustling with people. When students have free time, this is definitely their first choice!"

"That's it, I understand."

Nodding his head in approval, the burly man in black quickly became serious, took out his notebook and began to record group after group of data based on his own observations.

Generally speaking, like his older brother, he doesn't believe in data from social surveys, because humans are complex creatures, and it's impossible to draw real conclusions about many things without spending time and effort on long-term research and investigation. But objectively speaking, they don't have that much time to thoroughly understand their targets one by one before approaching them.

At least not all goals, there should be a priority.

Therefore, at this time, this kind of data, which is not precise but sufficiently general, can give them a general impression, allowing them to be mentally prepared and respond flexibly when the time comes.

"Noren, do you have any good store recommendations on this street? Mainly stores specializing in horsegirl supplies."

"Okay...eh? A specialty store?"

The hot horse girl was slightly stunned, and looked at Uozuka Saburo with a puzzled look on her face and said, "Why do you want to go to the horse girl supplies store? They don't sell human products there."

"I know. I just want to go to these places." Uozuka Saburo waved his hand. "As an 'out-of-town Uma Musume person,' it's perfectly normal for me to do some market research, right?"

"Uh...Oh! Okay, I get it."

The hot girl Ma Musume was not stupid, she just had never brought outsiders shopping before. After being reminded by Uozuka Saburo, she remembered their purpose and then she honestly led the way.

————They are not really here for tourism, but to do research in places where there are many horse girls. How can they not go to those stores that specialize in horse girls?

After adjusting his mindset, Noren Ace, a local tyrant who had spent half his life in Kasamatsu, quickly listed a series of stores and happily started his shopping trip after Uozuka Saburo's adjustments.

And just as she had said before, the prosperity of the "Inazuma" commercial street far exceeded that of other horse girl supplies retail stores that the veteran cadres of the organization had seen. Not only did it sell a wide variety of products, but each category also had a comprehensive range of high, medium and low-end stores, which could almost meet the needs of consumers at all levels.

In terms of pedestrian flow, the situation on this street is even more shocking.

Chapter 214...? (Two in One)

I don’t know if it’s because the reputation of “Japan’s No. 1 Horse Girl Shopping Street” is too famous, but on this ordinary weekend holiday, this street that was specially widened to facilitate the movement of horse girls is still packed with people, making it almost impossible to walk!

Just by hearing the accents, Saburo Uozuka could tell that most of these customers were horse racing girls and trainers who came from all over the country, and the other small half were local horse racing girls who came to shop on the weekend. The combination of the two made up the population density that was comparable to that seen during holidays.

This was not good news for him, because when surrounded by "the same kind" of people, some horse girls who were in a relaxed state could easily use much greater force than usual. If a human body tried to force its way through them, it would be easy to be "accidentally injured" for no apparent reason.

But...only in this state can the collected data be more reliable!

Whether it's the task assigned to the acting chairman or to further strengthen the understanding of the horse girl race, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - he must seize it!

This is what Saburo Uozuka, whose face was deformed by the squeezing, thought.

......

......

"Ha ha......"

"Huha~ It's finally out!"

Sitting on a bench under the green trees, Uozuka Saburo leaned back and breathed deeply, while Noren Ace stretched out his arms and sighed contentedly, "It's so comfortable~ It turns out that if I don't come for such exciting shopping once a month, I'll feel like something is missing~"

"Ha...it's quite exciting."

It was just a bit too exciting... He just had hallucinations and thought he was back in the training ground where the trainees fought each other a few years ago.

I'll have to be careful around horsegirls next time... These stinky girls were so angry that they didn't hold back at all. One elbow swung out like a fucking steel pipe, and it blew out his stress response! I almost managed to hold back and not kill him.

Lifting up the corner of his clothes and glancing at his bruised waist, Uozuka Saburo silently engraved this tragic experience in his heart, and with difficulty took out the small notebook filled with words to check it.

They had just visited a total of seven horse girl supplies stores, which basically covered all the popular store types on this commercial street. They also collected a lot of useful information from the horse girls discussing in the stores. It would be helpful to organize it now to help formulate the next plan.

"Hehe~ You actually bought it for me...ah!"

Ace Norn was looking at his trophy with satisfaction. Just as he was about to take out his phone to take a series of photos to post on his social media, he suddenly came to his senses and remembered his work for the day. He turned around awkwardly and said, "Um, um... Mr. Uozuka? Are you okay? Are you okay?"

"Do I look okay?"

Uozuka Saburo, his hat squeezed out of shape, glared at Ace Noren and let out a long sigh. He ignored the behavior of his idiot teammate who ignored his companions because of his shopping urges. He patted the seat next to him and said, "Forget about that. Come here and sit down."

"Um...hi."

Feeling a little uneasy for some reason, Ace Noren put down the bags in his hands, sat down obediently next to Saburo Uozuka and peeked at him.

With those big black sunglasses and that unyielding aura, he really does have a rather unpleasant aura...

After fidgeting a bit, and noticing Uozuka Saburo suddenly falling silent, Ace Noren impatiently asked, "Hey... ahem, um, Mr. Uozuka? What should we do next..."

"Let's find a place to eat, it's already noon."

"Oh...good."

"..."

"...Um, shall we go now?"

"Well, wait a minute."

"Yes......"

Quickly scanning the long string of words he had just memorized, recalling the scene in his mind to confirm that he had not missed any key information, Uozuka Saburo flipped the notebook to the new page and casually asked while picking up a pen, "I just realized that there are a few questions I haven't figured out. Let me hear them and see if you can answer them."

"Well! Please ask!"

Ace Noren breathed a sigh of relief.

"First of all, Kasamatsu's students are mostly from the surrounding area, right? Do you know anything about their family backgrounds?"

"...Huh? Your origin?"

"It's about whether some people come from wealthy or poor families, and are different from others," said Uozuka Saburo, citing several examples.

"Hmm... As far as I know, there shouldn't be any, right?" Noren Ace said uncertainly. "There are a few whose families are relatively poor. For example, Little Kurimao used to be quite poor. When she first entered school, she wore the same dirty tracksuit every day. We even called her Mud Bunny. But there are no poorer or super-rich ones...

"Well, I heard from Oguruma that your family runs a dance studio here in Kasamatsu that's been around for decades. Did you teach her how to dance?"

"Yes, but our house is not a dance studio, it's a dance troupe, okay?"

Ace Noren couldn't help but feel a little proud. He raised his chin slightly and said, "'Amuro Dance Company' is a dance group that has been passed down since the Heian period. It has never been discontinued. They can teach any dance from ancient times to the present, both Chinese and foreign!"

"Oh, I heard that—in that case, you should be one of the richest students in the school?"

"Well, it's all right?"

The hot horse girl recalled for a moment, shrugged, and said, "Although it's a big family, it's just a small local power, not even a consortium. I don't see any respect from my classmates at school, so I just treat them casually."

"I see. So that's why you didn't even consider using your family's influence, and instead planned to overthrow them on your own? Is this the board system?"

"Yeah, that bunch of bastards cough cough cough cough cough!!!"

Unable to catch her breath, the hot horse girl almost choked to death on her own saliva. She bent over and coughed wildly for a while, then raised her head in horror and stammered, "What are you talking about? As an outstanding student of Kasamatsu Tresen, how could I possibly think of bringing down the school leader with the best grades in recent years? You have to be kidding me, hahahahahaha~"

"..."

“Ahaha, ahahaha…”

"..."

“…Alright!!!!”

Even through his sunglasses, Ace Norn could still feel Uozuka Saburo's piercing gaze. He couldn't hold on for more than three seconds before desperately hugging his legs and yelling, "I'm Zeng Ren, I want that bastard of yours to be the agent of my tavern! He keeps arguing with me every day, and I just can't stand it! Oh... Ouch!"

"Speak Mandarin. I don't understand dialect."

"Woooo..."

Holding the back of his head, he glared at Uozuka Saburo with tears in his eyes, but Ace Noren didn't dare to say anything more. He pouted and began his "criminal confession".

...Actually, it's nothing special, or in other words, in Uozuka Saburo's opinion, it's not something worthy of special attention.

Things like not allowing Ma Niang to go out and restricting her freedom, the high-pressure education that makes her feel suffocated every day, and the promotion of competition that destroys the harmonious and friendly atmosphere among students, in the eyes of this uncle who has been subjected to the dark side of society since he was 15 years old, are all just whining.

Moreover, based on his experience and his observation of the words used by Ace Noren when she raised these issues, the fundamental reason for her complaint was nothing more than that this director's drastic reforms affected the interests of many local people.
