The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course, I saw it clearly! The president is dating Trainer-san! And it seems like they've known each other for a long time!"

The Emperor didn't tell the Saint King about Rudolph's "past life lover" story. She felt the Saint King wouldn't believe it, so she told him the result. She nodded and said, "Trainer Kitano cried so hard when he left! And the President cried too. There must be something fishy going on between them!"

"But... why would that guy and the president..."

The Saint King's aura was also puzzling. In her memory, Kitano and Rudolph had only known each other for a month. With only a few times spent alone together, with Rudolph's arrogant personality, was it reasonable to fall in love with him?

Wait? It feels like we've known each other for a long time?

Suddenly, the Holy King seemed to have grasped a blind spot and thought of a possibility.

Mi Yu and Bourbon...they both have past memories with that guy. Could it be that the president too?

And... this guy hit it off with the president right away. Have they known each other for a long time?

Could it be that... that guy... actually remembers? Remembers us?

At the thought of this possibility, Saint King Halo suddenly woke up - she finally understood! She understood why Kitano had been so persistent in inviting her to join the team and why he had taken such good care of everyone on the team...

It turned out that he remembered everything. He remembered everything about all of their pasts before they even remembered it!

So, this guy has gathered such a large team now... Could it be that he wants to -

When thinking of this possibility, Saint King Halo's expression finally changed. At this moment, a strange expression appeared on Saint King's face, which made the emperor feel a little creepy when he looked at her - just like the feeling when she accidentally knocked over the flower bed of the Student Union and the angry sister stared at her.

"Sheng Wang classmate? Are you okay?"

"I'm very good."

However, the Saint King's expression was only out of control for a moment before quickly returning to normal. She reached out and gently rubbed the Emperor's head, then smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Mr. Emperor. I'll treat you to a honey drink later."

"Huh? Really?!"

"Really?" The Holy King also maintained a gentle smile, but at this moment, her heart was thinking about Kitano who was in the team room far away.

Well, you guy, you actually dared to hide such a big thing from me, and you even had such dirty thoughts.

Thanks to you, I have now figured out how to punish you, dear Mr. Kitano——

Let me help you realize your dream. I believe that you will thank me in the future. The Holy King thought so in her heart. Now she knew exactly how to punish Beiye for leaving without saying goodbye and even knowing all this but not actively looking for her!

Of course, the Holy King has not forgotten Rudolph. Although she has wanted to punish Kitano, the Holy King still intends to continue her persistence towards Rudolph even though she is the president.

Punishment was her and Kitano's own business, but making Kitano sad was another matter.

As for Rudolf...as long as the Holy King is alive, no matter whether she has memories of her past with Kitano or not, she can forget about getting back together!

Chapter 275: Sakura Jinwang's Debut Match

For Ryuichi Kitano, although this month passed quickly, it brought about earth-shaking changes in his life, and more importantly, it was reflected in the interpersonal relationships around him.

First of all, after "breaking up" with Rudolph, the interaction between Kitano and the members of the student council declined rapidly in a straight line. Even Qi Cao and Narita Shirahito rarely met him. Even if they ran into him a few times occasionally, the two girls would just look at him most of the time, wanting to ask something, but eventually shut their mouths embarrassedly.

Kitano had anticipated this. After her "breakup" with Rudolph, Chicao and Bairen must have noticed their president's strange mood. Although Kitano hadn't seen Rudolph since then, he had heard about her recent emotional issues.

I heard that since that day, Rudolph has focused most of his attention on work, and turned into a workaholic overnight, leaving the two vice presidents, Qi Cao and Bai Ren, with nothing to do.

Although Kitano wanted to do something about Rudolph's huge change... he was very depressed after the "breakup" and didn't know how to repair his relationship with Rudolph, so he finally chose to give up.

Everything was made very clear at the time, and it’s better this way now… Let’s not cause Rudolph any more trouble.

But even so, Kitano still fell into a seemingly endless depression for a long time. Fortunately, the horse racing girls around him who cared about him helped Kitano out of this depression within a month.

There was naturally good news within the team. For example, Aldan was discharged smoothly from the hospital a few days after Kitano and Rudolph broke up. What made Kitano happy was that after Aldan was discharged from the hospital this time, his spirits were better than ever.

And Aldan naturally noticed Kitano's depressed mood. After learning from the Holy King what happened after her hospitalization, Aldan seemed extremely surprised... After that, Aldan almost stayed by Kitano's side.

In fact, it's not just Aldan. All the horse racing girls in the entire team have done their best to comfort Kitano during the month when he was depressed. Although everyone's way of expressing it is different, they are all trying their best to help Kitano out of the predicament.

For example, Bourbon and Miyu would often give Kitano massages. Although their techniques were immature, the advantage was that Kitano didn't need to move at all. Although Bourbon's breasts would occasionally rub against Kitano's back, and Miyu would often sit on Kitano's thighs involuntarily, they were all trying their best to make Kitano relax.

Cao Shangfei would also come to give Kitano a massage, but she preferred to massage Kitano's eyes and shoulders. During the massage, Cao Shangfei occasionally mentioned a few special things about Zhou.

This made Kitano feel helpless. He just relaxed for a moment, but Ms. Kusa still became familiar with Special Week uncontrollably... However, from Kusagami Hi's words, Special Week seemed to have unexpectedly not become familiar with Suzuka. Instead, she was concentrating on building a good relationship with Kusagami Hi.

This also surprised Kitano a little, but then he thought, this should be a good thing for Cao Shangfei, right? However, Kitano felt that when Cao Shangfei mentioned the special week, his tone didn't contain much joy, but rather more helplessness... and a little bit of annoyance?

Kitano didn't ask further about this. He really wanted to think he was wrong. After all, it was hard for him to imagine how, with Te Bie Zhou's personality, he could have offended Cao Shangfei. But Cao Shangfei didn't say much about this, so Kitano didn't dare to ask any more.

Of course, in addition to these people, Qingyun Tiankong will also invite Kitano to go fishing with her. Although she doesn't say anything during the process, just being so calm is enough to relax her mind.

But... Qingyun Tiankong seemed to feel a little restrained when he was alone with him. He always went to the grass and closed his eyes to wait.

Kitano also realized belatedly that since Qingyun Tiankong joined the team, he seemed to have indeed neglected this horse girl who had contributed a lot to the team. For this reason, he interacted with Qingyun Tiankong as much as possible while fishing.

Fortunately, although Qingyun Tiankong was a little nervous at first, their relationship gradually improved. Qingyun Tiankong smiled at Kitano more often and talked to him more often. Kitano felt that their relationship was improving.

The only consequence was that their fish in the buckets were much less. Several times, Qingyun Tiankong's fishing rod was so shaken by the fish that it nearly broke the line, but Qingyun Tiankong was so engrossed in chatting with Kitano that he was forced to change the fishing line several times.

The girls' behavior also made Kitano realize that the fact that he had "broken up" was probably known to everyone in the team... Although they probably didn't know that the person was the symbol of Ludo, the concern they showed still successfully helped Kitano break free from his lost mood.

After all... everyone cares about him so much and is trying their best to comfort him. If he doesn't cheer up, he would be an unqualified trainer.

During this period, if there was anything that bothered Kitano more than breaking up with Rudolph...there was, and the problem lay with one of his closest horse girls - Holy King Halo.

During this period, the Holy King had been more gentle to him than ever before, which made Kitano feel strangely uneasy.

Although he had already gotten used to the gentleness displayed by the Holy King when he knew that the Holy King also had some memories of the past - but since a certain day, the care that the Holy King Halo gave to Kitano could be said to be meticulous.

That would be fine, Kitano would just think that this was the Holy King's compensation for his past behavior... But, there were some things that Kitano found incredible.

For example, when Bourbon and Mi Yu were giving him a massage, the Holy King's Halo would sometimes be there, but she would only glance at them once or twice at most. Not only did she not stop them, but she also smiled and served them tea and water, as if she supported them in doing so.

Not only that, when Aldan was tidying up Kitano's house, when Good Opera was working with Kitano, and even when the Emperor of the East China Sea was pestering him, the Holy King Halo did not have any extra reaction and just watched.

He even had a very kind smile on his face, and when he saw this scene, he would say with a smile: "Have fun, but don't cause him any trouble."

This also led to everyone on the team having an unusually good relationship with the Saint King's aura during this period. Even Bourbon and Mi Yu, who were initially a bit skeptical about this, had come to respect the Saint King immensely after such a long period of time.

However, the relationship with the Holy King was good, but Bei Ye was panicking. What on earth was this young lady thinking? What was she planning to do?

Kitano had asked about this before, but Saint King Halo always wore a kind smile and said to Kitano softly, "I'm the captain of the team, right? And I'm a top-notch horse girl. Of course, I have to consider everyone's interpersonal relationships within the team."

As he spoke, the Holy King still looked at Kitano with a smile, and asked word by word, "Isn't this what you expected to see? Hmm?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you recruit a few more kids into the team. I can take care of them all—"

——So said the Holy King's aura, but as soon as he said this, Kitano felt that he couldn't recruit any new horse girls to the team for at least a year. Otherwise, he was most worried that the Holy King might be the first to do something so terrifying that he would reopen the door.

Besides that, a month passed, and Kitano finally faced the first challenging problem since he joined Tresen Academy - Sakura Shinou's debut match.

As the latest Umamusume to join Kitano's team, she is the first member to embark on her official Umamusume journey. Kitano has spent most of his energy this month on Sakura Shinou.

Although Kitano did not think that the 1200-meter short-distance debut race would be difficult for Sakura Jinou, Kitano, who was determined to help everyone break through this time, would never allow any mistakes in the game due to his own negligence.

In order to encourage Sakura Shinou to win the first game, this time, Kitano even rushed to get Sakura Shinou's winning suit. He even paid for Sakura Shinou to wear the winning suit before his debut game without the help of his mother who had the Holy King Halo.

As a result, all his newly earned salary was gone. Moreover, this expense was not covered by Tresen College.

It seems that he will not be able to go to the izakaya for the time being... However, seeing Sakura Jinwang's happy expression when he received the winning suit, he felt it was worth it.

The day of the debut competition arrived as scheduled. On this day, Kitano, as a trainer, followed Sakura Shinou into the racecourse's lounge. At this moment, facing Sakura Shinou's choice, Kitano was somewhat surprised and asked, "Wearing the final suit? Is this necessary?"

"Of course!" At this moment, Sakura Shin-oh, wearing his final uniform in the lounge, his cherry blossom eyes gleaming with an extremely solemn brilliance, immediately said: "This final uniform is a testament to the bond between you and me, Trainer-san! With this final uniform, I will definitely be able to take the lead!"

"With this victory suit on, it's as if you, Trainer-san, are on the field with me. It makes me feel endless power!"

"It's not that exaggerated...but if you like it, it's fine."

Kitano didn't insist on this point. His only worry was that if Sakura Shinou went on stage wearing the winning suit, it would easily arouse the jealousy of other horse girls - such a thing had happened when Kitano was in charge of the opera.

When Kitano took over Good Opera, neither he nor Good Opera could support the production of the high-priced decisive suit. Good Opera had originally planned to choose the universal decisive suit of Tresen College.

But it was Kitano who directly asked the chairman for several months' salary, so that Good Opera could wear the winning uniform in a competition before the Gaoyue Sho - of course, he also took care of the chairman's several acres of carrot fields for several months afterwards.

In that competition, Good Opera was the only horse girl wearing the winning uniform. Naturally, Good Opera's dazzling and unrestrained appearance also aroused the jealousy of some horse girls... Of course, this is all a story for later.

Kitano is not worried about Sakura Shinwang's situation. After all, Sakura Shinwang can not only run first, but also run away. This time, the tactic Kitano gave Sakura Shinwang was the escape horse.

This guy who only knows how to rush forward without thinking doesn't have so many troubles... It's a blessing in disguise, right? Kitano thought so, but still encouraged Sakura Jinwang and said, "Then, this time, let's win the debut competition directly. Jinwang, let's start with the easy one, the 1200 meters that you are good at!"

"We will run more events like this later. This way, you will be running the full distance of 2400 and 3600 meters. Are you confident of winning this time?"

"Of course! At this moment, I'm one with Trainer-san!"

Sakura Shin-oh also puffed out his chest and answered with confidence: "This time, Sakura Shin-oh will live up to everyone's expectations and make a breakthrough! Trainer-san! Please look at me carefully!"

"Well, let's go."

Kitano also patted Jin Wang's shoulder and watched her leave, but he was slow to realize what was going on.

Did Shin-oh just say "also"? Was it a slip of the tongue or was he simply not thinking too much?

For some reason, Kitano felt that Jinou should be the kind of person who wouldn't mind making mistakes, but... when he thought about how he had coached her before, and the horse racing girls around him all recalled some things from the past, he felt a chill down his spine.

Prince Jin...just hoped that she didn't remember it, otherwise...he didn't know how to face her.

Chapter 276: Kitano receives mysterious attention

"We can see that Sakura Shinou, number 8, has also entered the arena. She chose to wear the final uniform for her debut match, and she looks very confident!"

This time, the gate number that Sakura Shinou drew was not so good. There were only eight horse girls in a debut race, and she was assigned to the outermost lane. This was even more disadvantageous for Sakura Shinou, who used the escape horse tactics and had not yet shown the ability to lead in other distances except short distances.

But Sakura Shinou was not afraid of these at all. She wore the winning suit given to her by Kitano with full confidence and walked into the arena with her head held high. After a while, she attracted the attention of the other horse racing girls around her.

Soon, the looks of the other seven horse girls changed from curiosity to envy.

As Kitano said, wearing a championship suit in a debut match is a very conspicuous thing, because strictly speaking, only the GI competition requires every horse girl to wear a championship suit. As for why there is such a rule, Kitano also asked, and the reason was "to please the three goddesses."

Letting the horse girls compete in the highest-standard GI arena, and letting the strongest horse girls wear the most glamorous clothes, will surely attract the attention of even the three goddesses - at least, that's what the horse girls who organize the event say.

Based on Kitano's understanding of the three goddesses, this statement is correct - the three goddesses do watch the competition, and sometimes even give favors to some horse girls with extremely strong willpower during the competition.

But as to whether only those participating in GI events are eligible to receive the attention of the three goddesses... Kitano didn't know, but he didn't think the three goddesses would only focus on GI events. But the colorful winning uniforms are indeed more eye-catching, aren't they?

Because of this reason, the customization of the decisive suit is very expensive, and there are few trainers like Kitano who can directly customize the decisive suit for Sakura Shinou.

Although most central trainers have good salaries, they have to take care of the horse girls and supplement the family expenses. They may also have to take their children out to relax every now and then. It is estimated that they will not be able to save much money in a year.

But not every central trainer can come to a place as good as Tresen Academy - this is why Kitano tried his best to join Tresen Academy even though he didn't want to teach the talented horse girl anymore. The treatment here is really good.

Under such circumstances, there are very few trainers who can dress their horse girls in customized winning suits, and even fewer who can prepare them for their debut competition.

Therefore, the moment Sakura Shinou entered the arena, several horse girls looked at her with envy, and one could not help but sigh, "She's so beautiful... I wish my trainer was that rich."

"Hmm?" When Sakura Shinou heard the horse girl's muttering, he turned around with a very serious expression.

The horse racing girl seemed to have misunderstood and immediately said in a panic, "I, I don't mean anything else! I just envy your winning suit."

"Envious, aren't you? Hehe, this is what my trainer bought for me! It's the best winning suit!"

Seeing someone praising Kitano, Sakura Shinou was very pleased. He puffed out his chest, stood up straight, and said to the horse girl, "But my trainer spent a month's salary to buy this! This means he will have a very hard time in the next month."

"I believe your trainer will do his or her utmost to help you get everything you desire. Although your trainer may not be able to customize a beautiful victory suit for you right now, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to wear the same victory suit as me!"

"We shouldn't blame our trainers out of envy. Instead, we should trust our trainers. Isn't that the most basic thing?"

"Yes, it is."

Sakura Shinou's lecture made the somewhat timid horse racing girl feel so ashamed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

King Jin's preaching also made the other horse girls who had the same mentality feel ashamed. They had already reached the stage of their debut competition, and everyone had a good relationship with their trainers. Some even had the idea of ​​"marrying their trainers in the future."

In this situation, they were actually dissatisfied with their trainer who had done his best, which of course made them feel ashamed. However, this did not prevent them from still envying Sakura Shinou.

"You have a good trainer. I envy you."

"That's right! He's the best trainer in the world!" Upon hearing this, Sakura Jinwang replied happily with his ponytail swaying behind him, "I will trust my trainer unconditionally!"

"Then he should have come to watch your debut match, right?" A horse racing girl asked curiously, "Where is he?"

"Over there!" Sakura Shinou immediately pointed in a direction, and at this moment, everyone's eyes couldn't help but follow Sakura Shinou's line of sight, and soon, they immediately locked onto Kitano Ryuichi's position among the row of horse girls.

After all, Kitano was surrounded by so many horse girls that he stood out clearly in the middle. Soon, those horse girls, along with many others drawn in by Sakura Shinou's actions, immediately locked onto Kitano's figure.

"That person...seems familiar?"

Soon, one of the horse girls thought Kitano looked familiar, and soon after, another horse girl next to her patted her shoulder and immediately said excitedly: "Idiot! Have you lost your memory? This person is Kitano Ryuichi!"

"Eh? Kitano Ryuichi?! Is that the Kitano Ryuichi from Tresen Academy?!"

And this one sentence caused a thousand waves. In an instant, the other seven horse racing girls in the field surrounded him with shining eyes, just like fans meeting their idols. Kitano in the stands was so scared that he shrank back.
