The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

"But now, you are all using the power and interests you represent to tell me who is the better choice... But if that's the case... I'm sorry, I won't choose anyone."

Kitano closed his eyes slightly, and after a long while, he softly said something that might be so suicidal that it would make him start over again.

"I think... your trainer back then... probably thought the same thing, right?"

For a moment, as Kitano's voice fell, the scene fell into deathly silence. Kitano's words left the two family heads speechless.

The atmosphere began to gradually become weird, but it also seemed to be much more relaxed. Ji Zhao, who was standing next to him, had bright eyes and stared at Kitano with his mouth slightly open.

This man... is really brave. He dares to say anything.

Chapter 281: The tacit choice of the two family heads?

Although Ji Zhao told Kitano the story of the two family heads, she really didn't expect that Kitano would dare to learn and apply it immediately. He did not completely copy the senior trainer's approach, but he did not just follow his own desires.

Ji Zhao had never expected that Kitano would actually dare to bring up the matter of the senior trainer in front of the two family heads, deliberately opening up this scar - to say that this behavior was courting death would be an understatement.

Not many people knew about the past of the two family heads, but those who did would never dare to mention it in front of them. But now, Kitano directly spoke about the past and, from his own perspective as a trainer, explained why the senior trainer chose to escape.

Because in this situation... no one knows how to choose. Even if Kitano imagines that Rudolph and Aldan ask him to choose one of them, Kitano will definitely not be able to make a choice - because for him, he has an inseparable love for each of them, and no matter which one is missing, he will feel heartbroken.

Maybe it's Kitano's own bad nature. He also has his own possessiveness. If possible, he, a virgin who has played 10 games in 2010, would like to have it all - but the result will only be that he gets nothing and is divided into several parts.

This is the real world. Although it was a two-dimensional world before traveling through time, after it became reality, Kitano felt that he should not even think about the idea of ​​a two-dimensional "harem", but he could not make a choice.

All I can say is... Kitano can only be a person waiting to be chosen. Whether it's Rudolph, Aldan, or any of the other horse girls, whoever confesses to him first and impresses Kitano first, Kitano will definitely make the decision immediately.

After that… no matter how many horse girls liked him, he had to politely decline… This was Kitano's best option. Since he couldn't make a choice, he might as well let others choose him. It was fine for him to be the passive one.

But... this naturally has a premise. Kitano doesn't want to be someone's appendage anymore, nor does he want his fate to be controlled by the big family.

Therefore, he could like Aldan and the Rudo symbol, but it did not mean that he liked the forces represented by each of them - if they approached Kitano with such a purpose, then Kitano would definitely stay away from them.

"What do you mean, Kitano-chan?"

The first one to react was Speed ​​Symbol. Apparently, she had just had such a big fight with the head of the Mejiro family that she didn't notice that it was Ji Zhao who told Kitano about these things. But she didn't care. She and the head of the Mejiro family had already exposed this wound to each other several times. Now, when it was mentioned again, she only twitched the corners of her mouth slightly without any pain.

"What I mean is... I like Aldan and the Ludor symbol, but that doesn't mean I was attracted by the temptation of the family they represent."

Kitano had no choice but to express his wishes in the simplest terms, saying, "When I was with Rudolph and Aldan, they never mentioned anything about their family. We were just like ordinary horse girls and trainers, with no class differences."

"Let me put it this way... If Rudolph had confessed her feelings for me that day out of her own free will, I definitely wouldn't have rejected her... Unfortunately, she was analyzing the pros and cons from the perspective of a symbolic heir, and that's why I rejected her."

"People like me... can only marry the same 'people' as me, but I can't get close to anyone powerful or influential. If I did, I'd probably no longer be considered a 'human' in everyone's eyes, but become a 'god-like' being."

"But I don't want to be a 'god'. I just want to live as a free person who can make my own choices and decisions. People like me will become unrecognizable if they get even a little bit of power."

Kitano was not just talking nonsense. After so many rounds, he had come into contact with all kinds of places that were related to the powerful and wealthy, such as the Symbol Family, the Mejiro Family, the Sakura Family, the Holy King Family... He had experienced all the families that could control his will at will once he was separated from his original identity.

He has felt powerless and his judgments and ideas have not been supported... Although each family feels differently, if Kitano were to choose, he certainly doesn't want to have any more relationships with any family this time.

Now, he wants to use his own ideas to change the fate of these horse racing girls he cherishes, whether it is Rudolf, Aldan, or others... Therefore, this time he must be more persistent in his ideas than ever before.

He couldn't bear to see another tear of regret...whether it was his own or Uma Musume's. Therefore, he didn't want an invisible hand controlling him this time, forcing him to change his mind. He had had enough.

"So, Trainer Kitano is going to reject the best girls from both of our families?"

The Mejiro family head was also somewhat surprised. He had not expected Kitano to make such a choice. He said in a pointed tone, "Could it be that Trainer Kitano's standards are that high? The two most outstanding horse girls from the major families are not worthy of your attention?"

"How could that be... If I could be loved by two of the best horse girls at the same time, it would be the greatest blessing of my life."

Kitano only smiled bitterly and spread his hands as he replied, "But I can only get along with them as horse girls, but not with them as young ladies..."

"I think when they wanted to spend time with me, they definitely didn't come with the intention of fulfilling a family mission... This is the most important reason why I can get along with them."

Kitano saw that the two patriarchs didn't seem angry. His statement had been successful, and he hadn't encountered any attacks from the dark. He breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed slightly to the two patriarchs and said, "Well... I'm sorry, patriarchs. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first..."

Kitano didn't dare to stay for long. He was afraid that if he went back too late, some of the kids in the team with keen senses would notice something.

Just after Kitano left, the two family heads were silent for a long time. After looking at each other, they both showed some interested smiles.

"Did you hear that? Asama? What that kid said."

"Yeah... this kid's feeling..."

The two old men laughed bitterly and said almost at the same time: "It's exactly the same as what our trainer said."

As these words fell, Ji Zhao, who had remained silent until then, was surprised by a scene that occurred. The two elders, who had been at odds with each other for millennia, actually walked forward hand in hand, supporting each other as they spoke these words. It was as if, in that instant, the two patriarchs had made peace.

Although Ji Zhao was surprised, he didn't dare to speak a word. He just followed them silently, listening to the conversation between the two elders who were obviously at loggerheads before but were now friendly and like sisters.

"Tell me, Asama, are we too stubborn? We always want to find the best for our granddaughters, but in the end we leave them with nothing."

The Speed ​​Symbol and Mejiro Asama also slowly sat down together. The Symbol Patriarch, now feeling somewhat emotional, was clearly recalling some past events. He said calmly, "It's such a simple matter... when did it become complicated when it was mixed with profit? I thought I was used to thinking this way, but I forgot what those children wanted most."

"Forget it. Who wouldn't want a son-in-law who doesn't covet fame, wealth, or power? Even if we were dreaming, we wouldn't have thought there would be another person as pure as our trainer back then, right?"

Mejiro Asama also shook her head. She was not as stubborn as the Speed ​​Symbol, but she did have her own selfish motives in sending Aldan to Kitano. It could not be said that it was entirely for Aldan's consideration.

But even if all these benefits were thrown away, the head of the Mejiro family would still let Aldan go to Kitano, and the reason is very obvious.

"But I wasn't sending Aldan there out of pure selfishness," Mejiro Asama said, calming down. "That kid only feels so happy and joyful when he's with Trainer Kitano... I even think that with him around, Aldan's illness might even be cured."

"That's why I wanted to leave him at the Mejiro family. This way... maybe that kid Aldan could be saved, right?"

"Yeah...I think so too."

The Speed ​​Symbol was also deeply moved upon hearing this. He sighed deeply and spoke his mind, "That child Rudolph... is too much of a worry. Someone needs to be by her side to take good care of her. But after all these years, who can keep Rudolph in check?"

"This time, someone finally showed up—that guy was able to tame our Symbol family's most proud racehorse girl with just a few words. For the past month, without that guy, I've been as listless as if I'd been detoxed."

"If I hadn't known about this, I wouldn't have believed that anyone could actually control that child... But now I've truly seen it, so no matter what, even if it's just for Rudolph, I'm going to keep him in the Symbolist family."

"But you only have this one daughter. Are you willing to let her leave the Symbol family?" Mejiro Asama found this amusing. He looked at the Speed ​​Symbol beside him with interest and asked, "I have more than just Aldan in my family. I can accept that child leaving the Mejiro family, but besides Rudolph, is there anyone else in your family who can keep things under control?"

"There's always a way." The Speed ​​Symbol was silent for a moment, then revealed a mysterious smile and said faintly, "That kid isn't heartless. He's obviously upset after breaking up with Rudolph. As long as we're sure of that, there's always a chance."

"So, what happens next depends entirely on our granddaughter's own luck?"

Mejiro Asama also understood something immediately, but from the smiles on the faces of the two family heads, it was obvious that they had each made plans in their minds and knew what was going to happen next, so they had no way of interfering.

But at the same time, another idea emerged in their minds... an unprecedented idea that could benefit their two most precious granddaughters and even their two families... but now, they have not made up their minds to use this last resort.

But if the fight between Rudolf and Aldan ended with both sides being evenly matched and no one being stronger... then they would have no choice but to make such a choice of compromise.

At least, the two families each got half, which is better than getting nothing and becoming losers like these two grandmothers at that time, right?

Chapter 282: Shoes sent by Prince Sakura?

Kitano did not reveal the fact that he had met the head of the Mejiro family and the head of the Yuzhi family at the same time after returning to the team. After all, if he told others that these two elders were "forcing him to get married", it would inevitably cause some waves in the team.

Especially for Aldan, who has now recovered and returned to the team. Kitano had known that there was some family mission involved when Aldan came to the team from the Mejiro family, but Aldan had never crossed the line from beginning to end, neither deliberately getting close to him nor deliberately creating ambiguity with him.

Kitano is not a fool. Of course he can feel whether others are deliberately trying to get closer to him or whether it is a normal way of getting along with him. In Kitano's opinion, Rudolf's method is an example of being too hasty.

Therefore, Kitano would reject Rudolph, but he would not think that Aldan had the same idea as Rudolph, because even if Aldan had a good impression of him, he had been getting along with Kitano in detail from beginning to end.

If Ardan knew that the head of the Mejiro family had approached him and even "forced him into marriage"... she would probably be very troubled.

Therefore, after Kitano left this time, he acted as if nothing had happened and joined everyone in the team in celebrating Sakura Shinoh's victory in his debut match.

For Sakura Shinou, the victory in this game means that she will officially embark on her journey as the first horse girl to debut in Kitano's team. Her victory can be regarded as a good start for the team, even though she is the last one to join the team.

At the celebration banquet, everyone was extremely happy, whether it was Emperor, Mi Yu, Shanxin and Bourbon who still had some time to go before their debut, or Qingyun Tiankong, Cao Shangfei and Shengwang Guanghuan who were expected to follow suit and embark on their journey next year, they were all cheering for this victory.

After the party, everyone was tired and didn't stay for long, so they all returned to their dormitories. Kitano went back to the team room alone - he had gradually gotten used to treating the team room as his own dormitories.

At this moment, there was a very violent knock on the door, and before Kitano could react, the door of the team room suddenly opened with the sound of a key.

"Trainer-san! Are you in there? I'm coming in!"

"King Jin?" Kitano, who was planning to take a rare break today, saw Sakura King Jin enter the team room without any hindrance and asked in surprise, "How did you get in? I don't remember giving you the key to the team room?"

"Huh? But everyone on the team has a key to the team room." Sakura Shinou was equally surprised by Kitano's surprise. He said to Kitano as if it was a matter of course, "From the day I joined the team, Captain Shengwang gave me the key to the team room and told me that if I needed anything, I could always come to Trainer-san - that's what Captain Shengwang said."

"Holy King..." Kitano felt a little bit of a toothache when the Holy King Halo was mentioned. During this period, the Holy King Halo treated him so gently that he was a little panicked. Moreover, the Holy King Halo had been paying close attention to the relationship between him and the team members during this period.

She even looked like she wished they had a good relationship with Kitano, which made Kitano feel particularly frightened... Especially since the Holy King repeatedly emphasized that she would not be jealous, she was just doing what she should do.

Could it be that the Holy King's plan is to let him be entangled by the racehorse girls in his own team, and then torn him into pieces in order to fight for his ownership?

But he didn't seem to have done anything to make the Holy King jealous and turn evil, right? Kitano thought to himself terrified. Ever since he brought Sakura into the throne, he hadn't done anything to make the Holy King's aura uncomfortable, right?

As for jealousy... To be honest, if the Holy King was jealous, Kitano could basically tell that the Holy King was not the kind of horse girl who could suppress her jealousy, and this was the same even after they got to know each other.

In the past, the Holy King would get jealous because Kitano was not paying full attention to her. Later, after they exchanged their feelings and understood each other, the Holy King was no longer jealous after he knew that Kitano always had her in his heart. However, whenever Kitano mentioned looking for other horse girls, the Holy King's aura always acted reluctant.

Even when Kitano tried to use "Princess Kawakami" as his "daughter", the Holy King's Halo still reluctantly turned its back on his ears. After a while, Kitano gave up.

And now, Saint King Halo's tone and words did not reveal any jealousy... Although Kitano had a strong premonition that Saint King Halo was speaking in a sarcastic way, her behavior, combined with Kitano's understanding of her, made Kitano confused.

I hope... am I just overthinking this? And given the Saint King's personality, he probably won't do anything to him.

Kitano felt a little guilty thinking in his heart. He now felt more and more that this aura of the Holy King, which seemed to have the memory of last week and combined with the performance of this week, became a little difficult for him to understand.

But no matter what, at least Kitano now understands where the key to King Jin came from...

But, everyone has the key to the team room? Kitano really didn't know about this, but he didn't know why these little girls kept it from him... They weren't here for a night raid, so why did they need the key?

Kitano thought to himself, "If only someone could force him to have sex with me, isn't that what happens in those weird books?" He hadn't been without a horse girl who had a crush on him this week, but nothing like that had happened... Was his virginity really that hard to break?

"King Jin, why did you come to see me?"

"Yes! It's about our victory in today's debut match!" Sakura Shinou's attention was quickly diverted, and he said excitedly to Kitano, "I feel like I didn't have time to express my joy and gratitude to you at the celebration party, so I came here specially to thank the trainer this time!"

"I brought a gift!" Sakura Shinou took out her hands, which had been kept behind her back. In her hands, she was seen holding a large box. She said to Kitano with a look of joy, "Please open it and take a look, Trainer-san. This is a gift I prepared for you!"

"Then I'll take it." Kitano saw that Sakura Jinou was so interested. Knowing that the kid was a fool, he didn't say anything polite and took it immediately - the thing inside was quite heavy, what was it?

"Come to think of it, I was thinking of getting in touch with you, Wang. You performed very well this time and set a good start for our team. Because of your victory, everyone's enthusiasm for debuting has been ignited."

Kitano was not in a hurry to open it. Holding the box in his hand, he did not hesitate to praise Sakura Jinou in front of him - he knew that the best way to make Sakura Jinou feel that she was valued and to praise her efforts.

For someone with Sakura Shinou's personality, praise is the best way to treat her. Some horse girls need to be criticized and need to reflect, but Sakura Shinou needs encouragement no matter whether she makes mistakes or wins.

"Is there any reward you want? As long as I can do it, I will help you do it."

"Huh? Reward?" King Jin was a little surprised when he heard that, but he quickly regained his smile and said, "That kind of thing is totally unnecessary!"

"I joined Trainer-san's team because you're the trainer I admire the most! And over the past month, you've encouraged me, cared for me, and guided my training! I owe all my current achievements to Trainer-san!"

"I love Trainer-san the most! If I were to give you a reward, please continue to teach me and praise me like this in the future! I believe everything you tell me!"

Sakura Jin Wang spoke to Kitano without any shyness. Obviously, she expressed the kind of "like" that was related to respect. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, she did not stay any longer and immediately said: "Then I have to go back and rest. As the grade chairman, I can't be late tomorrow! So I'll go back first! Bao Jin——"

"Go a little slower." Kitano also watched Sakura Shinou leave. Taking over such a noisy horse girl like Shinou again made him feel more relaxed than ever before. When chatting with Sakura Shinou, he didn't need to be on guard or guess her thoughts, because she didn't have any guard at all.

When he returned to the team room, Kitano looked at the box in his hand and finally couldn't help but open this rather heavy gift box. He was quite curious about what gift Sakura Shinou would give him as a thank you?

As soon as he opened the box, he saw two objects, one white, one black, and some pink, appear in front of him.

Aren't these the shoes that Sakura Shinou wore for her victory suit? Kitano found it quite strange, and underneath the two pairs of shoes was a piece of paper with words written on it.

"These shoes are proof of victory! They're proof of my first victory with Trainer-san! Please make sure to place them in the most prominent spot in the team room. Tomorrow, if I see these shoes, I'll be a hundred times more motivated and I'll charge forward again!"

"Put it in a prominent place? Then do I need to buy a glass cabinet or something?"

Kitano was a little amused and confused about the "gift" that Sakura Shinou gave him. Apart from collecting Uma Musume's shoe trophies in the Uma Musume mobile game activities, this was the first time he received Uma Musume's shoes in real life.

However, it's just a pair of shoes, so just leave it alone. As long as this can motivate Sakura to become the king, maybe it will have an effect on the other horse girls as well.

"It's just that...it seems Sakura Shinou sent over the shoes she was wearing. Didn't she even wash them?"

Kitano looked at Sakura Shinou's shoes in his hands. They felt quite heavy thanks to the horseshoes still on. Traces of dirt and grass still clung to the soles and insoles. Even when Kitano picked them up, they felt warm... Could they have just been taken off? Didn't Shinou come in barefoot? Feeling the lingering warmth in his hands, Kitano couldn't help but feel something strange.

It feels like you take off your socks and your brain tells you: Smell it.

Before Kitano could reason and refute, his instinct had already done so - a rather perverted behavior. After Kitano lightly sniffed the scent of Sakura Shinou's shoes, he slapped his forehead a few seconds later and muttered to himself;

"I must be sick... Fortunately, Prince Jin is gone, otherwise it would be hard to explain this state."

However, Uma Musume's physique is truly amazing. She doesn't actually have any sweat odor, and even has a faint scent of cherry blossoms.

But Kitano will not smell it again. His morality only allows him to make this mistake. Next time he will be a real pervert.

I'll order glass cabinets and the like later. For now... it should be fine if I put it on the table.

Kitano, however, clearly didn't notice the figure that flashed past the window behind her. She seemed to have witnessed it all... and for a moment, her cheeks, like the color of her final match suit, turned a bright cherry pink.

Chapter 283: Luduo's symbolic comeback!

However, at this late hour, the scene in the student union was completely different from that in Kitano Sentai's room.
