The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

Facing the words of the Holy King, Kitano of course understood at this moment that his current choice was completely linked to the two largest horse racing girl families in Japan, but at this point, he had no way to refuse.

However, compared to the affairs of the Symbol family, Kitano was much more relieved about the Mejiro family. And even if Aldan had not confessed his feelings to him, he would still continue to accompany Aldan.

"You heard it just now. Aldan said that she can't leave me in her current state. If for no other reason, even for Aldan's health, I have to stay with her until she safely passes through maturity."

"As for what happens after you mature..." Kitano paused for a moment, but soon continued helplessly, "We'll just have to take it one step at a time."

"However, as long as I can change Aldan's fate, I will persist. This time, I must let her live a complete life."

As Kitano said this, he was also concerned about the changes in Saint King Halo's expression. However, just after he finished speaking, Saint King Halo suddenly curled up slightly, which made Kitano react immediately.

"What's wrong, Holy King?"

"No, I just felt my heart tighten a little bit."

The Holy King also found it quite strange. She clearly thought that she had no love feelings for the man in front of her, but when she saw Kitano so happily working hard for another woman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness and pain deep in her heart.

This feeling really made him feel like he was jealous. But the Holy King didn't think he liked Bei Ye, so why would he be jealous?

Is it just because this man is her only confidant? And she is worried that her only confidant will be taken away?

It couldn't be just that. Could it be that I really had feelings for him? I just didn't realize it?

Thinking of this, the Holy King subconsciously reached out and rubbed the soft flesh on Kitano's cheek. After satisfying his desire, he frowned again.

"What's wrong? Holy King?"

"I still don't feel anything, even though we were so close."

Is it not exciting enough? Thinking this, the Holy King withdrew his palm, then turned his gaze to Kitano and immediately said, "I want to stay here today, is that okay?"

"Now?" Kitano was also surprised by the Saint King's sudden change of attitude, but he immediately replied, "That's no problem. As for the extra beds, we'll..."

"No, I'll sleep with you."

However, the next moment, the words of the Holy King's aura interrupted Kitano's actions. The Holy King had a nonchalant smile on his face, looking at Kitano and said, "We have done this before. Every New Year's Eve, we would sleep under the fireplace together, right?"

"By the way... I do have something I want to know. Just think of it as taking the lover test with me again, okay?"

Saint King Halo wanted to understand exactly what kind of feelings she had for the man before her: love, family, or friendship? Why could she be so calm watching him with other women, but only feel unhappy when he talked about other women?

Saint King Halo wanted to know the answer to this question clearly that night. She didn't know why she suddenly became so obsessed with this matter, but she always felt that it was very important for her to figure out the relationship between the two of them.

Chapter 291: The mutual changes between the Holy King and Kitano

"Wow..."

Accompanied by the sound of running water, not long after, Saint King Halo, wearing a changed sportswear, walked into Kitano's room while wiping his hair. At this moment, Kitano had just finished making the bed - it was a bit difficult for two people to sleep on this small bed.

Although three horse girls have slept together here before, it is still different compared to a 1-meter-tall man like Kitano, especially for smaller girls like Emperor and Miyu, who can barely sleep together if they squeeze together, but Kitano finds it difficult to force himself to sleep.

It's a pity that this is what Saint King Halo insisted on doing. Even if Kitano had any objections, it would be of no use. He had never found a way to refuse Saint King Halo's request. He was afraid that if Saint King said he wanted to jump him today, he would have no way to refuse.

——Of course, the possibility of this risk is very low. Although a man and a woman are staying in the same room and sleeping in the same bed, they still have to sleep in separate beds and cannot sleep under the same quilt.

Moreover, if the Saint King really wanted to jump Beiye, not to mention that Beiye might be more than happy to do so, if she really wanted to, why would she have to go through so much roundabout ways? She could just start right here.

There is no need to worry about even the subsequent problems. The police will not come to the team room even if Maer jumps. Although the door was kicked in by the Holy King, the sound insulation effect of the wall is also excellent. This place is far away from the dormitory area, and no one will come even if you shout for help.

Besides, it would be easy for Sheng Wang, a horse girl, to jump to Kitano. But Sheng Wang had her own persistence. She would not jump to Kitano until she figured out her feelings for him.

Some might wonder why the Holy King was so stubborn, but she said it was only natural—because she and Kitano were so familiar with each other! It was almost like family. To the Holy King, Kitano was a trainer, a brother, and a father. Without sorting out these feelings, how could she possibly dance with Kitano?

She couldn't accept the complexity of any ethical relationship. This was also why the Holy King and Kitano got along so well in the later period, and neither side had broken through the last layer of window paper, because the Holy King had not yet figured out the other side of this window paper.

And now, even Kitano can't tell the difference.

Looking at the Holy King who had changed his clothes and whose hair was wet, Bei Ye naturally made way for him and said to him, "You've come just in time. The quilt has been made for you. Now come and blow dry your hair."

"sorry to bother you."

However, facing Kitano's invitation, the Holy King is no longer as shy as before, and he no longer pretends to be arrogant.

Now she can enjoy all the care from Kitano as an acquaintance, as if it were a matter of course. This kind of tacit understanding was slowly cultivated as the two of them became more familiar with each other.

And now Kitano no longer needs to be as restrained as before. The aura of the previous Saint King still had some barriers to him, but now he can treat the Saint King just as he did last week. Therefore, Kitano was also confident and bold, and confidently displayed his "first-class hair-drying skills" that were recognized by the Saint King.

Accompanied by the hot flow from the hair dryer, Kitano's fingers kept moving slowly through the Holy King's undried hair, helping her comb her hair.

As time went by, the Holy King seemed to feel the comfort after relaxation. With gentle breathing, her tail began to slowly wrap around Kitano's thigh because of this comfort.

Some people say that a horse girl's tail and a human are two completely different creatures. Although this statement is just a joke, it is actually correct in a sense - because the tail is an innate part of a horse girl, although its position is a bit awkward, it is also a very important part of a horse girl.

Almost no horsegirls have ever specifically learned to control their tails, because they have learned to control them imperceptibly since they were born. They don't even need to control them and can use their tails to do various things subconsciously.

For horse girls, the tail plays a certain auxiliary role in their running. But even so, horse girls who are born to run do not need to systematically learn to master the tail, let alone horse girls with talents that can enter the Tresen Academy?

This also leads to the fact that horse racing girls pay almost no attention to the movements of their tails, but the tail is the existence that can best reflect the horse racing girl's emotions towards a thing or a person.

For example... the Holy King is now wrapping his tail around Kitano's thigh as a sign of goodwill.

"What's wrong? Do you need me to take care of your tail?" Kitano couldn't help laughing when he saw the Holy King's tail wrapped around him. He subconsciously used a hair dryer to blow the tail that was not yet dry, and satisfied his hand at the same time.

I have to say that the feel of a horse girl's tail is really incomparable to that of her hair. Even for someone like the Holy King, whose daily hair conditioner alone is so expensive that it's daunting, the feel of the hair on his tail is always better than his hair.

"That's not necessary. I've already taken care of my tail when I was taking a shower." The Holy King's tail was grabbed, and his cheeks flushed slightly. After all, that was the horse girl's sensitive spot.

But she didn't scold Kitano, nor did she ask him to stop. Instead, after Kitano had rubbed her to his heart's content, she said with a hint of embarrassment, "Really... don't do this to other people in the team, okay? It will be considered harassment."

"How could that be? I'd be torn to pieces." Bei Ye jokingly replied, "Cao Shangfei already feels that there are too many people on our team, and he's a little dissatisfied."

"A lot? Ah... Speaking of a team, it's quite a lot."

The Holy King was also slow to realize that, without knowing when, this team already had seven horse girls, including Aldan and Good Opera who came to help. Even in Tresen Academy, this was an astonishing number.

"However, it is strange to hear such words coming out of the mouth of a little grass."

"Ok?"

"You didn't know? Don't be fooled by Xiaocao's peaceful appearance, but she actually quite enjoys the hustle and bustle. I thought she would want to add more people to the team."

The Holy King muttered this. Although she was happy about Cao Shangfei's joining, she was also a little concerned about Cao Shangfei's recent behavior which was different from before.

"Come to think of it, you're putting my debut, Xiaocao's, and Xing-chan's debut together, right?"

"Well, the original plan was to do it all next year, but... I haven't decided yet."

When the topic of the future came up, Kitano suddenly became serious. While drying Saint King's hair, he replied, "Especially with your schedule. If you were to compete together, the competition for a spot in the Classic Triple Crown would be very fierce."

"Actually, I have my own thoughts on this."

When the Holy King said this, he subconsciously turned his head slightly to look at Kitano behind him, and then said: "I want to debut this year, what do you think?"

"This year?" Kitano was also a little surprised by the Holy King's choice and couldn't help but ask, "Why, you don't want to compete with Xing-chan and the others? This doesn't seem like a first-rate decision."

"Then what should I do? I'm not sure I'll win against Xiaocao and Xing-chan."

Upon hearing this, the Holy King laughed helplessly and said, "If I were to line up with them, I'm afraid the Classic Triple Crown next year would be very crowded. Such a matchup would certainly be exciting, but I'm not that confident of winning."

"I've had enough of the suffering in my dreams. This time, can I try a more relaxing approach?"

After saying that, the Holy King did not get a reply from Kitano. He turned his head in surprise and looked at Kitano, but he found that Kitano's expression at the moment was subtle, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just feel that those things have had a huge impact on you, Saint King. What you said now almost makes me not recognize you anymore."

"I actually heard the word 'give up' from the Saint King's mouth."

Having said that, Kitano was not surprised that the Holy King would make such a choice. Thanks to Kitano's efforts over so many rounds, the stupid policy of "holding a horse" has completely disappeared from this world. This means that Ms. Kusa, who was unable to participate in the Classic Triple Crown in the original world because she was a holding horse, can also compete this time.

And now the Saint King has to face two powerful fighters, Cao Shangfei and Qingyun Tiankong, who debuted at the same time. So because of his past memories, the Saint King knows that he suffered a loss in the Classic Triple Crown, so it is reasonable for him to choose to avoid the battle.

In fact, this is what Kitano had been trying his best to encourage the Holy King to do. If it was the Kitano from last week, he would probably agree happily without hesitation when he heard the Holy King say this.

But now... Kitano really heard the word "give up" from the Holy King's mouth, but he felt a mixed feeling... as if he had hindered the other person's dream.

"Don't you want this?" The Holy King was also surprised that Bei Ye was so conflicted, and couldn't help asking, "I thought you would be happy..."

"Maybe, I might be happy." Kitano admitted this, but then said with mixed feelings: "But the point is, Holy King, are you happy yourself?"

"If this is your choice, of course I support you. No matter what you choose, I will support you. I can be sure of that."

"But I hope... you don't worry about my feelings and make your own choice. The Saint King Halo I know is quite stubborn when it comes to this kind of bottom line."

But you've destroyed all that stubbornness, idiot.

The Holy King is now a little confused. What on earth is this man thinking? He tried so hard to stop her before, but this time she listened to his teachings, and this man thinks that her choice is too accommodating... It is really confusing.

However, I really can't hate the way he looks like he's thinking about me.

"So what do you think? As a trainer, can you give me some advice?"

"If I give advice, it will feel like instigation." Kitano did not want to change the Holy King's mind because of his own opinion, but he only saw the Holy King's persistent expression. After some hesitation, he still spoke.

"If it were me... Actually, no matter which Saint King he was, I would like him."

"But, if it were me, the figure with the aura of a first-class Saint King who, even if defeated ten times, would prove himself to be the most beautiful would always be the most beautiful."

"Oh, sorry, I seem to have said something that incited you again."

Kitano also realized belatedly that he had said something that was not good for the Holy King's aura. However, seeing Kitano's nervous look, the Holy King laughed dumbly, grabbed his arm, and said seriously, "No, I think you are right. You are worthy of being my first-class trainer."

"Yeah... I even forgot the most important thing, my pride... Really, how could I throw this away?"

The Holy King also felt somewhat helpless. Ever since she had been with this man for a long time, her mind seemed to have become comfortable, and she had even forgotten the pride and glory that she had pursued in the past.

But now that Kitano reminded her, Saint King Halo immediately remembered all this. Now, she is not the Saint King Halo who lives a comfortable and enjoyable life. She has just embarked on her new journey and must not slack off.

——However, this time, she will no longer be afraid, because she has already found someone who will definitely support her.

"This time, let's take back what we lost together."

"Ah."

Facing the hand extended by the Holy King, Kitano knew that she had already made her decision. And this time, facing the aura of the confident Holy King, he also extended his supportive hand as always.

Looking at Kitano's hand that represented support, the Holy King couldn't help but smile with joy.

This time, we will never lose again, absolutely.

With you, we can definitely change everything.

Chapter 292: Two people who seem to be married but not in love

And last night, after the discussion between Kitano and Saint King Halo, Saint King Halo has already planned to compete with Cao Shangfei and Qingyun Tiankong for the Classic Triple Crown. This time, she does not intend to retreat, but chooses to face difficulties and move forward bravely - although it sounds like it seems to be no different from her previous choices, the mentality of the Saint King is different now.

In the past, she knew rationally that there was no hope, but she still chose to charge forward. Others would not turn back until they hit the wall, but she hit the wall and wanted to push it down with great rage, but ended up hitting her head and bleeding.

But this time, she also knew that there was a south wall ahead, but she still wanted to overturn it. To this end, she found other ways instead of going forward to attack it head-on.

And now, her situation is different from before. In the past, she went to competitions alone, without anyone supporting her. She couldn't feel it and didn't want other people's support.

This time, she was no longer alone. This time, she was much luckier than last time—she had gone through hardships and trials before she found her happiness.

But this time, she already knew her own happiness and support, so she chose to face the hardships and trials.

Saint King Halo is full of confidence that he can change his past destiny this time. Although it may be blind, at least in the Saint King's heart, everything she has now should not be more difficult than in the past.

She had even successfully gotten through the most difficult period with his encouragement. Now she already knew how good he was to her. Even if she was a little spoiled by this guy... she shouldn't lose her fighting spirit as a member of a famous family, right?

With this thought in mind, Saint King Halo slept soundly that night. Beside her, Kitano's breath and the touch brought by the crowded small bed made Saint King Halo feel unprecedented peace of mind, and she soon fell asleep.

As for Kitano's situation... that's not clear, but at least, Kitano is not unaccustomed to the situation where Uma Musume is sleeping on the side of the bed.

……

“Oh, it’s so hot…”

But in the early morning of the next day, Kitano was awakened by a stuffy feeling. He felt that the feeling of waking up was no better than accidentally falling asleep in the kotatsu in winter.

But the difference is that when he woke up from the kotatsu, he felt like his lower body was on fire, but now, Kitano felt a stuffy feeling that every part of his body was sweating... just like he was in a sauna.

Kitano had no choice but to open his eyes. Just when he was about to raise his hand, he felt something heavy pressing down on his arm. He turned his head slightly and saw a cute sleeping face.

He knew this would happen. Kitano quickly realized the situation, and facing the Saint King's aura, which had curled up in his quilt without him knowing when, and kicked his quilt under the bed, Kitano had experienced it before.

The Holy King's sleeping posture is very strange. When she is with someone she is not familiar with, she can sleep very soundly. However, if the person sleeping next to her is someone she is familiar with, her sleeping posture will suddenly become unrestrained.

Kitano learned this from fellow Golden Generation member Kusanagi Hi, though it was only last week's episode. Kusanagi Hi said that the Umamusume, who debuted in the same generation, had gone through summer training camps together more than once. While the Holy King's sleeping posture was fine at first, it got worse each time as they got to know each other better.

When he was with Kitano, the Holy King was like this... Especially after he got to know Kitano better, they slept together before. For example, when they went to the hot springs, they slept on the same tatami mat, and then the Holy King somehow got into his quilt...

No wonder he felt so hot... Uma Musume's body temperature is higher than humans'. She is a self-heating stove. Who wouldn't feel hot after sticking to her for a whole night?
