The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

Kitano, who was in this state, was lucky that no one else was visiting. He carefully turned over and gently pulled up the horse's ears that were drooping from the Holy King's halo with his other hand, and called softly: "Holy King - it's morning, wake up quickly -"

"Ugh...hate it...let me sleep a little longer."

At Kitano's call, Saint King Halo opened her eyes in a daze. Finally, she let go of the arm that had been holding Kitano's body, propped herself up and sat down. After looking at Kitano for a while, she was silent for a while.

"Good morning, could you please make me an omelet or something?"

"Of course you can, but you need to change your clothes quickly. Xiaocao and Aldan should be arriving soon. It will be hard to explain if they see you."

Such a scene also made the Saint King Kitano's aura a little dazed for a moment. They all subconsciously raised their heads to look at each other, and almost murmured to themselves at the same time: "This scene is like a wedding." x2

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the two of them laughed it off at the same time. However, just that smile made the slight ripples that had just been stirred up in Saint King Halo's heart calm down in an instant.

"It really doesn't look like it, the two of us." After chuckling, the Holy King was completely relieved. He and this man really didn't have any feelings of love. It seemed that his reaction yesterday was too intense.

"It wasn't like that in the first place." Kitano felt relieved when he saw the Saint King smiling again. It seemed that the Saint King's emotional fluctuations yesterday were over.

"Then I'll go wash up first, and then make you an omelet. Anything else?"

"No need...you go out, I still need to change clothes." Saint King Halo also narrowed her eyes, as if she was still asleep. At this moment, she was only wearing a white shirt, and the lower body hidden under the quilt was not even wearing anything except a pair of shorts... But even so, she didn't seem to care at all when she was so close to Kitano.

But the Holy King wasn't as unrestrained as Ludo, and wouldn't feel a thing about being naked in front of Kitano. She'd been spoiled by this man and had become a bit lazy, but at least she still had a sense of shame.

But after a while, the Holy King saw that Bei Ye showed no signs of leaving. Then he realized something was wrong and opened his eyes again and asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you leaving?"

As if feeling that Kitano's gaze and expression were a little strange, for some reason, the Holy King subconsciously reached out and scratched his collar, hiding the slightly exposed ravines, and then continued to ask: "Aren't you awake either?"

"No, I just want to say, when are you going to get your tail off my thigh?"

However, it was Kitano's words that made the Saint King Aura react at this moment. Then, his face blushed rarely, and he silently retracted his tail that had been wrapped around Kitano's thigh and even circled around him several times.

……

After a while, Kitano put on his clothes again and walked out of the room. At that moment, a chestnut-haired figure standing at the stove with his back to Kitano scared Kitano so much that he almost took several steps back.

"Ah, isn't this Trainer-san—"

At this moment, she quickly caught the movement behind her. Kusagami Fei, who was wearing an apron, turned around with a gentle smile on her face and showed Kitano her Yamato Nadeshiko-like tolerant smile.

"Good morning, Trainer-san, it seems you slept well last night—"

"Uh... not bad, good morning."

Kitano also felt inexplicably panicked at this moment, especially when he saw Cao Shangfei. He knew that Cao Shangfei was someone who had everything under control, and he was afraid that nothing could be hidden from her.

"You came so early today, Xiaocao, when did you come?"

"It's been a while. I didn't want to disturb Trainer-san's rest. I wanted to wake you up after breakfast was ready."

"By the way... I also saw something very interesting."

Cao Shangfei's tone suddenly became playful, yet also tinged with a sense of danger that Kitano found difficult to describe. Cao Shangfei, however, maintained a gentle smile as he pulled his phone from his pocket.

The next moment, as if to verify Kitano's thoughts, as Cao Shangfei unlocked the phone, Kitano soon saw a frozen photo on the phone.

And that photo was a scene where Saint King Halo was almost lying on Kitano's body, and the two of them fell asleep together.

"Regarding this matter, Trainer-san, do you have anything to explain?"

"If I say that the Holy King insisted on sleeping in the same bed with me yesterday, and we didn't do anything else, would you believe it?"

When Cao Shangfei showed this photo to Kitano, Kitano did not panic and ask for secrecy like some people. Instead, after being slightly frightened, he tried to explain to Cao Shangfei what had happened.

Kitano's calm reaction also made Kusagami Fei look a little surprised. After blinking, he saw her only showing an expression of interest. She put away the phone and said, "I believe it. But, if I simply believe it, it's useless--"

"Trainer-san and Sheng Wang are incredibly close. Even if you don't have any such thoughts about each other, everyone is increasingly feeling that there's something going on between Trainer-san and Sheng Wang."

Fake. In fact, except for Cao Shangfei and Qingyun Tiankong, surprisingly, no one else in the team was curious about the relationship between Beiye and the Holy King.

Miura Bourbon and Miyu, because the Holy King had already confessed to them and promised that she had no such thoughts about Kitano, so she would not have any thoughts.

Shanxin had already joined forces with her sister, and was now wholeheartedly helping her sister lure Kitano to the Mejiro family. As for the emperor... she wouldn't have any other thoughts for a while; she herself was already deeply troubled.

Ultimately, it was Cao Shangfei and Qingyun Tiankong who were unhappy with the growing closeness between Beiye and Saint King Halo. Qingyun Tiankong could still ask Beiye out fishing, but what could Cao Shangfei do? Spend some time with their favorite trainer.

Looking at Beiye who was particularly concerned about the Holy King, Cao Shangfei had to admit that she felt a little jealous in her heart.

Chapter 293: Grass Flying's Tail Attack

"Indeed, a lot of things happened, and the Holy King and I did spend more time together than everyone else."

Kitano also heard the hidden meaning in Cao Shangfei's words. He was of course aware that the busyness during this period had left him with less time to spend with everyone in the team, especially Cao Shangfei and Qingyun Tiankong, the two members who joined the team later.

Although Kitano has tried his best to focus all his attention on the team, and he has promised before that he will treat everyone in the team equally, but to be honest, Kitano also knows that this is simply impossible.

There were inevitably some differences in Kitano's mind between those who had been taught in the past and those who had not. For example, right now, whether it was Aldan, Rudolf, Good Opera, and the Holy King, or even Mi Yu and Bourbon who had shown signs of unusual behavior earlier than them, they all held a significant weight in Kitano's heart.

Even Sakura Shinou, who had just joined not long ago, was completely different in Kitano's heart. It was human nature to have some preferences.

In comparison, for Di Wang, Shanxin, Cao Shangfei and Qing Yun Tiankong, even for Beiye, who thought he had taught half of Tresen Academy, this was the first time he had the opportunity to become their trainer. However, facing them who were now slowly rekindling their past friendship, it was difficult for Beiye to treat them equally.

Of course, Kitano knew from the beginning that he couldn't do it, so he said to every Uma Musume who joined the team, "If you feel you've been left out, you can come to me individually."

But even finding someone to talk to about your troubles takes courage. Someone like Cao Shangfei, who can express dissatisfaction with the indifference he's received, is already quite good. Kitano is more worried about people like Qingyun Tiankong... the type who won't say much even if they've been wronged.

Now that Cao Shangfei had spoken, Kitano realized that he might have been too indifferent to the feelings of the new members. Although he was a bit busy recently, this problem could not be escalated any further.

"However, if Xiaocao and Xingchan want to be intimate, you can always come to me."

"I wouldn't do that." Cao Shangfei smiled helplessly upon hearing that, and concentrated on the task at hand. He then muttered, "This will embarrass Sheng Wang..."

"Hmm? I think she wouldn't mind too much. She might even be happy for you to come to me, huh?"

Bei Ye certainly didn't ignore Cao Shangfei's whispers. Instead, he took the initiative to come to Cao Shangfei's side and help her with the work. As he kept getting closer to Cao Shangfei, he said, "Saint King, she's not as petty as you think. She's changed a lot."

"I know that." Cao Shangfei nodded upon hearing this. She raised her head to look at the ceiling, as if recalling the aura of the Saint King in her past memories. She couldn't help but smile and said, "The Saint King classmate from the past and her now are really very different. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this gentle person now is the Saint King classmate?"

"Ah, I'm not saying that the former Sheng Wang classmate wasn't gentle, it's just..."

"It's just that she can't express her tenderness openly, right?" Seeing Kushang Fei's anxious explanation, Kitano, understanding what he meant, immediately replied with the second half of his sentence. Facing Kushang Fei with a wry smile, Kitano asked, "So, Xiaocao, do you think I changed the Saint King?"

"Before meeting the trainer, I never imagined that Sheng Wang-san would become like this... I think, perhaps this is the power of your kindness?"

"So... I also hope that you can give a little of your power that can change Sheng Wang to Xing-chan. She also really needs the support of such gentle power."

"What about you, Xiaocao?" Beiye nodded, indicating that he had listened, but he soon noticed that Cao Shangfei had not mentioned her own affairs from beginning to end. Then he turned around and asked, "Xiaocao, don't you need the support of some so-called gentle power?"

"me?"

Cao Shangfei was slightly taken aback when she heard this. She had indeed not thought about her own affairs. After all, from the beginning, she had been in contact with Kitano in order to join Qingyun Tiankong. The idea of ​​becoming Kitano's horse girl was only an afterthought.

But more importantly, in addition to being impressed by Kitano's character, Cao Shangfei also hoped that she could take better care of Qingyun Tiankong within the team - she knew that her good friend's unenterprising personality in interpersonal relationships would likely suffer a loss in this regard if she joined a large team.

If Cao Shangfei joins, she can, like now, gain more attention for Qingyun Tiankong, which has been slightly neglected.

As for her... She was not as timid about new interpersonal relationships as Qingyun Tiankong, nor did she have a troublesome personality like Shengwang Halo. Cao Shangfei always felt that she was nothing special, just a normal person.

As a normal person, Cao Shangfei thinks that she does not need so much attention. What she wants to see is a happy team. As for herself becoming a marginal role... she doesn't care much.

After all, Cao Shangfei has always been the one who cares about other people's situations, and gradually, she has ignored her own feelings.

Now, facing Kitano's concern for her, Cao Shangfei was slightly stunned, looking a little uncomfortable, but soon, she showed a gentle smile again and said: "As for me...it's too late to share the trainer's concern with everyone. As for me, I'd better not cause trouble for the trainer, okay?"

"Like this, do what you can for the tired trainer. It's okay to make breakfast, tidy up the room, or help you run the bath."

A gentle smile appeared on Cao Shangfei's face, and he couldn't help but say, "It's just like..."

However, when he said this, Cao Shangfei suddenly realized something, and the remaining half of the sentence was stuck in his throat and could not come out.

Kitano seemed to realize what the second half of Cao Shangfei's sentence would be, and he felt a little embarrassed. Just like that, Cao Shangfei, with his cheeks slightly red, and Kitano, who was embarrassed and didn't know how to start, maintained this subtle atmosphere and did their own things at hand.

Kitano even forgot to wash up, but suddenly, he felt a familiar touch on his thigh and subconsciously looked at his thigh.

And then, a tail with a color very similar to the Holy King's halo was quietly flapping around Kitano's thighs, constantly producing the touch of a brush gently brushing against the skin.

Ms. Grass? What are you doing, Ms. Grass?!

Although he probably knew that Umamusume's tail and her attitude towards her were two different things, Kitano was a little confused by Kusanagi Tobi's behavior now. After all, this was not the tail of the Holy King's Halo, and he couldn't easily think that this was a gesture of goodwill towards him.

But... my answer just now should have made Cao Shangfei happy, right? Kitano thought uncertainly in his heart, gradually forgetting what he originally came here to do.

What? Where is the Holy King's halo? She had just woken up from Kitano and lazily went back to sleep, completely oblivious to what was happening in the outside world.

At this moment, a gentle knock on the door attracted the attention of Kitano and Kusagami. Soon, a timid voice came from the door that was kicked in by the Holy King's halo yesterday, "Um... is there anyone in there?"

"Hmm?" However, this slightly familiar voice made Cao Shangfei react immediately. Her slightly drooping ears stood up in an instant, and even her tail swayed a little more, proving her inner restlessness at the moment.

This voice... no way? Has it found its way here?

"Could this voice be from Te Zhou?"

Cao Shangfei's intense reaction also allowed Kitano to immediately identify the person from the familiar voice - after all, apart from Te Bie Zhou, there should be no one else who could make Ms. Cao react so strongly.

However, ever since his last attempt to get Te Bie Zhou to join the team so that Cao Shangfei wouldn't feel lonely was rejected by Cao Shangfei himself, he hasn't heard Cao Shangfei mention Te Bie Zhou again. What does Te Bie Zhou want to do by coming to him this time?

But no matter what, since the other party has come to visit, Kitano cannot refuse him.

What's more...Ms. Cao seemed quite happy just now?

From Cao Shangfei's erect ears and wagging tail, Kitano was basically sure that Cao Shangfei was happy about Te Bie Zhou's arrival. Without thinking too much, he went to the door, took a look at the deformed door, and slowly opened it.

Sure enough, in front of Kitano, there was a lively horse girl wearing the uniform of Tresen Academy, who looked a little restrained.

"Especially classmate Zhou?"

"Yes, yes! You are Trainer Kitano, right?!"

It was Tokugawa Shu's first time meeting Kitano. She had just started school and looked quite reserved. She bowed solemnly to Kitano and then said nervously, "Nice to meet you! I'm Tokugawa Shu, the new student! Um—I'm Kusagami Hi's friend, I guess..."

"Friends are friends, there's no need for such descriptions." Seeing the reserved Te Bie Zhou, Kitano felt that he was a bit like himself when he first entered Tresen Academy in the first round. He chuckled and said, "So, Te Bie Zhou, are you here to look for Xiao Cao?"

"No, no, I'm here to see you, Trainer Kitano!"

Te Bie Zhou said very nervously, but at this moment, she also noticed that Cao Shangfei was also in the team room, and was walking towards her slowly with a smile on his face, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

During this period of Special Week, she had some contact with Kusagami Tobi. Although she had also met her roommate, Silent Suzuka, she had not yet been attracted by Silent Suzuka's running posture. Therefore, now in Tresen Academy, besides Suzuka, Kusagami Tobi was one of the few horse girls that Special Week knew.

But... although he had a lot of contact with Cao Shangfei, Zhou always had a weird feeling... as if... Cao Shangfei didn't seem to like her very much?

Especially the look in his eyes that looked at him like an enemy, it was really terrifying! Zhou, who was born with a more sensitive nature, keenly sensed the dangerous smell of "oppression" coming from the smiling Cao Shangfei.

Chapter 294: Special Zhou who was strongly prevented from joining the team by Cao Shangfei

Te Bie Zhou didn't know how she had offended Cao Shangfei. It should be said that she and Cao Shangfei had not known each other for a long time. She also didn't know how a country horse racing girl from Hokkaido could make such a gentle horse racing girl like Cao Shangfei pay so much attention to her?

Ever since Te Bie Zhou started school, Cao Shangfei became the first guide to help her get familiar with the place called Tresen College. He was the first person in the college to lend her a helping hand. From this point alone, Te Bie Zhou quite liked Cao Shangfei.

After all, for Tebi Zhou, who had just enrolled, this was not only her first time at Tresen College, but also her first time in Tokyo. Having lived a simple life in her hometown, she was unfamiliar with everything in the big city. In this unfamiliar environment, the first person who extended a helping hand to her naturally made Tebi Zhou feel more dependent on her.

But... the kindness and tenderness of their first meeting gradually faded from Bie Te Zhou's mind after the next few meetings.

Because after that, Cao Shangfei looked for Te Bie Zhou several times. At first, Te Bie Zhou was happy that he had a new friend, but soon, Te Bie Zhou felt something was wrong.

First of all, Cao Shangfei showed great interest in her talent in running. He invited Te Bie Zhou to run side by side with her several times. After each run, he would praise Te Bie Zhou's talent while staring at her with a meaningful look.

Then, every time Zhou Tewei encountered a problem, Cao Shangfei would gently answer her questions. While helping her, he would also ask her if she was interested in any team's trainer, and even recommend which team was better for her.

All of these actions seemed to be attempts at goodwill. Zhou Yi initially thought so, but she gradually began to sense that Cao Shangfei's words, implicitly and implicitly, seemed to be asking her to quickly join the other team.

Moreover, Cao Shangfei did not mention a word about the team she was in, Kitano.

In fact, Tokukai Shu had wanted to join Kitano's team for a long time. She learned about Kitano's name from her roommate, Musashi Suzuka. Suzuka had suggested this to Tokukai Shu when she noticed that she was considering finding a trainer, but since she had just started school and was unfamiliar with the trainers and teams.

"If you can't choose... Spy-chan, why don't you consider joining Trainer Kitano Ryuichi's team?"

"Kitano Ryuichi?"

When Zhou Teyi heard the name, she was still confused. She didn't know why Suzuka didn't recommend her own trainer, but chose to recommend this trainer to her. However, Suzuka quickly explained, "Well, it's Trainer Kitano Ryuichi. He's quite famous recently. Some people say he's the 'savior of ordinary people'... and that's not an exaggeration, it's true."

"Among the horse girls that Trainer Kitano works with, there are many who have ordinary backgrounds and ordinary bloodlines, but he still manages to make them achieve quite good results. A while ago, Qingyun and Kusagami Fei also joined his team."

"If you, Spei-chan, aren't familiar with other trainers, I think joining Trainer Kitano's team wouldn't be a bad choice. He treats all horse girls equally, regardless of their talent."

Treat all horse girls the same!

Just this one sentence immediately attracted the attention of Zhou Te, who had just joined Tresen College and did not have a very clear understanding of his own talents!

From that time on, Tokai Zhou had made up her mind to join Kitano's team. If for no other reason, she wanted to join just because it treated all horse girls equally, regardless of their talent or not!

Especially when Tokai Zhou heard that there were many horse girls with ordinary backgrounds and the same blood as her, she became more determined to join Kitano's team!

As long as she was on Coach Kitano's team, she wouldn't be looked down upon, right? Zhou still had a bit of an inferiority complex, especially since she came from a rural area in Hokkaido. She longed for a team that treated everyone equally, without distinction.

"To sum up, that's why I'm here this time! Trainer Kitano, please allow me to join your team!"
