The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

But I... until now I still don't know what kind of feelings I have for that man.

I even grow faster than grass for my entire life... Even I don't understand why.

The Holy King closed his eyes, but Kitano's figure appeared involuntarily in his mind again. However, after the secret was revealed, the Holy King still did not feel as blushing as before when looking at this face.

But... my heart seems to be aching a little bit. Why is that...

Chapter 308: Is Rudolph "henpecked"?

Compared to the questioning of his feelings by Sheng Wang and Kusanagi Fei in the team room, the atmosphere of the conversation between Kitano and Rudolph in the student union was much more harmonious, but this was also understandable.

After all, after the "misunderstanding" between Rudolph and Kitano that had lasted for so long was resolved, Rudolph no longer needed to pretend to be unfamiliar with Kitano as before, but could get along with Kitano as before. This made Rudolph in a good mood, and he would definitely not have to deal with documents as "painfully" every day as before.

As long as he keeps thinking about his trainer in his heart and knows that his trainer has long since forgiven him, and their relationship has returned to the happy times of the past, it is easy to imagine the healing feeling it brings to Rudolph.

During this period, although Rudolph and Kitano did not have many opportunities to meet, most of the time Rudolph stayed in the student union to handle affairs, or went to the family to discuss preparations for his future as the symbolic head of the family, but Rudolph was undoubtedly satisfied during this period.

Because she is no longer confused, and after determining her future goals, she is more motivated in everything she does, and her efficiency has improved a lot. She no longer needs to be as harsh on herself as before, but she can still handle a large number of affairs.

And today, when Rudolph heard that Kitano was also coming to the student union, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do. If it weren't for maintaining her image as the student union president, who knows what extreme behavior she would have done.

"To summarize, our team's debut and the rest of this year's schedule are all here, Rudolph, take a look."

"Okay, Sakura Shinou and Kusanagi Tobi's match schedule, right? I've got it all written down here."

Facing Kitano beside him, Luduo pretended to be calm and focused on the documents in his hands, so as not to let his emotions be affected by Kitano's presence. After all, this was not a private environment for the two of them.

On the other side, Qi Cao and Bai Ren were staring at them. Lu Duo, the symbol, also suppressed his impulse and looked at the documents sent by Kitano. He said softly, "In the next two months, Sakura Jinwang will hold the GII Keio Cup Championship (11 meters) in November, and the Kurosaki Sho pre-op race (1400 meters) in December."

"Well, you really trust Sakura Shinou's strengths in short-distance events. She just won her second race, right? Why not just let her participate in the GII-level short-distance events?"

"As long as it's 1200 meters and 1400 meters, I believe Jin Wang will definitely win, especially in this kind of competition that only people of the same period can participate." Kitano also nodded. When he told her the news that Jin Wang was going to participate in the GII event next month, Jin Wang was also shocked, but soon he threw himself into training with full energy. He was very confident that Jin Wang could win.

"Since you said so, I have no objection." Rudolph nodded, but soon she focused her attention on Cao Shangfei's arrangements.

"It's just... Trainer-kun, Fei Cao Shang Fei just debuted this week, and your current schedule is a bit tight... Are you planning to let her participate in the G-I Asahi Cup Future Championship at the end of the year?"

"Excuse me, Cao Shangfei has only recently debuted, so participating in the GI competition is not in line with the rules. And secondly, does participating in the GI competition mean that you are confident in Cao Shangfei's ability?"

"You could say that, but this is only a theoretical arrangement. Cao Shangfei is currently recuperating, so whether he can make it to next month's competition is still a question."

Kitano knew that the tournament he had arranged was actually very stressful for Fei on the Grass, especially since Fei's current condition was less than ideal. It was only an ideal arrangement. He nodded and said, "But this match... I have great confidence in Fei on the Grass. If she can participate, she will definitely win."

"But the problem is that the only tournament Cao Shangfei can participate in now is his debut tournament. If he can't make it to next month's tournament, he can only participate in one tournament in November, but that won't bring him enough popularity to participate in the GI tournament."

Having said that, Kitano also cast his gaze towards Luduo Yuzhi, who also understood what he meant. A subtle smile appeared on his face, and he asked tentatively, "So, do you want me to use my position as student council president to recommend Kusagami Fei to participate in the GI Asahi Cup Future Championship at the end of the year?"

"This is the only way." Kitano smiled bitterly. This was the first time he had asked Rudolph for help. In the previous round with Rudolph, as the Japanese Horse King, Rudolph could participate in any event he wanted, and no one could stop him. However, Kitano had never done anything like asking Rudolph to use his authority.

However, this time, in order to help Ms. Kusa win the first GI championship in her life and her real horse body, Kitano also took great pains. For this, he even came to Rudolph for help.

"It doesn't matter even if you're the most unorthodox person. As long as you can participate, it's fine. Regardless of whether Xiaocao can win the competition or not, as long as you can participate, I owe you this favor. I will definitely make it up to you, Rudolph."

"Don't be like that. It's not that difficult."

Rudolph, who was always particularly soft-hearted towards Kitano, never considered refusing Kitano's pleading. It was just that... she had been waiting for Kitano to say that he would make it up to her.

Seeing that Kitano had said this, Rudolph also got what he wanted, and he smiled softly and said, "Let's talk about compensation later. Leave this matter to me. Don't worry, Trainer, I will do my best to help you get it."

As Rudolph said this, he inadvertently cast his eyes towards Kitano beside him - at this moment, Kitano was right next to her, next to the student council president's seat where she was sitting. With Rudolph sitting in the student council president's seat, Kitano looked like her secretary.

It has to be said that this kind of fantasy made Rudolf salivate. If Qi Cao and Bai Ren had not been there, she would have already started to make moves on her "secretary".

Of course, even now she was still moving. Rudolph's tail had already hooked onto Kitano's thigh. Although Kitano appeared calm on the surface, he actually felt helpless about the harassment from his "boss."

Fortunately, they were all people who had lived together in the past, and Rudolph had never done such a thing to Kitano in the past.

But, forget it, after all, Qi Cao and Bai Ren are still here, so I should give him some face as the president. Besides, no matter what, I still need her help, so I can just endure this level of "harassment".

"Well, everything about the competition is over..."

At this moment, Rudolph seemed to share Kitano's thoughts. She raised her head slightly and looked at Qicao and Narita Bairen, whose faces were distorted as if they had eaten a lemon. With an extremely kind smile, she said softly, "Qicao, Bairen, can you please step out for a moment? I need to speak to the trainer."

"Please don't do anything out of line."

However, Qi Cao and Bai Ren, who had long been unable to stand staying in the student union office for even a second, knew what the president was up to by asking them to leave at this time, even if they didn't want to.

After all, they had heard everything they should and shouldn't have heard at the door of the hospital ward... Although Qicao and Bai Ren also knew that these words were deliberately said to them by their president so that they would not think about unnecessary things in the future.

As it turned out, Rudolf's method was very effective. Since that incident, Rudolf's temper has improved a lot, even gentler than before. He no longer has that majestic feeling towards everyone, as if he had become a legendary good president overnight.

However, both Qi Cao and Bai Ren knew that all these changes were due to the president and Kitano confessing their feelings for each other, the legendary power of "love"...

So in this case, since the president has said so, it would be better not to disturb them... The president has been very tired recently, so let them get along well.

I don’t know why, but I always feel a little sour. What’s going on?

Qi Cao and Bai Ren exchanged glances before leaving the Student Union with bitter smiles. As the door to the Student Union closed, Kitano felt the tail wrapped around his thigh suddenly change direction and begin to poke at his hand without restraint.

"Well, Trainer-san, can we talk about compensation now?"

"Is it necessary to be so quick, Rudolph?"

Kitano's eyebrows twitched as he faced Rudolph, who was already eager to stuff his tail into his hands. He couldn't help but ask, "As for compensation, can't we wait until we're both free later?"

"First of all, Trainer-kun, now that it's just the two of us, you should call me Luna."

However, Rudolph did not give Kitano time to refute. Instead, he smiled at Kitano, unable to hide the impatience in his eyes. He said softly, "Also, I have already thought of the content of the compensation. There is no problem in fulfilling it now, right?"

"Okay, now, Trainer-kun, sit down and I'm going to tell you what I want in compensation."

"Okay, you talk, and I'll listen."

Kitano had no choice but to find a place to sit down. However, before Kitano could leave, Rudolph grabbed Kitano who was about to leave, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"You sit here, Trainer-kun."

Rudolph patted his thigh, indicating that this was where Kitano should sit. However, Kitano's eyebrows jumped, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

This Rudolph, it seems, has forgotten that he is the trainer? When did she get the illusion that she could play with him as if he were her secretary?

Even in the past, Kitano was always at Rudolph's beck and call, but even then, Rudolph, a useless man, knew that he could not live without Kitano, and he still listened to Kitano on many things.

Especially when it comes to "how to be the president," Kitano has Rudolph completely under his thumb. And facing Rudolph's now overconfident provocation, Kitano feels the need to remind her who the trainer is.

So, Kitano's expression twitched slightly, and facing the smug Rudolph, he suddenly smiled and said;

"Okay, I'll sit here."

Before Rudolph could react, Kitano grabbed Rudolph's moving tail with his backhand. Rudolph trembled all over when his sensitive part was grabbed. The next moment, Kitano actually sat on Rudolph's thigh and stared at her.

However, facing Kitano's cheek so close to him, Rudolph, with a stiff expression, almost lost his temper in an instant, his cheeks suddenly turned red with shame, and he was knocked down on the spot by Kitano's series of moves.

But... although I'm so shy, I like it so much... Rudolph has such strange thoughts in his mind at this moment.

Chapter 309: Rudolph's Degeneration, Transformed into Sad Luna

Rudolf never knew who had the greater advantage in the dominant position between him and Kitano in the past and in the present.

At least, in Rudolph's mind... he had always been the dominant one. After all, in his past memories, Rudolph had indeed been very dominant towards Kitano. Not only did she want to be Kitano's racehorse girl, but she also wanted to be his trainer, imparting the family-honored knowledge of training to him and quickly transforming him into a qualified trainer.

Therefore, in the past memories, Rudolf often yelled at Kitano in the early and even middle stages, and Kitano at that time was also very honest. No matter what Rudolf scolded him, he accepted it all, and when facing Rudolf's teachings to him, he never refuted Rudolf's views.

Over time, Rudolf did feel that his impression that Kitano was actually the stronger one and that Kitano dared not go against his ideas seemed to be deeply rooted.

But Rudolph obviously forgot that in fact, in the later period of their relationship, to be precise, after Rudolph became the student council president, Rudolph obeyed Kitano's orders in many things, especially in the process of how to be a good president. In order to change Rudolph's "tyrant" image, Rudolph accepted all of Kitano's "training".

As it turned out, Kitano's training was very effective. Not only did Rudolph become a good president, but his respect for Kitano also increased day by day. Until that time, Kitano's identity as a "trainer" seemed to have finally gained the respect and status he deserved.

Although the time they spent together in this later period was not long, if it was said that Kitano was afraid of Rudolph... that was only based on Kitano's guilt and fear that Rudolph would blame him.

But apart from this, you say Kitano is afraid of Rudolph? That is simply impossible.

Even with Rudolph in the early to mid-last episode, Kitano Ryuichi had his share of arguments with her. Even clay figures have tempers, let alone the Rudolph of the past. Even a good-tempered Kitano had argued with Rudolph several times.

As for Rudolph in the later period… what Rudolph? What student council president? Isn't he still a piece of braised tofu that can't do anything without him?

So, would Kitano be afraid of Rudolph? Or would he be afraid of Rudolph's "teasing"? That's impossible.

As for how Rudolph dared to treat him harshly... Do you believe that he didn't give Rudolph a midnight snack when she was working overtime? Let's see who will cry, Kitano or Rudolph.

Of course, there was no need to resort to such cruel means right now. Kitano only needed to catch Rudolph by the tail, and then make the fake play real for a while, and Rudolph would be helpless all of a sudden.

"So…are you sure you want me to sit here?"

"Please feel free to do so."

Rudolph, who was caught by Kitano, lowered his head with a red face and admitted his mistake.

Facing Rudolph, who had finally become well-behaved again, Kitano showed the adult's understanding of a good boy who had corrected his mistakes. He quickly let go of Rudolph's tail, then slowly sat down in a seat directly opposite Rudolph. Facing Rudolph, who was blushing, he immediately said, "So, your compensation shouldn't be just this, right?"

"Of course not, Trainer-kun."

Rudolph, having regained some composure, naturally wanted more than just Kitano sitting on her lap for Kitano's "compensation." Furthermore, while Rudolph seemed to have many options, she couldn't really choose anything too extreme; that would simply waste the favor.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Rudolph also raised his head slightly, and said to Kitano with a look of expectation in his eyes: "Then... on Christmas Eve, Trainer, can you spend it with me?"

"Christmas?"

When he heard about this special festival, Kitano's brows twitched slightly, and he was obviously thinking about what this special day represented in Tresen College.

However, it was precisely because of this knowledge that Kitano felt that this matter was actually a bit troublesome. Because on this special day, if the horse racing girls on his team made a similar request, he would not create a shadow clone.

But Kitano also knew that Rudolph wanted to be with him on Christmas, and what he meant was that he simply wanted to go on a date with him. This kind of thing had happened before, but at that time, Kitano had no one else to spend Christmas with besides Rudolph.

Kitano didn't want to refuse Rudolph's request, but the situation seemed to leave him with no other options. After a moment's thought, Kitano tentatively asked, "Would it be okay for me to spend time with everyone on the team?"

"Of course not, Trainer-kun."

As expected, when Kitano asked this, Rudolph's face suddenly fell. It was as if he had shed his tough exterior in front of Kitano, and now, with a speed that surprised Kitano, Rudolph suddenly transformed into the "Sad Luna" that Kitano was familiar with.

"It's just the two of us, the two of us. Isn't that how it used to be?"

"But things are not like before, Luna." Kitano also smiled bitterly. If he could choose, what would it matter if he spent a day with one person? But the current situation was unrealistic.

Apart from anything else, Aldan definitely had the same idea as Rudolph, and might even be planning to take Kitano to the Mejiro family to meet the head of the Mejiro family again.

Kitano would not easily agree to a promise that he could not keep, especially for someone like Rudolph who easily got upset. Therefore, Kitano could only compromise as much as possible.

"Also, taking this opportunity, I think it would be beneficial for you and everyone on my team to become better. They'll need you to take care of a lot of things in the future, so..."

"I don't want it. It's fine on any other day, but not on Christmas Day!"

However, when Rudolph heard that Kitano was not going to agree to his request, he really started to act awkward - the student council president, the symbol of the next generation head of the family, was now acting like a child in front of Kitano.

"I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it. I just want to stay with Trainer-kun. No one else can interfere."

"I finally have the chance to spend Christmas with Trainer-kun again. How can I let others disturb me? I don't want it."

"I want to spend Christmas with Trainer-kun, otherwise I'll be upset with Luna, hum——"

However, facing Rudolph's series of coquettish, angry and arrogant reactions at this moment, outsiders might be shocked, but Kitano had long been accustomed to it, and even found it quite interesting as it had not been seen for a long time.

Kitano had never really known what kind of existence she was to Rudolph. Was she simply someone she loved and was willing to take care of, or was she more like an old father? At least in Act 1, Kitano, in his forties, walking with Rudolph, certainly didn't look like her trainer, but rather like her father.

In the face of Rudolph's coquettish behavior, Kitano is even more patient than his old father. Fortunately, Rudolph's real father does not know about these things, otherwise he would probably cry with Rudolph's mother. It is really pitiful to have such a daughter.

After Rudolph made a fuss for a while and Kitano admired him for a while, Rudolph slowly stopped making a fuss. He looked at Kitano's teasing eyes, his cheeks slightly reddened, but he couldn't help asking, "Is it similar? I tried to imitate the East China Sea Emperor's usual coquettish behavior, but it seems to be of no use."

"Trainer-kun is such a heartless man! I did all this, but he didn't even react. What a terrible trainer-kun."

"We're both on the same page, aren't we?" Kitano found it amusing. Rudolph's mention of the Emperor infuriated him, and he immediately asked, "Don't you know that the Emperor's condition has been terrible lately? I've been trying to comfort her, hoping she'll recover soon, but how come you, the Emperor's mother, haven't said a word?"

"Actually, the Emperor always says that I am more like a father than a mother." Rudolf was slightly dazed when he mentioned the Emperor, as if he just remembered that a familiar figure was missing recently. And when both he and Kitano mentioned it so casually, Rudolf remembered what was missing.

Yes, Di Wang, this familiar child, has not appeared in the student union for a long time. If Di Wang had not always attended training on time, but just seemed very depressed, this problem would definitely not have been dragged on until now.

But...what could Rudolf do? She certainly knew that both she and Beiye held important positions in the emperor's heart, and their future would surely be difficult for the emperor to accept.

But, could it be that, out of consideration for the emperor's feelings, she had given up the happiness that was so close to her? This was impossible.

Therefore, Rudolf planned to be selfish this time. No matter what the emperor did, she would never let him go. However, Rudolf also did not want anything to happen to the emperor.

"But, perhaps to the current emperor, you, Trainer-kun, are even more important."

"Oh? Is that so?" Facing Rudolf's somewhat subtle tone at this moment, Kitano didn't think so. He had only known the Emperor of the East China Sea for a few months. How could he compare to Rudolf's years of getting along with the Emperor?

This was obviously unrealistic. Although, recently, Kitano's concern for the emperor was actually more than Rudolph's...but when it came to the depth of their relationship, Kitano couldn't guarantee it.

However, seeing Kitano's unawareness, Rudolph was furious. He stepped forward and rubbed Kitano's cheek, saying with great dissatisfaction, "That's it! Trainer! Really! Why is the emperor so concerned about you? I've been with her for so long, and now she cares about you even more!"

"Ahhh, this is so frustrating! How did you do that, Trainer-kun?! Tell me now!"

However, facing Rudolph's face-rubbing attack, Kitano had no killing power. However, at this moment, suddenly, the sound of the student union door opening attracted the attention of both of them.
