The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

"Then that's it. Please, Aldan."

"Well, have fun fishing, Trainer-san—"

Ardan waved at Kitano as he left, watching him disappear from his sight. A moment later, however, Shanxin's head popped out from the side. Curiously, he turned to Ardan and asked, "I didn't expect Ardan-sister to be so reassured to let Trainer-kun leave. I thought you were the one most reluctant to let Trainer-kun interact with everyone."

"Sinxin, this is the first thing I want to teach you—never keep your man too close to you."

However, Ardan smiled shyly when he heard this. Now, after officially confirming his relationship and future with Kitano, Ardan has become more and more accepting of this identity, and constantly derives endless joy from this identity - even if he hasn't seen the other person, he knows that the other person is thinking about him in his heart, so Ardan doesn't worry about Kitano's other problems at all.

Nowadays, Aldan puts more energy into taking care of her body. She wants to survive her most dangerous period so that she can spend a happy future with her beloved.

Even so, Aldan was prepared for pessimism, but now she no longer worried about these things to the point of becoming ill. Instead, she conveyed many of her thoughts to the believers.

Ardan's idea is that if Shanxin's level in love can be half of her level, even if she really leaves in the future, Shanxin must at least ensure her own status and that of the Mejiro family under the pressure of the two daughters of the Yuyu family.

To this end, Aldan spared no effort in imparting his methods and strategies to his most favored sister, Shanxin. Turning to Shanxin, he smiled and said, "Make sure the person you like has you in their heart at all times, but don't force them to always have you in their eyes—they're two different things."

"If you keep staring at someone, no matter how beautiful they are, there will be a gap after a while. So you should give the person you like some space."

"Sure enough, I can't compare to Sister Aldan."

The believer gave a bitter smile when she heard this. Ever since she reached an agreement with Aldan, the believer has returned to normal and no longer has dark thoughts like before.

The bright side eventually overwhelmed the dark side. Now, when Shanxin realized that his sister and Kitano were inseparable, and after receiving Aldan's permission and approval, he no longer competed with his sister.

My sister is such a pitiful person... Why should I fight her to the death? Am I really going to snatch away my sister's last chance to change her fate? Just to snatch a man?

Such a cruel thing, a believer would never do. And Sister Aldan had promised that no matter what her final fate was, she could eat meat with Sister Aldan. The trainer had Sister Aldan's share, and so would she.

Thinking this way, the believer decided not to fight anymore. His goal had already been achieved, so what was there to fight for? He just lay down.

The believer, who is now lying flat on his back, no longer has the strong personal will he once had. He is extremely respectful to his sister and seems to be trying to make her his first wife.

"If it were me, if I had a man as good as Trainer-kun, I would probably let Trainer-kun stay at the Mejiro family forever and not want to let him out, right? I'm afraid that he will be noticed by others..."

"You..."

Ardan also found it amusing and scratched Shanxin's nose. Shanxin immediately asked after a chuckle, "But, Ardan-sister... did you sense that? It seems that Trainer-san didn't just come to fish with Xing-chan during this training camp, but also wanted to bring us along, didn't he?"

"Hmm... I think this matter has something to do with Cao Shangfei, who is about to participate in the Classic Triple Crown."

Ardan nodded. As someone who had always been by Kitano's side, he knew his every move intimately. He naturally understood that Kitano's fear was not without reason. He immediately said, "Trainer-kun has had a lot on his plate lately. Sister Shanxin, we must also do our best to help relieve some of his stress."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I've arranged everyone's rooms. Believer, take a look. Should there be any problems?"

Ardan quickly put the matter aside and arranged her room for the believer. The believer didn't care much about it. After all, if she didn't do her sister's work well enough, it would be the same no matter who took over.

But...why can't I see Sister Aldan's name on this schedule?

The believer was slightly stunned when she saw this, and the next moment, she suddenly thought of a possibility. Her cheeks turned red, and she subconsciously looked at her sister, but she was facing Aldan's equally slightly blushing cheeks.

"Shh... don't tell anyone."

Chapter 321: The Fisherman Becomes the Fished

Meanwhile, Kitano and Qingyun Tiankong had already found a spot and were about to begin their fishing trip. Each of them had a fishing rod, and they sat in a deserted spot, beginning a long journey against time.

"It's so quiet... There's no one else around. It feels so different from my usual training camp."

"Because Aldan booked this place in advance." Facing Qingyun Tiankong's words beside him, Kitano inexplicably felt that this line was a little familiar. If it was dusk now, and he and Qingyun Tiankong walked onto the street, the next plot should be about the appearance of a high-end luxury black car...

After putting these strange thoughts out of his mind, Kitano focused his gaze on the blue sky beside him. He didn't care whether he could catch any fish. For him, paying attention to the blue sky was his job as a trainer.

"Besides, our training time doesn't overlap with any other team's. This is originally the designated training location for the horse racing girls from Tresen Academy. Of course, there's no one else here now."

"Hehe, isn't this just perfect?"

Qingyun Tiankong smiled lightly upon hearing this, and turned to look at Kitano beside her, only to find that Kitano's eyes were fixed on her from beginning to end. She couldn't help but blush slightly, but still pretended to be relaxed and said: "In this case, isn't it just the two of us, Trainer-san and Xing-chan? When I think about us being able to fish like this, with only each other in our eyes, my heart is pounding——"

"I lied to you, hehe."

However, when Beiye was silent, Qingyun Tiankong denied what he had just said. However, only Qingyun Tiankong knew that whenever he spoke like this, the previous sentence was actually what he really meant.

As for the sentence he added at the end... it was just a cover-up to hide his shyness and not want to ruin the current relationship and harmony between the two of them. However, in Kitano's place, Qingyun Tiankong was not just trying to hide his thoughts... it also contained a bit of self-doubt.

However, even as she said that, Qingyun Tiankong noticed Kitano's eyes staring at her from the corner of her eye. She felt a little uncomfortable and whispered, "Trainer-san, although I'm also a pretty horse girl, aren't there many more beautiful horse girls in the team? You don't have to stare at me like that, right?"

"When fishing, you should focus all your attention on the rod and pay attention to every movement of the rod, otherwise you won't catch any fish."

"It doesn't matter. I never expected to catch any fish in the first place."

But Kitano chuckled and shook his head when he heard this. Although he planned to take Cao Shangfei out to relax this time, the fundamental reason was his promise to go fishing with Qingyun Tiankong. Moreover, Kitano also planned to take this opportunity to get closer to Qingyun Tiankong and enhance their relationship.

After all, although they are of the same generation as the Holy King, the relationship between the Holy King and Kitano no longer needs to be glued together or grown through words, but Xing-chan does need it.

People with low self-esteem need more words to make them feel at ease. And Kitano happens to be very good at this. He has experience in getting along with people with low self-esteem and is sure that he can do it well.

So, Kitano cast his eyes on the fishing rod in front of him and said with a chuckle, "This is not the first time I've gone fishing with you, Xing-chan. Every time, you catch a bucket full of lively fish, while I have nothing here."

"I'm not good at fishing to begin with, especially compared to an expert like you, Xing-chan. I just look like an ape who can cast a fishing rod."

"Hehe, you can't say that." Qingyun Tiankong was indeed in a much better mood after receiving Kitano's praise. His tail was wagging happily, but he still said in a relaxed manner: "Trainer-san is a genius. Even Xing-chan can learn to fish, so Trainer-san can do it too."

"Ah... I've never been a genius. To me, you, Xing-chan, are the genius." Kitano immediately seized the opportunity and encouraged Qingyun Tiankong in disguise, saying, "Whether it's being a horse girl or fishing... Even if Xing-chan isn't a genius, you're much better than me now."

"I think even if we ask the Holy King or Aldan to come, they won't be stronger than you, Xing-chan."

"Trainer-san, are you referring to fishing or competition?" Qingyun Tiankong felt heavy in his heart after hearing this, but facing Kitano's words, he couldn't help but ask.

In response to this, Kitano simply smiled and said, "Probably both."

"At least for me, I don't value talent or bloodline. If a horse girl's talent and bloodline can't be fully transformed into strength, then they are just empty talk."

"It's like we're fishing right now. Even if I'm what you call a 'gifted person,' Xing-chan, it doesn't change the fact that you're better than me right now. I can't even catch a single fish next to you."

"..." However, Kitano's words unexpectedly did not receive a response from Qingyun Tiankong beside him. For a moment, Kitano wondered if he had said something wrong, and subconsciously looked at Qingyun Tiankong beside him.

However, at this moment, Qingyun Tiankong's face was completely glanced away, and Kitano could not see Qingyun Tiankong's expression at all.

But soon, accompanied by a heavy feeling from the fishing rod, Kitano immediately came back to his senses.

"Hoshi-chan! I've got a fish on the hook! Come help me!"

"Ah? Yes, are there any fish? I'll be right there!"

Qingyun Tiankong, who had just turned her head away because of Kitano's words to hide her blushing cheeks due to unprecedented joy, immediately ran forward and grabbed the fishing rod with Kitano. With the help of Qingyun Tiankong, the horse girl, everything that followed became much easier.

"Don't be anxious, Trainer-san. When you're reeling in your fishing rod, don't try to fight the fish in the water. The fish in the water are very strong. Sometimes, even a horse girl with a physique three times that of a human would find it very difficult to fight a large fish in the water."

"You have to wait until it's almost done struggling, then slowly reel it in, catching it when it has no strength left, like this..."

Qingyun Tiankong, who had immediately fallen into the mood of fishing, seemed to have forgotten to keep a distance from Kitano. He took Kitano's hand holding the reel and slowly guided Kitano to pull the hooked fish ashore. He whispered in Kitano's ear, "Just like this - OK! It's hooked!"

"The first fish!" Kitano was also overjoyed. Facing the first fish he had caught by himself, he seemed extremely happy. Although the fish was not big and looked only half the length of Kitano's forearm, it was enough to make Kitano happy.

Soon, Kitano and Qingyun Tiankong put the fish into the bucket they had prepared long ago. Qingyun Tiankong looked at the lively fish and said to Kitano with a smile, "See, Trainer-san is a quick learner. Even without Xing-chan, you'll definitely be able to catch big fish in the future, okay?"

"I'm still a long way from here." Although Kitano was happy, he still did not forget to encourage Qingyun Tiankong and said softly: "I still cannot do without Xingjiang's guidance, so until I can completely grow up to be able to fish on my own, Xingjiang, please stay by my side."

"Of course, if one day in the future I can become someone more powerful than Xing-chan, I will never forget how you taught me how to fish step by step, and I will definitely make you even more powerful."

"Doesn't this mean that Trainer Sang and I are always together?" Qingyun Tiankong also found it funny and couldn't help but speak.

However, just that one sentence made Qingyun Tiankong realize belatedly that there was some ambiguity in his words just now. Looking at Kitano's subtle gaze, Qingyun Tiankong immediately reacted.

"Oh, that, that accident—it was you, Trainer-san, who took me away!"

"Anyway, please forget about that joke, Trainer-san. We still have to continue fishing. Tonight's dinner is all up to us."

Having said this, Qingyun Tiankong immediately returned to her seat and picked up her fishing rod again. Judging from the swaying tail behind her, Qingyun Tiankong was feeling both nervous and happy.

This should be considered a success, right? Kitano was also a little confused. He only judged that this love scumbag had indeed broken his own defense just now, but he was not sure what Xingjiang was thinking now.

But at least, she shouldn't hate him.

"Ah, Xing-chan, the fish is hooked."

"Huh? Ah, I, I know."

It was only after Kitano's reminder that Qingyun Tiankong, who was in a state of confusion, noticed the feeling coming from his fishing rod. He subconsciously pulled the rod up, but soon felt a heavy and loose feeling.

"Ah... it escaped." Seeing Qingyun Tiankong's dazed expression, Kitano knew that the fish had gotten off the hook. Seeing that Qingyun Tiankong seemed a little dazed, he said comfortingly: "It's okay, Xing-chan, it's a pity, but you will definitely catch more next time."

"Yes."

Yes, Xingjiang, the fish here... is off the hook.

But... Trainer-san, your "fish" has taken the bait.

Qingyun Tiankong was retracting her line while she kept thinking in her heart. She knew that what affected her performance was her beating heart at the moment, and the source of all this... was because of the man beside her.

What Qingyun Tiankong couldn't accept even more was why she, who was so determined, "took the bait" so quickly!

Could it be that I am one of those stupid fish in the pond?! Qingyun Tiankong cried out in her heart with great reluctance, but at this moment, she looked at the only stupid fish in Beiye's bucket and always felt vaguely that perhaps she was now... just like that fish.

Chapter 322: The current team has a tacit understanding to harm Kitano

The fishing trip with Qingyun Tiankong lasted until dusk, when Kitano and Xingjiang returned to the training ground with a full load. At that time, they just happened to meet the bodyguards of the Mejiro family, who were carrying out boxes of barbecue supplies and had prepared a grand barbecue dinner for Kitano and his group.

Although the fish caught by Kitano and Qingyun Tiankong seemed very weak, they were still used by Aldan as the main course of the barbecue dinner. Soon, with a grand banquet, this overnight stay gradually became as relaxing as a vacation for a rich lady and her friends.

"By the way...why don't I see Aldan-senpai and Trainer-san? They were here from the beginning?"

While Qingyun Tiankong was enjoying his fish, he immediately noticed that Kitano was no longer around the campfire, and even Aldan was gone. He felt something was wrong for a moment.

But on the other side, Qingyun Tiankong looked again and found that Shanxin was still here, Good Opera, Grasshopper, Rice Bath... almost all the horse girls she thought had a good impression of Kitano, except Aldan and Kitano, were here.

For a moment, Qingyun Tiankong hesitated, wondering if he was overthinking it... After all, everyone liked Trainer Sang so much, so if none of them could find out, it shouldn't be that bad, right?

And if he had found out, he probably wouldn't be so calm. He would have been looking for someone more anxiously than her, right?

Thinking of this, Qingyun Tiankong temporarily put aside his doubts and focused his gaze on the place where everyone was gathered - at this moment, Sakura Jinwang was challenging the performance of super spicy oysters.

"Really? Sakura-san? This is oysters dipped in super spicy chili peppers and minced garlic, and they're grilled for over ten minutes!"

"No problem! No matter what difficulties you face, as long as you leave them to me, the grade chairman, there will be no problem at all - all right! Charge forward!!"

……

Where were Aldan and Kitano at this moment? They were walking slowly along the beach, bathed in the sunset breeze. On this beach, where only the two of them were, they had a long-awaited moment of their own.

"The sea breeze... always reminds me of some memories. Back then, it seemed like you, the trainer, took me to see the sea many times like this."

Standing in the sea breeze, Aldan turned his head to look at Kitano, who was sitting on the beach beside him, and chuckled softly, "I always like looking at the sea... Trainer-san, the sea breeze always helps me wake up. It allows me, who was always prone to fainting at the time, to open my eyes as wide as possible to see everything."

"And you haven't been unconscious in months now..., Aldan."

Kitano, who was sitting on the beach, also smiled at Aldan at this time. If there was any news that would make Kitano happier than Shengwang and Xingjiang winning the debut competition, it might be Aldan's healthy body during this period.

It was as if... it was really just as the head of the Mejiro family said. Kitano never thought that she could be the panacea for Aldan's illness. As long as Aldan was by her side, Aldan would never look sickly like before.

Although... Aldan still looks very fragile now, there is no doubt that under Kitano's gaze, Aldan's complexion has been getting better day by day during this period of time. Now, not only does Aldan smile more often, but his complexion has also improved a lot.

"Well, when I went home last Christmas, the attending doctor told me that my body had recovered very well."

"I've also been eating medicinal food lately... I don't know if it's just a psychological effect, but I've tried these things before, but now they seem to be more effective than before. I slowly feel like I'm starting to gain more strength."

As Aldan said this, she slowly sat down next to Kitano. Next to Kitano, she didn't need to worry about her image as a young lady. She was just the person next to him, it was that simple.

"Could it be... this is also your amazing ability, Trainer-san? Have you ever had such a deal with the Three Goddesses?"

"I remember there was, but it seems that the Three Goddesses have only just agreed to my request."

Kitano stared at Aldan beside him, not hiding anything about the past. He said to Aldan, "Actually... there were several times when I served as the Mejiro family's horse girl. At that time, I didn't have the confidence to change your fate, but I was also worried about your condition. So, on several occasions, I approached you as the Mejiro family's trainer."

"I see." Ardan suddenly understood something, finally understanding some of the things he had found strange. He said, "No wonder McQueen, Dob, and Guangming were all pestering you, Trainer Sang... Was it because you were their trainer?"

"In fact, except for Ryan, I have already been the trainer of all the horse girls from the Mejiro family once, including this time."

Kitano admitted this openly, and seemed to notice Aldan's subtle expression. Then, Kitano immediately realized something and added, "But I can guarantee that the only person I've been paying attention to from the beginning to the end is you, Aldan."

"That's not the point."

Upon hearing this, Aldan immediately regained his gentle smile, rested his head gently on Kitano's shoulder, and said softly, "Besides... I'm not angry. I know that Trainer-san has always had a place for me in his heart."

"Besides...if Trainer-san only has me in his heart, that would be bad. I don't know how to explain it to Sister Shanxin."

"Huh? Does this matter have anything to do with Shanxin?" Kitano asked without reacting.

"Of course I did." Ardan glanced helplessly at Kitano's face and chuckled, "Could it be that Trainer-san didn't notice it before? In fact, before I remembered everything in the past, Shanxin had already fallen in love with you before me."

"To her, you were the first person to inspire her, and the first person to give her the confidence to run with everyone... Even though she hasn't debuted yet, you're already her savior."

"I...Trainer-san, actually, I've already made a decision with Shanxin, and I'll tell you now."
