The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

——This guy is actually quite caring. I never noticed before that he is very good at taking care of people who are not feeling well.

By the way…was it because she had never bothered him before that she didn't fully understand his strengths? He was so good at taking care of the unwell, but she tried her best to not cause him any trouble in order to relieve his stress. It was surprising that she didn't realize his strengths until today.

Was I really at a disadvantage before? I only knew this guy knew how to take care of others, but I didn't expect him to be even better at taking care of those who couldn't even take care of themselves. So, when he was with me, he hadn't given his all?

"Ah! Seiou-san! And Trainer Kitano! We found you!"

"This voice...Ulala-san?!"

However, just as the Saint King was lost in thought, a sudden call brought her back to her senses. Not far away, she saw a petite figure with pink hair and casual clothes running towards her quickly.

As soon as Ulala arrived, the Holy King's face suddenly changed. The situation she was most worried about happened!

But there was no place to hide now. She saw Ulala coming in front of her and Kitano, and asked with a look of joy, "It's really Shengwang classmate! And trainer Kitano!"

"Ulala, why are you here?" Kitano didn't expect to meet Ulala here, but Ulala said with a smile: "I saw that Shengwang didn't go home so late, so I asked to go out to look for him! I heard from Shanxin that it was Trainer Kitano who asked Shengwang out, and he also asked for his address!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect to meet Sheng Wang classmate as soon as I left the school gate! Ulala is so lucky——"

"Have you reached the school gate yet?"

The Holy King just realized that while he was lost in thought, the two of them had unknowingly walked to the school gate.

This road should be very long...how come I arrived here without feeling tired?

"By the way, Seiou-san went out to eat with Trainer Kitano. Why did they come back so late?"

The pure Ulala was most curious about one thing: what on earth had the Holy King and Kitano been doing out for so long? After all, dinner shouldn't have taken that long, right? Even Ulala knew about this.

But soon, Ulala's cherry blossom-shaped pink eyes quickly noticed the Holy King's current attire - wearing Trainer Kitano's coat, flat shoes, and most importantly, the Holy King's bulging belly.

All these factors combined made the innocent Ulala suddenly understand. She asked with great joy, "Shengwang classmate—are you pregnant? Could it be that when you went out with Trainer Kitano, you were actually going there to get pregnant with Trainer Kitano's baby?"

"..." x2

However, Ulala's question made Kitano and Sheng Wang look at each other in confusion. After a while, they both burst into laughter. Sheng Wang chuckled and said, "What are you talking about, Ulala classmate? I just ate too much and my belly looks big. I'm not pregnant with a baby."

"Oh... is that so?"

When Sheng Wang said this, Ulala suddenly realized what was going on. She couldn't help but show a bit of disappointment on her face. She scratched her hair sheepishly and said, "I thought Sheng Wang was pregnant with Trainer Kitano's baby. Ulala, I always thought you two were very loving."

"Even my parents, Ulala, sometimes don't have as good a relationship as Sheng Wang and Trainer Kitano. Ulala has always been looking forward to it. You two are very suitable for marriage."

"..." However, Ulala's words made the Holy King fall into silence again. The words of this pure and innocent horse girl once again brought the issue that the Holy King had been avoiding to the surface, and this time, she was touched more than any other time before.

Because the Holy King knew very well that Ulala was the purest existence in the entire Tresen Academy, and if even she felt that her relationship with Kitano was unusual... didn't that mean that the relationship between her and Kitano, in the eyes of others, had actually long been an established fact?

Then…if she really announced that she would marry him…wouldn’t it be natural that everyone in the entire Tresen Academy would react in a way that was natural?

For a moment, such thoughts emerged in the Holy King's mind, and even she herself didn't know why she cared about everyone's reactions... She just felt that if her future marriage could get everyone's blessings, perhaps it would be a... very happy thing?

When she thought of this, the Holy King's heart, which had been restless all day, couldn't help but speed up a few times, so that now when she thought about the fact that she agreed to Kitano's proposal, a feeling of joy would surge in her heart.

This is a long-lost, heart-pounding feeling. The Holy King Halo finally tasted it after a long time, that kind of heartbeat feeling like being in love.

Chapter 389: My First-Class Princess

"We'll be back soon, Ulala-san. Don't worry about us. I can rest in the team room after I'm out of bounds, but you can't. So go back and rest quickly."

"Well! If Sheng Wang is alright, I'll be back! Sheng Wang and Trainer Kitano, please continue to get along well too!"

Naturally, Ulala did not distrust the Holy King's words at all. After confirming that the Holy King was fine, she returned happily the same way.

At this moment, watching Ulala leave excitedly, Kitano was inexplicably moved. He watched Ulala's departing back and said to the Holy King beside him, "What a lovely child! If only all children were as wonderful as Ulala—hiss! Don't, don't pinch her."

Before Kitano could finish, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. It was the pain of the Holy King's aura pinching his arm. Before Kitano could resist, the Holy King grabbed Kitano and walked away.

"Sit down, I need to talk to you about something."

The Holy King pulled Kitano to sit on a bench nearby. Her attitude was a bit tough and she didn't care about Kitano's personal opinion at all. However, after she and Kitano sat on the same chair, a strange silence ensued.

Fortunately, the Holy King did not let the silence last too long. After a long while, she deliberately used her hair to cover her blushing cheeks. Her tone was softer than ever before, and with a bit of trembling, she asked, "Are you serious?"

"Proposing to me...or something like that, is that really more than just talk?"

Even now, the Holy Queen still couldn't believe that Kitano had actually proposed to her. Although she had never taken this matter as a joke, now that she had regained her ability to think, the Holy Queen found Kitano's decision incredible.

If this guy really wanted to propose to her, why now? According to his personality, he would never allow anything to distract her during her pursuit of the Classic Triple Crown.

He could choose an earlier time, after all, it was not the first time that she and he lived under the same roof; he could also choose to wait until he completed the Classic Triple Crown, at which time if he proposed, the possibility of the Holy King rejecting him would not be too high.

But he chose this time, the worst possible moment, to propose to her - there must be a reason for this.

"Mo, are you the same as before? Are you leaving again for some reason?!"

"Are you sick? Is it an incurable disease? You must not give up, I, I will find a way, I will definitely-"

"Calm down, Holy King. I don't have a terminal illness, and I don't plan to leave without saying goodbye like before."

Seeing that Saint King Halo seemed to have thought of the worst possibility, Kitano did not let Saint King continue to think about this idea - if this were to get to the ears of other horse girls in the team and cause a huge misunderstanding, it would be bad.

You have to know that in today's team, all the Umamusume who still have memories of Kitano's past have now recovered their memories of the past rounds, and they have more or less guessed about Kitano's special nature. And now, if they were told that Kitano was going to reopen, they would definitely do something more ruthless than the other to keep him.

By then, Kitano would probably have to stay in the basement for the rest of his life. These horse girls would definitely use all means to prevent him from "restarting" again, and then no one would be able to save Kitano.

"Then why did you suddenly propose to me? And at this time?" The Holy King was obviously not going to be fooled by Bei Ye so easily. He stared into his eyes and asked, "Don't play dumb with me, or I will tell everyone about your proposal. Then you won't be able to be torn into pieces even if you don't want to!"

"As expected of a Saint King, he used a killer move right from the start. If he had said that a few days ago, I would have definitely given in."

The Holy King was indeed the one who knew Kitano best, and he immediately understood where Kitano's lifeline lay. It was a pity that the Holy King still knew a little less about Kitano, and their information was a little asymmetric.

Facing the now slightly anxious Holy King, Kitano, who no longer intended to conceal the truth, finally spoke up, "But... Holy King, what if most of the Umamusume in the entire team already know that I'm getting married soon?"

"Although, it wasn't with you...it was with Rudolph, Aldan, and the others."

"But it was because of this incident that I decided to propose to you. In my heart, you, Aldan, and Rudolph are equally important to me."

"That's why I feel that you should also have the right to know, and...I shouldn't have proposed to you without you."

However, when Kitano said this, the pupils of the Holy King's aura dimmed for a moment - that was because she heard that Kitano's original marriage partner was not her, but soon, her impatient attitude disappeared because of Kitano's other words.

He said that her importance in his heart was actually the same as that of Rudo Symbol and Mubai Aldan.

And the more important thing was that he decided to propose to her because he was about to marry Rudolf and Aldan. From his tone, it sounded like this was definitely not his own idea - if he could make the decision, he would definitely not choose this time.

But, because of this incident, he decided to propose to her. Does that mean... I am the only one he has proposed to?

This kind of treatment... Even Rudolf and Aldan, who he himself thought could never shake Kitano's position in his heart, had never had it, but he gave her this opportunity.

The Holy King... She thought that she was no match for Aldan or Rudolf, whether in terms of family background, or her talent... She was not as good as them. The Holy King recognized her weakness from the beginning, so she always maintained the status of "hostess" in the team.

Because the Holy King knew that as a horse girl, she could not compare to them, or even to most of the horse girls in the team. She had to use a special identity, an identity that was tied to the team, to ensure that her position would not be challenged.

In fact... after knowing that she was not the only one who had that kind of "past relationship" with Kitano, she has always felt very insecure about her position in Kitano's heart - she was very worried that the other horse girls were the same as her, and they were all Kitano's confidants.

But now, Kitano's decision finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in the Saint King's heart.

For a moment, the Holy King even felt like tears welling up in her eyes. She closed her eyes and couldn't help shedding a few tears, but she couldn't help laughing.

What?... I was so scared, afraid that I wasn't something special to that guy...

But unexpectedly, this guy really regarded her as the most important person... Obviously, she was not the most outstanding one among them, and obviously... she had never even truly expressed her love to him.

She is the most hesitant person in this team, and is also the one who is most confused about the relationship between Kitano and herself... Unexpectedly, even so, he still regards her as the most special person in his heart.

So what was there for me to worry about? My only reason for rejecting this guy had already disappeared.

"You...really...too cunning. Cunning is the only thing that's truly first-rate..."

"Hmm? Holy King, why are you crying?"

As the Holy King finished speaking with tears in his voice, Kitano noticed that the Holy King had been in tears without him knowing when. Even Kitano didn't know what kind of ups and downs the Holy King had experienced in his heart in such a short moment. He had no choice but to take out the handkerchief he carried with him and help the Holy King wipe away his tears first.

However, the moment Kitano stretched out his hand, the Holy King grabbed his wrist. The next moment, the Holy King turned his head slightly to look at Kitano, revealing a smile that was so joyful that it made him cry. He said softly, "I promise you."

"Huh?" Kitano asked a little unresponsive.

"Your proposal—I promise you that when I have finished my expedition, when we have completed our first-class journey, I will marry you."

"I... grant you the right to propose to me, the first-class one. I also grant you the right to hold me in your arms and love me like your wife. I also grant you the right to serve me alone for the rest of your life. I give you everything."

"Remember, be grateful for my gift...you...first-rate cunning fellow."

Perhaps he wanted to maintain a bit of his first-class demeanor at the last moment? However, at this moment, the Saint King Halo, who kept sobbing and talking, looked like he was moved to tears because of the proposal. He had no so-called noble pride at all. Instead, he looked like a little girl who was proposed to by someone she had loved for a long time and was moved to tears.

Facing the Holy King who was crying with joy, although he didn't know what kind of ups and downs the Holy King had experienced in his heart just now... Kitano still reacted quickly and smiled, actively holding the Holy King's hand that was holding his wrist, and gently lifted it up.

"It is my pleasure, my first-class princess."

After saying that, Kitano also left a light kiss on the back of the Holy King's hand - it was a pity that he had not prepared his diamond ring, otherwise he would definitely put it on the Holy King at this moment.

But... there will be many opportunities in the future. Next time, when there is a formal proposal, Kitano will definitely let the Holy King put his ring on his finger.

Chapter 390: The First Fight between the Holy King and Xing Jiang

"Leave Xing-chan's matter to me. I will slowly inform her about this matter, so don't worry too much. I will do my best to ensure that this matter does not affect her performance in the Classic Year."

"That's great... I feel much more at ease with you here, Saint King."

After Kitano's "proposal" to the Holy King ended with unprecedented success, Kitano discussed with the Holy King about the last person in the team who was still unaware of the news - Qingyun Tiankong.

However, for the Holy King, this matter that had troubled Kitano didn't seem too difficult. The Holy King clearly knew that Kitano couldn't tell Qingyun Tiankong such words in person, especially since Xingjiang and the Holy King had already entered the most important classic year for them.

During this time, Beiye naturally didn't want anything to distract the two women. The reason he dared to ask the Holy King out was because he knew the Holy King's character well enough and was confident he could control his emotions.

Of course, there was no such thing as 100% certainty. After all, in Kitano's subconscious mind at the time, there was a high possibility that the Holy King would reject him as usual. He was just a little confident that he could control the Holy King's emotions.

But as for Xingchan's emotions... To be honest, among the "golden generation" in the team now, apart from the Holy King whom Kitano is most familiar with, there are Xingchan, Kusanagi Fei, and the newly joined Special Week and Shenying. Kitano still doesn't dare to say that he understands them.

After all... this round is different from the previous ones. Kitano has too many horse girls to play in this round. Kitano's energy is limited, and he dares to do this because he has a sufficient understanding of most of the horse girls in the team, as well as the help of Good Opera, Rudolf and Aldan.

But why did Kitano dare to say that he knew those horse girls he had a past with? Because at that time, Kitano and his horse girls were in a one-on-one relationship!

One-on-one interaction means that Kitano's entire attention is focused on one horse girl, and all his energy is focused on only one person. Therefore, with Kitano's single-core processor physique, the effect on one person is definitely much stronger than on multiple people.

Therefore, even though there is only a little distance between him and Ms. Cao, Xingjiang can't be said to admire him very much, but it can be said that she completely trusts him. In particular, the relationship between Zhou, Shenying and him has also improved a lot - but it should not be to the extent of flying on the grass.

But even so, Kitano didn't dare to say that he knew them very well, at least not as well as the horse racing girls who had experienced previous rounds with him. Therefore, Kitano needed the assistance of the Holy King, who was more experienced in this area and was a good friend of Xingjiang.

"However, although I will help you and try my best to stabilize Xing-chan, if Xing-chan insists on coming to you to ask for an explanation, I can't stop her."

"So, before I tell Xing-chan about this, you should focus on this year's Classic Triple Crown. In a few months, the Yayoi Awards will begin, and this is what Xing-chan cares about most right now."

"She really cares about her performance in the classic year and is very eager to make you look up to her... You must not let Xing-chan down."

Clearly, Qingyun Tiankong's subtle thoughts were now practically an open secret within the team. However, precisely because of this, the Saint King, who also wanted to make a difference in the Classic Year, felt immense pressure.

Although... unlike the past, she no longer had a strong rival, Te Zi Zhou, to compete with her, but facing Qing Yun Tian Kong, the Holy King was still very unsure, especially since Qing Yun Tian Kong came into the game this time to impress Kitano, so she must have put in all her strength and not held back at all.

Therefore, the Holy King must also respond carefully - of course, she does not want Xingjiang to lose the desire to win the game because of this news. Such a victory is nothing but a humiliation for the Holy King, and it is not fair at all.

"I'll make my own judgment on this matter. By the way, when will you, Aldan, and the president's wedding be?"

"Tentatively, it's set for after this year's Arima Memorial Day." Kitano also informed the Holy King of his wedding date, saying with some emotion, "Even I didn't find out until later... Really, that's why I don't like getting involved with big families. No matter what happens, I, the person involved, am the last to know. They only inform me after they've made a decision, and I have no choice but to accept it."

"You're so ungrateful, you've got the advantage? You've got the two most promising heirs of these two great families in your hands."

While the Holy King was full of contempt for Kitano's behavior, he was constantly thinking about the time in his heart - after all, the Arima Memorial has ended, which means that the time is set for Christmas this year?

Upon hearing the time, the Holy King felt relieved. She could accept this date. At least it would be held after her classic year was over. Otherwise, she would not have time to tell Qingyun Tiankong the news slowly and gradually.

Well, there's still plenty of time...why not wait until after the chrysanthemum viewing before revealing the news to Xing-chan?

At this moment, the Holy King was even more thankful that, compared to the Japan Derby, there was still a long time left at this point - that is to say, if the Holy King could really win the Japan Derby, then she would have enough time to make up her mind to do something before the Arima Memorial.

Yes...some things...the Holy King cannot do now, but may be able to do them after the Japan Derby.

Thinking of this, the Holy King couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Kitano beside him. At this moment, her cheeks blushed slightly, but her eyes flashed with a lifeless and paranoid dark look.

The Holy King once prepared a "punishment plan" tailored for Kitano. The main content of this plan was that when Kitano had an accident one day, she could "command" all the horse girls in the team who were extremely dissatisfied with the status quo, leaving Kitano with a memorable "loss of virginity".

But now, this plan is obviously not feasible, because the entire team is under Kitano's control, and everyone is under his control. Even the two women represented by Aldan and Rudolph, as the "main wife", control the situation of the entire team.

Under such circumstances, it became almost impossible for the Holy King to incite everyone.

Then she would have to change her plan.

Since there is no way to incite everyone, then at least... she is still under my control.

As long as she makes up her mind, then... no one can stop her.

However, the Holy King herself also needs the blessing of courage, such as a victory, a victory... the one she wants most, the victory in the Japanese Derby.

In this way, she will have the courage to pursue everything she wants and what she really wants to do.
