The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

However, Saint King Halo, who had been paying close attention to Mi Yu's changes throughout the whole process, trembled all over after hearing Kitano's words. As a bystander throughout the whole process, he watched Shanxin and Mi Yu's massage. Saint King Halo discovered that many changes would occur to both Shanxin and Mi Yu during the massage.

For example, his face was getting redder and redder, and his voice was becoming more and more uncontrollable, just like—

She didn't know how to describe the Saint King's Halo. Her knowledge of horse jumping was actually very poor, which was in stark contrast to her usual ladylike demeanor. But she was a high school student of that period after all, and the enlightenment of the Saint King's Halo still allowed her to discover something amiss.

Could it be that if I were to get a massage from that guy, I would end up like Shan Xin and Mi Yu?! Is there something wrong with that guy's massage technique?!

"I, I suddenly remembered something else! Let's save this massage for next time!"

Not wanting his embarrassing situation to be seen by others, or perhaps because he felt extremely ashamed at the thought of becoming as strange as Shanxin and Mi Yu, but with a vague expectation in his heart, Saint King Halo finally managed to maintain his dignity in time and quickly escaped.

As Kitano watched, the Saint King's aura rushed out of the door. Kitano was also surprised and said, "If you want to leave, why stay until now... The curfew time has passed."

"Trainer Kitano, can we begin maintenance on Miura Bourbon's machine now?"

At this moment, Miura Bourbon, who had been silent from beginning to end, finally stood up slowly and sat in front of Kitano without saying a word.

"The Miura Bourbon is severely damaged. Trainer Kitano, please carefully investigate the malfunction."

Finally... the troublemakers are gone. Having been left out for so long, Miura Bourbon's eyes flickered with a dull glint, but a faint smile appeared on his face.

She had to find a way to quickly make up for the distance she had fallen behind. Not only that, she also had to overtake those guys who were sneaking away and getting in the way.

Chapter 088: Miura Bourbon wants to go further

"Sure, Miura-san. Now sit down and get ready."

However, when Miura Bourbon sat down and stretched out her feet, Kitano's eyes noticed the white pantyhose wrapped around her feet. His hand paused slightly, and he subconsciously raised his head and asked, "Miura-san, didn't I tell you to take off the pantyhose before the massage?"

"I'm deeply sorry, but Miura Bourbon refuses to carry out this order."

However, unexpectedly, Miura Bourbon, who always listened to Kitano, this time flatly rejected Kitano's words. He looked directly at Kitano and said, "Miura Bourbon's body is abnormal today. It is extremely sensitive to contact and may overreact. Therefore, he refuses direct contact with Trainer Kitano."

Miura Bourbon's reply was very complicated, but Kitano understood the specific meaning. To put it bluntly, she was in a bad state today and was very sensitive to physical contact. In order to avoid her reacting too much and hurting Kitano, he had to massage her through her pantyhose.

But... I've never heard of Miura Bourbon before? I also never knew Miura Bourbon was ticklish... Why did Bourbon make such a request this time?

Wait…sensitive? Overreacting? Could it be…

Suddenly, Kitano seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously looked up at Miura Bourbon. Then he remembered that Miura Bourbon had not even gone to the bathroom today, and nodded in sudden realization.

"I see... You're feeling unwell, I see."

It turned out to be the time every girl has to face once a month. Kitano finally realized this blind spot, but there was nothing he could do. He was a man after all, and he really didn't know enough about this kind of female characteristics. In the few rounds he remembered, his horse girl never seemed to mention this period to him. She trained and ate as usual, but simply didn't eat ice or stimulating foods for a few days, so Kitano found it difficult to notice anything unusual.

But if you think about it carefully, it's probably just that horse girls have stronger physiques, so they won't be tortured to death like ordinary girls, but it will still affect their normal lives.

"In that case, I'll just massage you through your pantyhose. I'll be gentle, Miura-san. Now relax."

"The repair of the machine is left to Trainer Kitano."

Miura Bourbon had no idea what Kitano had just thought of, and a look of sudden realization appeared on her face. She simply didn't want to take off her pantyhose because she knew her Master very well. For her Master, wearing pantyhose would actually attract his attention.

This has been verified many times now. Whenever Miyu comes wearing black stockings, Miura Bourbon can see Kitano's eyes will glance at Miyu's black stockings intentionally or unintentionally. Miyu, the humble girl, also endures her shyness and pretends not to see it, but always shows off her black stockings intentionally or unintentionally.

The same is true for Miura Bourbon. Based on last week's experience, Miura Bourbon had already figured out Kitano's fetish, which is why she insisted on letting Kitano massage her through her pantyhose this time.

"Master would be even more excited with pantyhose between them..." Bourbon thought.

Bourbon didn't expect Kitano to agree so readily. She didn't know what Kitano suddenly understood in his mind just now. She had already prepared an excuse.

—She said she had passed by Elly Tachyon's lab and was tricked into drinking a potion, which had made her body ten times more sensitive than usual. But now, that excuse seemed unnecessary; the Master also believed that her body was more sensitive.

Then... her plan can be implemented...

Miura Bourbon stared at Kitano's hand that was slowly reaching towards her feet. Finally, when Kitano grabbed Bourbon's small feet wrapped in white pantyhose without warning, a slight sound immediately echoed at this moment.

"Woo..."

When Kitano heard this voice that numbed his bones, he shuddered all over and almost stood still because of Bourbon's voice.

Who can stand this! Kitano shouted in his heart. If he was not familiar with Miura Bourbon's character and knew that this kid had never been interested in love and usually had little reaction even to massage, he really suspected that Bourbon was doing it on purpose today.

But there was nothing he could do. It was because Bourbon was on vacation. He'd heard that girls couldn't be touched during this time. They'd become emotionally unstable, prone to losing their temper, and would react with a conditioned reflex if touched. Bourbon's reaction was within Kitano's comprehension.

But he couldn't handle that sound alone. He was a normal adult male. He wasn't one of those harem anime male protagonists who had no desires or wants, nor was he one of those male protagonists in novels who traveled through the world of horse girls and was so afraid of the horses jumping that their pelvises would break. He was a virgin for nth time! He wasn't even qualified to have his pelvis broken. If it weren't for his strong moral character, how could he have remained a virgin until today?

To be honest, if Kitano was a person with slightly worse moral character and knew that he could start over, he would definitely do what he should do with his Uma Musume before restarting each week. In this way, everything would return to normal after the restart, and he wouldn't have to worry about taking responsibility, and he could just turn the Uma Musume world into a hentai world.

But there is no way. Kitano is a person who has extremely high moral standards for himself. He never forces his horse girl to do anything she is unwilling to do, and never actively pursues anyone. The reason is that he is inferior and feels that he is too bad and no one will look down on him.

But he had never done anything to his horse girl before the restart, but that didn't mean he had never thought about his responsibilities before - this was a living horse girl after all, and in this world, horse girls were naturally beautiful girls.

Beautiful girls are too attractive to a virgin like Kitano. Don’t say that you will find it boring if you hang out with beautiful girls for a long time. Kitano is the best proof.

He's taught so many Umamusume over the course of so many games, and which one isn't a prominent character with a portrait in the mobile game? Which one isn't incredibly beautiful? Kitano can only say, you'll never get tired of them. A beautiful girl is a beautiful girl, and for humans, it's never boring, unless that person is gay.

"Miura-san - please keep your voice down and control yourself." Kitano had no choice but to remind her. He didn't want to make a fool of himself after getting up, as that would definitely make Miura Bourbon dislike him.

"Sorry." Miura Bourbon still answered with an expressionless face, as if the numbing sound that went straight to the bones was not made by her. Bourbon's reaction also made Kitano feel at ease and concentrate on the massage again.

And at the moment when Kitano lowered his head, a smile suddenly appeared on Miura Bourbon's face, and his hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

Yes, of course she did it on purpose. She wasn't ticklish to begin with, otherwise wouldn't she have been terribly uncomfortable when Kitano massaged her before? She made that sound on purpose, just to see Kitano's reaction.

Kitano's reaction was just as Bourbon had expected. As expected, his master was also a normal man, and as long as he was a normal man, his tolerance was limited.

An ambiguous atmosphere is the best way to bring people closer, and there is no one else to disturb them now. Miura Bourbon watched Kitano's concentration. After massaging Kitano for a while, Miura Bourbon felt that the atmosphere was about right. She pursed her lips and showed a rare shy expression.

But she cannot retreat. This small step is crucial to her, especially now that Mi Yu and Shanxin have a closer relationship with their master. She must not fall behind and must bring the progress back to the leading advantage in the past!

We must take a step further! Miura Bourbon pursed his lips, and finally, with a tone that was barely concealed with shyness, he said softly, "Trainer Kitano... Miura Bourbon's body maintenance needs to be further improved."

"The fatigue hasn't completely dissipated. Please perform further maintenance on Miura Bourbon."

As he spoke, Miura Bourbon took the initiative to stretch out his long legs again. Miyu's legs, which were so long and plump that they were incomparable, lifted slightly, and Miura Bourbon said, "Compared to the fatigue of the feet, the fatigue of the legs is even more intense."

"Excuse me, Trainer Kitano, please take care of Miura Bourbon's legs."

Even a leg treatment like no other! Finally! Miura Bourbon was incredibly surprised that he had actually made it this far. He could actually say this so naturally, even the Master wouldn't notice.

At this moment, Kitano stared blankly at the long legs stretched out by Miura Bourbon, with all kinds of doubts in his heart, and subconsciously glanced at Miura Bourbon.

Is this cyborg horsegirl broken? What's wrong with her? They haven't even been this close before, and now she's leaving the care of her entire leg to him?

No, something is very wrong. Although he had initially felt that Miura Bourbon was more reserved than usual, Kitano, with the experience of last week's show, felt that Bourbon was much bolder today than before.

This feeling is just like... yes, just like Mi Yu. Kitano couldn't help but think of Mi Yu, and the first time he was alone with Mi Yu, before Mi Yu's emotional outburst, he was also quite bold.

And how similar is Miura Bourbon's behavior now to that of Miyu that day? Could it be that Bourbon today... has something on his mind too?

Speaking of which, he had indeed neglected Bourbon's problem during this period. After all, he didn't need to worry about Bourbon's training policy, and he could control his own rhythm and running speed very quickly. Compared with Shanxin, Mi Yu and the Holy King's Halo, Bourbon was indeed the one that gave Kitano the least worries.

Kitano is not a superman with unlimited energy. He also gets tired and cannot take care of some people's feelings. Now the sudden change of Miura Bourbon has made Kitano realize that he may have really ignored Bourbon's feelings in the past few days.

She looked like she was constantly trying to get closer to him... Could it be that because he had such a close relationship with Shanxin, Miyu, and Shengwang, Bourbon, who had wanted to join his team from the beginning, was jealous?

That's why she didn't go to the bathroom with Shanxin and Miyu to take a bath. That's why she sat here until the three women left before she asked him for a massage alone...

So that’s it, my day has arrived!

It was only at this time that Kitano figured out the reason behind the matter and finally understood what Bourbon was thinking today!

Then the next step will be easy. All he needs to do is find a way to make this cyborg horsegirl who is not good at expressing herself beg for mercy and then tell her what is in her heart. As an emotional trash can, he is very good at this!

Chapter 089: Love Trash Miura Bourbon?

"Miho-san, how have you been lately? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

However, after figuring out the reason, Kitano Ryuichi did not ask Bourbon Miura directly like an elder if there was anything wrong. He wanted Bourbon Miura to tell him on his own initiative. Only what one voluntarily reveals is called the true feelings. What is forced out is not the true feelings, but a confession.

Therefore, Kitano changed the way of asking questions. Of course, it would be best if he could get the answer this way. Otherwise, Kitano would have to use the second plan. However, that seemed to be "forced confession", so Kitano still planned to use a gentler method of asking questions.

"I don't understand." However, while Kitano continued to massage Miura Bourbon's feet, this sudden question made Miura Bourbon's heart skip a beat.

Was she too eager to succeed, causing the Master to notice something was wrong? Miura Bourbon's eyes rolled slightly upon hearing this, and he continued to use his expressionless face to try to avoid this difficult situation.

"All interactions with Miura Bourbon are normal, and there are no other issues. Coach Kitano's doubts are unfounded."

"Don't be like this, Miura-san. I know I haven't cared about you much lately."

Kitano naturally knew Bourbon Miura's character, and his first reaction was definitely to deny it. She was not the kind of person who liked to cause trouble for others. She was a taciturn person and rarely revealed her inner thoughts or expressed her emotions. Faced with such a Bourbon, the time it took Kitano to get closer to her at the beginning could be said to be quite long.

He believed that in three years, he could melt even a stone. Furthermore, Miura Bourbon's heart wasn't made of stone. It was simply because of some childhood reasons, including the rigorous horse racing girl training she underwent since childhood, that she became so inexpressive. But she wasn't a robot without emotions or feelings.

Therefore, being able to impress Miura Bourbon with true feelings is undoubtedly the best way. Kitano can feel that from Miura Bourbon's performance today, the knot in her heart is very deep. She is even unwilling to take a bath with Shanxin and Miyu in the same bathroom. This proves that there is already a gap in her heart, but Kitano does not want this to be the case.

They will be members of a team in the future. Kitano has never expected that all members of a team will never have conflicts with each other, but just because he doesn't believe there are no conflicts doesn't mean he hopes conflicts will break out.

This is also one of his responsibilities as a trainer, to listen to the voices of his racehorses and allow them to release their stress in the safest and least impactful way before it accumulates to the peak.

At least he can still hold on to this emotional trash can. It's better than waiting for things to become irreversible and watching several horse girls he likes fighting each other in the team - just thinking about it makes Kitano feel like he is in hell.

If the situation develops more seriously, if one of the horse girls directly shouts at Kitano with tears of sadness, "Trainer-san! I hate you so much!" and other traditional Japanese anime words, it will make people like Kitano so angry that he wants to restart the story.

Kitano doesn't want to be disliked by others, especially by any of the horse girls in the team, so he will try his best to avoid conflicts. He must treat every horse girl with extreme caution.

Especially for a horse girl like Miura Bourbon, who keeps many of her thoughts and words to herself, she needs Kitano's guidance and encouragement even more. Thinking this, Kitano continued to massage Miura Bourbon's feet, saying, "I'm so sorry, I've been so busy lately... Compared to Bourbon, you're the one I trust the most out of the four. You learn quickly and know how to train. Compared to Miyu, Zenshin, and Shengwang, Miura-san, you really put my mind at ease."

"But maybe because of this incident, you feel that I care less about you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be acting so abnormally today."

"If you have any dissatisfaction, it's okay to speak up now. No one else is here, only me. I will listen to whatever you think."

"I don't understand." However, Kitano's words made Miura Bourbon forget her original purpose. She turned her head away slightly, and of course she didn't dare to say what she really thought.

How could she put it? She was actually the one who remembered their past from the beginning? But she remembered Kitano, and Kitano seemed to not remember her. However, with the memories of the past, she had long since regarded Kitano as her own, and therefore she really disliked Kitano's contact with other Uma Musume—especially Miyu.

Miura Bourbon didn't dare to say that. She didn't dare to tell herself that she had the memory, because she didn't know whether Kitano had the memory of the past. If she confessed like that, it would be difficult to guarantee what Kitano was thinking.

Such a reason... was too ridiculous, so of course she couldn't say it. Then what could she say? Because she actually liked Bei Ye, so she didn't want him to get too close to Mi Yu and the others?

Putting aside the fact that she and Kitano had only known each other for a week and weren't even close, what right did she have to meddle with Kitano's relationships? Would it diminish her impression of him if Kitano thought she was a jealous horse girl?

After going back and forth, Miura Bourbon thought too much. Perhaps it was because the opportunity to see Kitano again this time was so rare that Miura Bourbon had to be careful. She was too afraid that her actions that went too far would arouse Kitano's vigilance or even disgust towards her.

She couldn't imagine the days when she couldn't be with her beloved master...that was too painful, but she couldn't stand the desire to have her beloved master all to herself. The more she saw him getting along well with other horse girls, while her relationship with her master was not that good, the more jealous she couldn't help but feel.

But now, Bourbon, who still attracted Kitano's attention, just wanted to make up for her image as much as possible. She didn't want to leave a bad impression on Kitano, so she wouldn't say anything more.

"Miura Bourbon, there's nothing unusual. Please rest assured, Trainer Kitano."

"is it?"

As expected, I still can't get the answer. Kitano is also very clear about this result. After all, he and Miura Bourbon have only known each other for a week, and he doesn't care much about her. Given Miura Bourbon's personality, it is definitely impossible for her to confide in him so easily.

But Kitano has now discovered the problem, and Miura Bourbon's words and actions have verified this, so Kitano is not going to ignore it.

It seems that we have no choice but to use the method of "torture".

"Miura-san, didn't you just say you wanted me to massage your legs?"

"Well, I hope you're ready."

As Kitano said this, he finally extended his palm towards Miura Bourbon's calf. Unprepared for this, Miura Bourbon was taken aback for a moment before quickly feeling a tingling sensation in his calf, causing him to subconsciously stiffen.

Yes, the leg massage plan was proposed by Miura Bourbon, a proposal that had never been implemented even in the past when she and Kitano had a very harmonious relationship.

Admittedly, Miura Bourbon had asked Kitano to give him a full body massage before, but they were both extremely nervous about each other that time. Miura Bourbon was tense all over and didn't think about anything at all. But that experience made Miura Bourbon feel that the limit he could accept was a full body massage.

However, she overlooked one problem, that is, although her attack on Kitano was very fierce, in the end, once Kitano wanted to play for real, she would have no way to deal with it, and she didn't even know what to do next.

Perhaps, Miura Bourbon should have considered a question. Why, despite having the advantage of past memories, she still hasn't awakened them, while Mi Yu, relying solely on a vague affection, has overtaken her. Even the Saint King's aura and a believer who previously had no contact with Kitano are making faster progress than her, who has the advantage.

Because, in essence, she is still a novice who can only stay in the love stage with high attack and paper defense. Strictly speaking, she is not much stronger than Qingyun Tiankong, and is far worse than Mi Yu.

Chapter 090: Miura Bourbon's Strong Attachment

"Wait, Trainer Kitano, please stop immediately--"

Miura Bourbon panicked. She seemed to have overestimated the extent of her own thick skin. She thought she was also the horse girl who had endured Kitano's full body massage. If the conditions were not allowed now, a full body massage would be too much for their current relationship. Even if Miura Bourbon was stiff all over, she would still want to "enjoy" it once more.

However, in reality, she had overestimated her own endurance. During that full-body massage, Kitano's hands were shaking so much that he didn't dare to go too far. It wasn't really a massage, but rather just a few gentle pressures on Bourbon Miura's body, satisfying his urge to touch her.

On that day, Miura Bourbon was also stiff and sweaty from excessive tension. If an outsider had witnessed this scene that day, they might have regarded it as a "sacred ceremony" for the virginity of a man and a woman, which is extremely rare in this era. They would have been respectful but also couldn't help but laugh loudly at Miura Bourbon and Kitano.

That farcical "full body massage" was actually over before it even began. However, it sent the wrong message to Miura Bourbon: if he could endure a full body massage, he could certainly handle everything else.

However, this was not the case. The moment Kitano's palm touched Miura Bourbon's calf, Miura Bourbon froze all over. The touch and temperature through the white pantyhose made Miura Bourbon blush. If she was really a cyborg horse girl, she would obviously be in an "overheated" state.

This is not good, not good...

If the master makes any move at this time, I will become very strange!
