The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

Kusagami Tobi followed Kitano and Zenshin, waiting in line in a respectful manner as the large group slowly advanced, truly worthy of being the representative of the Yamato Nadeshiko of Tresen Academy. The finals had just concluded, but Kusagami Tobi, a fiercely competitive horse racing girl, didn't complain about her defeat at all. Instead, she gently said to Kitano and Zenshin, "I'm here to experience it... and to share my worries."

"Oh, does Cao Shangfei also have troubles?" Shanxin found it a little unbelievable when he heard it. However, Cao Shangfei also showed a slightly distressed expression when he heard it, and smiled without saying a word.

Cao Shangfei herself certainly had no worries. Although her performance in the final was not very good, if this matter caused her any trouble, it was definitely not the case. She came to participate in the competition and compete with many powerful horse racing girls of the same period as herself. If it were not for the Holy King Halo and Qingyun Tiankong, she would not have come to participate in the competition in the first place.

However, now that the final is over, what makes Cao Shangfei feel relieved is that no one, including her, whether it is Qingyun Tiankong or Shengwang Halo, has won the first place. The position of "first place" is Miura Bourbon. This result is the best for Cao Shangfei.

Because of this, neither Sheng Wang nor Qing Yun got this position, so there was no need for them to be angry with each other for competing for this position. This was undoubtedly a good thing for Cao Shangfei, who had always wanted to maintain everyone's friendship.

However… the subsequent troubles had clearly begun after the finals. As for the source, it was undoubtedly not the Saint King Halo, who had quietly joined Kitano's team without Cao Shangfei's knowledge, but Qingyun Tiankong.

Although Qingyun Tiankong seemed to be doing fine after the final, Cao Shangfei could see that after losing to Miura Bourbon in the final, Qingyun Tiankong looked depressed as if everything had been burned out.

To put it simply... in the next course, Qingyun Tiankong, who used to sleep soundly during class, will lie down even after class this time and will not go anywhere to slack off during breaks.

Cao Shangfei even specially called another good friend of Qingyun Tiankong, a horse girl named "Nishinohua" who skipped grades to join Tresen Academy, but it was of no use. Through this incident, Cao Shangfei realized that the defeat in the finals might be a bigger blow to Qingyun Tiankong than he imagined.

Although she maintained everyone's friendship, Cao Shangfei couldn't bear to see Qingyun Tiankong looking so decadent, and couldn't help but think of the Saint King's halo - based on her understanding of the Saint King, the failure of this competition would probably be a bigger blow to the Saint King's halo. Her self-esteem was too strong, and she didn't even come to the afternoon class. It is conceivable how much the Saint King was hit this time.

For this reason, the troubled Cao Shangfei came to Fu Lai's divination house. The Eagle said that telling his troubles here and doing a divination at the same time could help dispel many of the haze in his heart, so Cao Shangfei came.

"However, it's strange that Zenshin-san and Trainer Kitano are here too."

Kusagami Fei was also curious about the pair in front of him and asked with a smile, "Although I've heard that Shanxin and Trainer Kitano have a good relationship before, I wonder if they are still so close after the selection competition is over?"

As he said this, Kusagami Fei suddenly thought of something and asked quietly with a hint of anticipation and curiosity, "In that case... wouldn't Miura-san be angry?"

Kusanagi Tobi naturally asked this on purpose. The question she wanted to ask was actually about the current relationship between Kitano and Bourbon Miura. What were the attitudes of both parties towards forming a team by becoming Kitano's horse girl, just like Bourbon, and becoming Bourbon's.

Miura Bourbon is now Kitano's horse girl. This is the only fact known to all the horse girls in Tresen Academy - after all, the original intention of this selection competition was to select the best horse girl for Kitano.

However, even though the "number one" position has been confirmed, it doesn't mean Kitano can't find a new horse girl in the future. And now that Kitano and Zenshin seem to be on good terms, Kusanagi Hi, who is a little worried about the situation in Qingyun Tiankong, can't help but feel a little hopeful.

However, Kusagami's words caused Shanxin and Kitano to exchange a glance, and then both of them reacted and smiled at each other. Under Kusagami's slightly strange gaze, Shanxin waved at Kusagami, motioning her to come closer, and said softly, "Yes, Kusagami-san, you don't know this... Actually, I'm already one of Kitano's trainers."

"And it's not just me. Sheng Wang, Mi Yu, and the others have joined too. Now we have a team of four horse girls!"

Looking directly at Cao Shangfei who seemed to be a little confused and had not reacted, for some reason, the believer felt a sense of pride welling up from the bottom of his heart, and had a strong feeling of wanting to show off to everyone. This feeling was unprecedented for the believer.

After all, in the Mejiro family, Shanxin was inferior to his sisters in many aspects. Apart from his golf skills which far surpassed his father's, most of the time, Shanxin had nothing worth showing off or praising.

The satisfaction brought by this sense of pride made the believer unable to help but say a little more, "This matter has not been made public yet... Actually, we didn't let Trainer-kun make it public to prevent people from getting upset after hearing about it. If everyone comes to sign up, there will only be one Trainer-kun, how can he possibly be the trainer of so many horse girls?"

"So, Kusagami-kun, please keep this matter a secret for us and don't tell anyone. Otherwise, with Trainer-kun's personality, he might get exhausted."

After saying that, Shanxin straightened his back again and stood back beside Kitano. After a slight pause, Kusagami Fei's face was filled with a gentle smile. He smiled and said, "I see... I understand."

If that's the case...wouldn't it be better if I could just convince Qingyun Tiankong to join Trainer Kitano's team? Really, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have to worry about it for so long.

When he heard that Saint King Halo had joined Kitano's team and became Kitano's horse girl, Cao Shangfei immediately planned to persuade another friend who was obviously very interested to join the team. This should not be a difficult thing for Cao Shangfei.

After all, Qingyun must really want to join Trainer Kitano's team. Since she is so interested, just explain that Shengwang has joined now, and Qingyun will definitely be happy to request to join the team, right?

Cao Shangfei thought so, but she clearly didn't know Qingyun Tiankong that well. If this horsewoman were truly so honest, would she still not have found a suitable trainer? Clearly, Qingyun Tiankong's inability to find a trainer was partly due to her own reasons.

But Cao Shangfei didn't think too much about it. Now that her troubles were solved, she found herself in front of the fortune-telling house. She wanted to leave, but she was worried that Kitano and Shanxin would ask about it. At that moment, she thought to herself: "Even though my troubles are gone... I might as well go in and give it a try, just to get some fortune."

Now, in front of Cao Shangfei, Kitano and Shanxin had already entered the tent together. The two of them soon saw the face of Daijian Fulai, who was in a very good mood. When Fulai saw the two of them, he immediately let out a strange cry, stood up suddenly, and said excitedly: "Oh oh oh! Our big customer has appeared! Trainer Kitano! And classmate Shanxin! Thank you! You are simply the lucky cats sent by the immortal to save me!"

"Thank you so much! Thank you, Trainer Kitano! Because of you, business at my fortune-telling hut has suddenly picked up. Please allow me to enshrine your photo as an offering to the God of Wealth!"

"What happened? Fu Lai? Why are so many people fortune-telling today?"

However, Kitano and Shanxin were both confused by the excitement of Daikan Fukurai. Although the matter of the fortune-telling house was hidden, it was normal for Fukurai to be very happy, but if they said it was Kitano's fault, how could they explain it?

Fortunately, Taikan Fukulai quickly gave them an answer, excitedly saying, "Ever since the trials began, many horse girls have come to my fortune-telling shop seeking help. They want to know what their future holds, so of course I'm obligated to help them."

"But what I didn't expect was that most of the horse girls who came to me for divination actually had auspicious omens, and several even had extremely auspicious omens! And after I finished divination for them, they came back half a day later to thank me, saying that my divination was very effective. They all met Trainer Kitano, who gave them some running tips!"

"Trainer Kitano, your arrival is truly auspicious for the racehorse girls at Tresen Academy! Of course, Fulai's fortune is also very good today!"

"That's what happened."

However, facing the curious gaze of the believers beside him, Kitano just remembered that the "painful" memory before the selection competition started was actually related to Fulai's divination.

However, what surprised Kitano even more was that the meaning revealed in Fukulai's words actually indirectly verified that her divination was really effective. This made Kitano, who had experienced n rounds of games and was always skeptical about Fukulai's divination, begin to feel that Fukulai's divination might really be effective.

Could his omen of great misfortune be true? It seemed that nothing particularly dangerous had happened to Kitano this week, and he couldn't help but wonder if this prophecy of great misfortune would come true in the next few days?

Chapter 128: A sudden omen of great misfortune for the believer!

"Fulai, this time, Trainer Jun and I came to you to ask for your divination again. I wonder if you still remember the results of last week's divination?"

Shanxin also did not intend to discuss the issue of Kitano any further. After all, Shanxin knew about the problem of their troublesome trainer from the beginning - don't forget, she is not Mi Yu who has many friends, nor is she the difficult to get along with Saint King Halo, nor is she the cold-faced Miura Bourbon. She knows that Shanxin still has many "friends".

Although most of them are just friends who say hello, those horse racing girls worship the believers as their "dream princes". Many of them have the believers' email addresses and keep sending messages to them at night, saying that they have met Kitano and accepted his guidance.

At first the believers were quite surprised, but after asking in detail they found out that Kitano was not only focusing on their training, but also had not forgotten the requests for help from other horse racing girls. He had been using his free time to help those horse racing girls who also had no trainers but still wanted to participate in the competition.

Although, in the words of those horse racing girls, Kitano seemed to have always emphasized that these were just the basics of being a trainer, and that other trainers could do it perfectly, and could even do it better than him - but the joy and admiration expressed in the words of those horse racing girls, and their praise for Kitano, still made the believers feel proud, but also a little worried.

She was worried that if Kitano's free time was always occupied like this, he would be exhausted first, but all she could do was answer those horse racing girls on the phone and gently suggest that they bother Kitano less.

However, it is not known how many of these children listened to Shanxin's proposal. At least, Shanxin received more and more messages about horse girls praising Kitano. Only a few of them did not reply after agreeing, and it is not known whether they really did not bother Kitano.

Now that she has become one of Kitano's horse girls, Shanxin has felt that she has a great responsibility from the beginning. She has to help her soft-hearted trainer and manage his interpersonal relationships well, otherwise he might exhaust herself.

As long as she's around, those kids who might be a nuisance to the trainer...will probably give her some consideration and cause him less trouble, right? That's what Shanxin thought.

However, right now was not the time to ponder these questions. The believer temporarily put them aside and said to Fu in front of him, "Trainer-kun and I are here for a second divination to see if the bad omen that Trainer-kun had last time has been resolved."

"I see. Then please take a seat, Shanxin. We'll start with you!"

Dai Jian Fulai was now very polite to the two "big customers" in front of her. Ever since she set up a stall in Tresen College to do free divination, her business has never been so good. In the past, there might not be a single person coming for divination, but now there are long queues all day long. Fulai had never dared to imagine this before.

Even Fulai had to raise her divination requirements, from free divination to requiring an apple or carrot for each divination, but it was still crowded, which made Fulai feel that she had made a lot of money.

Now, she could earn a considerable income just from collecting carrots and apples - she and the famous general Nutao certainly couldn't eat so many, but they could sell these things to Ogurimao, and Ogurimao was very happy to use his specially approved "canteen unlimited meal card" to order a carrot fried meat or honeydew melon parfait for Fulai and Nutao in exchange for these carrots and apples that could be used as snacks.

Dai Jian Fu Lai, who now gets to eat several servings of fried carrots and meat for free, is living a comfortable life. She even feels like she's gained a little weight. As for Nu Tao...it doesn't matter whether she gains weight or not. She probably won't gain any more anyway, right?

Now, facing Mejiro Zenshin and Kitano, Daikan Fukulai was also very alert. He kept "casting spells" at the crystal ball in front of him with a full attitude, muttering some spells made up of languages ​​​​from various countries, staring at the changes in the crystal ball.

"Several Uma Musumes have come here for divination before, and most of them had small or medium luck. But today we have five very lucky numbers, so there's no need to worry."

"Student Shanxin, how's your fortune these days...huh?"

"What's wrong?" The believer noticed the change in Dai Jianfulai's expression and asked nervously.

However, Dai Jian Fulai didn't have time to care about the believers' reactions. Her eyes were fixed on the strange changes in the crystal ball. After a long while, she said quietly, "I saw it—a field of flowers in full bloom, exuding a subtle but still beautiful scene. However, within the flowers, they were competing for nutrients, constantly drawing from the limited soil, which in turn depleted the soil's nutrients. The flowers, unable to replenish them, withered one after another."

"What does it mean?" Shanxin and Kitano's hearts skipped a beat when they heard this. This scene of beauty turning into withering was not a good sign at all. After looking at each other, Shanxin asked hurriedly.

After Jian Fulai stared at the crystal ball for a while, he replied seriously, "Flowers represent many meanings, just like different flowers have different meanings. But a cluster of flowers can only represent closeness and family."

"And the flowers are competing for nutrients from the same land and withering one after another... I see. I understand."

Muttering to himself, Fulai immediately raised his head, his eyes gleaming like stars as he looked at the believer before him, and said word by word, "I'm sorry, Shanxin, the result of your divination this time is very bad!"

"The meaning of this crystal ball is that someone close to you might take away something important from you. During this period, you must be careful with those you trust the most, otherwise, they might take away what belongs to you."

"The one who should have belonged to me... the one close to me..."

Zenshin was also stunned when she heard this. To her, the people closest to her, besides Kitano Ryuichi, were undoubtedly her sisters from the Mejiro family. They were the people that Zenshin Mejiro trusted the most and were closest to her.

But Fulai's divination said that they might take away what belonged to her? But what could be taken away from her?

Shanxin recalled the things she had placed in the dormitory. She did not have many personal belongings among the horse racing girls. Her favorite thing was the golf club that her father had made for her when she was a trainee. It was her most precious thing.

But what's the point of taking away the golf club? If they like golf, they can just ask her for advice. She can do that, too. What's the point of taking away her golf club?

Or, taking away something that belongs to her, and this something... doesn't refer to an item?

Just as Shanxin seemed to have thought of a possibility, she suddenly felt a sense of relief on her shoulders. Turning her head slightly, she found Kitano beside her, smiling and comforting her, "Don't be afraid, Shanxin. This is just a divination. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Look, didn't my previous omen of great misfortune also fail to verify? It's okay."

"is it?"

The believer still couldn't calm down after hearing this. A week ago, she was in very good luck, but now a week later, she has become very unlucky. Such a gap still has some impact on the believer.

But Shanxin still smiled gently at Fulai and said, "I understand. Thank you, Fulai."

"I'm sorry, even I can't think of any solution for the moment..." Fulai said to the believer with an apologetic look on her face. She had a very good impression of the believer. Although the two girls had no social interactions other than divination, the believer was her frequent customer. For this reason, Fulai still hoped to help her.

Unfortunately, she was willing but unable to do so. Fulai had no good idea for the moment. She had even started to think about whether she should ask for advice from Xiaolin Liqi, who was more experienced.

"The results this time weren't very good, so I won't accept your carrot, Shanxin. Ah, Trainer Kitano, it's your turn next."

"Thank you for your guidance." Kitano nodded and exchanged seats with Shanxin. After seeing Kitano sit firmly, Fulai turned his gaze back to the crystal ball.

However, in a trance, Dai Jian Fulai, who had prepared herself mentally, suddenly saw several pairs of blood-red eyes staring at her in the crystal ball, which were more than the number in last week's divination. She was so frightened that she almost fell backwards on the spot.

What the hell is this tama?! Am I staring into the abyss?!

Chapter 129: Do you think this face can be saved?

Honestly, when Kane Fuk Lai was about to read Kitano's fortune, she had already made sufficient mental preparations based on the experience of the previous week. After all, the result she had seen regarding Kitano a week ago was so ominous that it made her scalp tingle even when she recalled it. It was such a dangerous omen, the first time in Fuk Lai's career that she had seen such a dangerous situation.

This time, she was mentally prepared, feeling that even if the situation was worse than last time, she would be able to remain calm. Dai Jianfulai was still confident in her ability to withstand it.

However, reality mercilessly slapped the confident Dai Jian Fulai in the face, bringing her back to her senses. For the first time, Dai Jian Fulai, who had "made waves" at Tresen Academy with this skill, realized that there are always people better than her.

Dai Jianfulai encountered the biggest Waterloo in her career, and the source of this incident was Kitano Ryuichi in front of her, who was regarded as a lucky cat by her just a second ago.

Who was this person who brought both wealth and disaster? Jian Fulai had no idea what was going on, so she had no choice but to continue looking at the crystal ball. However, the "bloody storm" in the crystal ball made her scalp tingle, and she swallowed her saliva, looking a little terrified.

Meanwhile, Kitano, watching the trembling Daijian Fulai before him, clearly understood that his divination wasn't very good. However, he still had some faith in Fulai's accuracy. He couldn't help but whisper, "Fulai... look at my face. Can I still be saved?"

"Wait! Please wait a moment!"

At this moment, Dai Jian Fulai suddenly stood up in high spirits. Her hands formed into claws and hovered over the crystal ball. Her eyes were fixed on the crystal ball as she muttered to herself, "I just don't believe it. I, the great Immortal Fulai, can't even see through my divinations? I must clear my name!"

"Come, come, Muhammad, Christ, Avalokitesvara, Buddha... bring your strength, cometome!"

After another round of muttering to herself, Jian Fulai seemed to have finished accumulating strength, and suddenly stared at the crystal ball again. Just when she thought she was about to face an extremely terrifying scene, she did not see anything more terrifying from the crystal ball except those blood-red pupils for a long time.

"Ah?"

Jian Fulai was still a little skeptical, but after calming down, he looked at the crystal ball carefully. However, nothing in front of him had changed, except for a few more pairs of scarlet eyes. Everything else was unchanged.

And for some reason, as one of the eyes opened completely, Kitano's fortune did not seem to get worse, but instead... it seemed to be getting better?

This... Fulai was a bit bewildered, but he could only express his own judgment. He said, "This divination result... seems to be very auspicious? Trainer Kitano, your luck seems to have turned?"

"Looking closely, your fortune is very stable right now. Even if disasters do occur occasionally, they mostly happen in places you won't notice. Although you may occasionally be bothered by trivial matters, these meaningless troubles will always bring you compensation."

"This is truly great! But why did such a huge change happen in just one week?"

Now, even with his vast experience, Tai Kenfuku couldn't figure out the reason. Curiously, he cast his gaze towards Kitano and Zenshin, stroking his chin and speculating, "Could it be that Zenshin and Trainer Kitano really have swapped fortunes this past week?"

"If that's the case, I'd rather be the one who suffers the most than the believer."

Upon hearing this, Kitano couldn't help but glance at the believer beside him. This time the result was exactly the opposite of their divination result last week. Kitano had every reason to believe that the method Fulai had said before, which was to have close contact with the believer to overcome bad luck, had worked.

But honestly, Kitano felt that rather than passing the bad luck on to the believers, he might as well bear it himself. The worst that could happen to him was just dying and being forced to restart the game, just like in the previous round. He was quite experienced in this area, having experienced all kinds of death. For Kitano now, death was, in a sense, the easiest thing to do.

He could accept his own bad luck, but the problem was that seeing his horsegirl suffer made Kitano even more miserable. At that moment, Daikan Fukulai nodded and said, "It's very strange. There are some things even I can't explain clearly—but since you can come here safely this time, why don't you just stay here for the rest of the time, just like last time?"

"It just so happens that Trainer Kitano's auspicious omen seems to be able to keep bad luck away, while Shanxin's is a very bad omen that will cause him to lose something important. If we can complement each other, perhaps it can help Shanxin escape disaster?"

"It looks like we'll still be inseparable for a while, Trainer-kun."

Upon hearing this, Shanxin smiled softly at Kitano and put his hands on Kitano's shoulders. Their personalities were similar, and because of Shanxin's Chimney appearance, they got along with each other more easily. Compared to the Uma Girls with more cute attributes like Bourbon, Miyu and Shengwang, there was less distance between them. In addition, Kitano had given Shanxin massages several times, so they had no resistance to some relatively close actions.

However, at this moment, the slight force with which Shanxin unconsciously grasped Kitano's shoulders clearly indicated that she had begun to understand what "something" she might lose during the divination... Although she didn't want to think of her sisters in this way, if her sisters really held such thoughts...

Then, even if it was her, the family's famously good-tempered Mejiro Zenshin, she would try her best to avoid all this in order to defend the luck she had worked so hard to pursue.

"In that case, both of you can go back first. I won't charge you for the divination fee today."

Fulai also watched Kitano and Shanxin leave slowly with a smile. However, after the two left, Fulai's smile suddenly fell, and he looked very distressed, thinking about everything he had just seen in the crystal ball.

As she expected, another pair of blood-red eyes opened... However, what made Fulai even more uneasy was that some of the blood-red eyes that had not yet opened were now in a half-open state - just like the hazy eyes that had just woken up in the morning. They could open completely at any time, but were always struggling to open.

Moreover, those unopened eyes... seemed to be even more numerous. This was also one of the sources of Fulai's uneasiness.

But now she still hasn't figured out what these blood-red pupils mean. What makes her even more puzzled is that although more pupils are open, Kitano's fortune has improved.

But... now it's so difficult to see Trainer Kitano's fortune clearly with just one more pair of eyes opened. If she opens another pair... wouldn't she not be able to see Trainer Kitano's fortune clearly?

Should she really ask Master Xiaolin for advice? Fulai's rationality told her that this was the right thing to do. However, although she admired Xiaolin Liqi very much, she also had her own dignity and didn't know how to make a choice.

"Um? Fu Lai-san?"

"Eh? Ah! Sorry, Kusagami-kun, I was distracted just now."
