The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

But being drunk doesn't mean you can escape everything. Kitano had to remind Fujiwara Reiko, saying, "There's nothing to be afraid of when you go to the Mejiro family, senior. You have to believe me on this."

"Bang." However, just as Kitano finished speaking, he heard the sound of Fujiwara Reiko putting down the draft beer cup in her hand. The next moment, Fujiwara Reiko stared at Kitano with a rather horrified look. Even though she had drunk so much alcohol, her mind was still exceptionally clear.

But it wasn't because Fujiwara Reiko could hold her liquor well; she was so frightened she couldn't help herself with alcohol. She stared at Kitano, who was now so composed, and for a moment, she was on the verge of tears as she said, "Junior! Of course you're fine! You're a genius trainer, and you're Mejiro Yoshinobu's trainer. Of course, the Mejiro family won't do anything to you, but I'm not a senior!"

Fujiwara Reiko pointed at herself, her voice trembling as she spoke with great uneasiness, "But I'm just an ordinary trainer! I even had a "horse dance" with the eldest daughter of the Mejiro family! I'm still a woman!"

When she said this, Fujiwara Reiko, who felt that her end was near, was so scared that she fell on the table with her head. Her body twitched slightly and she said in a trembling voice: "I'm only 26 years old, and Ryan is my second horse girl. Will they think that I turned the eldest daughter of the Mejiro family into a lesbian? What will happen to me? I don't want to die..."

"Senior... I don't think this matter is that serious."

And when Kitano saw Fujiwara Reiko looking so timid and scared, he thought that the Mejiro family was some kind of devil's den... Although this was indeed the case, Kitano had been the trainer of several horse girls from the Mejiro family. In the Mejiro family, there were also many so-called "exclusive trainers", most of whom were former trainers of the Mejiro family's horse girls.

However, these trainers were not hired by the Mejiro family because of their good training skills. Most of them had trained the horse girls of the Mejiro family in the past, and later developed feelings for each other. After experiencing some setbacks and stories, they chose to resign from their positions at Tresen Academy and married into the Mejiro family, becoming the Mejiro family's exclusive trainers.

This method is very good. The hired trainers are not trainers from the Mejiro family. Although they help wholeheartedly, it is difficult to guarantee that their hearts are with the Mejiro family.

However, if they marry into the Mejiro family and become a true member of the Mejiro family, the future of these trainers will be completely tied to the Mejiro family. Their marriages, wives, and even future children will be tied to the Mejiro family. In this way, it can be guaranteed that every trainer that the Mejiro family takes a fancy to will work hard for the Mejiro family wholeheartedly.

What's more, these horse girls were not inserted by the head of the Mejiro family. These trainers were all truly in love with the horse girls of the Mejiro family. Everything was natural and legitimate. It would be better to say that for most trainers born as commoners, being able to marry into the Mejiro family and become a member of this big family is a lifelong pursuit that others would envy.

From this point of view, the head of the Mejiro family undoubtedly does a better job than the head of the Yuzhi family. Although the Yuzhi family is not without trainers who marry into the Yuzhi family, the head of the Yuzhi family has never pursued the bloodline of the family. She values ​​talent more.

And strictly speaking, the Symbol family doesn't have that many daughters to marry trainers, so they can't follow the Mejiro family's method... That's why Kitano ended up committing suicide in the first round.

But no matter what, in Kitano's impression, he has been to the Mejiro family several times, and each time he went in, he played a different horse girl, but the head of the Mejiro family always left a good impression on him.

If the head of the Mejiro family was really the kind of person who was very concerned about the marriage of the younger generations in the family, then Kitano might have been bullied during those weeks. But the fact is that not only was Kitano not bullied, but after meeting the head of the Mejiro family a few times, he continued as if nothing had happened, and even occasionally received financial support from the Mejiro family.

Even in the story about Ardan, the head of the Mejiro family tacitly approved of his and Ardan's relationship of "not getting married but almost equal to husband and wife". In this way, the head of the Mejiro family was very good to him, so Kitano didn't think there was anything to worry about when he went to the Mejiro family this time.

Although Kitano had negotiated with those exclusive trainers at the Mejiro family, and had curiously asked them why they agreed to give up their jobs at Tresen Academy and become exclusive trainers for the Mejiro family, everyone hesitated and was reluctant to speak, and some even patted him on the shoulders, saying that he would understand in the future.

But even so, Kitano felt that the Mejiro family had much less pressure on marriage than the Yuto family. And Fujiwara Reiko was just having an affair with Mejiro Ryan, so it wasn't a big deal. After all, they didn't lose anything to each other, right?

"I've heard that the head of the Mejiro family is a very kind old man. I also met her before at the selection competition. Perhaps the head of the Mejiro family won't ask anything this time, but just wants to give some instructions to the two of us who are the trainers of the Mejiro family's racehorses."

"But I turned Ryan gay." Upon hearing this, Fujiwara Reiko raised her head with a mournful look and said tremblingly, "If I turned the eldest daughter of the Mejiro family gay... I'd die miserably, right?"

"Senior, I think this isn't your question, but one Ryan should answer." Kitano chuckled and said, "Master Mejiro isn't unreasonable. Furthermore, with the power of the Mejiro family... Honestly, ever since we became trainers for the Mejiro family's horse girls, our every move has probably been under his watch."

Kitano, who knew a little about the inside story of the Mejiro family, smiled bitterly at this fact. Facing Fujiwara Reiko's horrified gaze, Kitano said softly, "The head of the Mejiro family must have known about this for a long time. If she really wanted to intervene, she would have done so long ago. And if the head of the Mejiro family really wanted to make things difficult for you, then why did she call me and Shanxin, who have nothing to do with this matter?"

"So, Senior, there's no need to worry too much. This time, Shanxin and I will accompany you to the Mejiro family. Even if there's danger, we'll bear it together. And Shanxin and I have never done anything that crosses the line."

"I always feel like you, the junior, know the Mejiro family better than me, the senior."

Under Kitano's comfort, Fujiwara Reiko seemed to slowly regain some of her spirit. However, she looked at Kitano with a strange look and asked suspiciously, "Did Shanxin tell you these things? Ryan never mentioned anything about the internal affairs of the Mejiro family to me."

"Well, I guess so. I'm pretty familiar with the horse girls from the Mejiro family."

Kitano also laughed it off. He would not say that according to his experience, except for Mejiro Ryan who was being taught by Fujiwara Reiko now, he had already taught all the young generation of horse girls in the Mejiro family. In his eyes, the backyard of the Mejiro family was no more unfamiliar than Tresen Academy.

But I also need to inform Zenshin about this matter. With this in mind, Kitano took out his phone and sent a text message to Mejiro Zenshin. He didn't plan to bring more horse girls with him—after all, the Mejiro family had only invited the two trainers, and there was unlikely to be any danger in going to the Mejiro family this time, so apart from Zenshin, he didn't need to bring anyone else.

So, Kitano also sent an email to Shanxin, saying, "Shanxin, I just received a notice from the head of the Mejiro family, inviting me and Senior Fujiwara to go to the Mejiro family together. If it is convenient, could you please come with us?"

……

"Dangdang!"

However, Mejiro Zenshin, who was lying on the bed in the dormitory at this moment, rolled off the bed after receiving Kitano's email. However, at this moment, she had no way to take care of her pain. Her attention was completely attracted by Kitano's email.

Grandma, are you inviting the trainers to a dinner at the Mejiro household?! Yes, what are you doing? And you're bringing Trainer Fujiwara along? Isn't that Ryan's trainer? Why are you inviting them?

However, when Shanxin was thinking this, the scene where his grandmother "entrusted" him to Kitano after the selection competition suddenly appeared in his mind, and his cheeks suddenly turned red.

Could it be that - Grandmother wants to... No, no, no, if that's the case, why bring Trainer Fujiwara with her?

But when Shanxin thought of this, she remembered what happened to Fujiwara Reiko and Mejiro Rein, and the fact that her sister had even sent her trainer to the hospital, she suddenly felt that this possibility was greater!

One was Kitano, who had already "entrusted" himself to her, and the other was Fujiwara, a fact that had already become a fait accompli. Now, at this hour, at night, heading to the Mejiro household for a banquet—what on earth was Grandmother planning?!

The delusional believer didn't know what to do for a moment. She, who had always been cheerful and sunny, was now at a loss like an ordinary girl. She had no choice but to open her mobile phone in a panic and call her sister Mu Bai Lai En.

"Hello? Sister Shanxin?"

"Ryan, did you know that our trainer is going to the Mejiro family for a banquet?" The believer asked Ryan on the other end of the phone with a bit of prayer, but she was responded to by silence at first, but the next moment, there was a voice of surprise.

"Hey! Is the trainer going to the Mejiro household?! And he's bringing Zenshin-nee's trainer along? Then, is Grandmother going to—"

Ryan on the other end of the line clearly realized something, his tone changing from initial surprise to immense joy. He immediately exclaimed, "Great, great—no, there's a big crisis! Sister Shanxin! We need to get ready quickly! Go to the Mejiro household with the trainers! This is a huge deal!"

The future of her and Shanxin might be confirmed at this dinner! Ryan's ecstatic thoughts at this moment were self-evident, and Ryan's reaction further verified Shanxin's thoughts at the moment.

This dinner party... Grandmother, perhaps she really intends to completely bind them to their own trainers in their "lifelong events" just like in the past.

Chapter 156: Is there any doubt about the fact that Mejiro Castle is a den of man-eating demons?

This time, Kitano did not inform the other horse girls in the team. After all, strictly speaking, the head of the Mejiro family only invited two trainers, him and Fujiwara Reiko. Bringing Zenshin was just Kitano's way of calming Fujiwara Reiko's emotions and making her feel more at ease.

Of course, Kitano also felt that it was necessary for him to take Shanxin to the Mejiro family this time. Shanxin is no longer the marginalized character who was ignored by the Mejiro family in the past. She has now been recognized by the head of the Mejiro family and has become a person who can help McQueen and Ryan move towards the goal of "Emperor's Award".

Although Kitano felt that the approval of the head of the Mejiro family did not mean much to him, regardless of whether Zenshin was recognized or not, she would still be Kitano's horse girl. However, within the Mejiro family, for Zenshin Mejiro, it could bring a completely different impression to her in front of the family members.

This marked a change in the family's status, meaning she was now treated equally with the talented Ryan and McQueen. This held great significance for her in the Mejiro household. This was also her first time back home since the trials, and Kitano felt compelled to go with her, a chance to help her gain some respect.

Although Shanxin might think it's unnecessary, Kitano is still very clear about the meaning behind it. With the support of the Mejiro family, Shanxin can get convenience and advantages in many aspects of training and competition in the future, which is very important to her.

Furthermore, everyone's praise is also important for current believers to increase their confidence. A change in the attitudes of family members may help resolve some of the believers' childhood resentment.

Kitano remembered that Shanxin had mentioned that as a child, because she wasn't particularly talented, the elders in her family always compared her to her sisters, which made her a little depressed. If this mentality could be changed at this dinner, it would be good for Shanxin's future.

With this idea in mind, Kitano dressed up nicely this time and wore a formal suit. After all, this might be the first time in this week that he would appear in front of the members of the Mejiro family as the trainer of Mejiro Yoshinobu, and he couldn't leave a bad impression.

Fujiwara Reiko shared the same idea as Kitano in this regard. This senior, who was originally quite sloppy, chose to face her own fate after confirming that she could not escape this wave. She put on the most expensive set of clothes in her wardrobe, took a shower and blew her hair in one go, as if she was determined to die in a glamorous way even when facing death.

The two of them gathered at the school gate. The Mejiro family's car hadn't arrived yet. Fujiwara Reiko, still anxiously awaiting her trial, paced back and forth, then asked Kitano, "Junior, hasn't your family's supervisor arrived yet? It's almost time."

"It's only a few minutes away, don't worry, Senior. Shanxin won't be late." Kitano wasn't nervous at all. He answered Fujiwara Reiko's message while scrolling through his phone, and said softly, "Don't be nervous, Fujiwara-senpai. The Mejiro family's car hasn't arrived yet, and they won't cancel at the last minute no matter how anxious you are. Why don't you think about other things and relax a little? This trip to the Mejiro family is a very serious occasion."

"I always feel like my junior is calmer than me. Could it be that when it comes to dealing with the Mejiro family, he's my senior?"

However, this was her first direct encounter with the head of a prominent family, and Fujiwara Reiko's nervousness was understandable. After all, she wasn't like Kitano, who, even at her most ordinary, had already met the biggest names in the horse racing world. This was her first time interacting with the upper class, so her nervousness was natural.

But Fujiwara Reiko was more worried about losing her composure than being nervous. After listening to Kitano's advice, she tried to find something else to distract herself. Her gaze fell on Kitano, who was now dressed in a suit and looked composed. After a long pause, she muttered to herself, "I didn't realize you were quite handsome like this, Junior-kun."

"Hmm? Ah...thank you."

Kitano didn't expect Fujiwara Reiko's words to suddenly turn to him, and nodded somewhat uncomfortably. However, Fujiwara Reiko still couldn't get rid of her anxiety, and asked anxiously, "Youngster... you said that the Mejiro family mainly wanted to see us this time... If she really wants me to be responsible for Ryan, should I agree or not?"

"I don't know about this either. It wasn't me who had the affair with Ma'er, the eldest daughter of the Mejiro family." When this was mentioned, Kitano, who had been a virgin for a hundred years, had a look of dejection on his face. He had no emotion at all about this matter, only a strong sense of sourness.

He's a grown man, still a virgin after all these weeks. And yet, he's been surpassed by a female trainer in terms of being jumped by his own horse. What's he supposed to say? Let the woman go and let him take the fall?

Thinking this way, Kitano was also annoyed and wanted to intimidate his senior who graduated earlier than him. He said lightly: "But I think your opinion is useless. If the head of the Mejiro family really thinks so, then even if you refuse, it will be meaningless... The basement of the Mejiro family is probably prepared for this kind of situation."

However, such words were merely Kitano's shift from the current normal worldview to the secondary Trepp worldview. According to the normal secondary Trepp worldview, someone like this senior would surely be gradually twisted from a straight woman into an unrecognizable person in a cannibalistic den like Mejiro Castle, becoming a useless person who can only say "Ah Ba Ah Ba"?

After all, if you can't get it, you will destroy it. Forcing the horse to jump PTSD or something like that is a normal operation of the secondary creation of Trepp's world view, and it is not to be missed.

Of course, this was just Kitano trying to scare Fujiwara Reiko. This was the real Uma Musume world, not the Trepp from the original series. And as far as he knew, the Mejiro family didn't have a basement.

But Kitano's threats were definitely a huge stimulus to the nervous Fujiwara Reiko at the moment. Because in her mind, Kitano was definitely more familiar with the existence of the Mejiro family than she was. Now that she was in crisis, Fujiwara Reiko believed almost everything Kitano said.

The sad future Kitano talked about now caused the sensitive Fujiwara Reiko to overreact immediately. She hugged Kitano excitedly and cried loudly, "No! I'm straight! I'm the one who was raped! I don't want to go into the basement!"

"Youngster, please save me! I'm only 26! I don't want to go into the basement at such a young age. If you want to lock me up, then lock me up here. You'll definitely be jumped to death in the future anyway, but I'm not married yet!"

"Leng, calm down, senior! And what you said just now was particularly inhumane!" Kitano did not expect Fujiwara Reiko's reaction to be so intense. He tried to comfort her in a hurry, but he felt a little awkward in his heart because of Fujiwara Reiko's words just now.

What do you mean by "lock him up if you want to?" And what do you mean by "he'll definitely be jumped to death in the future"? He's been a virgin for so many games, never having been confessed to by a horse girl. How can he be the same as the trainer he's been forced to jump to death at this moment?

It's hilarious, it's impossible. Kitano, who was confident in his own loneliness, felt that even if he really did fall into Trepp's worldview, he wouldn't be able to fall.

"Don't worry, senior, I was just joking. The Mejiro family doesn't have a basement. If you don't believe me, you can ask your Ryan, or wait for the believer to come and ask her. This kind of thing will never happen."

"So, please let me go quickly. It would be bad if the believers saw me. The believers' mouths are not very reliable. If the news gets to your family, it will be disastrous."

Kitano has now mastered the correct way to comfort Fujiwara Reiko. As expected, as soon as Mejiro Rian was mentioned, Fujiwara Reiko, who was originally crying, immediately came to her senses. The next second, she restored the demeanor of a dignified lady, wiped her tears as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, a figure was slowly approaching from a distance. After seeing Kitano's figure clearly, he hesitated for a moment and still stepped forward, but with a trembling tone of shyness, he called softly: "Trainer... I'm here." "Shanxin!" Kitano turned around immediately when he heard the familiar voice. However, the moment Kitano saw Shanxin at this time, even he, who had seen a lot of things, had his pupils jump and looked frightened.

I only saw that the believer had taken off her school uniform for some reason and put on a pure white dress. The style was still quite solemn, but it had a lot of lace designs added to it, as if it was made to look like a princess dress.

It would not be unusual to see other young ladies wearing such a dress, but the person wearing this dress was Mejiro Yoshinobu - a horse girl who, in Kitano's opinion, was more suitable to be called a "handsome guy" than a beautiful woman.

"How is it, Trainer?" Shanxin seemed unaccustomed to wearing such clothes. He asked Kitano with a shy and unsure look, "It really doesn't suit me at all, does it? But I only have one formal dress in the dorm... and it was Dabo who picked it out for me..."

"No... Rather than saying it's inappropriate, it's more like I'm a little surprised." Kitano was just dazed for a moment, but he did not deny that this long skirt was very suitable for Shanxin. Shanxin was not bad looking, but her personality was a little boyish. However, she was also a beauty with a figure that was no less beautiful than the aura of the Holy King.

"But... surely Shanxin should be more suitable for men's clothing? A tuxedo would be nice..." Kitano muttered to himself, and the image of Shanxin in a tuxedo, a beautiful woman in men's clothing, emerged in his mind...

Well, that might be more suitable for believers. Sure enough, the menswear look is perfect for handsome guys with big breasts like this. Back then, good operas also liked to dress like this, and it was simply a charm that appealed to both men and women.

But even so, Kitano did not forget to acknowledge Shanxin's taste and said softly, "It suits you very well, Shanxin. I just didn't expect you to be so suitable for wearing long skirts. I didn't notice this before."

"Yes, really..."

Kitano's mumblings didn't escape the ears of the believer. As a horse girl, her hearing was much better than that of humans. When the shy believer heard Kitano say that men's clothing was more suitable for her, she silently took note of it.

So Trainer-kun prefers men's clothing... What a unique hobby. So, how about trying that next time? It should be more comfortable than a skirt.

"Shinshin, let me introduce you. This is Senior Fujiwara Reiko. She's the one who went with us to the Mejiro household this time, and she's also Ryan's trainer." Kitano led Shinshin to Fujiwara Reiko and said softly, "She was the one who first introduced you, Shinshin, to me. She's our benefactor."

"Hello, Trainer Fujiwara." As for Fujiwara Reiko, Shan Xin knew that it was because of her that he had met Trainer Jun. Everything he had now could be said to have started with her. Naturally, he greeted her very politely, "Sister Ryan always mentioned you to me, saying that you were the best trainer she had ever met."

"You're welcome..." When mentioning Ryan, Fujiwara Reiko's expression became a little stiff. She immediately changed the subject and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's go. Hasn't the Mejiro family's car arrived yet?"

"Ah, please wait a moment, someone hasn't arrived yet." The believer immediately responded after hearing this, and at this moment, another voice was heard not far away.

"Trainer! You're here!"

"Huh?! R-Ryan?!"

However, upon hearing the familiar voice of his supervisor, Fujiwara, who had been only slightly nervous, immediately froze. Not far away, Mejiro Rein, also wearing a long dress like Shanxin, approached them quickly with a look of surprise and a hint of shyness on his face.

At this moment, Fujiwara Reiko seemed to have seen the end of her life... For her, this trip to the Mejiro family was really a one-way trip, wasn't it?

Chapter 157: Aldan's Schrodinger-like illness

Shortly after Shanxin and Ryan arrived, the Mejiro family's luxury car arrived at the entrance of Tresen College. Kitano and Fujiwara Reiko had no right to refuse and simply got into the car, slowly driving towards the Mejiro family.

Inside the car, however, the atmosphere was somewhat different. Mejiro Ryan seemed extremely excited, almost impatient. Although he was a bit shy, he was mostly excited.

Instead, the devotee seemed quiet and nervous. The car lights illuminated her cheeks, making them slightly red. Her fingers intertwined, she seemed a little uneasy, yet also a little bit expectant.

As for Kitano and Fujiwara Reiko... they are now staring at their mobile phones and typing, appearing very calm, but judging from Fujiwara Reiko's typing speed - she is not as calm as she looks.

"Youngster! What's going on? Didn't they say that only Shanxin would come? Why did Ryan suddenly appear here?!"

"Could it be that you betrayed me? You actually betrayed your own senior?! If I can't make it out alive this time, I will drag you down to the basement to keep you company even if I die!"

However, facing Fujiwara-senpai's accusation, Kitano himself was also confused. He didn't know why Shanxin suddenly asked Ryan to come with him. He originally planned to bring Shanxin with him.

Could it be that the believers had misunderstood as well? Did they really come here to listen to the Mejiro family head arrange a marriage for them?

This was the only possibility Kitano could immediately think of. After all, with Fujiwara-senpai's current trajectory, even if this world wasn't Trepp, given the Mejiro family's openness regarding their children's marriages, she would likely remain with the Mejiro family for the rest of her life, becoming their next "exclusive trainer," contributing to the family's future generations. And if Kitano and Zennobu were to be included, that would make it two couples, so taking this opportunity to finalize the deal would be a done deal.

But when Kitano thought about it rationally, he felt that this was impossible.

Firstly, Shanxin had only known him for less than two weeks, and the head of the Mejiro family had only met him once. Even if the head of the Mejiro family was very open about the marriage status of his descendants, it was impossible for him to give a promising young lady of the Mejiro family to him after meeting him once, right?

What happened to the Mejiro family's long-cherished wish? What happened to the pursuit of the Emperor's Award? Finally seeing a promising candidate, this isn't the way to give it away, is it? This obviously doesn't make sense, does it?

What's more, Kitano and Zenshin had only known each other for less than two weeks, and Kitano thought he had no experience in dating - it would be better to say that people like him were more suitable to skip dating and directly develop a husband-and-wife relationship with Uma Musume, and it would be better if the husband-and-wife relationship lasted for a long time after marriage, but he was really not good at dating.

A man who has been virgin since before he traveled through time, even with so many horse girls who acted like they were married for a long time, he still remained a virgin. This made Kitano completely insecure about his attractiveness to the opposite sex.

Just like that, after only two weeks of knowing the believer, he was able to capture this handsome and beautiful woman who was considered a "heartthrob" at Tresen College? If he had such charm, would he have remained a virgin until today?

Clearly, the one who misunderstood wasn't Shanxin, but Ryan. Ryan must have heard the news herself and followed, and judging by Ryan's expression... she might have really been treating this dinner as an opportunity to confirm her relationship with her trainer.

If that was the case... Kitano could only wish his senior good luck. Judging from Uma Musume's physique, his senior would have to adapt to repeated dehydration in the future. Otherwise, she would end up like the middle-aged men in those videos, trembling all over at the mere mention of their wives' coquettish voices and sleeping on the sofa as a bed.

"Everyone, we're here."

At this moment, the Mejiro family's car finally stopped slowly, and the driver in front immediately got out of his seat. Soon, the doors of both rows of the car slowly opened, and the attendants helped everyone get out of the car one by one as if they were entertaining VIPs.

Before Kitano and his companions lay a pristine, white, palace-like mansion steeped in European charm. And no matter how many times Kitano visited, every time he gazed upon the towering white walls, especially when the iron gates slowly swung open with such anticipation, he always felt that the name "Mejiro Castle" wasn't entirely original.

It’s this iron gate that always makes Kitano feel like he’s in prison... I don’t know what the head of the Mejiro family is thinking.

"Welcome everyone, to the Mejiro family."
