The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

"That's right."

However, Aldan smiled slightly when he heard this. Her answer made Mi Yu and Saint King Halo tremble subconsciously. At this moment, even Saint King Halo, who had his back to them, couldn't help but open his eyes, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"Senior Aldan, what you mean by liking someone is..." Mi Yu did not expect that his words would receive a positive answer. His heart was in turmoil and his emotions became complicated.

"My love for you is similar to your love for Trainer Kitano."

However, Aldan did not answer the question directly, but threw the question to Mi Yu. For a moment, there was a strange silence, and Mi Yu slowly calmed down from the initial nervousness.

Is it the same as Mi Yu...? However, Mi Yu herself doesn't know what kind of love she has for her brother.

Could it be that… Senior Aldan also feels the same way as Mi Yu? Are they the same?

Suddenly, the room fell silent again, and soon only the steady sound of breathing remained. Mi Yu and Aldan slowly closed their eyes and fell asleep, filled with questions.

But now, there was another horse girl in the room who was completely sleepless... Because of the conversation between the two girls, she was so confused at the moment that she couldn't pretend that she didn't hear anything.

So… Aldan and Miyu, they both liked that guy? That second-rate guy? But what was his charm?

Moreover, Aldan said that she and Miyu had the same feelings about Kitano. What did that mean? Could it be that she worshipped him as a brother like Miyu did?

Also...why do I care so much when I hear that someone else likes him?

The confused Saint King Halo was lost for a moment. She felt like crying out of grievance, but she didn't know why. In the end, she just closed her eyes and pretended that nothing had happened.

Don't let these things affect you, Holy King Halo, think about something that makes you happy, and you will fall asleep...

However, when the Holy King was thinking this, the shadow of a person always appeared in her imagination...that was the memory of that person when she was alone with him.

Slowly, the Holy King fell asleep in such memories. The smile on the corner of her mouth brought tears to the corners of her eyes, which slowly emerged and fell together.

Chapter 177: Dream of the Holy King's Halo, Memories of the Past?

The Holy King's aura, in a trance, seemed to feel herself running. She had forgotten why she was running at this moment. Was she training? The surrounding environment looked like the training ground of Tresen Academy, but it seemed a little different.

Saint King Halo felt that his spirit was more scattered than ever before, as if he had run 10,000 meters with his teeth and eyes closed, and at the speed of a race. His whole head was confused and extremely unclear.

She knew that it was very dangerous to run in such a trance, so she slowly stopped and planned to take a good rest at the side.

Just when she stopped, suddenly, two hands reached out to her, one hand holding sports water and the other holding a towel, and handed them to her, as if they were intended for her to use.

When the Saint King's aura looked at that person, he found that his face was a little unclear due to the lighting. He could only vaguely feel that this person looked a little familiar...

"You ran really well, Sheng Wang-san. I'm a new trainer, and I'm still searching for a suitable horse girl to take on."

"If possible, could you be my Uma Musume? I'm a newbie, but perhaps I can help you on your future journey."

Help me? A new trainer who just arrived at the academy? Saint King Halo took the water from the man, but was slightly stunned by his words. The next moment, she threw the unopened water back without any hesitation and said lightly, "No thanks. I'm a first-rate horse girl. I won't let some third-rate guy order me around."

Wait, why didn't she say she already had a trainer? That didn't seem like what she wanted to say. The Saint King's aura was also a little strange. She also felt that the scene before her seemed to be just a passing scene, and she had no way to control her body.

That means x... now she is just dreaming?

But even so, Saint King Halo didn't think there was anything wrong with rejecting the new trainer. Although she joined Kitano's team and Kitano was also a new trainer, that was because she was willing to accept defeat.

She looked down upon ordinary rookie trainers. Thinking this way, her body left the scene along with her thoughts. She didn't notice that the young rookie trainer behind her seemed to have anticipated this.

Another moment of trance struck her, as if... it was the next day? Saint King Halo was running on the training ground again, feeling incredibly exhausted. But this time, when she sat down, she found a bottle of water and a clean towel beside her.

Such a familiar configuration made her subconsciously turn her head and look around. Sure enough, she saw a person whose face she still couldn't see clearly waving at her, but he was far away from her... Obviously, these things were placed here by him.

It seemed that he had suffered a loss last time and felt that the Holy King was the kind of person who was unwilling to accept favors from others. He changed his method to one that seemed more acceptable to the Holy King. In this way, he thought the Holy King would accept it.

However, who was Saint King Halo? How could she accept such charity? What was the difference between leaving supplies lying around for casual use and charity?

Thinking of this, Saint King Halo became even more angry. He stood up and left the scene. The man was also stunned, not knowing what he had done wrong.

Then, it was the next day... During the training this time, the Holy King saw that person standing not far away, watching her.

However, after this time, the Holy King did not accept the supplies handed over by that person like he did in the previous two days. He just watched from afar, as if he only needed the Holy King to wave and he would come over and hand over everything in his hands to the Holy King.

But the Holy King still did not do so. She had her own dignity and would not accept charity from a fool whom she had rejected twice.

On the third day, the Holy King saw him again, but she still chose to ignore him.

On the fourth day, it was him again, and the Holy King was already beginning to feel disgusted.

On the fifth day, why was he still there? What was the point of watching her run every day? She wouldn't accept anything from him.

Day 6… I really can’t take it anymore. Why is this guy haunting me?!

The cycle continued day after day. No matter it was windy or rainy, Saint King Halo would continue to train. However, that figure seemed to be at odds with her and waited for her at the training ground every day.

At first, Saint King Halo just regarded him as a fool, and later gradually felt that he was a pervert who had set his sights on her - but gradually, as time went by, Saint King Halo began to feel that his training seemed to be much more effective than before.

Maybe it was because that guy was staring at her... Although Saint King Halo was disgusted, she became very serious in every training session, and tried to spend as much time and energy as possible every time, just to wait for that guy to leave first, so that she would win.

But unexpectedly, that guy never left once. Every time she left, he followed. The result was that every Saint King training became unusually serious, and his endurance was significantly improved with each training session.

But Saint King Halo would never admit that some of her current achievements were inseparable from that pervert. Her training was for herself! Not to please the pervert who was staring at her all day!

Even though he had been doing this for a whole month...but the Saint King Halo had never accepted his kindness even once from the beginning to the end.

But even so, Saint King Halo didn't seem to be moved. Just like that, she had her debut competition, and she won extremely beautifully, as if she had won the debut competition in a way that matched her first-class status. In that game, Saint King Halo could still be seen, silently applauding herself from the side.

And after that, there were three consecutive victories. In every victory, Saint King Halo could see him in the audience, applauding and cheering for himself. Although Saint King Halo did not say it, in his heart, he had gradually regarded that person as his number one fan.

But for some reason... after this victory, why wasn't there even a hint of a smile on his face? Although he was applauding, he looked worried. What was he worried about?

After the victory, the Holy King Halo ran slowly around the racecourse. She remembered... that day, it was raining, which she didn't like, and she was running in a heavy racecourse, which she didn't like. But facing so many disadvantages, she finally won.

Her next stop will be the Gaoyue Sang, the first stop of the classic triple crown, which is about to begin for her...

"Holy King? Holy King? Wake up."

"Hey? I, I...what's wrong with me?"

However, in a trance, the Holy King's aura slowly woke up, and when she opened her eyes, all the dark clouds and haze had dissipated, replaced by a bright sunshine. Beside the Holy King, at this moment, Kitano was looking at her worriedly, and she had unknowingly sat down on a bench.

"I am..."

"I was just explaining the new training plan to everyone when I noticed you fell asleep while standing." Kitano looked at the still dazed Saint King Halo beside him and said with a mixture of worry and blame: "After I left last night, did you stay up late to draw up the draft for the decisive uniform? Didn't I tell you not to let those things take up too much of your rest time?"

"No, I just...didn't sleep well."

Saint King Halo realized belatedly that his head was dizzy, obviously because he didn't sleep well last night. He muttered to himself in frustration, "I just need to rest for a while. I won't fall behind in my training."

"What's the point of talking about training now? Your safety and health are the most important." Kitano naturally understood Saint King Halo's unyielding character. To train like that, no matter rain or shine, someone had to take advantage of her weakness and give her firm orders. He had suffered enough in this regard last week.

"I'll help you to the health room. Go there and have a good rest. Let's put today's training aside for now. When you've recovered enough, we'll continue with your training plan."

As he spoke, Kitano helped up the slightly weak body of Saint King Halo. Now, Kitano temporarily handed the training over to Aldan for supervision. He had to do it himself to feel at ease about the situation of Saint King Halo.

"But my job..."

"Don't worry, Holy King. You are the captain, but you are not a slave. I am sharing your work with you. If you are not healthy, I cannot safely give you all the work."

Facing the still stubborn Saint King's aura, Kitano replied with experience, "So, your top priority right now is to recover quickly. Aldan and I will help you with your work. As for the design of the victory suit... if you trust me, I can help you make some modifications based on the original manuscript. Don't worry, I won't touch your manuscript. I'll just copy it and add my own suggestions."

Of course, Kitano knew what everyone's winning uniform looked like. As a Hermes who traveled through time before, he could see the winning uniforms of the horse girls in the team several times a day, and he could remember the general idea with his eyes closed.

The reason why she kept it to herself was to take Saint King Halo's feelings into consideration. Otherwise, if she designed it for her, wouldn't he feel completely indifferent? Even if she wore it, she wouldn't feel proud of herself for being better than her mother.

But now the Holy King is in such a bad condition, I will just help her with some of the details. After she recovers, she should have some inspiration.

"Okay, I grant you this power."

The Holy King's Halo, whose worries were all solved, finally gave in. She leaned weakly on Kitano. In a trance, she seemed to feel that this scene was inexplicably familiar.

It was as if... she had leaned on him like this after a certain failure. But, would she fail? What had she failed at? What had she suffered such a huge blow?

Wait, why... the person in the dream seems so similar to him?

Chapter 178: Good opera also wants to join the team as an assistant?

Kitano came to the health room of Tresen College with the help of Saint King Halo. Although Tresen College has its own internal horse girl hospital, Saint King Halo's situation should not be necessary. He just needs to lie down in the health room for a while.

"Well, take a good rest then. Don't worry, I'll be with you at noon. Just get some sleep now."

"You're standing by the bedside of a first-class king, and you don't even realize you're a servant? You're quite bold."

However, even though she was a little exhausted now, the pride and tone of the Holy King's halo seemed to be engraved in her bones, making her unwilling to be at a disadvantage no matter what.

As Kitano was about to leave, Saint King Halo was uncharacteristically arrogant and unyielding. When Kitano was about to get up and leave, he actually reached out his hand and grabbed Kitano's sleeve. With a somewhat blaming tone, he said, "At times like this... As a trainer, you have to be by my side at all times. You are my trainer... right?"

"So now, sit down and enjoy the unique opportunity to admire my beautiful face."

But I have carefully admired your flawless face many times before - if the current Holy King's aura had the same memories of the past as Kitano, Kitano would definitely answer the Holy King like this.

However, at this moment, facing this extremely rare Saint King aura that seemed a little fragile due to fatigue, Kitano couldn't bear to refuse her stubborn request.

So, he slowly sat back down beside Saint King Halo's bed and placed his hands on Saint King Halo's palms that were holding his sleeves. After feeling the warmth of Kitano's palms, Saint King's palms obviously relaxed and became soft.

"Don't worry, I'm always by your side, Holy King. Now take a good rest."

"Think about something that makes you happy or relaxes you, and you'll fall asleep quickly."

Thinking about something happy...like last night?

The Saint King, who was in a state of distress at the moment, subconsciously followed Kitano's instructions. She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of Kitano's hand on her palm. Just like her insomniac self the previous night, she slowly imagined the same scene from yesterday.

In his mind, he repeatedly recalled the not-so-many interactions and memories between him and Kitano, but at this moment, what the Holy King wanted to recall more was the scene in his dream.

She vaguely felt that these fictitious dreams seemed to contain something very important to her... She wanted to recall it quickly, so that perhaps deep in her heart she could find some comfort and relief.

……

More than ten minutes later, Kitano's figure finally left the infirmary. He watched Saint King Halo until she fell into a deep sleep before leaving. During this time, he also covered Saint King with a quilt, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, poured a glass of water and placed it aside before leaving with peace of mind.

It was rare to see Saint King Halo act so spoiled. Even Kitano, who had the experience from last week, was surprised. It was conceivable how worried Kitano was about the Saint King's condition this time...

Fortunately, Kitano also confirmed that the Holy King did not have a fever, and he probably just did not sleep well last night - after all, three girls squeezed into one bed, which would be really uncomfortable for a spoiled horse girl like the Holy King. He should have considered this yesterday.

"Really... I was careless. I should have advised the Holy King to go back and rest yesterday."

Thinking of this, Kitano couldn't help but blame himself, but fortunately the problem now was not big, and Mi Yu and Aldan didn't seem to be affected. But if this was the case, the Holy King would no longer be able to stay in the team room to rest in the future.

"Having a disrupted biological clock is very troublesome for a girl... Even though the Holy King is a horse girl, we should give her more time to recuperate."

"However, during this period of time, the Holy King's work will have to be handed over to me again. I will hand it over to Aldan... Given her physical condition, it's better to put less burden on her."

Kitano had never expected Aldan to help him with too many complicated tasks. Apart from cleaning the team room regularly and helping to supervise the training when Kitano was too busy, Kitano really didn't dare to give the rest of the work to Aldan. Although he didn't say it, he actually cared about Aldan's health more than anyone else.

Although he always felt that a happy mood was the best way to cure Aldan's weakness, he still had to consider Aldan's physical condition, and there were many things that only he, the trainer, could do and no one else could replace him.

In this case, during the week when the Holy King is recuperating, Kitano seems to have to take on most of the work by himself, and even have to share some of the matters concerning the decisive server at the Holy King's place... It seems that his rest time will have to say goodbye to him completely, and he also has to say goodbye to the izakaya and other places.

"You look so sad, Your Highness. Even with the sadness on your beautiful face, it's still so dazzling. It's so heartbreakingly beautiful that I can't help but cry."

At this moment, a voice that Kitano felt extremely familiar slowly sounded behind him. Kitano had just left the infirmary when he saw the girl in her school uniform, Good Opera, walking towards him with a faint smile. She bowed gracefully and said with a chuckle, "Long time no see, my princess. I haven't seen you for a few days, but you don't look happy?"

"Could it be that the First Knight, whom I, the Overlord, placed such high hopes on, failed to protect your smile? Ah, how heartbreaking! Is it that I, the Overlord, must be the only one to protect your heart and smile?"

"No...it has nothing to do with Bourbon. It's just my own problem."

Kitano was not surprised by the sudden arrival of Good Opera - he always felt that during this period of time, many horse girls liked to actively approach him, such as Sirius and Rudolph.

Well, at least Kitano now knew why Rudolph always came to see him. After knowing Rudolph's strange affection for him, Kitano now thought that it was no wonder that he felt that Rudolph was a little talkative at that time. It turned out that he thought she "liked" him.

As for Good Opera… Kitano was beginning to think that her situation was similar to Ludo Symbol's. Perhaps it was the lingering affection from that past playthrough that had made her feel so close to him. Good Opera was just that kind of Uma Musume, never hiding her deep affection for others. Therefore, it was understandable that she would express it more directly than Ludo Symbol.

However, the mention of Bourbon in the opera reminded Kitano that he hadn't really paid enough attention to his "number one horse girl" recently. After all, compared to the others, Bourbon was much easier for him to worry about and basically never caused him any trouble.

But yesterday's loneliness of Mi Yu and the sudden emotional outburst of Saint King Halo made Kitano realize that perhaps he should comfort the emotions of the other members. Aldan's arrival seemed to have caused them to have some negative emotions.

Although Kitano felt that time would prove that Aldan's joining would be beneficial to everyone in the team, Kitano could not ignore the emotions everyone was showing now... He felt that he should perhaps learn from other trainers and see how they dealt with the situation of having so many horse girls.

"It's just that there have been a lot of things going on recently, and the situation of the Holy King Halo is not good. I just sent her to the infirmary to rest."

"Oh, my knight, second only to the Overlord, has fallen ill? That's not good."

Good Opera nodded when she heard this, and had a general understanding of the situation Kitano was facing now. Although she had not appeared in front of Kitano during this period of time, she was still well aware of the news within Kitano's team.

"I heard that Her Royal Highness has a new knight in her troop, as beautiful yet delicate as a snowflake? Oh, it seems she's not a knight, but a squire? Can't she share your worries?"

"Squire...ah, you mean Aldan. Has this matter spread so quickly in Tresen Academy?"

Kitano was also a little surprised. Aldan had just joined his team yesterday and had only taken over his place to supervise everyone's training today. He didn't expect that Good Opera would find out so soon.

If it was Rudolf who knew, then Kitano was not surprised. After all, in Tresen College, the Symbolist family actually had a lot of spies. Even the entire Tresen College was secretly used as a spy by Rudolf - but Good Opera did not have such a wide intelligence network. If she knew, it must have been through the college forum or other gossip means.

In response to Good Opera's question, Kitano smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "No, Aldan has actually been trying hard to help me... but... Good Opera, you know, she's the daughter of the Mejiro family. She came to the team to help me, and I was actually under a lot of pressure."

"Besides, her health is not good, and I really don't want to assign her too much work. Aldan is working hard to help me share the burden, but I just feel that many tasks are not suitable for her."
