The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

The conversation with Aldan last night is now constantly lingering in the mind of the East China Sea Emperor. She has been thinking about this issue from yesterday until now. The kindness in her heart keeps sending a signal to the emperor - do what you think is right.

The emperor believed that the right thing to do was to let Aldan and his trainer finally get married, which was the best outcome.

In this way, Aldan-senpai's frail health might be improved, and she also really likes Trainer Kitano... Her own little feelings for Trainer Kitano are really not as good as Aldan-senpai's.

But now, what the emperor found difficult to accept was that she had believed Aldan's words and sincerity in her heart, but she could not believe that Rudo, who had previously said the exact opposite, had deceived her. Because for the emperor, the president was the person she trusted most.

Why did the president lie to her? Was there any need? Wasn't she the most important person to the president?

If she can't even trust the president... then what is the meaning of her relationship with the president?

Such questions kept lingering in the emperor's heart, so much so that when facing Kitano now, the emperor didn't know what to do... Because in her heart, the trainer in front of her, whom she claimed to "like", no longer belonged to her.

All these emotions made the emperor feel confused. Finally, under Kitano's gaze, the emperor clenched his fists slightly.

"I'm sorry, Trainer-san, I'm... a little under the weather."

"Can you put today's training...on hold for a while? I'd like to be alone for a while."

After saying that, the Emperor of the East China Sea ran away in one direction without even looking back. Before Kitano and his group could even react, he had already run a long way away.

"What happened to the Emperor?" The East Sea Emperor's escape also made the other horse racing girls in the team look at him sideways. Kitano was also a little surprised, but he still stopped the girls.

"No need to chase her... I don't know what happened, but according to the emperor, she will come back on her own after a while."

"But we can't just leave the Emperor alone, Trainer." Upon hearing this, Shanxin took the initiative to step forward and said to Kitano. Kitano nodded gently and said, "I will figure this out, Aldan. Sorry to bother you again."

……

Not long after, Luduo, who was working in the Student Union Office, was concentrating on processing documents as usual. But suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, which made Luduo, who was in the office, raise his head slightly.

"Come in." Just as Rudolph finished her symbolic words, the figure of the Emperor of the East China Sea appeared in front of her. Rudolph was also a little surprised, and then asked: "Emperor? Did Trainer Kitano give you a day off today? Don't you have to do morning exercises?"

"President..."

However, the East Sea Emperor's mood wasn't high when he arrived before his most respected guild leader. In her eyes, Rudolph's smile remained as gentle and trustworthy as usual... If it weren't for yesterday's conversation with Aldan, the Emperor would have happily burrowed into Rudolph's arms right now.

But now, for the emperor who wants to figure out some things, it is difficult for him to keep his mood the same as usual. Now, Rudolf can see at a glance that the Emperor of the East China Sea is not in a good mood.

"What's wrong, Emperor? Is there someone in the team... that makes you unhappy?"

"No, President, there are just some things I can't figure out."

The Emperor of the East Sea closed the door of the Student Union, came to sit in front of Rudolph, and couldn't help but look up and ask, "President, I have been in contact with Senior Aldan for a long time recently, but... there is something I can't figure out."

"Aldant-senpai, it seems that he is not as bad as you said. Why did you say that Aldant-senpai would kidnap the trainer-san and take him to the Mejiro family?"

"Oh, that's it."

And Luduo Symbol also suddenly realized after hearing this. The emperor's situation was within her expectations, because Aldan would definitely not tell the truth to the emperor. If Aldan said that she was really chasing her trainer Jun for a family mission, then the emperor would definitely fight her to the end. But now the emperor's hesitation obviously shows that Aldan has been hiding her purpose from the beginning to the end.

Rudolph knew that the Emperor was not a bad person by nature, so if Aldan continued to help Trainer-kun wholeheartedly, it would be difficult for the Emperor to hate Aldan.

But the symbol of Rudo still needs the emperor to interfere with Aldan. Therefore, at this time, the symbol of Rudo feels that he should help the emperor and deepen his "hostility" towards Aldan.

Rudolf, thinking this, smiled and said to the emperor, "Emperor, I know more about the Mejiro family than you do. I can tell you that Mejiro Aldan's motives are not simple. What we said before is absolutely true."

However, Rudolf did not know that her answer, which she thought was the correct answer, was so unreal in the emperor's ears because of Aldan's sincere expression to the emperor yesterday.

For the first time, the Emperor of the East China Sea did not blindly believe Rudolf in his heart. Moreover, because of Rudolf's answer this time, the Emperor of the East China Sea began to doubt Rudolf's words for the first time.

The emperor was naive, but she was not stupid. After discarding the filter of trust, the East China Sea emperor gradually discovered that the words of the president she admired were so unreliable compared to the sincerity she felt from Aldan that day.

Chapter 188: The Emperor Who Exposed Rudolf's "Lies"

"President... I don't understand why you think so much about Aldan-senpai. Are you and Aldan-senpai... very familiar?"

"Well, not really, but she and I are both heirs to our families. You should know that, right, Emperor?"

Rudolf was also somewhat surprised. Today's Emperor of the East Sea seemed less easily fooled than before. In the past, the Emperor would believe anything Rudolf said, but now the Emperor wanted to know about Rudolf's relationship with Aldan, which surprised Rudolf.

But it also indirectly suggests that Ardan has seen through the emperor's hostility towards her these past few days. Perhaps he has done a lot to improve the emperor's favorability? Luduo thought so, but she didn't have a bodyguard to provide her with this information. After all, the bodyguard had only gradually regained control of the situation at Tresen College yesterday.

The battle room, due to her original design and the requests of her predecessors, was completely soundproof. Even the guards of the Symbolist family couldn't eavesdrop through the walls, so the Rudo Symbolist didn't know what the Emperor and Aldan had said the previous night.

However, Rudo Yuzu, now extremely confident in his superior intelligence, didn't pay much attention to the emperor's reaction. He smiled and replied, "Emperor, you should know, right? The two largest horse racing families in Japan are the Yuzu family, to which I belong, and the Mejiro family, to which Aldan belongs. And she and I are the next heirs to these two largest families."

"Yes." The Emperor of the East China Sea nodded when she heard this. Although she didn't understand much about these things, she was still clear about the identities of Aldan and Rudolf.

Seeing the emperor nod, Luduo continued, "As heirs to the family, Aldan and I face a common problem: our husbands."

"I mentioned this to you, Emperor, before. My husband... well, you know, my trainer-kun. But Mejiro Aldan's situation is different from mine. She grew up completely under the resources and protection of the Mejiro family. Therefore, she doesn't have a trainer like me."

"Then, the problem she faces is choosing a suitable husband for herself that is in the best interests of her family, and that's why she approached Trainer Kitano."

This wasn't exactly a lie, but rather a half-truth. Rudo didn't believe that Aldan's current closeness to her trainer, even becoming his assistant, wasn't fueled by the Mejiro clan leader.

Although the head of the Mejiro family is more open-minded in this regard than the old man in her family, if her own child really falls in love with a bad person... She might just sigh for other children, but if Aldan has such poor vision, don't you think she will be anxious?

Therefore, the symbol of Rudo asked the emperor to keep a close eye on Aldan, because she knew Aldan's character. Regardless of whether she really liked her trainer or not, she would carry out the order.

But could Rudolph let her have her way? Of course not! Trainer-kun was hers! Regardless of whether Aldan was sent by the family or she just liked him, she would never give Kitano to her!

"So... the reason why the president asked me to keep an eye on Aldant-senpai is because you think Aldant-senpai doesn't really like Trainer Kitano, and is just doing it because of the Mejiro family mission?"

Rudolph's words made the Emperor of the East Sea even more confused. He frowned and asked Rudolph, "How strange... President."

"Ok?"

"President, you like your trainer-san, and that's sincere, but Aldan-senpai likes my trainer-san, and that's a family mission—that's not right, is it?"

"President, you and Senior Aldan are both heirs to great families, and both love the same person, so why are the results so different?"

"..." However, the innocent words of the East China Sea Emperor touched the sore spot of Lu Duo's symbol in a trance, which was also the most fatal point in her words.

Even Rudolph hadn't expected the East Sea Emperor to ask such a question. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. After a long moment, he looked away with a rare, somewhat erratic expression and said slowly, "It's different...Emperor, but I don't know how to explain it to you."

Okay, Rudolph admitted he was being hypocritical. But in the world of love, there are no rules or fairness. Rudolph wasn't one to foolishly compete with anyone. She wanted results, and as long as she could achieve the desired outcome, the means didn't matter.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, Emperor. Since you're in a bad mood, why don't you come and talk with me? I don't have anything else to do."

"No."

However, the East Sea Emperor's answer surprised the Luduo Symbol immensely. The next moment, tears welled up in the corners of the East Sea Emperor's eyes, his gaze filled with indignation and grievance. He stared intently at the Luduo Symbol before him, gritting his teeth as he said, "No... President... why did you lie to me?"

"Emperor?" Rudolf's pupils narrowed slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.

"President—you're a liar! Senior Aldan—you're not what the president said at all!"

"Why! Why did you lie to me?! I don't want the president to lie to me! I don't want it!"

"emperor?!"

However, the Emperor of the East China Sea shouted loudly and rushed out of the door the next moment. Lu Duo stood up from his seat almost immediately, but still failed to stop the escaping Emperor of the East China Sea.

Watching the Emperor's departing figure, Luduo slowly lowered his palm, his expression becoming gloomy. He muttered to himself, "It seems... I was wrong. The Emperor is just a child. How could I use this method to make her my pawn? If the trainer knew, he would blame me, right?"

But what could she do? She could never change her nature. She could hide it, but she couldn't change it, let alone give her trainer to someone else.

She was even more afraid to make it clear, because then, many of the things she feared would happen - whether it was the speed symbol of uncertainty or the trainer who seemed to be able to restart everything, there was nothing she dared to really gamble on.

Use all the resources at your disposal to gradually make the trainer feel good about you... If this plan is only in its early stages, she still doesn't have enough reasons to approach this trainer who thinks she has no memories.

There must be an opportunity for them to have repeated and reasonable contact... At the beginning, Rudolf's idea was the Emperor of the East China Sea. She was still very concerned about the emperor's emotions, but she did not expect that the emperor would react so strongly this time.

Obviously, this matter is related to Aldan...but how did she influence the emperor?

But no matter what, the most urgent thing is to calm the emperor down. Thinking of this, Rudolph immediately made a call and said anxiously, "Hey, hurry up and locate the emperor. I need to know where he's gone."

……

"Ha ha……"

"President, you are a big liar! President, you are a big liar!"

"Why did you lie to me! Why did you lie to me? I always believed in you!"

After running out of the student union, the Emperor of the East Sea also ran aimlessly to a quiet corner. She was afraid that because the image of Luduo symbolized in her heart collapsed, she would suffer a huge blow and cry. If other people saw her crying, she would only cry even more miserably.

The emperor never considered himself a child, as only children could cry without restraint. Therefore, the emperor chose to curl up in a corner, wiping away his tears.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor heard someone approaching him, accompanied by a panting sound. He turned his head almost subconsciously, only to find an unexpected figure chasing him.

"Huh... Huh..." Panting, Kitano chased the East Sea Emperor all the way from the Student Union gate to him. He had been running for at least two kilometers, barely able to catch his breath. But upon seeing the Emperor, he immediately said, "Emperor, Emperor... ahem... listen, listen to me—what happened?"

"Although I don't know what's going on, don't run so far, just tell me--"

However, before Kitano could finish his words, he felt his chest being tightly hugged by this petite figure. The Emperor of the East China Sea buried his cheek in Kitano's chest, his body twitching, his ears drooping, and he looked extremely aggrieved.

"Alright, alright, stop crying, Emperor. You are a brave and strong child, aren't you? Alright, stop crying."

Kitano, who had no idea how to deal with the crying Uma Musume, didn't know what had happened, but he knew that the emperor had suffered a huge blow. As a Hermes, although he had never taught an emperor before, he was very distressed.

After all, he became a fan of Uma Musume after watching the second season. As the protagonist of the anime, the Emperor of the East Sea never cried even when he had a broken bone. It was not until his dream of winning three championships without a loss was shattered that he even didn't want to be a "Uma Musume" anymore that he cried... Kitano was so heartbroken that he couldn't bear it.

Although the current emperor could only be described as "Imperial Treasure," to make her cry was a huge blow. Kitano didn't know the reason, he just hoped to comfort the emperor first.

Who doesn't like the Emperor? He treats Dibao like his own daughter! If anyone dares to bully Dibao, if Beiye gets angry, he can just do a one-for-one exchange. He can always start over.

After waiting for a while, the emperor's crying gradually subsided. Bei Ye felt that he had a chance and asked softly, "Okay, stop crying. It won't look good if you cry anymore. Emperor, you don't want others to see that you've cried, right?"

"Wipe your tears clean and come with me. I'll take you to a place where you can relax. Oh, and I'll give you a special honey drink."

"Ah."

Now, because of his depressed mood, the emperor had no energy to refute, and he had no way to think about why Kitano had his favorite honey drink in his hand. He took it with one hand and lowered his head to drink it, while letting Kitano hold the other hand and walked in one direction.

Trainer-san's hand... so big and warm. The emperor, who had been held by the hand of a member of the opposite sex for the first time, had such thoughts in his mind at this moment. He didn't know why his faith had collapsed, but now he was in desperate need of spiritual support. He looked at Kitano's figure and made a small gesture.

——She grasped Kitano's hand slightly but forcefully. She had only done this small action symbolically to Luduo. She had hoped that the hand held in this way would never be let go.

Chapter 189: Do you like it? I don’t deserve it

"Bang!" As a basketball entered the basket, the machine quickly displayed a 10/10 shot number, which formed a sharp contrast with the other 3/10 shot number next to it.

"Great!" The Emperor of the East Sea, having achieved perfect accuracy, was now beaming with joy. He said to Kitano beside him with a rather smug look, "Hehe, Your Majesty, I've won again! This is the fifth time, Trainer-san! You already owe me a dessert feast, ten cups of honey special drinks, and fifteen parfaits! Do you want to continue betting?"

"The Emperor is so amazing. Except for the first time, he made all four shots." Kitano also put down the basketball with a smile. His bitter face seemed in stark contrast to the proud Emperor of the East China Sea.

"Sure enough, the emperor is a genius."

"Hehe, Your Majesty, of course I'm a genius. But it's just that you, Trainer Kitano, are too stupid. You only hit three balls on the fifth try."

After the Emperor of the East China Sea ran out of the student union crying and was found by Kitano, Kitano took the Emperor out of the school and went to a pretty good game city to play. Kitano didn't expect this process to be so long at first.

They had been playing since morning and it was already dusk, the sun was about to set. The East Sea Emperor had been so engrossed in the game that he hadn't even eaten lunch. Kitano, who had risked his life to accompany the gentleman, also skipped lunch with the Emperor.

For Kitano now, making the emperor happy again is the most important thing. In the beginning, in order to make the emperor vent his emotions and successfully laugh, Kitano's initial work was very difficult. Now that he has finally aroused the interest of the Emperor of the East China Sea, how can he spoil the emperor's interest because of his own reasons?

For a moment, Kitano also understood the feeling of a husband who was dragged out by his wife, and now he really liked the chair in the clothing store... Although the emperor was not his wife, she was more like his daughter.

Moreover, the emperor is a horse girl. As a female, the physical fitness of a horse girl is even more terrifying. A horse girl has three times the physical fitness of an ordinary person, and a horse girl is even further away... Kitano is playing with at least seven or eight women in turn, and it's a rotation system.

He couldn't bear it, he really couldn't bear it. He wasn't made of iron, where did he get so much energy? Not to mention he hadn't eaten yet... It was a good thing they were just playing together. If the horse jumped, he would probably have fainted by now.

Fortunately, the emperor, who was having so much fun, did not seem to forget to take care of the condition of his trainer, and the fun finally came to an end.

"Ah, so happy, thank you for taking me out to play, Trainer-san—"

Sitting in front of a dessert shop on the street with Kitano, the Emperor of the East China Sea, who had finally had his fill, happily ate pasta and parfait, but there was nothing else in front of Kitano - the food outside was too expensive, and his meal allowance as a trainer could not cover the expenses outside, and he had not received his salary yet.

It would be better to talk to the emperor first and then eat slowly when we get back. Thinking of this, Bei Ye also looked at the emperor who was now smiling happily and said softly: "As long as you are happy, emperor."

"So—what happened? You ran out so upset earlier. Did the Rudo symbol do something to make you angry?"

Kitano thought about it and thought that the person who could make the emperor so sad must be someone she values ​​very much. And among the student union, the person who could be valued by the emperor and also make her sad, Kitano thought, could only be represented by Luduo.

But precisely for this reason, Kitano found it strange. Given Luduo's protective nature, what could she possibly have done to upset the emperor so much? Wasn't she just like the emperor's father? Anyone who dared to touch the emperor would be decapitated by her. What had happened this time?

When this was mentioned, the emperor's expression visibly darkened. A hint of indignation appeared on his face, and he said unhappily, "The president... is a big fool. She lied to me."

"Hmm?" Kitano was curious, and the Emperor continued, "The president lied to me... saying that Aldan-senpai joined the team in order to kidnap you, the trainer, and take you to the Mejiro household. He also said that Aldan-san approached the trainer-san because of a family mission."

"But, I spoke with Senior Aldan yesterday, and what the president said was completely different - I won't be fooled. I know what Senior Aldan said is sincere, and even if it's the president's words, I won't believe them completely."

"Trainer-san, tell me, shouldn't I be angry that the president lied to me?"

Angry? I see you're so aggrieved that you're crying. Kitano nodded when he heard this. No wonder he felt that the emperor was a little emotional some time ago. He thought she was simply possessive. He didn't expect that it was Rudolph who said this.

However, seeing the now angry Emperor of the East Sea, Kitano's first reaction was not to agree with her. Instead, he smiled and said, "Is that so... I think Rudolf didn't lie completely, Emperor."

"Ugh?"

Facing the emperor's puzzled look, Kitano chuckled and said, "I've been to the Mejiro family before, have you forgotten? I went through the whole process. Aldan was the assistant that the Mejiro family leader pushed for me. I knew then that this time Aldan must have obtained the permission of the Mejiro family leader to recruit me into the family."
