The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

I can only say that Kitano's shares in the izakaya were gone after it reopened, which is really a pity. Otherwise, why would he still be a trainer? He could have made money without doing anything.

"Trainer-san, what's up with these new guys? Are you recruiting new horse girls? Aren't we enough?"

The Emperor of the East China Sea obviously didn't think so much. What she was most concerned about were these new horse girls. They were brought here by the Holy King's halo just to train with them, which made the Emperor of the East China Sea and several others very puzzled.

Of course, after seeing these children whom he didn't know, Aldan Mejiro seemed to understand something. He looked at Kitano silently with a subtle look that was both helpless and gentle.

"Ahem." Kitano coughed dryly for a moment, then said to the puzzled team members, "Everyone, please be patient. Let me introduce you to the horse girls I coached before the trials. To make it easier for you to get to know them, we'll just call them Xiaoyao, Xiaohui, Xiaolu, and Xiaoyi."

"Wow! Trainer Kitano, you still remember our names!"

When Kitano affectionately called out the names of these horse girls, the other horse girls on the street cheered in surprise. Sunny Flare even said to Kitano and the others with a look of relief, "Right? I told you not to worry! Trainer Kitano is different from the other trainers. He can definitely remember the names of even the little guys like us!"

Actually, I really forgot about it. I'm sorry. I'm just a guy who wants to maintain my own persona. I'm really sorry.

At this moment, facing the admiration of these youthful and innocent horse girls, Kitano felt a sense of guilt for no reason. Of course, his heart was not that noble. He was just an ordinary person and did not have the ability or ideal to save all the mediocre horse girls.

Even at the beginning, teaching these horse girls was just a sudden idea of ​​his. Although it was not him who initiated it, but several horse girls took the initiative to ask him for help... But Kitano did not expect that the situation would escalate to the current state.

"Ahem." Kitano coughed dryly again, brushing off the embarrassing incident. He continued, "They asked me to mentor them this time, and I agreed. I think this is a great opportunity for them and our team."

"Then now—Emperor, this job is up to you."

"Huh?" However, the Emperor of the East China Sea, who was holding Kitano's wrist, did not expect that this matter would suddenly befall her. She only looked up at Kitano blankly and asked subconsciously: "Huh? Let me teach? But I..."

"I don't need you to teach me, I just need you to run with me." Kitano also explained: "You, like them, have recently encountered a bottleneck. Your running method needs to be corrected and consolidated. This is a good opportunity."

"When you compete with them, you're not allowed to use the emperor dance steps. This way, they can make breakthroughs from actual combat, and your running style can also be consolidated."

"That's a really good idea—"

Aldan, standing by, immediately understood Kitano's intention. With a gentle smile on his face, he explained to the remaining team members who hadn't yet reacted, "This kills two birds with one stone. These kids who normally don't have the chance to compete with talented horse girls like Emperor can now improve, and Emperor's foundation can also be strengthened."

"And this way, Emperor-san's training time can also be utilized. Trainer Kitano, you can have more energy to pay attention to everyone's training situation-"

However, as soon as Aldan said this, the others immediately reacted, and they all showed some joy in their eyes, and looked at Kitano and the Emperor of the East China Sea in unison.

Yes, if the Emperor were to accompany these horse girls in training, then she wouldn't have time to pester Kitano every day. In this way, wouldn't it be a disguised solution to the problem that they have been getting no attention because the Emperor has been pestering Kitano, which makes them feel upset?

As a result, when Aldan said this, everyone reacted immediately, with Bourbon Miura at the head, saying, "This is a perfect plan. I agree."

"Mi, Mi Yu also agrees..." Mi Yu followed closely and answered with a bit of joy and slight timidity.

"Hehe, in this case, classmate Diwang will be very busy." Shanxin did not express any opinion, but she also approved of this solution in her heart.

Faced with this situation where everyone had turned against him, the Emperor of the East Sea was completely bewildered, and in his heart he couldn't help but shout, "Why is this happening?!"

The Emperor of the East Sea had never imagined that he would face such a situation of being deserted by his friends and family. Clearly, he had no idea how much resentment everyone had secretly felt over the past week or so, as he had monopolized Bei Ye almost all the time.

Over the past week or so, Kitano's near-consistency with the East Sea Emperor's requests has steadily increased his standing in the Emperor's heart. With the fall of Luduo, the "benchmark" he symbolically represented, Kitano has become the East Sea Emperor's most trusted figure.

The Emperor of the East China Sea expressed his affection and trust by wanting to be with her almost all the time. This treatment was rare even for Lu Duo, because Lu Duo was the student council president after all, and the Emperor was always available to be with her.

But Kitano is different. He hangs around the emperor almost every day and can be found at any time. And as long as you look for him, he will not refuse, just like the previous president.

But now, those days seem to be over. The East Sea Emperor stared at the horse girls approaching him, their faces filled with admiration and envy. One of them, a horse girl named White Brilliance, excitedly grabbed the East Sea Emperor's hand and said, "East Sea Emperor, classmate! Hello! I competed with you in the finals of the trials! You may not remember me, but I admire you and Trainer Kitano very much!"

"We'll be competing with you again soon, and we'll definitely try our best! Don't worry, Mr. Emperor, we'll definitely try our best to keep up with you!"

"Oh……"

The emperor looked at the four people in front of him, wanting to refuse but unable to say the words. Helplessly, it seemed that he had no choice but to accept the current situation of training with them.

Then let's finish it a little faster. Even without using the emperor's dance moves, she will definitely not lose!

Only after Kitano watched the Emperor and several horse girls walk away did he turn his gaze to the other four members and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, everyone. I've been very busy lately and haven't had time to pay attention to your progress. It seems that everyone is upset."

"Don't say that, Trainer Kitano. Everyone knows you're very busy." Ardan smiled and shook his head. Shanxin didn't disagree with his sister at this time and nodded. "Yes, Trainer-kun, everyone knows that although it's a bit lonely, your rest is the most important thing."

"Brother, don't force yourself." Mi Yu nodded in agreement.

"Master, please rest well. There's no need to worry about your training progress." Miura Bourbon said the same thing, but then, as if that wasn't enough, he said calmly, "If you feel tired, please feel free to use Miura Bourbon's thigh as a pillow."

"Then let's not do that for now. Okay, before the Emperor bothers me, let's all show off our recent training results and run a race together." Kitano also rejected Bourbon's rather tempting proposal. For him, the most important thing was to sort out all the work that had been put aside during this period at once.

More than a week has passed, and Kitano needs to make a statistics on how these horse girls are growing under his hands... If he has time, he will also help sort out the affairs of the four little horse girls, which will be considered as his utmost kindness.

"Yes!"

Kitano's words immediately received everyone's response, but everyone noticed the remaining tiredness in Kitano's eyes at this moment. They all wanted to help Kitano relieve some of the burden, but they didn't know what they could do.

At this moment, Mi Yu and Bourbon, the two horse racing girls who have become a little unfamiliar with Kitano recently, also have their own ideas. They really can't help Kitano much at work, but they also want to use their own ways to help Kitano relieve some pressure.

Soon, Mi Yu and Bourbon came up with a good idea. Now they just had to wait until the training was over and then they could help their trainers relax.

"Trainer...something seems off."

The believer, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, noticed something was amiss with Mi Yu and Bourbon. She had been helping her trainer, Jun, avoid being torn into pieces even more fragmented than the Dark Mage, and she felt she should do something...

Chapter 203: Did the believer come to catch the man who was seducing her sister?

The half-day training ended quickly, and for the horse girls who now have trainers, they don’t have to go back to the classroom to attend classes like other horse girls. Because the professional knowledge taught in class is already known to the horse girls with trainers, they only need to go back to class when there are cultural classes.

Therefore, horse girls with trainers have more free time and more time to train effectively, which is why the horse girls at Tresen Academy have such a huge desire for trainers.

And now, this phenomenon has begun to show some signs in Kitano's team. After half a day of training, the team's horse racing girls rested as needed and returned to the dormitory as needed, but Kitano had to go back to the team room to set up the next training arrangements for them.

Today might be Kitano's freest day in more than a week. For the next half day, he only needs to sit in the team room, check the data of several horse girls in his team, and then analyze what kind of training is suitable for them based on the situation.

Of course, Kitano also needs to arrange things for the four little horse girls and give them a helping hand in the end. He should be a good person and give them some better advice.

While Kitano was still thinking about the plan, a knock on the door from the team room caught Kitano's attention and he immediately said, "Come in, the door is not locked."

"Trainer-kun? Do you have a minute?"

Kitano was also surprised to find that the person who pushed the door open was actually Mejiro Zenshin. Zenshin had been very low-key during this period. Even after returning from Mejiro's house, she had not taken the initiative to look for Kitano again. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to visit the team room.

"Hey, Shanxin, why are you here?"

"Hehe, Trainer-kun looks very tired today, so I'll see if I can help him."

The believer explained her purpose without hiding anything. Kitano really liked her frankness, and today's believer seemed a little different from usual.

There is no school rule in Tresen College that requires students to wear school uniforms, but if they don't wear school uniforms, they may be mistaken for outsiders and be questioned by others. Therefore, most students wear school uniforms to identify themselves, but the believer obviously changed his clothes this time.

She wears a black short shirt that reveals her belly, a small leather jacket that covers 80% of her body, hot pants and long open-toe boots. No wonder so many horse racing girls in Tresen Academy are obsessed with her. This charm really attracts both men and women.

"Hehe, my school uniform is dirty and hasn't dried yet. This outfit was chosen for me by the Sun God."

As if he had noticed the admiration in Kitano's eyes, Shanxin, though a little shy, walked into the team room with his usual nonchalant expression. After glancing around, he asked, "Isn't Sister Aldan here?"

"Ardan went to the Student Union to take care of a small matter." Kitano replied calmly, then turned his attention back to the work in front of him. Seeing this, Shanxin also came closer and smiled at Kitano, "You are working hard, Trainer. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Just standing next to me is a big help, Shanxin." Kitano, who was busy with the task at hand, responded purely on the spur of the moment. "My attention is too easily distracted at work. Having someone standing next to me to supervise me can improve my work efficiency. Shanxin, you don't have to do anything. Oh, it would be even better if you could get me a cup of coffee."

"Trainer-kun, you're really considerate."

And Shanxin, who wanted to help Kitano more, came here to be a guardian so that he could protect his trainer from disputes after Miyu and Shanxin came. However, he received Kitano's usual considerate care.

But the believer's expression didn't show much joy. Instead, there was a hint of gloom between his brows. He almost murmured, "Did you say the same thing to Sister Aldan?"

"clatter."

However, as Shanxin's words fell, Kitano's heart skipped a beat, and the sound of pressing the keyboard was a little louder, making a crisp sound.

The noise from the laptop keyboard was not loud, but it was extremely loud in the silent team room, just like the believer's self-proclaimed light murmur.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the team room became weird, Kitano's eyes became strange, and Shanxin was also stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized his slip of the tongue.

Why did you say that just now?

Shanxin was also a little confused. Ever since she came back from the Mejiro family, she realized that the change in the family status that she had once longed for, as well as the change in her grandmother's opinion of her... everything was just a pipe dream. Compared with Sister Aldan... she was still not that important to the family.

She knew very well that Sister Aldan was now by her trainer's side, and all of this was tacitly approved by her grandmother. Perhaps in her grandmother's eyes, her trainer had already been Sister Aldan's designated husband, and there was no problem even using the term "fiancé".

As for when Grandmother "entrusted" herself to Trainer-kun...it was probably just a beautiful lie, an illusion, a... one could even say a foolish comfort.

From the beginning to the end, the moment her trainer Jun showed his talents, he no longer belonged to her.

Perhaps in the future, he would change from being her trainer to being her relative, her brother-in-law... and would be a permanent presence in her life from then on, but they would never have any more relationship.

Isn't this a good outcome? Why am I still saying these words?

What if Aldan heard this? What if Trainer-kun misunderstood her? Would she no longer be qualified to be around Trainer-kun?

For a moment, the believer felt a little panicked. She felt as if there was an invisible mountain on her shoulders, pressing heavily on her.

The pressure of a family made her feel suffocated. There were some words she dared not say, and if she did, she would have to take them back.

However, while Shanxin was still worrying about his words, his words had a different meaning to Kitano.

To be honest, if Kitano didn't know that the relationship between him and Shanxin was very healthy, and that in terms of social interaction, Shanxin should be the one who interacted the least with him after the East China Sea Emperor became familiar with him, he would even think that Shanxin liked him and became jealous because his relationship with Aldan improved.

But this is impossible. Kitano is very confident about this. Since he met Shanxin, he has not done anything to improve her favorability. He just encouraged her at the beginning, gave her a few massages, and finally danced with her once at Mejiro's house. There is nothing else.

Kitano thought he was not a blockhead and had a strong ability to detect Uma Musume who had a crush on him - although he did not have the courage to confess, he knew that in the previous weeks, there were only one or two Uma Musume who had romantic feelings for him.

But those were the interactions with Kitano later. Kitano even knew that he was launching an offensive against the other party, and Aldan was indeed one of them... Kitano himself knew that his feelings for Aldan were different from those for others, and he did have selfish motives in keeping Aldan by his side.

However, this does not mean that he has been touching Aldan or doing anything inappropriate during this period - their relationship is not as good as it was in that round, and Kitano would never do anything that crosses the line.

But just because he didn't do it doesn't mean others won't think so! And now the meaning revealed in Shanxin's words made Kitano feel uneasy.

Could it be that the believer thinks... that he wants to seduce her sister, so she comes to interrogate him this time?

That—that's not good. Kitano felt himself sweating when he thought of this. Although Aldan was sent to him by the head of the Mejiro family, there must be a family mission involved, otherwise the head of the Mejiro family would not have brought the jewel of the Mejiro family to his side.

But... the family mission didn't mean that Master Mejiro wanted Aldan to marry him. Kitano had experienced how much Master Mejiro loved Aldan before. Although they both tacitly agreed to their relationship in that episode, that was definitely the most serious Master Mejiro had ever seen Kitano.

During that round with Aldan, he had the upper hand. He had spent three years with Aldan, and Aldan had finally pulled him back from the brink of life and death. The head of the Mejiro family had no choice but to acquiesce.

And this week... he and Aldan don't have that many stories. If the head of the Mejiro family knew that he wanted to seduce Aldan, who knows whether he would wake up the next day in his own bed or on the bottom of Tokyo Bay!

When he thought of this, Kitano felt cold sweat breaking out on his body. Therefore, facing the question from the believer, Kitano felt that he must not reveal any meaning of that kind at all!

"Absolutely not. I only said this to you, Shanxin. Although Aldan has been my assistant for a while, you and Aldan are different to me."

Kitano calmly analyzed the problem and then calmly responded to Shanxin's words. He turned around and said solemnly, "Shanxin, you were the first person to support me, and I was the first person to support you, Shanxin. We recognize each other. This relationship alone, Shanxin, ours is irreplaceable."

"So, don't worry about Aldan's position in our team. To me, you are unique."

As soon as Kitano finished speaking, he noticed that Shanxin's expression relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he felt relieved.

It seems that I have survived this time and chosen the correct answer!

Chapter 204: The "darkness" that is difficult to contain in Yoshinobu Mejiro's heart

"Trainer-kun... you always say things that I don't know how to respond to."

Shanxin was also slightly stunned, and when Kitano said that her position in his heart was "unique", Shanxin had to admit that her heartbeat quickened a bit.

She knew clearly that she shouldn't have any extra feelings for the man in front of her, and she knew clearly that the man in front of her might have been the family's chosen husband for her sister, but she still couldn't help the throbbing of her heart.

To be honest, Shanxin herself didn't know why she was so attracted to Kitano. She hadn't known him for long, not even a month.

But it was as if it was destined by God. From the day she met Kitano, she originally thought that she was not worthy of such an excellent trainer like him, but he pulled her back from the edge of giving up and let her continue running. She was destined to like him.

If Kitano's meticulous care for her during training, the same care and love he showed to other talented horse racing women, seemed like a dream to Shanxin, then the day he made his mediocre self shine for the first time at the selection competition, Shanxin was certain that she had found her own redemption.

But even so, Shanxin did not regard Kitano as her own private property at the beginning. She never thought of possessing Kitano completely... Perhaps it was the long-term inferiority complex that made her become very close to Kitano's inner heart, and felt that nothing would truly belong to her.

She just wanted to stay by Kitano's side and enjoy the feeling of being by his side.

She did not expect his eyes to be on her all the time. She witnessed time and time again that Kitano was attracted by her more dazzling figure. She tried her best to restrain the jealousy and sense of crisis rising in her heart, because she knew that even if his eyes were temporarily attracted, he would definitely not forget to pay attention to her, the less dazzling firefly.

But even such a small wish...will be taken away, even such a small concern, they will take it away.

At this moment, Shanxin finally couldn't contain his impulse. He stared at Kitano in front of him for a long while before he forced a bright smile and said softly, "But... I don't quite believe it. Trainer, how can you prove that I'm unique?"

"Everyone on the team is better than me, and Trainer-kun, you've been paying more attention to them than to me lately. Maybe you've said this to everyone, too?"

"Uh……"

However, in a sense, Shanxin really revealed Kitano's thoughts. After all, every Uma Musume is unique to him, and if he really wants to praise them at a critical moment, he can praise each of them to the utmost.

After all, he was Good Opera's trainer back then. Good Opera has a unique eye for detail, and no matter how bad a person is, she can always find their unique shining points. Kitano has also learned a little bit from them. When facing the different Uma Musume on the team, he can always say something about each one.

But there was no doubt that Shanxin had seen through his superficial tricks. Kitano, now in a very passive position, waved his hand helplessly and said, "So, Shanxin, how do you think I can prove myself?"

"No need to prove anything, Trainer-kun. Just do a small thing with me."

Shanxin smiled slightly upon hearing this, and then said to Kitano: "Trainer, do you remember the time we danced together at our house?"

"This time, I want to dance the boys' part. Trainer, could you please excuse me and dance the girls' part?"
