I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

Especially when they were in a chase, Shinji Kitahara would have already rescued them and dealt with many of their accomplices, which is why they tried to drive away.

So those people who used to race with Shinji Kitahara basically only dared to accelerate and not slow down. After all, although flooring the gas pedal meant a slim chance of survival, being caught by Shinji Kitahara meant certain death.

Besides being fast, those people were also willing to drive anywhere in order to survive.

Not to mention racing on highways, they can speed on mountain roads, trails, and even along cliff edges without hesitation.

In order to catch up with that group, Shinji Kitahara naturally couldn't show weakness.

At first, he drove rather conservatively and would drive obediently on the road, slowing down when encountering curves or complex terrain, or simply setting off the eclipse to chase it.

But later, as time went by and the number of times he raced cars increased, Shinji Kitahara's mindset underwent a subtle change.

So, why do you always think about slowing down in that kind of situation?

Why can't we use maneuvers to get past it without slowing down?

This is almost impossible for ordinary people to accomplish, and if they make a mistake, even if they don't die, they will at least be crippled or something.

But Shinji Kitahara is different.

Although I don't know why, in terms of reaction speed, not to mention humans, even top racehorse girls are far behind him.

What appears to be incredibly fast speeds to ordinary people is equivalent to normal speeds to him. Even the speeds of race car drivers seem only slightly faster to him.

Moreover, he also has a bunch of things in his system for restoring status.

Even if something goes wrong, it can be dealt with by administering medication as an emergency, and then resources can be used to quickly restore the patient's condition.

After that, because of these conditions, Shinji Kitahara's driving style became even more outrageous.

Speeding on the highway is considered conservative; when he gets really anxious, he usually follows the principle that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and then he floores the accelerator.

This time, however, there were two other passengers on the bus, and the situation wasn't that urgent.

So Shinji Kitahara didn't use a risky mode of travel; he simply drove through the wilderness at a speed of around 100 miles per hour, occasionally speeding up when the road conditions were slightly better.

Although it's called off-road, since Tsuna's car is just a sedan, it can't handle those extreme terrains.

So Shinji Kitahara drove to a high place with a relatively open view beforehand, planned a relatively flat route using the navigation map, and then stepped on the gas and drove down.

However flat the road is, because it's not a main road, there's plenty of stuff along the way. Traversing mountains and forests is commonplace, and you'll occasionally have to leap over obstacles.

Add to that Kitahara Shinji's almost undiminished speed, and Surugawa Tesuna looked at the trees, boulders, and even valleys rushing past.

In the short half-hour drive, Junkawa Tessuna felt like he brushed with death at least a dozen times.

Twenty minutes later, they caught up with the truck, based on information provided by the chairman.

However, since it was the first time Tsuna had ridden in Kitahara Shinji's car, he was quite exhausted along the way, so he couldn't contribute much in the end. It was basically Eclipse that did it all by himself.

As for how the Eclipse was completed solo...

After arriving at the approximate area given by the chairman, Shinji Kitahara found the truck in a few minutes.

Even though the truck driver probably knew he had been exposed.

However, because they received the news more than ten minutes in advance, and were also very familiar with the character of the JP police, they were not in a hurry to drive.

I was just thinking of driving a little further away, finding a safe place to get out of the car and run away, so I wasn't on guard at all.

So Shinji Kitahara slowed down and pulled over, then Eclipse opened the car door, jumped onto the hood, and ripped the truck door off.

Then, with one hand gripping the car and the other holding the car door that had just been torn off, he calmly said...

"parking."

So those people obediently did as they were told.

After that, it's just a very standard procedure.

Their identities were confirmed, they were restrained, and finally handed over to the arriving police force.

After completing all this, Junkawa Tessuna's expression improved slightly. Then, looking at the calm Eclipse, he spoke with lingering fear.

"Miss Eclipse, how do you manage to be so calm? Is it a habit?"

"No."

The solar eclipse shook its head.

"But this time he actually drove quite well."

......good?

Upon hearing Eclipse's assessment, Tsuna's expression stiffened for a moment. Recalling the events of the past half hour, he couldn't help but ask.

"So, trainer Kitahara has driven even more... um, terrifying ones before?"

The Eclipse did not answer her question directly, but after a moment of silence, gave her four keywords.

"Mountain road, cliff, accelerator floored, brakes failed."

That one time, not only during the solar eclipse, but also because the speed symbol almost thought that his old bones were going to perish there, and he never rode in Kitahara Shinji's car again after that.

Although Tsuna didn't know what had happened, she could feel the despair just by hearing those four keywords.

But after thinking about this, Suguru Tsuna suddenly had another question.

"If Trainer Kitahara drives like this all the time, isn't he worried about his driver's license being revoked?"

This time, Eclipse did not answer Surugawa Tezuna's question, but simply looked at her quietly.

Soon, Tsuna also realized a problem.

She vaguely remembered that Shinji Kitahara had only recently come of age, and had joined Treson shortly after, which meant...

As he considered a certain possibility, Tsuna's voice began to tremble.

"Trainer Kitahara, you don't actually have a driver's license, do you?"

As the eclipse gently nodded, Tsuna felt his heart skip a beat.

No matter how much Tsuna regrets it now, it's too late for regrets now.

Furthermore, when Junkawa Tsuna took his car for inspection afterward, he discovered that the biggest problem with the car was that the paint had been scratched off quite a bit during the off-roading trip, and there were no other problems.

This is enough to prove Shinji Kitahara's superb driving skills, and it also proves that the situation was indeed a close call.

Even so, Tsuna Suguru never wanted to experience that kind of torment again, and for a long time afterward, he didn't touch a car again.

Even more remarkably, because of this experience, when she later rode in the car of a certain old driver again, she was surprisingly calm and composed.

Because no matter how fast that female driver was going, at least she was still driving honestly on the road.

As for that person, he really dares to cross the road directly and then run recklessly through the woods and valleys.

Surugawa Tessuna's unusual behavior naturally attracted the attention of the old driver, who then asked her curiously why she was so calm today.

Because she was a good friend and a member of Treson's group, and because she genuinely wanted someone to confide in, Tsuna didn't hide anything and told the old driver what had happened.

Shinji Kitahara...

After listening to what Surugawa Tessuna said, the older female driver thought about how she had heard the name Rudolf Symbol quite a few times a few days ago, and a hint of interest appeared in her eyes.

He seems like a very interesting person.

If I have time, maybe I could try to get in touch with them...

However, afterward, Tsuna's situation returned to normal, and he even had some rare time to go for a drive and chat with his old friend.

On the other hand, Kitahara Shinji, who had just finished hunting horse girls and thought he could finally relax, was also busy with the horse hunting.

Looking at the little pony girls surrounding him, he suddenly realized that all the busyness he had been going through might actually be considered relaxing...

Chapter 137: Am I disliked?

After finishing the horse hunting, Shinji Kitahara returned to the academy.

Originally, according to his plan, those horse hunters could be handled by Treson, and the buyers behind them could be investigated by Kazuya Kudo, so he wouldn't have to do anything, and he could just laze around during the rest of his vacation.

But the truth is that although the above problems developed as he expected, they did not cause him any other trouble.

But in other aspects that he hadn't anticipated, some rather delicate situations arose...

Oguri Hat was the first to take action.

Because of Kitahara Shinji's long absence and the thrill of Naichi's sneaking away, Oguri Hattori's strange hunger had accumulated to an unprecedented level during this period.

Driven by this strange hunger, after the horse hunting incident ended.

Taking advantage of a time when everyone except for the solar eclipse was busy and not around Shinji Kitahara, she took a large amount of food and went to Shinji Kitahara's dormitory alone.

Upon seeing that it was Oguri Hat, Kitahara Shinji opened the door for her without any worries.

If it were Alice or Super Small Bay coming over under these circumstances, he might have to think twice before opening the door.

But the problem is, she's wearing a small chestnut hat.

Obedient, well-behaved, sensible...

Needless to say, heavyweights like Alice, Super Little Bay, and East Sea Emperor are also included. In particular, Zhou sometimes begs him to rub his hands.

As for Necha, although she did cooperate with him very well and took good care of him, on the one hand, this care was sometimes too much.

On one hand, Shinji Kitahara always felt that it was inappropriate for Ma Musume to take care of his life, so he often needed to find ways to give her something in return to make up for his inner unease.

As for Oguri Hat, she might not be the one who helped him the most in his team, but she was definitely the one who made things the easiest for him.

Because this child is very easy to understand. Whether it's training or daily life, he will basically do whatever he is told.

They neither express resistance nor ask for reasons, and usually they will tell him directly about anything.

Her ease and understanding almost made Shinji Kitahara exclaim, "What a 'hat gate'!" and he couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if he had horse girls like her under his command.

Oh, of course, let's forget about the amount of food. Otherwise, if a dozen or so little chestnut hats were eaten together, not only would he be affected, but Treson might also be put into financial crisis.

After letting Oguri Hat in, she quickly explained her purpose: she had come to play with Kitahara Shinji.

Shinji Kitahara wasn't surprised. After all, while Oguri was easy to take care of, he could still tell from some occasional subtle actions that she was quite fond of him.

During this period, because he was slacking off and busy with horse hunting, he basically didn't go to the training grounds, nor did he have many meals with Oguri Hat.

In addition, because of her sensible nature, she never bothered him, whether before or after he arrived.

Now that she's come all this way, he certainly wouldn't turn her away.

Furthermore, after entering, Shinji Kitahara noticed that Oguri Hat's body seemed to be slightly thinner than before the holiday.

This made him even more worried, and he asked if Little Chestnut Hat had encountered anything recently, or if he hadn't been eating well.

"...No, it's just that I haven't had much of an appetite lately."

Little Chestnut Hat answered calmly, her eyes still clear.

After a quick check of Oguri Hat's body to confirm that she was really alright, Kitahara Shinji started playing with her.

There's not much to say about the game itself; we just played some board games like Monopoly and Ludo while sharing the bag of snacks that Oguri Hat had brought.

Halfway through the game, Oguri Hat had almost finished all the snacks on his side, and then his attention turned to the remaining snacks on Kitahara Shinji's side.

Seeing her like this, Shinji Kitahara naturally handed her the snacks without hesitation.

But Oguri refused, saying that it was Kitahara Shinji's snack and she couldn't have it.

It was clearly you who brought it...

Shinji Kitahara muttered to himself, but at the same time, he was also somewhat impressed, thinking that Oguri Hat was becoming more and more sensible, knowing how to share food with others.

Although she refused Shinji Kitahara's suggestion of food, Oguri's people still couldn't help but go and look at it after she refused.

Even when playing games, she couldn't concentrate, and tears started to appear faintly at the corners of her mouth.

These unusual behaviors of hers, of course, did not escape the notice of Kitahara Shinji.

Because she didn't want to share the snacks with him, Shinji Kitahara couldn't think of a solution to the problem for the time being.

Then, after a while, looking at the chestnut hat that was practically drooling from her mouth, and her slightly thin figure.

He sighed helplessly, then took out a snack and held it to Little Chestnut Hat's mouth.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah~"

This time, although Oguri Hat hesitated for a moment, he soon obediently ate the snack that was handed to him.

After eating the food, she turned her gaze to him again, a hint of expectation in her eyes. Her slightly downcast mood when she arrived had noticeably improved.
