I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

Unlike Grasshopper and Special Week, she was cared for more by Kitahara Shinji and put in more effort.

Necha is relatively resistant to, or rather, adaptable to, such things, so she did not perform as badly as the two of them before, and at least she still retained a certain degree of self-awareness.

However, instead of using this self-awareness to fight against that feeling, after being pinched for a while, Necha took the initiative to hold up her tail and hand it to Kitahara Shinji.

"Yes, let's try the tail too. I usually take good care of it..."

Having gone to such lengths, Kitahara Shinji did not refuse Nekatsu's request.

After she finished speaking, he took the tail that she handed him with one hand and started rubbing it.

Then, after this continued for a while, Nesta mustered up his courage and spoke in a low voice.

"Hey, how does it feel? It's not worse than theirs, right...?"

So why do you have this strange competitive spirit in a place like this...?

Shinji Kitahara silently cursed in his heart, then patted her head with the hand that had been rubbing her ear, and slowly spoke.

"What's the point of comparing these things?"

Necha was silent for a moment: "Am I less appealing to you than the other two?"

thump.

As soon as she finished speaking, a hand hit her on the head.

It wasn't particularly forceful, but it wasn't light either.

Then, Shinji Kitahara started rubbing her ears again, speaking as he did so.

"What are you thinking? I just meant that feelings are very subjective. It's like some people like their rice soft and sticky, while others prefer it firmer. There's no fixed standard for judging these things, let alone ranking them..."

“They are who they are, and you are who you are. If we use other people as the standard, then they are definitely number one, but you are you. So here, you are number one, understand?”

After saying that, Shinji Kitahara lowered his head, looked at Natcha in his arms, and tugged at her ear.

"...Tch, all you do is talk, say nice things."

Although he said that, after hearing that he had made a move, or at least a move in some sense, the corners of his mouth still curled up slightly.

After seeing that she wasn't angry anymore, Shinji Kitahara rubbed her for a while longer before letting her go and continuing to tidy up the room.

Then, once again, before he could even speak, Necha, realizing something, moved on its own and put its ears and tail back into his hand.

"Necha, what's wrong with you...?"

Necha remained silent for a moment.

Although she had wondered why Special Week and Grasshopper had turned out the way they did when she first opened the door and saw the scene on Kitahara Shinji's side.

He even subconsciously thought that the two of them had joined forces to deal with him.

But after experiencing it firsthand, she realized that it wasn't that the two of them wanted to become that way, nor that they had joined forces or anything; rather, it was that they could only become that way.

It's different from the intense sensory stimulation, like an electric shock, that you experience during nursing care.

The sensation coming from the ears and tail is like the softness of cotton candy. At first, it didn't feel like much, just quite comfortable.

But as time goes on, the soft touch gradually seeps into the body, connecting every nerve, and a certain indescribable feeling begins to spread throughout the body.

Like a frog being slowly boiled in water, once the water temperature reaches a certain point, she can no longer resist or struggle; she can't even accept the removal of those hands.

The brief pause and separation made her instinctively feel uneasy, and she subconsciously clung to him.

Unlike the other two, who, despite contributing more effort, only received care from one hand.

Meanwhile, in Necha, one person was being cared for by both hands simultaneously, including both ears and tail.

After a moment of silence, despite knowing it was wrong and her face turning bright red, Netcha opened her mouth and made a sound that was almost pleading.

"Please continue like this, Mr. Kitahara..."

Shinji Kitahara was stunned for a moment.

"Then, if we're going to tidy up the room..."

"Just keep doing this, leave the rest to me..."

Huh? Is this okay?

Shinji Kitahara was somewhat puzzled, and he felt that something was off.

However, due to Nachi's insistence, Shinji Kitahara tried to persuade her several times, but to no avail, and finally had no choice but to give in to her wishes.

Then, remaining in this state, Necha began tidying up the room.

Shinji Kitahara stood behind her, and as she tidied the room, he rubbed her ear with one hand and rubbed her tail with the other, his expression gradually becoming subtle.

Why does it feel even stranger?

However, while feeling a bit uneasy, looking at Nechika in front of him and considering the reactions of Special Week and Kusakabe Hibiki, Kitahara Shinji had a question.

Is this kind of thing really that comfortable?

Although the horse's ears and tail are well-known places that should not be touched.

However, according to Shinji Kitahara, these two places should not be touched carelessly, not because touching them will make the horse girl feel more comfortable, but rather the opposite.

The concept of sensitivity sounds a bit discordant, and in some works, there's even a setting where sensitivity is three thousand times greater, which sounds extremely discordant.

But in reality, sensitivity is, in a sense, synonymous with vulnerability; let alone being three thousand times more sensitive.

If it's three times, then the feelings that you would normally enjoy will only turn into corresponding pain after exceeding a certain value range, instead of making you feel three thousand times more comfortable.

As for the horse girl's tail and ears, aside from certain moral factors...

The main reason is that these two areas are relatively fragile, so touching them might be too stimulating for the female horse, which could trigger a stress response and potentially kill her.

but now......

Feeling the touch on his hand and seeing that Nachi seemed to be enjoying it, Shinji Kitahara thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to ask the person involved directly about such matters.

So he lowered his head and spoke with a hint of doubt.

“Necha, I have a question.”

"......What's wrong?"

"Is this kind of thing comfortable?"

Upon hearing this question, Necha's body stiffened slightly, and the blush on her face, which had faded due to the distraction of doing housework, returned. The shame in her heart exploded instantly, and she even stopped moving.

How is she supposed to answer a question like that...?

Seeing her reaction, Kitahara Shinji assumed that she had only let him pinch her hand to compete with the other two and didn't actually like the feeling, so he subconsciously let go.

But the moment he let go, an anxious voice rang out.

"Comfortable......"

"what?"

Because Nessa's voice was too soft, Shinji Kitahara couldn't hear what she was saying.

"I said...it feels good, very good..."

With his back to Shinji Kitahara, Nachi's voice began to tremble.

"Please...continue, please, Mr. Kitahara, it feels so good, so very good...please continue..."

Hmm, so this kind of thing is actually quite comfortable?

Because he was stuck in a single-threaded mode again, Shinji Kitahara failed to notice the unusual nature of Nachi's words.

After hearing her say that it was indeed comfortable, I put my hand on it again.

After being released, Shinji Kitahara began to think more deeply, trying to analyze the current situation by combining his previous knowledge and experience.

As he pondered, due to the passage of time and the single-threaded operation mode, Shinji Kitahara subconsciously increased the effort he put into his hands.

Then, this increased his output.

Netcha's movements began to slow down little by little, and eventually came to a stop over time.

Is the information circulating online incorrect, or is our situation somewhat unique...?

Just as Kitahara Shinji was thinking this, a faint sob brought him back to reality.

Hmm? Is someone crying?

Shinji Kitahara paused for a moment, then realized that the sobbing sound seemed to be coming from Naichi in front of him.

Then, before he could ask a question, Necha turned around, her face as red as a ripe apple, looking at him with teary eyes, and spoke in a very aggrieved tone.

"Mr. Kitahara, is it so fun to bully me?"

Kitahara Shinji: "...?"

What did I do this time?

Chapter 169: A Strange Things Happened

To be honest, there are times when Shinji Kitahara really can't understand what his little pony girls are thinking.

She was the one who let him touch her in the first place, and she wouldn't even let him let go when he tried to.

Moreover, he repeatedly asked for her opinion during the process, asking her if she was really comfortable.

Now, even though he did everything according to her instructions, he was asked questions like, "Do you think it's fun to bully her?" which he found incomprehensible.

What he found even more incomprehensible was that right after Necha said that, he thought that if he was really uncomfortable, he should just let go.

But the moment he let go, Necha once again took the initiative to come closer, and her eyes looked even more aggrieved.

So, do you want me to continue or not...?

Shinji Kitahara couldn't help but think to himself, but looking at Necha's pitiful expression, he couldn't bear to make things difficult for her any longer.

I simply went along with whatever she said and coaxed her into tidying up the room.

After tidying her up, I held her in my arms and rubbed her for a while, just as she asked, until she was satisfied.

"What kind of mess is this...?"

After comforting Necha, Shinji Kitahara glanced back at Necha, who was huddled up with her head down, and couldn't help but make a comment before throwing himself back into his work.

Then, time began to pass again.

......

Two days later, at the competition venue.

Today is the day of Ms. Kusa and Special Week's debut. As usual, Shinji Kitahara got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and then accompanied Ms. Kusa and Special Week to the debut competition venue.

Unlike the races Shinji Kitahara had experienced before, the debut race was not strictly speaking a formal race, but rather a running test similar to a driver's license test.

If you've gone through the debut competition and your results aren't too bad, then you've earned the right to enter the competition and can officially debut starting next year.

Because of its nature, and the large number of participating horse girls, the debut competition was simply held in the arena within Tressen, without even requiring participants to leave the school.

Given the scale of the competition, the quality of the female riders in the debut rounds is even more impressive.

It's important to understand that even in the basic tournaments, if it were held in a local area like Trezon, you would have to run a best-of-three series to participate before you could qualify for regular professional tournaments, which are at least OP level.

But the debut competition is something any horse girl starting out can participate in, and most of them don't even have a trainer.

Although the new regulations have been introduced, the trainers in Treson have been searching frantically for trainers and team members, and Koyaichi has also taken over Tamamo Cross and Super Cove.

But the problem is, as mentioned before, that comes with the influx of transfer students.

The current ratio of Teresen Equestrian Girls to trainers has reached an outrageous 30:1 (including those who haven't debuted and those whose debuts have ended), a situation never seen before in the entire history of Teresen.

Even with the new regulations in place, given this absurd ratio, it can only barely alleviate the shortage of trainers.

Moreover, generally speaking, female horses can only find trainers after their debut race.

After all, other trainers don't have Shinji Kitahara's extraordinary eyesight, nor do they have that kind of knowledge from another world. They can't confirm a horse girl's talent just by her name and observation.

Therefore, it's not just Usagi Girl who uses the debut competition to find trainers; trainers who want to recruit trainees also camp out at the debut competition venue, trying to discover some promising talents.

However, this has nothing to do with Shinji Kitahara.

After all, his team already has enough members, even exceeding the limit.

He came here purely to watch the match between Grasshopper and Special Week. Even if Mama Girl specifically requested him, he wouldn't agree.
