I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

"Just like you said before, firsthand experience is more efficient than other methods."

"And coincidentally, I just discovered that this thing seems to be applicable to nursing care, and can simultaneously correct the body on both a material and another level."

"I've only just discovered this myself, and I don't have much experience yet. We need a test subject... What do you think, Soko?"

Gulu.

Looking at those hands that were emitting a faint glow, Alice swallowed hard.

"Can I say no?"

Shinji Kitahara looked at her and said calmly.

"I gave you a chance."

As he finished speaking, a wail echoed through the laboratory as his glowing hands fell.

Then silence quickly returned.

.......

Time began to flow again.

After a busy November, Shinji Kitahara's life returned to normal.

Of course, it's only on the surface that things have returned to normal.

Although to others it seemed that after a busy November, Shinji Kitahara had returned to his leisurely life of clocking in at work and slacking off after get off work.

But in reality, behind closed doors, Shinji Kitahara had been secretly researching the power within him, trying to control it, and developing many new uses for it.

As for Galerizho, they were concerned that this energy might be effective against humans.

With the intention of not wanting to add more victims, Shinji Kitahara temporarily shelved his plan to seek help from Alice after his trip to Alice's laboratory, intending to wait until he had more control over this power.

Furthermore, although they did not go to Galerizo, after a period of research, Alice also made considerable progress, at least in figuring out the role of Kitahara Shinji's energy manifestation.

Emotional catalysis.

Contrary to Shinji Kitahara's expectations of the horse-like abilities, the energy surging from his body did not actually have any attraction to horse girls.

It can only stimulate the genuine emotions they already possess through certain methods, but it does not have the ability to directly change other people's thinking.

Even so, for Shinji Kitahara, there is no difference between the two situations, and the latter may even be worse.

As for whether that energy will cause any harm...

After observing for several days, until Oguri Hat completely absorbed all the energy in her body, Kitahara Shinji and Alice were still unable to detect any damage that the thing had caused her.

Not only were they harmless, but after further examination, Shinji Kitahara and Alice also discovered that after Oguri Hat fully absorbed those energies, her abilities in various aspects were enhanced.

His strength increased, his speed improved, and his explosive power and endurance both saw significant growth...

His reaction speed, physical coordination, and even intelligence have all improved significantly...

While the rest of the team, unaware of the situation, attributed it to the improvement brought about by Oguri's transformation into a more authentic character, the two who knew the truth were baffled as to how this situation had actually arisen...

All I can say is that everyone who understands understands.

However, if we have to be honest, this thing isn't entirely harmless.

Or to put it more precisely, while this thing isn't addictive, it's like a delicious dish.

After eating it once, I would definitely like to eat it again if possible, or even better, eat it every day.

In particular, Oguri Hattori, who was fond of food and Kitahara Shinji, secretly approached Kitahara Shinji again a week after the accident and asked to eat with him again.

Shinji Kitahara initially wanted to refuse Oguri Hat's request.

But seeing her pitiful expression and hearing her almost wailing plea, Shinji Kitahara finally couldn't resist her charm and agreed to her request.

Then, after 'feeding' her, Oguri Hat even pulled down her skirt.

After confirming that the beautiful patterns had become clear again after 'eating', even her mood improved a lot.

As for Alice, she was unaware of Oguri Hat's latest 'cheating'.

But after discovering the enhancing effect of Kitahara Shinji's energy on the horse girl, she rolled her eyes and started to coax Kitahara Shinji, saying that she should get some for herself too.

As usual, Shinji Kitahara wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Alice said so.

Recently, in order to help him with his research, I have postponed many of my own planned research projects, and my training has also been affected to some extent.

On one hand, it was for compensation, and on the other hand, it was for research purposes. In short, she wanted Shinji Kitahara to give her a couple of doses of that kind of energy.

Seeing that she had come up with such a reason, Shinji Kitahara had no choice but to agree in the end.

However, although they said they would only eat a couple of bites to taste it.

But after actually starting to 'eat', Alice kept eating until large patterns appeared on her lower abdomen, and only stopped when she really couldn't eat anymore.

This isn't to say that Alice is as gluttonous as Oguri Hat, or that Kitahara Shinji's energy has any attraction for her.

Just as she said before, the essence of Shinji Kitahara's power is to evoke emotions, rather than to create something out of nothing.

So, Oguri Hat's reaction was appetite, while hers was immediately driven to lust. Although she did find the taste of Kitahara Shinji's food appealing, it wasn't enough to make her lose her mind.

Why did she do that?

The answer is for the 'pattern'.

Yes, even improving her abilities was secondary; her primary goal was to get the 'pattern' on her lower abdomen.

As for what use this thing is...

It's actually not very useful.

After all, given how dense and incompetent Shinji Kitahara is.

Forget about the tattoos on his lower abdomen; even if you covered his entire body with tattoos and then washed him clean and threw him into his bed, he would still bring you out for a lecture. Don't even think about breaking down his defenses this way.

Even if this thing has no practical use, even if it's just sitting there, it's still a kind of proof.

Originally, the two's 'cheating' behavior was already giving Kitahara Shinji a growing headache.

But just as he was having a headache, something else happened on Tsuna's side.

However, this does not mean that she has any health problems.

On the contrary, thanks to Shinji Kitahara's meticulous care, her physical condition has now greatly improved after two weeks of pretending to be her boyfriend.

The problem is that, according to the original plan, their charade as a couple should have ended after these two weeks.

But now, several days into December, Surugawa Tsuna hasn't mentioned this matter at all.

When Kitahara Shinji finally couldn't hold back any longer and went over to her to bring it up, he saw a slightly embarrassed look on Surugawa Tesuna's face.

"I'm sorry, Trainer Kitahara, we may have to wait a while longer regarding this matter..."

"why?"

Junkawa Tessuna coughed twice and explained.

"That's right. Although I was the one who suggested the plan to pretend to be a couple in the beginning, I didn't expect it to cause such a big fuss."

"Right now, almost everyone in the academy thinks we're a couple. If we break up abruptly under these circumstances, it might arouse suspicion among the students, and they might discover the truth..."

“I’m not worried about my reputation, but the problem is, I’m worried that if those children find out I lied to them, they might never trust me again, and they might even start to doubt the chairman…”

"I know this was all my fault, but for Treson's sake, I'd like to ask Trainer Kitahara to pretend with me for a little longer... is that alright?"

Since Tsuna had already put it that way, Shinji Kitahara had no choice but to agree.

After agreeing to Tsuna's request, Shinji Kitahara returned to his dormitory with a helpless expression. After lying on his bed, he was about to knead some black rice balls to relieve his pent-up frustration.

But before he could even get comfortable, his phone started vibrating.

Upon opening it, he found a message from someone who surprised him.

[President: If you have time, come to our usual spot.]

[President: I have something important I'd like to discuss with you]

Chapter 192: She Likes You

after a while.

At their usual spot, the small izakaya where the four members of the marriage-urging group (including Koya and Tsuna) often gather to complain in private.

Shinji Kitahara found Rudolf Symbol, who was disguised and sitting alone at a table, and then walked over to him.

"coming?"

After he sat down, Rudolf glanced up at him, gave him a brief greeting and ordered the food, and then explained why he had been invited.

"I've come to talk to you about three things today."

Shinji Kitahara nodded: "Specifically?"

"specific......"

Rudolf tapped the table with his index finger as a symbol, then spoke.

You should recognize the symbol "Sirius," right?

Sirius Symbol, as her name suggests, is the horse girl of the Symbol family, and also the horse girl of the Symbol family itself. She also has a certain blood relationship with Rudolf Symbol, and there are even rumors that she and Rudolf Symbol are childhood sweethearts.

Moreover, like the Rudolf symbol, the Sirius symbol is also a member of the Treson Student Council, although not registered, he often hangs out there.

His personality leans towards being a tomboy, and his hair color is basically the same as Rudolph's symbol, but his hair length is slightly shorter than Rudolph's symbol, making him look more dashing overall.

She consistently ranks high in the polls among students asking "Which horse girl would you like to be your boyfriend?" and is always second.

As for number one?

The first one is sitting right in front of Shinji Kitahara.

"know."

Shinji Kitahara nodded.

As mentioned before, due to his frequent visits to the student council, Shinji Kitahara became acquainted with Sirius, the representative of Sirius, and Chiaki, the representative of Sirius. Although they weren't particularly close, they were at least familiar with each other.

Upon hearing Shinji Kitahara's reply, Rudolf remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"So, what do you think of my relationship with her?"

"I don't feel well."

Shinji Kitahara answered honestly.

Although both the Sirius symbol and the Rudolf symbol are symbolists, and they are also people from the same symbol family.

They are both highly respected and popular among students, and they often work together in the student council. From any perspective, their relationship should be very good.

But in reality, even Shinji Kitahara, who was an 'outsider' to the student council, could clearly sense the discord between the two of them in private.

Although when they are doing business with the public, especially when there are interviews, these two people usually give each other some face.

But in private, even if they bump into each other on the street or are in the same room, the two rarely talk to each other.

Moreover, their conversations were filled with intense hostility, and they used all sorts of sarcastic remarks. It wouldn't be surprising if the two of them started fighting at any moment.

But now Rudolf suddenly brought her up...

Based on some information he had recently learned, Shinji Kitahara considered a certain possibility.

"You want to improve your relationship with Miss Sirius?"

Rudolph nodded symbolically.

This is not surprising. After all, whether as companions, family members, or simply to maintain their own image, Rudolf Symbol has the motivation to maintain a good relationship with Sirius Symbol, and Shinji Kitahara does not find this strange.

But the strange thing is that he doesn't know why Rudolf Symbol would say these things to him.

He was neither a member of the student council nor related to the Symbolists. Although he was now quite familiar with the Symbolist Rudolf, he was only an acquaintance of the Symbolist Sirius.

Even when offering advice, one should seek out representatives like Chiaki or Narita Shirahito, who have a relatively good relationship with the symbolism of Sirius.

If all else fails, you could even go to the Emperor of the East Sea, since that child has a close relationship with the symbol of Sirius and would definitely know more about him.

Seemingly noticing the confusion on his face, Rudolf symbolically explained before he could ask any questions.

“You know my situation with Sirius Symbol. If I go directly to talk to her about this, the process probably won’t go smoothly, so I need to find someone to act as a ‘middleman’.”

"Originally, I had considered asking Qianming and the Emperor, but recently I heard from other students that Sirius seems to be quite interested in you. I was thinking of taking this opportunity to ask you to help me out..."
