I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

The chatter of her aunts and uncles about blind dates, even though they were pressuring her cousin to get married—something unrelated to her—inexplicably reminded her of her trainer.

Will he also be pressured to get married? Will he also go on blind dates? Why is he so slow to reply to my messages?

We promised to be of one mind and one body, we promised to walk side by side, but now...

Anxiety, unease, doubt...

After leaving the honey pot, when that sweet veil disappears, people are already at the most emotionally sensitive age, and with all sorts of negative emotions acting as catalysts, a qualitative change in their relationship naturally occurs.

As for those that had already undergone a qualitative change, needless to say, those that could allow their trainers to get out of bed and go out the next day were considered to be exercising restraint.

Combining the two situations above, it's not hard to understand why trainers often form groups to discuss self-preservation or even flee at this point.

We really can't afford not to protect ourselves!

Shinji Kitahara knew about the request for funds, but he didn't quite understand why these people wanted to involve him.

After all, it's not that he doesn't talk about his relationship with his female horses. He basically hasn't been separated from his female horses during this annual leave (except for a certain imperial horse), so there's no reason for him to worry about such a thing.

[Kyuukawa Rei: @Kitahara Shinji, Kitahara brother, I heard you've been to many places in Theresienstadt and are quite familiar with many people there. Is that true?]

[Shinji Kitahara: Yes, what is it?]

[Kyuukawa Rei: I'd like to ask, how does the atmosphere in Teresa... um... you mean, how does it compare to here?]

[Shinji Kitahara: It depends on the specific region. The atmosphere in Teresa is different in each place, but overall it is more conservative than here.]

Not every Tressen is called Trep. In fact, according to Shinji Kitahara's observation, the atmosphere of Tressen is quite normal in most places.

It's not that the local Teresa horses are particularly aloof, but rather that many of the trainers in the local Teresa are retired from the main force. They're either already taken or elderly, so naturally, they're not given a chance.

Furthermore, compared to the Treson headquarters, the local Treson horse girls don't have as much power and don't dare to openly defy public order and good morals. Unlike the Treson headquarters, which is home to a bunch of influential young ladies who can not only kidnap their trainers but also develop related industries...

Yes, I'm talking about the Mejiro family.

[Umei Nai: @Kyuukawa Rei, what's wrong? You want Jun to go somewhere?]

[Kyuukawa Rei: I have that thought. Although my girl is very easy to take care of and very well-behaved, judging from your situation, although I was lucky enough to meet her this time and our relationship is normal for now, it's uncertain what will happen next time. So I plan to go somewhere else after I finish taking care of her...]

[Futoki Daichi: "Worry-Free", "Very Well-behaved", "Normal"]

[Mei Ai: @Kyuukawa Rei, why don't you guess why we brought you in?]

[Kyuukawa Rei: ......]

[Kyuukawa Rei: Impossible, absolutely impossible. How old is that child? And he only sees me as an older brother, okay?]

Shinji Kitahara: A Classic

[Nishiguchi Hide: @Kitahara Shinji, I think yours is more classic]

[Kitahara Shinji:? 】

[Mei Ai: @Kyuukawa Rei, if you don't believe me, just tell her you have a girlfriend and see her reaction.]

[Kyuukawa Rei: Fine, say what you want. I'm not like you guys; my relationship with her is perfectly normal.]

[Kyuukawa Rei: If you don't believe me, I'll go find her right now and prove it to you.]

Three minutes later, Jiuchuan Lian's avatar went gray and there was no further response.

[Yosuke Higashimori: ...Isn't this a bit inappropriate?]

[Futo Daichi: Anyway, let's reserve a pelvic care bed for him first.]

After a pleasant farewell to Jiuchuan Lian, the group chat resumed its heated discussion about how to protect oneself in the new semester, with messages flooding the screen and continuing for quite some time.

As for what they achieved after the discussion...

The answer is no results.

Just kidding. This has been going on for more than a year or two in Treson. If there really was a way to solve this problem, the veteran trainers would have used it long ago, and the trainers at Treson headquarters wouldn't be in such short supply year after year.

Humans cannot defeat horse girls; that's common sense.

Nevertheless, at the end of the discussion, one of the trainers made a suggestion that sounded somewhat plausible.

"Well, although we can't fight back if something really happens, if we keep some 'safety measures' on hand, then at least we won't end up in the worst situation, right?"

This sounded like a reliable suggestion, and the other trainers thought about it and felt that there was no problem with it. So this proposal became the only result of the discussion in the group.

But they all seem to have overlooked one thing.

While 'safety measures' can indeed prevent some of the worst-case scenarios from happening, what about those horse girls who were initially just emotionally swayed but hadn't yet reached the point of reckless abandonment? What 'safety measures' might they glimpse when they open their trainer's bag one day...?

What would that be like?

.......

Two weeks later, a large number of trainers from the Treson headquarters went missing. The number was so high that Tsuna Sugawa suspected that Alice Soko had pulled off another big stunt.

After investigating the situation, Tsuna remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a deep sigh.

"What a tragedy..."

Chapter 290: The Changing of the Era (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

Times are always changing.

From monkeys to Homo sapiens, and from Homo sapiens to humans.

From amorphous creatures to horse girls, and from horse girls to racehorse girls.

Whether it's humans or racehorse girls, they've all gradually changed beyond recognition over a long period of time.

In fact, the three goddesses realized long ago that the relationship between the racehorse girls and humans could not remain unchanged forever, and even they themselves were changing.

If they were to harden their hearts and take ruthless measures to strictly limit the development of this world, freezing the relationship between humans and horse girls at a certain moment forever, it wouldn't be impossible.

But if they could do such a thing, the world wouldn't be the way it is today.

It's time to make a choice.

The Three Goddesses realized this the moment they decided to let the Eclipse participate, and after some time of deliberation, they reached a conclusion tonight.

'The era of Uma Musume Pretty Derby is over.'

Simply put, they realized that it was unlikely to continue in the current state, and forcing it would only cause more trouble, so it was better to let go and let nature take its course.

Or to put it more simply.

They set it up.

but......

"Don't you have a compromise solution?"

After a night, Shinji Kitahara, with dark circles under his eyes, looked at the solar eclipse with a puzzled expression.

He didn't sleep a wink last night. Not to mention that after hearing all that jumbled information, who could possibly sleep? But after listening to the proposals from both the Three Goddesses and Shanish, he felt something was off.

After thinking about it all night, he finally realized the problem.

"Aren't your ideas a bit too extreme?"

Either keep it unchanged, or change everything completely, or supervise the whole process, or just quit.

And it's not just the three goddesses; everyone else in this world is the same, including but not limited to the rigid URA, the black market that resorts to extreme measures at the slightest disagreement, or those extreme horse girl protection organizations and anti-horse girl organizations...

Thinking back on all the things I've seen and experienced throughout my time travels, I realize that while this world may seem peaceful and normal on the surface, the number of diodes is unexpectedly high.

Faced with Shinji Kitahara's question, the three goddesses showed puzzled expressions.

"Isn't this just a matter of letting go or not letting go? How can we find a compromise?"

Shinji Kitahara frowned.

"Have you not considered slightly reducing control and guidance, gradually increasing openness and change, and transforming the world step by step?"

"The same goes for Shanish. I found it strange before. I don't think there's anything wrong with her wanting to change, but the way she wants to do it is a bit too extreme."

"Why do the changes you envision always go from one extreme to another? Why can't you combine the two extremes and find a less extreme and more suitable path?"

no answer.

Faced with Shinji Kitahara's question, the three goddesses fell silent.

The three of them couldn't say they hadn't tried the solution Shinji Kitahara mentioned, but they certainly hadn't even considered it.

The reason is very simple.

Just as older people become slower at accepting new things, the three goddesses' thinking has gradually become ingrained over time.

It's not that they particularly dislike new things or want to maintain their rule; rather, they've lived in this kind of environment since birth.

If an ordinary person lives in a place and follows the same set of rules and values ​​for decades, let alone actively wanting to change it, even if someone wants to change it, their first reaction will definitely not be to support the other party, but to maintain the existing rules.

To this day, the three goddesses have followed this set of rules for decades, even hundreds of decades. Their thinking has become so rigid that it's practically fossilized.

Not to mention that they are essentially beings that feed on emotions, and their ability to think rationally is not that strong, so it is not surprising that they develop a diode-like mindset.

In addition to habit and existence itself, there is another factor that promotes the emergence of diode thinking.

That is, the world is just too comfortable.

As mentioned a long time ago, thanks to the protection of the three goddesses, the social environment of this world is far superior to that of Shinji Kitahara's previous life.

No war, no famine, low living pressure, high moral standards, and the ability to relax by watching horse girls in one's free time...

This sounds good, and it actually is, but there's one small detail to keep in mind.

That's because humans, when they have free time, like to ponder.

But if you overthink things, you're more likely to get stuck on a single point.

Then feed these obsessive emotions to the three goddesses...

It's fortunate that the vast majority of people in this world are normal, otherwise the three goddesses might one day say, "Earth is a planet with eight billion people."

"So, what compromise do you plan to make?"

The eclipse itself asked this question.

“A specific plan certainly can’t be come up in a day or two, but what I’m thinking is, could we let the three goddesses maintain their current guidance first, and then start making changes in some subtle ways?”

Shinji Kitahara paused.

"For example, temporarily relaxing regulations on racehorse girls, giving them more room to develop, and providing guidance to humans, letting them try things out on their own..."

"can."

The eclipse nodded.

"So who will do these things?"

"It's not me anyway."

Shinji Kitahara immediately replied.

Just kidding. He has a good grasp of his own abilities. He might be good at being a trainer, but he can't handle events that concern the future of the entire world. Just talking about it is his limit.

Eclipse did not react to Shinji Kitahara's rejection.

Years of interaction had given her the ability to anticipate Kitahara Shinji's answers, and even more.

Just like...

"Alright, I happen to have a good candidate here."

"Who?"

"she."

The Eclipse stretched out its hand and pointed to the Eastern Sea Emperor, who had just woken up in bed, was still rubbing his eyes, and looked completely bewildered.

Shinji Kitahara's eye twitched a few times.

"A solar eclipse, this is no time for jokes..."

"I'm not kidding."

The eclipse remained calm.

"If you find it troublesome, I'll take care of the rest of the work."

Shinji Kitahara blinked.
