I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

So she wasn't in a hurry at all.

Sirius, however, was clearly unaware of that at the moment, and looked at Rudolf, who had a calm expression, with some suspicion.

Strange, has this woman changed her personality today?

"Have you thought this through? If I squeeze him dry, you'll have to wait a few days..."

"random."

Rudolf picked up a newspaper, poured himself a glass of water, and sat down in a chair, looking completely unconcerned.

"Just pretend I'm not here."

"...Then I won't be polite."

Rudolf smiled and gestured for them to proceed.

Before he could say anything more, Shinji Kitahara was tackled onto the bed.

.......

after a while.

"...She seems to have fainted."

Rudolf put down his newspaper, stood up, and looked confident and composed.

"Looks like it's my turn."

It's good to be able to fool a cannon fodder in the first wave; now let's see how she performs...

......

after a while.

Looking at the two unconscious horse girls on the bed.

Shinji Kitahara sighed deeply.

"Honestly, the two of you combined aren't even as good as Eclipse alone..."

"Where does this confidence come from...?"

Chapter 314: Symbol of the Clan Head

The next day, when Kitahara Shinji woke up, he was met with two pairs of resentful eyes.

"...You wanted it yourselves."

Shinji Kitahara looked away.

Because these two were so confident, Shinji Kitahara loosened up a bit last night.

As a result, even with his energy to help them recover, these two probably won't be able to get out of bed before noon, let alone see anyone.

They both knew, of course, that it was their fault, so they didn't say anything, but just looked at Kitahara Shinji with a quiet gaze.

"...Shall I go make you some breakfast?"

"Okay, I want to bring meat."

"I want to bring carrots."

So Shinji Kitahara got dressed and prepared to prepare some food for them.

But as soon as he stepped outside, he saw an old female horse standing there quietly.

And judging from the looks of it, they'd been standing there for more than a short while.

Shinji Kitahara remained silent for a while.

"I need to go and get them some food first."

"Go to the kitchen and get their favorite things."

Old Ma's mother turned and left.

"Then come to my study."

"......Yes."

......

after a while.

Old Ma, or rather, the symbol of speed, sat in her chair, looking at Kitahara Shinji in front of her.

"How was last night?"

"To be honest, it's not very good."

Shinji Kitahara sighed.

So far, he hasn't even had a single truly satisfying experience.

If this continued, he began to wonder if he would develop some kind of physiological problem as a result.

"What, do you feel the Symbol family hasn't been hospitable enough?"

"No, it's just, um..."

Shinji Kitahara considered his words for a while, but finally decided to tell the truth.

"I do think the symbolist family is not very good."

Speed ​​symbol twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a forced, insincere smile.

What do you mean by 'not very good'?

“I don’t think a normal family should be forced into that situation.”

He looked directly into the eyes that symbolized speed and said earnestly.

"It's not wrong to aspire to good results, it's not wrong to want the family to grow stronger, and it's not wrong to take some measures to correct their behavior..."

"But they pressured them to that extent, to the point that they wouldn't have come back without me, and after winning the three championships, they weren't willing to serve the family. Instead, they wanted to be the student council president in Treson and personally send out promising talents..."

"Let me correct my assessment. It's not that it's bad, but rather that it's stupid and terrible."

"If it weren't for having such a talented child, the Symbol family would have been finished long ago."

As Shinji Kitahara narrated, the speed symbol's expression grew increasingly serious, and his eyes became increasingly cold.

Speed ​​symbol stared into his eyes until he finished speaking.

Then......

I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I knew you would say that."

Speed ​​symbolizes a happy smile.

"I think so too."

Kitahara Shinji: "......"

What's going on here? Aren't you the symbol of the head of the household?

Is it appropriate to make fun of yourself like this?

"What do you think the head of the family is? An emperor who commands absolute obedience?"

"...As for other people, I don't think so, after all, a family is a community of interests based on blood ties."

Shinji Kitahara looked at her and said earnestly.

"But I think you are."

After all, this old Deng looks like a tyrant.

"Then I really am."

Faced with Shinji Kitahara's questioning, Speed ​​Symbol readily admitted it.

In terms of prestige and ability, she was indeed a tyrant who symbolized absolute authority in the household.

But that doesn't mean she has the ability to change everything.

“I can command any member of the symbolic family to do anything, but even so, I cannot change their minds.”

Thoughts and ideas can never be changed simply by talking.

She could have easily used brute force to command those people to change, but she would only be met with insincere compliance, or even a group attack.

Not to mention others, I myself, who grew up with the same concept and is now the symbol of speed for the head of the Speed ​​Family, am one of them.

“You can tell others what you just said, but they will only think that Rudolph’s success was due to the Symbolist’s education, not her talent, and that her departure was not due to the Symbolist’s ideas, but simply a betrayal.”

This sounds unbelievable, since a normal person would never think that way.

But Shinji Kitahara knew she was right.

If symbolism were even remotely normal, Rudolf and Sirius wouldn't have considered severing their relationship.

"You don't seem surprised by my identity."

"Anyway, it's definitely one of those few families. They're basically either the Symbol, Mejiro, Satomi, or the Northern Region. They're either the head of the family or a remnant of the old regime."

Shinji Kitahara is quite clear-headed when it comes to matters outside of emotions.

He just didn't want to dwell on it too much.

"How are the two children?"

Speed ​​symbolizes the question.

"I will be responsible."

Now that things have come to this, Shinji Kitahara has no choice but to take responsibility.

"And what about the symbolists? You should understand that the moment you have a relationship with them, it's already unavoidable."

"......I have no idea."

Shinji Kitahara looked up.

"But I think that compared to thinking about the future, it's better for the symbol family to focus on the present."

"How to say?"

Then Shinji Kitahara explained the new era, the changes, and the alienation of Sirius last night.

Speed's expression turned serious.

No one knew the Symbol family's situation better than her. If what Kitahara Shinji said was true, then the Symbol family was indeed not yet qualified to consider the future.

Because if things go wrong, one day you might wake up to find that there are no survivors in your family.

Headache.

Speed ​​symbol rubbed his head.

She never imagined that the little guy who used to follow her around like a puppy and deliver the final blow would now be able to stir up such a huge storm.

Even the symbolist is in grave danger in the face of this storm.

"Aren't you the one who can stabilize her situation? Then, for my sake, help the Symbol family..."

"I'd be happy to help if I could, but I can't just jump ship with everyone."

Shinji Kitahara looked helpless.

"......Too."

Speed ​​Symbol thought for a moment, then took out something that looked like some kind of emblem and tossed it to Kitahara Shinji.

Shinji Kitahara caught it and looked at her.

"This is......"

"By holding this, you are essentially half the head of the symbolic family."

Speed ​​is a symbol of explanation.

"Don't refuse. Even if you throw that thing away, with both children with you, you're still practically the de facto head of the family."
