I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

It's hard to say about Shinji Kitahara.

Although, based on what he had seen and heard at the Treson headquarters recently, it seemed that not all horse girls were abnormal.

Especially those around him, apart from Alice who occasionally tried to add something to his water, they were all well-behaved, sensible and obedient, and never showed any unusual behavior.

Admittedly, his deliberate distance from them and his firm resistance to attempts to gain their favor (at least in Kitahara Shinji's own view) certainly played a part, but it also proves that not all horse girls are dangerous species with maxed-out possessiveness.

Satomi Kozumi might be the same, but Kitahara Shinji wouldn't dare gamble.

Because if she becomes dangerous, the consequences could be far greater than any other dangerous stallion girl.

If other female horses were to become dangerous, they would mostly just want to possess their trainer alone. They would find an opportunity to put the trainer in a sack and take him to the basement to enjoy a 'wonderful life' alone with him. As long as the trainer doesn't resist and is obedient, nothing will usually happen.

But this one...

Perhaps in some situations she will take the same actions as other horse girls, but more likely she will take all sorts of bizarre actions to gradually strip away everything about the person she wants to possess until she completely controls them.

Alternatively, it can be summarized in a few words.

The young lady is a shrewd, ruthless, and even utterly insane and deranged.

Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario.

The character Hikari Satomi who has appeared in front of Shinji Kitahara so far hasn't even started his orthodox transformation yet.

She looked young and had a slightly uneasy expression on her face. She sat upright with her small, fair arms placed in front of her. It was clear that she was trying hard to maintain the demeanor of a young lady, but perhaps because she was facing a stranger, the slight nervousness in her eyes was also very obvious.

Beside her, the black-haired Genko Kita acted completely differently. He showed none of the shyness or unease one would expect when meeting a stranger; in fact, he seemed quite familiar with her, his gaze towards Shinji Kitahara filled with curiosity.

"Is Mr. Kitahara a trainer at the Treson headquarters?"

"Ah."

Shinji Kitahara smiled and nodded.

Although he was startled by Satomi Hikari's appearance, after he came to his senses, he realized that things weren't as bad as he had thought, and that he had been worrying too much.

Putting everything else aside, judging from how young Kita Genko and Satomi Hikari are, they certainly won't be able to get into Treson anytime soon, let alone have any chance of developing a relationship with him.

Furthermore, this wasn't his first time dealing with dangerous horse girls. While he might not be a seasoned veteran, he was certainly experienced enough. Even if Satomi Hikari did develop some kind of connection with him, he was confident he could maintain a safe distance.

Moreover, even if we assume that Hikari Satomi infiltrated Tressen and established some kind of connection with him, and he didn't maintain proper distance, it doesn't mean she would target him.

There are plenty of good men, good women, and good horses in Teresa, so why would anyone take a liking to a good-for-nothing like him who slacks off all day?

Moreover, this reason applies not only to Hikari Satomi, but also to other horse girls.

Although he is somewhat skilled at training, and although he sometimes helps others, and although he knows that his appearance is definitely not bad, Shinji Kitahara is not so arrogant as to think that others will like him for such inexplicable reasons.

So, after the initial shock, he quickly calmed down and began to patiently answer the various questions posed by the Northern Black Horse.

The conversation between the two parties was very pleasant, and the content was very serious and appropriate—of course, this was mainly because Shinji Kitahara cut out the inappropriate and child-inappropriate parts, otherwise the two little ones might have been shocked.

In short, there were no surprises in this conversation. The content was just a routine explanation of the internal workings of Treson to a curious child. Even Hikari Satomi, who was standing next to him, didn't say a single word from beginning to end.

Finally, although he was still a little scared of seeing the light drill, seeing such a small child so restless, Shinji Kitahara felt a little guilty. After hesitating for a while, he turned to look at her and took the initiative to speak.

"Ms. Satomi, is there a problem?"

When he asked the question, Satomi Hikari seemed startled, but shook his head slightly after realizing what he meant.

"No, it's okay, I'm fine..."

Since she had already said that, Shinji Kitahara naturally wouldn't ask any more questions. After chatting with the elderly horse girl for a few more minutes, he saw that it was getting late and got up to take his leave.

The elderly horse maiden also kept him this time, after all, he brought seven horse maidens with him this time, and it seemed that several of them had quite a good appetite.

Although the elderly horse mother is capable enough to feed them, the biggest problem is the lack of ingredients—after all, most people wouldn't build a granary at home just to have a meal, right?

So the elderly horse lady didn't ask Kitahara Shinji and his group to stay for dinner anymore. However, she began to consider whether to buy a warehouse nearby to store food for the future—the scheming at the dinner table was quite interesting.

After their conversation, the elderly woman and Shinji Kitahara returned to the shop. They picked out some clothes for the newcomers and then saw them off.

However, what Shinji Kitahara and the elderly horse girl didn't know was that after they returned to the shop, the two little ones left in the yard also started communicating at the same time.

"Little Diamond, what's wrong with you today?"

Northern Black Horse looked at Rimi Hikari with some confusion.

In her memory, although Satomi Hikari wasn't exactly the type to be overly outgoing, as the eldest daughter of the Satomi family, she was at least not afraid of strangers and would never show nervousness in front of strangers, which could be considered impolite.

But just now, after hearing the elderly woman introduce that name, she clearly felt that Satomi Hikari's emotions suddenly fluctuated, and his behavior was very different from usual.

Faced with the question from Genkobuchi, Kozumi Satomi remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Xiao Bei, have you heard of the urban legend of the 'walking wishing machine'?"

Due to certain family factors, Kozo Satomi has a very strong interest in 'breaking bad luck'.

Misfortune is often associated with various ghost stories and urban legends, so it's not that Hikari Satomi has no interest in ghost stories and urban legends; on the contrary, he is extremely enthusiastic about them.

With the help of his family, it's no exaggeration to say that Hikaru Satomi is an expert in this field.

Then, a few years ago, she came across a record of an urban legend called "The Walking Wishing Machine". After reading it, she was deeply attracted to it and has been obsessed ever since, continuing to search for related information to this day.

When she first heard the elderly horse girl say that she knew a trainer in Tresene, she didn't really think much of it.

After all, the Satomi family is one of the major horse girls families, and there are quite a few trainers in the family, some of whom have worked at the Treson headquarters. This time, they came purely to accompany Genkoma Kita.

What she didn't expect was that the trainer the elderly horse girl mentioned would be Shinji Kitahara.

I should have dressed up nicely before coming, at least changed my clothes. I should have talked more and tried to make a good impression...

Satomi Hikari regretted it a little.

Seeing her like this, after listening to her explanation, Beibu Xuanju patted her on the shoulder and comforted her.

"Little Diamond, what are you worried about? Didn't that senior (referring to the elderly horse girl) say that Trainer Kitahara is now working at the Treson headquarters? Why don't we go there and visit him when we have time?"

Upon hearing her words, Hikari Satomi blinked.

It seems that's how it is...

Although the Treson headquarters is generally not open to outsiders, it certainly does not include the eldest daughter of the Satomi family.

That is to say...

"Okay."

Satomi Hikari blinked and smiled.

"After that, Xiao Bei, you'll have to come with me over there."

"No problem, Little Diamond, you came here with me too."

Northern Black Horse laughed heartily and agreed.

......

the other side.

"Ah-"

Shinji Kitahara sneezed, a vague sense of unease flashing through his mind, a feeling that he was being watched by something.

He initially thought it was just his imagination and didn't take it seriously.

A few seconds later, he noticed something had appeared beside him.

Or rather, there's one more person.

Special Zhou was holding the clothes that Kitahara Shinji had just picked out for her, tugging at them here and there, occasionally glancing at him out of the corner of her eye, looking like a curious child. But seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, she didn't disturb him.

Zhou was right; Kitahara Shinji was indeed pondering a problem.

That's Ms. Cao, how come you're so disappointing again!

--------

Chapter Sixty: Sure enough, something's not right.

Upon seeing Zhou's unusual presence beside him, Shinji Kitahara roughly guessed where the unease came from and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ms. Cao, how could you be so incompetent?

And if you're going to mess up, just mess up. Don't take it out on others because of your own mistakes...

Ok?

Shinji Kitahara had assumed that Ms. Kusa was currently staring at him with resentment, and that her hand might even be reaching for the naginata behind her back.

But when he secretly glanced over from the corner of his eye, he found that Ms. Cao's expression was perfectly normal. Although she was somewhat disappointed compared to before, she was much better than before she set off, and she didn't seem to want to touch the naginata.

Even after he looked over, Ms. Grass noticed his gaze and returned a smile.

Shinji Kitahara was stunned.

Although he may be emotionally insensitive in some ways, there are always trade-offs, and vice versa. In exchange for some emotional insensitivity, he gains an extremely keen perception of malice.

Just like when I was attacked by that silly horse girl at school, if I hadn't been sure from the beginning that she didn't have any ill intentions towards me and that she was holding back very obviously, making it difficult for her to go too far, that's why it was so hard for me to fight her.

And now, for the same reason, he can also confirm that Ms. Cao's current demeanor is not an act, but rather that she genuinely has no ill intentions towards him, and even seems to be somewhat grateful.

What, what's going on?

He wasn't worried that Ms. Cao had taken a liking to him, because it was obvious that she was still focused on Special Week and didn't pay much attention to him or show any other unusual behavior, which made it even more difficult to figure out what she was thinking.

Could it be because of her previous assists that she considers herself an ally in the same camp?

Or perhaps he feels like Zhou's older brother, and sees himself as Zhou's brother-in-law?

Shinji Kitahara felt it should be one of these two options, or both.

Moreover, he couldn't very well ask Ms. Cao about this directly.

Besides, even if I were to ask, it might upset her and cause some avoidable accidents, so it's best to just maintain the status quo.

Thinking this, he ended his eye contact with Ms. Cao, then turned to Special Zhou beside him, took the initiative to ask her about her doubts, and after answering her questions, he chatted with everyone as they returned to the academy without any accidents along the way.

After returning to the college, everyone had lunch, then spent some time in the activity room, putting away the things they had bought. After chatting for a while, they parted ways to attend to their own business.

Shinji Kitahara returned to his dormitory, but instead of immediately slacking off, he sat down at his computer and took out the arrangements and plans for next week's basic competition that he had just received from Ali Digital.

After a quick check to confirm there were no problems, he put the file aside, then opened his phone and accessed the trainers' group chat.

Since the chairman announced the new regulations on Monday, the trainer group has been very lively. The number of messages often reaches 99 within minutes, and the content of the chat is unprecedentedly unified, which is to discuss where to find suitable roles and team horses.

Although Shinji Kitahara had no worries about this since the team's condition had already met the requirements, it didn't stop him from watching the fun in the group chat and occasionally popping in to give them some bad advice... I mean suggestions.

However, not all trainers are struggling with this problem.

Aside from those who already have teams, many trainers in the group have found new roles or team members within this week, completing their mission targets ahead of schedule. This includes the trainers who often chat with Shinji Kitahara in the group.

For example, Xiao Youyi, although her name sounds a bit masculine, is actually a woman.

She arrived two years earlier than Shinji Kitahara. Before the new regulations, there was a random person in charge of the horse girl role. After the new regulations were implemented, she quickly took action and found a second person in charge, who happened to be an acquaintance of Shinji Kitahara.

Tamamo Cross, also known as Tama or Tamako-san.

She had dealings with Shinji Kitahara before, and is now Oguri Hat's roommate. She is also a very strong horse girl.

As soon as Koyoichi found Tamamo Cross to take on the new role, he immediately announced it in the group chat, and the other trainers also sent their congratulations right away.

But somehow, as we were exchanging congratulations, the topic suddenly veered off course.

Futo Daichi: Wait, why do I keep getting this feeling of déjà vu with Komata Ichi's team, like...

Nishiguchi Hide: It's like a bunch of kids playing house?

Futo Daichi: Yes, yes, that's exactly the feeling.

Xiao Youyi: ......

Xiao Youyi: Shut up! It's not like I wanted to grow up like this!

Perhaps because his family was poor and he didn't get enough nutrition, or perhaps it's simply due to his own condition, although Koyoichi is currently older than Shinji Kitahara, his physical development is very disappointing.

She wasn't exactly flat-chested, but rather completely flat-chested, and she wasn't very tall either, only 1.43 meters—and it's said that she secretly wore height-increasing pads.

But that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that she had a baby face, which, combined with her figure, almost led her to be mistaken for a middle school student who had wandered into the wrong school and sent away by her colleagues on her first day of work. In the end, it even alarmed the chairman of the board.

Moreover, it wasn't just her; her first classmate also looked young and inexperienced. Although she was a high school student, no one would doubt that she was an elementary school student just by looking at her. They were truly kindred spirits.
