I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

Of the remaining 70%, a large portion should be attributed to those who exploited them.

“Trainer Kitahara, you’ve met many horse girls, so you should know that horse girls are naturally inclined to be close to and trust humans.”

"Especially the female horse girls during the period of orthodoxy, due to the rapid growth of their bodies and strength, their mental state also becomes unstable due to this drastic change."

“Those who are interested can achieve the desired effect with just a little guidance during this period.”

"Although I initially thought the formation of the Black Forest was just a coincidence caused by a mistake by the statistics bureau, I discovered some strange clues in their base during the subsequent investigation."

"Out of curiosity, I followed and investigated those clues, and then discovered that behind the Black Forest, there had always been a force restraining and guiding them."

"They first traveled around to find horse girls who had been scattered during the Honkaku period."

"Then, after finding them, they would pretend to have all sorts of identities, show kindness by giving small favors, or even by staging their own performances, in order to shape their image and win their favor."

"Then, after winning her favor and getting to know each other, he began to gradually instill in her the idea that running was a constraint, and Treson was taking advantage of this idea of ​​the horse girl."

"After that, they started trying to get those horse girls who believed their words to come into contact with the words and members of those extreme horse girl rights organizations."

"While further deepening their thinking, we also took the initiative to connect the two and bring them together. While their ideas were further integrated and intensified, it also laid the foundation for the formation of the organization later."

"Due to the mistakes of the statistics bureau and URA, we failed to discover this situation and therefore were unable to stop it."

"Finally, while I was leading my team away from Tresen to carry out the mission issued by URA, they dug out the pieces that had been planted long ago, gathered them together, and tried to use them to deal with Tresen."

“Those leaders didn’t expect them to succeed. They just wanted to cause some trouble for Tresson, forcing us to divert some of our attention to them and relax our control and monitoring of other areas.”

"Then, that force can take the opportunity to carry out their activities, that is..."

Junkawa Tezuna paused for a moment, then uttered those four words.

"Horse Hunting".

silence.

Shinji Kitahara tapped his index finger on the armrest of the chair, then looked up at Tsuna Suguru.

"So, what does Treson plan to do with those horse girls in the Black Forest?"

"Since this was essentially the result of our mistake, Treson will compensate for all the losses they caused."

"After that, once we have finished punishing and re-educating them, we will conduct assessments on them, and then, based on their assessment results, they will be sent to local Teresa in batches or remain at headquarters."

Shinji Kitahara had no complaints about this approach.

Having spent many years wandering and encountered countless horse girls, he knew better than anyone how easily horse girls could be fooled, especially when you were a human.

It's not that they're stupid; in fact, most horse girls have intelligence similar to that of humans.

But the problem is, as Tsuna Sugawa mentioned before, that they are very trusting of others, especially those who show them kindness.

Especially for the period before and after the orthodoxy of the Uma Musume, due to the rapid changes in her body and strength, her mind was already in the most unstable period of her life.

What they do is largely not based on their own will, but rather on the guidance of those around them.

That's why Tsuna said that the emergence of this new situation is mainly the responsibility of the Statistics Bureau and Tresson.

Because they were supposed to be responsible for recruiting these female horses and guiding them onto the right path through education, and the fact that the Black Forest has taken shape is already a very serious mistake.

But Treson can't be entirely blamed for this.

As Treson's superior, URA is fully responsible for matters related to horse girls, but has never considered interfering in human affairs. Therefore, tasks such as population statistics are definitely off-limits and are left to the relevant government departments.

Because of the error on the part of the Census Bureau, not only Teresa, but also the data received by URA was wrong.

Forget about taking any action or making any preparations, they only confirmed the sudden increase in the number of horse girls by sending people out after they realized something was wrong.

Now, the URA, which has never liked to meddle in human affairs, has even started to consider whether to send someone to supervise the work of the Census Bureau in the future—mainly because the job is too big.

After a moment's thought, Shinji Kitahara spoke again.

"So, have the people behind this been found out?"

Surugawa Tezuna shook his head.

"No, they acted very cautiously, and their guidance and influence were not deep. They did not participate in the Black Forest either. After guiding them to take shape, they left, and they cleaned up their traces very well before leaving."

"So how did you find out about these things?"

“Traces may disappear, but memories will not, especially the horse girl’s memories.”

As he spoke, Tsuna narrowed his eyes.

"Perhaps in their eyes, the time they spent with Ma Niang in order to plant chess pieces was just a trivial episode in their lives that they would soon forget."

"But what they don't know is that the horse women often remember those memories they find beautiful for a long time, even if they are just small, insignificant memories that seem insignificant to ordinary people."

"Especially for those who are a bit simple-minded... I mean, those who are more innocent-minded, it might even be one of their most precious memories, and the memory will be exceptionally clear."

"If it weren't for this, their guidance wouldn't have had such a profound impact on them, with some still firmly believing it to this day..."

Shinji Kitahara tapped the armrest of his chair and naturally picked up the conversation.

"Then, after discovering that they have been deceived and taken advantage of, that will probably become one of their saddest memories."

Junkawa Tessuna nodded without speaking, but his eyes gradually turned cold.

After a period of silence, Shinji Kitahara looked at the chairman behind the table.

"So, Chairman, what exactly did you call me here for? It can't just be to tell me this, can it?"

Seeing him looking at her, Akikawa Yayoi flicked her folding fan and said seriously.

"This is bad! Although the force behind us has temporarily ceased its activities, they will definitely start acting again. Treson cannot sit idly by, so we need the assistance of an expert in this field, which means you, Trainer Kitahara, can help us."

Upon hearing this, Shinji Kitahara was taken aback.

"Expert? Chairman, you must be mistaken. I'm not an expert..."

The chairman flicked his folding fan, interrupting him directly.

"Objection! I've been following your information for years, and I discovered that in the URA's statistics on horse-girl hunting incidents, 90% of the survivors mentioned your name, and your name appears in nearly 80% of the case files..."

"No, Chairman, I didn't mean to say that I wasn't involved in those things."

Shinji Kitahara gave a wry smile and said helplessly.

"What I want to say is that I am not an expert, I was just unlucky."

"I don't have any means of tracking them, nor do I have any special countermeasures. It's just that no matter where I go, I always run into them."

"It's like they're chasing me."

Chapter 75: Full Power of Attorney

Shinji Kitahara gets really angry when it comes to horse hunting.

Aside from their animalistic behavior, what infuriated him even more was that these hangers seemed to be following him everywhere he went.

Especially before entering the Treson headquarters, when he chatted with another trusted elder besides the elderly horse girl, he learned that there had been a total of sixty-eight horse girl hunting incidents in the entire JP over the years.

Then he encountered sixty-four cases all by himself.

Damn it, are you guys hunting horse girls or hunting him?!

Where are the three goddesses? Three goddesses, please save us!

Moreover, although Shinji Kitahara prefers a peaceful, plant-like life and dislikes actively causing trouble.

But the problem is that the horse girl's hunting has really crossed his line, and he can't just sit idly by.

While most of these situations can be resolved by notifying the police or the Umaru Police Station, or even simply by calling in some adults, not all incidents are so easy to handle.

For example, in the case of Special Week, by the time he discovered it, the other party had already locked up Special Week and started transporting it. He didn't have time to notify others, so he had to go himself.

Although it's not impossible for him to notify the surrounding police and residents to directly encircle and search the mountain.

The problem is that horse hunters are called horse hunters, not horse traders, because they don't care about the life or death of their goods.

While a living horse is certainly more valuable, a dead horse is also quite valuable and convenient for transportation.

He dared not gamble on whether the other party would harm Te Zhou after entering the mountains or when they found themselves with no way out, so he could only follow them directly.

After finding an opportunity to rescue Special Week, the two worked together to paralyze the horse hunters and then escaped.

However, before escaping, he made an excuse to go to the toilet and went over to add some drugs to those people, rendering them unable to move. Then he made some holes in their bodies, collected some blood, and sprayed it out.

In the mountains, there are people who cannot move, and the smell of blood permeates the air.

What will happen?

Shinji Kitahara didn't know, and he didn't care to know.

Anyway, it wasn't him who did it, so what's it to him? Isn't it normal to be attacked by wild animals while hiking in the mountains?

But the special week wasn't the most troublesome; in fact, it only ranked as medium to high difficulty among all the situations he encountered.

Although many horse hunters are driven by greed, they usually lack skill and awareness, have poor equipment, and their numbers are not large.

But not all horse hunters are like that.

The most challenging horse hunt he had ever witnessed involved nearly thirty opponents, all of whom were skilled in martial arts and possessed considerable equipment.

Crossbows, hunting rifles, tranquilizer darts, night vision goggles, bulletproof vests...

It's important to understand that this world has almost never experienced war, so military-related technology and education are not very advanced.

Especially considering that guns are strictly prohibited in Japan regardless of the world, the composition of this team can be described as extremely outrageous.

So how did Shinji Kitahara defeat them?

Of course it's not resolved.

Just kidding. He was just a kid back then. His limit was already taking down four or five adults by drugging and ambushing them. Asking him to deal with these people would just be suicide.

So he just watched them take away the horse girl they had hunted?

Of course not.

Although he couldn't beat this group of people, who said he was all alone?

The solar eclipse, which ignored his advice and insisted on getting involved, certainly counts as one, but as for the other one...

It sounds a bit far-fetched, but even now, Shinji Kitahara still doesn't know her name.

I knew she was very old, about the same age as the old horse woman. She had a terrible temper and was incredibly strong. She wielded a wooden knife and cut down nearly half of the people inside.

The remaining half, of course, was dealt with during the solar eclipse.

As for Shinji Kitahara himself?

He quietly followed behind the two women, and whenever they knocked one down, he would finish her off with a knife, making sure no one was left alive.

Unlike solar eclipses, which tend to be heavy-handed once they begin, eclipses are different.

He wasn't that brutal, so he preferred to kill.

However, after he had finished off nearly half of the heads, the elderly woman with the wooden knife noticed the commotion behind her, turned around, and her eyes twitched.

"I'm keeping them alive to get information."

Oh, that's okay.

So he obediently shrank back.

After that incident, he became acquainted with the elderly woman who carried the wooden sword.

However, perhaps because of her work, she was always very busy and hated being disturbed.

Unless she takes the initiative to contact him, even sending a holiday greeting on Line could get her scolded.

Unlike the elderly horsewoman in the clothing store, this one won't verbally abuse people or seek revenge if she gets angry.

She prefers to take direct action, and she usually does it quite hard.

So even though he'd been at Tressen headquarters for a month, he hadn't contacted this senior even once, or even told her that he'd come to Tressen headquarters.

After all, he couldn't guarantee that sending this message wouldn't disturb the other person's work, and thus become a reason for him to be beaten up the next time they met.

Moreover, although most of the elderly horsewomen he met during his years of wandering were kind and gentle, these two with wicked personalities were the ones who became his closest friends...

Thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite strange.

Fortunately, he has always had a good attitude and doesn't like to get to the bottom of problems.

Even though they had already regarded the other person as one of the only two elders they could trust, they still didn't even know the other person's name.
