I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

Meanwhile, due to the effects of the drug, Alice was finding it difficult to even speak to Shinji Kitahara, let alone object.

As for the remaining chestnut hat and special week items...

The former is content as long as there is food and doesn't really care about such things.

The latter, after thinking about it, couldn't find any reason to object, so he nodded in agreement.

Moreover, it wasn't just the team; Necha also performed admirably on her own after waking up on the second day of her nursing duties.

After waking up this time, Necha did not stay indoors as before. Instead, she mustered up her courage, suppressed her shame, and took the initiative to talk to him.

For some reason, when they were talking, Nessa's gaze kept darting away, and his body would tremble slightly when Kitahara Shinji looked at him.

However, Shinji Kitahara was not too optimistic.

After all, when Necha had just started receiving nursing care, she didn't have much of a reaction. It was only as the nursing care progressed that she gradually became withdrawn.

And now, the nursing work is only just beginning.

Furthermore, it is foreseeable that, due to her existing problems and physical development, the intensity of the subsequent nursing care will be even greater than before, and the duration will be longer, with a significant possibility of her becoming withdrawn again.

With these thoughts in mind, Shinji Kitahara went to the training ground.

After exchanging greetings, everyone except for Alice, who was absent, got back to their training, and Shinji Kitahara, as usual, took out his phone.

His original plan was to leave it there for a while, and then talk to Ms. Cao about improving his running technique during a break in training.

But less than a short while into training, Shinji Kitahara noticed something unusual in the training field out of the corner of his eye.

Or to be more precise, it's something unusual about Aili Digital.

She seemed to be in a bad mood.

His steps were unsteady, his movements stiff, he was not focused on training, and his face was full of visible confusion.

If it were any other horse girl, Kitahara Shinji might not be so worried.

After all, everyone has bad days. Even the Emperor of the East Sea once had a bad experience when his roommate dragged him to play games all night, and he was late the next day.

But Aili Digital is different.

The training ground has the highest concentration of horse racing girls in the entire Tressenne area, making it a sacred place for Ali Digital.

Whenever she entered the training ground and started training, she couldn't be said to be particularly happy; in other words, even a fangirl would praise her to the point of being overly enthusiastic.

From the time we met until now, including the information we obtained from Alice.

Aside from a few times when he lost online battles and hid under the covers to secretly hug other female characters' original scents and felt depressed for a while, this person's mood has never been bad.

Not to mention that she had just won a Game 1 match a few days ago, and won it in a very impressive manner. The video of her sprint is still circulating online. It should have been her happiest moment, but...

"Did something go wrong? You seem a little unhappy."

Although he doesn't like to interfere in other people's lives, he was really worried about Alice's condition, so he simply took the initiative to go over during his break and sat down next to her.

Alice Digital remained silent for a while, its tail slumped listlessly on the ground, its eyes devoid of their usual luster.

"It's nothing, Kitahara-senpai. I haven't encountered any difficulties; I'm just in a bad mood."

"...Is that so?"

Shinji Kitahara nodded, but didn't ask any further questions. He just sat quietly beside her.

a long time.

A bewildered voice rang out.

"Senior Kitahara, am I... superfluous?"

Shinji Kitahara raised an eyebrow, but did not directly refute him; instead, he asked a question in return.

"Why do you say that?"

After a moment of silence, Aili Digital spoke.

"She always says she loves horses, but she always recklessly causes trouble for others."

"Although I have some skills and have helped some people, others also have those skills, and some even have them better than me."

“And that help was nothing more than something dispensable. Even without me, they could have found other ways to get help, but I was complacent about it.”

"And then there was that previous match. I was supposed to be there to bid farewell to those seniors, but I ended up overshadowing their brilliance and taking away the last chance to shine that should have been theirs."

"And without me, those predecessors could have had a more perfect ending, and everyone could have had an easier time..."

“Alice Digital,” Shinji Kitahara suddenly interrupted her.

"...What's wrong, Kitahara-senpai?"

Shinji Kitahara turned his head, reached out and turned Alice Digital's head around, staring into her eyes with a serious tone.

"Tell me honestly, after we parted last night, did Alice give you something weird?"

"......No."

Aili Digital paused for a moment, then added.

"I promised to let her try the drug, and I'm sorry if that's caused you worry..."

"No, you're not the one who should apologize."

Shinji Kitahara pulled Ali Digital off the ground with a very forceful attitude and then turned to look at the Eclipse.

"Let's go find Alice."

......

When Shinji Kitahara arrived at Alice's laboratory with Eclipse and Alice Digital, Alice was being severely tortured by Tsuna Surugawa.

Upon seeing Shinji Kitahara arrive, Alice's eyes lit up, and she began to shout for help. Tsuna Surugawa also showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and stopped the hand that was torturing Alice.

Just as Tsuna was about to explain and apologize, Shinji Kitahara spoke up.

"Miss Junchuan, please increase the intensity."

Hearing his words, Alice was taken aback.

Then, in the next instant, the agonizing screams of a pig being slaughtered rang out again, even more intense than before.

......

After one hour.

Feeling her buttocks were a little swollen, Alice sat in the chair, grimacing, and investigated what had happened to Alice Digital.

"My original plan was to create an enhanced version of that pleasure suppressant, one that could block out sensations while a person was conscious, but it seems I misunderstood the ingredients, changing the blocked sensations to feelings of attraction..."

"No, it can't be called affection, but it's more like a positive feeling."

"Simply put, nowadays, no matter what she does, almost all positive feedback is blocked, while negative feedback and negative emotions are fine, and in fact, they're even more pronounced because of the disappearance of positive feedback..."

As Alice spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, clearly realizing the seriousness of the matter.

There's no positive feedback, only negative feedback. If this suppression continues, it might affect her mental health and leave permanent psychological trauma.

In the worst-case scenario, it could even lead her to have suicidal thoughts.

"Is there an antidote?" Shinji Kitahara asked.

"......No."

Alice felt increasingly guilty.

"But this medicine is supposed to have a time limit. I only meant for her to drink a little, but she drank it all at once, so the effect might last a bit longer..."

"How much exactly?"

"...It shouldn't take more than a week."

Shinji Kitahara remained silent for a moment, then looked at Tsuna Sugawa, who had listened to the entire conversation.

The latter immediately understood and walked over under the horrified gaze of Alice, and then heart-wrenching wails echoed through the room once again.

Then, while torturing Alice in his arms, Tsuna looked at Shinji Kitahara.

"Trainer Kitahara, what are your plans next? This situation is likely to be troublesome. If you need help, I can apply to Chairman Bian..."

"No need, you've all been quite busy lately, and besides..."

Shinji Kitahara turned to look at the bewildered and timid Ali Digital beside him. Several familiar figures flashed through his mind, and he sighed deeply, the weariness in his heart almost tangible.

"Thanks to a few little masters, I'm very good at dealing with these kinds of people, so just leave the rest to me."

Speaking of which, those little devils seem to be all at Treson headquarters right now, but none of them have come looking for him yet...

Have you forgotten him? Or do you not know he's here?

Shinji Kitahara didn't know, but he didn't dwell on it too much.

After all, while those little devils weren't exactly dangerous, they were all incredibly troublesome. If they could forget about him, it would actually be a good thing for him.

Then, after reviewing his experiences dealing with those little devils in his mind, Shinji Kitahara walked up to Alice Digital, put his hands on her shoulders, stared into her eyes, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Listen up, Aili Digital. If you don't want to cause me any trouble, you'd better behave yourself from now on. Say what I tell you to say, do what I tell you to do, and don't have any questions. Understand?"

Alice Digital was startled by his sudden seriousness, and then cautiously spoke.

"But, Kitahara-senpai, I..."

"I said, there must be no doubt whatsoever, understand?"

silence.

Aili Digital hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back.

"Yes, Kitahara-senpai."

Seeing that she was so cooperative, Kitahara Shinji nodded in satisfaction.

As expected, this is a man-made little prodigy; compared to those born naturally, its purity is far inferior.

Then, shortly after she agreed, Shinji Kitahara spoke again, earnestly.

"Alright, now that you understand, tell me everything that makes you sad, and don't forget a single thing."

“If it’s too embarrassing to say this here, then we can go somewhere safer. I can also assure you that no third person will know anything you tell me.”

Upon hearing this, Alice Digital's eyes widened slightly, as if she wanted to say something.

But before she could speak, Shinji Kitahara spoke again, his tone extremely serious.

"Listen, digital, you are very important to me, and I will never find you troublesome, because what I fear more than trouble is losing you."

"So please, Digital, trust me, tell me everything, and leave it to me."

silence.

Then a faint, trembling sound arose.

"Yes, Kitahara-senpai."

Chapter 95: Then things become very simple.

Because of some past reasons, Shinji Kitahara has extensive experience dealing with these little devils who are full of negative emotions, so he knows very well how to quickly stabilize the situation at Aili Digital.

Normal communication is not possible.

For these little devils whose minds are full of negative emotions, the more you comfort them and try to communicate normally, the more excited they become. They might even use their rich experience to lead you astray during the communication process.

Although it is possible to influence or even gradually change their personality through normal means, such as long-term companionship and encouragement.

The problem is that when Shinji Kitahara encountered those little devils, the situation was usually quite critical, and there was no time to slowly play this kind of nurturing game, so he had to cut the Gordian knot quickly.

We should neither agree with them nor offer comfort, otherwise their situation will only worsen.

You can't get angry or annoyed, otherwise they'll start to doubt themselves.

Tell them how important they are to you in the fastest and most direct way possible, without leaving any room for them to doubt you, and don't lie, or you'll be asking for trouble.

Then, based on this, let them follow your instructions, starting with small things, and gradually build their confidence.

In this way, he can quickly build their trust in him, and then direct them to take more actions.

This not only avoids trouble caused by their personalities, but sometimes it can even turn what was originally a burden into a reliable helper.

However, the situation at Aili Digital is a little different from those little masters.
