I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

After all, a qualified Yamato Nadeshiko must learn to control the distance in her interactions with the opposite sex.

Moreover, Shinji Kitahara had just finished taking care of three people and had exhausted a lot of energy, so it wouldn't be appropriate to trouble him further.

But the problem is, she's really curious now.

It's just routine nursing care, why such a strong reaction?

Thinking this through, Ms. Cao hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to Shinji Kitahara's suggestion and slowly lay down with Eclipse's help.

Then, in the very next second, the moment she sensed Shinji Kitahara's hand on her body.

Her smile froze.

......

Half an hour later.

On Shinji Kitahara's bed.

Eclipse and Alice Digital exchanged a silent glance, sighed, and then each took turns caring for the two unconscious, useless people on the bed.

Curiosity killed the cat.

Chapter 97: Have you forgotten someone?

Although the number of female horse girls in the dormitory gradually increased, Shinji Kitahara's life did not change much.

As usual, I got up, washed up, went to the training ground, and then took out two cell phones.

One is used to browse forums and group chats, and the other is used to help with work at Aili Digital.

As for Ms. Grass, although she was molded into that shape yesterday, Ms. Grass is still Ms. Grass.

When she woke up the next day, although her tail was wagging wildly, at least her facial expression was normal, and she didn't show any shyness. She just unconsciously took a slight step back when Kitahara Shinji raised his hand.

As for Ali Digital, under Shinji Kitahara's care, although the effects of the drug were still present, her mental state was much better than on the first day, and her eyes had also changed slightly.

However, not everyone is in good condition.

Take Alice, for example.

On the one hand, we've been working overtime lately to research an antidote, and on the other hand, it's also because of the existence of the internal organ.

Although my body is well taken care of by the internal medicine department, my mental state is somewhat irritable. Now, whenever I return to the lab, I instinctively curl up into a ball like a hamster. The pressure of studying and researching is immense, and I am having a very difficult time.

But she knew she had brought it on herself, so she didn't protest. She just silently endured it while thinking about how to avoid similar accidents in the future.

And so, time passed slowly in this tranquility, and a morning quickly came to an end.

At noon, as usual, Shinji Kitahara went to the special offer window and ordered a different side dish than Oguri Hattori's, just as he had agreed with her a few days earlier. He then divided it in half and handed one half to Oguri Hattori personally.

Oguri accepted the gift with delight, then shared half of her own meal with Kitahara Shinji, and began to eat the half of the meal that Kitahara Shinji had handed her in small bites.

And it's not just half.

Because Shinji Kitahara is human, and the side dishes at the bonus window are made according to the standards of Uma Musume, he often can't finish those side dishes, and the amount left over is usually quite large, even half of it.

At this point, Little Chestnut Hat would naturally take the remaining side dishes and help him finish them off.

At first, Shinji Kitahara felt a little embarrassed by this situation, thinking it was inappropriate for Oguri Hattori to eat so much of what he had left over. He wanted to give Oguri Hattori more food when distributing the meal, and keep only a third for himself.

But Oguri Hat was unusually adamant about it, firmly stating that it had to be half for each of them, and that he could give her the rest if he couldn't finish it.

Faced with Oguri's resolute determination to eat, and seeing the clear appetite in her eyes, Kitahara Shinji tried to persuade her for a while, but gave up when he realized he couldn't change her mind.

After lunch, everyone went to the activity room as usual, and Shinji Kitahara, as usual, took out his phone and started idly playing.

However, he hadn't been setting it up for long when Zhou secretly approached him, looking at him expectantly.

"......What's wrong?"

Zhou blinked.

"Shinji-san, may I stay at your place too?"

Kitahara Shinji: "...?"

"Well, Suzuka went to a summer training camp, so I'm all alone in the dorm now, it's so boring..."

Summer camps are a tradition at Treson College.

To put it simply, during the hottest months of July and August, trainers can apply to take their horses to a seaside resort contracted by Treson to play and train at the same time.

It is also a frequent location for horse jumping accidents.

This year, the weather got hot earlier than usual, so even though it's only late June, many trainers have already applied to go for training camps.

Silent Suzuka originally didn't want to go.

Because summer training camps sometimes require wearing swimsuits, and her figure is widely acknowledged, well...

High EQ is like having a streamlined body that's perfect for running, while low EQ is flatter than my grandma's washboard.

But the problem is, looking at the dozen or so horse girls eyeing him menacingly, the only person who has recently recovered.

Silent Suzuka felt that if she didn't go with him this time, she might only be able to find time to collect his body.

So in the end, he went anyway, leaving Zhou alone in the empty room.

But this matter has nothing to do with Shinji Kitahara.

Because summer training camps are something you can only apply for if you're in your second year as a member of a group.

On his side, the only second-year member of his team is Alice Digital, who is also the team's horse girl. Unless she is immediately contracted to become his responsibility, he will definitely not be involved in this year's summer training camp.

As for the special week's request, Shinji Kitahara thought for a while and did not refuse.

After all, he originally wanted to find a reason to have everyone stay at his place, and the main reason he didn't want Ms. Cao to stay was because he was a little afraid of her.

As for Zhou, he would not refuse since he was safe, obedient, and could also provide Ms. Cao with a strong boost.

Then, after promising to do something special for her and seeing her off happily, time began to pass again.

She takes care of Alice's digital devices, occasionally helps Eclipse look after Grasshopper, secretly rubs Special Weekly food, exchanges food with Little Chestnut Hat, and regularly gives Neicha a treatment...

Out of concern, I couldn't resist checking on Alice, then occasionally chatted with Rudolf Symbol who came over, and dealt with Satomi Hikari and Kita Genko, who would occasionally wander around the campus to familiarize themselves with the environment...

Hmm? Have you forgotten someone?

Shinji Kitahara rubbed his chin, trying to recall what he had overlooked.

But before he could come up with a solution, his phone suddenly rang. When he opened it, he found that it was a message from the chairman, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.

Are you going to deduct my salary? I've been working really hard lately...

Although most of the time it was dealing with things related to Ali Digital that had nothing to do with Treson or the trainers.

With this question in mind, Shinji Kitahara pushed open the door to the chairman's office, then paused slightly.

Because in addition to the usual chairman and Tsuna, there was another person standing in the chairman's office.

He was about 1.8 meters tall, around 40 years old, with a square face and a calm demeanor. He wore a trainer badge on his chest, engraved with lace symbolizing 'legend', and with his name written on it.

Kudo Kazuya.

When Shinji Kitahara came in, he seemed to be talking to the chairman about something.

When Shinji Kitahara came in, he and the chairman looked over and greeted him normally, with a clear sense of gentleness in their eyes.

This person...

Shinji Kitahara paused for a moment, then walked in normally.

This wasn't the first time he'd run into Hisadou Kazuya. They'd even bumped into each other on the training field during this time, exchanging training tips in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Moreover, because his investigation into the Black Forest was public knowledge to the trainers, and considering his previous investigation at the hospital where Clover was located, he knew that Hisadou was also aware that he suspected and was investigating him.

But Shinji Kitahara did not regret not disguising himself when he went to the hospital.

Because he is the only one investigating the behind-the-scenes matters of the Black Forest.

If any strange people come to inquire, Hisato Kazuya will contact them immediately and find out the answer by checking whether they were on campus at the time.

Not to mention, based on his interactions with Clover, Hisato Kazuya is still keeping an eye on him, making it even more impossible to hide.

So he walked in calmly and asked the chairman why he had been summoned.

"A request! Trainer Kazuya Hisadou just submitted a proposal to me. I thought it was excellent, and you are the most suitable person to carry it out, so I wanted to ask you to come and discuss it with me."

A proposal? Or was it given to you by Hisato Kazuya?

Shinji Kitahara was a little confused, then took the documents handed to him by the chairman and began to look through them.

The content of the proposal is not complicated.

Simply put, it's because of the Black Forest incident. Although the Black Forest's philosophy was wrong, it wasn't without its merits.

At least there are indeed some shady organizations that profit from horse racing, such as various organizations that run betting odds on races in private, or paparazzi and reporters.

The problems aren't serious, but they could all potentially affect Ma Niang's life.

On the other hand, although "one horse leads the way, and all others pale in comparison" is Treson's motto, it is also true that the excessive focus on running performance has led to the neglect of those female horses that lack talent.

This proposal offers a solution to these problems.

That is to restart the Black Forest.

However, this does not mean directly rebuilding the Black Forest. Instead, the Tresen headquarters will take the lead, with the active cooperation of various local Tresen campuses, to establish an information and security network composed of students from different campuses.

Although it won't interfere with external affairs, it can at least enhance the ability to resist the aforementioned problems and is also conducive to maintaining the campus environment.

However, enhancing defensive capabilities is not the primary objective.

According to the proposal, the main purpose of restarting the Black Forest is to enhance communication between the various Tressens.

Give those less talented horse girls in those local Teresen areas a chance to provide feedback to Teresen headquarters, to express their thoughts and demands, and to try to make some changes based on that.

Although absolute equality is certainly impossible, Treson will still prioritize running.

However, if possible, Treson would be willing to organize more activities or competitions of a different nature to give those horses that are not good at running some opportunities to perform in other areas.

Why can't the student council do this job?

There are two reasons.

One issue is that the student union's main responsibility is to manage students within the school, so it somewhat oversteps its bounds when dealing with external matters, which could easily lead to conflict.

One is someone who can hold a position in the student union, usually an elite with outstanding running performance.

The Black Forest is mainly meant to advocate for horse girls who aren't good at running; it's not really suitable for elites to do that.

Moreover, due to the recent surge in the number of female horse girls, the Tresson School was already short-staffed.

Organizing such a school-led, student-governed organization could alleviate some of the pressure on the school.

Shinji Kitahara didn't think there was anything wrong with the plan.

The problem is that although this thing looks good in theory, it is not easy to implement in practice.

First, it needs a highly charismatic person to initiate it; then, it needs professionals to be responsible for building the platform and managing community content; and finally, a reliable leader to oversee its management...

Thinking of this, Shinji Kitahara suddenly paused, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

Wait, could it be...

"That's right! We need Trainer Kitahara to take the lead in this, and now we also have Ali Digital to provide technical support, so..."

"No, Chairman, my team already has eight people, it's really..."

The young chairman flicked his folding fan.

"Generous! If we can accomplish this, the academy will provide substantial rewards and stipends."

"It's really hard to refuse."

Shinji Kitahara immediately changed his tune.

There's nothing he can do; he's really short of money right now.

On the one hand, it's because the elderly Ma Niang is still releasing two sets of the final outfit every week, and these are not copies of the previous ones, but new designs based on her own ideas that are completely different from the original.

On the other hand, Shinji Kitahara took the team out for a meal to celebrate their victory in the basic tournament, and they also went out to celebrate the day after Ali Digital's victory.

Although the bonus share from Aili Digital was indeed substantial, and with the previous bonuses, he still had a considerable amount of money left after two meals.

But the problem is, this is only two meals!
