I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

The direction of the movement was slightly different from what he had expected.

Hisadou Kazuya did not do anything to sabotage or obstruct him in the slightest; on the contrary, he actively worked to help him in various ways.

By leveraging his personal connections, he garnered significant support outside the school and secured channels for the new Black Forest organization to voice their opinions and collaborate with others, giving the organization considerable power from the outset.

This is no simple matter, because he personally went to persuade them, so if anything goes wrong in the Black Forest, Hisadou Kazuya himself will also suffer losses.

This behavior puzzled Shinji Kitahara.

It feels even stranger that he did this knowing he knew that he was suspicious and investigating him.

But Shinji Kitahara didn't dwell on the matter for too long.

After all, he has been investigating the 'black market' for more than ten years, so a little more time won't make a difference. He can just keep waiting.

If Hisadou Kazuya is indeed a member of the 'black market,' he will eventually be exposed.

If he wasn't, then Shinji Kitahara wouldn't have wronged an innocent person.

Meanwhile, the investigation by the senior, Ma Niang, has also fallen into a similar predicament.

According to the message sent by the senior, Ma Niang, the people in those two portraits have been identified.

One is a trainer in the local Teresen, and the other is someone from a horse girl rights protection organization.

Although neither of them was as outrageous as Hisadou Kazuya, they were both locally recognized as fans of horse girls, with no bad records and no abnormal expenses or income in private.

Even so, the senior horse girl also discovered some other information.

Simply put, the trainer there was someone who had previously worked at the Treson headquarters, and wasn't demoted for committing a crime or lacking ability; rather, they volunteered for the position.

According to the information investigated by the senior horse girl, the reason that person chose to go to the local Teresen was because he felt that the central Teresen was too dazzling, so much so that he overlooked the less talented horse girls in the local area.

He wasn't trying to criticize the injustice of the world or anything like that. He knew he lacked the ability and didn't know how to change the situation, so he wanted to go there in person to help those children.

He's a very nice person.

But the problem is, how do you connect him with the Black Forest and your birth, especially given the current situation...?

Shinji Kitahara believes that the trainer in that area might be the mastermind behind the Black Forest incident.

Moreover, his plan did not fail; on the contrary, it continued to advance through his own efforts.

After all, what he's doing now is trying to steer the situation in the direction the trainers there expect.

But if that's the case, what role does Hisato Kazuya play in all of this?

In particular, according to the investigation by the senior trainer, when the trainer was in Treisen, he was quite good friends with Hisadou, and they still keep in touch to this day...

Perhaps Hisato Kazuya isn't actually part of the 'black market,' but is simply cooperating with a friend's plan?

Or is the person from the remaining horse girl rights protection organization actually from the 'black market' and used the two of them?

Or perhaps all three of them are from the 'black market,' or maybe the 'black market' is full of such people?

More and more clues are emerging, but so are more and more doubts.

Before Kitahara Shinji could delve deeper into these situations, his senior, Uma-chan, immediately moved on to the second topic after explaining the situation.

"How are your preparations for the blind date going?"

"this......"

Upon hearing this topic, Shinji Kitahara's face turned green.

What does it matter if it's Kazuya Hisato, the Black Forest, or the local trainers? None of that matters anymore. The most important thing is to get by with this.

Otherwise, forget about any investigation; he might not even have a future.

Then, very strangely, Ma Niang, who usually hates being contradicted, became unusually kind on this topic and readily agreed to postpone the blind date.

But it's just a postponement; it's absolutely impossible not to go.

After finally managing to get rid of his senior, Ma Mu, Kitahara Shinji lost all interest in working or investigating anything.

After settling Eclipse into his dorm, he went out alone to a popular izakaya (Japanese pub) among the trainers outside the Treson campus.

He wasn't trying to drown his sorrows in alcohol.

He never drinks alcohol; he just wanted to get out and relax, and maybe grab a bite to eat.

And this izakaya has a high price range, so if he brought Eclipse here, he would probably go bankrupt immediately.

To his surprise, as soon as he went in, he ran into a familiar face who usually looked gloomy.

Surugawa Tezuna.

She sat alone in a secluded corner of the izakaya, with some food and low-alcohol drinks in front of her, her expression gloomy.

Unfortunately, when Shinji Kitahara arrived at the restaurant, all the tables were already occupied, and he would have to share a table if he wanted to sit down.

Besides Tsuna, there were other trainers that Shinji Kitahara knew, but some were sitting next to him and he was in charge of training, while others were just casual acquaintances. In the end, he could only sit at Tsuna's table.

"Trainer Kitahara?"

"Yes, it's me, Miss Junchuan. May I have a seat here?"

"of course."

Surugawa Tessuna smiled and nodded, then started chatting with Kitahara Shinji.

As they talked, the conversation naturally turned to the distress on Shinji Kitahara's face.

"Sigh, an elder arranged a blind date for me, but Miss Junchuan, you know how terrible blind dates are in Teresan..."

Shinji Kitahara originally just wanted to take the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark.

But to his surprise, Tsuna's expression changed after he finished speaking.

Shinji Kitahara blinked, vaguely realizing something.

"Miss Junchuan, you wouldn't happen to be one of them too..."

"......well."

Surugawa Tessuna sighed, tacitly agreeing with Kitahara Shinji's conjecture.

Although he was taken aback by Tsuna's tacit agreement, Kitahara Shinji quickly realized that it was not surprising at all.

After all, Tsuna has been working at Tressen for many years, but he is still single.

According to rumors, she has never been in a relationship and has never even had a boyfriend. She is now considered an older single woman, so it's no wonder her family is worried.

Moreover, it wasn't just her family; the chairman of the board, and even the students on campus, were worried about her.

If the Green Devil also gets married, wouldn't the risk of them being caught when they take trainers to the basement be greatly reduced?

Moreover, it is believed that with the nourishment of love, this menopausal old woman will no longer be so rigid, and the probability of her being locked up in solitary confinement will be greatly reduced.

Even many trainers, though not supportive, hoped that Ms. Junchuan could find a suitable lover.

After all, she has worked hard in Tressen for so many years and helped quite a few trainers. We can't just let her waste all her precious youth here, can we?

Unlike Kitahara Shinji, Surugawa Tezuna wasn't forced into blind dates; she was just constantly being pressured to get married.

In addition, I was already a bit irritable due to too much work recently. After being urged repeatedly, I instantly lost the will to continue working overtime, so I simply dumped the work on others and went out to relax by myself.

So, the two, who shared the same plight, looked at each other, and after a while, sighs rose and fell.

But before they could even sigh for long, another voice rang out.

"Trainer Kitahara? Miss Surugawa? What are you doing here?"

Rudolf, disguised, also entered the store, spotted the two, and then, partly out of curiosity and partly because there were no seats available, sat down at their table and started chatting.

Then, as they chatted, the conversation naturally drifted to their earlier sighs and lamentations, and then...

"Um, President Rudolf, you wouldn't happen to be one of them too...?"

Shinji Kitahara and Tessuna Surugawa exchanged a glance.

Rudolph, on the other hand, silently ate his food without replying.

However, the resentment emanating from him gradually increased.

Chapter 102: The Only Possibility

I never imagined that even Rudolf, the symbol of humanity, would encounter something like this...

After the brief get-together, although the situation remained unchanged, Shinji Kitahara felt much better.

It's like a student who didn't do their holiday homework going to school, feeling uneasy, only to find that the class monitor and the academic representative also didn't do it.

Although the outcome will probably not change, the sense of relief is still very obvious after knowing that you are no longer alone in your misfortune.

Moreover, according to Shinji Kitahara's prediction, the most unlucky one was not the three of them, but the unfortunate guy who was going to have a blind date with Rudolf.

She was a dangerous stallion girl, and she also had the blood of a family symbol on her body.

Plus, he was forced to go by his family, so he definitely wouldn't be in a good mood. Who knows, he might just have to show that unlucky guy what 'the emperor's divine power' really means.

And this is an optimistic estimate.

To put it in the worst-case scenario, what if she wasn't angry but instead took a liking to that unlucky guy? That would be truly disastrous; he might be dragged into the basement, the symbol of the main family, the very next day.

After silently offering three sticks of incense for the unfortunate fellow, Shinji Kitahara returned to his dormitory.

Pushing open the door, he was greeted by the bustling scene he had grown accustomed to over the past few days.

Special Week and Little Chestnut Hat were discussing various food-related topics on the sofa.

Aili Digital and Aili Suzi each had a laptop; the former was typing away, while the latter was holding a cup of red tea, seemingly reading some academic research materials.

Nechai wandered around the room, trying to find a place that could still be tidied up, or perhaps some other things.

As for Ms. Cao, she was sitting next to Eclipse, who was still lost in thought as usual, with her phone and various documents in her hand, dealing with work related to the Black Forest.

"Thank you for your hard work," Shinji Kitahara said.

"It's okay, I think it's quite fun and not too tiring."

Ms. Cao answered with a smile.

She was telling the truth.

Although she had no prior management experience, once she actually got to work, the feeling of organizing messy things surprisingly suited her well.

As for the difficulty of management, to be honest, it wasn't that high, even much lower than she had expected.

There are two reasons.

One of the reasons, of course, is her own various abilities.

The other one was that she offered those horse girls an irresistible price.

As a female leader who is well-versed in human nature, Grasshopper immediately saw through the true needs of the local young women after taking office.

Opportunities for ordinary horse girls to shine, strengthening security and communication—all of those are secondary. Their main reason for coming is the name Shinji Kitahara.

Perhaps in the future, once the Black Forest has grown larger and stronger and can truly play its role, the situation may change.

But so far, Black Forest is less a platform reflecting the demands of ordinary horse girls and more a fan club for Shinji Kitahara himself.

However, these two things are not contradictory, since Shinji Kitahara is indeed what they want.

Grasshopper took advantage of this, using his close access to Shinji Kitahara's firsthand information to easily grasp the thoughts of those little pony girls.

Especially since she has Aili Digital, a professional fan leader who knows a little bit about everything, assisting her in her work.

From news and merchandise to private photos, the collection is incredibly comprehensive, covering all the needs of those little horse girls.

However, this person was unaware of all this and was still marveling at Ms. Cao's remarkable abilities in handling everything so quickly, concluding that he had made the right choice in selecting her.

The reason why Aili Digital wasn't put in charge of this part is because Shinji Kitahara's ultimate goal was not to turn Black Forest into his own fan club.

Instead, they genuinely wanted to build a successful organization and create a platform for ordinary female fans to voice their opinions. Therefore, it couldn't be operated like a fan club, and naturally, it couldn't be handed over to Aili Digital.

After the two finished talking, Shinji Kitahara also sat down at the computer and began to handle work for Aili Digital while dealing with matters related to Black Forest.

After he sat down, Ms. Cao, considering that she might need to consult him on some issues later, also sat down next to him, intending to ask him directly when dealing with those issues.

Before she could even ask Shinji Kitahara the questions, Ms. Kusa suddenly realized that there seemed to be a mistake in her previous work, and most of the plan had to be scrapped and redone. So she flipped back to the document and her gaze gradually became focused.

Then, time slowly passed as the two of them worked diligently.

Then, I was interrupted by a strange sensation of something sweeping across my arm.
