I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

What the hell is this "tama"?!

Perhaps due to the difference in life forms, Zhou Ri Ningjing often sees things that ordinary people and horse girls cannot see.

Aura? Domain? Or soul?

She didn't know what it was either.

But the only thing she was certain of was that, whatever it was, the thing that this being called 'Eclipse' possessed was something that no other horse girl that Zhou Ri Ning had ever seen could compare to, or even be said to be something from a different dimension.

It was pitch black, oppressive, powerful, and even hinted at madness and distortion.

Unlike her excellent qualities, she seemed to be able to control those things very well, keeping them all within her body, so only Zhou Ri Ningjing, this anomaly, could perceive them.

But this is not the scariest thing.

The most terrifying thing is that, under the tranquil gaze of Sunday, the physical body of the eclipse was perfectly intact.

But from another perspective, there is a huge hole in the location of her heart.

The hole was about the size of a fist, with twisted and broken edges, as if some monster had used extremely cruel methods to rip out her heart.

Although it wasn't a heart in the real sense and wouldn't threaten her life, Zhou Ri Ning was certain that something was definitely wrong with this person.

Just as Zhou Ningjing was thinking this, Eclipse silently turned its head to her and spoke calmly.

"What's wrong? Am I weird?"

"No, no, it's just..."

On Sunday, Ning Jing answered subconsciously, then realized something was wrong, and a chill began to spread from her heart.

"Wait, can you see me?"

"Yes, I can see it. Shinji just told me, Miss Sunday Serenity, my name is Eclipse, it's nice to meet you."

The eclipse remained calm, its tone uneventful.

But Zhou Ri Ningjing, who was being watched by her, suddenly felt a tightness in her heart. A huge sense of crisis instantly enveloped her, as if she were a sheep being targeted by a ferocious beast, and could be pounced on and killed at any moment.

Just then, a clear, cold female voice suddenly rang in her ear.

'Little Eclipse doesn't want anyone to worry, so just pretend you didn't see anything, understand?'

When Zhou Ningjing heard the voice on Sunday, she was stunned for a moment. Although she didn't know what was going on, she still nodded subconsciously.

The sense of terror vanished instantly.

Shinji Kitahara, standing to the side, was unaware of what had just happened and did not sense any terrifying aura. He simply watched Eclipse and the Manchester Tea House interact with amusement, thinking to himself that Eclipse had indeed become much more cheerful since coming to Treson.

After they exchanged brief greetings, and after Zhou Ri Ning Jing returned to normal—at least superficially normal—she led the tea house and Zhou Ri Ning Jing into her dormitory.

Then, on Sunday, Ningjing's eyelids twitched.

One, two, three, four...

Excluding her and the teahouse, there were a total of seven horse girls in the room.

Although I had heard from Alice that there were eight horse girls in Kitahara Shinji's team before, and I had also seen Alice Digital and Necha, and noticed the strangeness on Necha.

She even remarked about this to the Manchester City tea house, saying that the team was really interesting, with only eight people in total, and three of them were like monsters.

But looking at it today...

These aren't just three monsters! They're all incredibly skilled!

As mentioned before, due to the special nature of her life form, she can see many things that are invisible to ordinary people and horse girls. Therefore, as soon as she entered the room, she immediately noticed the abnormality of these horse girls.

But this is not the most important.

Most importantly, according to Sunday's quiet observation, these monstrous horse girls, after Kitahara Shinji returned to the house, did not make any apparent moves, but the mark was locked onto him the moment he entered.

Zhou Ri Ningjing could figure out what this meant even with her tail between her legs, and her gaze unconsciously drifted to Kitahara Shinji.

Noticing her gaze, Shinji Kitahara turned around, his expression puzzled.

"what happened?"

"you......"

On Sunday, Ning Jing was about to say something when she suddenly remembered the voice that had just whispered in her ear. Her expression froze, and she swallowed her original words and changed her story.

"It's even more lively here than I expected..."

"It was indeed a bit noisy."

Shinji Kitahara glanced around the room, but showed no dissatisfaction or helplessness. Instead, he smiled with satisfaction.

"But they are all very good children. After they finish making a fuss, they will clean up their rooms themselves. They are also very obedient and sensible. There is no need to worry about them at all."

"Oh, is that so...?"

On Sunday, Ning Jing forced a smile.

Good boy...hehe...good boy...

Regardless of what she really thought, Zhou Ri Ning at least outwardly agreed with Kitahara Shinji, and spent some time afterward brushing the topic aside.

After discussing this topic, Shinji Kitahara didn't talk to her any further and sat back down at his computer to get back to work.

As for Sunday Ningjing, she stood silently for a while, then looked at the Manchester tea house where the Eclipse was getting along well, then at the other horse girls, and finally turned her gaze back to Kitahara Shinji, her expression gradually becoming distressed.

She finally had people to meet, and she even made new friends at the teahouse, but why couldn't she feel happy at all...?

After a long silence, Zhou Ri Ningjing looked at the man in front of her and sighed.

Forget it, let's put off contacting them for now.

It's not easy to meet someone who can not only see you, but even touch you. You can't just let him die like that. You have to find a way to save his life first before thinking about anything else.

Chapter 105: I'm coming right now

As the sun rises and sets, time flies by in the quiet routine, and two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

Despite having a bunch of horse girls in the house, and an invisible ghost wandering around, Shinji Kitahara's life remains largely unchanged.

I usually go to the training ground to practice standing meditation, help out with some work at Aili Digital, and assist Ms. Cao when I have free time.

When I had free time, I would rub Special Zhou, feed Little Chestnut Hat, regularly take care of Neicha, and even try out medicine for Alice a few times.

As for Manchester Tea House, they now appear at Kitahara Shinji's dormitory every day without fail, forming a meditation group with Eclipse and Grasshopper. The smiles on their faces are gradually increasing.

On the other hand, regarding the quiet Sunday, Shinji Kitahara thought that, given her personality, she would probably cause trouble, or at the very least, she would stick to him and make him touch her constantly.

But the reality was somewhat different from what he had imagined. Although it was clear that Zhou Ri Ning really wanted him to touch her, she had been surprisingly well-behaved these past few days.

He usually just stands by the Manchester tea house watching her interact with others. Occasionally, he'll sneak over and linger during his work breaks, behaving very obediently. She's a completely different person from when she's in the shade.

Shinji Kitahara could roughly guess some of the reasons for this, after all, Ning Jing had said on Sunday that she felt a rather terrifying aura from the eclipse, so it was normal for her to act a little nervous.

But speaking of horror...

While others weren't paying attention, Shinji Kitahara reached out and rubbed a black rice dumpling a few times as he passed by, wondering what was so scary about it.

Moreover, speaking of horror, Sunday Tranquility, the 'ghost' that ordinary people cannot see, is actually more terrifying. Even just standing in the house, the eerie feeling she brings can frighten ordinary horse girls.

But that only applies to 'ordinary horse girls'.

As for the few people in Kitahara Shinji's room...

A solar eclipse goes without saying.

Alice had known about the existence of 'friends' for a long time, but she was more curious about them.

As for Grasshopper, although she was a little unaccustomed to it at first, she always wanted to touch the naginata when Sunday tranquility approached.

However, after Shinji Kitahara and Manchester Tea House helped explain, she quickly returned to normal and was even able to chat with Zhou Rijing with the help of Manchester Tea House.

As for Aili Digital, although she was a little scared at first, after hearing that the other party was a horse girl, the offense and defense were instantly reversed, and it was Zhou Ri Ning Ning who was hiding from Aili Digital with a look of horror on her face.

As for Oguri hat...

After Xiao Lima unconsciously said, "I'm curious what ghosts taste like, I wonder if they're tasty," Zhou Ri Ning started avoiding her, feeling incredibly fortunate that it wasn't her who bumped into her.

The remaining two, especially Zhou and Neqia, were somewhat afraid of ghosts.

But after discovering that they could use this as an excuse to get closer to Shinji Kitahara, and that even Necha was now using this excuse to get into Shinji Kitahara's small private room, their fear instantly turned into gratitude.

A ghost? What ghost? That's my benefactor!

As a result, the girls in Kitahara Shinji's house easily accepted Sunday's tranquility and quickly became friends with the Manchester tea house.

After all, unlike Zhou Ri Ningjing, although Manchester Tea House looks exactly like her and imitates her style of dress, the two have completely different personalities.

Zhou Ningjing is the kind of person who is outgoing and carefree, and because of her past experiences, her moral standards and values ​​are somewhat different from those of ordinary people.

After getting to know Shinji Kitahara and discovering that Eclipse didn't mind their physical contact at all, she even once took Shinji Kitahara's hand and brought it to her chest, admitting that she wanted to see if ghosts would feel that way.

Then Shinji Kitahara decisively rejected him.

Although the other party is a ghost and seems to have no morals, she is still a horse girl, and she looks exactly like the Manchester tea house, and the tea house is right there watching, so he wouldn't do such a thing.

The people at the Manchester tea house, on the other hand, tend to be more introverted and shy.

She is not very good at communicating, and her words and actions are usually a bit timid. She is obedient, sensible and well-behaved, and never does anything out of line. It is only because Zhou Ri Ningjing has always been by her side that she has not been able to make many friends.

Now that Zhou Ningjing has been accepted by Shinji Kitahara's team, she can naturally interact and communicate with other female riders normally, and they gradually become friends.

Daily training is progressing smoothly and on track, preparations for the Black Forest tournament are going well, and even Manchester City's Tea Party and Sunday's Tranquility have successfully integrated into the team...

Everything was going very smoothly, and Shinji Kitahara should be happy right now.

But now, let alone happy, the melancholy on his face was so intense it was almost overflowing.

As for the reason for his melancholy...

The room was filled with the rich scent of horse fowl, and a group of vibrant young girls in pajamas were swaying around in front of me.

And there are various kinds of contact from time to time, including but not limited to hugging, close care, tail wrapping, and Necha sleeping next to him at night under the pretext of being afraid of ghosts...

Shinji Kitahara is feeling immense pressure right now, and even intense exercise and acupressure can't help him.

If he hadn't later discovered that the eerie aura emanating from Zhou Ri Ning effectively suppressed certain emotions within him, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on last week.

The problem is that as he spends more time with Sunday tranquility, not only is the eerie feeling fading, but Sunday tranquility's various actions are also directly raising his blood pressure to the limit.

In short, he was struggling to hold on, and there were several times when his physical reactions were almost discovered by others.

Eclipse, who had been following him closely, naturally noticed his unusual behavior and quickly realized the problem, and then...

"Do you need me to help you with this?"

Her expression was calm, but her tone was serious.

"We smell a lot alike, so as long as we keep it clean, no one else will notice."

"...No, I'll figure out a solution myself."

Shinji Kitahara gave a very difficult answer.

After all, he wasn't some saint without desires; rather, he was a young man in the prime of his life, full of vigor and passion, so it was perfectly normal for him to have certain desires.

He had been using various methods to vent and relieve his emotions in a reasonable way, so he seemed to have no desires.

However, excessive stimulation can no longer be resolved through reasonable venting.

And given that the eclipse's appearance was absolutely outstanding, and he was so proactive, it would be impossible for him not to have any thoughts in his mind at all.

But as I said before, he considers Eclipse as family and doesn't really want to ruin their relationship right now.

And another very important point is that Eclipse has not yet reached the standard age of adulthood in this world (20), and is also quite far from the adulthood he remembers (18)...

Well, he doesn't even know how old Eclipse is now.

After all, he had found her, and even she herself didn't know her age; she just filled in a random number when registering.

Moreover, Treson's age limit for certain things isn't very strict.

After all, although the legal age of adulthood is 20, the problem is that the legal marriage age for women in Japan is 16, and married life is perfectly legal and permissible.

Given this prevailing opinion, it's even less likely that Treson would adhere to the 20-year-old age limit.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that on the second day of strict enforcement, 90% of the trainers would have to go in, and then the remaining students would directly rebel, and on the third day, Treson would be reduced to ruins.

But the problem is that Shinji Kitahara can't get over his own mental hurdle.

While you might not be twenty, you should at least be eighteen, right?
