I'm in Teresin, dedicated to playing badly

The eclipse is currently registered at the age of seventeen, a few months away from turning eighteen.

Even Shinji Kitahara himself, although officially registered as twenty-one, was well aware that he was actually under twenty years old, and even drinking alcohol was illegal...

All I can say is that this kind of thing is definitely not going to work right now.

After rejecting the eclipse, Shinji Kitahara fell into melancholy again and began to seriously consider how to solve the problem.

After all, this can't go on forever. It's not just embarrassing; suppressing it all the time is also bad for your health. And if you end up in the infirmary because of this, it will be even more embarrassing.

The problem is that he really has no experience in this area.

After all, he used to live a life of constant wandering, and every day before he closed his eyes, his mind was filled with thoughts of where to go to scavenge food for the eclipse, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he had to start taking action.

Working yourself to the bone every day, expending a huge amount of physical energy, it's hard to have any other thoughts in your mind, so naturally you won't have any worries in this regard.

But now, he doesn't need to travel around anymore. He eats well and sleeps soundly every day, and he's surrounded by fully grown female horses. As for exercise, if he doesn't actively increase his training, he has plenty of stamina left, and then naturally...

But it's okay.

Shinji Kitahara took out his phone and opened the trainers' group chat.

In fact, he was not the only one in Treson Academy who had this problem. Basically, anyone who had a normal or abnormal relationship with their partner but had not yet reached that stage would have this problem.

And don't assume that this problem is exclusive to male trainers.

Within Treson, female trainers, due to their gender, are able to get closer to their assigned roles. In addition, their bodies are naturally weaker than men's, resulting in a significantly higher rate of being jumped off, injured, and leaving the company compared to male trainers.

Horse girls are naturally inclined to be close to and trust humans, but they have never limited this closeness and trust to any particular gender.

Therefore, how to properly manage one's own desires and responsibilities in that area has become a long-standing topic among Treson trainers.

Although people generally don't discuss this in group chats due to its nature, trainers who are close friends will usually talk about it privately.

After all, nobody wants to end up in the hospital with a fractured pelvis, right?

So Shinji Kitahara decided to consult his seniors about what to do about this.

As for the trainers who are currently quite familiar with Shinji Kitahara...

The three main characters: Taishi Miyuki, Yosuke Higashimori, Daichi Futo, Komata, Hideaki Nishiguchi, and...

Kudo Kazuya.

Among them, the three heroes gave up first, after all, this was a typical case of failure.

Not to mention it's currently the summer training camp period; he's lucky to be alive, so let's not add fuel to the fire.

Futo Daichi's situation wasn't as serious as his, but he and his partner had also gotten together and decided to get married after his partner graduated. The two of them would then raise the other female horses in the team like their own daughters.

Shinji Kitahara also asked about Yosuke Higashimori's words.

The reply he received was that he simply relieved himself in his dorm room, and that his spellcasting materials had previously been dug up by the person in charge, so their relationship was currently awkward and he couldn't help him...

Surely we can't ask Hisato Kazuya for help?

Although this guy should indeed be very experienced in this area and should be the most suitable candidate.

However, the problem was that Shinji Kitahara was still unsure of his true nature, and after thinking about it, he decided not to proactively hand over such leverage to the other party.

Then, Shinji Kitahara's gaze fell on Mataichi's profile picture, and his expression gradually became conflicted.

If he had a choice, he would never want to talk about this topic with the female trainer, but the problem is that he really has no choice.

Moreover, although Xiao Youyi does look a bit young, she actually has a very cheerful personality and can indeed talk about these kinds of issues quite well.

Furthermore, and very importantly, he is now very close to Xiao Youyi.

The reason was that I filled in for someone else before.

Although after nearly a week of filling in for someone, Xiao Youyi had a general idea of ​​how terrifying this team was, and her legs were trembling a little when she left.

But precisely because of this, she, a human, is under so much pressure here, so it's even less likely that the Super Small Bay will come after her to persecute her.

Children's clothing, baby bottles, lullabies, strollers...

On one side is a terrifying mother demon, and on the other side is a team in a bizarre environment.

After a brief consideration, Xiaoyouyi chose the latter.

After all, this place is indeed eerie, but the eeriness isn't directed at her. She only comes here occasionally to seek refuge, so naturally there's no problem.

Moreover, although Koyoichi had never had any contact with Shinji Kitahara before, he had heard a lot of rumors about him from other trainers.

Knowing that he was quite skilled as a trainer, he would occasionally come over under the guise of exchanging ideas to seek refuge, and over time they gradually became acquainted.

Moreover, although he looks a bit young, Koya is indeed several years older than Kitahara Shinji.

Having worked in Treisena for more than a year or two, he's a seasoned and knowledgeable senior, so he should be familiar with these issues and able to answer his questions.

So, after much deliberation, Shinji Kitahara clicked on Mataichi's profile picture, and after confirming that she was online, he asked her about this matter in a subtle way.

Then......

[Xiao Youyi: So you mean you have problems in that area?]

[Xiao Youyi: Don't be so reserved. I've been in Tressen for so many years, and I've seen pelvic fractures more than once or twice, let alone this kind of problem.]

[Xiao Youyi: As for the solution...]

[Xiao Youyi: I haven't had this kind of problem, and I'm not a male trainer, but you can look back at the chat history, because I remember a few unfortunate guys with fractured pelvises were talking about this just a few days ago.]

[Xiao Youyi: I'll send you the content of their discussion later, and I can also tell you some methods that trainers use to solve this problem that I know of. It doesn't matter.]

[Xiao Youyi: You can ask me any questions you have in the future, don't be shy. After all, you've taken good care of me recently, so consider this a return gift.]

[Shinji Kitahara: Thank you for your help, senpai]

[Xiao Youyi: What's with the thanks? I already said it was a return gift.]

[Koyoichi: Oh, by the way, Trainer Kitahara, are you free right now?]

[Shinji Kitahara: You're free? What's up?]

[Xiao Youyi: It seems like Tamamo-no-Mae is having some trouble, and I don't know what to do. I heard you used to know her, so I wonder if you could come and help take a look...]

[Shinji Kitahara: Okay, no problem, I'll be right there]

And since many readers in the book review section have been asking for the group number, I'll add it here.

Group name: Dibao Miaomiao House

Group number: 752605639

Answer: The person is in Tressen.

Chapter 106: But he called me "senior"!

Speaking of Tamamo Cross, he's an old acquaintance of Shinji Kitahara.

Like most of the horse girls that Shinji Kitahara encountered, Tamamo Cross was also a country girl, and like Oguri Hat, she was promoted from the local Teresa to the headquarters.

However, unlike Oguri Hat, Kitahara Shinji's friendship with Tamamo Cross was not as deep.

We only helped each other out and then parted ways. We didn't spend more than a few days together, and we never had any contact after that. We were just casual friends.

Even so, Shinji Kitahara had a deeper impression of Tamamo Cross than of the other horse girls.

The reason is very simple: the Tamamo Cross family is simply too poor.

The countryside itself is not a wealthy area, and the Tamamo Cross family is considered quite poor even in the countryside.

To what extent is this "not wealthy"?

To put it simply, after Shinji Kitahara came to help, he didn't even take the three carrots hanging on her door, and even left some food that he had previously received from helping other families.

And being poor isn't the worst thing.

The most crucial thing is that such a poor family gave birth to a horse girl with exceptional talent, Tamamo Cross.

This sounds strange, after all, a horse girl with such exceptional talent should be the opportunity to change this family's predicament.

After all, top racehorse girls can earn huge sums of money by winning a single race, enough to lift a family out of poverty in an instant.

But that's on the premise that Tamamo Cross can grow to that level.

Just like Shinji Kitahara and Hibi Kusakami said two weeks ago, horse racing is an extremely expensive sport.

Training equipment, food expenses, wear and tear on clothes and shoes...

These all cost money.

Especially for the most talented female horses, to fully unleash their potential, they need more advanced equipment, more nutritious meals, and matching clothes, shoes, horseshoes, and even winning outfits...

But for families in Tamamo Crossroads, let alone these things, even basic necessities like food and clothing are a problem.

When Shinji Kitahara visited her home, he realized that the family's biggest problem was poverty, but he was completely helpless in dealing with it.

After all, he himself was still worried about the cost of food during the solar eclipse, let alone solving the problem of food and clothing for others.

In the end, after resolving the issue they had sought help from, we could only leave them some food and then leave.

And because of this, despite her superior talent, Tamamo Cross could only obtain admission to the local Teresen school due to her family's poverty and her best efforts.

Then, after enrolling in the local Treson campus, although the conditions there were vastly different from those at the main campus, they were still far better than what her family could provide, giving her the opportunity to showcase herself.

Ultimately, through her own efforts, she was able to gain the qualification to be promoted to the Treson headquarters.

The problem is that even though she has entered the Treson headquarters, due to the formalization of the era, she and Oguri Hat are in the same year, and she will not be able to run her debut race until next semester. She has not yet earned any race income.

Even if she earns income from the competition, the marks left by the poverty of the past still remain on her.

"Compared to normal female horses, their appetite is too small, resulting in stunted growth due to malnutrition, and there are various problems and hidden dangers left over from long-term use of inferior shoes and equipment for training..."

Koyaichi, after all, didn't have Kitahara Shinji's eye for detail, and having just taken over Tamamo Cross, he hadn't been able to see too many problems yet. He just felt that Tamamo Cross's condition wasn't quite right, so he asked Kitahara Shinji, who had known Tamamo Cross before and was also a wish-granting machine for horses, to help him check it out.

As for Shinji Kitahara, based on his past understanding and current insight, he only needed to glance at Tamamo Cross, who was training, to confirm the problem with her after arriving at the scene.

But that's not all.

According to Xiaoyouyi's description, Tamamo Cross has not been in a good mental state lately.

In the past, her family had taken out some debts to support her running errands.

Although the village where she lived had a good atmosphere because of the presence of the three goddesses, the money she borrowed was not from usurers, but from nearby villagers.

Moreover, the other party did not urge us to pay or ask for interest. They said that it would be fine to pay back the money after the Tamamo Cross competition when they made a lot of money. At worst, they would treat everyone to a few more meals as an apology.

The problem is that Tamamo Cross's parents are very honest people. Although none of their fellow villagers are pressing for repayment, for honest people, not repaying debts is enough to make their conscience uneasy.

Although Tamamo Cross's parents never complained to her about this, how could Tamamo Cross, who was precocious and sensible from a young age due to poverty, not know about her parents' situation?

The thought that she was already in this state, and still had to ask her parents for money to buy various training clothes and shoes, made her feel sad, and even her training was affected.

“I have tried to do something for that child, and I have already helped her apply for poverty subsidies from the chairman.”

"But as you, Trainer Kitahara, should also know, for a racehorse girl with top-notch talent like her to perfectly unleash her potential, the amount of funding required is far beyond what a poverty subsidy can cover..."

If possible, Xiaoyou even wanted to pay out of her own pocket to buy all sorts of things for Tamamo Cross, and then pay her back with the prize money after she won the race.

The problem is that although Xiao Youyi has been in Tressen for several years, he was just an assistant trainer for the first few years, earning only a basic salary.

Currently, she's just an ordinary random horse girl. Although she's been in the industry for two years, she mainly participates in OP-level races, with few wins and low prize money. She basically sends all the prize money home and can't support Tamamo Cross much.

However, when Koyoichi told Kitahara Shinji these things, it wasn't because she wanted him to help solve these problems; it was simply like venting to a friend about the difficulties she was encountering at work.

But after listening, Shinji Kitahara pinched his chin and began to think seriously.

To be honest, he actually quite liked Tamamo Cross, and even before joining Treson, he had included her on his shortlist of potential candidates.

Because she is also the kind of horse girl who is very safe, and the reason for her safety is different from that of Special Week and Oguri Hat's sillyness, and it can be summarized in one sentence.

She is a normal person.

Even normal people who are too normal.

She would complain about why the cafeteria was still self-service despite having big eaters like Oguri Hat and Special Week.

They might also be surprised by the strange atmosphere at Treson College, exclaiming, "Is this some kind of matchmaking agency?"

He even criticized Rudolf's bizarre habit of telling corny jokes.

If it weren't for the fact that having Tamamo Cross in the team would easily attract Super Small Bay, Shinji Kitahara would have even considered including her in the official candidate list.
