The mediocre trainer doesn't want to reopen

And now, Kitano has become the envy of thousands of men. For a while, many people passing by were attracted by the scene of Good Opera and Kitano kissing.

"Ah, I'm so envious. He can actually date a horse girl. This guy is so lucky!"

"I'm so jealous."

"Speaking of which... that horse girl he was kissing seemed so beautiful, and she seemed so strong."

"Why does it feel a little familiar? It seems to be..."

However, it seemed that someone had vaguely recognized Good Opera - after all, Good Opera was the "King" who had long since completed his journey. Although some time had passed, no one had forgotten the achievements of this horse girl who was a seven-time champion like Ludo.

But... perhaps it was precisely because Good Opera was so much like her that everyone now did not think that she would really be Good Opera. After all, with Good Opera's previous personality, no one had ever thought that she would do such a thing.

Therefore, most people just sighed a few times and then walked away. It was unknown how long it took before Good Opera finally ended her kiss with the man she loved deeply. After a long time, she finally let go of her hands that were holding Kitano's cheeks, and soon, they saw each other's faces again.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness."

"Now, all the 'debt' you owed to Overlord is now paid off."

At this point, a gentle smile appeared on Good Opera's lips that Kitano felt was familiar - that was the smile of Good Opera when he shed his "overlord" appearance and revealed his true self in his heart.

Of course, good opera isn't something that's inherently exaggerated. She wasn't born into a wealthy family. Although her lineage, if you trace it back to the Ajima clan, is still a sought-after and prestigious family in Europe, in Japan, the Ajima clan of operatic talent is relegated to mediocrity.

Therefore, the family of a good opera singer was not considered good, and there was no opera house or anything like that in her family. She was just born in an ordinary family, and happened to awaken the blood advantage of the saddler well line. No one knew that she would become a seven-time champion in the future.

Good Opera was just an ordinary chestnut-haired horse girl at the beginning. Even when she entered Tresen Academy, her exaggerated personality had not yet been fully formed.

What laid the foundation for the opera's current confidence, which can be described as "blind", is the victory after victory. More and more supporters have made her more and more confident in herself. In order to resist external pressure, she has repeatedly strengthened her self-confidence and exaggerated personality.

But after a good opera peels back the layers of your heart like an onion, what remains is still the confused, ordinary yet attention-seeking chestnut-haired Umamu.

And the only person who knew this side of her from beginning to end, apart from her parents and relatives, was only one person...who had also seen this side of good opera.

"This time, all debts, both past and present, have been paid off."

"Good opera?"

Good Opera's words immediately made Kitano realize why Good Opera would do such an extreme thing.

And in an instant, Kitano's gaze at the good opera became complicated, filled with various emotions... but in the end, he still stayed at the sadness that he didn't know how to face.

"Good opera, did you think of anything, or dream about it?"

"Nothing, my trainer."

The change in address from Good Opera also indicated that the person sitting next to Kitano was not "The Overlord," but the Uma Musume named Good Opera. Although she had previously addressed Kitano as "Minister" in public, she now addressed him as "Your Highness the Princess."

However, in the past, when Good Opera and Kitano were alone, Good Opera would always address Kitano as nothing more than the simplest "trainer."

Although simple, it has extremely representative meaning in the hearts of good opera lovers - because she never called anyone else "trainer".

In her heart, there has always been only one person who is worthy of being called this.

At this moment, Hao Opera leaned slightly on Kitano's shoulder, and the aura that belonged to the "Overlord" that she always exuded seemed to have dissipated at this moment.

The person leaning on Kitano's shoulder now is just an ordinary horse racing girl, but this is an act of extraordinary significance for a good opera.

"I just suddenly remembered... I once waited for someone. I waited until everyone had forgotten him, and I was still waiting."

"I waited for seventeen years. In the end, he still didn't come back."

"!" However, Good Opera's words made Kitano slightly stunned, but he immediately reacted. He looked at Good Opera beside him with a shocked expression and couldn't help asking: "Good Opera... Are you saying that you waited for me for seventeen years? In, in the past?"

"No, that's impossible, Mingming, as long as I..."

"As long as I know you're dead, everything will become a thing of the past."

Good Opera naturally knew what Kitano wanted to say. However, she looked directly at Kitano's slightly surprised eyes and smiled softly, saying, "Yes... As long as I accept your death, I can forget all the pain."

"But...as long as I don't believe it, none of this will end. As long as I still remember you and believe you're alive, I won't forget all this."

"Good opera..."

However, when the good opera really was just as Kitano imagined, relying on this method to support it for seventeen years, Kitano swallowed all the words back into his stomach, and finally, turned into a long sigh.

"Is it too late to apologize now? Will you forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye, good opera?"

“Why forgive?”

However, Good Opera's words immediately made Kitano's heart sink. But before Kitano could react, Good Opera gently took Kitano's hand, her tone overflowing with unconcealable happiness. She whispered, "You are the gift given to me by the three goddesses. You created me and made me the one and only 'End of the Century Overlord' in this world. Everything I have... is given to me by you."

"I have never blamed you, Trainer. Ever since you told me without any reason that I could become the Overlord of the Century, everything I have has belonged to you."

"And if the three goddesses want to take you back, what can I blame? Everything I have was brought by you, and now they want to take this gift away from me, how can I not give it to them?"

"I'm just glad that I didn't end up with nothing. My feelings, my experiences... and most importantly, my love for you, I've kept all of them."

"That's enough, Trainer. That's all enough."

Having said this, Good Opera slowly raised her head. At this moment, there were a few crystal clear tears in her pink eyes. There was no confidence on her face anymore. There was only a chestnut-haired horse girl expressing her timid love to the one she loved.

"Trainer, you've transformed an ordinary chestnut-haired horse girl into a true fin-de-siècle overlord. You don't even need to hold your head high to meet me. You're the one I should hold my head high to meet."

"Now I can become a 'King' myself. I have never forgotten everything you have given me."

"And now, I only have one wish left... and that is to express this love to you as well."

"I hope you can accept... the long-overdue love from the horse girl named "Good Opera."

As he said this, Good Opera's hands were grasped with Kitano's hands. At this moment, facing the man in front of him who had cast off all the cloak of confidence, just like when he first met that ordinary but strong Good Opera, Kitano was still the same as before, without any hesitation or doubt.

This time, he also grasped Good Opera's hand. After a long moment, he softly said, "I accept everything about you, Good Opera. No matter what you become, I will accept you. I just hope I still have the qualifications."

"I just hope that I can be qualified."

Good Opera also had tears in her eyes. When Kitano grabbed her hand again as when they first met, Good Opera finally couldn't hold back the impulse in her heart and hugged Kitano.

"Hold me, Trainer...I'm so cold."

"This time, I finally found you. No matter how many times I have to do it again, I will find you."

"I believe you, Good Opera, I believe you." Kitano also hugged Good Opera and patted her back gently, allowing the horse girl who had been waiting for him for so long to express her feelings at this moment.

On the other side, Kusagami Tobi witnessed all this. Although there was glass between them and even Uma Musume could not hear their conversation clearly, when Kitano and Opera kissed and hugged each other, Kusagami Tobi understood everything.

It seems that I have no chance at all.

But why... do I feel so unwilling?

At this moment, Cao Shangfei lowered her head slightly and grabbed her arms tightly. However, even the pain of her nails digging into her flesh could not contain the pain in her heart at this moment.

She wanted to forget, wanted to pretend that she had never seen all this, but unfortunately the facts were right in front of her, and even if she didn't want to accept it, she had to accept it.

Chapter 305: Holy King Halo: Are you going to take down all the members of the "Golden Generation" by yourself?

No one mentioned what happened to Good Opera and Kitano on the way back. Both the two parties involved and Kusanagi Fei, who witnessed it all, were extremely silent on the tram on the way back.

On the tram, Hao Opera sat next to Kitano, leaning lightly on his shoulder as if she was asleep. Her breathing was even and her expression was relaxed. The only thing that caught people's attention was that her arms were unconsciously holding Kitano's hand.

Meanwhile, Cao Shangfei and Qingyun Tiankong were relatively silent. Qingyun Tiankong had been very excited after shopping, but upon seeing Cao Shangfei's sudden gloomy expression, he couldn't help but shut up.

Could it be that... Xing-chan, what I said earlier was too harsh? Did it hurt Xiaocao's feelings?

Qingyun Tiankong couldn't help but think of what she said to Cao Shangfei in the lingerie store, and she couldn't help feeling guilty - after all, she knew very well that Xiaocao had been helping her from the beginning, from helping her join the team to now, and had been taking care of her.

But before that, she asked Xiaocao not to meddle in her affairs - didn't this hurt Xiaocao too much?

To be honest, Qingyun Tiankong regretted it the moment he said that, but now facing Cao Shangfei who was in a depressed mood and had a gloomy expression, Qingyun Tiankong didn't know how to apologize to her.

Fortunately, Qingyun Tiankong had no idea what Cao Shangfei had seen that had caused him to be in this state. This was probably an example of "ignorance is bliss." If Qingyun Tiankong knew what Cao Shangfei had seen, she would probably be even more devastated than Cao Shangfei.

This atmosphere persisted until the group returned to Tresen College, where Cao Shangfei's dejected mood finally seemed to improve. Kitano first went to the Student Union to report to Rudolph, the Student Union President, on the recent team arrangements. The situation of each team was something the Student Union President needed to keep an eye on.

Of course, regarding the matter of Aldan and the good opera... Kitano also needs to discuss it with Rudolph indirectly, wanting to give her a shot of prevention and see how she reacts.

Kitano went to the student union, Qingyun Tiankong was going back to the dormitory, but Cao Shangfei went to the team room relying on muscle memory, even though she didn't know why she had to go back to the team room.

When Cao Shangfei returned to the team room, he discovered that the door of the team room, which had become unusable for some unknown reason, had been replaced with a new one - it was even unlocked by fingerprint.

Cao Shangfei was slightly stunned and tried to touch it with his fingerprint. As expected, because Cao Shangfei's fingerprint was not stored, the door did not open. Instead, a sharp sound was heard.

"Who is it?" The voice of Saint King Halo soon sounded, and soon the door of the team room opened, and the eyes of Saint King and Cao Shangfei quickly met.

"Ah, Xiaocao, you're back, why didn't you call us?"

"The door to the team room has been replaced. I asked them to choose a fingerprint unlocking system, which is much more convenient. The quality of this door is very good. I can guarantee that even a horse girl can hardly kick it in. I feel much more at ease now."

"Ah, come on in quickly, Xiaocao. We've all watched the replay of your performance. It was really hard for you to win, but it was a great win."

The Saint King naturally assumed the role of hostess of the room and allowed Cao Shangfei to enter the team room. At this moment, Cao Shangfei, who had not returned to the team room that day, remained silent and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"I've only been away for one day. I didn't feel it before, but now that I'm back here... I feel so relaxed." Cao Shangfei couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Really? Maybe we've been here too long?"

The Holy King also handed Cao Shangfei a cup of coffee. Cao Shangfei took it and was about to thank him when he found that the Holy King also had a cup of coffee in his hand... and the styles of the two coffee cups were similar.

Is this a couple's cup? Cao Shangfei also noticed this for the first time. He subconsciously looked at the coffee cup in his hand and asked, "Shengwang classmate... this coffee cup seems to be the one that Trainer Sang has always used, right?"

"Hmm? Ah, yes." The Holy King was slightly stunned when he heard this, not knowing why Cao Shangfei suddenly asked this.

"No... I just noticed for the first time that this coffee cup is a couple's version."

Seeing Sheng Wang's completely unconcerned look, Cao Shangfei couldn't help but show a bit of worry. Looking at the cup of scalding hot coffee in his hand, he murmured, "Mr. Sheng Wang, don't you care? Using a couple's cup like this with Trainer-san..."

"Care? Ah, are you asking about using the wrong cup?"

The Saint King suddenly understood what was going on, but he still smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, that guy and I have used the cup incorrectly countless times, but we always clean it well, so there will definitely be no residue on it. Feel free to use it, Xiaocao."

"By the way, I heard from that guy this time that you guys went to the hot springs? And Xiaocao, it seems like there's something wrong with your leg? Is everything okay?"

"It's okay. Trainer-san took us to the hot springs, and my training will slow down for the next period of time."

Cao Shangfei also shook her head, holding the coffee cup with both hands and took a sip. However, the sorrow and worry on her face were all seen by the Holy King.

This... doesn't look like everything's fine, does it? The Holy King blinked, staring at Cao Shangfei's dejected expression. This expression wasn't much better than thinking she'd never be able to run again—but the Holy King knew that if Cao Shangfei really couldn't run anymore, she wouldn't be so distressed, because the only one who would be more distressed would be Beiye.

But when Kitano came back this time, he did not accompany Cao Shangfei. Obviously, he did not know the reason for Cao Shangfei's sorrow. It can also be ruled out that Cao Shangfei was feeling so uncomfortable because of his leg injury... Then what was the reason?

"What happened, Xiaocao?"

"What happened to you? Did anything happen in that hot spring that made you feel uncomfortable?"

Saint King keenly sensed that Cao Shangfei's behavior was undoubtedly linked to that philandering fellow. However, she still intended to gradually resolve her friend's situation, asking gently, "Or... is there something bothering you? It's okay. If that guy bullies you, just tell me and I'll teach him a lesson for you."

"Student Sheng Wang, there is something I want to ask you."

However, at this moment, Cao Shangfei seemed unable to hide the strange movement in her heart. She raised her head and looked at the Saint King's aura in front of her. Finally, unable to resist the impulse in her heart, she asked, "Classmate Saint King, although it may be a bit abrupt, but... do you like Trainer Sang?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

The Holy King hadn't expected Cao Shangfei to utter such a sentence after holding it in for so long. And as soon as Cao Shangfei said this, the Holy King's aura already knew what had happened.

As expected! That philandering guy! He even didn't let Xiaocao go! When Saint King Halo thought of this, she felt a little indignant. Although she and Beiye had agreed not to be jealous of each other because of their interpersonal relationships, Xiaocao was her good friend!

What kind of trainer would attack their best friend?! Thinking of this, the Holy King's eyes radiated a dark aura, and he became even more determined about his future "punishment plan" for Kitano.

However, even so, the Saint King still insisted on helping Cao Shangfei solve his problems, and said gently, "If I say I don't like that guy, I'm lying."

"But, my feelings for him are different, Xiaocao. I simply like the feeling of being around him. I don't intend to possess him."

"I don't care who that guy is with, or who likes him. I just want to be by his side and can't leave him."

"Then, does the Holy King not care at all?" Cao Shangfei was a little nervous when he heard this. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous about the Holy King's lack of concern for Kitano's interpersonal relationships. But for some reason, his tone was full of anticipation as he asked, "Even if, Trainer-san... is liked by several people at the same time..."

"what?"

However, the Holy King was slightly stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously put down the cup in his hand. He couldn't help but frown, always feeling that there was something else in Cao Shangfei's words.

The Holy King knew about the relationship between Aldan and Kitano, but he was not jealous of their relationship. Instead, it was because of Kitano's words to Aldan, "You are the most important person to me," that made the Holy King lose control of his emotions.

After all, in the Holy King's heart, Kitano is the most important person to her, but now the most important person in Kitano's heart is not her, so it is inevitable that the Holy King is angry.

But what Cao Shangfei meant just now was... being liked by multiple people? If Cao Shangfei herself liked that guy, then shouldn't she be asking her if she could accept that guy liking multiple people at the same time?

So...it wasn't Xiaocao and that guy who had something happen to them? It was someone else?

"Xiaocao, tell me what you know quickly."

"Actually, before I came back, I went to a local lingerie store with Xing-chan, but at that time, I saw Trainer-san and Good Opera-senpai."

Cao Shangfei also found it difficult to speak, so he used a subtle tone to tell the Holy King Halo in front of him about his troubled situation.

"I saw...Good Opera-senpai forcefully kissing Trainer-san. I didn't hear what they said, but from the looks of them, it seemed like they confessed their love to each other."

"..." However, Cao Shangfei's words made Saint King Halo stunned for a moment, and it took a long time for him to react.
