Half an hour later, at a coffee shop.
Kitahara Shinji calmly narrated the whole story to Symboli Rudolf and Hayakawa Tazuna, and then quickly received their understanding.
After all, Symboli Rudolf and Hayakawa Tazuna had just been urged to marry today, and had met while they were out to clear their minds, so they could very well understand Koyoi's situation.
As for Koyoi, her words were originally subconscious words when she was flustered. After being startled by the appearance of the two, she didn't dare to mention it again.
After that, the four who were being urged to marry gathered together, sighed and complained for a long time. After lunch, after relieving the depression in their hearts, they returned to Tracen Academy in batches.
However, after returning, everyone's performance was different.
As for Koyoi, she went straight back to her dormitory, locked the door, then threw herself onto the bed, hugged a pillow, and rolled around on the bed with a red face, it was unknown what she was thinking.
As for Hayakawa Tazuna, after learning that besides herself, there was another unlucky person who was also being urged to marry like this.
And had even come up with the desperate measure of a fake boyfriend, her mood immediately improved a lot, and then she threw herself back into her work.
As for Symboli Rudolf, after returning to the student council room and finishing the work on hand, she tapped her index finger on the desk, thinking about the conversation at noon, a strange look flashing in her eyes.
A fake boyfriend...
Of course, Symboli Rudolf knew that this was just a desperate measure. Even if it could handle the present, it would only make the situation more awkward later.
It was just that her situation was slightly different.
Speed Symboli, that old woman, knew her temper well, so she must have known that even if she went on such a forced blind date, there would definitely be no result.
So although Speed Symboli had mentioned this matter over and over again, Symboli Rudolf still didn't believe that she was sincerely trying to introduce her to someone. She was most likely just trying to take this opportunity to disgust her.
Before, she had no way to deal with this disgust, but now, after hearing about Koyoi asking Kitahara Shinji to pretend to be her boyfriend, a wonderful idea was born in Symboli Rudolf's mind.
Well, think about it. According to her previous inference, Kitahara Shinji should be her cousin, and the kind with a blood relationship.
Then if she told Speed Symboli that she and Kitahara Shinji had that kind of relationship, then with that old woman's malicious personality, she would definitely want to see a joke, right?
And with Kitahara Shinji as a shield, she could justifiably turn down that blind date.
Then Speed Symboli, because she was thinking of seeing her joke, would most likely agree to this matter.
Then, when the time was right, when Speed Symboli wanted to come over to reveal the mystery and mock her, she could then reveal everything, and wouldn't she be able to turn around and see Speed Symboli's joke?
And this plan was also quite feasible.
Because recently, because of Tokai Teio's matter, plus wanting to win him over, she had indeed been getting closer to Kitahara Shinji.
There were many people from the Symboli family in the Tracen headquarters, and these performances would definitely reach that old woman's ears. Then with a little processing, it would not be difficult to make her misjudge that the two were dating.
As for Teio and Kitahara Shinji's team...
Anyway, it was just pretending. As long as Kitahara Shinji agreed, as the emperor of Tracen, she was confident that they would not know about this.
And even if they did, so what?
If she and Kitahara Shinji were blood relatives, it would be impossible for them to really establish that kind of relationship no matter what.
If one day it was exposed, she could just tell them the whole story of the plan, and then throw out the matter of Kitahara Shinji and her being blood relatives.
And even if they weren't blood relatives, it was just pretending, and she didn't plan to do anything extra, just interact with him as before. It was basically impossible to be discovered.
Even if it was discovered, she was confident that she could give a convincing explanation.
Symboli Rudolf felt that this matter was worth doing, so she began to think about how to get Kitahara Shinji to cooperate with her plan next.
And just as Rudolf was thinking, because they had to stagger their return time to avoid misunderstanding from others, Kitahara Shinji had also just returned to the campus, holding two large bags of food in his hands.
Entering the campus, he walked familiar to his dormitory door, took out the key, unlocked, and then pushed open.
Just as he wanted to raise the two large bags of food to announce to the little guys that he had brought back good food, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a few more horse girls in the room than when he left.
And after seeing clearly the three extra horse girls, or rather, the largest one among them, Kitahara Shinji's movements froze.
Damn it, how did you guys let Super Creek in!
And at the same moment, after Kitahara Shinji pushed open the door, the horse girls in the room also looked at him one after another.
With a slight twitch of their noses, their gazes gradually deepened.
They also knew that going out with a colleague would definitely involve some contact, so it was very normal to be stained with a colleague's scent.
But the problem was, the scent on him now seemed to be a bit too strong...
Especially Tokai Teio, whose sense of smell was the most sensitive, directly locked her gaze on Kitahara Shinji's right hand that had been holding Koyoi's before, and the wagging of her tail gradually slowed down.
That despicable woman actually took the opportunity to touch her Trainer-san...
But fortunately, besides the strong scent on his hand, the scent on the rest of Kitahara Shinji's body was very light.
This meant that he had not had any excessive contact with Koyoi, which also made the horse girls in the room breathe a sigh of relief.
However, sigh of relief or not, what needed to be done still had to be done.
After Kitahara Shinji came in a little stiffly, Special Week directly took action.
Taking the opportunity to go over and grab the food, she fiercely rubbed against Kitahara Shinji's hand, rubbing off the scent of Koyoi and replacing it with her own.
Nice Nature also took the opportunity of Kitahara Shinji wanting to change clothes after coming back, helped him take the suit, and by the way, pulled his collar, turning his chest into her territory.
In the next period of time, the remaining horse girls also took various actions, either actively or unconsciously.
In a short while after Kitahara Shinji came back, they had completely removed the scent of Koyoi from his body and replaced it with their own marks.
And after dealing with them, Kitahara Shinji finally had a chance to look at the three horse girls from Koyoi's team opposite him and asked them their purpose for coming.
"Because the clothing store owner said that Tamamo didn't need to help today, so I invited her over to play. Then I thought that Super Creek and Ines Fujin might also be free, and it would be more lively with more people, so I let Tamamo also ask them if they could come..." Oguri Cap said calmly, her eyes still clear.
Ines Fujin was the first charge in Koyoi's team.
She was a pink-haired, weak-looking horse girl who looked a bit like an elementary school student. After seeing Kitahara Shinji come in, she greeted him shyly in a small voice.
As for Tamamo Cross, although she had heard that Oguri Cap and the others were having some kind of training camp, she hadn't paid too much attention to it. It was only after she came here that she knew they were having a training camp in Kitahara Shinji's dormitory, and she was shocked at that time.
But that wasn't the most outrageous part.
Although Tamamo Cross had been talking closely with Kitahara Shinji before, and had heard him complain that his team was full of weirdos.
But damn, she didn't expect them to be this weird!
Tamamo Cross had thought that Oguri Cap and Special Week, these two big eaters, were weird enough. But after coming here, she found that a mere big eater was nothing.
Perverts, pressure monsters, science freaks...
And there was even a damn ghost!
That's a ghost! A living, genuine ghost!
Tamamo Cross and Ines Fujin were both afraid of ghosts.
Especially Ines Fujin, who was even more timid. After hearing that there was a ghost in this place, and being touched twice by Sunday Silence, she almost fainted directly.
It was only after Hishi Akebono's light cough that the gloomy feeling suddenly dispersed.
As for Super Creek...
After hearing that that ghost looked exactly like Cafe, and was an existence who had not received any care since she was young.
Feeling the aura she exuded, Sunday Silence also silently bypassed her.
Damn it, what has this Tracen become! Why are there so many demons and monsters! Can't she be a ghost properly!
And after they arrived, the horse girls on Kitahara Shinji's side did not directly bring up the topic, but beat around the bush while playing, to find out their attitude towards their trainer.
Then, they found that the development of things might be a little different from what they thought.
Because in their estimation, Koyoi already had three charges, so it was very normal for one or two of them to have improper intentions towards her, right?
But after the actual test, they found the strangeness.
Maybe it was because this team of Koyoi's generally developed relatively late, Ines Fujin and Tamamo Cross, let alone towards Koyoi, they didn't even have the idea of falling in love.
As for Super Creek...
She did have ideas, and she almost wrote her ideas on her face.
But it was obviously not the kind of idea they expected.
And, for the same reason, although they knew that Koyoi had gone out with Kitahara Shinji today, they did not know what they were going to do.
So, after confirming this fact, they had to change their strategy.
As for what strategy they changed to...
"Have you heard of 'team merger'?" Tokai Teio said slowly, her tone low.
If she had a choice, Tokai Teio would definitely not want to increase the number of people in the team.
Especially Super Creek, who could crush all of them in a certain sense, was a dangerous object that must be guarded against.
But the problem was, as of now, let alone conquering this block of wood, Kitahara Shinji, they currently couldn't even see any hope of moving him, let alone establishing any relationship.
In this situation, they had no position or reason to stop Kitahara Shinji from contacting Koyoi.
And what was even more fatal was that they clearly knew that there was an external enemy constantly stealing a march.
But because their goals within the team were also the same, let alone cooperating, it was good enough that they didn't trip each other up.
In this situation, the optimal solution was to pull Koyoi into their team.
Then they could establish a connection, drag her to the same starting line as them, and compete fairly.
Instead of them holding each other back here, while she was secretly eating alone over there.
Especially since Koyoi was different from them. She was an adult, a colleague, and Kitahara Shinji's senior.
These attributes were dangerous just thinking about them. They couldn't let her run wild.
And, this was also a test.
Although they all felt that Koyoi was interested in Kitahara Shinji, there was no solid evidence.
And after proposing the idea of merging the teams, if she was really not interested, she should not agree to this kind of thing.
On the contrary, if she agreed, then...
Everyone would be on the same starting line.
As for the three horse girls under her name...
Among them, Tamamo Cross and Ines Fujin were fine. They both looked like very stable options.
As for that Super Creek, although she was a bit dangerous.
But according to everyone's discussion, they unanimously believed that her danger was not the same as their focus, so in a sense, she could also be said to be safe.
So this matter was settled, and the remaining plan was also very clear.
Simply put, during this period, they would try to have more contact with the horse girls under Koyoi's name, have group activities together, and get closer.
Then, when the time was right, they would throw out the option of merging the teams to test Koyoi's intentions and see if she would agree.
Then, things became what Kitahara Shinji saw.
Although he didn't know what the horse girls under his name were planning, just looking at Super Creek, who had been smiling at him, made Kitahara Shinji feel a great deal of pressure.
No, don't look at me. Look at Tamamo Cross next to you, look at Ines Fujin.
If that doesn't work, you can look at Tokai Teio more. She's also a little one!
As for Super Creek opposite him, she was looking at him while silently regretting in her heart.
If before she came here, she was only suspicious about Kitahara Shinji not being able to take good care of himself.
Then after she came, after communicating with the horse girls under Kitahara Shinji's name, she was now very sure of this fact.
And she also found that Kitahara Shinji's situation was even more, well, subtle than she had originally thought?
It wasn't that he was not good at taking care of himself, but rather that he didn't care about himself at all.
He had a stronger ability to take care of people than her, and even made her live in his shadow since she was young.
And although he was very afraid of trouble, once someone encountered a problem, he would always lend a helping hand regardless of the consequences, and would not let go even if he was made a mess or even covered in wounds.
But once it came to a problem that only involved himself, he would rarely take any serious action, and would just have a muddle-through attitude.
He didn't care about his appearance, he didn't tidy up his room, and if it weren't for Hishi Akebono, there would probably be problems with his diet and physical exercise...
Super Creek liked to take care of children, that's right, but that didn't mean she only liked to take care of children.
Not doting on others when she couldn't help them was her life creed.
The reason why she liked to take care of children was simply because children, being immature, needed more help.
But it was obvious that Kitahara Shinji, in a sense, needed even more care than a child.
Not to mention that his ability to take care of others was even better than her own.
With such a strong contrast, looking at the man in front of her, Super Creek's motherly soul was burning wildly.
But the problem was that Kitahara Shinji was not her trainer, and their relationship was not deep enough for that.
And let alone Kitahara Shinji, even when Koyoi had come to Kitahara Shinji's side for refuge before, she would not have come over to snatch people.
Because although her methods might be a bit excessive in some aspects, she sincerely wanted to help others, and not just to satisfy her strange desire to take care of people.
And although Kitahara Shinji was not bad, Super Creek had never considered abandoning the three 'babies' in her team now and transferring over.
Although she was naturally close to humans, horse girls were also very loyal in terms of feelings.
Once they decided, it might not change in a lifetime. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many horse girls who regretted for life.
And it wasn't just about love, but also included Super Creek's strange desire to take care of people.
So was there a way to not give up her current three 'children' and also get close to Trainer Kitahara...
Thinking of some news she had heard in the past, a certain term that had just been discussed by Tokai Teio and the others for a long time slowly appeared in her mind.
Team merger.
As long as the teams merged, wouldn't she be able to gain a top-quality 'child' like Kitahara Shinji without giving up her current three 'children'?
And not only taking care of Kitahara Shinji, she could also take care of Kitahara Shinji while communicating with him, and even take care of others together...
And, there was another point. Besides Kitahara Shinji himself, there was the frail Agnes Tachyon, the lively and cute Tokai Teio, the gloomy and lonely Manhattan Cafe, and even Sunday Silence...
The thought of having so many 'children' to take care of after the team merger made Super Creek almost tremble with excitement.
And she was not the only one who had the idea of a team merger.
On the other side, looking at the various activities of the horse girls surrounding Kitahara Shinji, Tamamo Cross's eyes also became more and more nervous.
Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that she had any ideas about Kitahara Shinji.
It was just that after getting over the initial shock, the more she thought about it, the more she felt.
The reason why Kitahara Shinji, who was a normal person like her, could do something as outrageous as a training camp in his dormitory was probably because the horse girls around him were too weird, so he was assimilated.
It was rare to meet such a normal person, her only object of communication at the moment, and he had helped her so much. Tamamo Cross could not just watch him be assimilated like this.
But the problem was, what could she do?
Although she had become friends with Kitahara Shinji, since he was not her trainer, it was not appropriate to rashly interfere in other people's team affairs.
And Koyoi was also not bad to her, and had also promised to be her charge after she debuted, and she had no intention of transferring teams.
But if they could merge the teams...
Looking at the scene in front of her, the same idea slowly emerged in Tamamo Cross's heart.
The conversation continued, and the peace also continued.
It was just that under this peace, a chaotic but united undercurrent.
Began to surge.
