And so, the peaceful days began to flow again.
However, what was a little different from before was that not long after that Sunday gathering, driven by the undercurrents from both sides, Koyoi's team changed their usual training location and moved next to Kitahara Shinji's team. The communication between the two sides also became much closer.
But Kitahara Shinji didn't pay too much attention to this matter.
After all, in Koyoi's team, only Super Creek needed to be worried about, but he was not her trainer. It was fine to just exchange experiences on taking care of people.
As for Tamamo Cross, that was even less of a problem.
After all, she was the most normal horse girl he had met at Tracen so far.
Let alone staying away, he couldn't wait to have more contact with her, lest he be unknowingly assimilated by this strange place someday without even realizing it.
And Kitahara Shinji's team was also very welcoming of this.
After all, with both sides so close, they didn't have to worry about Koyoi calling Kitahara Shinji over and then stealing a march on them in a place they couldn't see.
Now, if Koyoi wanted to make a move, her every move would be exposed under their noses.
And with both sides so close, it was very normal for them to 'happen to' hear or go over and interrupt, right?
Thus, in this strange peace, time came to the beginning of August.
Because Agnes Tachyon and Tokai Teio both had races in August, and Agnes Digital had also scheduled an OP-level race for late August last month.
Kitahara Shinji thought about it. Since he had been excessively idle during this period, he thought he should fulfill his duties as a trainer and make some adjustments for them.
Of course, not including Tokai Teio.
Although she had joined the training camp and had indeed returned to her former liveliness, she had yet to give a reply to that question.
Kitahara Shinji was not in a hurry about this. In fact, it was better that she didn't reply.
If she suddenly had a rush of blood to the head and really wanted him to be her exclusive trainer, that would be what he had to worry about.
However, before he could finish worrying about Tokai Teio's matter, and before he could make training adjustments for Agnes Tachyon and Agnes Digital, a bolt from the blue directly stunned him on the spot.
"Um... Trainer Kitahara, there's something I want to talk to you about."
Symboli Rudolf suddenly spoke, her tone rarely hesitant.
"What is it, President?" Kitahara Shinji looked at her in confusion, not realizing the seriousness of the problem at all.
Then Rudolf coughed a few times and spoke with a slight hesitation.
"You should still remember that some time ago, I told you that my family was forcing me to go on a blind date..."
"Yes, I remember. What's wrong?"
"Then yesterday, my grandmother called me again. Because I was very annoyed at that time and didn't want to talk about this topic with her, I casually said that I already have a boyfriend..."
Hearing this, the familiar feeling made Kitahara Shinji raise his eyebrows, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
"Wait, President, you're not trying to imitate Trainer Koyoi and have me pretend to be your boyfriend, are you..."
"That's not necessary." Symboli Rudolf shook her head.
Kitahara Shinji breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the next second, Rudolf spoke again.
"It's just that when my grandmother asked me who my boyfriend was yesterday, I gave her your name."
The moment her voice fell, Kitahara Shinji's expression froze on his face.
I gave her your name, I gave her your name, I gave her your name...
This sentence kept echoing in his mind, and then slowly formed a big word.
Doomed!
Rudolf had long anticipated his possible reaction and then spoke to comfort him.
"Don't worry, I just gave her a name. If that old woman... I mean, if the Symboli family really comes looking, I won't let you show up. I will go and explain the situation to her myself."
It's just that that old woman will probably want to see her joke, so it's unlikely she'll come over in the short term.
Rudolf's words brought Kitahara Shinji back to his senses a little, but his mood did not ease much because of this.
Although he felt that Symboli Rudolf probably didn't look down on him and was probably telling the truth.
But the problem was that even so, after the Symboli family heard that he might be Symboli Rudolf's boyfriend, they would definitely pay attention to him.
And based on what he knew about the Symboli family's style, what would happen then was really hard to say...
After all, that was the Symboli family!
Although Rudolf repeatedly assured him that it would absolutely not affect his life, and if someone from the Symboli family really came, she would immediately come forward to clarify.
And if it really had a bad effect on him, or if he was approached in private, he could also directly tell the other party the truth, and she would help him solve the subsequent matters.
But Kitahara Shinji still felt it was not safe. After thinking for a long time, after returning to the dormitory, he rarely contacted that grumpy senior horse girl for something other than hunting horse girls and narrated the course of events to her.
And said that if the situation became critical to a certain extent, he hoped that she could provide some help.
Extremely rarely, that senior horse girl did not scold him after receiving his message, nor did she reply immediately. Instead, after showing that the message was 'read' for a long time, she said that she needed to consider it.
Kitahara Shinji was not surprised.
After all, in recent years, with Rudolf's undefeated Triple Crown and seven overall crowns, the Symboli family had developed at an astonishing speed.
And the original Symboli family was already a first-class big family on par with several other horse girl families. After these years of development, it had become the only T0.
Although he knew that that senior horse girl's identity was definitely not simple, but to go against the now-flourishing Symboli family for him, she would definitely have to consider it.
After all, even if their relationship was good, she definitely had a family, and she always had to consider the interests of the family, right?
And after that, although that senior horse girl did not explicitly say that she was willing to help, she did say that if he wanted, she could arrange for someone to pick him up at Tracen and let him hide at her place first.
However, Kitahara Shinji refused.
Although he was a little worried about being targeted by the Symboli family, he was not so scared that he couldn't even continue his daily life.
What's more, although the threat of the Symboli family was in a league of its own, it wasn't as if other horse girl families were safe.
After all, to this day, he still hadn't been able to determine which big family that senior horse girl belonged to.
If he agreed to her, although he should be able to escape the attention of the Symboli family.
But who knows, when he opens his eyes, what might appear in front of him are the young ladies of the Mejiro family, or even Satono Diamond...
And to Kitahara Shinji's refusal, that senior horse girl agreed extremely readily.
And, it wasn't just that she agreed readily.
Kitahara Shinji inexplicably felt that after he refused, not only was this old woman not angry, but even the words she typed out seemed to reveal a sense of joy.
It must be an illusion, right?
After all, how could the cold words on a screen typed out on a keyboard possibly reveal a sense of joy?
As for the situation of their interaction after knowing this matter...
The answer is that there was no change.
Because there was no need for any change.
After all, they didn't have that kind of relationship in the first place.
And the atmosphere of them gathering together from time to time to watch Tokai Teio train and discuss related issues about Tokai Teio and how to get along with children.
Let alone dating, it even had a sense of an old married couple, which could completely deceive the eyes of those Symboli family spies.
As for whether this kind of interaction could deceive the head of the Symboli family...
This question was a matter of opinion.
And as for how the others in Kitahara Shinji's team saw the interaction between Rudolf and Kitahara Shinji...
Because there were no overly intimate actions, just ordinary conversation, and they never minded others eavesdropping, and it was even fine to join in.
This frank performance, and the fact that the two of them were talking about matters related to Tokai Teio, showed no signs of feelings.
So although they felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange, they just treated it as an ordinary exchange between a responsible trainer and a senior who was optimistic about a junior, and didn't worry too much.
And, after all, she was the king of the undefeated seven crowns, the face of Tracen Academy now.
Such an existence, in this situation where trainers are becoming increasingly scarce, couldn't possibly lower herself to compete with them, a group of juniors, for a man, right?
As for Tokai Teio, although she felt a little emotional at first because the two were too close.
But now, as time went by, after knowing that the two had been talking about her related topics, the feeling of being valued and paid attention to made her steps a little lighter.
Furthermore, after hearing before that the reason why the president had changed her mind was because of Kitahara Shinji's persuasion.
She even put on the racing outfit that Kitahara Shinji had given her, and would deliberately run around the two of them a few more times whenever Symboli Rudolf came over to chat with Kitahara Shinji, just like a child showing off her efforts to her parents.
"To be honest, when I see the three of them together, I always have the illusion that a family of three is interacting." —a certain Air Groove, who wished to remain anonymous, commented.
And, by the way.
Because of Tokai Teio's move-in, there were now a few more game consoles in Kitahara Shinji's dormitory.
Well, kids, they definitely like to play games.
Especially since there were a lot of people on Kitahara Shinji's side, so they could always gather enough people to play games that required several, or even a dozen people to play.
Of course, relaxation was one thing, but considering their studies and running, Kitahara Shinji strictly limited their game time.
Especially Tokai Teio.
This one had a record of playing games all night with her roommate, who was also a little ancestor in a certain sense, which resulted in a lack of sleep and almost being unable to train the next day, so Kitahara Shinji paid special attention to her.
"Mejiro McQueen (Tokai Teio's roommate) might not even debut next year, and she hasn't even found a trainer yet. She can stay up all night, can you?"
Facing Kitahara Shinji's reproachful lesson, Tokai Teio obediently lowered her head, not daring to refute a single word.
However, because the time was strictly limited, sometimes the horse girls in his dormitory would not have enough people to play games.
Then, after thinking about it, their gazes unanimously turned to Kitahara Shinji.
Kitahara Shinji didn't mind, since he was idle anyway.
However, three days after this suggestion was made, even if the game was short of people, the horse girls would no longer ask him.
As for the reason...
Games that can accommodate so many people playing together are generally competitive games.
And as mentioned before, Kitahara Shinji, although limited by his physical body and having a large gap in strength with the horse girls.
But in terms of nerves, reaction, and endurance, even the top horse girls had a considerable gap compared to him.
And plus his personality of liking to focus on whatever he did, and his overly strong learning ability, after only three days of exploring, the horse girls who played against him began to have no gaming experience at all.
As for going easy?
That's impossible.
Not to mention Kitahara Shinji's personality of liking to be serious in whatever he did.
Even if he wasn't serious, going easy was a very good option for increasing affection. He would be a fool to go easy.
However, even if no one was willing to play with him anymore, that game was indeed quite interesting, and it was the most popular game in society at the moment. Even many of the trainers were playing it.
So now when he was free, he would also play a few rounds, so that he could have more common topics with other trainers when he was browsing the group chats.
And, because his operation was too sharp, even though he rarely went online.
He still reached a very high ranking through continuous victories, and in the process, he also gained a little apprentice with the online name 'Grasp Victory'.
No, it's not right to say apprentice, because he had never taught the other party anything. It was just that when he was online, if the other party was online, they would directly invite him, and then be beaten up.
And Kitahara Shinji wasn't worried that the other party would be a horse girl or something.
Because although he rarely took the initiative to talk to the other party, the other party liked to chat with him very much.
And the topics were all things that were popular among boys at the time, and he even mentioned once that he was saving money to buy a motorcycle. This didn't sound like something a horse girl, especially a horse girl from Tracen, could say.
And, after all, he had transmigrated for more than ten years.
Although because he had deliberately memorized it, he still remembered most of the information about horse girls.
But after more than ten years, it was inevitable to forget something.
So, although Kitahara Shinji inexplicably felt that these things sounded a little familiar.
But because he really couldn't remember, he didn't dwell on it too much and soon threw it to the back of his mind.
After that, after confirming that the Symboli family's side had temporarily made no move, and that the Black Forest side did not need him to interfere, Kitahara Shinji also began to adjust the pre-race plan for Agnes Tachyon.
Checking her body's recovery status, confirming the current safe maximum output...
Based on the changes in her body, further adjusting the existing running style, and doing some specially customized, targeted special training...
Then, after finishing these, another few peaceful days passed, and the time came to the day of Agnes Tachyon's race.
Hokkaido, Sapporo.
Although it was only an OP-level race, not a graded stakes race, and the momentum was much smaller than Agnes Digital's G1 before.
But the venue was still packed with people, and there were professional commentators and TV broadcasts.
After all, an OP-level race was already a regular race. Although it was slightly insufficient in terms of influence and prize money compared to a graded stakes race, it was already a field that only a small number of horse girls could touch.
Not to mention, according to the URA's regulations, from the beginning of Agnes Tachyon's debut to now, the races that the horse girls of her generation could participate in were only five OP and two G3 races.
And even in these seven races, four of them were short-distance races that were not compatible with Agnes Tachyon, and one of them was a G3.
And in the remaining two OP and G3 races, the only G3 had a super rookie like Tokai Teio.
And although her body was much better than at the beginning, there were still some hidden dangers, and she hadn't started training yet. In this state, she definitely couldn't beat Tokai Teio, so she could only temporarily avoid her.
But even so, the newly debuted horse girls who were qualified to participate in an OP-level race at this time were also quite outstanding in this generation.
After all, up to now, there were only a few official races. Those geniuses who wanted to run higher-level races had nowhere to go.
And there was another point, that is, because a horse girl running at full strength puts a great load on her body.
The more talented a horse girl is, the more she will want to participate in races early to accumulate points, so as to leave enough preparation time for higher-level races later.
So, those who could compete at this time were also the best of this generation, and their shadows would definitely not be missing on the future graded stakes race tracks.
And since there was such a gathering of geniuses, the level of this race was naturally not comparable to the mixed-quality basic race before.
Even before the race started, just by looking at their movements and expressions when they entered the venue, Kitahara Shinji could judge.
Although these few horse girls were newly debuted, even the weakest one, her strength was probably not inferior to the second place in the basic race with Tokai Teio at that time.
If it were the Agnes Tachyon from the basic race, Kitahara Shinji probably wouldn't have any hope for her victory.
After all, at that time, let alone winning against these opponents, it was probably an unknown whether she could even win against that second place.
But now...
Standing on the trainer's exclusive stand, Kitahara Shinji calmly watched Agnes Tachyon walk into the racecourse, then calmly watched the entire race, and calmly watched Agnes Tachyon win the championship by a two-length margin.
Although the opponent's strength was stronger, although she still couldn't use her full strength, with Kitahara Shinji's help and adjustment, Agnes Tachyon already had strength far beyond what she had when she trained on her own.
And, even such an outrageous improvement was the result of Kitahara Shinji's extreme restraint.
However, after the race, Agnes Tachyon, just like at the time of the basic race, sat down on a chair in the activity room when only Kitahara Shinji and her were present, and slowly raised her legs.
Seeing this familiar scene, Kitahara Shinji was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted.
My goodness, this girl is still holding a grudge over that matter?
Although he had long known that Agnes Tachyon was very vengeful, and had tried to tease and provoke him many times before to get back at him, he really didn't expect that she was still not over this matter.
But it didn't matter. After all, it was just taking off her shoes.
And he also knew that she just wanted to give him shoes in this way, so he agreed readily and then walked over.
However, unlike last time, because after this period of conditioning, Agnes Tachyon's condition had improved considerably.
Plus, it wasn't the first time Kitahara Shinji had touched her legs. He had also helped her knead them many times during nursing care before, so there was no out-of-control behavior like last time, and he took off her shoes very normally.
However, just as he took off the second shoe and was about to get the new shoes to help her change.
Along with the wagging of her tail, her beautiful legs quietly came together, and her small ankles moved slightly, clamping his hands somewhat stiffly.
Then, after a moment of stiffness and pause, those legs moved again, gently rubbing the warm palms clamped in between.
The movements were very clumsy, and also stiff, and even had a sense of being careful.
But a good racing outfit is expensive for a reason. Even just this pair of black stockings that looked no different from other stockings had an extremely wonderful touch.
As for the clumsiness and stiffness of the movements, although it lacked the enjoyment of a skilled one, combined with her serious appearance, it instead seemed more alluring, with a kind of beauty exclusive to shyness.
After being treated like this, Kitahara Shinji was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the playful Agnes Tachyon.
"Tachyon, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't you understand yet, guinea pig?"
She looked at him playfully, forcing down the shame in her heart, her tail behind her spinning faster and faster.
Then, she bent down, approached Kitahara Shinji's face, and slowly reached out her hand towards his face.
"You're really slow. I've already shown it so obviously, why don't you understand yet, guinea pig? I..."
Just as her hand was about to touch his cheek, Agnes Tachyon's movements stopped, and her words also came to an abrupt halt.
It wasn't that someone had barged in at this time, but that she herself had reached her limit.
Looking at the face so close to her, feeling the temperature brought by his breath.
Although another voice in her heart was already roaring wildly, after hesitating for a long time, she still couldn't muster up the courage to complete that final step.
After a stalemate for a moment, she suddenly raised her head again, still maintaining a playful smile, and slowly spoke.
"Of course, I want you to give me some nursing care."
After a pause, she stopped rubbing Kitahara Shinji's hands, her tone somewhat strange.
"You didn't get the wrong idea just now, did you, guinea pig? Well, if you want, seeing that you've helped me so much these days, giving you some 'rewards' is not impossible..."
"No, thanks."
Kitahara Shinji rolled his eyes at her.
To be honest, he was really stunned by Agnes Tachyon's actions just now and actually had a fleeting illusion that she was going to confess to him.
But fortunately, this illusion only lasted for a moment before he returned to normal and realized that this woman might be teasing him.
And Agnes Tachyon's performance now further confirmed his guess.
As for the reason, Kitahara Shinji felt that it was very likely that she was still holding a grudge over what the previous potion had done, so she wanted to tease him in this way to get revenge.
And, after this scare, Kitahara Shinji was now even more disbelieving of Agnes Tachyon's words in this regard.
After all, she could do this to get revenge on him this time, so she might take some more excessive actions next time.
He was also mentally prepared for this and made up his mind that no matter what she said next, even if it was a direct confession, he would just treat it as a joke.
After all, he was not stupid. He had been teased by Agnes Tachyon with similar, but not so serious, methods many times before (although none of them had succeeded), and now she had come up with such a move again.
Although he was not a Saint Seiya, if he still didn't learn his lesson after so many times, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
But even so, after being teased, he was not prepared to just let it go as if nothing had happened.
After all, she dared to do this now.
If he didn't teach her a lesson, she would probably become even more aggressive in the future, and who knows when she might play it too far.
So, for the purpose of warning and lowering her affection, after Agnes Tachyon released his hand, he directly turned his hand around and grabbed Agnes Tachyon's ankle.
Then, before she could finish her sentence, his hand quickly fumbled up, found a point, and then exerted a slight force.
The words came to an abrupt halt.
Then, after a moment of suppressed silence, a pleading-like whimper began to sound in the temporary activity room.
It did not stop for a long time.
