"Teio-san, why do you look so sweaty? Did you just finish training?"
And Kitano obviously didn't notice that kind of hostility and malice. Of course, this malice wasn't directed at him, so he naturally couldn't feel it. Plus, horse girls were inherently much stronger in terms of perception. In this aspect, Kitano, as an ordinary person, was not as perceptive as Palmer.
Kitano walked forward without any sense of danger, only to find that he didn't know when, but Teio, who had seemed very happy just a second ago from her tone, suddenly looked like a sulky child, with a puffy face and a dissatisfied look, staring at him.
"...What's wrong? Teio-san? Do I look that annoying?"
"Wuwuwuwuwu! Kitano Trainer! You're a big liar!"
However, Teio, this child who couldn't hide her feelings, didn't understand what "jealousy" was. She just pointed at Mejiro Palmer, who was slowly walking up beside Kitano, and said very dissatisfiedly:
"Didn't you say that you wanted me, the great Emperor, to also participate in the selection trials? Didn't you say that whether it's a genius or an ordinary horse girl, they should all compete on the same stage?"
"Then what's with this person! Why is Trainer Kitano walking so intimately with her! You big liar! You clearly said that we would all compete together!"
"Oh my, it seems there's a misunderstanding."
And Mejiro Palmer was a little hesitant when she first came over, because she felt that the closer she got to the training ground, the stronger the hostility coming towards her became, and it was coming from all directions. It was as if the closer she got to Trainer Kitano, the stronger the sense of crisis that wanted to tear her to shreds became.
And the most inconspicuous one was probably the Tokai Teio in front of her. And Palmer, with her personality of not wanting to be at odds with the world, naturally didn't want to be hated by everyone. Therefore, she tried to explain her relationship with Kitano clearly to see if that hostility around her would disappear.
"Teio-san, it seems you don't know me yet, but you must know my younger sister, Mejiro McQueen."
"Huh? You know McQueen? Eh? You're McQueen's older sister?" Sure enough, as soon as Teio heard that Palmer knew McQueen, her hostility immediately decreased a lot. Hearing this, Palmer also smiled slightly and said:
"Yes, I am Mejiro Palmer. It seems McQueen rarely mentions me."
"It was my younger sister, Mejiro Ryan, who asked her trainer, Miss Fujiwara Reiko, to entrust Trainer Kitano to help teach me. Although I am Ryan and McQueen's older sister, my talent has never been as good as my two younger sisters."
"It's just that Ryan won't give up. I also signed up for this selection trial, and I just asked Trainer Kitano to give me some guidance."
Mejiro Palmer explained patiently with a feigned composure. And as she expected, as soon as these words were spoken, Palmer immediately felt that the hostility around her had dissipated a lot, and she let out a big sigh of relief in her heart.
Sure enough, the source of that hostility was because these people had their eyes on Trainer Kitano! It seems that many horse girls are eyeing this position of the first charge horse girl...
Fortunately, I've never had my eyes on this position. Palmer let out a sigh of relief in her heart, and then continued to maintain a gentle and sunny attitude towards Teio, saying:
"Today is the first day I asked Trainer Kitano to guide me. Trainer Kitano said that he hoped I could find an excellent horse girl as a reference and try running a lap first."
"How about it? Teio-san. I originally wanted to find you, after all, you and McQueen are friends, and you are both best at the forward-runner style. But it seems you are already exhausted."
"I have water here, do you want to rest for a while? Ah, Kitano Trainer, water."
As Mejiro Palmer said this, she fully showed her gentle and magnanimous side as an older sister, as if she didn't care about the previous hostility at all. After taking the sports salt water prepared for her from Kitano, she immediately handed it to Teio.
And this move also completely eliminated the hostility of Teio and several other horse girls who were secretly observing. And Tokai Teio's childish personality also completely eliminated the last bit of estrangement because of Palmer's identity as McQueen's older sister.
"Thank you, Palmer-san."
Teio also took the water, but she didn't open it. Instead, she said to Kitano with a smiling face, "Really, Kitano Trainer, you should have told me this kind of thing earlier. I almost thought you had found a charge horse girl behind my back."
"You didn't give me time to explain... but forget it." Kitano also didn't dwell on this issue for too long. After all, it was just Teio's childish temper. Now, he and Palmer had more important things to do.
"Then, Teio-san, you go and rest now. Do you have any other friends who are good at the forward-runner style? I hope to have a horse girl who is good at the forward-runner style to try it with Palmer. I want to analyze her problems from Palmer's running style."
"Hmph, I don't need to rest at all. Leave it to me, the great Emperor!"
And as soon as Tokai Teio heard that Kitano had something to ask of her, she immediately became energetic. She, who had just run three rounds of races, still looked full of spirit and said proudly:
"I, the great Emperor, still have plenty of energy, no problem at all!"
"—No, Teio-san, you go and rest now. Just by looking at you, I can tell you're exhausted. We're not in a hurry."
Kitano, upon hearing this, immediately said to Tokai Teio seriously. Tokai Teio didn't care now and hadn't experienced the pain of a fracture, so she was so reckless. But Kitano couldn't let her have her way.
Chapter 46: Rudolf Wants to Personally Teach Palmer? (2/2)
The "Teio Step," as Tokai Teio's unique skill, indeed had a unique talent, but this running style could only be used a limited number of times. For the current Tokai Teio, the last thing Kitano wanted was for her to rely too much on her talent.
"Huh? But—"
"No buts." However, without giving Teio any chance to insist, Kitano immediately said, "Now go and rest obediently. It's also fine to buy yourself a cup of honey special drink, but you just can't continue to run."
"—I remember, a new honey special drink stand has opened on campus. Teio-san should like it."
"Oh, really? I want to go, I want to go!"
Sure enough, tempting Teio with a honey special drink was the most effective way. In no time, Tokai Teio, whose attention was completely attracted by the honey special drink, immediately ran in the direction Kitano pointed.
And after Teio ran away, Palmer on the side looked at Kitano with a slightly subtle smile and said, "Kitano Trainer... you are indeed more attentive to Teio-san."
"Hmm?"
"Teio-san likes to drink honey special drinks. Kitano Trainer knows this. It seems that Kitano Trainer has already investigated Teio-san's preferences, right?"
"Sure enough, Kitano Trainer still prefers geniuses, right? Am I wrong?"
Mejiro Palmer said with a smile, but the expression in her eyes carried a hint of a teasing color, obviously joking. And on this, Kitano didn't know how to explain. After all, as a horse girl enthusiast who had seen the anime, if he didn't even know the preferences of one of the main characters, Tokai Teio, wouldn't he be a fake fan?
"That's not it. I just happened to know."
"Oh? Then, Kitano Trainer, can you guess what I like?" Mejiro Palmer obviously hadn't let Kitano go yet and continued to ask jokingly.
However, sure enough, Kitano Ryuichi, who considered himself a horse enthusiast, knew very little about Mejiro Palmer's interests. He stood with his mouth open for a long time, not knowing what to say.
And seeing Kitano's interesting reaction, just as Palmer was about to let this joke go, she heard Kitano answer the next moment:
"Sorry... I really don't know that. But I do know that you don't like to run steeplechase, right, Palmer-san?"
"I don't know about the others, but I can guarantee that if Palmer-san can really become my charge horse girl, I will absolutely not let Palmer go and run a steeplechase."
On the point that Mejiro Palmer had switched to running steeplechase midway, Kitano was still very clear. But he was just guessing. After all, a steeplechase was something that almost no horse girl liked. In the horse girl game, almost all horse girls avoided steeplechase. It can be imagined how unpopular this kind of race was.
And Mejiro Palmer, because of her poor results, had switched to steeplechase, and not only did she not win, but she also got a lot of injuries. Knowing this future, Kitano believed that he would absolutely not let Palmer go and run a steeplechase.
However, Kitano's rather solemn words made Mejiro Palmer slightly stunned for a moment. But the next moment, Mejiro Palmer, who had not experienced this, just smiled nonchalantly and said:
"Then I'll remember that."
As a horse girl of the Mejiro family, although Mejiro Palmer had no talent, she wouldn't be reduced to running a steeplechase, right? Therefore, Mejiro Palmer didn't pay too much attention to Kitano's words, but was a little curious why Kitano would think she hated running steeplechase.
Is a steeplechase very dangerous? I've only ever heard about it before. Should I find a chance to go and see?
"—Kitano Trainer, and Mejiro Palmer, hello."
Behind Kitano, at some point, Symboli Rudolf, along with Air Groove and Narita Brian, had slowly come to the training ground. And the moment Kitano saw Rudolf, he also immediately straightened his attitude and replied:
"Hello, President. Isn't the student council busy today? It's rare to see you all here."
"Yes, things have been easier recently." When Rudolf heard the title "President," her pupils dimmed slightly for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said to Kitano with a smiling face:
"Kitano Trainer, I also heard your conversation with Palmer-san just now. You are looking for a horse girl who is good at the forward-runner tactic, right?"
"—If you don't mind, I can be Palmer-san's opponent. My best running style is also the forward-runner."
As she said this, Rudolf, while maintaining a smiling expression, also turned to look at Mejiro Palmer. But at that moment, Mejiro Palmer once again felt a wave of pressure from Rudolf, rushing towards her.
What is going on today! Mejiro Palmer thought, on the verge of tears. She clearly just wanted to run a few steps normally. Why was everyone so hostile towards her!
