After taking Agnes Digital to the infirmary, Shinji looked at the time and directly announced that they were dismissed.
Normally, even if he announced dismissal, only he would leave. The remaining horse girls would definitely stay together for a while longer, chatting or going somewhere to hang out.
But today, perhaps because they had received too much information, the girls, each with their own thoughts, did not stay. After saying their goodbyes, they dispersed—of course, Eclipse properly escorted Shinji back to his dorm.
But after returning, no one was able to fall into a peaceful sleep as quickly as usual.
...
...
"Oguri, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just feel a little hungry."
"Didn't you eat enough at dinner? I still have some here..."
"No, I'm full. But I don't know why, I'm still a little hungry."
...
"Tachy, did something good happen to you?"
"Good? Hmm... not really, but it was certainly interesting."
"Oh? Then can you tell me what it was?"
"It was something like picking up a stray guinea pig that someone else didn't want on the road."
...
"Teio, you look very happy today. Did something good happen?"
"Not really, President. I just heard a nice story."
"I see... By the way, how is your trainer doing? He hasn't been attacked again, has he?"
"No—and he won't be in the future. The invincible Teio-sama will definitely protect him!"
...
"Special Week, you..."
"Waaah, Suzuka, do you have any extra carrots? I didn't eat enough tonight."
"Did something happen?"
"I don't know. Grassy seemed very absent-minded today and gave me much less food than usual. My stomach is already growling. Please, Suzuka, share some of your carrots with me. I'll do anything..."
By the way, because Silent Suzuka had something to do today, it was Grass Wonder who took care of Special Week. But it seemed that this time, she had also failed to seize the opportunity.
...
As the moon rose, everyone fell asleep with different thoughts in their minds.
Then, as the sun rose, a new day was about to begin.
Tokai Teio woke up early and began to wash up and dress.
First of all, she wanted to declare that she had no special thoughts about her trainer. It was just that she was going out, and might even be shopping, so she definitely had to dress up properly. Otherwise, it would damage the image of the invincible Teio-sama. As for her clothes, she would just wear the set she usually didn't have the heart to wear.
After washing up and changing, she said goodbye to her roommate who was still sleeping in, and Teio went out, heading to the agreed meeting place.
But just as she was about to arrive, her steps slowed down as she looked at the scene not far away, and her eyes unconsciously narrowed a little.
Although they had talked a lot last night, Shinji hadn't forgotten to tell her afterwards that he hadn't only ordered racing silks for her, and that tomorrow, Eclipse and Tachyon would also be going with her. Teio knew this was normal and had expected it, so although a strange emotion surged in her heart, she didn't show it in the end.
She just hadn't expected that this Tachyon person could be so... shameless.
She was actually wearing a set of clothes she had never worn in front of everyone before, and she even looked like she had carefully dressed up!
Her usually messy, fluffy hair was now in a short ponytail, and there was even a butterfly knot tied with a white ribbon. Her top was a mix of beige and white, with some gray mixed in. Her bottoms were shorts hidden under her top and stockings, and on her feet were a pair of white and slightly pink casual shoes.
With this outfit, Teio could no longer find even a trace of the mad scientist she used to be. And unlike the mature style she had when she went out last time, she now looked like a large, humanoid hamster, very cute, and even gave people the urge to rush up and pet her.
It's just that she didn't know that, at the same time, Tachyon had also noticed her arrival, and had also narrowed her eyes.
To think that this seemingly innocent Tokai Teio had such a side to her.
Her hairstyle hadn't changed, but you could tell she had carefully dressed up before leaving. There was still a little bit of moisture on the tips of her hair that hadn't dissipated yet.
As for her clothes, it was a white dress with a pink shawl. When you got closer, you could even smell a refreshing fragrance. Although Tachyon hadn't studied this area in depth, she could at least tell that this fragrance was definitely not some common product that could be bought on the street, and she had never smelled it on her before.
As expected, this little girl has her eyes on my guinea pig.
As expected, this mad scientist has her eyes on her Trainer-san.
A similar thought rose in both of their hearts at the same time.
Although on the surface they were still smiling at each other, their eyes held clear hostility.
And not long after they began their standoff, the remaining two also arrived, and then froze.
"Why are you two so early?"
Shinji almost thought he was late. After taking out his phone to check, he found that there was still half an hour before the agreed time.
"I just woke up a little early."
"I was just bored, so I came early."
The two answered at the same time.
Shinji didn't dwell on this point, nor did he pay too much attention to the strangeness of their outfits.
Girls are girls. Isn't it normal for them to dress up when they go out?
Compared to them, Eclipse was the abnormal one. Although she had changed her clothes before going out, her style was still pure black. Her closet didn't even have clothes of any other color, at most just different shades.
As for Shinji...
He was dressed very casually, about the same as usual. He hadn't even dressed up much before coming out, forming a sharp contrast with the two beside him.
Anyway, I'm just going out to get some data, and I'm going to a friend's shop. Why dress up so much?
And an appropriately poor image could also effectively lower his impression in the eyes of others, which could further reduce the probability of being fancied. It even saved trouble. So why would he look for trouble for himself?
It's just that the situation that followed was a bit different from what he had expected.
"Your collar is crooked, Trainer-san."
Teio suddenly spoke, then walked over and helped him fix his crooked collar. Then she looked up at him and pretended to have a slightly angry, cute expression. "Trainer-san, you should also pay attention to your own image. Otherwise, when I win a race in the future, you might become a laughingstock for those reporters, and you might even be disliked by other horse girls."
The problem is, that's exactly what I'm thinking.
Shinji complained in his heart but still agreed with Teio on the surface. After all, what she said was reasonable. As her trainer, his appearance would indeed have a certain impact on her image. It was normal for her to be dissatisfied, so he didn't doubt her actions.
But Tachyon on the other side didn't think so.
Feeling Teio's occasional "unintentional" glances, Tachyon narrowed her eyes, then also walked up to Shinji and looked at him with a smile. "What do you think of my outfit today?"
"It's fine. What's wrong?"
"Doesn't it look a little familiar?"
"Of course it's familiar."
Shinji glanced at her and said in an annoyed tone, "Aren't these the clothes you pestered me to pick out for you back then? How could I not be familiar with them?"
As his words fell, Teio's movements instantly paused.
