After talking with the old horse girl, Shinji, with a head full of fog, was kicked out of the clothing store.
However, before leaving, the old horse girl gave him an extra task: to help Teio pick out two sets of clothes to take back—so, why?
He and Teio were just ordinary friends, and mostly the kind of friends of convenience related by interests. When the other party hadn't requested it, wouldn't he be seen as a pervert if he rashly made such a suggestion?
Hmm? Wait a minute, seen as a pervert?
He suddenly pinched his chin.
If I do this, will it lower her affection?
To be honest, although he wasn't so afraid of Teio recently, he also felt that their relationship was growing a bit too fast. It had only been two weeks, and they had already become ordinary friends. What would happen after the three-year period was up was something he really didn't dare to think about.
So why not take this opportunity to lower her affection? And maybe it would even make Teio wary of him in the future and take the initiative to keep her distance.
Thinking of this, he was suddenly enlightened and immediately found Teio, very seriously proposing this suggestion.
Then, after a moment's hesitation, Teio gently nodded. "Okay, then I'll be in your care."
Shinji Kitahara: "...?"
Why is this plot development a bit different from what I imagined?
Not to say she should just turn and leave, but at the very least, you should have refused after hesitating, right? After all, Teio shouldn't know about his ability to pick clothes. Why did she agree?
Shinji felt a bunch of question marks popping up above his head.
"I just asked you to help me with some reference, what were you thinking, you stupid Trainer-san."
That's how Teio explained it, her tone and expression also very normal. It's just that for some reason, when she was explaining, her tail behind her was gently swaying.
Shinji had wanted to refute, but after glancing at Eclipse, who was in her perpetual all-black, and the good-for-nothing over there who couldn't even take care of herself, he suddenly found that he seemed to be the only person here who could give her a reference.
And although Teio wasn't from the Symboli family, her own family background was not poor. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was a young lady, so she definitely knew her stuff. So after discovering the quality of the clothes in this shop, it was normal for her to want to buy a couple of pieces. And because there was no one around who could help with reference, it was very reasonable to ask him.
After sorting out the logic, the heart that had been hanging in Shinji's throat slowly settled down, and then he couldn't help but regret it, thinking to himself why he had to go and do something unnecessary. Now he had just found trouble for himself.
However, although he regretted it in his heart, since he had already said it, there was no room for him to go back on his word. He then began to sigh in his heart while properly helping Teio pick out her clothes.
Of course, not as in-depth as with Tachyon. After all, Teio didn't have as thick a skin as she did. He just picked out some ordinary clothes.
Then, after the shopping session was over, Shinji was forcibly kicked out of the clothing store and was told to bring at least four people next time, otherwise he would be thrown out directly.
The kicked-out Shinji was completely baffled, unable to understand what the old horse girl meant at all—wasn't this just purely making things difficult for him?
Teio's and Tachyon's racing silks data had been collected, and they had also just bought clothes. How could they possibly run to a clothing store again for no reason in a short period of time?
And if he didn't count the two of them, then wouldn't he have to bring Oguri, Special Week, and Grass Wonder all over? Although he had reserved a set of racing silks for Ms. Grass, he hadn't told her about it yet. After all, she was just an outsider in name only, and she wasn't in a hurry to debut, so he was planning to tell her after Eclipse's batch of clothes was done. And now...
Or, if it really came down to it, it seemed it wasn't impossible to pull Agnes Digital over to make up the numbers. And with her personality, she would probably be interested in this kind of shop, especially that mysterious old horse girl. She probably wouldn't refuse his invitation.
Thinking this, his steps gradually grew distant, and he slowly disappeared at the end of the road.
And just as his figure had just disappeared, two other small figures appeared from the other end of the road and trotted to the front of the shop.
"Kitasan, are you sure this is the shop? But it looks a little... um, not very good."
"Dia-chan, trust me. Although it might look a bit dilapidated on the outside, you'll definitely be amazed when you go inside."
...
Unaware of what he had just missed, Shinji returned to Tracen Academy smoothly.
Then, just as he entered the academy, Narita Brian, whom he had just parted with not long ago, found them, said the President had something to discuss with Teio, and then took her away directly, probably to talk about the previous attack.
Tachyon wanted to stay, and even wanted to go to Shinji's dorm for a sit-down. But Shinji, having been tricked once, how could he make the same mistake a second time? He directly had Eclipse contact Agnes Digital, who had just come out of the infirmary, the ultimate anti-Tachyon weapon, and had her drag the former away.
Then, as usual, Eclipse escorted him back to his dorm.
But this time, Eclipse did not leave immediately after sending him back. After a moment's hesitation, she took out the bottle of unknown potion she had previously confiscated from Tachyon.
A bad feeling rose in Shinji's heart. "Eclipse, calm down. Most of that person's potions have problems, let alone this one that doesn't even have a name."
"It's okay. My constitution is quite good. I can drink a little to see."
As Eclipse said this, she was about to take a sip. But before she could raise her hand, it was snatched away by a cold-sweating Shinji.
"Don't. I'll do it."
What if this potion has some... unspeakable harmonious effects? If something happens to him, it's fine. Eclipse can easily subdue him. But if something happens to Eclipse, he has no ability to resist. Maybe today is the day he dies here...
Wait a minute. With her style, maybe she'll just go along with it?
However, although he had thought of this, he had no other choice, so he could only gently pour a few drops into the palm of his hand and then touch it with his tongue.
Then, in the next second, a more brilliant and bright light than last Saturday burst forth from his body.
But the good news was, this potion did seem to be just an ordinary nutrient supplement, just that the side effect of glowing was a bit strong—no, it should be a glowing potion, with the side effect of supplementing nutrients.
And it was only at this moment that he remembered a very important question.
"Wait, Eclipse, why did you suddenly want to try this potion?"
Eclipse tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said seriously, "Because I think, glowing, is very interesting."
Shinji Kitahara: "..."
Son of a btch!*
...
Although he was complaining in his heart and couldn't understand what Eclipse was thinking, Shinji still accompanied her in glowing for two hours.
Then, after Eclipse left, he began to seriously consider whether he should purchase a batch of this potion from Tachyon, specifically to make Eclipse happy, to reduce the probability of her jumping him one day when she's in a bad mood.
And in this thought, time quietly passed. Soon it was evening, and then morning came again.
As always, he woke up early, and after discovering that he still didn't have to go to work today, he turned over and prepared to go back to sleep.
Then, also as always, before he could wake up, there was a knock on the door.
Shinji had thought it was Eclipse coming to see him, but after opening the door, he found a combination he had never expected.
Silent Suzuka, and Special Week, who was being supported by her.
Then, before he could figure out what was going on, the latter anxiously handed Special Week over to him.
"I'm sorry, Trainer Kitahara, something urgent has come up on my side. I'll have to ask you to take care of Special Week!"
After speaking, she handed Special Week over to him and then immediately ran off, not giving him a chance to ask any questions at all.
And then, after her figure disappeared at the end of the road, Shinji retracted his gaze, then turned his head to Special Week in front of him. He was about to ask her what had happened to Suzuka, but then he saw that her expression was even more confused than his own.
...Forget it.
Looking at the simpleton in front of him, whose expression was even more dazed than his own, Shinji sighed.
"Come in first."
