It didn't take long for Shinji to find out why Silent Suzuka had left in such a hurry.
Mitsuo Taishi was Silent Suzuka's charge trainer. The one who had chatted with Shinji in the group chat before. As his name suggests, he was a cheerful and enthusiastic person, with a slightly rugged appearance and a rather unrestrained style.
His talent as a trainer was not outstanding, but he was down-to-earth, hardworking, and experienced. And because of his personality, he was very popular, especially among the new trainers, he was like a big brother figure.
It's just that this person had one problem: he was too soft-hearted.
He could treat other trainers and those genius horse girls who shone like meteors normally. But once it came to those horse girls who had no talent or strength, who couldn't win races, and couldn't compete in studies, who were originally geniuses in their local areas but could only be reduced to background characters after coming to the main Tracen campus, he found it difficult to remain calm.
With his ability as a trainer, he could have completely refused their requests and then gone to sign contracts with those talented horse girls. But he felt that it would be too cruel to the remaining children. So after joining, he had been recruiting those unwanted children, wanting to give them a chance to shine.
And he had succeeded.
Although to this day, the horse girls under his name had never won a single G1 race, and even the number of times they had won a graded stakes was not much, the problem was that the horse girls under his command were basically those who had been given up on.
If there were no accidents, those horse girls would probably have to struggle in OP class races for their entire lives, and then leave the stage黯然 (ànrán - sadly/dejectedly) after the three-year period was over.
But with his efforts, these originally abandoned existences not only gradually gained the qualification to participate in graded stakes, but some had even won a G2 race. Although there were various luck factors, such as the absence of star contenders, venue factors, or the collective underperformance of their opponents, a win was a win. For them, who had been abandoned, G2 was a dream they had never dared to think of before.
This sounded like a very beautiful story, right?
But do you remember the problem with this person mentioned at the beginning?
That's right, he was soft-hearted.
After the first charge under his guidance achieved good results, those background horse girls who had originally given up all hope rekindled the fighting spirit in their hearts and all came to him.
And then, well...
As of now, including Silent Suzuka, this big brother has had a total of seventeen charges. And, there are still a full eleven current charges, the most of any trainer in all of Tracen.
Silent Suzuka was the last to join. But unlike the others, she didn't choose him as her charge because no one else wanted her, but because their families were related. Mitsuo Taishi's family was afraid he wouldn't be able to leave Tracen alive, so they asked Suzuka to help take care of him.
And Taishi's own trainer level was not bad, especially since he had handled many horse girls and had far more practical experience than his peers. Plus, they were related and had known each other before, so it was reasonable for him to be her trainer. And he didn't have to worry about her also becoming a member of the heavy track.
Because of this relationship, she immediately became the person with the highest status in the team after joining—this was family, it wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say she was his little sister-in-law, and her strength as a horse girl was far greater than theirs. So, even though Suzuka was not a strong personality, and could even be said to be a bit weak, she was the one and only existence in the entire team who could easily suppress the other horse girls through non-violent means, and was also the only one who could stabilize the situation now. She had to go, and Special Week could only be left to someone else to take care of.
As for why not ask Ms. Grass?
The answer is that they did, but Ms. Grass had gone home to visit her parents and was not at school today. It's just unknown what her expression was when she saw the message. It probably wasn't very good.
As for the teammates...
Tachyon was a good-for-nothing. Digital had to take care of the good-for-nothing.
Oguri had a date with her roommate and was not very good at taking care of people herself.
Because of the previous attack, Teio was still with Rudolf and seemed to be preparing for something, so she couldn't get away for a while.
And Eclipse also said she had something to do and couldn't get away for the time being.
So Suzuka could only hand Special Week over to him.
Fortunately, this was already the seventh day of her learning the new running form. Although her movements were still a bit inconvenient and she still needed someone to take care of her, she had already begun to recover, and at least she could eat by herself.
And, with the loading of the new movement system, Special Week's temperament had also begun to change slightly. Her steps were more stable, and there was a unique aura in her every move. It's just that the fact that she was a simpleton still hadn't changed.
After helping her in and settling her on the sofa, Shinji opened his phone and went to the trainer's chat group, preparing to ask about Taishi's situation.
[Koyoi Ichi: @Shinji Kitahara, just get used to it. He's often in the hospital. He's used to it himself. Just think of it as a paid vacation.]
[Nishiguchi Ei: I think he was admitted four or five times last year. After all... that's a full seventeen charges.]
[Koyoi Ichi: To be honest, it wouldn't be like this if it were just seventeen charges. The problem is him himself, he's a bit too...]
[Koyoi Ichi: I don't know how to say it.]
[Nishiguchi Ei: Indeed.]
[Nishiguchi Ei: I still vaguely remember, at the beginning of last year, he was happily showing off in the group, saying that the children in his team were all very well-behaved and obedient, like his daughters, and that he would send everyone invitations when they got married in the future...]
[Koyoi Ichi: And then the next day he was almost dragged away to be jumped.]
[Shinji Kitahara: ...]
[Shinji Kitahara: So how is he now?]
[Higashimori Yosuke: He's okay. Although the injuries look a bit scary, they are basically superficial. His life is not in danger.]
[Koyoi Ichi: @Higashimori Yosuke, how do you know so clearly?]
[Higashimori Yosuke: Um, I'm in the bed next to him...]
[Koyoi Ichi: ...]
[Nishiguchi Ei: ...]
[Shinji Kitahara: Didn't you just get out? How did you get in again?]
[Higashimori Yosuke: There was a little accident.]
[Shinji Kitahara: ...Related to your charge?]
[Higashimori Yosuke: No, no, I just missed a step when I was going down the stairs and fell.]
[Shinji Kitahara: Not bad.]
[Shinji Kitahara: Wait a minute, you didn't tell your charge this time either, did you?]
[Higashimori Yosuke: Of course not.]
[Higashimori Yosuke: It's not a big deal. I'll be fine after resting for two days. No need to worry her.]
[Koyoi Ichi: ...]
[Nishiguchi Ei: ...]
[Shinji Kitahara: ...]
[Higashimori Yosuke: ?]
[Higashimori Yosuke: What's wrong? Why are you all reacting like this?]
[Higashimori Yosuke: Wait a minute, why is she here—]
And then Higashimori Yosuke never sent another message.
[Shinji Kitahara: Hope he's okay.]
[Koyoi Ichi: Hope his pelvis is okay.]
[Nishiguchi Ei: @Higashimori Yosuke, if you need it, I have a good funeral home I can recommend to you.]
[Fudo Daichi: Hey, hey, hey, the latest issue of the Horse Girl Research Institute report is out. Have you guys seen it?]
[Nishiguchi Ei: Not yet, what's wrong?]
[Fudo Daichi: I saw a rather interesting guess on it, but it said that there is too little data to confirm it, so I wanted to ask if you have any similar situations around you.]
[Koyoi Ichi: What guess?]
[Fudo Daichi: It says that a very small number of horse girls may undergo significant changes in their mentality and personality due to the rapid growth of their bodies and strength after the start of their full-fledged development, and the harbinger of this change is usually reflected in...]
After confirming that Higashimori Yosuke had gone offline, Shinji mourned for three seconds, then put away his phone and didn't read the rest of the messages. On one hand, it was because he had already found out what he wanted to know. On the other hand, it was because something had been added to his lap.
Special Week had originally wanted to sneak up behind him like last time to see what he was up to. But she seemed to have forgotten her current physical condition. Halfway there, her left foot tripped her right foot, and she fell directly into his lap, and he instantly turned off his screen.
The things they talked about in the trainer's group chat were not for children to see.
"I say, Special Week."
Feeling the pressure in his lap, Shinji looked helpless and habitually reached out to rub the small tuft of white hair on her forehead. "Your body is already like this, so stop fooling around. Can't you just sit quietly on the sofa? Get up quickly, I'll help you back."
But this time, Special Week did not immediately respond to his question.
After two seconds of silence, she suddenly looked up at Shinji, a somewhat silly smile appearing on her face. "Ehehe, Shinji-san really hasn't changed at all from before. You still like to rub my hair."
After she finished speaking, Shinji finally noticed what his hand was doing. An embarrassed expression appeared on his face, and he was about to pull his hand back.
But just as he pulled back a little, Special Week's head arched forward, taking the initiative to move under his hand. "If Shinji-san likes it, I don't mind. And I actually really like this feeling too."
"What's there to like about having your hair rubbed?" Shinji looked helpless. "And get up quickly. Don't you have any idea how heavy you are?"
"I'm not talking about having my hair rubbed."
Special Week blinked, her eyes clear, a simple smile on her lips. "I mean I like the feeling of lying in Shinji-san's arms."
"After all, back then, isn't this how you used to lull me to sleep?"
