Since parting from the old horse girl's clothing store on Saturday, Shinji had thought he would have no more contact with these two heavyweights.
Logically speaking, they were both still young, hadn't even started their full-fledged development, and weren't Tracen students. The only chance to meet them was at the old horse girl's place. And there, although he would go once every Saturday, most of the time he had to discuss various serious matters about horse girl clothing with the old horse girl. And these two little ones both had their own family situations and couldn't just wait for him there all the time.
And most importantly, there was no reason.
Kitasan was one thing. Although her family had some influence, because it was rather special, it didn't have much connection with Tracen. So it was normal for her to be curious about the situation inside Tracen and to ask an outside trainer about it.
But Satono Diamond was the young lady of the Satono family. Her family had quite a few dealings with the main Tracen campus. In fact, many trainers who left Tracen went to work for the industries under her family's name. She had only gone to the old horse girl's clothing store to accompany Kitasan. She herself had no interest in the situation inside Tracen. You could clearly feel that during the conversation. How could there be any reason to go a second time? Then naturally, there would be no possibility of further contact.
But now...
Looking at the two little ones who had suddenly appeared in front of him, Shinji forced a smile, his voice trembling slightly. "What brings you two here?"
"Dia-chan..."
Kitasan had just started to speak when Satono on the other side suddenly spoke up, interrupting her. "It's like this. Kitasan and I will be enrolling here next year if there are no accidents, so we thought we'd come over to familiarize ourselves with the place in advance. We didn't expect to run into you here."
Satono's gaze was still a little nervous, but her words were graceful and proper, a reasonable explanation.
It's just that this explanation made Kitasan's eyes fill with confusion.
Huh? Didn't you say you wanted to come find Mr. Kitahara? How did it suddenly become just looking around Tracen?
However, although she was very confused in her heart, looking at Satono's eyes, Kitasan ultimately couldn't bring herself to ask the question and could only swallow it back down.
And it wasn't just Kitasan who was confused. After hearing Satono's words, Shinji also raised an eyebrow.
Next year?
But that's not right. These two little ones looked to be at the level of elementary school students at most. It would be a stretch to say they were in the sixth grade; fourth or fifth grade seemed more likely. And Tracen only had a middle school and a high school division, which meant the youngest who could transfer in were at least middle school students. These two didn't seem to fit the bill at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought before that it would be impossible for him to have any contact with these two before he ran out of the main Tracen campus.
As if seeing the doubt in his eyes, Satono showed a slightly shy smile and then explained, "Although most horse girls' growth is similar to human females, a very small number will experience slow growth before their full-fledged development, and then rapid development after it starts. Kitasan and I are like that, so we might look a little younger."
He had actually heard of this situation before. And because it was said that such horse girls would have greater potential for full-fledged development and growth, some horse girl families would even deliberately suppress the growth of promising seedlings before their full-fledged development. He figured Satono was probably like that.
And the moment he thought of this, a sense of danger and unease instantly filled his heart. His heart even started to beat faster, just afraid that these two would say next, "Could we ask you, Mr. Kitahara, to be our trainer?".
Fortunately, this fear did not become a reality.
And not only did they not invite him to be their trainer, but the process and content of their conversation with him were also very normal. He could even vaguely sense that Satono seemed to be deliberately keeping her distance from him.
This made Shinji breathe a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, as expected of a young lady from a prestigious family. She had seen through the essence of this slacker trainer at a glance. The heart that had been hanging high also began to slowly fall back down.
That's what I thought. I'm not some kind of horse girl catnip. How could every dangerous horse girl like me?
Someone like Satono, who, although she knows me, will also deliberately keep her distance, and even be a little distant, is normal.
It's just that he didn't know that the reason she was keeping her distance from him now was simply because she had realized, through summarizing previous information, that he didn't seem to like to have contact with horse girls with family influence, especially those from big families, so she was deliberately acting this way.
As for her own wishes... It couldn't be said to be very eager, just to the extent that if she had the chance now, she would want him to sign a charge contract.
Then, after a simple chat, Satono, using the reason that they had known each other before, asked him to show them around the academy.
Shinji had originally wanted to refuse on the grounds that he still had to supervise the trainers under his name.
But looking at the expectant eyes of the two little children, plus the fact that he really didn't have much to do, and seeing that Diamond-bro didn't seem to have any designs on him, after thinking for a while, he couldn't refuse.
The other horse girls on his team didn't show any reaction to this. After all, Satono and Kitasan looked too young right now. They might not even grow to a threatening stage even after their own three-year period was over, so they just let him leave.
The subsequent stroll around the campus was very ordinary.
Because of the return of Tazuna and the main campus security team, the security and environment on campus now were completely different from the first two weeks. Let alone strange noises coming from certain places, even the charges and trainers walking on the road rarely showed intimacy under so many watchful eyes. It could be said to be extremely wholesome—at least on the surface.
As for what was happening in private...
The abandoned warehouse, the trainers' dorms, and some private spots that the main campus security team had tacitly allowed—he had led the two little ones to avoid them all without leaving a trace, to prevent some unpleasant sounds or even scenes from polluting their pure hearts.
And speaking of which, some friends might question, since the Green Hat and the main campus security team were back, how could they still tolerate such things in broad daylight? Is this Tracen some kind of combination of a matchmaking service and a man-eating den under the guise of a school?
To this, Shinji could tell you very clearly.
It is.
But not entirely.
In fact, although a large part of the trainers at the main campus called this place a terrifying man-eating den, and all showed great reluctance to have too much contact with horse girls, this was only the case when dealing with outsiders.
As for their own charges, although there might be some accidents sometimes, although the other party would throw a tantrum and act up from time to time, and although they might even be hospitalized because of the other party, except for a very few examples, every single trainer at the main campus doted on their own charge. In more serious cases, they might even immediately turn hostile if someone said a few bad words about them.
This might sound strange. After all, during the previous meeting, some trainers had been tormented to such an extent, and their eyes had even lit up when they saw the Green Hat return. How could they still have such good feelings for their own charges?
That's just being unromantic.
Just by the simplest reasoning, if the relationship between a trainer and their charge was really not good, would they have been tormented to such an extent?
To be blunt, the reason the atmosphere at the main campus had become like this, although the horse girls were definitely responsible for a large part of it, the trainers were also definitely not blameless. In fact, they might even be more to blame—because they were the ones who had spoiled them!
No, "spoiled" is not the right word. It should be said that it was a result of competition.
It is said that when Tracen was first established, the atmosphere in the school was very good, and the relationship between trainers and their charges was also relatively normal. Everyone would clock in and out on time. After finishing the basic guidance, they would still have time to go to an izakaya with their colleagues for a drink.
But slowly, from some point in time, the situation began to change.
At first, this change was very subtle. It was just that some trainers would train for an extra half an hour or an hour after the stipulated training time. Then the other trainers began to follow suit. Then it was you add half an hour, I add an hour, he adds two hours, and so on, and they slowly started to compete.
But no matter how much they competed in training, time is limited, and excessive training also has its dangers. So, after some thought, the trainers realized that they could no longer stick to this track and had to compete in other areas.
At first, the aspects they chose were relatively conservative, like helping their charge formulate a diet plan, or taking their charge out for a big meal after a victory. The most extreme was just taking them on a trip to relax when they failed or were in a bad mood.
This might sound a little dangerous already, but what was more dangerous was that this had set a bad precedent: trainers began to get involved in the daily lives of their charges outside of training, and then slowly, this exception evolved into the norm.
And after that...
Compete, you can compete in anything.
Today you accompanied your charge for a meal and made her mood better, then I'll accompany her for all three meals a day.
Today your charge looked very happy after you patted her head after a victory, then I'll just pick her up and spin her around a few times.
Today you went over to take care of your charge every day because she's not good at daily life, then I'll just rent a place outside and take her in for close personal care, so that she can focus more on training and be in a better state, and then crush you lazy dogs in the race...
Huh? Wait a minute, charge, this is my room. And your eyes seem a little strange...
You, what do you want to do? Don't come near me, ahhh—
That's basically the process.
And to be honest, if the trainer's will was strong enough, it wouldn't be so easy for the charge to jump the trainer. After all, even if their physical fitness was so strong, humans are ultimately creatures that rely on their brains. If they were really determined to use any means necessary to prevent such a thing, it was completely possible.
Conventional methods would be like preparing some self-defense items, like strong irritant sprays. Unconventional methods would be like potions that suppress instincts. Although using them too much might have an impact on the future, they could be used as an emergency measure.
And even if they were jumped, if the trainer really couldn't accept it and reported it to the Chairwoman's office, although they wouldn't go through the external process due to various factors, Tracen also had a corresponding set of internal handling methods. Not only would they take quite severe punishment against the horse girl involved, but they would also provide protection for the victimized trainer.
And these measures were by no means a facade, but had real and proper effects. Otherwise, if they really let the horse girls ride roughshod over the trainers as they appeared to on the surface without taking any action, the morale of Tracen would have long since collapsed.
But the problem is, trainers are also human, and their hearts are also made of flesh.
From the initial first meeting, to getting to know each other, to becoming familiar, in the many years, almost everything was experienced by the two of them together.
Training, life, the distance between the two slowly shortened, and then they went to participate in various races, cheering together in victory, and relying on each other for comfort in defeat. During this period, it was inevitable that there would be all sorts of contact.
At the very least, if your charge is crying her eyes out after losing a race, you can't just do nothing, right?
And once there is contact, the boundary between the two will naturally begin to blur, and even slowly become a habit and the norm.
The trainers who were already adults were fine. They knew how to restrain their emotions, so even if there was some movement in their hearts, they basically wouldn't show it. So in the end, it was usually the charge who took the initiative to attack.
But even if the charge took the initiative to attack, most trainers could still restrain themselves, and even bluntly refuse. But no matter how much they restrained themselves, no matter how bluntly they refused, it was ultimately just a stopgap measure, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
If they didn't change their way of getting along, that feeling would eventually continue to accumulate, and then one day, it would be detonated by some trigger.
But even if it was detonated, even if they were pinned to the bed, many trainers could still maintain their restraint and try to communicate with their charge. More extreme ones might even resort to scolding or even violence. But they didn't do this because they were worried about their chastity or anything, but for the sake of their charge's future.
And after being treated like this, the horse girls generally couldn't continue.
After all, horse girls are not really perverts who don't care about anything and just want to do that. They also cherish their trainers and the relationship between them. It's just that the long-suppressed feelings had erupted, and they had acted on impulse. Being able to go this far had already exhausted all their courage.
After being treated like this again, after the impulsive courage had faded, what was left was only confusion and panic. Most of them would just cry directly, and the ones who didn't cry wouldn't be in a much better state.
And then, it would be the trainers' turn to break down.
You have to know, forget about crying, they usually treated them like they were holding them in their hands for fear of dropping them, and holding them in their mouths for fear of them melting.
It was fine when they were happy. If they made a mistake in training or lost a race, even though they might be even sadder than them in their hearts, they still had to force themselves to be cheerful to take care of and comfort them.
Even if they were in a slightly bad mood, they had to find a way to cheer them up, so that they wouldn't make a mistake in the race because of their mood.
It wasn't just the horse girls who were relying on the trainers. For most trainers, their charge was also everything in these three years, and not just in terms of interests, but also in terms of emotional companionship.
After all, with all the competition, who still has the time to go out and socialize?
When the charge was being aggressive, they could still maintain their rationality. But when the charge started crying, it was generally difficult for the trainers to continue to maintain a tough attitude.
Even if they didn't just comfort them and go with the flow on the spot, after such a beginning, it would be difficult to withstand the subsequent offensive, and it would only be a matter of time before they fell.
And, besides being soft-hearted, internal competition was also an important reason for the trainers to break down.
To give a simple example, two teams of similar strength. The trainer next door broke down and was jumped, and was lovey-dovey with his charge all day. Her mood was always perfect, and her state in training and races was better.
And on your side, you weren't jumped. Your charge looks at the operation next door all day, and then looks at your own situation.
A bad mood can easily lead to her acting up, a decline in training effectiveness, and poor performance in races. And then she just stares at you with a resentful gaze all day. So, do you jump or not?
As for a shattered pelvis, that was purely an accident.
After all, horse girls generally have three times the physical fitness of ordinary people. It's normal for them to use too much force when they get excited, and it's even more common to leave some marks.
In fact, even if it's not a trainer, it's not uncommon for ordinary horse girl spouses to end up in the hospital. There are even related medical discount policies and subsidies in this regard.
And although horse girls look small and cute, their weight has always been a mystery. Although not as exaggerated as their physical fitness, they are definitely heavier than conventional human females.
Not to mention, the horse girls who can become a charge are generally in their full-fledged development period. Their strength is growing rapidly. Even in normal times, there are times when they can't control this sudden increase in strength. If their emotions get excited again, then it would be abnormal if an accident didn't happen.
And all of this, the cause of everything, originated from some unknown trainer, who, after finishing work many years ago, for some unknown reason, started extra training.
Perhaps it was because he was late, perhaps it was because he had trained a little less during work hours, or perhaps he was just simply bored.
But in any case, his unconscious internal competition behavior had opened Pandora's box and created the current situation.
And to this, Shinji's evaluation was...
Serves them right.
You all asked for it. Now you've all gotten yourselves into it, haven't you? Isn't slacking off better?
While complaining in his mind about the various ridiculous operations of the Extremely Competitive main campus, Shinji finished his simple tour of the campus environment with the two little ones.
Nothing unexpected happened during the tour, and although Kitasan was very enthusiastic towards him, Satono, on the contrary, seemed very distant, and could even be described as cold and resistant.
Seeing Satono's performance, the last bit of worry in Shinji's heart began to slowly dissipate.
Until after the tour of the school, he personally sent them out of the main gate of Tracen. Looking at Satono, whose attitude towards him still hadn't improved at all when they left, and was even colder and more distant than at the beginning, his sense of security reached its peak, and he was even a little happy.
His relationship with Teio was maintained at a pure monetary level. Ms. Grass's side had also become good brothers on the same front. Rudolf's side was currently at negative affection. And now even Satono had clearly shown him coldness and distance...
When he had just joined Tracen, he was still worried about what would happen if he had contact with these four. After all, the academy was only so big. You see them whether you look up or down. There would always be a chance to meet them in three years.
But now it seemed that even if he did have contact with them, and many had even joined his team, it didn't necessarily mean it was dangerous.
At the very least, wasn't his relationship and distance with them all maintained quite well now? And everyone was also behaving very amicably and normally. Forget about overturning, he was now a little suspicious whether his previous worries were superfluous.
Because from the current situation, these little horse girls were really each more well-behaved and sensible than the last. When he told them to train, they trained. When he told them to diet, they dieted. They were even easier to manage than human cubs. It was simply too worry-free.
Looking back like this, Shinji felt more and more that his hope of passing these three years peacefully had increased a lot.
He looked up at the sun in the distance. Although it had already begun to slowly set, he seemed to see his own bright and promising future in it.
