The next morning, Tokai Teio was curled up on Luo Cheng's chest like a kitten. Her eyes were closed, her cute little face was flushed, and she breathed in and out, blowing on Luo Cheng's neck. Brown strands of hair were stuck to her forehead, and a faint blush remained on her smooth, rounded shoulders.
Luo Cheng looked at the clock on the wall; it was already nine in the morning. His concept of time had grown a little hazy.
He rubbed his eyes. The "squeaking" noises had lasted until after midnight. Teio's mouth kept muttering, "Trainer... compensate me... compensate me a little more... mmm!" The compensation was proving to be difficult to give.
Luo Cheng noticed that Teio's tolerance was much stronger than before. If the initial Teio was a new girlfriend who was satisfied with just holding hands and kissing, the current Teio was a girl in love, experiencing withdrawal symptoms if she didn't get "intimate" several times a week. Teio was in her passionate phase, and her body would tremble from withdrawal if he tried to stop her.
This might be related to her victory. She was ecstatic after winning with overwhelming strength, and she definitely needed to release that excitement. Luo Cheng couldn't remember when he finally fell asleep, but judging by the feeling of his dreams, the rest of the night was probably Teio's solo performance. The drawbacks of the real world were becoming apparent; without the ability to reset, Luo Cheng was clearly out of his depth.
Looking at the petite and adorable girl, Luo Cheng reached out and stroked her head. Slowly, Tokai Teio opened her sky-blue eyes. His face was reflected in her clear pupils. She yawned, wrapped her arms around Luo Cheng's neck, and snuggled against him. Her fair thighs rubbed lightly against his body.
"Time to get up, Teio."
"Mmm..." she whined lazily, straightening her ears and covering Luo Cheng's mouth.
He opened his mouth and bit the tip of her ear. It was soft and furry, like a peach.
"Eep~ Let me sleep, Trainer..."
"We have an interview later. What if we're late?"
"An interview... an interview isn't as important as my, Teio-sama's, sleep..."
If she had a stamina bar, Teio's would definitely be in the "sleep deprived" state.
"What time did you finally fall asleep last night?"
"I don't know... but the sky was almost bright outside when I looked up."
Seriously? Teio had been at it all night? What was she even doing when he was all out of energy?
Regardless, Luo Cheng had to proceed with the story. He picked up Tokai Teio and placed her on the side of the bed before getting up to make breakfast. Teio clung to him, not letting go until he kissed her cheek. Only then did she reluctantly release her grip, her eyes still closed. She hugged Luo Cheng's pillow and curled up under the covers. The tip of her tail, poking out from the blanket, wagged back and forth with the sound of the microwave turning on. Finally, she couldn't stand the noise and poked her head out. She had thoroughly "tasted" her Trainer from head to toe before falling asleep, and now she was incredibly sleepy.
But, to be fair, the Trainer's scent was something she could never get enough of, especially...
Sizzle!
Luo Cheng put two sausages and two eggs on the frying pan. Tokai Teio's lips curled into a smile. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. Now, the Trainer smelled like her all over. In other words, he had completely become her possession, and she could use him however she wanted from now on.
"Eat this sandwich, and then we'll go to the training track."
Tokai Teio listlessly lay on the table. When Luo Cheng brought the food over, she opened her mouth.
"Ah~"
Luo Cheng fed her. Tokai Teio's eyebrows perked up, and her energy level visibly improved.
Luo Cheng looked at the sandwich in his hand. He was curious if these cheat-like items from the game world also had an effect in the real world.
After eating, Tokai Teio went to the bathroom to splash some water on her face, and she was finally back to full health.
"Let's go, Trainer! It's time to announce Teio's feats to the world!" She put her hands on her hips and grabbed Luo Cheng's hand, pulling him out the door.
"Wait, I haven't changed yet..."
"You look fine just the way you are, Trainer!"
Arriving at the training track, Luo Cheng saw a group of reporters interviewing the horse girls. Among them was the Trainer, Fumino.
"So handsome~"
"Trainer Fumino, look over here!"
A crowd of onlookers gathered, waving fans like a fan club. The woman in a suit, with her training notebook in hand, stood in front of the camera, answering reporters' questions.
Luo Cheng stood to the side. Fumino's gaze shifted and her eyebrows raised slightly when she saw him.
"Well, I should go train my horse girls now."
"Yes, sorry for the interruption, Trainer Fumino." The reporter bowed his head. Fumino walked over to Luo Cheng.
"Why are you dressed like that?"
"I woke up late."
"This is going to be seen by audiences all over the world." Fumino straightened Luo Cheng's collar.
"Trainer is very handsome. It's fine for the whole world to see him!" Teio said, grabbing Luo Cheng's hand and addressing Fumino.
"Well, I guess so. If you have any questions during training, come find me. I saw Teio's race. Trainer Luo Cheng, you've put a lot of hard work into her."
"It's nothing."
"Of course it's something! I'm the Trainer's best horse girl!" Tokai Teio put her hands on her hips. "No one is better than me!"
"Teio seems very confident."
"Hehe, with me and Trainer together, nothing is impossible!" Teio said, leaning against Luo Cheng. Fumino gave them a slightly strange look. The reporters nearby asked, "Are you Tokai Teio and Trainer Luo Cheng?"
"They're calling us," Luo Cheng said, waving to Fumino. "I have a few questions for you about training later."
"Anytime."
During the interview, the reporters asked, "What is your goal, Tokai Teio?"
"An undefeated Triple Crown!" She held up a finger. "My goal is the Chairman!"
"So you want to be a horse girl like Rudolf, huh? With your current strength, you certainly have the potential for an undefeated Triple Crown. Trainer Luo Cheng, I'm sure you have a lot of confidence in Teio too."
"Yes, I will train her to be a horse girl who surpasses Rudolf."
"Surpasses..."
"Rudolf?"
A murmur of whispers spread through the crowd.
"Trainer, hehe... well, in that case, I'll have no choice. I'll surpass Chairman Rudolf and become a true Teio!"
"Then what is your goal for the next race, Trainer Luo Cheng?"
"The Satsuki Sho. I'll have Teio win with a record-breaking time."
"A record-breaking time?" This surprised even the reporters. Hearing such a bold statement from a rookie Trainer was truly audacious. Even Tokai Teio was shocked. But after seeing the look on Luo Cheng's face, she wiped her nose.
"That's right! I, Teio-sama, will win with a record-breaking time! Just you all watch how awesome I am!" Tokai Teio said, laughing heartily.
Luo Cheng held Tokai Teio's hand. Even with Teio's current strength, challenging the Satsuki Sho wasn't a problem. Just now, Luo Cheng suddenly realized something: to unlock all the systems, he had to break from the routine and have the horse girls do things they had never done before.
