Chapter 1026: with translation of chapter title

NO. 149: Aomo directly gave up thinking.

As mentioned before, the source of possessiveness in adolescent girls is everywhere—it can be approval, reliance, affection, or even any emotion.

Whether it's Meipu Bourbon or Manchester Tea House, they are girls who entertain themselves in quiet and think on their own, and that's why everyone is quite clear-headed.

Everyone clearly knows that their fondness for Master/Trainer is far from reaching the level of love; indeed, compared to fondness between opposite sexes, it's more like a conceptual yearning.

It is also a longing for some goal.

Such an entrustment can even be purer and deeper than the affection between men and women.

So when Ailisuzhi initially tried to form a clique in the chat room, including Aimu Zhiji, several people had no interest.

The Trainer had a girlfriend, and moreover it was Qi, whom everyone was familiar with; this should have been a good thing. As for the time taken up… apart from the summer cohabitation training, everyone originally only sought the Trainer during school hours.

During rest and holiday time, although they could go play with the Trainer, they more often planned to be with friends they knew, and this was also what the Trainer had always advocated.

Everyone could see that.

The Trainer more than once tried to help everyone expand their social circle, wanting to enrich their lives, and everyone did not let down that effort.

Yuzhao Shizi, Chengtian Road, Miyu, and even Xiao Lin Li Qi, Daho Chiji, Tebie Zhou, etc., would from time to time come to the activity room to visit, occasionally make plans to eat together, and even spend holidays playing and celebrating together.

As for the Trainer gaining a girlfriend and the issue of occupied personal time… when Ailisuzhi typed out such a future in the chat room, the three Duìyou also felt nothing much.

Imagining such a life, it seems no different from the present.

It should be this way, it ought to be this way…

Not to mention a certain someone who ran over to someone else's house a day early to cling to a younger sister, their thoughts showing signs of corruption—a first-rate star.

Manchester Tea House and Meipu Bourbon should have remained as they always were.

Yet this stance underwent a subtle change upon hearing Suzi's 'joke,' and even more so when they saw up close the message from Qi's side that seemed like a provocation.

An indescribable feeling brought about an intuitive displeasure, to the extent that when Suzi tried to pull a prank and joke, the activity room unanimously agreed in one go.

But before the Trainer/Master truly opened the door, several people had already struck their poses, doing what they ought to do, and they were likewise pondering a question:

Is doing this really good?

Setting aside Ailisuzhi's deep understanding of limits—her pranks never crossing the line so she could stay out of trouble—the other three girls also felt this sense of guilt.

Asking themselves, what had he done wrong?

That person had already been going out with the other party, yet even in the face of such an offensive they hadn't done anything; at times like this, let alone playing pranks, we should comfort him.

Everyone's behavior like this is just pure willfulness, right…?

The steady yet sensible Chazuo could still see this point, while the merely mechanically logical Bourbon understood even more clearly that interpersonal relationships are not simply about taking.

As for the person who truly harbors guilt, they too can stay in sync with everyone amidst their random thoughts.

Thus came that prank scene in which Aomo, no matter how he analyzed or projected motives, felt it led nowhere.

In the end, it was still an unwarranted whim.

Had it been the adult Omer, he could have easily brushed it off, without needing to resolve the matter with words demanding everything; but the teenage Omer still tends to dwell on it, unable to let go.

In fact, the possessiveness of adolescent horse girls can be less about ownership and more about winning.

This is exactly what Chiaki told Akane yesterday: "Horse girls always have a strong competitive spirit."

Even though that displeasure hasn't yet taken real nourishment, hasn't truly grown into a towering tree of possessiveness that could add a skill tag to the horse girls' source‑energy test, at this moment the few horse girls dragging several tires across the training field, pushing forward with effort.

They all unconsciously direct their eyes toward that 'boy' trainer standing at the sidelines.

Some were thinking about how to make amends, some about how to apologize, some about how to explain yesterday's actions, and others were just wondering whether the guinea pig would retaliate once he recovered.

Everyone crossed the finish line amid that chaotic tangle of thoughts, and then met the trainer's incredulous stare.

Are you all daydreaming? You're 28 seconds slower than last time—take a ten‑minute break and try again!

If you have any issues affecting your condition, you can consult me; if it's inconvenient, see Bai Ren; if neither works, just don't worry about it—focus on the present training! During team training camp, he always adopts the strict style he uses when training with Bourbon, saying, "We'll figure something out after training ends!"

... Hmm.

Understood.

Okay.

Hey hey, guinea pig, aren't you going to talk about why my roommate came?

Among the crowd, the standout—aka the one who says 'I'll dare again next time'—Akari Speedo watches her roommate standing before Narita Bai Ren, smiling and wringing her hands.

Those who don't know might think that Akari Digital is being bullied by Narita Bai Ren.

But as Akari Digital's roommate, Speedo also frequently observes her, and she knows very well that this is just Digital's usual behavior.

When dealing with most horse girls, she assumes a low stance—the higher the other's fame and performance, the lower she positions herself, and face‑to‑face she becomes nervous and jumpy; only with a handful of very close friends does she let her guard down. That's Akari Digital.

A horse girl who sees herself as an otaku who supports all horse girls.

He actually performs quite well in tests and trials, and she once had high hopes for him, thinking he could help her with her extreme‑speed experiments, yet he always ends up timid and hesitant.

In a way, Akari Speedo even feels that Digital-kun is more like a guinea pig than the actual guinea pig.

After all, her startled, cute demeanor is quite hamster‑like.

"It's what Karen brought, as for the reason..."

Omer glanced at the genuinely clever person who was smiling and chatting with Chaza and Aiori, hoping the big break would end soon.

Middle schoolers should still be going to class—just look at how obedient the new cosmos that Justice picks up and drops off daily are.

Akari Speedo didn't know what he was comparing in his head, but after a glance her mind raced: "Oh, is that your account?"

From their first meeting, Akari Speedo noticed Omer Linton's unusual understanding of horse girls, and following that clue she uncovered some leads.

After all, the biggest social forum for horse girls is just that one, and the accounts that produce results there are almost all real‑named.

And the anonymous accounts aren't hard to uncover by checking them one by one.

She also understands that the trainer doesn't want to be exposed—whether he's joking or occasionally blurting out harsh words, he never brings this up.

After all, she is the horse girl who most directly displays possessiveness under Omer's command.

Tunshu Jun being able to take her away from boring folks really reveals that past interpersonal relationships were actually bad for herself.

Occasionally chatting in the dorm with Shumajun, when Umastar came up, the latter's utterly straightforward regret and wistfulness also made her feel quite troublesome.

But now, what the heck is that clever person up to!

"Past troubles you've stirred up, showing up now is only natural," Compared to the openly dissatisfied Ailisuzhi, Aomo merely gave a slight nod, acknowledging Suzi's guess: "I just hope it won't be too troublesome; Karen isn't a child who doesn't know their limits, perhaps they just want Shu Zi Lao Shi to know me."

"No problem?"

"No problem, you also know her tendencies; I'd already thought this was bound to happen sooner or later, I just didn't expect things to keep happening one after another lately."

"Want me to directly ask what your sister is thinking?"

"Not troublesome?"

"You'll even drink that morning concoction; asking you to help is nothing, but hey, Tunshujun, haven't you cooked for me in a few days?"

"... Sorry, I don't feel like cooking for now."

"Obviously I still made a big feast yesterday! Qianjun even took photos!"

"That's exactly why I don't want to cook."

"Then give me a massage! This afternoon, in the activity room."

After thinking back to how they couldn't resist before and had pressed a few times, Aomo agreed: "……Can."

"All right, it's set! I also want to take a photo and send it to Qianjun."

"Massage and photos… Although they could tell this was meant to create a vibe of misunderstanding toward the other person, they still found it quite meaningless."

"Given their mutual understanding, such a misunderstanding isn't meaningful either."

"... You guys had a fight?"

"Not really, just seeing her cause me trouble, I ought to give her a lesson!"

"……"

"He always felt there was some logic, yet it was also very abnormal logic; Aomo, trying to understand, gave up after ten seconds."
