Chapter 1326: NO．230：What evil thoughts could Chazuo have?

NO．230：What evil thoughts could Chazuo have?

【Yuehuanshe: Indeed it's related to her, but perhaps it's more my own problem.】

【Shensui Kafei: Huh?】

【Yuehuanshe: Have you ever taken someone's joke too seriously? Chazuo】

【Shensui Kafei: ……I feel that Suzi's every word sounds serious; does that count as taking it too seriously?】

【Yuehuanshe: ……Perhaps not, it's hard to say how much truth is mixed in her jokes, um… Anyway, what I want to say is… specifics are hard to mention, but you could try contacting her and meeting her again?】

【Shensui Kafei: Is there a message that needs to be passed?】

【Yuehuanshe: No, it's not needed; passing a message itself carries responsibility, this is not an action to be lightly undertaken, and if a situation arises it would add room for self-blame.】

I think……

You just need to greet her as usual and then briefly describe her situation to me.

【Shensui Kafei: …Like a spirit being commanded?】

【Yuehuanshe: Hmm? Ah, if you feel offended, please allow me to apologize.】

【Shensui Kafei: No, just…… Trainer, do you distrust your elder sister that much?】

【Yuehuanshe: To be frank, I believe in her virtue and stance, and even more that she would not do anything harmful to everyone, but……

This matter and the above are not topics of the same domain.】

【Shensui Kafei: …Well, like that.】

【Yuehuanshe: If you can accept it, then it couldn't be better

It might also confuse your mind; if you feel guilty about briefly describing the situation, you don't have to, this is my request of you, and then I will take full responsibility.】

【Shensui Kafei: ……Trainer】

【Yuehuanshe: Please speak】

【Shensui Kafei: Too formal, not like the usual trainer】

【Yuehuanshe: After all this involves privacy, and not just mine alone, but also hers and yours, who knows her; I don't want my affairs to cause a rift between you and her, although this may perhaps be unavoidable】

If everything is a misunderstanding, even if I take all responsibility upon myself, the fact that Chazuo helps himself rather than the other party remains unchanged; this is inevitably a snag, letting him ponder a bit and then tap.

【Yuehuanshe: So after about two times, you can reveal this commission to her and tell her……】

Yuehuanshe withdrew a message.

【Shensui Kafei: Trainer!】

【Yuehuanshe: No, I think I made a mistake, I insulted our relationship; please allow me to sincerely apologize, and also please give me a chance to make amends after the match】

Let Chazuo appropriately reveal the information, putting on a show of defecting in the heat of battle; while that may stabilize their impression, it could also be seen through by your elder sister.

Using such a petty trick before a veteran female general is not wise, but even less wise is letting Chazuo 'betray' himself in exchange for the stability he thinks she desires——

——This is a dangerous attitude; even if he reacts promptly, he will still face the other party's rare exclamation mark.

But even so, when he turns his head to gaze into the distance, that glimmer akin to light in the darkness does not far off cast an angry gaze.

Those eyes merely lower to stare at the phone, and in the rapid flickering they display the latest concern on the screen beside him.

【Shensui Kafei: You need to rest】

She used honorifics, but rather than a distant demeanor, it seemed more like she was rushing out of her usual pattern.

In the Far East, the tradition of consistently using honorifics in interpersonal relations has long influenced many people's habits, whether seen as insincere or humble.

Including the horse girls, Aomo has long been greeted with honorifics by many students on campus; among them, the impolite Ailisuzhi upon meeting is still a rare flower.

【Yuehuanshe: ……Indeed】

Although I wanted to say that Suzi's bottle of medicine has already dispelled mental fatigue, Aomo also knows well that someone who has just committed such a principled error has no right to say that.

Furthermore, saying things like 'it's for your own good' or 'worry makes a mess' only looks ugly.

Having come to this point, it might be good to accept the step offered by Chazuo.

Admitting that his mind is not clear makes it easier for everyone to accept; although this would shatter the trainer's image of steel will, eternally rational and flawless, frankly speaking, he doesn't even know he ever had such an image, and seeing those forum folks discuss it still feels strange.

He only knows that over these years he has constantly strained himself to support, and even so he hasn't made few mistakes; along the way he has often caused big problems, leading to those memory blanks, and leading to occasionally being sought out by the past.

This year has indeed been smooth and satisfactory in many matters, but with the Morrison affair looming in the middle, it's hard to call it satisfactory, let alone the present.

In December, at this year-end time, having such an affair carries a hint of uncertain old age; even if a special drug blocked the moment of sudden illness, he likewise, only able amidst many doubtful gazes, arranged for Qianming to look after the girls in his place, calling himself unwell and leaving early.

This arrangement seems unproblematic in everyone's eyes, after all, among the trio of adult horse girls, Qianming's role is inherently the most special.

This specialness lies in her having the highest seniority and the poorest physique.

The number of full-effort runs she can sustain is not many, and her daily training is not about reckless sprinting; rather, it aims to maintain a long-term exercise level above a standard to guarantee her condition.

This also means she is the lowest-intensity trainer in the team; to ensure the long-term training effect remains stable, she even must be forced to rest regularly and maintain her hoof quality, often giving Ailisuzhi a complex look.

Whether it's seeing her own end or reaffirming her resolve to make medicine, I don't know.

However, this does not mean Qianming is some kind of frail constitution; rather, it's that at this stage the horse girls run so wildly and vigorously that it reveals an innate deficiency.

And when she doesn't run, she is again that lively, active free-spirited girl of everyday.

Furthermore, adding her observation and thought processes akin to Aomo's, she is clearly the most suitable member to serve as interim trainer.

So regarding this arrangement, even though Suzi, who dislikes Qianming the most, has no objection, she merely looks with the other teammates at the trainer's retreating back until he turns the distant corner, only then does she first turn her head to look at Chazuo.

"What did he say to you?"

This inevitably caused Tianlangxing and Bairen to give him surprised glances; they had never before noticed Chazuo's silent reticence, nor paid attention to his posture of burying his head and fiddling with his phone.

On the contrary, old teammates like Aizhi and Bopang, who usually stick with Chazuo, would occasionally glance at the lone Chazuo standing not far away, and also look at that distant small trainer who likewise does not conceal pressing on empty air.

"The trainer is very exhausted… everyone has been pressing him too hard lately……"

"Huh? How could I have pressured him?" Miss Suzi, naturally unable to accept such an 'accusation', instinctively lifted her eyes to the three seniors whose gazes were dodging.

Given her usual character, she ought to have fired off a few sharp, piercing sarcasms at this point, but instead she broke from habit, did not seize the opportunity to jab, and instead suspiciously looked back and turned her gaze again to Chazuo.

"Is he really because of our pressure?"

In her impression, Tunshu Jun might have a day of being overwhelmed, but it definitely wouldn't be due to work pressure.

That guy is a work expert with higher completion than JunChuan JiangSheng; work only fuels his motivation and fighting spirit. You'd better say it's because, similar to these three guys, it's mixed with some personal desires.

As a fan of horse girls, what pressure could that guy possibly get from these three?

Could it be that one of them secretly confessed? That would surely make Tunshu Jun look like the world is ending.

But that is obviously far off.

She looked back again, scrutinizing the three; her fierce gaze somehow made the three feel bewildered, until Chazuo beside them spoke softly:

"I'm not sure if it's major or minor, but it definitely takes up a significant proportion..."

But it's not all of it.

But is that important? No.

This isn't something they can interfere with; it will only hinder the current training.

Suzi didn't blame the seniors, and Bopang and Aizhi just remained silent.

Such a temporarily low but non-attacking atmosphere is the best she can achieve; whether welcoming the Dream Cup or next month's competition, there's no problem.

What matters is the current trainer, who shouldn't have so much interference.

Thinking of this, her gaze returned once more to the distant place where the other had disappeared.

That deep and black object, even if it trembles and sways, still attracts her in that way, even adding a touch of peculiar vividness at this moment, inevitably stirring a hint of longing in her heart……

She wanted to look a bit longer.
