Chapter 1404: line with translation of chapter title

No. 20: Fainting during teleportation is a dormitory shackle.

"Actually, Aizhi was quite clingy when she was little; even when sleeping she had to hold my hand, otherwise she would grab her own tail."

"Oh? That really isn't noticeable at all."

"I know, I know! Sister Orihime still has this habit to this day."

In the course of conversation, the aunt switched to a new fruit platter mixed with carrot shavings, while the two young guests occasionally glanced at their phones, clearly heavily dependent on electronic devices.

But generally, because they have a daughter whose reactions are always overly aloof, the couple doesn't mind the daughter's classmate occasionally poking at their phone.

【Start an experiment: Hey, you, when are you planning to go back?】

【Curren~?: Huh? This is Orihime-chan's house, right? If you're going back, it's you who should go back, right?】

"Is this photo from winter? Orihime-kun's outfit is really hard to judge, huh."

After finishing typing, they then reused the photo album; the abrupt tug-of-war in Miss Suzi's topic unexpectedly made the uncle and aunt quite pleased.

"Yeah, Aizhi this child has been cold-resistant since she was little; at first we thought she was just showing off, but she actually managed to wear two fewer pieces than others all the time; back then her dad almost didn't give her a chance to prove it, and now I wonder if we initially trusted her too little."

"How old was that girl back then? Really, sending her to freeze in ice and snow to prove cold resistance is the problem! I also want to say the girl's mom is too indulgent, really making you two laugh."

"I always thought it was Sister Orihime's talent as a horse girl! After all, I'm not that cold-resistant."

"The talent of horse girls varies from person to person, little brother; like your sister's talent lies in cold resistance and stubbornness, and even among the many horse girls under the trainer, only Narita White Ren can be compared."

"Hey! Is that Narita White Ren? The one Dad took me to see when I was little!"

"You haven't grown up much either, have you…"

"That's when she was really little!"

【Start an experiment: How could we possibly let Guinea Pig-kun stay here alone! You guy and that self-abusing guinea pig are definitely scheming something in secret!】

【Curren~?: What's the problem with Karen and Orihime-chan wanting to spend more time with big brother? Actually, even if there really is some scheming, you can't do anything about it now~ Miss Suzi】

【Start an experiment: Your speech is really overstepping, should we let the senior know?】

【Curren~?: You can't even catch up to go find Orihime-chan's brother; you need to figure out who the extra person here is!】

【Start an experiment: What's there to follow? You wouldn't think that self-abusing guinea pig could actually defeat Guinea Pig-kun, would you?

On the other hand, Guinea Pig-kun might need to give her a good lecture! This guy is also quite an awkward presence in Guinea Pig-kun's current horse girl team.

Although they have newly set a goal, the change in their conduct is too small; frankly, this kind of realization always seems nonsensical in Ailisuzhi's eyes—like shouting empty slogans but not knowing how to act when asked; in short, they just think about doing it, completely lacking any decent self-planning.

People like this can only mess up experiments terribly.

【Curren~?:? What does that mean?】

【Start an experiment: Hmm, do I need to tell you? The earliest little girl who betrayed the Union】

【Curren~?: Huh? Isn't the Union just about advocating fair competition? Where does the betrayal come from—could it be that Senior Suzi keeps relying on her 'responsibility' title to boss around the brother, creating an illusion, truly believing the brother is her property?

A woman who only causes trouble for the brother is really unpleasant to look at~

"Speaking seriously, what's the use of saying these things now?" The uncle shook his head, looking at the wife who always brings up the past, "That kid has already come out, even found a trainer; right, Xiao Aili, that young person is your assigned trainer, right? Are there many such external-region trainers in the Central?"

"Yeah, he's my assigned trainer," gazing at Zhenjiling, only in the word 'assigned' does Ailisuzhi pronounce it slightly heavier, she turned back and continued: "The Central has one-quarter external-region trainers, right? Hongying has the highest proportion, then Anmei, while the trainers stationed in Bade are rather far down the list."

"There aren't many Bade trainers in the Central; my impression is no more than ten."

Actually it's eight, and she knows the exact number.

Although she usually doesn't pay attention to this matter at all, after hearing that the trainer of Rongjin Shinyo and Guinea Pig-kun get along well, Ailisuzhi also happened to look up these people's files.

At first it was just a casual glance, and she didn't think it needed much attention; however, after meeting Hollehaiya, she couldn't help but accept the reality that Guinea Pig-kun is quite attractive to older women, and she also thinks that even the current Isamara and Ling seem to be further corroborating this conclusion.

Frankly, this is somewhat overestimating certain seafood.

Whether it's Skadi or Isamara, they both show obvious roughness, even primitiveness, in their conduct and interpersonal relations.

But age and experience are undoubtedly within the older range, making Suzi quite convinced of this conclusion; therefore she has to investigate more meticulously.

Of course, the same goes for the young!

【Start an experiment: Wow, you really dare say that, little girl, taking advantage of your young age to get how many benefits from Guinea Pig-kun? I really don't know what kind of education makes you think about all this nonsense at your age

Guinea Pig-kun has actually signed a contract with me from the very beginning to walk together, using his most genuine self—have you seen that?

【Curren~?: Heh~, genuine self? What education?

【Stifled laughter. jpg】

【Start an experiment:?】

Before Suzi could finish typing to ask about this strange reaction, there was suddenly the sound of footsteps approaching, making both of them prick up their ears; after taking a few steps and turning their heads, they saw Aomo walk out of the doorway with a natural demeanor.

Karen frowned slightly, feeling that this was much earlier than expected.

Perhaps they really have stepped into the situation that the troublesome woman spoke of.

"Everyone's here, perfect, I need to take my leave, uncle and aunt, and little brother—do either of you want to come along on the way?"

"Huh? Leaving this early?" The aunt expressed some surprise.

"Big brother, won't you stay a bit longer?!"

After just a short time together, they recognized the little brother of the big brother as someone with potential; unfortunately, in Aomo's eyes he still lacks distinctiveness, and will mostly end up as a relatively peripheral lower rank in Aomo's social circle.

"If you really have to go, let me give you a ride," said the uncle, who had already readily reached into his back pocket for the car keys, showing he understood Aomo, such a busy person who's been on news and TV several times; "but Aizhi doesn't even come out to see you off, kid's mom, you go call her."

"Eh, okay."

"Please don't do that; I just finished chatting with her about her career prospects, and this is exactly the time she needs to quiet down and think on her own."

"Huh? Is that a very serious topic?"

"That's right, but maybe she'll turn to the two of you for help as well; after all, her former self probably never thought to ask either of you."

Watching his demeanor and tone, still as gentle and warm as when we first met, the youth—only in this sentence do I feel a hint of unfamiliarity, as if his inner self...

"Although it's like that…"

Looking at this young man whose demeanor and tone remain as gentle and warm as when they first met, only in this sentence do they feel a hint of strangeness, as if the other's inner self had been replaced by someone else, causing both of them to hesitate a bit.

"Also, please tell her later that if I really can't think of something, you can also ask me; after all, I suppose I might still be too rigid in my speech."

In the end, trainers still have to guide the horse girls; helping lost horse girls find their way is also part of our work.

Um, ah, is that so…

Auntie still hadn't quite shaken off that nightmare‑like state from just now, while Uncle already spoke cheerfully:

That's really well said! Trainer Aomo, I truly believe you can carry out what you say! After all, we've all seen the change you've brought to my little girl.

Thank you for your praise and trust; just continue to treat her with this attitude, and I believe Aizhi's transformation into a shining star is entirely due to the two of you, the stargazers.

Hahaha, don't mention it; I believe Trainer Aomo, such an outstanding young person, also has a pair of fine parents…

For some reason, he was suddenly glared at by the two little girls who had been polite before, and for some reason the brown‑haired, red‑eyed girl could emit an aura that froze him in place; Aizhi's father couldn't even finish his sentence.

Yet he also saw the other side suddenly break into a more open smile and, for no reason, wave a hand.

Indeed, I have many fine educators and guardians, and I have always been grateful for their existence.

Teach…

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I've actually stayed here longer than planned, so no need to pick me up; I have a more efficient way to leave, but if either of you intends to go the same way, I can give you a ride.

We can't offend the dorm supervisor on the first day of school, Uncle—you also need to remember to send Aizhi back before then.

Oh, oh oh.

At some point the man managed to break free from that stiff state, nodded, and unconsciously wiped his forehead only to realize it was damp.

And Suzi, who never speaks of the 'guinea pig' nickname in front of outsiders, also stepped forward:

Let's go—I'm definitely leaving with you, Trainer.

What about Karen?

Um… I actually wanted to check on Ayabe-chan's condition…" She glanced hesitantly toward the bedroom, but with everyone present, especially Trainer Aomo's gaze, she suddenly raised her voice, showing a bit of nervousness that puzzled the Aizhi family: "All right! I know, let her have some quiet time; I'll wait for her to contact me by email."

Saying that, she quickly ran to behind Trainer Aomo, hands behind her back:

Then do I get a chance to ride on big brother's motorcycle?

Hahaha!" Suzi laughed loudly, hands on her hips, very pleased, "Too bad, it's teleportation!

I hope you won't get motion‑sick from teleportation like Aizhi-kun.

Huh?
