Chapter 1713: NO.327: Then you'll have to become smaller tomorrow

NO. 327: Then you'll have to become smaller tomorrow.

Indeed, truly balancing interpersonal relationships is often impossible, because reality cannot precisely quantify a person's favorability with data like a galgame, nor can it fully and three-dimensionally present a person's inner heart.

So-called imperial mind techniques and water-balancing masters usually maintain a relative balance on the basis of subjective guidance and objective assistance.

Relatively speaking, this standard is very important. Important enough to let you set aside other unknown, unstable factors, and gamble on a sure-handed outcome for the purpose you hope to achieve, to be praised as long-sleeved and skillful, leak-proof, while you can sincerely admit your shortcomings.

You indeed have shortcomings, only able to maintain a superficial balance in your own domain of demands.

But when those people's conflicts spill into other areas, you have to rush back and forth putting out fires.

When such processes repeat, the traces left by water-balancing in different fields may intertwine into new conflicts in places you don't notice.

By then, you are no longer an arbiter, but a party involved.

Even your qualification to balance water is lost.

Therefore, understanding that all things change and everything eventually ends, Aomo Lindun has always been carefully monitoring and stabilizing the emotional states of the horse girls, hoping to prevent everyone from falling into a disastrously out-of-tune competitive state.

But indeed, just as the Norse god-king Odin must eventually face Ragnarok, some things cannot be truly avoided merely by not wishing them to appear and desperately trying to reverse them.

When he stepped forward in a yukata under the gazes of countless horse-eared girls, his habit of quick and meticulous observation already sounded a mournful alarm.

Despite the trainer's wishes and struggling to maintain balance, the sight of each horse girl eagerly trying out their own 'good ideas' proves there is no room left for balance.

There's no longer any need to balance water; at this point people would instinctively lean toward one side to end the farce, but the Lindun family's demon is different.

He is the trainer of these horse girls.

He is the trainer of this batch of horse girls who will, in a few months, each face the most crucial race of their lives.

He will not give up.

Even in the face of these completely unbalanced interpersonal relationships, he will not sacrifice some people to push others to the top.

But if he does not give up, what can he do amidst the imminent breakdown?

Stop all this from happening?

That can only be a temporary fix; surely a new mischief will arise within a day.

Then, what about returning to the origin?

Even though everything changes and all things have an end, reincarnation is also the rightful order of the universe.

The end of one team also welcomes the birth of another; even if they repeat the same mistakes, maintaining this team's state is already the most important motivation for some people's hearts.

To let everything return to its original track, to let everything cycle back to its original pattern, the response for this purpose is his trial.

It must be mentioned that although the waiting stakeout at Manchester City Chazuo was somewhat beyond his expectation, it was actually a good thing, saving him the effort of presiding and thus speeding up the plan's execution, giving him more leeway to continue multithreaded thinking and to make contingency plans for the current trial's results.

One reason is the obstinacy of some horse girls who, even after the trial, still do not understand its purpose.

Another reason is the obstinacy of some horse girls who, even after knowing the underlying meaning, still insist on wishing the night would not dawn.

He prepared several versions of manuscripts capable of opening each person's heart, all merely to reclaim the essence of the initial running spirit and trust.

But the facts prove his idea was too pessimistic in this regard: including Suzi, none of the horse girls showed any change.

There is obstinacy, but no abyss of single-mindedness.

Should this be called the manifestation of a knowledge-obscuring haze or a character-induced single-leaf blind spot? He did not see them deeply troubled, but the fact that the horse girls in charge were wholly immersed in emotion surprised him greatly.

To be frank, although Ailisuzhi's daily performance never lacks various emotional expressions, those repeated willfulnesses are precisely the outward manifestation after being steeped in both true and false emotions; but since the phrase 'both true and false' is used, it shows that Aomo Lindun's view on this is quite conservative.

Regarding whether Suzi's behavior is a pretext driven by rationality or the genuine emotional outburst of a little girl, he holds a reserved attitude.

He always feels that a horse girl who exhausts rationality and restraint in the lab, and is completely mature and reliable in some plan discussions, yet there sits there acting cute, asking for food, tea, and massage, is rather disjointed.

Although the performance in daily life on both sides can be reverse-engineered into a relatively reasonable logic, and also because both performances have left him deep impressions, and because he himself is a practitioner of acting, he has always felt that the other's behavior contains a touch of acting.

And this may perhaps become a 'boy who cried wolf' situation.

Acting too much will confuse the senses, impair judgment, to the extent that Aomo trainer's psychological assessment of the current horse girl in charge is not quite accurate.

Simply passing the stage verification at the Gu Lan Ji Nie Er Ju Yuan Theater showing that the other's heart currently harbors no repressed wild ideas or obsessions already indicates a mindset that has been well maintained, with little pressure and no deep-seated regrets.

Yet in such a place, a blindingly obstinate folly erupts, requiring one to speak up and guide before seeing the situation clearly, while also inviting a bit of mockery.

Isn't that a rather malicious trainer?

Actually inciting one's own horse girl in charge to hinder the emotional expression of other teammates also counts as winning by any means; spreading it would be a black mark… of course, it might also attract some fans instead.

After all…

Although relationships between horse girls and trainers are industry norm, they do not prevent a considerable portion of the fanbase, which cannot shake off its idol‑fan element, from opposing this phenomenon.

This is like: don't go out with the idol you're currently supporting and their manager, at least wait until three years after retirement to whisper about it. jpg

But such people should most clearly understand the charm of the horse girls they support.

As for what opinion the iron‑will trainers who can long resist this charm would have, that is a matter of differing views.

At least outsiders hearing this would think it's awesome, and might therefore pay attention.

But that's all future talk; this matter at least cannot spread this year.

As for the horse girl in charge who mocked him, he merely replied in kind, mocking the demon trainer who would be addled by emotions; at this moment he is also officially heading to the kitchen to help out, calling upon any horse girls able to lend a hand.

Everything appears peaceful.

Even if it's only superficial, this attitude of being able to start over is enough to make him feel relieved.

Thus he does not go on to investigate what these girls are chatting about in their private little groups.
