Chapter 1924: with translation of chapter title

When Aomo reached a nearby registration desk, he spotted a few familiar faces that hadn't gone far.

So he subconsciously overlooked most of the gazes that weren't intensely hostile.

"It's truly an honor, ma'am." Aomo stood beside her.

After all, her stance—standing on the edge of the 41st-floor platform in Area A, leaning on a cane without even intending to bring a chair—was so solemn it looked like she was about to give a podium lecture for the Innate Character Academy.

Translate: "When Aomo arrived at a nearby registration desk, he noticed several familiar faces that hadn't wandered far."

It's only natural for the Symbol Family's old family head to attend the young master's race, but for a classic-year junior registration event, that's another matter.

"Don't think too much." the old family head said lightly.

Translate: "They weren't people who regularly appeared by his side, let alone famous named characters; relying only on the memory-management ability brought by the crystal core, he could instantly think 'How could they be here?' in his mind, then, following their direction, he widened his gaze… thereby unintentionally prompting a response from that cyan gaze."

We need to keep the quoted thought: "How could they be here?". We'll translate as "How could they be here?" maybe keep quotes. We'll use English quotes.

It's considered unintentional simply because there are far too many gazes here.

Translate: "It was unintentional simply because there were far too many gazes here."

As a well-known figure, Aomo Lindun has constantly felt the sensation of being stared at ever since showing up at the racecourse entrance. Paying attention to each stare individually is naturally both tiring and difficult; without formally activating the mechanical monster card, it's hard to possess the matching information processing capability.

Paying attention to each one by one is both tiring and difficult; without formally activating the mechanical monster card, it's hard to have the information-processing capacity to match it."

We need to use "Aomo Lindun". Also "mechanical monster card" we translate as "mechanical monster card". Not a name.

He subconsciously overlooked most of the gazes that weren't intensely hostile.

Translate: "So he subconsciously ignored the majority of gazes that weren't intensely hostile."

This also included that person's unexpected line of sight.

Translate: "This also included that unexpected line of sight."

"How truly honoured, old lady," Aomo Lindun stood beside her.

Translate: ""What an honor, old lady." Aomo stood beside her."

Once registration is complete, one can naturally employ instantaneous translocation. While the elderly generally have weaker information processing and physical abilities, unable to withstand shocks, this 'old man' is clearly not among the general populace.

Translate: "Once registration was complete, he could naturally employ instantaneous teleportation. Although the elderly generally have poorer information-processing ability and physical condition, unable to withstand frights, this 'old person' was clearly not among the masses."

After all, her solemn stance—standing on the edge of the 41st-floor platform in Area A, leaning on a cane without even intending to bring a chair—looks as if she's about to give a high-platform lecture at the Innate Character Academy.

Translate: "After all, her solemn stance on the edge of the 41st‑floor platform in Area A, leaning on a cane without even intending to bring a chair, looked as if she were about to give a high‑platform lecture at some Innate Character Academy."

This vigor shows the old person is still quite lively for their age.

Translate: "This vigor says the old person is still going strong despite age."

Looking at her career span, her age doesn't match her stark white-haired appearance, but this is also a topic everyone tries to avoid.

Translate: "If one looked up her lifespan, they'd find her age mismatched with her snowy‑white hair, but this is also a topic everyone tries to avoid."

So Aomo Lindun simply felt honoured.

Translate: "So Aomo merely felt honored."

The Symbol Family's old family head attending the young master's race is perfectly natural; but swapping it for the junior registration event of a classic year is another matter.

Translate: "The Symbol Family's old family head attending the young master's race is perfectly natural, but switching to the classic year's junior registration event makes it another matter."

We translated Symbol Family as Symbol Family, old family head as old family head, young master as young master, junior registration event as junior registration event. We'll keep.

The Symbol Family does have a young horse girl named Ji Zhao without a named symbol; however, she is still only in her first year of high school, and furthermore, although many trainers appreciate her, she remains unsigned. Although recent months have seen jokes linking her to the trainer chosen by the clan's predecessors, Aomo Lindun trainer, this has nothing to do with the present meeting.

Translate: "The Symbol Family indeed has a young horse girl named Ji Zhao who bears no symbolic title; she's still only in her first year of high school, and moreover she's in a state where, although many trainers appreciate her, she hasn't signed a contract yet. Although in recent months several jokes have pointed her toward the same clan's senior trainers who chose Aomo Lindun as their trainer, this has nothing to do with the current meeting."

We need to use "Aomo Lindun". Also Ji Zhao as Ji Zhao, Symbol Family as Symbol Family, trainer as trainer. We'll keep.

"Don't think too much," the old family head said lightly.

Translate: ""Don't think too much." The old family head said lightly."

"Symbol Family's"

When Aomo arrived at a nearby registration desk, he discovered several familiar faces that had not yet walked away.

They were not people who regularly appeared by his side, nor were they notable figures with names; it was only thanks to the memory-management ability brought by the crystal core that he could instantly think, "How could they be here?" and then, following their direction, he widened his gaze… thereby unintentionally prompting a response from that cyan gaze.

The reason it was unintentional is simply because there were far too many gazes here.

As a well-known figure, Aomo Lindun has felt the constant sensation of being stared at ever since he appeared at the racecourse entrance; paying attention to each one individually is both exhausting and difficult, and without formally activating the mechanical monster card, it is hard to have the information-processing capacity to match them.

Therefore, he subconsciously overlooked the majority of gazes that were not strongly hostile.

This also included the unexpected gaze of that person.

"What an honor, ma'am." Aomo stood beside her.

Once registration was complete, he naturally could employ the means of instantaneous translocation. Although elderly people generally have poorer information-processing ability and physical condition, unable to withstand frights, this "old person" clearly does not belong to the masses.

After all, her stance at the edge of the 41st‑level platform in Area A, leaning on a cane without even intending to bring a chair, was solemn, as if she were about to give a high‑platform lecture at some innate‑character academy.

This vigor, even for an old person, is quite impressive—old yet vigorous.

If one looked up her lifespan, one would find that her age does not match her stark white hair, but this is also a topic that everyone tries to avoid mentioning.

So Aomo merely felt honored.

It is only natural for the patriarch of the Symbol family to attend the race in which the young master competes, but switching to the minor race of a classic year makes it another matter entirely.

The Symbol family indeed has a young horse girl named Jihao who bears no symbolic surname; she is still in her first year of high school and, although many trainers appreciate her, she remains unsigned. Although in recent months many jokes have linked her to Aomo Lindun, the trainer chosen by the family's two senior members, this has nothing to do with the present meeting.

"Don't think too much." The patriarch said lightly.

"A trainer of the Symbol family doesn't need to feel too good about himself."

"Oh?"

"A semi‑retired old person has plenty of chances to walk around and look, right?"

"That's quite right."

"Hmm?"

"You're absolutely right," Aomo replied after performing a simple courtesy bow just for show, "and I dare to ask, whom do you favor?"

"You dare to bring up such a topic despite having multiple training contracts?"

"A team chasing victory cannot say 'we dare not.'"

"Would you also ask that in front of them?"

"That would probably not end well."

"Just knowing is enough." The patriarch nodded.

"If you have done this in front of Rudolph, Sirius, and the Qianming representatives, then I would have to withdraw my previous support."

"By the way, among those kids, who is being coached by the Qianming representative?"

"Ailisuzhi."

"It's that child…"

"Do you prefer Qianming's coaching?" Aomo narrowed his eyes, subtly observing this patriarch who cared nothing for his own "disciple."

The height difference let him instantly see that the other's white‑crowned head, likewise covered in white fur, bore double ears adorned with two small gold rings, a small ear stud, and a large gold ring forming the ear jewelry.

Just as in the recordings, just as in his youth.

For a horse girl who has been retired for many years and is gradually aging, this is uncommon, because aesthetics shift over decades, and letting the aging body go unchanged also changes, while accessories must match one's appearance and demeanor; the higher the status, the less one can afford to appear perfunctory in public.

But in Aomo's memory, the other's earwear during the appearance segment has always been this style.

"No, just a casual question; now I'm more curious about what mentorship those two girls who have never won have received."

She lifted her head, and her turbid eyes, which matched her appearance, caused Aomo's gaze, which had been lingering on her ears, to slide slightly.

"It's not that one must necessarily take a senior as a teacher," he said, somewhat helplessly.

Although he still felt a bit flustered about the breach of etiquette, his interpersonal skills were flawless; this ability to cleanly split his attention into two threads was a life skill he had already achieved before ever touching the monster card.

Precisely because of this skill, the old person still had no doubt in his counter‑question: "Do you mean you will favor one and neglect the other?"

"... Miss Maruzesugi coached Mihama Bourbon, and Miss Narita Shirohito taught Manchester Chazuo."

As if finally speaking out of helplessness, and also as if expressing dissatisfaction by averting his gaze, Aomo's eyes turned forward. This also caused the speed symbol, which had no interest in looking at his jawline, to turn its head back, 'together' gazing toward the distant horse girls already beginning to enter the gate.

Together.

The reason for needing quotation marks is that the screens before Aomo, extending and separating silently, derive from the power of an invisible mechanical black dragon.

At the same time, there is also his habitual belated awareness.

—As an old person, performing such a large‑arc backward lean as a sudden whim would seem overly abrupt.

Although modern technology guarantees that elderly people can also be agile, hardware support does not equal algorithmic habit… never mind.

【Monsters are necessary: little snake! little snake little snake little snake little snake!!! Why hasn't it come back? Is something wrong?】

【I won't ask for everything: is there a situation? Bourbon and the others are already on camera, you know!】

…I will explain it for you?

In a dazed moment, the blue‑haired dragon girl with smiling, alluring eyes also silently opened her mouth, enunciating each word.

It was merely the lip‑sync of the Dongyan language. As one of Aomo Lindun's many life skills, there's no need to write it down even if imitating the business card of a certain 3k skill.

"No need, I'll be back soon."

By directly using telepathy linked with dreams to convey the message, Aomo thus settled those thoughts that had nowhere to rest.

For a moment it felt as if he had returned to a year ago.

Back then, due to work requirements, he was forced to have multiple contacts with Zhouri Ningjing, and that habit of paying attention to all kinds of details kept exerting itself, making him so sensitive that it could be counted as a black‑antidetection instinct of a whole day's sigh on a tranquil Sunday. Moreover, even earlier, when he was still following Miss JunChuan JiangSheng to familiarize himself with basic facilities, he had also encountered similar 'information‑point‑triggered alert sound high‑intensity pop‑ups.'

Compared to later, when many coworkers exposed trivial matters like chicken feathers and garlic peel, these were relatively the secrets of big shots—numerous yet imperfectly concealed—making the demon feel that each was another event trigger point; this truly gave the wood an immersive experience in every nook.

Unfortunately, Aomo does not have rich, exquisite experience with gal games.

On the contrary, he had already sensed that the side‑quest expansion would be super troublesome, so he dared not click on any of them.

It's all just that, then——

"It's a pity I have to leave you, old lady, my companions keep calling me."

Withdrawal, return to the place that truly matches "One thinks of… middle forgotten, anyway just want to laugh"; the reason for not taking side quests is often that there are still side quests left undone.

So his Mefilas-style space movement, permitted by the controlling party, can be activated again.

But the way it disappears, starting from under his feet and breaking into tiny square granules bit by bit, ultimately takes a few seconds to complete.

In just those few seconds, he heard the other party's half answer.

"I think that kid's not bad, M…"
