Chapter 240

NO. 2: A trainer's gaze should always be on the Horse Girls.

Horse Girls, the dwelling place for souls that came from another world, as spirits blessed by the three goddesses, are symbols of strength and beauty, and have long been thoroughly integrated into ordinary people's lives.

Most of them choose to live ordinary lives, while the elite among them choose the ritual path bestowed by the three goddesses—racing.

As a combination of idol and athlete, they are beloved and pursued by countless people.

Beneath that seemingly untroubled daily life lies the fact that they possess exceptional talent for source-energy cultivation, and the curse that such talent naturally entails.

——Excerpt from 'Horse Girls: One of the Abodes of Otherworldly Souls'

"So this is the curse written in this book? Using fate as a shell?" Xin Tiao Qian closed the book, pinched it, and waved it at Aomo.

Aomo did not answer; instead, Xi Qi Feng beside him crossed his arms and said, "Actually I think no Horse Girl from another world would have the fate of an electrical killer, Miss Xin."

"Could it be that horse stables in another world often have Horse Girls kicking apart electrical appliances?"

"It's not easy to say, trainer," Dazhenhan felt the trainer's remark was biased, so after thinking he said, "For example, maybe Miss Bourbon's Horse Girl soul once kicked apart a standing air conditioner?"

"If kicking a standing air conditioner brings this curse, then that fate is too unreasonable," Xi Qi Feng could not accept this saying.

"Did you summon those two just to make a joke?" Zhouri Ningjing, arms crossed, leaning against the side of the training field bench, hearing the exchange, somewhat displeased.

In front of Aomo, her patience was as poor as ever.

This goes without saying, just as her appearance now is thanks to the blessing of Manchester Chazuo.

Regarding the so-called fate and curse of Horse Girls, that black Zhou Ri always has some say, after all unlike her quiet sister, she is always hot-tempered.

Such a Horse Girl, during her active period, when she raced on the Saichang of Anmei District, would surely try to crush everything, even to trample fate itself.

But she…… perhaps failed.

Aomo thought.

Big data makes the connections among many events tighter than their surface appearances, and this also gives Aomo more opportunities to gather information, yet even so—Zhouri Ningjing remains a blank in his intelligence.

This means information control.

When one does not yet know the other party, one is usually unnoticed, but when one actively searches, one will certainly fall into the other's field of view; leaving that aside, first explaining why Zhouri Ningjing would change from a runner into the legend of 'Black Zhou Ri,' Aomo would think she had undergone some kind of blow.

Rather than naturally evolving from a hot-tempered older sister into a hot-tempered gangster older sister.

Well, a runner, she is undoubtedly a runner.

Just like Miss Juncheon, a retired track athlete, the shape of her calf muscle group, standing habit, walking posture… all these signs can easily reveal—whether a Horse Girl has raced as a Horse Girl on grass and dirt.

Then what kind of problem occurred that could cause all records of a Horse Girl, including her race records, to be controlled?

This surely cannot be merely the excuse 'as a gray-zone entity, one needs to disguise, beautify, or erase the past.'

Because the workload to control all information is simply too huge.

This world is not the set of the new Ultraman that Aomo watched; even Zabran aliens and Mefilas aliens cannot interfere much with the internet here—the Royal Knights would immediately follow the network cable to olive you.

Zhouri Ningjing's past inevitably involves many major events.

How can a Horse Girl be involved in so much? Through what means can she be involved in so much?

Moreover, this is a Horse Girl with a hot temper and visibly worrisome interpersonal relationships.

It can only be racing.

In fact, Horse Girl races have always involved many matters; this aspect involves collaborations with advertising, variety shows, etc., and behind the scenes naturally involves some corporate interests.

Although the Heart of Terra's emphasis guarantees fairness and justice in the Horse Girl racing segment and related gambling industries, and the protection regulations for Horse Girls are sufficiently comprehensive, each year still sees some illegal races and even criminal cases.

Whether human or Horse Girl, as long as there is desire, one will be drawn into those dark entanglements.

Of course, Zhouri Ningjing's long-term large-scale information blockade at least shows that the authorities have taken notice, or tacitly allowed it.

Moreover, Zhouri Ningjing also holds a committee position in the URA Association's Inquiry Committee.

That is not a false identity, and together with that café, it is enough to prove that her current situation not only needs no worry, but even surpasses Aomo's situation by ten or even nine times.

Only occasionally does she emit an air of 'seems to have a story,' which makes Aomo suspect that her past setbacks are partly white and partly black.

This is the inertial speculation about a Horse Girl in a gray zone; following this inertia, Aomo will next guess whether Zhouri Ningjing has surpassed that so-called 'fate'.

Then comes the speculation above.

Of course, being wrong doesn't matter.

The difference between winners and losers is merely a different perspective; on the path of the fate of horse girl souls, everyone's situation differs, and truly useful experience is all that has been selected.

Aomo also didn't intend to rely on a single direct and effective reference.

Moreover, compared to her identity as a firsthand participant in 'Horse Girl', Aomo values more her stance as a long-term spiritual entity activist.

With this stance, she should understand the soul quite well.

So Aomo naturally would invite her.

Zhouri Ningjing, who understands the soul;

Dazhenhan, who meticulously studies the spirit;

Having considerable experience in raising horse girls, it is natural that he would have some contact or even opposition to 'Horse Fate' as a senior—Nishizaki Yutaka.

"I believe they will help." Aomo could answer Zhouri Ningjing that way.

And then...

While looking around, she discovered Aomo and Zhouri Ningjing chatting a bit farther away, and then hurried over to ask: "... Is it really okay for me to come here?" Shinjo Akane.

She isn't much help with training or discussing strategies, but... this was never meant to be a secret meeting.

On the second day after arriving at the Junction Gate area, the otaku heart had not yet suppressed the freshness of the new territory, still willing to go out, and moreover out of curiosity about the work content of the little snake trainer, Aomo simply brought her along.

Unexpectedly, Zhouri Ningjing didn't say much about the outsider's appearance; perhaps she had already lumped Shinjo and Nishizaki into the same category of hopeless people.

As long as it involves Chazuo, and not provoking Aomo's blood pressure, she can actually temper her verbal aggressiveness.

"The academy during vacation allows visitors, as long as Miss Reins has filed a report." Dazhenhan, who came along, explained.

She and Nishizaki Yutaka are both easy to get along with; upon meeting on the way to Trésen, they had already begun communicating, of course, also together with Suzi, Bourbon, and Chazuo, the three horse girls.

They even chatted about nail polish brands—what a classic female topic—and only then did Aomo realize that one of them was a female college student and the other a high school girl.

In such a topic, the three under Aomo seemed out of place.

I said... can you three really be joking a bit?

At that moment, Aomo, who was chatting with Nishizaki Yutaka about source energy cultivation, happened to notice this side and thought of it.

jk not enough jk, but the purity of the horse girls is generally enough; right now they are each helping with warm-up exercises over there.

Now that they have formed an extraordinary three-person team, they can naturally conduct more stable parallel running training.

Later, Miss Dazhenhan might also join.

As for Narita Hakujin and Representative Qianming, who are usually present…

Aomo came in person today, so he didn't rush to summon the former as a substitute trainer; instead, he intended to let her rest a few days, and as for the latter, seeing her activity on Umastagram showed she was undergoing outdoor exploration, even dynamically linking with a horse girl named Bachong Wudi.

The latter was practicing cultivation under a waterfall when she bumped into her.

Training under a waterfall—indeed befitting a horse girl of the Jidong martial family; such a stereotypical behavior is actually carried out.

But it's better not to dwell on Representative Qianming's strange adventure; for now, Aomo turned his head to look at the three horse girls who had finished warming up in the distance, and Nishizaki Yutaka also noticed everyone gathering here, so he approached.

"Brother Linton and Miss Jiangshen have a good relationship; reporting such a small matter is no problem, and if there is a problem I can take responsibility."

He obviously heard Dazhenhan's words.

As a veteran trainer, he is naturally acquainted with the green-clad secretary who has helped too many trainers, and even Zhouri Ningjing is not unfamiliar to him; upon approaching he always says, "Committee greetings."

"Didn't I say calling once is enough?" Zhouri Ningjing, who is always impatient in front of Aomo, this time, amidst the crowd, restrained herself a bit.

"In the association's custom, if you don't greet the committee each time, you might end up wearing small shoes," the man said nonchalantly to his junior, bringing up the bureaucratic style of the ura Association, "but I never expected Elder Aomo to manage to invite you, the hardest to persuade."

This made Zhouri Ningjing raise her eyebrows: "I'm here because of the tea seat."

"That was my presumption," Nishizaki Yutaka replied unsurprisingly; it seems Committee Member Zhouri always behaves this way impolitely in front of outsiders.

"Can't you stop saying these nonsense?"

When she said that, Aomo also received a message from Manchester Chazuo, prompting him to look back at the three horse girls on the field who had ready their starting poses.

And he, with his fingers forming a gun shape, drew that cluster of black flame in midair.

At the instant of the explosion, the gale kicked up by the three horse girls could even blow as far as this place six meters away.

It swayed the lock of moon-mark on Aomo's forehead.

Aomo activated the stopwatch, then looked toward Zhouri Ningjing; everyone, including her, was still paying attention to the field at this moment.

The force of the three horse girls' hoofbeats at the start was enough to startle even the ordinary hearing-impaired Xintiao Qian.

Then, more intuitively, they recognized the power and speed of their new online friend.

Then they were brought back to attention by Aomo's clap: "Alright, let's continue."

Although he said that, the young man was also gazing at the three horse girls on the track, merely continuing to say:

"Then let's start with the horse girl curse mentioned earlier in the casual chat between Trainer Nishizaki and Miss Dazhenhan."
