Chapter 905: with translation of chapter title

NO. 28: Ordinary passerby Aomo at the training field

"Aomo-san! Can you let Mi-yu and Bourbon run together once?"

"If the parties involved are willing."

Putting aside the mind-map constructed from the information threads in his hand, Aomo unhurriedly put down the auxiliary screen in his hand and turned to look at the panting son of Belial beside him.

For the demon mercenaries who have been busy these days tracking clues, directing outside, or personally investigating, Chao Cang Lu has been a rare sight not seen for five days.

But this is not hard to understand.

After all, the last information was that the other party, together with James, persuaded Mi-yu to sign up for the local G1 race in the second half of October; one can imagine how busy these three would be in the last-minute cramming segment.

Such busyness, even in the second half of October, would still cover the atmosphere of the whole school, with only individual horse girls and trainers able to avoid it.

After all, it's the latter half of October.

Because races like the Autumn Flower Prize, which are G1 events, as well as the Autumn Taira Prize and the Chrysanthemum Prize—these two major races—will inevitably have holidays, the students' course schedules this month will also become noticeably tense.

And functional units such as the infirmary where Qianming works, Ludaofu, the student council where Bai Ren is, and the board where Miss Jun Chuan is, will see their workload increase by multiples.

Although the 15th has not yet arrived, the signs of busyness have already begun to show.

Like the emperor encountered these past couple of days, he always, more or less, carries a restlessness with nowhere to go, and the green-clad secretary's steps are always hurried, even once counting on his fingers while telling Aomo the trainer how his rest time came to an end……

Just as the short-statured chairman no longer frequently appears on the training field, the bustling trends around campus seldom bring that little white cap.

Many changes manifest in the details, yet among them there also exist certain constants.

For example, the outstanding student Aimu Zhiji, who has no races this month and no worries about studies, still refreshes at a high frequency in the activity room.

Likewise, the idle Gechengwangpai, who loafs about like an unemployed vagrant, either comes to guide Bourbon or simply idles about—having been driven out by the student council and the infirmary, he seeks other places to kill time.

Such labor delivered to his door, Aomo naturally won't let it slip.

He is lacking manpower to share the workload, and Gechengwangpai happens to be a perfect match, helping him oversee the training schedule for the cyber horse girls with the most and densest arrangements.

"Go talk to that black-haired lady over there; you're not unfamiliar with him, are you?"

He gestured toward the distant figure in a black coat's back, which rather resembled a demon hunter-like Gechengwangpai raising his chin.

As a retired horse girl, moreover a famous one, although she herself occasionally goes missing, yet in the first few days after she appeared on campus, there was still constant turmoil.

After being spotted entering the activity room of trainer Lindon, this added a whole new burden to Aomo's reputation.

But now it's been over ten days or so; even the other horse girls and trainers on the training field have grown accustomed to the occasional appearance of Aomo and Gechengwangpai together, whereas Chao Cang Lu, who has never appeared in everyone's view, seeing this scene is both surprised and somewhat restrained.

"Uh… Gecheng sister? How is she here?"

You see, this is an honest, straightforward kid, untainted by the crowd's online nickname 'Wangpai Ge', and yet he actually utters the precious term 'Gecheng sister'.

"She is now Bourbon's assistant instructor; you should pay more attention to her, after all, the one who wants to return home on her also awaits news from your side." Aomo said calmly.

Ultraman, but not the Ultraman known to Chao Cang Lu and them; his hometown is another universe.

At first hearing, it seems the Land of Light can't help, but in fact the Land of Light's office and the official of Tianmen City have close ties; already over ten days ago, they had been searching via the 'Heavenly Gate' for the world where the Ultraman on Gechengwangpai resides.

But this is obviously a process that requires time.

Just as Aomo's side also spent several days investigating the world where Ultraman Tiga resides, once time drags on, the parties involved will consider letting go of the anxiety that does nothing for the current situation.

The present Ultraman is simply daily supervising Gechengwangpai's self-cultivation, and as a companion old grandfather keeping her company when bored, chattering away; afterwards, he chats with beings like Aomo and Sai Luo who can communicate directly with him.

Chao Cang Lu is naturally such a being as well, but obviously, this kid's thoughts these days are entirely on another black-haired little girl; he hasn't really paid attention to the empty-nest elders, and may even be surprised because Gechengwangpai is here.

"Assistant instructor?"

Turning his head to see the four large characters 'Gecheng Rongzhu' emblazoned on the windbreaker, in fact, compared to a demon hunter, it looks more like the back of a biker gang; his face is not merely surprised, it's utterly incredulous.

"I heard she even beat that president?!"

"Everyone has a deep impression of that." Aomo gave a slight nod.

Gechengwangpai's career history, the most widely known, is usually that battle in the Jidong Cup, defeating Qianming's representative and Ludaofu Xiangzheng, earning the title 'Ace of Jidong'.

But frankly, the battlefield of horse girls is highly competitive.

Winning once doesn't mean you can keep winning; in the later Arima Memorial, which likewise featured those three, Ludaofu Xiangzheng reclaimed the championship, achieving 'revenge,' and that was also Gechengwangpai's retirement race.

Although she lost, her placing second behind Ludaofu by two horse lengths, yet ahead of Qianming's representative by one and a half horse lengths, also gave strong proof of her strength for her previous victory, so it wouldn't be seen as merely 'lucky to beat Ludaofu'.

It is precisely such a renowned horse girl that even Chao Cang Lu, who has only recently entered this circle, knows her deeds.

Upon hearing she would serve as assistant instructor, the son of Belial, turning his head again to look at that demon, was full of admiration: "Aomo-san, what method did you use to get her to agree?"

"Just a normal request, perhaps with a treat thrown in."

"Huh?"

"Don't be frightened by her biker-gang-like borrowed character, the 'Rongzhu' taken from 'Ace'," Aomo said, glancing at the text lighting up on his auxiliary screen, then slowly rose to his feet, "Those who can become the human forms of Ultraman warriors aren't scary at all; in fact, they can be quite easy to talk to."

"You can also try asking her to guide the rice bath; as a preliminary tip, she likely has plenty."

"Uh…" After glancing back at that imposing silhouette, Xiao Lu swallowed, summoned the courage he lacked in interpersonal relations that his companion horse girl was missing, then turned back to see Aomo's retracted screen.

"Is Aomo-san leaving?"

He was somewhat surprised, having thought Aomo sitting here was fulfilling his duties as a trainer, after all, a chestnut-red figure was running on the distant track.

He had assumed Gechengwangpai standing not far away was just a passerby at the training field, but now looking— it turns out Aomo is the passerby.

"Hmm, there are some results over there; just leave this side to Wangpai Ge."

"Wangpai Ge…" Chao Cang Lu still couldn't quite grasp that nickname, merely muttering inwardly, he saw Aomo give him a slight nod, and also nodded at Gechengwangpai, who had suddenly turned his head back not far away.

It was indeed conveyed through telepathy.

"Well then, farewell."
