Night fell quickly.
Xu Zong had a relaxing day. He hadn't wandered around much before, but today he discovered that Tracen Academy was incredibly competitive. Even late at night, many horse girls were training. For example, the thundering hoofbeats of the BNW trio—Biwa Hayahide, Narita Taishin, and Winning Ticket—resounded through their youthful days.
Xu Zong also saw Matikanefukukitaru, practicing her center-position dance moves in a moonlit corner. He had heard that practically no trainer had high hopes for her, and she had lost again and again in her debut races, but she still practiced diligently. Her hip twists and kicks were effortless. Despite being tired and having no audience, she would still interact with her imaginary fans from time to time. It was quite moving.
Then Xu Zong turned around and saw Curren Chan, who was also practicing her dancing. But her dancing style looked more like a morning calisthenics routine. No wonder her nickname was "High School Grandma." Still, Curren Chan's movements were very cute. What "High School Grandma"? This was clearly Tracen's "Old Baby."
He took out his diary again, jotted down his inspiration, planning to reach 600 words for tomorrow's upload.
[Late at night, I saw a lot of horse girls again, each one so beautiful. For example, Matikanefukukitaru, Nishino Flower, Seiun Sky, and my Curren Chan "Old Baby." I love every good little sister equally.]
In that instant, everyone saw Xu Zong's log update simultaneously. And in that instant, almost everyone called him shameless. In the morning, he wrote that he was a simple, shy boy, and by night, he was "loving every good little sister equally." Hah, what a joke.
Mejiro McQueen pouted, her cheeks puffed up. "Honestly, Trainer Xu Zong, your eyes should be on us in Spica." But reading on, she couldn't help but chuckle. "Curren Chan Old Baby" was a new one. She had to admit, Trainer Xu Zong was good at coming up with nicknames. Curren Chan was indeed a "High School Grandma," so "Old Baby" wasn't wrong.
And of course, Curren Chan herself was reading the log. "Old... baby..." she murmured, impressed by Xu Zong's naming ability. But she didn't dwell on it. Many people were now saying that Trainer Xu Zong was a good person, he just liked to spout nonsense.¹⁰
[I mainly chatted with Nishino Flower and Tokai Teio.]
[Tokai Teio wanted to be like Rudolf and spent the whole afternoon reading dad jokes. She didn't get them at all, but she wanted to try telling one.]
[And so, a ridiculous scene unfolded.]
[Nishino Flower was watering flowers at the time. Teio went up to her and asked, "Do you know who a flower's mother is?"]
[Nishino Flower shook her head.]
[Tokai Teio declared, "It's a brilliant pen, because a brilliant pen gives birth to flowers!"¹¹ Man, I saw Nishino Flower freeze on the spot. The air was thick with awkwardness for a few seconds.]
[I feel like Nishino Flower's toes were gripping the ground so hard she could have carved a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor.]
[Teio just couldn't pull it off. Her face turned red too, probably realizing how lame her joke was. She doesn't have Rudolf's thick skin. What a small fry, that scummy Teio.]
"Damn it! Don't look down on me, Trainer Xu Zong!" Tokai Teio's face flushed red again. She wanted to grab Trainer Xu Zong and give him a good beating right now, but the dorms were already locked. "Damn it, damn it, damn it." Tokai Teio started shadowboxing, as if Trainer Xu Zong were right in front of her. She never thought the memory she had tried so hard to forget would come back to attack her.
"Hmph, and to think I had a good impression of Trainer Xu Zong before, even considering joining his Spica."
"You're about to lose me!" Tokai Teio said with extreme haughtiness, her face burning.
"Oh? Teio cares a lot about what Trainer Xu Zong says. Maya knows that if someone cares a lot about another person, they might like them." Mayano Top Gun, having just finished washing up, said this with a straight face, landing a critical hit on Tokai Teio.
"Eh? I like Trainer Xu Zong? Hah, it's more likely that he likes Teio-sama." Tokai Teio's CPU was nearly fried by Top Gun. This scummy little kid... she was definitely not going to get any sleep tonight.
[Alright, alright, time for bed. The race month starts tomorrow. I wonder if I'll get a reward when the horse girls win their races.]
[Time to sleep. When I wake up tomorrow, I'll be the coolest wage slave in Tracen again.]
Xu Zong decided to go to sleep. It had been another happy day.
However, the horse girls were very curious about the last part. They knew that after completing their training goals, they would get information about their real-life counterparts. Would they be able to see what they looked like?
McQueen was also curious. She had a dream where a fortune-teller told her that her real-life counterpart was "two hands, two feet, plus a rice cake." What on earth did that look like?
Silence Suzuka was the same. What would her real-life counterpart be doing at different ages? At five, at ten, at fifteen, at twenty? Would she fall in love? Would she get married? Would she, like Ardan, have a child of her own? Would she always be with Spe-chan?
She was looking forward to knowing the ending for her real-life self.
...
The next day, early morning.
At the Shinkansen ticket office.
Xu Zong, along with Daiwa Scarlet, Vodka, Special Week, and the others, bought their tickets and boarded the train, heading for the Kyoto Racecourse. The Shinkansen station was near Tracen, which was very convenient. They all found their seats in the carriage, and the train departed on time. After the announcement, it began to accelerate slowly, heading towards Kyoto along the distant tracks.
[Speechless. Woke up this morning, just about to leave, and saw Mejiro Palmer standing at my door.]
[She seemed to have something to say to me, but she just stammered and couldn't get it out. What's going on?]
With some free time on the train, Xu Zong started writing in his diary again. Since he was a trainer, it wasn't strange for him to be holding a notebook all the time. Everyone would just assume he was recording data. He had seen Mejiro Palmer first thing in the morning. She was indeed beautiful, but the look in her eyes seemed full of resentment.
However, what Xu Zong didn't know was that Mejiro Palmer had come to ask about Mejiro Ardan and to settle the score about him calling her a "bad woman." But she found she couldn't say anything about the diary, which frustrated her so much she eventually had to leave.
[To be honest, could Mejiro Palmer have a crush on me? We've barely met. Has my charm become that powerful?]
[It's possible. After all, the other trainers are generally older. A new, handsome big brother like me is probably in high demand.]
"Damn it... why did it turn out like this?"
At that moment, in Tracen Academy, Mejiro Palmer was actually blushing. She was incredibly indifferent to romance, but who knew Xu Zong would drop a bombshell like this, revealing that she had gone to find him in the morning. She couldn't defend herself now. How could she explain this? What Xu Zong wrote made it sound so plausible. Was she really going to be unable to get married in the future?
Beside her, Sirius Symboli's smile was wider than an AK-47. She was dying of laughter. Seeing Mejiro Palmer's cute expression, she couldn't help but stare. It was a rare sight indeed.
