The trainer, whose time is running out, just wants to survive

During this period, Golden Ship was solely responsible for taking care of Kitano.However, Oguri Hat and Tamamo Cross, who had always felt that Kitano fell ill this time, had an unshirkable responsibility for them, also visited Kitano frequently during his rest period. Every time they came, they either delivered meals or brought supplements. of.

However, Golden Ship's attitude towards the two women is completely different.For Tamamo, Golden Boat always smiles and says that the other party is the one who comes to "atone for his sins".But for Xiaoli Hao... I don't know if Golden Boat felt that Xiaoli Hao was the initiator of his illness. She had always been wary of Xiaoli Hao, even a little vicious.

Therefore, in order to avoid conflicts in the ward between the two Lumao Saimao girls that he cared about most, Kitano always asked the golden ship to avoid it when Oguri Hat came.Golden Ship obviously understood what Kitano meant. Although he was a little unhappy, he still left the ward without saying anything.

As the golden ship left and the door of the ward slowly closed, Kitano and Oguri Hat's eyes in the ward collided in mid-air. Oguri Hat, who had always been indifferent, unexpectedly did not dare to talk to him. Kitano looked at each other, but raised the bag in his hand and said:

"Trainer Kitano, I brought you lunch - I made it myself."

"I'm interested, Little Li Hat." Kitano was a little surprised when he heard that the food was actually made by Little Li Hat. When he was about to get up from the bed, he was immediately surprised by Little Little Li Hat who came forward nervously. He pressed his shoulders.

"Don't move." There was a hint of panic in Xiaoli Mao's tone, and her eyes were trembling slightly. Her hands pressed down on Kitano, not allowing Kitano any room to resist, and she said nervously:

"I don't want you to be unconscious again, Kitano... I don't want to. So, please don't move."

"..." At this moment, Kitano, who was staring at the nervous Oguri Hat in front of him and unable to move, had no choice but to nod his head. After seeing the panic in Oguri Hat's eyes dissipated, Kitano finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say that it was only because Oguri Hat held Kitano down like this that Kitano still felt at ease.And if it were another racing girl, even Kitano's most trusted people in the past, if they did the same thing as Oguri Hat, Kitano would have a sense of crisis... Would he feel like he should be like other trainers? , being forced by his own irrational responsibility to do something extremely harmful to his body.

This kind of thing has not happened before. For some trainers, the hospital is not their safe house, but their next battlefield. Many racing girls with clear goals understand that while their trainers are sick, As time passes, it is not a bad idea to take care of the trainer so that the relationship between the two can quickly warm up and even develop into some extraordinary relationship.

But Kitano has naturally never experienced this kind of treatment. Otherwise, with his character, once he really gets love that goes both ways, he will attack the same person no matter how many times he travels. Kitano understands himself - he This kind of lonely person who has lacked love since he was a child because of a congenital disease must know that someone really loves him, and he will definitely be hopeless. He will cling to his lover as if he is clinging to a life-saving straw.

...Thinking about it this way, I can be considered a "racehorse" character in a sense, right?Such self-deprecation flashed through Bei Ye's heart, and he quickly came to his senses.At this moment, Oguri Hat had already taken out the lunch he had brought for Kitano, but when Kitano turned his attention to the lunch Oguri Hat had brought, he was slightly stunned for a moment.

"...Isn't this the fried rice I made back then?"

"No, I made it myself." Oguri Hat shook his head and opened the lunch box in front of him. What was revealed was fried rice that was almost exactly the same as Kitano's lunch box.If it weren't for the box in Xiaoli Mao's hand that showed obvious traces of a bite, it would be really difficult to tell the difference between the two boxes of fried rice.

"I made fried rice again according to your recipe, Trainer Kitano. Tamamo also tasted it. She said...it tastes almost exactly the same as what you made, Trainer Kitano."

"...This is the first time I know you can cook." When Kitano heard this, he also subconsciously tasted the fried rice made by Oguri Hat. Although Kitano's taste has deteriorated a lot now, he can still eat it. Oguri Hat's cooking skills are surprisingly good, and Tamamo, a horse racing girl who is most suitable to be a housewife, has given such high praise, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

However, Kitano remembered clearly that during the week between him and Oguri Hat, he did not try to teach Oguri Hat cooking skills.At that time, he considered that Xiaoli Mao's appetite was too big, and because of his physical condition, he could not stay by Xiaoli Mao's side to cook for her all the time. Therefore, he wanted to pass on his cooking skills to her so that she could One day, even if he is no longer by her side, Oli Hat can replicate his cooking skills and cook the meals she likes.

But it is a pity that Oguri Hat, as a horse racing girl, is an extremely impeccable existence.But apart from her talent as a horse racing girl, Oguri Hat is completely clueless in other areas.

Kitano spent at least two years without teaching Xiaoli Mao how to cook. It was as if Xiaoli Mao was deliberately making mistakes. Every time she started, she either mixed up the seasonings or put too many ingredients. So much so that the pot could not be placed and the expected effect could not be achieved, so Kitano almost said, "Rotten wood cannot be carved."

But now this week, Oguri Hat's cooking skills are superb enough to replicate his dishes, but Kitano is a little curious, who taught Oguri Hat?

"...It was a man who cared about me and took care of me like a father, who taught me this."

When Xiaoli Mao heard this, after a period of silence, his calm face showed a rare warm smile, and he said softly:

"I didn't want to learn these things before, but after he left, I slowly started to learn his cooking skills, and now I can be considered as comparable to him."

"Respect him like a father... It seems that he must be the person you care about most, Little Li Hat."

When Kitano heard this, he also nodded with a slightly strange expression. From Oguri Hat's words, he could guess that the person Oguri Hat was talking about should be the trainer who replaced Kitano's position this week. .When the unknown trainer received such praise from Oguri Hat, Kitano felt not only happy but also a little bit jealous.

But soon, Kitano turned his head and forgot about this little bit of jealousy. He looked at Oguri Hat with a smile and said softly:

"If that's the case, Xiaoli Hat, you can imitate my cooking skills in the future. I shouldn't need to drag my sick body to cook for you like before."

"Ah, I was worried before that if I did this again, I might be beaten up by the celebrations and the others, but now it seems that there is no need to worry."

"--no the same."

However, when Oguri Hat heard this, she unexpectedly shook her head stubbornly. She stared at Kitano with bright eyes and said word by word:

"The taste of food can be reproduced, but the food I made... is not what I am looking for. That taste... no, or rather, that feeling, only one person can make it, no matter who I am. No matter how many people try to reproduce it, it’s not the flavor I want to pursue.”

As she said that, Oguri Hat's always solemn little face showed a shallow smile to Kitano. She did not mean to hide her thoughts and feelings at all, and said softly to Kitano:

"So I thought... that taste, only Trainer Kitano can do it. You are the one and only one who can help me find that taste. Only the cooking you make by yourself can let me taste that taste. "

"No one can make me so satisfied except you. So please let me take care of you for a few more days until your body becomes healthy again."

"I want to taste the dishes made by Trainer Kitano a few more times. If one day in the future, Trainer Kitano, you can become healthy, please allow me to stay by your side and gain the satisfaction that only you can give... Okay?"

"……Really."

However, seeing Oguri Hat looking so solemn and speaking words that Kitano had never heard before, Kitano was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were a little dodge... If it was not Oguri Hat who said these words. Kitano would think that this fool, who had no idea of ​​the deeper meaning of his words, was Oguri Hat calling him by name and an invitation to eat his cooking for the rest of his life.

But what Kitano didn't know was that just when he took Xiaoli Hat's words as a joke, he didn't notice the flash of disappointment in the bright-eyed Xiaoli Hat's eyes, but soon, this Lu Mao Saimao's mother has rekindled her fighting spirit and a look of dependence that is difficult for ordinary people to detect.

Xiaoli Hat knew that she actually no longer cared about the "taste"... because she had already found it.

She found what she was looking for, the person who could give that unique taste.Although she didn't recognize him at first, when she witnessed his weakness and illness, she already understood what the missing piece was...

That "sauce" didn't come from Kitano, but from Oguri Hat herself. Only when she and Kitano's taste blended together would it be perfect, the taste in her dreams that she wanted to find.

And this time, I won't let all this happen again... I must change the fate of the trainer... My dear, the only trainer Sang.

Chapter 19: Zhongshan Celebration: You’re laughing so hard, you’re so anxious, right (referring to Rudolph)

"...Huh? Forming a team? Why are you telling me this?"

Compared with Kitano, who didn't know the truth, and the situation in the hospital where he was struggling with Oguri Hat to the extreme, the Zhongshan celebration at Tereson College, where he was adjusting his condition and preparing for the next day's game, also ushered in a... News that surprised her.

"That guy Rudolf wants to see you by name, and he's not willing to tell me the reason." Sirius Symbol, Zhongshan Celebration's roommate and gambling friend, who is also Rudolph's sister, conveyed the news to Zhongshan Celebration, but at the same time , Sirius also gave a rare reminder to the Zhongshan celebration, saying:

"Although I don't know what the Emperor is going to do, please be careful. During this period, I often saw her and the eldest daughter of the Mejiro family discussing something in the student union. She was not allowed to let others get close. She suddenly asked you by name. , I guess she has no good intentions."

"Remember, when you enter the student union, no matter what she says, don't agree, lest you be tricked and regret later. That Emperor, every time he has to face someone alone, he can always Make sure you can convince the other party."

However, relying on his understanding of Rudolph, Sirius gave his friend Zhongshan Celebration a warning.Although Zhongshan was confused, he still took Sirius's warning to heart, and walked into the student union when he thought he was sufficiently mentally prepared.

Zhongshan Celebration does not think that she can stand up to the "Emperor" Rudolf in terms of her majesty as a horse racing girl - this is not necessarily possible even if the eldest sister comes on her golden journey. The bottom line of Zhongshan Celebration is that she will not be defeated by Rudolf. The pressure was so oppressive that I couldn't breathe, and I could only tremble like my sister, a great master.

With this idea in mind, she came to the student union at the Zhongshan Festival in full preparedness. After facing Rudolf and Mejiro Takamine, and hearing the two girls bring up the topic of "forming a team," she keenly sensed something was wrong.

"Because you are the trainer of Kitano, Nakayama-kun, we need to ask about your personal wishes."

Rudolf didn't seem to be resting well these days. There were obvious dark circles on her eyes. It seemed that she had been troubled by something during this period, so that her current attitude was the gentle and gentle one she had cultivated for a long time. There is something different about the friendly president... showing an unknown side of fatigue, irritability, and slight irritability.

But now, Rudolf is not angry at the Zhongshan Celebration, and she doesn't think she will waste so much time on a junior.Her purpose this time was to fulfill Mejiro Takane's original proposal - to introduce a new racing girl to join Kitano's team.

Now the reason why Rudolph changed his mind was undoubtedly because of the note Mejiro Takapo shared with her.This notebook recording the countdown of Kitano's life also attracted Rudolf's attention, and Rudolf fully understood the reason for Gao Feng's persistence. It was what Kitano wrote: "Only one's own responsibility can win the game. His The characteristic of "life span can be increased".

"Whether this note is simply the fantasy of a terminally ill person or a ridiculous fact, we don't know, but what I am sure of is that we cannot bet the life of trainer Kitano on whether this is true or not, right? Lu Dolph."

"So, we must make other plans. If Zhongshan Qianye does not perform well in her debut game, it will be impossible for her to step onto the court in the short term. And if she insists on playing with a tired body, it will only be even more unsatisfactory. .”

"As for whether everything written by trainer Kitano is true... I think we will get verification later. You are also curious about this, aren't you? Rudolph."

——Yes, she is curious.Rudolf had to admit this. She was full of curiosity about Kitano. From the first moment she saw this man, her mind was attracted to him. His morbidity moved her, and his almost death from illness moved her. Crying, none of this was what Rudolph would do to any other stranger.

And since Rudolf read this notebook, she has not been able to sleep well for several days... During this time, she felt that she often had some strange dreams, most of which had no beginning or end, just like broken glass. It was an ordinary clip, but there was a figure in it that made Rudolph extremely concerned.

Kitano Ryuichi...why did he appear in his dream?And why is the self in the dream... always looking at him?

But why did he never come to her in the dream? In the dream, he seemed to have always appeared in her field of vision... but that was all.

He had been looking at another horse racing girl, and that horse racing girl was also very familiar to Rudolf, but now she didn't want to mention this person's name, just because when she thought of these... she felt a wave of difficulty in her heart. Describe the sadness and unwillingness.

Rudolf didn't understand why all this happened, but a voice in her heart told her that Kitano must not die.If he died, he... might regret it for the rest of his life.

Under such a strong sense of crisis, Rudolf finally agreed to Mejiro Gaofeng's plan.She planned to start with the most difficult one, the Zhongshan Festival. Both she and Mejiro Gaofeng could see that Kitano was not the kind of person who would strongly object, but the Zhongshan Festival... would definitely be someone who would resist their decision.

"I heard that your debut horse is coming soon. In fact, we shouldn't tell you this at this time... However, considering the situation of Kitano trainer, I feel it is necessary to explain this to you." Rudolf dared to call Zhongshan. When the celebration came, he naturally prepared his words and said calmly:

"Trainer Kitano is not in good physical condition and cannot be by your side to guide your training all the time, but you have the strong desire of trainer Kitano, so we hope to help you in this regard."

"Help me?" Zhongshan Jingxi, who was already wary because of Sirius's warning, also changed his expression, and asked coldly with a dark face: "You don't want to give me something to do, let me leave Beiye and find other training Is it something about being a member?"

"——Of course not. Our decision is humane and we will not do anything to force the wishes of racing girls or trainers." Rudolf also shook his head, and after looking at Mejiro Gaofeng next to him, She just continued:

"We just hope to add a racing girl who is at the same time as you to the team of trainer Kitano. In this way, even if trainer Kitano's physical fitness cannot be taken into account for the time being, you and your teammates can supervise each other and the training results will be better." You can get twice the result with half the effort.”

"Moreover, there are benefits to creating a team. Not only will the academy provide subsidy funds, but if the team's horse racing girls perform well, we will also have priority to participate in the competition, which can provide convenience for your future participation."

"I'm not short of money, and neither is Kitano." However, Zhongshan Celebration was not moved by Rudolph's words, but retorted with a frown.However, Rudolf was not at all frightened by the attitude of Zhongshan Celebration. Instead, he smiled and replied:

"You are not short of money, but as I said, trainer Kitano's situation is very worrying, and he has put a lot of expectations into you. This, Nakayama-san, you should be very clear about."

"Of course I want to believe that you will work hard to respond to Trainer Kitano's expectations. However, this can relieve some of the pressure on Trainer Kitano and allow him to recuperate with more peace of mind. And... you should also know that Trainer Kitano Your ideal is to achieve as much as possible, right?"

"This is an opportunity to make Trainer Kitano's limited life shine with more brilliance. Nakayama-san, you don't want Trainer Kitano to have any regrets, right?"

After saying this, Rudolf also exhaled slowly. She was certain that the words that she and Mejiro Gaofeng had been discussing for who knows how long could definitely persuade the Zhongshan Celebration.

Because they all know very well that Zhongshan Celebration and Kitano have a very harmonious relationship, and their several years of getting along with each other in Huang Jin’s family have made them even closer. Zhongshan Celebration’s unusual attitude towards Kitano also allowed them to vaguely guess what Zhongshan Celebration is. idea.

However, an important piece of information about Mejiro Peak is the pressure on the Zhongshan Festival - Kitano's illness and his ideals have put a lot of pressure on the Zhongshan Festival, so that Zhongshan Festival has been worried that he will not be able to Respond to Kitano’s expectations.

The breakthrough they found was this, making the pros and cons very clear to the Zhongshan Celebration.As long as new members join then, the pressure of the Zhongshan Festival will be reduced, and Kitano's dream can be realized. More importantly, the horse racing girl they recommend can definitely win the game, so that Kitano's life can be extended, and they can also It can also verify whether everything said in Kitano's notes is true or false.

It can be said that both Rudolph and Gao Feng were fully prepared. If it had been the Zhongshan celebration a few days ago, Rudolph might have touched the most uneasy point in his heart.

But it is a pity that in the past few days, after experiencing Kitano's narrow escape from death at the Zhongshan Festival, her relationship with Kitano has been different from the past. Now she has a completely different view of what Rudolf said. s Choice.

"...Does Kitano know about this?"

"Trainer Kitano doesn't know yet, but we will tell you." Seeing that the Zhongshan Festival seemed to be relenting, Rudolf felt slightly happy and immediately pursued the victory and said: "Don't worry, we have selected candidates for you, too. A very good and self-disciplined child, I believe she can do well."

"yes……"

However, Rudolph's words caused a sneer to appear on Zhongshan Jingyan's face.Now she can be sure that the matter mentioned by Rudolf was definitely anticipated - even the candidate had already been decided before notifying her?Doesn't this make it clear that she is destined to be conquered?

But what a pity...except for that guy Kitano, I have never been manipulated by anyone else.

"—But, I refuse."

The tone of the Zhongshan Celebration changed drastically in just one second. The fearless racing girl of the Huang Jin family was keenly aware of the intense intensity that suddenly began to spread in the student union that was briefly silent after she said her words of rejection. The sense of oppression - undoubtedly, it was the pressure emanating from the two seniors in front of him.

But Zhongshan Celebration was so calm at the moment that even she was surprised. Facing two racehorse ladies who were definitely the top seniors in Japan, Zhongshan Celebration seemed confident. The aura condensed behind her made her feel faintly. In front of the two girls, his expression remained unchanged.

"——Can you tell me the reason?" At this moment, Rudolf's face had no smile at all. The many days of sleeplessness had exposed her anxious side under the stimulation, and the sense of oppression as an "emperor" occupied the entire student union. , coldly questioned the Zhongshan celebration in front of him.

"Then let me ask you, why did you interfere in the matter between me and Kitano?" Zhongshan Celebration also sneered, faced Rudolph head-on, and answered word for word:

"It's really strange. Neither I nor Beiye, we have never disliked each other for several years from Huang Jin's house to Treson. Why do you two, an outsider who has only known Beiye for a few days, compare each other?" Am I still worried about his affairs?"

"I……"

"Besides, I made a promise to Kitano back then. I would personally help him realize his dream - no one can replace me and his wishes, not even a horse racing girl who is more talented than me."

"Both of us are unique in each other's hearts." Zhongshan Celebration said this, with a pair of ferocious three-white eyes inherited from the Jin family, but also a teasing smile, and whispered to Rudolf, who had a dark face. smiled and said:

"How about it, Mr. President? Or do you need me to tell you, an unrelated person, what I said when Kitano and I made a promise at Huang Jin's house? Of course you can also go to Kitano and ask about it. I think both of us are impressed by this promise. profound."

"..." At this moment, Rudolph didn't say another word, just lowered his head silently, so that no one could see her expression clearly.

However, Mejiro Takamine, who had been silent, noticed Rudolph's slightly trembling shoulders.As a childhood sweetheart who had known Rudolph since childhood, Gao Feng knew very well that this was a precursor to Rudolph going crazy.

But at this moment, the Zhongshan Celebration was called a rebuttal, but in fact it had risen to the level of ridicule, and it has not stopped.

"You guys want to put Jockey Girls into that guy Kitano's team... Let me guess, are you fancying Kitano's potential? You think Kitano, with his sick look, can become some Jockey Girls in your family. Motivation? The person you recommend won’t be a guy named Mejiro or Symbol, right?"

"Or..." At this moment, Zhongshan Celebration didn't notice that Mejiro Gaofeng's face darkened. He raised his chin slightly, and his tone was even more teasing, and he said softly:

"You think that my ability cannot live up to Beiye's expectations, but Beiye still trusts me so much. Are you jealous that he trusts me so much?"

"..."

This time, the words of the Zhongshan Celebration caused the entire student union to fall into complete silence.Mejiro and Rudolf, who were now in extremely bad moods, did not even notice what Nakayama said before leaving the ceremony, "In short, you don't have to worry about him and me. Can I respond to his expectations? You will do it on the field." seen” words.

"...Gaofeng, could you please go out for a while? I want to be alone for a while."

"Right on my mind."

At this moment, Rudolf, who was resting his head on his palms, could hardly hide his tiredness with his abrupt words.Mejiro Tamine was also exhausted from today's events and left the office without saying anything else.

However, at the moment when the door of the Student Union had just closed.Rudolph, who was sitting tiredly, suddenly stood up, grabbed a pile of documents on his desk, and smashed them against the wall with all his strength!

As if to vent the depression in her heart just now, with a loud noise that shook the floor, Rudolf, who had vented his emotions, sat back on the chair with an extremely empty look. She raised her head with dull eyes, ignoring In the messy surroundings, it was only after a long time that I heard her muttering to herself:

"What am I doing...like a fool."

Why can't I stay calm about that person's problem?Rudolf couldn't figure this out. She only knew that this might be another sleepless night. Is the jealousy that Zhongshan Jingxi mentioned... really the emotion that welled up in her heart before?

Ah...I feel...so tired.Why does no one understand her heart...

Chapter 20: Conversation before debut, the golden ship’s plan

"——Such a thing happened, Kitano, what do you think? What do they want to do?"

After the Zhongshan Festival severely ridiculed Rudolph and Mejiro Peak, I did feel a lot more relaxed.However, afterwards, at the Sun Yat-Sen Festival, I realized belatedly that I had confronted Rudo, the student council president at Tereson College, and asked me if I would be wearing small shoes in the future. I immediately went to Kitano's hospital. Perhaps she felt that she could feel more secure with Kitano by her side.

When the Zhongshan Festival arrived, it was almost time to go to bed. The Oguri Hat who originally came to deliver the meal had naturally left. Not far from Kitano's hospital bed, an empty tatami stood out - there was gold. Boat sleeping place.

Yes, Golden Ship has been staying with Kitano all night long these days to take care of him. The celebration also knows this. But what she is a little curious about now is that this guy Golden Ship usually wants to stick with Kitano. At this time, she ran away Where did it go?
