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

"Here we are - ah, teahouse, come and say hello to our guests, too?"

As soon as Tako's words fell, Kitano and Jingjing saw a horse racing girl who was very similar to Silent Suzuka in figure, but the color of her clothes turned completely black, slowly walked out, with something still in her hand. Holding a cup of steaming coffee, his white hair stood up high, and his golden eyes were as mysterious as they could see through many things that ordinary people couldn't see.

This is the Manchester Tea House, another acquaintance of Kitano that week. She and Tatsuko were both Kitano's horse racing ladies. Compared to Tatsuko, the Tea House makes Kitano feel much more at ease, and she is not the kind of person who is particularly good at it. The type of riot.

Apart from the fact that she can see ghosts and has a ghost friend by her side, she behaves like a slightly eccentric racing girl.

"Hey?"

However, the moment the Manchester City Teahouse's eyes met Kitano's, the eccentric horse racing girl also showed a slightly dull expression. What made it even more confusing was that the Manchester City Teahouse clearly did not speak, but there was an invisible voice echoing. stand up.

"Who? Who is talking?" The already sensitive Zhongshan Festival was also startled by this sudden sound. While looking around, he immediately protected Kitano in front of him, with a nervous expression, as if something was wrong. She would protect Kitano and leave the scene as soon as possible.

At this time, the slightly sluggish Tea House finally recovered. Then, one of her pony ears was heard to stand up slightly, as if someone grabbed her ear and said something to her. Tea House finally recovered. He nodded slowly and explained:

"Nothing...just my 'friend'."

"She won't hurt you, don't worry, just treat her as an invisible ghost."

As he said that, the teahouse did not show any reaction to Zhongshan's celebration. Instead, he turned his attention to Kitano in the wheelchair. After a complicated expression flashed in his eyes, he said softly:

"Trainer Kitano Ryuichi...right? Please sit down. If you are willing to follow Tako, you must have your own reasons. I will accompany you."

"As expected of a teahouse, you really know who I am~" Tako smiled when he heard this. Even when he stepped forward to take the place of Zhongshan, whose mind had not yet reacted to the supernatural incident, something happened. misfortune.

Just when Tachyon was two steps away from Kitano, the two of them felt an invisible resistance almost at the same time, blocking the way between them.The next moment, Tachyon's whole body was slowly pushed away several steps by a thrust, before he finally stabilized his body.

Suddenly, the atmosphere at the scene became a little solemn. Except for Zhongshan Celebration, who was now turning blue, the other three people all understood the existence of "friends", but they never showed up. She was surprised that she would take the initiative to do such a thing.

"...Friend, please be quiet. Tako-san still has some sense of proportion." The tea-house owner didn't know why, and was surprised that the other party would do such a radical thing, but he still warned him, and finally kept watching the friend sitting there. After sitting on the sofa, I finally felt relieved.

At this time, Zhongshan Celebration finally couldn't bear it anymore. He came forward and pulled Kitano's sleeves, and said with his teeth chattering slightly:

"Beiye, I think this place is a bit weird. We still have time to leave now. I'll go and open the door..."

"Don't be afraid, the celebration is just a ghost. Aren't you even afraid of Auntie Dongfang (Oriental Art)?"

"But, I can't see or touch this thing - eh! She, she's touching me! She's touching me with her hand on my head! I feel it!"

However, Zhongshan Festival, who was not afraid of anything, but had no resistance to the existence of this kind of supernatural being, almost instantly felt that the ghost was contacting him. started to dodge, and judging from the eyes of the Manchester City Teahouse, this good friend would not get off Zhongshan Celebration at least until the conversation was over.

As for the reason... Kitano knows it very well. After all, according to historical facts, all the Jin family are descendants of his blood. It is normal for her to feel close to the Zhongshan Festival.

"Well, now that the troublesome person has left, let's talk about the next thing."

Although Arisuko was hindered at first, she quickly adjusted back to her normal state. However, this time, she did not have any physical contact with Kitano. She just sat on a chair nearby and remained interested. Said with a smile:

"Trainer Kitano, actually before I came to you this time, I had already investigated your matter."

"It's hard to imagine that you, who has congenital bone cancer and has even reached an advanced stage, can still act like this. If it were you, you should be waiting for death in the hospital long ago."

"But you are different. Even after the debut match at Zhongshan Celebration, your condition was obviously better than when you first joined the team - this is really a miracle."

Having said this, Tachyon could not hide his excitement, and immediately expressed his guess based on the information he had received, saying:

"Let me tell you straight, Trainer Kitano, your physique... seems to have the effect of [delaying] or even [reversing] your illness. However, there seem to be certain conditions that need to be met before all of this can be done. Arrived."

"And I am very interested in your physique. If you are willing to give me a little blood as a sample, I may be able to make many extremely useful medicines. And in return, I will also try my best to develop a How do you feel about a medicine that cures your bone cancer?"

Tatoko made a condition in front of Kitano that she thought was fair and that Kitano could not refuse.For a person like Kitano, whose life is close to despair, even if there is one ten thousandth chance of hope, he will definitely seize it at all costs. This is Tachyon's self-confidence.

In fact, Kitano would not refuse, but not because of any hope...but because he felt that this was an answer he owed Tako.

Kitano knew that Tatsuko was a racing girl who kept her promises, and she could fulfill her promises. Unfortunately... Kitano never had the chance to tell the former Tatsuko these words in person. By that time, everything was already too late.

But at least this time, Tako may have more time to fulfill her promise. Kitano believes that if she can do it the first time, she will definitely do it the second time.

So, after a moment of hesitation, Kitano faced the responsibility of the man in front of him who was crazy but finally allowed himself to see the fragile part of his heart. Just like his former self, he handed over his fate to this horse racing horse he met for the first time. On my mother’s body.

"Then leave all this to you, Tachyon."

"...Then, congratulations on our happy cooperation~ Mr. Guinea Pig."

Chapter 44: Kitano receives all-round care from the golden ship

"Hmm... As expected, the spread of cancer cells on Trainer Kitano's body has not been contained. This is obviously not a symptom of recovery, so it can only be that the body's functions have "reverse flow" at a certain node. It allows these cancer cells to return to a relatively safe stage, thereby achieving a treatment-like effect."

"This is really an interesting phenomenon. Although there is no way to cure the disease, if the medicine I create can replicate this [reverse flow] process... maybe many injuries can be reversed back to a healthy state!"

In the laboratory, with the help of various sophisticated equipment, Ari Tachyon carefully observed the blood samples Kitano provided to her. She was busy until night before finally getting the answer she wanted.

As Taiko thought, Kitano's physique was no different from that of ordinary terminal cancer patients, except for the "regression of symptoms".Therefore, Taiko also gave up the initial plan of extracting serum from Kitano's body to make potions, but he quickly grasped the key point.

"It seems that what is important is not Trainer Kitano's current physical condition, but the changes in his body during the process of [reflux]."

"According to common sense, during this process, his body should secrete some special products?" Ari Tatoko also kept guessing about the possibility of Kitano's body changes. Under the watchful eyes of the Manchester City Teahouse, I saw the fanatical smile on Tachyon's face becoming more and more distorted, and the excitement in his tone was even more uncontrollable as he said:

"It seems like you need to pay more attention to Trainer Kitano. If it's true as he said, your physique will have such an effect only when he wins the game with his responsibility...then... We have to take samples specifically at that time.”

"When the time comes, I will know his secret... Then, all the problems will be solved."

"——Suko, can I ask you something?"

However, perhaps it was Arisuko's overly enthusiastic muttering that made the tea host feel that he could no longer ignore it.Not only did the "good friend" next to her ears started to tremble slightly, but Teaza's heart was also warning her crazily, and she couldn't help but ask Tako:

"Tachyon, what do you want from Trainer Kitano? In other words, what is the purpose of the potion you created by studying Trainer Kitano's physique?"

"Do you really want to help him fight the disease, or...for yourself?"

This question from the Manchester Tea House can be regarded as a soul question, and the question from the Tea House did stop Tako for a moment, but after Tako opened his mouth, he was not able to tell the Tea House what he really felt deep in his heart. desire.

There is no other reason, because for Tachyon, this deepest problem is somewhat difficult to talk about...and it all starts with the genes of Ali Tachyon.

Ari Tachyon is well-known in Teresin College for her identity as a mad scientist and her genius as a horse racing girl. However, many new generations today only remember Tachyon's weirdness and strength, but they don't Forgot about one huge genetic drawback of tachyons - glass legs.

And it is because of the gene of glass legs that even if Ali Soko achieved an impressive result of four wins in four matches and was even dubbed the "Fantasy Triple Crown Horse Racing Girl", it would not change her from debut to retirement. , and his career lasted only one year.I only experienced one tendonitis crisis, and I said goodbye to the game from then on, with no chance of returning.

Aili Suzi could deceive others, but she could not deceive herself. She knew... In her heart, she actually longed to return to the competition, looking forward to running with all her strength again. Unfortunately, this wish was far away, and she was afraid that she would never be able to do it again. It cannot be realized.

To be honest, Taiko had no hope of returning to the competition. The reason why she is now obsessed with scientific experiments is to find ways to change her genes and physique - she does not want her offspring to inherit her genes. I don’t want the regrets and tragedies I have experienced to be repeated in my descendants.

And all this, until Kitano appeared, gave Tako a glimmer of hope.

Kitano's physique allowed Eri Soko to see another possibility - maybe she couldn't change the bloodline and genes she was born with, but if she could rewind her physical condition back to before the injury, then even if her genes would still be Pass it on to future generations, and they will never retire due to injuries like her.

In fact, not only her descendants, but all racing ladies who have retired due to injuries may be able to avoid such a fate!

But these words are still surging in Arisuko's heart, because she herself doesn't know whether she can succeed.She didn't want to write a blank check and let the tea player who retired due to injuries like her have excessive expectations... Or maybe it was to protect herself from having excessive expectations on this matter, and she would be hysterical when her hopes failed, Tachyon I chose to paralyze myself.

"Of course it's for myself, otherwise do you think I would be so enthusiastic?"

In front of the teahouse, Tako was waving his long sleeves leisurely, but because what he said was not the truth, he naturally turned around and stopped looking at the teahouse. While recording his test report today, replied:

"But don't worry, he is really a valuable guinea pig, and I will feel very sad if he dies. So when I have a clue about the medicine I am researching, I will definitely help him as much as possible."

"Anyway, he's not in any danger now, is he? He has two people in charge who are about to compete in the GI competition. I believe he can survive until I research the potion. There is nothing to worry about, Tea House."

"...That's not what I'm worried about. I'm just worried that you will use your test potion on Trainer Kitano."

However, the tea host sighed and shook his head lightly towards the careless Suzi.The only thing that Tea House is thankful for now is that after Kitano finished drawing blood, Kitano didn't seem to have any reaction when Tako suggested that he could use the medicine he already had as a thank you.

"I have medicines with various effects here, right? If you need them, by the way! I have quite effective analgesics here, which can make your day feel better."

At that time, Tachyon tried her best to promote her proud creation to Kitano. In addition to the potions that she thought were good for Kitano, there were also some best-selling drugs that were popular among horse racing girls, such as truth serum and goodwill enhancer. ’s… But Kitano didn’t choose any of them, and only asked Tatuko for a large amount of potions that could restore the horse girl’s state as soon as possible.

But...even "good friends" seemed nervous when Tako was selling the potion to Kitano's trainer?Does she know something?

The cafeteria's gaze also turned slightly, locking on the "good friend" who was almost a shadow in mid-air.And I saw the eyes of this ghost horse girl, staring at the tube of Kitano's blood next to the instrument... without taking her eyes away...

At that moment, Tea House read a trace of paranoia in the ghost's eyes for the first time. That look that seemed to want to strangle everything in its cradle made Tea House vaguely guess that this tube of blood was in Late tonight, I'm afraid there will be a sudden disaster...

……

At the same time, in Kitano's trainer's dormitory, the lights were uncharacteristically bright today.Kitano did not go to bed early as usual, but after supervising his two managers after a day of brutal training, he began to take care of them.

"As long as you pour a bottle into the bathtub, you can speed up the recovery of physical strength and eliminate most of the accumulated fatigue overnight." Kitano also placed the bottles of medicine obtained from Tachyko in a regular manner. Putting it in the box in the closet, looking at the potion that was enough for at least a week, Kitano felt much better and murmured to himself:

"In this case, even if I have to hit the GI in December, there should be no problem. If the celebration and Afun can both win the GI by then, I should be able to live for at least a few years, right?"

"Then during this period...A Chuan also has one debut race to run, and he should be able to extend my life for about a month, so...there should be plenty of time."

"If it's just once, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Kitano's thoughts were a little tangled. In the bathroom behind him, the sound of the shower and the noise of splashing water kept coming. There was no doubt that the two directors of the Golden Ship and Zhongshan Celebration were in the bathroom. They were fighting with each other.

After Kitano got Tachyon's potion, he immediately tested the effect of the potion.After Golden Ship and Celebration set the goal of competing in the GI competition in December, the intensity of their training began to increase rapidly. Kitano arranged for them a training method that had been tried and tested in previous games - hill climbing training.

In the previous week, Kitano also served as the trainer of a horse racing girl named "Miura Bourbon". As a time traveler, Kitano thought of the historical facts of Miura Bourbon during that time. The trainer relied on this method to train Miura Bourbon from a horse with a weak bloodline that should be better at short distances to an undefeated double champion who could dominate the middle and long distances.Therefore, Kitano followed the same pattern and designed such a training method. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good.

This training method is very effective in exercising the cardiopulmonary function and limbs of horse racing girls. Whether it is a long-distance gold boat run or an explosive Zhongshan celebration, it is extremely suitable for this kind of training.The only disadvantage of this kind of training is that it places too much burden on the body of the racing girl.

Tachyon's medicine is easy to use, but it is not a panacea.Therefore, what Kitano is struggling with is that if he contributes a little bit more, it may be able to help the recovery of the golden ship and the celebration.

Thinking like this, Kitano couldn't help but search the drawer. Soon, he only saw a package with various slender needles opened by him.Kitano stared at these fine needles used for acupuncture, and listened to the sounds of gold boats and celebrations in the bathroom, and quietly made a decision in his heart.

"Just a little test to see if my skills have deteriorated... I haven't tried it for a week or two. My physical condition is not too bad now. I should... won't exhaust my energy and shorten my life, right? "

And just when such an idea came to Kitano's mind, suddenly, the sound of the bathroom door suddenly opening from behind immediately attracted Kitano's attention.

"Kitano-chan! Sister Nakayama and I have already finished washing! It's your turn next!"

The still energetic voice of the Golden Ship came again, and at the moment Kitano adjusted his wheelchair and turned around, he only saw the Golden Ship who had just taken a bath dressed extremely casually under the steam in the bathroom. , apparently without any worries in front of acquaintances.

I saw that Golden Boat was wearing a short-sleeved shirt that could barely cover his upper body. The short-sleeved shirt was a little too small, so that the two lumps of soft flesh on Golden Boat's particularly prominent chest were particularly prominent.

And all of this is not the point. The point is that Golden Ship's lower body, which is not covered by any other clothes except a pair of three-point sports shorts, and extremely slender and healthy legs, are just exposed in front of Kitano. Golden Ship The boatman didn't care at all.

And for a moment, even Kitano was in a daze as he stared at the golden ship.Golden Ship obviously noticed this, and deliberately showed a shy expression in front of Kitano, timidly saying:

"Ugh... Even Kitano-chan would be shy looking at people like this, right? But I am indeed a beautiful girl, Kokino-chan~"

"...Hey, why did your expression become serious all of a sudden? Are you dissatisfied with me, Little Golden Boat?"

However, Golden Ship's shyness did not last for half a minute. As Kitano's expression in front of him suddenly changed from dazed at the beginning to normal, his tone immediately turned into a very dissatisfied question.

Well, this is just right.But hearing the dissatisfied tone of the golden ship, Kitano completely reassured himself that this was the real golden ship, and the beautiful girl with reed hair that he had just seen in a trance was indeed an illusion.

For a moment, I felt that the golden ship was a beauty. If the Hermes before traveling heard this, their lives would be over, right?Bei Ye had such a strange thought in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel strange when he looked at the golden ship in front of him with a scrutinizing look.

Obviously Ah Chuan's face and figure are quite good-looking. Apart from the hat that limits his appearance, it's not impossible if he is healthy... But why do I have no idea when all of these are combined? no?

...Probably, this is Ah Chuan's sense of security in the world of horse racing girls, right?With the legendary power of good brothers, who would have any desire for a racing girl like Ah Chuan who could be a brother?Probably not.

"Hey, this is not at home. Please put on your pants."

Zhongshan Celebration, who also walked out of the bathroom, also threw a pair of sports trousers to Kitano in a calm tone. And the sister who heard the conversation clearly, when she glanced at the unhappy face of Golden Ship, There was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhongshan Celebration knew very well that compared to the good-looking Golden Ship, the small man who inherited the ancestral lineage of the Jin family did not have much substance.In the past, at Huang Jin's house, Zhongshan Qianqian and several others were indignant at Huang Huang's cow-like figure, wishing that Golden Boat's figure had grown on them.

But there was only one thing that made Zhongshan Festival extremely reassuring - that was how tempting Golden Boat's figure was, but with her face, Kitano couldn't be tempted.

Therefore, in the last few months of Kitano's stay in Huangjin's family, Huangjinchuan was basically responsible for taking care of Kitano's daily life like a nanny. These two people were the most familiar with each other in Huangjin's family.But there were no accidents at all between them, which is enough to show the "safety" of the golden ship.

"Hey." Golden Ship obviously understood the ridicule from his sister, and knew that his plan to prank his sister's jealousy was ruined.He walked towards Kitano with the same strides as before. After hugging Kitano's body, he walked towards the bathroom without saying a word.

"Bah." The bathroom door slowly closed, and soon, words that were very bad came from inside, but they had no effect on the members of the Jin family.

"Okay, take it off now. Xiao Jinfeng, I have to help Kitano-chan wipe your back. Don't cause any trouble to me."

"Well, please, A boat."

It was obvious that he should be shy enough to make a scene, but after several years of getting along with him, Kitano seemed to have completely adapted to the life of being taken care of by the "strange alien horse" in front of him.It has even reached a stage where he is not shy about being honest, and this also makes Kitano feel relieved again.

——As expected, I don’t have any feelings about the golden ship. The moment just now was just an illusion.

Chapter 45: The golden ship’s special care for Kitano

In the bathroom, as a new bathtub of water slowly flowed in, the naked Kitano was also immersed in the bathtub.Behind him, Golden Boat, who was wearing short-sleeved shorts, wiped Kitano's back without any care. Obviously, the two of them were accustomed to all this.

Before time travel, Kitano would never have imagined that a horse racing girl could take full care of her daily life.And this care is not just a nanny job of cleaning and cooking for him. Even bathing and dressing need to be accompanied by the other party at all times.

In fact, I can really get used to all this, and I don't even feel anything about the beautiful girl with red hair behind me... even though the other party is a golden ship.

"...Ah Chuan, thank you."

"Huh? Why did you say this suddenly?"

However, in the face of Kitano's sudden words, Jin Chuan, who had been wiping his back with peace of mind, stopped moving his hands.At this time, Kitano also turned his head slightly. He could not see the expression of the golden ship behind him, but he still tried his best to convey his gratitude to her and said:

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few years. To be honest, I didn't expect that you would be the one who took care of me the longest in the past few years."
