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

On the training ground, after experiencing the disappointment of defeat, the now silent Suzuka also cheered up and thanked the Zhongshan Festival and the Golden Ship who had accompanied her during the training.

Suzuka also got up early today, not just because of her own habits.It was also because after signing the Mejiro Peak bet, Suzuka was determined to become Kitano's "auxiliary trainer". She followed the rules early and chose her replacement in the fight with only three months left. In the time, let the players win the highest level competition as soon as possible.

Suzuka is very self-aware. She knows that she is not a trainer, and she does not have the vicious vision of some trainers. Therefore, she pursues the idea of ​​"there must be a few big fish in one net" and treats any The junior horse girl who is interested in receiving her guidance accepts the order.

——However, on the first day, Suzuka had already eliminated nearly half of the juniors in the middle club.There is no other reason. Suzuka's "explosive escape" is indeed not something that everyone can imitate.But Suzuka only knows this way of running. Once she doesn't use the escape tactic, she will feel uncomfortable all over, and she won't be able to get up any energy.

But this also leads to the fact that there are very few horse racing girls who can adapt to Suzuka's running style... But this is not the worst thing. After all, there are naturally some horse racing girls in the middle class, but the worst problem is that , Suzuka's desire to run beyond ordinary people.

As Kitano suspected, Suzuka is not good at teaching people to fish.Therefore, as expected, she chose the method of teaching by words and deeds, letting these horse racing girls run with her and feel her rhythm. She believed that by doing so, these juniors would understand!

As a result, Suzuka, who was determined to teach her juniors well, took the lead and served as a reference for her students who were running away with a higher level of enthusiasm and concentration than in her previous competitions.

...Then, in the eyes of the nearly desperate horse racing girls, they only saw Suzuka-senpai who started the race with them, and the gap between him and them was getting wider and wider, even if they tried their best to keep up with Suzuka's speed. , and it still couldn't change the fact that after 1000 meters, Suzuka was leading them by almost half a lap.

Suzuka was definitely injured, and because of the psychological shadow of the fracture, she had never been able to burst out at the fastest speed.But after all, Suzuka is a senior in the upper division, and her strength far exceeds that of the freshmen who have just entered the middle division. Coupled with her escape tactics, it is not a problem at all to make a small half circle in the mid-term.

As for the Zhongshan Festival and the Golden Ship... they all followed Kitano for warm-up training, but they were attracted by Suzuka's heroic appearance later. When they realized it, the three people who had a tacit understanding in the competition had already started to fight. The 2000-meter grass field competition was held.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, Suzuka-kun, this game is quite interesting."

But at this time, Golden Ship expressed her gratitude to Suzuka in a surprisingly normal manner. Perhaps she saw through Suzuka's sadness at the moment, so she had no intention of saying anything that would irritate Suzuka at this time. Discourse.On the contrary, the Nakayama Celebration on the side couldn't see any expression of joy after winning this competition. Instead, he turned his attention to Suzuka's left leg that was still shaking slightly.

"...No wonder I didn't exert any force on the final straight. Is it because of the fracture and any sequelae?"

"No, last time at the racecourse, she came to ask me about my courage to run... Could it be..."

Zhongshan Celebration seemed to have vaguely discovered the problem.It was only then that the racing girls Suzuka led were running to the finish line one after another out of breath. Judging from the way they collapsed from exhaustion as soon as they reached the finish line, they were already working hard to keep up. I tried to follow Suzuka's rhythm, but it obviously ended in failure.

"No way... it's too fast, Suzuka-senpai is too fast..."

"How can you keep up with this? It's impossible to learn."

"Sure enough, I'd better give up... It's not that easy to be Suzuka-senpai's disciple..."

What people say when they are extremely tired are often the truth.Suzuka obviously also understood this truth. She listened to the voices of these racing girls. The failure of the competition and the failure of leading the team, the two blows hit Suzuka like two heavy punches at this moment, making her For a moment I felt breathless.

Why, obviously I only joined this gamble with a glimmer of hope.She also clearly knows that the possibility of winning this bet is very low. Senior Gao Feng dares to participate in this bet designed by herself. She must also be confident about winning. All this is what she wants.

But why...she still feels sad?Do I really value this bet that much?

In order to relieve the pain, Suzuka couldn't help but close her eyes. However, in the darkness, Suzuka suddenly felt some rustling sounds in her ears, which began to become clearer...

"Trainer Sang, why did you choose me? It's obvious that I haven't fully come into my own yet..."

"Trainer-san? Where are you? Sorry to borrow this - Trainer-san? You came to see my game, right?"

"Trainer Sang...that child named Special Zhou, do you think highly of her?"

Those voices... seem to be her own voices?But who is she calling?Who is her trainer?

Moreover, why do I feel so happy, so longing, and so sad when I hear this title?

All these sounds that Suzuka couldn't identify made her feel mixed at this moment.But in the end, after Suzuka opened her eyes, she still managed to control her emotions. She immediately turned her head and bowed deeply to the racing girls who had fallen from exhaustion, forcing her voice He said calmly:

"Everyone, thank you for your participation. It's my fault for causing trouble to everyone this time."

"Sorry, I just want to... be alone for a while, so please excuse me."

Having said that, Silent Suzuka seemed to be unable to control her emotions in the next second, and once again ran away towards the other end of the playground in an explosive manner.Golden Ship and Nakayama Celebration also reached out at the same time, but failed to prevent Suzuka from escaping.

"What happened?" At this moment, Representative Chiaki pushed Kitano to the arena, and Suzuka looked like she was about to cry, which had to make Kitano feel that Suzuka was being raped this time. Losing the game was very exciting.

After all, Zhongshan Celebration and Golden Ship are still freshmen from the racehorse girls who have just debuted, and Suzuka, as a senior, was surpassed by the two freshmen at the last moment. In addition, she herself suffered a lot due to the fracture. It is not incomprehensible to be tortured by psychological shadows and fall into self-doubt for a while.

"Trainer Kitano, now we should go find Suzuka-san first." Representative Chiaki immediately made the decision for Kitano.After Beiye nodded slightly, he suddenly thought of something and turned his attention to the Zhongshan Festival and the golden ship. .

The meaning in Kitano's eyes was also very clear. He hoped that his actions would be recognized by the two responsible persons.

"...Hey, it's up to you this time." After a brief tangle, Zhongshan Yingying finally chose to glance at Kitano and pretended not to care and agreed to Kitano's actions.

"Go, Kitano-chan! It's up to you whether you can save Suzuka-san!" The Golden Ship smiled happily and supported Kitano's action.Rather, if Kitano doesn't do this this time, Golden Ship will be unhappy.

After all...he is such a person, a person who wants to do the best for everyone.

Huang Jinchuan was murmuring in her heart, and her unconscious move to touch the long reed hair next to her ear seemed to have touched some strange corner, causing Huanghuan's expression to freeze suddenly. , a pair of pupils could not stop trembling, as if they had seen some huge beast in the storm.

The next moment, Golden Ship, who stopped his movements, finally calmed down after taking a deep breath.And when she opened her eyes again, her initial joy, recognition and a bit of throbbing emotion towards Kitano's actions had all disappeared like smoke in the past...

……

"Can't do it, can't do it, why can't I do it!"

"I obviously just want to get back on the field! I obviously just want to run with all my strength again! Why can't I do it now!"

On the other side, Suzuka, who was running wildly with her head lowered, seemed to be emotionally broken at this moment... She forced her legs to explode and run as fast as she thought she could, but no matter what, that feeling came from her heart. There is no way to eliminate the fear in my heart.

As long as he wants to exert strength, the scene of broken bones will appear; as long as he wants to run at full speed, it seems that he will break his bones again the next moment and say goodbye to the competition forever.

Suzuka, who was running aimlessly, didn't even know where she ended up, nor did she know when she subconsciously started running in a left turn around the road.She also forgot how many kilometers she had run along the way. Compared to her physical fitness and endurance, she was actually exhausted at this time.

Suzuka could feel that her legs were sore and painful, which was a sign that she had overtrained.However, no matter how obsessed with running she was in the past, Suzuka would stop as soon as she felt the pain. However, at this moment, instead of stopping, she forced herself to run faster.

Maybe...it's not bad just like this.Let her run freely for the last time. After one more fracture, all her hopes will be shattered.

And after that, I no longer have to have such expectations, and I don't have to continue to torture myself.Just let her flash by like a shooting star!

"Suzuka-san! Stop! Wait—Trainer Kitano?! Don't go there!"

"!"

However, a sudden and terrifying female voice suddenly brought Suzuka back to her senses while she was running wildly. When she raised her head and looked forward.A few dozen meters ahead, Kitano, sitting in a wheelchair, was standing in front of her!It seemed that if she didn't stop at the next moment, she would knock Kitano away.

"puff!"

Almost at the moment when he saw Kitano clearly, Suzuka's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously slowed down his pace. After a buffering distance, Suzuka stopped the good one some distance away from Kitano. A step away.

But the moment Suzuka stopped, a latent feeling of powerlessness hit her nerves. Her sore legs suddenly softened, causing her to lose her balance and involuntarily He rushed towards Kitano in front...

"Snapped."

The next moment, Suzuka felt a trance in front of her, without any pain as she imagined... She was held in a warm embrace.

"You don't have to force yourself like this, Suzuka." Kitano stared at the horse racing girl in front of him, whom he had almost lost. He had witnessed how much she wanted to bring him victory, and had experienced everything he tried his best to protect her. Now, when he saw this pitiable girl again, he subconsciously comforted her with the same tone as before:

"You've done well enough, there's nothing more to prove, Suzuka."

"Now, take a good rest and forget all your worries. When you wake up, everything will be fine."

Along with Kitano's gentle voice and the soft touch that continued to come from the top of her head, gradually, an indescribable emotion surged into Suzuka's heart at this moment... She didn't know what it was. What kind of feeling... But she only knew that she had only one reaction at the moment...

I saw Suzuka unconsciously grabbing Kitano's sleeve. She did not leave his arms, but buried her head as much as possible into the warm embrace in front of her, as if she wanted to merge herself with this person. One body.

Gradually, representatives Kitano and Chiaki felt the trembling body of Suzuka, as well as the unwillingness and grievances that were gradually vented.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah..."

Silent Suzuka, who was so quiet that it made people think she was stoic, was crying in Kitano's arms at this moment, as if she was a child who had lost everything. The one he trusted the most, the only person he could hold on to, was leaving him. All the grievances and sadness were vented at this moment.

It was as if this scene was what she wanted to do most many, many years ago, but at that time she never had the chance to convey her emotions to that person.

Chapter 50: Suzuka, full of dirty thoughts, Kitano prepares acupuncture treatment

"Grumbling..."

"So...why did things become like this? Why am I here?"

Half an hour later, in a bathroom filled with heat and mist, Silent Suzuka, who was now naked and curled up in the bathtub, buried half of her face in the slightly green water. The red cheeks and the blisters that kept coming out of her mouth were further evidence of her inner unrest at this time.

Suzuka didn't know when she was brought to Kitano's dormitory while she was crying, nor did she know how she was persuaded to stay in Kitano's dormitory and take a bath.When she came back to her senses, she was already immersed in the comfort brought by the bath, and her whole body was in a state of relaxation.

But Suzuka's relaxation didn't last long, and she soon realized that something was wrong with her previous state - why did she fall into trainer Kitano's arms and cry? !

"Ah..." The shame that she realized afterward came to Suzuka's heart, causing her to cover her red face involuntarily, and let out a wailing sound like a small animal, which echoed softly in the bathroom. With.

"It's so shameful... so shameful... why would I do such a thing, hugging someone I don't know well for no reason, and crying so hard."

"Isn't this strange? He is still taking a shower in his dormitory. What will happen if this continues..."

In Teresin Academy, many people's impression of Silent Suzuka is that she is different from most racing girls... In this country, because of the "glorious history" of many predecessors, choosing a trainer is almost a matter of deciding who to be. Tresonne, who is bound to be with her for life, Suzuka is one of the few people who does not pay the slightest attention to the trainer issue, but is just like the seniors who were still opening up the future for the Japanese racing girl business many years ago. , focusing wholeheartedly on competition and training.

In addition, Suzuka rarely participates in various events, so many people, including her roommate, Special Zhou, think that Suzuka is a stoic horse racing girl - but this is not the case.

It might be better to say that Trayson Academy is a serious school, but this is an academy for jockey girls, and it is also an academy that allows budding jockey girls to have one-on-one teaching with mature and talented trainers. .Here, let alone a more normal relationship, even if it is due to the imbalance of teaching resources, the racing girls will do anything to compete for their own "resources".

Kidnapping, imprisonment, hypnosis... In such an era and environment where a horse racing girl will do everything for her "future", even if Suzuka is as pure and as blank as a piece of paper, there is no way she will not be contaminated at all. .

Suzuka had discussed more than once with Special Week in the dormitory and several racing girls from the "Golden Generation" about which trainer was found from which racing girl's home or basement; Things like going on a few boats and being squeezed dry by the people in charge... Even if Suzuka wasn't interested, there was no way she wouldn't understand at all.

In the past, Suzuka would treat these as after-dinner jokes, but now... Suzuka finds herself in a situation that seems to be different from those rumored racing girls who are relatively gentle and achieve the truth with their trainers... It seems that there is no What's the difference? !

How can a horse race girl trust someone to take a bath in the bathroom like this?Even if the other party is a member of the opposite sex, this is terrible no matter what!

Now it’s just a bath, what’s the next step?massage?Pinch your feet?Full body spa?And then again——

"Cold, calm down, Silent Suzuka, don't be swayed so easily. Trainer Kitano is not that kind of person, and he doesn't have the conditions to force you to do anything like that."

"What's more, isn't Senior Qianming still outside? Senior Qianming can't possibly be Trainer Kitano's accomplice, right? She seems to be somewhat interested in Trainer Kitano..."

Finally, after Suzuka's intense psychological struggle and feeling that she should be relatively safe, Suzuka began to focus on the bath again. Looking at the slightly green water, she couldn't help but sigh:

"Speaking of which... Trainer Kitano seemed to have poured this potion into the bathtub before letting me take a bath. He said it could eliminate fatigue faster. I didn't expect it to be so effective."

"Did you get it from Arisuko-san? With that person's character... Trainer Kitano must have paid a high price in exchange for these potions, right? It was to give Nakayama-san and gold Did Mr. Boat specially prepare it?"

"...Then, use these for me, okay? I'm obviously not his responsibility at all."

In the bathtub, Suzuka could clearly feel her fatigue dissipating bit by bit in the hot water. The relaxing comfort made it difficult for Suzuka to hide her moans sometimes, but it was because of such comfort that Suzuka Lu understood that this potion was definitely hard to come by, and it must be distributed sparingly.

However, when I think of Kitano at that time, when he poured a whole bottle of medicine into the bathtub without any scruples, Suzuka looked a little distressed while soaking in the bathtub... but she didn't even notice it. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Trainer Kitano is a very gentle person. Even though I have nothing to do with him, he was willing to stop me when I lost control. If his body was knocked down by me who was going at full speed, it would definitely be very bad. Yes.

So now, I should have nothing to worry about, so I shouldn't let him wait outside any longer.

"Wow." Suzuka, who was thinking like this, finally slowly stood up from the bathtub. She was relatively introverted, even if no one was watching at the moment, she still did not forget to wrap her body with a bath towel.

It was at this time that Suzuka walked to the bathroom door to dry herself, but she clearly heard the whispers of Representative Chiaki and Kitano coming from outside the door.

"Are you really going to do this? Trainer-san? This one of yours is... so long, are you sure it won't scare Suzuka-san?"

long? !Suzuka's movements of wiping her body were all because of these words, which made her tremble with fright. Suzuka, who had been brainstorming in the bathroom, immediately thought of something bad...

"There is no other way. The only way I can think of is this, which can let Suzuka-san release all the fatigue in his body." Kitano's voice came slowly and said softly:

"It will definitely hurt a little by then. After all, I haven't done it for a long time... In order to avoid Suzuka-san's overreaction, Qianming, could you please hold Suzuka down then?"

"It doesn't matter. If it's Trainer Sang, I can agree to anything."

Can you even agree to this? !Senior Qianming, are you too magnanimous?

In the bathroom, Suzuka felt like she was about to faint just listening to these conversations.The terrible conversation between Chiaki and Kitano had made Suzuka mentally prepared to run away as soon as she left the house.Suzuka, who had just stepped out of the bathtub, didn't notice that her legs were still shaking slightly, but it was not entirely due to the sequelae of excessive exercise. Deep in her heart, she seemed to be slightly nervous and vaguely nervous. ……expect?

My legs are still shaking. Can I really escape?If it's Senior Qianming... From such a short distance, I'm afraid there's no way he can escape in his current state. He will definitely be captured by Senior Qianming, right?

Then he still can't escape... In other words, should he be mentally prepared for this?Trainer Kitano is still able to do such a thing in his current physical condition, which is really amazing...

He should be very gentle, right?Suzuka also unconsciously thought of the worst outcome in her mind, but her palms moved one step ahead of her brain, and slowly opened the bathroom door...

"Awaited……"

Suzuka? !what are you doing!Isn't this just a case of being captured without a fight? !

Suzuka walked out of the bathroom, but did not run away as soon as she expected. She lowered her head and flushed her cheeks. At this moment, Suzuka felt like she was in love with her boyfriend tacitly in a romance novel. Just like the innocent girl in the hotel, she knew what would happen next, but she felt so uneasy... but she still expected something.

"Oh, Suzuka-san, you're out."

At this moment, Kitano, who was discussing with Representative Chiaki, also immediately turned the direction of the wheelchair. When he saw Suzuka, whose expression seemed to be much calmer although his expression could not be seen, he finally relaxed and asked softly:

"Suzuka-san, if you don't mind, can you lie down here on the bed? I want to see how your legs are recovering. If necessary, I can help you with a course of acupuncture so that you can The legs are a little more relaxed.”

"Of course, this will hurt a little, can you bear it?"

"...Acupuncture?"

However, Suzuka, who originally lowered her head and waited for something to happen, raised her head in confusion when Kitano said these words.What soon came into view was the package lying flat on the bed, with various long needles in it.

It turns out...that's what happened.After her brain shut down for a moment, Suzuka finally realized what she had misunderstood. Her cheeks, which were already red, were now so red that they were about to bleed.The only thing Suzuka is glad about now is that she didn't run away as soon as she got out of the bathroom. Otherwise, if Kitano asks her in the future and she says something like "it's obviously trainer Kitano who has evil intentions against me", she might have to do it. Run to the moon to live.

What made Suzuka even more confused was... why would she expect such a thing!Why do I still feel a little lost in my heart when I now know that it was all a misunderstanding?

Is it possible that I really want trainer Kitano to do something to me?It was obvious that they had only known each other for a short time, and it was obviously the first time for me to be so close to the opposite sex...

However, no matter how confused Suzuka's mind was, it could not change her current body, and she was already approaching Kitano unconsciously.When she finally carefully sat down on Kitano's bed, she rolled up her trouser legs tremblingly, revealing her little feet that were slightly red after taking a bath but were surprisingly delicate...
