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

The look on Xiaoli Hat's face now...is just like his own.She was eating purely for the sake of nutrition. She didn't feel how important the food in front of her was to her, nor did she feel the sense of satiety. She had a huge appetite for a commoner, so she developed a crisis. To me, how rare and precious it is.

These are all things that surprised Kitano and felt something was wrong.Little Li Hat...that little Li Hat who seems to have never had enough, who can even eat a handful of grass roots, and who has a strong biological instinct for eating, is actually not enthusiastic about this matter?

"--One more, please."

And as Little Li Hat swept away the last plate of food on the table, everyone finally heard the burping sound from Little Li Hat that symbolized fullness. When they thought she was about to finish, they didn't expect Little Li Hat. But after raising his head, he decisively chose to continue.

"Okay~" But Golden Ship didn't think too much about it at all, probably because she was so impressed by Little Li Hat's bottomless appetite that no matter how much Little Li Hat ate, as long as she said "one more", she wouldn't eat it. No one doubted that she wouldn't be able to eat it.

However, just as Golden Boat stretched out his hand, intending to take the empty plate from Oguri Hat's hand, suddenly, two different palms pressed the wrists of Golden Boat and Oguri Hat almost at the same time, stopping their actions.

"Don't force yourself, Oguri!"

"Little Golden Boat, don't give her any more food."

The voices of Kitano and Tamamo almost overlapped at this moment, but the next moment, the eyes of these two people who were worried about Oguri Hat also collided in mid-air, and they both looked at each other's eyes. I was surprised, surprised that the other party would react the same way as me.

Because they all think they know Oguri Hat best here, and they all know very well where Oguri Hat's limits are.

"Oguri! You obviously had a meal an hour ago! Why do you continue to eat even though you can't eat anymore? What are you thinking!"

"Do you have to eat yourself until your stomach is perforated? If we hadn't been watching, why would you always think about abusing yourself!"

"...I'm sorry, Xiaoyu."

After being scolded by Tamamo Cross, Oguri Hat finally showed a little guilt expression, lowered his head to apologize very honestly, his pair of horse ears also lowered in frustration, and he bit his lips and said:

"But... I still feel really hungry. No matter how much I eat, my stomach feels empty."

"...What on earth is going on?" After hearing this, Kitano felt that he could no longer sit idly by.The changes in Oguri Hat in this world are so great that they are completely beyond Kitano's ability to understand.

In particular, this matter seemed to be related to Oguri Hat's physical and mental health. Kitano, who was concerned and confused, suddenly forgot about all the things that he was absolutely not soft-hearted this week. He set his sights on Tamamo Cross, hoping that this He is Xiaoli Hat's best friend at all times and can give him an answer.

"Little Li Hat, are you sick?"

"It's because I'm sick...Actually, we don't quite understand." Tamamo couldn't hide the worry when she saw Kitano's face. Although she felt a little frightened towards Kitano at first, she still subconsciously chose to trust Kitano and replied distressedly. :

"Xiaoli has been like this since we met her. Her appetite is as big as a bottomless pit, but we know that Xiaoli's stomach is not bottomless, but she always insists on stuffing food into her mouth even though she is full every time. "

"To be honest, if we hadn't worried about her every time we saw her, she might have died one day!"

"I have heard about it." At this moment, as a senior representative, Qianming obviously knew some past things better than Kitano and others who did not know the truth. He explained to Kitano: "Oguri Hat-san seems to have been being Troubled by a strong sense of hunger, Rudolph initially thought it was a physical illness of Little Li Hat and took her to the hospital for examination."

"Later, the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with Oguri Hat's physical condition. Her stomach did have stronger digestion capabilities than ordinary people... But her hunger was not caused by her organs, but was caused by her psychology."

"Psychological effect?" Kitano also grasped the key point of this question. However, Kitano and Oguri Hat's Zhou Mu also encountered this. He knew that Oguri Hat was born in a civilian family, and her appetite has always been a problem for the family. A huge expense. Although her mother has been trying her best to satisfy Little Li Hat's appetite, it is still difficult to meet Little Li Hat's needs.

This also caused Oguri Hat to react greatly to the crisis caused by hunger, even rising to the level of "desire to survive."It also took Kitano three years to make Oguri Hat eat every meal before finally resolving Oguri Hat's psychological crisis.

But...this week's episode, Oguri Hat, why has this situation not been resolved, but instead intensified?

Could it be... that her trainer this week has been controlling Oguri Hat's food intake?Let her needs go unmet?

When he thought of this, the good-tempered Kitano frowned slightly, and an unknown fire surged from his chest, but before it could reach his brain, he felt a strong dizziness, which immediately became violent. 's coughing.

"Trainer Kitano?!"

Kitano's reaction also shocked Qianming and others who knew that he was in poor health. Fortunately, Zhongshan Festival had quick eyesight and quick hands. He immediately grabbed a glass of water and skillfully began to feed Kitano, who was bowing his head and coughing, to drink.Representatives from Golden Ship and Qianming immediately patted Kitano on the back to help him regain his breathing stability...

Kitano's coughing almost attracted everyone's attention. However, although Tamamo had no time to move, but was looking at Kitano worriedly, no one noticed that Oguri Hat, who had always been very indifferent, looked at Kitano. The moment Kitano coughed, his pupils shrank, and he subconsciously made a small movement to step forward...

At that moment, Li Hao felt as if her heart had been pricked by a needle. The sense of crisis... was almost the same as the hunger that had been bothering her.

But why are I so nervous?Because the person in front of me...does his situation seem to be worse than mine?

No, it's not just this. This person, in him...maybe there is something she has been looking for.

"...I don't know why, but I have dreamed of a smell."

Just when Kitano had just stopped coughing and was about to ask about the details of Oguri Hat's life over the years, Oguri Hat broke the silence without any warning.The horse racing girl looked at Kitano with sharp eyes and told her secret word by word to the person she thought she could trust.

"Although it's strange and I can't describe it,... it's a very gentle taste. Once I taste it once, I will never forget it."

"I've been looking for where this taste comes from, but I haven't found it until now. No matter how many delicacies I eat, no matter how much I eat, I still haven't found the taste I want to eat."

"Whenever I think about it... I feel empty, so I have to keep eating until I can't think about anything else..."

Having said this, a guilty apology appeared on Oguri Hat's face. He bowed slightly towards Kitano and the others and said softly: "I'm sorry, I caused trouble to everyone...I said some inexplicable words."

"——Oguri Hat-san, you are saying that you have been looking for a smell, right?"

However, just when Oguri Hat was about to leave, Kitano suddenly interrupted her movement.When Oguri Hat turned his head and everyone's eyes were focused on Kitano again, Kitano also took a deep breath. He seemed to have guessed something, and he showed a gentle smile again and said:

"Although I'm not completely sure, I think... I might be able to help."

Chapter 13: The meal Kitano cooked for Oguri Hat, the person Oguri Hat cannot forget the most?

Kitano took Oguri Hat and his group back to his dormitory from the cafeteria, and Kitano brought them here just to verify a guess he had, one that might make him have a different understanding of the project he was in. A well-informed guess.

"Bei Ye? Are you really okay? Can your body really hold up to cooking a meal?"

"Don't force yourself to do anything for me. You only have half a life left. It's not worth it if you die because of a meal!"

In Kitano's dormitory, when Kitano proposed the idea of ​​dragging his sick body to prepare a meal for Oguri Hat, Zhongshan Jie and others were really shocked, especially since they knew Kitano's physical condition very well. The two sisters of the Jin family looked at him even more worriedly.

Kitano has lived in Huang Jin's house for the past few years. It can be said that the Golden Ship and Zhongshan Celebration have seen Kitano's physical condition getting worse day by day. From being able to walk normally to now having to rely on a wheelchair, they don't say it, but in fact they are worse than Kitano. Everyone cares about Bei Ye's every move, fearing that something unexpected will happen to him, causing his already fragile life to completely wither.

As for cooking, that is something they can't even think about.Even when Kitano was still healthy, Zhongshan Celebration, Golden Ship and others had never enjoyed such treatment. But now, Kitano proposed to cook for Oguri Hat, whom they met for the first time, which really made them feel incredible.

"Don't worry, I won't force myself." Kitano also put on an apron for himself with the help of the golden ship, and said softly to the worried Zhongshan Festival:

"Although my health is not good during this period, I can still make a simple dish."

"Trainer Kitano... I think it's better for you to listen to your juniors?"

At this moment, not only the two girls, but also Representative Qianming and Tamamo can't stand it anymore.Especially Representative Qianming. When she saw Kitano showing unprecedented concern for Oguri Hat, whom she had never met before, and even forcing herself, just to try to see if she could untie Oguri Hat's knot, Qianming felt inexplicably I feel very upset.

But now Qianming has no time to pay attention to this, and she hopes that Kitano will not force herself.It's a pity that today's representative Qianming doesn't know Kitano well enough, otherwise she would understand that Kitano's biggest concern is everything related to his responsibilities. On this principle, no one can persuade Kitano.

What's more, Kitano himself is now extremely concerned about this issue.Oguri Hat's psychological problems and the taste she was looking for... Although it might be his own sentimentality, he couldn't think of anything else that would suit Oguri Hat better than the dishes he had cooked for Oguri Hat before. Said all this.

In the past, when Kitano served as Oguri Hat's trainer, although he always allowed Oguri Hat to eat freely, the meals at Treson Academy were not free.Although Treson has kept the price very low for the food provided to the jockey girls who generally have a large appetite, Oguri Hat's family background and her incredibly large appetite still frequently make her enter the center. In the early days, she fell into an economic crisis - fortunately she had Kitano.

At first, Kitano often paid for extra meals for the embarrassed Oguri Hat. Later, even though Oguri Hat's bounty was enough for her to eat as much as she wanted, she still pestered Kitano from time to time, hoping that Kitano would personally feed her. kitchen.

This situation continued until Kitano's life span was approaching and he could no longer support cooking. Oguri Hat never mentioned this matter again.

During this period of taking care of Xiaoli Mao, what Kitano made most often for Xiaoli Mao was delicious and cheap fried rice - the kind that can pile the plate very high.

Could it be that... the "taste" Oguri Hat mentioned was related to these dishes in their past?

But...it's obviously a new episode, why does Oguri Hat still have the consciousness of the past?This situation has never happened before, or is this a timeline that I have never encountered before and is affected by myself?

Various questions flashed through Bei Ye's mind, but all of these would only be known after he verified them.

"It's okay! Our cooking skills are also very good!" And Tamamo obviously didn't want Kitano to be too reluctant. He immediately stood up and patted his small chest, and said confidently: "Trainer Kitano, just tell us the steps. Okay, we can do the physical work like spooning instead of you!"

"——No, thank you Tamamo-san, but you can leave this matter to me."

However, at this moment Kitano shook his head and rejected Tamamojishi's kindness.The same ingredients are in different hands. Even if the steps seem to be the same, the taste may be completely different. Kitano doesn't want to let Oguri Hat down again because of this mistake.

What's more... Kitano himself actually has a little bit of persistence in his heart.He was somewhat hopeful that the smell Xiaoli Hat mentioned was related to him. In this case... he at least knew that after Zhou Mu's death, he was also cared about by that girl.

This matter can only be confirmed by himself.

"I hope my physical fitness can still support me in doing this..."

Kitano also gritted his teeth. Perhaps it was because he had a belief in his heart that supported him. Kitano, who had no strength to stand up several months ago, pressed his hands firmly on the armrests of his wheelchair. When everyone was worried, Kitano gritted his teeth. Under his gaze, he stood up tremblingly again.

During this process, Nakayama, Golden Boat, Qianming, Tamamo and others next to Kitano all looked very nervous. They were afraid that Kitano would not stand firm and fall down, so they stepped forward to help him immediately. he.

At the dining table nearby, Oguri Hat, who had been silent all this time, also cast a look at Kitano... There was unbearability and hesitation in her expression. Why wasn't she suffering in her heart? She didn't want Kitano to force himself so hard?

But...that answer, that answer that has troubled me for so long, maybe I have an answer now.

Oguri Hat had this premonition. She stared at Kitano's back and felt that her heartbeat began to accelerate. Everything in front of her seemed to be gradually similar to and overlapping with her and her vague dreams...

"Trainer-san, I won the game today! I finally defeated Tamamo!"

"I already know. Well done, Xiaoli Hat. I'll reward you today. I'll cook again. This time you can eat as much as you want."

"Well, you're so kind...**."

Who is that?In a daze, the fragment from the dream appeared again in Xiaoli Mao's mind. However, in the dream, the name he called that person... what was it?

Why don't you remember?Why did I forget his name?Is he important to me?

"——Large portion of fried rice, Xiaoli Mao."

And just when Oguri Hat was thinking hard about who the figure in the dream was, suddenly, the voice in the dream and Kitano's voice in reality overlapped again. Just when Oguri Hat came to his senses, a sudden A large portion of fried rice with steaming heat and rich aroma was served in front of Xiaoli Mao.

After finishing all this, Kitano sat back in the wheelchair as if he was exhausted. Except for the stunned Oguri Hat, almost everyone came to Kitano's side immediately and asked anxiously:

"Trainer Kitano? Are you okay?"

"Are you okay Kitano?"

"Kitano-chan, are you tired?"

"——Don't worry about me, I'm fine." The drain on Kitano's physical strength by dragging his sick body to cook such a simple meal was visible to the naked eye.I saw Kitano, who was sitting back in the wheelchair, his already sickly pale face even paler. This time, even his lips began to turn white. Sweat continued to fall from his face, and he was still breathing heavily.

But compared with the embarrassing current situation, Kitano's spirit is as high as ever. He stared at Oguri Hat who was still staring at the fried rice in a daze, with an unconcealed look of expectation in his eyes. After swallowing his saliva, he spoke He barely suppressed his excitement and said:

"Xiao Li Hat, give it a try. Although I'm not very confident... but this is the best I can do now."

"……I'm gonna start now."

In full view of the public, Xiaoli Mao's expression returned to calmness once again. After clasping her hands together again, she picked up the ladle again and put a mouthful of fried rice into her mouth.

The next moment, when Xiaoli Mao was also filled with excitement and chewed slowly as never before, savoring every trace of the fried rice in her mouth, she stopped all her movements.

...To be fair, this is not the best fried rice Xiaoli Mao has ever tasted.Some of the rice grains were not completely fried, probably because Kitano's physical strength did not support him. The seasoning was also a bit random. Although it was delicious, it felt like it could be better.

But, it was this kind of randomness... that made Xiaoli Hat's thoughts stop at this moment. She wholeheartedly felt the taste of every grain of rice in her mouth, and thought about it for a long time...

"First time we meet, Trainer-san, I am Xiaoli Hat. Mom said you are willing to be my trainer? Is it true?"

"Trainer Sang, someone from the Central Committee came to me before, and they said I could go to the Central Treson Academy! - Huh? You know? And did you agree?"

"Trainer-san...is there something you didn't tell me? You didn't tell me that after I went to the Central Committee, you could no longer be my trainer."

"I don't want to leave...Trainer-san...why do you want me to leave? I don't want to be separated from you."

"—I'm going to win."

The voices belonging to Xiaoli Hat began to reverberate in her mind as she savored the aftertaste. The scenes that flashed by were her journey from the local to the central. A journey that I will never forget.

But it seems...it seems different from everything she experienced in her memory?

The trainer who supports her, the trainer who keeps cheering her on behind her back and supports her going to the Central... Who is it?

She obviously had no such experience. Everything had been smooth sailing on her journey from the local to the central government. She stood out in the local area, was recognized by Lu Duo for her talent, and entered the central government... She had experienced all of this. That's right.

Why does she feel that these illusory dreams...are her real life?

In the dream, Little Li Hat saw a gate in a trance - that was the gate of Treson College, which he had seen countless times.

Is this the scene when she first entered Central Treson?

But... there seemed to be someone waiting for her behind the gate?

Under the gaze of Xiaoli Hat, the familiar figure standing in front of her with his back to her slowly turned around. At that moment, the unprecedentedly bright sunshine made Xiaoli Hat unable to see her face clearly. But just such a figure made her recognize the other person at a glance...the person she was inseparable from.

"——Hey, Xiao Li Mao, did you have a good meal on the way from the local area to the central government?"

"I hope you don't mind. Even if we change places, the trainer is the same person. And he is still a new trainer who just got the central qualification certificate yesterday and has been doing nothing in the local area before."

The man smiled jokingly at Little Li Hat, and the next moment, the reed-haired horse racing girl was crying silently and ran forward, giving the person she missed so much, a hug that she relied on most... …

"...so familiar."

"Ok?"

As his thoughts returned to reality, Oguri Hat's muttering attracted the immediate attention of Kitano and others.Under everyone's gaze, they saw little Li Hao finally reacting after being silent for a long time, which made them nervous.

For the first time, a faint smile appeared on the face of this horse racing girl who had always been indifferent and seemed to have no emotions. She held back the tears in her eyes. After taking a deep breath, she softly said:

"The taste is so familiar, it's very similar to what I've tasted before."

"It seems that it's still a little bit far away from the taste I've been pursuing."

Chapter 14: Kitano is in danger of death? !

Xiaoli Hat's words were very soft, and his tone was even gentler than ever before.However, the words she spoke made everyone's hopes that were full of expectations once again frustrated. Everyone's heart sank again, but some people seemed to be silently relieved?
