A cute girl’s heart is capable of anything

...Why do these words she said sound more and more wrong?

"But...since you want to borrow money from me, trainer, as the party being lent money, can I ask some questions?"

Then, he heard the girl in front of him change her subject and say this to himself.

"For example - Himeji Tereson's current financial situation?"

"..."

Looking at the black-haired horse girl in front of him who was staring closely at him, Saito Asuka was silent for a moment, and then sighed leisurely.

"You kid..."

Saito Asuka shook his head and said: "...You have no need to ask this at all, right?"

"Just leave the troublesome matters to us adults to deal with. You just need to run happily on the field and do what you want to do."

"Eh...is this how the trainer sees it?"

Qingzhu Fengya pouted and looked a little unhappy: "...but trainer, have you forgotten what you said to me when we first met?"

...What did you say when we first met?

Saito Asuka was stunned for a moment, then frowned and recalled what he had said that day.

"'...just like the guide in the game who guides the protagonist on the road to salvation'."

Seeing Asuka Saito thinking hard, Qingzhu Fengya kindly reminded: "Trainer, is that what you said at the time?"

"Uh-huh?"

Saito Asuka, who didn't know what Qingzhu Fengya wanted to say, was deeply puzzled: "...What's wrong with this sentence?"

"Since you want me to be the savior of this academy, trainer, you should also tell me the current situation of Himeji Tereson Academy, right?"

When saying this, the expression on Qingzhu Fengya's face became serious.

"...While saying, 'Please save this academy!', he didn't tell me anything and just asked me to run the race. How do I know if I have done it and whether my efforts so far have been effective? ?”

"Do you think I'm right? Trainer?"

"..."

Saito Asuka looked at the black-haired horse girl standing in front of him, staring at him seriously.

"I really lost to you."

After a long silence, Saito Asuka sighed helplessly, then waved to her, turned around and walked towards the way he came.

"Let's go to the chairman's office to talk."

Said the elegant black-haired man with his back to Qingzhu.

……

"Wow...why is it getting more and more serious?"

Looking at the contents on the pieces of paper handed over by Saito Asuka, Qingzhu Fengya's eyes widened: "Obviously, I have won the championship in previous competitions, right?"

"Because after your competition, the [-]% fee deducted from your bonus will be completely useless to the current Himeji Tereson Academy."

"Because the [-]% bonus that was deducted is too small?"

Qingzhu Fengya thought for a while and then asked.

"I can't say it's because there are too few."

Saito Asuka shook his head: "It's just that Treson Himeji needs money too much now."

"As soon as the money was invested, it disappeared."

...There are really too many places where Himeji Treson Academy has to spend money.

The funds needed for the daily operation of the academy, the equipment that has not been maintained for a long time, and the funds that need to be spent in other aspects...

Just thinking of these things, Saito Asuka felt that his head was getting a migraine.

Ah... I really want to put all these troubles aside, cover myself with a quilt and sleep comfortably.

"No wonder trainer, you want to borrow money from me..."

After hearing Saito Asuka's explanation, Qingzhu nodded clearly: "Then... I will give all the competition bonuses I have received so far to you, the trainer~?"

"All? Wait, I didn't want that much."

Saito Asuka was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "I just wanted to ask you to borrow a small part of it, I never thought..."

"But trainer, you need money now, right?"

Qingzhu Fuga interrupted Saito Asuka's unfinished words with a smile: "According to the current situation of Himeji Teresin Academy, all the money you said before will be used up in a short time, right?"

"This……"

Saito Asuka hesitated: "But in this case, what about yourself? What should you do about yourself?"

"Oh, it's okay."

Qingzhu Fengya waved her hand: "...I usually don't spend much money."

"Trainer, if you are really embarrassed, just leave me some money to buy shoes and shoes~?"

"..."

Looking at Qingzhu Fengya who remained enthusiastic at all times in front of him, Saito Asuka sighed leisurely.

"...Thank you so much, Fengya."

"Huh? No need to thank you!"

Qingzhu Fengya put her hands on her hips: "Aren't these things that I, the 'savior', should do?"

"If you really want to thank me...can you leave some traces of my visit to this school~?"

"of course can."

To Qingzhu Fuya, this sounded like something he would say in a joke, but Saito Asuka gently nodded his head.

Please save this school that is about to be abandoned! : Chapter 72: The Crimson King

"... Qingzhu Fengya! Qingzhu Fengya is still accelerating!"

On the field, the commentator looked at the black-haired horse girl who was leading the way, and explained the game at such a fast pace that she might lose her breath at any time: "She has pulled the horse girl in No. 2 out of six horses' body. The gap is huge!”

"There are still 200 meters to go before the finish line! Do they still have a chance to catch up?!"

"Qingzhu Fengya is still widening the distance! No horse girl can catch up with her anymore!"

"100 meters! 50 meters!"

"Rush the line!"

"The well-deserved winner of this game! Let us congratulate the most popular horse girl in this game - Qingzhu Fengya for winning this game!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh--!"

Standing on the grass, Qingzhu Fengya raised her hand with a smile and waved to the cheering audience.

Then, he turned around and walked towards the player tunnel.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Saito Asuka, who had been waiting there for a long time, came up to her. After handing her a bottle of water, he took out a towel and wiped the sweat from her face.

"Huh..."

Qingzhu Fengya, who drank a whole bottle of water in one breath, let out a long breath, then returned the empty water glass to Saito Asuka: "Thank you, trainer."

"I have done nothing."

Saito Asuka shook his head: "But...are you really okay?"

"You have been participating in competitions for a while. Don't you feel tired?"

"Me? I have no problem."

Qingzhu Fengya shook his head: "I feel like I'm in great shape now!"

"Really, trainers, you really think too much!"

While saying this, Qingzhu Fengya put his hands on his hips, his cheeks slightly bulging, and expressed his dissatisfaction to Saito Asuka: "Why do you think I am a horse girl who likes to force myself?"

"But you have been participating in competitions during this time."

Saito Asuka said worriedly: "...Are you really okay?"

"It's really no problem."

Qingzhu Fengya said with a smile: "Or...trainer, what problem do you hope will happen to me?"

"what are you talking about?!"

Saito Asuka said angrily: "How could I hope that something would happen to you?"

"Even if it's a joke, there are some things you can't say!"

Saito Asuka stared at her with a serious face: "...Don't say these bad words again in the future, you know?"

"I know, I won't say such things again."

"It's good to know."

Saito Asuka nodded with satisfaction: "...You go to the player lounge to prepare first, I'll go out first."

"Are you going to pick up Miss Zhongshan?"

Qingzhu Fengya winked at him playfully: "Oh... the trainer and Miss Zhongshan are really in love."

"You talk too much."

Saito Asuka laughed and cursed, reaching out his hand to flick the forehead of the black-haired horse girl in front of him.

But Qingzhu Fengya, who had already expected that he would make this move, took a step to the side with a smile, just in time to avoid Saito Asuka's finger snap.

"Okay, let me go to the player lounge first~?"

Standing on tiptoes and hopping back with her hands behind her back, Qingzhu Fengya bent forward and said with a smile: "...Trainer, after chatting with Sister Zhongshan, remember to come and watch my winner's stage. oh!"

"I know, I know."

Saito Asuka waved his hand: "...When was there a time when I wasn't on your winner's stage?"

"When Hui and I finish chatting, I will take her to watch your winner's stage."

"Oh... If this is the case, I can be very energetic again!"

After hearing that Nakayama Megumi would come to see her winner's stage, Qingzhu Fengya clasped her hands together and looked very happy: "Then I'll go back and prepare first~?"

After saying this, Qingzhu Fengya hummed and left without waiting for Saito Asuka's reply.

"..."

Saito Asuka suddenly sighed as he watched Qingzhu Fengya leave.

What I saw and said to her at that time really became a pressure on her.

Saito Asuka, who turned around and walked out, thought with his chin as he walked forward.

...More than two months ago, after she was told all about the current situation at Himeji Treson Academy at her request, she began to change the frequency of her participation.

Participate in at least three games every month, and the levels of events you participate in include OP-level events and G2-level events.

Her performance on the field is also very stable, and she can achieve a distance of at least five lengths in every game.

Even if she was targeted or even blocked on the field, it would have no effect on her.

The horse girls could only watch as she surpassed them, or they could vent their dissatisfaction with an "oyster~" sound.

Sometimes Saito Asuka even saw in Aotake Fuga a shadow similar to the 'Demon King' who appeared with a strong sense of oppression in the illustrations of the novel.

...But if she says this, Qingzhu Fengya will definitely be very dissatisfied, right?

I imagined Qingzhu Fengya pouting and protesting to him, "The word devil is not suitable for a beautiful girl like me!" Saito Asuka couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"You're quite happy."

Looking at Saito Asuka who had already walked in front of him, Nakayama Megumi stamped his feet: "...but can you take me back to the car first? I'm a little cold."
