The next day, in the Chairwoman's office, Chiya opened the door and saw Akikawa Yayoi sitting in her chair.
"Chairwoman, you called for me?"
"Come here."
She waved her hand.
He stood nervously in front of the desk.
"The central trainer ratings are out. you got a total of six points."
"Six points... is that a little?"
"Six points... is not a lot," she said, fanning herself. "That's the equivalent of two Horse Girls winning."
"Two?" He raised an eyebrow. "But I only had one win."
"What? I told you to get at least one, and you really got 'at least' one."
"I did my best, I really did..."
He wasn't a prophet. How could he guarantee that every Horse Girl would win?
"Well, victory is one thing. The central division also gives appropriate bonus points based on a Horse Girl's performance. It seems the judges thought that although your Horse Girls didn't win, their performance was very exciting, so they gave you some bonus points."
"I really thank him for that."
"Anyway, your performance this time wasn't bad, so I'm here to tell you that you don't have to tend the garden anymore. Consider it as making up for your past mistakes."
"Really?!"
He was overjoyed. Although he didn't have to weed anymore, watering the flowers every day was still time-consuming and laborious. Running back and forth to the faucet dozens of times... he could be doing so many other things with that time.
"Don't get too happy too soon. If you get into trouble again, there's a big forest in the north."
"Yes..."
"And," she crossed her legs, "you know about what was said at the exchange meet, right? The future direction of the races."
"It seems the difficulty will be increased."
"Although I don't agree with the central division's approach, at present, if you want to challenge the European races, this is indeed the fastest shortcut. But Chiya," her tone changed, and she addressed him directly, "winning a race is certainly important, but what's more important is the Horse Girl's feelings. Don't force them to do things they don't want to do. If they really don't want to win by interfering with their opponents, then don't force them."
"I will respect the Horse Girls' wishes."
"It's good that you understand. You've worked hard these past few days at the exchange meet."
He didn't know if it was his imagination, but on her serious face, he thought he saw a very gentle smile. When he shook his head and looked again, the smile was gone.
"Go back to work."
"Yes. Then I won't disturb you any longer, Chairwoman."
With that, he turned and left the room.
In the hallway, before he had taken two steps, he ran into a familiar figure again.
"Guinea Pig-kun."
"Tachyon, what are you doing here?"
"Looking for you, of course. Do you have time?"
"Yes."
"Perfect. Come to my lab for a moment."
"To do an experiment?"
"That's right. I've slightly improved the Affection Meter Glasses from last time. I'd like you to try them out."
"That's fine... By the way, why don't you try them yourself?"
"Because when I wear them, everyone I see is in their forties. I even suspect they might be broken."
"Have you considered that it might be your own problem..."
"Possibly. That's why I'm asking you to try them."
Looking at Tachyon, who was completely unconcerned about her poor social skills, he sighed.
"Alright, let's see how you've changed them."
Arriving at the lab, he put on the glasses.
"They seem a little different?"
"I've added a new system. I've input the information of the Tracen students. It can generate some words that might increase affection and mood in real time based on the ongoing event."
"Th-that's amazing..."
He pressed the start button on top. With a blue light that swept across the room, he looked at Tachyon. In the affection display column, her affection was shown as [81].
"Did you really fix it? Why did it go up instead of down compared to last time?"
"How much?"
"Eighty-one."
Tachyon pinched her chin.
"That's right. My affection for you is that high."
"Why?"
"Because you're my one and only guinea pig, and also my trainer. It wouldn't be an exaggeration for your affection to reach ninety."
"I don't want my affection to increase for that reason..." he said, looking at the content displayed on the lenses. "Here it comes, the affection dialogue."
"Tell me."
"Agnes Tachyon, I am your guinea pig. From now on, please use me to your heart's content."
After saying this, he saw her affection jump to [83].
"It would be even better if you said it more naturally."
"No, this dialogue is quite strange. It's completely contrary to my thoughts."
"Trainer Chiya, you won't be able to please a girl like this."
His eye twitched.
"It seems this function is not bad."
Tachyon nodded.
After hearing his words, her mood had indeed improved a lot.
"Then I'll leave the testing to you. Use the functions on it more, and give me the glasses back later."
"Alright," he said, adjusting the thick frames. "By the way, can't you make this thing a little smaller? It's too heavy on my nose."
"If there's no problem with the system, I'll consider reducing the size. If that doesn't work, I'll consider remote projection. This is just a test machine. In the future, I'll add more functions and gradually improve it."
It was just something she had tinkered with on a whim, but she had actually considered so much.
He left the room.
I'll find someone familiar to test it on first. If it can really increase mood and affection, I might be able to use it in training.
He was planning to test it on Rice Shower.
Arriving at the high school division, just as he went upstairs, he saw a petite, brown-haired girl run past him.
"Shinko Windy?!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing the voice, she turned her head.
"Who are you? Do you know me?"
"No... um..." Because she had been causing all sorts of trouble for Shirayuki these past few days, he had developed some PTSD and had instinctively shouted when he saw her.
Just as he was looking for an excuse, the affection dialogue began to appear in the glasses.
He looked at her affection: 54.
Then he looked at the dialogue in the glasses and hesitated.
It's just a test anyway. It doesn't matter who I try it on.
So he began to build up his emotions.
A few seconds later, he spoke, "Y-yes, I know you! You're the one who turned the world upside down... the Dark Demon Lord!"
It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing that he wanted to die.
But that's what the dialogue said. What could he do?
Then he began to observe her state.
She slowly lowered her head, and then—
"Hehe, hahaha! Hahahaha!! I can't believe you've discovered my identity! That's right, I am the Dark Demon Lord who plunged the whole world into darkness! Hero, state your name!"
Honestly, this was the first time he felt that speaking could be such a painful thing.
But.
He looked at the glasses.
Her affection had instantly shot up to seventy.
