Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 256 Well done, Hikari Satomi!

Yasui Makoto found Alice's teasing words amusing, while Kita Genko's cheeks flushed red for a moment before his eyes lit up and he became thoughtful.

The subsequent checks were no different from the previous ones, and were even simpler.

The medical records, X-rays, and doctor's orders were all readily available. After reviewing them, Alice quickly concluded that "there's nothing seriously wrong."

After instructing Yasui Makoto to rest well and Kita Genko to take good care of him, she changed the subject:
"Actually, in a sense, it might not be a bad thing for you to be injured now, Yasui."

They were already quite familiar with each other, so she started addressing Yasui Makoto more casually.

Upon hearing her words, both Yasui Makoto and Kita Genko were taken aback.

The former quickly seemed to be deep in thought, while the latter puffed out his cheeks and folded his ears slightly, clearly dissatisfied with Alice's words, but refrained from speaking out due to Alice's senior status.

Sensing the emotions of the Northern Black Horse, Alice did not panic or change her words, but calmly said:

"Don't look at me like that, Xiao Bei, I'm telling the truth."

As she spoke, her gaze became somewhat serious:
"You may not realize it yet, but Yasui probably already has."

"He's only 18... oh no, he's 19 now."

"In short, he is not even 20 years old and has only been in the industry for a little over a year, yet he has already won 7 games. This achievement, while not unique, is certainly very rare."

"More importantly, these 7 victories include 5 big wins and 3 Game 1s, which can undoubtedly be described as unique."

"Not to mention, one of those three G1 matches is Arima Kinen, you know that, Xiao Bei..."

She looked at the Northern Black Horse, whose face displayed both pride and contemplation:
"You, as a trainer, are incredibly sought after right now."

“Every year, nearly 10,000 girls are capable of debuting as racehorses, but only one in a hundred can win a big prize, one in a thousand can win G1, and one in ten thousand can win Arima Kinen.”

"To exaggerate a bit, right now, the racehorse girls who want to ask Yasui Makoto to train them, or their families, could line up all the way from Treson Academy to me."

"Not only that, the URA Association also has various collaborations with the academy, as well as commissions for interviews and endorsements from various sectors. It's no exaggeration to say that they have a long queue of people waiting for them at the academy."

At this point, she pointed to Yasui Makoto's left arm, which was in a cast:
"If it weren't for this incident, you, the trainer, might be so busy today that you would need an appointment to meet with me."

"Only after this incident can he leisurely play 'nurse role-playing' with you like a child."

Upon hearing this, the Northern Black Steed paused, then twitched its ear in annoyance and said with displeasure:

"I'm not playing house; I'm taking very good care of my trainer!"

"Relax, relax, I was just saying that, Xiao Bei, you understand what I mean."

With a casual wave of her hand and a smile, Alice's eyes revealed an even more serious expression:
"What I'm trying to say is that Yasui, you are indeed an outstanding trainer, and of course, Kita, you are also a top-notch racehorse girl."

"But the miscellaneous things I just mentioned are not something everyone can handle with ease."

"If you're not careful, you can get caught up in it and it takes up too much of your energy, affecting your training and matches, and even causing you to lose a few games in the following year's competitions..."

She emphasized:

"They're being praised so highly now, but what will happen later..."

She didn't finish her sentence; just as she had done when starting the topic, she abruptly changed the subject:
"That's about it. I've finished checking. Would you like to sit here for a while? I'll make you a cup of black tea."

After having a cup of black tea in Alice's office and chatting about topics unrelated to training and matches, Yasui Makoto and Kita Genko returned to their rented apartment.

Makoto Yasui is well aware of the tedious affairs in the industry outside of training and competitions; after the Chrysanthemum Award, he spent almost a week busy with those matters.

Just as Alice said, if it weren't for the accidental injury, he would definitely be busy with those trivial matters again. And what she meant was clear: she wanted to remind him that no matter what changes occurred in the outside world, he, as the trainer, had to stay true to himself and not lose himself in the process.

Yasui Makoto is quite confident about this.

He had experienced similar situations before. Although he was not a top-level athlete, he had won many competitions and received many interviews and endorsements.

He did indeed lose himself in the extravagance and debauchery of that time, which may be one of the reasons why he couldn't reach the top.

Having had such an experience, he knew how to handle these things, and with the injury, he could deal with it even better.

When he arrived at the rented room and sat down on the sofa, Yasui Makoto kept thinking about these things.

Without noticing, as soon as they entered the house, Beibu Xuanju rummaged around inside before turning and going into the bedroom.

He had only thought about half of what to do next when he heard a somewhat strange, yet expectant voice.

"Trainer, do you think I look...appropriate?"

"Huh? What..."

Yasui turned his head instinctively and froze.

Beibu Xuanju changed into a pristine white nurse's uniform and stood gracefully at the bedroom door.

The well-fitting uniform perfectly accentuated her slender yet strong waist, and the skirt swayed slightly, revealing her long, straight legs encased in white stockings.

Her once playful ponytail now hung loosely behind her head, with a few strands casually draped over her rosy cheeks, adding a touch of charm to her energetic and lively face.

Holding a mug in one hand and nervously tugging at her skirt with the other, her cheeks flushed and her eyes filled with a mixture of shyness and anticipation, she was cautiously looking at Yasui Makoto.

Yasui Makoto felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and for a moment he couldn't speak. He could only stare blankly at the scene before him.

The phrase "little nurse role-playing" from Alice flashed through his mind, but he never expected that Kita Genko would actually take the joke seriously and appear in front of him in such a stunning way.

"I... this was also suggested by Hikari-chan, and she also helped prepare the clothes..."

Seeing that Yasui Makoto remained silent, Genkoto from the north grew increasingly nervous, and his voice grew softer and softer:
"She said that if she was going to take good care of the trainers, she should wear a nurse's uniform..."

"I initially thought something was off about this head nurse's uniform, but..."

"But Dr. Suko said that too, so..."

"Isn't it really strange, trainer...?"

"Then...then I'll change it..."

As she spoke, she bit her lip and began to retreat into the bedroom.

"No need to change it!"

When he suddenly spoke, it was obvious that Kita Genko was startled, and Yasui Makoto himself was also startled.

In an instant, he snapped back to his senses, swallowed hard to calm himself, and stammered:

"I...I mean...that...it's...it suits me very well, it looks great, I don't need...that...I don't need to change it..."

His voice grew softer and softer.
