Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 257 Evening
While stammering, Yasui Makoto's gaze remained fixed on Kita Genko.

The girl at this moment was completely different from her usual energetic self on the field. She possessed a unique gentleness and charm, which stirred an indescribable flutter in his heart.

Upon receiving an affirmative reply, Beifang Xuanju immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the shyness on his face vanished instantly, and he regained his usual energetic demeanor.

She strode over, gave a thumbs-up, and said confidently:
"Since the trainer says there's no problem, then there must be no problem!"
"From now on, I'll be the trainer's personal nurse!"
"If the trainer needs anything, please let me know immediately!"

"Oh, oh... okay, okay..."

He subconsciously responded twice, gazing at the nearby Genko, feeling the faint fragrance emanating from her, and Yasui Makoto's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

He suddenly realized that this period of recovery might be much more exciting than he had imagined.

Having changed into a nurse's uniform and received affirmation from Yasui Makoto, Kita Genkoma was clearly full of energy and quickly got to work.

"Trainer, please sit still. I'll get you a glass of water."

"Trainer, would you like some fruit? I'll peel it for you."

"Trainer, are you tired? Shall I give you a shoulder massage?"

But then at night...

As night slowly fell, Yasui Makoto changed into his pajamas after taking a shower and peeked into the living room like a thief. He saw that Kita Genko was busy in the kitchen or somewhere else, so he quickly slipped into the bedroom and breathed a sigh of relief.

After a whole day, he felt like a spoiled child, not having to do anything, with Beifang Xuanju arranging everything perfectly.

This feeling……

It's really comfortable.

But after getting used to living alone, he still felt a little uneasy after the initial novelty and excitement wore off.

At the same time, he hoped that such days could last longer, after all, this meticulous care...

It's really comfortable.

Torn between his thoughts, he walked to the bed, lay down, and stared at the ceiling, his mind drifting uncontrollably to Beifang Xuanju, who was still outside the bedroom.

It's so late, she should be heading back to her dorm or home by now...

After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly felt a faint sense of reluctance.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the bedroom door. Yasui Makoto instinctively responded with "Come in," but was immediately taken aback to see Kita Genko walk in carrying a sleeping bag that was taller than a person.

"Trainer! I'm sleeping in the living room tonight!"

Her eyes sparkled with excitement: "That way, if you need anything in the middle of the night, I can take care of you right away!"

After a moment of surprise, Yasui Makoto quickly realized what was happening.

A hint of embarrassment and unease appeared on his face. He sat up and said somewhat awkwardly:

"This... Xiao Bei, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"How about... you go back to your dorm... oh no, you're resting now, you should go home."

"Why don't you go home first? I only have a minor fracture, I can take care of myself."

Quietly waiting for Yasui to finish speaking, Kita Genko shook his head firmly and quickly, his eyes filled with unwavering conviction:

"no!
"The trainer knows he's still injured, so how can he manage on his own?"
In short, I'm not at ease.

"Besides, I brought my sleeping bag with me; it would be too much trouble to bring it back."

As she spoke, she shook the sleeping bag in her hand, looking quite certain.

Seeing her determined look, Yasui wanted to persuade her again.

After all, there was nothing wrong with receiving care during the day, and since Beifang Xuanju was very insistent, it wouldn't be good to dampen her enthusiasm.

But at night, although the two don't sleep in the same bedroom, they are still sharing a room, which is somewhat unreasonable.

However, before he could speak, Beibu Xuanju had already closed the bedroom door.

Her firm and cheerful voice soon came from outside the door:

"I've been thinking about what I can do to help the trainers for a while now, although it's not quite right to say it like this, but..."

"Now that the trainer is injured, I can finally do something to help. Anyway, don't worry, trainer, I'll take care of myself, and I'll take care of you too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound came from the living room.

Unsurprisingly, they were packing their sleeping bags.

...Oh, this...

Staring at the tightly closed bedroom door, Yasui Makoto sighed helplessly after a long while.

He vaguely knew that he couldn't go against Beifang Xuanju, so he lay back down on the bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and wrapped himself up like an ostrich, trying to shut himself out of everything.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Beifang Xuanju working busily in front of him during the day, dressed as a head nurse, uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

A well-fitting nurse's uniform, pristine white stockings, and a vibrant smile...

Every detail is crystal clear.

Then, he couldn't help but imagine what Northern Black Horse looked like sleeping in his sleeping bag in the living room.

Will she occasionally wrinkle her nose playfully, like she does during the day?
Will you unconsciously shrink back because you're not used to sleeping in a sleeping bag?
Do you ever feel thirsty in the middle of the night and wake up groggily to drink some water?

Various playful and cute images, different from the energetic and lively ones in his memory, kept swirling in Yasui Makoto's mind.

He tossed and turned in bed again.

He tossed and turned, trying to banish all sorts of thoughts from his head.

However, they seem to have taken root, and no matter how hard you try to get rid of them, you can't get rid of them.

In the darkness, he opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling.

After staring blankly for a moment, he unconsciously got up quietly, put on his slippers, and carefully took two steps toward the bedroom door.

Then he rushed back like a thief and lay down on the bed again.

Then, like doing sit-ups, get up, lie down, get up again, and lie down again.

Finally, after tossing and turning in bed for who knows how long, a deep sleep finally came over him, and he slowly drifted off to sleep.

And in the living room...

The northern black horse was also tossing and turning in bed.

Lying in her sleeping bag, she felt content and joyful.

The thought of being able to take care of Yasui Makoto made her feel incredibly happy.

In the darkness, she stared wide-eyed at the crimson light, her mind replaying the advice that Hikari Satomi had given her.

Cooking, changing into a nurse's uniform, and various precautions for caring for patients, especially the selection and preparation of nutritious meals...

These thoughts flashed through her mind one by one.

She secretly resolved that she must get up early tomorrow to prepare a hearty and nutritious breakfast for Yasui Makoto.

She thought to herself, "I must help the trainer get better soon."

But just as she thought of this, she felt inexplicably disappointed.

If the trainer recovers, she'll have no reason to live with him like this anymore.

The thought of this made her feel empty.

But soon, she remembered what her grandfather had said.

Grandpa said that the trainer had done so much for her, and she should invite him to her home for the New Year so that he could stay for a while and she could properly thank him.

Thinking about it this way, she became happy again, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Yes, once the trainer recovers from his injury, we can celebrate the Chinese New Year together!

She thought about it silently in her heart, and her mood gradually calmed down.

With anticipation for tomorrow and longing for the future and the truth about Yasui, she slowly drifted off to sleep.
