Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 325 Frost's Descent
In a daze, he felt the shaking from the vehicle stop, and the engine's hum disappeared. Yasui opened his eyes and yawned.
"Ah...we've arrived..."

He had just finished yawning when he saw a pair of red eyes staring straight at him from a distance of about a hand's breadth, their eyes filled with worry and anxiety.

"...Xiao Bei?"

Leaning back instinctively in his chair, Yasui asked in surprise, "What's wrong...? Why are you so close...?"

There was no answer. His expression was worried and anxious. Beifang Xuanju moved a little closer, raised his hand, and placed it on his forehead:
"How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

After asking two questions, she withdrew her hand, placed it on her head, and muttered softly, "It doesn't seem to be very hot," before urgently asking:

"Trainer, aren't you feeling dizzy? Would you like some water?"

Then, without waiting for Yasui Makoto's reply, she reached out and grabbed his hand:
"Let's go check on the infirmary. It would be terrible if the trainer got sick."

"Get ill?"

Yasui Makoto was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "I...I'm not sick?"

Before the Northern Black Steed could speak, the sound of a gas tank came from the side:
"Even if you're not sick, it would be good to get checked out. Actually, when I picked you up at the airport, I felt that you didn't look well, so you should get checked out."

Following the sound, Yasui Makoto immediately saw the air tank and his face was full of worry and a little self-blame. Next to the air tank, Roaring Thunder had a similar expression.

Yasui Makoto immediately realized that she probably got up too early in the morning and didn't get enough rest, plus she had just finished adjusting to the time difference, so she didn't look well.

Moreover, he fell asleep as soon as he got on the bus, and the Northern Genko and the others probably thought he was sick.

Yasui wanted to tell her that she was actually fine, but seeing the anxious and worried look on the racehorse girls' faces, and seeing Kita Genko holding her hand the whole time, Yasui thought for a moment and then agreed.

Anyway, getting checked won't take much effort, and besides, the Dubai Association has already said that it will reimburse the expenses in this regard.

After getting off the bus, Yasui Makoto and Kita Genko went to the hotel's medical center together. They agreed to have a small get-together that evening if the test results were all good.

After sitting on the leather sofa in the waiting area for a while, comforting Kita Genko from time to time, Yasui Makoto was pulled up by Kita Genkoto when the door to the consultation room opened.

As soon as the consultation room opened, English conversations could be heard coming from inside, with a distinct American accent.

One of the voices sounded familiar, and the two of them looked over without realizing it. They were soon surprised to find that it was California Shining.

After the last mud practice, California Shining left their contact information with Northern Black Horse.

In the past few days, while adjusting to the time difference and wandering around the hotel, Northern Black Horse has often spent time with this new friend from the United States.

After a while, Yasui Makoto felt that the two racehorse girls should be quite familiar with each other.

Grass practice matches were certainly one of the topics they discussed, and Northern Black Horse even asked him when a grass practice match could be arranged.

He also wanted to see what the race between Northern Black Horse and California Shining would be like after the venue was changed.

Originally, we planned to find an opportunity to compete yesterday, but after confirming the schedules of Unyielding Steel and Thunderous Roar, the practice match time will definitely have to be postponed.

When Yasui saw California Shining come out of the consultation room, he subconsciously thought that the racehorse girl might not be feeling well.

Northern Genko clearly shared the same thought. Upon seeing California Shining, she was initially delighted, then startled, and grabbed Yasui Makoto as they ran over.

"Hello, hello, California student, Alford Nunn!"

After greeting him in still broken English, Kita Genkom pulled out his phone and, with a worried expression, spoke into it in Japanese:
"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Northern Genko doesn't understand much English, and California Shining doesn't speak any Japanese at all.

When the two of them played together these past few days, they communicated using translation software on their phones unless Yasui Makoto and Akime were present to help translate.

Clearly, due to his anxious concern, Kita Genko momentarily forgot that Yasui Makoto was right next to him. "Oh, Black, good afternoon..."

After greeting her with a smile, California Shining looked at Yasui Makoto and said, "I'm fine. It's just that my friend isn't feeling well, so I came with her to check on her."

As she spoke, she pointed to a racehorse girl with long brown and black hair beside her.

When Yasui saw California Shining come out of the consultation room, he saw the racehorse girl.

He also recognized her from the information he had read that she was Shimofumi, a racehorse girl from the United States who was going to participate in the Dubai World Cup.

"I see... I'm just a little jet-lagged and not feeling well. Xiao Bei, bring me here for a checkup."

Nodding, Yasui Shinji extended his hand to Shimogami and smiled, explaining:

"Hello, Ms. Shimogami, I am a trainer from Japan, Makoto Yasui."

"This is my designated racehorse girl..."

He was about to introduce Kita Genko when Shimokami smiled brightly, took Yasui Makoto's hand, and casually extended his hand to Kita Genko as well:

“I know, the charming and lovely Miss Blake, she’s talked to me about California so much, I’m almost sick of it.”

"Just kidding, I'm quite interested in both of you and would love to hear more about you."

"Oh right, what was Japan supposed to introduce themselves about again? Let me think..."

"Sago Marseille? Red bean paste? That doesn't seem to be it..."

"In short, I am Shuangjiang, and it's a pleasure to meet you all!"

Similar to California Shining, Frostfall is also very warm and cheerful, and a bit too outgoing.

When she spoke, Yasui Makoto noticed that her voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't know if it was natural or if she was sick.

After all, according to California Shining, she was accompanying Shimogami, who was feeling unwell, to see the doctor.

"Is Shuangjiang sick? What did the doctor say?"

With concern, Yasui Makoto glanced at Kita Genkoto out of the corner of his eye and turned to explain in a low voice:

"This is the person I mentioned to you before, Shuangjiang."

"She seems a little unwell, so California Shining brought her in for a check-up."

At the same time, Shuangjiang spoke with a smile:
"Thank you for your concern, but I don't get sick that easily, otherwise how could I have participated in the Dubai World Cup?"

"I'm just not used to the time difference, and it's really too hot here, so I'm a little uncomfortable."

"That's what the doctor said too."

"So, this guy..."

She laughed and pointed to California Shine beside her: "It's just making a fuss over nothing."

Hearing his friend's seemingly unappreciative words, California Shining simply smiled, then looked at Yasui Makoto with a hint of concern, turning to the side:
"She really doesn't have any major problems. The doctor said that drinking more soda water is fine, preferably with a little ice."

"If Yasui is not feeling well, you should have a doctor check you up first."
