Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 330 Could they have done this on purpose?

Northern Genko didn't pay much attention to the actions of his two newly acquainted friends. Just like they said, he wanted Yasui Makoto to rest and not rush back to work.

Of course, it would be even better if the trainers could stay and play together.

She just smiled and watched Yasui Makoto, who was caught in the middle, for a while, and then she suddenly had a strange feeling.

She felt her smile gradually stiffen, and she gripped the sunscreen spray in her hand even tighter.

Then, without realizing it, the bottle slipped from my grasp and fell onto the beach with a soft thud.

She also felt that her eyesight had suddenly become unusually good.

She saw California's sparkling fingertips resting on Yasui's wrist, and she also saw Frostfall's falling hair brushing against Yasui's ear tips.

She certainly noticed her trainer's panic.

This wasn't the first time she'd seen someone so flustered.

Like that morning, when I was cooking in the kitchen, I turned around and saw Yasui Makoto push the door open and walk in. After I screamed, the other person's face showed a similar panic.

And that day, also because of cooking, I went out to buy ingredients, and when I came back, I saw the grown-up Almond-eyed girl with her arms around Yasui Makoto's neck at the door of the rented house. I saw a similar panic then.

There should be many more, but I can't think of them right now.

Whether he remembered it or not, Beifang Genko felt that Yasui Makoto's flustered appearance and his struggling and dodging posture were like a feather, making a strange corner of his chest itch.

With this itching sensation, she felt as if she had shouted something, and rushed to Yasui Makoto, took Yasui Makoto's wrist, and glanced at the tips of his ears.

Then she heard, "It's just a joke, it's just a joke..." in English.

She didn't understand the meaning of those two sentences or the English that followed, but with a strange annoyance, she glared at California Shine, who had his hands raised high and looked innocent and apologetic.

Then he glared at Shuangjiang, who also had his hands raised and looked apologetic.

Then she looked at Yasui Makoto with concern, hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and carefully examined Yasui Makoto's wrist again before asking:
"Um... trainer, are you alright...?"

Yasui Makoto had now fully regained his senses.

Subconsciously, like Northern Black Horse, he looked at California Shining with suspicion, then at Frostfall.

He had a feeling that those two racehorse girls... had definitely done it on purpose just now.

At first, he felt that this deliberate act was probably because that's the prevailing attitude in America, where girls don't really care about physical contact, and the two racehorse girls just wanted to tease him and make him look foolish.

But he soon realized that something was not quite right.

Before he could think it through, he heard Kita Genko's concerned question. He subconsciously stretched his arm, then glanced helplessly at the two racehorse girls who were innocently surrendering, and shook his head with a smile at Kita Genko:
“It’s okay, they were probably just joking… Oh right, what California Shining meant was that it was just a joke.”

Northern Genko had just seen that Yasui Makoto's wrist or other parts were normal, and upon hearing this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief:

"Really, everything's alright... That's good, that's good."

Then she looked to the side with some distress and said helplessly, "But even if it's a joke... doesn't it seem a bit too much?"

"Trainer, this... can you explain to them that this is very rude in Japan?"

I feel like they knew it was rude, which is why they did it; they did it on purpose...

Yasui Makoto sighed helplessly for a moment, then looked at Kita Genko and had a sudden thought. He then looked at the American racehorse girls who had lowered their arms but still looked innocent.

Could it be that they did that because of the Northern Black Horse?
As he thought this, he looked back at the Northern Black Steed.

In my line of sight, the black-haired girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, her face and eyes filled with concern, the tips of her ears twitching with worry, and her hair trembling gently in the sea breeze. ...There's nothing strange about her behavior, so maybe I'm overthinking it...?
Just as Yasui Masatsugu was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a pat on the back.

At the same time, he also saw Frostfall pat Northern Black Steed on the back with a grin, and heard California Shining's cheerful voice in his ear:

"Hey! Yasui, if you're going to forgive us, how about we play a game of beach volleyball? Look, they seem to be having a lot of fun over there."

Yasui Makoto subconsciously looked over and saw California Shining wink at him, then point into the distance.

He glanced over and saw four tourists playing beach volleyball.

The four tourists were paired up, with one man and one woman on each side, but one of the girls was a horse racer.

The cheerful voice of California Shine came through again:

"How about it? Forget about your job, you're at the beach, you should have a good time! So, how about it? You're paired with Blake, and me..."

She smiled and looked at Shuangjiang, who smiled and reached out her hand. The two gave each other a high five.

“Of course, we’ll be in the same group as Frostfall!” California Shining said with a smile.

Yasui didn't think too much about it, subconsciously nodded, and repeated, "Beach volleyball..."

Then he thought about it and felt that even if he were to organize a practice match on the grass, there was no rush.

Moreover, the original idea was the same as last time: focus on Northern Black Horse and California Shining, and then recruit some female racehorses for training at the training ground.

With California's dazzling reputation, there's no shortage of interested racehorse girls.

Based on its performance in the last race, Northern Black Horse is now quite famous in Dubai hotels.

Once she goes out into the world, many horse racers from other countries will recognize her and come over to greet her, which will attract many more participants.

However, since we now have to participate in Frost's Descent, we might consider changing the format.

For example, they could be called together as "unyielding steel" and "thunderous sound".

These are all racehorse girls who are very familiar with me and Kita Genko, and they will soon be participating in the Dubai World Cup.

They would be very happy to have a high-level practice match before the official competition, especially on grass.

Following this line of thought, perhaps we could ask the two American female racehorses, or ask a more famous and well-connected veteran like Qi Cao, to see if we can find some other top-level competitors.

This will significantly increase the prestige of this practice match, and we can almost achieve most of the purpose of coming to Dubai.

As Yasui pondered this, she suddenly couldn't help but smile.

The way I am... I really am acting like a workaholic, always thinking about training and competitions.

He had just laughed out loud when he heard the puzzled voice of the Northern Black Steed:

"Trainer, what are you laughing at? Did they tell some funny joke?"

Yasui Makoto paused for a moment, then looked at Kita Genko and laughed, "It's not a joke, they're inviting us to a game of beach volleyball."

"How, are you interested?"

Upon hearing this, Beibu Xuanju was also taken aback, but her eyes quickly lit up, and she clenched her fists, becoming excited:

"Alright! Then... Trainer, let's go together!"
