Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 408 It was because of Xiao Bei that I suddenly wanted to run away.

After offering a casual explanation, Beibu Xuanju noticed that his friends were still looking at him with strange expressions. Feeling a little embarrassed, he quickly changed the subject:

"Anyway, I'll finish eating quickly, or... if anyone wants to go back and rest, or if you have something to do, you can go back first, don't wait for me."

After saying this, which was originally just meant to change the subject, and about to start eating, she suddenly had an idea and continued:
"By the way, is everyone free tomorrow? If the practice match is over, how about we go out together? Or... oh right!"

She looked at Rimi Hikari and suggested with great interest:

"The Japanese derby is coming up soon for Hikari-chan, should we go help Hikari-chan train?"

No one expected the topic of the Northern Black Horse to change so quickly; the others were stunned for a moment.

Bu Nao Zhengan was the first to react. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head with amusement and said, "If we help with the light drill, wouldn't that mean we'd have to train again?"

"Oh, I don't mean I don't want to help Guangzuan, but Xiaobei, your trainer probably already said that the training matches are quite intense, so it would be better to rest a bit."

"Huh? Oh, yes, that's right..."

With a surprised look, Northern Black Horse said helplessly, "The trainer did tell me to rest well, so I thought everyone should be in the same boat, so how about we go out and have some fun together..."

Then she perked up again: "But, it doesn't seem like a bad idea for us to go cheer for Diamond-chan, right? What do you guys think?"

Funao Shingan was slightly tempted, glancing at Satomi Hikari and then at Satomi Crown.

The previously silent Roaring Thunder nodded and said, "It's a good idea to go and observe the other people's training during the break..." Then he also looked at the Satomi sisters.

"Wish me luck during my training?"

Hikari Satomi's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "Great, thank you everyone. I'll check with the trainer."

When she took out her phone, everyone curiously crowded around, and after a while, she looked up with a troubled expression.

"This... I'm afraid it won't work."

Satomi Hikari hesitated for a moment, then said apologetically, "The trainer said that we need to do special training in the last few days and also go to the Tokyo venue in advance to get used to it. If everyone wants to go together, we need to make a special application."

"Everyone's special training in Tokyo has just come to an end, and I'm going to pack up and get ready to go there tonight."

"I'm sorry, I should have said this sooner, since I already knew about the training schedule..."

"What's there to apologize for, Hikari-chan?"

Northern Black Horse quickly comforted him, "It was just something I suggested on a whim, and I didn't expect it to cause you any trouble. I should be the one apologizing."

Then she encouraged him, "But it's okay, we'll all be there to cheer you on on the day of the Japanese derby!"
"Later, I'll go back to the dorm and help you pack your things!"

"Ok!"

Putting aside his apologetic expression, Hikaru Satomi's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit as he nodded vigorously and said, "I will do my best and will not let everyone down!"

After discussing the Japanese derby and Satomi Kozakura's preparations, the conversation continued to revolve around the match.

Having made a promise, Hokuto Genko quickly finished his meal. After eating, he returned to the dormitory with Satomi Kozumi and helped Satomi Kozumi organize the tools needed for special training.

After returning to the dormitory building together, they said goodbye to Kita Genko, Satomi Hikari, and Funao Shinko in the corridor. Satomi Kaname and Narumi Raidou walked together for a while, and suddenly spoke:

"Um... Mingsheng, I suddenly remembered I need to go out for a bit, you..."

At the same time, Thunderous Roar also turned around and said, "I need to go to the playground, Crown..."

After they spoke in unison, they were both taken aback.

Satomi Kō and Narō Raidō share a dormitory room. While in the cafeteria, thinking about her current situation and hearing about her sister's upcoming special training, Satomi Kō couldn't help but have the idea of ​​going to the playground for a run.

But when she opened her mouth, she inexplicably made up an excuse, and now that she found out that Ming Sheng Lei Dong also wanted to go to the playground, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Without much thought, Ming Shenglei nodded after a moment of surprise and said, "Are you going out too? Let's go together then."

As she walked towards the dormitory exit, she asked, "By the way, what are you going out for so late?"

After hesitating for a moment, biting her lip and following the thunderous roar, Satomi Crown took a slight breath and decided to tell the truth:
"Actually... just like you, Mingsheng, I want to buy some energy drinks and then go for a run on the track."

After saying that, seeing the thunderous sound, he was surprised but did not ask any further questions. Satomi Crown also silently walked out of the dormitory building and headed towards the playground.

Outside the dormitory building, tiny stars peeked through the gaps in the deep blue clouds, while distant neon lights illuminated the outlines of the teaching and administrative buildings, adding a colorful filter to the night sky.

The lights along the edge of the playground shone brightly white, casting neat patches of light along the edge of the playground.

The track was mostly empty, with only a few female racehorses running at night. Most of the other racehorses were strolling around the track in twos and threes.

Occasionally, a night breeze would blow by, rustling the leaves and grass around, mingling with the soft laughter and chatter from near and far, weaving a gentle sound in the stillness.

Every now and then, he would casually glance at the thunderous sounds around him, then quickly look away. Satomi suddenly noticed that whether it was starlight or lamplight, it was evenly spread on the asphalt road leading to the playground, stretching their shadows long and swaying gently in the wind.

There was a vending machine next to the playground. When passing by, I deliberately stopped because of the loud noise. After thinking for a moment, I walked to the vending machine and bought two bottles of banana-flavored energy drinks.

Walking back to the side of the thunderous voice, he chuckled lightly at the other's surprised look, handed over a bottle, and Satomi Crown unscrewed the cap of the beverage bottle, tilted his head back and took a big gulp.

Wiping her lips, she suddenly looked up at the night sky and abruptly spoke:

"Xiao Bei... I actually wanted to go for a run because of Xiao Bei."

I had just unscrewed the cap of the beverage bottle when a thunderous bang startled me.

She looked at Satomi Crown for a while, while Satomi Crown stared blankly at the playground. She then turned her head to look in the direction of the dormitory and suddenly smiled:

"So... you're like that too."

"also……?"

Looking over in surprise, Satomi Kōya thought to herself, "I knew it," but couldn't help asking, "So, you're also here because of today's practice match...?"

"Yes, it's quite obvious, isn't it?"

Looking towards the dormitory, he twisted the bottle cap in his hand, then suddenly stopped halfway through, the sound of the screw ringing out loudly, and his tone became serious:

"At the time, I was thinking, Xiao Bei's state... did she also enter the domain? Later, I asked Sister Qi Cao and found out that it was indeed the case."

"I've experienced that state; it's very intense."

“Xiao Bei… was already very strong, and she is still growing. I think… maybe if we run a little longer, I can continue to run with her and continue to compete.”
