Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 425 Only When You Like Someone Can Restrain Them
"Saliva? What saliva?"

Completely ignoring what Beifang Genko had said, Yasui wiped her fingers clean and shook her head with amusement, saying:
"You're not a little kid anymore, why would you still lick your fingers... Oh, you mean this?"

Looking at the tissue, he finally understood what saliva meant, and couldn't help but find it even more amusing:

"If you know there's saliva in it, don't be so unhygienic next time. Didn't you bring any tissues?"

Originally, he was embarrassed and shy because he thought saliva was too dirty, but after hearing a few words from Yasui Makoto, Kita Genkoto's mood had returned to normal.

"Of course I brought it!"

She quickly added in an attempt to explain, then gave Yasui Makoto a reproachful look and complained in a low voice, "The trainer is just too long-winded. I'm not some little kid who needs to be taken care of..."

As she spoke, she took a big bite of the crepe, as if in a fit of pique.

The portion of this dessert was truly astonishing. With one bite, a bit of cream immediately got on the tip of her nose, and some bright strawberry juice smeared on her lips, which then slid down the corner of her mouth.

However, she was completely unaware of this, and instead suddenly widened her eyes, then her eyes curved into crescents as she praised him indistinctly:
"Wow! Just as the flavor recommended by the Sun God!"

"The strawberries are so fresh, and the cream isn't greasy at all; it's super refreshing!"
"Trainer, you have to try it!"

Seeing the excited girl with white cream on her nose and bright red juice on her lips and corners of her mouth, Yasui Makoto couldn't help but laugh again.

"Okay, no problem."

He gave a few perfunctory laughs and then pulled out a few tissues, handing them to Beifang Xuanju, and said with amusement:

"So you still say you're not a child, you've got food all over your face..."

"I'm not a child! Trainer, how dare you say that!"

"Yes, yes, he's not a child, so you should wipe your face quickly."

While Yasui Makoto and Kita Genkoto were bickering like arguing, on the other side, Daitaku Sun God and Meguro Zenshin, who were eating crepes, exchanged a glance and clearly saw the mischievousness in each other's eyes.

Then, the Great Sun God glanced to the side, and the benevolent believer immediately understood.

The two pretended to be looking for something, took a few steps to the side together, looked around, and tacitly took out their phones.

[Da Tuo Sun God: Oh oh oh oh oh! Did you see that? Did you see that?]

[Mejiro Yoshinobu: Oh my god! I see it! This isn't a trainer and a racehorse girl, it's a pair of idiots!]

[Daituo Sun God: (≧ω≦) Kukuku, my romantic intuition was right! The level of affection between them definitely exceeds the level of responsibility!]

[Mejiro Yoshinobu: Absolutely! You can't tell at all if you're just watching the match or interviews, but at this close range, it's so obvious!]

[Da Tuo Sun God: But I feel like these two idiots are still a long way from a real romantic relationship.]

[Mejiro Yoshinobu: Indeed, there must be some concerns? I remember the academy forbids trainers and racehorse girls from dating.]

[Daituo Sun God: Damn it, these outdated rules should be thrown in the trash like an old-fashioned handbag! But for a date, it should be fine.]

[Mejiro Zenshin: Indeed, aren't they on a date right now?]

[Great Sun God: That's why, as their seniors, we should help them properly, kukuku (>ω<*)]

[Meguro Zenshin: Hehehe, that's for sure, so where do we go next?]

[The Great Sun God: Hmph, leave it to me!]

After exchanging a tacit understanding on their phones, the two put their phones away at the same time and exchanged another mischievous glance.

Back when they were still at the gym, Daitaku Taiyou had a gut feeling that there was something more than just responsibility between Yasui Makoto and Kita Genkoto. She had always been passionate about romance, a "love guru" among her friends since their school days, and was confident she couldn't be wrong.

Especially as someone who has been through it all, she knows very well that it's not uncommon for racehorse girls to develop feelings for her after spending so much time together; in fact, it's quite common.

The evidence is that, with the industry becoming more open about dating, it's become increasingly common for retired female horse riders to marry their former trainers.

Moreover, in her opinion, Yasui Makoto was indeed excessively young as a trainer.

That's why, after spending all her time with a cheerful and outgoing girl like Beifang Xuanju, whom she liked, she couldn't believe that an eighteen or nineteen-year-old, hot-blooded boy wouldn't have any thoughts about her.

Based on her own experience and intuition, she felt that perhaps the Northern Black Horse's emotions were still unclear.

That trainer, who looked excessively young yet exuded an overly mature aura, probably thought this through very clearly.

And in the "idiot couple" interaction she just saw, Yasui Makoto's performance further convinced her of this.

That's too much restraint.

"Crepe date" is a trick that has worked for her over the years. She knows that the desserts sold at this shop are very large and it is easy to get your hands and face covered in cream and jam.

At times like these, intimate contact can easily occur, just like what happened earlier.

In close contact, the most common reaction is shyness, like that of Genko Kita, while Makoto Yasui seems to have no psychological reaction at all.

This situation either means that the guy has absolutely no hormones, which is obviously impossible.

Therefore, he must have been secretly controlling his emotions.

In her view, only those who like someone can restrain themselves.

Otherwise, why care so much?
His eyes darted around, seemingly casually observing Yasui Makoto and Kita Genkoma as they ate crepes, while Daitaku Taiyou secretly chuckled.

"So, as the believers said, we two seniors have to step in and do something."

"But we can't rush things. After all, it's definitely not okay to date at school. Xiao Bei still has a competition to compete in."

"So, the place we need to go next..."

After pondering for a moment, she glanced at Meguro Yoshinobu, and walked back with him. She cleared her throat and smiled casually:
"Hey, how about it? The crepes I recommended taste pretty good, right?"

"...The trainer is still saying I'm like a child! Me...wait?"

Just as he was playfully arguing with Yasui Makoto, upon hearing Daitaku Sun God's words, Hokuto Genkoto paused for a moment, then quickly looked over and replied:

"Mmm! It's super delicious! You're definitely an expert, senior. I need to learn a lot from you so I can bring my friends here to play!"

"No problem at all, leave it to me!"

Confidently patting his chest, the Great Sun God's eyes darted around as he smiled and pointed towards the distance along the street:
"Now that we've had dessert, it's time to go look at clothes!"

"clothing?"

Northern Black Horse was taken aback: "Senior, what kind of clothes do you want to buy?"

"It's not me who wants to buy it!"

Daitaku Sun God shook his head repeatedly and said, "Shibuya is one of the fashion paradises, with many places suitable for dates and photo opportunities, so we're going shopping!"
"Then head north from here and you'll reach Harajuku, which is another fashion paradise. You'll definitely want to explore that place in one go!"
"Of course, whether it's a gadget or clothes, it's always good to buy something you like!"
