Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 45 Are they a good match?!

More than half an hour later, in the cafeteria of Tresen Academy.

"...I see. Thankfully, I didn't say that in front of Trainer Yasui, or it would have been rude."

Sitting at the dining table, Ennis the Wind God sighed:

"When I was delivering the package, I never thought that he, so young, would already be a trainer and even helped Xiaobei win two games in a row.

"Xiaobei, you are very lucky to have met such a great trainer."

"Yeah! I feel pretty lucky too!"

Beibu Xuanju said excitedly and gratefully, "I just came to the academy this year, and I haven't learned many courses yet. I don't know a lot of things, and my training results have not been very good.

"But the trainer never looked down on me and was very patient in guiding me, whether in training or competition.

“It’s great to meet a trainer like this!”

Yamato Akagi and Vodka, who were also sitting at the table, laughed.

"It can't be entirely attributed to luck."

Yamato Akagi reached out and touched Kitaguchi's head.

"And Xiaobei, you are so warm and kind."

"Warm-hearted... kind?"

Kita no Xuanju was stunned: "Why do you say that, Yamato-senpai...?"

"I think so."

Following Yamato Akagi's words, Vodka smiled and said:

"I spoke briefly with Yamato the other day and found out that you two only met after Xiaobei bumped into Yasui-kun."

Beibu Xuanju's face suddenly turned red.

"Senior, you...why are you suddenly saying this...?"

"Don't worry, I'm not making fun of you, Xiaobei."

Vodka smiled and waved his hand:
“After checking with Yamato, I found out that you and Yasui-kun were both trying to save a child, and that’s why you accidentally bumped into each other.

"Speaking of which, Yasui-kun's physical fitness is really amazing. He was not hurt at all after being hit by you.

"But the main thing is that you are very kind and enthusiastic, Xiaobei.

“Think about it, if you hadn’t gone to save that child, you wouldn’t have bumped into Yasui-kun.

"If he hadn't been taken to the hospital for a checkup, you wouldn't have known he was a trainer, and there would have been no agreement.

"I think maybe it was because of your enthusiasm that Yasui-kun wanted to become your trainer."

Beibu Xuanju nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, when Senior Emperor suggested that a trainer come to teach me, I thought he would refuse like the other trainers. I never expected him to agree so readily."

After summing up, Vodka smiled and nodded.

"So, luck, enthusiasm, kindness, and many other things are what brought you two together."

Then she thought for a moment.

"But speaking of luck...

"Xiaobei, you are indeed very lucky to have met Mr. Yasui.

"It seems that the Japanese Derby...

"You might have a good chance."

The topic suddenly turned to the Japanese Derby, which sounded a bit abrupt, but none of the four horse racing girls present were surprised.

The fastest horse girl wins the Satsuki Prize.

The luckiest horse girl wins the Japanese Derby.

The strongest horse girl wins the Chrysanthemum Award.

This is a widely circulated saying among trainers and horse girls.

This statement is also reasonable enough.

The Gaoyue Sho race is 2000 meters long, the shortest of the three classic races. Both the pacing and the final sprint have extremely high speed requirements.

Since its inception, the Japanese Derby has been known as "determining the strongest of the generation," and this race is actually more significant than the other two. Given the opportunity to challenge this race, no horse girl would pass it up.

This makes the pre-match selection and competition for the Japanese Derby extremely fierce, and the runaway Uma Musume can definitely be regarded as the strongest group of players in the classic year.

The classic year means that the players have not yet gained enough experience. In addition, the 2400-meter race is 400 meters longer than the Gaoyue Sho. Without a certain amount of luck, it is easy to miss the championship.

The situation of chrysanthemum appreciation is much simpler.

Not everyone can run a distance of 3000 meters, let alone compete with a group of strong opponents. The difficulty can be imagined.

"Japanese Derby..."

When she heard about this event, Beibu Xuanju's eyes showed anticipation and excitement, but she quickly took a deep breath and shook her head.

“I’m really looking forward to this game.

"But my trainer always told me that what I should do more than worry about the future is to complete every training session and run every race well.

“And things like luck… the trainer doesn’t seem to care much about them; he values ​​tangible things more.

"If he's a trainer, he'd probably be more willing to spend time figuring out various training methods than relying on luck or anything like that.

"For example, that so-and-so machine... Hey? What machine was it?"

"Drone, drone."

Vodka couldn't help but add with a smile.

On the side, Yamato Chiji and Ennis Fengshen also had amused expressions. Yamato Chiji then said thoughtfully:

"Indeed, Yasui-kun gives people a very pragmatic impression... So, Xiaobei has always been a down-to-earth person. The two of you are indeed a good match."

"Yeah! I think so too..."

Beibu Xuanju just nodded excitedly when Vodka suddenly stood up excitedly.

"They're a good match, right?!

"Yamato?! What are you talking about?!
"This kind of thing is... too early for Xiaobei, right?!"

Before anyone else could react, the seemingly cheerful and straightforward horse racing girl's cheeks suddenly turned red and she covered her nose fiercely.

Soon, a trace of bright red slowly seeped out from between her fingers, obviously she was bleeding from the nose.

"No, no, this topic is too exciting... Yamato, what are you thinking about..."

"Senior?! What's wrong with you?!"

When Northern Xuanju was panicking because of his nosebleed after drinking vodka, Enis Fengshen and Yamato Akagi both had headaches.

"...Vodka, you haven't solved this problem yet?"

"That's what you're thinking about, right?"

One of them took out a tissue and handed it to Vodka, while the other started explaining to Beibu Xuanju.

"You, my senior, used to be like this. You couldn't handle the topic of love at all. You would get so excited that your nose would bleed when you heard about it.

"I took her to the hospital for checkups several times when we were in the academy, but I didn't expect her to still be like this now..."

After explaining, Yamato Akagi shook his head helplessly and leaned towards Vodka with concern.

"Hey, Vodka, are you feeling any better?"

But Northern Xuanju was stunned.

Love? We didn't talk about love just now, did we?

Ah! Could it be what I just said...

Suitable?
How can this kind of thing be associated with the topic of love?
He was just saying that the trainer and I have similar personalities...

Vodka-senpai is really something, I have no idea what he is thinking... eh?

Originally amused by his senior's inexplicable associations, Northern Xuanju suddenly had an idea.

Unconsciously, she looked at the seniors with a guilty conscience.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quietly lowered her head and looked at her feet, and her toes unconsciously exerted a little force.

Speaking of which, on the day of my debut match, there were so many people watching, and the trainer helped me change my shoes as if no one was around...

He... doesn't seem to care much about these things usually, so...

He shouldn't be like my senior, thinking about things like love, right...?
