Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 174 Comprehensive Physical Examination
By the time of the winner's stage in the evening, Yasui Makoto already had an idea.

If my impression is correct, the thundering sound in the parallel dimension was indeed an accident during grazing, which should correspond to the rest period outside of training and competition.

There isn't much that can be done in this situation, but it's not impossible.

For example, a comprehensive physical examination.

Unlike post-training and competition examinations, a comprehensive physical examination will confirm more situations, which may eliminate hidden dangers that are difficult to detect under normal circumstances and minimize the occurrence of accidents or misfortunes.

Coincidentally, Xingmu should be entering the stage of mastering his true nature now, so we can take this opportunity to take Beibu Xuanju for a comprehensive physical examination.

At this time, I can take the opportunity to make an appointment with Mingsheng Leidong, and judging from the increasingly familiar relationship with Qicao in the past few months, I should not be rejected.

Not long after he had this plan, An Jingzhen received a text message from Qi Cao.

He glanced at the thunderous sound coming from the other side of the northern black colt beside him, pondered for a moment, and then responded. Then he watched the performance while discussing with Qi Cao.

After the winner's stage performance, the crowd was bustling and everyone was talking about today's game and evening's performance.

He was also chatting with Northern Xuanju and Xingmu with a rare excited look on his face. Mingsheng Leidong raised his eyes inadvertently and his body froze instantly.

"The seniors' performance...eh?"

He was talking excitedly when he noticed something strange about the thundering sound. Northern Xuanju looked over and asked in confusion, "Mingsheng-chan, what are you doing..."

The next second, she looked in the direction of the thundering sound, her body stiffened and the corners of her mouth twitched in embarrassment.

In the distance, someone hurried through the crowd and came closer. His face was furrowed with fatigue and anxiety.

She was wearing a black suit and looked like she had just finished a meeting. Beads of sweat covered her forehead.

He took a deep breath, looked at Mingsheng Leidong helplessly, then turned his gaze to An Jingzhen, with gratitude in his eyes.

Then she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her eyes became apologetic again, and she looked at Ming Sheng Leidong again.

"So, can you come back with me? We can discuss anything slowly..."

"……don't want."

Revealing an unprecedented stubborn expression, Ming Shengleidong, who had been stiff just now, stiffened his neck as if by reflex and looked to the side.

"I... agreed to compete with Xiaobei. I...

“Don’t be a person who doesn’t keep his promises.”

"Not keeping your promise..."

She repeated it instinctively, and she unconsciously glanced at Yasui Zhen.

An Jing really could understand Mingsheng Leidong's thoughts at the moment.

Trying to persuade the thundering roar at this moment is no less than going back to the past to persuade yourself.

And he knew very well that it was just like the agreement he made with his friends at his age, no matter whether it seemed funny or a joke later.

At the moment when I said the words "agreement", deep down in my heart I was determined to fulfill it to the end, and no one could persuade me.

So, sister Qi Cao, you see, I am of no use...

He had a headache.

For a moment, the air around seemed to freeze. The noise and excited discussions of the crowd were isolated at this moment, leaving only this awkward silence.

Clearly seeing the embarrassment on Yasui Makoto's face, Qicao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he just rubbed the corner of his suit and sighed silently.

Mingsheng Leidang still held his neck stiff, his eyes firmly looking elsewhere, his body tense as if ready to fight at any time, his whole body revealing a subtle uncompromising spirit.

Beibu Xuanju and Xingmu had stopped their excited conversation long ago. When they looked at each other, their little faces were full of helplessness, as if they didn't know what to say.

At the same time as his headache, his scalp also began to numb. Yasui Zhen suddenly felt that it was fortunate that his horse racing girl had been obedient and sensible from beginning to end, and had never created such an embarrassing and suffocating scene.

"It's okay, Mingsheng." Quite abruptly, Northern Xuanju, who was at a loss just now, suddenly took a deep breath and looked at Mingsheng Leidong with a smile.

"Even if you go to the Arc de Triomphe, we... should still compete together."

Like rust falling off a machine, Ming Shenglei's body trembled, and he slowly turned his head with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Xiaobei..."

"It's because of what we said, I mean, the promise, the agreement..."

With a gleam in his eyes, Beibu Xuanju said softly, "That's right, we agreed that in the next game, the next one, and the next, we will all fight together to decide the winner again.

"Is that so, Naruto-chan?"

"……Um."

The look of disbelief disappeared, and Ming Sheng Leidong said seriously, "I won't break our agreement."

"I know, and I've always believed it."

His eyes grew brighter as Northern Black Horse reached out and held Ming Sheng Leidong's hand, "But competing together... doesn't necessarily mean we have to be in the same arena, right? That's what I think.

“The best time to enjoy chrysanthemums is in October, and the best time to enjoy the Arc de Triomphe is also in October.

“And they are all G1-level events.

"Since the time is detailed and the specifications are the same, then...

“Let’s compare and see.

"Let's see whether I win the Chrysanthemum Award or you win the Arc de Triomphe Award."

The eyes that were once thundering with thunder were instantly lit up, like embers rekindled, and fighting spirit gradually emerged from those purple-blue eyes.

She raised her chin slightly and looked directly at the Northern Black Colt with a firm gaze. She once again had the temperament of being ready to fight at any time. She exuded a fearless aura, and even her shaking ears and wagging tail seemed to be expressing her desire for victory.

"What if we both win?" she suddenly asked in a serious tone.

"...I never considered losing, but..."

Surprise and amusement flashed across his eyes for a moment, and Northern Xuanju's eyes also became hot.

"This is the Naruto-chan I know."

The red eyes were like two shining stars, with a sparkling look. Northern Black Horse waved his arm and suddenly shouted.

"Then move on to the next game!
"Didn't we have an agreement?

"The next game, the next game, the competition between us...

"It will never end easily, the sound of thunder is deafening!"

Following Kitaguchi Xuanju's declaration, An Jingzhen's pupils shrank and his eyes widened unconsciously, and he subconsciously looked at the air tank on the side.

He happened to meet the surprised gaze of the horse racing girl and saw the same surprise in her heart. He couldn't help but smile and took two steps back.

In a very tacit understanding, the Qi Trough followed.

"Xiaobei...I'm so envious."

Qicao was the first to speak. She shook her head gently and chuckled, "She is really so sensible. Compared to her, Mingsheng is really..." She didn't finish her words and shook her head again.

Perhaps knowing Qicao's helplessness and envy, An Jingzhen was very surprised and felt a sense of complacency in his heart.

But soon his mind moved, and he collected his thoughts and thought of another thing.

"Sister Qicao, please forgive me for making fun of you." After becoming familiar with Qicao, he always addressed her as such:
"Speaking of which, I'm planning to take Northern Xuanju and Xingmu for a comprehensive physical examination soon. Does Mingsheng Leidong have any plans for this?"
