Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 181 Can I try to escape?

How did she know... Just as this doubt flashed through his mind, An Jingzhen suddenly remembered the guess made by Kita no Xuanju when he first stepped into the room.

At that time, he wondered if the girl in front of him had noticed something, and now it seems that his guess was correct.

Seeing that An Jingzhen was silent for a while, Beibu Xuanju pursed his lips slightly and said softly:

"I don't know if my guess is right, but...it should be related to Xiao Xingmu?"

Yasui Zhen was really surprised, "...You can guess this?"

"it is as expected……"

Nodding, Northern Xuanju also fell silent.

"He must have been thinking about this. After all, I also want Xiao Xingmu to come train with me, so I guess the trainer has been thinking about this these days."

Thinking of the time when Xuanju and Xingmu went out together in the north, Yasui Zhen suddenly realized something.

"Then...what do you think?" He asked subconsciously after suddenly realizing it.

"my words……"

Beibu Xuanju pondered for a moment, “I should be able to understand my uncle and aunt… I mean Xingmu’s parents.

"Think about it carefully. They must be very worried about your future, trainer."

"My future...?" Yasui Zhen was stunned.

"Just like my grandfather," Beibu Xuanju nodded, "He taught many, many disciples.

“No matter how gifted those disciples are, they are not recognized by everyone from the beginning.

"My grandfather himself also went through one performance after another to gain his current fame step by step.

“So, the trainers are probably at this stage.”

As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly, her eyes curved into crescents, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Feeling this kind of understanding, An Jingzhen felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.

The warm current is like the gentlest breeze in spring, sweeping away the haze that I had not even noticed these days.

At the same time, a strange feeling of loneliness quietly emerged.

This kind of loneliness is not the loneliness of being alone, but the result of no one truly understanding one's loss for a long time.

Because of his memories from his previous life, he has tried to get along with "peers" since he was a child.

But no matter how hard one tries, the words and actions formed by past life experiences inevitably reveal an aura that is incompatible with others.

This made it impossible for him to truly integrate into the circle around him. Gradually, as if he had built a high wall in his heart, he no longer easily confided his thoughts to others.

Although he could discuss some things with his parents, they were unable to touch every corner of his heart.

Just like the conversations with Xingmu's parents and the thoughts that lingered in my mind, even if I told them, it might only increase their worries and concerns.

And ultimately, you can only rely on yourself to solve the problem.

At this moment, facing Northern Xuanju, he suddenly realized that it wasn't that no one wanted to understand him, and it wasn't that no one could understand and analyze him from his perspective.

It felt like he suddenly saw a ray of light after groping in the dark for a long time, making him want to tell everything.

So, with this impulse, he told them bit by bit about his conversation with Xingmu's family that day, their tactful but firm attitude, and the guesses and thoughts that arose in his mind.

While he was speaking, he kept looking into the pair of red eyes in front of him, as if he could find comfort and strength in this gaze.

After a long time.

"So, winning the Classic Triple Crown isn't enough..."

After listening to An Jingzhen's confession, Kita no Xuanju murmured, and his mind unconsciously recalled the expression he had just seen.

Just like the enthusiasm of extreme stunts, whether it was the occasional flashes of confusion and helplessness, or the loneliness in the faint sighs, she had never seen such expressions on her trainer before. In a trance, she realized that the trainer in front of her, who had always been omnipotent in her heart, also had unspeakable difficulties and loneliness.

Now that she could be the one to confide in, she felt that she understood An Jingzhen more and more, and at the same time, she had a different feeling.

But she quickly put that strange feeling behind her and clenched her fists.

"If the Classic Triple Crown isn't enough, then let's win more games!

"St. Regent's Commemoration! And then there's the Chrysanthemum Appreciation!
“Then there’s the Arima Kinen at the end of the year!
“I will definitely try my best to win these three fights and show everyone how good my trainer is!

“Trainer…!”

She suddenly regained her usual liveliness and enthusiasm, staring straight at An Jingzhen.

"Didn't you just say that maybe I could try to escape?

"Is that decided then?!

"Let's run a race that will leave everyone dumbfounded and astonished!
"Let's start with the commemoration of St. Martyr!"

……

Beibu Xuanju felt as if she had been particularly able to sense the emotions of people around her since she was very young.

There are happy ones and sad ones, but it seems that there are more sad ones.

And for some reason, she rarely feels sad, and she hopes that the people around her can be happy and have no worries.

How to do this? She doesn't know whether her idea is right or not, but she is willing to bring her emotions that are easily satisfied and happy to the other person.

After noticing An Jingzhen's recent mood, she wanted to find an opportunity to ask him, and the result was just as she expected, her trainer was indeed worried.

Out of habit, she tried to encourage in her own way.

During the last period of training, she was very happy to feel that Yasui Zhen did not give her the vague sense of worry as before.

After finishing the training camp, I made plans with my friends to enjoy the last few days of summer vacation, and school started in the blink of an eye.

After the first day of school, the classroom was filled with the laughter of the racing girls, and they were all sharing the interesting things they had experienced in the summer vacation.

A scream broke the atmosphere.

"What? Naruto-chan is...sick?!"

With his eyes wide open and his mouth hanging open, Northern Black Horse looked as if he had not yet digested the news he had just heard.

"How could this happen... Why didn't she tell me before? No wonder when I asked her out a few days ago, she said she had something to do... So, Crown-chan, what's going on?!"

Standing opposite was Satomi Crown, with a look of worry and helplessness on her face. She looked around and sighed softly.

"I don't know either. I just happened to hear the teachers say this in the office.

"in addition……

"Xiaobei, you could speak a little more quietly. The whole classroom is filled with your loud voice..."

Seeing the surprised looks from the corner of her eye, Beibu Xuanju finally realized her mistake. She blushed and bowed to the people around her.
"Um... I'm sorry, everyone, for disturbing you... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Then, without waiting for a response, she turned around impatiently and looked at Satomi Crown expectantly.

"Then... after we finish training, let's go visit Naruto-chan. She's sick and must really need our care."

"That's no problem," Satomi Crown nodded, "I was originally also..."

Suddenly, the back door of the classroom was half opened with a loud bang, and the next moment a voice as loud as that of Northern Xuanju's just now rang out.

"Hey! Which one of you is the Northern Black Horse?"
