Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 231 The sound of thunder that cannot comfort people
Just when Northern Xuanju was in a dilemma...

thump.

"Ouch!"

Tianyi Xunyu held his head in his hands, stunned for a while, then he saw that the culprit who chopped his head with a knife was his good friend Ribbon Kaige.

"Age...? Why did you hit me?"

After putting away the knife that had just chopped off Tianyi Xunyu's head, there was no trace of apology on Ribbon Kaige's face.

Instead, he quickly glanced at Indomitable True Steel and Thunderous Roar with some comfort, looked at Northern Black Horse with a smile, and abruptly changed the subject.

"What Xiaobei has in his hand... should be the information about the opponent of this Arima Kinen event? I just heard the name of Langri Qingtian Senior.

"Competing with a senior like this... Xiaobei must be under a lot of pressure, right?"

In an instant, Northern Xuanju's expression became serious and his eyes became solemn.

"Senior Langri Qingtian..."

Flipping through the small notebook quickly, she stopped at one page and pursed her lips:
"This year... in the first half of the year, there's the Zhongshan Gold Cup, the Kyoto Memorial, and then...

"One for the Naruo Memorial, one for the Takarazuka Memorial, one for the Kyoto Grand Prix...

"We've already won three games in a row, and then the next one...

"He left with the highest popularity... The Emperor's Autumn Viewing."

As she spoke, her eyes moved, and she raised her head, looking past the horse racing ladies who were feasting or chatting in the cafeteria, and looked into the distance.

"Competing with such a senior... the pressure is definitely huge, but...

"Crown-chan...she must be under even more pressure right now...?"

Hearing this, the horse racing girls at the table couldn't help but look towards Northern Black Horse.

Satomi Crown was not there, but everyone knew that Kita no Xuanju was looking in the direction of the Tokyo stadium.

It was already Saturday, but there were still so many students in the cafeteria. The reason was that the Emperor's Autumn Viewing Game 1 was tomorrow.

Since the stadium is located in Tokyo and is closer to the school, Kita Xuanju wants to stay in school on Saturday so that he can go and cheer for his good friend the next day.

Influenced by her enthusiastic and cheerful personality, Ribbon Kaige and Mingsheng Leidong were often invited to go out and play together, and they became familiar with each other after a few visits.

This time, at the invitation of Northern Xuanju, they stayed overnight at the academy and went to the stadium together tomorrow.

The Satomi sisters, who usually attend such gatherings, are now naturally one preparing for the game at the stadium while the other is helping.

"Xiaobei is really enthusiastic. He was talking about your competition... But the Emperor's Autumn Viewing is definitely closer."

Ribbon Kaige sighed, then turned to thinking: "Crown...she should be fine, right?
"She's been working very hard lately, and with the help of Oguruma-senpai and the others, I heard her family has hired many great trainers. This time, the Emperor's Autumn Appreciation...

"it should be no problem?"

She obviously wanted to comfort Beibu Xuanju, but her tone revealed a lack of confidence that she herself could sense.

As soon as she finished speaking, two voices came out at the same time.

"I'm afraid... it's difficult."

“But the seniors must have worked very hard too.”

After refuting in unison, Mingsheng Leidong and Tianyi Xunyu were both stunned. They looked at each other. Tianyi Xunyu scratched his nose and shrugged.
"Let me make it clear first, I'm not saying anything bad about Crown-san, it's just... it's really hard to win against the seniors.

"And not to mention the seniors, I also felt I was fine before the Chrysanthemum Festival, but in the end I still didn't make it past the northern part."

Upon hearing this, Indomitable Steel and Ribbon Triumphant Song nodded in agreement, while Thundering Sound pinched his chin and said:
"The crown... She's not weak, but this is a competition between us.

"Compared to my seniors...

"I can only say that I once had a running competition with Sister Qi Cao when I was very young. Of course, I couldn't win back then, but now..."

She shook her head.

"At least there are training matches for the parallel runs, but I still can't outrun them."

She looked at Beifang Xuanju: "Xiaobei should... also have this experience?" Beifang Xuanju was silent.

Just as Mingsheng Leidong said, maybe it was because of good luck, or maybe it was because people liked her personality, but from her debut to now, she has received a lot of help from her predecessors.

Running side by side, training matches, demonstrations and guidance, including the notes I recently got...

It can be said that she is indeed very clear about the gap between herself and her predecessors. Even though the gap has been narrowing, it still exists.

So every day while training, preparing for competition, and observing the training conditions of her seniors, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

At this moment, thinking about Satomi Crown who will be competing with his seniors tomorrow, he naturally feels concerned and supportive.

At the same time, I also want to know how Satomi Hiroko, who is also my friend and rival, competes with his seniors after giving so much and working so hard for so long...

What will the situation be and what will be the outcome?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

After asking, seeing that Northern Black Horse remained silent and did not answer, Mingsheng Leidong showed concern in his eyes and subconsciously said:

"So, Xiaobei, you... maybe you should stop thinking too much. Just watch the game tomorrow and focus more on Arima Kinen."

After a moment of shock, Northern Xuanju was very grateful.

She felt that the thundering sound was meant to comfort her, and subconsciously wanted to say thank you.

"After all, besides a strong enemy like Senior Langri Qingtian, you have even stronger opponents."

Mingsheng Leidong said with concern:
“Senior Golden Ship, isn’t it?

"One for the Gaoyue Appreciation, one for the Chrysanthemum Appreciation, one for the Arima Memorial, one for the Takarazuka Memorial twice, one for the Emperor's Spring Appreciation...

"Not counting other wins, in G1 alone, the Golden Ship seniors have won a full six games.

"There are only a few horse girls in 7G1, and she must really want to be one of them.

"Whether it's the Japan Cup or the Arima Kinen, she will definitely fight very hard.

"And her Arima Kinen is in the same situation as you are now. Both of them defeated many seniors in the classic years, so in terms of experience, uh, uh..."

While he was babbling about his concern, Ming Sheng Lei Dong suddenly felt his mouth tighten and he could only make vague grunts.

He looked to the side in surprise and saw that the person covering his mouth was the Indomitable Steel with a funny look on his face.

On the other side, Tianyi Xunyu crossed his arms and nodded repeatedly, while Ribbon Kaige held his forehead with his hand, looking like he had a headache.

On the opposite side, Beibu Xuanju, who had been keeping his head down and silent, had lowered his head completely at some point, with his chin seemingly resting on his chest.

"Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time..."

At this time, Unyielding Real Steel said with a smile: "Mingsheng, sometimes, if you don't know how to comfort someone, you don't have to force it...

"I know you mean well, but I always feel..."

Releasing her hand, she pointed to the Northern Xuanju across the way.

"It seems that because of your comfort, the North has suffered a great blow."

"Huh? This..."

The thundering sound suddenly made her panic. She stood up quickly and said in panic:
"Um... Xiaobei, that's not what I meant. It's just... Senior Golden Ship is indeed very strong, but, but..."

"...Ah, I understand. I understand that Mingsheng-chan is trying to comfort me."

He lowered his head and muttered something, then in everyone's surprised eyes, Beibu Xuanju raised his head, revealing a tense little face and a slightly upturned mouth corner.

"Don't worry, I won't back down from this Arima Kinen...

"and……

"If Senior Golden Ship can do it, why can't I... do it?"
