Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 36 Leading the way by the nose

Beibu Xuanju finally left the appearance circle with a flushed face and a stiff smile, waving one hand mechanically and holding the broken zipper with the other.

I walked from behind the scenes to the underground passage leading to the racecourse. I looked around and saw that the nearest Uma Musume was over a hundred meters away...

"Ah ...

She leaned her head against the wall, twisting her hands and feet as if she didn't know what to do. She lowered her voice and frantically talked for a while. Then she stood up straight, raised her head, clenched her fists, and let out a long breath.

"Never mind, let's think on the bright side. At least I didn't put my shoes on backwards this time... but it's still so embarrassing!"

He twisted against the wall for a while.

"Please proceed to the gates and get ready, please proceed to the gates and get ready. I repeat, please proceed to the gates and get ready."

Hearing the broadcast in the passage, he was stunned for a moment, quickly patted his cheeks, took a few deep breaths, and then Northern Black Horse trotted towards the exit of the passage.

The opponents who had appeared before were approaching the gate one after another. Without thinking too much, she quickened her pace.

Suddenly, when she passed a horse girl, the other party called her in a strange voice.

"Northern Xuanju-san..."

"Ah? Hey? It's Benteng classmate..." Seeing that it was Satomi Benteng who called him, Kita no Xuanju hurriedly stopped and greeted him enthusiastically: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Nothing, it's just..."

Still making strange sounds, Satomi Benteng pointed at the upper body of Northern Xuanju.

"Did you forget to take off your sports coat?"

"...

"...

"..."

The northern black horse wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Even though she couldn't see her own face, the burning sensation made her very clear that her face must look very red at the moment.

Seeing the distress of Northern Xuanju, Satomi Benteng said kindly:

"The staff haven't left yet, so there's still some time to go through the gate. Take off your coat and hand it to them..."

Halfway through his speech, he saw Kita no Xuanju pulling at the zipper, his face turning even redder, as if he couldn't pull it open. Satomi Benten unconsciously took two steps closer.

"Uh, I need your help..."

She was suddenly stunned.

scoff-

There was a loud sound of cloth tearing, and in front of Satomi Benten's shocked gaze, Kita no Xuanju tore open Yun's jacket.

Then, the black-haired girl blushed, twitched the corners of her mouth and gave her an awkward smile, then covered her face with a coat or piece of cloth and rushed towards the staff on the field.

After being silent for a long time, Ri Jian Ben Teng shook his head in amusement, then turned to think secretly with a serious expression.

Even though I'm still so careless, that kind of power... well, just like the trainer said, I need to pay attention to this.

Naturally, many viewers saw Beibu Xuanju's action of "clothes bursting" on the spot, and it naturally caused bursts of laughter.

An Jingzhen, Yamato Akagi and Vodka also saw it. After being silent for a moment, Vodka frowned thoughtfully.

"Xiaobei's strength is still so great...it should be hard to control during the competition, right?"

"That's exactly what happened when I was running alongside Xiaobei."

Yamato Akagi also frowned and said:
"Her speed control is a problem, but if she can maintain a certain speed, she can do it, and she has a good sense of rhythm in this regard.

“But when it comes to speeding up or slowing down, she takes a bit too long.

"It's okay during training, but during the game..."

She shook her head.

"The opponent won't give her that many opportunities."

When she said this, she deliberately glanced at An Jingzhen, and so did Vodka beside her.

Knowing that the two horse racing girls probably wanted to ask him how to deal with it, and that he did have corresponding arrangements, Yasui Makoto did not say anything.

This kind of thing cannot be explained in a short time. On the other hand, the game is about to begin.

Rather than explaining it now, it might be easier to let the two horse racing girls witness it with their own eyes.

And with their talents and experience, they will understand their own thoughts.

……

"Everything is ready now. The athletes are entering the gates one after another." "So, let's go to the Tokyo venue, the 2000m grass race..."

"Start!"

As soon as the live broadcast was finished, 14 figures rushed out from the gate.

As if they had seen it before, all the horse racing girls leaned towards the inner lane at the same time.

Suddenly, the commentator's voice changed.

"One runner made a mistake at the start and was a step late!
“It’s Minnesota, which ranks third in popularity!
"However, she lived up to her popularity and previous achievements, and quickly adjusted to a position at the back of the team.

"The current top spot goes to the 10th most popular flag-fighting contestant!

“She was very fast and grabbed the front position in one go.

“Outside!
"He's galloping out! It's the Satomi Runner!

“She’s pressing directly at the flag-fighting contestant, is she trying to grab the vacant position?

“No, Satomi Pentium took the third position after a short speed increase.

“The second place is held by a player from San Martin.

"Following the vanguard is contestant Northern Xuanju, who is positioned even further forward this time."

At this point in the live broadcast, Vodka suddenly nodded in the audience.

"Sure enough, Yamato, you guessed it too, right?"

"Well, Douqi is indeed leading the way."

Yamato Akagi also nodded.

"She's probably not a runaway horse. Her running form, positioning habits, and pace aren't suitable for running away.

"But the previous races were all very short, and she was used to faster races, so once she started running she would unconsciously use her familiar speed and rhythm.

"But it could also be the trainer's instructions. If that's the case, if I don't react in time, I'll be led around by her.

"in particular……"

After a pause and looking at his friend for a moment, Yamato Akagi glanced at Yasui Shin and became puzzled.

Strange, he should be well aware that Xiaobei is not good at fine control of speed, and high-speed lead races are inherently difficult to handle. Moreover, he seems to have not yet started training Xiaobei in this area...

So why is he so calm?

Yamato Akagi frowned secretly.

As one of the best escape horses in recent generations and even the entire industry, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with her judgment.

She did not deny the trainer's talent and ability. She had confirmed his excellence many times.

However, no matter how good he is, no matter how much he ignores the opponent's youth, it is an indisputable fact that Xiaobei is only in the second game right now.

Lacking precise control of speed, the second race presented a situation where this ability was crucial. The confidence this trainer displayed through his composure...

Where does it come from?

He frowned again for a moment, staring at the team moving at high speed on the field, and Yamato Akagi began to think quickly.

She didn't intend to ask An Jingzhen.

What others can do, I can do too, and I must be the best. There is no other goal except this.

This has always been her creed.

She was confident that she could figure out the key.

However, as time went on, her frown deepened.

Because she hadn't figured out what An Jingzhen was planning.

So, he... doesn't have any arrangements?
No, that's not right. I'm not dazzled. The abilities he displayed were not fake...

But we were almost at the third bend, and Xiaobei still hadn't moved. Did I have to keep following him...

and many more!

Follow...

His eyes suddenly widened and Yamato Akagi exclaimed in surprise.

"Satomi Pentium?!"
