Uma Musume: From Being Knocked Ten Meters Away

Chapter 559 We are very similar
"So this is ah……"

Nodding knowingly, Beibu Xuanju suddenly noticed that Chunqiufen looked a little disappointed. After thinking for a moment, she quickly made a guess.

Perhaps it's because I see how outstanding my good friend is...

She unconsciously thought of herself.

She met the Satomi sisters when she was very young, as well as Kobayashi Riki-senpai, who was a little older than her, and many, many other children.

While everyone else was around the same age and many of her friends were making their mark, she was still worried about not being able to become a trainer, and even wondered if her talent was too poor, otherwise how could she be so much worse than her friends?

Now that I've gone through so much training and competition, if I think about it carefully, sometimes what I see in front of me may not be the truth, or at least not the whole story.

Thinking this, she suddenly smiled, took Chunqiu Fen's hand, looked at Xingmu, and walked towards Chinatown.

"...Senior?" Chunqiu Fen was somewhat surprised that Beibu Xuanju would do such a thing.

"Before I debuted, many people thought I couldn't run mid-range and long-range races."

Smiling and tilting his head, Beibu Xuanju began to recount the past:
"Shouldn't Xiao Fen know these things?"

"Yes! I know!"

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes nodded without hesitation:

"I've watched every single one of your matches and every single interview! You even mentioned this in one of your interviews!"

Then, her expression became serious:

"But those people are all blind. They just can't see how amazing the senior is!"

"Can't you tell... I don't know either."

Shaking his head, the Northern Black Steed smiled again, then changed the subject:
"Actually, at that time I felt that they... might be right, maybe... I really can only run short distances."

"senior……?"

Staring wide-eyed in surprise, Chunqiu Fen paused for a moment, then shook her head vigorously:
"No, that's not it! Senior, that was just... just..."

She hesitated for a while, her brows furrowing slightly, clearly not knowing how to express her thoughts.

At this moment, the Northern Black Horse spoke up with a smile: "It's just that the flowering season is different."

"Huh? Flowering season..." Suddenly drawn to the attention, Chunqiu Fen was stunned.

"Look, there are some chrysanthemums over there."

As if digressing, Beifang Xuanju pointed to the door of a shop on the side of the street:

"Chrysanthemums bloom in autumn, of course, but autumn is almost over, so Xiaobian, you can see that some of the chrysanthemums have withered."

"Then, after autumn comes winter, and winter is the season for plum blossoms."

"Then spring comes, which is the season for cherry blossoms."

"In summer, although there should be other flowers, when it comes to summer, it really is the season for fireworks."

As she said this with a smile, she raised her hand and rubbed Chunqiufen's ear, who looked completely bewildered.

She secretly sighed, "It feels so good!" and concluded.
"So just like different flowers have different blooming periods, some bloom early and some bloom late, we racehorse girls should be the same."

"Some are very talented from a very young age, some are talented after their debut, and some are talented long after their debut."

"I'm the kind of racehorse girl who only gradually became good after my debut."

"As for Xiaofen... I don't know why, but I always feel that we are very similar, so we must have become more and more successful after our debut."

"So it's normal to feel sad when you have friends who are more successful than you."

"But you still have to believe in yourself."

"Believe in yourself and keep working hard, your time to bloom will surely come." As Beifang Xuanju spoke, Chunqiufen's little face became more and more enlightened.

Finally, her face lit up with surprise, and she nodded vigorously.

"Hmm! I believe you, senior... no, I should say you're right, so I believe you... no, that's not right either. I believe you regardless of whether you're right or wrong... wait, this, this seems even more wrong..."

He rambled on incoherently for a while, then circled back to the same point. The little guy, blushing, closed his eyes in a defiant manner and stretched his neck:
"Anyway, I just trust my senior!"

Because of her appearance, both Beifang Xuanju and Xingmu, who were listening in, couldn't help but smile.

After laughing, Almond-shaped eyes looked at Northern Black Horse with curiosity and longing:

"Senior Xiao Bei... what you just said was so good! It felt like... how Zhen used to instruct us, so cool!"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Chunqiufen chimed in without hesitation: "I also think the senior is super cool!"

"Huh? Hehehe, is that so? Hehehe..."

Startled for a moment, Beifang Xuanju habitually chuckled and scratched her head, then, seeing that Chunqiufen no longer seemed depressed about her previous worries, she suddenly cheered up.

"Alright! Since you're so cool, then let me show you two how to have a blast in Chinatown!"

"Yay! Let's have some fun!" x2.

……

Northern Genko has been to Chinatown many times with Satomi Koujin, and is quite familiar with it inside and out.

As soon as she entered the street, she turned and headed towards a shop that smelled of food.

As they stepped into the shop, Xingmu, who was a little behind, paused slightly, curiously looked at the signboard, and then quickly followed Beibu Xuanju and Chunqiufen.

"Um... Senior Xiao Bei," she asked, puzzled.
"This looks like... a dim sum restaurant? I've already had breakfast, so as for a small portion..."

"I've eaten it too!"

Spring and Autumn Equinox answered immediately, then looked at Northern Black Horse and asked with concern, "So... did Senior Little North not have breakfast? Then we'll wait for you."

"No, that's not it. I've already had breakfast."

Realizing the two had misunderstood, Beibu Xuanju led them to a table, and after they sat down, he explained with a smile:
"Although this place is called 'morning tea,' it's not only served in the morning."

"Then it should be called Cantonese morning tea, which can be enjoyed from morning until noon, so it can be considered a snack shop... That's how I understand it."

"Moreover, the portions are not large, so we can eat slowly."

At the same time, a look of sudden realization appeared on her face, and as she nodded with understanding in her almond-shaped eyes, Chunqiufen said admiringly:
"You're from the North...you know so much."

"Hehe, no."

With a silly grin and scratching his head, Beibu Xuanju explained:

"At first, I actually thought they only sold breakfast here, but I understood after Crown Sauce explained it to me."

"By the way, is there anything you like to eat or don't like to eat? I'll help you order."

Both Xingmu and Chunqiufen were visiting a dim sum restaurant for the first time and didn't know much about it. They both agreed that they could just order food at Beibu Genko.

Beibu Xuanju didn't stand on ceremony. After calling over the waiter, he ordered a lot of classic Cantonese dim sum, such as shrimp dumplings, char siu buns, siu mai, custard buns, and rice noodle rolls, based on his memory.

At first, Xingmu and Chunqiufen were worried that they might have ordered too much, but when they saw that the portions of various delicacies were not large, and after hearing Beifang Xuanju's explanation that "one should not be too particular about the fineness of food and the delicacy of its preparation," they quickly accepted this idea.

Once they took a bite of the shrimp dumpling, their eyes lit up instantly, and they couldn't stop eating their morning tea.
