Uma Musume Girl, I'll tell you about my Santa Hat special move too?

"Isn't Sasa needle therapy just bloodletting?"

Stardust Illusion is ruthless.

"No! Who told you that Sasa needle therapy is just bloodletting? It's a very complex medical technique!"

"Phew... I was almost driven crazy by you. If it weren't for the fact that you're a Stardust Illusion, I would have refused to accept you, you annoying guy."

An Xinze wiped away her sweat and regained her composure.

She said irritably, "If you don't believe me, then try it yourself!"

“Me?” Stardust Illusion pointed to its own nose. “I’ve never studied medicine.”

"I'll point out where the acupoints are. You can then gently press them with a needle without breaking the skin."

An Xinze explained it this way.

In an effort to change the stereotypes Tracey College held about her, the acupuncturist deliberately rotated between various hospitals to improve her reputation.

That's how I had the chance to "bump into" the runner Stardust Illusion at the hospital closest to Li Dong's dormitory.

"Stop dawdling and get to it—aren't you quite concerned about this little girl?"

"I'm afraid of hurting her again!" Stardust Illusion rolled her eyes, still very hesitant.

She was torn between distrusting the quack doctor and fearing that her lack of expertise might cause Mi Yu unnecessary suffering.

"It's alright...brother."

Mi Yu kept her head down, so her expression couldn't be seen. She softly comforted her, "If you don't mind that Mi Yu might bring misfortune, then please, brother, do it..."

"This...I..."

When asked to do this by Mi Yu, Stardust Illusion slowly typed out a question mark.

She was only worried about his poor technique; if Mi Yu said that and she still refused, wouldn't it make it seem like she really disliked him for bringing her misfortune?

Fine, I'll just grit my teeth and go for it!

----------

The Emperor of the East Sea lingered at the hospital entrance for quite some time, pacing back and forth.

Every time I wanted to go in and take a look, I hesitated and pulled my foot back.

If she actually ran in, and the Stardust Illusion saw her, wouldn't it think the Emperor was following her?

That won't do! Emperors aren't those kinds of stalkers!

The Emperor of the East Sea frowned at the thought of possibly being given such a vile title.

However, she was also curious about what had happened that made Stardust, who had gone out with the Sun God, return to the hospital carrying someone else.

Especially when she was standing at the door, she vaguely saw the Stardust Illusion rush in and then seem to have taken a hard fall at the very back of the hall.

"I hope she's alright..."

Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help but worry about the other party's condition.

It shouldn't be serious that a fall would cause anything serious, after all, everyone says that Stardust Illusion's physical abilities are simply monstrous.

I've never heard of Godzilla injuring itself by falling.

……

Wait a minute, Your Majesty, you are a proud runner aiming for an undefeated three-crown title, how come you hesitate for so long even when going to the hospital?

Think carefully about what the president will do!

Yes, if it were the president, they wouldn't care about these things at all.

She thought this to herself, and then her eyes hardened:

"Stardust Illusion... Wait until you get back to your dorm, then the Emperor will come and ask you about the situation. If you don't answer properly, you'll be in big trouble then!"

Having said this, the Emperor of the East Sea took a deep breath, turned around, and walked outside:

"It's definitely not that the emperor is afraid to go in, it's just that there's no need to be so concerned!"

Chapter 136 First, let's pay our respects to the three goddesses!

"Be gentle."

"Tsk, I already told you I don't know how to do this. Don't you have any other doctors here?!"

"I'm the only one on duty in the emergency room; the other person is out on a call!"

Inside the emergency room, Stardust Illusion held Mi Yu's right foot with one hand, while his left hand held a long needle, hesitating to stab it.

Anxinze, the quack doctor, was also squatting to the side without any regard for his image, instructing the racehorse girl on acupuncture to disperse blood stasis.

Just moments ago, Mi Yu's face was brimming with tears, but now it was flushed crimson, and she lowered her head, murmuring softly:

"Um... please hurry, brother..."

"Huh? Hmm... okay."

The Stardust Illusion was somewhat awkward, as the scene already looked rather strange.

With Mi Yu in this state, her little feet, which were being held up, were trembling slightly, making the atmosphere even more ambiguous.

"What are you doing? Hurry up, just prick this spot, be careful not to break the skin."

The quack doctor beside him kept urging him on, and Stardust Illusion was already in a bind, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and slowly insert the three-edged needle into his left hand.

Since this type of needle is not used for acupuncture, the tip is not too sharp, which allows her to gently insert it into the bruised area and apply force inward.

"Ugh—!" Mi Yu couldn't help but groan as the cold needle pricked her ankle.

She slightly raised her head and secretly glanced at the figure squatting in front of her. She was extremely nervous and could only close her eyes and silently endure it, praying that it would end soon.

"Okay, keep this pressure and gently twist the needle with your fingers—can't you be a little quicker? You were so decisive when you were running, why are you hesitating now!"

Seeing that Stardust Illusion had begun treatment but was still moving very stiffly, Cici Mei retorted sharply, trying to get revenge for being called a quack doctor earlier.

Stardust Illusion was furious just looking at her face, but she didn't dare let this quack doctor with the needle actually do it, lest she go up and bleed Mi Yu and really affect her.

Relax... relax...

The stardust illusion kept hypnotizing me in my mind, and gradually the chaotic thoughts from before disappeared.

Her eyes gradually filled with a blank expression, and her movements began to become more precise.

At this moment, her precise and standard movements were concise and without any errors.

If someone familiar with their team were to look at them from behind, they might even mistake them for Miura Bourbon squatting there receiving treatment.

This near-synchronous state greatly increased the efficiency of the Stardust Illusion, completing the treatment in no time.

The swelling in the treated ankle had noticeably subsided, and Stardust Illusion finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the results in his hand.

"Alright... We've run out of medicine here, I'll go get some more. You two will have your blood drawn and do some routine tests later. Take the medicine home and apply it every day, then come back in a couple of days for the test results."

Cicimei withdrew the needle directly from Stardust Illusion's hand, and then examined the bruises on Stardust Illusion's back.

She searched around and found that all the traditional Chinese medicine for bruises and sprains was used up, so she waved her hand and left the emergency room again to prepare more medicine, leaving the two people in the room.

Stardust Illusion simply picked up the white socks she had just taken off and gently slipped them onto Mi Yu's right foot, inevitably touching them again along the way.

The rice bath, which she had been able to tolerate during the treatment, now made her tense up like a startled rabbit every time it was directly touched, before relaxing completely...

"Okay, let me help you down and see if you can?"

Stardust Illusion finally managed to put the white socks on her and then put the little leather boots on her before standing up and asking.

Mi Yu stammered, her face flushed, struggling to speak, before finally managing to utter a single word:

"Um……"

"It's okay, it won't hurt too much, don't be afraid."

Seeing her condition, Stardust Illusion quickly offered a word of comfort.

She helped the dark-haired girl up, allowing her right foot to lightly touch the ground.

Mi Yu silently probed the ground beneath her feet, her head almost touching her chest, let alone making eye contact with the stardust illusion.

Seeing her appearance, Stardust Illusion was also a little embarrassed.

Seemingly sensing the atmosphere, Mi Yu asked in a low voice:

"Brother...why are you doing this to Mi Yu?"

"Well, there's nothing I can do! You have no idea how terrifying that quack doctor was. Although that kind of treatment might actually be very effective, if something goes wrong, it won't just be a simple sprain!"

Stardust Illusion quickly tried to explain, though she herself didn't know why she was panicking:

"Besides... we're both racehorse girls, aren't we? It's just treating an ankle, and I can learn this acupuncture technique while I'm at it..."

"That's not it……"

Hearing the Stardust Illusion beside her launch into a long, rapid-fire explanation, Mi Yu's face flushed even more, and her voice trembled:

She suppressed her embarrassment and persisted in asking:

"Mi Yu is asking...why...why is someone as powerful as Stardust Illusion so kind to Mi Yu..."

"Rice Bath is... a racehorse girl who brings misfortune... If you get too close... it will only cause Stardust Illusion... to be hurt like it is today..."

Although this short time together made Mi Yu even more enamored with the feeling of being around the Stardust Illusion.

But she knew that if she continued like this, she would only cause more and more trouble for the other party.

For Mi Yu, the Stardust Illusion was like the morning star high in the sky, while she herself was just an ant hiding in the shadows, and they shouldn't have had much interaction from the very beginning.

What if my actions affect her health or even her performance?

"What if it affects me because of you—Mi Yu, are you thinking about things like that?"

His innermost thoughts were directly expressed by the morning star before him.

"Whoa—! Mind reading?!"
