Tresen's five horses tore me apart

Bai Le stood up and looked at the white-haired girl in front of him with a surprised expression.

This is the first three-star character he directly selected in the game. She is known as the easiest horse girl to raise. With her iconic white hair, she is quite recognizable.

"Well, you know me? I guess I haven't debuted yet."

"I've heard a little bit about you, Kasamatsu's big star. Please take a seat here."

Bai Le greeted enthusiastically.

He had already prepared himself to be closed for a week. After all, this was a foot therapy session, and he was a member of the opposite sex, so the racing girls might not accept it.

Unexpectedly, a heavyweight client came at the end of the first day.

After Bai Le joined the company, he found out that there were only two foot therapists including himself, and the whole job was very leisurely, so leisurely that he suspected that Tresen was just a figurehead.

However, his colleagues did explain this.

"That's how it usually is. The racehorse girls are in great shape, so most of the time they don't need conditioning. Even if they do, there's usually a professional team to handle it. Minor injuries go to the infirmary, and major ones go to the hospital. There's no need to come here. And this place is usually by appointment only. There were no appointments yesterday or this morning, so basically no one came."

So Bai Le spent his first day at work playing with his mobile phone, which even made him feel a little guilty of being a wage thief.

As for his predecessor, because he was old, he went back home immediately after the morning, and he did not have the legendary overtime spirit of the Japanese at all.

Bai Le was also planning to bring two books over for review tomorrow, but he didn't expect to receive a big order before getting off work.

Taking care of Xiao Limao is indeed a big order.

After taking off her shoes and socks and carefully testing the water, the girl slowly immersed her feet in the hot water. Her ears trembled and she relaxed limply.

"What a powerful pair of legs! I imagine they can support quite an impressive run. The nails are beautifully manicured too."

"Uh, thank you."

Xiao Li Mao looked at Bai Le, who was wearing a football helmet in front of him, and a strange look finally appeared on his usually indifferent face.

"Soak in hot water first. It's supposed to be a medicinal bath, but I just arrived and realized we're short on some herbs, so we can only use hot water first. If the water temperature is too high, remember to let me know."

Bai Le put a towel on his shoulders, skillfully brought a basin and placed it in front of the girl, then went to prepare the ingredients.

Everything would have looked quite normal if the man hadn't been wearing a helmet that was totally out of place and out of tune with the atmosphere.

In fact, Bai Le did learn a set of fascia release techniques from his relatives, which was said to be inherited from their ancestors. He didn't know how to do pedicures, but if the purpose was to relax the muscle fascia of the feet and legs, this set of techniques could handle it.

Yesterday, as soon as Bai Le started, he discovered that there was some problem with Junchuan Tezuna's right foot, so he used some techniques. In order to achieve better results, he also added a little extra strength.

The technique he learned was quick and effective. It didn't focus too much on acupuncture points, but directly acted on the connection points between the deep muscles and fascia. Five minutes could have the same effect as half an hour of normal massage. It just required the user to have some knowledge of the human muscle structure. With this in mind, the ancestral saying was actually a bit questionable, but it was fine as long as it worked.

Of course, powerful effects often come with a price, and this technique is... painful. Very painful.

Yesterday, Mr. Bai Le faced a sonic boom kick from Junchuan Tezuna, which he subconsciously kicked out due to the pain, and he is still frightened.

If the other party hadn't subconsciously avoided him, he would be either in the ICU or the morgue now, and he wouldn't have to worry about food and accommodation.

So today Bai Le chose to give himself some protection and specially borrowed a motorcycle helmet.

In any case, it is definitely much stronger than facing the horse girl's sonic boom kick head-on.

Bai Le also confirmed it yesterday. Even though the horse girl showed incredible strength and speed, the muscle and skeletal structure of her legs was indeed no different from that of humans.

So what he learned can be fully applied here.

As for why I didn't apply for the position of masseur, first of all, people who frequently get massages know that, except for essential oil massage, masseuses normally perform massages through a layer of cloth. On the one hand, this reduces direct physical contact, and on the other hand, it also protects the skin.

Bai Le wasn't sure if contact through cloth counted as physical contact, nor did he feel qualified to give the horse girl an essential oil massage inside Tresen, not to mention that the technique he mastered wasn't the gentle, soothing kind.

But it is different for the feet. Foot massage is basically done directly, which can ensure the completion rate of the task.

When the time was almost up, Bai Le officially started working and took a small stool and sat down.

First, use a towel to dry both feet that have been soaked in water, then wrap one of them with a towel and place it on the footstool on the side.

"It looks like a rice ball..."

Then he found that Little Chestnut was muttering and looking at his wrapped feet, and seemed to be drooling.

"You can't eat this. Please be patient, Oguruma-san."

"Sorry, I'm a little hungry."

"It's okay, wait until we're done here, then go and have dinner in peace."

After saying a word of comfort, Bai Le began to concentrate on dealing with the one in his hand.

He first sighed in his heart, thinking that horse girls were indeed a race favored by the gods. Normally, the soles of feet of people who run frequently cannot be kept in such good condition, and there will be some calluses and deformations.

However, the foot in his hand had delicate skin, even bones and flesh, and it became soft after being fully soaked in hot water. There was no smell after the slight dirt was washed away by the water. At first glance, it looked like a simple and beautiful work of art.

Bai Le's previous statement about Oguruma was actually based on his impression of him in the game. The Oguruma in the game was very good at running ahead and behind the horse, using his amazing last-minute burst to surpass all opponents at the end of the race.

However, after really trying it, Bai Le felt that he did seem to have some feeling: the sole of the foot in his hand contained some kind of power. When he pressed his fingers a little harder, he seemed to feel a vigorous vitality beating.

It seems quite normal when you think about it. After all, Uma Musume is a living being that can run at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour. It would be strange if her legs were not strong and powerful.

"You've been running too hard on a daily basis. Some of your small muscles are very tense, which will accumulate damage over time. If you have time, it's best to come for physical therapy once a day, or find a professional team to treat you."

Using very little force, he slid his thumb gently from the forefoot to the taut arch, and then to the round heel, slowly feeling the veins of the muscles on the other person's foot, pushing away the tiny grains hidden under the skin, and speaking slowly.

This sentence is the truth, but it is also Bai Le's personal selfishness.

He massages one foot for fifteen minutes and both feet for half an hour. In this way, as long as two horse racing girls come over every day, his task can be completed on time and in quantity. It's great.

Of course, in order to avoid accidents, it is best to have four to five regular customers, so as to ensure sufficient tolerance for errors.

As for the suggestion of finding a professional team, it was Bai Le’s own insistence.

Although I have learned the skills, I have too little practical experience and am definitely not as good as the professional teams that take care of horse girls, so this advice is sincere.

He didn't know whether Oguruma had officially debuted on Central Entertainment. Probably not, otherwise she wouldn't have come here. However, after her debut, it would be better to find a professional team to do it.

The industry in this area of Umamusume World should be very mature.

"Well."

The girl, who was sitting solemnly on the chair, seemed a little touched when she heard this. Bai Le felt the muscles in his hands contract and relax in an instant.

However, Xiaolimao did not directly answer this question, so Bai Le still needs to work hard to get his first regular customer.

"Your appetite should be good on weekdays. Um, your digestion and sleep should also be okay. It will be a little painful later, so bear with it."

Bai Le said this, first moving himself to the side, then using a little force on his hands.

“Ugh—”

The moment he made his move, the sole of the foot in his hand suddenly became as hard as iron, and the five beautiful toes were clearly spread out and arched.

The other foot bounced up directly, and the towel on it was thrown away, making a crisp sound.

Bai Le wiped his helmet and confirmed that his decision to move in advance was indeed correct.

"I'm so sorry, I'm a little, uh..."

Realizing his own misconduct, Oguruma tried to stand up, but found it difficult to move barefoot, so his movements became chaotic and he ended up in a strange position on the sofa.

"It's okay, just sit down. It will hurt a lot, but the effect is generally very good. Would you like to feel it for yourself, Oguruma-san?"

Bai Le stepped back a few steps, took off his helmet, then pulled out a new towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then let out a breath and said.

He used his real strength in that move, and whether it succeeded or not depended on how Little Limao felt.

"This... seems to be much easier. Thank you very much, Mr. Physical Therapist."

The girl tried to move her feet, lifting and lowering her five toes one by one, and soon showed an expression of surprise.

"That's good, it's easy. Okay, let's move on to the calf. It'll be done soon, and then the other foot."

Bai Le wiped the sweat off his face and put his helmet back on.

5. New Customers

"Let's say, Xiaoli, you seem to be in particularly good shape today. Do you have any new secrets?"

The girl, whose figure could be considered petite even among junior high school students, asked impatiently after finishing her daily training.

"Yeah, there is."

"So...wait, there really is one."

The petite horse racing girl widened her eyes and said in horror.

"Well, Tamamo-senpai, do you want to try it?"

"Tell me quickly."

……

"Excuse me, is this the physical therapy department?"

As the door was pushed open, Bai Le's gaze moved down and locked onto the little guy who was not tall but was shouting loudly, giving people the feeling that he was about to make a fierce appearance.

"Is Tresen still recruiting elementary school students... No, this Ashimao, Tamamo Cross?"

After thinking for a while, Bai Le recognized the little guy in front of him.

After all, there aren't many horse girls in Ashikage's life, and as an older Chinese man, he just happens to like this type, so the impression he has is quite deep.

"You've heard of my reputation, haven't you? Xiaoli told me that your physical therapy is very effective. Can I try it? Besides, I'm not a child!"

The reed-haired girl, who was only 1.4 meters tall, seemed a little annoyed when she heard this, and seemed very dissatisfied with the child/elementary school student's statement.

Xiao Limao, you did a good job, you did a good job.

"Of course, this place is meant to serve the students of Tresen."

"If the effect is not good, we will bite people."

The elementary school student muttered dangerously.

"What if the effect is good?"

But Bai Le heard it.

"Uh."

Tamamo Cross was a little stunned, his eyes widened instantly, his ears suddenly stood up, and even trembled.

The little guy obviously didn't expect this.

"How about we treat you to takoyaki?"

After a few seconds, she asked tentatively.

Tamamo Cross-san is from a poor family and belongs to the type of horse girl who grew up in a relatively poor environment as mentioned earlier. Although she has achieved some results since her debut, she has not won any championship or prize of high prize level. After supporting her family with the prize money, the remaining part of the prize money is enough to maintain her life, but she can only think about finding good logistics support.

Otherwise, she would not have come here after hearing Oguruma's recommendation. Otamamo, who was from a poor family, could only rely on her own efforts to find ways to improve herself.

However, if you buy some ingredients and use the school's equipment to make some takoyaki, Tamamo Cross, who originated in Kansai, will have no problem.

"Sure, Tamamo-san, please prepare the takoyaki."

The joy in Bai Le's heart has been transformed into motivation for work.

However, he encountered some problems during the actual operation.

"Um... um..."

Tamamo Cross is trying hard to stretch his legs.

Tamamo Cross's elementary school student-like body meant that when she sat on the sofa, her feet could not reach the basin on the ground. She could only stretch her legs down in the air with her ankles stretched out. In addition, her body was small and her weight was light, so she could not even press down on the sofa cushions, let alone lean back. She could only sit forward, otherwise her whole body would slide down.

Bai Le is a professional. He only grinned after putting on the helmet.

"It's okay, I'll just sit like this."

Tamamo Cross may be small, but she has a big temper, and she angrily challenges the problems that come with her size.

"No, that's not safe."

Bai Le naturally refused this.

"Let's say, what could be unsafe about a physical therapy session?"

"Tamamo-san, I'm saying I'm not safe."

Bai Le said seriously.

His voice came out from the helmet, a little muffled.
