"Ah... haha, Dr. S, is there anything else...?" Huiyi turned around stiffly, praying that this quack doctor wouldn't hit the mark by accident...
"Nothing much, just a reminder that your constitution is a bit on the 'cold' side. Pay more attention to 'warming' foods in your daily diet. I'm not sure, but I feel like the 'cold qi' in your body is a bit too strong. You must spend a lot of time in 'cold' and damp places, right?"
"Haha... well, that's true. I go for a run along the riverbank every morning. Maybe it's because the morning air and the riverside are too damp." Going along with Dr. S's words, Huiyi was relieved that she hadn't seen through her. But at the same time, she was a bit afraid of this somewhat metaphysical stuff.
What if one day, the metaphysics aligned... and she got banned from racing?
Dr. S looked thoughtful but said no more. Seeing that she could finally escape, Huiyi fled the infirmary. She sat down on a bench by the road and let out a long sigh, making a mental note once again—stay away from people with a touch of the metaphysical!
Kitahara came out of the infirmary two minutes later. By the time they returned to the training room, it was almost noon. Huiyi, with nothing to do, felt like she had ants crawling all over her, but Kitahara still hadn't given her any training assignments.
Leaning against the high back of the sofa, Huiyi crossed her arms over her flat chest and grumbled to Oguri Cap, "Honestly, Oguri, look at Kitahara, so relaxed... I want to train, but she won't let me."
"Because Kitahara is a very responsible person. She wouldn't just casually assign training tasks," Oguri Cap said, looking down at some junk news on her phone, completely engrossed.
It seemed the minds of gray-haired horse girls were truly incomprehensible to each other. Every gray-haired horse girl had her own quirks... Oguri Cap, Gold Ship, Tamamo Cross, and so on.
"Hmph, if she won't assign anything, I'll go train myself. I can't stand being idle like this!" Huiyi said this loudly on purpose, then flopped onto the other side of the sofa and shouted towards Nishino Flower, "Flower-chan! Where are my shoes?!"
"They're being maintained! The things left at the academy weren't maintained while we were in Hakodate. No matter how anxious you are, you'll have to wait!" Nishino Flower was still applying oil to a horseshoe in her hand, rubbing the corner of her eye on the shoulder of her shirt.
Her eyes were sore from the intense concentration, but Nishino Flower, striving for perfection, meticulously maintained all the team's equipment.
"Oh... thank you for your hard work, Flower-chan." Huiyi picked up a cup of hot water and chugged it down, squirming on the sofa. Her shoes had been taken by Nishino Flower when she returned to the training room, and she had been lectured about how running without proper maintenance could lead to a loose horseshoe and a fall...
"Found it!" Kitahara, who had been silent until now, suddenly shouted, startling all the horse girls in the room. Huiyi peered over the back of the sofa, a look of surprise on her face.
"Kitahara, what are you shouting about?"
Kitahara walked over with a tablet, pointing at the URA race registration form. "Didn't you want to know about the next race? I looked around... there's a short-distance open race and a mile-grade race. Which one do you want to enter?"
At the mention of a race, Huiyi's eyes lit up. She snatched the tablet and hugged it to her chest. "Let me see, the more races, the better... The more you run, the more you earn. This is all money, who would say no to money..."
Hearing Huiyi's muttering and seeing her fingers flying across the screen, Kitahara had a bad feeling and snatched the tablet back. When she saw the list of proposed races, she let out a piercing scream.
"You little brat! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
The Hakodate Nisai Stakes, the Kokura Nisai Stakes, the Niigata Nisai Stakes, the Daily Hai Nisai Stakes... and then the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies and the Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes?! This was a schedule that not even a brain-damaged person could come up with!
And the Niigata Nisai Stakes and the Kokura Nisai Stakes were on the same day! Was she planning on using a shadow clone jutsu?!
"Hey!! Kitahara! You heard her, Dr. S said my recovery ability is extraordinary! What are these few races!" Huiyi puffed out her chest, still not realizing her mistake, which made a vein throb on Kitahara's forehead.
Kitahara took a deep breath. She wasn't sure where the medicinal scent was coming from, but it stopped her from wanting to punch Huiyi in the head. "You just keep dreaming. Racing like that is impossible."
Oguri Cap also saw the race schedule. She blinked, a bit confused. Having debuted in the regional circuit, she wasn't familiar with the central grade race schedule, but seeing the tight timeline, she instantly understood.
"That really won't work. If Gugu Bird insists... there's a high chance she'll be dealt with by the all-powerful President Rudolf." Oguri Cap still held a grudge from that incident, so her words were tinged with a bit of personal animosity.
The thought of that gray-haired symbol of conquest... Huiyi couldn't help but click her tongue. But then she thought, if she won all those races, wouldn't she become the most legendary horse girl in Japan?
Would Rudolf dare to do anything to her then? Huiyi would just exaggerate all of Rudolf's actions and post them online to denounce her. If she could do that, why would she need to be afraid of this night emperor of Tracen?
But Kitahara just threw a thermos into her lap. "Stop daydreaming. Listen to Dr. S and drink more hot water! If you have no objections, I'll register you for the Hakodate Nisai Stakes first."
"Hey! But..."
"The winner's prize is thirty-two million." Kitahara had naturally guessed Huiyi's thoughts and threw the prize money amount in her face. "So, any objections? It's a 1200-meter race, not a problem for you."
"I'll run, I'll run! No objections!" Huiyi's eyes shone brightly. Who would say no to thirty-two million?! And it was in Hakodate, practically a home game!
"Yo, already deciding on the next race?" Nase Ayano's group returned to the training room just in time to hear about Huiyi entering the Hakodate Nisai Stakes, and she asked casually.
Deep Impact followed behind Mejiro Palmer, her gaze wandering. An indescribable emotion welled up inside her... While she was still struggling with her debut race, her roommate was about to become a grade-race horse girl...?
Her fists clenched unconsciously, and then Deep Impact wiped her palms on her pants.
Huiyi, hugging the thermos, replied, "Yup, the Hakodate Nisai Stakes. It's another short-distance race."
But as Deep Impact's complex feelings passed by Huiyi and she caught the medicinal scent on her, they immediately subsided.
Maybe sometimes you just need to... take things one step at a time, Deep Impact thought.
Her feelings of unwillingness had now been replaced by a calm rationality.
