After casually explaining herself, Kitasan Black saw that her friends were still looking at her strangely and could not help feeling a little embarrassed. She hurriedly changed the subject.
"Anyway, I'll finish eating soon. Or—if everyone wants to go back and rest, or has something to do, you can head back first. You don't have to wait for me."
But after saying that, which had originally only been meant to change the subject, she was just about to dig into her food when an idea suddenly struck her, and she added, "By the way, does everyone have anything to do tomorrow? Since the training race is over, why don't we go out and have some fun together?
"Or—ah, right!"
She looked at Satono Diamond and eagerly suggested, "The Japanese Derby is coming up for Diamond-chan. Why don't we help Diamond-chan train?"
No one had expected Kitasan Black to switch topics so quickly, and the others were all stunned for a moment.
Futanari Shingang was the first to react. After thinking about it, she shook her head with an amused smile. "If we're helping Diamond, doesn't that mean we'll be training again?
"Oh, it's not that I don't want to help Diamond. It's just that Little Kita, your Trainer probably told you too, right? The training race was pretty intense. It'd be better to get some rest."
"Huh? Oh, right—"
After a surprised pause, Kitasan Black said helplessly, "My Trainer really did tell me to rest properly. That's why I thought everyone was probably the same, so maybe we could go out and have some fun together."
Then she perked up again. "But going to cheer Diamond-chan on sounds nice too, doesn't it? What do you think?"
Futanari Shingang was somewhat tempted. She looked at Satono Diamond, then at Satono Crown.
