Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

"It just so happens that I've almost finished the main content of my thesis... Amber, you can also take a look, check for bugs, find typos and such."

Hitoko Amber stiffly took out her phone and turned on the screen. Kotobuki Toru had sent a large pile of files, and at a glance, one of them included—

The main body of the paper is 500 pages long, and the consensus document is nearly 1TB in size, containing [personally participated practical results], [first-hand practical research data], [references], [authoritative literature], and [institutional reports].

Even though Hitoko's phone only weighs about 300 grams, looking at the pop-up message box, Hitoko truly felt the weight of knowledge... This 1TB of knowledge! It might really weigh 1TB!

So heavy! It's suffocating!

Even more alarming, a pop-up notification appeared on the community corrections platform, asking whether the user wanted to accept the request.

This platform is completely incompetent! Such a huge amount of knowledge! How can someone like me, a nobody who hasn't even gone to university, possibly handle it...?

Therefore, Hitotsu Amber decisively pressed the "Reject Acceptance" button. Keeping such an academically rigorous paper in her hands would be more harmful than a virus.

"Um, it doesn't have to be this thin... a thicker one would be better... I like it thicker." Hito Amber was both incompetent and playful, and had no desire to read Kotobuki Toru's paper, but she could still ask Kotobuki Toru directly. "Could you give me a rough outline?"

"My point of view is that racehorses can acquire something similar to skill points in their daily life, racing training, and reading. Reading books on concentration skills can accumulate concentration points, and practicing concentration at the start of the race can also accumulate points... After accumulating to a certain extent, the racehorse will naturally learn the skill."

"Oh, right? Watch more and practice more, and the skills will come naturally?"

"No, the main significance is that if trainers can find the most efficient way to gain skill points when raising racehorse girls, it will help the girls grow better than simply studying books."

Fei Tu Amber bared her teeth, "Then why do you often make me read?"

Kotobuki was speechless: "Isn't what I made you study a required course for the exam? If you don't pass the required course, you'll have to repeat the year... You haven't looked at skill books much, have you? I didn't make you look at the required course for running escape horses, 'The Fugitive,' nor did I make you memorize the course for running bad horses, 'The Big Picture.'"

Hitotsu Kohaku blinked, realizing that the situation was indeed just as Kotobuki Toru had said. "That... is true, Toru, you're a really nice person!"

“You can’t just thank me when you don’t have to study, but according to my theory… Amber, you’re really the kind of horse girl who’s better at growing through daily life and observation.”

"Hehehe~ Is that so? Now that you mention it, I feel like I've figured something out!" Fei Tu Hu Po scratched her head: "I feel like I'm going to grow a brain! My head is getting all tingly."

Jifeng scratched his head: "Now that you mention it... I'm a little itchy too. Could it be that I've figured it out as well?"

"What are you two thinking about? It's raining..."

Chapter 263 That Heavy Rain Ruined My Sports Dream

In March and April, Japan's rainy season and cherry blossom festival arrive as scheduled, and many stories circulate during this time. Some say that a certain band called "Ku Lai Xi Ku" (meaning "bitterly bitter") disbanded during this period, and a certain rich girl ran away from home; there are even rumors that someone slew a dragon in Tokyo.

However, these are ultimately just legends. At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on more practical matters—

"It's raining! Everyone, bring in the laundry!"

"Where's the awning? Where's the awning? Hurry up and go to the warehouse to get the awning..."

"Wow, the weather forecast really didn't lie to me."

A light drizzle fell from the sky; the rain was still light at the moment, and when it landed on a person's hair, it only caused a slight itch.

However, according to the weather forecast, the rainfall will gradually increase, eventually reaching moderate rain levels. The problem is that once the early spring rains begin, they tend to be continuous, adding a touch of chill to the just-warming earth.

The people at the archery dojo crowded under the eaves, watching the rain fall softly.

"Gyokumine, move aside! My archery uniform is custom-made, and the skirt is made by Nishijin Textile, it's very expensive! Weren't you just being polite and respectful to your elders and children?"

"My archery uniform isn't cheap either. It was a birthday gift from Gao Shang Junyi and Qiang Ji, so it's very meaningful. You should be the one giving way to me! Ai You, don't you understand?"

The noblewoman and Jifeng exchanged barbs, elbows bumping against each other, each trying to push the other into the rain. The more they jostled, the more space was created where Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru were standing.

Kotobuki Toru reached out and felt the fine rain. The flower and plant nurseries in the archery dojo looked even more vibrant and lively under the nourishment of the rain. The small, soft flowers swayed gently in the breeze, creating a beautiful scene.

Kotobuki Toru said with a hint of worry, "I wonder if the rain will affect the cherry blossom viewing. If the rain gets too heavy, the cherry blossom petals will be knocked off."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Hitoko Amber was rather optimistic. "If it rains heavily, we can see the cherry blossom river! That would be nice... I just don't know if we'll be lucky enough to see one of those contestants that the teacher mentioned before, the kind who thinks it's stupid for people to go out in the rain to see the cherry blossom river."

Kotobuki touched his nose, looking quite embarrassed.

To avoid further embarrassment, Kotobuki Toru looked into the distance and said, "Besides the cherry blossom festival... we also need to pay attention to the track conditions for the Satsuki Sho. You ran the Yayoi Sho on dry ground before, but when Kohaku runs the Satsuki Sho, it will probably be on muddy ground."

"Ah..." Hitoko Amber gaped, "It seems there really is such a thing! What should I do if the venue becomes a full-fledged horse riding arena or a slightly full-fledged horse riding arena?"

Qin Chui looked at the peerless beauty beside him. Just now, she had stood on a divine bow and put on a wonderful performance of shooting an arrow at the gate with her jade feet, perfectly interpreting what it means to be "a beauty like jade on the road, unparalleled in the world".

But now, she's starting to worry about the track surface softening.

"Don't panic, you are a warhorse girl... Warhorse girls used to endure wind and rain, and marched in the rain. According to tradition, rainy days and muddy roads are the stage for you warhorse girls to perform and show yourselves!"

"Hey...you can't say that." Fei Tu Hu Po stuck out her tongue. "I also have a phobia of rainy days, you know. A heavy rain ruined my sports dreams. Isn't it reasonable for me to have a phobia of rainy days?"

Kotobuki Toru was taken aback: "Really?"

Historically and based on experience, what Hito Kohaku said could actually happen. Throughout history, there have been no fewer than a hundred racehorse girls who suffered crushing defeats in extremely important races, or races that they only had once in their lives, and then never recovered, becoming lowly racehorse girls. This is not an isolated case.

If you slightly overcome your inner demons, you'll usually get a skill that's unfavorable to a specific racecourse environment, such as "Fuchu Racecourse Unfavorable" or "Hakodate Racecourse Severe Unfavorable." It's said that the legendary racehorse Rudolph Symbol directly gained the skill "American Racecourse Unfavorable" after a disastrous overseas expedition.

Of course, if it's just a problem with the venue, it's a minor issue that's easy to resolve. There are so many racetracks and tracks in the world, you can just register for races later and avoid those venues.

The real problem is that some kind of negative skill, like the one that makes you turn left or right, might appear. That would be a real problem.

Now, is Hitoko Amber really going to pull some kind of "three no-run" rule? No running at Shigemachi, no running on rainy days, and no running on right-turn tracks.

What warhorse girl in the world would be so delicate?

However, as a trainer, one must take any possible problems seriously. Kotobuki Toru thought for a moment and said, "Um, I remember when you were in Sapporo, you often made extra trips on rainy days, right? Did you feel uncomfortable at that time?"

"Hehehe~ No, I was just kidding." Hito Amber stuck out her tongue playfully. "For me, that physical education exam... I did my best and left no regrets. I even think that day was the best day of my life. Maybe I'll even discover some new skills that I'm good at!"

Fei Tu Hu Po still remembers her mindset back then. She already knew she wouldn't get into a sports college... That day, she had no worries or expectations at all. You could even say she ran with a bit of vengeance, thinking about being a trapeze artist or trying to hold her breath underwater for an hour.

That day, my hands trembled; that day, my heart ached. This is probably what it means to become corrupted...

So even though it rained that day, all the students' scores were only a second or two behind, while my score actually improved a lot.

Unfortunately, he still didn't pass the exam in the end.

"You scared me to death..." Kotobuki Toru patted his chest. "But just to be on the safe side, you can run it a few more times while it's raining these next few days to see if there are any problems. You'll be doing extra training with the Great Shock anyway, right? You can learn some of the techniques the seniors use to run the heavy horse track."

"You've come to the wrong person." Just as Kotobuki Toru was giving Hitoko Amber training advice and making arrangements, Super Creek and Oguri Hat, the two student council presidents, walked over together.

Super Creek's ears are quite sensitive, and it easily heard Hitoko and Kotobuki's conversation. It laughed and said, "Daikatsu is the young lady among young ladies. She is small in stature and very delicate. She may not be able to adapt well to the Shigebaba environment... On the contrary, if you, Hitoko, adapt well to Shigebaba, Daikatsu might take the initiative to pull you to train with everyone more often."

"Huh? Really? That just happens to be the time I'm planning to increase my home training."

Super Creek nodded at the spirited Amber, "It's good to be motivated, but don't add too much. It's been raining these past few days, and the racehorse girls' stall needs to be redesigned and waterproofed. The life skills department will be several times busier than usual... Little Amber, please do what you can."

"It's alright! I'm good at odd jobs, and moving things is relaxing for me!"

At this moment, Oguri Hat also took the initiative to grasp Hitotsu Amber's small hand: "By the way, Amber, the gifts for our secretariat's external publicity have been prepared... I'll leave the work of contacting various top companies to you these next few days!"

"Uh... I'm not ready for this yet!"

The second update is here!

Please please please please

Chapter 364 Why don't you two go together?

If it's just doing odd jobs, Hito Amber feels she has absolutely no problem. During this time, as a member of the Integrated Living Department, Hito Amber often uses her strength and stamina to help everyone move things or set up shelves when she has free time, making her days quite easy.

But now that Little Chestnut Hat has assigned her a task, Hitotsu Amber feels that she doesn't seem to be ready yet.

"Um, Little Chestnut Hat Senior, are you going so soon?" Hitoko Amber began to act like a daughter, twisting her index fingers together, looking both cute and conflicted.

"How can this be considered fast? The festival is still a few days away, and it's been raining these past few days, so travel won't be very convenient, and going out will be troublesome, so it will take even longer."

Looking at her junior classmate whose expression suddenly changed, Xiao Li Mao had never seen Hitoko Amber show such a shy expression when everyone was fighting for food in the cafeteria.

So, having already seen through Fei Tu Hu Po, Xiao Li Mao didn't play along with Fei Tu Hu Po's evasive tactics at all, and directly said, "Little Hu Po, all you need to do is show the same spirit you displayed when you were fighting for food, the kind of spirit that makes you defiant and fearless. That's just the kind of spirit that Central Tereson has!"

Fei Tu Hu Po gritted her teeth and shook her head like a rattle-drum, "Then I'll definitely be turned into horse meat canned goods, right?!"

"No way, everyone has to give Central Treson face!" Oguri patted Hitoko Amber's shoulder and said meaningfully, "Of course, if you're really worried about saying the wrong thing... why not bring Kotobuki trainer along too?"

"Huh?" Hitoko turned to look at Kotobuki Toru beside her, thought for a moment, and then rejected Oguri Hat on Kotobuki Toru's behalf.

"How can that be? Tou Tou is just a college student who hasn't graduated yet... Although having him come would mean one more person to help take the blame, in reality it would just mean going from one small fry to two!"

Little Chestnut Hat smiled without saying a word: "You've heard the saying 'three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang,' right, Little Amber? I believe that if the two of you go together, there will be absolutely no problem!"

"You two... are partners with a deep bond!"

Of course, Oguri Hattori didn't finish her sentence. Besides believing in the bond between Kotobuki Toru and Hitokohaku, Oguri Hattori also believed in the Kotobuki Foundation's reputation.

When Oguri Kaede invited Hitsuwa to join the secretariat, he had already given it a lot of thought—he had discussed it many times with Godotofa, the AI ​​of the three goddesses who symbolize wisdom and strategy.

In the words of this wise horse racing goddess: "Oguri Hat, you go and figure out how to win over Hirukohaku. Once you've won her over, you can gradually delegate some small tasks to her, and even the big ones! If she can't handle it, that handsome young man from the Kotobuki family will definitely step in!"

[So, by securing Hirukohaku, our secretariat has essentially secured one of the future leaders of the Kotobuki Foundation! Don't underestimate this kid just because he's only a graduate student; his organizational and business acumen far surpasses that of you little pony. As long as Kotobuki Toru can help...]

[If Kotobuki is willing to help, Oguri-chan, your workload and mine will definitely be greatly reduced! At that time, Oguri-chan, you can carefree enjoy your youth with your trainer! And I will be able to free up a lot of computing power... to happily cuddle with the ponies on campus!]

Godolphin's words truly convinced Oguri-chan... especially the part about "taking time to get closer to his trainer," which really hit Oguri-chan right in the heart!

Over the past few years, Oguri has shed blood and sweat for Central Tresson, and has worked hard for so many years.

After running races for several years, can't I at least enjoy myself? Keep sticking on the stickers, keep dancing!

So, Little Chestnut Hat went to find Hitotsu Amber and pulled her into the student council secretariat.

Now is the time for Hitotsu Kohaku to make her move. Since she has no diplomatic means, she can only rely on her beauty to seduce Kotobuki Toru.

This was already recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Diao Chan did something similar back then!

Unbeknownst to Fei Tu Hu Po, behind her back, she had been plotted against and schemed against countless times by Xiao Li Mao and the never-before-seen Gao Duo Fen Arabian.

I was simply moved by Oguri Hat's words praising the bond between herself and Kotobuki Toru...

See? Little Chestnut Hat is saying that the friendship and bond between him and Tou Tou are unbeatable!

"I think I can..."

After speaking, Hitotsu Amber cast a glance at Kotobuki Toru, her eyes sparkling with tenderness... She didn't say anything, but just that one look in her fox-like eyes seemed to say everything. Even Diao Chan back then probably didn't have the same feeling as Hitotsu Amber!

After all, in the novel, Diao Chan is considered a chivalrous woman with ideals... while Fei Tu Hu Po, though called a chivalrous woman, is actually more like a bewitching femme fatale who can seduce men and cause their premature deaths.

Kotobuki Toru was also unable to resist such a seductive woman... After all, he had received all sorts of mental training since childhood, but he had never been taught how to resist a honey trap.

The reason is simple: Kotobuki Toru was bullied and beaten by horse girls from childhood to adulthood... to the point that for a long time, Kotobuki Toru's attitude towards women was that women are terrifying.

Thus, Kotobuki Toru's father made a wrong judgment, interpreting Kotobuki Toru's aversion to women as his son being a natural talent who devoted himself to his career and was completely uninterested in women.

But in reality, Kotobuki Toru was simply unable to get close to real women!

So, after suppressing her feelings for so many years, Kotobuki Toru finally met Hitsukohaku... Of course, Hitsukohaku wasn't exactly a normal woman either.

However, it was precisely because of various strange reasons that Hitsukohaku was able to successfully stay by Kotobuki Toru's side as a horse girl...

And so far, an inexplicable bond has formed between the two.

Seeing that Hitotsu Kohaku's phoenix-shaped, fox-like eyes were practically shooting sparks, Kotobuki Toru sighed, then confirmed, "Do you really want me to go with you?"

"Of course! You just need to help me carry the stool, carry my bag, massage my shoulders, and be my little helper!"

Fei Tu Hu Po patted her chest, the fat jiggling as she spoke, looking rather unsteady. Her voice also sounded somewhat weak.

"Of course, it would be even better if you could put in a good word for me... Or, how about I become your sidekick?"

Chapter 265 The Kotobuki Group, the Number One Conglomerate by Market Value

It's impossible for Qin Chuitou to volunteer to take command.

Having a stunningly beautiful and charming young woman like Fei Tu Hu Po by your side, serving you like a secretary, is the dream and lifelong pursuit of countless men.

However, the matter of Treson ultimately needs to be led by Racer Girl. Moreover, letting Hitoko Amber visit those big companies and exchange ideas with top professionals can really help Hitoko Amber quickly build up her confidence.

Just like in the Three Kingdoms novel... Even if all the warriors who fought against Lü Bu lost, they could at least earn the title of famous general in the end.
