Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Of course, Shinichi Kotobuki didn't completely block everyone's path. He even offered some advice: ask Hitsukohaku about her love life, especially how she views her trainer, whether she has any extra feelings for him, what her future children will be named, and so on. Ask more questions like these, and you'll enjoy watching.

It's almost as if they're saying there'll be a huge reward for whoever finds the answer.

Shinichi Kotobuki's earnest, reasonable, and even affectionate letter directly convinced most of the reasonable reporters.

After all, everyone wants to see where these two go next and what their future development will be. The more achievements Kotobuki Toru makes while hiding his identity, the more shocking the news releases will be.

Of course, there are reasonable people, and there are also those who are not so reasonable... But the less reasonable reporter will encounter a scarred uncle with Guan Gong tattooed on his body coming to his door to sell something at night.

Regardless of whether people needed it or not, they started pushing cement with buckets in hand... claiming it was the latest 42-grade cement, not only suitable for mixing pasta, but also for mixing pork, lamb, and other kinds of meat...

Now everyone behaved themselves. Since the other person didn't want to talk about it, they let it go... They just played the zither until they were completely worn out and acted like ordinary people.

However, since it's okay to ask about relationship issues freely, everyone didn't hold back, after all, who the beautiful girl will end up with is also one of the questions that everyone cares about.

"Hitotsu Amber, after spending so much time with your trainer, do you have any new thoughts about him?"

"A new perspective? It's about trusting my trainer even more; we're the best partners."

"So, Ms. Hito, according to our investigation, the relationship between you and Kotobuki trainer seems to be at level B. Have you considered upgrading your relationship to level A, where you can take full responsibility?"

"Um... not for now. My trainer is currently working on his graduation thesis, and I don't want to distract him with anything else."

"So, Hitotsu-kun, from what we understand, Kotobuki Trainer doesn't have a boyfriend or get married yet, which is why she has a lot of time to train you... But trainers are human too. What if Kotobuki Trainer finds a boyfriend she likes? Will your training performance fluctuate?"

"I refuse to answer that question!"

Between the questions and answers, Fei Tu Hu Po on stage was completely exhausted... Why are these reporters only focusing on her relationship?!

As for her true feelings, Hitoko had already begun to face them and think about them a long time ago... but now the more important thing is to win the G1 level match.

Those intuitions I've always had... and some guesses, I still don't have the courage to touch upon them.

Maybe after a G1-level tournament, I'll have the courage?

Hitotsu Amber... still thinks she should try to escape if she can.

Chapter 296 Reason and Instinct Both Become Racehorse Girls

As soon as the interview with Hitoko Amber, the top seed, ended, the other racehorse girls took to the stage one after another.

Treson Academy, especially Central Treson, holds a dominant position in the field of breeding top-tier racehorse girls.

Previously, in the G2 races, Hitokohaku could encounter many racehorse girls from other schools, but in the G1-level Satsuki Sho, the situation was very different.

Hito Amber felt like she was encountering familiar faces from Central Tereson: Golden Ship, High-class Junyi, Satomi Hikari... they were everywhere. Even if there were some horse girls she wasn't very familiar with, she could find out by checking their online encyclopedias on her phone that they all came from Tereson Academy all over Japan.

Watching Kozuki Satomi politely accept the interview on stage with a gentle smile, Hito Amber couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of her heart, "The Japanese Treson is truly amazing!"

"Actually, it's similar abroad; Treson basically holds a monopoly..."

The noblewoman who came to watch the press conference for the Satsuki Sho stood next to Hitokohaku and said, "Of course, there's something even more powerful... that's the Kotobuki Group. They basically monopolize the installation of AR enhancement equipment on racetracks all over the world, and the school uniforms for Treisen, and the vast majority of the final outfits for the racehorses, are also from their company... Now you know why I don't dare to mess with your teacher, right?"

"Don't dare to mess with the teacher? Don't dare to breathe on rich people? That means you still have a weakness... Like me, I have no family and no money, that's true invincibility, that's how Batman was back then... As long as you can be like me."

The noblewoman was speechless: "Who wants to be like you? But speaking of which, your final outfit... it really steals the show."

"Hehe, right?" Hito Amber stuck out her tongue and tossed her hair: "Based on Narcissus's suggestion... it would be best to tie this hair up on the day of the match, in pigtails or something... it would look even prettier if you showed your back too."

The lady clapped her hands in approval: "That's really great... When you were giving your speech on stage just now, Kotobuki Toru didn't even blink... His eyes were full of excitement and satisfaction. Was it because your winning outfit was so beautiful that it captivated him?"

"I think it might be because I didn't read from a script for this interview... I just answered whatever came to mind, and TouTou thinks I've grown..."

The wealthy woman scoffed: "Being able to give interviews independently counts as growth? Do you think all racehorse girls are like you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Shangjunyi walked onto the stage.

"Miss Gao Shangjunyi, please introduce yourself?"

"..."

"Miss Gao Shangjunyi?"

"..."

The number of people attending the press conference and the reporters covering the G1 level match was on a completely different scale compared to the previous G2 match. After Gao Shangjunyi stepped onto the stage, he was completely stunned... his face was flushed, and he looked like his CPU was about to burn out.

The lady was completely unprepared for the slap in the face that came so quickly. She hadn't expected that Gao Shangjunyi, a socially awkward person who was too shy to speak on stage, would come up right after she finished speaking. Having been roommates for so long, the lady knew that getting Gao Shangjunyi to cheer up under the watchful eyes of so many people would be even more difficult than winning the G1 tournament.

Scarlet Amber took the initiative to ease the lady's embarrassment, saying, "Um, actually, Little Hat's final outfit is quite nice..."

Although he had already received the design sketches of the final outfit from Qiangji, the visual effect of wearing the outfit was quite different—a close-fitting modified sailor suit with neat hot pants on the lower body, white running shoes with calf socks, and a sky-blue multi-layered cape that looked like a flower bud on the back. Everything was very low-key and perfectly matched Gao Shangjunyi's socially awkward personality.

"Little Hat looks so good in that outfit, so cute..."

But the lady didn't focus all her attention on Gao Shangjunyi. Unwilling to admit defeat, she still wanted to prove her theory: "Xiao Mao has psychological problems... she's not a normal horse girl. Look at the other horse girls, they can all be interviewed on their own!"

At this moment, the host of the press conference spoke on stage: "Um, Gao Shangjunyi may not be in good condition, so let's ask her to go down and rest for a while... Next contestant, Golden Ship!"

"Alright! Here it comes! Watch me pull this on! Damn! Let's go! Let's fool them!"

Golden Boat entered the stage with a backflip, and then, ignoring the questions from the reporters below, immediately began to demonstrate his skills in breaking bricks and shattering tiles.

The lady couldn't hold back any longer... She never expected that a press conference for the Satsuki Prize could bring together so many extraordinary people.

"Sigh, let's talk about your race instead..." The lady glanced at the running shoes on Hitotsu Amber's feet: "Now that the cast is off, are you feeling any psychological trauma? I remember Kotobuki Toru said something about you having paranoia or something."

"That's not paranoia." Hitoko Amber kicked her feet twice in self-defense. "Besides... I've come to terms with it now. I trust the doctor's judgment, and I trust Ma-niang's strong body!"

The lady sat up straight: "So, your poor right-turning skill?"

Fei Tu Hu Po shakily puffed out her chest: "It's solved! I don't have to walk around with a cast on for more than a week."

"More than a week? Didn't the doctor from the Kotobuki Foundation say it would be at most a week?"

"Just to be on the safe side, I stayed a few more days."

The lady looked regretful. "I was thinking that after crushing Jifeng in this match, I'd take advantage of your poor right turn in the next Japanese derby and crush you too!"

"Wow, what a vicious woman..."

The noblewoman paid no attention to how Amber described her, and said indifferently, "The rivalry between horse girls has always been like this."

"But will you still come to the Japanese derby?"

"No way! Given the current situation, the Japanese derby horses are practically fighting themselves to death... I'd rather stick to my three-peat. As for you, Fat Rabbit, since your goal is to achieve a triple crown anyway, why don't you just give up on the Japanese derby and come run the Oaks Race instead!"

In that case, the lady can use her extensive experience in mid-range races to defeat Hibiki Amber on her home turf!

"No... The Oaks Race doesn't sound good, it lacks grandeur, it's not as good as the Japanese Derby."

"Is that all there is to it?"

"correct."

"The Autumn Blossom Appreciation at the end of the year, isn't that a nicer name than the Chrysanthemum Appreciation? I'll be waiting for you at the Autumn Blossom Appreciation competition..."

"I will think about it."

"Don't lose!"

"Hmph, no way, right now... as a racehorse girl, I am unparalleled!"

In late April, Zhongshan Racecourse hosted the Satsuki Sho race day.

The spring rain continued, and the entire stadium was filled with a damp smell.

In the lounge, Hitotsu Amber was looking at the continuous rain on the field and muttered to herself, "The last time I had such an important run in the rain was during my physical fitness test."

That rainstorm felt like the last time I, as a human being, would run.

And this time... Hito Kohaku hopes that both her reason and instincts will make her run for the first time since Uma Musume!

The second update is here!

Chapter 297 I am who I am, the peerless Scarlet Amber (Three-in-one bounty 17)

Walking through the racecourse entrance tunnel at Zhongshan Racecourse, thanks to the loudspeakers scattered throughout the tunnel, Hito Amber could clearly hear the commentators introducing the racehorses and the cheers of the audience.

Despite the rain, tickets for the Satsuki Sho competition were still in high demand and short supply. Tourists from all over the world, who came to admire the cherry blossoms, naturally wouldn't miss this prestigious competition, one of Japan's three major awards.

Moreover, according to the trending topics on social media before the competition, a considerable number of these tourists actually did not know anything about horse racers.

Most of these people were captivated by the recent video of Hitotsu Kohaku shooting arrows with her feet, or by her stunning winning outfit at the press conference, and couldn't help but buy tickets to witness the beautiful racehorse girl's performance live.

Thanks to these fans, Fei Tu Hu Po has not done any promotional activities to boost her popularity, nor has she asked viewers to like, comment, or favorite her videos.

But at this Satsuki Sho, Hitokohaku actually managed to win the title of most popular!

As the most popular and a strong favorite to win, Hitoko Amber received exceptionally high treatment. Normally, a simple introduction of her name, past performance, and main racing style would suffice...

But when Amber entered the arena, the commentator took a deep breath, a sound so loud it could be heard through the microphone:

[First up is a Takarazuka-level beauty, the winner of the Yayoi Prize, a powerful archer who shoots arrows with her feet, and currently an undefeated enchantress aiming for the triple crown—Himekohaku!]

[As one of the dark horses in this year's championship race, Hitokohaku has already won a match with an absolute advantage in the Yayoi Sho, which is of the same scale and distance!]

Unfortunately, the weather hasn't cooperated; it's been raining for a long time recently. Therefore, this Satsuki Sho race will be held in a Jobaba environment, preventing Hitoko Kohaku from easily replicating her previous victory.

The commentator's voice was incredibly excited, so much so that it could even drown out the sound of the rain. The worse the weather, the more powerful the commentary needed.

As the narrator introduced the topic, the audience widened their eyes and raised their cameras.

A crimson figure walked out of the players' entrance tunnel.

The spring rain continues.

Accompanied by the silvery spring rain, Fei Tu Hu Po, wrapped in her wet victory dress, made her graceful entrance with the light and leisurely steps of a courtesan.

The LED screen in the arena, responsible for broadcasting the scene, suddenly zoomed in and gave a close-up of Hitotsu Amber. Hitotsu Amber's final outfit was already a close-fitting style, and after being soaked by the rain, it shimmered faintly with moisture. The tattered skirt could not hide the girl's extremely hot curves. Her fair skin was completely unadorned, and in this slightly chilly spring, the girl's bare face was as if she were dressed in finery.

After a brief silence, the nearly 100,000 spectators erupted in cheers that seemed to boil over. Even the most seasoned fans of horse racing had never seen such an innovative final outfit, nor had they ever seen a horse girl wear it so well.

Not to mention the newbie audience members who took advantage of the cold spring rain to buy tickets and watch the game live for the first time.

Gao Shangjunyi, who was waiting to enter from behind, couldn't help but clench his fists in envy. "In this race... the most beautiful racehorse girl must be Amber, right?"

"Being pretty isn't enough."

Satomi Hikari, standing one position behind Takasho Junichi, also peeked out, her gaze passing over Takasho Junichi's figure to look at Hisako Amber: "This is the Satsuki Sho racecourse! What we're going to decide isn't the most beautiful racehorse girl... but the fastest racehorse girl!"

The saying, "Only the fastest racehorse girl can win the Satsuki Prize," wasn't uttered by Mitsuzu Satomi just today. It was a classic saying circulating among trainers and racehorse girls long before the Triple Crown was awarded.

The fastest racehorse girl wins the Satsuki Prize, the luckiest racehorse girl wins the Japanese Derby, and the strongest racehorse girl wins the Kikuka Prize.

Leaving aside the other two races for now, this race is the 2000-meter Satsuki Sho, which is a medium-to-short distance track. Compared to the endurance of horse girls, this track tests the explosive power and sprinting ability of horse girls more... Therefore, only by being fast enough can you win the Satsuki Sho.

Of course, there is another saying in the industry that only horse girls who develop and mature "quickly" can win the Satsuki Prize.

There are all sorts of people in the world, and no two racehorse girls are exactly alike. Although everyone's age is measured in "years," the racehorse girl's best competitive time and physical peak will not follow anyone's will.

Whoever reaches their peak during the competition will have a greater advantage.

Hikari Satomi puffed out her chest: "According to the family doctor's assessment... I'm currently in my peak development period! I'm the best and fastest developing horse girl!"

Gao Shangjunyi glanced at the bulge in the chest of the girl who had been exposed to the light and nodded: "That's true... but Fei Tu's development isn't bad either, I guess she's in her peak period... so what should we do?"

"Then we can only rely on our strength and experience."

Hikari Satomi clenched his little fist under his sleeve: "I lost to Hitsuko last time, but this time! I'll win back... Which kid cries every day, and which horse lady loses every day!"

"Hey, Guangzuan, where did you hear that from?"

"I heard it from the uncles outside those pachinko parlors... They were all so full of confidence before they went in, so I wrote it down."

"Then...can I ask these people what happened afterward?"

"Looks like I've lost everything, down to my underwear. Wait a minute, did I say something I shouldn't have?"

But words spoken are like water spilled; by the time Mitsuhiro Satomi realized that what he said came from those hopeless gamblers... it was too late.

Now, it's time to enter...

In the arena, Scarlet Amber is getting used to the AR effects on the G1-level track. Not far away, an expensive AR projection device is running at full power, and the hot air blown out by the fan can even evaporate rainwater into water mist.
