Chapter 307 Interacting with Hitoko Amber using methods for interacting with girls

"Huh? Why did you take all of these out?"

"I didn't use the bathroom in the lounge, nor the Jacuzzi... so I just mooched some drinks from them."

Hitotsu Amber resealed the drink in the bag and smiled at Kotobuki Toru: "I ran into the staff just now... They said it was no problem, and thanked me for helping to clear the inventory and balance the books, and even went to the warehouse to get some more for me."

"Huh... there's actually such a saying?" Kotobuki Toru scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"Why would I lie to you?"

Fei Tu Hu Po counted on her fingers: "And lately I've seen you staying up late and drinking energy drinks a lot... I got you your favorite flavors, mostly salty. Do you think life isn't salty or bitter enough? Why do you like drinking these..."

But then I think about all the drinks in the bag, like Monster Energy and salt-based energy supplements... they're all the flavors I usually drink.

This roe deer, although its thrifty way of managing the household is questionable... it really is a person who thinks of others.

Kotobuki Toru felt a warmth in his heart, then walked over to Hitoko Amber with his umbrella and held it over Hitoko Amber's head: "It's just a matter of taste, I just like this kind of thing... but thank you anyway."

Night had fallen, and the streetlights along the venue were dimmed to a yellowish hue, barely enough to illuminate the path. Fine rain fell incessantly, reflecting a hazy, ambiguous glow under the lights, as if the whole world were shrouded in a thin veil.

Kotobuki looked around and, seeing that no one was around and the rain was drizzling, which could cover most of the conversation, hesitated for a moment before speaking: "By the way, Amber, I've also thought about it... I've thought carefully about what you said before that I only see you as a racehorse girl. The following content is purely speculation... If I'm wrong, you can just correct me."

He paused slightly, looking intently at Fei Tu Hu Po, "I think, do you want me to see you as a girl?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Hitotsu Amber did not answer immediately. However, in the dim light, Kotobuki Toru could vaguely see that her slender neck was slightly flushed, like a peach blossom in early spring, delicate and charming.

In the unspoken rules of human society, silence often signifies approval and agreement, or what is known as tacit consent.

This time, Kotobuki Toru was even more surprised. After all, the two of them usually avoided topics like "the past" or "the past" intentionally or unintentionally, and the topic of "how Hitsukohaku views herself" was something Kotobuki Toru had long since placed in the category of topics that could not be touched...

But today, Fei Tu Hu Po actually brought this issue to the forefront and even set the tone herself.

I want to be a beautiful girl, I want to be a racehorse girl completely.

In her daily life, if no one else knew the truth about Fei Tu Hu Po, she could do whatever she wanted without having to explain to anyone.

Kotobuki, who knows her inside and out, probably doesn't need Hitoko Amber to explain further...

Live however you want, do whatever you want. Uma Musume has her own life too, and there's no need to explain it to anyone.

However, Hitoko deliberately emphasized to Kotobuki Toru that she wanted Kotobuki Toru to treat her as a girl, as a racehorse girl... This is enough to show that in Hitokoko's heart, Kotobuki Toru's position is unique.

Kotobuki Toru realized this and felt a strange sensation. Looking at Hitokohaku, Kotobuki Toru felt that Hitokohaku, which was already incredibly beautiful, suddenly had an even more alluring quality.

The kind of temptation that makes you want to do bad things.

After a long silence, Hito Amber couldn't maintain her brief air of mystery and coughed twice. "Well, you don't need to think too much about it... I just feel that it's been so long now, and it's time to start living a life of unity with my horse as a racehorse girl. So just treat me like... the usual... kind of racehorse girl."

Kotobuki nodded mechanically: "Oh, oh, I understand."

That being said, girls as beautiful as Hito Kohaku are probably rare in this world, so how can they be treated like ordinary horse girls?

Hitotsu Kohaku didn't think too much about it and turned to Kotobuki Toru beside her to ask, "Speaking of which, I've already said so much. Now just treat me like any other girl. What would you do in a situation like this? Do what I would do now!"

After thinking it over carefully, Kotobuki Toru didn't say a word. He quickly put away his umbrella and ran several meters away from Hitobuki Amber as if fleeing a flood or a ferocious beast.

Hibiki Amber, drenched by the rain, exclaimed in bewilderment, "Hey, hey, hey... what are you doing?"

Kotobuki Toru also looked innocent: "When facing ordinary racehorse girls... that's exactly what I do. You know I'm very resistant to racehorse girls, so of course I'll stay as far away from them as possible."

Fei Tu Hu Po grimaced from the rain: "No wonder you're still single at your age... With your attitude, aren't you just asking for trouble? It's raining, and you're already running away?"

“Of course,” Kotobuki Toru said confidently. “Sharing an umbrella with a female horse in the rain like this would just give reporters an opportunity to fabricate a scandal… They’d probably say something like so-and-so and Kotobuki Toru have an overly close relationship.”

"Eh?"

Fei Tu Hu Po blinked, noticing something amiss: "Didn't you just hold the umbrella for me? Doesn't that affect my reputation? Aren't you worried about the media saying things like our relationship is too close?"

"But isn't that the truth? Are you only realizing it now?"

Kotobuki Toru shrugged: "We're roommates now, so compared to living and eating together, sharing an umbrella is nothing."

Fei Tu Hu Po suddenly lowered her head and murmured to herself, "Eh... I didn't expect we'd become this close."

When this way of interacting between brothers and friends was applied to the way boys and girls interact, Hito Amber realized...

Their relationship has gotten a bit too far...

Kotobuki Toru didn't hear Hitoko Amber's muttering, "What are you saying?"

Fei Tu Hu Po quickly waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing... Come here, let's just act like we usually do... But please treat me like a racehorse girl."

Kotobuki Toru then walked over to Hitoko Amber with his umbrella and took the heavy bag of drinks from her hand.

“Eh…what is this?”

“Even though you’re a horse girl, you said you’d treat me like a girl…” Kotobuki Toru said, carrying a bag in one hand and holding an umbrella in the other. “So naturally I should show some gentlemanly manners.”

"Hey, you actually know about gentlemanly manners and stuff?" Hitoko walked beside Kotobuki Toru with an amused expression. "I never noticed when you were with other girls."

"Most girls aren't good enough."

"Look how arrogant you are..."

Chapter 308 The Phone Call with Shinichi Kotobuki

Today, Hitokohaku has become famous in Funabashi City. As the winner of the Satsuki Prize, regardless of age or gender, unless one is completely asleep or living in a secluded place, Hitokohaku's figure can definitely be seen running around everywhere...

After all, even on their way back to the hotel, Kotobuki Toru and Hitokohaku were watching a loop of Hitokohaku speeding along on the giant screen in the shopping mall above them.

With such extensive publicity, Fei Tu Hu Po, dressed in her final outfit with only an overcoat, was instantly recognized wherever she went.

"Wow, that... is that Miss Hito Amber? Judging by the time... she should have just finished the winner's stage and was heading back to the hotel?"

"Hey, Miss Hitoe's hands are clearly empty, but she still goes to stay under Trainer-san's umbrella..."

"Is that the trainer next to me? She doesn't seem as good as me... If she were paired with Ms. Hito, I think I could do it too!"

The faint whispers of passersby reached Kotobuki Toru's ears, making him feel somewhat helpless: "Your outfit is still too flashy. Look at Oguri Hat and the others, they are usually so low-key when they go out... But we are wearing our final outfits and strolling around the streets."

Fei Tu Hu Po lightly lifted her chin and snorted, "Hmph? You're not happy that a beautiful girl like me is shopping with you like this?"

Kotobuki was speechless: "Um, I'd be more than happy to... but I can tell you seem very shy and embarrassed."

"Where, where is it?!"

"Your neck is all red."

"I look radiant!"

Just now, Kotobuki Toru was simply talking to Hitsukohaku about the racehorse "girl". During the exchange of words, he didn't really feel the changes in Hitsukohaku.

But once she actually walked down the street, Kotobuki Toru could already feel the difference; Hitoko now even started calling herself a "beautiful girl."

If this had happened before today, Kotobuki Toru wouldn't have dared to imagine, even in her dreams, that Hisako would say such a thing, or describe herself in such a way...

After Hitotsu Kohaku said that, Kotobuki Toru's original feeling of shopping with a friend like buddies instantly changed.

Of course, this "change in taste" is not meant in a negative sense. Just like yogurt that becomes more delicious after being fermented by yeast, although the taste changes.

I have to admit, it's actually pretty cool when your best friend turns out to be a stunningly beautiful girl and goes shopping with you after she's completely changed...

After all, everyone has similar interests and will stand in front of the shop window to look at the new sports cars inside.

From Kotobuki Toru's perspective, through the glass, one can see the new car in the shop window, and in the reflection of the glass is Hitoko Amber's longing expression, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Kotobuki Toru used to hate going shopping with Kotobuki Toru the most; she would feel like dying every time she went to a mall.

But now he understands... it's not that he hates shopping, it's that he chose the wrong people to go shopping with.

Of course... Kotobuki Toru didn't have a choice before, but if Kotobuki Toru were to choose who to go shopping with now, she would definitely choose Hitokohaku like she is now.

Besides shopping, there's also life ahead... So, can I choose Scarlet Amber too?

……

Back at the hotel, after putting down her messy things, Hitoko went to her room to take a shower, while Kotobuki Toru first called her relatives and friends to share the good news.

He first contacted his older sister and his mentor, with whom he had been spending a lot of time recently and were very familiar with each other.

In fact, the two of them didn't need Qin Chuitou to announce the good news at all.

Kotobuki had already sent Narcissus and the shopkeeper Hana to watch the match. The moment Hitobuki Kohaku won the championship, Narcissus and Hana made an international call to report the victory to Kotobuki.

The banners and materials displayed on the winner's stage for Hitoko Amber were actually prepared by the manager of the floral clothing store after Hitoko Amber's victory was confirmed on-site, and she urgently contacted Venus Sapporo to prepare them.

The current manager of Venus Sapporo store exclaimed that it was no wonder that the woman in the floral dress got a promotion and a raise...

Needless to say, Kotobuki Toru's mentor is a professional racehorse girl trainer and trainer mentor, and he never misses a single broadcast of the Triple Crown race every year.

Not only Kotobuki Toru's mentor, but all the students in the Hokkaido University Uma Musume Department temporarily suspended classes this morning and gathered in the college auditorium to watch this week's Satsuki Sho through a cinema-quality large screen.

As for the cherry blossom viewing held today, the people in Hokkaido are really not familiar with her. Who is the lady's friend?

Can she compare to Kotobuki Toru, the fellow disciple of everyone, who signed with Uma Musume?

Can it compare to the Scarlet Amber that everyone has been seeing frequently at the academy lately?

To be honest, with graduation approaching, most aspiring trainers haven't even touched a horse girl's leg yet, which is both stressful and anxiety-inducing. Meanwhile, Hitoko Amber is frequently seen at school, almost becoming everyone's ideal role model for a racehorse girl...

As a horse racing major, the department head made a request before the race even started: since Hitsuko Amber won, everyone was happy, and all three meals today would be free, paid for by the college.

If Hitokohaku loses... then everyone can skip dinner. We're all trainer reserves, so based on this Satsuki Sho match, before we eat, everyone has to submit a 3000-word match analysis and post-match reflection.

This tactic is said to have been learned from China; if you win, you can just gloss over it with a couple of strokes... but if you lose, you have to write a long story about it and constantly reflect on it.

Fortunately, Amber won beautifully, successfully saving everyone's meals and sparing them the trouble of writing reflections.

You're so amazing, amber!

After the cheers subsided, everyone went out for a joyful dinner, which lasted until evening. When Kotobuki Toru called his mentor, his mentor was already so drunk from being toasted that he didn't even know who he was...

All that's left is to chug away while saying we'll have a proper celebration when we get back.

After making those two crucial calls, Kotobuki Toru stared at his phone for a long time before finally dialing a third call.

A few seconds later, the call was connected.

Kotobuki spoke softly, "Hey, Dad, are you asleep?"

On the other end of the phone, Shinichi Kotobuki's voice was deep, but the smile in his tone was hard to hide: "Not yet, I'm replying to the congratulatory messages, all of them congratulating you on becoming a G1 horse trainer before you even graduated."

Kotobuki Toru shook his head helplessly and asked, "How did you reply to the letter?"

"I'll just reply with one sentence: 'This is nothing, just average. He needs more practice. My son will need your continued support in the future. If you see him doing something wrong, just punish him! I approve.'"

On the other end of the phone, the old scoundrel, who was always so irreverent, was practically laughing out loud. After all these years... this was the first time Kotobuki had ever heard such a boastful and ostentatious tone coming from this old guy.

Please please please please

Should there be an extra chapter?

Chapter 309 Some things need to be said sooner or later (Bounty 19)

After all, under normal circumstances, with Shinichi Kotobuki's strength, he wouldn't need to show off; he's genuinely awesome.

While Kotobuki Toru was still lost in thought, Kotobuki Shinichi continued on the other end of the phone, "Of course, those words in the reply were just humble excuses..."

"Where is the modesty in your statement?"

"It just comes out naturally... Alright, let's not pretend anymore."

Kotobuki Toru could hear the excited sound of someone slapping the table on the other end of the phone: "Toru, you're really something! You're amazing! You've actually made it this far, and it seems you've already set several trainer records. I'm so proud of you, son!"
