Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

But given that the Three Goddesses of the Face are such wondrous beings in the world, it's not impossible that they could absorb each other's DNA to complete the Human Instrumentality Project...

Kotobuki Toru nodded in agreement with Hitoko Amber's question: "So that's just one possibility. There's an even bigger possibility that the Uma Musume has actually grown psychologically... You know yourself, Uma Musume is a very idealistic creature. Maybe after being so close, her mentality and instincts have changed."

“I think that’s very likely too!” Scarlet Amber clapped her hands, pointing earnestly to herself: “That’s exactly me!”

Kotobuki Toru paused for a moment: "But in the end, the idea that factor exchange can improve the track adaptability of racehorse girls is just a guess and a trend of big data. When it comes to individuals, it's just a matter of probability... No one can say with certainty that doing such a thing will definitely improve adaptability."

Another part is Kotobuki Toru's unspoken speculation—he has all sorts of reasons to suspect that the idea of ​​genetic inheritance is just a rumor spread by three behind-the-scenes manipulators to increase the fertility rate of horse girls.

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded: "So, factor exchange is just one possibility right now, right? No wonder the textbooks don't describe it in detail."

However, while no authoritative academic papers or journals have yet proven that this is indeed feasible and summarized the relevant patterns, there is also no evidence or data to disprove the idea that "factor exchange can improve track adaptability."

These are all objective factors. On a more subjective level, there is now increasing evidence and personal experience from Hitotsu Kohaku herself that horse girls do indeed grow because of their own state of mind and the things they experience.

Although factor inheritance isn't the most suitable approach right now, however...

"If sticking stickers can improve our mood, then let's stick them on more often!"

"Isn't this enough? We're practically inseparable during the day."

"Not enough!" Hibiki Kohaku rubbed her legs, then stretched out her hand to Kotobuki Toru: "I'm tired of walking on the sand, let's dance!"

"And then...we'll sleep together at night or something..."

Bonus chapter is here!

Please please please please

Chapter 361 TouTou, can you dance?

Kotobuki Toru hadn't had a chance to ask Hitoko Amber what kind of "sleep together" she meant by "wanting to sleep together."

Fei Tu Hu Po immediately moved closer. The girl's amber-colored fingertips wrapped around his wrist, and without saying a word, she pulled him up from the beach chair.

Kotobuki rose to her feet with the help of Hitokohaku's strength. The soft sand beneath her feet and the late spring afternoon sunlight made her unconsciously feel lazy.

Kotobuki Toru yawned: "Why do you suddenly want to dance with me?"

"Of course it's because I'm too bored by myself~" Hibiki Amber blinked her fox-like eyes, her voice trailing off in a sweet arc, "I want something more challenging and intense."

"You haven't even learned to walk properly yet, and you already want to take on a high-difficulty challenge?"

As Hitotsu Amber tiptoed through the fine sand in her high heels, her eyes flashed with a hint of provocation and smugness: "You can adapt even faster when you're dancing. Besides Uma Musume, I'm practically a dancer... What I'm worried about now is, Tou Tou, can you dance? You can't count those ordinary school sports dances between boys and girls."

Kotobuki Toru straightened his back and looked down at Hitoko Amber: "Huh? You little rascal, are you looking down on me...?"

Ever since being bitten by Hitoko Amber last time, and failing to last more than half an hour like everyone else online... Hitoko Amber seems to despise her, exuding the pride of a victor in every way.

Including this time.

In Fei Tu Hu Po's understanding, most boys wouldn't seriously learn partner dances, since she believed that learning such dances was not only very costly, but also made it difficult to find a female partner.

As for Hitotsu Amber herself, she had absolutely no connection with dance. The only thing that could be called dance was the ballroom dance that she had to learn in middle school as a requirement of the school.

But things are different now. Hitoko Amber was trained by a renowned madam like Narcissus!

Although Fei Tu Hu Po has not participated in any professional dance ability assessments, professional critics online have already commented on her dances on the winner's stage—the basics are barely passable, but her strength lies in her spirit and beauty.

You should know that the most important things in learning dance are inspiration and charm... these are talents that cannot be learned.

Therefore, Hitokohaku now has the confidence and strength to look down on Kotobuki Toru!

"Want to learn? If you do... I can teach you!"

"I know a little bit."

But Qin Chui Tou really knows how to play it!

As Kotobuki nodded, Hitoko felt a steady force. A hand with distinct knuckles gripped her waist, carrying an undeniable sense of control. In the rules of dance, this was a signal that her partner was about to begin.

Fei Tu Hu Po let out a soft exclamation: "Eh?"

Is it a coincidence? How could Kotobuki know such a little trick in dance?

But immediately, Fei Tu Hu Po felt a broad and strong hand wrap around her waist, as if embracing her or supporting her body.

"Is a waltz considered formal?"

Fei Tu Hu Po was somewhat embarrassed, her smile burning with heat, "I guess so..."

The waltz, also known as the ballet, is one of the earliest and most widely spread duet dances in the world. It is known for its elegant and smooth three-beat rhythm and its soothing tempo suitable for all ages. If this dance doesn't count... then no other dance can.

Then Kotobuki Toru's arms around her waist gradually relaxed, just like an elegant and professional hairdresser gently reclining the chair back while washing a customer's hair, maintaining a rhythm without being offensive.

As Kotobuki Toru moved, Hitobuki Amber's slender body fell backward, like a butterfly flitting away from Kotobuki Toru.

Hitoko leaned her upper body weight on Kotobuki Toru's arm, trusting him completely, but her tone was tinged with doubt: "No... you really know how?"

Kotobuki nodded: "How could I not know? It's one of the social skills, so in order to adapt to the music for those parties... I know a little bit of waltz, tango, and foxtrot."

Since Kotobuki Toru has said so, Hito Kohaku certainly won't believe such a humble word as "a little". It is said that the business world is like a battlefield. If someone like Kotobuki Toru uses dance as a social tool, then his skills must have reached a very high level!

With Kotobuki Toru's hand guiding her, Hitoko Amber stood up again, spun around twice like a flower petal blooming, and then, somewhat resentful, gritted her teeth and took a step forward before Kotobuki Toru could guide her, "crashing" into Kotobuki Toru's arms with a hint of resentment.

"Humph……"

Hitotsu Kohaku had already planned it all out: let Kotobuki Toru experience firsthand the difference in their dancing skills, then she would utter her famous line, "Toru, you're the one who needs the most practice," and finally, she could arrogantly teach Kotobuki Toru how to dance!

The initiative should have been in my hands! But Kotobuki Toru is actually this amazing?

Hitoko Amber gritted her teeth, but haste makes waste... Wearing high heels and on the sand, Hitoko Amber seemed to be restricted, unable to perform her original dance skills and even regressing considerably.

As a result, Hitotsu Amber lost her footing and, due to the weak friction of the sand, she lost her footing and fell forward, landing in Kotobuki Toru's arms. If Kotobuki Toru hadn't caught her, she might have already been biting Kotobuki Toru's chest.

In response, Hibiki Amber erupted in impotent rage, "Wow, you! How are you so skilled? How many people have you danced with?"

"No... I used to practice with a private tutor. But when it was almost time for me to be ready for the ball and the actual test, I just ran away from home."

Kotobuki chuckled, "As for why I'm so skilled... maybe it's because you're my partner?"

Furthermore, for Kotobuki Toru, dancing is not just a form of entertainment; it's a tactic, a negotiation skill... He will give it his all regardless of his dance partner, and if his partner is Hisako, he needs to take it even more seriously.

"So you can leave it to me! Focus on practicing your skills."

The first update is here

Please please please please

Chapter 362 This is also a legend about horses jumping.

Although it was Hisako's suggestion that the two of them dance together, Hisako should have been in charge.

But at this moment, the high heels on her feet and the soft sand made this girl, who should have been a skilled dancer, appear somewhat awkward.

His footsteps were clumsy and full of mistakes. If Kotobuki Toru hadn't had time to change into beach shoes or flip-flops, his feet would have been crushed by Hitokohaku's high heels after just a few steps...

The two engaged in this exchange, using dance steps to communicate instead of words.

The high heels on Hitoko Amber's feet greatly reduced the height difference between her and Kotobuki Toru. When Hitoko Amber tilted her head back, her warm breath almost melted into Kotobuki Toru's lips. Her rose-colored lips swayed in the dance steps, seemingly close yet distant, perfectly expressing the ambiguous tension unique to the waltz.

In early Europe, waltzes were actually dances where the dancers' bodies were too close together, which was hated by conservative dancers. They even called waltzes a vulgar dance with limbs intertwined and bodies pressed together. However, as people's views became more open, people gradually began to use such dances at social balls. Eventually, this dance was promoted and became a well-known ballroom dance.

However, it is undeniable that the aesthetics of the waltz are still the kind of beauty that is full of tension and ambiguity, of being close yet distant.

There was no music or rhythm in the room, but the two people's heartbeats and each other's rhythm were the best metronome.

When Qin Chui Tou was playing, his body was steady and reliable. He held Fei Tu Hu Po's soft and delicate hand, and supported Fei Tu Hu Po's slender waist with his palm, providing Fei Tu Hu Po with reliable support at all times.

Meanwhile, Hitotsu Amber moved in sync with the rhythm of the dance, using the smooth coordination of her knees, ankles, soles, heels, toes, and so on, combined with the rise, fall, tilt, and sway of her body to drive her dance steps. The dance was undulating and continuous, with gorgeous and elegant movements. Sometimes she would spin in circles in Kototsu's arms, and sometimes her jade-like arms would hook around Kototsu's neck and lean backward, like a young girl inviting her lover to be intimate...

This scene caused the camera mounted on the lightning rod not far away to sway from side to side.

Of course, the camera itself has no soul; what has a soul is the person operating the camera…

In a networked meeting room where no outsiders could join, a number of people were going crazy.

[Meeting host Kotobuki has started recording the meeting. Participants are advised to be mindful of their words and actions.]

[Lady: Good, good, she actually jumped up... Although it's not the legendary horse leaping I wanted to see, it's still good! This roe deer hasn't moved for so long... I'm really worried she's heartbroken and depressed.]

[Gao Shangjunyi: Waaah, even Sister Jifeng hasn't found a boyfriend yet, but Amber found one first... Is it true that the smarter a woman is, the harder it is for her to find a boyfriend?]

[Kotobuki: Hey hey hey, you little ponies, you'll regret this! But Amber's progress is really fast; in just over six months, she's already grown to a presentable level.]

[Narcissus: Yes, it's done. It captures the physical debauchery and spiritual resistance of the waltz. I never expected Amber to portray such a struggling contradiction... How should I put it? It really feels like she's going through a struggle between body and soul.]

[Shinichi Kotobuki: So, did they end up doing something naughty? That's important to me...]

[Nishizaki Ryu: Hey, wait a minute, Miss, did you add the wrong person? Why am I in this group chat? But... Kotobuki, that kid's really something, he got it sorted out so quickly. I'll have to make him buy me drinks when we get back!]

[Hokkaido University welcomes you: Wow, I knew Kotobuki Toru was the best class I've ever taught! Graduation was automatic, both academically and in terms of virginity... That's great!]

[Satomi Hikari: Wow, there's such an awesome show?]

In the conference room, everyone in Japan shared their opinions, enjoying the show with a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.

However, at the very moment when she embraced Kotobuki Toru, the atmosphere on the beach suddenly changed. The rhythmic movements between Hitobuki Kohaku's knees did not stop, but her golden pupils suddenly contracted.

Several outstanding female racehorses were the first to react; even through the camera lens, they felt a storm approaching...

[Satomi Hikari: Uh, did I get into a flow state while jumping around? Should I go and attack my trainer? But... maybe buying a little electric toy would be okay?]

[Gao Shangjunyi: Currently learning frame by frame...]

[Lady: This flow state feels really special.]

[Kotobuki: You horse girls, can you even sense things through the camera? While flow state is said to be subjective, is it really that mystical?]

But the next moment, Fei Tu Hu Po in the camera suddenly raised her eyes, and deep yet bright golden threads flowed in her pupils. Time seemed to slow down instantly, and everyone could see Fei Tu Hu Po's gaze focus. Then, she looked at the camera.

His eyes held a mixture of inquiry and doubt.

[Kotobuki: Waaah, I take back what I just said! I was wrong, Uma Musume is really something else, is this some kind of Newtype intuition? The camera is hanging so high, how could she still notice it?]

[Lady: That's the horse girl who could shoot an arrow at the gate... Don't underestimate her eyesight, but to have such sensory abilities in a flow state?]

[Gao Shangjunyi: You can't see me, you can't see me...]

[Shinichi Kotobuki: Don't panic. If asked, just say it was Narcissus who installed the camera, and we know nothing about it!]

Narcissus: How dare you make me, a weak woman, take the blame?

In the hastily formed chat group, everyone has already started looking for scapegoats and trying to shift the blame.

On the beach, Amber's dance and the joy in her eyes continued unabated...

Hitoko Amber feels great right now, like she was all-knowing and all-powerful during the previous Japanese derby, able to control everything.

But it's not just that...

Her body was still operating at 100% efficiency under her control, but at the same time, she felt a sense of liberation, as if her soul had left her body. Everything around her was entering her senses. To exaggerate a bit, Hito Amber felt as if she were looking down on the entire battlefield from the sky.

Flow is the near-perfect control over one's own body, so what is this feeling of being able to sense everything...?

Fei Tu Hu Po hasn't figured it out yet.

But amidst this mysterious feeling, she directly experienced an inexplicable sense of being watched.

When she turned her gaze back, Hitotsu Amber saw a small, dark piece of machinery hanging on an overhead structure...

"What is that?"

The second update is here!

Please please please please

Perhaps there will be a third bonus chapter?

Chapter 363 I Want to Be On Top! (Bounty 27)

"What's that? Is it a lightning rod?"

Kotobuki Toru tilted his head back, following Hitoko Amber's gaze. Human eyesight is ultimately no match for the keenness of a racehorse girl; to him, the lightning rod was nothing more than a long, dark shadow, slanting towards the gloomy New York sky.

They were currently on the artificial beach atop the building, the tallest building in New York City... Of course, if the World Trade Center hadn't been hit by planes, it would only be the third tallest.
