Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

But Fei Tu Hu Po had no idea how to give instructions; all she knew was that the competition was about to begin!

The commentators babbling on in a language you can't understand is one of the drawbacks of watching a live broadcast; not being able to understand the commentators is like being deaf.

However, Hitotsu Amber could see that Justice in the arena was dressed in a cowboy outfit, with a crisp leather jacket wrapped around his narrow waist, and his pointed riding boots splashing gold light as they tapped the steps. His profile, visible under his folded cowboy hat, was sharply defined, giving him the look of a Western cowboy.

As Justice ascended the platform, the voices from the audience gradually rose, and the color of the Scarlet Amber gradually warmed.

Finally, Hitotsu Amber gritted her teeth and said, "TouTou, please put the earplugs on for me..."

Although it takes a lot of mental preparation to put them on and take them off, I, Hitoko Amber, have worn earplugs for a short while now. To be fair, the quality and effect of these professionally designed earplugs for horse girls are truly top-notch. After putting them on, the noise level instantly dropped significantly.

If I've already reached this level with just one earbud, and then I plug in another one to make it a second earbud, wouldn't I be able to withstand the dragon's roar like in the Monster Hunter game?

Kotobuki Toru looked at Hisako Amber as if to confirm, and asked, "I did exactly as you asked this time, you're not going to punch me or kick me, are you?"

"No!" Hitotsu Amber gritted her teeth, nuzzling her head against Kotobuki's chest like a kitten. "No matter what happens! I will hold on! I'm a dog if I can't hold on!"

"Hey!" Kotobuki Toru patted Hitoko Amber's head. "Alright, alright... You were still threatening to turn into a puppy, how many times have you done that already?"

But since Hitsukohaku has said she'll persevere, Kotobuki Toru wants to see how determined Hitsukohaku is...

So Kotobuki Toru once again lifted Hitokohaku's ear and aimed the earplug at her ear canal. This time, Kotobuki Toru learned from his previous experience and moved much more gently when inserting the earplug, allowing it to spiral along the ear canal and giving Hitokohaku a lot of time to adjust.

And Hitotsu Amber was indeed very tough, she didn't utter a sound, but like a plush toy that had been turned on, her whole body hair was trembling slightly. If Kotobuki were to part the thick hair on Hitotsu's ears, one could see that the capillaries on the girl's ears were trembling slightly as if they were on fire.

"That's great," Kotobuki Toru praised Hitoko Amber.

Fei Tu Hu Po chuckled lightly: "A promise is a promise!"

Then Kotobuki Toru thought for a moment, then pulled the earbuds, which were already mostly inserted, out a few centimeters, then pushed them back in, and finally pulled them out again, just like the pistons of an engine turning...

And the Scarlet Amber, as if a tractor engine had started, began to shake in place...

After repeating this a few times, Fei Tu Hu Po exploded: "Tou Tou, you... do you want to die? I didn't even say anything, and you're already playing around?"

Kotobuki cleared his throat lightly: "Ahem, I just wanted to see how firm your will was. And looking at it this way, it is indeed quite firm."

"I'm firm... but my panties might not be so firm."

"Huh? What?"

"Nothing! Hurry up, you!"

Since Hitotsu Amber had already given her golden decree, Kotobuki Toru naturally couldn't do anything reckless, like teasing Hitotsu Amber's ears. So, he slowly but effectively stuffed both earplugs into Hitotsu Amber's ears.

Everything was over. Fei Tu Hu Po twitched her ears, a satisfied smile on her face: "That's good, the sound is much quieter now!"

"Then how do we speak?"

"I can barely hear a little bit, and judging from your lip movements, it's fine!"

With the noise issue resolved, Amber was finally able to truly enjoy the Belgian Championship.

The noblewoman sitting next to Fei Tu Hu Po clearly rarely participated in such crowded events. As a noblewoman, even when sitting in the stands, she was extremely refined, bringing everything from air humidifiers and portable trash bags to disinfecting wipes to clean the chairs, as if she were watching the Empress Dowager leave the palace.

Gao Shangjun sat upright in the chair, sandwiched between Jifeng and Qiangji, like a stiff stone, staring straight ahead, it was hard to tell whether she was alive or dead... But judging from the fact that Qiangji had started drawing faces on her face, she must have been disconnected due to a network outage.

Further ahead of Kotobuki Toru and Hitomi Kohaku, the Golden Ship had already started to go crazy. Sitting in his chair, he grabbed an umbrella and used it as an oar, starting to ramble around, pretending to be a seasoned captain who sails the seas. He started with "how are you," looking like he had only brought an elementary school English book with him when he set sail...

With a conflicted expression, Nishizaki Ryu couldn't keep up with Golden Ship's thought process. In order not to be mistaken by the other spectators for a trainer with abnormal intelligence, Nishizaki Ryu exchanged a glance with Kotobuki Toru and then scrambled over the seats in the arena to run over and take the initiative to shake hands with Kotobuki Toru.

"Kotobuki, I'll watch the game with you guys."

"Sure, welcome! Where's Kitahara-san? Should we call him over too?"

Nishizaki Ryu shrugged: "I can't get him to come over. Little Chestnut Hat is already sitting on his lap. He glares at anyone who gets close."

"All right……"

By this time, the female horses had entered the track, and the advertisements from various companies on the track gradually faded away, replaced by official track information.

Belgium Championship, dirt track, 1 1/3 mile (1900 meters), turn right clockwise.

A distance of 1900 meters is considered quite rare even on a global scale.

As a professional horse racing girl, Hitoko Amber could understand the track information, but she couldn't understand the commentator's voice.

Kotobuki Toru also noticed this, so he took the initiative to whisper in Hitoko Amber's ear to explain, "There are just too few 1900-meter tracks, and the timing of the American Triple Crown is too tight. After the Kentucky Derby, the Belgian Championship will be held in two to three weeks. There's no time to prepare, so the racehorses participating in this race won't have much time for special training."

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded understandingly: "Oh, about twenty days. Justice actually had time to play ranked matches and even managed to film an endorsement for an automatic rifle. That's quite impressive."

Ryu Nishizaki nodded in agreement with Hitoko Amber's statement. His phone looked like it was pointed at the racetrack, but he was actually using the zoom function of the phone's camera to examine the long legs of the racehorse girls in the front row and on the track.

"Those legs are really nice! Compared to the muddy field, they look even whiter! I'm rooting for this racehorse in fishnet stockings! The flesh peeking out from under those stockings is just amazing! Best of the best!"

As he spoke, Nishizaki Ryu made a gesture of pinching in mid-air with his palm. Even though Hito Kohaku was wearing earplugs and couldn't hear what Nishizaki Ryu was saying, you could tell from his gesture that he had already started to fantasize about the feeling of pinching Uma Musume's thigh!

However, Hitotsu Kohaku was still very curious about what kind of obscene things Nishizaki Ryu would say, so she nudged Kotobuki Toru next to her with her elbow and asked, "What is he saying?"

The zither played out the truth.

After listening, Hitotsu Amber looked on with utter disgust, "Do trainers always bend over like this when they watch a match from the stands?"

"You know that Nishizaki has a rather unique personality... Do you believe that he'll go and touch that American racehorse girl's leg in a little while?"

Hitotsu Amber was very worried, "The female racehorses here in America are really violent, he'll get beaten up, won't he?"

"Anyway, he's already mastered the armor. He's gotten used to the flying kicks from Japanese girls, so he'll have to try the American ones next."

Kotobuki Toru waved her hand, indicating that Hitokohaku didn't need to be so surprised, and then said, "Besides, Nishizaki is really amazing. He can assess a horse girl's level just by looking at her legs. Actually, I'm quite optimistic about this horse girl too..."

Although the racehorse girls on the field were not her competitors, Hito Kohaku still felt a little jealous when she heard that Kotobuki Toru had a favorite racehorse girl.

"Huh? You like fishnet stockings? But judging from my experience and intuition... shouldn't you prefer those semi-sheer or slightly sheer black and white long stockings?"

Hitoko Amber really understands men... especially when it comes to male sexual desires. Hitoko Amber has a lot of natural advantages, so she has already figured out Kotobuki Toru's preferences by asking him for his opinion on clothes to wear when he goes out.

Because of her excellent upbringing and her relatively ascetic lifestyle during her youth, Toru Kotobuki is the kind of person who tends to be quite repressed...

Compared to fishnet stockings, which are obviously full of allure and suggestion and directly explain what desire is, Kotobuki Toru actually prefers stockings and pantyhose that provide some coverage, with a layer of skin but slightly sheer, which is exactly the feeling of wanting to resist yet welcome...

"cough."

Hitotsu Kohaku immediately exposed Kotobuki Toru's XP system, leaving Kotobuki Toru completely embarrassed. If Nishizaki Ryu's attention hadn't been completely drawn to the racehorse girls in front of him, Kotobuki Toru would probably have already started looking for a place to jump off.

However, looking at it from another angle, if Hitokohaku figured out his/her own preferences, he/she could save himself/her a lot of unnecessary trouble. At least in the future, when he/she makes a request, Hitokohaku wouldn't accuse him/her of anything...

But seeing that Hitoko's gaze was becoming increasingly aggressive and hostile, Kotobuki Toru immediately explained, "But my judgment of a racehorse girl's strength has nothing to do with whether or not she wears fishnet stockings!"

Fei Tu Hu Po raised an eyebrow and pressed on, asking, "So, what did you rely on to make that judgment?"

Kotobuki Toru stroked his chin. "Although I don't have as much experience touching legs as Nishizaki Ryu-senpai, there are actually many details that can be used to deduce a racehorse's strength, besides the racehorse's legs. For example, this racehorse wearing fishnet stockings named 'Skipping' has a very good track record in the past, which means that she is very strong and performs very consistently. Even now, standing in front of the gate, her expression has not changed at all. She is very steady."

Ryu Nishizaki put down his phone and sighed, "If no other female racehorse had emerged as a dark horse, the champion of this Belgian Stakes would probably have been decided between Justice and Swagger. It's a pity that the female racehorse named Flight was sick and didn't participate, otherwise the race could have been even more exciting."

The two trainers spoke like professional commentators, each offering their own commentary, and the other could always respond to what the other said. Moreover, their opinions and views were surprisingly consistent, leaving Fei Tu Hu Po completely convinced.

I never imagined Kotobuki Toru would grow so much; now she stands right next to Nishizaki Ryu, a legendary trainer...

As the commentator's voice faded, a three-second countdown began to appear in the sky to signal the start of the Belgian Championship. The starting gates were lowered, and the championship officially began.

Both the trainers and the horse girls present could see that the contestants participating in today's competition were in perfect condition. In particular, the horse girl "Bluffy," who was favored by Kotobuki Toru and Nishizaki Ryuza before the competition, had extremely perfect coordination and control of her steps, and her steps were crisp and clean, like striking piano keys.

Even Amber couldn't help but applaud this horse girl: "Wow, she's really strong..."

Despite her name being "bluffing," this horse girl's strength is beyond doubt.

Justice was no less impressive. He was in excellent form today and was completely unafraid of the bluff. He gritted his teeth and charged forward to fight the bluffer.

The second update and the bonus chapter are presented together.

Sorry for the wait!

Please please please please

Chapter 374 Two Crowns VS Two Crowns (Two-in-One)

After all, this is the second championship venue, and the weather today is not unusual at all, with a gentle breeze, bright sunshine, and clear skies.

Such weather did not give the female racehorses present many opportunities to perform tricks or use extreme tactics.

Therefore, the tactics employed by the female racehorses on the field are all steady and methodical, aiming for continuous and exhilarating action, using the most primal clashes of power to interpret the cruel aesthetics of competition:

The trembling of muscles as shoulders and necks collided, the dangerous ripples of the chest's curves as they pushed and shoved, and the sweat droplets splashing down the chin onto the hollow of the opponent's collarbone—it possessed a more sensual quality than the subtle competition of Japanese horse racing…

The roar from the stands was enough to lift the dome, and the cheers of the bloodthirsty audience were enough to penetrate noise-canceling earplugs and reach Hitotsu Amber's eardrums. Just for the sake of this incredibly lively cheering, Hitotsu Amber wanted to give up thinking and just watch the beautiful girls tearing each other apart in peace...

However, Kotobuki Toru did not let Hitoko watch the game happily without thinking about anything, as Hitoko had signed up for the upcoming Bemon Championship. Everyone else could relax and watch, but Hitoko could not.

The two of them came to scout out the enemy's situation!

So Kotobuki Toru grabbed Hitsuko Amber by the rabbit's ear and began to speak: "European and American racehorse girls are more aggressive in their physical confrontations and skill exchanges than those in Japan, so what kind of tactics should be used against such racehorses? Hitsuko, please answer."

Fei Tu Hu Po froze, looking just like a student who had been called on in class and was lost in thought.

However, since the two were already quite familiar with each other, Hitotsu Amber grinned and her ear tips twitched nervously under her fingertips, trying to get away with being cute and charming: "Eh? There's even a teacher-student segment... If I can't answer, will there be any private tutoring or training sessions at night?"

Kotobuki Toru gave Hitoko a sharp tap on the head, both loving and hating Hitoko's brain full of yellow nonsense. "Yes, memorize 300 words! No sleeping or midnight snacks until you've memorized them!"

"Um, well, let's forget about it then." Fei Tu Hu Po rubbed her head: her straightforward superhuman brain quickly came up with an answer: "Kill! Kill! Kill! Whoever dares to touch me, I'll kill them all! Let's see who the final winner is!"

Kotobuki nodded. Hisakohaku's answer was exactly what he expected. Of course, Hisakohaku's answer was also correct. After all, in America, everyone has been elbowing each other for so many years. In the end, the answer to elbowing is to keep elbowing. It's simple, effective, and the audience loves to watch.

Ryu Nishizaki, who was standing nearby, also heard Hitoko Amber's answer. As one of the trainers, he couldn't help but share his opinion, making a crisp sound as he twirled the lollipop between his teeth. "What Kotobuki just said is the American approach. For Asian racehorses, we have our own arrangements when they run on European and American tracks."

"Huh? There's such a saying?"

"some."

Nishizaki Ryu, chewing on a lollipop, answered seriously. Although back in Teresa, Japan, Nishizaki Ryu's Spica and Kotobuki Toru's Regulus were rivals.

But those were all matters within the academy. Now that we've left Japan and come to America, we all have to stand together against outsiders... Even before we came, the academy leaders said that the most important thing this time is the Hitotsu Amber competition, and everyone should try their best to help if they can.

"Well, because of their physique and habitual running style, we don't recommend that racehorses engage in direct confrontations. We generally suggest choosing the escape running style and just running!"

When people joke online, they often say that female racehorses in Europe and America are like tanks and armored vehicles, while female racehorses in Asia are like delicate supercars. So, extending this analogy, when a supercar encounters a tank... the best approach isn't to try and fight it out, but to simply use its superior speed to leave others far behind and get far away.

This is the optimal track solution devised by the Japanese side for the racehorse girls on their expedition.

Hitoko Amber nodded repeatedly, finding it very helpful. "The Japanese people really love to study things... But despite all that research, it seems like none of the horse girls have achieved particularly outstanding results yet."

Kitahara Yutaka was hit where it hurt, and he was on the verge of tears. "Wow, that's because there were too few racehorse girls on the expedition, so they didn't play a role in the tactics, not because of the tactics themselves."

"So for this year's Belmont Stakes, I'll still choose the escape route as the better option?"

Nishizaki Ryu pointed to Tojo Hana, who was sitting in the front row looking at documents and holding a coffee, and said, "Of course, it's not just me, Trainer Tojo thinks so... but in the end, it's up to you and Kotobuki to make the decision."

“Running away from the horse won’t be a problem.” Kotobuki Toru nodded. “Even if I were to give advice, my thoughts would be similar to those of Nishizaki Ryu and Tojo Hana. Even though the race hasn’t started yet, I think Kohaku, you have a huge advantage. The advantage is yours!”

Fei Tu Hu Po gave a wry smile. "Why does this sound so ominous to me? Usually, when someone says they have a huge advantage, something bad happens later on, right?"

Kotobuki Toru pointed at the horse girls running on the track, "Look, this is the second Triple Crown. Although the horse girls on the track are very strong, they are still a step below the Golden Masters you encountered before. You beat the Golden Masters, so what chance do these foals have?"

Hitoko was quite surprised. She was happy that Kotobuki Toru praised her, but she didn't expect Kotobuki Toru to have such a high opinion of the Gold Master.

"Is the Golden Master really that powerful?"

Trainer Nishizaki Ryu patted his chest and said, "Of course it's very strong. After all, it's the horse girl I've been eyeing... If it weren't for Amber, I think Golden Master would have performed poorly. It just goes to show that the three goddesses really know how to balance the version of horse girls. They created Golden Master, and then they even created Hito Amber."

"Hehehe, you flatter me!"

Hitotsu Amber tilted her head and grinned foolishly, but upon closer reflection, the Golden Master was indeed ridiculously strong. A massive Japanese derby had been reduced to a singles match between the two of them. If she hadn't entered a state of flow, the outcome would have been hard to predict.

But now, as a two-time Japanese champion, Hitoko Amber certainly has the confidence and qualifications to stand tall in the stands, watching these equestrian girls compete for the second title of the American Triple Crown, and then face off against the strongest among them for the third title.

Thinking about this, Fei Tu Hu Po suddenly felt like she was the great demon king in an anime or novel, waiting for everyone to overcome obstacles and finally challenge her.

To be more specific, it feels like Lu Bu suddenly appeared at Hulao Pass, and you can't advance unless you're attacked, except this Hulao Pass belongs to someone else...

On the field, Justice seemed to casually tilt his head slightly and glance at the surrounding viewing stage. The fighting spirit in his eyes lingered and spread like mist. A certain hidden resonance vibrated in the air. It was a greeting between hunters—either you die or I live.

"Hibiko Amber... just you wait, after defeating the bluff, you'll be next!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Justice's speed suddenly increased. She activated a linear acceleration skill, her hair trailing out in a dazzling arc, and the stage lights shone on her. Acceleration, recovery, and restraint skills were activated all at once... making a grand and imposing sight.

On stage, Kotobuki Toru stroked his chin thoughtfully: "It seems that Justice has been holding back. So far, he's only used those common techniques..."

"Is it possible that she doesn't know any unique skills at all?" Fei Tu Hu Po tilted her head. "For example, I haven't learned any unique skills yet either."

"But didn't you say you'd already figured something out and that you'd definitely make new discoveries before the match starts?"

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded: "Hmm...yes, if I can really figure it out, then I'll only get the exclusive skill when I'm running my third championship."

"You've started installing it, right?"
