Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

The image of enthusiastic spectators climbing the stage flashed through Hito Amber's mind. She shook her head and said, "If there are any horse girls performing and someone is still climbing up, everyone can just kick them down! Isn't that what fighting and defending the stage is all about?"

"Yeah, this is a perfect opportunity to showcase the power of Uma Musume."

Upon hearing this, the noblewoman briefly considered the implications and then unleashed a powerful high kick. The force of the kick lifted her skirt and caused Fei Tu Hu Po's long hair to cascade down like a waterfall. Gao Shang Jun Yi, who was sitting directly in front of the noblewoman, was already blushing, as if he had been conquered by the noblewoman's kick and had become her little fangirl.

"Oh, that makes sense... So this is how American female idols interact with their audience? Gao Shang, do you think I look cool now?"

Gao Shangjunyi sat in his seat, looking up at the noblewoman on the stage at close range, his face flushed: "He is handsome, but... Dongna, you just exposed yourself."

"..."

The air froze. The noblewoman stood there for a moment, then slunk off the stage without a word.

After glancing around to make sure no one was watching, the lady blushed and complained, "See, isn't that a drawback too? With everyone so close, it's easy for someone to accidentally expose themselves..."

"Didn't everyone wear safety shorts when they went on stage?" Fei Tu Hu Po said matter-of-factly, "Actually, I think everyone could just wear safety shorts out in public...after all, they're almost down to the knees."

The lady sat down in the chair: "The problem isn't the safety shorts, it's that the idols and the audience are too close."

Kotobuki Toru, taking a neutral stance, rationally analyzed the situation: "But this is America after all, so the style here might not be like in Japan, where they're always on guard against fans."

Kotobuki Toru wasn't very knowledgeable about idols in Japan, but having lived there for so many years, he had often heard his classmates who were fans of idols mention some of the details and traditions...

Things like close contact with idols are generally absolutely forbidden unless you pay extra!

So in Japan, there's a mysterious thing called a "handshake ticket," which you have to buy an idol's album CD to enter a raffle, or you have to spend a lot of money to buy it directly.

Only after spending money and proving that you truly love your idol can you be qualified to shake their hand and say a few words, accompanied by a group of security guards...

Although it is indeed very profitable to do this, Kotobuki Toru still feels that this approach is somewhat abnormal. Idols are meant to give people dreams and joy, not to be tools for reaping money.

Gao Shangjunyi was already filled with anticipation: "But in the US, if you sit in the front row, you should have a chance to shake hands or interact with your idol, right? You might even be able to pick up a part that fell off your idol?"

Fei Tu Hu Po didn't take it seriously and waved her hand repeatedly: "What's so great about holding the hand of justice? If you want the mysterious things on justice, just tell me, and I'll go to get them for free when it's dark and windy."

"Fei Tu, you've gone astray."

"That's called 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'!"

Everyone was enjoying the lively night with laughter and chatter. Before long, all the lights in the room went out, and then, amidst a cloud of smoke and dust effects, Justice made a dazzling entrance like a cowboy from the West.

The cheers from the audience behind her pushed Hitoko Amber to her feet to applaud Justice, and Justice returned the applause to Hitoko Amber, or rather, to the audience in front of her, with the most perfect smile.

Lately, I've been tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

With the familiar "opening note" intro, even without looking at the stage projection equipment to hear the song announcement, Hito Amber could tell that Justice had chosen to sing "Counting Stars" tonight.

Although it is a classic American folk rock song, it is extremely popular. It has been a top ten hit on Japanese music charts for many years. In China, the song was even featured on the Spring Festival Gala, which was watched by hundreds of millions of people at the same time.

As the powerful drumbeats exploded, Zheng Yi delivered a near-perfect performance. Her infectious energy swept through the entire venue like an electric current, and waves of spontaneous singing echoed from the audience.

As an idol, Hitoko naturally knew how to sing this song. She didn't dislike the uplifting song, so she quietly sang along from the audience.

Her heart pounded with the rhythm, the music resonating with her soul. As Fei Tu Hu Po looked at Zheng Yi on the stage, a sense of resentment welled up in her heart. During her second championship, she had been somewhat distracted for various reasons, and she couldn't even remember what she had sung or danced. Wasn't that a waste of such a great stage?

Although I know I didn't have any motivation back then, I still feel very resentful when I think about it now...

Not being able to present the best performance or show her best self made Fei Tu Hu Po feel somewhat sorry for the audience.

If there is a next time...

I must present the best stage and create a stage that belongs only to the beautiful idol, Hitoko Amber!

Chapter 378 Tou Tou, I'm Drunk (Bounty 31)

With Justice presiding over the winner's stage, there are basically no major mistakes. In addition, Justice's stage presence is actually quite stable, and the songs he chooses to sing are all popular and catchy tunes...

In addition, since Justice herself is the kind of cool and handsome horse girl who looks like she's in a pool, the sharp screams from the girls never stopped from the moment the song started.

Hitotsu Amber even saw some female viewers wrap their hands in cling film immediately after shaking hands with Justice, as if they were preparing to protect their hands and use them later at home...

To be honest, after seeing this, Hitokohaku suddenly realized that it's not so hard to understand why many idols in Japan choose to wear gloves when shaking hands with fans...

But apart from a very few oddballs, most people still have a very high opinion of the stage where justice prevails.

"Wow, I didn't expect the purity of American horse racing girls to be so high. Although the choreography may not be as professional as that of Japan... but Zhengyi's singing style is really great. No wonder it is the country that created rock and roll."

"Hmm... I've lived for so many years, and I can say that this is the first time I've ever heard an English song sung so authentically live."

"I'm already looking forward to her third championship stage, is that something I can say?"

Amidst the discussions among the horse girls, Hito Kohaku could even hear a considerable amount of praise and support for justice from the Japanese Teresen Racehorse Girls.

Hitoko didn't blame everyone for their quick votes. After all, Seigi's level was what it was. The atmosphere, the audience, the lighting—everything was geared towards her. If people still didn't like Seigi under these circumstances, then Hitoko would really have to question their aesthetic sense and taste. After all, even she thought that when Seigi wasn't competing with herself, she was an amazing and beautiful idol.

However, I might have to disappoint my righteous little fans... I really wanted this third championship stage!

After listening to so many English songs, it's time to change things up!

With the triumphant finale of the victorious stage, today's Belgian Championship officially came to an end, and everyone busily carried their souvenirs home...

The members of the Japanese team from Treson booked an entire hotel in New York as their base for the month, so even on their way back, they were all incredibly excited, planning a thrilling pillow fight when they got back to their dorm.

The trainers, exhausted from the plane ride and a day of intense shopping with the racehorse girl, including watching a top 100 G1-level match, were all yawning non-stop... wishing they could just lie down and sleep like those homeless people you see everywhere on the streets of America.

The above content is the plan that Kotobuki Toru saw through the communication group of the staff of Teresa in Japan.

Meanwhile, Hitotsu Kohaku was sitting on a bus in Teresa, USA, with Kotobuki Toru. The horse girls on the bus were still in a state of revelry.

Today's star, the popular racehorse girl Masayoshi who won two championships, is standing at the front of the car, holding a microphone and emphasizing the important points for tonight.

No drinking vodka in the dorms, no barbecuing in the dorms, and no firing guns in celebration on campus...

Justice had just proven its strength, so its words carried considerable weight. The woman on the bus immediately said she would be mindful of personal safety during the party.

But they'll still throw parties!

"Looking at it this way, people in Japan still have a slightly more normal schedule..." Hito Amber rubbed her ears and said helplessly, "I reckon there will be a party all night long in Teresa, America today."

That's how Americans are; their biggest social activity is usually partying. I experienced this firsthand during my time living in Teresa, California. The girls always find an excuse to party all night long... The whole dorm was filled with singing, dancing, and the sound of beer bottles smashing almost every night.

If everyone's this crazy normally... today, celebrating Justice's two championships, then the whole of Teresa, America, probably won't be sleeping.

As Kotobuki Toru listened to everyone ordering cases of beer on their phones, even before returning to the academy, he could already feel the atmosphere of Crazy Saturday. Glancing at Hitoko Amber beside him, Kotobuki Toru asked, "Amber, are you going to drink with them all night tonight too?"

He wasn't worried about Hitoko's drinking capacity. Even if Justice and Freedom were added to the mix, they still couldn't outdrink Hitoko...

But his main concern was that Hitoko Amber was getting too carried away and forgot about training. After all, other female racehorses could have fun without any major plans, but Hitoko Amber did... quite a few.

Fei Tu Hu Po blinked, then reached out and tapped Hai Du Zhi Xing, who was sitting in the row in front of her: "Hai Xing Xing, what are you going to do tonight?"

Haidu Star was prepared. She immediately raised her phone and showed the order on her phone to Hitotsu Amber and Kotobuki Toru. "I booked a hotel outside... I can't handle parties in America. Things change, sis, I'm off! What about you, Amber?"

"I think I should find a place to rest too... I still have a lot to do lately."

With the groundwork laid by Haidu Star, Fei Tu Hu Po smoothly expressed her thoughts, "I'll have a couple of drinks with everyone, show my face and get to know them, and then I'll leave..."

Haidu Star gave a thumbs up: "A wise move!"

But where to retreat to... Hibiki Amber hasn't decided yet.

Then, Hitotsu Amber turned to look at Kotobuki Toru: "Toru, what are you going to do? Drink it?"

"No, I'm not drinking. These parties are basically for people to stay up until tomorrow night. I can't keep up." Kotobuki Toru shrugged. "You know, they booked a hotel in Teresa, Japan. Nishizaki Ryuya just asked if I wanted to go stay there. I haven't answered him yet..."

“Oh, oh…” Fei Tu Hu Po nodded thoughtfully.

Then the bus arrived at the station, and a large number of female racers eagerly poured out of the bus, took out their late-night snacks and drinks from the academy's takeout storage point, and started partying on the spot... Some staff members with low alcohol tolerance even started vomiting while hugging trash cans.

Seeing this, Kotobuki Toru also prepared to remind Hitoko Amber, "Your bladder has its limits. Even though you can drink a lot, you still need to remember to go to the toilet and not pee on your panties." Then he said goodbye and went to find Nishizaki Ryu.

But Hitotsu Amber stopped Kotobuki Toru and said she would wait a bit. Then she opened a bottle of rice wine at the liquor stall and went to drink with the current top Silver, Gold, and Platinum players in the rankings, saying she wanted to thank them for their care and training.

Not long after, Hitotsu Kohaku returned... and wobbled as she wrapped her arms around Kotobuki Toru's neck.

"TouTou, I feel so dizzy and nauseous. I think I'm drunk and I need someone to take care of me... I want to come to your place."

"Um, what was the alcohol content of that liquor you just drank?"

"It's over ninety degrees..."

"Where's the bottle? Let me see it?"

"Throw it away..."

Chapter 379 Rooms Full

"Um, so you mean that because Amber got drunk and wouldn't let go of you... that's why you all came over together?"

In the lobby of the large hotel that the Japanese hotel Treson had booked, Nishizaki Ryu was looking at Kotobuki Toru and Hitoko Amber with suspicion, trying to find some clues in their expressions.

Of course, there's no need to deliberately look at their faces to find any flaws. The reason they just explained is actually the biggest point of doubt—how could Hitoko Amber get drunk so easily? Or even, could Hitoko Amber really get drunk?

You see, at the recent Central Teresa College festival, when those famous companies were exchanging information and sharing updates, the most frequently asked question was, "Has anyone in your company seen Hitsu Amber drunk?" Everyone was so interested in this that they eventually created a group chat, ready to use their top company HR and PR skills to invite Hitsu Amber for another drink to get back at her. But until now, no one has actually mustered the courage to invite Hitsu Amber for another drink…

"So, Fei Tu, are you alright?"

"Eh... it's alright, but it's not great either." Hitoko shook her head, blinked, and looked at Kotobuki Toru beside her: "Toru, I want some water."

Kotobuki Toru nodded, casually opening a packet of rose tea from the hotel's reception table. He poured the dried rose petals into a teacup, waiting for the delicate petals to unfurl. While waiting for the rose petals to bloom, Kotobuki Toru glanced at Nishizaki Ryu beside him: "Anyway, that's how it is. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it..."

Nishizaki Ryu flipped through the roster in his hand and laughed, "I understand. They're having a blast in Teresa, America, so there's no way I'll be able to sleep tonight. And we're all very happy that Hitotsu Amber is back."

After all, the direct order given to Kotobuki Toru by Teresen in Japan was that even if you had to use your body, you had to coax and deceive her to win Hitsukoha back. Now that Hitsukoha is willing to come to Teresen in Japan for help, regardless of whether this "drunkenness" is fake or not, it's definitely a good thing...

"But now there's a problem." Nishizaki Ryu changed the subject, tapping his fingertips on the table: "There are no hotel rooms available now."

"Huh? Nishizaki, didn't you send out messages to count the number of rooms before? That's a good idea."

"No, really! You didn't reply to me before." Nishizaki Ryu spread his hands confidently, "Plus, the rooms were already cramped, so I gave one out..."

Is it really that scarce?

"Of course, standard rooms are for two or more racehorse girls. If they get along well, they might even share a room with three people, which is just enough to make room for them."

Since the hotel rooms were decided at the beginning of construction, Central Tresson could only make relatively reasonable arrangements based on the hotel's existing room types when arranging rooms.

The good news is that, according to the statistics from the Service Club and the data reported to the teachers, the vast majority of racehorse girls actually hope and are willing to live with other racehorse girls. After all, racehorse girls are also girls. The saying goes that a young girl is equal to 500 ducks, so a young racehorse girl can have the horsepower of at least 5000 ducks, with endless things to talk about and countless travel experiences to share.

Of course, the Service Department also withheld some information from reporting.

In the questionnaires submitted by the female racers, a significant number of them indicated that they didn't really have a preference for living alone or with other female racers. The main reason they chose to live with the racers in the team was to keep an eye on the other racers and prevent them from taking advantage of being in the same hotel as everyone else to sneak off and get intimate with their trainers...

Therefore, according to the final arrangement, the single rooms and double rooms in the hotel were for the trainers to use for daily office work and document review, while the standard rooms and twin rooms were allocated to the racehorse girls to live in freely in groups of two or three.

And so, in the end, they managed to squeeze everyone into the room.

Kotobuki Toru understood Nishizaki Ryu's meaning, so she turned to look at Hitotsu Kohaku beside her. Hitotsu Kohaku gave Kotobuki Toru a "you figure it out" look, and then continued to lower her head to skillfully play with the rose in the teacup with her bright red tongue.

Kotobuki glanced at the time and estimated that the Belgian Championships had just ended. Even if tourists were in a hurry, they would still choose to stay overnight in the United States. Therefore, if they tried to book a room at this time, they would basically be turned away...

However, just as Kotobuki Toru was looking conflicted, Kitahara Yutaka also came down, holding a thermos in his hand, looking like he was about to retire.

Kotobuki Toru waved and greeted her, "Kitahara, it's so late, why are you still wandering around outside?"

Upon seeing Kotobuki Toru and Nishizaki Ryu, Kitahara Yutaka felt as if he had found family, and quickly approached them. "Wandering around, feeling the free air of America... I didn't expect there to be people downstairs at this hour, how nice! I can dawdle again... oh no, I mean chat with everyone."

Nishizaki Ryu glanced at the ginseng soaking in Kitahara Yutaka's cup, and patted him on the shoulder teasingly, "Oh, so health-conscious, you've even soaked ginseng. Where's Oguri Hat?"

"Oguri Hat was having a late-night snack, so I came out for a stroll." Kitahara Yuzuru sighed softly, then waved his hands repeatedly, looking like he didn't want to talk about it. "By the way, what are you guys doing now? Kohaku is here too."

"The two of them didn't want to rest in Teresa, USA, so they came to stay with us... but there are no rooms available now."

Nishizaki Ryu then recounted the current situation to Kitahara Yutaka.

After hearing Nishizaki Ryu's explanation, Kitahara Yutaka's eyes lit up. "No room? My room key is right here, I haven't even touched the room..."

After saying that, Kitahara Yutaka slammed the room key onto the table with a "smack," saying, "Here you go!"

Kotobuki Toru was stunned by Kitahara Yutaka's boldness: "Then what about you, Kitahara?"

"Me? I can squeeze in with Nishizaki, it shouldn't be a problem, right, Nishizaki?"
