Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Sure enough, this is what a strong person is like. Not only does he speak with an air of nonchalance, but his stomach and wallet are also incredibly powerful!

However, looking at the not-so-large bowl of noodles in front of Oguri, Hitotsu Kohaku, who was starving after exercising, thought that if it weren't for the fact that Kotobuki Toru was treating today and she was worried about whether his wallet could handle it, she could have eaten the whole bowl herself...

The ultimate glutton is actually myself?

Fei Tu Hu Po glanced at the menu and still managed to find the cheapest item on the menu.

Halal ramen with pork bone broth, and the pork bone broth is free!

Ordering several servings of this noodle dish wouldn't be a problem! And you can also see just how unconventional this owner's methods are...

When she was in school, Fei Tu Hu Po often saw reports on social media about girls on blind dates or first meetings who, taking advantage of the fact that the guys would offer to treat them, would order a lot of expensive and exquisite food without any hesitation, claiming that they were testing the other party's sincerity.

Hitotsu Kohaku didn't like this kind of person, nor was she willing to do this. After all, it was Kotobuki Toru who treated her to the meal and paid for it. Since he respected her, she naturally had to reciprocate with care and consideration.

"Boss, I'd like this halal pork bone noodle soup, please..."

"Give them one of each too, and put it on my tab."

But before Hitotsu Amber could speak, Oguri Hat took the initiative and ordered for the two of them, generously ordering every dish available at the stall.

Hitoko was still in surprise, while Kotobuki Toru coughed lightly: "It doesn't seem quite right for you, Oguri-senpai, to treat us."

I was really planning to work on building up my bond with Hitotsu Amber.

After all, he was still a slacker college student. Although he had obtained his trainer certification while studying, he hadn't even finished his graduation thesis yet...

Although Fei Tu Hu Po seems naive, she is still a member of society who entered the workforce earlier than me, so she has some experience and is somewhat wary.

There should be, right?

Even if the zither is played through, it's uncertain...

But no matter what, it's impossible for people to just follow you around like glue just by waving your hand.

And now, even if this little chestnut hat is from a senior... it can't steal my chance to treat Hitsuko to a meal, can it?

He wanted to poach her, so he wanted to treat Fei Tu Hu Po to more meals.

What's this? You, Little Chestnut Hat, want to poach someone's family too?

“It’s no problem for senior to treat juniors to a meal. Besides, I actually want you, Hito Amber, to study at Central Tereson.”

She really wants to poach him!

Oguri Hat directly invited Hitotsu Kohaku to Central Teresen!

The zither music was so strong it almost turned red.

Isn't this poaching someone's partner?

No, I don't have any deep relationship with Hitotsu Amber right now... Strictly speaking, Oguri Hat's actions don't really count as poaching someone else's partner.

First of all, he wasn't in a hurry, really not in a hurry, but he just had a feeling of unease.

At this moment, Hiruko Amber also snapped out of her daze and asked, "Senior Oguri Hat, why did you suddenly say you wanted me to go to Teresen? And the very core, Central Teresen..."

I had already learned about Tressen, the top academy exclusively for racehorse girls, but there are differences between Tressen academies. The Tressen academy that gathers the best resources and the best racehorse girls in each country is the Central Tressen, which is also the core leadership department of all Tressen academies in the country.

The Tressen that Oguri mentioned is undoubtedly the best Tressen Academy in Japan—Central Tressen Academy.

Fei Tu Hu Po had daydreamed before, such as one day an old scholar with glasses as thick as beer bottles would suddenly approach her and say that he had been admitted to a certain university in advance and that there was no need to waste time studying in this classroom anymore.

The students cast envious, jealous, and hateful glances at her, while the homeroom teacher looked on incredulously... and she herself was able to escape the pain of exam preparation.

Of course, Hitotsu Amber knew that all of this was just an illusion. She would still have to face reality as it was, failing the exam if she was supposed to, trying other things if she was supposed to, and retaking it if she was supposed to...

But today, something that could only happen in a daydream actually happened to me.

A legendary horse racing girl boss extended an olive branch to her, inviting her to join the top academy that all horse racing girls aspire to!

Chapter 40 Transferring Student Status? I don't have any student status at all!

Oguri Hat, unaware of the impact of her words, continued, "The school teachers and student council even asked me to scout out some promising racehorse girls."

“I just saw you training your strength; you have excellent talent… I think you should go to Central Treson and see the wider world.”

Fei Tu Hu Po was still a little confused, and when people are confused, they usually say some strange things: "Um, let me think about it? I've never traveled far from home in my life."

After tilting his head and considering his words for a moment, Little Chestnut Hat spoke with an air of authority, as if imitating someone from his memory:

“Of course, I’m not asking for your opinion. As the president of the Central Teresa Student Council… no, vice president, my power is unlimited. I’m just informing you that your student status will be transferred from Sapporo to Tokyo.”

Oguri Hat's aura surged forth like a tidal wave in that instant, making Hito Amber feel as if the person standing in front of her was not that gluttonous racehorse girl, but rather an emperor sitting majestically on a throne.

but……

"I never went to school... My student status should have been cancelled, right? To transfer student status, I should still have a student record, right?"

"what?"

This was the first time that Fei Tu Hu Po had ever seen such a mechanical expression on the face of an intelligent being: "Database insufficient, crashed."

"Senior? Are you alright?"

……

After Oguri Hat's database crashed, it took a long time before the legendary racehorse girl finally restarted the system, tempted by a bowl of tempura.

After restarting, Oguri Hat returned to her previous clear-eyed and somewhat adorable appearance. Fei Tu Hu Po could roughly guess that Oguri Hat had probably heard others say similar things or seen similar scenes before, which was why she copied those words verbatim.

Unfortunately, Oguri Hat probably didn't encounter a low-educated horse girl like herself back then, who didn't even have a Teresen school registration. As a result, there was no relevant response material in this horse girl's database... and it collapsed on the spot due to insufficient material.

"So, Hibiki Amber, you never went to school?"

Fei Tu Hu Po scratched her head, feeling too embarrassed to admit that she only had a junior high school education and had dropped out of high school, so she immediately changed to a more tactful way of saying:

"Well... I already have the knowledge from school in my head, so going to school isn't that important to me right now."

"Oh."

Little Chestnut Hat's face immediately showed an expression of admiration, "You are the legendary academic genius!"

"I wish I were."

Fei Tu Hu Po scratched her head, "But Xiao Li Mao, what you understand is quite different from reality... Actually, I didn't go to Treson or anything because I was working to support myself."

At this moment, Kotobuki Toru spoke up, his tone seemingly tinged with relief: "In short, Oguri-senpai, it seems you can't get Hisakohaku to transfer to another club."

"After thinking about it carefully... I'm definitely not the kind of person who's good at forcing others to make choices..."

Oguri Hat's expression remained unchanged, and he was not discouraged. Instead, he looked at Hitotsu Amber and said, "Do you want to join Central Treson? I am the vice president and I am qualified to invite you to join without taking an exam."

Instead of answering Oguri Hat's question immediately, Hibiki Amber countered with, "What benefits would it bring me to join?"

Oguri tilted his head and thought for a moment, barely recalling the contents of the Central Teresen recruitment brochure, and then answered: "What I remember... free self-service cafeteria, free room and board, full reimbursement of accommodation and travel expenses for participating in competitions, and many excellent teachers and trainers."

"Huh? Central Tresson is actually getting such good treatment?"

Oguri Hat nodded: "There should be other benefits, but I don't remember."

Fei Tu Hu Po immediately showed a look of excitement mixed with hesitation. There was no way around it; the temptation of free room and board was too great!

What's more, they might even have free public bathhouses!

Hitoko Amber fell into deep thought, and Kotobuki Toru also remained silent, and the entire food stall fell silent once again.

Oguri Hat lived up to her title as a top-tier legendary racehorse girl. After ending the conversation, she instantly switched to a frenzied eating mode, devouring the pile of food that belonged to her on the food cart table with great enthusiasm.

"No need to answer right away."

After licking the food residue from the corners of his mouth clean with his tongue, Oguri stood up and nodded slightly to Hitoko Amber: "I'll be in Sapporo for the next few days, and then I'll be going to Obihiro, Hokkaido this Sunday to attend the opening ceremony of a competition... You can tell me your decision anytime before then."

Hitoko Amber looked up and said, "Eh, this Sunday? Obihiro? Is it the opening of the horse draft race?"

"you know?"

As Oguri Hat nodded, she took out her wallet to pay. The wallet looked anything but luxurious, even appearing somewhat rough and old... This horse racer was probably a nostalgic person.

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded, "I've signed up... I'm going to print out my entry certificate tomorrow."

"That's great. I'll be waiting for your reply in Odaiba this Sunday. I look forward to seeing your performance and wish you the best of luck."

Oguri Hat smiled, lifted the curtain, rubbed her half-full belly, and walked away, leaving Kotobuki Toru and Hito Kohaku sitting by the food cart.

……

Even so, Hitoko turned to look at Kotobuki Toru beside her, her eyes filled with a question.

"Hey, TouTou, I feel like my luck has really turned around... Um, let's not say that. I feel like I've been having a lot more opportunities lately... What do you think about what Oguri Hat said earlier?"

Kotobuki sighed, wishing she could give Hitoko Amber a good whack on the head: "What else can I think? Central Treisen, the top academy for racehorses, is an opportunity that could change the fate of any racehorse girl, especially for someone like you who has no power or influence. Such an opportunity is right in front of you... of course you should..."

Qin Chuitou's Adam's apple suddenly bobbed up and down, and his previously excited voice abruptly lowered: "But this is, after all, a decision that could affect your career... It's up to you to make the choice."

In the end, Kotobuki Toru still didn't give Hishiko any reply.

But sometimes, no reply is also a reply, just like those resumes that Fei Tu Hu Po sent out and then disappeared without a trace.

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded, "Is that so... But we have to finish the horse race first. I'll have to trouble you these next few days. By the way, boss, why hasn't the food been served yet?"

"Girl, I'm almost exhausted... Do you know how difficult it is to make everything on the menu? You didn't say that the exam would actually test all the knowledge points, did you? And some of the dishes on the menu, I just wrote them down because I thought they were cool, how am I supposed to know how to make them?"

"Then you still dare to order halal tonkotsu ramen?"

"But my family's secret recipe is tonkotsu ramen, though it seems like not many people order it..."

"Besides someone like me who's just here for the fun, who would dare order this? I suggest you remove the tonkotsu... Anyway, it didn't say it was zero calories, oh no, it didn't say it was somen noodles."

Chapter 41 Those who secretly take advantage are the truly ruthless.

After dinner, the two of them leisurely left.

The one who ate the most, Hibiki Amber, sighed with displeasure, "Well... this food is really hard to eat... how did Oguri-senpai manage to eat it?"

"But you still finished eating."

"You didn't eat much, did you? I was afraid of wasting food."

Tonight, Kotobuki Toru barely touched his chopsticks, looking completely preoccupied.

"Well~ I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning!"

"Um...actually, I want to be alone for about a day..."

Hitotsu Amber tilted her head. "Who is Jingjing? One of the other racehorse girls?"

Kotobuki Toru waved his hand and did not answer Hitoko Amber.

……

The following day, Hokkaido University resumed classes as usual.

The way he played the zither so well early in the morning startled his mentor.

"You little rascal...you didn't actually play a game yesterday, did you?"

Qin Chuitou covered his mouth with his hand and yawned: "Haa... no, I stayed up all night in the dorm yesterday. I look haggard, but why would you think I went out and messed around?"

The mentor smiled... "Haven't I seen enough people staying up all night?"

But people who stay up late can be divided into many different types.

Although everyone's body is becoming haggard from staying up late, some people are forced to stay up late by life's pressures or their own desires. These people will have a conflicted and regretful look on their faces after staying up late... regretting why they chose this job and why they chose to stay up late.

Such people are most exhausted not physically, but mentally.

But for another type of person, staying up late is different.

Their motivation to stay up all night stems from their inner fighting spirit and desire, such as suddenly having an inspiration or idea that can keep them awake all night, or staying up all night to climb a mountain and reach the summit at dawn.

Or, for example, a college student who's never even held a girl's hand suddenly gets the chance to play a game with a beautiful girl...

Although she had dark circles under her eyes and pale cheeks, the excitement and warmth in her eyes were undeniable.

The current Kotobuki Toru is the latter, radiant and with bright eyes... coupled with his pale face and chapped lips, he looks like he's having a final burst of energy before death.

Either they stole a delicious cabbage, or...

Even the mentor himself couldn't guess it.

"I'm just guessing, so what were you doing in the dorm last night?"

Kotobuki yawned repeatedly, but still took out a notebook from his handbag and handed it to his tutor.
