Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Chapter 426 Let's go to my house for dinner?

"First of all, from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., a bus will depart every hour from Sapporo Tressen and Otaru Ranjima Seaside Hotel, traveling between the two locations. You can travel by showing your employee ID or student ID."

"Of course, I would like to say that... the distance between the two places is only 40 kilometers, there are no cars, and there is a special road for racehorses... everyone can just run, it's less than an hour's journey, and it can also train endurance."

"This time, the trainers and racehorse girls are housed on separate floors. Trainers stay on odd-numbered floors, and racehorse girls stay on even-numbered floors. Visiting each other's rooms after 9 PM is not allowed unless absolutely necessary. There will be racehorse girls from the Discipline Committee patrolling the area. Of course, they only check the area within our hotel; no one will bother us if we're traveling outside..."

Hitsu Amber read out the arrangements according to the action manual given to her by Little Chestnut Hat, occasionally interjecting her own rants and insights.

The ponies in the audience showed no respect for Amber, and some of the newbie ponies who were close by raised their hands and asked, "Why did we have to come back when we could have just gone to the beach?"

“This student has hit the nail on the head.” Hitoko Amber clapped her hands. “Of course, it’s your summer homework… According to Central Treson’s arrangements, everyone has to run more than five qualifying races every week. Racehorses that drop in rank will be forced to attend a week of remedial classes. There are also monthly team races, student exchange races between Central and Sapporo Treson… Of course, the most important thing is the qualifying races. Everyone must register and participate on time and in the required number of races.”

"Wait a minute... this is different from what we said before? Wasn't it supposed to be voluntary?"

"Really?" Fei Tu Hu Po glanced at the handbook in her hand again: "I saw in the booklet that everyone has already volunteered, everyone."

A chorus of groans erupted from the audience. This was probably the first time they had experienced the harsh realities of campus life and the meaning of forced voluntary enrollment...

However, Fei Tu Hu Po was already used to all of this. The hellish overtime work and the situation of missing the last bus and sleeping on the street because of overtime work were all commonplace.

After offering a small sympathy to the complaining racehorse girls, Hitotsu Amber finished reading the rest of the text in one go: "Of course, besides the races, there will be a whole bunch of different activities at the academy and the resort beach, like The Voice of Treisen, The Neptune Tournament, and so on... those are truly voluntary participation."

Fei Tu Hu Po snapped the booklet shut, then smiled slightly at everyone in the room: "So, those are the things to keep in mind for this summer camp in Treson. Any other details will be announced in the student group. I wish you all a pleasant and rewarding summer vacation!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The racehorse girls in the arena scattered like birds and beasts. It was clear that... for these students, the allure of the Triple Crown racehorse girls couldn't compare to the long and enjoyable summer vacation.

But that's fine, since Fei Tu Hu Po doesn't know what else to say anyway. Since her character has already collapsed, she might as well not make any more rambling remarks that would annoy everyone.

As she leisurely stepped down from the podium, Oguri Hat gave Hito Amber a thumbs up: "Surprisingly good, Amber...you have the demeanor of a student council president."

Hibiki Amber scratched her head sheepishly: "Eh, really? But I feel like I haven't actually done anything yet..."

“The former student council president didn’t do anything either.” Oguri Hat didn’t think that Hishiko Amber’s words were unambitious at all. “The so-called 'governing by doing nothing' means that the president of Treson just needs to take responsibility and become the target of other racehorse girls. No matter how chaotic it is, can it be more chaotic than the current Central Treson?”

After saying that, Oguri patted Hitoko Amber on the shoulder: "If you want to be the student council president, keep working hard. I'm going to go buy swimsuits with Kitahara first. Do you want to come with me, Amber? Venus Secret's new swimsuits are very sexy... Speaking of which, I haven't seen you showing off your long legs yet, Amber."

Fei Tu Hu Po's style of dressing is very interesting. Although sometimes she wears very revealing outfits, such as the final dress and the wedding dress she tries on, which are all openwork with as much fabric as she wants, there is another characteristic to these outfits. No matter how other parts are designed, Fei Tu Hu Po's legs and feet are always covered with a layer of black or white stockings. Although stockings do not affect the display of her figure, they are still a piece of clothing.

"Swimsuits, huh?" Upon hearing Oguri Hat's suggestion, Hito Amber was momentarily stunned. In all the time she had bought all sorts of clothes, Hito Amber had never actually bought a swimsuit before. Hearing Oguri Hat's invitation, Hito Amber immediately wanted to nod and agree.

But just as she was about to speak, Hitotsu Kohaku caught a glimpse of Kotobuki Toru standing behind Oguri Hat winking at her and then shaking her head slightly.

Hitoko was puzzled, but in order not to delay things, she could only give Oguri Hat an apologetic smile: "Oguri Hat, you can go with Trainer Kitahara to buy the swimsuits this time. I... I may have some other things to do."

Oguri wasn't annoyed by the rejection. Since it would be a good opportunity to have some alone time with Kitahara Yutaka, she nodded and said, "Okay, then Amber, do as you please."

Super Creek also seemed to be heading out to buy swimsuits, and instructed Hitoko Amber, "The room keys for Uma Musume are all in our Service Department's hands. Remember to come and pick them up after you get to Otaru."

"OK, all right."

Hitoko watched her seniors skip and hop towards the Sapporo shopping street. Once they were out of sight, she looked at Kotobuki Toru again: "Toru...aren't you going to buy a swimsuit?"

“I definitely want to buy it, but…” Kotobuki Toru held up her phone, looking a little nervous as she said to Hisako, “Um, my family just called and said they wanted to invite you out for a meal or something…”

"Hey, free food! Great!"

When Fei Tu Hu Po heard that someone was inviting her to dinner, she was overjoyed and instinctively thought of going to freeload and take advantage of the meal.

But the next moment, her mind pieced together the words Qin Chuitou had said to her.

"Wait, wait a minute! You just said your family wanted to invite me to dinner?"

"Yes."

"Is it really just about eating?"

"What do you think?"

Chapter 427 Visiting the Kotobuki Family

Hitotsu Amber stared at the person opposite her, her fingertips gently stroking the pleats of her JK uniform skirt.

She had finally managed to ask herself, "Can we just eat and not talk?" But as soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it—what kind of banquet in this world involves only eating chopsticks and not talking?

The dining table and banquet are the best places for people to communicate and have heart-to-heart talks. Moreover, the soft clinking of knives and forks against plates at the table often hides some sharp topics...

Kotobuki Toru was actually quite nervous. Although more than ten years ago, many female horsemen came to his house for meals, those female horsemen basically came for three things: to eat, to complain about Kotobuki Toru, and to cultivate their relationship (referring to beating up Kotobuki Toru).

From a strategic perspective, this was the first time he had ever proactively invited other female horse girls to his home. In addition, his parents were both enthusiastic and anxious, and he hadn't even had time to cram or look up any tips like "What should I pay attention to when bringing a female horse girl home for the first time?" or "What will happen if my girlfriend and my mom fight?" Facing the unpredictable stage of fate, Kotobuki Toru was quite uncertain.

Calm down, it's okay. My family, except for my dad, are all quite understanding... Besides, my parents' requirements for me have changed from being gentle and virtuous to just being a woman. They don't care about my personality anymore. Fei Tu Hu Po, I'll definitely be fine.

Kotobuki Toru was still lost in thought, but Hitoko Amber took the initiative and offered him her sweaty little hand. The horse girl's warm body temperature and rapid pulse were transmitted to his palm...

Seeing Hitoko's tense yet gentle and infectious expression, Kotobuki Toru suddenly relaxed. He believed in the bond between himself and Hitoko, the red thread forged by the various events that had happened between them, by their joys and sorrows, which was much stronger than everyone imagined.

Kotobuki Toru replied with a smile: "Well, it's just going out for a meal, they're not going to eat us up, are they?"

"By the way, do I need to change my clothes?"

Fei Tu Hu Po looked down at her Treson school uniform. Although it was youthful and energetic, and fit her well and looked pretty, she still felt it wasn't dignified or grand enough.

After looking Hitoshi Kohaku up and down, Kotobuki Toru decisively pulled Hitoshi Kohaku up and down: "I don't think it's necessary. We're just going out for a meal. Your current outfit is fine. There's no need to change... It's not good to dress too flashy in front of elders."

"That makes sense... Shall we head to Tokyo now?"

"Why go to Tokyo? They're staying in Sapporo too. We can just go there directly."

Just before four o'clock in the afternoon, a rented tandem bicycle sped to a stop in front of a garden-style villa area.

Looking at the luxurious bronze gate, which was no less luxurious than the Central Teresa, Hitoko Amber gripped the handlebars on the back of her bicycle, her pretty face turning pale. "I've been delivering takeout in Sapporo for so many years... and I didn't even know there was a residential area here."

Kotobuki locked the tandem bicycle against the wall, ignoring the incredulous expressions on the security guard's face, and answered Hitoko Amber, "This place is indeed remote, and they don't deliver to places like this, but generally, people just call a chef over to cook for them."

Looking up at the lush, ancient trees that stretched as far as the eye could see, and the air filled with the bitter scent of vines, Hitoko asked timidly, "Didn't we agree to stay in Sapporo temporarily? Is this also temporary? A rented place?"

"Um, actually I bought it in full... I said I'd come here occasionally in the winter to stay and see the snow or something."

"..."

Kotobuki Toru, holding Hitoko Amber's small hand, walked to the entrance. He simply swiped his phone at the entrance, and the carved iron gate slid open silently under the action of the hydraulic device. The gravel path meandered through the neatly trimmed lily of the valley nursery and stretched into the distance.

"Please come in, Mr. Kotobuki, and Ms. Kohaku." The security guard saluted, his metal cufflinks gleaming in the setting sun.

Fei Tu Hu Po quickly nodded in acknowledgment: "Okay, thank you!"

The security guard recognized Kotobuki Toru by looking at the registration information at the gate, but once he saw Hitoko Amber's face, he recognized her at a glance.

The popularity and fame of Triple Crown Girl are evident...

Even with her popularity and status, when Fei Tu Hu Po walked through the villa area, she couldn't help but feel like a Pro MAX youth version of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time, finding everything novel and interesting.

"Why are there so many trees here? I thought wealthy people in villa areas usually create dry landscape gardens using black sand and stones, right?"

Kotobuki Toru understood a little and said as they walked, "The dry landscape garden was originally a poor but exquisite thing for the nobility in the past. They wanted to learn from the gardens in China, but they didn't have the conditions to do so. And now the dry landscape gardens are all for tourists to see. They stay for a few days and then leave... This place is for real people to live in. Instead of putting up a bunch of stones, it's better to plant more plants. Photosynthesis can produce some fresh air and help people live a few more years."

Fei Tu Hu Po felt that her intelligence and experience had both increased: "Oh...that seems to make a lot of sense."

Following Kotobuki Toru, they walked a few more steps towards the center of the villa area and arrived at a rather impressive detached villa. Kotobuki Toru raised his hand and knocked on the golden door knocker, and the wind chimes on the eaves tinkled in response.

"Hohoho! Here it comes!"

Before the door was even opened, Kotobuki's natural and cheerful voice drifted through the crack. Then the door was pushed open, and Kotobuki greeted them with a smile: "Hey~ we got home around the same time, didn't we? I just got here, and you guys are right behind me."

When Fei Tu Hu Po saw that the person who opened the door was an acquaintance who had taught her to sing and had eaten barbecue and sung karaoke with her, her initial nervousness immediately melted away, and she took the initiative to show a bright smile: "Sister, I've come to visit."

"Eh?"

Qin Chui paused for a moment, then smiled approvingly and pushed open the villa's door, welcoming the distinguished guest with open arms.

"Welcome, please come in and speak!"

Sure enough, Fei Tu Hu Po was different from most of the pretty girls she had ever met. Not only was she not very smart... well, not only was she not very cunning and not very good at palace intrigue, but she also had a special sense of reliability.

Although she may appear nervous and awkward when entering or leaving certain special occasions, Fei Tu Hu Po has never disappointed when it comes to crucial moments.

You are not allowed to go to a hotel room, you are not allowed to go to a hotel room, you are not allowed to go to a hotel room

Chapter 428 Kotobuki Toru's mother is also a mother!

Kotobuki welcomed Hishito Amber in the manner befitting a distinguished guest, and then led the way.

The interior decoration of this villa is even better than the public areas in the community. There are carved wooden screens, the corridors meander like ink dragons, and the shadows cast by swaying green bamboo spread on the ground like ink wash on rice paper.

I've been amazed by the scarlet amber countless times. Anyway, they're all priceless treasures. If I break one, I couldn't afford to pay for it even if I sold myself. After seeing them so many times, I've become indifferent to them...

Kotobuki Toru and Hitokohaku walked behind, chattering amongst themselves. Kotobuki Toru, in particular, was utterly shocked by Hitokohaku's sudden change in address, from calling Kotobuki "Teacher" to "Sister," exclaiming, "Eh, how come you changed your way of addressing me so quickly?"

Fei Tu Hu Po pouted and said in a low voice with a hint of delight, "I was thinking that this is your family's territory after all... When visiting someone's home, it's good to address them in a more intimate way. Besides, I came here with the determination to integrate into your family. If I start calling you 'sister' now, wouldn't it make me seem more proactive?"

Kotobuki nodded approvingly: "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful... I saw online that everyone feels awkward and embarrassed to address each other's family members for the first time. Didn't you feel that way?"

Fei Tu Hu Po shook her head slightly, her expression indifferent: "No, I don't have any relatives. In my whole life, I've only ever seen my father, mother, brother, and sister in the dictionary. I've never actually called them by name. Do you think I would feel awkward?"

"Huh, so this has actually become an advantage for you? But yours is really smooth..."

"Hehehe, I also want to act more sensible, what? Is that inappropriate?"

Kotobuki looked at Hitoko with a mixture of joy and heartache. It is said that children who grow up in non-primary single-parent families tend to be more mature in front of their elders, and this should be even more true for orphans like Hitoko. Perhaps she has never acted spoiled in front of her elders in all her life.

Despite her seemingly rough exterior, Hitotsu Amber was quite perceptive. Just by exchanging a glance with Kotobuki Toru, she immediately sensed something amiss in his gaze. Her lips pursed, and her expression instantly turned displeased: "Hey, I don't want you to pity me! What's there to pity about me?"

Kotobuki glanced at Kotobuki, who was walking at the front, and smiled helplessly, "Judging from my sister's spending habits... she probably prepared a little bit of 'change of address fee' or something, to bribe you to call her 'sister' directly, so that she would have more face or something."

"Huh?" Hitoko blinked and said defiantly, "It's just a little bit of money. I'm a Triple Crown racehorse girl now, and the prize money is astronomical. I don't care about such a small change fee. I want to show that I didn't come here for the money! Money can't make me change my mind. Only my fiery will can!"

"That's tough enough!" Kotobuki Toru clapped for Hitoko Amber, his face full of approval. "But before you're being so tough, do you want to hear how much that little bit of money is?"

Fei Tu Hu Po was taken aback for a moment, then asked with some curiosity, "How much?"

"If my sister puts in a little more effort... the property rights to this house should be yours."

"Eh..." Fei Tu Hu Po felt her knees buckle. Although she was told that wealth and power should not corrupt her or subdue her, she couldn't resist the sheer amount of money. It made her want to kneel down. "Ah? There's so much?"

Kotobuki Toru had anticipated Hitoko's reaction and chuckled speechlessly, "Didn't you just say it was only a tiny bit?"

Fei Tu Hu Po pursed her lips, on the verge of tears, "Waaah, is it too late for me to call you back 'Teacher' now and wait to receive some kind of 'change of address fee'?"

Kotobuki shrugged: "I think it's too late..."

Hitokohaku followed Kotobuki Toru's gaze and saw Shinichi Kotobuki waving at them from a courtyard not far away. He was dressed in a sharp suit and looked so energetic that Hitokohaku doubted whether Kotobuki Toru could be the heir to the conglomerate for 40 years...

Of course, Hitokohaku had seen Kotobuki Shinichi many times, but what caught Hitokohaku's attention even more was the beautiful woman sitting on the bench to the side.

This beautiful woman, still charming and youthful, had dark blue eyes similar to Kotobuki Touka and long, smooth flaxen hair. Her long eyelashes swayed as she blinked, giving her a noble air, perhaps even more so than a noblewoman.

To be honest, this was the first time Hishiko had ever seen such a woman with such an air of elegance, especially after being reassigned as a racehorse girl, Hishiko could easily spot other people's flaws...

But this noblewoman had absolutely no flaws.

Hitotsu Kohaku glanced at Kotobuki Toru beside her, then at the beautiful woman. Her beastly instincts kicked in instantly, and she immediately understood what was going on.

"Yes, is that what I guessed?"

“Almost all correct.” Kotobuki nodded with a smile. “This is my mom. She doesn’t look very old, so calling her ‘Mom’ isn’t quite right…”

Meanwhile, Kotobuki had already skipped and hopped over to the beautiful woman's side, grinning as she boasted in her ear about how Hitoko had called her "sister" earlier. The two of them standing together looked more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Shinichi Kotobuki was the first to greet her, "Hey, congratulations, Kohaku! You've successfully become a Triple Crown racehorse girl!"

"Ah, um, thank you..." Hito Amber politely expressed her gratitude, then tugged at her sleeve, which was soaked through by Koto's playing: "By the way, what should I call you?"
