Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

However, it is said that people are most clear-headed and happiest when they are doing bad things:

Although I was completely drunk by Hitsukoha yesterday, just thinking about how everyone could use the same method Shinichi Kotobuki used to trick me at Hitsukoha's wedding banquet—having Hitsukoha play dumb to fool the unsuspecting victims—makes me happy.

I immediately felt refreshed!

So, with the mindset that "if I suffer, others can't have it easy either," Kotobuki Toru's distant relative and his aunt who owns a winery in France braved the risk of being toasted by Hitobuki Kohaku and took the initiative to come over and sit at the round table where the Kotobuki family had gathered.

"Ahem, Amber, you're really something. You drank so much yesterday, but this morning you don't look haggard at all. On the contrary, you look even more radiant."

Fei Tu Hu Po stuck out her tongue slightly and replied playfully, "Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Uncle. I was very happy and joyful yesterday. When you're in a good mood, your overall demeanor naturally looks better! I was also very happy to be able to try on a traditional Chinese wedding dress yesterday with everyone's blessings!"

Upon hearing Hitotsu Kohaku's words, Kotobuki Toru's aunt immediately revealed a meaningful smile. When she looked at Kotobuki Toru's uncle beside her, both of them read the expression "just what I wanted" in each other's eyes.

After just a brief exchange of glances, these two old foxes from the Kotobuki family immediately began to sing in unison.

After her uncle finished asking, her aunt continued cutting the honey cakes on the plate, and casually asked, "Looking at you in your wedding dress, Little Amber, it reminds me of my own wedding. I completely understand your happiness! But as someone who's been through it, I'd like to add something..."

"Please speak, please speak."

"Wearing a wedding dress is indeed a happy time, but it's not the happiest moment for a young girl!"

As expected, Amber was immediately intrigued, her tail wagging as she continued, "So... when was the happiest time?"

"Of course, it's when we stand on the altar and get married." Auntie answered very smoothly, and it was clear that she had already steered the conversation in her direction. "The wedding ceremony, Fei Tu and Xiao Tou, are you two thinking about it again? Have you set a time yet? We're all looking forward to drinking the formal wedding wine."

Upon hearing this, Fei Tu Hu Po's pretty face immediately turned crimson at a visible speed, and she stammered as she spoke: "We...we've discussed it occasionally, but I don't consider things as thoroughly as Tou Tou, so it's better for him to decide the timing."

As she spoke, Hitokohaku turned her gentle gaze to Kotobuki Toru, as if waiting for him to make the final decision. At this moment, Hitokohaku in everyone's eyes was no longer Triple Crown Racer Girl, but a young and beautiful girl who was about to get married.

Shinichi Kotobuki, his mother, and several other parents instantly smiled with relief.

"Sigh...you actually dumped the blame on me?"

Kotobuki Toru could only sigh helplessly, "If I hadn't rejected your suggestion to hold the ceremony on Halloween, on our actual wedding day, people might have actually seen two pumpkin heads holding the ceremony on stage... And a party that requires everyone to wear outlandish costumes, isn't that just a party?"

"Pfft." Auntie almost couldn't hold back and spat out the porridge in her mouth. "Hey, setting the wedding on Halloween is really a bit too whimsical... So, Tohru, what do you think?"

Kotobuki stroked her chin. "Right now, Kohaku is still an active idol and a Uma Musume contestant, so her time is limited. It's not suitable for her to make a big splash. We should at least wait until she retires, right? At that time, her professional career will end... which would be a perfect way to mark the end of her career!"

"Doesn't that mean we'll have to wait for more than a year?"

Kotobuki Toru did not deny it: "It might even be more than a year. If Kohaku's condition continues to be good... running for a few more years is not out of the question, right, Kohaku?"

Hitotsu Amber neither publicly dismantled the stage for Kototsu, nor did she object to Kototsu's decision: "No problem... Anyway, for me, the wedding ceremony is just an opportunity for everyone to get together and have fun, and marriage is the most important thing! I want to get this as soon as possible."

Shinichi Kotobuki, standing beside her, couldn't stop laughing: "Yes, yes, yes! Getting the marriage certificate as soon as possible is the best thing to do! Kohaku, I'm relieved that you're so concerned and proactive about this."

Seeing Shinichi Kotobuki so happy, his uncle helped him fill in any gaps and thought about what needed to be done before the wedding. Then he reminded him, "Since we're going to get our marriage certificate... Shinichi, how much dowry are you planning to give Kohaku?"

Shinichi Kotobuki slammed his fist on his palm, as if waking from a dream: "Oh right, I completely forgot about that! We're about to get our marriage certificate, and I haven't even prepared the dowry yet!"

"Shinichi, how much are you going to give?"

"I don't know... but since neither of Fei Tu Hu Po's parents are here, I might have bullied that little girl."

Shinichi Kotobuki slammed his hand on the walnut wood table, making the sugar cubes in the sugar jar clink. He then pulled out his cell phone from his suit pocket for transferring money. "The number should start with nine, and then Amber, you close your eyes and press 0. Whether you transfer more or less is up to fate... This money is for you alone!"

Kotobuki's mother nodded slightly at her husband. He was indeed very generous in this regard. His daughter, Hitoko, had never had any parents to take care of her or support her. Now that she had joined the Kotobuki family, she, as an elder, naturally had to become her support... Letting Hitoko close her eyes and press 0 was equivalent to giving her as much as she wanted. It was a great honor for Hitoko.

Auntie chimed in, "Little Amber, just press a few more zeros... Zhenyi isn't short of money."

"Ah, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need any betrothal gifts or dowry."

To everyone's utter astonishment, after hearing Shinichi Kotobuki's promise, Hitokohaku immediately responded, first expressing her gratitude, and then... decisively rejecting Shinichi Kotobuki's suggestion.

"No, you don't want it?" Kotobuki, sitting at the table, found it quite unbelievable. Thinking that Hitoko was just being polite, she reminded him, "Hey, Hitoko, my dad is serious. This is a great opportunity to get pocket money."

“I know.” Fei Tu Hu Po nodded slightly, then gently shook her head: “But, I still don’t want it! Not a single penny!”

Even Kotobuki Toru started to quietly advise, "Amber, I'm very touched by your virtuousness... but that old man is really not short of money. Giving you more betrothal gifts would also show the sincerity of the Kotobuki family?"

"Sincerity? But I think this is an insult to you, TouTou."

Hitotsu Amber calmly expressed her understanding: "Only if I give enough and show enough sincerity will I love you? Is the love of a beautiful girl very precious?"

"I don't think that's love at all. Love is equal... there's no distinction between high and low, noble and base!"

"If I only love you after accepting your betrothal gifts, and I only go to the marriage registry after the bride price reaches an astronomical figure, wouldn't that mean that I actually look down on you, think you are not good enough for me, and that's why I have to use money to fill the 'gap' between us?"

Kotobuki Toru stared blankly at Hitoko, completely astonished by Hitoko's thoughtful and unconventional words.

But undeniably, what Fei Tu Hu Po said actually makes some sense... If you ask for a lot of betrothal gifts and a high bride price, isn't that because you feel you've been taken advantage of in the marriage and need to make up for it with money?

"The more you ask for, the more I despise you..."

Fei Tu Hu Po chuckled, her thumb pads touching and her index finger nails pressed together, as if she were making a heart shape with her hands, while at the same time she was making a crooked number 0 with both hands.

"But I don't want it to be like this. I've never felt that you're not good enough for me, and I don't feel that I'm not good enough for you now. As partners and lovers, the gap between us is zero; we complement each other!"

"So, the bride price, betrothal gifts, and all that... are all 0!"

Chapter 478 Free is the most expensive

"Besides... I'm winning a lot of prize money from competitions now! I have no problem with food, drink, and living expenses... Money is always more satisfying when it's earned honestly and steadily."

After Hitotsuko finished explaining her arguments and evidence, Kotobuki Toru's aunt and uncle were filled with disbelief...

The uncle covered his face, muttering through his fingers, "Ugh, am I listening to some kind of science fiction story?"

But they had no choice but to believe that what Hitoko Amber said was true. After all, if she was here to make money, then Shinichi Kotobuki had already said that he would pay whatever amount was offered, and he would really keep his word.

The money was right in front of her, but Fei Tu Hu Po remained unmoved and even shared her own views with everyone.

Based on Sherlock Holmes' famous quote, "When you eliminate the impossible, the rest, however improbable, must be the truth," we can conclude that Amber truly believes this.

"Sigh... It's so enviable. Even an old auntie like me who doesn't believe in love feels warm inside, and my eyes feel like they're about to pee."

"That's not necessary..."

Fei Tu Hu Po waved her hands repeatedly, seemingly unaware of how damaging her words were to the middle-aged and elderly people present.

Because in Fei Tu Hu Po's heart, things should have developed this way. She had struggled with the same things that boys struggled with, and she had witnessed countless online discussions about betrothal gifts and dowries... The saying goes, "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you." Fei Tu Hu Po had no choice in the past, but now she wants to become the perfect beautiful girl she envisions.

Intelligence stats are excluded.

But the more Hitoko Amber said and explained, the more the men present felt that Hitoko Amber was very special.

Kotobuki Toru's uncle sighed sourly, "Putting everything else aside, if my child could find someone like Hitoko Amber... someone with Amber's level of skill, I would be thanking my lucky stars."

Shinichi Kotobuki patted his brother on the shoulder and laughed heartily: "Hehe, just you wait and see. Now, apart from my dream of holding my grandson, all my life's ideals have been realized."

"Hmph." Uncle shook Shinichi Kotobuki's hand off his shoulder with displeasure: "But there's a saying among young people—what doesn't cost money is what costs the most. Hitoko is so sensible, I don't believe you won't do something for her?"

"Of course there's something in return." Kotobuki Makoto, in high spirits, waved his hand dismissively. "Little Amber doesn't want anything, but the more she doesn't want anything, the more I have to give her..."

"No need." Fei Tu Hu Po shook her head slightly, trying to be polite. "I have everything I need... Besides, there's a generation gap between you and Uncle. What you like, I might not like."

"Can't we buy it if we don't need it?" Shinichi Kotobuki interrupted Hitoko Amber, smiling confidently. "Also, little Amber, can't you call me 'Dad' in front of everyone... You call me 'Kotsu-buki Dad' in private."

Hitoko Amber pouted: "Although you've been explaining my relationship with TouTou to all the horse girls from various racehorse families lately... I still hold a grudge!"

"Then I dare say that you will definitely accept the gift I prepared for you, Little Amber. If you do accept it, then call me Dad."

Fei Tu Hu Po had been tricked countless times by these cunning old foxes. Although she couldn't guess what they were thinking for the moment, instinct and habit made Fei Tu Hu Po pause for a moment: "Tell me first..."

"Then I'll take it as you agreeing." Shinichi Kotobuki smiled broadly. "Although you also thought that phoenix coronet and wedding robe were a bit unnecessary yesterday, when they were finally worn out... you had a happy smile on your face."

"Is it that obvious?"

"Never mind how obvious it is." Shinichi Kotobuki tapped the table with his fingertip, smiling as he pointed at Kotobuki. "Seeing you so happy makes me happy too... So I've decided to go find Venus and place a few more orders. You've already worn the Chinese style, the European style is on its way, so shouldn't we try out the Japanese style white kimono or something?"

"Wow, is it this big right from the start?"

Hitoko Amber hadn't expected that Shinichi Kotobuki would throw such a powerful temptation at her so directly, and it was simply... impossible to refuse.

Even Fei Tu Hu Po herself couldn't deny that she was a completely different person when she put on the phoenix coronet and wedding robes... In fact, after putting on that incomparably luxurious phoenix robe and feeling everyone's amazed gazes, Fei Tu Hu Po felt even more confident.

Although she felt a bit embarrassed, Fei Tu Hu Po now felt that... you can never have too many wedding dresses!

Thinking of this, Hitokohaku's gaze towards Kotobuki Shinichi changed—as expected of the head of the Kotobuki family, his offer was an irresistible bargaining chip...

"But! I'm not someone who's easily fooled!" Fei Tu Hu Po decided to show her tough side.

Shinichi Kotobuki smiled faintly: "Besides white kimonos, there are also kimonos and cheongsams... At least ensure that you can have one of each of the world's mainstream clothing styles. Try them out, and you won't have lived in vain."

"Snapped!"

Fei Tu Hu Po's gesture of holding the cup with one hand immediately changed to holding the cup with both hands, one on the left and one on the right, looking like an ancient general offering a toast.

"If you do not abandon me, I am willing to acknowledge you as my father!" said Fei Tu Hu Po with righteous indignation.

Kotobuki looked left and right, then said, "Although Amber's words sound sincere and convincing, I just can't help but feel that they're a bit ominous. I have a feeling my dad's going to get stabbed..."

“How could that be?” Scarlet Amber chuckled softly. “This is a society governed by law! I wouldn’t stab someone with a halberd! At most, I’d just agree to have the tubes removed…”

Shinichi Kotobuki's face turned pale: "Wow, aren't you still the Destroyer? Can we make peace?"

"Hey, I was just kidding, just trying to ease the awkwardness."

Hitotsu Kohaku stuck out her tongue playfully, then mimicked Kotobuki Toru's usual greeting to Kotobuki Shinichi, saying, "Dad... Dad..."

"Hey! Here!"

Kotobuki Toru looked at his father with disdain, and also looked at Hishiko with disdain.

"Ahem... A wise person knows when to yield."

Fei Tu Hu Po originally wanted to stand up for herself, but unfortunately, the other party gave her too much, and all the gifts were exactly what she wanted.

Hitoko Amber wouldn't admit it verbally, but after acknowledging her identity and body, she was now eager to experience all the things a young girl had never experienced before, including wearing all sorts of beautiful clothes to commemorate her most beautiful moments.

The saying goes, "One should be a hero in life..."

Even if she becomes a beautiful girl, she still has to try to be even more beautiful than other beautiful girls.

Chapter 479 The Test of Courage is Underway

After timidly calling out "Dad" to Shinichi Kotobuki, the old man immediately became as excited as a 50-year-old child.

After showing off to his wife, he went to show off to his distant cousin, and eventually even brought it up to Kotobuki's face...

They even said I have another daughter, and this one (referring to Kotobuki?) is no longer needed.

Kotobuki was practically fuming with rage, ready to have a real-life fight with her father, a battle of wits and filial piety.

Seeing that things were not going well, Kotobuki Toru grabbed Hitoshi Kohaku and his older sister and made a super retreat. Under the pretense of inviting Kotobuki to the temporary Venus store by the sea, they hitched a ride in Kotobuki's Maybach and drove to the seaside resort hotel.

Along the way, Hitoko and Kotobuki, the two unrelated sisters, sat in the back seat, chatting and discussing which styles of clothes could be arranged for Hitoko first. The shop owner focused on driving, while Kotobuki took a phone call in the passenger seat. The caller was their aunt, whom they had just said goodbye to not long ago.

Perhaps it was because of what Hitoko had said at the breakfast table that had moved her, this aunt, whose identity was not simple, also expressed her approval of Hitoko quite a bit. She even took the initiative to invite Hitoko to visit her winery in France before the Arc de Triomphe competition, to taste the newly made wine or experience the winemaking process, so as to relax.

If you don't want to deal with the countryside, you can also hold a solo concert at the Louvre and sing classic Louvre songs such as "Last One Kiss".

From this, Hitoko Amber could conclude that this aunt was definitely not an ordinary person... perhaps, like Japanese businessmen, she became prime minister as a businessman.

After briefly accepting his aunt's warm invitation, the Maybach slowly pulled over to the side of the road.

Kotobuki looked at the surrounding mountains and asked with great confusion, "Why did we stop here... Shouldn't we still be several kilometers away from that resort hotel?"

"To be precise, it's still five kilometers away." The shop manager glanced at the car's navigation system and gave Kotobuki a fairly accurate answer.

As an excellent secretary and employee, Hanae didn't wait for Kotobuki to ask further. Instead, she pointed ahead and said, "This road has been closed to traffic by the horse ladies."

Hibiki Amber reluctantly sat up straight in the massage chair, and in front of the Maybach were several horse girls wearing volunteer armbands, the leader of whom was Northern Black Horse with a pear-shaped hairstyle and full of vitality.

When Northern Genko saw a luxury car parked on the side of the road, he took the initiative to come over and explain the situation: "Are you here to attend the 'Horse Girl's Good Voice' live concert?"

Fei Tu Hu Po rolled down the car window and, like a little dog sticking its head out of the back seat, called out to Bei Bei Xuan Ju, "Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei! It's me."

Northern Black Horse exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening as he looked at the M logo on the Maybach, then at Scarlet Amber: "It's Amber! You're back already? I heard from Diamond that... you seemed to be wearing a wedding dress yesterday. Shouldn't you take advantage of wearing a wedding dress and have a grand wedding night?"
