Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

However, the lady gave Fei Tu Hu Po no chance to resist at all, "Then you won't go for the foot quality test? That's perfect, I'll call the school again."

Fei Tu Hu Po quickly reached out and pressed down on the noblewoman's hand, which was about to dial the phone. "No, no, no, let's go, let's go..."

Kotobuki Toru scratched his head: "Then, can I not go?"

"What do you say?"

-------------

Perhaps to attract customers of Uma Musume and to provide convenience for Uma Musume students, the Sapporo Venus store is not far from Sapporo Tressen. The three of them walked for less than ten minutes and arrived at the Sapporo Venus store.

The Venus store in the city center is still bustling with people, even on weekdays, there is a constant stream of customers.

However, when the lady pulled out her business card, or even before she did, the staff instantly realized that a distinguished guest had arrived just by looking at her face...

Although Venus's service principle is to be warm and generous to everyone, it does not prohibit being even more enthusiastic towards distinguished guests who are about to arrive.

The three were led to a quiet corner where they wouldn't be disturbed. A moment later, a saleswoman pushed over a long cart with clothes hanging on it for trying on. The cart was filled with all sorts of clothes—pure, sexy, and cool styles…

But there was no price tag attached.

"Lady, hello...and the red-haired racehorse girl I met last time, and...the bodyguard?"

To the surprise of both parties, the staff member who served them this time was the same saleswoman who had served Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru when they came to buy the "show" running shoes last time.

The shop assistant looked at Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru. Last time, when this strange duo came, she was struggling and worrying about the budget. She didn't expect that this time they would come with a famous local nobleman!

The shop assistant could only lament that the world had truly gone mad to a point she couldn't comprehend...

While she found it amazing, the saleswoman's professionalism was still evident. She immediately nodded slightly to Fei Tu Hu Po: "Are you Miss Fei Tu? Not long has passed, so we still have your size recorded... Are you here to buy running shoes or clothing as well?"

While it's said there's a record, it's really just that the shop assistant has the model-level physique data of Hitoko Amber memorized. After all, Hitoko Amber's physique is top-tier even among Uma Musume models...

"Hey, if that's the case, then it's much easier, isn't it?"

Hobby Amber, who couldn't wait to pay and leave, clapped her hands and looked at the clothes rack cart, searching for the standard school uniform of Treson Academy.

According to what the lady on the road just said, a long time ago, when the racehorse girls enrolled in Tressen Academy, Tressen Academy would find a clothing company to customize school uniforms based on the racehorse girls' body sizes. Not only was the process complicated, but they also often got the racehorse girls' data wrong.

Later, Treson stopped customizing school uniforms for the racehorse girls in bulk. Instead, at the beginning of each school year, she would directly issue a few school uniform redemption cards to the racehorse girls of her school, allowing them to go to the Venus store to try on and redeem the school uniforms themselves.

This would reduce the school's workload and the cost of school uniforms, while the Venus store could also take the opportunity to promote other pretty dresses and new running shoes to the racehorse girls.

Therefore, Treson's school uniform cannot be found at the school; it must be purchased from Venus's stores.

After searching for a long time, Fei Tu Hu Po still couldn't find Treson's school uniform, and the noblewoman hadn't paid any attention to her since leading her in, instead starting to seriously study the new clothes.

So Amber raised her hand and asked, "I want a Treson school uniform, but there aren't any on this hanger."

"Oh? Are you buying a school uniform?"

Upon hearing Fei Tu Hu Po's request, the saleswoman simply shrugged and replied, "Then I'll just get you a set according to your body size. After all, Treson's school uniforms haven't changed in style for many years... and whether the uniforms look good or not, students have to wear them anyway, so we don't have the right to choose. That's why we don't display the uniforms."

Scarlet Amber nodded understandingly. If there was a dress code at Treson Academy, then she could choose to wear casual clothes in as well…

"Then please get me one!"

"Okay, Miss Fei Tu, do you have any school uniform vouchers?"

Fei Tu Hu Po shook her head, "No, but it should be possible to buy it with cash, right?"

"Yes, it's possible, but it will be very expensive..."

"Yes, how expensive is it?"

"5 yen a set, hey, don't roll your eyes first... Miss Hito, think about it, besides you, those top horse girls and top idol horse girls with millions of fans also wear this set in the academy, don't you feel much better?"

"My feelings don't matter, what matters is that the money in my wallet is upset..."

Upon hearing Hitoko's complaint, the shop assistant gave her a smile that made Hitoko feel a little uneasy: "However, according to our strategic deployment activities, if you buy other types of clothing from us, we can give you a school uniform as a gift."

Here it comes! This is the open scheme of large clothing companies! They specifically target customers' pain points and desires, then ruthlessly rip them off.

Even Hitoko Amber could guess that the "other types of clothing" the saleswoman mentioned were more expensive than the 50,000 yen price tag of the Teresen school uniform...

"Pfft!" Kotobuki Toru, who had been quietly trying to keep a low profile by finding a corner spot since entering the store, suddenly made a strange sound. "Where did you guys get this idea from...?"

The sales assistant was as helpful as ever, answering every question: "I remember it was... the current president of Venus, Miss?, who suggested it?"

"Oh, President..."

Kotobuki Toru sighed, then turned to Hisako Amber: "What do we do now? Are you going to just buy a school uniform? Or are you going to participate in this event?"

Fei Tu Amber pursed her lips. "Although I know it's obviously a way to make money off me, I'm really tempted... When the mall gives away Pepsi with Coca-Cola purchases, I always buy the maximum amount. I can't refuse this kind of promotion!"

Despite the temptation of the gift and having a considerable amount of prize money in hand, Fei Tu Hu Po couldn't resist this blatant scheme...

With a sense of relief, Hibiki Amber muttered softly, "Anyway, as long as it's not a dress..."

"Miss Hito, you guessed right~ All the outfits for this event are dresses, which are also our main styles recently. They look absolutely stunning on horse girls, especially racehorse girls!"

The saleswoman smiled and pulled over the clothes rack. "I'm sure you've guessed it already. The purpose of this event, besides increasing sales, is also to encourage our female customers to wear our clothes and go out more often. This will also help promote our products!"

As she spoke, the shop assistant gave Hitoko Amber a thumbs up: "Especially a racehorse girl like you, you're a natural-born model! Um, why are you hitting yourself?"

Fei Tu Hu Po scratched her face, making a face that was both funny and exasperated: "I'm warning myself... never to jinx it again. Now, I'd still like to trouble you, Miss, to give me a recommendation..."

Upon hearing that she would be the one to make recommendations, the enthusiastic saleswoman immediately perked up and, without even glancing at the clothes, took a bunch of clothes from the clothes rack.

"Although it is a trend to buy skirts and tops separately and pair them together, since you may not have studied fashion much, I still suggest you try on dresses like this."

Fei Tu Hu Po held up the suit in her hand, imagining how she should wear such a big dress.

The sales assistant noticed Hitoko Amber's confusion and whispered to her, "There's something else I didn't mention earlier. Considering your large bust and the fact that you're a racehorse girl with a lot of exercise, I chose styles with back zippers for you... You can imagine how embarrassing it would be if you suddenly exerted force during exercise and the zipper or button on your chest popped open."

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded hurriedly. Just imagine it, during the previous horse-drawn carriage race's catwalk ceremony... she actually broke down on the spot!

If something happens once, it will definitely happen again. I don't want to be held back all the time because I'm afraid my chest will burst!

"Then I'll go to the locker room and try it out first."

"Hmm~ Take your time trying them, no rush. I'll go over there and help the lady introduce the products."

After speaking, the shop assistant bowed slightly and turned to walk towards the distance of the shop, while Fei Tu Hu Po quickly grabbed the clothes and went into the fitting room to try them on.

Three minutes passed, then five minutes passed. Just as Kotobuki Toru was about to ask Hitokohaku what was going on, Hitokohaku pushed open the dressing room door and peeked at Kotobuki Toru. "Quick, quick, come help me... This outfit is so weird, the zipper on the back won't zip up."

"Shall I go and call a clerk for you?"

"Don't go... I suspect I've gained weight... If Donna finds out, she'll laugh at me to death!"

Hitotsu Amber raised an eyebrow and grinned at Kotobuki Toru, "Hurry up and come here!"

With a nervous heart, Kotobuki Toru quickly got up and walked towards Hitokohaku's dressing room, only to be pulled inside by Hitokohaku.

Although Venus's dressing room wasn't as cramped as a typical small shop, it still wasn't particularly spacious enough to accommodate two people. Kotobuki Toru stood in the innermost part, with Hitoko Amber's clothes hanging beside her.

The dressing room was filled with the faint scent of air freshener. At this moment, Hitotsu Amber was already wearing a rose-colored fitted dress. The unusual color complemented Hitotsu Amber's crimson hair, making her already stunningly beautiful appearance even more gorgeous.

Before Kotobuki Toru could even take a few glances and get a good feel for it, Hitoko Amber turned around, revealing the zipper hanging behind her waist and her fair back to Kotobuki Toru.

"Hurry up and help me... The zipper is behind me, I can't exert any force, and I don't dare to pull it too hard... Waaah, you bastard, don't touch me! I told you to zip up my zipper! What are you doing?"

"This changing room is so dark, how am I supposed to find the zipper if I don't fumble around?"

"Where is it dark? Oh... take off those lousy sunglasses! What's the point of wearing sunglasses now..."

I never expected to be taught a lesson by this silly horse! And her reminder was actually right... So Kotobuki Toru awkwardly reached behind his head and started groping around.

Reaching out, I was surprised to find that the ear loops of my mask and the temples of my glasses were tangled together in a mess. Helpless, Kotobuki Toru had no choice but to pull off both the sunglasses and the mask.

Anyway, there's no one else in this locker room, I can just put it on when I go out.

Kotobuki Toru grabbed the hem of Hitoko Amber's dress at the lower back with one hand and started pulling up the hidden zipper with the other.

"Hey……"

The noblewoman's nickname for Hitsu Amber, "Fat Rabbit," was no accident. While the zipper on her dress was as smooth and silky as Dove chocolate at the waist, it suddenly became incredibly difficult for Hitsu Amber to walk on her back.

Kotobuki knew that it wouldn't do any good for one person to be anxious, so he reminded her, "Exhale a little and relax... It's only a little difficult to cover such a short distance."

"Hoo..." Hitoko Amber exhaled softly as she placed her hand on the dressing room door to stabilize her upper body so that Kotobuki could exert more force. "Faster..."

Kotobuki nodded, and seeing the delicate muscles on Hitotsu Amber's back relax, he immediately swayed his waist and pulled the zipper up forcefully.

At first, the playing felt smooth, and just when I thought I could play it all the way through, a noticeable resistance suddenly came...

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

Suddenly, Hitotsu Amber cried out, and the girl's body trembled with pain. Reason prevented Hitotsu Amber from kicking backward, but instinct still made her release the sudden pain.

And the only place for Hitotsu Amber to vent her anger was the wooden door in front of her that served as a handrail for the changing room.

The racehorse girl has a great burst of power... and it's no problem for her to break through a mere wooden door lock inside.

Then, a cracking sound rang out.

The next second... the locker room door slammed shut.

"Oooh!"

Even more frightening is...

At the same time, the shop assistant's exclamation came from outside the door.

--

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Guests, This Is Not Your Home! (4000 words combined)

"boom."

"Our door!"

As the wooden door to the locker room slowly and decisively collapsed, there were no longer any barriers between the people, and their vision and space were completely opened up.

"Ouch, it hurts so much! It's stuck in my flesh... Waaah, why does my head start to hurt too?!"

Hitoko Amber was making a whimpering sound because the zipper was stuck on her back. The racehorse girl's well-developed and irresistible tear ducts had even started to roll down her cheeks, and with her naturally charming face, she looked like a pear blossom in the rain.

Kotobuki Toru, on the other hand, began to think expressionlessly about how to clear his name if he were really mistaken for a bad guy who sneaked into the locker room...

"What's going on here? And what was that commotion in the locker room just now?"

"A noblewoman? When did she arrive?"

"Not long after...did we arrive at the wrong time?"

The noblewoman crossed her arms and watched the strange scene before her with a half-smile... Fei Tu Hu Po was bent over, her hands straight on the ground, her waist slightly curled, making her look like the letter "n".

Kotobuki Toru was standing behind Hitokohaku. Perhaps because the door had fallen so suddenly, Hitokohaku had her hands on the door and fell forward. In a moment of panic, Kotobuki Toru instinctively reached out to help.

And so, Kotobuki Toru grabbed Hitoko's hair with one hand and her waist with the other, pulling her along in strange and awkward ways.

He's at least a responsible man, just not a very responsible one...

Hitoko's hair is really good; even with all that, Kotobuki Toru didn't pull it all out of her head.

Although she already knew in her heart that the two of them were only friends and partners at the moment... looking at the scene in front of her, the lady still sighed, "They're playing pretty big games."

Not only did she marvel at it, but the lady even took out her phone from her handbag, opened the camera, and started snapping photos to record this beautiful moment.

Japanese mobile phone cameras cannot be set to silent mode while taking pictures, so Kotobuki Toru, upon hearing the camera shutter sound, immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Tona, what are you doing?"

The lady smiled broadly: "I'm taking photos as evidence for you, aren't I? If any bad guys try to threaten you later, I'll have photographic evidence of the incident."

In fact, statistically speaking, the noblewoman herself is the most likely to use the photos to blackmail the Kotobuki family. After all, with these photos in hand, not only could the problem of the arranged marriage be easily solved, but the Kotobuki family might also have to pay a large sum of money to have the photos deleted...

But having finally found two people who can be considered friends after all these years, how can I not cherish them?

I'll share this photo with Kotobuki Toru and Hitoko Amber in a bit.

The saleswoman looked conflicted and helpless. She had heard that some customers would get carried away by their hormones and start having sex in the dressing room because the clothes were so beautiful. But the dressing room door had been removed, and given the current situation, weren't these two going a bit too far?

Most importantly, this locker room needs to be repaired! And I'm very likely to have my salary deducted due to inadequate management and supervision, and I might even have to write a rectification report.

Even a clay Buddha has its temper; this is intolerable. The shop assistant immediately pursed her lips, preparing to deal with these two unruly guests who treated Venus like their own home.

"Guests! This is not your home..."

But just as she started speaking, the shop assistant abruptly stopped...

The young man in the locker room had taken off his mask and sunglasses at some point, probably for the sake of convenience. He was actually quite handsome... but that's not the point!

The key point is, she seems to have seen that face somewhere before, but where exactly...?

While the shop assistant was out of service, Fei Tu Hu Po quickly got up from the ground, clapping her hands as she pondered how to compensate for the broken dressing room door.
