Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

This is just from scaring her to tears and it has such a beautiful effect... If you were to make Fei Tu Hu Po cry in other ways, I really don't know how powerful this enchantress would be.

Besides, it's unlikely that Hitotsu Amber would actually be taken away by someone else, especially another man.

"Ouch, it hurts! TouTou, what are you doing?"

Kotobuki Toru suddenly snapped out of her reverie and realized that she had accidentally pinched Hitoko Amber's cheek hard...

Kotobuki Toru quickly withdrew his hand: "Ahem, I was just helping you clean it up. I guess you probably don't know that salt left on your face can damage your skin."

"You still haven't answered me... I mean, how's your paper coming along?"

"Actually, the framework is already set up." Kotobuki Toru sat next to Hitoko Amber. "But the main content and textual evidence still need to be supplemented... The word count is not enough, the text volume is not large enough, and my experimental analysis is still missing. If we proceed step by step, work overtime, or pull an all-nighter, we can still get it done."

Hitotsu Kohaku didn't quite understand, and Kotobuki Toru was the kind of graduate student who worked on a thesis with his advisor... Their academic qualifications were two levels apart, so if she wanted to help, she would only make things worse by massaging his waist and legs.

"Can your body handle it?"

"We have to hold on even if we can't, but this isn't the first time we've done this."

Kotobuki smiled, feigning composure, and glanced at the large box beside Narcissus's legs. "The first draft of the clothes has arrived? I'll go get a meal first, and then we'll go sit in Xuanyuan XIV's activity room for a while."

Seeing Kotobuki Toru getting up to go to the cafeteria, Hitobuki Amber quickly reached out and pressed down on Kotobuki Toru's shoulder, "I'll get it for you! You've been working so hard, it's no problem for me to run an errand for you!"

Before Kotobuki could reply, Hitoko Amber dashed off towards the cafeteria and returned a few minutes later.

"Eat up, eat up! I was worried it would get cold, so I hid the steamed buns and everything under my clothes!"

Narcissus raised his hand in protest: "Hey! You just served it directly to me! Aren't you afraid that eating cold food will cause me to suffer from menstrual cramps?"

"You don't have any!"

The second update is here!

Please please please!

There should be a third update...

Chapter 222 Going back to your parents' home, huh? (Bounty 23)

Kotobuki Toru was enjoying the large steamed buns with great relish. The chef at Central Treson was absolutely superb; the meat juices were fresh and delicious, with a rich soy sauce flavor. Plus, the buns were wrapped in Hitotsu Amber, giving them a youthful quality.

After eating a large steamed bun and a mouthful of hot porridge, Qin Chuitou's mental state improved significantly. Indeed, people need to eat!

To display her inexplicable "femme fatale" demeanor, Narcissus would scoop up her porridge with a spoon and drink it in small sips, as if afraid of smudging her lipstick and lip gloss. She did the same when eating steamed buns. Normal people would hold the steamed buns and bite into them directly, which is both clean and carefree. But Narcissus insisted on breaking the steamed buns in half to eat them.

Narcissus, seemingly unconcerned by the strange looks from Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru, explained, "This is my technique. I can finish a meal without even needing to touch up my lipstick. Can anyone else do that?"

Hitoko and Kotobuki exchanged a glance and asked themselves honestly if they could really do such a thing. Like most boys, Kotobuki didn't like to put anything on his lips, and Hitoko was the same way—he usually liked the feeling of going out without makeup and being carefree. Unfortunately, Central Teresa's training requirements for idols didn't allow Hitoko to be so leisurely. Not only were there dance classes, but makeup was also a required course for Uma Musume Girls.

Even during student assemblies at Central Tresson, the Tresson administration requires the female students to wear light makeup. The purpose of this is to prepare them for potential press conferences and street interviews. As the saying goes, it's always good to have more skills. The female students may not need to wear makeup, but they can't be without it.

Seeing that neither of them had the courage to retaliate, Narcissus took control of the conversation and even began to instruct Hitotsu Amber in her madam-like tone: "Tou boy, you'd better study hard. All these years of hard work are for graduation... Only after you graduate and become a big shot will I be willing to send little Amber away."

Hitotsu Amber quickly waved her hand awkwardly. With Narcissus's tone and aura, if she didn't refute him, she would really look like a courtesan from the Edo period waiting for a man to redeem her. "I'm not something that can be given away! Nor am I someone that can be bought with money!"

"Quite principled, huh?" Narcissus licked her nails, which were painted with henna. "Little Amber, I'll give you an annual salary of fifty million yen. How about you come work for me? You don't need to do anything else, just lend me a hand and agree with what I say."

"I've already said, this isn't about the money!" Hibiki Amber first bared her teeth to express her objection, then counted on her fingers in shock, "Fifty, fifty million yen a year? Just to be a lackey? Nana, are you kidding me again!"

“I never lie,” Narcissus chuckled. “I am one of Venus’s chief designers. My power is not great, but it is not small either. Do you want to know how much Venus pays me each year? Oh no… I don’t remember the exact figure. So, little Amber, do you want to know how many digits Venus pays me each year?”

"I won't listen, I won't listen, oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

With her hands raised above her head in a cute and adorable gesture, her long, velvety ears were pressed into two soft crescent moons under her fingertips, carefully hidden among her crimson hair. This signature gesture not only covered her hearing organs, but also seemed to be building a barrier to isolate herself from the real world—to express that she didn't want to hear anything.

Fei Tu Hu Po had seen glimpses of the world of the super-rich and those with top incomes online... Just a fraction of their bank account balances were numbers she could never even dream of.

But when I see these numbers online, I just treat them as a joke; such people are too far removed from my own reality.

If she were to meet such a person in real life, face to face, and witness that terrifying income, especially if that person were her good friend or trusted mentor, Fei Tu Hu Po felt that her worldview would collapse.

Of course, it is an indisputable fact that Narcissus is very rich, and Hibiki Amber also fully believes that Narcissus's income is higher than she can imagine. But sometimes humans are such strange and easily self-hypnotized creatures.

As long as you don't see the truth with your own eyes, and as long as you don't shatter the last layer of illusion, you can always pretend that you know nothing!

Seeing that Amber really didn't want to listen, Narcissus waved his hand dismissively, "If you don't want to listen, then don't listen... Actually, I'm not really interested in money anyway."

"With such a high salary, of course you can say things like that!"

"That's not true, little Amber. You have to remember that the richer people in the world are, the more they value profit... Some rich people actually value feelings a lot."

"Why are you telling me this?"

“What if you meet a rich person in the future?” Narcissus patted the crumbs of the large steamed bun in his hand and stretched. “So boring, so boring. I heard from Teacher that your Xuanyuan XIV team has a big stage in the rest room? Take me to see it… I haven’t had time to teach you dancing, Little Amber, so I’ll give you some pointers.”

"Huh, now?"

"Yes... because I estimate that you might not have time to come to me for dance lessons for a while."

Although Narcissus said that he asked Hitotsu Amber to help him lead the way, his familiar steps did not seem like it was his first time in Central Treisen. He must have designed the final outfits for other racehorse girls before, so he had been here more than once.

"Oh? No way, there are still almost two months to go."

"Little Amber, you probably haven't done a graduation defense before, but let me tell you, even a student like Kotobuki Toru who took a long leave of absence still has to go back to school a month in advance to prepare for the graduation defense, such as binding materials and communicating with the advisor. The graduation process for graduate students is not as simple as graduating in Tresson."

This was the first time Hishiko had heard such a statement. Of course, she hadn't gone to university either. To verify the truth of Narcissus's words, Hishiko turned to look at Kotobuki Toru behind her: "A month in advance... So Toru, you're going back to Sapporo in April?"

Kotobuki Toru nodded: "Yeah, that's right. Graduation defense is such an important thing, I can't just wait until the day to go back, can I? Besides, there's the graduation ceremony and stuff, I need to prepare in advance!"

Hitoko immediately raised her hand: "Then I'll go back too! It'll be a good opportunity to go back to Sapporo and take a look!"

Narcissus gave him a "just as I expected" look: "I told you you were going back to your parents' home, didn't I?"

"certainly not!"

Bonus chapter is here!

Please, please, please, please!

mwah

Chapter 223 I think I can be your help!

Inside the activity room of Xuanyuan XIV.

"Let's stretch her legs first. Kotobuki trainer, go and help Hitoko Amber hold her feet down."

"Still pressing?"

"Three minutes on stage requires ten years of practice off stage. If you want to be a dancer for life, you have to stretch your legs for life."

Since it was Narcissus's job, Kotobuki Toru obediently followed orders. Having been training partners with Hitsuko for so long, Kotobuki Toru wasn't shy at all. He neatly and efficiently sat on Hitsuko's instep, pressing her instep flat and taut.

Hitotsu Amber also stretched out her other leg, and her two long legs, each nearly a meter long, extended into a beautiful arc, which looked spectacular from Kotobuki Toru's angle.

It is said that the most difficult and painful part of learning to dance is the leg-pressing stage at the beginning. However, from Kotobuki Toru's observation, Hitoko Amber has never had any hardship since she started practicing dance. Her body is as flexible as a snake. She can bend over backwards with ease, and she can comfortably fall asleep while pressing her legs. She can even stretch herself into a bow shape when she does the splits. Even Narcissus often marvels that she is a natural-born dancer.

However, Kotobuki Toru felt much more at ease... If Hitoko had to practice leg presses and back bends little by little, the pain during training would probably make this little crybaby cry her eyes out.

"By the way, Amber, do you really want to come back to Sapporo with me? You still have the Satsuki-sho event in mid-to-late April."

Since Kotobuki Toru was sitting very close to Hitoko, he continued their conversation about the topic they hadn't finished earlier. "The Satsuki Sho is a G1-level competition. If you can stay in Central Tereson to train, you can also spar with Toona, Takano, and Shunichi in the team, and have friendly training sessions. If you go to Sapporo, you'll basically miss out on such good training conditions."

Hitoko also knew that if she went to Sapporo with Kotobuki Toru, as a racehorse girl from Central Treson, she would naturally be able to use the training facilities in Sapporo Treson for free. In fact, the local teachers and trainers would even take the initiative to invite her, or even invite her to run and train in a grand manner.

This is probably what is known as the "top student effect." As long as you are a top student or a student from a prestigious school, you will be more popular wherever you go... The only downside is that in Sapporo, there may not be any horse girls who can run friendly training with you. Without strong opponents, the training efficiency of the horse girls will be reduced accordingly.

However, that's not a problem. The first thing I need to solve during this period is the issue of poor right turns, which is a negative skill and has nothing to do with friendship training.

So Fei Tu Hu Po waved her hands and shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine training on my own. It'll be good to see if the local Treson can help me arrange food and lodging if I go to another place."

"What's the point of trying this... Are you really that insecure?"

"Well~" She didn't deny Kotobuki Toru's words, and stuck out her little tongue coquettishly: "I won't feel at ease if I don't try it myself, and if I go back to Sapporo with you, I can help you out when I have time. Wouldn't you feel more at ease then?"

"That training..."

"Isn't there you? For the training program of Uma Musume, the racehorse girl and the trainer are the two most crucial links, right? You can just give me on-site guidance! It saves me the trouble of wasting phone bills."

Kotobuki Toru thought for a moment and nodded slightly. Having someone by his side to help him, even a minor character like Hitoko Amber who wasn't actually that useful, was enough to give him a lot of motivation.

Seeing that Kotobuki Toru had finally agreed to her suggestion, Hitoko Amber was overjoyed and continued with a smile, "Besides, I've never been to a top university's graduation ceremony before. This is a perfect opportunity to see just how grand it is! I heard there's even a graduation dinner, an all-you-can-eat buffet and stuff..."

"Isn't this your main purpose?"

Kotobuki looked at Hitoko, whose face was already full of anticipation. It was said that many wonderful things would happen or be about to happen during graduation season.

Hopefully, Hitotsu Amber will also encounter beautiful memories by then.

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

With Narcissus's help, Amber thoroughly reviewed and deepened her dance training. Soon, it was time for her appointment at ten o'clock.

Around the same time, Kotobuki also arrived "coincidentally," hugging Hitoko and rubbing her until she whimpered. After enjoying petting the fox, she started clamoring to go check out the AR area together.

So the four of them headed to the training facility equipped with AR devices.

"Ugh... I feel so nauseous, the world is spinning."

Upon arriving at the venue, everyone saw a mischievous racehorse girl with blue twin ponytails staggering out, leaning against the wall.

Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru are quite familiar with this horse girl. She often mocks the noblewoman for no reason. After the noblewoman gets angry, she cleverly hides behind Takanojo Shunichi and makes faces at everyone. She is a devilish little sister type of racehorse girl and the youngest of the three Takanojo Shunichi sisters - Kyoshi.

However, today's Qiangji didn't have the mischievous demeanor he usually had, always ready to play pranks or make sarcastic remarks to everyone he met. His beautiful eyes were filled with dizziness, and even his hand holding the wall was trembling, as if he had experienced something terrible.

"Hey, Kyo! Are you alright?" Kotobuki Toru, as the trainer, was concerned as soon as she saw that the racehorse girl wasn't feeling well: "Should we call the infirmary?"

"No... I'm fine!" Qiangji forced himself to stand up, putting on a fake smile.

But three seconds later, she slumped against the wall again: "I was just a little dizzy from the special effects on the AR track. It was my first time experiencing it, and I haven't fully gotten used to it yet!"

"If you didn't stare at the light source of the AR device, you wouldn't feel this dizzy..."

At this moment, Dali Arabia's projection also appeared around everyone. The AI ​​of the Three Goddesses was speechless. "I already said that the amount of information in the projection device's lens is too much, and the horse racer's brain can't analyze it... but you still insisted on staring at it. If Venus's projection device hadn't been updated to a visible light source, you would have been blinded by the light by now."

"Oh, I just wanted to give it a try."

After criticizing the strong attack, Dali Arab turned his attention to Amber: "Hey, Amber, we've been waiting for you! Please come in! The track's grass will be ready soon!"

-----------

The first update is here!

Please, please, please, please!

It's Thursday today, but I still have to work and study for three more days.

Norwegian holiday, isn't that amazing!

Chapter 224 has been automatically switched to a user-friendly system.

"Sister Amber, are you going to try out the AR track too? Is this your first time back?"

Upon hearing that Fei Tu Hu Po was going to train on the AR track, Qiang Ji, who had been feeling dizzy, suddenly stopped feeling dizzy and gagging... He instantly came back to life, his face full of excitement, and his eyes started sparkling.

"Would it be convenient for me to go in and take a look? To see if you've thrown up... oh no, as someone who's been there, I'd like to share my experience with you or something?"

"Eh... You want to come watch too?" Hibiki Amber tilted her head and thought for a moment. "But today I'm not just going to experience the AR track, I also have to try on the sample of the final outfit..."

"Eh? Amber? Your final outfit? I need to see it even more now!" Qiangji was even more excited now, almost jumping up and down with excitement: "In all these years, I've never seen a horse girl as hot as you, Amber... oh no, I've never seen such a gorgeous horse girl as you, Amber! I definitely want to see your final outfit!"

As expected of Ma Niang, who comes from a well-off family, Qiang Ji was proactive and enthusiastic, but she didn't forget that the most important aspect of interpersonal communication is reciprocity.

So, Qiangji readily offered his little gift to Fei Tu Hu Po: "My sister, Gao Shang Jun Yi's final outfit is also finished! I'll send you a picture of it!"

Fei Tu Hu Po was dumbfounded. This little sister is really smart... She never loses out in business, and she's really good at tricking her own sister.

As Gao Shangjunyi's good friend, Fei Tu Hu Po absolutely cannot sit idly by and do nothing about this!

"Deal!" Without any hesitation, Fei Tu Hu Po reached out and grasped Qiang Ji's small hand. The two held hands and reached an agreement: "Just send me the phone in a bit!"

"Hehe~ I knew Amber was a straightforward person."

Then, an even larger crowd marched into the venue.

As she walked through the entrance corridor, Fei Tu Hu Po was filled with anticipation. She thought that with such powerful AR and cool special effects, the venue should be full of cyberpunk technology, and there might even be some giant robots acting as security guards.

But once inside the venue, Fei Tu Hu Po's face immediately fell, and her original expression of anticipation and excitement turned into a calm one tinged with disappointment.
