Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

"Wait a minute, Nana, you're talking way too fast! And what's with this quick-release designer? Why does my dress have quick-release features?"

"Isn't this one of your requirements? You want something unique, isn't this unique enough? If it's any more risqué, it won't be able to compete..."

"Why do you also interpret the word 'unique' in this way?"

Hibiko Amber, who was protesting, was pushed directly into the locker room.

Looking at the clothes in her hand, Fei Tu Hu Po could only sigh slightly before pressing the "quick release button" located at the collar.

A rustling sound, occasionally accompanied by the "thump" of something hitting the wall, came from the changing room, along with Hitotsu Amber's exclamation.

"Wow, it's so cool... Wait, is this fabric really that good at dissipating heat?"

"Wow, this openwork design... it's so artistic."

"Tail, where are the holes from the tail... The ventilation holes on the back are almost reaching the base of the tail, aren't they?"

After another round of chaos, Fei Tu Hu Po sat in the dressing room, examining the girl in the huge floor-length mirror.

"Although it's not finalized yet, it's really quite pretty..."

The quick-release knot at the neckline of her upper body wasn't fully tied yet, and she was still holding her top with both hands, but the design of her victory outfit was already complete. Long, tattered skirt ribbons fluttered on the bench, and when spread out, it looked as if she were sitting in a field of spider lilies.

Her long, shimmering crimson hair adorned the fabric, like faint starlight blooming from the tattered fabric of her dress. Her fair and delicate skin, visible beneath her armpits and waist, added a touch of bewitching charm to this "flower of the other shore."

Plus, she was still holding the clothes and hadn't finished putting them on, so the exquisite curves of her shoulders and back were on full display...

Even Fei Tu Hu Po wanted to do something ruthless to her, given how weak she was!

Chapter 230 Give Me Your Hand (Bounty 27)

Hitotsu Amber was still changing clothes in the dressing room, while everyone who had been eagerly waiting was already discussing it outside the dressing room door.

They chattered and babbled.

"Amber's final outfit doesn't have much fabric. Will she really be able to pull it off? I'm actually worried that she'll be shy and hesitant."

"No problem at all, Little Amber has a great figure, especially her hip area. She'll definitely be a great mom in the future!"

"Don't worry, I already know Amber's figure inside and out! Rather, this tailor-made final outfit can only be worn well by a voluptuous horse girl like Amber! A shapely figure is the most suitable wearer for this outfit. If it were a slender horse girl... it would look like she's wearing a bunch of strips of cloth."

"Who's flat-chested! Who are you calling flat-chested! I'm only a tiny bit smaller than Amber, aren't I?!"

"Don't get agitated, Qiangji. I wasn't talking about you."

The crowd instantly erupted into chaos, and just as things were about to get out of hand, the locker room door was slowly and carefully pushed open again.

Everyone fell silent instantly.

The crimson fairy emerged from the room, her face flushed as she peeked out. When her eyes met everyone's, she shyly withdrew her head... looking both bashful and naive. "Um... I don't think I'm ready yet."

The group of people standing in a row froze instantly, but seeing that Fei Tu Hu Po, who had finally managed to push open the door, was about to close it again and retreat... they were also anxious:

"I haven't even seen it yet... why are we going back already?"

"Isn't this too embarrassing? I don't remember ever teaching a child like this before."

"Sister Amber's expression is quite cute."

The women present chattered amongst themselves, criticizing Hitotsu Kohaku, and then retreated in perfect unison, leaving Kotobuki Toru standing there in a daze.

"When a girl is shy, there always has to be a prince who steps up to her."

Narcissus, who had the lowest percentage of females, even subtly nudged the violin with his elbow, saying, "You're the trainer and the only man here, so hurry up and think of a solution!"

Even if Narcissus hadn't said anything, Kotobuki Toru was already planning to go and encourage Hitsukoha... making Hitsukoha more confident was also part of her goal.

Now that everyone present has "wisely" stepped back, I can more legitimately step forward to help Fei Tu Hu Po without being accused of being presumptuous.

So, Kotobuki Toru nervously straightened his collar and walked straight toward Hishiko Amber.

Just then, Hitotsu Kohaku, who was hiding behind the door, was about to close it and go back to mentally prepare herself when Kotobuki Toru's voice came:

“Amber, wait…”

Hitoko looked up and saw Kotobuki Toru walking towards her. She instantly became even more flustered, like a frightened kitten: "Eh, I, I just want to go back and calm down."

It's fine if other people come; they'll probably just tease you in the same way you would with your sisters. If someone like Teacher is bolder, they might even touch your stomach or something... But all of this can be considered as the daily teasing and banter between "good sisters".

Now, it's Kotobuki who's here.

Those are my own brothers, my dearest relatives and friends!

I need to pay more... no, I need to mentally prepare myself!

"Toutou, wait a minute, I'm going back to wash my face. I'm closing the door now, see you in a bit."

In her panic, Hitotsu Amber realized that she should erect the Wall of Her Heart, which meant she should close the door immediately. So Hitotsu Amber quickly reached out and grabbed the doorframe, trying to close the door.

Unfortunately... Kotobuki Toru's speed is even faster, almost like those weirdos in horror movies, always managing to break into the room and elevator just when the protagonist closes the door!

Kotobuki gripped the doorframe, and a gentle voice came from outside, "It's alright, Amber... I believe you can make this outfit look great."

"Woo..."

Kotobuki Toru's grip on the doorframe wasn't very strong; even from a human strength perspective, it could only be described as "lightly pulling it." If Hitokohaku insisted on closing the door, with the horsepower of a racehorse, even if Kotobuki Toru used all his strength, he would have absolutely no chance of twisting Hitokohaku's arm.

However, Hitotsu Amber hesitated... She didn't want to disappoint Kotobuki Toru.

"I...this is the first time I've ever worn a winning outfit like this."

"It's alright, this is my first time appearing with someone else too." Kotobuki chuckled from outside the door, his voice melodious and magnetic.

As Hitotsu Kohaku was still pondering the meaning behind Kotobuki Toru's words, a large, thick hand reached out from behind the door.

The hands were fair and clean, with calluses on the palms and knuckles—the result of years of experience forging iron and holding a pen. Fei Tu Hu Po naturally recognized these hands; they belonged to Qin Chui Tou.

It was these rough, strong hands that, while trimming my hooves and massaging my feet, applied so much friction and a gritty texture that I felt dizzy and saw stars.

Hitotsu Kohaku didn't understand what Kotobuki Toru meant by doing this. She just leaned against the door and asked softly, "Um... Toru, what do you want by putting your hand in here? Hmm... There's only my underwear and sportswear in the room."

"Pfft, you silly roe deer..." Kotobuki Toru outside the door was amused by Hitoko Amber, and shook his hand up and down again as he reached in: "What I mean is, give me your hand. Haven't you ever watched TV dramas or read novels? Those dancers and beauties who are the final performers always put their hands in their male partners' hands and are led to the ceremony."

It took Hitotsu Kohaku a beat to realize that Kotobuki Toru seemed to want to take her hand and pull her out...

The fact that the two sides are holding hands means that they have formed temporary allies for this performance, standing on the same front, sharing both glory and loss.

Of course, this is something that princesses and princes in fairy tales would usually do!

Fei Tu Hu Po's face immediately flushed red. Wait, where did this guy learn all these skills? How come he's so gentlemanly and handsome?

So, should I take advantage of Qin Zhi's willingness to help and go out?

"Believe me, Amber... I will stay with you forever."

Looking at Qin Chuitou's hands, a sense of trust and reliance inexplicably rose in Fei Tu Hu Po's heart.

Just go!

So, Hitotsu Kohaku extended her hand towards Kotobuki Toru.

What happened? How did I become so strong?

Chapter 231 The Decisive Battle

Over the years, Hitotsu Amber has long been accustomed to being accompanied by her shadow. In her heart, she has always believed that she can solve problems on her own, and only small fry would rely on others.

But when Kotobuki reached out her hand, Hitoko's long eyelashes trembled... It seemed that being a small fry wasn't such a bad choice.

Fei Tu Hu Po subconsciously extended her four fingers, her neatly trimmed nails gleaming like mother-of-pearl in the sunlight. This gesture reminded her of the white birds bowing their heads and gently pecking at the water by the Three Goddesses Fountain in winter, a graceful and elegant sight, full of vitality and joy.

Fei Tu Hu Po never expected that someone as uncouth as herself could actually make such a move.

However, Kotobuki Toru didn't seem to intend to end things so hastily. He raised his hand further, and his calloused, rough fingertips precisely pressed against Hitoko Amber's delicate yet curled palm lines.

With a gentle press of his thumb on the first joint of Fei Tu Hu Po's finger, he straightened Fei Tu Hu Po's small, stiff claws. Fei Tu Hu Po could even hear the soft, cracking sound of his joints stretching out, like icicles falling into a soft snowdrift under the eaves in the dead of winter.

Now, Fei Tu Amber Face couldn't utter any more sobs or conflicted sounds; she was completely dizzy and could only wait for Qin Chuitou's next move...

Throughout her life, Hitoko has basically never touched anyone else's hand, let alone signed for something with Kotobuki Toru. Although she has had experiences with leg massages and pedicures, hands... are still different.

Kotobuki Toru stared blankly at the touch of Hitoko Amber's hand, the twelve hand-kissing gestures taught by the etiquette teacher shattering into dust in his memory:

For example, when holding a lady's hand, one should avoid being too tense and stiff, rationally control the strength of the hand, and convey one's aristocratic demeanor and gentleness to the other person through the knuckles, thereby showing respect and care for the woman, and also demonstrating aristocratic elegance and manners, etc.

I don't remember at all!

But now Kotobuki Toru felt that what flowed between his fingers was a cloud of softer material than velvet. If you squeezed it slightly, it would turn into juice that seeped out like fresh cheese. It was so warm that it was almost scalding hot, making you want to use your thumb to explore and savor the deliciousness like a weirdo.

Looking down, one could see that the base of Hitotsu Amber's slender middle finger was adorned with a gold ring used to secure her sleeve. The back of her hand and the area behind her elbow were covered in crimson fabric. A large amount of flowing decorative cloth extended down from Hitotsu Amber's upper arm, spreading out delicately and orderly, like the abundant wings of a bird or the exquisite fins of a swallowtail fish.

Kotobuki Toru continued to pull Hitoko Amber out by the hand, as if trying to drag out a chick that didn't want to leave the nest.

Then, the main theme of the outfit came into view: black leggings, as black as night and as black as mud, wrapped around the girl's long and slender legs, and the red and black runway shoes on her legs had never looked so harmonious.

A red and gold gradient ribbon, resembling a fox's tail, hung low at the feet of Hitotsu Amber. If Hitotsu Amber lowered her body slightly, the long ribbon would trail on the ground.

These tail ornaments, layered together, surprisingly formed a skirt-like effect under the influence of gravity, and looked quite elegant and gorgeous when still.

The black and red colors form a gradient at the hips, and then rise to an extremely eye-catching crimson, like maple leaves at the end of autumn, or like the red foxes that can be seen everywhere on the mountain of Inari Shrine.

Red and white have always been considered sacred and elegant colors in Japan. They are commonly seen in shrine maiden costumes and religious sites such as shrines.

Narcissus also cleverly incorporated this imagery into Amber's decisive outfit, with an opening extending from the sternum to below the navel breaking the monotony of the red. The red clothing contrasted beautifully with Amber's divine skin, which was white.

Instantly, the girl's athletic waistline caught Kotobuki Toru's eye. Her abs were firm yet supple, and her delicate navel formed a beautiful "I" shape. The slightly protruding iliac bone beneath her muscles added a lot of three-dimensionality to the girl.

Further up, just like what Fei Tu Hu Po complained about before, there's an endless supply of fabric.

The girl's rounded shoulders, delicate collarbones, smooth armpits, and full, beautifully curved breasts were all perfectly accentuated by this winning outfit.

Kotobuki Toru stood still and continued to guide Hitoko Amber forward, raising his hand higher and higher, as if he wanted to pull Hitoko Amber into his arms.

Her golden-red "tail" swayed gently with the light, delicate steps of the Scarlet Amber, and her exquisite skin shone brightly in the sunlight.

Even the girls on the sidelines, including Qiangji, were stunned.

Although Qiangji still viewed Hitoko Amber as her sister's rival in love, upon seeing the stunning beauty of Hitoko Amber, she had to admit that even an enemy could not escape her notice.

"Wow...so pretty! She's all shy right now, but what if Amber isn't shy anymore...how sexy and beautiful she'll be!"

Kotobuki was also excitedly tapping her fingertips together. "Wow, as expected... beautiful girls are the best way to enhance a man's charm. The way Tou Tou is holding Kohaku's hand finally makes him look like a handsome man."

Unfortunately, Amber's decisive outfit is still under wraps, and even though she is the owner of Venus, she cannot just take pictures of it and post them everywhere.

Or maybe Kotobuki? I really want to take a bunch of beautiful photos of Hitokohaku, just like Tomoyo Daidouji in the anime Cardcaptor Sakura, and then send them directly to the family group chat.

She gave her husband, that unreliable old man, a good scathing jab: "Old man! Your taste is utterly useless! Your taste is far superior to yours!"

Narcissus, the designer, stood with his hands on his hips, his nose in the air, and his eyes filled with satisfaction and gratification, like a brothel madam watching her daughter one day leave the barn—no, leave home.

"As expected of me! Of course, Kotobuki Toru also deserves a lot of credit! By the way... everyone's out now, how long are you two going to keep leading them around? Kotobuki Toru, move aside! You're disturbing my observation of the little fox!"

The two, who were in a daze, suddenly realized their situation and quickly separated their hands as if they had been electrocuted.

On this point, the two are quite in sync.

Many readers have already noticed that the design concept of the final outfit was inspired by Inori Yuzuriha's outfit from Guilty Crown.

The first update is here!

Have a great Saturday, everyone! =.=
