Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

"As you know, Miss Kotobuki is a decisive and strong horse girl, and I believe that is the most suitable quality for you, Mr. Kotobuki. So, please let me see your courage and strength!"

The scarred-faced man waved his hand, "Perfect timing, our company has an archery dojo or something, so please show us your skills, Miss Amber."

Upon hearing this, Kotobuki Toru was delighted. Just a few days ago, Hitoko had demonstrated her skill of shooting the halberd at the gate. Even top-tier horse girls could only manage that kick!

Logically speaking... in this era of information technology and the popularity of social media, that video of Hitotsu Amber should have been trending on social media by now. How come this uncle still doesn't know about Hitotsu Amber's fame?

So Kotobuki Toru quietly asked Hisako Amber, "What about that video of you shooting arrows with your feet? If you posted it... it should have at least 100,000 views by now, right?"

"Don't even mention it..." Upon hearing this, Fei Tu Hu Po's face darkened, and she frowned helplessly, saying, "I sent it out... and then three minutes later, the account was immediately banned, saying that it contained obvious inducement and suggestion, and showed parts that should not be shown, but I didn't do anything like that at all."

"Uh, I think you should be used to being banned by now..."

Hibiki Amber gritted her teeth even more: "I can understand if they banned me, that's because the administrator is biased against me, but Central Treson saw my feat and wanted to use me for publicity... and then Central Treson's account was also taken down! How can I face Senior Oguri Hat like this?!"

"Oh, I see... No wonder all the colleagues in the publicity department have gone on vacation lately..."

This is the power of Hitotsu Amber. An official account with tens of millions of followers can be burned without warning!

---------

The first update is here! Please, please, please, please!

Chapter 268 This little colt will definitely be frightened by the statue of Guan Yu!

On her way to the archery dojo, Kotobuki Toru opened the official account of the Japanese Treson again. By this time, the Treson account had been unblocked.

Moreover, Central Treson was quite assertive; after the platform ruthlessly deleted the video introducing the Scarlet Amber, Central Treson subsequently released a new video.

The video content hasn't changed much, except that this time a shadow puppet-like effect has been added, using black and white color scheme and masking effects, so that only the figure's exquisite body curves and movements can be vaguely seen.

This time, without Fei Tu Hu Po's face, the system approved it directly. But humans are not AIs after all. The biggest difference between humans and AIs is that humans have a strong ability to fill in the gaps in their understanding. The more something is covered up, the more humans will fill in the gaps in their understanding.

Therefore, this kind of "shadow puppetry" that only leaves black and white light and shadow looks more invigorating...

However, this "shadow puppet" had only been posted for a short time and had not yet attracted much attention, especially since this scarred-faced uncle had no idea of ​​Hitotsu Amber's strength and led everyone to the archery dojo.

The archery dojo in the construction company mainly caters to the company's martial arts-loving, thuggish older men, and is naturally quite different from the archery dojo in Treson.

The decorations at the Tressen Archery Dojo mainly consist of static objects such as calligraphy, paintings, and flower arrangements.

Upon entering the archery dojo, one is immediately struck by the various ferocious armored suits, tengu masks, and all sorts of distorted and bizarre statues, which suit the interests of this group of muscular men.

The scarred-faced man also took the opportunity to carefully observe the expression on Hitsu Amber's face as she pushed the door open and walked in...

If an ordinary young girl walked in, she would probably immediately show discomfort or even fear. He had seen that panicked look on the faces of business representatives who came to discuss and assess the situation far too many times before.

This is also a negotiation technique. To gain home-field advantage, you need to use the environment to put pressure on the other party in order to gain more benefits in the negotiation.

Even the noblewoman couldn't help but show a hint of panic when she first came to this archery range... So, Hito, let me see your true colors!

"Hey... TouTou, do you think the bloodstains on this armor are real or fake?"

"It's fake. Bloodstains will turn black after a day. Besides, this archery dojo has air conditioning. If it's not cleaned regularly, black sprites will grow there."

"TouTou, do you think it's okay to wear a mask while running a race? If it's okay to wear a mask, if I wear a clown mask like this and suddenly stare at someone... would that give me an extra kind of control skill?"

"This mask is called Karasu Tengu..."

The scarred-faced man was so shocked his jaw almost dropped. He had imagined how this fox-like, alluring girl might react in this situation:

For example, she might scream and cry on the spot, and if she's a little more cunning, she might even cry out in a coquettish voice, pretending to be scared and rushing into Kotobuki Toru's arms, saying things like, "Your Majesty, I'm so scared~ I need to be comforted and hugged to feel better," just like an ancient concubine vying for the emperor's favor.

But now... everything has deviated from his plan.

The girl's face showed no abnormality; the only expression that could be seen was excitement.

If you ignore the fact that what Hito Amber is staring at is an ancient katana from the Warring States period, and what she's reaching out to touch is a real shuriken, the way her eyes are sparkling really makes her look like a little girl who's entered a doll shop.

Such a resolute mind; if only someone from my own company were like that… Unfortunately, that’s impossible. The Kotobuki Group is still my business partner. Poaching from a partner’s company would be completely against the code of honor.

Fei Tu Hu Po, playing her violin with great enthusiasm, circled the field before excitedly returning to the sidelines. She nodded and smiled at the scarred uncle, saying, "Actually, I think we could have come to see this sooner... It's much more interesting than cement and stuff. By the way, can we start now?"

“Yes…” The scarred man paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and boldly and ruggedly took off his suit, revealing a body covered in scars and muscles that could be described as powerful and terrifying.

However, compared to his densely covered tattoos, his muscles and scars seemed less noticeable. Exquisite yet menacing tattoos covered the upper body of the scarred man: a blue dragon on his left arm, a white tiger on his right, and the Black Tortoise, a divine tortoise symbolizing invulnerability to swords, inscribed on his chest.

Then, to Hitsuwa's astonishment, the scarred man turned around...

The figure of the man wearing a green Confucian helmet was revealed on his back. He was heroic and dashing. His phoenix eyes, which were somewhat similar to those of Fei Tu Hu Po, did not appear charming. Instead, they exuded a majestic aura. His long, beautiful beard was full of vigor. He stood on a green dragon and held a sword.

"Wow!" Kotobuki exclaimed in admiration.

Unexpectedly, this uncle had a tattoo of Guan Yu, a legendary general in Chinese history, on his back, depicting him with his eyes open and riding a dragon.

It's worth noting that in the Pan-Asian cultural region, martial arts enthusiasts often worship Guan Yu, and some even get Guan Yu tattoos on their bodies. However, the common saying is "Guan Yu doesn't open his eyes, because if he does, he'll kill people," so most people get Guan Yu tattoos with his eyes closed. But this uncle actually got a Guan Yu tattoo with his eyes open—he's truly a fierce person!

He's really something else!

Fei Tu Hu Po hadn't yet connected all these historical reasons to the fact that tattoos are made by pricking needles one by one, and that this uncle with tattoos all over his body could probably turn himself into sashimi.

"Wow, impressive... Uncle, you can really take a lot of pain..."

"Eh, it's just that it's strong, isn't it?"

Even the seasoned, scarred uncle couldn't hold back this time. You see, the Guan Gong behind you was specially examined by experts who said the resemblance was over 80%. When his underlings saw it, they would immediately close their eyes and bow their heads, showing humility, for fear of being tainted by Guan Gong's aura.

Even the most valiant horsewoman in the entire company—the noblewoman—is no exception.

But what's wrong with this horse? Why does it seem completely unafraid?

“Amber, don’t you… feel anything special?” The scarred uncle emphasized again, “This is Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang.”

"I know, its characteristics are so obvious."

"Didn't you sense any murderous intent... or any evil aura?"

But to my surprise, Hitotsu Amber just gave a soft laugh: "What's there to be afraid of? Not at all! To be honest, I even feel a little friendly towards her."

"Huh? This...this is Guan Yu, the Martial Lord."

"So what? You want him to come and beat me up?"

Fei Tu Hu Po shrugged again, and then, as if she had just thought of something, she quickly walked over to the uncle and said, "Uncle, can I take a picture with you? The Guan Yu behind you is really cool."

"what?"

Before the uncle could react, Fei Tu Hu Po had already walked to his side, bent down slightly, and brought her charming and cute little face close to the statue of Guan Yu, who was full of heroic spirit and murderous intent, and made a cute peace sign.

She made an adorable peace sign, her voice soft and sweet.

"Yay~ Cheese!"

At that moment, the scarred man knew that his boss, the wealthy lady, had indeed lost, and lost completely...

This girl is absolutely ruthless, even more ruthless than most ruthless people, she's a wolf in sheep's clothing!

What's your background? What does your family do? Who were your ancestors?

How dare they interact with Guan Yu like this?!

The second update is here!

Please please please please

Chapter 269 The End, Kotobuki Foundation (6000 words, three chapters combined, bounty 10)

"Nine rings!"

"Nine rings!"

"150 meters, a perfect score!"

Apart from the sounds of the target being reported and the arrow hitting the bullseye, there were no other sounds at the shooting range.

Originally, the archery dojo was bustling with activity. Many middle-aged men, who were taking advantage of their breaks to practice their archery skills, were showing off their skills. The "crackling" sounds of arrows shooting filled the air.

But once Hitotsu Amber stood at the archery position, everyone's attention was drawn to her.

At first, everyone thought this was just another rich girl from a partner company coming to experience life, casually snapping a few photos, and then posting them on social media with the caption "[Today's workout - archery]"—a typical "funny person."

Therefore, employees from several companies who were eager to show off deliberately gathered around Fei Tu Hu Po and shot a few arrows with their bows as if to demonstrate and show off, their faces full of pride.

But their smiles quickly froze on their faces. As Hitotsu Amber fired her first arrow, the entire arena fell silent, and everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment. When she fired the second arrow, everyone took several steps back in unison, their eyes filled with awe. By the time she finished firing the third arrow, the people around her had already silently put away their bows, their eyes fixed on Hitotsu Amber, eagerly anticipating her next performance.

This time, however, Fei Tu Hu Po didn't think about challenging the gate archery or anything like that. She just followed the proper etiquette of archery and shot one arrow at a time.

Finally, it hit the target at 160 meters.

"160 meters, nine, nine rings!"

The judge's voice was filled with surprise, while Hitoko Amber let out a long breath and gracefully assumed the "Zanshin" stance from the eighth section of archery.

With his upright posture and composed demeanor, he resembled a stunning painting, drawing gasps of admiration from those around him, their eyes filled with wonder and fascination.

"The last horse girl this fierce was a noble lady or young lady, wasn't she?"

"Stop joking, how could any lady be as fierce as this young lady? This year's representative from Treson seems even fiercer than in previous years... she even played the violin..."

"Shh, the boss is watching us."

After glaring at his loose-lipped subordinates, the scarred-faced man wholeheartedly applauded Fei Tu Hu Po: "Impressive, impressive... I'll never forget Miss Fei Tu Hu Po's magnificent figure just now. I think no one will ever be able to surpass you."

Following her crammed knowledge of archery, Hitoko slowly drew her bow, bowed to everyone present, and then revealed her original smile: "Well, Uncle, you flatter me too much."

"No, you really are amazing." The scarred man smiled helplessly. "The lady called earlier, saying she wanted to 'give her a little shock,' but now we're not only not able to shock you, we're actually shocked by your archery..."

At this moment, one of the underlings standing next to Fei Tu Hu Po came over and took the longbow from Fei Tu Hu Po's hand. Hearing his boss's words, he nodded and said, "Originally, I was planning to follow the boss's example and get a Guan Gong tattoo or something... but after watching your archery, I suddenly think that getting a tattoo of Miss Fei Tu Hu Po wouldn't be a bad idea."

“That won’t do… My image rights are very expensive.” Fei Tu Hu Po winked playfully and said with a smile.

"I was just saying it casually... Besides, I think you are the most beautiful and charming when you see yourself in person, Miss Hito. I don't think any tattoo artist could replicate your charm."

After these minor incidents, Fei Tu Hu Po's strength has been recognized by this group of martial arts enthusiasts... Once she has gained their recognition, the rest will be much easier!

Upon entering the reception room, after washing her hands, Fei Tu Hu Po handed the wrapped gifts and invitation to the scarred uncle, her tone sincere and earnest.

"Thank you for your long-term support and attention to Uma Musume Pretty Derby and Chuo Treson. Our school will be holding a Spring Cherry Blossom Festival and Treson Open Day soon for our partners to visit and provide guidance... We would like to ask Satomi Sega to send a representative to attend."

"Huh? Satomi?"

Kotobuki Toru also subtly tugged at Hitotsu Kohaku's tail, "Don't just recite the invitation in the order you memorized... Can you be a little more flexible?"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I mixed up the words..." Fei Tu Hu Po quickly scratched her head and laughed foolishly, "Anyway, that's the meaning."

The scarred-faced uncle laughed heartily: "It's alright, it's alright. Miss Amber is quite adorable now."

No wonder she was able to kick out her own wealthy mistress and successfully take her place... She's charming and cute, what man could resist her?

The scarred-faced man carefully took the invitation from Hitoko Amber's hand, checked it carefully, and found that she had not made a mistake with the invitation to the Satomi family. He then nodded in satisfaction: "The head of the family is currently in Hokkaido and cannot receive you in person. I will convey the invitation from Central Tereson as soon as possible. At that time, we will send the best representative of the company to attend."

Seeing that the other party had accepted the invitation, Fei Tu Hu Po finally breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest: "Phew, I finally managed to send out the first one. A good start is half the battle. You're awesome, Hu Po..."

"Haha, Miss Fei Tu, you don't need to be so nervous." The scarred uncle laughed, "Only in our Pan-Asian region do we value personal invitations and showing respect. In Europe, writing a letter or sending an email is enough to invite someone."

"Hey, maybe if you threw me over there in Europe or America, I'd be considered a lady from a respectable family?" Fei Tu Hu Po stroked her chin and fantasized for a moment, then bowed to the scarred-faced uncle: "Well then, uncle, farewell..."

"What farewell?" The scarred-faced man's face hardened as he reached out to stop Fei Tu Hu Po. "In our Pan-Asian circle, attitude is everything. Miss Hu Po, you personally delivered the invitation and even showed everyone such a powerful move. Your actions and attitude are impeccable..."

"As the saying goes, courtesy should be reciprocated. Since your attitude is so thoughtful, we should naturally reciprocate."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"Since we're entertaining guests, we should treat you to a meal."

A longing welled up in Fei Tu's amber-gold eyes, a longing that almost seemed to spill from her lips. "Is... this appropriate?"

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it, especially since you’re the lady’s good friend and roommate.” The scarred man nodded. “It’s only right and proper that I treat you to a meal…”

"Hehehe, that works too. I'm hungry after all this exercise."

Qin Chui was speechless; "Don't make your intentions so obvious, okay?"

"Please, I've already made a reservation." The scarred man led the way, then turned back and asked, "Since this is a business dinner, Miss Amber, may I drink some alcohol?"

"Um...you've tried a little bit?"

"It's alright, just a small taste will do."

The scarred-faced uncle chuckled. Today, he had been outshone by Scarlet Amber on his home turf, so he might as well get his revenge by showing off his drinking prowess!

She's just a little girl, surely she wouldn't get drunk after just one lick?
