Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

"That makes so much sense, I'm speechless."

However, given the three goddess AI's carefree and lively nature, they might actually prefer to be attached to this figure.

Next, Narcissus laid out Chinese candlesticks and yellow paper, Western crosses and wine, and Japanese inari knots... The pile of these items belonging to different religions on the ground was enough to start a fight between believers of different religions.

Narcissus, however, seemed used to it: "Alright, that's all for the ritual items. Next up is the Kagura dance that the horse girl will offer to the three goddesses."

"Huh? Dance? The shrine maiden's sword dance... I've seen it once, and I think I can replicate it."

"You think you can replicate a sword dance just by watching it once? You still haven't memorized the Whirlwind Dance and Rainbow Dance that I taught you..."

"That's how it is with Warhorse Girls, I guess, you have to understand..."

"But the Kagura dance offered to the three goddesses is not dancing in the ordinary sense; it's running. The Kagura dance that Uma Musume offered to the three goddesses is running."

Upon hearing this, Fei Tu Hu Po subconsciously looked down at her legs and feet, especially the cast on her left foot. Recently, perhaps because she tends to move around a lot in her sleep, and because the cast has been in use for quite some time, some cracks have appeared on it.

For this reason, Fei Tu Hu Po even wrapped some more bandages on it to reinforce it.

Although Uma Musume's healing ability was surprisingly strong, Hitoko felt that her left foot was fine...

But the doctor said one week! So it has to be one week! I must listen to the doctor, and it's absolutely not something I can do by continuing to play the violin and walk around on my own.

Fei Tu Hu Po looked at Narcissus, "Nana, you know I have a cast on my leg, right?"

"Of course, but it doesn't matter at all. The main purpose of going through one lap is to let the three goddesses know that you have completed the offering ceremony while wearing this outfit, and ask them to help you... As for how you went through one lap, that doesn't matter. You can't say that the three goddesses cut you off because the priestess danced badly or went into battle injured, can you?"

“That makes sense… So, if that’s the case,” Hitoko Amber glanced at Kotobuki Toru beside her, “then it’s okay if I bring someone along, right?”

"It should be fine... From what I know, there was a horse girl named Meguro Ardan who crossed the finish line in a wheelchair, and she was blessed just like that."

"Wow!" With Narcissus's assurance, Hitotsu Kohaku felt much more at ease and waved to Kotobuki Toru: "Toru, would you please accompany me for another walk?"

Qin Chui looked around, and thanks to her big-mouthed tutor, she would send messages and take photos in the group chat whenever there was any news. In just a short while, classmates and group members all came to join in the fun.

Everyone hasn't even found a racehorse girl yet, and now they've directly participated in the blessing ceremony for the racehorse girl's final outfit...

Will I still be able to sit at the table at the graduation dinner? Will I still be able to take photos with everyone at the graduation ceremony?

But the instructor didn't care about any of that. He slapped Kotobuki Toru on the back and, with the strength he had developed from years of wrestling with horse girls, pushed Kotobuki Toru away without giving him a chance to refuse. "Hurry up and set an example for everyone."

"All right……"

Kotobuki sighed helplessly and walked slowly toward the center of the track. The radiant Hitoko Amber, as beautiful as a spider lily, said, "Then let's go. I'll walk one more lap with you."

"Huh? This blessing from the final battle outfit can't be obtained by walking..."

Hitotsu Amber winked at Kotobuki Toru, smiling brightly, "Perfect timing, haven't you been concerned about my right foot these past few days? Let you experience it for yourself."

Kotobuki Toru was startled, sensing the impulsive urge in Hitoko Amber's words, and panicked a little: "Hey... your cast should be removed in the next couple of days, there's no need to rush."

“No, now’s the perfect opportunity… Come on, come on.” Hitoko didn’t give Kotobuki a chance to back down. She took a light step forward, then reached out and pressed herself tightly against Kotobuki’s side, holding him firmly around the waist.

Kotobuki Toru could clearly feel Hitoko's ribs and soft breasts gently bumping against his chest. Previously, the two had always walked together supporting each other, but this time... Hitoko seemed to have switched to a three-legged race.

After moving her body slightly to confirm that it was indeed easier to move around now, Hitotsuki nodded to Kotobuki: "Now, you hold onto me too, okay?"

"Arrest? Arrest where?"

"Your waist...where else would you like to grab?"

Kotobuki Toru didn't really want to grab anything, but since Hitoko Amber was already prepared, he could only follow suit and reached out to put his arm around Hitoko Amber's waist.

“Hey, 2000 meters, turn right…” Fei Tu Hu Po looked at the turn ahead, “You said we’d start, so let’s begin.”

"Okay, but... slow down a bit." Kotobuki Toru swallowed nervously, then said, "Start!"

In an instant, Kotobuki Toru felt a powerful force acting on his waist, an impact that probably even the push-back feeling of a top-of-the-line supercar couldn't compare to...

"My back!" Kotobuki cried out.

But in reality, the two weren't running very fast... Hito Kohaku was very measured and kept up with Kotobuki Toru's pace, moving forward at a jogging rhythm.

Kotobuki Toru knew perfectly well that if Hitokohaku really ran at full speed like a racehorse girl, with that terrifying power, her hip bones would probably be completely destroyed... Judging from the way Hitokohaku took care of her pelvis, she was quite thoughtful.

"Wow, you scared me to death... I thought you were going to take me flying."

"Want to fly?"

"I don't want to." Kotobuki Toru shook his head: "I'm just a mere human, how can I keep up with you guys?"

"Trash fish, trash fish!"

"Uh, it's not like you weren't like that before... You betrayed humanity so quickly?"

"It's so much more fun not being human!" Hibiki Amber chuckled. "From now on, please treat me like a horse girl!"

"I'm the trainer, I've always treated you like a horse girl..."

"No, I don't think so."

"Where is it not? Tell me..."

"I won't say anything, we're done!" Fei Tu Hu Po grabbed Qin Chui Tou's waist and led him to the first right turn.

Looking at the right turn, Fei Tu Hu Po sighed, "Before, when I turned right, I would instinctively reduce the force of my right foot because my instincts still thought I was human. But now, my instincts and my thoughts seem to have been updated."

Kotobuki Toru did not deny Hisako's statement: "When I watched you go up and down the stairs, I could also see that... it was indeed much smoother."

"That's nothing at all!"

Fei Tu Hu Po chuckled softly, and as she spoke, she pulled her zither and fell towards the turn of the track.

"Eh!"

Blowthrough was terrified, thinking that Scarlet Amber had lost her balance and fallen...

But just as he was about to pull Fei Tu Hu Po back, he was surprised to find that Fei Tu Hu Po, in this almost tilted position, was actually maintaining a perfect angle.

Just like motorcycle racers lean their motorcycles when cornering to counteract centripetal force, racehorse girls also lean their bodies as much as possible when running around corners to make their run more stable.

60 degrees is the optimal angle for Uma Musume when cornering at high speed... and it's also the angle at which Hitokohaku's right foot is currently twisting.

Although their current posture looks like the death of the swan in a traditional dance, Kotobuki Toru holds Hitoko Amber's waist and makes her fall down, forming a graceful twisting motion.

But Kotobuki Toru, one of the parties involved, was filled with amazement—on the surface it seemed like he was holding hands with Hitoko, but in reality, this horse girl was able to maintain this angle on her own, jogging with him, simply by relying on her own powerful core strength and amazing ankle flexibility.

Kotobuki Toru, while shocked, didn't hold back his praise: "You never dared to do a turn like that before... but now you can do it."

"Yeah, after so much training and wearing corrective shoes for so long... it has to have some effect! It's just that all that effort hasn't shown up yet... all I need is a small breakthrough."

Kotobuki nodded in deep agreement. A horse girl's change and breakthrough often just needs a trigger, and the experience of falling down last time was probably the trigger that Hishiko Amber encountered.

But Kotobuki Toru always had a feeling... that the fall last time brought about changes in Hitoko Amber that were not just instinctive changes, but also seemed to have changed her mindset.

As for what has changed... Kotobuki Toru only feels that the current Hitsukoha seems to have become cuter, more clingy, and even more alluring.

Especially the allure they sometimes exude unintentionally, coupled with their completely unguarded demeanor... it's enough to constantly tempt people to have impure thoughts.

Kotobuki Toru didn't know what feelings were called liking and loving, but he did know... that the time he spent with Hitoko was truly happy.

Sometimes, when Kotobuki Toru wakes up in the middle of the night and looks at Hisako Amber curled up beside him, he even feels an urge to pull her into his arms.

The thought of what might happen if Hitokohaku graduated in the future, and the two parted ways, with Hitokohaku going through a period of life where she didn't exist made Kotobuki Toru feel a little sad.

Of course... this matter is easy to resolve, but the solution is somewhat unfair to his good brother, Hitotsu Amber, and also goes against their previous agreement, since they had made a promise back then...

Make sure you don't fall in love with the other person.

------

Kotobuki Toru was in good physical condition; he ran the two-kilometer distance in about seven minutes while holding Hitoko Amber.

After crossing the finish line, the instructor and the students applauded and cheered. But besides the applause and cheers, Qin Chuitou could also faintly smell a sour smell... mostly emanating from his classmates.

But these are not the point!

Kotobuki Toru looked at Hitokohaku and the final outfit she was wearing, "Is this... alright?"

Scarlet Amber was also looking forward to it, and looked at Narcissus.

Narcissus then pointed to the three goddess figurines beside him: "Just bow to the statue of the three goddesses."

Upon hearing this, Fei Tu Hu Po immediately bowed to the statue of the three goddesses with a tense yet devout expression, her slender waist and rounded hips taut like a fully drawn bow.

Following social etiquette, Hitoko bowed for three seconds and then slowly stood up.

Immediately afterwards, under everyone's watchful eyes, the crimson dress on Fei Tu Hu Po's body seemed to be ignited, suddenly emitting a crimson light that was so dazzling that everyone present couldn't help but close their eyes.

"Wow, so sparkly!"

"Is that a flashbang?"

"This... must be the blessing of the three goddesses, right?"

When everyone opened their eyes again, the dazzling red light had gradually faded, and the remaining light flickered on the body of the Scarlet Amber.

Narcissus, unfazed, chuckled and said, "Congratulations! This is the effect after the Blessing of the Finale is complete... Amber, do you notice anything different?"

"Different? It seems to fit better."

Fei Tu Hu Po also stood on tiptoe, constantly checking her clothes to see if there had been any changes. "It seems... a bit cooler?"

"Wait a minute! Why did the fabric on my legs disappear?"

"So this is what the three goddesses modified for you... Sure enough, a few more slits here on your legs make you even sexier..."

"Then, can this still be broadcast?"

"You'll find out when you go to the Satsuki Sho! Everything's ready now, good luck at the Satsuki Sho! Girl!"

Chapter 295 Satsuki Sho Press Conference

A few days later, a press conference was held regarding the Satsuki Prize.

Just as capital values ​​money most, the media values ​​traffic most. As long as there is enough traffic, they will do whatever is most popular.

With her looks and figure, Fei Tu Hu Po is undoubtedly a nuclear weapon in this appearance-obsessed world.

Moreover, the final outfit worn by Fei Tu Hu Po was approved by the three goddesses, who even thought it wasn't sexy enough.

The three goddesses all said "yes," so who can say no?

As a highly anticipated top-tier G1 race, the Satsuki Sho will naturally have a press conference held before the competition to showcase the spirit and competitive state of each racehorse girl, and incidentally, to display the winning outfits that the racehorse girls will wear in this race.

So, at the pre-match press conference, the cameramen practically wanted to film Hitotsu Amber from every angle.

Sapporo TV is focusing on filming Hitokohaku, aiming to showcase its beauty and attract more tourists to visit and take photos.

Hokkaido TV focused its camera's attention on Hitoko Amber's chest, for a simple reason: only in the mountainous, valley-and-hilly Hokkaido could such a perfectly proportioned horse girl be bred, as if by divine craftsmanship.

Meanwhile, TV Tokyo... TV Tokyo is broadcasting anime with laughter and joy. Today, they're airing Kemono Friends 2 and Solar Dolls back-to-back. You could say the viewers are in for a treat.

At the interview site, the interview with Hitoko Amber and her first battle outfit were underway. On the one hand, the reporters were taking pictures of her top-notch looks and figure from various angles as required, and on the other hand, they were intentionally or unintentionally guiding the topic toward Hitoko Amber's trainer, Kotobuki Toru.

What are the professional qualities of a journalist? In addition to asking the questions that people want to know during daily Q&A sessions, they also need to conduct relevant research before the interview so that they can ask some interesting but surprising questions that people don't know.

Therefore, everyone did their homework before coming, and did a great deal of research on Uma Musume, as well as the background, personality, and preferences of the Uma Musume trainers... After all, reporters are sometimes contemptuously referred to as paparazzi.

But this deeper investigation revealed a surprising discovery: Hitotsu Amber, an orphaned horse girl of unknown origin, whose background is shrouded in mystery... she seems to have only recently appeared in this world.

So much so that even professional journalists who can help Black people find their fathers couldn't determine which lineage Hitsu Amber belonged to.

Not only Hitoko Amber, but when everyone started digging deeper into Kotobuki Toru, they unearthed something incredible... Although searching for the name Kotobuki Toru online didn't yield any results, everyone had their own "channels." After asking around among acquaintances and superiors, they received a terrifying answer.

This Kotobuki... is actually the heir of a top-tier conglomerate, the Kotobuki Conglomerate, who has hardly ever appeared in public!

This is absolutely explosive news!

She ran away from home as soon as she came of age to support herself, and even passed the entrance exam for Central Teresa on her first try, leading the mysterious horse girl to an undefeated record and becoming the number one seed in the Satsuki Sho...

Handsome, rich, independent, and outstanding—in the entertainment industry, he'd be the dream material for countless young girls. But in the financial industry… just the abilities Kotobuki Toru has shown so far are enough to send the Kotobuki Group's stock price soaring.

The reporters who uncovered this news were so excited they almost had brain hemorrhages! This headline was enough to sustain them for a lifetime.

Then...then everyone received a letter from the Kotobuki Foundation's external relations department, a letter bearing the personal seal of the CEO, Shinichi Kotobuki.

They were very polite in their words, saying that Kotobuki Toru is still studying and has his own path to follow, and currently has no connection with the Kotobuki Foundation, and hoped that the reporters would be careful with their statements.

Discussing trainers and racehorse girls is fine, but don't involve their families and backgrounds, and don't undermine the purity and fairness of racehorse racing... Just watch the races quietly and enjoy the show.
