Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Kotobuki Toru stared at Hitoko Amber in complete stunned silence... The word "like" is one of the ten most commonly used words in the world, but "I like you" is one of the rarest phrases in the world.

Moreover... these words came from Hitotsu Amber's mouth.

“If we’re just friends… then age and family background can be disregarded.” Hitoko looked at Kotobuki Toru: “But if we want to be lovers, if we want to be family… then ignoring these things is impossible…”

The term "marrying someone of equal social standing"... Fei Tu Hu Po has heard it from people from all walks of life and all social classes.

Commoners, the wealthy, and powerful families... the best choice for marriage is often someone with a similar family background. Especially for powerful families, most marriages don't even need to be based on love; as long as the family background matches and can elevate the interests of both parties, that's the best kind of marriage.

"And I... am all alone, with no property, no family background..."

Hitotsu Amber covered her chest with one hand and took a slight step back: "I originally thought... that I, and my past, were the biggest obstacle. But now I realize that it's not like that. The biggest obstacle... is actually reality."

Kotobuki Toru looked at Hitoko Amber: "You actually thought about all this..."

"Because it's something very important... I want you to be my only family, even if I'm not your only family... But, it seems that's not possible now..."

As she said those words, Fei Tu Hu Po was already standing by the door.

"Eh... Amber!"

"Goodnight, Kotobuki trainer, take good care of yourself..."

"Oh!"

"Miss Ma...you can't run around in the hospital...hey, why are you crying?"

……

The next day, Kotobuki Toru received a resignation application forwarded by the Uma Musume Association. The application only had Hitoko Kohaku's signature, and the reason given was that the Uma Musume's individual abilities were not up to par with the trainer.

A three-month cooling-off period applies to unilateral applications for termination of employment.

At the same time, Kotobuki Toru's phone number was also forcibly blocked.

Upon receiving the application to terminate her position, Kotobuki Toru immediately dragged herself back to her rented small apartment.

Inside the room, the fragrance of Hitotsu Amber still lingered in the air, but all traces of Hitotsu Amber's life had vanished.

The neatly stacked clothes were all taken away, and even the clothes in the laundry basket no longer had the warm feeling of dresses and suits intertwined before... All of Hitoko Amber's clothes were taken away, while Kotobuki Toru's clothes were scattered all over the floor.

“Little Amber came back yesterday completely soaked... and then went out with two suitcases.”

The landlady, who had walked around the room, looked at Kotobuki Toru with some surprise: "I thought Koho was taking clothes to the hospital to stay with you and take care of you."

But looking at Kotobuki Toru's expression now, she realized... things were clearly not as she thought.

Kotobuki plopped down on the ground, her face showing the expression of a guilty elementary school student: "Amber... seems to be leaving me."

"Huh? What have you guys done... everything was fine yesterday."

Kotobuki Toru no longer wanted to hide anything, so he recounted what had happened.

"Oh...so Little Amber always thought you were just an ordinary college student, no wonder." The landlady sighed, "Do you know that when Little Amber was at her poorest, she used to eat scraps of vegetable leaves? If you tell her now...that you're actually one of the richest people in Japan, the first thing a poor person feels when entering the world of the rich is fear, tension, and unease. A poor person like Little Amber would definitely run away..."

Kotobuki Toru picked up one of his shirts and looked at the dried tear stains and snot on the collar... It must have been Hitoko Amber's bodily fluids from yesterday.

"They ran away..." Kotobuki Toru clutched the clothes in her hand, suddenly looking somewhat lost. "What should I do now..."

"If they ran away, go after them... And you call yourself a racehorse trainer? Oh, they ran far away and you gave up? You admit defeat?"

Shinichi Kotobuki, who was following behind Kotobuki Toru, reached out and patted Kotobuki Toru on the back: "You kid... you're not always expecting people to throw themselves at you, are you? Do you even know what it means to pursue a girl?"

"Chasing...girls..."

"However, I suggest you calm down these next few days."

Kotobuki Shinichi glanced at Kotobuki Toru: "You bullied her like that... do you even like her?"

"I……"

Kotobuki glanced at the clothes in her hand.

Many people realize they like someone at the same time they lose that person.

Now... Kotobuki Toru truly understands this sentence.

"I like."

"Not the kind of pity-based, charity-driven affection? Don't think about helping others out of poverty; there's no such thing as helping others out of poverty when it comes to emotions."

"But I just like her..."

Although Hitoko is a completely different existence from ordinary horse girls and ordinary girls.

But Kotobuki Toru couldn't deny it at all: "I just love Hitokohaku!"

"She said she liked me yesterday, but I didn't have a chance to say I liked her back... Even if we are destined to be from two different worlds, I still want to finish what I wanted to say."

Qin Chui Tou turned and walked out.

"Where are you going?"

"Go find amber..."

"Alright, alright, didn't I just say that you two should calm down and reflect on yourselves these next few days?"

Shinichi Kotobuki grabbed Toru Kotobuki: "You've been fooling people for so long, and now they won't listen to anything about Hito and Kohaku... Sometimes people just need to separate and calm down."

Qin Chuitou stopped walking and turned to look at his father.

"Just like these past few years since you ran away from home... I used to get annoyed just seeing you, but after a few years of calm, I've realized my true feelings. I just want you to be happy..."

"Should I go back to the hospital now?"

"You should be thinking about how to persuade Amber to come back... You've been fooling her for so long, do you really think you can just talk her back?"

"Then I..."

"I don't know, it's not like I lied to them and then I'm trying to win them back..."

Sorry for the wait!

Please, please, please, please, please... a combined chapter!

Chapter 317 My Last Dance with Him

For the next two days... everything seemed calm and peaceful.

Although Hitoshi Kohaku blocked him, Kotobuki Toru still followed the schedule and sent Hitoshi Kohaku training suggestions and plans to him every day via his mobile phone.

Although after it was sent... the response from Kotobuki Toru was always a big red exclamation mark.

In a gloomy dormitory of Sapporo Tressen.

In a dimly lit dormitory room of Uma Musume Girls in Sapporo Tressen, a girl with crimson hair lies on a table. Her long hair spreads out like fallen petals of a spider lily, winding down her delicate waistline, exuding a poignant beauty reminiscent of the melancholy of life after the flowers have faded.

Unfortunately, no one could witness this beauty... Fei Tu Hu Po's phone vibrated slightly, and the noblewoman's voice came from the receiver. The screen emitted a faint glow, and the noblewoman's voice came from the phone.

"Hey, Fat Rabbit, you're such a submissive... oh no, so adorable! You sneak around checking other people's messages every night, copy them down, and then block them, right..."

"Of course, it's not that you can't watch it. You can watch it if you want, but don't cry after you watch it. If you want to cry, that's fine... but don't come looking for me. I'm the type who values ​​ability above all else, and I hate seeing people cry... I only answer your calls because you're my friend..."

"Then, what should we do?"

Fei Tu Hu Po lay on the table, muttering softly, "I can't drink... Tou Tou said... the more confused you are, the less you should touch alcohol. Alcohol is for celebrations... no, no, no, it's still Kotobuki Tou, it's still Kotobuki Tou!"

Fei Tu Hu Po started banging her head on the table, trying to drive away the image that kept appearing in her mind.

On the other end of the phone, the wealthy woman said helplessly, "Stop smashing it, stop smashing it... You're already a bit dim-witted, smashing it a few more times will only make you dumber."

"Oh……"

Fei Tu Hu Po pressed her little face against the table, her face covered in wetness. Fei Tu Hu Po couldn't remember whether the stains on the table were from when she accidentally spilled water while drinking, or from when she cried.

"Sigh... In my opinion, men are all weak! As racehorse girls, we have to be the fastest and strongest. Those weak men will only slow us down!"

The wealthy woman on the other end of the phone spoke with conviction, her mind filled with the logic of the strong: "Let me tell you, you're being controlled by your hormones right now. Go for a run, and you'll calm down immediately..."

"I just ran 20 laps of 2400 meters."

"Wow, wow... So you must have felt the joy of running, right? Tell me, can a man bring you this kind of joy?"

"I don't know... If it were more powerful than a finger, maybe it would work..."

"How many times have you secretly tested this... You're hopeless, you little devil... In that case, why don't you just go find Kotobuki Toru?"

“No… Kotobuki Toru, he can find someone better… and he deserves better.” As she said this, Hitoko Amber’s heart still ached. “He could easily find a lover from a better family, someone gentler… couldn’t he?”

The wealthy woman on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time: "From the perspective of exchanging interests, that's certainly true... After all, if Kotobuki Toru could marry a wealthy woman from America, with the intricate relationships between the aristocratic families, and with a little more effort, the Kotobuki Group might actually be able to take over Texas..."

"And I have nothing, I don't know many things, I can't do this, I can't do that... Compared to those noble ladies, I'm utterly useless."

Listening to Amber sighing on the other end of the phone, the lady actually wanted to add something—

That's not quite right. Fat Rabbit, your greatest advantage is your competence... From what I understand, those foreign noble ladies are simply not for humans. As for racehorse girls, those Van Goghs, secretaries, and starfish girls, in terms of looks and satisfying male desires, they can't compare to you, you burnt fox...

But it's no use saying all this now.

As an emotionally resilient woman who has never liked anyone, she's usually fine with pushing Hitoko Amber along and adding fuel to the fire between Hitoko Amber and Kotobuki Toru. But when it comes to such complicated feelings, she's already doing her best not to give bad advice or make things worse.

At this moment, all she can do is remind Fei Tu Hu Po in her career not to let this silly girl waste her most precious career.

"On another note, Fat Rabbit, can you still run in the Japanese derby? Don't lose both your relationship and your career, and end up starving to death on the street..."

"Yes... I still have the match plan and training schedule my trainer gave me... Many people are looking forward to Kotobuki Toru's graduation, and I will never cause him any trouble, even though I can never repay the debt of gratitude... But this is my last farewell gift to Toru..."

"Trainer? Qin Chui Tou? Tou Tou?"

"Boom boom boom!"

On the other end of the phone, Amber the Frosty Rabbit started pecking at the woodpecker again...

The lady was speechless for a moment. "What about after the Japanese derby? Are you just going to keep hiding from Kotobuki Toru like this? This is Japan, you know... Do you think you can hide from the Kotobuki Zaibatsu? And how long can you hide?"

"No, I've already thought about it. After the Japanese derby ends... I'll go to America and never see them again... The materials for applying to be an exchange student, applying to borrow venues and dormitories, were written by my trainer word by word before... Waaah."

"No, stop crying... Although half of the horse is made of water, how come you're the only one with such a high water volume? More importantly... you said you're going to America?!"

On the other end of the phone, Fei Tu Hu Po seemed to have made up her mind: "Never again... Let time heal all wounds... Whether you like it or hate it, once the cooling-off period is over, it will be completely over..."

"Ugh."

The noblewoman clicked her tongue in amazement. This fat rabbit was truly a born runaway! It ran so fast and so far, always riding alone for thousands of miles. She wondered who it took after...

Moreover... this silly roe deer really hasn't seen much of the world. Its limited worldview leads it to believe that once you cross the ocean, your loved ones will be separated by mountains and seas and never see each other again.

But what era are we living in now?

Japan is a small country with many flight routes, making it difficult for private jets to operate effectively. However, international routes might be simpler and faster than domestic flights...

"Sigh... Good luck with the Derby! A young lady from the Golden Family has arrived at Central Treisen. She's been acting like a mad dog lately, so you'd better watch out..."

"Speaking of which, if I went crazy too... would I be able to kidnap Kotobuki Toru?"

"Only smart people drive themselves crazy... You silly deer, you should just give up..."

hang up the phone.

Fei Tu Hu Po, who had been lying on the table, raised her head, her somewhat dim eyes looking at the faint bloodstains on her palm...

It might have gotten from a fall, or maybe I pinched it accidentally, but it's almost scabbed over already...

"I will win the last game..."

Chapter 318 The Golden Master: I Want to Steal Kotobuki

At the pre-match press conference for the Japanese derby, everyone eagerly awaited the appearance of Satsuki Sho champion and top seed Hitoko Haku, to hear her insights on her opponents and capture her every point of view.

After all, at the Satsuki Sho press conference, Hito Kohaku's remarks were incredibly insightful. Even many professional horse racing analysts said that her remarks were worthy of being made by a professional trainer.
