Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

However, reality hit her like a bucket of cold water. On the day of the press conference, Hitotomi Kohaku took sick leave, and coincidentally... even Hitotomi Kohaku's trainer, Kotobuki Toru, took leave as well.

As a result, no one can get any news about this duo anymore...

But people didn't give up. They believed that if there was no news, they could create one. In addition, according to some doctors, Hitoko and her trainer had appeared at a hospital in Sapporo at the same time.

The reporters then came to the conclusion that—

Going to the hospital is for a checkup, so to put it mildly, you can deduce that Kotobuki Toru and Hitoko Amber are sticking together because they have a cold and went to see a doctor for an IV drip together.

On a grander scale, or even more wildly... Hitotsu Kohaku might already have a child, so Kotobuki Toru accompanied Hitotsu Kohaku directly to the hospital.

After all, Hitotsu Amber is so beautiful, she's practically the apple of every man's eye, and Kotobuki Toru is a hot-blooded young man... it's understandable that he couldn't resist.

Combined with the rumors that the two seem to be living together... it makes even more sense that they've been involved in multiple encounters.

As a result, the reporters in the room made increasingly outrageous guesses, to the point that it didn't really matter whether Hitoe Amber was present or not...

Which reporter understands Scarlet Amber?

Due to the absence of Hitoko Amber, the important interview seat originally reserved for her was unexpectedly given to a previously unknown racehorse girl – Golden Master.

Golden Master is a racehorse girl who looks quite strange. Her initial impression on the media was that she was socially awkward and not good at speaking. Even when she was sitting in the interview box waiting for an interview, she would cover her face with a wide and thick mask, hiding her expression and demeanor. When faced with reporters' interviews and greetings from others, she would at most give a faint "hmm".

Hitotsu Amber lay on the bed, staring at her phone screen at the unremarkable racehorse girl, recalling the noblewoman's earlier serious warning to be wary of this racehorse girl.

I don't quite understand...

"This girl wearing a mask... looks pretty ordinary."

After letting out a sigh that sounded almost like she was underestimating her opponent, Hitotsu Amber quickly shook her head. "No... I can't underestimate her. If it were TouTou... what would she say...? Should I check her stats?"

So, Amber took out her phone again and searched for the name "Golden Master." Soon, the Golden Master's match results appeared—

He won his debut match, then lost miserably, finishing tenth in a G2-level tournament, and was subsequently relegated to G3. He barely managed to get third place in G3... which allowed him to return to G2, and he gradually climbed the ranks by repeatedly switching between these two levels...

It's just like my classmates in high school who were always jumping between Silver and Gold ranks in games.

Is this horse girl really that amazing?

Fei Tu Hu Po yawned, feeling a little sleepy, so she squinted and listened to the reporters' interviews at the press conference as white noise to help her fall asleep.

The Golden Ship's antics, Gao Shangjunyi's silent remarks... as familiar as ever, calm and reassuring.

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, a strange yet confident voice suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap, shattering her drowsiness.

"I'm here to end this Japanese derby!"

"I! The descendant of the Gold Clan, the Gold Master, will defeat Hitsukoha! The key to winning the Japanese derby!"

"Although I don't know what this has to do with Hitoko's trainer... my senior suggested that I should also beat Hitoko's trainer. Excellent trainers are only fit for excellent racehorse girls!"

Fei Tu Hu Po suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on the phone screen, a fleeting glint of ferocity flashing in her eyes.

The goldsmith in the picture has taken off her mask. Her appearance is more like that of a handsome and beautiful woman. The corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, revealing a set of uneven teeth. Just as the noblewoman described, she has a kind of unruly and crazy nature like a mad dog.

The goldsmith's smile was full of confidence and arrogance, as if the whole world was under her control.

This scene is just like those strange anime or comics—when wearing a mask or glasses, she is the quiet and well-behaved class monitor, but when she takes off her glasses... she becomes a completely different, unrestrained persona.

But overall, the Gold Master's remarks were actually quite in line with the stereotypical image of a rich second-generation heir in Scarlet Amber's mind... arrogant and saying whatever he wanted.

Playing the zither so well only makes one seem like an oddball...

Hitoko held the phone in both hands, her golden eyes gleaming with a thoughtful light: "Eh... there really are girls who would take the initiative to approach Kotobuki Toru?"

Even though it was suggested by her family, this girl didn't resist playing the koto at all.

Thinking about it this way... it's actually not so bad, is it?

Hitotsu Amber had just glanced at the information about the Golden Family. According to the results of her search... the Golden Family is also an extraordinary racehorse racing family. They are rich and powerful. Although they don't seem to be normal people... Kotobuki Toru should be able to keep them in check.

Actually, if you look at it from another angle... losing to help the Golden Master... doesn't seem like a bad choice?

Kotobuki Toru will have a good reason to change the role later...

"Not bad my ass!"

Fei Tu Hu Po abruptly stood up: "I don't want... to win anything from me? Impossible! Even if I leave, it can only be because I gave up voluntarily! Not because I lost!"

Hitoko Amber stared at the "mad dog"-like girl on her phone screen: "The Golden Master, is it... You want to snatch Kotobuki Toru from me, is that it?"

"If you want it... then come and take it!"

In truth, Hitotsu Amber harbored a thought that even the noblewoman had never revealed—

He won the Japanese derby with outstanding results, then retired at lightning speed and went into hiding.

In this case……

Kotobuki Toru will probably always remember what an excellent partner he once had, and how the two of them achieved such outstanding results together...

In this way, he will definitely remember her for the rest of his life, and Kotobuki Toru may not even go back to being a trainer.

In that case, she would be Kotobuki Toru's only racehorse girl.

However... it seems a bit too despicable...

I had clearly made a firm decision to let go.

That's right...

"Kotobuki Toru...you bastard, you bastard, you bastard!"

"Why did you only send me the training plan? Were all those stories about your racing heart and secretly touching my hair at night... all fake? Why don't you just block me too?!"

"Ugh... I'm going for a run... Anyway... you're a Gold Master, right? Trying to steal my trainer, huh?"

"Watch me kill you with my own hands!"

Chapter 319 The Somber Japanese Derby

The relationship between Hitoko and Kotobuki is elusive and uncertain, like the endless dark rain clouds in the sky.

However, the Japanese Derby will not be delayed due to the personal factors of any particular horse. The audience still looks forward to the Japanese Derby and hopes that the luckiest racehorse girl will win.

On the day the Japanese derby kicked off, the rain poured down relentlessly.

Inside the racecourse, the AI ​​system accurately determined that the track quality had dropped to the "heavy track" level, making the situation even more severe compared to the "slightly heavy track" at the previous Satsuki Sho race.

The once solid soil and lush green lawn were now soaked and washed by the rain, becoming fragmented and broken, resembling an over-mixed grass cake.

Racing on such a demanding track tests far more than just the speed of the racehorses; it also places extremely high demands on their strength and endurance.

Japanese racetracks are often jokingly referred to by horse racing enthusiasts as "tracks with grass seeds sprinkled on cement," and are known for their hardness and smoothness.

However, once it is soaked and softened by rain for a long time, this originally hard track gradually becomes more like the soft texture of grass tracks in Europe and America.

If the basic requirements for entering the Japanese Derby track were only an A-level speed and a B-level strength, then in the Shigebaba environment, to master the Japanese Derby track, one would need a seemingly frail woman with both A-level speed and strength.

However, most Japanese female horse racers are focused on speed and are not good at this type of track, especially Shigemachi. They are more interested in pursuing the ultimate speed and the best lap time, which is commonly known as "lap time".

Although everyone knows that judging solely on results and time, without considering the environment and specific circumstances, will distort the efforts of the racehorse girls...

But for most viewers, this pure time-based competition and numerical clash is the most exciting.

After all, elements such as hand traps, chaining, and speed changes, while complex and valuable for research, also increase the difficulty for viewers to watch the game and get into the game.

Therefore, although horse girls are the core of horse racing, the preferences and demands of a huge audience are quietly changing the racing style of horse girls...

Japanese viewers, while creating their ideal Uma Musume (horse girls) according to their own preferences, also eagerly anticipate their overseas expeditions and triumphant returns, truly only thinking of themselves.

"By the way, the experts and professors online all say that Hibiki Amber is a horse girl with the potential to go on expeditions abroad... Is that true?"

“It’s true. My uncle in the US told me secretly that Fei Tu Hu Po has already applied for a change of student status at Trexon University in the US.”

"Ha, I almost believed it... My neighbor's niece, who works at the hospital, even said that Hibiki Amber and her trainer had a fight..."

Just as everyone was talking amongst themselves, the commentator's passionate and excited voice ignited the atmosphere of the stadium like a fire.

The racehorse girls entered the arena one by one under the spotlight. Leading the way was none other than the undisputed star, Hibiki Amber.

[Number one in popularity, 100% win rate! The favorite to win – Hito Kohaku! On today's prestigious racecourse, will Hito Kohaku once again display the stunning beauty she displayed at the Satsuki Sho?]

[However, today's Hibiki Amber seems rather aloof, with her head down and a pained expression the whole time... Or is it because she was sick earlier and is not in good condition? I'm worried.]

Not only did the commentators sense something amiss with Hitoko Amber, but some of the more sensitive and empathetic audience members also noticed the subtle sadness and loss emanating from her.

"By the way... Miss Amber, have you been crying? Your eyes look a little dull, and your eye bags are a bit swollen, and the corners of your eyes are red."

"What do you know? Is this eye bag good or not? Don't use your understanding to judge a pretty girl's makeup. I think this is a special makeup that Hitotsu Amber did for this rainy day... Look at those golden-red eyes, that slightly melancholy look, doesn't it give off a little widow vibe?"

"Stop it... She's still an active female racehorse, how did she become a widow? If you keep saying that... I'm going to get excited, my idol has always been Cao Cao of China."

"I have a feeling that if Cao Cao saw such a scarlet amber, he would talk about it for the rest of his life."

In the stands, some were worried about Hibiki Amber's competitive form, while others felt a strange affection for her at that moment. Inside the racetrack, the racehorse girls were also busy, exchanging ideas and getting to know each other while secretly observing their opponents' competitive state.

Gao Shangjunyi didn't know many people, so he immediately went to Fei Tu Hu Po's side, his eyes filled with concern: "Hu Po... are you alright?"

Fei Tu Hu Po's lips curled into a slightly melancholy smile: "Fortunately, my physical condition is perfect, and I'm ready to start running at any time..."

Gao Shangjunyi's emotions have always been quite delicate, so his questions to Fei Tu Hu Po naturally went beyond that: "So, what about your mental state? Hu Po, are you... happy?"

Hitotsu Amber waved her hand gently, her tone revealing a hint of unnatural relief: "Well~ that's not that important, it's enough that we were happy once..."

Gao Shangjunyi looked at Fei Tu Hu Po with a worried expression: "Are you going to America after this?"

"Well, I've never been abroad before. I'll go out and see the world this time. But I guess I won't be able to be teammates with you guys anymore..."

“It’s okay. I’ve been through band breakups and all that. As long as we’re still good friends, there’s no problem.” Gao Shangjunyi reached out and gently held Fei Tu Hu Po’s hand. “I’m quite familiar with America… and the horse racing environment there is great. Hu Po, I hope you’ll be happy.”

Fei Tu Hu Po felt a lump in her throat: "Xiao Mao... don't say such mushy things, or I'll cry again. We're rivals now, you should say some harsh words to me so I can give up."

"Saying...saying harsh words?"

"It's like attacking my weakest point or something."

"Well... Kotobuki, the trainer, came back to Central Treson for a report these past few days, and apparently your name wasn't mentioned at all during the report meeting..."

With a 'thud,' Fei Tu Hu Po's legs went weak, and she knelt down on the ground, supporting herself with her hands.

[What happened? After talking to Gao Shangjunyi, Fei Tu Hu Po suddenly knelt down... Gao Shangjunyi usually seems so quiet and gentle... I didn't expect him to be so aggressive!]

"Little Hat...you bastard...I told you to attack me, not to smash me."

"Sorry sorry..."

Chapter 320 A Grand Escape Amidst the Rain!

Fei Tu Hu Po knelt on the ground and whimpered for a while before getting up.

The expected scenario did not occur: Hitoko Amber would not lie on the ground, calling out "XX-chan, XX-chan..." and then begin to crawl in the shadows.

After being helped to stand up by Gao Shangjunyi... he looked up and saw the Gold Master walking towards him. His long, light golden hair swayed gently with his steps. He was wearing a mask and his expression was full of indifference to the things around him.

Seeing this, Scarlet Amber leaned closer to Gao Shangjunyi and whispered, "This master goldsmith must be an extremely skilled horsewoman. Putting aside everything else, her stamina is definitely not to be underestimated..."

Gao Shangjunyi was full of surprise and admiration: "Amber... you can even see that? Just by looking at someone face to face, you can analyze their attributes?"

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded slightly, then smiled slyly: "Look, in this rainy weather, wearing such a thick mask... After the mask gets wet, it's hard to breathe, it's like water torture... If you don't have excellent lung capacity, you can't even survive."

"That seems to make a lot of sense... By the way, Amber, do you think the Gold Master... might have any unusual fetishes?"

"I think it's very possible. After all, rich people like to do weird things, like a group of nobles teaming up to fool fools, so it's normal for them to have a masochistic fetish..."

As the two were whispering, the goldsmith nearby suddenly pulled off his mask, his expression furious: "You two are so rude..."

“Eavesdropping is what’s rude,” Amber retorted sharply. “If you weren’t eavesdropping, how do you know we’re rude?”

The Goldsmith bared his teeth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth as pointed as a wild beast's fangs: "Your voices are too loud! Insolent fools! How dare you call yourselves nobles like this?"

Gao Shangjunyi shrugged, took a step back, and shielded Fei Tu Hu Po in front of him. "Hu Po... this horse girl has a strong presence."
