Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Kotobuki Toru pinched Hitokohaku's tail, conveying the power and trust in his hand to Hitokohaku.

"Do you know what investment is? There's a book that says, 'How do you marry a general? The answer is to marry a common soldier, support each other, and accompany each other through life's hardships...'"

"Similarly, how do you find a top-tier racehorse girl who is renowned, has top-notch skills, value, and reputation, and is also devoted to you? I don't think you can do it by throwing money at her, and I don't think my personal charm will work either..."

Hitoko stared blankly at Kotobuki Toru, while Kotobuki Toru also stared at Hitoko, speaking each word clearly.

"So the only option is to start from when she was still a customer service representative and help her climb the ladder step by step."

The second update is here!

Please please please please

Chapter 340 Persuading my family should be a task you and I undertake together.

“Investing, including buying stocks, always starts from the very beginning or the lowest point.”

Kotobuki Toru looked at Hitoko Amber very seriously. "And I, I've been with you from Sapporo to Tokyo, participated in so many races, and spent so much time with you. We've finally made some progress, and you've become a two-time champion racehorse girl. Now you want me to run away? Whether as a businessman or as your trainer, I won't do it."

Hitoko Amber stared intently at Kotobuki Toru before her, her entire body tense, trying to catch a clue in his expression and body language. However, no matter how carefully she observed, she could not find a trace of lying in Kotobuki Toru's expression.

Of course, deep down, Hitotsu Kohaku also hoped that every word Kotobuki Toru spoke was from the bottom of his heart...

Kotobuki Toru naturally noticed Hisako's scrutinizing gaze, and spread his hands to continue, "What I said above are all reasonable and rational statements. The unreasonable statement is... even if the Japanese Derby is your swan song, and your future performance plummets and you become a bottom-tier racehorse girl, I will still like you and only recognize you as my role."

"..."

Looking at the incredibly focused Kotobuki, Hitobuki's doubts vanished. But she dared not speak, afraid that if she did, she would lose control of her surging emotions and impulsively pounce on Kotobuki and bite him.

Kotobuki thought that Hitokohaku had been fooled by him and had developed PTSD, and still had doubts about him. So, without hesitation, he pulled out a brand new red certificate from his pocket - a trainer's certificate.

Hitokohaku was quite familiar with Kotobuki Toru's trainer's certificate. They had even opened the package containing it together back then. Moreover, as proof of his profession, Kotobuki Toru always carried it with him when entering and leaving the Saima Girls' facilities, and Hitokohaku had seen it many times.

But in her memory, Kotobuki Toru's trainer certificate cover was always orange; this red certificate was the first time she had ever seen one.

Fei Tu Hu Po's eyes were full of doubt, "This is..."

Kotobuki Toru shoved the document into her hand: "I've been working myself to the bone these past few days trying to get this document..."

Hitoko took the ID card from Kotobuki Toru, looked at Kotobuki Toru's somewhat haggard yet mature face, and opened the cover of the ID card.

[Trainer Qualification Certificate - Level A]

Trainers with this certification are fully responsible for all aspects of a racehorse girl's life. In the event of an emergency, they can act as her guardian or family member, exercising relevant rights. Furthermore, trainers cannot unilaterally terminate their relationship without the racehorse girl's consent.

“Eh…” Fei Tu Hu Po held the certificate in her hand, looked at the photo of Qin Chui Tou on the certificate, and then looked at Qin Chui Tou. She naturally knew the value of the words “treated as family member”.

Having this certificate means that throughout one's career, the trainer is like family. If you get hit by a dump truck or encounter an emergency on the field, Kotobuki Toru can sign a surgical consent form...

Moreover, once an A-level cooperative relationship is established, Kotobuki Toru will always be responsible for her to the end unless she requests to terminate it.

“You’re already so busy… and you still managed to find time to take this certification exam…” Fei Tu Hu Po’s hand trembled slightly as she held the certificate. “Are you stupid?”

"I couldn't help it... I just couldn't calm down during the days you were gone, I felt like I was going crazy even with my eyes closed." Kotobuki Toru scratched his head with a nonchalant smile on his face. "So, to distract myself, I immediately went to take the promotion exam."

Fei Tu Hu Po remained silent for a while before finally managing to say, "Actually... me too. I've been running ranked matches all this time and haven't dared to calm myself down."

The two looked at each other, their hearts surprisingly in sync in their longing for one another.

After a moment's hesitation, Kotobuki Toru couldn't help but ask, "So... the application to terminate our contract... and can you come back?"

"Ah."

Hitoko Amber nodded slightly, then said softly, "As a racehorse girl, these three years have been enough for me to be your family. I should be able to do whatever I want to do."

"Huh? Three years?" This time it was Kotobuki Toru's turn to be caught off guard by Hitoko Amber's train of thought: "How can it only be three years? You don't think I'm the kind of scumbag who starts a relationship and then abandons it, do you? Am I that kind of person?"

"But after I graduate... you'll have to go back to the Kotobuki family, right? If I'm there, your family will definitely object a lot, so you'll still get married according to your family's wishes... then I'll have to leave."

Fei Tu Hu Po's face was full of aggrieved expression: "But it's fine... I don't ask for forever, I only ask for having had it."

"Hmm? What are you thinking about now? We haven't even started yet, and you're already fantasizing about me starting something and then abandoning it... Also, why is it that the family is so against it, so I have to marry someone else?"

"But don't all powerful families and conglomerates have a dark side? They often have no choice in what they do... The Kotobuki family's dark side must be quite significant, right?"

During this time, even though Hitoko didn't deliberately inquire, she heard a lot about the helplessness behind the powerful families and conglomerates while interacting with other young ladies, such as: "You have no idea about the darkness of the Toyokawa family", "The secrets of the Mejiro family", and "The chaos of the Golden family".

"No matter what... I don't want you to give up the family fortune and your family for me... Waaah, it hurts!"

Before she could finish speaking, Kotobuki Toru cupped Hitsuko's face in his hands and pinched her cheeks with his thumbs and forefingers.

"Don't start making assumptions just because you hear a little gossip, okay? Our family is different from those aristocratic families you've heard about."

"Waaaaah...It's different?"

“I, my father, am not some son-in-law who married into the family. The name of the Kotobuki Group follows our surname, not the other way around.”

Kotobuki pinched Hitoko Amber's little face for a while before letting go, and then gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her thumb. "Most of the shares of the Kotobuki Group are in the hands of my father and my sister. If you insist on saying that the group has any dark side or powerful figures, then the dark side you mentioned, and the powerful figures in Kotobuki, should be referring to the two of them: Kotobuki and Kotobuki Shinichi."

"Eh." Hitoko stared blankly at Kotobuki Toru. After he said that, the images of two "familiar people" came to mind. The Kotobuki family didn't seem as complicated and dark as she had imagined.

"So no one in your family objects?"

Kotobuki Toru shrugged: "There are still obstacles. After all, it is a bit rebellious to find a girl who is not a good match for you. I have tried to subtly ask them a lot of questions over the past few days. It is still very difficult to get them to accept you."

"So... have you solved it?"

"No."

"Um... if it's not resolved, why are you speaking so confidently?"

"Because this is not something I should be able to solve, or rather, it is not something I should be able to solve alone."

"If you don't solve it... how can you expect me to solve it?"

"Of course."

Kotobuki held Hitoko Amber's aggrieved yet breathtakingly beautiful face in her hands. "You always distance yourself from me so much... But if you want my relatives to accept you, if you want my shareholders to accept you, you should go with me to meet them. You should be my support, my lover, and everyone's future family member, and go meet them."

Hitoko's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected Kotobuki Toru's final answer to her.

"What if they still don't accept it?"

Kotobuki Toru smiled and said, "The Kotobuki Group doesn't have any shareholders like that, nor do we have any relatives like that."

Didn't you just say the Kotobuki Foundation had no dark side? Well, here comes the big hand from the Kotobuki family.

But it seems that this time, the Kotobuki family's bigwig is supporting themselves.

---------

Good morning!

The first update is here!

Please please please please

Chapter 341 There's no curfew in the dorms here, shall I take you to see them?

"I was the one who ran the triple crown campaign, I was the one who persuaded your family to accept me, and I was the one who met with the shareholders of the Kotobuki Foundation. Why does it feel like in the end, I'm the one who has to step in? This isn't what I expected..."

Kotobuki Toru raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "So, according to your imagination... how would we solve this problem?"

"Like in novels or anime, saying things like, 'For the sake of Hito Kohaku, I'm leaving the Kotobuki Foundation,' or 'I'm giving up my status as the heir to the Kotobuki family.'"

"Then you will inexplicably be burdened with a debt of 168 billion yen, be kicked out of the Kotobuki family, and never recover, spending your days drinking and degenerating at home."

"Am I that kind of person?"

Amber blinked, her voice sinister: "You'll end up relying on me to work and support you. I'll buy you alcohol every day, and you won't have to do anything. In the end, you'll become a useless nobody who can't do anything without me, and then I can legitimately control you, possess you, and enjoy you..."

Qin Chuitou's body trembled. Seeing that Fei Tu Hu Po's eyes were gradually losing focus, he quickly stopped Fei Tu Hu Po's speech: "Stop, stop, stop. The first half was still that kind of domineering CEO novel or something... How did it turn into that kind of dark novel that can't even be talked about in the end?"

Hitotsu Amber blinked awkwardly: "That's why I also said I didn't want you to do that..."

"So you're underestimating the power my family has over the Kotobuki Group." Kotobuki Toru shrugged. "It's not like we're being sidelined or kicked out all the time. My dad and my sister are the real power center..."

"They don't look like them at all... Those two don't look serious or dark at all."

"That's because it's too stable, there's no feeling of walking on thin ice, so we can do abstract things. Only in chaotic times do we use harsh measures. Who in their right mind would have a long face and get wrinkles for no reason? As long as it's our opinion, it can be approved."

Fei Tu Hu Po sniffed lightly, her previously tense face gradually relaxing. Hearing Qin Chui Tou's reply, her heart finally settled, and her usual adorable silliness returned to her eyes.

Kotobuki's implication couldn't be clearer, and Amber, who had worked her way up in the company, naturally understood it.

Kotobuki Toru's words show high emotional intelligence. On the surface, he is saying that everyone in the Kotobuki Foundation is understanding and that everyone will understand and bless them. But what Kotobuki Toru actually means is, "Whoever objects should get out of here. This is the Kotobuki Foundation. You are the ones who should leave."

It's similar to what my boss said back then: "Those who are unwilling to work overtime and are unwilling to strive are not my brothers."

But Amber was still worried: "But isn't what you're doing too forceful? Won't people be unhappy?"

“Once you win the three crowns, the Kotobuki Group’s stock will soar, and once the bonuses are paid out, who will remember these things?” Kotobuki Toru put down the amber tail he was playing with and instead held her smooth and delicate little hand. “Besides, once they see you in person, maybe everyone will agree on the spot.”

Fei Tu Hu Po said with a pained expression, "But I don't have confidence in myself..."

"I have faith in you, and we'll face this together. This is how family should interact. The Kotobuki family may be a bit abstract, but I sincerely hope you can integrate and meet everyone."

Kotobuki Toru's confidence in Hitokohaku is not unfounded:

In terms of looks, even the high-ranking old guys in the Kotobuki Foundation might not have seen a super beautiful girl like Hitoko Amber more than a few times in their lives. As far as physical characteristics are concerned, apart from not quite fitting the description of purity and dignity, there is no flaw to be found.

As for physical fitness, the Warhorse Girl bloodline makes it tough and durable. From the trainer's perspective, Hito Kohaku was prepared to run herself to pieces on the day of the Japanese Derby. The pressure on her muscles and bones was extremely high. However, she went to the United States that same night after the race and immediately started running qualifying matches.

His physical condition is undeniable... Although family background and money are indeed important, in the eyes of most older generations, the most important thing is good health, which is suitable for having children!

Finally, regarding intelligence and ability, Scarlet Amber possesses top-tier looks and health!

With something this important, asking for anything else would be excessive.

Kotobuki's gaze was sincere. "Is it alright?"

This time, Hitotsu Kohaku no longer doubted the truth or falsehood in Kotobuki Toru's words. After all, it was really not worth it to weave such a long lie just to fool her, a silly horse girl.

Even if Kotobuki's words were a lie, Hitoko would still be as reckless as a moth drawn to a flame.

For Hitotsu Kohaku, who lacks love, the prospect of having a family is incredibly alluring...

"Tou Tou, are you sure you won't regret this?"

Kotobuki Toru held Hishiko Amber's hands in his own, and said in his most earnest tone, "No. I've thought about this for a long time. If I still had any doubts, I wouldn't be standing here. And as for the words 'I want to be part of your family,' I can say them as many times as I want."

"Okay! I... want to be part of your family too!"

Amber's eyes reddened, glistening with tears.

Then, in the next second, Fei Tu Hu Po's delicate and soft wrist flipped over, and her originally soft, cotton candy-like hand suddenly gained the strength of a vise, along with a scorching temperature.

Kotobuki was taken aback: "Huh?"

Fei Tu's amber-gold eyes momentarily lost focus, their once clear focus obscured by a strange haze. Then, a perfectly proportioned fox-like smile curved the corners of the girl's lips, revealing a charming yet adorable expression, but it always gave off a strange feeling.

The girl tilted her head, smiled, and picked up her violin as she played: "Tou Tou, I still have so much to say to you, but there are too many people and too much noise here... I'll take you around Central Treson, and we can talk somewhere else."

"Oh... Come to think of it, this is my first time here. What are some of the unique things about Tressen, USA?"

"Of course there are, for example, the Uma Musume dorms don't have a curfew~"

The second update is here!

Please please ...

Chapter 342 Hitsu Amber's Dormitory

Although Hitokohaku said she would take Kotobuki Tooru around Trayvon Martin in America, as they walked along the school's roads, Kotobuki Tooru discovered that Hitokohaku didn't seem to have introduced any of the sights.

It's worth noting that many of the attractions at Tresson College in the United States are listed as "must-see attractions" by travel magazines. Countless tourists meticulously plan their trips a year in advance, eagerly anticipating the college's open day to step onto the campus and explore its wonders.

But Fei Tu Hu Po seemed to have no eyes to the side, and with her hand still holding the zither, she went straight to the dilapidated dormitory in Teresa, America.

Fei Tu Hu Po pushed open the dormitory door and introduced with a smile: "Well, this is my usual dormitory. Although it is very old and run-down, it is really free, especially after returning to the dormitory at night, there are all kinds of people doing all sorts of things."

Kotobuki nodded: "I've heard of it. It's said that Treson in the US is famous for its independent training and free life... It was said to be a mixed dormitory for trainers and racehorse girls a long time ago."

Later, the trainers couldn't handle the racehorse girls' boundless energy and found them too noisy, so they jointly petitioned to move them away. Over time, this area became a small world managed by the racehorse girls themselves.

Kotobuki Toru remembered that before she came to the United States, her seniors had told her to avoid going to two places in the United States unless necessary.

The first is the West Coast of the United States, which can be described as the core of chaos. Nine out of ten people you see on the street are bad people. If you are inexperienced, you will go in upright and come out horizontally.
