But the good news is... he still has plenty of time and opportunity to get to know Scarlet Amber and understand everything about her.
Now, listening to Hitsukohaku's words, her complaints and grievances, Kotobuki Toru sincerely thanks the world, thanks the three goddesses for giving Hitsukohaku a second chance at life, and thanks the insurance company for giving him the opportunity to complain about this customer service girl, which led to their unexpected meeting.
Even after lunchtime ended, their conversation continued. Hitoko Amber was still enthusiastically sharing with Kotobuki Toru the songs she had been listening to recently, the story of how she fainted from malnutrition while trying to become a vegetarian, and her sudden idea to use her flow state during intimate moments with Kotobuki Toru...
Despite the trivialities of the conversation, the two enjoyed it immensely until the cleaning staff urged them to leave, at which point they reluctantly departed.
Once outside, the two hadn't decided where to go, so they continued to stroll and chat along the academy's paths.
As she walked along the road, Fei Tu Hu Po remained completely oblivious to the sights around her.
With the most crucial matter resolved, Kotobuki Toru couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "By the way, I don't recall ever hearing you, Kohaku, introduce these tourist attractions in Teresa, USA..."
"Um..." Fei Tu Hu Po blushed and stammered, "Actually, after arriving in Teresa, USA, I didn't know anything about these attractions. Even when some teachers offered to introduce them to me, I refused because I was too busy crying..."
"Oh, then you came all this way for nothing."
"It wasn't a wasted trip."
As she spoke, Hitotsu Kohaku moved closer and grabbed Kotobuki Toru's arm, just like when she used to help Kotobuki Toru walk after he injured his leg. However, this time it was much more practiced and natural than before. "Perfect timing! Let's go shopping together. If you know any places, can you help me with some information? If not... we can research them together."
"Um, shall I, a guest, introduce them?"
Fei Tu Hu Po blinked her beautiful golden eyes, adopting a submissive posture, and wrapped her arm around Qin Chui Tou's, chuckling softly, "Isn't this just giving you, my lord, a chance to show yourself? I want to admire Tou's knowledge... Is that alright?"
"That's definitely possible!"
So Kotobuki Toru relied on his powerful memory and the remaining knowledge in his mind to recall the unique features of these scenic spots:
"Those faces of racehorses lined up over there is the Triple Crown in Trexon, California. It's modeled after Mount Rushmore. Every time a racehorse wins the Triple Crown, another face is carved into the mountain..."
"Oh, no wonder these faces look so familiar. Come on, smile and take a picture with me."
"What we have here is the 'Swords for Hooves' statue, created by melting down empty bullet casings to celebrate the end of the war."
"Wow, TouTou, you're so knowledgeable! Great job! Let's take a picture here too."
"There's a long row of horse racers at the entrance over there; that's the largest church of the Three Goddesses in the United States... It's said that the sacred swaddling cloths used by the Three Goddesses to bind their feet are enshrined inside."
"It's too stylish... I won't film here, it just feels weird."
The two strolled leisurely through the streets of the American Tresson campus, taking photos together. Even the gloomy weather did not dampen their enthusiasm.
"Hey, by the way, TouTou, I was planning to share these photos online, is that okay? After all... you're here?"
"No problem. This is also a way of reporting the progress to everyone in Japan. I haven't dared to turn my phone on since I came to the US... They must be worried sick over there."
"what?"
Kotobuki chuckled and ruffled Hitoko's hair: "You think it's just the two of us who's worried about this? Hokkaido University, Nakasago Teresa, and the Japan Horse Girls Association... they're all extremely anxious too."
"You are no longer the nobody you used to be."

The second update is here!
Please please please please
Chapter 349 A Typical Male Koto Player
"Huh? So many people actually know about our relationship?"
Walking down the street, Fei Tu Hu Po tilted her head, her face full of doubt: "But I don't remember telling so many people? At most... only the noblewoman and Gao Shang Jun Yi know, right? But why did you say that things are very urgent in Japan? Does this mean that the rumors spread so fast?"
Kotobuki shook his head: "I didn't know before... but you just kissed me in public. With the current internet speed, everyone should know by now. That's why I told you to post it as you please. Compared to how fast netizens spread information, your posting speed is actually slow."
"Huh? Is it that fast?"
"Of course! You used to be just some nobody on the street, but now you're one of the top Uma Musume girls in Japan. There's all sorts of news about you online. Don't believe me? Take a look!"
Reminded by Kotobuki Toru, Hitoko Amber immediately took out her phone and opened a social media platform she hadn't checked in a long time.
A patch of red dots.
Private messages and new reply notifications have already exceeded 999+. Since the Japanese derby, Hitoko has rarely logged into her social media accounts, and these messages have accumulated day after day until now.
So much so that the moment she opened the social media app, her phone started vibrating wildly, like a runaway toy—a notification from the app after receiving a real-time message.
Hibiki Amber was utterly shocked: "My God, is everyone really this enthusiastic?"
Kotobuki Toru leaned closer, his gaze sweeping over Hitoko Amber's phone screen: "This is perfectly normal. The Japanese Derby is one of the top 100 G1 events in the world, and the Japanese Triple Crown has extremely high domestic attention. Your name has been trending for days, and news about you is still on the trending list today."
Fei Tu Hu Po looked down at her phone:
#What's up with Amber lately? Why hasn't she updated her social media accounts?#
Once you click on the topic on the social media platform, you'll see all sorts of discussion topics and the frenzy of the audience and fans.
【Why is this happening?! That's the Japanese derby! Even the Golden Ship, after finishing eighth, pulled off a spectacular stunt involving sliding on its knees and biting the runner-up medal from the Golden Master, so why hasn't Hitoko Amber posted anything on social media?】
[Such a big thing, no photos, no videos, no bombshell statements... To be honest, the last time Fei Tu Hu Po posted on her social media account was a photo of her shooting an arrow with her foot... It's been so long, and she already has a million followers, I'm starting to suspect I'm an automated follower.]
[Other fans of Uma Musume Nozomi probably never imagined that, as a dedicated fan of Hitoko Amber, to get the latest updates and photos of her, I'd have to follow Kaito no Hoshi's social media accounts... and then sift through Kaito no Hoshi's everyday photos to find Hitoko Amber. But hooded Hitoko Amber does have a unique charm, though.]
If we were to discuss which Uma Musume Girl is the strongest in the world, fans of each Uma Musume Girl would argue endlessly and create a huge online uproar, since electronic cricket fighting and cloud battles are part of human nature.
When it comes to who is the best racehorse girl idol in the world... everyone can carry the flag and fight for their own horse girl to win first place, but when it comes to which racehorse girl with the worst performance ability among the top racehorse girls above G1, everyone will vote for Hitoko without hesitation.
You know, there are so many top horse racers and so many strangely shaped racers in the world. Even Oguri Hat, a country girl from the countryside and a mechanical idiot, will still do her idol work every day without fail, sharing what Oguri Hat ate that day, and managing to produce a fresh carrot every day to appease everyone.
However, in the recent segment about what Oguri Hat ate today, she stopped posting pictures of carrots and instead posted photos of her trainers... I wonder if she actually ate them.
Of course, if we don't talk about the veterans, let's talk about the three-time champion and two-time winner racehorse girl, Lady, whose record this year is similar to that of Hitotsu Kohaku and is in a lower position.
She also values her fans highly, diligently sharing her luxurious lifestyle daily, and holding fan raffles at the end of the day. Prizes range from thousands of barbecue buffet vouchers to several bottles of fine wine. Despite her high position, she remains very approachable, not only refraining from asking for gifts from her fans but also generously giving back. It's said that once this socialite wins three championships, she'll even give away a Maybach or something similar.
As for the other Uma Musume (horse girls), they each have their own unique talents. In order to retain fans and attract new fans, they perform backflips, bite a lighter, or occasionally show everyone the exquisite muscle curves and little belly of the Uma Musume... They are all trying their best to live.
However, no racehorse girl is as abstract and calm as Hito Kohaku. She has no awareness of promoting herself or posting updates. She usually doesn't remember to post updates, and even if she does, she might not post them. And even if she does post them, they might not be approved. Not only are there few updates on her account, but they are also very fragmented and abstract.
However... as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and the more abstract an idol is, the more ordinary her fans will naturally be.
Since Hitotsu Amber is hiding in the box and won't come out, then don't blame everyone for using their intelligence networks to open Hitotsu Amber's little box!
Otherwise, no one will be able to replenish the energy that everyone is missing from this piece of scarlet amber...
As a result, under intense scrutiny from netizens, photos of Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru meeting this morning have already begun circulating on social media platforms in Japan...
Moreover... the surge in page views was probably partly due to this, as my phone was vibrating incessantly as if it were on vibrate mode.
[Breaking News! According to exclusive insider information from Haidu Star, Fei Tu Hu Po kissed someone in Terre, USA!]
[Top female horse racing idol, Hitoko Amber, is suspected of being in a relationship with a non-male, but there is no conclusive evidence yet.]
[Didn't you see the photos? It's practically sticking together in cocoons! This isn't conclusive evidence... Besides, isn't that man her trainer?]
This trainer... he looks pretty ordinary to me, just a typical male.
Fei Tu Hu Po was delighted. She had heard before that when celebrity voice actors got married, they would usually say that their spouse was an "ordinary man" or something like that. She never expected to actually encounter it herself today.
A person who can play the zither thoroughly is generally a male.
"Hey, TouTou, are you a regular guy?"
"I think I am."
----------
The first update is here!
Please please please please
Chapter 350 Graduation Without a Ceremony
The incident caused a huge stir, and since Hitoko Amber was already close to becoming a national-level Uma Musume (horse racer) and was in the spotlight, the topic of "ordinary men" quickly became a trending topic.
The "ordinary man" who steals the idols and voice actors that everyone loves will usually become a public enemy immediately.
Even the most skilled musicians are no exception.
Even though it's the middle of the night in Japan, everyone is wide awake... and they're all discussing who this ordinary man is and why he won over Hitsukoha so quickly.
Soon, all sorts of flawless photos of Qin Chuitou were dug up by everyone, for everyone to comment on, and incidentally for those netizens who couldn't get their hands on the rabbit meat to criticize.
[This is Hiruko's trainer... I hadn't paid attention to him before, but I didn't think he was that handsome.]
[Sure enough, she doesn't have my figure or looks... but this guy beat me to it. He even dared to kiss me in public during the day. I can't even imagine what he'll do at night.]
[There's also a rumor that this piano-playing guy just destroyed a steel-framed bed in Trey, America... I can't even imagine what the two of them did.]
This proves that beds are unreliable! It's definitely not like Japanese tatami mats; there's absolutely no risk of them collapsing! Win! A huge win!
As a result, more and deeper information was unearthed, including many anonymous "rumors" speculating in the comments that Kotobuki Toru might have some connection with the current Kotobuki Foundation.
However, these rumors are still in the stage of fermentation and everyone is verifying their authenticity. But it goes without saying that the truth will eventually come out, and it probably won't be long before everyone digs out all the information about Kotobuki Toru.
In response, Toru Kotobuki said it was not a big deal. "Previously, the Kotobuki Foundation contacted the media and told them not to make a big fuss about it, but now everyone has dug up the information themselves. Public opinion cannot be ignored, so we can only let them be."
Fei Tu Hu Po was slightly worried: "What if someone who hates the rich comes with a gun made from a steel pipe to assassinate you?"
"No, the Kotobuki Foundation doesn't usually do anything that would cause public outrage, and in fact, most people in Japan support me."
Kotobuki Toru patted Hitoko Amber's small hand, signaling her to relax: "Especially the Horse Girls Association and Central Treisen, they all pushed me to come to you."
"Huh? Why are they in such a hurry?"
"Of course, you were originally a Japanese school student. Although school students are a common treasure of all mankind, school registration and primary place of residence are still very important."
Kotobuki meticulously analyzed for Hitoko Amber: "A racehorse girl who was originally registered at the Teresa School in Japan, and even a two-time champion, suddenly went to the United States... Then everyone will lose faith in the local racehorse girl association! To put it more seriously, everyone in Japan may start to wonder if the grass is always greener on the other side."
Fei Tu Hu Po had never considered such a deep matter before, and asked somewhat haltingly, "Could there really be such serious consequences?"
"Otherwise, where did the phrase 'bringing disaster to the country and the people' come from?" Kotobuki said in a serious tone. "So the day you flew to America, the Japan Horse Racing Association contacted me, saying that I had to bring you back no matter what means I used. And it wasn't just the Horse Racing Association; the Japanese Treson also arranged a business trip for me, fully reimbursed, saying it was to help you relax or something... but actually, they were trying to find a way to trick you into coming back."
Upon hearing Kotobuki Toru's words, Hito Kohaku immediately felt guilty. She lowered her eyes, looking pitifully apologetic: "Eh, I feel like I've caused trouble for everyone. Not only that... I also couldn't attend your graduation ceremony, Toru, and put you under so much pressure to participate in your defense."
Kotobuki's voice was very calm: "No, I didn't defend my thesis, nor did I attend the graduation ceremony or anything."
"Ok?"
Hitotsu Amber suddenly looked up, staring at Kotobuki Toru in disbelief. "Hey, wait a minute, Toru, what do you mean... you haven't graduated yet? Hey no, you... you need to be responsible for yourself. If you're so unreliable, how can I trust you with my life or follow you around?"
Although Hitotsu Kohaku sent a message hoping that Kotobuki Tooru would come to find her, she wasn't the kind of person who only thought about herself. Compared to finding her, Hitotsu Kohaku felt that Kotobuki Tooru's graduation should be a priority.
So, Hitotsu Amber gritted her teeth, looking utterly disappointed, "No wonder you're here today... So you skipped your graduation ceremony?"
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry." Kotobuki Toru quickly interjected, afraid that Hitoko would make him faint from anger: "I've already gotten my graduation certificate and degree certificate. After all, I have a two-time champion female racehorse like you under my command... During the defense, none of the lecturers dared to ask me any questions. They just kept looking at my thesis and then passed it."
This is easy to understand. After all, the biggest difference between Kotobuki Toru and other graduates is that the others only talk the talk, but Kotobuki Toru has real achievements...
For other contestants, the mentors could directly question them, but with Kotobuki Toru, everyone was genuinely worried that if pushed too far, he might retort, "How many champions have you trained? Are they undefeated? Did you single-handedly raise them all?"
Although everyone knows that Kotobuki Toru is usually a kind and low-key person, and not really arrogant, it would be very awkward if he actually asked that question...
Moreover, Kotobuki Toru's thesis was indeed very well written, definitely at the level of a graduate student or above. Apart from the fact that the name "Hitotsu Kohaku" appeared too often in the later thesis, giving off a sense of unrequited love, everything else was perfect.
"Think about it, I've already obtained an A-level trainer's certificate and can be fully responsible for other racehorse girls. If I haven't graduated yet, can I really do it?"
Hitotsu Amber tilted her head, unable to refute Kotobuki Toru's words, "Then, what about your graduation ceremony?"
"That's the main problem. Hokkaido University has postponed my graduation ceremony, saying they'll make it up after you come back or after you win the Triple Crown... After all, having a top-tier horse girl appear at my graduation ceremony would be something Hokkaido University would be proud of and promote."
------------
The second update is here!
Please please please please
Perhaps there should be a third update.
Chapter 351 Custom-Made High Heels (Bounty 24)
When Hitoko heard that Hokkaido University, where Kotobuki Toru was enrolled, had actually postponed Kotobuki Toru's graduation ceremony so that she could return together to attend the ceremony, Hitoko was completely flattered.
"Does Hokkaido University need a low-IQ racehorse girl like me to increase its prestige? Isn't that a top 100 university in the world or something?"
Kotobuki Toru nodded. "Other majors don't really need you to increase their prestige. The various alumni who have already graduated are already impressive enough... But the Uma Musume major really needs you."
Fei Tu Hu Po slightly extended her hand, with an expression that said, "I'd like to hear more details."
Kotobuki Toru continued, "Around the world, the trainers trained by the top horse racing girl schools are actually all pretty much the same, since they're not doing scientific research or anything... So when trainers choose which university to apply to, they often refer to the percentage of trainers from that school who find horse racing girls, as well as the percentage of excellent horse racing girls they find."
