Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Chapter 482 The Golden Master: I Want to Go to the Arc de Triomphe Too! (Two Chapters Combined)

Kotobuki Toru is a man of his word. Since Hitoko asked him to help with endurance training, he brought a Mercedes SUV and a high-end tow rope from his home that very night to assist Hitoko.

Fei Tu Hu Po recognized this Mercedes SUV; it was the legendary G-Class. It was said that driving this imposing SUV meant you could go wherever you wanted.

"The best way to improve endurance is to do weight training. Since you have experience pulling horses, why not pull the cart while running? You can train both strength and endurance."

Kotobuki Toru tied one end of the rope to the tow hook at the front of the G-Class, while the other end... Kotobuki Toru placed it around Hitoko Amber's neck.

Fei Tu Hu Po decisively slapped away the hand that had been playing the zither, her face full of anger: "Are you kidding me? This rope is tied around my neck. Putting aside whether it's appropriate or not, if I really try to pull the cart, won't I be strangled to death?"

"Ahem, I was just testing the length. How could you actually tie it around your neck? I'd be heartbroken if it got too tight, you know?"

After gently pinching Hitsuko's swan-like neck, Kotobuki Toru tied the tow rope around Hitsuko's slender waist, and then took a black-glossy mask from the car...

Hitotsu Amber looked at the object in Kotobuki Toru's hands with a puzzled expression: "What is this?"

"An oxygen-barrier mask," Kotobuki Toru simply announced the name of the mask, then continued to explain:

“Simply pulling a chariot is no longer a training burden for a horse like you… Moreover, your ancestors may have been chariot pullers. If you blindly add weight, it will only damage your muscles. So, if you want to train your endurance, instead of just adding weight, you should add some restrictions to your body. The solution I came up with is to use an oxygen-blocking mask to reduce oxygen intake.”

Fei Tu Hu Po stared in disbelief at the matte black tactical mask on the car. “There’s a rope, a muzzle, and even a way to stop breathing… Is this really ‘walking a dog’ on the street? It’s so exciting! If I didn’t have a tail, wouldn’t I have to put another attachment on it?”

However, I had heard of this oxygen-barrier mask before. It is said that it has a special valve that can prevent air intake, thereby simulating altitude sickness and enhancing the training effect. However, people don't usually need to focus on training endurance. In addition, this dog muzzle or restraint mask seems too niche, so people basically don't use it.

“Well, actually walking a dog can also build endurance…” Kotobuki Toru scratched his head, his expression a little unnatural: “This is the most suitable training method I can think of… I have absolutely no ulterior motives! I’m wholeheartedly dedicated to your training.”

Fei Tu Hu Po held up the oxygen-barrier mask, examining it from all angles. "I don't wear this mask outside of training."

"Ahem, actually, you can wear this mask as long as you're exercising."

"Hmph, it depends on my mood!"

As she spoke, Fei Tu Hu Po lifted the oxygen-barrier mask and pressed it against her small face. At the same time, she used her other hand to lift her long, crimson hair and thread it through the elastic band at the back of the mask.

With a soft snap, the X-shaped elastic band was secured behind the head, and the special mask was finally on.

"It's so tight, it's making my head feel uncomfortable..."

The moment she put it on, the charming girl transformed into a handsome and threatening crimson mad dog. Especially after her mouth and nose, which contained the most information, were covered by the plain-colored mask, Fei Tu Hu Po's bright golden eyes were like blooming peach blossoms, watery and captivating... almost stealing one's soul.

Otherwise, why would so many young people in Japan, knowing full well that they shouldn't be around those masked girls who look like landmines, still flock to them? To some extent, these masks can indeed artificially increase the harmony of everyone's facial features, thereby enhancing their appearance.

Restraint and repression have always been a kind of unorthodox aesthetic. The famous "Mask Girl" Gold Master of Tresson attracted a considerable number of mask enthusiasts because she always wore a mask when she went out. It is said that in order to prevent some people with bad intentions from messing around, Gold Master did not throw her mask directly into the trash can, but personally threw it into the incinerator.

"And after putting it on, I felt like it was hard to breathe, it was really stuffy." After putting on the mask, Fei Tu Hu Po's voice sounded muffled.

"This can greatly improve your cardiopulmonary function... The downside is that it can be quite uncomfortable."

“What’s so hard about this?” Fei Tu Hu Po tossed her head and tied her hair into a neat and tidy high ponytail. “Can it be harder than when I was delivering takeout in the rain while wearing a mask during the flu outbreak a few years ago? Back then, it was like being waterboarded.”

"There are even more intense ones?" Kotobuki Toru pointed to the throttle valve on the mask. "If you feel okay, you can increase the intensity."

Without a second thought, Hitoko Amber reached out and turned the throttle valve to the position with the strongest throttling effect. This time, even if Hitoko Amber didn't speak, Kotobuki Toru could hear the sound of the wind coming out of the mask, as if she were on a respirator.

"That's it? I think I'm perfectly fine..."

Hibiki Amber reached out and gently tugged at the rope to test the strength: "I reckon that besides me, there wouldn't be any other horse girl in the world who would come with a trainer for this kind of suffocation play..."

"This isn't just play! This is called daring to innovate, okay? Once you run around in it for a while, you'll definitely see how amazing it is!"

After saying that, Kotobuki Toru turned around, opened the car door, and got in. "There are analytical instruments in the car that can analyze your condition, and I can give you advice immediately, so this car is not a waste of money."

"it is good."

Upon seeing that the vehicle's indicator lights had been switched to hazard lights, Fei Tu Hu Po took a deep breath and stomped out heavily, the specially designed wear-resistant running shoes on her feet making a teeth-grinding sound as they rubbed against the ground.

An incredibly strong resistance came, causing Fei Tu Hu Po's silver teeth beneath her mask to clench tightly. After increasing her strength again, the G-Wagon slowly moved about a meter away.

Fei Tu Hu Po's voice lacked confidence: "I only pulled it a little, and I could feel the resistance. Is this G-Wagon really that heavy... or am I just too weak?"

Kotobuki Toru's surprised voice rang out from behind the girl: "Holy crap... I haven't even engaged the handbrake or the brakes yet, and you still managed to tow it? That pull just now must have worn down at least 100,000 yen worth of brake pads..."

"Um... this, is this my fault?"

"Alright, alright, it's not your fault. Now go on your way."

Fei Tu Hu Po took another step, this time much easier. Fei Tu Hu Po gritted her teeth and immediately began to accelerate at full speed, and the speedometer on the vehicle immediately soared to 40 kilometers per hour.

The exclamation of Qin Zhuotong echoed through the woods.

"Hey, slow down! The speed limit on this tree-lined road is 30! I'll be in trouble if the traffic police see me."

"No, I'd really like to see if Ma Niang pulls the cart and speeds... will the traffic police actually give you a ticket!"

"No way! My salary isn't much to begin with, and if you take me on another speeding spree... how am I supposed to survive?"

The laughter of men and women echoed along the seaside road through the woods.

……

The afternoon training session passed quickly. At first, Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru were chatting and laughing, but after running for more than an hour, they fell silent, only panting and humming.

Even Hitotsu Amber is losing her composure like this, which shows just how intense the training is... If it were an ordinary horse girl, she would probably be making sounds like "hoohoohoohoo" from lack of oxygen by now.

The reason why Hitoko was able to persevere was not only because of her amazing endurance, but also because she was a very sensible player. Therefore, even when she was very tired and in pain, she never suggested giving up or taking a break.

However, Hitotsu Amber kept muttering to herself, "Ugh... I'll never train like this again... I can't even breathe properly... I feel like a fish that's been brought ashore."

Kotobuki Toru, behind the wheel, monitored Hitoko Amber's various physical indicators while also watching her rear end: "Think about the other racehorse girls, you have to endure hardship to rise above others... Now you not only have to surpass Super Creek, but those racehorse girls on the Arc de Triomphe are all your rivals."

Hitoko Amber gritted her teeth and turned around, the steam coming out of her mask like boiling water: "Even other racehorse girls aren't trained like this, are they?"

"That's not necessarily true." With that, Qin Chuitou honked the car horn and called out to the side, "Hey, Master of Gold, what a coincidence, you're here too?"

"Huh? The Golden Master?" Fei Tu Hu Po subconsciously turned her head to look.

As soon as she turned her head, Fei Tu Hu Po saw the Gold Master with a face full of hostility.

Although the Gold Master wasn't dragging a cart like herself, Hito Amber could still sense the heaviness in the sound of his footsteps... She didn't know how she managed to do that.

The Gold Master glanced at Scarlet Amber, his hostility intensifying: "Scarlet Amber... why are you also using my training methods?!"

The Gold Master can see the Hibari Amber, and similarly, the Hibari Amber can naturally see the thick mask on the Gold Master's face...

The two "masked girls" just stared at each other blankly.

Finally, it was Hitotsu Amber who spoke first: "Hey, I didn't expect... that you wear a mask when you're running, Master?"

The goldsmith's eyes flashed with wariness. "You woman! Are you trying to trick me into revealing information?"

Why would I try to trick you into telling me anything? Besides, you just said I copied your training methods.

Hitotsu Amber pointed to her face, panting, and said, "I was just training according to the trainer's requirements... This method was suggested by TouTou."

"Hmm? Kotobuki Toru could come up with such a method?" The Golden Master looked at the driver in the Mercedes beside him with surprise and admiration: "No wonder the Golden Family told me to snatch him away... So he's this capable?"

Hibiko deliberately slowed her pace, keeping the Golden Master further away from Kotobuki Toru. "I think the reason your family made you take him isn't because he's a trainer, but because he's from the Kotobuki family."

"None of that matters anymore! Anyway, Kotobuki trainer does seem to have some skill... She actually figured out the same training method as me without any instruction..."

"Is your training method simply exercising while wearing a mask?"

"Hmph? Wearing a mask?"

The goldsmith's eyes gleamed, and even through her mask, Fei Tu Hu Po could see the arrogant smile beneath.

"Hmph, Scarlet Amber, you only know one side of the story! You only see the surface and not what lies beneath!"

"What lies beneath the surface?"

Fei Tu Hu Po was taken aback at first. After a brief moment of contemplation, the girl immediately seemed to have thought of something incredible: "Golden Master, you...you didn't hide a gag or something else under your mask to put in your mouth, did you? As expected of Teresa's number one mask girl...you're already way ahead of us in terms of mask-related ideas!"

"What are you saying?!" This time, it was the Gold Master's turn to lose his composure.

With her alluring demeanor and suggestive gaze, anyone could instantly understand what she was implying.

Moreover, someone like the Gold Master who wears a mask every day... fully understands how effective a mask is at concealing her face. After all, the Gold Master herself usually relies on this mask to cover her fangs and fierce expression.

But she has never done anything strange under her mask!

If she were a noblewoman, she would have retorted to Hitotsu Amber at this point, saying, "People with crooked thoughts in their minds can only look at others as a mess. Hitotsu, you are indeed too dissolute."

Unfortunately, the goldsmith wore a mask to project an unapproachable image and reduce unnecessary interaction. In terms of verbal sparring, she was no match for the noblewoman, and not even for the Higanbana Amber…

So the goldsmith could only lash out in anger, and then fell into a self-justification trap.

To prove he wasn't acting recklessly, the Gold Master also slowed down his running speed, allowing her to catch up to him.

When Fei Tu Hu Po caught up with the cart, the Golden Master immediately lifted the mask off her face, revealing her extremely aggressive canine teeth and a shy little face: "Look, apart from this mask being a bit thicker and having a better sealing effect, there's absolutely nothing special about it!"

"Oh, oh..." Fei Tu Hu Po nodded, taking a few deep breaths: "I didn't expect that you, the Golden Master, usually train like this."

Just wearing this oxygen-barrier mask all afternoon, Fei Tu Hu Po already felt like she was about to collapse... While the mask worn by the Golden Master wasn't as extreme as the oxygen-barrier mask, her strength lay in her perseverance, training like this day after day.

No wonder her attributes are so strong, so strong that even Kotobuki Toru privately calls her a monster from the Golden Family.

And that wasn't all. Fei Tu Hu Po then asked, "Wait a minute, what was that thing you just mentioned, the Golden Master... beneath the surface?"

"Hmph, of course it's my weight." The Golden Master slowly and laboriously lifted her leg. "You can't tell, can you? I'm wearing weights on my legs!"

As he spoke, the goldsmith tapped the straps on his leg, producing a crisp metallic sound.

Fei Tu Hu Po blinked: "I was wondering why you seemed so slow... Turns out you were wearing sandbags, or rather, iron weights?"

"The alloy block weighs about 200 kilograms..." the Gold Master said casually, "It's much better for training physical attributes than your dragging... That's how I trained my attributes."

Fei Tu Hu Po exclaimed in admiration, "You're working so hard... It's already the holidays, and you're still working this hard?"

The Gold Master raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you the same? Still in special training at this time."

"I'm different. I have to compete with Super Little Creek Senior and prepare for the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix."

"Me too."

"Huh? You're preparing for Game 1 too?"

“I mean…” the Gold Master sighed, “I’ve also decided to participate in the Arc de Triomphe competition ahead of schedule!”

The two-in-one update is here!

Sorry for the wait!

Please please please please

Chapter 483 The Test of Courage is about to begin! (Two chapters combined)

"I want to participate in the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix too!"

Upon hearing the resounding declaration from the Gold Master, Hitotsu Kohaku looked surprised, while Kotobuki Toru fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts.

Fei Tu Hu Po felt quite happy to meet her familiar face again in the competition. After all, she had taken a risky approach in the previous competition against the Golden Master, even using a somewhat extreme running style, and barely won the competition. If she could compete against the Golden Master in the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix and re-examine the gap in their strength, that would be even better.

Kotobuki Toru, on the other hand, has already begun to consider the possible variables in the Arc de Triomphe Grand Prix.

Although most of the female horse girls who choose to participate in the Arc de Triomphe are accomplished third-year students who want to make a final push before retiring and try to reach the world's highest level, with increasingly scientific training methods and more balanced diets, the second-year female horse girls are maturing earlier and growing faster, so it is reasonable for them to reach their physical peak earlier than expected.

Horse girls like Hitoko Amber have more experience than most other horse girls, and their minds are quite mature. They are precocious. With consistent training and a little more diligence, they could easily catch up with third-year horse girls.

Moreover, Hitoko Amber has indeed surpassed most third-year racehorses. The prestige of finishing in the top ten of the Central Treisen qualifying race is not just talk.

The Golden Master also possesses precocious potential and a diligent training attitude similar to that of Hitotsu Amber... and even trains for a longer period of time than Hitotsu Amber!

After all, that girl with the mask and her prominent canine teeth aren't exactly ideal for getting close to her boyfriend...

The Gold Master himself doesn't seem to have much interest in men. He has a lot of free time to train, and when he's not training, he wears a mask all the time. It can be said that apart from sleeping, the Gold Master spends most of his time training.

Based on the information Kotobuki Toru has gathered... the Golden Master is definitely a horse girl with the strength and qualifications to challenge the Arc de Triomphe Tournament... Moreover, the fact that the Golden Master could say this means that the Golden Family's trainers have also agreed to this matter.

"Hey, but why did you decide to run the Arc de Triomphe race, Gold Master?"

While Kotobuki Toru was still deep in thought, Hishiko Amber asked him a question without any hesitation.

Kotobuki Toru's attention was more focused on whether the Golden Master could participate and whether he was suitable to participate in the Arc de Triomphe Tournament, while Hitoko Amber was more concerned about why the Golden Master wanted to participate: "Isn't your goal... the Triple Crown?"

"Hey no! Still three crowns! Still three crowns!" Hearing Hibiki Amber's naive and thoughtless remark, the Golden Master was even more furious. He bristled, his ponytail swaying from side to side with each stomp of his feet. "I've already lost a match! What's with the three crowns!"

"Oh, right, I remember now...!"

Hitotsu Amber suddenly covered her mouth, her hair drawing an awkward arc in the wind. "It seems I've already beaten you once... So, does this mean I've interfered with the world line or something?"

The original Gold Saint might have chosen to challenge for the Triple Crown, and after winning all three, then challenge for the Arc de Triomphe Tournament. However, the Gold Saint probably didn't expect that Amber would suddenly appear and steal all three crowns from her... After that, it seems the entire timeline changed, and the Gold Saint no longer cared about the Triple Crown, and actually chose to directly enter the Arc de Triomphe Tournament...

The Golden Master suddenly lunged forward, revealing sharp fangs beneath his mask. "Forget about timeline shifts... I'm done with all the other opponents. I just have to run away with you, Hiruko Amber!"
