Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

"Running is one thing, but is it really necessary to chase them all the way to the Arc de Triomphe?"

"Hmph, it's not just me..." The Golden Master deliberately dragged out the last syllable, "There are other horse girls who also want to challenge you across levels."

"Are there... that many?" Scarlet Amber pointed at herself, incredulous. "Could it be... that I'm some kind of succubus?"

"Then you'll have to ask your trainer..."

Kotobuki Toru shouted earnestly from inside the car, "I think so."

"Hmph... a stench of decay." The Golden Master looked at the two men who were exchanging knowing smiles. "I got goosebumps all over; it's disgusting. I'm not staying with you anymore. You two can continue walking your dog... continue playing your perverted little games."

"That's why I said it wasn't just walking the dog or anything! And we didn't do anything other than training!" Hibiki Amber argued, reaching out to grab the Golden Master's small hand: "The more you say that, the less you can leave. You have to stay here and watch over things!"

"Hey, why are you still dragging me along... Weren't you just panting and saying you couldn't go on and needed to rest?"

"Who said that? I've only just begun... I can still practice!"

Although Hitotsu Kohaku kept complaining about being tired, saying that she couldn't breathe, and that the horse girl's life was also a life.

But after the Golden Master revealed his goal during the conversation, Fei Tu Hu Po was aroused by his fighting spirit and stubbornness. He immediately put on a mask, grabbed his zither and ran out.

We must strive to raise our stamina to a level comparable to Super Creek before the trial event!

……

For a period of time afterward, Hitotsu Amber devoted herself entirely to endurance training, wearing a mask every day to train and running for long periods of time.

There are even rumors circulating online that Hitsu Kohaku is not actually a horse, but a canine like a fox, and that it has been forced to wear a mask recently because it has bitten too many people.

And those entertainment news stories, just like the original Hitsu Kohaku Black Gold Master, created gossip about Hitsu Kohaku, saying that there was a gag or something under Hitsu Kohaku's mask... They even claimed that this was the 'dark side' of the Kotobuki family, and that even a Triple Crown racer's mouth would be completely gagged.

Of course, Hitoko had no time to pay attention to or refute these rumors. She could leave those miscellaneous matters to the Kotobuki Foundation; she had more important things to attend to.

Besides training these past few days, what Hito Amber has been doing most is promoting the Courage Test event in her capacity as the head of the Disciplinary Committee and the director of the Secretariat.

First, there's Hitoko Amber, the chairperson of the Disciplinary Committee, who is responsible for conducting random inspections of the resort area to prevent certain chuunibyou-afflicted horse girls from holding strange gatherings that summon evil gods or illegally constructing golden toilets.

In addition to conducting inspections by the Disciplinary Committee, Hibiki Amber also had to supervise and guide the progress of the Test of Courage project preparations.

Regarding this part of the work, Hitotsu Amber didn't actually need to do much. Most of the time, she would consult the engineers at the construction site to see if it was appropriate to do it this way... If the workers on site said it was fine, Hitotsu Amber wouldn't interfere and would simply nod in agreement. If there were any difficulties, Hitotsu Amber would write down exactly what the other party said and then pass it on to the teachers in the academy's academic affairs office...

Fei Tu Hu Po felt quite guilty about this, feeling as if she had only gone through the motions and hadn't done anything important.

What surprised Fei Tu Hu Po even more was that, even though she felt that she had only made some minor contributions, the praise she received from everyone in various departments of Treson kept increasing.

Everyone praised Hitotsu Amber as an excellent and understanding student council president, the sun for everyone, the sun for Tereson, and so on...

The night before the test of courage, the conference room at the resort hotel was lit up with a dim blue light.

A group of horse girls gathered here, the curtains were drawn, and the room was dimly lit and cramped... The shadows of the horse girls were projected onto the wall by the light, indistinct and vague, like demons from Western mythology.

It has a pointed head.

Feng shui master Kobayashi Riki squatted in a corner of the office, a gilded Bagua pendant hanging from his waist, gleaming faintly in the twilight, while the feng shui compass in his hand spun on its own without wind, emitting a rhythmic and chilling sound.

Just hearing that sound sent chills down everyone's spine and made them feel a cold wind blowing in their faces.

Kobayashi Liqi spun the compass in place for a long time before looking up and saying in a serious tone, "According to the Chinese calendar, tomorrow is the 15th of the seventh lunar month, which is the Ghost Festival or the Hungry Ghost Festival... To put it more simply, it is the legendary Ghost Festival! It is inauspicious for all things, and evil spirits will cover the sun."

Sitting diagonally opposite Kobayashi Riki, the fortune teller Machigane Fukuro held a crystal ball, his pupils reflecting the fine cracks on it. "According to my divination... everyone will be plagued by bad luck tomorrow! I suggest that those who are timid or have bad luck... stay in their dorms."

Finally, everyone's eyes turned to Dong Shang Bian Ge, who was a witch, and Dong Shang Bian Ge had a serious expression on her face.

After hesitating for a while, the girl looked left and right, then helplessly spread her hands: "Wait a minute, I'm just a witch, I don't have any of your extraordinary abilities..."

"Huh? How come you're so bad at this..."

Dong Shang Biange also looked helpless: "If we could foresee the future or control feng shui, witches in medieval Europe wouldn't have been roasted. Anyway, I... I have a bad feeling..."

Kobayashi Liqi waved his hands repeatedly: "Eh... alright then... President Amber, cut out the part about the East Merchants' transformation, and then our final promotional material will be considered complete."

"Okay, thank you everyone!" Fei Tu Hu Po's voice rang out.

Then, the office lights came back on, and the group of female employees present burst into applause.

Fei Tu Hu Po held her phone and sent the video she had just taken to Super Xiao Xi, preparing for Super Xiao Xi to edit and publish it.

After all, it was the Service Department that arranged and organized the participation of the horse girls from various associations and helped everyone divide the work.

Kotobuki Toru had previously suggested that those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles, so once Hitoko Amber becomes the student council president, she can delegate authority and let everyone do things boldly... She only needs to control the overall direction.

After all, history has proven that minor maneuvers like moving artillery positions five meters to the left cannot achieve great things...

While waiting for Super Creek's reply, Hiruko looked up and surveyed everyone in the room, then asked with a light laugh, "So, what did everyone think of the short film just now?"

The lady stroked her chin: "Not bad, right? It's starting to feel right... Even I'm getting excited. Looks like I can get ready to participate tomorrow."

Gao Shangjunyi nodded: "It feels great, very well done! Anyway, I like any kind of dark-themed event!"

Even Oguri, who was on secondment in the secretariat and had now begun to live a carefree life, nodded in approval and became excited: "It's better than last year no matter what... Last year, our student council was divided into three parts, and we were bickering with each other, so we didn't manage to organize any big events. So this year, no matter what you do, Hitoko, you're on the rise."

Although these three horse girls are Hitoko Amber's friends, they have a lot of experience attending various events. If they can all give unanimous praise, then this test of courage event is really not bad.

Now, everything is ready except for the final push. Higanbana has done all she could, and all her hard work over the past few days has finally come to an end. Now, it's up to everyone to give their feedback after experiencing it…

Thinking of this, Hitotsu Amber breathed a slight sigh of relief, put the proposal in her hand aside, and asked everyone around her, "By the way... how are you planning to participate in tomorrow's event?"

The lady shrugged: "I'm not afraid of ghosts, and I'm not interested in being scared, but I am a little interested in bullying and harassing others... so I might go and scare people, or just wander around."

Haidu Star has already started making plans on paper: "This is my first time participating in the Test of Courage, so I want to participate as a participant! But I see that the Test of Courage requires two people to be in a group... Justice, why don't you come along too?"

Justice raised an eyebrow, seemingly reluctant to go to the test of courage with a horse girl: "Hmm? I was even planning to dress up as a nurse from Silent Hill... It's rare to have a role like mine, a foreigner, to play."

"Oh, it doesn't conflict. Tomorrow will also be cloudy, and it will get dark very early. From start to finish, it will be six or seven hours."

The hospitable Star of the Sea City has already come up with a solution for justice: "You can follow me around for a while first, and after you successfully check in, you can go and play your monster."

"Can this still happen?"

"Yes, that's fine. To make everyone have a more enjoyable experience during the event, we're not limiting you to playing any particular role."

Fei Tu Hu Po also offered a few words of explanation, but as soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to her.

"And what about you, Amber?"

Hibiki Amber blushed slightly: "Ahem... Of course I'll work with the trainer to overcome the difficulties..."

Chapter 484 A Hundred Ghosts Parade

The following day, to avoid delaying the evening's activities, the student council's last regular meeting of the semester was unusually moved to the afternoon.

In the conference room, the poised and elegant Ma Niang—her neighing booming—said with a smile that carried a calming power: "This afternoon, our Disciplinary Committee chased away all the bears and wolves within a 20-kilometer radius. As you instructed, Chairman Amber, we intended to avoid using stun guns as much as possible, but some animals not only didn't flee, they even attacked us..."

"Then we'll have to use stun guns. If we make sure the stun guns are charged, the aim is precise, and the swings are powerful, these wild animals shouldn't dare come back anytime soon, since they're already smoking from the shocks..."

Sitting in the main seat, Amber nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes... This is also for the good of these animals. After all, when racehorses are extremely frightened and encounter wild animals, they might not be able to control their strength when they punch a bear, and they could easily knock out the bear's gallbladder. What we are doing... is saving them!"

After Ming Sheng Lei Dong finished reporting the situation, Xing Mu added her own report: "The coordination between the student council secretariat, the hospital, the sponsoring companies, and the media has been completed... Tonight, a large number of doctors skilled in emergency care are on standby, ready to rescue any horse girls who might faint from fright. The media has also set up hidden cameras, so we can quickly roast meat tomorrow and produce a large number of cooked meat slices of beautiful girls participating in the test of courage... The publicity effect will definitely be fantastic."

"Okay! Let's help everyone gain some fans so we can participate in future competitions."

As for the last department, the Treson Service Department, since all members had already gone up the mountain or to various checkpoints to prepare for tonight's activities, no horse maid came to report on the situation.

Even without a face-to-face report, Hitokohaku could still see the posts on the Uma Musume forum.

[Chinese Folklore and Ghostly Tales: You Won't Sleep for Three Days After Listening! A professional storyteller has been specially invited to give lectures at the Binhai Plaza!]

[Costume rental available. We currently have a variety of monster and ghost cosplay costumes for you to try on and rent. We also accept mummy, zombie, and other zombie makeup, including makeup!]

[Remember to collect your stamp if you successfully reach the finish line! You can redeem souvenirs like copper coin masks, peach wood swords, and more... you might even get a chance to win a hidden spine sword!]

……

After briefly learning about the current status of the various departments under the student council, Fei Tu Hu Po coughed twice, "Ahem, does anyone here have anything else to say?"

The female racehorses all shook their heads.

"Okay! Let's call it a day then! If anything comes up later, just call us or contact us in the chat group."

As soon as Amber finished speaking, the group of horse girls who had been waiting impatiently scattered like birds and beasts...

"Wow, everyone's running really fast..."

Looking at the empty conference room, Fei Tu Hu Po smiled helplessly and ran out in her sandals.

Today's event was a super celebration on par with the school festival. Plus, since there were no student council requirements regarding the attire or level of revealing clothing for the female characters, all the female characters took a huge leave of absence and then underwent a massive costume change, donning the most daring outfits they could ever wear: fox masks, demon horns, blood-stained clothes, white robes…

The entire seaside resort area seemed to have come to life like the painting "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons".

Even though Fei Tu Hu Po was beautiful, she instantly lost her ability to turn heads as she walked among these gods and precious objects.

“Amber, over here, over here.”

However, Kotobuki Toru immediately recognized Asahita Kohaku in the crowd and greeted her.

Following the sound, one could see Qin Chuitou standing under the lantern, wearing a moon-white brocade robe that trailed on the ground, with long gray hair cascading over his shoulders, and a two-inch false beard swaying gently in the evening breeze. The peach wood sword on his back had a red tassel that seemed to burn, and a jade pendant at his waist was as warm and smooth as water. He looked like a majestic and extraordinary figure, just like those great sword immortals who only existed in novels.

Today, Kotobuki Toru responded to the call from the Central Teresa School of Education and tried to dress more flamboyantly and coolly, instead of being like those rigid Japanese people who always wear either suits or kimonos for important events, thus spoiling the fun for the horse racing girls.

"Eh……"

Fei Tu Hu Po blinked. Although she didn't have many preferences or requirements for men's appearance, seeing a clean-cut and handsome man could still subconsciously improve her mood.

Moreover, if an ordinary person wore Kotobuki Toru's outfit like this, it would feel somewhat out of place, but when Kotobuki Toru wore it, it gave off a strong sense of otherworldly elegance...

So, Hitotsu Amber didn't hold back her praise: "TouTou, you look really good in this outfit, you look like you're in great shape... Actually, I originally thought you were going to dress up as an Onmyoji?"

Kotobuki Toru shrugged, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness: "Trainer Minamisaka also suggested that I become an Onmyoji, but my family has some connections with some Onmyoji families. Every year during the ancestral worship ceremony, I almost have to watch them perform their rituals... In private, we even have to refer to the weather forecast to predict the next day's weather. If the weather forecast is bad, they will be bad too... Over time, I've become demystified."

"And what are you wearing right now?"

Kotobuki Toru drew his sword, his fingertips tracing the inscriptions on the peach wood sword: "My older sister recommended these, from most expensive to cheapest: the peach wood sword is genuinely brought from Longhu Mountain in China, the clothes are an ancient-style long gown designed by Venus in China, and the jade pendant... is a cheap item sold at a street stall for 1,000 yen for ten."

Fei Tu Hu Po reached out and touched the jade pendant at Qin Chui Tou's waist. The cheap, plastic feel of it was immediately apparent, and she couldn't help but laugh. "Uh, I thought this jade pendant was very expensive..."

“I do have expensive jade, but with all the excitement tonight, I’m really afraid of breaking it… After all, I’m not a real cultivator with any protective inner energy.”

Qin Chui Tou smiled, his smile carrying a sense of vicissitude and coldness, as if he had seen through all the emotions and desires of the world.

Fei Tu Hu Po's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed slightly as she looked around. Just as she was about to find a topic to continue the conversation, horse girls began to gather around her.

"Wow, is that a sword immortal costume from China? If you went to a comic convention and participated in a cosplay competition, you could definitely win first place!"

The first update is here!

Please please ...

Chapter 485 Check-in Point - Kotobuki Toru

"Wow—that's so cool!"

The first to exclaim in amazement was a woman with bright yellow talismans pasted on her head. She was wearing a modified version of a traditional Chinese cheongsam, with pink piping outlining its smooth lines, and the double-breasted buttons folded like butterfly wings.

Judging from the overall appearance, it should be one of the traditional eerie creatures in China—a zombie.

Although she's a zombie, this horse girl is quite cute, without a trace of malice. Instead, she looks like a glutinous rice ball wrapped in brocade, so adorable that you want to pinch her cheeks, let alone scare anyone.

Fei Tu Hu Po vaguely remembered that this was a senior student named Alice Digital... Although she looked very young and cute, she was actually an old woman who had graduated many years ago.

While exclaiming in amazement, Alice Digital, like a zombie, put her feet together and hopped over to Kotobuki Toru, looking him up and down: "Wow, wow, wow, what amazing costumes and props! You really went all out for this test of courage..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuitou clasped his hands together, nodded, and lightly tapped his sleeves with his knuckles, performing a proper Chinese cupped-hand salute: "Haha, just a casual outfit."

Seeing that Kotobuki Toru was acting so convincingly and had really gotten into character, Alice Digital's lively eyes, which were completely out of character for a zombie, darted around as she greeted Hitoko Amber: "Amber-chan, Amber-chan! Help me take a picture with Kotobuki the Great Swordsman."

Having said that, she suddenly straightened her arms, her back ramrod straight, standing up like a stiff, lifeless zombie.

It would look even more like a peace sign if the fingers of both hands weren't forming a V-shape...

Kotobuki looked around, unsure of what expression to make, so she turned to Hishiko Amber, who was holding a phone, for help.

Fei Tu Hu Po is now Venus's vacation contracted model. In addition, with Narcissus's instruction and having learned Narcissus's "playing method", it should be no problem for her to guide her to pose.

Amber adjusted the aperture on her phone screen with her fingertips, glanced at Kotobuki Toru, and said calmly, "To fit the character, if you're playing a sword immortal, you'll naturally be slaying demons and monsters..."
