Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Looking at the smiling face of Alice Digital, Fei Tu Hu Po made a clean and decisive gesture, like wielding a knife: "Kotobuki? They even recommended a peach wood sword for your one-click equipment build, so of course it's time to kill, kill, kill! You've heard of Jiazi Demon Slayer, right? It suppresses evil spirits and sweeps away all demons!"

Kotobuki Toru was stunned: "Am I supposed to be a swordsman or the Great Western King...?"

"Huh? Are this year's juniors so brutal and bloodthirsty?" Alice Digital was startled by the suggestion made by Hitoko Amber, but after thinking about it, she felt there was no problem: "But what Amber-chan said makes sense... In China, peach wood swords are effective against zombies. Come on, Kotobuki Trainer, strike a pose to defeat me."

Qin Chui nodded, the peach wood sword in his hand falling lightly. His raised eyebrows and arrogant demeanor made Aili Digital feel as if a sword immortal who slays demons had come to take him away.

"Eh... Kotobuki trainer, have you studied acting?"

Standing not far away, Fei Tu Hu Po was also full of surprise, but she didn't stop taking pictures with her phone. She couldn't help but complain, "Men are born actors... They're best at things like holding a tree branch and pretending to be a swordsman, or taking a few steps and then turning around and jumping to throw something."

"Amber, you can even understand men?"

"It's just so-so."

Fei Tu Hu Po checked the photos she had just taken. As the saying goes, "If you read three hundred Tang poems, you can recite poetry even if you don't know how." Although Fei Tu Hu Po was not a professional photographer, she had taken so many portraits with Narcissus and seen so many photographers' work and camera techniques. The results she took were quite good, at least several levels better than the average "straight male" photographer.

"Hey tech geek, I'll share this photo with you."

"Mmm." Alice Digital moved closer to her, but her eyes lingered curiously on Amber. "Speaking of which, Amber-chan, everyone had so much fun today, why are you still wearing your Disciplinary Committee uniform? Does that uniform ward off evil spirits or something?"

Fei Tu Hu Po shook her head: "No, it's just that I haven't decided what to wear yet. Besides, I'm going to participate in the trial with my trainer, so if I'm dressed haphazardly, I won't feel like I belong."

"Then you'd better think about it quickly, since the event only lasts so long..."

Alice Digital held her phone, looking at the photos with a broad smile: "Speaking of which, these photos are really amazing! They give me the feeling of being brutally hacked to death... Can I send them to someone else?"

Fei Tu Hu Po waved her hand dismissively, "Senior, do as you please. Photos are meant to be seen by others."

But soon, Hitotsu Amber began to regret her generosity. She had really underestimated the influence of the graduated horse girls and their interest in joining in the fun.

Clearly, Aili Digital really liked the photos taken by Hitoko Amber and admired Kotobuki Toru's makeup and styling. As soon as she got Hitoko Amber's approval, she posted the photos on the Uma Musume forum and her social media accounts.

This was quite something. Today's event appeared to be offline, but almost all the horse girls and trainers were actually exploring the area while simultaneously sharing their experiences on forums or social media platforms.

As soon as Aili Digital posted this photo, it immediately attracted widespread attention from the fans. They didn't really care about Kotobuki Toru's looks, but what was really rare was that there was someone dressed up as a Chinese deity at this event... That's quite a rare sight!

As a result, the girls who were nearby immediately started making a fuss and rushed to Kotobuki Toru, asking to take a picture with him...

During the photo session, Hibiki Amber, as always, displayed a strong aggressiveness; whenever any horse girl came, she offered only one piece of advice—

"Everyone, get into a pose as if you're about to take them down!"

"Mummy? Kill! Vampire? Kill! Hanako? Kill!"

"In short, it's all about killing! Killing! Killing!"

……

Therefore, Kotobuki could only keep a straight face and adopt a cold, sword-pointing posture towards each person taking a photo, conveying the theme that "humans and demons cannot understand each other" from top to bottom.

What's even more bizarre is that as Kotobuki Toru "killed more and more," the girls who came to take photos with him even asked him to strike a cold and ruthless pose as if he was about to kill the monsters.

Kotobuki Toru initially offered well-intentioned suggestions, saying that besides drawing his sword to kill people and performing physical exorcisms, he could also perform other actions, such as twirling his sword... However, Kotobuki Toru's suggestion was immediately rejected by everyone.

From the discussions among the female riders, it's clear that this seemingly cold and ruthless interactive action has become an essential part of everyone's daily check-in routine.

The second update is here! Please, please, please, please!

Chapter 486 I want to wear a scary outfit too...

Within a short fifteen minutes, Kotobuki became a mobile photo spot for the Teresa Horse Girls.

The spotlights flashed like fireflies as the girls surrounded him in the center of a human wall. Amidst the rustling of their clothes, he looked like a flower trapped by a swarm of bees, not even having a chance to raise his hand to straighten his collar.

Leaning against the edge of the crowd, Scarlet Amber pouted, her crimson ear tips flashing an impatient curve in the twilight:

"This monkey isn't for sale, but taking a picture costs five yuan..."

"Don't touch it. If you get bitten, you'll be responsible for the consequences."

These words were ostensibly a warning to the onlookers, but the veiled contempt was directed entirely at Qin Chui. Upon closer listening, there was even a barely perceptible hint of jealousy.

After a long wait, the horse girls who loved to join in the fun gradually dispersed, and Kotobuki Toru's number of demons and monsters exceeded 50, making his KDA off the charts and making him the most popular.

But as the two walked side by side toward the mountain path, just as Kotobuki Toru was about to get closer, Hitoko Amber jumped back two steps as if she had been burned, looking at Kotobuki Toru with a respectful distance.

Kotobuki Toru scratched his head, puzzled: "Eh, what's going on? What's this all of a sudden?"

Fei Tu Hu Po turned her face away, her beautiful jawline forming an arrogant curve. "I am ashamed of myself. You are a divine being. I am not worthy of you. I am only fit to be a photographer."

"Anxious?"

"no!"

Fei Tu Hu Po gritted her teeth, ready to fight Qin Chui Tou, but Qin Chui Tou dodged and grabbed the base of her tail.

Once its tail was caught, Hibiki Amber immediately went limp and made cute whimpering sounds.

Kotobuki Toru playfully pinched Hitoko Amber's tail and soothed her, "Alright, alright, let's not waste time here... Let's go eat first, and after we do some shopping, I'll take you to pick out some cosplay outfits. You can change into a cool one then."

"Hey, any recommendations?"

"I highly recommend the mummy bandage outfit... being covered in bandages from head to toe really brings out your unique style."

"What's special about it? Is it a unique color?"

That mummy-like bandage outfit, I've seen it several times already... The main features are simplicity and lightness - just buy some bandages and anti-exposure stickers online, stick them on and wrap yourself up, and you're done. Full body covered, although there is almost no exposure, it exudes an undeniable sense of allure.

"I heard that Super Xiaoxi is wearing this outfit, I wonder if I'll get to see her later..."

"You'll know once you go and take a look."

As dusk settled over the seaside streets for dinner, the two found a local food stall by the roadside and sat down.

The limited-edition menu for the Ghost Festival and the Test of Courage is laid out on the wooden table: Chinese glutinous rice served in lotus leaves, Japanese-style fried soybeans sprinkled with coarse salt, and European and American exorcism garlic roasted until charred black.

Fei Tu Hu Po poked at the garlic cloves in the bowl with her chopsticks, her brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito. She simply pushed the whole plate to Qin Chui Tou and then ate the glutinous rice dumplings in small bites.

"No wonder these things can exorcise ghosts... I can barely eat anymore..."

"Just... just consider it an experience." Kotobuki gulped down the raw matcha in his mouth, trying to neutralize the garlic taste. He grimaced from the bitterness, tears welling up in his eyes.

However, from an outsider's perspective, Kotobuki Toru's expression seemed more like one of deep sorrow and resentment, full of vicissitudes and stories. In contrast, the Hitobuki Amber standing next to him looked like a little spirit pet that had just taken human form and was full of curiosity about the world.

The couple was simply oblivious to it.

------

After dinner, the two strolled along the seaside road for a while before heading towards the entrance of the test of courage event.

When we reached the registration point at the top of the mountain, the noise almost shook the night sky. Compared to the leisurely atmosphere of the seaside vendors, the horse girls here were clearly in a state of excitement.

Those who can trek two kilometers from the seaside to the deep mountains and forests without being scared away by the ghostly scenery along the way are mostly players who are determined to participate in the test of courage.

There are many acquaintances here.

With a casual glance, Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru saw the young master trainer Minamisaka leading a group of horse girls under her command at the registration desk to sign in.

The horse girl standing in the ticket hall looked troubled: "Eh, Trainer Minamisaka... if you buy so many tickets and go in with so many horse girls at once, the horror factor will be greatly reduced. We recommend going in pairs..."

As we all know, the core formula of horror stories and movies is to leave people alone or lost, and the feeling of isolation and helplessness is the most effective way to increase the sense of terror.

If a hundred people sat together watching Sadako crawl out of the TV, Sadako would definitely be the one feeling awkward.

You don't even need a hundred people... Just put five black men in front of the TV, and even Sadako (the ghost from the TV series) probably wouldn't dare to crawl out of the TV!

"I know."

Trainer Minamisaka nodded, indicating he understood the horse girl's meaning. But looking back at the horse girls behind him who seemed to hate each other and were practically about to fight, he whispered, "If you forced me to choose one of them to go in with you, that would be a horror story! They really would 'split up' and tear me apart. So let's all go together..."

"Since it was you who made the request, I won't say anything more." The receptionist handed a booklet to Nansaka. "This is the event guide and your pass. Have a good trip!"

Minamisaka took the manual and waved to Kotobuki Toru: "Kotobuki, I'm going in first."

"Go ahead, go ahead! Have fun!"

Then, Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru saw the two horse girls, led by Twin Turbine and Excellent Quality, snuggle up to Minamisaka, saying things like, "Trainer, I'm so scared." and "Trainer, let's go together." as they huddled into Minamisaka's arms.

Squeezed by the forces from the left and right, Nansaka's feet were lifted off the ground... It looked as if he was being carried up the mountain trail by the two horse girls.

Not long after the figure of one person and several horses disappeared into the darkness, Fei Tu Hu Po heard several screams from the horse girls. Judging from the tone, it should be the sound of the twin turbines.

A few seconds after the twin-turbo scream, Nansaka let out a howl, it was unclear whether she was frightened or pinched by her own horse.

As Fei Tu Hu Po gazed at the flickering will-o'-the-wisps deep in the dense forest, her eyes gleamed with excitement: "But no matter what, I think it's quite interesting."

Kotobuki Toru stretched his body, his face also full of anticipation, "Let's go, let's go, I want to see why that kid Minamisaka was yelling so loudly just now..."

------------

The first update is here!

Please please ...

Chapter 487 Why don't you come and help scare people too? (3000)

"Well then, have a great time! And have a safe trip!"

After registration, Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru walked together onto the mountain trail.

The dense shade in the mountains and forests is like ink spilled on an inkstone, and the bluestone path winds underfoot. After only a hundred steps, the noise of the registration point is filtered into the distant chirping of cicadas, leaving only the dampness of the forest grass and trees wrapped in a cool breeze, peeling away the sense of reality inch by inch.

"TouTou, are you scared?"

Fei Tu Hu Po looked up at the night sky. There was no moon or stars tonight. The trail was lit entirely by cell phone flashlights and lanterns placed by the roadside. The faded talismans printed on the dim yellow paper rustled in the wind, sounding like someone whispering.

A cold wind swept through the forest, lifting Hitotsu Amber's crimson hair. Even though it wasn't particularly cold, there was still a sinister and terrifying feeling about it.

"well enough?"

Kotobuki straightened his back, deliberately making his steps steady. "And you?"

"I..." Hitotsu Amber tilted her head, originally intending to wave her hand to show a nonchalant attitude, but after looking at Kotobuki Toru, the girl decisively blinked her beautiful eyes: "Scared! Scared to death!"

After saying that, Fei Tu Hu Po quickly moved closer to Qin Fu Tou, snuggling into his arms like a coquettish red fox, and continued, "Demons and monsters roam this place. I beg the Sword Immortal to take action and protect this humble woman."

Qin Chuitou felt a warm, soft jade slip into his arms, a pair of soft and elastic things pressing against his chest. Without even looking, he knew that the girl's breasts, which could make any man's soul yearn, must have been pressed into perfect roundness at this moment.

“No wonder even Fahai couldn’t withstand it back then…” Qin Chuitou’s old face flushed slightly as he pinched Fei Tu Hu Po’s soft, boneless waist: “But isn’t this too much of a smooth reading, too deliberate?”

Kotobuki Toru didn't believe that Hitsukohaku could be so easily frightened. In terms of bloodline, if you go back a thousand years, Hitsukohaku's ancestors were hardcore ruthless people who could crush enemy chests and grind out brains on the battlefield... so naturally, they wouldn't be frightened by such a small scene.

Hitotsu Amber held Kotobuki Toru's hand and pulled him forward slowly, chuckling softly as she said, "Well, I don't believe you haven't fantasized about little girls screaming and jumping into your arms when you enter a haunted house."

Kotobuki Toru was also honest: "I've thought about it... I think every guy has probably fantasized about playing murder mystery games or haunted houses with pretty girls."

"So, I've fulfilled your dream, and incidentally, I've also fulfilled mine... Although I'm now the one screaming in fright, my dream of going to a haunted house and participating in a test of courage with the person I like has come true..."

Hitoko grabbed Kotobuki Toru's hand and stepped over the broken Barbie doll on the ground. When the light shone on the Barbie doll's mutilated face and bloodstained body, Hitoko even acted very humanly as if she was frightened, directly pressing her weight onto Kotobuki Toru, just like a frightened little deer.

Kotobuki Toru felt her protective instincts instantly kick in. "Wow, Kohaku, is your acting really that convincing?"

"Actually, I think I should have screamed a few more times?"

Hitoko Amber stuck out her tongue, her gaze sweeping over the teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll-shaped object resembling a hanged figure) dangling from the tree. She sighed, "But speaking of which, this atmosphere is indeed a bit scary... Also, you over there, the student perched in the tree, I can already hear your breathing, and the sound of you trying not to laugh."

Hitokohaku, who had been chatting with Kotobuki Toru and acting all sweet and cuddly, suddenly looked up at a rather ordinary tree not far away...

"Is it just a little scary? But Amber-chan, your ears are really sharp..."

Just as Kotobuki Toru was filled with doubt and suspicion, searching for his target by following Hitokohaku's gaze, Itsuki spoke first...

Kotobuki Toru subconsciously asked, "It can talk, what kind of Vietnamese tree is this?"

I was speaking Japanese.

The dense foliage rustled as a pair of hands wrapped in grayish-white bandages parted the leaves.

Immediately afterwards, a horse girl draped in a white veil was hung upside down, the veil swaying in the wind. Even Kotobuki Toru, who was mentally prepared, still felt a shiver run down his spine.

In this dark and gloomy night, a white ghostly figure suddenly appeared upside down in front of the nervous tourists, which could really scare people to death... and it was probably here that the trainer's horse girl team suffered a loss.

Fei Tu Hu Po took the initiative, so her reaction was naturally not as violent as that of the Twin Turbines. She even had the leisure to draw the peach wood sword from behind Qin Fukito's back and point it at the white shadow hanging on the tree: "Who are you?"

The horse girl hanging on the tree did not reply to Hitotsu Amber directly. She simply adjusted the thin veil on her body, making the veil cling tightly to her skin... revealing her graceful figure and the huge treasure chest at her chest, which drooped in a teardrop shape due to gravity.

Without needing to look at faces or exchange words, Hito Amber recognized the other person immediately: "Super Little Creek Senior?"

“Clever.” The Hanged Man flicked the dangling bandages, revealing his gentle and beautiful face. “I was planning to wrap the bandages around you when you came over, Amber.”

"Wow, how despicable." Hito Amber imagined the scene from that perspective and felt a chill run down her spine. "What about the screams from Minamisaka Twin Turbine and the others just now?"
