Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Author: Drunken Cat

Summary:

A heavy rain and a car accident ruined my sports dream.

There is no other way, I can only accept the adjustment.

Although I chose to accept the adjustment when filling out the application form, how come my race was also adjusted?!

The horse girl with red hair and golden eyes—Hito Amber—looked at the statue of the horse girl goddess and shouted.

But if you think about it carefully...it seems like this might work?

A strong physique, excellent legs and feet, everything is good except that the body weight distribution is a little unreasonable.

In that case, let’s pick up our sports dreams again and see you at the top!

"Mr. Qinbuki Tou, let's make this clear! We've entrusted our respective dreams to each other, and we can be considered a community of shared destiny, but let's be clear: you can't fall in love with me!"

"Don't worry, I will never fall in love with you. Don't disbelieve me, if I fall in love with you, I will be your dog, okay?"

The First Year of Hitotsu Kohaku and Kotobuki Toru

Chapter 1: Obeying the Assignment! Then I was assigned to be a racehorse girl!

"A heavy rain ruined my sports dream, or maybe it was that car accident? If I can't become a student with special talents... what major would be suitable for me?"

"Is your family wealthy? What are your parents' financial situation like?"

"Without parents, I'm barely managing to keep myself from starving by working odd jobs."

"Then apply for civil engineering. You're born for this. There are no exams for jobs, only welcome ceremonies... Or maybe take another year to mature? See you at the top? A second attempt is also a good option."

……

In a fountain garden on the outskirts of Tokyo, Aokawa Lake put down his phone, its screen cracked, and sat somewhat dazedly on the marble platform by the fountain.

As the sun sets, the autumn sunlight, which had been somewhat warm, is now blocked by the elegant statue at the center of the fountain. Qingchuan Lake, who has been sitting here for who knows how long, suddenly feels a little cold... and a little lonely.

Qingchuan Lake turned its head to look up at the tall and elegant plaster statue of the Three Goddesses beside it.

"You just spray water here all day long, without doing anything meaningful in return..."

Speaking of which, this goddess statue has quite a connection to me; it was the dump truck transporting this statue that hit me.

Unfortunately, the dump truck didn't kill him and send him to another world; instead, it completely destroyed his right leg.

To this day, Qingchuan Lake still remembers the sight of numerous medical steel nails and solid metal piercing through his legs, piecing his "legs" back together.

This would be a nightmare for anyone, especially for an orphan student like himself who has no connections and can only rely on his track and field talent.

"Actually, I would still like to keep running in my next life."

Qingchuan Lake stared at the statues of the goddesses and said softly.

The square remained silent, save for the mournful sound of the fountain water falling into the pool.

"Alright, even crying has its time limit..."

Qingchuan Lake slapped his face hard, forcing himself to smile again. Then he picked up his phone again, wrote "Civil Engineering" on the college application form, and prepared to click the submit button.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, or you might ruin your life."

Just as Qingchuan Lake's thumb was about to touch the submit button on the phone screen, a clear, pleasant, and amused voice entered his ears.

Looking up, he saw a woman whose attire was rather unseemly standing in front of him. She was shrouded in a pure white robe and wore a hood, making it impossible to see her face or body.

Logically, at this point, Qingchuan Lake should have taken out his phone to call the police or quickly gotten up and moved away from this strangely dressed man before he shouted "Allahu Akbar".

But whether it was because of the woman's gentle voice or her aloof stance, Qingchuan Lake felt no threat or tension at all; in fact, he even felt a sense of familiarity...

Under this inexplicable sense of closeness, Qingchuan Lake took the initiative to speak to the person in front of him: "Excuse me, why did you say earlier that you didn't want me to submit this enrollment intention?"

"You haven't checked the boxes for your other majors or whether you're willing to be assigned to another major, have you?"

"My score may be low, but it's good enough for this major."

The woman in white crossed her arms, her tone filled with disappointment: "Can't you have even a little bit of ambition? In China, even if high school students don't do well on the college entrance exam, they still fill in Tsinghua or Peking University as their choices when applying to universities..."

"But I don't have any other majors I want to apply for."

"For example, the most popular major, horse racing girl? Whether it's job prospects or anything else, it's top-notch, right?"

Qingchuan Lake waved his hand to indicate that he had no intention of causing trouble. "Forget it, with my score, I feel like I'd only be adding to the staff's workload."

"So you don't dislike Uma Musume?"

"Why would I hate them?" Qingchuan Lake didn't understand why the white-robed girl in front of him would ask him such a question, but he still sighed: "To be honest, I am quite envious of them who can run freely."

"Oh, I see." The woman in white seemed pleased to hear that Qingchuan Lake liked racehorse girls, her tone filled with delight: "Then I'm relieved. In that case, let me ask you verbally: if possible, would you be willing to accept a transfer and live the life of a racehorse girl?"

Living the life of a racehorse girl? Does that mean working in the racehorse girl industry?

"Of course I'd be willing... The salary is high, the benefits are good, at least I wouldn't have to live on a shoestring like I do."

"Eat dirt, eat dirt~" The girl in the white robe clapped her hands. "I've got it!"

"What did you think of?"

"You'll see later~" The girl in the white robe hopped around and turned around. "The track ahead will be full of challenges and obstacles, but please keep running... Also, I'm sorry about bumping into you before, but the compensation will be here soon!"

Qingchuan looked at the white-robed girl who was skipping and jumping away, completely bewildered. "What are you talking about? You didn't bump into her, so why are you apologizing?"

But the girl disappeared from sight of Qingchuan Lake in just a few steps.

"Forget it, let's go back and rest. We have work to do tomorrow."

……

The next morning, at the same fountain park in Hokkaido, a group of elderly men and women who were doing their morning exercise witnessed a bizarre yet amusing scene.

A stunningly beautiful racehorse girl, disregarding the autumn chill, jumped barefoot into the fountain pool, her face filled with disbelief and complex emotions. She pointed at the goddess statue's nose and began to question it.

"The kind of adjustment you're talking about! Is this the kind of adjustment you're talking about? How come I was directly adjusted to be a Uma Musume Girl?!"

Just as the onlookers were about to go up and persuade the little girl, she answered a phone call.

"Hey... Is it time for work yet, Amber? Are you calling me? Oh... I'm awake, I'll be right there, right there! Eugene! Please don't count me as late! And please don't deduct that!"

Then, the incredibly beautiful racehorse girl galloped off into the distance.

Chapter Two: The Customer Service Girl Came Through the Internet Cable to Hit You!

【Uma Musume, girls born to run, possessing extremely strong athletic talent, with long, slender ears on their heads and flowing tails behind their waists as their most distinctive physical characteristics...】

In the specialized classroom of students majoring in horse racing trainers at Hokkaido University.

Kotobuki Toru propped up his nearly worn-out textbook, then bent down, completely concealing himself behind the thick book.

Looking at the introduction to Uma Musume on the title page of the textbook, Kotobuki Toru happily stuffed a piece of tempura into her mouth.

The mentor on stage was still rambling on about his love-hate relationship with 108 racehorse girls when he was young, which sounded to Qin Fukuto like the melodious violin playing in a restaurant.

For a senior student who is about to graduate and is working hard on his thesis every day, perfectly fried tempura, with its rich aroma, is undoubtedly a comfort to both the mind and body.

Eating in class! So satisfying!

After a silent sigh, Kotobuki Toru prepared to try the rich and delicate tonkotsu ramen broth again, but just as he brought the tonkotsu ramen to his lips...

Sixty years from now, we'll meet again—and be sent to the crematorium, burned to ashes.

A passionate song, brimming with anticipation for the future, pierced through the pocket of the piano.

To be precise, it rang from the cell phone in his pocket.

Under normal circumstances, Kotobuki Toudai could immediately hang up the phone with one click as soon as the first line was played.

But now... he's holding a bowl in one hand, chopsticks in the other, and a bowl of tonkotsu ramen in his mouth.

So Qin Chui's phone started playing a cheerful song, which inadvertently attracted the attention of the whole class.

"Clap."

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, and when the boat is late, it encounters a headwind. When everyone in the class turned around and focused their attention on her, the textbook that Qin Chui had used as cover unfortunately collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, the instructor's gentle yet somewhat unsettling voice came from beside her: "Kotobuki-san, please explain the current situation. Do you have anything to say?"

Kotobuki Toru slurped the noodles into his mouth, then suddenly stood up and answered without thinking, "Tonkotsu ramen, so delicious."

The professor was stunned, and so were the students.

"go out."

Kotobuki Toru was on the verge of tears. He glanced at the tonkotsu ramen on the table, which he had only taken one bite of and was still steaming hot, but in the end, he couldn't muster the courage to take the ramen out.

……

Under everyone's gaze, Kotobuki Toru walked out of the classroom with a face full of embarrassment, and then immediately took out his phone, which was still vibrating and singing.

The smartphone's number matching function has thoughtfully provided information about the caller—it's a sales call from an insurance company.

Kotobuki Toru felt like she was about to have a stroke from anger. She hadn't even gotten to eat tonkotsu ramen today, had been looked down upon by everyone, and had even angered her mentor, all because this insurance company suddenly called to recommend insurance to her!

How could I possibly have a pleasant expression then?

Kotobuki Toru decisively pressed the answer button, and a strangely pleasant voice from the telephone customer service representative came through.

"Hello, are you from Hokkaido University...?"

I'm going to block you! And I'm going to report you!

"Eh?"

Before the customer service representative on the other end of the line could react, Kotobuki Toru hung up the phone.

A few seconds later, the customer service company automatically dialed a follow-up rating call.

Zero points! Absolutely zero points!

Qin Chui Tou pressed a series of zeros as a rating. He gave a bad review if he wanted to. Did the other party expect him to come to his door and tell him what he really was?

Besides, no one is making up for the nutritional deficiencies I'm experiencing...

After giving a bad review and immediately blocking the insurance company's phone number, Kotobuki Toru's anger subsided. After calming down a bit, Kotobuki Toru realized that even standing outside the door, he could hear the teacher's loud voice amplified through the loudspeaker in the classroom.

[Everyone, calm down and stop gloating. Don't be fooled by the fact that I kicked Kotobuki out; his theory grades are still the best among you. Instead of gloating, think about your own futures.]

[Now that graduation is just around the corner, most of you will likely pursue careers related to Uma Musume, becoming Uma Musume trainers or instructors at Uma Musume academies.]

[As someone who's been there, I have a suggestion: while you're still in school, take the initiative to look for internships at Uma Musume Academy and get to know the Uma Musume girls... Excellent Uma Musume girls are rare and hard to come by. Don't study yourself silly and wait for them to come to you; there's no such thing as a free lunch!]

Standing outside the classroom, Kotobuki Toru crossed her arms, gazing up at the high ceiling, keeping her mentor's words in mind...

In this remote area of ​​Hokkaido, where are there so many racehorse girls to meet?

Perhaps because they became much more obedient after being kicked out of the classroom, time passed quickly as they listened attentively to the lesson. When the bell rang, the students, who had been listening intently, filed out, some rubbing their hands together eagerly, others straightening their clothes and composure, as if they were about to meet their lifelong racehorse companions.

"Kotobuki Toru, your noodles are still in the classroom. Even though they've been there for so long, you're not allowed to waste food."

The mentor mingled with the students and came out together. He patted Kotobuki Toru on the shoulder earnestly and said, "You are my most promising student. You heard me speaking so loudly just now, right? Go and find me a chance to get close to Saima Musume. Saima Musume won't approach you on her own."

"I will try my best..."

Qin Chuitou nodded, agreeing with his mentor's point of view, and then...

"Who is Kotobuki Toru?!"

The loud and clear sound pierced through the students chatting during the break and clearly reached Kotobuki Toru's ears, causing him to subconsciously stop everything he was doing.

The students in the college are all in the prime of their youth. It is perfectly normal for people to make a lot of noise and shout during the day. But for some reason, the group of students walking in front of Kotobuki all stopped in their tracks. Some even stood on the side of the road, revealing a path in perfect unison.

In a person's life, there will always be a few moments and scenes that they will never forget until they die.

Just like now.

At the far end of the parting crowd, there was a crimson figure, like a flame, like the sun. Under the midday light, it was so dazzling that it could imprint its image in everyone's eyes and hearts.
