Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

After shifting his body slightly, he sat diagonally in his seat and raised his legs towards Kotobuki Toru.

Qin Chuitou didn't hesitate for a moment, then opened his palm and grasped both of Fei Tu Hu Po's ankles in his hand.

After marveling at how slender her ankles were, Kotobuki Toru focused his attention on Hitoko Amber's ankles.

"So what exactly do you want to see?"

Hitoko Amber's face flushed pink as she felt that it was indeed inappropriate for her to have her legs propped up on Kotobuki Toru's body.

However, after only one glance, Kotobuki Toru took out his phone and started taking pictures of Hitokohaku's shoes from different angles and directions.

Fei Tu Hu Po still didn't understand. Did this guy have some special fondness for old shoes?

"After being reassigned to horse racing, you haven't looked at your shoes, have you?"

"correct."

"Now you'll understand."

Kotobuki Toru put Hitoko's foot down, and after swiping his phone a few times, Hitoko's phone rang immediately.

Hitotsu Kohaku picked up her phone, which was cracked, and unlocked the screen. Sure enough, she had already received the photos that Kotobuki Toru had just sent to her social media platform.

Upon opening the photo, it became clear that Fei Tu Hu Po understood.

The first photo is a picture taken by Kotobuki Toru from his toes looking down. The most obvious thing in the photo is the two worn-out soles of his shoes.

Of course, the fact that the soles of the shoes are worn flat is not the most critical issue. The most critical issue is that... there is a significant difference in the wear on the soles of the shoes. The wear on the soles of the left shoes is much greater than that on the right shoes, to the point that when the two shoes are placed together, they have a stepped texture.

"Eh? Eh?!"

As a former sports prodigy, Hitoko Amber naturally understood that the reason for this situation was usually due to leg length discrepancy or uneven force exertion during long-term strides.

First of all, I definitely don't have legs of different lengths. After all, I had already studied my body in depth the day I became a Uma Musume (horse racer), and there are absolutely no problems with my legs and feet.

So……

At this moment, Kotobuki Toru also spoke.

"You can see it, right? The wear on the soles of your shoes is very different. The wear on your left foot is more severe than that on your right foot, which proves that your dominant foot is your left foot. It might take a long time for a human to develop such wear marks, but you are a racehorse girl, so your shoes wear out much faster, and the wear difference appears very quickly. That's why I judged that you must be the kind of racer who likes to run left-turn tracks."

After seeing the shoes, Kotobuki Toru can confirm that Hitsuko is the kind of racehorse girl who doesn't exert force evenly on both feet... and the fact that the food gets shaken evenly when she delivers food is probably because she runs with one foot deeper than the other.

Originally, I said that I would just let Hitsukoha's future trainers suffer from headaches and hair loss, and I wouldn't do any more research myself.

But I didn't expect the boomerang to fly back so quickly.

It turns out I'm the one who's losing my hair?

Chapter 46 Foxes are still better

"In short, based on the current situation, you are better at running left turns, but whether the specific reason is that your left foot is too strong or your right foot is not strong enough still needs to be discussed and studied."

After thinking for a moment, Kotobuki Toru continued, "Anyway, being unbalanced in one subject is definitely not a good thing... You can't just withdraw from a race every time you have to run a right turn, can you?"

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded: "That's right, so how should we correct it?"

"It takes equipment and time to test before we can treat the problem effectively; it can't be rushed."

Kotobuki pressed his palms together. "That's why I said you were very lucky this time. The race track for the draft horse competition happens to be a left-turn track, so your dominant foot issue won't have a big impact on you in this competition... Let's put this issue aside for now and focus on the race."

As for the Hitotsu Amber, she is not the type of person who would dwell on future problems. As for future problems, she would deal with them when they come to her.

So the girl started scrolling through her phone, searching for information about Obihiro.

"Wow, I read in the travel guide that the pork chop rice at Obihiro is a must-try! I suggest eating pork chop rice for all three meals today and tomorrow."

As Fei Tu Hu Po spoke, she was already wiping away her drool.

"You can't eat this. Tomorrow's match is also considered strength training, so you need to eat easily digestible and easily absorbed carbohydrates. You should eat less protein and fat..."

Hitotsu Kohaku raised her index finger, signaling Kotobuki Toru to stop talking. "Did I call you Dad? And you're already planning my meals... No! I want pork cutlet rice!"

……

After a two-hour drive, the two arrived safely in Daiguang.

As soon as she stepped off the Shinkansen, the suddenly lower buildings and the even bluer sky noticeably improved Hitoko's mood.

The way her tail was held high and swaying made Kotobuki Toru, who was following behind her, wonder what kind of canine horse girl she was.

Fei Tu Hu Po hopped around a few times by the somewhat old cement road and sighed, "Indeed, this kind of remote and impoverished place is more suitable for someone like me... Tokyo, that kind of super-city full of extravagance and debauchery, just doesn't sound like a country bumpkin like me."

"You've never been to Tokyo, so how can you say it's not suitable for you?"

Kotobuki looked up at the sky. "Actually, there are many things that may seem terrifying or unsuitable for you at first glance, but after experiencing them firsthand, you will have a new experience."

"You're still pretending?" Hito Amber pouted, then suddenly realized, "Come to think of it, the address on your driver's license really does seem to be Tokyo, Mr. Kyo!"

"How do you even know this? Shouldn't driver's license information be kept confidential?"

"Um, our previous insurance company was quite detail-oriented... so they bought a lot of customer information." Hibiki Amber stuck out her tongue, changing the subject. "So, what's Tokyo like?"

"You'll know when you see it for yourself."

Kotobuki Toru quickly walked ahead of Hitoko Amber and headed towards the exit.

The midday sun was shining brightly, and it was foreseeable that tomorrow would also be a sunny and breezy day. Surrounded by mountains in the distance, a few steps from the platform, one could see a clear stream, the lifeblood of this land.

The nutrients transported sustained generations of residents in the area, as well as the pigs.

"Wow... This is Obihiro!"

As Hitotsu Amber gazed at the rolling pig statue in front of the station, the pink pig brazenly displaying its plump body to tourists from all over, implying to them, "When you come to Obihiro, you have to eat pork chop rice!"

"If I don't eat pork chop rice, who will make up for my protein deficiency?" Fei Tu Hu Po looked around and immediately spotted a pork chop shop on the street. "That's the one!"

"What? That's the place? Let's drop off our luggage first, then print out our admission ticket and go to the competition venue to check in!"

"Uh, okay..."

……

Hibiko Amber was quite meticulous when it came to finding a hotel.

At least it's better than Kotobuki Toru's prediction of booking a private room in an internet cafe or sleeping overnight in the waiting room of the competition venue.

The hotel is only three kilometers away from the competition venue, which is just a short walk away... Although it is small and cheap, the staff are nice.

From the moment the two entered the door, she served them tea, water, and slippers, showing meticulous care. However, a small problem arose during the check-in process.

"Miss Fei Tu, welcome to stay at our hotel."

After saying that, the shop assistant leaned close to Fei Tu Hu Po in a very aloof manner and asked in an almost whispered voice, "Do you need any rooms left?"

"what?"

Hotel customer service in big cities emphasizes professionalism and standardization, while guesthouse customer service in small cities emphasizes attentiveness and anticipation.

The shop assistant was quite knowledgeable and experienced.

A young, beautiful, and charming horse girl, and a man beside her who looks clean and neat, but has a pale and haggard face.

It's easy to guess what exactly happened between these two in the past few days...

Fei Tu Hu Po scratched her head: "What do you mean by 'how many rooms are left here'?"

"That means if you need it, we can leave you with only one double room or one waterbed room."

Fei Tu Hu Po was increasingly confused by what this young lady was saying. "Aren't there two rooms? I'll just take one standard room."

After saying that, Fei Tu Hu Po turned around and looked at Qin Chui Tou: "Tou Tou, do you want a king-size bed or a waterbed room?"

Kotobuki looked embarrassed: "What would I need that room for? I just want a standard room... I'll pay for it myself!"

If Hitotsu Amber were to pay for everything for her, the shop assistant would probably really think of her as a gigolo being kept by a racehorse girl.

"Okay, alright? Then two standard rooms, two nights, breakfast and lunch not included."

"It's okay, we'll have pork chop rice!"

"Go right away!"

After putting their luggage in the room, Fei Tu Hu Po immediately started clamoring to go eat pork chop rice.

But arguing was useless. Fearing that she would miss the registration time, and being a very punctual man, Kotobuki Toru forcibly dragged her to the venue for the horse racing event to register, undergo a medical examination, and collect supplies.

The draft horse racing track is a competition venue built entirely of metal. Its rugged style would be quite suitable for Russia. As soon as she entered the venue, Fei Tu Hu Po smelled a rusty smell that resembled blood. It is said that this smell comes from the metal structure of the shovel truck.

“Hitotsu Amber… Wow, what an adorable little horse girl! Now, please register your palm and foot prints here.”

Even the staff responsible for registration and guidance should all be retired horse-drawn carriage girls, each of them being at least 1.9 meters tall and having extremely shapely figures.

Compared to them, I felt like a husky that had infiltrated a pack of wolves...

Is it inappropriate to describe myself as a husky?

Let's keep it as a fox.

Chapter 47 Why are they able to dress so well?

This draft horse race was merely a debut event, and it didn't garner much attention; reportedly, only a few hundred spectators attended. However, neither the horse racing ladies' association nor the draft horse ladies' association took the competition lightly.

The rigorous medical examination and stricter identity verification process made Fei Tu Amber realize what meticulousness truly means.

When verifying foot prints, they don't even allow you to wear pantyhose; you have to run to the bathroom to take off your socks yourself.

You have to queue up again after taking off your socks!

The horse handler, looking at the petite horse girl in front of her, thought the girl was really strange.

I was perfectly fine wearing pantyhose, but as soon as I took them off and my legs were exposed, I blushed furiously...

But Fei Tu Hu Po really felt embarrassed. When she was wearing pantyhose, she felt like she was wearing clothes and pants, but once she took off the pantyhose, she suddenly felt like she was wearing nothing at all.

This idea is probably similar to the one in other racehorse girls where "not wearing shoes is the same as not wearing clothes." Now I can understand the noblewoman a little better.

While awkwardly waiting in line, Hitoko also encountered Samma-chan, who was also there to register and collect supplies. Each of them stood out with their tall and upright figures.

His first reaction upon seeing Hitoko wasn't to chat or get to know his rival... but instead, he grabbed Hitoko and asked for a photo, saying things like "She's cute even though she's small" and "Whose child is she?" which were rather unpleasant.

Although I don't think this chest fat is anything special, you can't say I'm small!

"Your foot print and palm print have been verified. Hito, this is the competition outfit prepared for you by the organizers. Remember to wear it when you compete tomorrow."

After being treated like a doll and played with by a group of muscular women for a while, Fei Tu Hu Po passed the on-site certification and physical condition test.

I also received a large bag of competition supplies, as well as instructions for the horse draft race.

[You may not touch other female horses or their pry barges by using your body or operating your own shovel cart; violators will be immediately disqualified.]

[Do not arbitrarily control the sled to move diagonally, or use the reins or sled to obstruct other horses' progress; violators will be penalized.]

Swearing is prohibited; violators will be penalized with time deductions.

"Can't we swear?"

Fei Tu Hu Po was somewhat surprised that this rule was actually written directly into the athletes' code of conduct. After all, in other sports, swearing is usually just a verbal warning, or even becomes part of the sports culture.

Even outside of sports competitions, there are plenty of people swearing in gyms where strength training is being conducted.

"After all, nobody in the world likes to see pretty girls swearing... They're all idols too, and they need to build up their popularity and fans."

Kotobuki Toru glanced at Hisako Amber beside her. Before becoming a Uma Musume, this girl was also a contestant who was close to achieving a hundred kills. "So? Do you want to say something?"

The Scarlet Amber immediately trembled twice as if it had been electrocuted.

"No, no, I won't do it again! You know what? Ever since I got sprayed in the face by a fountain pipe when I tried to swear, every time I open my mouth to swear, I immediately run into some kind of emergency, like getting hit on the head by a pine cone from a tree, or being lectured by a policeman who suddenly appears... It's too scary."

Kotobuki nodded, it seemed that the three goddesses' upbringing was indeed strict.

……

After completing most of the pre-competition work, Fei Tu Hu Po was finally able to arrive at the best-reputed pork chop rice restaurant in the area.

While the shop manager was cooking and frying pork chops, Fei Tu Hu Po, like a child eagerly unwrapping a gift, quickly emptied the supplies from the supply bag.

First, there is a nameplate with blood type, weight, and height written on it. It is said that this is so that in the event of a sudden incident in which the person falls into a coma, the doctor can understand the person's physical condition through communication.

This is not much different from my previous blood type.
