Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Kotobuki Toru nodded: "There are requirements for appearance, but with the development of diversified aesthetics, the requirements are not so many anymore... After all, it's easy to get into trouble if you say that A is not as good-looking as B..."

"Eh, I actually do have requirements regarding looks, huh?" Fei Tu Hu Po muttered to herself, "Well, I should be able to meet the looks standard, right?"

Kotobuki Toru glanced sideways at Hitoko Amber beside her. Hitoko Amber was resting her arm on the table, her little head tilted slightly toward her, intently looking at the draft paper. Her casual but pretty side bangs occasionally brushed against her arm. After switching her breathing and sense of smell to manual mode, Kotobuki Toru realized that her nose was already filled with the scent of amber and cheap shower gel emanating from Hitoko Amber.

The loose, cheap white short-sleeved shirt seemed to be sliding down the girl's incredibly smooth shoulders, revealing Hitoko Amber's delicate collarbone. Through the thin, slightly damp shirt, one could vaguely see the black Venus lingerie underneath... Sometimes, not knowing how to dress can actually create a unique effect.

Kotobuki Toru was taken aback by her simple and unadorned attire.

To be honest, in this situation, apart from the fact that the two of them are not at school... their interactions are just like those scenes often described online of male and female classmates sitting together and discussing problems.

Of course, the focus of online discussions wasn't on the topic itself, but rather on recounting what their past "white moonlight" was like...

Perhaps those old guys were too regretful, because they described the scene in such detail that even Kotobuki Toru was deeply impressed.

The regret of my childhood, where I sat alone at a desk without a classmate... could this be considered a way to make up for it in another form?

However, Kotobuki Toru was a little confused about whether Hitobuki Kohaku was a boy's deskmate or a girl's deskmate.

"Hey? What are you spacing out for? We're discussing a problem!"

"oh oh."

Kotobuki Toru snapped out of her daze, rubbed her nose, and continued, "Now, besides the requirement for good looks, the biggest difference between Triple Crown and Classic Triple Crown is the length of the racecourse. Classic Triple Crown has three races with medium to long distances, while Triple Crown has three races with medium to short distances. Horse girls who can run long distances but are not good at short distances will choose Classic Triple Crown, while other horse girls will choose Triple Crown."

"Hey... this is very similar to the distance requirements for physical education exams."

At this moment, Hibiki Amber stretched out her claws and pried open the hand that had been playing the zither. Then, in a very rebellious manner, she scattered the paper slips of the classic three crowns and the later three crowns, randomly picked out three of them, and asked, "Since these six matches are all 'three crown' events, what will happen if we mix them up? Will it be a loose three crown?"

"I didn't expect you to have learned to apply what you've learned to other situations!"

Kotobuki Toru rarely gave Hisako a thumbs up, "That's right, it's the random triple crown, but the professional term for it is 'variant triple crown'. The three champions that are randomly combined from these six matches can all be called the variable triple crown... However, such an achievement was only achieved once a very, very long time ago."

“Wow, I completely understand the Triple Crown now.” Scarlet Amber nodded. “But it shouldn’t have much to do with me now… Next question.”

"Who said it has nothing to do with you?"

Kotobuki Toru pressed down the workbook that Hitoko Amber was about to pick up. "Let's set a small goal for ourselves first, how about the Classic Triple Crown?"

Hitoko Amber stood up from her chair with a "thud." "Triple Crown? Me? I've only just debuted in the horse-drawn carriage race! How can you expect me to challenge Genichiro Ashina one-on-one when I've just learned to run and jump... A small goal? Why don't you set yourself a small goal of earning 100 million yen?"

Kotobuki shook her head with a smile: "Don't get so excited... Although you've only just debuted, you really don't have much time left. The first tournament with the Triple Crown will start next April. If you miss it, you'll have to change your age and wait until the year after next. Are you willing to wait?"

"Ah? So fast?"

Fei Tu Hu Po was taken aback, suddenly realizing that she really didn't have much time left. If she had to wait another year...

For athletes, time is incredibly precious; every second of their peak is precious, and no amount of money can bring them back later.

We really need to hurry...

"Then what should we do now?"

"Let's do the questions first, and I'll explain them to you. You can also brush up on some basic knowledge while you're at it... Even if you go to the race tomorrow, you still need to have some basic knowledge of racehorse girls, right?"

After saying that, Kotobuki Toru got up and continued to blow-dry Hitoko's hair. Actually, after so long, Hitoko's hair was almost completely dry.

But Kotobuki Toru just wanted to feel the texture of the hair more... It would be a shame not to touch such beautiful hair more often.

"Then, the next question..."

Two hours later.

"I can't take it anymore... My throat hurts, I don't want it."

After reading through a lot of questions, Fei Tu Hu Po threw down the workbook in her hand, put her arm on the table, and slumped down. "My voice will probably be hoarse by tomorrow... and I'm tired and sleepy."

Kotobuki glanced at the Hibiki Amber that had melted on the table like water, checked the time, and said, "It's only 12 o'clock. If you're tired, go back to your room and sleep. I'll read for a while longer."

"Ugh... I don't want to move anymore, I'm going to lie down for a bit..."

Fei Tu Hu Po shook the ears on the top of her head from side to side, probably using the movement of her ears to express her denial and refusal instead of waving her hands.

Clearly, over time, Hitotsu Amber has become increasingly adept at using the accessories on her body... but her usage might be a bit off.

Isn't ear-shaking something you do when shaking off water or swatting flies?

"Wake me up at one o'clock."

"it is good."

Qin Chui nodded, picked up his pen, and, fueled by the lingering excitement and anticipation from the day, continued his fierce battle.

……

"Um, neither of us slept in the bed yesterday, so could you give us a slightly lower price for the accommodation?"

"No, miss." The receptionist looked politely at the champion horse racer in front of her, inwardly marveling at how strong the horse racer was.

Yesterday's competition was so tough, and yet I still didn't sleep all night, and didn't even go to bed!

The racehorse girl's voice was hoarse, and the trainer had dark circles under his eyes, exuding an ethereal aura... making one worry that he might die in his own shop.

The shop assistant was a seasoned professional, so it wasn't hard for her to guess what those two had been up to last night...

It couldn't have been that he went to study, could it?

With a pained expression, Hitotsu Amber paid the room fee, rubbing her neck and gritting her teeth as she ran to Kotobuki Toru's side: "You bastard! Didn't we agree that I'd take a nap and you'd wake me up at one o'clock?"

Kotobuki Toru scratched his head. "I did call you at one o'clock..."

Does 1 PM count as 1 PM?

"I couldn't help it, I was too engrossed in studying... yawn."

"You're really something."

Last night, I told myself I'd just lie down for a bit and then leave, but I got so engrossed in playing the piano that I didn't get up for over ten hours straight! I didn't even wake myself up to go back to my room to sleep.

So Hitotsu Kohaku just slept on her desk for over ten hours until Kotobuki Toru couldn't hold back her urge to pee any longer and suddenly woke up from her problem-solving mode, only to find that it was already one o'clock in the afternoon... It would be no problem at all for someone like that to get into a top university.

Kotobuki Toru was also quite embarrassed. If he had known that he could learn so intently in one go, he would have already asked his phone's smart assistant to set an alarm for him.

But this all-night study session on the koto made me realize that I had never been able to concentrate on my studies to such an extent before. The feeling of tranquility and security was simply wonderful.

Having a silly dog ​​by your side... no, having a really good racehorse girl by your side just makes a difference.

Once aboard, Hibiki Kohaku maintained her habit of sitting on the right and placing her tail on the left, which made Kotobuki Toru, who had originally planned to catch up on sleep during the two hours on the Shinkansen, conflicted once again.

Now that everything has settled down, he and Hitoko Amber are not only friends, but also have a teaching and nurturing relationship... According to the plan, Hitoko Amber only has half a year left before she steps onto the G1 stage.

If Amber followed Oguri Hat to Central Tressen, she might already be undergoing running aptitude tests, or even waiting for the results.

Now that Hitotsu Amber hasn't left, even if she doesn't have to participate in the competition, we absolutely cannot stop for the next two months...

Lost in thought, Kotobuki Toru simply leaned back in his chair and fell asleep...

When Kotobuki Toru woke up, the Shinkansen had already arrived at Sapporo Station.

After a good night's sleep, I felt much better. I hadn't eaten breakfast or dinner, and my stomach started growling immediately.

Fortunately, it seems that Hitoko has already arranged a place to eat in the suburbs of Sapporo, which Hitoko says is a great value for money and a place where you can definitely get a full meal.

The taxi sped along, and thirty minutes later, we arrived at the outskirts of Sapporo. A restaurant with a lively, down-to-earth atmosphere was built on the roadside. Judging from the frequent delivery drivers carrying takeout orders out of the restaurant, it must be a well-established establishment with a great reputation.

What's even more surprising is that there was a luxury car covered with a car cover parked in front of the old store. Judging from the car logo showing on the front, it was an expensive Mercedes-Benz.

Kotobuki Toru exclaimed on the spot that he never expected that someone of such a high level of wealth would drive to such a small restaurant to eat!

Tasteful!

Walking beside Hitoko, Kotobuki Toru inquired about today's dinner: "By the way, has your racehorse girl friend gone yet?"

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded: "I just checked my phone and she said she's arrived... and is waiting for us in the private room. She told us not to rush."

"Oh wow, that's quite polite. Let me think about how to introduce myself properly..."

As she was thinking this, Hitotsu Amber still opened the door: "Sorry to keep you waiting, have a good dinner tonight? My trainer from the team I just formed is here."

Kotobuki followed closely behind Hitoko Amber into the room, already introducing herself as if to say something.

"Hello, my name is Kotobuki Toru, nice to meet you..."

Suddenly, Hitotsu Kohaku saw the noblewoman sitting on the sofa smile, while Kotobuki Toru, who was following behind her, froze as if he had been hit by a time-freezing spell.

After a long, long silence, Kotobuki Toru finally exclaimed in surprise...

"Donna?"

"Greetings, Qin playing instructor."

Hitotsu Amber looked delighted, glanced at Kotobuki Toru, and then at the noblewoman whose face was beaming with smiles. She exclaimed happily, "Oh, you two know each other? That saves us the trouble of introducing ourselves!"

wrong!

Fei Tu Hu Po suddenly remembered what the noblewoman had told her before: the name Dong Na is not something that can be known casually!

Generally, only those who are recognized by noblewomen and for whom there is a need to continue the relationship will know this name!

How did Kotobuki know that?

Then, Hitotsu Kohaku blinked and asked, "Um, can I ask how you two met? Why does Kotobuki Toru call you Touna?"

The lady finally laughed. "Pfft~ Fat Rabbit, do you want to know who that excellent trainer I wanted to introduce to you before was?"

Hitoko shook her head and stood next to Kotobuki Toru, expressing her unwavering loyalty through her actions.

"I already have a trainer, why should I listen to you? Didn't you call me a scumbag back then?"

"The trainer I want to introduce to you is named Kotobuki Toru."

"Eh?"

"And to answer your first question, how did we meet... because, Kotobuki trainer, strictly speaking, is my fiancé."

"Hey!"

This time, Fei Tu Hu Po couldn't hold back and rushed out, grabbing the hand that Qin Chui had used.

"Wait, buddy, how did you manage to hook up with a rich and beautiful girl?"

"Huh?" Kotobuki Toru, who was about to explain the situation to Hitoko, was stunned.

"How could you just marry into my family like that? Let me tell you, a man should have ambition. Marrying into someone's family may seem wonderful... but it can also be very happy... no, you should be self-reliant!"

Kotobuki Toru's expression instantly changed to one of barely suppressed emotion; it seemed that Hitobuki Amber had completely taken him for a son-in-law who had married into a wealthy family.

Fei Tu Hu Po was still grimacing with anxiety, "Let me tell you about Dong Na... she doesn't actually seem to have any bad points... but if you marry into their family, they definitely won't let you sit at the table for meals, that would be so uncomfortable. If you come with me, even though you won't get to eat well, you'll be my trainer, and I'll work a few extra jobs to make sure we both have enough to eat..."

Qin Chuitou was suddenly moved by the silly roe deer's crazy ramblings.

You might think she's a top-tier talent, a racehorse girl on a huge stage, but she cares more about every day she spends with you, every meal she eats.

"Alright, stop howling outside."

At this moment, the smiling noblewoman came out and nodded slightly to Kotobuki Toru: "This fat rabbit is fine except for being a little silly. I was originally planning to introduce her to you, but I didn't expect you two to meet on your own. What a coincidence... Congratulations, Kotobuki Trainer."

Then the lady reached out and tapped Fei Tu Hu Po on the head: "You're quite upright for not speaking ill of me in front of others, Donna, but I don't like what you just said about Kotobuki marrying into our family..."

If his elders heard these anti-heavenly words, they'd probably throw him and his bedding out that very night...

After calming down, the three of them returned to the dining table in the private room.

Although Hitotsu Kohaku's CPU couldn't process it, her instincts still kicked in. When choosing seats, she directly selected the central position, letting Kotobuki Toru sit to her right and the noblewoman to her left.

The lady sat back down at the table, still laughing heartily, and looked at Kotobuki with a mocking expression: "I never thought this fat rabbit would actually take you as his son-in-law. Kotobuki trainer, how do you feel now?"

Kotobuki Toru shrugged. "Given Kohaku's tendency to jump around in his thinking, it's already quite good that he didn't treat me like a gigolo you've been keeping."

"Huh? No matter how you reason, you can't possibly arrive at this conclusion, can you? You are..."

The lady suddenly looked at Hitotsu Amber as if she had just thought of something: "Fat Rabbit, it's been many years since I last saw Kotobuki Trainer. Could you reintroduce him to me?"

"Isn't he just a college student with really impressive training... no, just average, pretty laid-back college students?"

Fei Tu Hu Po raised an eyebrow, her face full of displeasure: "Are you trying to make fun of me? Aren't you two engaged? Why are you asking me this?"

The lady quickly waved her hand, her face full of displeasure: "Don't say that. I was just trying to disgust Kotobuki's trainer, but now you're making me sick too..."

Hibiki Amber continued to bar her teeth, her loyalty unwavering: "Huh? Why are you complaining about TouTou now?!"

The noblewoman shook her head, denying Hitotsu Amber's guess, then said angrily, "I don't dislike Kotobuki Toru as a person. What I dislike is the 'marriage relationship' of being betrothed before birth. Of course, I don't recognize this so-called 'fiancée' status either. I was just a placenta back then! You want me to get married? Go find a placenta to marry!"

So this is it—a childhood betrothal, a marriage arranged by childhood friends? No wonder I thought the wealthy lady had a story…

But in order to verify the noblewoman's statement, Hitoko turned to Kotobuki Toru beside her and asked, "Is that so?"
