Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

I also hope that Kotobuki Toru can be a happy single person like me...

However, this is probably impossible.

The lady pretended not to see the struggle in Hito Amber's eyes, and continued, "Then, the Takasho Junichi family and the Kotobuki Toru family usually do some small business, so their interactions at the dinner table are inevitable... So, Kotobuki Toru's father was worried that his son would be a bachelor for life, and coincidentally, the Takasho family has three racehorse girls, so they were matched up."

Hitotsu Amber stood up abruptly, looking at Kotobuki Toru with a mixture of confirmation and accusation: "Toru, you're not some protagonist from a novel, are you? How come you even know this kind of sisterly trope..."

Envy! Jealousy! Annoyance!

Chapter Sixty-Seven: You're the biggest philanderer!

"What sisters and cousins? What a load of nonsense..."

Before Kotobuki Toru could even begin to explain, the noblewoman waved her hand, interrupting Hitoko Amber's completely irrational analysis. "What are you thinking... How could noble parents possibly entrust all three of their daughters to Kotobuki Toru?"

Fei Tu Hu Po pressed on, "What's going on?"

"It's probably because... both sets of parents said they wanted their children to get to know each other better, and that they could choose whichever one they clicked with..."

The lady glanced at Gao Shangjunyi, who was sitting silently to the side, but whose ears were trembling like radar. "And you probably know what happened... Kotobuki trainer just ran away, so let alone falling for each other, this is probably the first time Kotobuki trainer has ever spoken to Gao Shangjunyi."

It's important to know that Kotobuki Toru is exceptionally wary of Uma Musume Girls, and his approach to things is one of extreme caution against having too much contact with them... Although the noblewoman herself couldn't figure out how Hitoko Amber had become so close to Kotobuki Toru.

But given Takashiro Junichi's "catching someone cheating" expression and tone when talking to Kotobuki Toru... it's no wonder that Kotobuki Toru and Takashiro Junichi would never hit it off...

Gao Shangjunyi immediately shook his head: "No, no, no! I'm not in it!"

In order to distance himself from this heartless man, the socially awkward kid spoke much more fluently.

"I, a racehorse girl like me, am not worthy of Mr. Kotobuki. Anyway... I used to think that only Sister Gyokumine could be worthy of such an excellent man and trainer as Mr. Kotobuki... But now, I'm starting to have doubts."

Hearing what Gao Shangjunyi said, Fei Tu Hu Po couldn't help but sigh that this younger sister was actually thinking about her older sister. Kotobuki Toru... is indeed an excellent trainer.

As for whether a man is good or not, I don't know...

However, although Gao Shangjunyi thinks that his older sister and Kotobuki Toru would be a good match, whether it's finding a trainer or a fiancé... it ultimately depends on the wishes of both parties, right?

Fei Tu Hu Po glanced sideways at Gao Shang Jun Yi, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Then... what is your sister, Miss Ji Feng's, opinion on this matter?"

"I know that."

The lady chuckled, a hint of amusement in her smile.

Although the noblewoman always relied on her extensive knowledge and information gaps to deceive Hitoko Amber, it is undeniable that the intelligence and gossip she possessed were far beyond what ordinary racehorse girls could match.

I should still ask, because if I get tricked by her... well, at least I'll get a boost to my intelligence.

"Don't worry, the information I have is absolutely true!" The noblewoman patted her chest, which was even larger than that of the Scarlet Amber, and assured her, "After all, Extreme Peak and I are quite good rivals~ As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is always your rival!"

Anyway, Jifeng had mentioned Kotobuki Toru's attitude and thoughts more than once at banquets, so it was no longer a secret.

"Gyokuhou definitely has no interest in marrying Kotobuki Toru. She's the kind of person who's always nagging and gossiping... Takasho Junyi, don't look at me like that. I'll say it again: if you're unhappy, let's have a showdown between nobles."

While discussing the peak, she didn't forget to provoke and mock Takanojo Junichi. Kotobuki Toru and Hitoko Amber, who were present, gained a new understanding of the extremely poor relationship between these two racehorse girls.

If these two met, wouldn't they start fighting on the spot?!

Seeing that Gao Shangjunyi had timidly buried his face in the shadow of his high-brimmed hat, the noblewoman continued in high spirits.

"Let's not talk about gossips... just talk about that kind of older sister type personality. They say they're gentle older sister type, but actually they have a strong desire to take care of others and control them. Kotobuki trainer is the type who absolutely refuses to be controlled..."

Kotobuki Toru nodded slightly, acknowledging the noblewoman's assessment of him; in fact, he felt that the noblewoman's assessment was quite accurate.

“And then there’s the part I find most interesting.” The lady held up her finger and shook it from side to side: “Although Gyokumine isn’t very interested in Kotobuki Toru, she thinks that Kotobuki Toru’s relatively steady personality is quite suitable for her youngest and most mischievous third sister, Kyoku.”

Upon hearing the noblewoman's analysis, Gao Shangjunyi felt a chill. The first thought that flashed through Gao Shangjunyi's mind was that he didn't believe what the noblewoman said. However, as a family, the three racehorse girls naturally had a common chat group. Considering what his sister had said recently, and the fact that he hadn't seen Kotobuki Toru for four or five years...

The lady's deductions were indeed spot on!

Gao Shangjunyi froze on the spot. He had been trying to set up his older sister with Qin Chui Tou, but...

"So, it turns out that Sister Gyokumine has absolutely no interest in Mr. Kotobuki? Is this what they call a loveless engagement? Then what about the forceful attack..."

Kotobuki Toru quickly corrected him: "Neither of us has promised anything... We're just strangers who've met at most."

Fei Tu Hu Po was completely bewildered. As someone in the doll collecting circle, she never imagined that Gao Shang Jun Yi's family could be so complicated, with one thing leading to another, and the other tightly linked. "Then... since this 'fiancée' of Ji Feng has never agreed to it, then may I ask, what is Ms. Qiang Ji's view on this matter?"

“Strong Strike is the horse girl who hates me the most, so I don’t know much about her situation.” The lady shrugged helplessly. “But I suspect that Nobleman Junyi might know something…”

Upon hearing the lady's words, Gao Shangjunyi's face immediately showed a very distressed and conflicted expression.

"She probably thinks that a weak, talentless racehorse girl like me is more suitable for Kotobuki-san, so she often nags me about it and even sends me Kotobuki-san's ID photo... She probably wants to persuade me to find someone soon and quit the racehorse girl world?"

Qin Chui Tou suddenly realized why Gao Shang Junyi recognized him so easily, even though he didn't really know him... It turned out he had been doing enemy-finding training in private.

"Uh? First of all, I don't think Miss Qiangji would imply that to you as your younger sister." Hitoko Amber subconsciously reassured Gao Shangjunyi, then frowned as well: "Your family has formed a closed loop..."

The second sister, Gao Shangjunyi, thought the eldest sister, Jifeng, was more suitable, but the eldest sister, Jifeng, thought the third sister, Qiangji, was more suitable, while the third sister, Qiangji, thought the second sister, Gao Shangjunyi, was more suitable.

Your house is unbeatable!

However, Hibiki Amber quickly realized something...

She cares about her trainer and doesn't want other racehorse girls to compete with her for her teacher. And these three racehorse girls are even pushing the piano out of the way!

What kind of "concern" is that? These three racehorse girls have absolutely no interest in Kotobuki Toru.

What Hitotsu Kohaku didn't know was that horse girls are inherently greedy and stingy creatures. They would never give up on what they truly loved, and would even risk everything for family and friends.

On a smaller scale, it's called food guarding; on a larger scale, it's called strong possessiveness.

And the reason they push something away is usually only one thing—they don't like it.

"So, actually, none of the three of you have any feelings for Tou-Tou, or rather, for Kotobuki trainer?"

"Not interested in!"

After saying that, Gao Shangjunyi carefully tugged at Fei Tu Hu Po's sleeve and whispered, "Don't be fooled by a man like that... Let's go quickly."

Hitotsu Amber scratched her head: "Although, but... he's my trainer, isn't he?"

"Huh? I initially thought this lady was feigning one thing while secretly doing another..."

Gao Shangjunyi was instantly struck as if by lightning, and he took two steps back. The expression on his face changed from disappointment with Qin Chuitou to despair for the whole world, as if everything in the world had lost its color and meaning.

"So...you were the biggest philanderer after all!"

Chapter Sixty-Eight: I'm actually the fastest progresser? (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

"So you were the biggest cat thief all along!"

"Wait a minute, didn't you all say you didn't care about Kotobuki Toru? Why are you criticizing me now?"

Moreover, being called a "fish-stealing cat" or something like that, while it could be interpreted as Gao Shangjunyi's recognition of his abilities... it still sounds a bit strange, doesn't it?

"Although that's what they say, Hito, your actions definitely constitute sneaking out, right? Everyone is still struggling and arguing... and you've already taken the lead and become his designated racehorse girl."

Gao Shangjunyi clenched his fists and placed them in front of his chest, looking like he was cheering himself on: "I... I want to morally condemn you!"

And how should I put it... Although my older sister, Gyokumine, isn't too willing to accept Kotobuki Toru, just like the lady said, my sister hasn't seen Kotobuki Toru for many years... What if she feels something again after they meet?

Moreover, her older sister was right... her unruly and eccentric third sister, Kyouki, really needed someone strong to help discipline her... Kotobuki Toru seemed like a perfect fit.

However, Gao Shangjunyi didn't expect that Fei Tu Hu Po, upon hearing his moral condemnation, would immediately clasp her hands together, palms touching fists, and say, "Then I'll tell you that the weapon of criticism cannot represent the criticism of weapons! So, how about a race? I'm also a newbie horse girl, the kind who just learned how to run..."

Gao Shangjunyi shrank back instantly: "No, don't..."

"Hey, I gave you a chance but you didn't use it..."

Fei Tu Hu Po shrugged. If Gao Shang Jun Yi, that little hat, were to challenge her, she could just take the opportunity to defeat her.

The description of "stealing the orangutan" is not quite accurate in Fei Tu Hu Po's opinion. She prefers the saying "whoever enters the pass first is king"!

Now that she has gained the upper hand and secured the first spot for the racehorse girl, she can kick the other racehorse girls one by one!

You yourself are the city wall!

This is Hulao Pass!

Seeing that everyone had calmed down enough, Kotobuki Toru wiped the sweat from her forehead and approached the racehorse girls again: "Everyone has talked enough. If you don't have any plans to run a few more laps, shall we leave the track now? Let's not delay the other people's training."

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded, then quickly asked, "Is the track adaptability test finished? So how was my adaptability?"

Of course, it was Hitotsu Amber herself who was running on the track, and she even had a tense and exciting chase with the noblewoman.

Even without Kotobuki's explicit explanation, Hitoko had a rough idea of ​​her own track adaptability.

The purpose of asking Kotobuki Toru on purpose... was mainly to curry favor and let Kotobuki Toru realize once again that Hitobuki Kohaku's talent was not bad. If he could be praised, that would be even better!

Kotobuki Toru did not disappoint Hitsukohaku; with an excited smile on his face, he reached out his hand to Hitsukohaku…

According to the trainer's manual and various experience sharing, in this situation, the trainer should reach out and touch the racehorse girl's head or rub her face, etc.

But just as she was about to do it, Kotobuki Toru realized that it really wasn't appropriate to do this to her brother and best friend...

Kotobuki then changed his action to gently patting Hitoko Amber's shoulder: "Very good. Whether it's grass or mud, your adaptability is excellent... No wonder you were trained to deliver food."

"Hehehe!" Fei Tu Hu Po laughed with her eyes crinkling, almost like a canine chasing its own tail in circles.

Kotobuki Toru looked at Hishiko Amber's excited expression and pressed his hand down: "Today we tested the most important track adaptability. Next time we can test the others in the regular training ground... Don't get too excited yet."

After all, Hitoko has a noticeable foot quirk and uneven stepping force... It's just that today, whether it was testing track adaptability or practicing one-on-one with the noblewoman, everyone followed Hitoko and chose to run counter-clockwise, so Hitoko's foot quirk wasn't very obvious.

"We'll talk about next time next time~"

As Hitotsu Kohaku walked towards the changing room, before she could even take a step, while still suspended in mid-air, the girl turned around, rubbing her stomach, and asked with a worried expression, "I'm hungry from running, so what are we going to eat later? I saw the sign for the Uma Musume Girls Cafeteria on the signboard!"

Kotobuki spread her hands and pointed towards the school gate: "I'm not employed here, and you're not a student of the racehorse race here. You're already doing well to be able to come to the school and mooch off other people's racetracks... Do you want to mooch off their meals?"

Fei Tu Hu Po looked sad: "Well... I also heard that the cafeteria at Treson Academy is free and unlimited."

"That applies to the staff and students of this school as well."

The lady walked over to Fei Tu Hu Po's side, preparing to go to the dressing room together to change clothes, and then whispered, "And it's not particularly delicious... In terms of skill, it can't compare to the professional chef I have at home, and in terms of creativity and taste, it can't compare to the barbecue on the street. Of course, barbecue food isn't that great either... You guys aren't planning to have barbecue for lunch, are you?"

"Hey? That's a good decision. I've been sweating so much, I'm craving something with a stronger flavor!"

The wealthy woman went along with it: "Then I won't eat at school anymore, and I'll help you share some of the risk of cancer."

"Um, that... the barbecue you guys are talking about? What is that?"

Unexpectedly, Gao Shangjunyi, who was usually withdrawn and taciturn, often lost in his own world and preferring to remain silent, actually spoke up for the first time. The girl's delicate and beautiful face was filled with curiosity mixed with a hint of anticipation.

A foodie's genuine expression.

"That's right, the barbecue in China is very spicy for locals, but it tastes great!"

Fei Tu Hu Po began to explain, then extended her hand to Gao Shang Jun Yi: "Why don't you try some too?"

As the saying goes, "no fight, no friendship." Although the two didn't actually fight, they had already gotten to know each other... Hito Amber had a premonition that the noblewoman would definitely fight with Gyokumine in the future, and she herself would most likely not be spared.

Why don't we try to build a good relationship with this socially awkward kid now and start studying what kind of future rival we might be?

"I... I actually really like Chinese food, like Chinese meat buns and stuff..."

And as the saying goes, Gao Shangjunyi is indeed an amazing foodie beauty. Faced with Fei Tu Hu Po's invitation and the presence of two philanderers at the table, this girl actually managed to suppress her social anxiety with her appetite!

"I...I want to go."

At this moment, the lady glanced at the time, a sly smile playing on her lips: "By the way, I remember this time should be Gao Shangjunyi's class's training course on the winners' stage, right? Could it be... you've been slacking off?"

"Forehead……"

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Forming a Band and an Idol Group (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month)

Horse girls are human spirits, and they naturally have more body parts than humans, with long ears and swaying tails.

Having more body parts means having more micro-expressions and small movements.

Unless it's a racehorse girl who has received special education since childhood, it's generally easy for everyone to tell if a racehorse girl is lying or not telling the truth.

And Gao Shangjunyi, who was introverted and basically unable to face others well, was even more so... After being questioned by the lady, Gao Shangjunyi stopped talking and lowered his head further and further, his pretty face blushing, and finally he hid under the brim of his baseball cap.

Like a small animal, they are indeed very cute.
