Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

Chapter 76 Professional, but singing cute pop music

Withdrawing his hand, Kotobuki Toru continued, "These calluses are proof of my hard work practicing stringed instruments like the guitar and bass! Of course, if you don't like strumming, I also know a little about percussion instruments."

"How do you prove it? With your muscular biceps?"

"No, that's not it. Haven't you noticed how skillfully I handle the bamboo skewers when I'm eating barbecue? And how adept I am at picking up beans with chopsticks... That's proof of my talent as a drummer! A drummer is someone who travels the world with his drumstick!"

Hitotsu Amber clapped her hands in agreement. "Wow! So, according to what you just said about wanting me to sing, you must sometimes be a part-time lead singer, right?"

Qin Chuitou nodded proudly, "Professional."

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded in agreement, then added, "Then why don't you sing one? Just one a cappella, sing one of your sister's bands!"

Qin Chuitou's face flushed red, his previous high spirits completely gone. He mumbled, "I can't come. Too much time has passed; I've forgotten the lyrics..."

Hitotsu Kohaku clearly didn't believe Kotobuki Toru's statement. Her eyes darted around, gleaming with a fox-like light. "Eh? Didn't you just say you were a professional? Professional singers forget lyrics on stage?"

"Cough cough."

Kotobuki Toru coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "I'm fine with anything else you ask me to sing, but asking me to sing songs that girl bands sing... I was too young to choose back then, but I don't want to now!"

"I remember the most famous one goes like this..."

However, the lady was already humming a tune: "Every time I see you, my heart always skips a beat."

My trembling longing drifts by like a marshmallow.

As she sang, the lady deftly made a heart shape with her hands, looking adorable and a far cry from her usual aloof and elegant demeanor. It was as if pink hearts were floating in the air, clearly indicating that she was a professionally trained idol.

Perhaps for wealthy and aristocratic women like this, the stage for the winners is also the stage for true glory?

Gao Shangjunyi, who had just walked over from the aisle, made no attempt to hide the admiration in her eyes, saying, "It sounds really good... much better than when I was on stage... Coco is so cute."

Fei Tu Hu Po reassured her, "It's okay, I think you did a great job on stage just now!"

Gao Shangjunyi smiled shyly: "Eh...yes, is that so..."

Everyone in the audience was very happy, except for Kotobuki Toru...

After hearing the lyrics sung by the noblewoman, Kotobuki Toru immediately covered his face with his hands, wishing he could die. "Stop singing! Stop singing! Can you please stop bringing up people's embarrassing past?"

"Hey~ what are you saying? You've already sung it, why can't I say anything?"

However, after annoying Qin Chuitou for a while, the lady knew when to stop and said, "Fat Rabbit, it's definitely no problem for Qin Chuitou to teach you... but he still has to take the Central Tereson exam, which is not an easy task... It's not right for partners to just take from each other."

But if they become husband and wife, then endless demands become reasonable and legal...

Hitoko stroked her chin and pondered, "It seems that way... Kotobuki Toru will have to arrange my training plan and such, so he probably won't have much energy to teach me to sing."

"Besides learning how to sing... you can also learn about pitch and rhythm... learn a musical instrument or something, and after you get to Central Teresa, you can form an idol group or band with other students to perform outside."

Taking Hitoko's social skills as a benchmark, and after being praised by Hitoko, Takasho Junichi became a little bolder, even daring to suggest to Hitoko: "Besides Mr. Kotobuki... you could find another teacher or something."

Fei Tu Hu Po very straightforwardly took out her wallet, tilted it down, and then shook it vigorously two or three times.

Empty.

"I have no money!"

"Then... how about finding some noble ladies who want to do social practice? Noble ladies generally have high musical literacy, and we shouldn't charge too much money."

"Huh? Don't the nobles accept money?"

Gao Shangjunyi glanced at Kotobuki Toru and nodded... If he were to ask those nobles for help in Kotobuki Toru's capacity, they would definitely be more than willing to do him a favor.

Since the topic of nobles had come up, Hitotsu Amber turned to look at the noblewoman not far away and said, "The others are nobles, and Donna, you must be a noble too, right?!"

To everyone's surprise, the noblewoman curled her lip and rejected the offer without even glancing at Fei Tu Hu Po: "Do you really think I have nothing to do all the time? I usually train with you because it helps us learn from each other... If I were to study music theory with you, I'm afraid my aesthetic sense would decline."

Qin Chuitou nodded. "That makes sense."

Kotobuki Toru has a deep understanding of this. Although Hitoko is usually silly, her words and actions always have a strange persuasive and seductive power.

This includes how, with her social terrorist abilities, she directly infected a portion of Gao Shangjunyi, and even encouraged him to overcome his habit of turning his back on everyone.

Previously, when Hitotsu Amber accompanied him to class, her comment that sashimi was just dead fish... left the philosophy professor still reeling.

If Kotobuki Toru were to actually find her a teacher, he was worried that Hishiko Kohaku might lead the teacher astray... so he really couldn't find her an ordinary teacher.

However, Kotobuki Toru currently has no suitable options when it comes to finding a mentor for Hitokohaku...

But even if there isn't a suitable option, things still need to be done step by step. So Kotobuki Toru came to a conclusion: "In short, I'll help you keep an eye out for a suitable tutor for Kohaku first, and I'll also spend more time training you during this time. In addition to your daily physical fitness and sports training, let's add singing practice as an extra activity?"

"Alright! Then I'll leave it to you, Kotobuki-sensei!"

Fei Tu Hu Po remained cheerful as always, seemingly unaffected by the sudden increase in pressure.

After all... being able to train with Kotobuki Toru is still a pretty happy thing.

There was a great show to watch. After an afternoon of idol training classes, the mentors' comments on stage were also very thoughtful. Fei Tu Hu Po immediately took out her phone to record the mentors' points of attention and the insights shared by outstanding students.

If you record it, it's practically equivalent to you learning it yourself!

Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Triple Strike, Astounding the World

Globally, only China retains the habit of taking a midday nap. In Japan, the midday break is compressed to about an hour and a half, in exchange for the opportunity to leave work or school around 3 or 4 pm.

This would allow students more complete personal time to freely engage in activities and improve themselves, while incidentally, it would allow for better, within reasonable and legal limits, the exploitation of overtime work by working stiffs...

After class, Gao Shangjunyi, who felt like he had used up all the words he had spoken in a month, decided to go home to guard himself and take a break from talking.

However, before leaving, Gao Shangjunyi mustered up the courage to add Fei Tu Hu Po's contact information and made an appointment to keep in touch in the future.

Fei Tu Hu Po, completely oblivious to the tumultuous relationship between the noblewoman and the elegant Jun Yi, immediately created a group chat...

The operation was akin to putting gasoline and a torch together.

However... it was quite lively.

On November 26th, I went to learn to sing and went to a training session. Kotobuki Toru said that his sense of pitch is not very good, and his current level is considered tone-deaf, so he needs to practice more.

On November 27th, he successfully sneaked into Sapporo Tresun alone, chatted with Takashiro Junichi for a long time, and then secretly used the public training track of Sapporo Tresun. There were many female racehorses training on the track, and he could blend in without any problem.

But as the saying goes, wherever there are people, there are conflicts and disputes. The young racehorse girl longs to run, and she also longs to prove herself.

This can lead to situations where horse girls who don't know each other challenge each other to a one-on-one duel.

Although Hitoko Amber was dressed in casual clothes, her striking beauty quickly attracted the attention of many racehorse girls, and quite a few riders came to challenge her.

"I'm Friday! Known as the Sapporo Endurance Queen! You delicate red racehorse girl, you look like an easy target! Let's have a one-on-one fight!"

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded and accepted the other party's request for a sparring match.

The distance of 3,500 meters is nothing special... Hitoko felt that she could still unleash the same strength she had when running with the noblewoman, and that was enough to win the race.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder everyone admires Central Treise so much; racehorses really are strange creatures that become stronger when faced with a strong opponent.

Seeing that Hitoko had won the one-on-one race, she immediately resumed her daily training as if nothing had happened, and other racehorse girls followed her onto the field.

"Hi Fei Tu, I'm Ni Di Gua. I saw you when you were doing track testing before! You adapt well to both dirt and grass tracks, right? Let's try a short dirt track!"

Whether it's running with one or two people, it's still running. Without feeling tired at all, Fei Tu Hu Po nodded and continued.

Anyway, Kotobuki Toru said that if he has no self-esteem and is not afraid of being stomped by the pros, he can try running a couple of races with the racehorse girl and then upgrade the horseshoes of his running shoes to a state where he can barely run on grass and mud.

As the countdown ended, the trainer, Mud Potato, who had been helping with the countdown on the sidelines, blew the whistle to start the race. Mud Potato, full of fighting spirit, let out a soft laugh and sprang forward. "I heard from the trainer that you have the potential to become a Central Class racehorse girl... So come on, let me experience the strength of a Central Class racehorse girl!"

"Thump..."

A faint halo enveloped Mud Potato, its slender figure instantly giving it a half-length head start over Scarlet Amber.

This time, Amber was right... Mud Potato was indeed shimmering with some indescribable light, except that the light shimmering on the noblewoman was pale gold... while the light shimmering on Mud Potato was a pale white.

What exactly is this?

Without having time to think further, Fei Tu Hu Po kept the question to herself, then stomped heavily on the ground and suddenly rushed forward, chasing after the figure of Ni Di Gua with incredible speed.

Mud Potato looked surprised, completely unexpected that Scarlet Amber had actually caught up with him. He hurriedly lowered his body and tried to speed up to shake off Scarlet Amber.

Unfortunately, she didn't anticipate how high Hitotsu Amber's Central Treson value would be. She thought that since Hitotsu Amber and her classmate, the noblewoman, could go toe-to-toe, she could only compete with Hitotsu Amber.

Three steps, two steps, one step...

With Hibiki Amber's acceleration, Mud Potato was instantly overtaken. Of course, Mud Potato did have some skill to take the initiative in the challenge. He used all his strength and kept pace with Hibiki Amber for a hundred meters, but was eventually defeated by Hibiki Amber with a single charge.

Another resounding victory.

The female racehorses watching from the sidelines were stunned, while the trainers' eyes revealed undisguised desire and amazement.

As Hitotsu Amber was enjoying her run, a third racehorse girl walked up, her face full of fighting spirit: "Being fast on a straight line doesn't make you a truly excellent racehorse girl. Although I might not be able to beat you on the straight, on the curves... well, that's another story!"

Fei Tu Hu Po looked the other person up and down. On her feet were the same Meguro family collaboration running shoes that she had seen at Venus before. Although she didn't know how good the other person was, her family background and the importance she attached to running were definitely not bad.

At the start, a faint light flickered around the opponent, and they quickly gained the lead...

Practice makes perfect.

Fei Tu Hu Po was already used to this. She smiled and accelerated to catch up. Her sudden acceleration was like a supercar starting up. In an instant, she rushed to the side of the other party and prepared to overtake it.

"Sure enough, it's fast..." The opponent's fighting spirit was also aroused. Just as the two were turning a corner, the opponent's racehorse girl was surrounded by a reddish-purple aura.

When Fei Tu Hu Po leaned forward, she saw a flash of red light on the other party, and her speed immediately decreased significantly.

Scarlet Amber was startled; there was something dirty inside!

But seeing that her rival, Saima Musume, had already pulled far ahead, her competitive spirit and unwillingness to admit defeat helped Hitoko overcome the strange feeling around her and continue to accelerate to catch up.

"Wow...so fast..."

As the saying goes, brute force can overcome any skill. In a straight-line chase, Hitoko Amber had never met a match. With her excellent strength and powerful burst of energy, Hitoko Amber won the one-on-one match in just a few breaths.

Three consecutive incidents shocked the whole world.

The opposing racehorse girl, supporting her knees at the finish line, smiled helplessly: "I lost, but I think I pushed myself to the limit when I crossed the finish line at the last moment. Thank you."

"Wow, you're really amazing, Miss Red-Haired Racer. I'm sure you'll have a place in the Central Region too, right?"

Fei Tu Hu Po turned around; this time, she truly couldn't suppress her curiosity.

"By the way... I just saw a flash of light on you... and then I was at a disadvantage. What was that?"

The opposing racehorse girl stared blankly at Hitoko Amber as if she had seen a monster: "Racehorse Girl skills... Eh, right... Just now, you didn't seem to use a single racehorse girl skill, did you?"

Chapter 78 Concentration (General Marxist Education Edition)

【Horse Racer Girl Skills】

This was the first time Fei Tu Hu Po had heard of such a concept. She understood the meaning of the word "skill": a combination of techniques or new techniques that a living being develops by using its existing knowledge and experience through continuous practice and deduction.

Each character in the game possesses corresponding skills and techniques, and even telephone customer service representatives have speaking skills such as "We suggest you see a neurologist, dear."

But I never expected that such a "skill" would also exist in Uma Musume. It's just running, yet it has skills and such!

Doesn't this make it even more exciting? It's not just about running; there are skills and other abilities you can use too!

Even more shocked than Hitoko was the racehorse girl standing in front of her.

After reviewing the game, she realized that Hitoko had completed the entire race and even pulled her horse along. In this seemingly easy victory, Hitoko hadn't used any of her horse racing skills at all!

"You...you're really strong! You're such a strong racehorse girl...and you don't even know the racehorse girl skills?"

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded modestly, "Didn't you just mention that? I recently had a track adaptability test and found out my track adaptability."

The opposing racehorse girl let out a plaintive snort, her little expression on the verge of tears: "Are all the racehorse girls at Central Treisen monsters?"

"So what are the skills of Uma Musume? Could you tell me in detail?"

"I remember..."

Just as this racehorse girl, who had clearly lost the duel but was still happy to share her experience with Hitoko Amber, was about to speak, a large group of trainers swarmed around her like a tide, completely surrounding her.

"Young man, you don't have a trainer yet, do you?"

"Young man, I see you have extraordinary talent..."

"this……"
