Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

"No, there are still differences... after all, the skill effects are different."

"What skill effects?"

"It's just the special effects on the field when you're running... but you don't need to worry about it for now."

"All right……"

Fei Tu Hu Po didn't dwell on it too much. Anyway, she had already received enough information today, and taking in any more would probably be bad for her brain.

In short, the focus right now is... studying and delivering food!

Make a killing while the snow is falling!

……

The heavy snow continued for several days. Although the city's main transportation was not affected, it was indeed very inconvenient for people to go out to buy things and eat...

On a winter morning at Hokkaido University, the bright sunlight swept through the pervasive snow fog, like icicles hanging in the air. Thick white frost clung to the slightly yellowed pine needles, making them look like pure white chrysanthemums blooming on the trees. The snow on the bushes melted and then refrozen, forming pure white coral reefs. From a distance, it looked like being in a fairy tale world.

Meanwhile, college students living in dormitories have already purchased large quantities of Japanese-style convenience foods. They can be eaten directly by simply soaking them in boiling water or heating them in a microwave. It's quick and convenient, but the taste is another matter.

If everyone has eaten enough, then it doesn't matter. We can encourage each other, and the hard times will pass in laughter and joy.

Unfortunately, among them emerged a traitor who refused to share both joy and sorrow.

The zither was played thoroughly.

"Toutou, I brought you some xiaolongbao today! These pork xiaolongbao were recommended by Gao Shangjunyi. I tried five and they were pretty good, so I brought you some... and some hot soy milk too!"

Early in the morning, Hitotsu Amber arrived at the classroom where Kotobuki and the others had their classes, carrying the fresh breakfast she had bought... Her hands, whiter and more delicate than refined flour, gently held the steaming hot xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and the rising steam surrounded her face, making her smile even more radiant.

The surrounding classmates instantly felt as if they had just opened a vinegar shop, and the sourness was also very appetizing... so the whole class was now in a state of being both sour and hungry...

Fei Tu Hu Po is indeed alluring and seductive. Of course, if she were just a beautiful, arrogant, or even bewitching femme fatale, people would feel better about her.

But she's also the type who would brave the wind and snow, getting up early in the morning to deliver breakfast to her trainer...

Now everyone was at a loss for words, their gazes towards Kotobuki Toru filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, wishing they could tear Kotobuki Toru apart and devour him whole...

But a sharp gaze serves no purpose other than making the zither player feel utterly uncomfortable.

However, Kotobuki Toru, being the child of a merchant family, is most skilled at being shameless... Besides, he has already gotten used to it after so many days.

However, it must be admitted that Hitoko's bloodline may indeed belong to the Warhorse Girl. A few days ago, the blizzard was so heavy that even cars could not pass, but Hitoko walked on the snow as if it were flat ground. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no cars on the road, she ran very fast on the snow-covered road by herself and did not have a single late order. She has been the top seller in the food delivery company for several days in a row.

Tucked her down jacket tighter, Kotobuki glanced at Hitoko's gothic dress... The combination of red and black has always been one of the world's most exquisite combinations, and the layers upon layers looked breathtakingly beautiful on Hitoko.

but……

"Aren't you cold wearing that?"

Fei Tu Hu Po shook her head, casually lifting the lace hem of her skirt near her calves to reveal her legs encased in pantyhose. "You're absolutely right, I really don't feel cold..."

"But you're going to deliver food dressed like that? How much would it cost to get a horse racer dressed in Lolita fashion to deliver food?"

"No, I've already earned enough these past few days. I'm going to focus on learning... and see if I can master a skill or something..."

Chapter 81 The Young Lady, the Music Teacher

Kotobuki Toru was taken aback by Hitoko Amber's words. This simple-minded racehorse girl was now completely dissatisfied with learning from energy conservation books.

She said she wanted to create her own horse racing girl skills.jpg

Even Kotobuki, as the trainer, was somewhat uncertain: "Can this be done?"

Fei Tu Hu Po waved her little fist: "I think it can work! I've almost finished reading that book on concentration!"

Kotobuki was taken aback, and for a moment he really looked at Hitotsugu with new respect: "So fierce? How far have you been looking?"

"Table of Contents, On the Structure of Modern Turnstiles, A Pair of Points, Page 2."

Kotobuki Toru nearly coughed up blood: "So you're still looking at the table of contents? What have you been doing these past few days...?"

Fei Tu Hu Po quickly stuffed the meat bun into her mouth: "Delivering takeout, huh? You didn't think that upgrading breakfast from rice balls to meat buns was free, did you? In December, I'm planning to reduce my workload to train and study."

Kotobuki nodded and asked, "So you have some free time in the training I arranged for you today. What do you plan to do with the extra time?"

As soon as she finished asking, Fei Tu Hu Po laughed and pulled a karaoke ticket out of her pocket as if by magic. "Hehehe, let's go sing! I noticed when I passed by today... there's a really luxurious karaoke place next to that Venus store! You haven't taught me any breathing techniques lately, so let's take advantage of the discount and practice singing together?"

Kotobuki Toru rubbed his eyes, wondering if it was because he hadn't slept well, but his right eye was twitching badly.

Although Kotobuki Toru wasn't the superstitious type... he still had a premonition that if he went out, nothing good would happen.

"Um, today..."

But just as Kotobuki was about to refuse Hitokohaku by saying that he was unwell and unable to go out, his mentor walked in by sheer coincidence.

The old man was bundled up tightly, as if he wanted to wear two down jackets in a row, and he also wore thick cotton gloves on his hands.

As soon as I entered the room, the instructor cleared his throat and said, "Today our class is being changed to an outdoor practical class. Everyone, go out and shovel snow... You older students always make your juniors help you shovel snow, how can you be so shameless?"

The class erupted in groans, especially those students who had skipped breakfast to save time; they sounded like they were about to collapse.

Upon hearing that everyone was going out to do physical labor, Hitotsu Amber instantly became excited. Before Kotobuki Toru could speak, she said, "Toru, I don't understand your theory classes, but I can still participate in these outdoor practical classes. I'll help you finish quickly, and then we'll go to karaoke!"

Upon hearing Hitotsu Kohaku's loud declaration, Kotobuki Toru's classmates around him instantly cheered.

"Great! It's Saima Musume! We're saved!"

"A face of a venomous snake, but the heart of a bodhisattva."

"We can go back to the dorm earlier..."

After all, this is a racehorse girl! With Hitoko's help, everyone's workload can definitely be reduced by a lot!

"Uh." Faced with the intense gazes of her classmates, Kotobuki Toru couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she could only finish her soy milk and nod slightly to Hitoko Amber: "Let's go."

……

The main task of snow removal at the college is to push the ice and snow that have frozen on the roads to both sides. Pushing the snow is not difficult; the most difficult part is breaking the ice.

The ice that has frozen into thick, hard blocks on the road is so strong that the shockwave from a single swing of an ice pick can make your hand go numb, and might even crack your thumb and forefinger.

However, after Hitotsu Kohaku joined the de-icing operation, the de-icing work for Kotobuki Toru's class became much easier and progressed extremely smoothly.

"Watch my Knight Kick!"

Her crimson figure, like a vibrant flame, leaped up suddenly and then gracefully landed. Her overall physique was more than three times that of a human, and her immense power was revealed in that instant. Her landing posture, like a meteor shower in a game, showcased the girl's unparalleled aura and sense of oppression.

The male student could only leave small, grayish-white holes in the solid ice with his digging, but Fei Tu Hu Po, wearing running shoes with steel spikes, could shatter the solid ice on the ground into countless pieces with a single leap, like a meteor shower, and the flying ice shards would sting all over the body when they hit people.

This is the beauty of numbers.

While students from other classes had only just cleared a few parking spaces, Fei Tu Hu Po had almost finished.

Kotobuki Toru pushed his snowplow, piling up the ice chunks that Hitsukohaku had trampled to the side of the road, while not forgetting to complain, "Wearing Lolita and doing a knight's flying kick here, really something...aren't you afraid of flashing yourself?"

"It's okay, I'm wearing safety shorts!"

Although Fei Tu Hu Po said she didn't care, her movements on the ice became much smaller, and her whole body exuded a deliberately feigned ladylike demeanor.

Unable to break the ice in a childish way, Hitotsu Kohaku behaved herself, stepping on the ice while asking Kotobuki Toru, "Speaking of Toru, the other training you've arranged for me lately has been great, but isn't the frequency of singing training a bit too low?"

"I don't have much time. Besides, although learning to sing is also important, it definitely has to take priority after physical training."

While analyzing the reasons, Kotobuki Toru didn't deny that she hadn't given Hitokohaku much singing training. With an apologetic look, she continued, "However, I'm currently looking for a singing teacher for you, it should be soon..."

"Huh? Is it the kind of mentor that the lady mentioned before, the kind with a very high level of musical taste?"

Speaking of young ladies... Kotobuki Toru does know a stubborn and strong-willed young lady. Recently, some changes occurred in her family, causing her to move out with her father...

According to the information the wealthy woman gave her, this young lady had reduced the price of her music lessons to 2000 yen per session in order to make a living. She could still afford it if she gritted her teeth, which could be considered as supporting her decision to run away from home.

Thinking of this, Kotobuki Toru nodded slightly: "I guess so?"

"Alright then!" Hibiki Amber stomped on the last huge block of ice and smashed it. "That's it, let's go! Let's practice a bit, so that teacher won't look down on us!"

The mentor smiled and said goodbye to the two: "Be careful on the road, be careful when you arrive, and be even more careful when you are doing things."

This old guy...

With her mentor's personal approval, Kotobuki Toru followed Hitoko Amber to the bustling shopping district of Sapporo.

Because Hitsuko had to scan and redeem each of the 114 vouchers she had, Kotobuki Toru took the key first and went to the KTV room, leaving Hitsuko to scan and use the vouchers at the counter.

Just as they had finished sweeping most of it, a soft, sweet voice sounded from behind Fei Tu Hu Po.

"Huh? Red hair...Are you...Hito-chan?"

I never expected a stranger to recognize me... I might actually be quite famous now!

"Ah, it's me."

As she answered, Fei Tu Hu Po turned around, and the girl behind her was also very polite.

"Nice to meet you~ I'm Kotobuki..."

"Hey, you're the teacher that Tohru Kotobuki found?!"

Chapter 82 Teacher: I'm very good at bargaining

The two people standing in front of the KTV were both surprised.

Hitoko was surprised that Kotobuki Toru had told her that morning that he had found a teacher, but the teacher had already arrived.

Could it be... that this is the surprise Kotobuki Toru gave him?

Fei Tu Hu Po tilted her head and looked the girl up and down. She was wearing a long cashmere coat and boots with fluffy pom-poms. Her outfit was exquisite but not extravagant, which made her instantly likable.

Her long, pale golden hair was elegant and gorgeous, and it matched her eye color perfectly, which was a plus in Fei Tu Hu Po's eyes.

However, those rather thick, bean-like eyebrows might not look quite right from Amber's perspective...

Overall, the young woman or mature woman standing in front of me is definitely a stunning beauty.

Moreover, Fei Tu Hu Po always felt inexplicably that she seemed to have seen the facial features of the girl in front of her somewhere before, and even seemed to have seen them often.

It's probably... a hallucination?

To avoid mistaking someone for someone else, Hitotsu Amber tiptoed over the girl's shoulder and looked out the door again.

Not far from the door, there was indeed a black luxury sedan parked. The car window was rolled down, and the driver, wearing sunglasses, was sitting inside staring at them.

Fei Tu Hu Po roughly estimated the length of the vehicle and was immediately shocked; this car was even longer than the sedan chairs of wealthy women.

Having been a boy for a while, Hitotsu Amber naturally knows that being tall is good! The taller the better!

Such a thick, black sedan was certainly not a cheap one, and thus, Hitotsu Amber associated the beautiful human girl in front of her with the young lady.

Since she was a young lady I didn't know, and yet she claimed that she was sent by Kotobuki Toru... and we even met at a karaoke bar.

The result is already obvious!

Hitotsu Kohaku nodded to the blonde young lady in front of her: "Teacher, you must be the one Kotobuki Toru invited to teach me singing? May I ask your name?"

The girl standing in front of him seemed to have a somewhat naive air about her... She stood there blinking for a long time, her beautiful eyes darting back and forth several times, before finally giving Fei Tu Hu Po a look of sudden realization.

She then flashed a bright smile: "Ara, you called me? That's fine! TouTou... Oh, wait, did Kotobuki-san come with you too?"

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded and pointed to the stairwell leading upstairs, saying, "He's already gone up ahead of time. Teacher, would you like to go up and find him first?"

The teacher initially nodded, but then, as if she had thought of something interesting, she pursed her lips, which were about to burst into laughter, and abruptly shook her head in refusal.

"No need, no need, I'll wait for you here, let's go together!"

After saying that, the teacher walked over to the side of Fei Tu Hu Po with great interest, put one hand on the counter, and watched the shop assistant verify the voucher.

"Checking each coupon one by one is so slow..."

The shop assistant's expression was priceless, a mix of nervousness and helplessness. After hesitating for a long time, she timidly spoke up: "Um... Boss, the vouchers still need to be verified... If counterfeit vouchers get mixed in, we'll suffer losses."

She knew today that Boss Kotobuki was coming to inspect the store, but she didn't expect her boss to do it in this way!

The teacher tapped his palm and suddenly realized, "Oh...right, I remember now, this is our shop. You can continue verifying the coupons."

Hitotsu Kohaku, standing to the side, was stunned. She never expected that Kotobuki Toru could be so powerful, casually hiring the owner of this karaoke bar as her tutor!

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that this was actually the wealthy woman's stubborn but soft-hearted woman secretly helping her contact a teacher...

As for that possibility, I'll discuss it when I have time later.
