Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

As for now, Hiruko really wants to ask this teacher...

"Um, um, teacher... since this is your shop, could you give me a discount or something?"

Upon hearing Fei Tu Hu Po's invitation, the teacher's eyes lit up instantly. She blinked and replied, "In principle, chairmen and presidents shouldn't participate in store operations, pricing, or negotiation. However, I'm very good at bargaining!"

After saying that, the teacher, with an imposing air, glared at the cashier behind the counter and asked, "Excuse me, could you give me a discount?"

Looking at her boss's smile, the shop assistant felt more nervous than watching a horror movie. "Um, how much cheaper would you like? The private room this lady is currently renting is 3000 yen per hour..."

The teacher tapped his lips with his fingertip as if deep in thought, then slowly held up three fingers: "How about... 300 yen?"

"can!"

The shop assistant answered decisively without the slightest hesitation; she had clearly read the shop assistant's handbook and the staff's daily conduct guidelines.

In principle, shop assistants are not allowed to give customers discounts or special offers at will... But now, the principle is standing in front of me.

Whatever she says is what it is! If she quotes a number like -300 yen, then I can only take 300 yen out of the cash register and give it to her.

Fei Tu Hu Po looked on with envy. This must be the happiness of the rich. Simple, unpretentious, and monotonous.

However, she was also very happy... every little bit helps, she had no idea how much the top tutor Kotobuki had found for her charged per lesson...

"Then I'll accept your 90 vouchers, Miss... I won't accept any other cash. And to celebrate today being the first day of December, how about we give you an extra fruit platter?"

Fei Tu Hu Po smiled, her eyes crinkling, "I'm extremely grateful!"

The teacher added, holding up a finger, "Then please add another serving of black tea! Plain tea is fine."

"This... I don't think so."

The teacher looked disappointed: "Oh, no?"

"Yes! Yes, we have that. We'll bring it up to you in a bit."

After paying and settling the bill, the two walked up the stairs contentedly. Fei Tu Hu Po walked excitedly in front, while Teacher ? followed behind.

As they went upstairs, the teacher glanced sideways at the back of the beautiful racehorse girl.

It can be said that... all the most attractive features to men are concentrated on her, especially her hourglass figure. After seeing her, Kotobuki can only say...

My younger brother, who's been single for over twenty years... might be doomed!

-

Chapter 83 At the height of their excitement, their family came in.

On her way upstairs, Hitotsu Kohaku didn't forget to ask how her teacher had been found by Kotobuki Toru...

After all, such a wealthy and beautiful woman doesn't seem like someone who could be connected to Qin Chui from the same dimension, no matter how you look at her.

"Teacher, how did you get to know Kotobuki trainer?"

The teacher smiled slightly and answered smoothly, "Oh, we've known each other since we were little. I even held him when he was a baby."

"So, is this what they're like?"

Hitotsu Kohaku was somewhat surprised. Kotobuki Toru was too popular with women, wasn't he? And all of them came from very well-off families... If Kotobuki Toru didn't even like these girls, then what kind of girl did he like?

"Um, excuse me for asking," Hitotsu Amber pursed her lips. "So, what's your opinion on Kotobuki Toru, teacher?"

The teacher simply scoffed, "What else can I think of him? Just treat him like a younger brother."

Hitoko Amber relaxed a little, and at that moment, the teacher asked, "So, Hitoko, what do you think of Kotobuki Toru?"

Fei Tu Hu Po stopped in her tracks. To be honest, this was the first time someone had ever asked her such a question.

The noblewoman and Kotobuki Toru each see the other as a childhood trauma; Takasaka Junichi thinks Kotobuki Toru is a heartless and ungrateful man; the teacher thinks Kotobuki Toru is her younger brother…

"As for me... I think he's a reliable trainer and a best friend?"

"Eh, is that all?"

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded somewhat guiltily: "Big brother, is that about it? Nothing else."

Although I sometimes feel inexplicably hostile towards other Uma Musume girls who know Kotobuki Toru, I think this hostility is just due to the Uma Musume girls' competitive spirit and my own somewhat wicked personality... probably.

Fortunately, the teacher kept walking, nodding slightly as she went: "That's good too. After all, as a Uma Musume (horse racer girl), the fact that you don't dislike Kotobuki Toru means you're already ahead of 99% of the Uma Musume..."

Fei Tu Hu Po laughed out loud: "Isn't this already giving us a head start without doing anything?"

"That's how it is~"

After exchanging their opinions on Kotobuki Toru, the two reached the end of the stairs.

"Is Kotobuki Toru already inside?"

"Let me see,"

Hitotsu Amber tiptoed and peered into the room through the small glass window by the door. She could already see Kotobuki Toru singing into the room with a microphone in hand.

The way his body swayed back and forth really gave him the air of a singer.

Just then, Teacher patted Hitotsu Amber on the shoulder: "Little Hitotsu, when you go in later, just say hello to Kotobuki Toru. I want to give him a surprise."

"Um, is this a surprise?"

Hitotsu Kohaku has no siblings. Although she doesn't understand whether doing this will really surprise Kotobuki, she can respect that decision.

So Hitoko quietly pushed open the door and, while the song was being changed, greeted Kotobuki Toru in a charming manner.

"TouTou, I'm here."

Upon hearing that it was Hitoko's voice, Kotobuki Toru turned his back and gave Hitoko an OK sign.

Then, with great confidence, he used his tablet to select the next song, "The Legend of the Leaping Horse".

Although Kotobuki Toru has stated that he will no longer sing cute pop songs, this kind of song is really the type that Kotobuki Toru is best at singing... Moreover, this song itself was a training piece used to teach Hitoko Haku to sing.

Even if you feel incredibly ashamed after singing, you can comfort yourself by saying it was a sacrifice for the education industry...

"The Legend of the Horse's Leaping Legs: Trainer Mode is Here!"

A burst of powerful music rang out, and Hitotsu Amber and Teacher watched as the head coach himself stepped onto the stage to begin his performance.

The teacher covered her mouth and laughed so hard she was shaking. Fei Tu Hu Po didn't know why she was so happy.

However, Kotobuki Toru was also very happy singing, full of emotion, and his voice was so stable that it sounded like he was singing in a recording studio. The song "The Legend of the Horse Jumping" sung in a mellow male voice also had a unique flavor.

Qin Chui sang without reservation, showing that his relationship with Hitoko was as close as could be. He even added gestures like hand gestures to Hitoko's singing.

My heart is fluttering, my heart is fluttering, my heart is fluttering~ Your beloved horse~

When they reached the most exciting part of the song, Toru Kotobuki even turned around, beaming with a smile, wanting to interact with the audience.

Interaction is the most important element of stage performance. Although Kotobuki Toru has never performed on stage, he has given speeches in earnest. During a speech, if there is no interaction with the audience, people are likely to get sleepy or start playing on their phones.

The same applies to the stage. Although a talented idol singer can be praised by millions of viewers for making a heart shape with a blank expression on stage, an ordinary idol will never attract fans if he doesn't communicate with the audience through his eyes.

So Kotobuki Toru made a heart shape with his hands towards Hitoko, and then made a peace sign at his older sister sitting next to Hitoko.

The next second, the microphone in Kotobuki's hand slipped from his grasp and fell onto the carpet in the private room.

"boom."

A sudden crash echoed in the room, followed by the rousing accompaniment of a song, which only made the atmosphere in the room more eerie.

"Sing, Tou Tou, why aren't you singing?"

Hitoko slammed her hand on the table in dissatisfaction, as if she were a seasoned office worker who frequently frequented izakayas.

Kotobuki Toru looked at the blonde woman sitting leisurely on the sofa with a conflicted expression.

He knew that face and those thick eyebrows all too well... he'd seen them since they were kids.

I never expected that my older sister... the heiress of the Kotobuki Group, who seems naive and kind, is actually a cunning and shrewd Kotobuki?

I've actually ended up here.

And... she watched the commotion with amusement for quite a while!

Knowing my older sister's personality, she probably wouldn't tell our dad about such an embarrassing thing, but tonight, all her girlfriends will probably know...

I optimistically estimate that I'll have to avoid them for the rest of my life.

Just as Kotobuki Toru opened his mouth to say hello, his older sister burst into applause, her voice suddenly becoming much louder: "You sang very well! Mr. Kotobuki, you've improved a lot!"

While clapping, the teacher stood up from the sofa, walked quickly to Kotobuki Toru's side, and said with a chilling smile: "Long time no see, let's go outside and talk."

"Ahem, I'm worried about Amber being here all alone." Kotobuki Toru cast a pleading look at Amber.

To everyone's surprise, Fei Tu Hu Po became completely mesmerized by the fruit platter that had just been handed in through the food delivery window, without even lifting her head.

"It's alright, I'll stay here to protect the fruit platter, you can go ahead!"

------

Chapter 84 Playing the Qin?

Seeing that Hitoko was completely under the control of the fruit platter and was ignoring his hints, Kotobuki Toru was about to say something to get Hitoko's attention when Kotobuki Toru simply waved his hand with a look of disdain.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going out to beat you up... Besides, aren't you ashamed of yourself? You're not even as attractive as a free fruit basket."

Having said all that, Kotobuki Toru had no way to resist and followed his older sister out of the KTV room.

Stepping outside, Kotobuki Toru spread his hands at his older sister, smiling awkwardly, and said, "Sis, what brings you here?"

Kotobuki raised her round eyebrows slightly and asked in return, "Does Zhuanzhuan, a newly acquired property of the family, need to be reported to you?"

“Uh, no need for that…” Kotobuki Toru rubbed his nose. “But if I had known that this karaoke bar had been acquired, I definitely wouldn’t have come here.”

Kotobuki laughed and looked at her younger brother, speaking frankly: "Even if you didn't come, you couldn't escape~ I've already received the news."

"what news?"

"You took her in the locker room, didn't you?"

Kotobuki was taken aback and waved his hands repeatedly to clarify, "That's not true... First of all, we're not in that kind of relationship. Actually, I'm not the kind of playboy who can't control his lower body. How could I do such a thing in public?"

Kotobuki was furious upon hearing this: "It's because you're always trying to be a gentleman that you're still single. You're single and you even ran away from home, putting me under immense pressure!"

Kotobuki shrugged helplessly: "I think the main problem is that your parents have nothing to do. I suggest you go to China and buy some strong Chinese medicine... and then secretly give some to them."

Kotobuki chuckled and punched her younger brother, "How did you even come up with that idea..."

"Then I have no other choice."

Kotobuki blinked: "So you and Little Amber... really didn't? I heard from my ancestors that you locked Little Amber up and even pulled her hair without any chivalry~"

"Shh, shh, where did you find this storyteller? And sis, your voice is so loud, it's completely unladylike, even less so than Donna's..."

Kotobuki smiled disdainfully: "I'm not going to compare myself to a pretentious little girl like Donna~ Actually, I don't really like Donna either."

Kotobuki Toru was somewhat surprised: "This is the first time I've heard you say this. Why don't you like her?"

Kotobuki clenched her fist, "My little brother, only I can beat him up!"

"Forehead."

Kotobuki shrugged. "It's all thanks to you not feeling any empathy from the scene where Donna hit me, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have lived to this old age."

Kotobuki waved her hand with a smile: "Alright, let's not talk about the past anymore. Today I can confirm that you're in pretty good spirits, even a little smug~ Your face is all red."

"Nothing!"

Kotobuki ignored her younger brother's rebuttal and continued, "And Hito is also very good. She's very pretty, has a good personality, and is very smart... The shape of her head is also very beautiful. She should be a very good racehorse girl. We should cherish her."

Kotobuki Toru nodded seriously, his expression earnest: "That's right, sis. When you get back, tell Mom that I'll come home to see her after I get into Central Teresa."

"Oh."

Kotobuki stared intently at him, "Little brother, you're so handsome now! You even said you're going to apply to Central Teresa! Is this the motivation that beautiful girls give you?"

"Almost the same..."

It's said that vixens only drag men down and bring disaster to the country, but if a vixen has convictions and ideals... then maybe she really can give men more motivation to move forward.

The two chatted for a while about their recent situations. When they had almost finished talking, Kotobuki Toru added, "Sis, when you go home tomorrow, tell Dad that I'm preparing for the Central Academy of Drama exam. Everything is going smoothly so far."

"If you want to say it, go ahead and say it yourself."

Kotobuki stuck out her tongue. "Besides, who told you I was going home? I finally got a business trip, I'm not going back."

"what?"
