Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

"I can't dance at all!"

"Huh? This is a G3 level stage... How did you manage to get through the previous stages?"

"Before, I ran a draft horse race, and the winner's stage was pounding rice cakes." Fei Tu Hu Po pounded her palm with her fist, making a pounding motion: "Can I go on stage and pound rice cakes today too?"

"I don't think we should hammer rice cakes." Super Creek stuck out her tongue, looking at the bizarre racehorse girl in front of her.

However, the more eccentric the racehorse girl, the more potential she has... Super Creek remembered those racehorse girls who stood on the stage in a daze before, but that racehorse girl is now almost becoming the mainstay of Treisen.

Little Chestnut Hat even has an experience of singing dialect songs on stage and singing off-key.

Now another contestant like Hitoko Amber, who can only sing but not dance, has arrived... Super Stream feels even more confident in Hitoko Amber!

"Once you're on stage, there won't be any problems. There are still a few hours before you go on stage, so you have plenty of time to practice, Xiao Feitu."

Super Creek laughed with her hands behind her back, and said in a negotiating tone, "If you start calling me 'Captain' now, I'll go practice with you."

Fei Tu Hu Po nodded; in any case, she had already been convinced by Super Little Stream from the beginning.

For such a legendary and formidable racehorse to come and recruit a nobody like me, it would be a bit pretentious to go through some elaborate, elaborate process like three visits to a thatched cottage...

"Okay, then I'll join the Student Life Department. I hope you'll take good care of me, Minister Xiaoxi!"

Super Creek was grinning from ear to ear. Being called "Captain" by such a charming and sweet racehorse girl as Hitoko Amber was indeed a very enjoyable thing!

Super Creek immediately slapped her enormous breasts, the envy of every man: "Don't worry! Little Amber, you're the kind of talented racehorse girl. I'll send you some other books in the next few days..."

"No, today is Christmas Day, so I'll give you the book as a Christmas present tonight!"

"That's not the kind of favor I'm looking for!" Hibiki Amber said shyly. "Besides, I won't need this at all!"

"Huh? Are you a believer in being single?"

In Hitotsu Kohaku's fantasies about the future, there was no option for dating at all. She even made a bet with Kotobuki Toru that whoever lost would become the other's dog.

Under such circumstances, falling in love is impossible, let alone the strange skills and tricks mentioned in the book!

I believe I am!

-------------

With the help of Super Creek, Hitoko Amber trained for another whole afternoon. Unlike Kotobuki Toru and ?-sensei's training methods, Super Creek is a real Uma Musume idol who has stood on the top stage many times.

Based on her own experience of standing on the stage, many of her suggestions and opinions were insightful and to the point.

When Hitoko was waiting in the waiting room, she already felt that she was exceptionally strong!

Meanwhile, Kotobuki Toru's exam was over... Upon seeing that Kotobuki Toru's account had switched to online, Hito Kohaku immediately sent him a message of concern.

[Hibi Amber: TouTou, I'm so nervous... You're not going to die, are you? If you die, Watashi...]

Kotobuki Toru held his phone, feeling a warmth in his heart as he sensed the care and concern Hitoko had for him transmitted through his phone.

[Kotobuki Toru: You almost killed me by calling me that during the interview and live stream...]

During the exam this afternoon, Nishizaki Ryu didn't even bother proctoring the others. He just pulled up a chair and sat down next to me, claiming it was to provide one-on-one care for his junior. But Kotobuki Toru probably just wanted to put psychological pressure on me.

Even though Nishizaki Ryu used such despicable means to trick him, he still managed to pull through!

[Kotobuki Toru: Luckily, my superior skills allowed me to withstand the pressure.]

[Hibi Amber: Huh? You mean you passed the exam?!]

[Kotobuki Toru: Getting into the Central Academy of Drama is absolutely no problem! The interview is before the New Year, and I should be able to get in in the next few days.]

“Woohoo!”

Hibiko Amber, who was in the rest room, suddenly let out a joyful cheer, which startled the other racehorse girls present.

"Hi, what's wrong with Hito-kun?"

Hikari Satomi, who had been staring at and observing Hitsuko Amber since earlier, was startled.

Sitting to the side, Xiao Linliqi did some calculations with his fingers and nodded slightly, saying, "I've calculated my love luck... I should be in love soon..."

Chapter 134 Some Songs Are Not for Ordinary People to Sing (Part 2)

Upon hearing Kobayashi's divination results, the noblewoman standing to the side became excited, "He can even predict that? Can he predict when?"

Kobayashi looked at this man who looked very wealthy at first glance, pursed his lips and said, "As you know, we fortune tellers risk our lives to tell fortunes... The more detailed the predictions, the more damage they do to our health, so we have to charge extra!"

"Money is not a problem. Tell me first... when do you estimate it will be? What's your fortune like? How many children can you have?"

"It should be possible to succeed within 100 years, right?"

"Your money is gone!"

"Hey?! How can you rich people be so untrustworthy?"

Hitoko Amber didn't notice the horse girls bickering around her; she was completely absorbed in her phone, sending messages to Kotobuki Toru in a flurry of texts.

[Hibi Amber: Since you've already done so well on the exam, why not press your advantage and continue studying for the interview tonight?]

In Fei Tu Hu Po's memory, exams and interviews are equally difficult, especially when looking for a job. Sometimes, the interview score is even more important than the written test score.

However, at the same time... Hito Amber really didn't have much confidence in her winning stage performance. Although Super Little Creek senior expressed his affirmation and praise during her singing and performance in the afternoon, he only praised her singing.

Other racehorse girls on the track are not only good at singing, but also at dancing.

If I were the only one performing on the winner's stage today, even if I was bad, everyone would have no other choice but to hold their noses and watch patiently. If I were even more arrogant, I could say something as boastful as "Watch if you want, get lost if you don't."

But today's stage for the winners doesn't belong to her alone. Grass tracks, sand tracks, short distances to long distances, all the winning horses from various tracks will be on stage...

The winner of the grass medium-distance track is a noblewoman who is good at ballet, and the winner of the grass short-distance track is a very popular little sister idol... But on my side, I'm really just a nobody who can't do anything.

It's not scary to jump badly; what's truly terrifying is when everyone around you can jump well!

The person who dances the worst will be the one in the most awkward situation.

Therefore, Hitotsu Kohaku didn't really want Kotobuki Toru to see her embarrassing performance on stage.

However, Kotobuki Toru clearly has a great interest in Hitsukohaku's stage performance—

[Kotobuki Toru: No way! I actually performed exceptionally well today, and on such a joyous day, of course we should keep playing music and dancing! Besides, Central Tresson is being very generous in giving everyone a ticket to the winner's stage to comfort those who didn't do well on the exam. Anyway, they've already started checking tickets, I'm going to grab a front-row seat to cheer you on.]

Oh wow, everyone's coming!

Fei Tu Hu Po instantly put on an expression as if she had lost her parents.

Fine, let's just have a public execution then!

In order to be more composed on stage in the future, I'll treat this as practice to hone my thick skin!

-----

Inside the closed-off but luxurious Tressen Auditorium, comparable to the Venus de Milo, most of the audience had already entered and were sitting in their chairs, discussing the day's matches with great enthusiasm.

"My Satomi family! How could the Galactic Battleship capsize so suddenly?"

"There are so many new horse girls enrolled this year, I'm already looking forward to the dramatic changes next year."

"I still think the noblewoman is the best choice. Of course, Hitsuko and Satomi Hikari seem pretty good too, but those two don't seem to have the same shrewish vibe as the noblewoman..."

"Before the newly recruited trainers start their jobs, everyone hurry up and catch horse girls to form teams!"

Today's races have ended, and the trainers in Tresson have witnessed most of the female racehorses running on the track. They each have their own ideal female racehorses in their hearts... and they are preparing to launch a fierce offensive with their resumes starting tomorrow.

After all, racehorse girls rarely come to their trainers on their own initiative, so trainers must take the initiative.

As for Hitokohaku... that's practically a legendary story. There's probably no one else but Hitokohaku who could make such a passionate Uma Musume fantasies in front of everyone.

As for that "TouTou" guy, all I can say is I wish his whole family wealth and prosperity.

The racehorse girls in the arena were equally excited. The exams that had been the biggest headache for everyone were over, and with Christmas Day also on, the racehorse girls, who had been suppressing their emotions for so long, finally let loose and started running wild.

"Everyone in the Service Department, remember to cheer loudly when she comes on stage for the long-distance grass track championship. She's already one of us now, so let's all stick together!"

"Make way, the Discipline Committee is on patrol! Everyone, sit down! If you stand up, are you even going to watch the racehorses in the back?!"

"By the way, we're recruiting for the Disciplinary Committee! All the best chasing horse girls are now on the Disciplinary Committee! Whether you're a runaway horse or a speedster, spend three months on the Disciplinary Committee, and we guarantee your chasing performance will improve to A or higher!"

"By the way, where's the horse girl from the Student Union Secretariat? This is such a good opportunity to recruit new members! What? The accounts are being closed at the end of the year? So all the horse girls in the Student Union office went to help with the accounting? Look... no one dares to go to the Student Union office now, right?"

The wait wasn't long, because if they had to wait any longer, the restless racehorse girls in the audience might have taken the initiative to sing on stage. Soon, the stage lights went out, leaving only the faint rustling of emergency lights in the entire auditorium.

Even without anyone speaking out, the murmurs in the room gradually subsided until silence fell.

Everyone in the audience craned their necks, watching the stage from above.

The next second, a golden spotlight shone on the crimson racehorse girl, her thin lips pursed slightly, and her smile seemed a little forced.

Previously, during the competition, everyone had seen the girl's true face through high-speed camera footage, but at that time she was sweating profusely, with strands of hair sticking to her cheeks, and looked a little disheveled.

Now, the girl's eyebrows are curved, and her alluring, slanted eyes are decorated with pink eye makeup, which is even dotted with sparkling crystals.

With just a light makeup look that emphasized her eyes, Fei Tu Hu Po's already captivating eyes became even more stunning, making her look like a top courtesan, giving anyone who saw her a feeling of having struck gold.

Even though the young girl still exudes a sense of naivety and shyness, everyone feels there's nothing wrong with seeing the courtesan making her debut.

Even more profit!

In addition, the official website of the Uma Musume Girls Association just announced the name of Hitoko Amber's self-created skill - Majestic Style. Coincidentally, this skill name is the same as a very flamboyant song.

So Miss Hito must be going to sing some awesome song and then do a passionate dance, right?

Everyone was excited!

How could this happen? It was supposed to be a winner's stage, but my heart is pounding... and my... well, my phone (referring to the phone in my hand).

The next second, Hitoko Amber called out the song she was going to sing today in a slightly trembling voice.

"Singing!"

Immediately afterwards, a powerful guitar sound rang out.

The girl's somewhat sticky and delicate voice then began to sing.

Having drifted with the wind all this way, what kind of country will we eventually reach?

The audience was completely stunned.

"This horse girl has a really good voice... It's all live singing, all emotion, without any technique."

"But... she really just sang without any expression or movement. The last time I saw Uma Musume like this was last year's Uma Musume from Hokkaido, and the year before that, Oguri Hat... Every year, there are always some amateur idols on the newcomer stage. Is this becoming a tradition?"

"Wouldn't that be even more amazing? I love singing high-energy songs or love songs with a blank expression. You guys don't even understand the cute contrast! It would be even better if I could make a heart shape with a blank expression..."

"It's pretty good. There's still a lot of room for improvement. Such beautiful eyes, such a charming face. Instead of singing 'Majestic and Grand' or 'Paradise Paradise,' she chose a high-energy song. It's quite a contrast."

Most of the audience were horse girls and trainers from Treson's main school. Under the supervision of the three goddess AIs, everyone was quite well-behaved, and the discussion was limited to Hitotsu Kohaku's singing voice and appearance...

They weren't as aggressive as traditional online viewers, who would readily say things like "My ears have miscarried" or "The singer's voice sounds like it's been chewed by a dog."

Overall, people are quite receptive to Hitoko Amber's singing. She remained calm under pressure and didn't get so nervous that she couldn't sing or burst into tears. Moreover, Hitoko Amber truly expressed her intense emotions with a powerful, explosive, and convincing voice, full of spirit and highly infectious. Hitoko Amber did this very well.

If I can listen to it, I'd be willing to listen to it again next time.

The very few remaining individuals displayed expressions of shock or thoughtful contemplation...

"I think I heard this song a long time ago, didn't I?"

"I remember now... This song sounds like the one from the Kotobuki family, the one they sang in high school?"

"That's right, I even flew to London specifically to hear it..."

As we all know, Uma Musume Pretty Derby is the most popular sport in the world, with races of all levels happening everywhere, concerts by various Uma Musume idols being held whenever they want, and merchandise featuring Uma Musume selling like hotcakes.

The mastermind behind all this, the Uma Musume Pretty Derby Association, has already made a fortune. As the saying goes, "remembering the source of one's blessings," in order to allow the Uma Musume girls to perform more freely and sing whenever they want, the Uma Musume Pretty Derby Association has been frantically buying all kinds of song copyrights online.

It's said that the world's largest music copyright libraries are held by two entities: Chinese television stations and the Uma Musume (Horse Racing Girls) Association. Therefore, when selecting songs for the winners' performances and songs, the horse racers often say, "There's nothing we can't find, only things we haven't thought of!"

However, there are always exceptions. For example, there are people who feel that the piece is not presentable and do not want it to reappear in the world, as well as those who own the copyright to the piece and do not care about money at all.

To prevent his music from being misused, which could cause him trouble or damage his reputation, he would never lend out the copyright.

For example, the song "Singing" that Hitoko is currently singing seems to be the music of Kotobuki's band, which is composed of the super heiress of the Kotobuki family and a former band member.

As a piece that evokes memories of her youth, she naturally registered the copyright for the piece early on. It's said that the copyright documents are held in various places: one in a Swiss bank, one in the Mariana Trench, and another in outer space... Obtaining the copyright through other means would be extremely difficult.

The Uma Musume Girls Association is also very conservative; they allow you to sing any song you're allowed to sing, but they won't even let you hum any song you're not allowed to sing.

Therefore, the fact that Hitoko is able to sing this song means that the Uma Musume Pretty Derby Association has obtained the authorization for this song. If we think about it more deeply, it is even very possible that the song is authorized only for Hitoko, the Uma Musume!

Some of the horse racing girls also went to watch today's Tressen freshman race, and if they weren't in a hurry to leave... they naturally heard the trainer's name that Hitoko Amber called out towards the school building this afternoon: "TouTou".
