Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

It's no wonder people are having wild and unfounded speculations, but it's all just too much of a coincidence...

The horse racers from wealthy or even aristocratic families present instantly showed expressions of shock and relief.

This is Kotobuki Toru's partner!

Things are getting interesting!

----

On stage, Hitotsu Amber continued her performance.

Sweat beading from her forehead to her fingers

What colors and what kind of rainbow will it become?

[A rapid interplay and clash of rhythms]

Of the songs her teacher taught her, this is still her favorite. It's passionate, energetic, and easy to remember, making it perfect for a racehorse girl like herself who doesn't have many threads.

The audience's reaction seemed quite positive... but there were some strange, scrutinizing glances that made Fei Tu Hu Po feel slightly uncomfortable.

These gazes felt as if they were stripping him naked and slicing him up, each look like a razor blade, peeling his clothes away piece by piece...

So, so terrible!

Hitotsu Amber, bewildered, completed her first immature speech on stage.

"it is good!"

"It sounds good!"

"The lyrics to this song are amazing!"

But for some reason, several elegantly dressed racehorse girls in the audience made unusually loud noises, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't hear them...

You really don't need to push yourself like that!

Chapter 135 What kind of dance do you usually watch? (Bounty 10)

There's not much to say about the stage performances that followed. Every horse girl gave a flawless performance. The Lady's ballet was as elegant as the death of a swan. Apart from the fact that her stats were a bit too high, making the Lady, this fat swan, look somewhat out of proportion, everything was beautiful.

The applause was thunderous; it was clear that everyone's applause was genuine.

The next horse girl has a soft, cute voice that melts your heart... Hito Amber thinks that if she had a younger sister, she would definitely look like this petite horse girl.

In short... if you were to ask which Uma Musume Girl had the best winning stage performance tonight, even a month of discussion among fans might not be enough to reach a conclusion. But if you were to ask which Uma Musume Girl has the most room for improvement...

Then everyone should know the answer.

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

"Waaaaaah, I absolutely have to learn to dance!"

When the winners' stage was more than halfway through, Fei Tu Hu Po returned to her dormitory alone, dejected. She then rolled around on her bed with a pillow in her arms to relieve her resentment.

As for what kind of dance to learn, Hito Amber really didn't have any ideas. Whether it was ballet like the one worn by noblewomen, or street dance or modern dance like other Uma Musume girls, Hito Amber thought they would all be great.

But with the mindset of "I think about small things myself, and consult Qin Chuitou for important matters," Fei Tu Hu Po took out her phone again.

Upon opening the message interface, it was flooded with messages from Kotobuki Toru, the number of messages kept increasing, eventually reaching 99+. If Hitokohaku hadn't recently gotten a new phone, it would have crashed by now...

"Ok?"

Hitoko Amber opened the chat box with some surprise. The first thing she saw was her own photo. On stage, she had a slightly crescent-shaped eyebrow and a nervous expression, which was obviously a disadvantage on stage. However, thanks to Kotobuki Toru's photography skills, the sweat slowly rolling down her forehead and the blurry shadows cast by the camera lens on her trembling eyelashes made her naivety stand out even more.

Careful, sincere, focused, and full of tension.

I never expected Kotobuki Toru to have such strong photography skills. From now on, I can totally ask Kotobuki Toru to take photos for me when I post them on social media!

Fei Tu Hu Po excitedly clicked on the original images of each photo to download them, preparing to post them directly to social media platforms in a little while, and also to show off to everyone that she had won the Treson Newcomer Competition!

While downloading the images, she didn't forget to send a message to Kotobuki Toru to express her gratitude.

[Hibiscus Amber: Thanks, bro!]

Kotobuki responded with a speechless expression.

[Hibiscus Amber: Is there anything else?]

[Kotobuki Toru: Yes, I also took a few pictures of the noblewoman and the elegant gentleman, but they blocked me... Could you please forward them to them for me?]

[Hibiscus Amber: No, don't we have a group chat?]

[Kotobuki Toru: I was kicked a long time ago. You insisted on making everyone an admin, but I'm the only member. How could I not get kicked?]

Subsequently, photos of the noblewoman and the elegant Junyi standing on the stage were also sent over by Kotobuki.

Fei Tu Hu Po wished she could strangle herself right now. That damn mouth of hers, she had to ask Qin Chui Tou if there were any other photos... Now look what's happened, the photos of the noblewoman and the noble Jun Yi have been sent over.

My phone's memory is pretty dirty...

But since her trainer had already given her such instructions, as an obedient racehorse girl, Hito Amber couldn't just keep the photos to herself. So Hito Amber casually helped the lady slim her face, slightly adjusted the proportions of her chest, and then added a smiling filter to Takasho Junyi.

After doing all this, Hitotsu Amber sent the photos to the two of them.

[Hibi Amber: I've already sent them... By the way, I did so badly on the winner's stage today, why did you take so many photos of me, are you saving my embarrassing moments?]

[Kotobuki Toru: After reading what you said, I didn't think your performance was that good... nor that bad. Growth and progress come little by little. When you really achieve success in the future, you can proudly say, 'These photos aren't some embarrassing history, but rather the path I came from.' My time in Tressen was short, it passed in the blink of an eye. I also want to take advantage of this time to create some memories, so that when I resign in a few years, I'll have something to look back on.]

[Hibi Amber: You finally got into university, you've been working yourself to the bone every day, and you think you can just quit like that? What else can you do after you quit? Go home and inherit the family business? Although your teacher sometimes scolds you, I can tell she doesn't have any romantic feelings for you.]

[Kotobuki Toru: What are you thinking... But I just asked the staff backstage, and they said you went back to your dorm. What? Not going to join in the Christmas fun?]

Fei Tu Hu Po scratched her head, naturally unwilling to admit that she was a little upset because she was not as skilled as others, and simply typed:

[Amber: I'm not joining in the fun. Nobody's ever celebrated my birthday in all these years. Do I have to celebrate Jesus' birthday instead? Besides, Santa Claus is so materialistic. Back when I couldn't even afford stockings, I never saw any presents or anything...]

[Kotobuki Toru: Stop talking, I'm about to cry. What Christmas present do you want?]

Fei Tu Hu Po had never thought about Christmas gifts or anything like that, and she never felt that asking others for gifts was something she could talk about. After glancing at the photos in the chat history, Fei Tu Hu Po continued to reply.

[Hibiscus Amber: I've received it. Consider the photos you sent me a Christmas present... As for your Christmas present, how about those photos you just took? Here you go. If you think it's not enough... I'll take a few more with you sometime...]

[Kotobuki Toru: Enough, enough, you're so easy to please... By the way, you said you were going back to your dorm to study, what are you reading? Can I give you some suggestions?]

Without a second thought, Fei Tu Hu Po casually picked up the skill data beside her and flipped through it.

How to pose in a way that's attractive enough to entice people when taking photos.

"Snapped."

Fei Tu Hu Po closed the book.

[Hibi Amber: Ah, the book got wet just now... I can't take pictures anymore. By the way... I was just about to ask you... what kind of dance do you think would suit someone like me?]

[Kotobuki Toru: Huh? You're asking me that?]

[Hibi Amber: Yeah... Do you have any suggestions? I trust your advice.]

[Kotobuki Toru: I think you're suited for anything. Just find a few of your favorite dance styles.]

[Hibi Amber: You didn't answer anything, did you? Well, let me ask you... what kind of dance do you usually watch?]

--

Chapter 136 How about the folk dances of China?

But when faced with Hitotsu Kohaku's question, Kotobuki Toru felt that the question might not simply be asking him what kind of dances he watched the most...

He had a gut feeling that if he answered the question, it would mean that he really did watch others dance often, and that a series of troublesome things might happen afterward.

So Kotobuki decided to change his wording.

[Kotobuki Toru: You asked me what kind of dances I usually watch... I usually watch a lot of borderline dances on short video platforms, but strictly speaking, they can't really be considered dance... and the Uma Musume Pretty Derby Association wouldn't allow you to dance those.]

[Hibi Amber: Ugh, I didn't expect you to be so vulgar! Where are your morals? Where are your bottom lines? Where is your connection? Share it!]

Qin Chuitou sighed helplessly and casually sent the few short videos he had recently watched to Fei Tu Hu Po.

[Hibi Amber: Hmm, that's actually pretty exciting... Let's go!]

Although the video contained some suggestive remarks, Fei Tu Hu Po only glanced at it twice before turning it off...

After being reassigned to be a racehorse girl, Hito Amber watched these videos without any emotional reaction. She even felt that the people in the short videos were not as good as her. Their figures were not as good as hers, and even if they were just flirting, their looks were not as good as hers... What's so interesting about this?

And she wondered if it was just her imagination because she had been exercising for too long today, but Fei Tu Hu Po felt that these women had a slight resemblance to her in their eyes and brows.

Let's just assume it's an illusion...

At that moment, Kotobuki Toru sent another message.

[Kotobuki Toru: First of all, although I haven't watched that many dances, and secondly, I really haven't watched many other people dance... Based on these two points, I also think that your muscle coordination is very good, which should be very suitable for Chinese folk dances?]

[Hibiscus Amber: What kind of dance is it in China?]

[Kotobuki Toru: You should look it up when you have time; explaining it is a little awkward...]

With curiosity, Hitoko wrote down what Kotobuki Toru said... After chatting for a few more minutes, Kotobuki Toru said he was going for a night run to take care of his appearance.

Fei Tu Hu Po teased him a couple of times, then the two said goodnight to each other and went offline.

Fei Tu Hu Po didn't feel particularly sleepy. She rolled over in bed, then casually uploaded the photos Qin Chui Tou had just sent her to social media, while also checking out everyone's comments.

[After waiting for so long, I finally got my hands on her! I knew Miss Hibiki wouldn't forget us for Christmas.]

[To celebrate winning the Treisen Freshman Tournament, Meimei and her boyfriend went out and booked a hotel room...no way!]

[Posting this so late, please, Fei Tu's boyfriend, be gentle and don't make Fei Tu cry.]

These strange fans have quite the imagination...

Fei Tu Hu Po pouted, preparing to quickly send a message to clarify herself and protect her innocence.

While typing "[Today, there's not only a curfew in Tereson, but also room checks. We can't do anything reckless]" into her hand, Hito Amber's mind was also wandering.

It seems that fans of Uma Musume (the horse-themed anime/manga series) are quite tolerant of their favorite female characters' romantic relationships...

It's important to understand that in Japan, the job of most "idols" is to use their charm to become the ideal lover of the public, to become everyone's "romantic fantasy object," to meet the needs of fans, and to become the image that fans fantasize about.

Fans and idols alike are usually tight-lipped about romantic relationships, but Uma Musume fans seem to care very little about it... Their jokes are quite risqué, which means they have a very high tolerance for such things.

Perhaps it's because Uma Musume is both an idol and an athlete?

Enjoying life, when getting her hair done or soaking in a hot spring, she's like an idol taking care of herself; when she's in a relationship, she's like an athlete satisfying her hormonal needs—she flexibly switches between these identities depending on her needs…

While lamenting that romance was something so far removed from her own life, Fei Tu Hu Po pressed the upload button for the last few photos.

Unexpectedly, the upload failed this time, and a line of text appeared on the social media account:

Your comment has been banned due to the upload of inappropriate photos.

"Huh? Why did you ban my account again?!"

Fei Tu Hu Po stared through gritted teeth at the image examples provided to her by the social media platform, gnashing her teeth at the notification message.

In the picture, I'm just holding up a cylindrical microphone and singing. If you really want to say something, I'm just sticking out my tongue in a pretentious way. How did that become skirting the line in the system's eyes?!

Although it does look like something out of a nucleic acid test, I didn't lick the microphone!

Well, now I've truly become a silent, invisible idol...

Fei Tu Hu Po's biggest worry right now is whether her account being banned and her inability to explain will lead her imaginative fans to take it as an admission and then increasingly promote the idea that she has a younger boyfriend...

"Waaaaah...no!"

Just as Fei Tu Hu Po was whimpering, the noblewoman pushed open the door and walked in, with Gao Shang Jun Yi standing a few meters behind her.

"Ugh, I'm so tired... My feet hurt. I shouldn't have done ballet..."

As soon as the lady entered the room, she took off her shoes in the entryway and limped into the room on her heels. Leaning against the bed frame, she tried to peek at Fei Tu Hu Po's phone while rubbing her feet.

Gao Shangjunyi followed behind, probably still harboring resentment because she had lost to the noblewoman. Even though she was usually withdrawn, she still spoke up and said a few sarcastic remarks to the noblewoman: "I think it's because you've gained weight, but your toes haven't adapted to your weight yet... that's why you're in pain after just one dance."

"You defeated opponent, how dare you spout such nonsense here!" The noblewoman reached out and grabbed the book beside Fei Tu Hu Po, preparing to use the power of knowledge to interrogate Gao Shang Jun Yi.

However, she became interested when she saw the text on the cover of the Scarlet Amber Book: "Eh... what book is this?"

"Don't take my book!" Fei Tu Hu Po jumped up as if she had been electrocuted, reaching out to try and block the noblewoman's view. "Don't look!"

But the lady had already read the contents of the book aloud.

"When kneeling, the knees should be separated, the heels should be brought together as much as possible, and the soles of the feet should be raised so that the toes and balls of the feet touch the ground. This way, the soles of the feet and knees can form a stable triangular fulcrum... This way, you can better stabilize yourself when your head is hit... Whoa, what is this? A bullet to the head? Or a chokehold... Or... a flying stick is coming?"
