Why was I assigned to be a horse girl?

The noblewoman sighed helplessly. Marriage alliances and sending daughters as gifts have always been highly effective social tools among nobles, both in ancient times and now. Sending a daughter not only solves the marriage problem but also brings huge benefits to both families.

If Hitokohaku could think of this, she would soon begin to wonder why so many wealthy horse racing families would send their horses to Kotobuki Toru's side...

In the arena, Bayer Türkiye had already begun introducing their team, and the three female racehorses instinctively sat up straight.

Team Regulus, a mixed-race horse racing team from Hokkaido, has both noble and poor members. Their most distinctive feature is that they've already gathered two champions from the Tressen Newcomer Race: Hitoko Amber and Lady, a truly terrifying combination! And these two are also the heaviest in the race, with Kita Genko in third place…

As for their team leader and trainer, Kotobuki Toru, judging from the data on paper, she's just a graduate student who hasn't graduated yet. Who knows, she might be dragged back to revise her thesis someday if she's late in graduating.

"Hey! Why are you judging Tou Tou like that! I feel sorry for Tou Tou!"

Hitotsu Amber stood up and raised her fist in protest, before being dragged into the competition area by the noblewoman.

"Fat rabbit, are you still going to run away from the horse this time?"

Fei Tu Hu Po quickly shook her head, "I'm not running anymore. I'm afraid of being the first to stick my neck out. I don't know any escape skills either. I almost lost last time. This time the opponents are even stronger. If I'm not careful, I might really capsize! I'm going to use the off-track running method!"

"Hey... I'm in the same boat, don't try to steal my spot..."

"The capable shall occupy the position!"

The noblewoman curled her lip: "Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too!"

Of course, this was just a moral excuse for herself. In fact, from the very beginning, the noblewoman had the same idea as Hitotsu Amber... The track is so wide, whoever can grab it will get it!

As she stepped through the gate, Hitoko Amber suddenly seemed to sense something and looked around at the racehorse girls...

"Donna, I still feel like I'm dreaming... Should I not be standing on this stage?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? You're scaring yourself with the competition so close? What are you thinking?"

"Look, there are so many racehorse girls here, from the Satomi family, the Takano family... They are all very wealthy young ladies, and I'm the only poor one here. Suddenly, I feel like I've entered a high-end members-only restaurant."

Fei Tu Hu Po clenched her fists, wanting to sing something like "If I were young and accomplished and not insecure..." to vent her unhappiness.

However, the lady laughed: "I thought you were thinking something... Looking down on the poor is something only nouveau riche do, and they will be despised for doing so. We are not nouveau riche."

"Moreover, you alone may not be able to bridge the gap in economic and financial resources, but this is the racetrack of Uma Musume, and everyone's identity is just that of a Uma Musume... It can be said that you are most similar to everyone else right now on the racetrack."

"It seems that's how it is..."

"If you can, prove it to us nobles with your strength! Just like Oguri Hat did to the Central and the Horse Girls Association staff many years ago, prove that once a horse girl steps onto the track, family background, connections, everything else will be null and void! The difference in strength is the only difference that can exist on the track!"

Fei Tu Hu Po suddenly froze, her blood rushing to her head, but her thoughts were clear, as if she were about to realize something... Thousands of thoughts piled up in her heart.

Why are you still spacing out?

"I think I'm about to realize something..."

"Let's talk about it after the match is over! The match is about to start!"

After the lady finished speaking, the iron gate in the mechanical gate closed and locked completely.

"All the racehorses are ready, and the race is about to begin. Which team will win the right to use the garden villa in the Treson Nursery area? Let's wait and see!"

Hearing Dali Arab shout that the match was about to begin, Fei Tu Hu Po gathered up all the distracting thoughts in her mind, her eyes clear, and stared intently at the gate.

"Game start!"

As the gates opened, four teams, comprising a total of twelve female racehorses, filed out.

The female racehorses were swift and fast off the track, truly living up to the name of the Capricorn Cup final...

As soon as they left the gate, the vast majority of female racehorses chose to move towards the inner lane immediately.

Running along the innermost lane means that the racehorse girl's only possible directions are forward, backward, and a single side. She is easily surrounded by other racehorse girls, but everyone is still willing to take the risk of entering the inner lane.

Because the smaller turning radius when cornering on the inside means a shorter distance can be covered, this is the best choice for racehorses that are confident in their leg strength but lack endurance.

For example, the noblewoman on the field, the thunderous roar, and the radiant diamond.

Of course, those with insufficient stamina are better suited to the inside lane... while non-runaway racehorses with sufficient stamina and confidence to catch up with the disadvantage caused by the large corner radius will choose a slightly outside position, like the Golden Ship at the back of the track and the Northern Black Horse at the front.

Although Hitoko didn't recognize most of the racehorse girls, she could easily determine their general attributes just by looking at their running style and initial track choices...

Thinking about this, even Fei Tu Hu Po herself was a little surprised... She didn't expect that she would actually start thinking about the direction of the competition.

Is this thanks to running so many team competitions these past two months? I actually feel like I've become smarter...

A smile appeared on Hitotsu Kohaku's lips, and her aura as a racehorse girl immediately increased significantly.

"Ladies... I will catch up with you, surpass you, and transcend you!"

"Wow... such a strong aura, this kind of racehorse girl, this heavy feeling, it's almost the same as Little Diamond..."

In the lead, the black-haired racehorse girl, Kita Genko, with her pear-shaped hair, shivered. This was the first time she had encountered Hishiko Amber on the racetrack, but she had already heard stories about this racehorse girl from her friend, Satomi Hikari.

Kozumi Satomi and Genko Kita have been inseparable childhood friends since they were young. However, it would be more appropriate to describe these two racehorse girls as both rivals and friends. They train together, pass the entrance exam for Central University together, live in the same dormitory together, and work hard together for their respective goals.

Then both of them suffered setbacks at the Treson Freshman Competition...

Satomi Hikari lost to Hisako, while he himself lost to the noblewoman. The winners lived in the same dormitory, and the losers also lived in the same dormitory, which could be considered a kind of mysterious fate.

After losing to Hitsukoha, Satomi Hikari kept talking about how amazing this racehorse girl was, and would review the previous races whenever he had a chance... Over time, even though Kita Genko had never raced against Hitsukoha, Kita Genko was quite familiar with Hitsukoha.

Kita Genkoma is a racehorse girl who excels at the runner-up style of horse racing, a style that perfectly matches her lively personality—the wonderful Edo Jiro is one who runs the runner-up style with ease and freedom, daring to be the first and showing his style!

When Kita Genko found out that Hitoko was also a racehorse girl who was good at using the runner technique, he was happy for a while, thinking that he could compete with other excellent runner racehorse girls. But unexpectedly, Hitoko chose the runner technique this time.

It's utterly despicable of them to continue humiliating their good friend in the back row while they're surrounded by diamonds...

That's awful! A woman like that deserves to be dealt with severely!

Besides Scarlet Amber, there's also Little Diamond and Thunderous Roar. All three of their biggest rivals on the field are taken down in one go!

I'll make sure you can't even see my back!

The Northern Black Steed kicked up the grass, leaving a huge hole in the ground, and then sped off, leaving a message for its teammates in the air.

"Mejiro-ship... oh no, Golden Ship, and Kyoku-chan, the rest of the track is yours to handle!"

Qiangji responded happily and joyfully: "Leave it to me!"

Golden Ship, on the other hand, remained listless and lethargic: "Yada~ This looks like such a hassle. Actually, I was quite thinking of trying to use the basement as an activity room... After all, we're not exactly a formal team, and the basement is the perfect place for things like putting sacks in the sand!"

"Wow, you..."

Team Spica seems to have lost a player right at the start of the game.

Chapter 164 The Allure of Scarlet Amber: No Regrets for Killing My Sister! Noble! (Bounty 16)

[The black horse is leading the pack on the northern side of the track; she's truly a passionate stallion—she looks so beautiful as she runs.]

[Following closely behind, Satomi Crown appears to be giving tactical instructions to Satomi Hikari and Roaring Thunder.]

[And Gao Shangjunyi and Qiangji, two sisters who were assigned to different teams for various reasons, have now teamed up!]

The clashes at the back of the race team were even more intense. Because of the teams, the original melee of 12 female racehorses had turned into a clash between four factions, making it look even more intense and bloody.

"Sister Gaoshang, Sister Gaoshang~ I didn't expect you to have become so much stronger after so long, you're practically shining! Long time no see, let me treat you to something~ Have one of mine first to hold off the fight!"

"Waaah... Strong attack, aren't we sisters? Why are you targeting me like this... My heart aches so much. Didn't we promise to be best friends forever? You didn't even invite me when you formed the band last time..."

"Hehe~ In these chaotic times, we're all just fighting for our own side! Once we're on the field, we'll be enemies!"

Qiangji grinned slightly, revealing a cute yet cunning smile that resembled a little devil, and said, "I joined Team Spica. Sister Jifeng went to hang out with Trainer Tojo. That's what you call spreading the family line! This is the wisdom of the Zhuge family from China!"

The Kosho Junichi family is not a long-established noble family with a history of over a hundred years, so they do not have the old-fashioned family concepts and bloodline concepts of traditional noble families. Compared to the Satomi family, they would rather stuff all their racehorse girls into Team Capella to form a Satomi army.

The parents of Gao Shangjunyi are more like investors. They are even well-versed in the art of war in the Three Kingdoms period. They firmly believe in not putting all their eggs in one basket and instead put their daughters into several teams, aiming to hedge risks by buying into multiple sides!

Not only did he provoke his older sister, but he also turned to look at Satomi Hikari and Satomi Crown, who were running one after the other. He even deliberately put his hand next to his face, making a gesture as if he wanted to raise his voice, and said loudly.

"Like the Satomi family, throwing all their racehorse girls into one basket! That's incredibly unwise! The Satomi family's curse of not having any G1 racehorse girls for so many years is all because of this! Minion? ~ Minion? ~"

"That was a really strong attack! So rude!"

As the youngest and most precious member of the Satomi family, Kozumi Satomi's inherent sisterly nature clashes with that of Kyouji, which naturally breeds some hostility. Now, after being mocked by Kyouji, she immediately loses her composure. Raising her eyebrows, she moves closer to Kyouji, ready to teach her a lesson. "If your sister won't deal with you, I will!"

But as soon as the crimson restraint skill emerged from Satomi Diamond, Satomi Crown, who was running ahead, quickly stopped her younger sister: "Diamond, don't rush... Attacking her is just deliberately drawing aggro to protect Northern Black Horse. Isn't your purpose in participating in this competition to seek revenge against Hitotsu Amber?"

"Hmm... I, I understand..." Satomi Hikari shifted his gaze back to Hishiko Amber, his expression heavy and profound, as if a dark cloud carrying thunder was rising around him: "Hihiko-kun... this time, I will keep an eye on you!"

Hitotsu Amber, who had been happily watching the love-hate relationship between the group of beautiful Maltese girls, was suddenly stunned. She never expected that she would also be targeted.

Is this what Uma Musume is like? Regardless of winning or losing the race, strange and mysterious consequences always follow...

But that's perfect, I can beat her one more time!

I hate rich girls the most!

Without further hesitation, Hitotsuko suddenly increased the power in her feet and accelerated towards Satomi Hikari, preparing to overtake him and then cooperate with the noblewoman in the inner path to form a pincer movement, thus exhausting Satomi Hikari's fighting spirit and stamina.

But how could Satomi Kozan's team so easily allow Hitoshi Kohaku to put Satomi Kozan in a disadvantageous position as Hitoshi Kohaku had hoped?

The thunderous roar was nothing like the noisy Northern Black Steed or Strong Strike. Full of passion, all tactics were the boss's idea. As a taciturn noblewoman, she had a faint light shimmering on her feet as the noblewoman cooperated with Scarlet Amber to carry out the tactics.

[Lightning Steps, Lateral Acceleration, Slight Increase in Speed]

Although it's just a regular mid-range racehorse girl lane-changing skill, using the skill combined with the Thunderous Roar attribute is enough to get ahead of the lady and create room for Satomi Hikari to move...

The lady gave a soft snort, her lips as sweet as ever: "Tsk, you stubborn brat, instead of banging on the gate, you're bothering me here?"

The noblewoman knew that although the racehorse named Thunderous Roar looked proud and aloof, she was actually quite eccentric. Since childhood, her favorite thing to do was to use her head to butt people and open doors, relying on her stubbornness. Her family also liked to call her Big Hammer. It's a pity that after all these years, Thunderous Roar hasn't gone crazy from her head injuries. She even got into Central Teresa.

"Lady, your words are really infuriating... Hasn't anyone told you this before?"

"Hmph~ You can criticize whoever you want if you have the power!"

The noblewoman and the thunderous roar instantly became like fire and water, a direct confrontation. To make matters worse, the strong attack that had been drawing aggro across the entire frequency range successfully pushed aside the noble steed that was originally in front of the light drill.

"Hey, Little Hat, what are you doing! How did you get forced back by Qiangji? Where's your fighting spirit when you were trying to steal our snacks? Show it!"

Gao Shangjunyi explained timidly, "But, but Qiangji is my younger sister... As the older sister, I should be more considerate of her... Besides, she's stronger than me."

Fei Tu Hu Po almost vomited blood, but Gao Shang Jun Yi was socially awkward and autistic. He could be harsh with the noblewoman, even resorting to physical violence and physics, but he could only speak softly to Gao Shang Jun Yi...

Hitotsu Amber felt she wasn't good at persuasion, but recently, the student council radio station's Ma-chan had been extending olive branches to her multiple times, saying things that made her very embarrassed, such as, "Hitotsu, your voice is definitely one of the best in our Treson," and "The morning time slot is most suitable for you; broadcasting before bedtime is not appropriate, we can't turn a calming broadcast into an energizing one." Even fans had suggested, "Have you considered starting an ASMR channel?"

Therefore, I believe my words are quite persuasive...

"Little Cap, isn't your goal to become the greatest racehorse girl? If you want to become the strongest in history, you have to abandon friendship and family on the racetrack!"

"Listen to me, emperors throughout history have been lonely, and the strong are destined to be alone—I have no regrets about killing my sister!"

"Hey! You lewd woman, don't try to seduce my sister!"

-----

Chapter 165 Even idols trash-talk each other in private.

There were many grudges and rivalries among the participants at today's race, but the female racehorses had even more to say... They were all like chatterboxes, saying whatever came to mind without any restraint.

In a normal competition, people wouldn't dare to say such things... such as attacking the Satomi family for not winning the G1 championship, and angrily denouncing Hitoko as a vulgar racehorse girl, although these statements are all reasonable and generally accepted by the general public.

However, these words cannot be spoken by the female idols of Uma Musume... After all, they are all idols, and if they say these words, they are easily taken out of context and sent out, which would damage their public image.

However, this is an intra-school team competition!

Although the recording of the competition will still be released later, the version released will be edited and spliced ​​by the three goddesses' AI, so there is no need to worry about losing fans or being criticized.

"Little Cap! You're a racehorse girl destined for great things! Great things! Great things!"

"Sister! You mustn't be bewitched by this evil concubine!"

"Big Hammer, you woman! You think you can shut up just because you can't argue with me? Well, I'm going to continue! The so-called strong man humiliates the weak man!"

However, it must be admitted that, regardless of the dimension of the world, verbal attacks and forcibly instilling worldviews in others are very effective offensive methods.

From those who pilot Gundams and constantly chat in chat rooms while floating naked, to those who use verbal sparring to overturn court verdicts... it's fair to say that verbal sparring has become another way to demonstrate strength, and one that's hard to resist trying.

While Hitoko Amber considers herself a tough and resolute warhorse girl, and is as tough as iron except for her tendency to cry... more and more facts prove that Hitoko Amber's ancestors may indeed have had the kind of seductive and wicked woman elements.

Besides being skilled in strength and endurance, they are also adept at persuasion and seduction.

Now, encouraged by Fei Tu Hu Po, Gao Shang Jun Yi Ke is starting to consider attacking Qiang Ji...

"Go for it, Little Hat! Take down the Strong Strike! I'll be right behind you, providing support and making sure you don't have to worry about anything!"

Fei Tu Hu Po's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Gao Shang Jun Yi's originally clear and innocent eyes instantly turned fierce.

"Strong strike... I won't hold back in this match!" A crimson light erupted from Gao Shangjunyi's body. "Now is the time to show my majesty as an elder sister!"
