Ever since a certain annoying Uncle Gots went to work in his ranch house to help him expand the house from the 12th, until the 17th, Anne has lived a fulfilling life in these six days.

Every day, she gets up on time at 06:00 in the morning, because no, Uncle Gots will come on time every day to knock on the door, even if she wants to sleep for three or five minutes more!

Then, after she opened the door and let them into the house to start the day's work, she stopped caring about each other, and slipped straight to the back mountain, first with Pobley, Lynn or other young ladies, such as Mary, Carlene, or Elle, and they frolicked in the hot springs for two hours, and after bathing, they walked around the back mountain, the lake, or the ore town, or to Uncle Tee's house for a big meal, or to Dick's house to drink juice and eat grapes, or to the rose square and the seaside, and so on.

Anyway, she always had a way to play and kill time in a different way, and didn't hurry back until Uncle Gotz finished work at 17:00 p.m.

These days, Anne has not been able to fish out a kappa in the lake in the back mountains, and she has never summoned the so-called 'Goddess-sama' from the Goddess Waterfall next to the hot springs! Anne herself didn't know why, maybe the guys knew something, or maybe they knew how good she was, Queen Anne?

Anyway, every time, as long as she was there, even if they threw the tribute into the pool, they couldn't summon the supposedly magical guy called 'Goddess Lord'!

But fortunately, Anne didn't care about it herself, because she didn't really want to see those spooky guys!

When facing ordinary people, she rarely uses her strength casually, but if she really touches those goddesses or kappa or something, she won't throw a fireball and burn the other party to ashes or something, then she can't guarantee it.

In this way, Anne's recent state of being rich and only knowing how to eat, drink, and have fun and not work has continued, and that kind of thing will definitely not be liked by the vast majority of people in Ore Town! However, there is one exception, and that is Uncle Zack, the shipper who has just finished recuperating two days ago and can return to the busy receiving work!

After Anne promised that she would not ship before the summer, would not go to the back mountains to find goods or catch some messy animals, and would not go to the sea to catch some dangerous aquatic products? Zach was finally able to put his mind at ease and be able to help the Pobley family's chicken farm with peace of mind? Old Man Muki's Pastoral Farm, Saibala's Forge House, Dick's Orchard, Dartshu's Shop, and Sister Kalian's Grocery House are shipping and restocking as normal.

Of course? At the same time, he was finally able to spare time to pick up some very important orders for other parts of Ore Town, such as hospitals, lumberyards, and churches.

But none of those things matter? Because Anne doesn't care about the little things!

And today? Because of the sun? Too big? She had gone to the hot springs early in the morning as a routine to play with Pobley and Miss Ellie, and had taken a nap in them, and when she came back to the pasture, she saw the old man Murkey wandering outside the door of her house with a foal, and she did not know what she wanted to do.

“？？”

く(＾_?) ゝ

"Hello? Old ...... Muki Grandfather? Did you come to my ranch for something here? ”

ヽ(゜Q。 )ノ？

Seeing each other slumping so slightly? Standing outside your door with the reins of a pony behind your back? Just looking inside from the wide open door of the house? Standing there watching Uncle Gotz at work and having no intention of leaving, Anne was a little curious? I couldn't help but walk over quickly and asked strangely.

“！！”

"Ahh Great, Annie? You're finally back, huh? ”

Hear the voice and footsteps of a familiar little girl behind you? After turning around to see that the person who came was indeed the one he was waiting for, Mu Qi, the farmer of Pastoral Farm, exclaimed happily.

“？？”

∑(′△｀)？！

"Do you have something to do? Wouldn't he have come to chat with Gortschu or watch him help people renovate the house? ”

☆? (o*⊙o⊙)?

That's right, Anne knows...... Ever since word spread that Uncle Gotts was asking Uncle Gotts to help renovate the beautiful big house on his ranch, the townspeople of Ore Town, who had nothing to do, including a certain mayor of Bad Nose, Thomas, often came here to watch, or chatter with Uncle Gotz or something.

Anyway, Anne doesn't like those who are full of food and interfere with other people's work, because they look super boring and annoying, and they really affect Uncle Gotz's work, and one day he had to work an hour overtime!

"Huh?"

"No, no, no! Annie, I'm not here to see Gotts to repair the house today, I've already come to see it two days ago, and I'm actually here to find you today......"

Hearing the little girl's words, Mu Qi hurriedly smiled and waved his hand to explain.

"Is that so?"

(゜-゜)

"So, Grandpa Muki, what is the matter with your family, you can talk about it now!"

ヽ(⌒▽⌒)?

Hearing the other party say that he didn't come to see the excitement, this couldn't help but make Anne feel a little curious.

She really wanted to hear what such a bad old man could do to find himself in such a bad old man who seemed to be super unfunny! After all, Anne knows that she is not familiar with the other party, and there is basically no intersection on weekdays, but now the other party is suddenly looking for herself, so the matter is obviously very strange.

"Uh......"

"Let's put it this way, Anne...... I'm coming to you today to ask you for a favor......"

With that, with a slight force in his hand, Murch pulled the foal beside him, which had been loaded with a saddle and bridle, to Anne, who was a little confused and slightly restless.

"Yikes!!"

!？ (?''??)?

A pony?

"People know! Grandpa Murkey, you want to ask someone to buy this foal for you and eat it, right?! ”

o(???) o

If that's the case, Anne said that Fang Ke is the right person! Because, ah, she's very, very good at eating!

In the past, she had eaten some elven king's divine horse or something, and now, eating a foal or something was not a big problem for her at all, who made it spicy and cute, spicy and tender, and looked spicy and delicious?

If you add more cumin, star anise, bay leaves, and cinnamon, and then put some hot spring water in it and simmer it together, it must be very fragrant and delicious, right?

(?′?﹃?`?)

Disastrous!

Just thinking about it, Anne couldn't control her own harass.

（…… ）

(￢?￢。 )

“！！”

"Nope! It's not what you say!! ”

Hearing what the other man said, and seeing that the other man really wanted to come and grab the reins, Murch was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled back the very human pony that was trembling with the foraging breath of an evil little girl, and protected him behind him.

"Annie!"

"It's not the sodium salt you think, you misunderstood me!!"

"I ...... I actually wanted to ask you to help take care of it, I know, you have been very idle lately, you have not gone to farming, nor have you prepared mountain goods, nor have you gone fishing......"

"So ......"

"That's why I wanted to ask you to take care of it! That's right, that's it! ”

In short, that's the case, then it's just that Mu Qi thinks that the little girl in front of him is too idle, and he knows that wandering around in Ore Town all day is not good, and it is easy to set a very bad example and 'example' for his granddaughter Mei or other children in the town?

So, while his foal was a little older and could eat grass and wean, he hurriedly sent it over, intending to let some little guy who had nothing to do all day be a little bit more serious to do?

“……”

"It's been a bit listless lately, and I'm the only bad old man in our pastoral pasture, and I have to take care of so many cows and sheep every day, I really don't have the energy to take care of it alone every day......"

"So, Annie, can you help me take care of it for a while until it grows up?"

"Anyway, please help, help me, an old man with a little bit of a bad leg! And, ah, I've done the math, it should be just right to carry you right now...... So I thought about it for a few days and felt that there was no one better suited to take care of it than you. ”

Afraid of the other party's refusal, Mu Qi hurriedly explained why he had brought the foal here, and desperately wanted to ask the little girl to help take care of it, and at the same time explained the reason, while pretending to be pitiful and begging.

“……”

=???? ('ヮ'=????)

"The ......"

（?~?）

"Alright, alright! All right...... Anyway, someone's stable is over there, and it's still empty, so if you think it's appropriate, Grandpa Muki, and you want to give it to someone, then take it with you......"

?? (′?｀?)???

Originally, Anne didn't want to accept seeing that the other party didn't tell the truth completely, but it seemed strange and pitiful to see the other party, and it seemed good to have a horse in the ranch to play around? Therefore, after struggling for a while, Anne finally nodded lightly like a ghost, which can be regarded as a matter of time.

“！！”

'Oh! Great, it's great if you can say yes! ’

"That's right!"

"Annie, it hasn't been named yet, you can give it your own name later, and then remember to take care of it every day."

"Actually, raising a horse is not as difficult as you think, as long as you remember to take care of it every day, talk to it, brush it, or take it out for a walk or two."

As if he was afraid that Anne would suddenly repent, Old Man Murch looked back excitedly and at the same time, he led the foal and ran to the stable on the other side of the gate of Anne's ranch.

“……”

(lll￢▽￢)

It's possible to take it out for a walk or two when you're bored, but it's okay to talk to the other person or brush your body, unless you're going to talk to him about how to eat it or prepare to put it in the pot, or she, Queen Anne, won't talk to the foal or bathe it!

Because of talking or something, it's enough for her to have her dogleg Tiebs, so she doesn't want that kind of clumsy foal!

（…… ）

(●￣(?) ￣●)

"I've got ...... ready"

"Annie!"

"I'll leave the horse here for now, I'll pick it up when it's older, and until then, remember to take good care of it, please!"

Soon, a bad old man, who had taken the foal to the stable, walked back with a gleeful grin, and at the same time spoke loudly to Anne.

“！！”

! (;?o?) o

"What? If you have to take it back after someone raised you, how can you do it?! ”

━(?Δ?∥)━ン

Anne was directly stunned!

Just now, she thought that the other party had given it to her in a different way, but now it's good, what kind of crooked idea did the other party play, he actually wanted to help the other party take care of it, and help raise it, and then he would take it away when he grew up...... What kind of international joke is this, when her family's ranch is here for free?!

If that's the case, she won't be able to say yes, and will take the opportunity to eat it!

"Ah......h

Seeing that the little girl's reaction was suddenly so strong, Mu Qi was slightly stunned and opened his mouth, not knowing how to phrase it for a while.

“……”

"Huh!"

"Don't worry, Annie! Let me tell you, the reason why Grandpa Muki told you that was actually to give it to you...... However, he was afraid that you would not be interested in the foal if he said that, so he excused himself by saying that he asked you to take care of it. ”

\ \\

"We in Ore Town know that the foal he gave away has never been recovered, as long as you don't really abuse it!"

At this moment, Gotts, a carpenter who was working in the house and had heard all the conversations between Anne and Murch because he was too close, stopped what he was doing, and then wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and smiled and joked to Anne outside the house while lying by the window.

“！！”

=???? (??? *)

"So that's it?"

\(“▔□▔)/

"Really, just say no!"

s(?｀ヘ′?; )ゞ

Sure enough, it's definitely not for nothing that Anne doesn't like to spend a lot of time with these adults! Look? With such a small thing, and so many detours to come out, aren't they tired of living?

"That's fine!"

(^～^; )ゞ

"Old ...... Murch Grandpa, don't worry, people will definitely take care of it, even if they don't have time themselves, they will let Tiebs take care of it!! ”

? (′︶`)?

It's just a foal, anyway, so it's not a big deal, and Anne isn't going to waste too much time continuing to ink with the other party.

"That's good......"

"Wait!"

"Annie, who is your Tibbs?"

Nodding with relief, after receiving the little girl's assurance, Mu Qi was about to turn away with confidence, but halfway through, he turned back and asked cautiously.

'Wang~! ’

?????? ：！！

(That's right, 'Tibbs' is his Uncle Bear!) However, now it is no longer the shadow bear, it has been temporarily turned into a living dog by the magic of its bad little master, and it must not be able to change back until he leaves this world and goes on adventures in other worlds. ）

“……”

"Ahh Annie, you're talking about Tibbs, isn't it ......?"

After a moment of confusion, Murch seemed to remember something, and then, as if in disbelief, he stretched out his hand and asked a little milk dog who was squatting on the grass of the pasture and wagging its tail incessantly.

"Hahahaha!"

"That's right! Murge, Tibbs is Annie's dog!! ”

At this moment, Uncle Götz, the carpenter, who had just retracted from the ledge, burst out laughing heartily, apparently amused by Anne's naïve idea of letting a dog help take care of the foal.

"What are you laughing at!"

o(*｀ー′)o

"Compared to you two stupid guys, Tiebs is so much smarter!"

o(′^')o hum!

That's right, although her little bear may be a hundred million points behind Queen Anne, who is omnipotent and can learn anything at a glance, and is so stupid that she can't learn any other magic after being with her for so long...... However, compared to such a strange uncle and a bad old man in front of him, it is indeed much better.

“……”

In the end, despite all his reluctance and reluctance, and not believing that a little girl's dog could really take care of his foal, the old man Murkey still walked away step by step.

For he had already opened his mouth to send the foal out, and it was obviously not appropriate to take it back again.

However, he also made a secret decision: he will definitely come here to see when he has time, and if he sees that the other party is not taking good care of him, if he sees that the other party abused the pony, he will definitely take it back immediately?

"Huh?"

(???.???)???? 2

"Grandpa Thomas, Mayor Thomas, why are you here too?"

⊙(?◇?)？

The cunning old man of Murch had just left on his front foot, and a bad old man on his back foot came to Anne's ranch again, and walked straight in front of Anne.

"It's urgent, and I still have a lot of people to inform, so I'll make a long story short!"

"Anne ......"

"That's right, today is the 17th, tomorrow is the 18th, and the square in our ore town is going to have a spring horse race tomorrow, you should have known about it, right? However, since you don't have horses on your ranch, we won't invite you to the race, but at that point, be sure to come and watch the race! ”

"That's it!"

After saying that, Mayor Thomas wiped the fine layers of sweat on his forehead, and then he was shy and big-bellied, planning to rush to the next house, ready to inform and implement the details of the game tomorrow to everyone.

"Wait!!"

(?? ω??? ‖)?

"Grandpa Thomas, there's a horse on the ranch!!"

o(′?Д?‵)o

Seeing that the other party was about to leave after saying something, Anne, who remembered something important, hurriedly called out to the other party, as if she was about to take the foal she had just acquired to the race.

"Mayor Mare, don't listen to her!"

"Where does her family have horses that can race? It's a foal that Uncle Murch just sent me, and it's definitely not going to be able to race, so you might as well go and inform the next family! ”

However, without waiting for Mayor Thomas, who was resting in front of the window, Gotz, who was resting in front of the window, hurriedly added that it was a miracle slap that completely cut off the idea of a little guy riding a foal to the race.

"Then there is no way!"

"Annie, underage foals aren't allowed to race, so let's leave it at that, and remember to come to the square tomorrow to watch the race?"

"But don't be too sad, because we still have a lot of games in the future, if you can't do it this time, you will definitely be able to do it next time, and you will definitely have the opportunity to participate!"

With that, Mayor Thomas turned around, and without giving a little girl a chance to try to defend himself or make a fuss, he hurried away quickly, ready to go to the next destination and inform the next family.

"Wait ......"

! (;?o?) o

"How can this be?"

?°(°ˉ?? ˉ?°)°?

Anne wanted to say something, but the other party quickly disappeared from the gate of her family's ranch, and did not even think about giving her a chance.

（…… ）
