The weather forecast on TV yesterday has already said that on the 18th of the spring month of the world in Ore Town, that is, today, the weather is set by the goddess to be clear, the sky is cloudless, and the southeast wind is level three, which is a good weather suitable for people to go out on an outing or work hard.

And, of course, it's also great for people to host outdoor activities!

However, I don't know why, I woke up from the bed in a daze, and then subconsciously glanced at the small alarm clock next to the bedside table, and then subconsciously glanced at the miscellaneous wood and tools piled up at the other end of the house, Anne always felt that something was wrong with today's events.

“……”

(ー`′ー)

"Strange! It's almost nine o'clock in the morning, why hasn't that guy from Uncle Gotz come to bang on the door and get to work? People remember that he usually came on time at six o'clock in the morning to make a noise, why hasn't he seen anyone now, is it because he just slept too soundly, so he didn't hear the knock on the door? ”

(°ー°〃)

After sitting for a while, Anne scratched her head with some uncertainty, as if trying to figure out what made things so different today.

“……”

(?? ˇ?ˇ??)

"Could it be because they overslept today, didn't hear a knock on the door, didn't open the door, and then that Uncle Gotz got angry and went back, and didn't plan to help people renovate the house?!"

(； ′⌒`)

"But ......"

(^～^; )ゞ

"People really didn't hear the knock...... Could it be...... That Uncle Gotts, like that useless Uncle Zack, is also sick and on leave? ”

(lll￢ω￢)

After thinking for a while, and even going so far as to make an exception to retrace the time with magic, Anne was sure that no one had knocked on her door for nearly three hours from 06:00 in the morning to almost 9 o'clock now, and then Anne breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about it again.

For Uncle Gotz, who was fine yesterday, super hardworking, super serious and super punctual, Anne didn't think that the other party would get sick, so the other party didn't come to her house on time to work today, it must be something else she didn't know, or something else happened!

"Damn!"

(′～`●)

"I think I forgot something very important......

?? (?? ￣?￣)????

Anne, sitting on the bed and holding a blanket, was struggling...... Yes, she had a faint intuition, as if she had accidentally forgotten something very important and important, but when she thought about it seriously, she seemed to be a little unable to remember, and she felt that it must have some subtle connection with why Uncle Gotz didn't come to her house today?

But......

（?~?）

What the hell is going on?

This is a serious problem, and she, Queen Anne, needs to think about it, think again, think hard.......

（…… ）

(￢?￢。 )

(Report!) Dear little master...... Today is the 18th, an important day for spring horse racing in Ore Town, didn't you still want to take that foal to participate yesterday, why did you forget it now?

ε=(′?'●)))) Alas

- No way, Tibbs, the little milk dog who didn't know when he ran to the house, after finding that the wretched little master of the house was sitting on the bed and muttering to himself, but he couldn't remember anything important, he kindly reminded the other party. ）

"Yikes!!"

! (;?o?) o

"Ahh That's right! People remembered? Isn't it just about the race in Rose Square? Yesterday, that bad-nosed Mayor Thomas came to tell someone? How do you wake up and forget that important thing? ”

━(?Δ?∥)━ン

Finally? After such a reminder from his own Tiebs? Anne finally remembered.

"No way!!"

o(*｀ー′)o

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Tibbs? Shall we hurry? Otherwise, it may be too late~!! ”

ε=ε=￣??? \(“▔□▔)/

Finished? Anne quickly jumped out of bed? All of a sudden, put on your own shoes, and then the thought came to you? Changed clothes directly with magic in an instant? He was ready to take his dogleg Tiebs to the east of town, the Rose Square, which was dedicated to the festival.

(But...... Dear little master, what spring horse racing conference doesn't start until ten o'clock? Are they doing some prep work right now? It's still an hour before the start starts, what can you do if you go so early?

(lll￢?￢)

- Does Tibbs know that Rose Square has been cordoned off by a large group of workers who are busy building the grounds? And that carpenter Gotz was also busy there, which is why the other party didn't come here this morning to knock on the door and come in to work? The reason why I didn't go sawing wood and banging and banging! ）

"Ahh

(?￣?￣)

"That's right! It seems that the old man of Thomas Town also said that it will start at ten o'clock......"

(*^▽^*)

Anne looked at the little alarm clock on the bedside table, which was now 09:01...... Obviously, there was still about an hour before the official opening of the Ten O'Clock Square, and if she had gone now, it would have been a little earlier than the distance that could have been completed in less than ten minutes of strolling.

\ \\

“……”

(ー`′ー)

"Forget it! Then let's just sleep a little longer......"

ヾ(⌒?⌒*)Hehe?

After thinking that it was still early, and finally knowing why Uncle Gotts did not come to work, little Anne, who was finally no longer startled, thought about it, and did not take off her shoes at all, but spread her hands and feet again, and lay back on her little bed.

Since there was finally something to make that Uncle Gotz stop coming to disturb her sleep early in the morning, then Anne must have to make up for a good sleep, even if it was only forty or fifty minutes, she didn't want to let go!

"Tibbs, wait until 9:50 and wake people up, if you dare to make people late, then you will die!!"

? Huh?

After turning her head sideways and threatening the little bear (pronounced gǒu) on the floor not far away, Anne closed her eyes directly, ready to sleep a little, and then waited for her to wake up and wash her face before she could go to the square to watch the game.

It's just that......

What made her look forward to it a little was that she didn't know where the square was, whether their guys were packed with food? Since it's a large-scale event in Ore Town, there must be something delicious to sell or a free reception, right?

（…… ）

_(′?`」∠)_

(Tibbs, who had made a name for himself but was intimidated and threatened for no reason, had to turn his head listlessly and fall to the floor...... If it had known that this was the case, I'm afraid it wouldn't have reminded the bad little master of its family who didn't know how to be a bear. ）

?

It was 10:00 a.m. sharp......

As the sun rose and became more intense, a nasty little girl finally took her dogleg Tibbs to Rose Square in Ore Town, and entered the "Spring Horse Racing Festival" that had just been set up and officially opened to the public with the other residents of Ore Town.

'Hi~! ’

'Little Annie! I'll give you the inside scoop: the horses from Madrigal Farm are also racing this time, and they've won every time they've raced in previous years! However, in previous years, Mr. Murch himself appeared, and this year they seem to have changed people, so if you want to bet, you must be cautious! ’

But I forgot what the number of horses on their madrigal farm was, you can go to the front desk and ask later, I didn't buy it anyway. ’

Anne bumped into the young lady Lynn who was holding some unknown credential in her hand, and after greeting her, she ran to the side and ran to her friends.

"Bet?"

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

"But what's the use of winning?"

?? (?? ￣?￣)????

Little Anne, who has a lot of money, is not short of money now, because she still has a huge sum of more than one million G left after asking Uncle Gorts to renovate the house, even if she keeps eating, drinking and having fun, the money in those accounts is estimated to be enough for her to spend for several years!

After all, the world of Ore Town is only one hundred and twenty days a year, and no matter what, it is unlikely that she will spend more than 10,000 G a day, so she is not in a hurry at all, so that she doesn't care much about the person who bets on horse racing, she just wants to see if there is anything interesting or delicious here.

"Hey~!"

"Little guy, if you buy it from me, you will definitely be able to win, listen to me, my luck has always been very good!!"

Anne ran into Miss Karen, who was showing off to her with a stack of bills in her hand, and motioned for Anne to hurry up and buy them according to her number.

“……”

(^～^; )ゞ

"That...... Sister Karen, they have just come, and they want to go shopping again and see ......"

ヾ (⌒?⌒*) Goodbye~?

Anne was a little afraid of the enthusiastic Miss Karen, so she hurried forward without waiting for the other party to come and grab her and ask her to buy that messy number.

"Annie~?!"

"Did you buy a horse race roll? I just bought some! If you don't buy it, hurry up, you won't be able to buy it when the horse race starts!! ”

At this time, the Anne in the distance said that she was very familiar, and she could often see the other party and Sister Lin fighting with their bare butts in the hot spring, and Miss Pobli even waved a stack of so-called horse racing rolls to show off to her.

"Ah......h

! (;?o?) o

"People will take a look first, and then buy ...... later"

(/^▽^)/

With that, Anne ignored the other and continued to wander forward.

But......

When she saw that many people were buying horse racing rolls to a greater or lesser extent, she couldn't help but hesitate a little, and she gradually became eager to try them out when she didn't plan to buy them...... But fortunately, there is still a lot of time, she is not in a hurry, and she can take another look.

'Hey! Dart, the first game today, who do you say is better to buy? ’

'Hmm......'

'You mean?!' ’

I don't know, I wanted to buy Pastoral Farm, because they have the best horses! But as you can see, Uncle Murch is very old, he hasn't competed for a few years, and this year he suddenly participated, and he was not in control, I always felt a little uneasy......

'What do you mean?' ’

'Dirk, I think we can be a little more conservative and buy more horse racing rolls for two players!' ’

"But in that case, it will cost a lot of money......

That's better than nothing! I didn't buy it last year, and today I want to win some of everything! ’

'Okay, I'll buy it from you!' ’

'Let's go! Let's go to the mayor and discuss which one to buy. ’

'Good! ’

Not far away, Uncle Dart, the owner of the bar, was discussing aloud with Uncle Dick, the owner of the vineyard, about horse racing, so Anne merely listened, and did not dare to disturb the kind of horse race they were concentrating on and discussing.

“……”

(°ー°〃)

"So many people are talking about horse racing tickets, is it really that fun?"

(?? ˇεˇ??)

At this moment, Anne became more and more shaken, and was ready to take a walk, and if she found that there was nothing good to eat, she would also go buy some horse racing tickets to try!

"Huh?"

|?? ω?`)

"Harris, you're here too?"

☆? (o*?ω?)?

Anne bumped into Harris, the officer in uniform, hat, and tie, who was passing by, and waved him in a generous way.

"Ann, Annie, it's you......"

"The ......"

"At today's race, you can take a look at everyone's horses, I heard that Uncle Murch seems to have given you a foal yesterday? So you really want to take a good look at how other people's horses are raised, and I'm looking forward to seeing you and your horses at the autumn horse races? ”

"Haha......"

"You can take a look at it first, you can also go and buy some horse racing tickets, I still have something to ......"

After saying hello to the little guy with a dry smile, Officer Harris, who was afraid that the other party would say something shocking in such a crowded place, hurriedly hid aside.

"Ha~!"

"Annie, are you going to come over and watch the game with May? My horses are also in the race, and you can win by buying a horse race ticket from our Pastoral Farm! ”

'Hey! Little guy, don't go yet, I still want to explain to you some things about raising horses, hey!! ’

In the distance, the Murch of Madrigal's Farm, the bad old man who had given Anne a foal, and his granddaughter, May, waved at Anne in that place.

“！！”

-=???? =????? (?)?

However, Anne didn't want to be like poor May and be restrained behind the bad old man's ass, so she hurried into the crowd without waiting for the other to say anything......

'Jeff, it's a nice day, the sun is warm and the wind is blowing!' ’

"yes......"

"But Sasha, I don't dare to ride a horse, I always think that those guys who can ride horses and can also participate in competitions are amazing."

'Don't talk about that, Jeff, what number of tickets did you buy?' ’

I bought Symphony No. 2 because it has the highest odds, twenty-eight times!' ’

'Ahh I only bought the marionette No. 1, and although its odds are very low, it proves that it is the strongest because of its low odds! ’

'You don't necessarily win with low odds, and you don't forget about last fall!' ’

'Also ......'

'Hey! Manna, what about you? Which number of horse racing tickets did you buy? ’

"Me?"

'I'...... I bought the most beautiful mangrove forest, No. 4, but I've been losing at the horse races for the past few years, and I've never been hit...... It seems that horse racing is not enough just to look at the appearance, and I don't even know what to look at to buy now. ’

'Haha! Then I'm relieved! As long as I'm not the same as Mana, I still have a chance! ’

'Ah......h

"What is Jeff talking nonsense! Mana, don't pay attention to him, the Jockey Club is an important festival in our ore town, you should be happy during the festival, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, let's focus on participating. ”

'Hmmm! Shasha, you're right! ’

‘……’

Mana, the hostess of the vineyard in Ore Town, Jeff, the owner of the grocery house, and Sasha, the mistress of the grocery house, were also discussing the horses in the middle of the field and the horse racing tickets in their hands, which finally made Anne unable to help it.

"Really!"

?? (?? ￣?￣)????

"No! Everybody buys it, and that guy buys a horse racing ticket too!! ”

? (⊙?⊙*)?

Seeing that the things that those guys were discussing were all related to horse racing and horse racing tickets, and seeing that the time was about to start, Anne finally couldn't help it, and directly took her dogleg Tiebs to the official organizing platform of the Jockey Club where Mayor Thomas was in the upper left corner of the square, planning to buy some of the kind of horse racing tickets that I don't know what they were for.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's useful or not, since everyone else can buy it, then why can't she, Queen Anne, buy it?!

"Hah!"

"Annie, I thought you wouldn't be able to sleep at home! Now that the Jockey Club is about to start racing, do you want to buy a lottery ticket? That is, the horse racing ticket, if you buy it, you can still come to me to redeem the goods after the race! ”

"However, in each round, each type of horse racing ticket is only allowed to buy a maximum of ninety-nine tickets per person!"

Finally, five minutes before the game, Mayor Thomas saw the new member of their ore town, and after seeing that the little guy who was not doing well or bad finally appeared, he hurriedly explained it to the other party enthusiastically.

"Of course you want to buy it!"

|??? ω??)???

"But Grandpa Thomas, is there any difference between them?"

? (?ˉ?? ˉ?)?

In fact, listening to the discussion of those guys so enthusiastically when I was shopping just now, Anne was already a little itchy! However, before buying, Anne always had to listen to some of the rules.

"Of course there is a difference!"

"For example, the No. 1 racing horse 'marionette', its comprehensive strength is the strongest, it is an excellent racing horse from the pastoral pasture, the most popular with everyone, and the most people buy it, so the odds are only eight times!"

"As for the No. 2 Horse Racing 'Symphony', it is a little worse, the test data is not outstanding, and it is not favored, so the odds are amazingly high, a full twenty-eight times!"

"The remaining No. 3 'Achilles' and No. 4 'Mangroves' are nine times and eighteen times respectively, which is relatively balanced in all data, not too prominent, and not very bad......

"So Annie, have you figured it out, which one do you want to buy? You'd better hurry though, it's less than three minutes away! ”

It was getting late, and looking at the pocket watch, seeing that there were less than three minutes left, Mayor Thomas urged Anne with some anxiety.

"So that's the case, it sounds very simple, but don't worry, Elder Thomas, people have to think about it first......"

? Huh?

The rules were simple, and Anne understood them once she heard them, but now she was wondering how she could buy them without cheating to ensure her best interests.

（…… ）

(“▔?▔)

(I don't know why, Tiebs, who has been following his little master around the side, suddenly has a bad premonition.) ）

"People have decided, buy 99 tickets for all four types of horse races!"

? (ψ｀▽′)o

After just glancing at the redemption list of the item and the price of those horse racing tickets, Anne quickly came up with a purchase method that would maximize her benefits in the first race.

“！！”

"Anne, it seems...... You can't do that, right? ”

Mayor Thomas was stunned for an instant, he didn't expect such a little guy to be so wealthy, he would have to buy four copies of ninety-nine sheets in one mouth, you know, even if it was Dart, who spent a lot of money every time, they only bought one or two, and then twenty or thirty of each kind was the top of the sky.

And now, this little guy is good, his opening is ninety-nine, and he still buys all the types, it seems that he can't win or lose?

"Why not! Is there such a rule? ”

? (ψ｀╭╮′)o~?

Anne directly threw the card used for the accounting of her ranch to the counter, signaling that the other party could help her settle, anyway, she had money, she was not in a hurry!

"Ahh

"That's not true, but you're going to lose a lot of money, and it's no fun to save like this......"

Hesitating, looking at the time again, Mayor Thomas wanted to persuade the little guy in front of him not to do such a thing that ruined the fun of horse racing...... Although Thomas also knew that there must not be many people in Ore Town who could afford to buy so much in one go, it was always not good to save them like this.

"People don't care!"

~(′?︵?`)~

"Anyway, people have to buy ninety-nine tickets for each horse race, so they can win every time and exchange a lot of things!"

(?￣?? ￣??)?? °

It doesn't matter if you race a horse, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, and the amount of money you spend doesn't matter, but the most important thing now is that she Queen Anne wants to maximize the prizes on the other party's list, so she wants to buy it like this, and it's useless to persuade anyone!!

“……”

"Okay......"

There was no way, although I didn't think it was good, but, seeing that the time was already very urgent, Thomas, who was going to give orders for the players to start horse racing, had to take Annie's ranch account card, and had to compromise with this cunning little girl, so that the other party directly spent a lot of money to buy all the contestants to win.

（…… ）

ε=(′?'●)))) Alas

(Sure enough, Tiebs knew that this kind of thing happened to the bad little master of his house, and that was perfectly normal, and it was used to it anyway.) ）

"You don't have to look at me, the game is about to start!"

(?￣?￣?) Hey!

Soon, under the stunned gaze of the residents of Ore Town, some arrogant little girl bought a large pile of horse race tickets with three hundred and ninety-six chapters from Mayor Thomas's counter, and walked to the guardrail of the horse race, waiting to see which horse would win.

Of course, it didn't matter which horse won to her, Queen Anne, because she won even if she didn't cheat! Because, unlike the residents of Ore Town who were still discussing it fiercely just now, she had already won at the starting line before the race began.
