"That horse will be kept here for the time being. I will pick it up when it grows up. Before that, you must remember to take good care of it, please!"

Soon, an old man who had already led the foal to the stable and had settled it happily walked back with a grin and loudly reminded Anne.

“!!”

!(;?o?)o

"What? You have to take it back when someone raises it, how can you do that?!"

━(?Δ?∥)━ン

Annie was shocked!

Just now she thought the other party gave it to her in a different way, but now she was good. She wanted to help her take care of her and raise her. Then when she grew up, he had to take her away... What an international joke about this? When her ranch was free to be a Thomas House?!

If that was the case, she would never agree and would find an opportunity to eat it!

"ah……"

Seeing the little girl's reaction suddenly so strong, Muqi was slightly stunned and opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

“…”

"Oh!"

"Annie, don't worry! Let me tell you, the reason why Grandpa Muqi told you that was actually giving it to you... But he was afraid that you would not care about the foal, so he used the excuse that he asked you to take care of him."

\

\\

"Everyone in our ore town knows that the foal he sent out has never been taken back. As long as you don't really abuse it!"

At this time, a carpenter Gots, who was working in the house and heard all the conversation between Anne and Much because he was too close, stopped his work rarely, and then smeared the sweat on his forehead with a towel, while lying by the window and laughing and joking at Anne outside the house.

“!!”

=????(???*)

"So that's how it is?"

\("▔□▔)/

"Really, just say no!"

s(?'ヘ′?;)ゞ

Sure enough, it is absolutely unreasonable for Annie to not like to play with these adults for a long time! Look? Such a small thing and so many twists and turns will happen. Wouldn’t they be tired of living?

"That's OK!"

(^～^;)ゞ

"Old Muqi... Grandpa, don't worry, they will definitely take good care of it, and even if they don't have time, they will ask Tibers to take good care of it!"

?(′︶`)?

Anyway, it's just a foal, so that's not a big problem. Anne doesn't plan to waste too much time with the other party and continue to do it here.

"That's good……"

"etc!"

"Anne, your Teebos, who is it?"

He nodded with relief. After receiving the little girl's assurance, Muqi was about to turn around and leave with confidence, but when he was halfway through, he turned around and asked cautiously.

‘Wang~!’

??????:!!

(That's right, 'Tibers' is his bear! However, now it is no longer the shadow bear. It has temporarily become a lively dog ​​by its wicked little master. I believe that before leaving this world and taking risks in another world, I will definitely not be able to go back.)

“…”

"Ah! Anne, what you said about Tibers, shouldn't it be..."

After a moment of stuttering, Muqi seemed to remember something, and then, as if he was a little disbelief, he trembled and stretched out his hand and asked a little puppy squatting on the grass on the pasture.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"That's right! Much, Tibers is Anne's dog!!"

At this time, the carpenter uncle Gots, who had just planned to retreat from the windowsill to work, suddenly burst into laughter, obviously amused by Anne's naive idea of ​​asking a dog to help take care of the foal.

"Why are you laughing!"

o(*'　〼')o

"Tybers is much smarter than you two stupid guys!"

o(′^｀)o Humph!

That's right, although the little bear in her family is omnipotent than her, Queen Anne, who can learn anything at a glance, may be a little bit away from coming, and she is so stupid that she can't learn any other magic after being with her for so long... However, it's really much better than such a weird uncle and a bad old man in front of her.

“…”

In the end, although he was reluctant and helpless, he didn't really believe that a little girl's dog could really take care of his foal, but Old Man Muqi still turned around and left.

Because he had already spoken to send the foal out, it would be obviously inappropriate if he took it back.

However, he also made a secret decision: he would definitely come here to see if he had time. If he saw the other party not taking good care of him, if he saw the other party abuse the pony, he would definitely get it back immediately?

“Eh?”

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

"Grandpa Thomas, with a big nose, why are you here too?"

⊙(?◇?)?

The cunning old man Muqi had just left, and some old man with a bad nose came to Anne's ranch again and walked straight to Anne.

"It's very urgent. I still have a lot of people to inform me, so I'll tell you a long story!"

"Anne..."

"That's right. Today is the 17th, tomorrow is the 18th. Our square in Mining Town will hold a spring horse racing tomorrow. You should have known it earlier, right? However, given that your ranch does not raise horses, we will not invite you to participate, but at that time, please remember to come and watch the competition!"

"That's all!"

After saying that, after wiping the fine layers of sweat beads on his forehead, the mayor Thomas shook his big belly and planned to rush to the next house, preparing to inform and implement the specific information about the competition tomorrow to everyone.

"etc!!"

(??ω????‖)?

"Grandpa Thomas, there is a horse in the ranch!!"

o(′?Д?‵)o

Seeing that the other party was about to leave after they finished talking about things, Annie, who remembered some important things, hurriedly called him, as if she was about to take the foal that she had just bought for a while.

"Master, don't listen to her talk nonsense!"

"Where is a horse that can compete in the competition in her family? It's a foal sent by Uncle Muqi just now. It's definitely not possible to participate in the competition. You should hurry up and notify the next family!"

However, before returning, Mayor Thomas asked, the Gotz, who was lying in front of the window, was resting, quickly adding, which was a magical last-cutting blow, completely cutting off a little guy's idea of ​​riding a foal to participate in the competition.

"There's nothing to do!"

"Annie, underage foals are not allowed to participate in the competition, so let's do it first. Remember to come to the square to watch the competition tomorrow?"

"But don't be too sad, because we will have many games in the future. If this time doesn't work, it will be fine next time. You will definitely have a chance to participate!"

After saying that, Mayor Thomas turned around and did not give a chance to make a fuss about a little girl trying to defend herself or make trouble unreasonably. He hurriedly left, ready to go to the next destination and inform the next family.

"wait……"

!(;?o?)o

"How can this be done?"

?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?

Annie wanted to say something, but the other party quickly disappeared outside the gate of her family's ranch and never thought about giving her a chance.
