"Um?"
(っ?-?)
In the crystal wall of the plane and the chaotic void of the world, which are extremely dangerous for ordinary people, or for ordinary Gods and Creators, a certain troubled little girl Annie is completely like a normal person at this time. , fell asleep soundly in this magical place with no concepts of time, space, dimension, etc., and only after she had had enough sleep did she slowly 'sit' up from her original curled-up sleeping posture and rub her hands. Rubbing eyes.
"..."
?(?′0`?)?Oh~!
"Eh? It's strange... why is it still dark after everyone has slept for such a long time..."
?(⊙o⊙*)?
As soon as she opened her eyes and looked at the dark world, Annie murmured subconsciously.
"It turns out it's still here..."
(?Д?≡?д?)!?
After looking around for a while, Annie finally realized what was happening and finally understood why she felt like she had been sleeping for a long, long time, but she never got the warm feeling of sunbathing.
"People know, it turns out that I accidentally overslept!"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
Before, after she had severely bullied a certain bad guy in that world, and then played for a while in the Kingdom of Li Yestije and the Angelicia Mountains, Annie came here. She planned to randomly pick a world to play in that she had never been to, but who would have thought... when she was struggling with which world she should go to, she accidentally fell asleep and didn't wake up until now?
"..."
(?~?)
"Ah sneeze~!!"
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
Suddenly, after blinking and holding it in for a while, Annie couldn't hold it back and sneezed so loudly that her tears burst out.
"!!"
(ー`′ー)
"Really, Tibbers, I think there must be some bad guy saying bad things about me..."
(￢д￢.)
"They were just sleeping in between the dimensional barriers. They were lazy for a little while and didn't rush to choose a world to play. Some bad guys said bad things about them and cursed them in the middle of the night. If you can’t order takeout, you can only eat expired instant noodles, and there are no forks, no seasoning packets, and you can’t even find boiling water..."
?(?﹏?,)?
Annie, who felt that she might have been missed by some bad guys who didn't subscribe but still dared to say bad things about her, complained a bit, and then stood up with a cold snort, carrying her own Little Bear Tibbers began to wander around and look between the crystal walls of this plane.
She had just woken up now. For her who was in the late stage of difficulty in choosing syndrome, she had not yet decided which bizarre world to choose to adventure in... So, she decided to continue to look around and continue to research. How about chatting and discussing with your little bear?
(…)
ε=(′?｀●)))Alas
(Tibbers doesn’t want to pay much attention to his bad little master. Anyway, whether or not he goes to play or where he goes to play, it doesn’t make much difference to the bear in his hand. He is also happy here. Taking a nap between the barriers of the mysterious plane world.)
"Okay! It's decided!"
?(?????????)??????
"This is it!"
??(′?｀?)???
"This world seems to be quite new, so why don't you go and have a look inside? There should be a lot of delicious or fun things, right?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
Finally, after shopping for a while, Annie really didn't know what to choose, so she had to close her eyes and walk around casually, then stood still in front of a small plane world and opened her eyes again. , and then directly selected: it is such a small world that she will adventure and play in next.
"Tibbers, let's go!!"
o(′▽｀)o =3 =3 =3
After making up her mind, Annie stopped nagging and just dove right in!
Then……
When she opened her eyes again, she discovered that...she seemed to be in a dilapidated and abandoned farm now?
Well, this is actually not too dilapidated. At least the main buildings are still in good condition and seem to have been renovated not long ago. At most, the flat ground in front of her is just full of half-person-high buildings. Just weeds, rocks and all kinds of garbage?
Then, Annie began to look around, and scanned the circle with her spiritual consciousness. She quickly determined her location and found that this seemed to be an interesting town, and the place she was now in was A place in the southwest corner of the town close to the river and convenient for drawing water.
"So……"
(???)?
"Eh?"
(°ー°〃)?
Just when Annie was about to go to the small town to find a place to have a good meal, she suddenly discovered: a man wearing a red dress, a funny red hat on his head, glasses and a big round asshole The strange old man with the nose quickly ran in from the farm gate and rushed directly in front of her impatiently?
"call!"
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Obviously, running at a fast pace is really difficult for such a fat old man with a fat body in front of him, so after he ran up to Anne, the first thing he did was hold his knees and mouth. Panting heavily.
"..."
|??ω?`)
Looking at the other party's look, Annie was a little worried that the other party would suddenly be out of breath, roll her eyes, stick out her tongue, lie down at her feet, and then belch directly?
If the other party is really like that, she will definitely not save him, because she hates the kind of people who don't study well all day long, and then find new ways to get into trouble!
"Huh?"
"You little guy...why are you here?!"
"etc!"
"You probably came here because you heard from the Ore Town real estate registration newspaper that you can enjoy a 'comfortable natural life' in our 'beautiful ranch'?"
"You took over this ranch?!"
The weird old man with the bad nose said this excitedly without waiting for Annie to speak. However, he soon frowned again and muttered quietly.
'Well……'
'Looks a bit young, maybe less than ten years old, right? Although it's a bit unreasonable, I can't control that much now. If she takes it, it's equivalent to her guardian taking it... Yes! No matter what, this is what we should do! '
"Hello!"
"Little guy, let me ask you, in the name of the goddess, do you want to take over this ranch and enjoy a good life on this ranch and in our mineral town?!"
Soon, the old man with the bad nose only muttered a few words and then made up his mind. He approached little Annie with no good intentions and asked thiefly.
"???"
(???.???)????
Although she didn't know what the other person's mutterings meant, when she heard the other person ask her if she wanted to enjoy a good life, Anne nodded subconsciously without thinking.
If there are delicious and fun things in this ore town, then of course she would be happy to enjoy a good life on this farm and in this town, there is no doubt about it!
(…)
(￢?￢.)
"Hahaha!"
"Great! Someone has been deceived again... Well, cough! Now, I, Thomas, solemnly declare in the name of the mayor: Little guy, this ranch belongs to you from now on!!"
The old man with a bad nose named Thomas who claimed to be the mayor couldn't wait to laugh loudly as if he was relieved after seeing Anne's confused nodding action, and eagerly announced on the spot that he was protected and recognized by the goddess. , a sacred decision with legal force.
Yes, in Mayor Thomas' view, the matter was settled after the other party came here and nodded and he just announced the decision.
"??"
(“▔□▔)
"Hey! Grandpa Wei, he is actually..."
(^～^;)ゞ
Although the other party looked very cunning, considering that the other party wanted to give her such a big place and so many houses when they met, Anne thought about it and was not too angry. She just wanted A few words of parsing with the other party showed that she was not here to receive her as the other party imagined.
However, before Annie had time to speak and explain clearly, she was once again interrupted by the other party's hurried voice.
"Ha ha!"
"Don't worry, little guy. The announcement I just made has the legal effect of sacredness. From today on, this ranch belongs to you!"
"It doesn't matter if you can't manage it. You can call your family to help you manage it. Anyway, I don't think a little kid like you has the ability to handle such a big ranch..."
"??"
"Strange, what does your disgusted little expression mean? I tell you, you must not dislike it!"
"Let me tell you, this pasture used to be very beautiful. It was filled with a large area of crops. Every harvest day, it was always pleasant to look at it and it was connected into a large area. There were also those cows, sheep, chickens and ducks, and Beautiful horses... But that was several years ago. Ever since the old rancher died, this place has been abandoned because no one is willing to take over..."
"If someone is willing to farm or invest, I think it will come back to life soon!"
"well……"
As he spoke, he looked around the desolate farm and then at the fertile farmland where the weeds were taller than a person. Mayor Thomas, who had a bad nose, gave a rare and heavy sigh.
"that……"
!(;?o?)o
Seeing the other party stop, Anne was just about to add or correct something, but unexpectedly, the other party spoke again and interrupted her again. Anne was so angry that she almost couldn't hold back a fireball and hit the other party in the face!
"I also know that there is nothing we can do about it."
"After all, many young people in villages and towns are now moving to cities. They don't want to stay in small villages and towns, and few people want to run ranches. Even those who have land at home are thinking about developers all day long. Let's develop it..."
"But they don't even think about what they will eat and drink if all the farmland and farms are developed into urban real estate?!"
"Those people don't do anything serious all day long, they just want to make a fortune... Just wait, if everyone stops farming in the future and uses the land to build houses and roads, then maybe they can still eat those who can A reinforced concrete house where people can live but cannot protect their lives?”
"Why don't they think that farms and crops are the root of people's survival..."
Mayor Thomas complained bitterly and cursedly. It was obvious that no one was willing to take over the farm, and the young people were unwilling to farm, while the old people wanted to do it but couldn't. In the end, they could only leave it abandoned like this, even if they wanted to. I feel very, very angry that I can’t even give it away for free!
"..."
(lll￢▽￢)
Anne suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. She began to feel that there was something strange about the talkative old guy in front of her? Moreover, the other party clearly misunderstood me, but he was unwilling to listen to his explanation no matter what, so he just kept talking nonsense on the sidelines.
And if she hadn't just woken up and was in a good mood now, she might have given him a bad look and walked away or beat him up.
(…)
(●￣(?)￣●)
"correct!"
"Little guy, I just forgot to ask, what is your name?"
Finally, Mayor Thomas remembered something important at this time. After all, he needed the other party's name when he wanted to sign the document, and this matter needed to be implemented as soon as possible. It had to be written down in black and white, so that the other party could escape even if they wanted to. There is no way to escape!
Although it's a little bad to do something like that to such a little girl, he can't control that much now.
"..."
(?′??`?)
"All right……"
?▽?
"My name is Anne...Anne Hastur..."
???(＿＿*)??
Although the other party's behavior made Anne a little unhappy and always felt weird, but... Anne, who didn't know how to explain it after thinking about it, had no choice but to say her name in frustration and planned to wait later. After the other party finished speaking, she would explain slowly. Anyway, she was not in a hurry now.
"very good!"
"Little Annie, here's the thing... In order to attract people to take over this farm, our Ore Town posted a false advertisement... Well, that kind of thing is not important, you don't have to worry about it!"
"Anyway, no one has been willing to come for so many years, and those who come always turn around and leave... But now that you are here, it belongs to your home! Don't worry, I will sign a legal document for you later. It’s proven, and I guarantee that no one can take it away from you!”
"So, you go find your family now, and I'll go back and issue you a certificate?"
"You wait, you must wait!!"
After saying that, maybe he was afraid that the little girl would regret it, or maybe he was afraid that the little girl's family would find out and regret it, so the old mayor Thomas hurriedly dragged his fat body to the farm gate again and headed towards the town to the north. He ran quickly and disappeared after a while.
"Hey! Just wait!"
!? (?''??)?
"I told you! You seem to have made a mistake. They really are not here to take over your farm. They are just passing by..."
=????(???*)
However, before Annie could say more, the other party had already disappeared...
"..."
(??ˇεˇ??)
"Tibbers, it seems like he didn't even have time to say whether he wanted to accept it, right? Why is he like that?!"
=????('ヮ'三'ヮ'=????)
Anne said she was a little confused. She didn't seem to have time to say a few words just now, nor did she express her intention to agree to something. Why did the other party inexplicably want to turn such a farm into nothing after talking so much? Gave it to her?
(It seems that this farm has been abandoned for a long time and no one wants it. When he saw you here, he thought you or your family wanted it, so he gave it to you directly?
(●￣(?)￣●)
——Yes, Count Ti thinks that is probably what the matter means. Anyway, even if it is not, it is not much different. At most, there may be a little misunderstanding. )
"It's like this... But how can he be like this? He clearly gives it to someone who clearly doesn't want it?!"
(?????)
"Although I have never played with the farm before, and it seems to be quite fun... However, that weird old man gave one to me for no reason, so I always felt that it would not be a good thing..."
(?╭╮?)
"but……"
(°ー°〃),
"Hmph!"
o(′^｀)o
"He dares to ask for it if he dares to give it away! It's just a farm, so what's so great about it? Although he has never played with it, let alone planted flowers and plants, he used to help Amorin's mother water the magic potion and she would often die from it. , the little wolves and little crocodiles they raised were eaten before they grew up... However, they are experienced at least, and they will definitely be very, very good at running ranches!"
ε?(????)?з
After struggling for a while, she felt that this town might be fun or might have delicious food, so Annie simply stopped leaving and started wandering around the farm, planning to wait for the old man with the bad nose just now. , waiting for Mayor Thomas of Ore Town to send him the title deed or transfer document of this ranch.
Then, from today on, she, Queen Anne, will live here in this ranch and mineral town.
(…)
(lll￢?￢)
(However, Tibbs is different from his bad little master. He vaguely begins to have some bad premonitions, always feeling that something bad will happen to his little master when he stays here... Of course, Bad things will obviously happen to others, or in this ore town?)
