Annie's Otherworldly Adventure

36 Goodbye, Grade 3!

Anne returned from the palace in a daze. Apart from that sentence, all she could remember was Henry V's cunning smile, but she didn't have time to think about it anymore, for she was suffocating.

Oh, this damned dress! If she wore it any longer, she would become the first sorceress in history to be strangled by a dress!

After a grueling carriage ride to school, she struggled to climb back to her dormitory, where Little Snowball and Abag were waiting for her at the door.

"Annie!"

"Owner."

The two little pets greeted her obediently. Annie, holding up her petticoat, completely ignored the two little guys, slammed the door shut, and quickly took off her cumbersome dress, changed into a loose dress, then put on her school uniform robe, and took a deep breath.

Ah, I'm finally alive.

Feeling much better, Annie's brain started working again. Uh, did someone just call her?

Annie quickly opened the door and saw Abaga looking up at her with his little head tilted up, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Annie, I was wrong. I promise that from now on, little snowballs will love each other and never quarrel or fight. You can't abandon me..." Abag stretched out his claws, grabbed Anne's skirt, and said pitifully.

“Master, I promise I will never mess with Abag again.” Little Snowball imitated Abag, crawling forward two steps and hugging Annie’s leg.

Anne glanced at Abag, then at Snowball, looking back and forth for a while, but still deliberately kept a straight face.

Don't think she doesn't know that Abag and Little Snowball are just pretending to be pitiful. However, she can't really abandon them, as long as they don't cause trouble again.

"Are you sure you won't cause trouble anymore?"

"I promise I won't make a fuss anymore."

"As long as it promises not to cause trouble." Little Snowball's words drew Abag's wide-eyed stare. Annie coughed lightly, and Abag immediately looked away, continuing to gaze at Annie with teary eyes.

He looked like he was saying, "Look into my sincere eyes, Abagh promises he won't make trouble anymore."

Anne reflected deeply, wondering when Abag had learned such a cunning nature.

In the end, Annie forgave the two little ones.

"Then, Master, please give me a name." Little Snowball's clear, childlike voice came from behind her. Annie was slightly embarrassed; she seemed to have indeed forgotten about it.

What should I call it?

"How about calling it Shanshan?" Annie knew that Little Snowball was a magical pet with its own opinions, so she asked it.

"Shanshan? Shanshan? Shanshan?" Little Snowball thought about it seriously.

"It doesn't sound good," Little Snowball declared.

"Then, Tangtang?"

Little Snowball stared intently at Annie, its arrogant, deadpan eyes looking as if it were looking down on her.

.

“Master, the name with reduplicated syllables sounds like you’re trying to be cute. You’re already 16 years old.”

Annie felt a black line appear in her mind. She herself felt that she must have been struck by lightning to choose this name, but to be criticized by her magical pet made her, the owner, feel so depressed.

"Hehe," Annie chuckled awkwardly, picking up Little Snowball. What an adorable little guy.

"Dora, what do you think of this name?" Dora is a very cute name, Annie thought.

Annie gently stroked the little snowball. The little snowball looked at its owner with its proud, dead-fish eyes. Its owner's embrace was so warm; it felt like its mother.

Mother……

"This name is nice, I like it." Little Snowball tilted its head and rubbed against Annie, unusually obedient.

Annie felt her heart melt instantly. Sure enough, girls can't resist cute little animals, and Dora was her magical pet, a magical pet with whom she shared life.

Therefore, Anne was able to detect some of Dora's emotional changes. At that moment, Dora was very happy and dependent on her.

The warmth between the person and the pet is palpable.

At Anne's feet, Abag sniffed in dissatisfaction and scurried up onto Anne's shoulder.

"Annie Anne"

"What's wrong, Abag?" Anne turned to look at Abag strangely.

Abag looked at her pitifully.

"Annie, you don't only like Snowball and not Abag, do you?"

Annie freed one hand to pat it.

"What are you thinking! Abag will always be Anne's best friend."

"Yes, good partner!"

Abag raised his head triumphantly.

"Haha," Annie couldn't help but laugh.

With that, the fight between Annie's two pets can finally be considered over.

But from that day on, Anne found that her life was becoming more and more lively.

scene one:

“Annie, oh, come and see the new invention of the great Joyce!” Joyce placed his latest alchemical creation in front of Anne, and before Anne could react, a voice rang in her mind.

'Master, is this your friend? Can you tell him that it is very foolish to praise oneself?' The two people who can communicate with her on a spiritual level are the little dragon Abag, who has this ability, and her lovely magical pet Dora.

That clear, cool child's voice undoubtedly belongs to Dora.

'Annie, Dora is slandering your friend!' That was Abag's voice.

Anne: '...'

Scene two:

Garget summoned Anne to tell her about the island of Balan.

“Annie, I believe you already know about the situation on Baran Island, but don’t worry, the school will definitely help you resolve this issue.”

Anne did indeed know all along that Balan Island was a city of sin, and from Joyce she even knew that it was just a little trick by Henry V. Her title of duke was just an ordinary title, not hereditary. Henry V just wanted to use the school to reform Balan Island. The ultimate benefit would be to the Kane royal family.

Therefore, she was not in a hurry, as long as she did not covet the related interests. The game was between the school, the person in the palace, and the ministers.

"Master, who is this old man with small eyes, a face full of wrinkles, and a thick beard?" Dora's voice came.

"I also think he's very old," Abag agreed, a rare occurrence for him.

Anne: '...'

Scene three:

"Come on, Annie, try this outfit on!" Jane excitedly called Annie over to try on the clothes. After trying them on, Annie stood in front of the mirror. The simple pink and blue dress was adorned with small flowers, and the girl looked vibrant and energetic in it.

but……

'Master, why is your chest so flat? Jane is the same age as you, why isn't her chest flat?'

'Annie, Dora says you have flat chests, punch her!'

Can we avoid repeating this?

Anne: '...'

Anne gritted her teeth, but on the surface, she still pretended to be nonchalant and chatted and laughed with Jane.

Unfortunately, like Abag, Annie was worried that Dora's ability to speak would attract too much attention, so she restricted its speech, forcing it to pretend to be a cute little pet. So, she had no choice but to put on the hard work herself…

Although Annie still doesn't know what kind of magical beast Dora is, and even Dora herself doesn't know, a talking magical beast is definitely not a low-level magical beast. Annie is not strong enough, let alone her two magical pets. They are just small fry, not even worth mentioning. Therefore, keeping a low profile is the wisest choice.

As a descendant of dragons, Abag is a being at the top of the beasts, so it seems to be able to hear the thoughts of any animal. Therefore, even though Dora and Annie are communicating telepathically through the magical pet channel, it can still sense it.

Therefore, there is no communication problem between Abag, Dora, and Anne.

And there are many more such "lively" scenes...

'Abag, you've eaten so much but haven't gained any weight; that's a huge waste.'

'Who told you I'm not long? I've transformed now!' Abag chewed on his King Kong Rabbit Meat Biscuit, glared at Dora, and with a whoosh, transformed into a wolf, proudly displaying his strong body.

Dora looked at Abag carefully.

Looking at it this way, you have indeed gained some weight.

Upon hearing this, Abag angrily raised its wolf paw. Just as it did, Annie glanced at it sideways, and Abag instantly transformed back into a little squirrel, obediently eating its meat biscuits, leaving only its tiny beady eyes glaring at Dora.

Gods above, the longer time went on, the stronger Anne's nerves became, thanks to the tempering of the two little ones.

Time slipped by in these little, slightly troublesome, but ultimately smooth days.

Summer vacation has arrived, and Annie's third-grade life has come to an end. Soon, it will be her graduation test.

Every fourth-year Kane student will receive a graduation trial handbook, which assigns points based on the Mercenary Guild's mission level. Students will use the handbook to claim missions, and once they reach a total of 500 points, they will be able to complete the basic trial requirements.

When students return to school for the festival, regardless of whether they achieve a score of 500, they will complete an additional graduation task. Once this task is completed, the students will be officially graduating.

This

A graduation task can be assigned by a teacher or taken on by the student themselves. As long as the task is approved by the teacher, it can be considered a graduation task.

Mark and Kerry accepted the mission directly back then, and they're still stuck on it.

Every year on the Feast Day, Anne would receive a letter from Mark containing some basic information about them, and he would always include some gold coins.

Trust

There was no specific address left, but Annie asked the messenger and learned that the letter came from the Wasteland Continent of the Western Continent. Annie thought that she must go to the Wasteland Continent to find her brother Mark and the others during this trial.

This summer is Annie's last summer as a student. If she graduates smoothly, she chose to join a mercenary team again to train herself before the official graduation trial.

This time, Annie unexpectedly encountered the Silver Wolf Mercenary Group recruiting members again. The Silver Wolf is already a top-tier mercenary group, and they were recruiting a small squad under the Silver Wolf. This time, Annie used her original identity to apply.

Coincidentally, the person who came to recruit her was the female magician, Shidini. Just as Annie was thinking about how to apologize to Shidini, Shidini gave her a big hug and told her that they already knew she was a woman.

Anne was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. Sure enough, she was still far too inexperienced…

The Silver Wolves are much more organized now than before. After the betrayal by their members, they have become more cautious in selecting members and stricter in their management, with everyone fulfilling their responsibilities.

The sorrow of the past may be a prelude to the growth of today.

Anne spent the summer with the Silver Wolves, and from one of the Silver Wolves' veteran members, she learned that Moore had never appeared again after that.

Anne sighed, thinking that her friendship with Moore was probably really over.

The hectic life of a mercenary made her forget everything else quickly. During this vacation, she listened attentively, watched diligently, and learned earnestly. Every minute and every second, Annie tried her best to improve herself.

Thinking back to that summer when she first arrived on the continent of Gerson, Annie Aishi was no longer the Annie Aishi she once was, and Annie was no longer the Annie she once was.
