Chapter 484 Occupational Disease Strikes Again and Again?
Ōkusu Tomoyuki was still smiling as he teased Haibara Ai, "So, will the young lady choose the same Pony as last time today?"
There was no helping it, this Little Girl with a cold face was too cute, and he couldn't help but want to tease her...
Haibara Ai nodded. She quite liked the Pony she rode last time and was familiar with it, so she didn't want to change.
"Then what about Mr. Chi?" Ōkusu Tomoyuki turned his head and asked Chi Feichei.
"Same as last time." Chi Feichei was also too lazy to change.
None of the Horses in this ranch could communicate.
It wasn't that they were completely without Spirituality, but they were all still ignorant.
"I want to go see Madam Rippu first," Haibara Ai said, "Last time we came, didn't Mr. Onan say she had a miscarriage?"
"How is the Situation now?" Chi Feichei also asked.
'Madam Rippu' was the Mare responsible for breeding at this Ok Ranch, and also the Mother of the Pony that Haibara Ai had chosen.
When they came last time, it hadn't been long since Madam Rippu had a miscarriage, and she looked sickly.
"Then I'll take you over to take a look," Ōkusu Tomoyuki turned around and led the way to the back where the Horses were kept. As they walked, the smile on his Face faded, and he sighed, "Her Mental State has been much better recently, and she's not like those few Days after losing her Child, refusing to eat or drink..."
Takeuchi Sanae followed behind, looking at the Mare over there, "However, the Doctor said that she won't be able to have Children again in the future."
Ōkusu Tomoyuki stopped in front of the Mare, Reach Out and hugged her, "Mr. Chi and Ai are here to see you, do you remember?"
Madam Rippu lowered her Head and nuzzled Ōkusu Tomoyuki, her big Eyes filled with low Mood.
Haibara Ai also stepped forward and Reach Out to touch Madam Rippu.
"Alright," Ōkusu Tomoyuki felt that the Atmosphere was a bit sad, not suitable for Children, released his embrace, and gently patted Madam Rippu's Head, "Madam Rippu is very strong, she'll be fine after a while, let's go see the Pony."
Turning past this row of stables, the group saw in the last stall, a Gray Pony nodding its Head and taking happy Footsteps, the White Patch on its Forehead, shaped like a crescent moon, also swaying.
Haibara Ai's Mood instantly improved, and she quickened her Footsteps to follow Ōkusu Tomoyuki.
Hearing the Footsteps, the Pony raised its Head and looked at the group of people coming over, serious for a second, slightly raised its Head, standing straight, looking like 'Baby is super elegant and steady'.
"Pfft!" Takeuchi Sanae chuckled, "This Child has really become more and more naughty recently."
"Ai, it suits you quite well." Chi Feichei lowered his Head and said to Haibara Ai.
Haibara Ai, who was happily walking towards the Pony, stopped her Footsteps, looked up at Chi Feichei Speechless, "Oh? Really?"
Was he Teasing her?
"Yeah." Chi Feichei nodded.
Haibara Ai choked, Never Mind, she wouldn't argue with Chi Feichei, she would go see her Pony.
The Pony first nuzzled the Hand that Ōkusu Tomoyuki Reach Out, and seeing Haibara Ai standing in front of it, lowered its Head to look, seemed to Realize who it was, and lowered its Head to nuzzle Haibara Ai.
Haibara Ai Reach Out and hugged the Horse's Head, put her Head close, and smiled with her Eyes curved, "You still remember me..."
Huh?
Ōkusu Tomoyuki looked at Haibara Ai in surprise.
He thought this Little Girl was always cold and aloof.
Haibara Ai noticed three Lines of Sight falling on her, put on a cold face in a second, Turn Head and asked, "What's wrong?"
The person who was just laughing like a childish Kid, definitely wasn't her...
She wouldn't be that childish!
"Pfft!" Takeuchi Sanae chuckled again, turned her Head and looked at Chi Feichei.
Mr. Chi was right, they really were a good match...
"Nothing, nothing." Ōkusu Tomoyuki said, unable to help but smile on his Face.
Haibara Ai felt that she had lost Face again, suppressed her embarrassment, Turn Head back, looked at the crescent White Patch on the Pony's Head, and thought of Madam Rippu again.
Madam Rippu was also Gray, and also had a White Patch on her Head, but it was more rounded.
Compared to other Ponies, this was the one that looked most like Madam Rippu.
"Is it Madam Rippu's youngest Child? Will this Child be sold in the future?"
It was also Madam Rippu's last Child.
"This..." Ōkusu Tomoyuki hesitated for a moment, "If someone likes it, or if it has Talent for Competition, it will be sold to the Racecourse in two years, actually, the Racecourse also orders a batch of Horses that look strong and young every year."
Haibara Ai hugged the Pony and fell into Silence.
Takeuchi Sanae explained softly to Haibara Ai, "A Mare's miscarriage is a considerable loss for the ranch. Mr. Onan bought another batch of Ponies before, and the Funds are a bit tight, so we have to contact buyers and sell a batch of Horses, but don't worry, this Child is still young, and can probably be raised for another year or two."
"Ai, Whether or Not to buy this Pony?" Chi Feichei asked.
Buying a Pony to Keep Company with Haibara Ai and play was also good.
"Buy it?" Haibara Ai hesitated, "But..."
"Usually, it will be kept here," Chi Feichei said, "If we buy it, it won't be sold, and no one else will ride it. When you come here again in the future, just choose it."
Ōkusu Tomoyuki smiled and said, "We also have many Horses here that have Masters, but they are just kept here. If you want to ride a Horse, just choose your own Horse, and we will take good care of them."
"Just consider it a Pet. If you have Time to take care of it, you can also take it back to raise for a few Days. If you can't take care of it, send it back." Chi Feichei added.
Haibara Ai was a little tempted.
It wouldn't be sold, and she could also take it back to take care of?
It seemed very...
Uh, wait, there's definitely no way to raise a Horse in Chi Feichei's Apartment Building, Doctor Agasa's House has a Courtyard, so it's possible, but when she thought of other Households walking Dogs after Meals, and her walking a Horse after Meals, she felt the style was a bit Weird.
But then again, the Pets Chi Feichei raised were not common, there were Snakes and Crows, so it wouldn't be strange for her to raise a Horse as a Pet, right?
As soon as Chi Feichei saw Haibara Ai's hesitant look, he knew that Haibara Ai was persuaded, Turn Head to look at Ōkusu Tomoyuki, "Mr. Onan, let's talk about the Price..."
Ōkusu Tomoyuki smiled and said, "Then let's go to my Office and sit for a while, how about it?"
The two people returned Inside the Room to talk about the Price.
Haibara Ai touched the Pony's Head and followed.
Takeuchi Sanae poured Tea for Chi Feichei and Ōkusu Tomoyuki, and also poured a glass of Orange Juice for Haibara Ai.
Ōkusu Tomoyuki took out a Document, opened it, and placed it in front of Chi Feichei, "Madam Rippu is a Dutch Warmblood Horse, and the Pony's Father is also a Dutch Warmblood Horse, this is the Pedigree Certificate, as well as the Vaccination Certificate since birth, Physical Examination Situation, this Child is now one year and three months old, very healthy..."
Chi Feichei roughly flipped through the Document.
Haibara Ai also leaned over to look.
"Dutch Warmblood Horses are most suitable for equestrian Performance and dressage," Ōkusu Tomoyuki said, "For dressage, training can start now, but our ranch does not have professional trainers, so we can't Help with this, if Mr. Chi and Ai need it, we can also Help contact trainers..."
"Mr. Onan, please tell me the Price of the Horse, and the Fee for one year of boarding," Chi Feichei said, "If it's suitable, we will sign the Agreement now."
Ōkusu Tomoyuki choked, "You don't want to go Check the Pony again?"
"No Need, I saw it last time," Chi Feichei said, "The Bones are very straight, the hip Joint to the spine is relatively flat, the neck and Skull are large, the four Foot are sturdy, the Teeth are neat, it's still young now, if it's well-raised in the future, it will be a strong and good Horse, the disadvantage is that the coat color is a bit mixed, the White Patch on the top of the Head is nothing, the crescent moon Pattern is a feature instead, but the Feather of the mane and Tail are mixed white and Gray, which doesn't look very good, but it's still thick and smooth, and there's nothing wrong with the Body..."
Ōkusu Tomoyuki, dumbfounded.
Takeuchi Sanae, dumbfounded.
"The Nutrition supplements like muscle and Bone growth hormone are quite good, But, Mr. Onan may not have noticed a Problem," Chi Feichei looked at Ōkusu Tomoyuki, "This Pony is not thin, but according to the Observation Situation I made last time and this time, its Speed of gaining weight is a bit slow, and it has not reached the physique it should have at its Age."
"It seems to be like that," Ōkusu Tomoyuki nodded thoughtfully, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the Reason for this? I noticed this Problem before, but I asked a Doctor to do a Physical Examination, and the Pony didn't have any Disease, and its digestion is also very normal."
"Under normal Circumstances, Horses with less than 4 Hours of Exercise per Day are considered lightly exercised Horses, and the concentrate in the daily Fodder is controlled at about 15%, which is correct," Chi Feichei looked at Ōkusu Tomoyuki, "The Pony also doesn't have high-intensity Exercise, you probably just let it out to run around for a Day, but this Pony seems to like pacing and Leaping in the stable recently, you haven't counted these amounts of Exercise, if you count these amounts of Exercise, the ratio of concentrate should be about 20%."
Ōkusu Tomoyuki was stared at by Chi Feichei, and couldn't help but sweat a little, feeling like an Elementary School Student who had done something wrong, "Y-Yes, sorry..."
Huh? Wait...
Why did he Say Sorry?
This was still his Pony, right?
Even if he felt guilty and wanted to Say Sorry, he should Say it to the Pony.
Takeuchi Sanae laughed dryly, "Mr. Chi really knows a lot about these things, have you also raised Horses?"
"He is a Veterinarian," Haibara Ai Help to explain, looked at Chi Feichei, and said Teasingly, "Occupational Disease struck again?"
"A bit," Chi Feichei frankly admitted, "I'm a little better at Diagnosis and surgery."
As For internal medicine, Cell, parasites, etc., he didn't know so much about them.
"I See," Takeuchi Sanae chuckled, and couldn't help but ask, "Then how do you see Madam Rippu's Situation? Is her Body recovering quite well?"
"The recovery Situation is considered relatively good," Chi Feichei nodded, and then Realize something was wrong, he wasn't here for a consultation, "Mr. Onan, please quote the Price."
"Ah, sorry," Ōkusu Tomoyuki also Realize, they were here to talk about Horse trading, handed a Form to Chi Feichei, thought for a moment, "I will charge you 100,000 Japanese Yen for the Pony. As for boarding, there are many kinds of Fodder, you can Check the details, and we can also handle Insurance Procedures on your behalf..."
Chi Feichei Look at it, adult Horses and Ponies were separated, the breeding and Price were quite reasonable, there was basic breeding on the Form, and there were also some additional Accounts.
Haibara Ai leaned over to look along with him, she didn't quite understand, it was fine for Chi Feichei to decide, But...
The Fee for one year of breeding was more expensive than the Horse, much more expensive.
Alas, there was a sense of 'raising a daughter is really not easy'...
"Whether or Not to find someone to train dressage?" Chi Feichei Turn Head and asked Haibara Ai.
Haibara Ai Consider for two seconds, shook her Head, "No Need for now, we don't need it to participate in Competitions, daily training will also be very boring, let it play for a while longer, if we find that it likes it, then it's not too late to let it learn."
"You can try to train it yourself, it doesn't matter how well you train it, you can cultivate Emotion."
Chi Feichei Say a Sentence, and then communicated the breeding Solution with Ōkusu Tomoyuki.
Basic breeding package goes without saying, choose the best one, first board for a year, if it doesn't work, we can also change to other ranches, in addition, there are also additional Projects such as regular Physical Examination, daily Exercise training, transportation to Tokyo when necessary, designated good Horseshoes, designated Stable Bedding, etc., plus Insurance...
In the end, after calculation, the Pony is 100,000 Japanese Yen, and the boarding Fee for one year is 550,000 Japanese Yen.
Raising Horses is indeed more expensive than buying Horses.
