?

Time flies quickly, and most of the month has passed in the blink of an eye......

Anne's ranch is currently in good condition, and all kinds of summer crops, such as tomatoes, corn, onions, pumpkins and pineapples, have begun to be produced in batches, and even eggs, wool and milk have begun to produce a small amount.

Of course, it was all the work of the hard-working elves and dwarfs, and Anne had graciously given them all the work, even hoeing and sowing, and she was so trusting that she would only eat, drink, and wander around, and the work of the pasture would not have been taken care of.

Now, for example, because of the hot weather, she slipped away to the beach again without paying attention......

“！！”

! (;?o?) o

"It's here again, and it seems that it's too hot, so my body instinctively wants to eat ice cream......

?°(°ˉ?? ˉ?°)°?

"Forget it! Anyway, it's all here, so let's eat a little bit, right? ”

o(′▽｀)o =3 =3 =3

That's right, just a little, maybe a few big bowls? And Anne assured that she really didn't mean to come to the beach to find a cold drink to eat, she just walked around, accidentally lost a little heart, and naturally came here.

"Is anyone there?"

|? ̇? ̇) Hello?

Seeing that the door of the ice cream shop was ajar, Anne, who thought that it had not yet reached business hours, quietly showed half of her head and looked into the store, and then soon, she found that there were two little brothers inside who were secretly talking about something.

'Kaye, are you done?' ’

'That's it! ’

Then give me a taste. ’

'Of course! You try this first, and this ......

‘！！ ’

'It's delicious......

'Really? ’

'I'm glad you could say that, Gray?! ’

'I'm also pleased with your hospitality this time, Kaye?......

“……”

|?? ω?`)？

I don't know what the two of them are doing, and Anne, who still looked at each other with affection, and didn't notice her arrival at all, thought about it, and walked in softly.

What are the two of them doing Annicole doesn't care, because she just seems to have heard that they seem to be eating something delicious? If that's the case, since she touched it, she definitely won't miss it easily!

"Huh?"

"Ahh It's little Annie, are you here again? Welcome! ”

"Ugh!"

"Hi~! Hello Anne......"

The two men, who were talking something secretly, quickly changed their faces when they saw Anne sneaking in with a curious expression, and then took a step back in unison before saying hello to Anne.

"Strange ......"

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

"What are you two guys doing sneaking here? And also? Little Brother Gray? Why are you here, looking so weird? ”

☆? (o*?ω?)?

“！！”

"Huh? Is there anything strange about my face? No way? ”

Gray subconsciously touched his face, but he quickly came back to his senses? And with some shame, he retorted to the eventful little girl in front of him:

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"What are Kaye and I not doing sneaking here? Did Kaye tell me to try his craft and try his new dishes? That's why I'm here! ”

Luckily, they really didn't do anything just now? Otherwise, if you are bumped into and preached by this little girl who has no mouth to cover? Then they'll be miserable!

"That's right!"

"I need to understand the tastes of other people in Ore Town, and it just so happens that I have a good relationship with Gray, so I don't know who to ask for other than to trouble him for help."

"I just let him try a lot of new dishes? And don't really want people to see it? That's why the door is hidden, not as sneaky as you say! ”

Gray had just finished speaking, and the one standing at the counter? Kaye, the owner of the Sea House, who still had a turban on his head, also hurriedly explained.

"But Kaye ......"

"To be honest, you guy deserves to be a professional shopkeeper, and his craftsmanship is really super? What did I like the new dishes just now? Regardless of what I need to improve? The taste is a little lighter, and I believe it will be a big sale! ”

"Also, it's summer, everyone comes to the beach to play, if there can be a barbecue, it will be better!"

"Really?"

"Thank you Gray, with your words, I know that this research has not been in vain, and I will work hard to improve!"

"Yes, Kaye, you have to have faith in yourself!"

"Of course! I will. ”

As they spoke, the two of them seemed to have forgotten the existence of a little guy who was a little shorter than the counter, and they just talked and laughed loudly and I said one by one.

“……”

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

"Hey! Is there really anything new for free to eat? Brother Kaye, take it out quickly, and they can also help you taste it! ”

? (????)?

Anne understood, probably it was this little brother Kaye who researched some new dishes or desserts, so he asked this Gray to come here to taste?

However, Anne said that there is really no one in the whole Ore Town who has more say than her when it comes to tasting food, even the gourmand with a big mouth, dachshund lips, and looks like a pig doesn't have as much as she has eaten, so it's not wrong to ask her for a tasting!

If she thinks it's delicious, then others will definitely think it's delicious, so there's no need to look for this little brother Gray who knows that it's unreliable at all, just look for her Queen Anne.

"Huh?"

"That's, that's not going to work!"

"Annie, I only invited Gray, but I didn't say I wanted you! Moreover, I have long figured out your tastes, you little guy likes to eat sweets, even ice cream has to be added with more jam and honey, and your favorite flavor may not be liked by others. ”

For the little girl who has often come here since the beginning of the summer and has come here to squander money to eat and drink since the opening of her 'Sea House' store, Kaye has already figured out the other party's tastes, and of course, the other party's wallet...... Therefore, knowing that the other party's opinion must not represent the entire Ore Town, he didn't think about asking the other party to help taste the dishes.

After all, a little girl's tastes are indeed not representative of the other adults in Ore Town.

"That's right!"

"Little one, your Tibbs...... That puppy, he didn't follow you to me, did he? ”

Suddenly, Kaye seemed to remember something important, so he hurriedly propped up the counter with some trepidation and glanced out, and found that a certain bad little girl was indeed not followed by anything else, and indeed did not bring the terrible puppy of the other party's family, and he finally put his mind at ease.

That's right, Kaye really doesn't like dogs, and he's even a little scared!

For Kaye, who only comes to Ore Town in the summer to do business, doesn't often be seen locally, doesn't often hang out, and is like a stranger to Ore Town, it's certainly unlikely that he likes dogs!

Because, no matter whose dog he raised, he would often chase him and bark wildly, so wasn't it a good experience for him Kaye? So, even with him, I don't like dogs very much!

Especially Tiebs, the little dog of Little Annie's family, seems to be smarter and more ruthless than ordinary dogs! He still remembers that a few days ago, he accidentally provoked it, and was chased by it and several dogs for several streets, and finally had to quickly climb a tree with explosive potential, and was forced to stay on it for a long time before finally being rescued by the patrolling police officer Harris......

"Tibbs?"

(′??? `)

"No, what are you looking for, do you need someone to call it now?"

? (⊙?⊙)?

Anne didn't know what kind of entanglement or holiday her Tibbs had with the little brother Kaye in front of her, thinking that the other party liked Tiebs for her, so she planned to whistle and summon the other party.

“！！”

"No, no, no! Anne, don't! Don't~!! ”

What are you kidding, Anne's dog is not here Kaye can barely relax a little, if the other party often brings the dog to the beach to play and make trouble in his shop, then will he still do business?

"Then why are you asking about it?"

\(“▔□▔)/

“！！”

"It's simple, because I'm afraid of it, and I don't like all dogs, so you're satisfied, right?"

Kaye replied with some chagrin, anyway, he was afraid of dogs and was chased by dogs many times, so he didn't mind that such a little guy knew.

"That's ...... so"

? (*⊙o⊙)????

"You guy, such a big person, is even afraid of a little milk dog~!!"

Hahaha?? (??? *)

You know, Anne's Tiebs is a little milk dog, and he is limited by Anne's strength, compared to a normal puppy, except for the eyes are a little fiercer, more ruthless, in fact, there is not much difference, and now, such a strong-looking guy would be afraid of her puppy?

"Damn!"

"Isn't it normal to be afraid of dogs, and what's so funny?!"

Kaye began to blow his nose and glared at the little girl, and vaguely regretted telling the other party about his fear of dogs.

"It's not too early......"

"Kaye, I have to go back, if it's late, my grandfather will be talking to me for a while, I must hurry back and get ready for work."

"Goodbye Annie, if you need to modify farm tools, you can always come to me in the forge house, although I know that your farm doesn't seem to need to use farm tools much?"

Gray knew that Annie's ranch had seven magical dwarfs to help with the work, so he didn't seem to need her to work, which he had envied for a while, but he didn't dare to touch the magic dwarfs, so he just talked casually, and then prepared to say goodbye to Kaye and leave.

"Excellent! Goodbye little brother Gray~! ”

ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~

It's okay if the other party leaves, so you don't have to stay here to know that chatting with that little brother Kaye affects her Queen Anne to buy shaved ice and cold drinks.

“！！”

"Wait! Gray, there's an annual fireworks show on the beach tomorrow night, so when the time comes, can I invite you to watch the fireworks together? ”

Before Gray was about to leave the Sea House, Kaye suddenly remembered something, and then didn't bother to entertain a little guy, so he hurriedly invited.

"Ahh Tomorrow is the 24th of summer? I almost forgot ......."

"But Kaye, don't you need to invite Perbley to watch with you? I know, you like Poebley, she seems to have a crush on you, and she said she wanted to live in a big city outside of Ore Town......"

Gray hadn't actually forgotten what tomorrow would be, he just hesitated and deliberately said that...... Because he was going to go to the library tomorrow, pretending to read a book, and then looking for an opportunity to invite Mary to watch the fireworks with him, he had planned it all, and he didn't want to disrupt his long-brewing schedule because of Kaye.

"Perbley? Hum! What's so good about women? ”

"I'm not going to invite her, and her brother Rick doesn't like me at all, and he came to my shop last time to warn me once, and if I dare to invite her to the chicken farm, I guess he'll let the dog out or chase me out with a broom......"

Kaye complained a little resentfully, but there was nothing too good to do, because he wasn't a native of Ore Town, and as an outsider, he couldn't really fight that Rick sometimes.

"So, I thought about it, and I thought it would be better to go to the fireworks with Gray and then come back all night to play video games, you don't know, I bought the latest shooter cartridge and tank battle this year!"

If it had been before Rick had threatened him, Kaye might have tried to invite Perbley, but for now, he thought the game might be a little more fun than a girl, and he would be happy without having to think about all the troubles.

"This ......"

"Alright then, Kaye, let's settle it!"

After thinking about it, Gray, who felt that Mary might not necessarily agree to his invitation, had to reluctantly agree after a while, after all, the other party had just invited him to eat, and he couldn't bear to watch the other party alone at the fireworks display...... Moreover, he suddenly felt that if there was a new game cassette to play all night, it really seemed more cost-effective than looking for a girl to watch a beautiful fireworks?

After all, his grandfather Saibala was usually very strict with him, and he never dared to play video games at home, and tomorrow night and the day after tomorrow were very rare holidays for him, and he said that he had to rest and indulge in everything.

'Great! So let's just say it? ’

'Hmmm! See you tomorrow night! ’

'Okay! See you or leave you! ’

'Hmmm! Kaye, I'll go back to work first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow night. ’

'Good! ’

Seeing that little brother Gray and the boss Kaye left the store excitedly after speaking, Anne came to the counter with some curiosity and asked:

"Kaye's Little Brother ......"

o(?ω?) o

"What's a fireworks display?"

(*^▽^*)

Anne wasn't interested in the backward cassette game that the other party was talking about, but felt very curious about the fireworks display or something, because Anne said that if she hadn't listened to the two guys in front of her today, she might not have known anything about it!

"You don't know?"

"Didn't anyone remind you this morning?"

Kaye was a little surprised, it stands to reason that on that kind of important day, someone must have reminded him, and even if no one reminded or didn't touch it, he would leave a card in the mailbox.

"Nope!"

┗(▔，▔)┛

"People just got up, and they didn't see anyone going to the ranch to remind them of the fireworks display tomorrow......"

?? (?? ￣?￣)????

Maybe someone has been, maybe not, but anyway, Anne only knows that she hasn't met it, maybe those people can't wait to leave on their own?

“！！”

"You never look at the calendar or the mailbox?"

Even if no one reminds him in person, Kaye thinks someone should leave a reminder, and of course, the calendar clearly states the specific date and time of the event.

"It's been a long time since people have looked at the calendar and mailbox......"

=???? (??? *)

Anne had seen the calendar at home not long ago, but where did she remember when the fireworks display was held? She often wakes up and can't remember what day it is!

For Anne, time and date mean nothing at all.

Not to mention the mailbox, it seems that she has never remembered to open it since she came to this ore town, and she never thought that someone would send her a letter or something.

"Okay then~!"

"Here's the thing......"

There was no way, Kaye just had to be patient and explain to the little guy in front of him about the fireworks show held here on the beach every summer on the 24th.

It's not too complicated, it's just a routine show of fireworks being launched into the sky by ships on this empty seaside beach in order to attract tourists and attract business.

Of course, in addition to the fireworks display and soliciting customers, there is also something that is implicit in providing a place for the young people of Ore Town to have a romantic date?

“！！”

"Ahh I know! ”

Suddenly, Kaye exclaimed, as he seemed to know why no one had informed Annie...... Because, the other party is just an eight-year-old girl, and she lives alone in the ranch south of the town, if you run to watch the fireworks at night, you will definitely go back very late, so it is obviously not very safe?

Of course, Kaye thinks that the most important thing is the issue of age......

"Know what?"

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

Anne was a little strange, and didn't know what the other party meant by being surprised.

"No!"

"Nothing ......"

"By the way, Annie, you came to me today, what do you want to eat?"

Obviously, Kaye didn't intend to explain to the other party that the other party might not understand and was not suitable to understand, so he directly diverted the topic and asked what the other party wanted.

"Hmm......"

（?~?）

"First give someone a pizza, a roasted corn, and then a big bowl of shaved ice, and remember to make corn and pizza from other people's ranches!"

(/^▽^)/

Although the things from her own ranch were sold cheaply to the other party, and it was not good for her to come here and buy them at a high price and eat them again, Anne didn't care too much, after all, who made her not make that kind of delicious food now? So, that's all there is to it.

"Okay!"

"No problem, but Annie, please wait at the table over there, don't interfere with me here, I'll get it for you soon!"
