??

When it was getting dark, when the crescent moon had already appeared on the horizon, and when Kay, the owner of the Sea House, had promised that there would be no charge for the purchase, a terrible little girl and her dog, Tibbs, who had eaten eighty percent of the time, pushed the door out of the seaside shop one after the other, and came to the beach of the ore town, where the crowd was gradually increasing.

"Uh-huh......"

( ̄~ ̄) Chew!

"Tibbs, people are suddenly much better...... You see, a lot of people are here, even Uncle Jeff and Uncle Dick and Aunt Dick are here, and Rick's little four-eyed is also over there...... Ha? I think he heard it! ”

(???? -)?

"But what about the fireworks? Is it because it's dark now, so they haven't started yet? ”

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

Anne ignored the four-eyed boy who was glaring at her, and just ate a special apple worth 500G that she had stolen from the merchant Hoan two hours earlier, while strolling around the beach with her own Tibbs.

"Hi~?!"

"Little Annie, you lazy fellow is here too? It's a rarity, I haven't seen you in a few days, and I thought you wouldn't be here today! ”

"What, did someone invite you to watch the fireworks?"

At this moment, Miss Karen, who was carrying a bottle of red liquid drink in her hand, suddenly greeted Anne, who was strolling down the beach without even taking off her shoes.

"Invite?"

∑(′△｀)？！

"No one invited......"

く(＾_?) ゝ

"Sister Karen, you're really weird, it's not okay for people to watch the fireworks by themselves, people can come by themselves, they can come if they want, why do you have to be invited?"

(*?′?`?)

Anne didn't care at all about Miss Kalian's statement, and just retorted!

"Really?"

"But I don't think anyone will remind you of this...... You don't know, Lin and I have planned to go to your house for supper and hot springs and sleep in the big bathroom of your house after the fireworks display, and by the way, laugh at you for missing today's show, and it's a shame to see you here now......"

In Karen's opinion, the fireworks festival is specially for those young people who are in love with each other to come to the beach to enhance their relationship, of course, there are some old people who have good feelings will also secretly come here to watch the fireworks, and ordinary children are rarely allowed to appear here on this night, and Anne, an eight-year-old girl, is of course no exception.

But now it's good, how can she not be surprised that this little guy who hadn't touched a figure for several days suddenly appeared?

“……”

(￢д￢。 )

"Hmph, people only heard about the two little brother Gray and little brother Kaye who were hiding in the shop and doing some strange things yesterday, and they only knew that there was a fireworks show here tonight, so they wouldn't miss it and be laughed at by you!"

? (?`^′?)?

These hateful fellows, knowing that there is something interesting here and not informing her, want to go to her house together to laugh at her and sleep in her big bed...... Wait, Anne decided, if they really dared to go, she would catch a small snake or loach or something and throw it in their bed or bath!

"Kaye and Gray?"

"Could it be those two of them who told you?"

Karin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look up, and soon saw two beautiful looks in the distance, but she didn't know why she didn't hurry to talk to her sisters, such as Perbley and Mary, on this important day, but there they were strange guys who were talking with their ears and shoulders......

“！！”

"Wouldn't it? Are they ......?"

If little Anne hadn't said that strange thing just now, Karen would definitely not want to be crooked, but now she looked at the two of them, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a cool breath rushing from her back to her head, and then she couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously took a step back.

“？？”

(⊙o⊙*)

"Hey! Sister Karen, what's wrong with you? ”

☆? (o*?ω?)?

"No ......"

"I'm nothing, Annie, you have to remember that Kaye and Gray are not good people, you better stay away from them in the future!!"

Karen stared hatefully at the two men in the distance as she said to Anne in a panic.

No wonder, no wonder she had just heard Mary and Perbley say that they didn't seem to invite them to watch the fireworks in the first place...... She really never thought of it? That's the kind of person they are!

“？？”

(^～^; )ゞ

"Why? Do people think they're good? And Brother Kaye makes good pizza, barbecue and shaved ice ......"

? (ˉ﹃ˉ?)

"No why! Anyway...... Belch? ”

"Ann, Annie, you have the kind of 'Super' apples, 'Hyper' apples, or 'Angel' apples that Hoan only sells once a month, right?"

"That's right, I've bought it a few times, and this fragrance must not be mistaken? You didn't even eat it until now?! ”

At this time, Karen noticed the apple in Anne's hand, and then asked directly in surprise.

In her opinion, it is unlikely that some little guy who can't move when he sees something delicious will keep this apple from the beginning of the month to the present, so she thinks it is a little strange.

"That's what you say?"

(?￣?? ￣??)?? °

"It was given to people for free by Uncle Huo An just before it gets dark!"

(???)?

"Sent?"

"Little guy, don't try to lie to me, Huo An's traitor is so kind?"

Although Karen herself had been given something for nothing by Huo An's ill-intentioned guy once, she also knew the character of that guy better than anyone else, that guy with a strong purpose, if it was the first time for her Kalen, Ellie, Lynn, or beautiful girls like Mary and Perbley, he would definitely give something away, they had already communicated and tried it, and they knew what kind of purpose the other party had.

And if it were replaced by Little Annie, a little girl who was just eight years old, it would obviously be without their kind of special 'tearful gift'!

"Hmm......"

（?~?）

"Under normal circumstances, it must not be sent, but today is a special day, maybe he sent it as soon as he was in a good mood!"

(???? -)?

Today is indeed a special day, but Anne is not in a good mood to guarantee whether the other party is in a good mood, and Anne didn't tell the truth just now, because she promised the other party that she couldn't tell anyone about it, unless she was willing to use the transformation technique to turn herself into a puppy?

"That's right!"

! (;?o?) o

"Miss Karen, what kind of drink is this bottle in your hand, can you give someone a sip?"

|? ˙?˙)？

Anne couldn't help but be a little curious when she saw the bottle that Karen was carrying in her hand, and the bright red liquid inside.

"People promise to take a small bite!!"

? Huh?

If it's something good to drink, Anne promises, she does just take a small sip, probably the kind that holds her breath and then gulls, and never takes any more sip!

"No way!"

"Because this is wine, an old wine I just bought from Uncle Dick's house, and you can't drink it from a child! Anyway, you won't understand, summer nights are to drink and watch fireworks at the same time, and that's the most enjoyable thing! ”

"Hah! Okay, little one, you play your own go first! ”

At this time, Karen seemed to see that Rick in the distance was sneakily looking towards her, and when she saw little Anne talking to her, she could only hesitate and squirm in the distance, why didn't she dare to lean over?

So, after thinking about it, after refusing the unreasonable request of a certain little guy to drink, she directly opened her mouth and planned to blow the other party away to save her eyes? Anyway, it doesn't matter when it happens, tonight is a special day, and as the most popular girl in Ore Town, she definitely doesn't want to be occupied by a little guy in her private time. And if anything, can they wait for the fireworks show to end, and then they will form a group to go to the big house of the other ranch, where they can continue to frolic together for an evening?

“……”

（????? ）

"Isn't it just wine, what's the big deal?!"

? (?`^′?)?

Hearing that it was wine, and that the other party was still driving her away, Anne turned around in hatred and walked towards the south side of the beach.

Soon, she ran into Perbley and Mary, who were sitting on the beach and whispering some kind of whisper.

'I'm looking forward to it......'

'Mary, how do you think fireworks are made?' ’

I've read about this in a book, and it's said that it was made based on the principle that gunpowder explodes and different metals or metal salts produce different colors when they burn. ’

'It's amazing, I'm looking forward to it...... It's not too early, so why hasn't it started yet? ’

"It's still early, it's not yet 19 o'clock, it's not completely dark, and you can't see its most beautiful appearance when you set off fireworks......

'Yes! But I'm really looking forward to it! ’

Actually, Perbley...... No matter how beautiful the fireworks are, they only bloom for a moment, and every time I see them, I don't know why I'm always a little sad......

'Mary, you'd better read less of the sensational books, and think about how you're going to watch the fireworks with Gray tonight!' ’

'Gray? I'm afraid it won't work......'

'What's wrong?' ’

'Didn't you notice?' Gray didn't seem to have any presents for tonight, and neither did Kaye...... He's been staying there with Kaye, and if you look at them, they haven't changed their clothes, so they look like they want to invite the girls to watch the fireworks together? ’

'What?! ’

'Wait, Pebley, they don't really mean to invite us......

'How so? ’

'Yes!' ’

‘……’

"It's really ......"

(lll￢▽￢)

Originally, Anne wanted to say hello to Pobley and Miss Mary, but after hearing them whispering, and discussing the matter of men like Gray and Kaye, she felt bored and walked straight to the side.

'Hey~?! ’

'Little Annie! Would you like to come and watch the fireworks with us? I like to watch fireworks the most, and my mood becomes comfortable with a 'bang', and the tiredness dissipates in an instant~! ’

In the distance, Sister Lynn was standing on a blanket by the sea, waving vigorously at Anne, while behind her stood some wandering church fellow, the same Cliff.

"Forget it......"

?? (?? ￣?￣)????

Anne sensed it, and the guy behind Sister Lynn didn't seem to welcome her over and was faintly hostile? So, she didn't plan to attract people, so she continued to walk directly to the south of the beach.

'Annie! This way! ’

'I'm coming with Dr. Dott to see the fireworks, do you need to come along?' ’

As soon as she walked around for a while, Anne ran into Miss Ellie and Dot, the only doctor in Ore Town in the other hospital, who were still wearing nurse uniforms and white coats, and must have just come out of the hospital.

"Don't!!"

o(′^')o hum!

Although the Doctor Dott was not hostile to him, and seemed to welcome himself over, he ...... Anne knew that Miss Ellie, who invited herself, didn't really invite her at all, that guy just shouted casually, if she really dared to go over, she must have been hated by that duplicitous cunning guy, right?

So, she had to continue to take her little milk dog Tiebs to the southernmost part of the beach, ready to find a place where no one was there to watch the fireworks with her Tibbers.

（…… ）

ε=(′?'●)))) Alas

(Tibbs didn't know why his bad little master had come to such a fireworks show for those female and male humans to courtship and hook up with each other, but, seeing that the other party was still in high spirits, he didn't say much, so he could only continue to follow the other party so honestly to the south.) ）

???

The night was getting dark, and when the dim lights on the beach came on, the fireworks show held by Ore Town on the waterfront on the night of the 24th of summer this year began, and the fireworks were hit by a ship in the distance, and burst into bursts of brilliant fireworks.

Sou~! Sou~!

Rumble!!

Rumble!!!

At the same time, some drunkards who don't want to drink finally take advantage of the explosion to start their actions......

'Karen ......'

'This is my gift for you, Champion Hot Spring Egg, can you try it?' ’

'Huh? Is it an egg? ’

'What, don't you like it?' ’

'No, I just think it's a little weird to go with red wine with eggs......

'So I'm going to change to another one now?' ’

'Forget it, hot spring eggs are hot spring eggs! ’

Next to the pier, Xiao Siyan took out his gift and handed it to Ka Lian, and watched the other party open the beautiful gift box that he had spent a hundred G on to go to the grocery store.

‘！！ ’

'Ah~!! ’

However, what Rick couldn't have imagined was that when Karen opened the gift box, what she saw was not a hot spring egg, but a disgusting mess of gooey worms tangled together? Then, frightened, she threw it directly on Rick's head before escaping.

'This is ......'

'Sand, sandworm?! ’

After a moment of froze, Rick grabbed one from the bridge of his nose and looked at them closer.

Sandworms are also known as bare starworms, also known as sand intestines, checkered starworms, etc. It lives in the sea area along the beach with a sandy and muddy bottom, burrows out at high tide, and lurks in the sand and mud holes at low tide, hence the name sandworm. The larvae or adults of the sandworm are not segmented, but the muscles are relatively developed, and they usually live by swallowing sand grains, etc., and the body structure is simple.

In normal times, Rick also comes to the beach to dig sandworms, one is to take them back to eat at home, and the other is to feed chickens or something, but packing a large cloud of disgusting sandworms on such a romantic night, and letting the girl who was full of expectations catch it with one hand, that is definitely not something he can do.

It's just that Rick, whose head and face are covered with the kind of live sandworms that are still a little writhing, can't figure out how the good hot spring champion eggs suddenly turned into a bunch of sandworms? Could it be that Jeff, the grocery store owner, packed the wrong one and handed him someone else's gift by mistake?

And at this time, the same thing is happening on this beach......

For example: A set meal that Lynn carefully prepared for Cliff turned into a pot of sand when she opened the lunch box? And the piece of white chocolate that Elle had the courage to give to Dr. Dott unexpectedly appeared after opening the package, and then it was so immortal that its terrifying claws clamped Dr. Dort's nose at once, and it hurt so much that he jumped to his feet?

'No!! ’

'Why is my game cartridge missing?' Gray, that's what you're saying it's already hidden?! ’

'I don't know, it was still in when I just put it in......

'And now?' ’

'I don't know! It's true! ’

At this time, two good friends in the distance, Gray and Kaye, who were preparing to play games all night and didn't plan to watch the fireworks with girls, also wailed and exclaimed.

Soon, more accidents or mischiefs were discovered and the otherwise harmonious sandy beach of Ore Town became chaotic, and no one had the heart to look at the fireworks that were constantly shooting into the sky.

"Uh-huh-hmm-hmm......"

( ̄~ ̄) Chew!

"Hah! Tibbs, Sister Lin's set meal is delicious, and the champion hot spring eggs at Little Four-Eyed Brother's house are also very good! ”

(?????)?

"And! Miss Ellie's white chocolate is also very good, would you like to try it? ”

(*^-^)ρ(^?^； )

Sitting on the southernmost side of the beach, Anne didn't care about the chaos of other people's houses in the north, just secretly feasting on her place and watching the most beautiful fireworks bloom in the sky, while completely ignoring the fact that the dog couldn't eat chocolate, and planned to stuff the leftover half of the white chocolate into the mouth of her own Tiebs's dog?

'Hey! ’

'Karen! Listen to me, Karen? ’

'I don't listen! You go away, I don't want to see you!! ’

'Karen? I was wronged......

'No! You're not! ’

'Woo...... Karen......'

'Humph! ’

‘……’

‘？？ ’

'Who's ahead, Anne?' ’

‘！！ ’

'Wait, you're eating eggs, and so many eggshells?!' ’

'Ahh Kalian, you see, that's the hot spring egg I was going to give you, there are four of them, and I painted them all in the shape of a heart!! ’

'Hey! Karen, and Rick, what are you...... Yes! Isn't that the white chocolate I made for Dr. Dort?! ’

And my well-prepared set menu!!' ’

‘！！ ’

'Kaye! You see, our game cartridge was thrown into the sea by her!! ’

'What?! ’

I don't know how long the confusion lasted, but finally, when I don't know who came to the south first, the things that some bad little guy had done were finally revealed at once.

"Ah......h

=???? ('ヮ'三'ヮ'=????)

"The ......"

! (;?o?) o

"Why don't you listen to someone explain it first?"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

This situation was indeed somewhat unexpected by Anne, because the night was so dark that she hid in the southernmost part of the beach, and she thought that no one would find out until the end of the fireworks show, but how could she think that under the pride, she accidentally bumped into and caught her?

（…… ）

~(′??? `)~

(Tiebs dares to use those fireworks in the sky to assure that it really didn't mean not to warn, if so, then let them explode and burn it, anyway, it's not afraid to burn!!) ）

‘！！ ’

'Annie! ’

'Aren't you supposed to explain?' ’

'It's so damning! Dr. Dort's nose is bleeding!! ’

'Little ......'

However, Anne's words did not work at all, and those who were originally angry or sad did not have the intention of listening to her explanation at all, and directly surrounded them with unkind faces.

"Alright then......"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Goodbye guys~!!"

-=???? =????? (?)?

Seeing that the odds were not good, and that the fellows did not look like they were willing to listen to their explanations and were silently gathered around, Anne did not care about anything else, jumped up from the beach blanket, and then turned around and ran north!

‘！！ ’

'Catch her!' Mary, she wants to go over there! ’

'Stop! ’

'Damn imp!!!' ’

'Quick! Perbley! Gray! Go and block the steps of the beach, and don't let her run through the intersection! ’

'Karen! You and Rick go over there! ’

'Chase! ’

'Everyone hit her with sand!!' ’

‘！！ ’

'Dare to run?' Everyone, chase it! Catch her and throw her overboard? ’

'No! Or bury her in the sand for one night and come back tomorrow to dig her!! ’

'Great idea! ’

'Chase after it, we'll talk about it later!' ’

'Stop, little one......

'Don't run! ’

Soon, after knowing the reason for the incident, more than a dozen men and women who had been disturbed by the great good thing once a year by a certain hateful little guy with a prank were so angry that they were chasing and intercepting a certain hateful little girl on the beach, and making this beach, which was originally only the sound of fireworks explosions, become a rare lively and noisy one.

"Wow!!"

?°(°ˉ?? ˉ?°)°?

"Isn't it just to eat a little bit of your food, and I want to bury people in the sand......"

-=???? =????? (′Д`)?

Obviously, little Anne would not have listened to them and stood still, but just rushed to the north with all her might.
