The Pumpkin Festival on the 30th of Autumn in Ore Town is a child-friendly festival for all children, and of course, it is also a lively and exciting day for Anne.

Because, on that day, she could go to 'beg for food' from house to house like other children?

(*๓´ꌂ`๓)

Yes, it's 'begging', which is pretty much that......

Anyway, on that day, she was able to act like a normal Ore Town kid (even though there were only three kids in the whole Ore Town...... After kicking in the door and eating a lot of freshly made or unpalatable dim sum, autumn passed in the blink of an eye, and then came the last season of the year in Ore Town, the thirty-day winter.

For Anne, the arrival of winter in this world is as abrupt as other seasons, the first day was still autumn and crisp, but when it was just after 00:00 in the morning, it soon snowed in the sky outside, and then the north wind began to howl fiercely, and when she got up the next day, all she saw was the cold white world with ice and snow and thick snow?

Then, all the crops in her family's pasture that had not yet had time to be harvested, including pasture, were covered with snow......

And the semi-automatic hot spring irrigation system invented and designed by her and constructed by Uncle Gotz was also directly frozen into a lump of ice lumps, and the positions of the bamboo pipes that were originally dripping were all hung with crystal ice edges, which looked like ice crystal wickers, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight, and looked unusually beautiful and were amazed and sought after by the idle people of Ore Town in winter, as if they had been regarded as a wonder of Ore Town?

So, naturally, Annie's ranch became a place for the residents and children of Ore Town to frolic and play in the winter, and she was finally forced to wake up early every day and continue the spring routine with Karen, Lynn, Mary, Poebley, and Elle, which was the kind of thing that ran to the hot springs early in the morning and frolicked without shame.

Today, for example, is the tenth day after the beginning of winter, and on this morning, Anne had the rare first encounter with the five of Karen, Lynn, Mary, Ellie, and Perbury in the hot springs of Ore Town! So, after a burst of noise, she soaked in the misty hot spring where she couldn't see her face clearly a few meters away, just like them, enjoying a rare warmth in this cold world.

“……”

(`●__●ˊ)

Soaking in the hot springs in the middle of winter is a very comfortable thing, anyway, Anne thinks that compared to the places where people run to frolic on their own ranch every day, see the ice edges, build snowmen and have snowball fights, the hot springs are much more comfortable, warm and quiet, because few people are willing to brave the wind and snow to come to the back mountains to play, and not everyone is willing or free to soak in the hot springs in the early morning.

Although, Anne herself is not afraid of the cold, just as she is not afraid of fire, but if she could soak in the warm hot springs, she would definitely not go to the cold outside to jump in that kind of ice and snow world.

"Hey!"

"Little one, what are you doing these days? In the first few days of winter, we didn't see you go out...... And if you hadn't been waking up early with us and coming here for a few days, we wouldn't know how you've been doing! ”

After soaking for a while, when the faces of all the women began to blush from the warm hot springs, Karen suddenly stood up, completely ignoring the faintly exposed body of Miao Man in the mist, and walked directly to Anne's side and sat on the warm pebbles under the spring water, and let the spring water soak again on her smooth shoulders, and then asked curiously next to Anne's shoulder.

They already knew that because it had been sunny and almost every day people ran to play in Anne's ranch, and even from time to time someone knocked on her door to visit or drink a cup of hot tea, so she couldn't sleep well, so she had to get up early again and run to the hot springs to frolic with them, but other than that, they didn't know how this little guy spent the winter at home on weekdays.

"What else can I do, that's it~!"

(ˉ▽￣～)~~

"I wake up by the fireplace every day, and there's not much I can do other than add some firewood to the fireplace every now and then, and then watch that boring TV in the warm house, drink hot chocolate, and try to make myself something delicious......

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Spreading her hands, Anne said that the winter in this ore town was not fun at all, every day was to eat, sleep, sleep, and occasionally bully Tibbs, and there was really nothing else, she lived a happy life like a rotten house.

"Fortunately, there is Tibbs at home who can talk and cook some food, otherwise people would have to die of boredom!!"

(′～`●)

Yes, just play!

During this boring time, Anne learned some simple dishes based on the books that Mary gave her, such as rice balls, roast chicken, clay porridge, udon, moon-viewing meatballs, curry udon, chocolate udon, ordinary udon, mushroom rice, curry bread, toast, applesauce, apple roast, pickled radish, fruit juice, vegetable juice, curry rice, miso soup, etc., she was about to be forced to become a chef by the boring days!

So, lately, she's been thinking that if there's no fun or big festival in Ore Town in the winter, maybe she should leave this world and go to another world, and then return to this interesting, paradise-like Ore Town and her family's ranch when she has time or remembers?

Of course, it doesn't matter if there are any of these acquaintances when she comes back in the future, or if the ranch is still not her home.

But......

She hadn't finally made up her mind yet, so she hadn't talked to the young ladies in front of her who were having a good time for the time being, and she hadn't thought about when to say goodbye to them or let them know or anything.

“？？”

"That's the case, Annie, you're so happy, don't you have to work?"

Mary asked a little strangely, she couldn't imagine how easy the ranch could be in the hands of this little one.

"Ha~♡!"

"What does she do? Mary, you don't know, there is a group of slave-like dwarfs in her house, she is a wicked slave owner, and I don't know what she has done to them, to make them so honest and obedient, and to help the ranch on time at six o'clock in the morning, rain or shine, and then busy until five o'clock in the afternoon, not to mention how easy it is for her! ”

'That's it! ”

"I have to deliver to the store every day, and although it is easier to stop selling the seeds of the winter crops, I still have to sell some daily groceries, and sometimes I have to brave the heavy snow to deliver them door-to-door, which is really annoying......

"Humph! Karen, you're pretty good! ”

"Compared to her or you, I'm too busy! Winter is the busiest time of the bar, every day after soaking in the hot springs, I have to be called by my father Dart to entertain the guests who have been in the bar all day and wipe down the tables that are never clean, sometimes to help with the cooking, and at the end of the day, when I lie down in bed, I am so tired that I don't even want to move my fingers. ’

"So miserable?"

"Not really!"

“……”

"What about you, Ellie?"

"Me?"

"I'm okay...... In winter, except for the occasional cold, the hospital is quite idle, Dott is working on a new potion, and I don't seem to have much to do other than clean and serve tea and water every day. ”

"What about you, Mary?"

"I'm the same, it's warm when the doors are closed in the library, I read books and write about mine every day, and I've recently been writing an adventure about Tibbs' puppy back mountain, and I think it's going to be welcome."

"Tibbs? Are you writing about it?! ”

The girls first glanced at a certain puppy napping on the hot stones of the hot spring, and then they all looked at Mary with incredible eyes.

"Oh my God!"

"Forget it, Mary, you don't know, it's as lazy as its little master, and no one will like it!"

"That's right, Mary, you might as well write about me!"

"Haha......"

"Hey!"

"Perbley, you haven't told me about you yet!"

"Me? I'm pretty much like everyone else, and I'm pretty busy in winter......"

"Every day after going home from the hot springs, I have to feed the chickens with my brother, because as you all know, my mother is in very poor health and can't do any heavy work, and my father has not come back since he went out to find medicine for his mother, so I am really a little worried, if I leave Ore Town, what will my mother do, and my brother doesn't know if he is busy or not?"

"...... later"

"I'm probably only coming back in the summer, maybe that's why my brother doesn't like Kaye a little bit? He didn't want me to go to a city outside of the city, he was afraid that I would go out and never come back, just like my father......"

In this way, the few of them chatted about trivial matters while soaking in the hot springs, and when each of them had talked about some of his troubles, Perbly took a leisurely breath and lowered his head, apparently struggling with something that had made her feel very distressed for a while.

“！！”

"No, Perbley, you and Kaye have both developed to that extent? He proposed to you?! ”

"Ahh

"Tell us about it, Pebley?"

"Huh? Say it! ”

Hearing what Perbley said, Karen, Ellie, Lynn, and Mary, after all four looked at each other in shock, then they all gathered around the big-ass woman, and asked, apparently the gossip soul is burning?

“？？”

|˛˙꒳˙)？

Little Anne, who thought it was something interesting, saw a few people behaving like this, and she was also curious to swim directly towards those people in a dog-like swimming style.

（…… ）

_(´㉨`」∠)_

(Tibbs, who was brought to the hot springs by his own little master, was still lying limply on the pebbles on the edge of the warm hot springs, napping, not minding the smooth female humans, nor looking too much...... Because it knows, its Uncle Bear's self-control is not too strong, can it guarantee that it will suddenly pounce on it at some point, and then bite off a few pieces of white, tender and delicious meat from those hateful female humans, and eat them directly in the hot springs? ）

"Ahh ♡

"Don't make a fuss yet! I said, I said it can't be done? ”

"The ......"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I think Kaye is very good, so I'm ready to write back and agree to be his girlfriend! However, he said that he wanted to invite me to visit the big cities outside and to see his parents, but I haven't made a decision yet! ”

"But Karen, what about you? My brother Karen, who took a bottle of wine from my dad to ask you out last time, and then he came back late that day, you are about to become my sister-in-law, right? ”

"If you marry soon, I will be able to go with Kaye to see the outside world with confidence!"

Seeing that everyone seemed to have the intention of breaking the casserole to ask the end, in order to divert the firepower, the somewhat embarrassed Purbury hurriedly turned everyone's attention to Karen.

"Me?"

"I don't know...... Anyway, Perbley, your brother is too old-fashioned, and the amount of alcohol is too low, and I was drunk after two hits that night, so I'm thinking about it...... Anyway, it's still early, let's do it for the past two years~! ”

After thinking about it, Karen, who was sitting in the hot spring and holding her bulging chest with her white arms to avoid going away, hesitated for a while before boldly and coolly giving Perblly a piece of news that was neither bad nor bad.

Of course, it is possible that she has already recognized Rick, but because her tsundere attribute is playing tricks, she is still hesitating?

'What about you?' What's the progress on you and Cliff? ’

'Ahh ’

'What's going on?' Cliff has been wandering around, and seems to have run away from home, and he refuses to say anything about his own family, coupled with his low self-esteem, Dad has always been a little dislike of him, although he has not explicitly opposed it, but he has not supported it......

'Hey! ’

'That's a problem, Lynn, you should have listened to me before, and you should have let Cliff take over the ranch before Anne came to Ore Town, and if there was a farm, there might not be so much trouble. ’

I persuaded him, but you don't know his temperament, and he always says that he can't manage the ranch well, and he refuses to take over, so he only knows how to hide in the church......

'Forget it! ’

'Don't talk about him, Mary, what about you?' Gray also reads books every day...... Oh no, does he still visit you every day? ’

'You're mistaken, Gray really likes to read......

'Hey! Not necessarily, right? ’

We heard him say, what's that called...... Thinking about it, it seems that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is little Mary in the book? ’

‘？？ ’

'Mary, what are you doing with your head bowed, you say!' ’

‘……’

'Oops! Don't ask, Lynn, Mary is embarrassed! But Ellie, we all know that you have liked Doctor Dott for a long time, and you are so compatible, tired of working together every day, and have the same hobbies, hasn't he confessed to you yet? ’

'No ......'

‘！！ ’

Then you should take the initiative! ’

'I have! I've tried to find out, and I've hinted at him many times, but he's always treated me as a friend, what a dull stupid guy......

'Hee~♡'

'Ellie, you should listen to me, you should find an opportunity to get drunk with that wooden head, and then just do him directly!' ’

‘！！ ’

'Karen! Y-What nonsense are you talking about? See if I don't tear that stinky mouth of yours!! ’

'Ahh ♡

Soon, in the hot spring next to the never-freezing waterfall pool of the goddess of the mountain behind Ore Town, such a group of big girls laughed and laughed again.

“……”

(ー`´ー)

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

(￢д￢。 )

Looking at the few people who were chasing each other in the hot spring pool, although Anne didn't understand their words a little, she also vaguely knew that those things were not for a child like her to participate in, and she didn't want to participate, so ......

"The ......"

☆ﾐ(o*･ω･)ﾉ

"Sister Caren, Sister Ellie, Sister Lynn, Sister Mary, and Sister Perbley, people suddenly feel that it's almost time to leave Ore Town today! Perhaps, tomorrow people will leave~♡! ”

(๑ ̅ꇴ ̅๑)Hehe!

Speaking of which, Anne has been in this ore town for almost a year (the year here is 120 days), so she has basically eaten all the delicious things, and some of the things that are too troublesome to study and fiddle with by herself, it is obviously not much use for her to stay any longer, especially in the winter when it is particularly boring and there are no fun shows?

Although it was a little strange to watch the sunrise and Chinese New Year's Eve at the Chinese New Year's Eve gathering on the 30th of winter, it was not worth it for Anne to look forward to it too much and stay until the end of the year, so at this time, after watching these young ladies frolic and explain their messy troubles, Anne suddenly felt that it was time for her to leave.

“！！”

"What?!"

"Annie, you—you're leaving Ore Town too? Where are you going? ”

"Which wild man is going to hook up with you?"

"Phew! What nonsense are you talking about, how old is Anne? ”

“……”

"Hey! Anne, do you mean that you're going home? ”

“！！”

"But does Anne still have a home?"

"Yikes! Karen, why are you hitting me? ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense Perbley, of course Anne has a home, she wasn't from our ore town in the first place...... However, I thought Anne would stay with us forever, and as you can see, even though she is a little lazy, the ranch is still very well run......"

"I'm sorry, Annie, I was actually complimenting you, really!"

During the argument, seeing that a little girl soaking in the hot spring seemed to have a bad face, and felt that she had just said something wrong, Karen quickly stood up and planned to explain a little.

"Alright~!"

₍₍٩(＿＿*)₎₎

"Seriously, don't ask, people may really have to leave tomorrow anyway!"

(O^~^O)

"When the time comes, I'll write to Zach and ask him to give you all the money that can't be spent in people's accounts, there should be a lot left, right? (One or two million G is still available), which ranch may not be able to take care of it, and then you can call that Cliff to take over! ”

٩(ˊ▽ˋ*)و

"That's right!"

! (; ﾟoﾟ)o

Anne suddenly remembered something important.

"Pobley, when people were bored the other day, they accidentally made a strange thing, it seems to be called 'super grass' or something, anyway, it's still in the refrigerator, you can take it to Dr. Dott tomorrow, that thing should be helpful for your mother's illness!"

₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎

Anne is sure of that!

Because it wasn't made up by her cooking at all, but out of thin air according to the rules of the world and the illness of Pebley's mother, it must be very useful, provided that ...... That case when Dr. Dott wasn't a quack?

"In short, people are very happy during this time of playing with you~! Moreover, this seems to be the only place where people haven't encountered that kind of fighting, killing, and I really like you here! ”

(｡ •̀ᴗ-)✧

Come to think of it, Anne really didn't do anything in this world, at most she was just a little mischievous...... Of course, the dwarfs must not be counted anywhere, because Anne didn't fight them at all, she just accidentally detonated those flour suspended particles, and then scared the guys to surrender directly, how did she know that they were so spicy and cowardly?

‘！！ ’

'Anne, are you really leaving?' ’

'This ......'

'Oops! Don't be sad yet, isn't it normal for Anne to go back after coming to Ore Town for so long? Maybe her parents are already worried about her! ’

'That's what I said......

But it's so sudden, and it's even more frustrating than Perbley leaving Ore Town to elope with wild men! ’

‘！！ ’

'Karen, what are you talking about, I eloped with a wild man there?' ’

'Ahh I didn't say anything!! ’

You just say, stop! Don't run! ’

'Yah~♡'

‘……’

But Anne...... There are some things you have to talk to Mayor Thomas, but you can't just walk away! ’

That's right! ’

'Hey! Why don't we all take leave today, go to Annie's house and make a fuss all day, and then squeeze that big bed with her at night? ’

'Great idea! ’

'Hmmm! I'm for it! I can do it and cook a lot of delicious food for everyone, for our Annie, for this little guy to practice! ’

I'm for it too! ’

'I can go to Dick's house and buy a whole bunch of wine, and let's have a drink together!' ’

'Good! ’

'I'...... I can contribute my champion chicken, I know, Anne has been wanting to eat it for a long time, but I have to catch it secretly, and if my brother sees it, I will die! ’

'That .....'

'So I'm going to ask Dr. Dott for leave now?' There are no patients in the hospital today, so I think it should be fine. ’

'It's definitely no problem, don't worry, Ellie, Dott dares to help you beat him up if you don't promise me Kalian!' ’

'Huh? Don't ......'

'Alright, let's go!' Hurry up! ’

‘……’

Soon, after a while, maybe it's reluctant, maybe it's a little sad, or maybe it's some other reason? Anyway, after some discussion, Karen, Ellie, Lynn, and the others all started laughing, hugging a little girl who wanted to say something but couldn't interject at all to the edge of the hot spring, getting dressed, and then going to the big house on Annie's ranch to make a big fuss!

As for whether Anne really wants to leave tomorrow, they don't want to think about that kind of sad thing now, everything, so let's wait until tomorrow?

（…… ）

ε=( ́ᄌ'●)))) Alas

(Seeing the sleek female humans quickly dressed and huddled around the bothersome little master in the blue and white snow skirt of the house and rushed out of the hot spring cabin, the forgotten Tiebs sighed before slowly getting up from the warm rocks and began to open his little arms and legs, and chased after the six men in the distance...... ）
