?

It was already dawn, and the morning sun was shining through the window, illuminating Anne's house and the large bed she was curled up in.

'Wang~! ’

'Wang! Woof~!! ’

?????? :Woof!

“……”

（?_?）

It wasn't long before little Anne was awakened by the noise outside the house.

Because, she seems to have heard some kind of movement outside the door early in the morning, and then followed by the sound of her disobedient bear (pronounced gǒu) Tibbs barking outside the door, if it wasn't for its itchy skin begging, it was probably something going on outside or someone came to her ranch to play in the early morning?

Of course, it's also possible that some nasty young ladies came to visit the house and wanted her to go to the hot springs together early in the morning or something.

"Really, yesterday I helped Uncle Dick and his family collect the last batch of grapes, but they actually disliked that people ate too much and didn't pay for their ......wages."

? (?′0`?)? Ahhh~!

"It's so annoying, I should have eaten more if I knew I could!"

(っ?-?)

Anne remembered the fact that yesterday she had taken a group of dwarfs to help with the vineyard of the Dickschu family (overseer) and was deducted from her wages...... Although she really didn't do it at the time, she kept watching from the sidelines, and it may have been eating a little too much (there are about a dozen skewers of them?). But Anne was sure that the dwarfs had been working very hard and had done their work very early, so that their failure to pay them in the end was very wrong, very immoral and condemned by her!

'Wang! Woof~! ’

?????? :Woof!

"Damn!!"

（????? ）

The barking of dogs continued to come from the window, which made little Anne, who wanted to sit on the bed and be confused for a while, or simply lie back and go back to sleep, suddenly became angry, and jumped out of bed in her pajamas, intending to trouble some hateful stupid dog.

"Tibbs, you want to die......"

? (ψ｀╭╮′)o

"Huh?"

!？ (?''??)?

"Are you...... You look like the granddaughter of that old man Muki's family, that May?! ”

∑(￣□￣*|||

As soon as she opened the door with a hard force, Anne was surprised to find that there was a little girl standing outside the door at this time, who was a little shorter than herself, and the other party blinked with a pair of big black eyes, looking at her pitifully, as if something important?

And her stupid dog squatted beside the other party, wagging its tail back and forth, as if the other party was its owner?

（…… ）

(●￣(?) ￣●)

"Okay......"

=???? ('ヮ'=????)

Knowing that a stupid dog didn't seem to be barking, Anne stopped trying to beat the other person, and turned to the little girl Mei standing outside her house with some curiosity:

"Mei ...... Is there anything important that you came here so early? If you want to find Sister Anne to help your family, don't do it, because they will definitely refuse you! ”

(?￣?? ￣??)?? °

"If your grandfather broke his arm or leg again, you can go to Sister Elle or Dr. Dot, you must have come to the wrong place here!!"

(′～`●)

After a daily routine of 'part-time' at Uncle Dick's house, Anne no longer wanted to help others, anyway, she didn't go to take care of animals or harvest crops, and said she wouldn't go! Regarding this, she felt that it was necessary to explain to the other party in advance, will the other party cry or something later? Because she's very busy herself, she really doesn't have time to do anything else.

"Huh?"

"Miss Annie? My grandfather is very good...... And my grandfather can do the farm work on my farm in half a day? I don't think I need to ask you for help......"

Although she didn't know why the little sister Anne in front of her suddenly said that kind of thing to her, Mei still blinked and replied a little inexplicably.

"That's it......"

(￢д￢。 )

"So what are you doing here today? You can't just play with Tibbs, right? Plums? Do they want to warn you? Do you have to be careful with that dog? It's bad, don't let it fool you, maybe it's going to eat you! ”

o(*｀ー′)o

Anne was obviously still very unhappy with her Tiebs barking at her to get out of bed for an outsider, for the sake of a little girl, so she pointed to her dog's nose hatefully and admonished May, who was stunned by her.

After all, she's not talking nonsense? If it weren't for her, the omnipotent Queen Anne? Karen, Lynn, Mary, Ellie, and Perbley, presumably? In addition, the well-behaved and weak Mei in front of her didn't know when she was eaten alive by it!

（…… ）

?? (?? ￣?￣)????

(Yet?) Tibbs said in his heart: It actually didn't want to eat the cute little girl named Mei in front of him, because the other party often came to the ranch to watch it and play with it? And I often bring that kind of delicious cheese or other beef and mutton jerky, so huh? What is the difference between a 'full meal' and a 'full meal'? Its head, which was often laughed at by an unscrupulous owner because it had never learned magic, could still be easily distinguished.

Of course, eating or not eating that kind of thing is limited to the little girl Mei in front of her, and once it is replaced by other stupid female humans, then it can't be guaranteed. ）

"It's definitely going to be played, but Sister Annie, there's something more important going on today~?!"

Looking at the small milk dog squatting beside him, Mei first touched its head, and then showed a big smile and continued:

"It's the Pumpkin Festival!"

"Sister Annie, the pumpkin festival must give the children delicious cookies or desserts, so, please, please hurry up and bring me those delicious things?!"

"This is a tradition in Ore Town~?"

After saying that, Mei unceremoniously stretched out her hand to Anne, and then motioned for the other party to quickly take out the delicious biscuits or desserts.

“！！”

! (;?o?) o

"Is there such a festival?"

o(?Д?) o

Anne said it was a little incredulous, because she didn't seem to have any impression at all, and no one had ever told her about it.

"Absolutely!"

"Today is the last day of autumn, and the 30th of autumn is the pumpkin festival every year, Sister Annie, you can't be fooled, hurry up and get me cookies!"

Mei thought that the young lady Anne in front of her wanted to hide the delicious food and not give it to herself, so she was so aggrieved that she bit her lip directly, and she was about to cry out with a 'wow'.

“……”

(°ー°〃)

"That...... You wait first, I'll go get it!! ”

\(“▔□▔)/

Boom!!

After saying that, Anne turned back and closed the door with a bang, and then instantly changed into her red dress with magic, and walked quickly to the wall calendar, and then she saw that the date of the '30th' was drawn with a red circle and noted:

On the 30th of autumn, the "Pumpkin Festival"?

"Okay......"

ε=(′ο'*)))) Alas

Gala~!

Soon, Anne forced a smile on her face to open the door, walked up to the expectant May, glanced at a certain puppy lying next to her, and then reached into her pocket and took out two large pieces of chocolate.

"There are no cookies or desserts, but there are two large pieces of chocolate, do you want them?"

ヽ(⌒ω⌒)???

Anne squinted, shoved the two plates of chocolate, the kind bought at the grocery store, and could be eaten as is, or used to make cookies, desserts, or cooking, into the little girl's hand, and squinted triumphantly at a stupid dog.

Dogs can't eat chocolate, so Anne is not willing to let that Mei feed it with chocolate later, and see if she dares to bring outsiders to disturb her to sleep in the future?

"Uh-huh!!"

"Of course chocolate is also available, thank you Sister Anne! Goodbye! ”

Chocolate can be taken away and eaten slowly, and it is easy to preserve, if it is another dessert, then it must be eaten on the spot, and the difference, Mei can still easily distinguish, so after she took the two large pieces of chocolate, she trotted away happily, ready to go to the next autumn breeze.

After all, although Ore Town is very small, there are many families, as long as she goes shopping one by one, the snacks for many days in the future will be settled.

“……”

(^～^; )ゞ

There is such a festival...... But fortunately, Anne thinks that it is not bad to be able to get rid of it with just two pieces of chocolate, and if it were her, how could she leave without a good meal?

'Sister Anne! Sister Annie! ’

'Whew! Call! ’

'Today...... Today is the Pumpkin Festival~?! ’

At this moment, without waiting for Anne to turn back, another little boy ran in out of the gate of the ranch, panting, and ran to Anne unceremoniously and stretched out his hands.

Obviously, the person who came was another little boy from Ore Town, that is, the younger brother of the Ellie family, that bear child You!

“……”

(?? ˇ?ˇ??)

There was no way, seeing that the other party went straight to the point without even explaining, Anne opened her mouth, and finally didn't say anything, and directly took out two large plates of chocolates from her pocket again and handed them to the other party.

“！！”

"It's exactly what Mei said, thank you, Sister Anne!"

After saying that, a little broken child who had been prepared for a long time turned around excitedly and left.

Obviously, he must have met the little girl Mei who had just left outside, and seemed to know what Anne would give him, so he couldn't wait to run, even to the point of panting?

"The kids in Ore Town seem to be the only two......

?? (?? ￣?￣)????

After thinking about it, when Anne thought that there didn't seem to be any younger children in Ore Town besides Yuu and May, and thought that no one should come to the ranch to ask for cookies for the pumpkin festival, and was about to turn back, suddenly, a familiar voice called out to her.

"Stop!!"

"Haha! Annie, today is the Pumpkin Festival, and it's really unfair that only the little Ha dwarf can eat delicious things, so Pobli also came to you to ask for cookies~?! ”

"And ah, can't it be something like chocolate that fools children~?"

That's right, the guy who shouted at Anne and shamelessly ran to the door of Anne's house to beg for dessert was the bad woman from the chicken farm next door to Anne's house - Pobley!

“！！”

Σ(°△°|||) ︴

"Perbley? Mei and Yu are children, so they can ask for things, but you are ......"

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

However, Anne ignored the other party's request, but raised her head a little puzzled and asked this shameless guy, who was taller than herself and dared to come to ask for something to eat.

"Because Pobli is a big kid, he also needs candy or snacks?!"

"Please hurry up and take it out~!"

"Yes. It can't be something like chocolate that fools children, it has to be the kind you make yourself to be sincere, and it has to be faster, otherwise people won't leave today. ”

After winking playfully at Anne, Pobley stood still in front of the door with his hands folded, signaling that some dull little girl could now come in and make dessert for her.

“……”

━(?Δ?∥)━ン

How can this be......

Thinking that this was also the tradition of the Pumpkin Festival in Ore Town, Anne finally had to turn around and go back to the house after some struggle, and then after some tinkering, she took out a pot of grilled meatballs and skewers.

That's the moon-viewing meatballs, which Miss Mary taught her, just use the meatball powder bought from the grocery store with sugar and water and a little wheat flour and stir well, then knead them into a ball and bake them in the oven for ten minutes, and you can also add some of your favorite things on it, such as honey or other things, anyway, it's very simple.

"Wow!!"

"It's Moon Viewing Pills, thank you!"

"Huh? Odd...... Annie, you seem to have added something else besides honey...... Is this a mushroom? Wrong! This is...... Is this matsutake mushroom? But, Anne...... How do you have so many matsutake mushrooms and put so many slices?! ”

As he ate, Perbley was shocked by the little girl's arrogance and generosity!

Because she found that the moon-viewing balls she was eating had a full amount of matsutake shreds mixed on it, which made her taste only feel that it had a unique rich fragrance, and that unique taste and texture, she would definitely not be mistaken.

"Because, there are still a lot of them in the refrigerator......"

o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o

"But actually, Perbley, you probably don't know yet, do you? The church of Father Carter's house, the wooden door next to the piano in the church that leads to the backyard of the church...... There is a clearing in the backyard near the lake, where there are lots and lots of mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms. Every day, people can pick several matsutake mushrooms there, and Carter thought they didn't know! ”

(???? -)?

Rarely, for the first time, Anne told outsiders the secret of the Father Carter she had accidentally discovered, and told her about the abundance of matsutake mushrooms.

Now that autumn is over, she has picked a lot, plus she has gotten a lot of horses in the previous autumn races, so those things are no longer rare now, which is why she just made moon-viewing balls and can add expensive matsutake mushrooms to them inhumanely.

“！！”

"Are there really so many in the back of the church?"

Perbly was shocked, and seemed a little incredulous for a moment?

"There's so much spicy there!"

(???)?

"Then Annie, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

At the thought that he might have missed out on countless delicious matsutake mushrooms, Pobuli suddenly felt that the moon-viewing balls he was chewing in his mouth were not very fragrant.

"But you didn't ask......"

╮（╯＿╰）╭

"Damn!"

"It's the 30th of autumn today, and I don't know if there's anything else to pick now, and people think you used the medal of the autumn horse race a few days ago to get the matsutake from Mayor Thomas!"

Perbly was amused when he remembered the blackface of Mayor Thomas when he was surrounded by a crowd of people who were exchanging medals for all sorts of valuables during the fall horse races the other day.

Because, under Annie's 'leading by example', many people in Ore Town have learned badly, such as Uncle Dart and Uncle Dick? Like Anne, they bought out all the players, and also bought 99 of them, and after three games, they earned the same medal as a certain little girl, and it is said that they also made a lot of money because of it?

It's a pity that Perbley didn't have the financial means to do that, she just got a nice dress, and Mayor Thomas is said to have decided to reform the rules of horse racing next spring in order to put an end to some opportunistic guys?

But that didn't matter now, because Pobli was clearly more concerned about the matsutake mushroom production area behind the church!

"A few days ago?"

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

"A few days ago, people mainly changed the delicious power fruit, although the matsutake mushroom has also changed a little bit, but there is enough for people to eat?"

o(′^｀)o

"I'm afraid it won't work today, it's the thirtieth ......"

"It seems that we can only wait for next year......"

Perbley sighed plaintively, not caring what Anne had just said.

"Next year, of course!"

(?????)???

"But you'd better take the path through the dwarf woods, because that cunning priest Carter won't open that wooden door for you, and he just wants to take those mushrooms to himself, even though they didn't grow them at home!"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

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

"Anne, I've written this down now, next year...... If I'm still here in Ore Town next year, I promise I'll pick it! ”

The thought of a cunning priest who had secretly owned the mushroom harvest for many years, and had deceived them for so long, made Perbley's heart tickle a little.

"Still next year?"

く(＾_?) ゝ

"Sister Perbley, why do you say that?"

∠(′д｀)

Anne didn't understand why the other party said that, because in her opinion, Pebley and the others must have been living here in Ore Town, and they couldn't pick it up this year and go back next year, so why should they say 'if'?

"Oops!"

"Anyway...... Anyway, it's something about adults, don't ask too much about your children! ”

Perbley's face suddenly turned red, as if he was a little angry and unwilling to tell Anne the truth.

"You're an adult?"

! (;?o?) o

"But, you guy just said that he was a big kid, and he had to come to ask for desserts!!"

(￢д￢。 )

Anne remembers that when the other party just begged for something, he said that he was a big child, but now after eating, he dares to turn his face and say that he is an adult, which is so cunning!

"Huh?"

"The ......"

"I was really a big kid before I ate dessert, but now of course I'm an adult after eating?!"

Perbly began to ramble, seemingly reluctant to explain to Anne what she had just said.

"You!!"

(?? ˇεˇ??)

"Okay, little guy, don't be too stingy, you eat it anyway, and you can't spit it out, so that's it, goodbye, I'm going back!"

"Big deal...... Another day, people will invite you to eat eggs~? ”

Biting her finger, Perbley offered a compromise offer, and it was the only one she could handle, after all, she wasn't as aggressive as a little fellow.

"I eat eggs every day, I'm tired of it, and there are eggs in other people's pastures!"

(￢д￢。 )

"Ahh That's right! ”

"Then don't send it yet, people can just save a little, take it to Zack to ship, and find a way to save more private money as soon as possible?"

Nodding, Perbley said that since Anne's ranch also had chicks and eggs, it was really not a good idea for her to invite them to eat that kind of hot spring eggs.

"Pobley, people suddenly want to eat champion chicken ......"

o(╥﹏╥)o

Eggs or something, Anne said that she was really tired of eating crooked, and when her house was renovated and expanded, she didn't eat less when she went to the hot springs every morning! However, if it was a champion chicken, she would definitely not dislike it, after all, she really missed that taste, and she hadn't tasted it again for a long time.

It just so happens that now the champion chickens of the Pebley family have been raised for a while, and if the other party is willing, even if she spends money to buy it, even if it is ten times, she is very happy!

"Haha!!"

"The weather is really good today, goodbye Annie, I'll go back first, the weather is starting to get cold, it seems to start snowing tomorrow for the winter, you must remember to prepare feed and forage for your chickens and cattle and sheep for the winter~?!。"

"If there is no income from the ranch at that time, you can also go mining, anyway, you have a lot of strength, but ......"

"Forget it! You're so rich and so lazy, you definitely won't go mining, or won't you tell you those things, right? ”

After reminding the other party of these words, Perbley turned away satisfied, because she had come to remind the other party to pay attention to the matter of the cattle overwintering, and it was only incidental to eat and drink.

As for mining or something, she didn't expect much from the other party, because now there are not many people in Ore Town who are willing to mine...... Not only is it unsafe, but it's also hard and tiring...... Think about the fact that almost every family in their ore town is not there, and think about the fact that many people's parents are not there, such as Yu and Mei...... Perbly suddenly became a little depressed and sighed leisurely.

Mayor Thomas said that at the beginning, their ore town was said to have developed by mining, but at the same time, because of mining, the entire ore town was almost destroyed, and many families were torn apart...... After all, mining and trading are too dangerous, and mining disasters are even more common, once a person falls into the pit, it is likely that there will be no one found! Perhaps, that's why the caves in their ore town are gradually abandoned, and only the old man Sebala of the forge occasionally digs a little as a material?

“……”

(ー`′ー)

"Don't you prepare!"

s(?｀ヘ′?; )ゞ

"From tomorrow, people will eat chickens, cows and sheep every day, and they will eat them for the winter in winter, so they will not prepare any fodder and forage!"

o(′^')o hum!

Anne decided that when she had eaten them up, winter would be over, and if she couldn't finish it, she would sell it, which should be just right.

（！！ ）

(*^?^*)

(Hearing the words of his little master, Tibbs suddenly became energetic, and said happily that her little master's idea was very good, and he was deeply satisfied...... So it decided that it would later convey the thoughts of the superior to the dwarfs who were working down there, and they should know what to do. ）

"Wait......"

\(“▔□▔)/

"Since it's a pumpkin festival today, those children can come to the ranch to find food, even the fake boy from Perbley...... Why can't people go to other people's houses to find food? Moreover, they are really a real child!! ”

~(′?︵?`)~

"That's right, that's it!!"

(?￣?? ￣??)?? °

"Tibbs, hurry up and follow, people will take you to discount the autumn breeze on the last day, eat and drink for nothing!!"

ヾ(⌒?⌒*)~haha?

After saying that, Anne quickly closed the door of her house, and then beckoned a certain stupid dog to run into the town with a roar, she planned to follow the example of others, scholar You, Mei and the same as the Pobli just now, to go to the autumn wind to find something delicious!

And ah, you don't need to give money at all, and you don't have to worry about the other party daring to refuse!!

"Let's go! Tibbs, let's learn from those little ones now, and eat those big ones! If you don't give you good food, you won't leave! ”

Hahaha?? (??? *)

（…… ）
