Time flies, summer turns to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, the short, hot summer of only thirty days in the world of Ore Town has passed, and in its place is the last season of the year when autumn is crisp and ready to be planted with some of the kind of autumn crops that can ripen quickly.

Autumn is a harvest and busy season, and the inhabitants of Ore Town, whether they are growing grapes or something else, chicken farms or madrigals, need to prepare for winter before it comes, or all outdoor production will have to stop when winter comes, once the snow falls.

But......

Busyness is relative, and compared to the rest of the people in Ore Town, some bad little girl, some small rancher who is accustomed to oppressing 'slaves', certainly does not need to worry about cattle, sheep and chickens, or planting autumn crops and preparing for winter.

This is not?

On this crisp autumn day, while the dwarfs were busy harvesting and harvesting the pastures, Anne finally took the foal from the stable, which had been fattened and fat, and began to ride it around the vast field of at least several football fields in her own pasture.

"Hey!"

ꉂ(๑✪ꇴ✪)

"Tibbs, if you don't run a few laps with you, you'll be as chubby as this clumsy foal~!"

ꉂ(｡ •̀ᴗ-)✧

I don't know how many laps I had, but when the fat foal, who was finally able to come out again, was panting and trampling on the grass of the pasture, Anne shouted at a certain bear (pronounced gǒu) Tibbs, who was lazily napping in the shade under the apple tree.

Because Anne has noticed that Tibbs's lazy guy has been getting lazier and lazier lately, and that his little life is sometimes more nourishing than hers? So, if you feel that you are in a good mood today and the weather is good, it is necessary to take some time to knock on each other?

（…… ）

_(´㉨`」∠)_

(Tibbs, however, paid no heed to his wretched little master, and continued to lie in the shade of the apple tree, only to raise his drooping eyelids and wagging his tail when the ground shook as he rode his horse past and caused the ground to tremble.) After all, Tibbs knows that it is not a dog in the true sense of the word, it is a shadow creature, it was transformed into a dog by some bad little master, so not only will it not grow up, but it will also not get fat because it eats too much or is too lazy or something, it doesn't need to worry about that kind of thing at all! ）

Got it~Got it~

（…… ）

_(:㉨」∠)_

(The cicadas in autumn still croaked in the trees, making the dogs sleepy...... But Tibbs knew that they wouldn't be able to stumble for more than a few days, so he didn't bother to bother with them, but just changed to a more comfortable position on the ground, intending to continue walking for a while. ）

（！！ ）

∑(´㉨｀)？！

（…… ）

_('㉨'_)⌒)_

(Momentlessly, Tibbs, as if hearing something, lifted his dog's head with his body propped up, and looked in the direction of the ranch gate with that very human expression, and when he saw that the female human companions who seemed to be the wretched little master of his house were visiting, he drooped his ears and fell back on his stomach.) ）

'Strange ......'

'Anne doesn't seem to be in the house, I don't see anyone inside, where did she go?' ’

'Will it be in the fields?' You see, her crops are growing so well, and with the semi-automatic watering system and the dwarfs taking care of them, I heard that there was already a good harvest two days ago! ’

The dwarfs must be in the fields, but not necessarily when Anne the little one is away! ’

'Forget it! Let's find someone to ask......

'Looking for whom?' The elves? But you see, they're busy working in the fields, and they don't seem to have time to pay attention to us yet. ’

'Not looking for them, of course, but it! ’

Lynn, Perbley, and Kalen, the three notoriously well-fed and no-nonsense fellows in Ore Town, came to Annie's ranch again in a group, and after a few words, led by Kalian, went to a certain apple tree, and then asked a certain puppy who was sleeping lazily under the tree:

"Hello, Tibbs!"

"Where's your little master? We just heard from Officer Harris that she seems to have been playing in the ranch today, why don't we seem to see her? ”

As they approached, Karen crouched down and whispered to a certain clever little dog that they liked.

（…… ）

_(´㉨`」∠)_

(Tibbs, however, paid no attention to her, and continued to lie on the ground, just comfortably closing his eyes, and not doing anything at all!) After all, it knew, even if it didn't say or prompt, they would definitely know where that bad little master of the house was, and it was just a matter of waiting for that guy to run around again. ）

“！！”

"Damn! You little guy, what kind of attitude, do you say it or not? Be careful of your aunt and grandmother picking you up!! ”

Seeing that a certain little milk dog dared to ignore her love, Karen was furious, so she leaned down and directly picked up Tiber's leather that was holding the back collar, and directly carried it to her eyes and threatened viciously.

"Ahh

"Karen, watch out for it ticking you!"

"Hurry up! Pembli, come over and help too!! ”

Seeing that Karen had bullied Tiebs directly, Lynn, who was afraid that the other party would be scratched and bitten and had to go to Dr. Dott for vaccination, hurriedly surrounded her, and then the three women easily controlled a certain little milk dog with teeth and claws that was about to resist with six hands.

'Wow~! ’

｡ °(°¯᷄㉨¯᷅°)°｡

(Damn!) Stupid human beings, how dare you treat this bear, you wait for the bear, and when the little master lifts the power suppression of the bear, the bear has to strip you naked and eat them one by one!! ）

٩(๑`㉨´๑)۶

(I never thought that these three female humans would dare to be so unreasonable and directly suppress themselves in a three-on-one manner, and after struggling for a while and finding that they couldn't get rid of it, Tibbs secretly held a grudge and swore an oath.) ）

"Little one!"

"Tell me, where is your little master? We know you can understand people, and if you don't say it, we'll throw you in the pond! ”

With that, Karen and the others moved towards the pond next to the apple tree in the pasture, as if they really had the idea of throwing Tibbs into the pool where the water was drawn.

（…… ）

~(´•㉨•`)~

(There was no way, Tiebs, who found that the situation was stronger than the dog, had to compromise, and then turned the dog's head directly to look into the distance of the pasture farm.) ）

"Ahh

"Karen, I saw it, Anne is over there, she's riding a horse, and she's coming over right away!"

This is, the sharp-eyed Lynn followed Tibbs's gaze into the distance, and saw a figure running towards them on a pony.

"Humph!"

"You know each other!!"

Nodding, a satisfied Karen, rubbing the soft fur from Tibbs's head vigorously, threw it back under the apple tree, and turned to meet a little girl who was getting closer and closer to them.

"Huh~!"

ヾ(´∀`o)+

"Hey! Karen, Lynn, and Perbley, why are you here again, is there anything going on today? ”

ヾ(^▽^*)))

Anne, who knew that the three people in front of her must have come to look for her, asked a little strangely after Lerma stopped.

“……”

"Annie, here's how it ......"

Seeing the main master's arrival, Karen, Lynn and Poebley glanced at each other, and slowly explained the reason why the three of them came together today and visited the ranch, and hoped that Anne could give them a little bit of something so that they could go to the "harvest festival" with a strong sense of ceremony tomorrow?

Of course, they don't take it for nothing, as a condition, the three of them will help with half a day's farm work here in the ranch, such as helping with harvesting or taking care of small animals.

“！！”

! (; ﾟoﾟ)o

"But it's only the first day of autumn? It's only day eight, right? My family's ranch doesn't seem to have harvested much yet, so what kind of harvest sacrifice is this? ”

┗(▔，▔)┛

Anne looked at the large green fields of her pasture, where a group of dwarfs were busy hoeing and inspecting the semi-automatic hot spring irrigation system built there with bamboo racks.

More than a month has passed, and the dwarfs have become accustomed to working and then receiving the 'wages' of wheat flour, and of course, Anne has become accustomed to their presence, and she does not care about the affairs of the pasture anyway, which makes her seem to have no idea how much her farm has harvested in the autumn.

"Like?"

"Anne, don't you know your own ranch?"

This is, Perbley asked a little strangely.

Although the harvest festival requires little Anne, who is the owner of the ranch, to bring a little more things, that kind of thing is still very simple for the current ranch, and it is not as difficult as the other party imagined.

"Why do people want to know? Do they take a lot of stuff? ”

=͟͟͞͞('ヮ'三'ヮ'=͟͟͞͞)

Anne said she didn't know much about this, but she would go back and look at the cupboards and refrigerators when she had time, and there should be quite a few things in them.

“……”

"Forget it! Annie, this matter has been decided, we will do a little favor later, and then take some things and go. You have to remember that you are going to participate in the harvest festival tomorrow, and you must go to that thing, because you are the owner of the largest ranch in our ore town, and this year everyone will have the most harvest and shipment from your ranch, and Mayor Thomas said that you must not be absent! ”

"That's right! I almost forgot to ask......"

"Anne, why didn't you go to church the other day for that music convention? We've been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't come in the end!! ”

Kalian, who felt that there was nothing to worry about about the harvest festival, directly talked about another thing, because she was the lead singer of that concert, but as a result, this nasty imp in front of her didn't give any face at all?

"Church?"

=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪*)

"People will definitely not go again!"

(͒˶´⚇`˵)͒

Anne didn't have a very good sense of the Ore Town church and the priest Carter, so she didn't go to the Ore Town Music Festival at the church on the night of the 3rd of the fall.

"Won't go again?"

"And why?"

Karen was a little surprised, wondering why the little guy Anne answered so absolutely.

"Because Father Carter is a nuisance, he doesn't like people going to church!"

₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎

"Why don't I like you?"

Karen was even stranger, because she had the impression that Father Carter was a very kind person, although he was a bit fond of telling ghost stories, especially the scary ...... But he still likes children, and his own personality is very child-like, in any case, it is certainly not as bad as Anne says.

"Maybe he thinks that the sins of others are too great, so his gods can't easily forgive them for the time being?"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

It was a bit complicated to say, so Anne didn't intend to explain it, after all, it had been a long time, and she didn't bother to remember.

"Huh?"

"Annie, you're kidding!"

"That's it!"

"Annie, Father Carter is scaring you, he likes to scare children......"

Karen, Lynn, and Perbley didn't take it seriously and just laughed.

"Not really!"

٩(๑`^´๑)۶

'That's Father Carter kidding......

I'm just kidding, but we already know what Father Carter is. ’

'Isn't it?' ’

'But what is your sin, Anne, and why does Carter think that the gods can't forgive you?' ’

'Ahh Anne, can you tell me? ’

'yes, tell me about it ♡?' ’

'Little one, do you even say it?' ’

‘！！ ’

'Abominable ......'

In this way, Karen, Lynn, and Poebley, who had visited the ranch, were discussing the affairs of Ore Town with a little Anne on the back of a pony, and from time to time they let out a burst of frolic, but at this time, some evil being was preparing to hatch its revenge plan in order to repay some of them for what they had done to it.

（…… ）

₍₍(̨̡‾㉨‾)̧̢₎₎

(Tiebs was thinking of a way, because it felt that it seemed necessary for it to take revenge on the three stupid little females, to let them know the sinister nature of this world, to let them know that Uncle Tibbs Bear was an existence that could never be easily provoked, and to let them know that its dark nature of retribution was not something that everyone could tease with it?)

However, since its power had been sealed away by some bad little master, and there was nothing else but the power of a little milk dog, it could do nothing but crouch and watch the hateful women chatter and laugh, and rack its brains for revenge. ）

Buzzing......

(°°)～

Suddenly, a small bee flew past Tibbs's nose, and just as he was about to pounce on it and eat it in one bite, it suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.

(Humph!!) ）

(•‾̑㉨‾̑•)✧˖°

(Apparently, Tibbs thought of a good way to get revenge on the females, so he took advantage of the stupid females who had no time to take advantage of the conversation with his little master, quietly backed away, and after retreating a certain distance, began to speed up towards the apple tree.) ）

"Huh?"

∑(´△｀)？！

"Hey! Tibbs, what are you doing here? ”

く(＾_・)ゝ

At this point, little Anne, who was riding on the back of a foal, noticed the unusual behavior of her Tibbs, and asked a question, which attracted the attention of Karen, Lynn, and Perbley, and made them all look towards one of the little milk dogs who were running at full strength.

'Hey! ’

'It's coming, is it trying to grab something?' ’

'I don't know ......'

'Karen, it can't be trying to bite you, is it?' ’

'How dare it?' ’

'Yikes! It rushed over ......'

In the midst of the exclamations and vigilance of the three of them, a cute little milk dog rushed towards them at a very fast speed, making them feel even more strange in their hearts, and at the same time, they also turned around and looked towards the destination where it was running.

（…… ）

～o(㉨｀o)=3=3=3

(However, regardless of the doubts of the four fellows, it first accelerated directly to the apple tree and jumped hard, after jumping to a height of about seventy or eighty centimeters, it accelerated and ran on the trunk for two or three seconds with the blessing of speed, and then before its body was ready to fall due to gravity, it jumped the trunk of the tree with all its limbs, and then jumped high outside, and then after reaching a certain highest point, it hit a honeycomb thing with its own dog head.) The thing shook violently, and it almost didn't fall off the tree. ）

'Wow~!! ’

-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ﾍ(´㉨`)ﾉ

(Then, Thiebs, who landed on all fours steadily, didn't wait for the stunned four to react, he whimpered directly, turned around and ran out, and jumped out of the way at once!) ）

“！！”

!？ (•''•۶)۶

"Oops! Fast! Little Pony! Come on! Let's run~!! ”

٩(ŏ﹏ŏ、)۶

Annie, who had used some kind of trick to deal with a stupid guy named Zack, looked a little familiar, and didn't know what her bad bear (pronounced gǒu) Tibbs wanted to do?

So, of course, she was the first to react, and directly swung the whip hard and slammed it at the butt of the foal under her crotch, finally making a certain pony who was not too stupid react.

Chirp~!

Soon, before Karen, Lynn, and Pobley could react, they saw in the distance that a certain little milk dog was running towards the north in a desperate way, and that a clever little girl was slapping her foal and galloping south at great speed......

Airplanes~! Airplanes~! Airplanes~!

(°°)～(°°)～(°°)～

Finally, when a group of dark shadows began to appear under the apple trees, and swept in a furious manner towards Karen, Perbley, and Lynn, who were standing on the edge of the pool in a daze, they finally reacted.

'That's ......'

'Honey, bees?!! ’

‘！！ ’

'Not good! ’

'Ann, Anne! Wait for us!! ’

'Wow! Help!!, ahhhh ’

The three of them who reacted wanted to chase them south, and wanted some little guy on horseback to wait for them, and preferably run away with them?

"Don't want it!"

-=͟͟͞͞=͟͟͞͞ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

What are you kidding, how could she, Queen Anne, stop at this time? If she dared to do that stupid thing, the angry little bees would have to sting at her and the foals so hard that they would be covered in heads!

"People's horses are still small, and they can't carry so many of you!!"

Hahahaꉂꉂ(ᴖᗜᴖ*)

Although I don't know what the conflict between Tiebs the bear and the three of them is, and why she has to spoil and spoof them like this, Anne still doesn't want to run away so as not to accidentally suffer from that kind of pond fish.

'Woo!! ’

'Not good! Perbli Run!! ’

'Wow, ah!! ’

'Mom! It hurts! It hurts~! ’

'Quick! Cover your face with your skirt! Rest assured, they're not poisonous! ’

But then it hurts in the ass! ’

‘！！ ’

'Don't talk about it! Run, run!! ’

'Woo-ah-ah~!! ’

'Lynn! Wait for me, Pebley......

‘……’

Soon, a certain three female humans, who had been very proud when they had just bullied Tibers, were holding their heads in a series of mournful wails and cries, and some of them could not care about their heads but their buttocks, and they scattered in a hurry, leaving only the group of bees that had been around the apple tree and around for a long time and did not want to calm down.

Buzz Buzz......

(°°)～(°°)～(°°)～

Once again, the bees have done a miracle to protect the ranch, driving away those who are going to do something unfriendly to the ranch or the rancher's owner's dog......
