On the 9th of autumn, the "Harvest Festival" held at Rose Square in Ore Town, also known as the Harvest Festival, is a very important and important festival of the year for the residents of Ore Town, and is an alternative ritual for people to celebrate a good harvest, pray for good weather in the coming year, and share joy.

So, it was just ten o'clock in the morning, and many of the inhabitants of Ore Town had come here spontaneously with what they thought was delicious, ready to throw their belongings into the iron cauldron in the middle of the square, which was burning with several stoves and a large amount of wood, and looked like a huge iron-making blast furnace.

By this time, there was already a lot of stuff inside, and when Anne came here in a hurry, it seemed as if the tall and large cauldron had been boiling for a while.

'Quick! ’

'Those who bring things, don't rush to chat first, come to my side and line up first...... Hurry up and hand me what you brought, Zach and I will check it for you and put it in, this step must be done sooner, if you want to eat this year's delicious "Harvest Festival" dish quickly? ’

'Hurry up, come here and line up!' ’

'Oh! Little Annie! ’

'Don't hide, I see you...... Yes, yes, you actually brought a whole basket of things, worthy of the rancher of the largest ranch in our ore town, I really didn't see the wrong person in the first place! ’

But you better come here and line up first, remember not to cut the line, don't rush to talk, we will have time to talk to you later, we will be here to celebrate all day!" ’

On the huge, iron-making blast furnace-like iron pot, Thomas, the mayor of Ore Town, was standing under the ladder and took the things that the people lined up to hand him, and then he checked them and handed them to Zack, the shipper who was lying on top of the wooden ladder, and told the strong man, who was sweating profusely but smiling like a big boy, to throw the same things that everyone had brought directly into the boiler-like cauldron for a pot of stew.

That's right, it's a pot stew like a hot pot, and that's the essence of Ore Town's "Harvest Festival" heritage cuisine!

'Excellent? You're here with grandma? ’

'Very well, let me see what you've brought...... How many fresh wild mushrooms? Not bad, really good, I received your materials, let's go, go sit on the chair over there with your grandma and wait, it's hot here, the boiler is hot, be careful not to hurt you! ’

'Hurry up, small children are not allowed to linger here!' ’

'Mana ......'

Are you sure you want to put a whole bottle of wine in there? It's a pity that such a good thing is, why don't I exchange a cabbage for you...... Okay, okay, don't be angry, can't I put it in? ’

'Ahh ’

'It's Gotz...... You can still save the bamboo shoots in the spring until now, and they look quite fresh. Are you sure...... Can it still eat? ’

'Okay, let's put it in......

‘！？ ’

'May! The red grass really can't be put in, sorry, this one really can't be put in, it's slightly poisonous, eating it directly will make people feel tired, you better take it another day and ship it to Uncle Zack, he will definitely give you a little pocket money......

'Ahh Cheese is fine, red grass is really bad, you can take this back to your grandfather or to Uncle Zack, good, listen to Grandpa Thomas! ’

'Lynn, Karen, and Perbley, why are you all eggplants this year?' ’

'Wait, what's going on with your face, what's going on, what's going on?' Oh my God, why is your pretty little mouth swollen like a sausage?! ’

'Uh......'

'Okay, I'm not going to ask the head office, are I? Next......'

'Cliff, yours is the rabbit you caught?' Well, now that it's taken care of, let's put it in. ’

‘？？ ’

'Gray! What are you holding in your hand? Sandworms dug up today? Have you treated the sand inside? Have you dealt with it? That...... Then put it in, although it always feels a little weird to put this kind of bug in......

'Huh? ’

'Ellie, isn't this chocolate powder good?' ’

'Wait! Mary, what are you taking? Let me see...... Blue grass? This one is okay and tastes good......

'Harris, did you go fishing today?' Well, let's put it in after the internal organs are processed! ’

'Hey!! ’

'Bakir...... Don't put plants I don't know, I know you're a botanist, even if you say it can be eaten, but as long as it's something I don't know, it won't work! ’

‘……’

'Oh~! ’

'Little Annie, it's your turn, let me see what's in your basket?' Not...... It looks like it's all crops grown in pastures, so much? If it's all crops, then it should be fine, forget it, since you've let the dwarfs clean it with magic, then I won't check it, you little guy has a lot of strength, come, you just hand it to Zach and let him pour it all in. ’

‘……’

Finally, after Anne had lined up and handed Uncle Zach the basket she had brought, and had him throw it directly into the big boiler of stew, Anne was finally able to wander around the square while smelling the strange scent coming from the boiler.

"Hi~♡!"

☆ﾐ(o*･▽･)ﾉ

"Sister Karen, Sister Lin, and Perbley, are you all okay?"

ꉂ(๑¯͒ꇴ¯͒)✧

Anne quickly found the three who had just left the group and walked aside to avoid the crowd's sight, and asked with a smile as she looked at their swollen brows, noses, cheeks, and lips.

"Humph!!"

"What do you see? Little one, it's not your nasty puppy's fault? Is it here today, my aunt has to beat it up! ”

Seeing Anne coming over awkwardly, Kalian, whose cheeks were still a little swollen on one side, pulled up her cuffs and searched around, ready to really go to some nasty little milk dog.

However, as soon as she pulled up her cuffs, she couldn't help but grin and gasp!

Because, ah, there are still a few red bumps of various sizes on her arms, although she has applied the potion provided by Dr. Dot, to ensure that there will be no marks or scars in the future, but no matter what, it will be painful and swollen for two days.

"I don't think I came......

"Look, damn little one, it made my brow and eyelids swollen, and when I went back yesterday, my dad thought I was fighting with Karen!!"

After searching for a while, Lynn with swollen eyes quickly came up with an answer that made them feel a little regretful...... Apparently, she could see that the little Anne had not brought her abominable little milk dog, Tibbs.

Of course, it's also possible that the cunning little thing knows what to face, so it didn't follow?

"You two are okay~!"

"You—look at the lips of the nest, and the buttocks of the nest...... Nest, it hurts to talk now......"

"Hiss......"

"And I don't dare to sit on a stool, and I can only lie on my stomach when I sleep at night...... Not to mention how uncomfortable it is, woo...... I really want to throw her bad dog in the boiler and stew and eat it!! ”

At this time, Perbury on the side also said angrily.

Of the three people who were attacked by a raging swarm of bees at the ranch yesterday, she was the most seriously injured in Perbley! Not only was she stung several times in the mouth, but she didn't even let go of her buttocks, because she was stupid enough to pull up her skirt to cover her face after listening to Karene or Rin's words?

Then, she couldn't take care of her cheeks if she could take care of her face.

"Haha......"

(*^▽^*)

"Actually, people have wanted to throw it in the pot for a long time...... But that's useless, it's not afraid of that~♡! ”

(｡ •̀ꌂ-)✧

Anne says that her Tiebs is not a dog, in fact, she often throws it in pots, buckets, or lava lava or something, so even if the three people in front of her catch it and actually throw it in the boiler to stew, it will definitely be helpless.

"Humph!"

"Wait and see, Anne...... When I catch it next time, do you think it's afraid? Next time, I'll have to punish it well! ”

"That's right, Kalian, I'll beat it up with you when the time comes!"

"It's not okay to beat it, Lin, we're going to throw it in that pot over there again, and then stew it and eat it!" Do you dare to watch it in the future?! ”

Although the three of them said so, Karen also knew that they were just verbal threats, and even if they did catch them, they would definitely not throw them in the boiler to stew...... Besides, Mayor Thomas and Zach weren't allowed to do it, they were there all the time, and it would be nice if she could sneak chocolates and candy into them.

“……”

(lll￢▽￢)

"Then whatever you want, people don't mind anyway~!"

₍₍(̨̡‾ᗣ‾)̧̢₎₎

Anne didn't think that the three guys in front of her could fight her stupid dog Tiebs, even if the other party was now suppressed by herself, and she couldn't exert any power at all.

'Hey~! ’

'Don't make any noise, and don't be anxious! Uncle Saibala, don't put that kind of thing in, there are so many fish, are we going to drink fish soup today? ’

'There will be a lot of bone spurs and a fishy smell later, that's not easy to deal with!' ’

‘……’

'There's too much ginger, so let's put some ingredients in the bar, and then Zach remembers to scoop out the foam......

'What's that?' Wine? And grapes? Come on, who brought that thing, how can you put that kind of thing in? ’

'Hey! Why is that potato a little green, it can't be sprouted, right? Hurry up and throw it away!! ’

‘……’

"Hey~!"

"Dad is so long-winded, and he doesn't eat alone, why is his voice louder than Mayor Thomas?"

At this time, the four people who were chatting soon heard the noise and cheers coming from the other side of the boiler, and then Lin sighed helplessly to her friends with some curtle.

"That's because Mr. Dart is a professional chef, and if he watches, this year's Harvest Festival food will taste much better."

"But even that might not be useful, because everyone has already put a lot of stuff in before they know it......"

"But luckily the pot is big enough!"

"Yes, that pot is so good, you can put a lot of things in it to make soup and drink, and the nutrition should be pretty good, maybe if I think it's good after drinking it later, I can let grandma drink a little and take some back?"

At this time, Mary, who was wearing glasses, and Ellie, who was still wearing a nurse's uniform, also came over, and they also came today, and they also brought a lot of things and threw them into the cauldron like the big boiler.

"Karen, Lynn and Pobley, do your wounds still hurt?"

"Do you want me to change your dressing?"

Seeing the embarrassed look of the three sisters, Ellie couldn't help but hold back a smile and pretended to be concerned and asked.

Thankfully, she was on duty at the hospital and didn't have time to go to the farm with them, and Mary didn't go to the library as much as she did, otherwise it wouldn't have been just the three of them who had been stung now.

"Don't!"

"Your hand strength is too great, and it hurts so much to rub the back of someone yesterday, I don't know if you deliberately ...... like that"

Perbley looked at the guy in front of him who was as bad as Dort's doctor with some grievances, originally her back didn't seem to be too painful, but after the other party rubbed so hard yesterday, she only felt more painful and swollen today.

"I didn't mean to!"

"Because Dr. Dott said that those medicines need to be massaged vigorously to activate them and bruise as much as possible in order to recover as soon as possible, that is called long pain is better than short pain, otherwise you can swell for several more days!"

"But, but you're pushing too hard!"

"That's no way, because my methods are not as good as Dr. Dort's, and you don't allow him to come in person, so I have to do that......"

“！！”

"He's a man, how could we possibly let him come? Ellie, you're really, to put it mildly, if it were you, you wouldn't say that! ”

"Perbley, patients are all the same in the eyes of doctors, they are both men and women......"

"But doctors are divided into men and women in the eyes of their patients!!"

“……”

"Okay, don't make any noise, it seems that it's almost edible over there, let's go and line up to get some first, and then let's talk while eating?"

"Great idea!"

"Go, go, go!"

When the strange scent that permeated the air in Rose Square in Ore Town grew stronger, when the fire under the boiler-like cauldron grew more and more intense, when the water vapor on the boiler continued to rise with the boiling soup, and when the people lined up under the auspices of Mayor Thomas to get a portion of the "Harvest Offering" that Zach had scooped out with a long spoon, Karen hurriedly stopped the argument between Purbly and Elle, and beckoned everyone to rush towards the middle of the square in the distance.

Half an hour later.

☀

The autumn sun is still so good, and there is still a cool autumn breeze, that staying in Rose Square, which has not much shelter, will not make the residents of Ore Town too uncomfortable.

Merely......

Those who had more or less eaten and drunk a thick soup did not feel very comfortable on their expressions, but frowned one by one?

‘…..’

‘…..’

Grunt!

Grunt~! Grunt~!

'Ahh ’

'My stomach ......'

'It hurts, Ellie, I suddenly want to go to the bathroom......

'Me too......'

'Ellie, your grandmother won't drink that food too, will she?' ’

"Not yet, but Yuu must have drunk it......

'Oh no, I can't hold it back!' Get out of the way, Pebley, I'm going in now!" ’

'Hey! I came first, don't push the door~♡! ’

‘……’

'Oh, why are there so many people here, let's go home!' ’

'Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come on! ’

'Zach! This is the closest to the dock, why don't we go to your house? ’

'Good! ’

Soon, except for a few people who did not eat or drink and did not react, most of the people who had drunk the "Harvest Festival" dishes scattered in a hurry, leaving the Rose Square with only dinner plates, chopsticks, soup spoons, or other things scattered all over the floor, looking like a mess all over the floor.

“！！”

"Hey! Annie, why are you alright? ”

At this time, he didn't know what was wrong with the dishes of the "Harvest Festival", and Thomas, who was overwhelmed by the urgency, saw a little girl standing not far away and was unmoved, so he asked a little strangely.

"The ......"

（ಠ~ಠ）

"Because people just came last in line, they didn't have time to eat at all? Then Grandpa Thomas, why are you okay? ”

く(＾_・)ゝ

"I didn't have time to eat ...... either"

"That's right!"

"Anne, did you put anything strange in there? We threw all your baskets of crops in there, and we didn't even have time to look at them......"

Seeing that the important "harvest festival" and the cooked food went wrong, Thomas, who presided over the ceremony, of course, had a bad look!

So, after thinking about it, he thought that the jam, chocolate, or candy that some of the tricksters had thrown in should not be a big problem, and he felt that he really couldn't find what the problem was, so he had to ask about the big basket that some little guy had brought with him who was most likely to have a problem and the only one who hadn't looked closely.

"That's a lot!"

٩(ˊ▽ˋ*)و

"Tomatoes, corn, onions, pumpkins, pineapples, eggplants, carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach and green peppers!"

٩(•̤̀ᵕ•̤́๑)ᵒᵏᵎᵎᵎᵎ

"That's all? Sounds like a good deal......"

Those were all hot spring crops from the pasture, Thomas had seen them when he looked at them before, and they were all well cleaned, after all, the magic of those dwarfs was very magical, so he didn't continue to check them, thinking that they must be all cleaned up crops.

"And some sea fish, and honey!"

♪٩(´ᵕ｀๑)۶⁾⁾

For Anne, who was tired of eating grilled fish, of course she would not be stingy to bring all the things she couldn't finish in the basket.

"Fish? Honey? ”

"But that doesn't seem to be a problem......

There are a lot of people who bring fish today, not to mention honey, it can be put in the soup to improve the freshness, and even drink it directly is no problem, and it is also very good for the body, as long as there is no puffer fish...... Of course, if there is a pufferfish, it is estimated that it is not as simple as diarrhea.

"And apples and eggs!"

(｡ •̀ꌂ-)✧

"Apples and eggs aren't the only ones you're putting in! If you think about it again, is there anything else special? ”

Although Thomas doesn't recommend putting fruit, he won't stop it, and the apple is not inedible when heated, the apple pie is very delicious, and it won't be too bad to put a little in the soup.

"Hmm......"

(′～`●)

"I think there are mushrooms I just picked today, and there are several matsutake mushrooms among them!"

໒(⊙ᴗ⊙)७

They were picked by Anne in the back mountains, and they grew behind a pile of rubble, and ordinary people really couldn't get by, but it didn't bother her, Queen Anne.

"Oh! Matsutake mushrooms! You're so willing, little guy!! ”

"But that sounds fine, do you have anything else special to put in it?".

Hearing the little girl say this, Thomas was even more puzzled...... Because, the other party seems to put all the serious things, and there are a lot of good things in them, such as matsutake honey or something, so he also began to rack his brains to think.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of someone who would put something that shouldn't have been put in, which would cause problems with the stewed soup.

"Hmm......"

(｡ •ˇ‸ˇ•｡ )

"That's right! And are there a few beautiful mushrooms picked together in the back mountain? When people saw that no one picked it, they took a little of it. ”

! (; ﾟoﾟ)o

That kind of mushroom can be taken and shipped, and it is said that it is worth a lot of money?

However, for the little Anne who now has the ranch on the right track, has a group of dwarfs who don't want to work to exploit to their heart's content, has a fixed large income every day, and doesn't need to go to fry fish or search the mountains at all, after picking that kind of valuable mushrooms, there is no desire to ship, and she will directly use it for the "harvest sacrifice" here.

“！！”

"How many floating, pretty mushrooms?"

Mayor Thomas was stunned for a moment, stopped to think, and instead looked at the little girl with stiff eyes, and felt that he seemed to have faintly found the key to the problem?

"That's right! People picked them in the back mountains, they are beautiful! ”

(｡ •̀ᴗ-)✧

Originally, Anne wanted to take it back and keep it for herself, but she thought that she didn't seem to be very good at cooking, so after some struggle, she had to use it cheaply.

"Ann, Anne......"

"Those mushrooms, are they like this?"

Suddenly, Mayor Thomas turned his head and rummaged through a certain dumpster behind him for a while, and soon took out a beautiful speckled mushroom, which the little girl Mei had brought, but he picked it out after seeing it.

"That's right! That's it! ”

ꉂ(๑✪ꇴ✪)✧

"But Grandpa Thomas, why do you have one here?"

|˛˙꒳˙)？

"Ahh

"It's over, it's over! I knew I shouldn't have let Zach drop all of his brains at that time......"

"Don't talk about it, I'm going to talk to Dot, little guy, you go home first, don't worry about the things here!!"

After saying that, Thomas finally found the problem and left in a hurry.

He planned to immediately go to the hospital to talk to Dr. Dott about the collective poisoning caused by the inhabitants of Ore Town who accidentally ingested poisonous mushrooms. But now it's good to know that the dish of the "Harvest Festival" is stewed in one pot and the number of poisonous mushrooms should not be too much, plus the pot has a lot of soup, so the concentration of toxins must not be too high, otherwise the problem will be really big!

“？？？”

∑(´△｀)？！

"Forget it, let's drink first......"

₍₍(̨̡ ̅ᗣ ̅)̧̢₎₎Grun~!

Seeing Thomas's bad-nosed guy leave in a hurry, looking at the Rose Square that had been cleared in an instant, Anne thought about it, and simply stepped forward, picked up one of the bowls of thick soup that was still steaming, and drank it all in one gulp!

She really didn't mean it, and she didn't know that the mushroom couldn't be eaten, and she couldn't be blamed for it, she had a big basket of things, who made that nasty-nosed old man want to be lazy and not check it carefully?

“……”

(๑•́؎•̀๑)

"It smells a little weird, but it still tastes good!"

ꉂ(๑ ̄͒ꇴ ̄͒)=3 hoots!

Anne picked up another bowl and drank it in one more gulp.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but she thought about it and picked up another bowl, and planned to take it back to the ranch to give her bear Tibbs a drink to see if he would have diarrhea too.

Although, there are indeed poisonous mushrooms and chocolate inside......

But......

Remembering that her own Tiebs was no ordinary dog, she quickly put aside that unnecessary or never-ever 'worry', and firmly believed that it would be fine!
