Originally, the seven dwarfs who lived in the woods north of the church, their magical humanoid creatures, and their elves in the forest, when the kappa and the goddess never liked to take the initiative to contact ordinary people, could be said to be the most powerful existence among all the inhabitants of this ore town.

In normal times, although they are very friendly and like to live peacefully with people, especially if they bring gifts, they can play with them, and they will not take the initiative to hurt people, but most of the people in Ore Town actually know more or less that the dwarfs are magical elves, which must not be easily provoked, otherwise, something terrible or unlucky will definitely happen!

But today, there is a bad little girl who not only provokes them, but also accidentally blew up the other party and the house, and also did some terrible things to them that no outsiders knew?

The residents of Ore Town didn't know exactly what was going on in the dense forest behind the church, but anyway, when Father Carter had finished the ceremony for some of the villagers who had come to the church to pray in the morning, and came out to wander around the cemetery and flower beds next to the church, he finally saw a little creature walking back from the woods with his head held high, looking like nothing was wrong, like a nobody.

So, he was pleasantly surprised.

"Annie!"

"As I was trying to tell you, when you visit the dwarfs, you must remember to bring seven gifts, one for each of them, or they will be very difficult to get along with...... Well, those little ones, those little elves in the forest, didn't bother you too much, did they? ”

Father Carter swore that in the name of God, he really wanted to seriously remind the little girl in front of him about the gift, but unfortunately, the other party ran too fast, and he was not given a chance to explain and explain at all?

Therefore, now that he saw that the other party came back safely, and his expression seemed to be good, and he didn't look wronged, he was a little relieved when he asked. After all, those elves have a mixed reputation among the inhabitants of Ore Town, and only a few children are willing to touch the quirky elves who like to use terrible magic to mischievous and play tricks on people, and adults like them, or older children who are a little more sensible, must be how far away from those guys.

"Embarrassed?"

(lll￢▽￢)

"Probably not, right?"

(?￣?? ￣??)?? °

In fact, from the beginning, there were, and those little ones really wanted to embarrass her Queen Anne! However, it turned out to be her embarrassment of them.

Talking? Anne remembered what had happened in the woods more than an hour ago......

In her anger, she threw out a whole lot of flour, that is, those wheat flours? And then another one accidentally blew up the other party's house? And then when she just flew out of the chaotic ruins, just hanging in the air and holding the fireball majestically in the sky, waiting for the dwarfs to fight back? But she was surprised to discover:

When the seven dwarfs were snow-white and extremely embarrassed from the burst of flour that had been blown apart? And then crawling out of the ruins of a log cabin sprinkled with broken flour and crumbs? But there is no intention of resisting at all, so it is a mess?

'Ahem......

'Woo! It hurts! ’

'Whoever has water, my eyes are full of wheat flour, and my eyes are blind......

'Help, help, ......'

'Oh my God, what's going on?' Our home was ruined like this? ’

'What the hell is going on?' ’

'Nappy? Don't ask me? I don't really know ......'

‘！！ ’

'Where is she?' Look, she looks like she can fly? And that horrible exploding fire magic! ’

'Devil! ’

She's the devil! Definitely! ’

‘？？ ’

'Akeya, what are you going to do?' Do you want to fight her? ’

'No! Guli Di? I want to surrender......

‘……’

Then, when she thought that those guys would fight back angrily, she was surprised to find that after seeing that she could fly in mid-air with a simple levitation technique and hold a terrible fireball in the palm of her hand, their little little ones, those elves of the forest, actually shouted that she was a devil monster, and knelt directly on the ground to show their submission to her?

At last......

When Anne, who had succeeded in declaring force, had warned, reassured, and encouraged them a little, she finally reaped seven free laborers who were grateful and willing to go unconditionally to the pasture to help her with her farm work, that is, to let the dwarfs help her with the troublesome work of watering, hoeing, and harvesting, and the wages were still as she went.

"Ahh

"Aren't you embarrassed by them? That's great, I've been worrying about you just now! ”

Seeing the mischievous arc that the corners of the little girl's mouth couldn't help but secretly curve, Father Carter knew that the other party must have had a good experience in the dwarf's cabin, so he completely relieved himself.

"That's right!"

"Anne, didn't you just say you were going to church to do penance? If so, now you can go and get ready, you can go to the Dart family's shop to get some food first, and then go directly to the church and go to the confessional, and I will be waiting for you in the church. ”

"Let's just say it, see you or not?"

After saying that, without waiting for little Anne to refuse, Father Carter waved his hand and walked into the church. Because he also needs to go to lunch now, and rest and recharge for some time, the afternoon is the time for repentance.

"Ah......h

Σ(°△°|||) ︴

"Have people said that before?"

(ー`′ー)

"Hmm...... Uh-huh...... It seems like...... That one...... Seem...... Did you really promise Carter that he was going to play that game called 'Repentance'......"

(； ′⌒`)

Originally, Anne wanted to go straight back to the ranch, and then take a good hot spring bath in the bathroom at home, and then take a nap...... Because she had just played a fun game of flour explosion with the seven dwarfs in the woods, and she always felt like there were some flour particles stuck to her body?

"Forget it!"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Since I accidentally agreed before, let's deal with him later!!"

(?????)

With that, Anne walked straight out of the courtyard gate of the church and began to stroll down the street south of Ore Town.

After all, it was already afternoon, so Anne planned to go to lunch first, that is, to Sister Lin and Uncle Dart's shop for lunch, and then go to the vineyard of the Dick Shu family to drink a glass of sweet and sour grape juice, and finally go to the beach for a big bowl of cold shaved ice.

14:22 PM......

"Aha~?"

?? (′?｀?)???

Anne always did whatever she wanted, so at about two o'clock in the afternoon, she slipped from the beach to the church with a large glass bowl of shaved ice, kicked open the door of the church, which was so sacred to others, hummed a ballad into the church, and paced to the confessional that looked like a little dark room.

By this time, the Ore Town residents who had come to the church in the morning to pray had long since gone, and the only one left was Cliff's little brother, who was said to have run away from home and come to Ore Town, and was still in a state of wandering and had some low self-esteem, napping in the rows of wooden chairs in the church.

"Uh-huh......"

( ̄~ ̄) Chew!

"That Uncle Carter said that the confessional room should be this, right?"

(???????)

Anne ignored the Cliff who had been awakened and was looking at her curiously, and while eating her own things, she looked at the door of the confessional, and when she realized that she was not in the wrong place, she blinked, and continued to push the door with her shaved ice and walked into the small dark room.

‘……’

'What's wrong?' ’

'Anne...... The gods are watching you and saying, what do you want to repent? Say it, and the gods will forgive you......

Anne, who had just walked in and closed the door, was looking around as if she heard what seemed to be Uncle Carter's voice coming from a small square hole in the wall? Moreover, on the other side of the hole, the place where the other party is hiding seems to have undergone special treatment, so it always sounds a little weird on her side?

But no matter how much the other party handles it, it's useless, anyway, Anne can hear it at once, the other party is the priest, and there is no doubt that Carter!

"Hi~!"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

"Carter, are you hiding across the street and playing that kind of game of pretending to be a god?"

('-ω??)

Anne leaned over to the hole and squinted across to see what the hiding Cater was doing.

‘！！ ’

'Anne...... I am now God...... Uh, no! I'm talking to you on behalf of God now, go back to your chair and sit down, and please don't eat when you repent, that would be very disrespectful to God, maybe God won't forgive you......

After discovering the movements of a nasty little girl, the hollow voice inevitably became a little confused and anxious.

"Alright then......"

(*^▽^*)

Seeing how interesting the game was called 'Confession', Anne quickly sat back in her chair, wiped her mouth, and set aside the large bowl of cream and jam that had only eaten most of the top, leaving only some shaved ice at the bottom, which had become less tasty.

'Okay......'

'Say, Anne, what do you want to repent? ’

'Say it, whatever it is that makes you feel guilty, you can say it here......

'Say it......

Seeing that the other party was still cooperative, Father Carter continued to use that empty voice to lure the way quietly.

"Guilty?"

=???? ('ヮ'=????)

"That, Carter Shu, people don't seem to have done anything particularly guilty......"

(O ^~^ O)

Guilt or something, apparently there is no such thing!

For the heartless Queen Anne, no matter what she does, it must be right, and what she says is right is right, and it is not either! So, the thing that makes her feel guilty or something, then it really doesn't exist at all!

"Most ......"

(lll￢ω￢)

"There may be something that people are embarrassed to mention, right?"

(*/?＼*)

‘……’

'That can also be ......'

'Say, Anne, speak boldly and come, and try to get the gods to forgive you......

"It's okay to say it, but people won't let that Rausch god forgive!!"

(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut ~~

God or something, that kind of mess still wants to forgive her, Queen Anne? How dare he come out and run up to her to see if she'll just beat him up all over the head?!

'Ahem......

'Speak up, Anne...... What do you want to repent of? ’

Obviously, Father Carter's words made Father Carter almost choke on him, but he finally remembered what he was doing now, so he barely held back his preaching, and planned to let the little girl complete the other party's confession first.

"Hmm......"

(°ー°〃)

"Does it count if people haven't taken good care of their puppies and foals?"

(^～^; )ゞ

Anne's dog, Tibbs, was a terrifying shadow bear that had been transformed by transfiguration magic, so Anne didn't even think about it, even if it ran around Ore Town in the middle of the night, and she never fed it...... Of course, the foal was the same, it was raised by her Tiebs, the little milk dog, and she hadn't looked at it for so long, and she didn't even know if it was dead.

‘！！ ’

'What do you think you're raising for yourself?' ’

'They give you what you need, they give you care of your home, they carry heavy loads for you, they bring you joy, and in order to thank them, you should take good care of them......

'Otherwise, with an owner like you, those animals would be very pitiful......

'Anne......'

If you don't correct it, God won't be able to forgive you, and He will punish you at some point!" ’

Carter, who had finally found an opportunity, warned the little girl Anne in a stern tone.

"Humph!"

o(′^｀)o

"People don't want his forgiveness, and besides, he dares to come and see, who will punish who at that time may not be~?!"

? (ψ｀▽′)?? *。

As she spoke, Anne directly clenched her small fist and threatened.

Anyway, Anne had already caught seven dwarfs as coolies today, and she had already caught seven of them anyway, so she didn't mind catching one or two more! If that Uncle Carter is telling the truth, that's great! Just because Queen Anne won't do anything to ordinary people doesn't mean she won't be soft on those who are powered by extraordinary powers, such as gods or demons.

‘……’

'Anne, is there anything else you need to repent? ’

Father Carter, who found that he had not succeeded in intimidating a certain bad little girl, felt that it was necessary to make persistent efforts feel that today he should break the previous practice of only one person repenting once a day, and let the other party repent a little more until he succeeded in intimidating the other party and making the other party humbly correct it?

"Hmm......"

?? (?? ￣?￣)????

"Of course, for example: people don't seem to be very popular with some people in the town?"

? (⊙▽⊙*)?

There must be a lot of people who like Anne in Ore Town, such as Lynn, Karen, Mary, Elle, and Pobley, who are definitely good with Anne.

But some people definitely don't like her very much, like Uncle Zack, Officer Harris, Mayor Thomas, and Rick, the brother of the Pobley family, they definitely don't like her very much! There are many reasons for this, as far as Anne knows, that Uncle Zach is afraid of her, because every time the other party comes to her house to ship, he will always be injured and hospitalized and ask for leave...... Harris, on the other hand, was afraid that she would speak ill of him...... Mayor Thomas, the bad old man, is still worried about horse racing...... Rick's little four-eyed is because Anne gave him a nickname and ate his champion chicken?

Anyway, that's probably how it went.

'Anne......'

You know, if there is no reason, the people in the town will not hate you for no reason, so there must be some reason, right?' ’

'You put your hands on your chest, think about it, and if you think of the reason, reflect on it?' As long as you reflect on it, God has forgiven you......

To be honest, including Father Carter, he didn't like Annie very much, because the other party was different from the others in Ore Town, the other party had been in town for so long, and this was the first time he had come to his church, and he didn't want to pray, and he didn't look repentant at all!

And if the other party wasn't still a little girl, he would have said something heavy and reprimanded the other party harshly.

"People don't reflect on it!"

o(′^｀)o

"It's their business that they hate, so what's the matter? Anyway, people don't like them very much, so let them continue to hate them! ”

?? (′?｀?)???

Annik never expected everyone to like her, and anyone who thinks that way must be in their right minds! For example, Uncle Carter, who is now pretending to be a 'god' to talk to her, he naively wants her to work hard to make everyone like her, is that a joke?

‘……’

'Say something else, Anne, what else do you have to repent? ’

Carter was a little frustrated, but he hadn't given up yet, and he planned to continue the 'fight' with Annie, a naughty little girl.

"Of course there is!!"

(/^▽^)/

"That...... People often bully small animals and roast them on the fire, which should be considered a bad thing, right? ”

?? (?? ￣?￣)????

Anne remembered the creatures in the back mountains that she had captured and shipped, the monkeys, wild dogs, and foxes, but fortunately Uncle Zucker didn't accept them at the time, otherwise, they would have been caught by her and sold for money now, right? Of course, there were many more critters that she caught and eat...... Thinking about that kind of thing, she's a little embarrassed!

Of course, it's just a little embarrassing, and there's no more, and it shouldn't be.

'W-What?! ’

'I didn't expect, Annie, that you were such a person......

'But ......'

Man is weak, and sometimes, man does save himself by bullying animals that are weaker than himself...... But that's just a sign of cowardice, and if you don't realize it, you'll never be able to save yourself......

'Anne, if you are sincere in correcting it, God will surely forgive you......

Father Carter, who had just wanted to reprimand Anne, suddenly remembered that the person in the confessional was only an eight-year-old girl, so after a moment's struggle, he had to change his tone of voice halfway.

"Not really!"

ε? (????)? з

"People bully them not because they're weak, it's because they're delicious!!"

? (ψ｀﹃′)o

Anne suddenly remembered the champion chicken that had been bitten to death by her Tibbs, and it was delicious...... If she could do it again, she would definitely let her little bear (pronounced gǒu) Tiebs bite each other again!

‘……’

'Annie, you have sinned so much that there should be nothing else to repent of today, right?' ’

To be honest, Father Carter was feeling a little tired, so he planned to end today's confession first, and wait until another day to study the great truth to convince the naughty little girl opposite, and then continue today's confessional ceremony?

"Wait! And oh! ”

! (;?o?) o

"Uncle Carter, people tell you that people also like to sleep lazy, and often sleep until the next afternoon, and then eat breakfast, lunch and dinner together!"

(?￣?￣?) Hey!

Thinking of the recent fact that she was able to sleep again, Anne couldn't have been happier, and there was no expression of repentance on her face.

‘……’

'Sleep lazy because you don't usually pay attention to resting on time. ’

Because you can't sleep, you may not be able to do what you are supposed to do or what you promised someone else to do, and your work on the ranch will be delayed...... The gods hate people who don't have a sense of time. ’

So Anne, you'd better change it, or the gods won't be able to forgive you, and He will punish you at some point!' ’

Carter had actually heard of the little girl in the confessional opposite who liked to sleep lazily and often disappeared in the afternoon, so seeing that the opportunity was rare now, he became energetic again, and began to reprimand the other party a little, ready to correct the other party's bad habits.

"People don't want to change!"

(￢д￢。 )

"Moreover, it's their own business to sleep in, what is the matter of your family's gods?"

o(*｀ー′)o

‘……’

'Anne, is there anything else you need to repent? If not......

If not, Carter is going to rest, he really can't stand the bad little girl opposite, because he can see that the other party is not sincere to confess at all, the other party is sincere to anger him.

"Of course there is!"

(^_?) ☆

‘！！ ’

'What is it?' ’

"People often bully other people's bears!"

(*?′?`?)

'That's bad......

'Annie, it's not right to bully the bear, and your bear hasn't provoked you, so why should you bully it for no reason?' Doing so will not only not make you nobler, but it will also alienate you from your bear, and even make your bear hate you and hate you even more until it leaves you......

'By the way, your bear is ......'

Carter suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to remember that there was an animal named 'Little Bear' or anything else on Annie's ranch.

"It's a ragdoll toy bear, it doesn't dare to leave!"

(???????)

Anyway, Anne is used to beating her bear, and the bear never dares to complain, and she has always been very close to it, so there will be no estrangement!

‘…..’

Carter was suddenly speechless, and he felt physically and mentally exhausted......

"That's right!"

! (;?o?) o

"They just bullied the dwarfs, beat them up, burned down their houses, and forced them to work for them!"

(???? -)

Speaking of this, Anne became energetic again, and was ready to tell her about cleaning up those who were very rude and dared to openly ask her for gifts (bribes).

'No ......'

'Anne, please don't joke in the confessional, no one can beat the dwarfs, because they can do magic, not even Officer Harris dares to provoke them!' ’

Obviously, Father Carter didn't believe Annie's words, so he just interjected in a tired and sudden way.

"But they really beat them!"

(?? ˇεˇ??)

'Alas......'

Or something else? Anything else? It must not be there, right? ’

Carter was already slumped on a stool in the little house opposite, and he felt that he was being mentally tortured by some evil little girl? Anyway, it was a terrible experience, he just felt that his soul was polluted, that the whole person was not very good, and that his gods were about to abandon him......

"Uh-huh....."

(′??? `)

"And many, many more!!"

??? (?)????

So Anne began to talk about the 'good deeds' she had done in other worlds, and she was excitedly talking in the confessional room little by little, not even knowing that the half bowl of shaved ice beside her had melted into a bowl of water.

Two hours later......

Gala~!

"Huh?"

∑(′△｀)？！

"Uncle Carter, why did you suddenly come here, don't we continue to repent?!"

く(＾_?) ゝ

Anne looked at the square hole in the wall in front of her with some strange looks, and then at the priest Carter in front of her, who had opened the wooden door of the confessional with a dark face, wondering why the other person's face had become so ugly.

“……”

"Annie, your sins are too great for the gods I believe in to forgive you, so please come back another day......"

"No!"

"It's better not to come again......"

Apparently, Father Carter had had enough...... He was almost tormented by the storytelling confessions and all kinds of crooked reasoning of the little girl in front of him! Anyway, he really didn't want to see each other in his church again.

He felt that the little girl in front of him was hopeless, had completely fallen into hell, and he would definitely not be able to forgive her if he had a god!

“！！”

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

"Humph! If you don't come, you won't come, really, it's not fun to repent or anything! And, Uncle Carter, the god you believe in is an impostor! ”

o(′^')o hum!

With that, Anne got up from her chair, didn't even want the glass bowl of shaved ice that had turned into water, snorted coldly, and strode out from the pale-faced Uncle Carter.
