The "Pumpkin Festival" on the 30th autumn of Ore Town is a very friendly festival for all children. Of course, it is also a lively and noisy day for Anne and a very novel experience.

Because, on that day, she could go to "beg for food" one by one like other children?

(*?′?`?)

Yes, it's just 'begging', and the meaning is almost that...

Anyway, on that day, she was able to be like a normal ore town child (although there were only three children in the entire ore town...), after she opened the door and ate many delicious snacks or unpalatable snacks that were made, autumn passed in the blink of an eye, and then came to the last season of the 120 days of the year in the 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 a bright and cool autumn, but just after 00:00 that morning, heavy snow fell from the sky outside, and then the north wind began to roar fiercely. When she got up the next day, all she saw was the cold white world with ice and snow and thick snow.

Then, the crops, including grass in her pasture fields, which had not yet been harvested, were all covered with snow...

The semi-automatic hot spring watering system invented and designed by her and was in charge of the construction of Uncle Gotz was directly frozen into a lump of ice. The original dripping bamboo pipes were all covered with crystal ice ridges. They looked like ice crystal willow branches, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight. They looked extremely beautiful and were amazed and pursued by the people of the Ore Town who were idle in winter, as if they had regarded it as a wonder of the Ore Town?

So, naturally, Anne's ranch became a place for the residents and children of Mineral Town to play and have fun in winter, and she was finally forced to get up early every day and continue her daily life in spring with Carlene, Lin, Mary, Perbley and Ellie, which is the kind of thing that goes to take shelter in the hot spring early in the morning and plays with shamelessly unhurriedly.

For example, today, it was the tenth day after winter. On this morning, Anne had a rare first time meeting with five people, including Carlin, Lin, Mary, Ellie and Perbley, in the hot spring in the Ore Town. So, after a burst of noise, she soaked smoothly in the fog and could not see the human face a few meters away, enjoying a rare warm place in this cold world of ice and snow.

“…”

(`●__●ˊ)

It is very comfortable to soak in the hot springs in this cold winter. Anyway, Annie feels that compared to the places where people run to play, watch ice ridges, build snowmen and play snowball fights every day, the hot springs are much more comfortable, warm and quiet, because few people are willing to come to the back mountain to play in the wind and snow all the way, and not everyone is willing to soak in the hot springs early in the morning if they have time.

Although Anne herself is not afraid of the cold, it is like her not afraid of flames. However, if she can soak in the warm hot spring, she will definitely not go outside the bone-cold or jump into the ice and snow world.

"Hello!"

"Little guy, what are you doing these days? We haven't seen you go out in the winter just now... If you hadn't followed us to get up early and come here to take a hot spring bath these days, we wouldn't know how you've been doing recently!"

After soaking for a while, when the women's faces began to flush with their cheeks being run red by the warm hot spring, Karen suddenly stood up, completely ignoring the faintly exposed body in the mist, she walked directly to Annie's side and sat on the warm pebbles under the spring water. After letting the spring water soak on her smooth shoulders, she asked curiously next to Annie's shoulders.

They had known for a long time that because it was sunny recently and almost every day, people went to Anne's ranch to play, and even from time to time, people even wanted to visit her house or drink a cup of hot tea, so she couldn't sleep well, so she had to get up early and flee to the hot springs to play with them. But apart from that, they don't know how this little guy spends winter at home on weekdays.

"What else can it be done, that's it~!"

(ˉ▽￣￞￞)~~

"After waking up, I stay by the fireplace every day. There seems to be nothing to do except add some firewood to the fireplace from time to time, watch the boring TV in the warm house, drink hot chocolate, and try to make something delicious for myself..."

╮(╯▽╰)╭

After spreading his hands, Anne said that the winter in this ore town is not fun at all. Every day, she just eats, sleeps, and eats, and occasionally bullies Tibers. There is really nothing else. She lives a happy life like a rotten house.

"Fortunately, there is Tebers at home who can talk and make some cooking, otherwise they will be bored!!"

(′～`●)

Yes, it's just fun!

During this boring time, it was rare that Anne learned some simple dishes based on the uninformed books Mary provided her, such as koji balls, roasted chicken, porridge, udon, moon-watching meatballs, curry udon, chocolate udon, ordinary udon, mushroom rice, curry bread, toast, apple sauce, apple roast, pickled radish, juice, vegetable juice, curry rice and so on, etc. She was almost forced into a chef by boring days!

So, she has been thinking recently that if there is nothing fun or big festival in the winter of Ore Town, maybe she should leave this world and go to other worlds to visit. In the future, when she has time or remembers, she will return to this interesting Ore Town and her ranch like a paradise?

Of course, it may not be necessary if she will have these acquaintances when she comes back in the future, or if the ranch is still from her family.

but……

Now she hasn't finally made up her mind, so she hasn't talked to the young ladies in front of her for the time being, nor has she thought about when to say goodbye to them or tell them something.

“??”

"It turns out to be that way. Anne, you are so happy. Don't you have to work?"

Mary asked strangely, she couldn't imagine that the ranch would become so relaxed in the hands of this little guy.

“Ha~?!”

"What kind of work does she do? Mary, you don't know that there are a group of slave-like dwarves in her family. She is a vicious slave owner. She doesn't know what she did to them, and she actually made them so honest and obedient. She also went to the ranch on time to help at 6 o'clock in the morning, and then left until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. She didn't mention how relaxed she was!"

‘That’s it!”

"I have to help the store deliver goods every day. Although it is easier to sell the seeds of winter crops, some daily groceries still have to be sold. Sometimes they have to deliver goods from door to door to door in the heavy snow, which is really annoying..."

"Hmph! Kalian, you're pretty good now!"

"I'm so busy compared to her or you! Winter is the most lively time of the bar. Every day after going to the hot spring, I'm going to be called by my father Dart to entertain the guests who stay in the bar all day and wipe the tables that will never be clean. Sometimes I have to help with the cooking. When I lie on the bed at the end of the day, I'm so tired that I don't even want to move my fingers."

"That's so miserable?"

"you do not say!"

“…”

"What about you, Ellie?"

"I?"

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

"Where are you, Mary?"

"The same is true for me. The library is quite warm when it is closed. I read and write about mine every day. I am writing a book about the adventures of the back mountain of the puppy related to Tibers. I think that will definitely be welcome."

"Tibers? Are you writing it?!"

The girls first glanced at a puppy lying on a hot spring rock, and then looked at Mary with incredible eyes.

"Oh my God!"

"Forget it, Mary, you know that it is as lazy as its little owner, and no one will like it!"

"You're right, Mary, you might as well write about me!"

"Ha ha……"

"Hello!"

"Perbley, you haven't talked about you yet!"

"Me? I'm almost the same as everyone else, I'm quite busy in winter..."

"Every day after going home after taking the hot spring, I have to go to feed my brother the chickens. Because you all know that my mother is in poor health and can't do any heavy work. My father has not come back yet when he goes out to find medicine for her mother, so I'm really a little worried. What should my mother do if I leave the ore town? My brother doesn't know if he can come over alone?"

"after……"

"I'm likely to be back in summer. Maybe that's why my brother doesn't like Kay a lot? He doesn't want me to go to the outside city. He's afraid that I'll never come back if I go out..."

In this way, the few of them were bathing in the hot spring while chatting about trivial matters. After each of them talked about some of their worries, Perbuli talked casually and lowered his head, obviously he was struggling with something that made her feel very distressed recently.

“!!”

"No, Perbuley, have you and Kay developed to that level? He proposed to you?!"

"ah!"

"Perbley, tell us?"

"Hmm? Say it quickly!"

Hearing Perbley say that, Carlin, Ellie, Lin and Mary looked at each other in shock, then surrounded the woman with big ass and asked in a chattering question. It was obvious that the gossip soul was burning.

“??”

|?˙?˙)?

When Xiao Annie thought it was something interesting, she saw the people performing like this, and curiously swam directly towards the people in a dog-style swimming posture.

(…)

_(′?`”∠)_

(And the hot spring brought by his little master, Tibers is still lying softly on the pebbles beside the warm hot spring, and he doesn't mind the smooth female humans at all, nor does he go to see more... Because it knows that Mr. Xiong's self-control is not too strong. It cannot guarantee that if he sees too much, he will suddenly pounce on him at some point, and then bite a few pieces of white and delicious meat from the abominable female humans, and eat it directly in the hot spring?)

"Ah~?"

"Don't make trouble now! I said, isn't it okay?"

"that……"

"Actually, it's nothing. I think Kai Yi is pretty good, so I'm going to reply and promise to be his girlfriend! However, he said he wanted to invite me to visit the big cities outside and see his parents, but I haven't made a decision yet!"

"How about Karen, what about you? My brother Karen took a bottle of wine from my father to make an appointment with you last time, and then he came back very late that day. Could it be that you are about to become my sister-in-law?"

"If you get married soon, I will definitely be able to go and see the outside world with Kai! "

Seeing that everyone seemed to have the intention of breaking the casserole to ask the truth, in order to divert the firepower, Perbuli, who was a little embarrassed, hurriedly turned everyone's attention to Karen.

"I?"

"I don't know... Anyway, Perbuli, your brother is too old-fashioned and has a low alcohol tolerance. I drank it down after just a few o'clock that night, so I was thinking... It's still early anyway, let's do it in the past two years~!"

After thinking about it, Karen, who was sitting in the hot spring holding his white arms and holding his bulging chest to avoid exposure, he hesitated for a while before he generously and coolly gave Perbuli a bad news that was not good or bad.

Of course, it may be that she has recognized Rick, but because her arrogant attribute is causing trouble, she is still hesitating?

‘Where are you? What about you and Cliff?’

'ah!'

‘Where is the progress? Cliff has been wandering around, and seems to have run away from home, and he refuses to talk about his own family situation. In addition, he is inferior, so his father has always been a little disliked him a little. Although he has no explicit objection, he has no support...’

'Why!'

'That's really a problem. Lin, you should have listened to me before. Before Anne came to Mining Town, she should have Cliff take over the ranch. If there was a farm there, she might not have so many worries at this time.'

'I advised him, but you don't know his character. He always said that he couldn't control the pastures well and refused to take over them. He only knew to hide in the church...'

'never mind!'

‘I won’t talk about him anymore, where are you, Mary? Gray still reads books every day... Oh no, is he still visiting you every day?’

'You misunderstood, Gray really likes reading...'

‘Hey! That’s not necessarily right?’

‘We heard what he said, what was that name... I remembered it, it seemed that there was Yan Ruyu in the book and Little Mary in the book?’
