"La la la~?!"
??(′?｀?)???
It was approaching noon, and Annie was skipping happily alone on the road in Ore Town, walking towards the northeast corner of the town's church...
Today is the 6th of summer. All the things Annie planted have sprouted and are growing at a rate several times faster than in other normal worlds. This makes Annie very happy and gratified!
However, apart from being happy, Annie also has some little troubles! Because she doesn't seem to have much time to take care of those large crops, such as watering, watering, or watering?
Anyway, that kind of thing is just annoying, at least in her opinion!
Because, after all, Anne is not willful enough to use magic to make it rain every day in Ore Town just to avoid watering. After all, that is always not good and wrong... Not only will it make the 'goddess' Or some other nonsense, see something wrong or make an opinion, and more importantly: the crops watered by rain do not seem to taste better than those watered by hot springs?
So, she squandered a lot of money again, and suddenly asked Uncle Zac to use the channel that used to divert hot spring water from the previous bathroom to use bamboo to lure her to the cooling hot springs from the back mountain, and then began to build a half on the entire farmland. The automated hot spring watering system uses rows of bamboo tubes to divert water, and then drips it onto each crop. In this way, when watering is needed, Annie only needs to turn it on on time when she goes to the hot spring to play. Water diversion switch, just remember to turn it off when you leave.
However, although the same pipe that used to divert water from the bathroom can be used, the project of building a shelf on the field is not a small one. Even if it is carried on the farmland with easy-to-process bamboo, such a large farmland still requires Uncle Gotz. It had been busy for more than ten days, and before that, Annie still had to find ways to take care of the crops and water them, so she had to think of other ways.
And now, she is on her way to find a solution!
Yes, she found a way!
Because her little sisters, I don’t know who they are specifically. It might be Lin, it might be Popley, and of course it might be Karen or Mary? Anyway, one day in the spring, Anne learned a very important piece of news from those guys, and that was:
There is a path to the right of the church in Ore Town? Follow that path to the north of Ore Town. When you go to the woods in the mountains to the north, you will find a small wooden house. In the wooden house, there are seven people wearing different clothes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple. Dwarfs in colored clothes? If you can have a good relationship with them, you can let them come to the ranch to help with work for free, such as taking care of small animals, taking care of crops, etc.?
Originally, Annie didn't take this matter too seriously because she hadn't planted anything before, and she never thought that watering the plants would be so troublesome, nor did she expect that no one in the entire Ore Town would be willing to come. Helping her with farm work... So, there was no other way? She had no choice but to focus on those dwarfs.
"!!"
"Aha! Little Annie, how about you finally coming to church? What do you want to do today? Is it to pray?"
However, before Annie could find the path, she was stopped by an old man in black.
"If that's the case? Then you came at the right time!"
"But you can go to the church first and wait? Although the time has not yet come, Cliff, Lin, and others are waiting inside. If I see no more people coming later, I will definitely He will go in and lead you to pray to God together.”
It is rare to be the priest of Ore Town, that is, the one who likes to tell stories, especially ghost stories that scare children, but he also likes children very much, his own personality is very similar to children, and he often sleeps in the confessional. Carter was waiting. When he saw Anne walking toward the church door in a rare sight, he hurriedly greeted her with a smile and welcomed her.
"prayer?"
∑(′△｀)? !
Anne didn't know why the other party was suddenly so happy and welcomed her so warmly, but she still stopped and looked at the strange man in black clothes and a black hat in front of her for a while and then hurriedly moved away. He started to explain:
"Well, Uncle Rat..."
(′～`●)
"You got it wrong. I didn't actually come to church to pray today!!"
?(???*)
Anne knew what prayer meant. It probably meant taking the initiative to communicate with supernatural forces or existences, to praise, pray, repent, or just express one's thoughts or wishes?
However, for Anne herself to be a being with supernatural power, for her existence itself to be an extraordinary person far beyond the world, to this day, she really cannot find someone stronger than her. , Therefore, there is definitely no existence that can withstand her prayers, and she does not need to go to church to pray at all!
"Then you...are you here to confess?"
"If so, maybe you'd better come back in the afternoon, because churches in our small town usually pray and sing in the morning, and confession is in the afternoon..."
"But if you have time, Anne, I still suggest that you should pray and sing with us. In that case, God can forgive you faster when you repent?"
Father Carter remembered some bad rumors about the little girl in front of him, so he thought that the other party might be here to confess. After being a little surprised, he quickly explained with a little embarrassment that when he came to the church for activities some notes.
"Repent..."
(??ω?)o
"It sounds like a lot of fun... But I don't have time to repent now. In fact, I plan to go find the dwarfs to play today! So, goodbye Carter, I'll go find those dwarfs first. People are having fun and will come to you to confess when they come back later!"
(????-)?
"Goodbye~!!"
ヾ(￣▽￣)Bye~Bye~
After saying that, Annie stopped talking nonsense to the other party, turned around, and turned right towards the path inside the church in Ore Town. After bypassing the church, she went directly into the dense forest to the north of Ore Town. .
'etc! '
'Annie? Anne! '
'Hello……'
Carter behind him seemed to want to say something, but unfortunately, little Annie, who had already made plans, just wanted to see those magical dwarfs quickly. As for the nagging Uncle Carter, she was not in a hurry. Let’s take care of it!
…
?"..."
|?'-'?)??Bang! boom!
There were not many surprises. The dwarf cabin in the woods behind the church was easy to find. Anyway, after Annie walked forward and wandered along the forest path where she would never get lost, she succeeded in less than half an hour. I found the small room that looked small from the outside, but seemed to have some kind of space magic cast on the inside. After knocking on the door, I pushed it open and walked in.
"Um, is anyone here?"
|?˙?˙)Hello?
Then, sure enough, when Anne went in, she saw seven little ones in the house who were wearing pajamas and nightcap-like clothes, but the colors were different, and their height was probably only half of Anne's height.
There is no doubt that they must be the dwarves with magic and helpfulness that the residents of Ore Town have said.
'ah! '
'Hello! '
'This is the first time I've seen you here. I guess you are the one named Annie, right? '
'My name is Aqua, please take care of me! '
From the moment Anne walked directly into the cabin, after the initial surprise, the dwarf in blue pajamas and nightcap took the lead and came forward enthusiastically. Obviously, the other party's temperament seemed to be relatively good, so even when he saw Anne, a stranger, arriving, he was very enthusiastic.
Of course, in addition to it, other dwarfs also expressed some concern about Annie's arrival to a greater or lesser extent.
'Um? '
'I really haven't seen you here before. Aqua is right. You should be Annie, the new little girl in Ore Town. I heard that you have done a lot of bad things, right? '
'Anyway, my name is Guli Di, please take care of me...'
The other dwarf, who was wearing yellow pajamas and a nightcap, had a much colder attitude. He first looked at Annie from behind the blue dwarf, Aqua, and then just said so coldly. He said hello, then turned around and went about his own business without waiting for Annie's reaction.
Obviously, he would not like to see a little girl who is a stranger come to visit, and it seems that she does not bring some kind of gift that they like.
'welcome! '
'So you are that Anne. I have heard a lot about you. They mentioned it when they came to visit us. My name is Zhuoqak. Could you please give me some advice? '
The dwarf named Zhuoqak, who was wearing dark blue clothes, seemed to like little Annie quite a bit, and was not as cold as the Guli Di just now.
'snort! '
'He always looks like a suspicious guy, but he doesn't seem to be... Your name is Annie, right? My name is Bordeaux! '
'! ! '
'Bordeaux, please don't be so rude! Hello Annie, my name is Nappi, nice to meet you! If you are free in the future, you can come often, but if you can bring some gifts to see us, we will definitely be happier! '
'That's right! '
'Annie, today is the first time we meet. You don't have to be so polite. It doesn't matter if you don't have a gift. But just remember to bring me some wheat flour when you come next time. In fact, all of us like that very much. Gift! '
'By the way, my name is Xiefnian. Please give me your advice in the future. '
'...'
'Annie?' My name is Dimit. It’s your first time here. If you don’t bring me a gift in the future, I won’t talk to you again! '
Soon, the four dwarfs wearing red, green, orange and purple pajamas and nightcaps also came forward and greeted little Annie in friendly, cold or slightly hostile tones. .
"ah……"
=????('ヮ'三'ヮ'=????)
"Hello to all of you, yes, my name is Anne, Anne Hastur. Nice to meet you all..."
(^～^;)ゞ
Unexpectedly, she met such a group of weird guys, and some even asked for gifts. Even those who didn't directly ask for gifts more or less hinted at something. Anne scratched her head in embarrassment and said When it was finally his turn to speak, he introduced himself and said hello with a smile.
However……
Except for the dwarf in red, blue and dark blue clothes who was still surrounding her curiously and looking at her, the other four dwarfs, who were slightly cold or slightly hostile, had already walked aside. , were busy with their own affairs, and didn't even think about talking to her, a guy who came to the door without a gift?
"Hello!"
"Annie, you don't have to worry about them. We know each other now. So, what's the reason for you coming to our house?"
"By the way, would you like a cup of hot tea first?"
After introducing each other and getting to know each other, the little blue dwarf who was the first to greet Annie, the dwarf named Aqua, stepped forward and raised his head curiously and asked.
Although a certain little girl did not bring a gift, considering that the other party was a newcomer in Ore Town and might not really understand the rules of their dwarves, he did not act too snobbish and still welcomed her warmly. and receive each other.
Of course, it’s just this one time, it won’t happen next time! If the other party still doesn't bring any gifts when he comes to visit the seven brothers next time, then he won't be as enthusiastic as he is now.
"Hot tea?"
(?￣?￣)?
"It's better not to give it up..."
(^～^;)ゞ
"It's like this... I came here today because there is a lot of work in the ranch and it's too much for one person to do (I don't want to do it), so I heard them say you can help, so I came here looking for you to work on the ranch. ."
ヽ(⌒ω⌒)?
Although she might be a little embarrassed, in order to rest peacefully for a few more days and avoid raining for a few days, Annie directly stated the purpose of coming here.
Moreover, she doesn't have to let them work in vain. She can provide them with food, accommodation and a certain amount of wages!
"ah?"
"Sorry, I'm afraid that's not possible right now... I think if the relationship between us is a little better, maybe I can reluctantly go to the ranch to help you?"
"Anyway..."
"Hey, Zhuoqak has another year of rest, are you interested?"
It was okay if Annie didn't ask, but when she asked, the dwarf Aqua, who had been so pleasant just now, suddenly changed his face!
Then, after he directly rejected Anne's invitation, he turned to look at the other two dwarf brothers next to him, who were quite kind to little Anne, and asked with some embarrassment and sarcasm.
'! ! '
'No! I'm not going to do anyone any favors that we haven't had a tea party with, absolutely not! '
'I won't work for someone who refuses to give Drokak a gift...'
'Guli Di, what about you? '
'Tell her to go away! Guli Di doesn't like her! '
'snort! '
'Bordeaux will not forgive those who prevent the tea party from taking place, let alone those who want to take advantage of the dwarfs! Aqua, just drive her away, Bordeaux doesn’t want to see her again today! '
'Nappi doesn't like her very much either...'
'Dimit will definitely not help her until she has given him enough wheat flour. Let her go back and reflect on it! '
'let her go! '
'...'
Soon, to Anne's surprise, it was okay that she didn't mention that request. As soon as she raised it, the dwarfs started making a fuss and said they wanted wheat flour or something?
"..."
(￢д￢.)
"Really, don't you just want a gift?"
???(＿＿*)??
Bang! !
"Here! There are ninety-nine servings of wheat flour here, which is enough for you seven little ones. Now, can you go to the ranch to help others with farm work tomorrow?"
o(′^｀)ohum
Maybe it's because of a sense of shame, or maybe it's because of anger?
Anyway, when the dwarfs finally stopped quarreling and looked at her with unfriendly or helpless eyes, Annie was so angry that she directly used magic to move it from the storage box in her ranch house. A total of ninety-nine portions of wheat flour came, and then he threw the ninety-nine portions of wheat flour into the middle of the dwarf's hut. It was piled up like a hill, and the white wheat flour was also covered with it. Dust flying everywhere?
'! ! '
'Well, a lot of wheat flour...'
'But how could she do this? '
'that is! That's so rude, what do you think of us dwarves? '
'Kick her out! '
'right! Get out! But the wheat flour must stay! ! '
There is no doubt that Anne's arrogant and arrogant attitude of directly treating the dwarfs as tools or laborers must have completely angered them. Therefore, they all turned towards the dwarves with magic white light shining on their hands. They surrounded Anne, and it seemed that they really wanted to use force to drive her out?
Then the chaos and trampling caused more dry flour to fly out, so that a mist like mist began to fill the whole house.
"!!"
!? (?''??)?
"What are you guys doing? Do you want to fight? I'm not afraid of you!!"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o?
Seeing the dwarfs surrounding her aggressively, Anne took two steps back. With her stubborn temper, she subconsciously grabbed a ball of fire and prepared to fight these magical creatures who dared to disobey her, Queen Anne. A big fight?
However……
She seemed to have forgotten that the ninety-nine servings of wheat flour she just threw out seemed to have splashed out a lot, and many boxes were damaged in the chaos just now. In addition, the dwarf's wooden house also had a lot of space inside. It's not very big, so... the flour that filled the air had obviously reached a sufficient concentration, and coupled with the large ball of open flame that she, a bad little girl, grabbed directly when she encountered it...
"ah!!"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
In an instant, little Annie seemed to realize something was wrong, but was it still a little too late?
?
boom! ! !
After the shock wave and the fire, a violent explosion sounded. As white dust and fire splashed, the entire dwarf's wooden house was instantly blown to pieces, and then a thunderous sound was heard far away towards the Ore Town in the south. past!
'! ! '
'Grandpa Muqi, there seemed to be a loud noise coming from the mountains to the north just now. What was that? '
'Well......'
'It must have been thunder, right? '
'thunder? Is it going to rain? '
'should be......'
'Okay Mei, let's go back to our farm quickly. Our cattle and sheep are still outside. Don't let them get damaged by the rain! '
'Um! OK! '
Fortunately, it is summer when thunderstorms are common. Although thunderstorms are rare in dry weather, they are not too unusual. Therefore, the residents of Ore Town are not too surprised by this and are still busy with their own affairs. things.
