Today is a good day, the weather is clear, and occasionally a few clouds hang in the sky, but it just blocks the slightly dazzling sunset that shines on Anne's ranch, allowing some troubled little girl to continue to sway in her large yard.

Anyway, little Annie won't tell anyone that the cloud in the sky that was so dying that she happened to block the sunlight from the pasture was the one she brought up!

"Hmm, um..."

??(′??)???

Yes, Anne was in her pasture, swinging under the apple tree, patiently waiting for a certain unemployed Zach who had recovered from his injury to come to collect the goods, and took out the fish that she had only gotten back in the middle of the night, and settled the payment she deserved as soon as possible, because she would use that large sum of money tomorrow.

Buzz...

~"~"~"

Buzzing...

"~"~"~"~"

Next to Anne's swing, the huge and conspicuous beehive was still hanging on the trunk, and then the hardworking little bees were buzzing in and out, but they had no intention of attacking her, the culprit who had snatched their honey.

“…”

o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o

Anne had no intention of being afraid of them, because she knew that as long as she didn't go to dig their nests, they would definitely not cause trouble for her, nor would they stung her, and she was very experienced in this.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if you really dig their nests. As long as she runs fast enough, she will definitely not be unlucky. She will not be like some stupid big man, even though she knows there is danger, she will still run under the tree to sway!

‘!!’

‘Hey! Little guy!’

‘??’

‘Annie, what’s wrong? Don’t you have to work today? This is the first day of spring... It seems to be the tenth? But look at you, why is your ranch still like this without any change? Can’t you go and work harder?’

‘We originally thought we could eat fresh vegetables produced in your ranch this season…’

At this time, just as Anne was swinging comfortably under her apple tree, a guy in a uniform and tie waved at her from a distance, and walked towards her, pointing to the large area of ​​the pasture that was still deserted and weeds higher than people, complaining to her angrily.

“Eh?”

ヽ(゜Q.)ノ?

Obviously, the guy who was walking over was Mr. Harris, the only police officer in the ore town.

“…”

??(??￣?￣)?????

After hearing the other person's words, Annie was angry and ignored going to the other person. She was still circling back and forth on her swing. She just watched the other person step by step towards her and stopped in front of her. Then she looked up at the other person in confusion and said:

"But……"

(?′?.??`?)

"Harris, if you want to eat vegetables, you can come here to grow it yourself. People are welcome to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing! Moreover, the tools are placed in the cow pen over there. You can get whatever you need. You can plant as much as you want. If you plant more, you can sell it for money!"

(*≧▽≦)??))

Yes, this is Anne's truth!

She really doesn't mind someone coming to help her farm, even if she takes over all her land, it doesn't matter. Anyway, she definitely won't mind.

"Well……"

“I don’t know how to plant…”

Harris really can't farm because he graduated from police officers' school, not agricultural college!

Besides, if he wanted to plant it, with his relationship with the mayor Thomas, he would have been able to let the mayor transfer the farm to his Harris' name long ago. How could he have to wait until the little guy in front of him come to take such a big advantage in vain?

In fact, no one in the entire ore town has that idea, because the residents of the ore town have their own lifestyle and rhythm, and no one would ask for trouble to occupy such a ranch, otherwise it would not have been abandoned for so many years.

“…”

(lll￢▽￢)

"Then do you think that people are still so young, can they grow them?!"

~(′?︵?`)~

Annie has her plan. Before she renovates the house, it is useless for anyone to let her farm. She is now trying to let them continue to be abandoned here like this. Whoever is unhappy will plant it, and she will definitely not stop her.

"ah……"

"Okay, I'm sorry Anne, I shouldn't be so anxious to urge you. It's really unreasonable to let such a little guy do that kind of thing now..."

After pausing for a while, Harris, who thought it was indeed so reasonable, had to smile embarrassedly and touch the back of his head awkwardly, feeling that he was indeed a little unreasonable just now, and he shouldn't be so impatient or too harsh on such a little guy.

After all, everyone in their Mineral Town knew about it. The little guy in front of him was really just an eight-year-old girl. At the beginning, Mayor Thomas was too anxious and thought that the other party came with his family, so he hurriedly gave the ranch to the other party. But as a result... Now, since the other party can support himself and make a lot of money, it is really amazing. Their requirements should not be too high.

"I don't care about it. The police officer who likes patrolling hot springs is bad..."

(??ω??)

“!!”

"Annie! I must correct you: I am routine and a normal behavior in patrolling hot springs, not as you imagined!"

The police officer Harris, who had originally planned to leave after a few greetings, was so scared that he was shocked when he heard that Little Anne said that, and quickly turned back, stared at the eyes of a little guy who was still swaying on the swing and said with a fright.

That is not a trivial matter, but it is related to his reputation as Officer Harris. He must correct the other party in time. He cannot let the other party form that concept and then spread it randomly in the town. Otherwise, once the other party is intentionally or unintentionally, once that kind of thing happens and is heard by others, he will be really finished!!

"What do people think of it?"

(???.???)??????

Anne blinked, looking innocent.

Because she just said something casually, but she didn't think about anything. How could the other party know what she was thinking?

"That's it!"

He gritted his teeth secretly, but Harris, who was not easy to explain such a little girl, had to glar at him hatefully. He knew that this cunning little guy knew what he was referring to.

"Oh! You mean you were going to peek at Miss Perble and the others in the hot springs, right?"

|???ω??)???

"Don't worry, Harris, people will definitely not tell others the kind of bad things you have done!"

?(?????????)????????

After blinking again, Annie slowly stopped the swing before nodding as she understood, then waved her small fists to the other party and agreed loudly.

“??”

"No!"

"This is not right! If you say it doesn't matter to me, I have never done that at all! You don't need your guarantee!!"

"Damn it, you!!"

Harris was a little angry, but when he saw Zach appearing at the gate of the ranch in the distance, he was worried that the other party would accidentally hear a few words and cause more misunderstandings, he could only glar at a little girl again in anger before hurriedly stopping the topic and stride towards the gate of the ranch to the north.

He decided: when he came back from patrol, he would never pass through the other party's farm and return to the town, but would continue to go back from the cottage in Gotz and the path in front of the logging farm, and from the intersection in the east! Although that might be a little farther away, he might be more willing to take that long distance than encountering such a difficult little guy every day?

'ah!'

‘Hello, Harris!’

‘Hello, Zach…your hands are back, can you work properly?’

‘Yes! Dort said I can work now.’

'That's good, don't get hurt anymore, otherwise our town will be in chaos. You may not know that Uncle Muqi and Aunt Mana have complained to me many times, saying that there have been major problems in the logistics of our town recently and that the goods have not been shipped in time?'

‘Ah! Harris, I’m sorry, but I really didn’t mean it…’

'You don't have to apologize to me. I don't care about this, I just remind you... But as long as you work hard, there should be no problem. I understand you very well, because that little guy is really a bit difficult?'

‘Ah! Thank you, Harris…’

‘No need, so let’s find some time to go to Dart for a good drink?’

'good!'

‘Then that’s it.’

The two met and greeted each other for a while and then separated soon after. After all, they all had their own jobs. They were not like a little girl, who could eat, drink and have fun every day, or sleep until the afternoon, and then wake up and play swings in the ranch.

“Hi~!”

?(?ˉ??ˉ?)?

"Hello, big Uncle Zach! You're finally here, I've been waiting for you all day!"

(??ω??)

Yes, Anne is waiting in her dream...

But no matter what, seeing Uncle Zach, a shipping agent whom she had been waiting for for a long time, finally appearing on time at 17:00 this afternoon, Annie hurriedly jumped off the swing and greeted the other party.

"You are okay, Annie..."

"By the way, your bees... they didn't riot today, right?"

However, Zach did not rush to the shipment box and start shipping and inventorying, but stood there and hesitated to look at the apple tree where Annie had just swinged, for fear that some terrifying group of black shadows formed by small things that would buzz.

"Of course not! I didn't eat honey today~!"

?(ˊ▽ˋ*)?

Annie is not stupid, so how could she play the boring game of bee stinging people with her every day? Because she knew that the same method of slapping people would definitely not work if she did it again.
