Time flies very quickly, and most half a month passes in the blink of an eye...

Anne's ranch is currently in good condition. Various crops in summer, the tomatoes, corn, onions, pumpkins and pineapples that have been planted have begun to be produced in batches, and even eggs, wool and milk have begun to produce small amounts. The ranch that Anne took over has finally received unanimous praise from most of the residents of the ore town!

Of course, it was actually all the credits of the hard-working elves and dwarves. Anyway, Anne has generously handed over all her work to them, even hoeing the ground and sowing them. She trustfully asked them to be fully responsible. She must have only eaten, drink, play and wandered around, and she didn't care much about the work in the ranch.

For example, now, because of the hot weather, she slipped to the beach again if she was not careful...

“!!”

!(;?o?)o

"I actually came here again. It seems that because the weather is too hot, my body instinctively wants to eat ice cream..."

?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?

"Forget it! I've come anyway, I'd better eat a little, right?"

o(′▽｀)o =3 =3 =3

That's right, just a little bit, about a few big bowls? And Annie promised that she really didn't mean to come to the beach to find cold drinks. She just walked around and accidentally left a little, and naturally came here.

"Is anyone here?"

|?˙?˙)Hello?

Looking at the door of the ice cream shop half-closed, Annie, who thought it was not yet open for business hours, quietly showed her half of her head and looked into the store. Then, soon, she found that there were two little brothers inside talking secretly.

‘Kay, is it done?’

'alright!'

‘Then try it for me quickly.’

‘Of course! You taste this first, and this one…’

‘!!’

‘It tastes so delicious…’

'Yeah?'

‘I'm glad you could say that, Gray?!’

‘I am very satisfied with your reception this time, Kay?…’

“…”

|??ω?`)?

I didn't know what the two of them were doing, and I looked at each other affectionately. Annie, who had no idea of ​​her arrival, thought about it and walked in gently.

The two of them were doing Anniko, because she seemed to have heard it just now, and they seemed to be eating something delicious. If that were the case, since she met it, she would definitely not miss it easily!

“Hmm?”

"Ah! It's Little Annie, are you here again? Welcome!"

"Well!"

"Hi~! Hello Annie..."

After seeing Anne stroll in with curious expressions, the two men who were talking secretly changed their faces, then took a step back and then greeted Anne before saying hello.

"strangeness……"

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

"What are you guys doing secretly hiding here? And? Brother Gray? Why are you here? Your face still looks so strange?"

☆?(o*?ω?)?

“!!”

"Ah? Is there anything strange about my face? No way?"

Gray subconsciously touched his face, but he soon came back to his senses? He retorted to the incidental little girl in front of him with some shyness:

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"What are you doing when Kay and I are not hiding here secretly? Is Kay asking me to try his craft and try his new dishes? So I came!"

Fortunately, they really didn't do anything just now? Otherwise, if they were hit by this little girl who was unstoppable and promoted it? Then they would be miserable!

"That's right!"

"I need to know the tastes of other people in the Ore Town. It just so happens that I have a good relationship with Gray, so I don't know who to ask for except for asking him for help."

"Just just now, I asked him to try a lot of new dishes? And I don't want people to see it? So I closed the door, not as sneaky as you said!"

Gray had just finished speaking, and the one standing next to him was standing at the counter? The owner of the Sea Family, who was still wearing a turban, also hurriedly explained.

"But Kay..."

"To be honest, you are a professional store, and your skills are really great? I like those new dishes just now? Regardless of whether I would improve it? The taste is a little lighter, I believe that I can definitely sell it for a big deal!"

"Also, it's summer now, everyone comes to the beach to have a trip. If there is a barbecue, it will definitely be better!"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you Gray. With your words, I know that the research has not been in vain for a while, and I will work hard to improve it!"

"It must be OK, Kay, you have to have confidence in yourself!"

"Of course! I will."

As they were talking, the two seemed to have forgotten the existence of a little guy who was a little shorter than the counter, and they started to laugh loudly, one by one.

“…”

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

"Hey! Is there really a new free thing to eat? Brother Kai, take it out quickly, and they can also taste it for you!"

?(????)?

Annie understood it. Maybe it was this little brother Kay who studied some new dishes or desserts, so she asked Grey to come here to taste it?

However, Annie said that there is no one in the entire Mining Town who has a better say than her. Even the big mouth, sausage lips, and pig-like foodie are not as good as the foodie, so it is absolutely right to ask her to taste it!

If she thinks it tastes good, others will definitely think it tastes good, so there is no need to look for Brother Gray who looks unreliable at all. Just look for her Queen Anne.

"ah?"

"Then, that won't work!"

"Annie, I only invited Gray, but didn't say I wanted to invite you! Moreover, I have already figured out your taste. You little guy likes to eat sweets, even ice cream with more jam and honey. Others may not like the taste you like."

For the little girl who has often come here to spend money to eat and drink since the beginning of summer, her "Sea Home" store opened, Kay has already figured out the other party's taste, and of course her wallet... So, knowing that the other party's opinions definitely cannot represent him in the entire Mining Town, he never thought about asking the other party to help try the dishes.

After all, the taste of a little girl is indeed not representative for other adults in Ore Town.

"By the way!"

"Little guy, your Teebos... that puppy, didn't follow you to me, right?"

Suddenly, Kai seemed to remember something important, so he hurriedly supported the counter and glanced out with some fearful eyes. After finding that some bad little girl was not following anything else, and did not bring the other party's terrible puppy, he finally felt relieved.

That's right, Kay really doesn't like dogs, and she's even a little scared!

For Kay, who only comes to the Ore Town to do business in summer, does not often appear locally, and does not go out for a walk often. For Kay, who is like a stranger in the Ore Town, he is definitely unlikely to like dogs!

Because no matter who owns the dog, they often chase him, yelled and barked. That was not a good experience for him, Kaiyi. So, even he became less fond of dogs!

Especially the little Annie's puppy, Tibers, seemed to be smarter and more cruel than ordinary dogs! He still remembered the time a few days ago, when he accidentally provoked it, and was chased by it for several streets with several dogs. Finally, he had to burst out potential and quickly climbed onto a tree, and was forced to stay on it for a long time before he was finally rescued under the patrol officer Harris...

"Teebos?"

(′???`)

"No, what's the matter with you looking for it? Do you need someone to call it now?"

?(⊙?⊙)?

Anne didn't know if her Tibers had any entanglement or holiday with the little brother Kay in front of her. She thought that the other party liked Tibers, so she planned to whistle and summon the other party.

“!!”

"No, no, no! Annie, don't! Never~!!"

What a joke, Anne's dog is barely relaxed if she doesn't have it here. If the other party often brings dogs to the beach and comes to his shop to make trouble, then should he do business?

"Then why do you ask it?"

\("▔□▔)/

“!!”

"It's very simple, because I'm afraid of it, I don't like all dogs. Are you satisfied with that?"

Kay replied with some annoyance. Anyway, no one or two people knew about the dogs being chased by them many times, so they didn't mind knowing that such a little guy knew about it.

"So that's how it is..."
