The next day, early in the morning.

?

The weather is very good today. Although the sun has not risen yet, looking at the weather and clouds, I know that next is definitely a sunny day, which is a good day for adventure and investigation on the island.

The good weather naturally gave Lucy a good mood, making Lucy feel that things today are likely to go smoothly and will make them receive unexpectedly. Then, it won’t take long to complete the S-level commission and successfully make a fortune and then happily take a boat back to Harrogion.

However……

The only thing that made her a little upset today was that she still couldn't get that troubled little guy up at six o'clock in the morning at the end!

She tried her best but couldn't do anything and didn't want to take the other party to explore and investigate, so she finally had to abandon the other party in the house, allowing the other party to continue to sleep, and then grabbed Natsu, Gray, and the three guys who were following behind who were even more likely to scream.

Anyway, in Lucy's opinion, this S-level mission is just to investigate and resolve curses, and it is more about testing wisdom and patience, and there is no need to fight or something. So, if a little guy who only causes trouble doesn't get up, then don't get up!

If at that time, if you investigate clearly or think of other ways to solve the curse, you don’t have to give her money anymore. If you can’t envy the annoying little guy who knows how to sleep in!

‘…’

'Hello!'

‘Lucy, isn’t it a little too early to get up now?’

'yes……'

‘The genius just dawned...’

‘Woo…’

‘Habbi wants to sleep for two more hours…’

Gray, Natsu and Habi, who were tortured by some terrible Lucy, had to get up early, even though they had already reached the entrance of the village, they were still a little shaky and confused, and they couldn't lift up any energy. They formed an extremely sharp contrast with the Lucy who was full of energy and full of energy in front of them.

"snort!"

"Shut up!"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"I tell you, the longer I stay on this island, the greater the chance of being cursed and mutated. I felt a little scared when I stayed overnight last night!"

"Think about it, how terrible it would be if a charming and cute girl like me, with smooth, white and delicate skin like me suddenly develops ugly sarcoma, or is full of scales and horns?"

As he was talking, Lucy couldn't help but shivered, then quickly shook her head and quickly threw away the bad idea just now. She was not ready to think about such terrifying possibilities for the time being.

"so!"

"We don't have much time left. Today... or tomorrow at the latest. If we can't find the cause and find a feasible solution to the curse, we will leave here quickly and give up this task. Don't be too late for a moment!"

"You all understand, right?"

"alright!"

"Everyone is cheered up, let's go now!!"

Lucy was just cheering up and leading the way in front, but despite the mobilization, Natsu, Gray and the cat star Harby behind her were not very interested.

'yes……'

'OK……'

‘…’

The two followed weakly, but soon, one of them suddenly discovered something wrong.

“Huh?”

Finally, after walking for a while, Natsu suddenly felt that there seemed to be a little guy who was always surrounded by the milk fragrance of various snacks or cakes in his companions?

"Hello!"

"Where is Lucy, where is Anne, didn't she come with her?"

So, he looked around and back in confusion, and soon, he found that a little guy was not in the team, so he asked Lucy, who was leading the way in a strange way.

'Why?'

‘Yes! Hubby didn’t notice Anne was following…’

‘Where has she been?’

‘??’

'laugh!'

‘No need to watch, she hasn’t gotten up yet!’

As Haby's scream, Gray soon curled his lips and added contemptuously at Natsu and Haby's two big-hearted and slow-responsive guys.

Thinking about it, everyone sleeps in a house with a large tent style. The two guys have not yet found that there is one missing person in the team after walking out of the village for a long time. Gray definitely doesn't understand where the middle nerve reflex is reflected.

“!!”

"Lucy? Are we not taking Anne?!"

After discovering that Anne was indeed not here, Natsu exclaimed in surprise after hearing Gray's words again.

"Not bring it!"

"Anyway, it's just investigating the specific reason of the curse, and there's no need to fight. When she comes, she will only cause trouble. Let her continue to sleep!"

Lucy said a little hatefully.

Anyway, she wouldn't say that she really couldn't drag the other party up, and she didn't want to waste time in the house, so she had no choice but to compromise and let the other party continue to sleep.

'ah!'

‘Since it’s an investigation…then, let’s go back and have a sleep, right?’

‘Agree!’

‘I'll go too…’

Hearing Lucy say that, Natsu took the lead and was ready to turn around and go back to sleep with Harby. Gray also felt that it was too early to work now, so he planned to go back with him.

“!!”

"You all stop for me!"

"hateful!"

"You guys, you are no longer children. Hurry up and cheer me up and go to work with me!"

“Really…”

"It's useless to complain. You chose this task. Who can you blame now?"

‘Come on!’

"Whoever dares to go back will be dead!!"

After playing and threatening, Lucy finally tamed three guys who were about to give up as soon as he left the house, and then watched with a cold face all the way, escorting the three reluctant guys to explore the depths of Karna Island.

?

The sun gradually rose...

At this time, when Lucy, Gray, Natsu and Harby were trying to investigate deep in the island, a bad little girl was indeed sleeping like Lucy said before, in the house where they were resting last night, covering her head.

“…”

?(?[▓▓]…zzZ

Anyway, no matter what, eating, sleeping and playing are the top priority in the heart of a bad little girl. Before eating, sleeping enough, and getting bored, no matter what other things are, as long as they don’t affect the above three important things, they can stand aside for the time being.

As for whether others will arrange or say bad things in private, she won’t care!

'grumble!'

‘Jiji!!’

..∑^){=...

Outside the window, those strange birds who were also influenced by curses, such as crows with three feet, phoenixes with four wings, and birds with six eyes and rat tails, were chirping and shouting on the tree heads outside, and from time to time, one or two fell on the windowsill. They watched curiously as the sun gradually rose and were unwilling to get up. After a "lazy man" who was destined to be without insects, it took a while before they flapped their wings and flew away slowly.

for a long time……

I don’t know how many hours have passed. Anyway, when the long sunlight shining from the window to the house gradually shrinks and becomes shorter, until it is hanging high in the middle of the sky, and can no longer shine in the house, and the temperature gradually becomes hot, finally, it is rare that a small little head with a hint of confusion is exposed from the quilt.

“…”

?_?

"I'm still a little sleepy..."

(っ?-?)

"Ah~!"

?(?′0`?)?

Anne sat up and stretched her waist wide.

Originally she could have had a little more sleep, but... now she was hungry, so she had to choose one between getting up and eating and continuing to sleep.

And now, she obviously plans to get up and find food first, and then wait until she has enough, if the situation allows, she will continue to sleep after a meal?

(…)

(￢?￢.)

“…”

(?ˊ????)???

"It's strange..."

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

"Where are Lucy and Natsu and the others? Did they go to have a meal?"

Σ(°△°|||)︴

After scratching his head, he found that the house was empty, and Lucy and Natsu's beds were already empty, but his luggage and other things were left inside, but the only one was gone, Annie couldn't help but scratch her head. I wonder if those people were really secretly running to eat with her on their backs.

However, she was not very confused about that kind of thing, but instead got up and ran to the bathroom to wash up, and finally pushed open the door of the house in the afternoon.

"Alas!"

|?'-'?)?

“It doesn’t seem to be outside either…”

(′?︵?`)

“…”

(?~?)

"Damn it! I didn't even ask people, Lucy and the others, could they really go to eat something delicious, right?"

(?ε?')

When he walked outside the house, he wandered around the village for two times. After seeing the villagers who were eroded by magic due to the "curse" and were busy with their respective duties, and without seeing any of Lucy or Natsu, Anne became a little impatient.

"never mind!"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Let's just ignore them! Tibers, let's find some food first!"

o(′▽｀)o =3 =3 =3

Anyway, Annie has already looked for it, so she really can't blame her if she can't find it now. So, she was going to go to the yard of the villager's house she just passed by to see if the seemingly delicious baked seafood that the other person was dealing with could sell some of her to try?

As for Lucy and the others...

That kind of thing doesn't matter. Anyway, when she eats and drinks, and when she thinks about it again, if they still haven't come back, she will definitely go out to find them!

"That's it!!"

|???▽??)???

"Ahhh! It smells so good, it must taste delicious!"

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

Following the smell, Anne quickly found the villager's house that was doing a barbecue party, and then cheered directly, cheered uninvitedly and rushed to the other party's yard.

(…)

ε=(′?●))) Alas

(As sure, Tibers knew that this would be the case...but it was used to it. As for some unlucky guys, I just hope they can hold on and don't die too quickly before the miserable little master of his family remembers it?)

"Hello you guys!"

?(?^o^?)?

"The barbecue you make looks delicious. If you eat a little bit of it, you must not mind, right?"

?(????)?

"Don't worry!"

o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o

"After eating, I will pay you a reward!!"

(?￣?￣?)Hehe!

Anne sat directly next to the barbecue grill at the other party's house without any politeness, and leaned over her nose to sniff it hard again. Without waiting for the other party to respond, she picked up one of the strings and ate them.

"Uh-huh!"

(￣～￣) Chew!

"Wow!!"

?(?ˉ??ˉ?) Very delicious?

"I'm welcome!!"

ψ('?')ψ

Amid the villagers' eyes, a bad little girl started to eat at her own expense.

"ah!"

"that……"

"You're the little girl who came with the entrusted fairy tail magicians, right?"

After seeing that little Annie had eaten the third skewers, one of the villagers with a horn on his head hesitated for a while. After looking at Annie who was not at all and a plush toy bear with the "Demon Tail" emblem on his belly sitting on Annie's shoulder, he asked hesitantly.

"Uh-huh!"

(*^-^)

“Yes!!”

(,,??????,,)

"It's really you!"

"That's great. Since we are here to help us solve the curse, we certainly welcome it!"

"bring it on!"

"Eat more, as for the reward, it's just seafood in the sea anyway, and you can easily pick it up on the beach. As long as your companions can really help us lift the curse, it's okay to eat as much as you eat!"

After finding out that the little girl was indeed a companion brought by the wizard, the villager with a horn on his head smiled and continued to be busy next to the charcoal rack. At the same time, he also called on the friends who looked strange like him to come and enjoy it.

"Don't worry, uncle!"

(*^▽^*)

"After they eat, they will definitely help you solve the curse problem as soon as possible!!"

?(ψ｀▽′)o

Anne dared to guarantee this in the name of Tibers!

Because, for these kind-hearted people who enthusiastically invite her to eat delicious food, she is usually willing to do a little favor to them without hesitation.

Of course, the premise is... after she has enough food and drink?

(…)

(lll￢?￢)

‘You little guy?’

‘Forget it…’

‘If those of your companions can really solve the curse, we will be grateful.’

'Ha ha!'

‘That’s right!’

‘Come on, little guy, try this?’

The villagers present burst into laughter.

Obviously, they didn't think the little guy in front of them could help them. They felt that the little girl was at most just a family member brought by those irresponsible magicians. Because she was not capable of fighting, she was stranded in the village?

Anyway, it must be that way.

“…”

(￣～￣) Chew!

Anne didn't care about their words, nor did she have time to explain, because she was eating delicious food now, and her mouth was slowly delicious, and she didn't have time to say more.

‘By the way!’

‘Little guy, aren’t you afraid of us?’

Everyone ate for a while while talking and laughing. At this time, a weird man with bumps on his face, looking like a pineapple head suddenly came over with a "smile" and asked Anne, and opened his mouth to reveal his sharp teeth.

"Not afraid!"

??(′??)???

‘!!’

‘Why not afraid?’

Another villager with a hedgehog-like spike on his chin and head also came over and asked strangely.

"Because..."

(??ω??)

"There are many guys who are uglier, ugly and more annoying than you weird guys!"

(????-)?

Anne didn't care about the self-esteem of the villagers of Karna Island who invited her to barbecue in front of her, and just told the truth so carelessly.

In fact, it is the same. For Little Annie, who has been to many worlds and has seen all kinds of monsters, the monsters in front of her are pretty good, and she is still within her acceptance range. At least she is not the kind of guy who can directly affect her appetite, so she has nothing to be afraid of.

Actually, strictly speaking, this world, or in countless other world planes, seems to have really nothing that Anne is afraid of so far.

(…)

(●￣(?)￣●)

‘More, uglier?’

'this……'

‘You little guy, are you so comforting?’

‘Okay OK!’

‘Dear, eat, it’s rare that she is not afraid of us, so don’t ask so much...’

'well……'

‘Come on, enjoy it together!’

‘There is enough for us to eat until the evening!’

‘These skewers are ready, who wants them?’

"I want one... no, two strings!!"

ヾ(⌒?⌒*)?

Soon, the group of men and women who looked more miserable and more creepy, and those who were like demons dancing around the charcoal stove and the rows of seafood barbecue on it, and they started chatting with a little girl who had completely forgotten the main business and knew how to eat, and who was also smart and cute, and they started to eat and chat while talking and laughing.
