What is a fairy tale?

When we open a fairy tale book, when we touch the words on the page with our fingertips and whisper the names of the fairy tale characters, the fairy tale characters are really given the meaning of life and begin to move. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Thumbelina jumped on the haystack and was staggered by the breeze. The black-hearted queen tossed and turned in bed in the dead of night, wondering if she was going to ask the magic mirror who was the most beautiful woman in the world. Jack, who had planted the golden bean, looked at the ground with a discreet look, and he saw that the vines from the beans grew higher and higher until they broke through the sky......

Children, adults, see these fairy tale characters come alive, watch their stories, savor their joys and sorrows. After that, they will stretch, rub their eyes, and put the fairy tale book down.

"It's time to go to bed now......

And just like that, the moment the pages of the fairy tale book close, everything stopped. Thumbelina's expression stiffened on her face, and Snow White would lie in the crystal coffin forever, motionless, and there would be no prince to rescue her. And Jack would be on the vine that was stuck in the beans, looking at it with tired and excited eyes, curious about what was above the sky.

Yes, everything is still.

It's as if none of these stories exist - although they are fictional in the first place, fairy tale characters are always alive in people's eyes. But when people close the fairy tale books, there are no remnants of these fictional fairy tale characters left. They have lost the meaning of their existence, their souls have been withdrawn, and they remain in the book as an empty shell.

Of course, when people open the fairy tale book again, the fairy tale characters will move again. They still look alive, but they never say what they experienced or felt between the time they closed the page and the time they opened it.

I'm a fairy tale character. I'm Gretel in the candy house. After successfully freeing my brother from the witch's hands, my brother and I are finally living happily ever after. If it were written in the book, my brother and I should have been given a large fortune and lived peacefully with our parents. However, the fairy tale I am in is not the popular version that is widely circulated, and the fairy tale I am in is a little more realistic. After the witch was destroyed, my brother and I were not able to get any property, which seems to be due to the fact that the witch had many other relatives. Damn relatives, but it has happened, and there is nothing else that can be done. On the other hand, my brother and I have completely lost our hearts in our parents, so we are now two of us. Now that my brother's work in the club is getting better and better, my salary will increase step by step. I'm very young, but now the monthly salary I receive can support us.

That's amazing, brother.

Happiness is actually a very simple thing, I just need my brother to live well. At first, after I helped my brother get rid of the witch who wanted to eat me alive, I was a little worried. Because I've heard that the laws of this country prohibit me from doing this. It is true that some terrible-looking uncles have violently arrested me, but what hurts me even more is that those vicious uncles look at me with fearful eyes. I just did what I was supposed to do, so why be so surprised? But I soon figured out that they were afraid of getting dirt on me. In order to get rid of that witch, I also got the filth of that witch on my body. But don't worry, I've shaved off all the dirty fingers that touched the witch, and I'm not dirty at all.

After I explained this to them, they looked at me with a different sense of fear. I wasn't sent to the police station, or to a prison or anything like that, and I lived in the dark. Instead, I've been in the hospital ever since, and I've been able to see my brother every week. Although the cost of hospitalization may make my brother a little more happy, I feel that I am already very happy.

"I'm so happy...... I often sigh like this, and sometimes I think of my situation, and I still cry tears of joy. I knew I could get this far, thanks to that girl named Tokiki Kazeno. She taught me one thing.

I'm Gretel in the candy house.

I'm already Gretel in the candy house.

I can only be Gretel in the candy house.

But every time I was moved, my nurse sister, who always took care of me, would have a complicated look. It was a strange look of surprise, unbearability, and fear.

"Are you serious? Aren't you completely unable to move from the neck down? Even say that you are very happy? ”

"What's wrong with not being able to move? Isn't that normal? I smiled and said, "Because I'm Gretel in the candy house......"

The nurse looked at her completely incomprehensible, and I thought I was talking to her like a duck and a duck. However, she soon left in a hurry, because the hospital was short of staff and there were too many special patients to take care of them. Looking at the back of the nurse's departing sister, I smiled and muttered to myself.

"I'm Glitter in the candy house~"

That's right, I'm a character from a fairy tale. When people turn the pages, I play out my own story. And when people close the page, they don't move. To say strange, maybe a little strange. But I'm a fairy tale character after all. My story is over now, so it's normal to be still......

Suddenly, I heard the sound of small footsteps. Turning my head slightly to look at the calendar hanging on the wall, I realized that today was already that day.

To correct it a little, my story is not over yet.

With a knock on the door, the beige door of the ward was gently pushed open. The whole still, gray room suddenly became more vivid. As if I was infected, my face was no longer stiff and numb. I struggled to turn my head towards the door, and a smile naturally climbed the corners of my mouth.

It's my brother, standing at the door.

The open door was like the pages of a book, and it made me move again. I, Glitter in the Candy House, came to life again. And it was my favorite brother who gave me life. My brother and I are dependent on each other, and my brother and I are inseparable. Every time my brother saw me, he would look annoyed, and then walk up to me and kiss me on the forehead. And I will also show my most beautiful smile to my brother, listen to him tell him about the fun things he encountered in the club, and laugh with him......

It was supposed to be like this.

But when my brother came this time, he didn't walk quickly to me, but turned slightly sideways and gave way to the door.

Could it be that my brother brought someone else with him? Are you a friend you met in the club? Or are they doctors and nurses? I frowned slightly, and a bad feeling flashed through my heart.

Behind her brother was a beautiful girl. Long straight black hair, flawless cheeks, slender body, and gentle smile all quietly hit my eyes. An indescribable sense of restlessness welled up in my heart. She seemed to notice me, too, and turned her head to smile at me.

My mouth was wide open, too stunned to speak.

What a twisted laugh that is. The still cheeks suddenly turned into a strange shape like a broken eggshell, and the lines of the mouth were folded, making it disgusting to look at. Her hair, which rippled with her smile, was as ugly as a cloth that had been waved, and the most terrifying thing was her eyes. It was a pair of eyes that couldn't help but be reminiscent of death. Although Tokitsuki's eyes are also reminiscent of dead corpses, it is a metaphor in a beautiful sense. Kazeno Tokitsuki's beauty is due to the perfection of her and the corpse, and the eyes of the girl in front of me make me feel like she is decaying dynamically. From her dark pupils, I saw nothing but a disgusting emptiness.

If Kaze Tokitsuki was a beautiful frozen corpse walking, the girl would have been a disgusting residue that had been eroded by maggots and reduced to an empty shell.

In an instant, the girl's smile retracted. She hid her expression in her long, straight hair that hung down again, and returned to her original appearance. I blinked, a little incredulous that what I had just seen was real. But the tightness in my chest told me that what I was seeing was real. This girl has long been rotten to the bones, she just put on the mask of fraud, and then stood by her brother shamelessly.

I suddenly felt a shudder. What does such a person want to do to his brother? If the witch simply wanted to control her brother and eat him, the girl would definitely do something even more evil. For a moment, I felt a little annoyed. Why is it always my brother, why is it always my favorite brother who encounters this kind of thing. My brother will always be targeted by strange bad people, targeted by them, and captured by the evil desires of those bad people.

However, I was a little bit happy.

Sure enough, my brother still needs me to protect him. Usually always rely on the salary earned by my brother or, sometimes I feel like a parasite. But now I've discovered the meaning of my existence again, that I'm here to protect my brother. In the candy house, Gretel is also protective of her brother. It seems that my fairy tale is not over yet, and I will continue to protect my brother from the evil witch.

That's right, this girl is a witch. So she will be completely erased by me like a witch. But now when I tell my brother, the timing is not good. Just like when he was a witch, his brother must have been bewitched by the witch. Now, even if I tell my brother the truth, he won't believe me. I had to endure it for now.

To be honest, I was probably a little overexcited. I kept thinking about this in my head, and I didn't even know what my brother said to me. Knowing that my brother had called my name continuously, I woke up from my own world.

"It's okay, Mitsuki." My brother looked at me with gentle eyes.

"Ah, I don't care." Sure enough, my brother is the best, and I made this clear in my heart again. So no matter what, I'm going to protect my brother," where did you just go? ”

"Ah, you're really ......" my brother showed a helpless expression, but I knew very well in my heart that my brother was not really impatient, "I just said, the story of the girl named Yuko......"

My brother told me the story of a junior high school girl, no, the story of Cinderella. It's a fairy tale that comes up often, but I don't know why my brother said it so solemnly.

"Fairy tale events keep happening, I ......" my brother showed a very sad expression and gently stroked my hair, "Mitsuki, I swear to you, I will definitely put an end to these unfortunate events!" ”

"However, I think the girl named Yuko is very happy. Because, at last, she was finally free to fly......"

I accidentally said what was on my mind, causing my brother to look at me with wide eyes.

"Mitsuki, you ......"

"Ah, don't worry I'm going to fly. Because I still have to be with my brother, I won't do stupid things, huh? ”

My brother looked relieved, and then I smiled when I saw that expression.

That's right, I'm going to be with my brother forever. So, in order to get rid of the filth that hinders my brother's happiness and me, there is no way to do it, even if I use more drastic measures than the girl named Yuko.

Because, I'm Gretel from the candy house.

While my brother and I were cordially communicating, the witch sat a little farther away, looking at us with strange eyes. I sensed evil in her eyes, and I knew I had to do something.

ps: Although it's the midterm exam period, I'm still here to update. I've been under a lot of pressure lately...... Sure enough, it is easy to write from the first-person perspective, which makes it easier to render the atmosphere.
