Chapter 9: Fairy Tales

"It seems so. Xizi www.biquge.info is also a third-year student now, and it is time to apply for colleges and universities. I remember that a month ago, it seemed that he came to me to discuss this matter, but I didn't pay much attention to it at that time, and the leader urged me to submit a document......"

Hihei was silent, he somewhat understood Yuko's thoughts. The girls' high school where she fell last was the middle school she wanted to enroll, which seemed to be what Kazeno Tokitsuki called "the prince's ball that Cinderella longed for".

"Do you agree which high school she is going to?" asked Sulfona.

"Of course I'm supportive, I think she still has a good chance of getting in if she works hard. However, I have heard that the financial burden may be heavier. But she hesitated to say that her parents did not support her admission to that school. I was thinking that her family might not be that rich, so I suggested that she change to a high school......" Speaking of this, Mr. Sasa's face suddenly turned pale, "I heard that she seems to have died there in the end...... Could it be that she can't think about it because of this?"

With a trembling hand, Mr. Sasa removed the eyes that hung obliquely on the bridge of his nose and wiped the fog from the lenses. He thought he must have remembered the conversation he had had when Yuko came to him. The sense of responsibility from the teacher and the pressure to cause the death of others were tormenting the young male teacher. The recent harassment by the media and journalists has also left him exhausted. Xun Ping looked at it from the sidelines and felt pitiful. It's a lot like he went up and said it's not all your fault, but he didn't know how Yuko was feeling at that time.

"Let's go...... "Junhei said to Sulfona with a sigh.

The two men left the school with the setting sun, and neither of them spoke. Mr. Sasa's self-reproachful look left a deep impression on the two of them. He pulled the lock from the bicycle and looked at the rust-stained iron cable, and an inexplicable fear welled up in his heart. As a teacher who is trusted by her classmates, she can't understand the pain in Yuko's heart. As my sister's closest brother, I can't understand my sister's gradually distorted mind - no one in this world seems to have a black hole. No matter who you are, sometimes you want to hide in a dark corner alone, hug your head and cry. When this emotion is constantly amplified and amplified, how many "dark fairy tales" will be caused?

His father was away from home all year round, was abused by his stepmother, was misfit in at school, and his long-awaited high school aspirations were brutally rejected. Yuko is like this, step by step, inferior to Yuansu, ......

"It's Cinderella. ”

Sulfona lowered her head and whispered. The tone and content of the words made Xun Ping suddenly feel creepy. Because it's too much like what another girl who only appears in the middle of the night often says.

"It's like picking ears of wheat in soot. Sulfur muttered, "Don't you think this school is like soot, Mr. Tsuhei?" and Cinderella is rummaging through the ashes for knowledge. Because only by digging through the ashes can you find enough knowledge to improve your grades. After the grades improve, you can go to a girls' school that is known for going on to higher education.,That's also the girls' school that Yuko has always longed for.。 Cinderella had to pick up ears of wheat in the soot before she could finally go to the prince's ball. ”

Halfway through speaking, Sulfona stopped. The side of her face becomes fragile in the sunset, and she seems to read the taste of "Yuko" from the sunset.

But even as Cinderella painstakingly plucked the ears of wheat out of the ashes, her stepmother refused to allow her to go to the prince's ball. The stepmother laughed and threw the ears of wheat that Cinderella had worked so hard to pick back into the ashes, saying derogatory things about Cinderella. Yuko must be like this. Even if her mother saw Yuko's improving grades, she wouldn't be happy at all. 'Wouldn't it be embarrassing for your sister to get such a result?' I think Yuko's mother must have said so rudely. ”

"Is that why Yuko went crazy?" said Hirohei, too. For teenage girls, school and family may be all there is. When all this collapses, it seems that it can only lead to self-destruction.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sulfur raised her head and looked at him deadly. Sulfona's eyes widened, and he looked at it for a long time, and finally realized an emotion called anger from it.

Sulfona seemed angry. He had thought that the girl would not have such emotions, but this time Sulfona seemed to be genuinely angry.

This is the reason why Cinderella went crazy. But the reason that must not lead Yuko to madness. Doesn't Mr. Hirohei think it's strange? Why does Yuko have to be Cinderella? Cinderella lived in the Middle Ages, and she had to keep silent when she was abused by her family, and no one knew her except her neighbors. But Yuko lives in a modern society, the law protects the rights and interests of minors, and when you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you can talk to a teacher, and there are psychological counselors in the school. If we expose the current situation to society through the digital network, and use the power of public opinion with the help of the media, I think it will be possible to solve even the most difficult problems...... So, Yuko is definitely not Cinderella. ”

"But, Yuko is just a teenager, she may not understand the methods of these adults......" Junhei shook his head helplessly, "I, in fact, I also encountered family problems when I was a child. My mother was lazy, didn't go to work every day, and had a very bad attitude towards me and my sister. But I never thought of the approach you mentioned. It wasn't until something happened and the police came to me to talk about basic legal knowledge that I realized that there were so many ways to help me. I guess that's probably the case with Yuko. ”

"No, it's not so much that she doesn't know these methods, but that she doesn't have time to know. "Maybe she'll meet a classmate whose parents are lawyers in high school, or learn about domestic violence cases in class soon after." But she died, and she didn't have the opportunity to know this and solve the problem properly. There was a deep sadness in Sulfona's tone, "Because, some people say she, it's Cinderella......"

"......" Huanping was stunned for a moment.

Because she was Cinderella, Yuko gave up asking for help from others. Because she is Cinderella, Yuko can only endure the suffering in silence. If you are treated unfairly, you can call the police - such attempts have been abandoned. It's all because Tokitsuki Kazeno said she was Cinderella, and Tokitsuki Kazeno told Cinderella's fairy tale. Cinderella's fairy tale makes Yuko think that there will be fairies to save her, but she doesn't expect that the real-life 'fairy' needs to be summoned by dialing 110, instead of suddenly appearing next to Yuko. Because the fairy didn't appear on her own after waiting for a long time, Yuko ran to the prince's ball alone. At midnight, Yuko's crystal slipper broke, and she fell down the stairs. Knowing that at that time, Yuko realized that she was not Cinderella. However, at that time, she was no longer a sunset. ”

Zunhei remembered that he saw Yuko's silhouette leaping in mid-air, and Yuko's eyes finally waking up like a dream, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. In the end, Yuko wakes up from Cinderella's fairy tale, only to find that she has become a monster. His hair was scattered, covered in blood, and the glass shards and blood stains on his feet condensed into a disgusting shape. That's her, it's no longer Yuko.

"What do you think is the meaning of a fairy tale, Mr. Zoping? We read again and again how Cinderella was abused by her stepmother, and how Snow White was killed again and again by the Queen's poisoned apple...... Isn't it true that these fairy tale characters re-enact death and suffering again and again to warn us not to be like them?

Pyeping stared blankly at Sulfona.

"Tokitsuki Kaze inserted a fairy tale into real life, and I can't say whether such an act is right or wrong. But now that we know the plot of those fairy tales, why do we have to follow the script of the fairy tales?" said Sulfur, "If the queen in Snow White wants to know if she is the most beautiful woman in the world, she can just put her photos on the Internet and let netizens vote on whether it is okay? If Cinderella is shopping online at home, won't she be late for the poisoned apple brought by the queen? If Cinderella Cinderella called the police in time, and she didn't have to pick up ears of wheat in the soot anymore. ”

The cool evening breeze swept through Sulfona's bangs, and Huo Ping suddenly felt that this weak-looking girl's body was full of strength.

"A beautiful girl in a gorgeous gothic costume - Kazuno Tokitsuki,

Always listening to the troubles of the girls in the middle of the night,

Whenever she tells fairy tales......

…… Someone will die.

Isn't this also a fairy tale in itself? The reason why she came out is never to predict the tragedy. Isn't it more so that we can stop those tragedies? So, I will definitely use my methods, the methods of the law, and the modern technology to stop the dark fairy tales of Tokitsuki Kazeno!"

Sulfona's words poured like cold water on Honpei's head, and the chagrin and shyness that welled up in his abdomen made his heart burn. He remembered his stupid past, and if someone had said such things to him at the time, would it have turned out completely differently? His vision began to distort, and he felt that his limbs were cold, and he seemed to have gone back to the old time.

In the cold of the night, the hot air he exhaled as he observed the movement outside melted and dissipated in the air. The alleyway in front of the door was filled with a thick black that seemed to settle down from the sky, and it was silent across it.

In that alley

One.

A small thing fell to the ground.

It must have been lit by a nearby house, illuminated by the barely reachable entrance light, and a white cellophane-wrapped candy lying on the ground in front of the house emitted a faint glow.

And then, the candy – One.

One.

It continues all the way to the front of the alley.

There are things that thump, knock, knock, and fall regularly.

The thing fell to the ground, and a faint spot of light surfaced in the faint light of the residential area late at night. It's like tempting people down dark alleys, where little candies fall one by one and disappear after a turn.

Candy House

The brother and sister, who had been left behind by their parents, threw breadcrumbs on the road, marking the way home.

"You two brothers and sisters are like 'Hansel and Gretel of the Candy House'. In the darkness, someone seemed to sigh in the ear of Zhuoping.

The candy dropped on the ground is a testament to that old fairy tale.

Heapin is Hansel, and his sister is Gretel.

Two people will go in the darkness to the other......

"What's wrong with you, Mr. Zohei?"

Sulfona's questioning suddenly woke up Pyeong from his memories. It was the aftermath of a fairy tale, and he fell into it again. When he realized that Sulfur was looking at him with concern, he realized that he was already covered in sweat.

"Are you alright......" Sulfura flipped her handkerchief from her bag.

"That ......," he said, squeezing out a hoarse voice from his throat that he was surprised by, "I have a place I want to invite you to if I have time on the weekend." ”

"Huh?"

"I want you to go see my sister......"
