Surviving a Cruel Fairy Tale - Surviving a Cruel Fairy Tale chapter 40

40 – Act 2. Neverland of Eternity – End of Childhood (1)

Smith Sailor said it was a temporary shelter, but renting an empty lot by the canal would be very comfortable. There was no

She lost even the bare minimum of shelter she had, and more than anything else, she faced the deaths of the people she shared and lived with in front of her eyes.

The gloomy atmosphere did not brighten over time, and there was still no pleasant fire among the adults.

The good news is that Captain Hook returned safely.

She suffered significant injuries, but in that she came back alive, at least in all four limbs, she’s a good thing if that’s the case.

However, the situation has not changed.

There is a mental support called Captain Hook, but she was just after being trampled by the overwhelming power of Neverland.

Indeed, Captain Hook came to me and let out a deep sigh of hers.

“Everyone is gloomy.”

“…… Captain.”

“I know it can’t be helped, but the sailors and all of them are wearing bamboo statues, so I want it.”

The same goes for you, said Captain Hook, patting me hard on the back.

“Straighten your face. What is it like?”

“…… In many ways, the situation is the situation.”

“That young lady will be all right. I hate what that dog-like fairy does, but at least she is kind to children. It has no choice but to be.”

Both Sailor Smee and Captain Hook spoke confidently about Tinkerbell.

“How can you be sure?”

“Huh?”

“Both the captain and the navigator, everyone seems to be familiar with the fairy named Tinkerbell.”

At this, Captain Hook sighed bitterly.

“That’s right, me and him all started in Neverland.”

“Neverland?”

“There are people like you who came in as adults and never became children, but there are also people who grew up as children in Neverland and gradually became adults. Me and Sumi are the latter.”

It started with Neverland.

If you think about it, both Hook and Sumi Said as if Little Red Riding Hood could return as an adult someday.

I couldn’t find a reason for that part, but if they were all children, I could understand it to some extent.

“So I won’t tell you not to worry, but don’t write too much. Besides, I haven’t said anything yet, but we’re going to hit their middle soon?”

“I heard that from Navigator Sumi.”

“What? That he took over such an executive at will!?”

I get mad at you for stealing the goodies, but I know that Captain Hook tried to make a similar offer to me.

“I have no reason to refuse. Isn’t it the same way since you got on this pirate ship in the first place?”

“Yes, but… …. Still, I wonder if the captain has to say this himself. Sumi bastard, have you let go too much lately?”

They told me to take care of those internal things, but there was something I had to check first.

“So what should I do?”

I understand that Hook is leading the pirates to overthrow Neverland.

Apart from the prospects, the first thing is to know what I can do here and what I have to do.

At that question, Captain Hook twitched his lips.

“You are full of confidence for a newcomer who just came in.”

“It’s not like that.”

“Then what?”

Because it’s what I have to do.

This was an area of responsibility.

Her guilt for not saving her Little Red Riding Hood and her duty to save her. Those things were woven together and settled in me in the form of responsibility.

“…… Anyway, tell me what to do.”

“I have nothing to say if you do it voluntarily, but don’t fret too much. Because that doesn’t solve things that can’t be solved.”

I know what you mean, but there are people who are held hostage to sit still and wait.

“…… Well, first of all, there’s not much to do underground. It doesn’t require a lot of human hands, and it’s not something that will help you out.”

“Then what?”

“I have work to do on the ground. It can be simple reconnaissance, and in some cases, direct action to disrupt is unavoidable.”

Captain Hook smiled provocatively, asking if he would go out anyway.

The answer to that question has already been decided.

“Anything is fine.”

“You mean the spirit of a new chick? Well, it would be fun to learn by experiencing it yourself.”

That’s how my role in the Hook Pirates was decided.

Recons running through Neverland.

I don’t know how much it will help, but at least I had to avoid being considered useless, so I forced myself to laugh as confidently as possible.

* * *

The Hook Pirates lack human hands.

But their lack is no greater than my earnestness, so I somehow managed to show my confidence and play a useful man.

A man full of confidence is not the original me.

Where can a person who has not achieved anything have confidence? The only ones that exist behind the shell are dwarfed and ordinary failures.

Nevertheless, I force myself to play the ideal me.

I forcibly gave strength to my knees even though I knew it was beyond my strength, but the price was quite harsh.

“Over there! I saw you over there!!”

I bowed my head at the children’s voice.

The ground of Neverland.

There are alleys even on the streets that are so brightly organized that they cannot be compared to the gloomy yet humid environment of the underground waterway, so I was crouching there.

The job entrusted to the Hook Pirates is mainly reconnaissance.

I was in charge of investigating the behavior radius and activity time of children, especially bad boys, but there were many times when I had to hide like this.

It is not an opponent that cannot be dealt with by force.

It’s not difficult to subdue one or two people, but the problem is that there are countless children on the ground in Neverland.

Somehow even three or four people can do it.

If there were 5 or more, it would be a bit of a struggle, but even that wasn’t enough to worry about defeat.

But what about more?

In addition, among the bad boys who lead the executioner, if there are children who are characters in fairy tales, even one of them is difficult.

“…… Northwest Residential District. The average patrol interval is about thirty minutes. There are about three shifts a day.”

Even in such a situation, after somehow inferring the children’s voices, appearances, footsteps, etc., And entering the necessary information, they move quickly through the alleys to the next area.

Although it is said that the underground canal was taken as the main route of attack, Captain Hook’s request was predicted that disturbance on the ground would also be necessary.

I also don’t think it’s bad to cause confusion by moving on both sides of the ground and underground, but the ground is much more strict than I expected.

A paradise where only children exist.

It’s funny how the security of such a place is strict, but I also think it can’t be helped since there was a battle with the Hook Pirates.

In this way, he goes back and forth to several places to collect and organize information, filling the map densely.

It’s not that children don’t go looking for an alleyway, but it was relatively easy to move around, as they don’t look for these alleyways unless they’re bad boys.

But it wasn’t always so easily passed on.

“I found it!!”

“Tsk.”

At the cry of the child behind her back, she turns around and defends her head with her arms.

At the same time, the club hit his arm accurately, and the boy took a step back and announced his location by blowing a whistle.

If we continue like this, we will definitely be surrounded on this narrow road.

I needed to get away as quickly as possible, but the four children who came running one after another, including that child, pointed their weapons at me.

“I want you to get out of the way.”

“Absolutely not. The fairy asked for trust.”

“Did the fairy say it was OK to kill?”

“Yes! So let’s just crush our heads!”

“Eh? No. It’s dirty.”

It’s ugly.

The kids here easily spit out the words that they kill people casually.

It is too biased to say that it is a child’s innocence.

Has it been said that the environment changes a child’s disposition?

Then, can this Neverland, which allows children unlimited freedom and allows them to do anything, truly be called a true paradise?

“Whatever happened to this town.”

Knowing that this was a question with no answer, I lightly clenched my fists and warmed up.

From noble mtl dot com

Four children.

I can’t be sure because each of them are bad guys who have strengthened their bodies with mysteries, but if they break through this narrow place with force…….

“Anyway, kill all adults…… ?”

Ten seconds should be enough.

“Ahh, kyaaa!!”

“Mi, don’t push!!”

Maximize muscle strength.

It reminds me of the scene where my body explodes.

Reminiscent of a rapidly shooting picture by applying the body’s elasticity as it is, he lowered his body and rushed at it, pinning the two children in front to the wall.

There are only two left.

The remaining girl stabbed her with a short knife, but she was able to get past it with a slight twist of her body.

I got a slight cut, but this level of injury is within acceptable limits.

Then, with a big swing of her arm, the child was blown away, and now only one boy was left.

“Okay, I was wrong!!”

“What?”

At that question, the boy hesitantly lowered his head.

“What did I do wrong?”

“…… He said he was going to kill the old man…… ?”

I laughed at the answer that I had barely taken out.

Of course it was wrong to say that he would kill me, but that was nothing more than a shameful remark.

Is it the innocence of a child?

I realized how scary things can turn into things when strength is added to it, and on the contrary, I burst out laughing.

“That’s not it.”

“…… Yes?”

“An act, not an object. It’s not wrong to try to kill me, it’s wrong to try to kill someone easily.”

I don’t know if this boy will understand the meaning of saying this, but I don’t intend to continue talking anymore, so I just pushed the boy away and moved on with his steps.

When Neverland was broadly divided with this, the map arrangement in the northwest direction was finished.

According to Captain Hook’s words, there is about a month to spare before the central capture of Neverland, and it was necessary to organize as much information as possible until then.

That’s why I was thinking about moving to the western district first.

“Are you there?”

I naturally turned my head at the young girl’s voice.

Has additional support already arrived?

I already knew that I couldn’t stay long when the whistle blew, so I thought about defeating the girl and moving on…….

“Would you like to talk to me?”

The girl with her black hair and blue eyes smiled softly and waved at me.

If that was the case, I would have thought of fighting as it is, but the problem is the enormous amount of mystery felt in that girl.

It wasn’t the power outside the standard that I felt from Tinkerbell, but at least compared to Nero or Patrasche, it felt like a higher power.

“I will not fight. Just talking. It’s just about having a conversation, don’t you like that too?”

“…… What if I refuse?”

“Are you going to tie it up and take it to Tinkerbell?”

She is smiling brightly, but her eyes are sharp.

She may not believe it all, but she untied her fists, thinking that it would be better to move somewhere than fight here right now, and the girl smiled and nodded her head.

“Come here. The other kids will come soon.”

“Can I hear your name before then?”

Nero, Patrasche, and even a shepherd boy.

I have seen many characters in fairy tales, and judging from the strength felt in that girl, there is a high probability that she is also a character in fairy tales.

I hope the girl will answer my question.

“Wendy. I’m just an ordinary Wendy.”

That name was the name of a girl who was the protagonist of the fairy tale Peter Pan and, in a sense, the true protagonist.
