[Fic Fairy tail] Tale

Red Hood Girl and Mr. Wolf

May you all enjoy this storybook.

Little Red Riding Hood A short folk tale with few pages that everyone knows. The story of a young girl who carries a basket to her grandmother and a cunning wolf is always chasing her to eat her. The conclusion of this story may vary. Some say that Little Red Riding Hood was eaten because she foolishly followed the wolf.

Some say the wolf was taken down by the hunters in a timely manner. But there is no conclusion that says the couple can live together peacefully.

Why? Why is that so?

Why are all stories defined by people who are not the characters of the story?

And why must anyone be hurt?

The first page was opened. The story of Little Red Riding Hood begins.

-once upon a time There is a cute girl. Healthy body She usually wears a red hoodie when she goes out. So everyone calls her that. Little Red Riding Hood Today, her mother prepared food and asked her to take it to Grandma alone because she was not feeling well-

“Darling, Mommy has finished cooking. Just a little,” said a middle-aged woman's voice. Her name is Leyla and she lives in a small house with her two daughters. Because her husband Judo had to work abroad to earn money to support the family.

“Is something wrong, Mom?” a 17-year-old girl answered. She was Layla's daughter. His appearance was considered to be at the top level in the village. With flowing golden blonde hair that often exudes the faint scent of wildflowers. Peach lips are chubby. Sparkling brown eyes Perfect body proportions, Lucy, that's her name.

Lucy stood and looked at her mother who was beautifully arranging food in the basket. It consists of fried vegetables, fruit, pies and some fried foods.

"It's okay," Layla replied with a not-so-good expression. She had been feeling unwell for a few days. The body is more tired than usual. But today is the weekend. She must bring food to visit her mother according to routine.

“Just a lot.” Layla coughed three more times before collapsing onto the ground. Lucy rushed to get her mother's body before any harm came. A hand reached out to touch his forehead. He found that it was hot as if there were small flames dancing in it.

“Why don't you think it's okay, Mom? It's really hot." Lucy said with a displeased expression on her face. She already knew how weak her mother's body was.

“That's it, just sit and rest and it'll get better.” Layla tried to get up. But when he tried to push himself up, his legs were so weak that he collapsed again.

“Mother! I forced myself again. Hmm,” Lucy said as she helped her mother's light body back up to the second floor. Without even listening to the protest

When she came up, Lucy took out a damp cloth and wiped herself off. before bringing medicine to continue taking

“I need to rest.”

“But today is the weekend. Mom has to go visit Grandma. By now you've probably been waiting,” Leyla said, making an uncomfortable expression. Because she didn't want the relatively old person to have to wait a long time.

“Then I'll go myself.”

“You can't!!” Layla shouted with a worried expression on her face. Until Lucy stopped and tilted her head suspiciously.

“Mom, I heard that there are wolves prowling around our village lately. It's too dangerous for you to go alone.” The mother looked down at the blanket. I don't dare send my beloved daughter away alone. Because during this time there was news that there was a crafty wolf that wanted to eat the villagers. It often appears in the middle of the forest and shouts repeatedly that it is hungry.

Or they would trick people into getting lost before they could be eaten as a delicacy. Honestly, she didn't know the origin of this news source. I don't even know who was eaten. Who survived until the story was told?

“Oh, Mom, you know that I'm very strong. I am Lucy who conquered the giant boar,” Lucy replied with a smile. Raise a fist to show that she is fine and can take care of herself.

Before they closed their eyes, they recalled the night of the hunting festival. When a large wild boar came to attack the village, only because the villagers invaded its den did it become angry. Lucy was the only one who stood her ground and was able to handle it. That victory made people closer to her. And with its signature elegant red hood

No matter what, everyone called her Little Red Riding Hood because of that incident. It was like she was remembered for the color of her hood and not as Lucy.

Leyla thought about it for a moment before nodding. Since Lucy was able to defeat the angry giant boar. A few wolves might not be a problem.

“Then give it to me.”

"Understood. I miss Grandma terribly." Lucy smiled widely. Get ready to go pick up Grandma's basket.

“Actually, Mom made two baskets. One of your grandma's. The other one is for you to eat along the way.”

“Yes, take care of yourself, Mom. Then I'll hurry back. Don't force it!" Lucy emphasized again to be sure. Because all sick people need rest. Otherwise, it won't go away.

"Yes," the mother's voice trailed off. Lucy immediately went to take the two baskets out of the house.

The paper flipped to the second page. The next chapter of the story begins.

-She walked along the path. green grass bright blue sky sheet Brightly colored flowers dazzle the eyes Those things were a beautiful, dreamy sight. Little Red Riding Hood kept admiring it.

Meanwhile, Little Red Riding Hood was enjoying his trip. The crafty wolf noticed her because of the distinctive color of her hood. It was drooling with hunger and thirst. He intended to take a young girl for dinner. Seeing Little Red Riding Hood captivated by nature So he thought of a plan and acted immediately.

“Little Red Riding Hood,” said the wolf with unnaturally colored fur. Its color is sweet pink like flower petals. Dark green to black eyes glowed when he saw her. His name is Natsu.

The wolf kept sneaking up on Little Red Riding Hood. In my head I thought of all kinds of plans that could be used in the current situation. Finally, he decided to lure Little Red Riding Hood with the beauty of nature. He smiled slightly before starting to carry out his plan.

It transformed itself into a semi-human form. This will give it an almost human appearance. Except for the extra ears and tail. But with a rather bulky outfit and a frizzy hairstyle. Making it quite difficult to notice

The wolf immediately walked towards Little Red Riding Hood.

“This is Little Red Riding Hood. Where are you going?” he asked in a bright voice. Squinted his eyes until he saw a pool of water.

"Ah..bringing food to grandma," Lucy replied in an unusual manner. His sweet face turned a little brighter. She stared at the young man in front of her without batting an eye.

His sharp face looked natural. His eyes were pointed upwards as if he were always looking for trouble at someone. The bridge of the nose has a good shape. Thick lips that were slightly cinnamon-colored were smiling brightly.

“Would you like some flowers to give to Grandma as well? I know a good place. I'm sure you'll really like it.” Natsu spoke again. He didn't expect much. Because everything depends on the decision of the girl in front of us. Whether it's the present or the future.

"Go," Lucy replied with a cheerful expression. She let out a wide smile and nodded quickly. Natsu saw that and frowned slightly. But he extended his hand towards Lucy, signaling for her to hold it. The young girl reached out and held her hand happily.

Natsu walked Lucy to the front. The two of them were silent throughout the journey. Until finally, we reached a large flower field that stretched as far as the eye could see. Butterflies and dragonflies flutter freely under the clear sky. A cool breeze blew, causing some of the golden hairs that were emerging from the hood to blow a little with the wind. Lucy raised her hand to brush away the hair that was in her face.

Natsu turned his head slightly. before sitting on the ground and starting to put flowers together into a beautiful bouquet hand it to her

“Here, take it to your grandma. Consider this a farewell gift from me.”

“Ah… ah, thank you.” Lucy's smile and sweet voice made him jump up a little.

Natsu shook his head quickly to regain his composure. Before taking advantage of the moment Lucy turned and was about to accidentally pounce on her. Hoping to give her a delicious meal

This will be the first form of the summary. Little Red Riding Hood is eaten by wolves because she believes in his trick and follows him.

But at the wrong moment. Putting him in a position where he was straddling her instead. Their eyes met for a moment. Before Lucy pushed him away with all her might and walked away.

Natsu raised his hand and lightly smacked his chest. His eyes looked at the large bouquet of flowers she had left behind. He picked it up and looked at it with gentle eyes. He let out a small smile before getting up.

It was a smile that was hidden in pain.

Lucy escaped the same way. She is a person who always remembers her way well so she never gets lost even once. Two legs back to the right path In his hand, he held the basket tightly.

The paper flipped to the third page.

-When the wolf's first plan failed. So he uses a backup plan by invading and seizing Grandma's house. Locked the old woman in the basement. She puts on her skimpy clothes as a disguise and begins to trick Little Red Riding Hood, who has just arrived -

Natsu walked down the shortcut. Jump up to the second floor from the window. Seeing the old woman sleeping in a good mood, He walked slowly before wrapping the blanket around Grandma tightly. Two legs descended into the basement of the house. He gently set Grandma down. Old women are not suitable for food.

Natsu covered Grandma's mouth with a cloth. before turning away and walking to lock the door from the outside.

When he finished, he returned to the second floor. He opened his closet and pulled out some baggy clothes to conceal himself. before slipping into the blankets on the soft bed Change your posture to fit the old woman's context.

On the side of Little Red Riding Hood

After she escaped from the wolf She continued walking along the path until she returned to the point where they had met. Lucy stopped walking before looking up. Staring at the blue sky with floating clouds After a while, he gritted his teeth and continued walking. The walkway is still filled with the beauty of various types of plants.

But right now, they couldn't attract her in the slightest.

Lucy hurriedly walked towards Grandma's house.

Finally she arrived A thin palm reached out and grabbed the knob before opening it. Two legs automatically carried her body to the second floor.

“Here it is, Grandma. Mother isn't feeling well today, so I'll let you come instead." Lucy explained hurriedly, hoping the person lying on the bed would understand.

"Yes, just put it there," Natsu stammered. He had to try to imitate the old woman's voice to be realistic. But what turned out to be a terrifying sound.

“Grandma, are you sick? That sounds so funny. Haha," Lucy said in a joking tone. She walked over and placed the basket on the large table. Manage the food out and put it on a plate. before placing it on a tray to make it easier to lift

“Probably a little sick. "Whoa!" Natsu pretended that his side was nearly scratched. A small bead of sweat broke out when he realized that the people in front of him were starting to notice.

Soon Lucy walked to the bedside. Holding a large tray in hand She slowly sat down next to the wolf.

“Then I'll give it to you,” she said, using a spoon to scoop out small bites of the pie. He held it up to Natsu's mouth with a smile on his face.

Natsu closed his eyes slightly before following the water. He started by eating the pie one bite at a time until it was finished, with the young girl feeding him every bite. Lucy smiled with satisfaction as the plate of delicious pies finished. She got up and walked over and picked up a knife to peel the fruit and continued feeding it to him.

When you eat six pieces of apple Natsu began to stop Little Red Riding Hood from continuing.

"Ya... Grandma says that's enough."

“Eh! Why? Normally, Grandma, if you eat too much, you'll die. or severe symptoms!!” Don't wait. Lucy quickly put his forehead to his to check his temperature. and found that the other party was hotter than usual.

“I'm so hot. Wait a moment,” she said, going downstairs. Even leaving space for the other party to respond.

Soon Lucy came up with a small bucket of water and a cloth. She unfolded the cloth with a slight flick and dipped it in water. When the water soaked into the fabric, she lifted it up and wrung it out to dampen it. and reached over to wipe Grandma's face.

When she finished wiping her face, she prepared to pull out the blanket to continue drying herself. But the cloth was held back.

"Grandma, I think it's better like this," Natsu said, his voice trembling slightly. Sharp's face was still dripping with sweat.

"It won't go away," Lucy said, pulling the cloth off. Natsu huffed and stood up immediately. His face was slightly red.

He looked down at her. All plans go wrong The wolf just wanted to convince her that he was Grandma and eat her later. But now if she wipes herself, she will definitely know that he is not Grandma.

I can't keep pretending to act. Let's catch her and eat it!

Natsu jumped on top of Lucy again.

“Grandma?” she called out to the person in front of her with a change in tone. before the face becomes colored again Seeing this, Natsu brought his face closer until his forehead was pressed against his. The gentle look in his eyes before had disappeared. It is full of hunger and thirst according to the story.

“I'm not a grandma, I'm a wolf, and you're my dinner,” he said in a harsh voice, opening his mouth. The small fangs came closer and closer to Lucy until they ended on her shoulder. Bite until you can clearly see the teeth marks. Natsu raised his head to stare at Lucy again. before raising a faint smile with sad eyes

Lucy looked at the person above with strange eyes. Brown eyes started to water slightly.

And then-

Bang!!!

The sound of a gun from the hunter rang out. The round steel ball barely missed Lucy's face. Because his goal isn't her. But it was a wolf like Natsu.

Bang Bang Bang!!!

Three more gunshots rang out. Those bullets pierced the wolf's death point hard. Drops of red splattered, staining the entire bed. Literally his blood should have splattered into Lucy's face first because she was beneath him. But it didn't even hit me at all. Her face was still white and clean.

No red smudges That was because he was covering it with his own hand.

This woman doesn't need to experience it.

The last blurry image he saw were tears on a beautiful face. Natsu leaned down and rested on Lucy, following the force of gravity. He whispered some words just enough for her to hear. Before those eyes closed with a sigh

-Don't cry-

'Because she's more suitable for a smile than anything else'

The two hunters immediately rushed to help Little Red Riding Hood. They threw the wolf's lifeless body out of the house. Pretending to explain the situation to the girl Comfort her with just a few words. before going down to help Grandma in the basement

-He almost ate Little Red Riding Hood. But then a kind hunter came to save her in time. They take down the wolf, go help Grandma, and when they're done everyone celebrates the horrifying disappearance of the wolf.

And the story ends The villagers had nothing to fear anymore. They live in peace-

The last piece of paper said so.

But no one knows what happened after that. What happened next?

Because that's all there is to a story that's been written.

After the banquet was held Lucy rushed towards her usual spot again. I looked around with familiarity. This place was on the way to Grandma's house…it was where she met the wolf, according to the context.

When she separated No one noticed her. No one said she Even Leyla couldn't say anything.

Because this is a story apart from the fairy tales. The stigmatization has ended.

Some bodies turn left-right Explore again But I couldn't find what I was looking for. The two legs hurriedly moved forward. The heart beats rapidly. She was terrified of what would happen. Because today there are a lot of stories that are quite different from the original.

She suddenly thought of the beautiful place she had visited today. Maybe it was there.

She ran as hard as she could. Walk with all your strength. Even though it was quite far until she was tired and panting harder and harder. Even so, there was no sign of stopping. Because it's your hope

'It must be there, yes…… Please, really yes!'

Finally, she arrived at that flower field again. Lucy quickly looked around. before finding a young man with sweet hair standing far away. Lucy rushed towards him. Hug him from behind until he almost lost his footing and hit the ground. Fortunately, the other party was able to regain consciousness in time. The two of them could only lean forward slightly instead of rolling onto the ground.

She sobbed out. Tears flowed from a pair of beautiful brown eyes. The front of the body is pressed against the back of the person in front of them.

"Natsu, you're still here. You're really still here," she said in a trembling voice. The worries in my heart disappeared completely when I touched him. Her warm body confirmed that she wasn't imagining it.

He is still with her.

Natsu held Lucy's hand around his waist. before turning back to the front

“I told you not to cry. You really are such a crybaby.” Her thick palms gently wiped away the tears. Soon he moved up to brush away the tangles of her hair that fell into her face.

"It's…" Lucy pursed her lips together into a single line. Finally, the tears flowed again.

"Oh, if you want to sing, then sing." Seeing that she wouldn't stop singing easily Natsu then said as he hugged her tightly. He stayed in that position for a long time, letting Lucy cry out in her strong chest. Because he himself knew how much pain she was in.

Satisfied, Lucy slowly pulled away. She raised her hand and caressed Natsu's sharp face. Use your eyes to focus on the eyes in front of you.

“Why did you come here today? Do you know how devastated I am?”

“Come on, this is the first time you've followed me here. It's beautiful, isn't it?" Natsu said, scooping her face up. Lucy didn't seem to deny anything. Looking up, he saw the night sky filled with twinkling stars. The soft yellow moon shone brightly against the background.

The flower fields lit by the moonlight shone brighter than during the day. She couldn't take her eyes off.

"What do you say? Do you like it?" Natsu bent down to speak near Lucy's ear. She was so startled that she accidentally swung her foot and hit Natsu right in the middle.

“Ah! It hurts, Lucy," Natsu said, holding his stomach tightly. It definitely hurt a lot, because this was Lucy. Lucy who defeated a giant boar.

“I'm sorry. Who let you come close like that? I'm shocked." Hearing this, Natsu's smile slightly lifted up the corners of his mouth. Because he knew that what she was like wasn't a shock. But it is a different symptom of embarrassment.

“Are you shy?”

"Nothing," Lucy said, shaking her head slightly. True, her face was red. There was no way the other party wouldn't see it.

But who's going to pick it up easily?

“Hahaha, don't try, Lucy. I know you're embarrassed. Look, your face is all red." Natsu playfully poked his finger on Lucy's cheek. before sliding up and opening the red hoodie she was wearing Place the palm of your hand on the blonde's hair and work your way through it until it starts to fluff.

But is there a way that someone like Lucy would accept being teased one-sidedly? No way! She raised her hand to caress the pointed ears in the beautiful colored hair. Gently stroke it slowly. And of course that was Natsu's weak point!

He pulled away from her. Her face became sharper and more rosy than the girl in front of her. The heart beats faster than a drum kit at a celebration.

Natsu averted his eyes as Lucy stared at the ground. The corners of his mouth quirked up into an embarrassed smile.

"Oooh, hee hee hee, you're so cute, Natsu."

“Who would praise a man like that? I don't understand at all." Natsu pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. He really expected her to say he was cool or something else. But she said she was cute. It's not that I don't like it. But it doesn't seem like it fits someone like him at all.

'The person who is cute is you'

"Why? You really like it, don't you?"

“It's crazy!”

“But you wiggle your tail,” she said, pointing at the fluffy pink tail that wiggled back and forth. Natsu immediately covered his hand. He wanted to bang his head on the ground a hundred times. Why did he act instinctively?

Because of this? Lucy could always find his way. She knew all about his weaknesses.

"Who...who makes you stare at other people's tails?" Seeing Natsu's expression, Lucy couldn't help but smile and moved to rub her head. before changing to a sad expression once again as he thought about what had happened.

“I'm really happy, Natsu. Glad you're still alive.” Every word was filled with worry. Just seeing Natsu in front of her made her so happy.

"You crazy girl, you just won't get used to it," Natsu tried to say jokingly. He didn't want Lucy to be any more sad.

Because she's broken enough already.

“Who is going to be able to accept this? Having to see you die every time it's over. How can you not be…..sad?" Lucy snuggled into Natsu's chest again. Two arms wrapped around his thick body to keep him from disappearing. Because every image Natsu left was stuck in his eyes.

“It's enough that the person who died wasn't you. Little Red Riding Hood," Natsu hugged back. His palm gently stroked Lucy's head. He knew that she was very strong to see him go. Because if it were himself He probably couldn't accept it. Accidentally, I'll be even more shattered than you.

A short conversation that the two of them usually have when the story ends.

Yes, this is the legend of Little Red Riding Hood. At the end the wolf was the defeated party. Whenever someone starts reading a story Everything will repeat according to the plot.

- Little Red Riding Hood has to bring food to Grandma. Encountered a wolf along the way The wolf couldn't eat her in the first plan. She disguises herself as a grandmother. and ends with being shot by a hunter -

This was something that the two of them had always faced together. Countless times

Because besides them There is no one else who can be conscious in this world. It was like being trapped in an endless amount of time.

The first time I realized this was after this story had been repeated more than a million times. At that time, something went wrong that was different from the original plot. When Little Red Riding Hood stumbled on a rock and ended up hugging a wolf who had just walked in, according to the story, they began to realize that something was wrong. But the story still continues and ends as before. And they both forgot what happened when the story started over.

The second time was when the wolf tripped and fell on Little Red Riding Hood, causing her hood to open. As soon as he saw his face clearly, he began to feel something inside. Even after that time, they couldn't remember the wrong part of the story.

They continued to encounter more and more unusual events. Every time I see it, I forget it every time.

Until the 99th time While the story follows the plot as it should be. They accidentally locked eyes while the wolf disguised itself as Grandma. Little Red Riding Hood immediately realized that it was not Grandma. But she felt strangely attracted by those eyes. So did the wolf.

As their eyes met, their faces slowly moved towards each other without realizing it. Until finally their lips came close together. What was even more incredible was that he and she remembered the past as soon as they touched her. It's like a mystery box with a padlock. Whenever they have the key They will see what's inside and will remember it forever.

Neither of them took their eyes off or pulled away from the other. Because when you remember the story His heart suddenly beat as fast as the blood vessels pumping throughout his body. Both small events that were encountered The coincidence of hugging, touching hands, walking next to each other, laughing together. Those images made them discover feelings they never had before. Both soft and fluffy and sweet

But then I remembered what the story would be like in the end. And how many times has it been? The pain overflowed until I couldn't control my tear glands.

As she had clear tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. The steel bullet immediately pierced through the thick body in front of Little Red Riding Hood. No matter how much she screamed, no one seemed to hear it. That was the first time she saw him leave before her eyes without feeling.

After that the story continued. Little Red Riding Hood tried to protest, but no one seemed to notice. Time passed until the party. When I realized that this was the final conclusion. The girl immediately ran to the place where the wolf had been thrown away. A piece of my heart still hopes for him to live.

But when she saw his lifeless body My heart gradually broke. She screamed out tears of pain. Begging heaven and earth for him to come back.

While she was in despair Suddenly, the smoothness of her abdomen began to tremble. The wolf miraculously rose up. She was so happy that she hugged her with all her might.

“Little Red Riding Hood. Why are you hugging me?” He looked startled. and still confused about the story that happened

"It's you, it's you...huh."

"Hey! Don't cry, what exactly happened?" he asked again. Before the pain shot into my head Make those images come back clear.

His thick body trembled with fear, unlike the thin one hugging him. The wolf raised its hand and held the area where it had been shot, with a terrified expression on its face.

“What the hell is this?” he exclaimed. Those eyes were filled with confusion.

"I don't know. I don't know anything," she said in a muffled voice. before moving up to bury his face on the other's shoulder He sobbed out until he didn't dare to ask further.

Both of them let silence fill the atmosphere. In their heads, they were piecing together their own stories. before starting to talk and share information that they understand and found out the truth This story has been going on for a very long time. Plus I don't know when it will end.

Getting to know each other is a guarantee that you are not alone in an empty world.

“Here, Little Red Riding Hood.”

“My name isn't Little Red Riding Hood,” the woman exclaimed. Now that they both have to work together. And she didn't want to be called that name.

“That's what other people call her.”

“I have a name!”

“What is your name?”

"Lucy"

“Luigi?”

“Lu-si!”

“Ah..oh! I'm Natsu."

After the introduction conversation ended The pair began to find a way to stop this vicious cycle. The surrounding air suddenly became colder. Before each side saw the person in front of them disappear before their eyes.

And everything started again.

It's always like this

Although they tried many methods to stop it, Whether it's trying to avoid Walking in the opposite direction Evasion of travel so as not to meet But everything is without cause and effect.

Because no matter what you do There will always be a reason to influence them to continue the story until the end.

I gave up many times. But when she saw the ending, Lucy couldn't stand it every time. She even went so far as to take the bullet instead. But it was still so close that it hit Natsu.

What the couple decided was When the story ends, they will meet at the point where they must walk in opposite directions. Before sitting around and chatting endlessly to relieve loneliness and loneliness. Both of them always fill the black void in each other's hearts.

A long time has passed. They didn't even get any older. That's because this is the story of a girl and a crafty wolf. Both of them gradually sunk into each other's lives. Spent a long time together. Everything has changed from people cooperating to love. But I never told the other party, that's all.

It's because of love this time. There was no chance from the beginning.

Unrequited love

A love that cannot decide its own ending.

Love that can be given to each other for only a short time after the story ends.

They endured everything. If the story doesn't proceed will never meet again And if we don't meet The story doesn't progress. This was like a chain that bound them both. If you want to meet I want to talk after the story is finished. They will have to follow the story.

But in bad things there are still good things. Because at least After the story ends They will be able to be freed from those roles. Able to touch, talk, smile at each other.

Even if it wasn't long before everything would start again.

"True, you still haven't told me whether you like it here or not." Lucy nodded lightly. before answering Natsu's question.

"I like it. I like it the most."

"Good," Natsu said before taking her hand. Lift it up and put it on your lips. Lucy had a slight blush on her cheeks. Because he had never done anything like this before. How can I get used to it? This made a part of her heart feel timid.

"By the way, Natsu, how do you know about a place like this?" she asked. Because as far as I can remember, Natsu always started stories that were close to her. It was almost impossible for him to know a place like this.

Natsu smiled in response, before letting out a small laugh.

“Um, it's been a long time. But of course I was the one who found it. Glad you like it,” he said. Send out a look that hides something It looks duller than ever.

“This is Lucy.”

"Hmm, what is it, Natsu?" Lucy asked as usual. But he had to make a confused expression when he saw what he did.

Natsu moved closer to her than before. His thick palm pressed against his soft cheek. before he leaned forward towards her Lips touch forehead Move down the eyelid, bridge of the nose, cheeks, and end on the lips. She stared at him in surprise. The face is still hot. But all he did was retreat about two steps. before turning and walking away

“Freedom is yours now. Use it well,” he said with a different expression than before.

"Natsu, what do you mean?"

"It's time, Lucy," he said. Without even turning to look at her

Lucy followed. Both sides of the road gradually became brighter. Hundreds of fireflies light up They flew around like they were dancing at a festival. Lucy tried to move faster. Because now she was looking at Natsu's back that was slowly getting smaller. It wasn't long before he completely disappeared from her sight.

Lucy reached forward and ran, her legs going twice as fast as before. A large amount of sweat was pouring out, mixing with the tears that were lining his cheeks.

"Ouch!"

She tripped over a small rock. before falling to the ground Brown eyes still looked forward. At this time, the fireflies had disappeared. Surrounding Lucy was only grass, flowers, and large rocks scattered along the path.

The cool wind slowly blew and hit the body. Lucy couldn't bring herself to stand up. Her ankle sprained And her knee was scraped.

His little heart felt an unknown number of times colder than the blowing wind. The moonlight was bright and soft, as if lulling her to sleep, causing her to drift away in her heart. Everything seemed to be still. The sounds of insects, crickets, birds, and even the rustling of leaves did not enter Lucy's mind at all.

“Natsu, where are you? Don't do this,” she said in a trembling voice. This was more painful than anything she had ever seen. I felt even more lost than when I saw him get shot.

she is afraid

I was afraid that the picture from a moment ago would be the last I saw of him.

Afraid of leaving without even saying goodbye.

Lucy wasn't even sure what was going on right now. As usual, she and Natsu had to sit and eat the food her mother made. Talk and laugh together But now it's not. Not at all.

Then she realized something.

Today, she and Natsu didn't meet at the usual place. And she had never known this place before. -It's never been mentioned once-

Or would that be another mistake? And more importantly, his words today were astonishing. It was as if the matter now would end.

"I'm not playing, Natsu."

“Where are you going, Mr. Kantaba? Don't do this." She started to sob. before moaning incoherently But no matter what I did, there was no response, nothing at all.

Lucy finally stopped crying. She regained consciousness and shifted to lying on her back. The night sky reflected through a pair of beautiful eyes. The clouds slowly moved in the direction of the wind. Many stars twinkled out. It was spectacular and looked divine.

"What exactly is this about, Natsu?"

Every picture gradually faded. Lucy realized it immediately. -It's about to start again-

But then the last sound she heard made her flinch.

“I love you the most. ...Little Red Riding Hood, I'm sorry.”

'I'm really sorry, Lucy. I'm sorry.'

'I'm very happy'

'This is good'

Then everything returned to darkness.

The story has started again. And it still continues as before.

Until after the story ends

The girl whose heart is still broken Today when she met him There wasn't even a short conversation along the way. Every word and look from Natsu held a different tone than before. Even the ending scene where he always comforts her doesn't exist. It didn't happen. As if this wasn't him. It wasn't the Natsu she knew.

She walked straight along the original path. The two legs walked slowly like a mannequin.

"Lucy, where are you going?" Lucy's eyes widened. She turned around at the sound.

“Mother?” Lucy felt strangely goosebumps. No matter how many times, there was never a scene where her mother walked back to greet her after the party. And also called her name

“Yes, I heard that the wolf has been exterminated. It's good that the child is still safe. If the two hunters don't come and see the mother, she might lose her child,” Leyla said, sobbing. Lucy, on the other hand, looked at the pictures with an amused expression.

“In two days, we will move to the capital. Dad got a new job there. Are you happy, Lucy?"

"Huh?" Lucy was confused by what she saw. She had never even heard of her father. No, it had never been mentioned. No, there was only her mother and her at home.

And how did her father come? What about moving house again?

'What the hell is this?'

A slender hand was brought up to rest on his chest. Lucy's heart could hardly beat a beat. -She has never encountered a strange event like this-

“Oh, come on, Lucy. Where are you going, child?” Leyla shouted as she saw her daughter start to run towards the forest. before disappearing from sight She hurriedly turned to follow the people in the village, fearing further danger. The wolf may not be the only one.

Lucy ran all the way to her and Natsu's meeting point, turning around, yelling his name over and over. Eyes wet with tears Because the story now has changed. Too much had changed for her to be able to do anything.

"Natsu, Natsu, where are you, Natsu?"

“Natsu, answer me. I told you to answer, Natsu." There was still no response. Everything was quiet like never before. Lucy stood up. before walking to the place where the hunter had thrown his body away and hoping it wasn't like she thought.

'No, it won't be like that. Calm down, Lucy.'

'Natsu will be fine. Yes, he will be fine, like always, Lucy.'

Lucy was almost heartbroken. It felt like I was being pushed into the abyss. In front of him was the body of a wolf with sweet-colored fur, lying in a pool of blood. His body was completely motionless. And it started to get hard because he had been dead for several hours.

Lucy collapsed to the ground. Two hands wrapped around the wolf's body tightly. The tears flowed like a waterfall.

"Natsu, don't do this."

“Open your eyes now.”

“Open your eyes, you crazy eyes.”

“Natsu!!!”

There was still no response from the figure in his embrace. She screamed and moaned until people passing by saw her and had to hold her.

Lucy squirmed under the restraints of the village's arms. Now everyone was crowding around to look at her, but she didn't care what would happen. No matter how bad it is I just want one thing. -Don't be what you think-

“Natsu, wake up, ow! Let me go!” she shouted loudly. Try to shake your arms off. Until finally she was released from the control of her captor.

Some people rushed towards the wolf again. She hugged the small body tightly and rested her head on the fluffy fur. Tried calling again and again.

"Please, Natsu. No more. Wake up."

“Wake up and tell me that this is just a bad dream. Wake me up, Natsu.” Brown eyes were filled with desperation. The sound of crying spread everywhere.

The sight in front of her made the villagers think that the girl was not normal. Look, after she was tried to kill by a wolf. But now she was hugging the corpse and calling out the name of something. -Not crazy or insane- That's what the villagers thought.

“Layla, I think Lucy might have been shocked by the wolf encounter. You hurry and take your child to the capital for treatment.”

“That's right, you should take him away quickly.”

"Oh Lucy, that's so pitiful."

and many more voices that were spoken Those words did not enter the girl's brain in the slightest. All she wanted right now was for the figure in front of her to revive. She was only interested in the wolf's body in her arms.

Layla shook her head as she looked at her daughter. She thought no differently than the villagers. It is thought that Lucy may have gone into shock and tried to manipulate her memories to maintain her sanity.

“Please take Lucy out and find her remains as soon as possible,” the mother said. Even seeing how much Lucy now wanted to be with that wolf. But that was just the remains of a beast. It shouldn't cause her wonderful daughter to be tainted or hurt.

Lucy was pulled away from the wolf's body by many young men. She reached out and grabbed the body in her arms and protected it with all her life.

But what can a single teenage girl do?

Yes, she was defeated. She and the wolf's body were separated. Even though Lucy tried to scramble with all her might, But I couldn't reach it. The villagers set fire to it to prevent her from hugging her a third time.

“No, let me go, let me go!”

“Don't do that. Don't mess with Natsu."

"Don't do this. It's not true. No, Natsu isn't dead yet. Don't!"

“Scream, Natsu!!!!!”

Her voice couldn't reach anyone. The brown eyes closed as he saw the body of his beloved turn to dust before his eyes.

There's nothing left to think about.

There wasn't even a body left to touch.

The next day

A young blonde girl woke up on a soft bed. She raised her hand to her head and felt a strange throbbing pain. Two slender legs walked towards the bathroom. Doing errands in the morning before coming out wearing his favorite bright red hoodie

When walking downstairs She couldn't find her mother, who usually stood and cooked food like she did every day. And many things began to be packed very well.

It wasn't long before Leyla walked in through the door. Came straight to her and embraced her.

“It's okay, Lucy. Tomorrow we will leave here. There's nothing to be afraid of, dear child." Her mother's voice trailed off. Lucy's eyes widened again. Memories flowed in like an endless loop. It will be a picture of every morning, along the way, meeting, inviting, concluding the story. There was even a picture of her spending time with a young man with pink hair.

She screamed out with a broken heart. Praying that it was just a dream Lucy tried pinching and slapping herself repeatedly, hoping to wake her up.

'Wake up, wake up, wake up'

'Please, wake up, wake up from this crazy dream.'

'I don't want it anymore, I don't want this kind of world'

'Please, someone please wake me up'

Time passed until evening fell. Leyla wouldn't let Lucy take a single step out of the house because she was afraid that her daughter would do something strange or run into danger again.

But Lucy didn't want that.

It would be her mother, her grandmother, everyone in the village. Or be a hunter. They are not important. Not in Lucy's eyes at all.

Because she doesn't know anyone. She had never talked to anyone seriously before.

Her world consisted only of Natsu. People who have gone through all the stories together

In the middle of the night, the girl secretly climbed out of the balcony and went straight to the same place again. It's still the same. The feeling is still the same. She tried to look around, hoping to see the wolf in the young man's body one more time.

But no miracle happened.

Because she waited there until the sun began to peek over the horizon.

You have to accept the truth. Natsu didn't exist anymore.

“Tell me it's not true.”

"You'll come back to me, right, Natsu?" Tears still flowed from those beautiful eyes. His eyes that are often stared at and his smile reflect.

-Why is it like this?

What did we do very wrong?

Because we like to do as we please?

Because we are free after the story ends?-

Lord, please, please, please listen to my request.

'Let it be just a dream'

Please tell me that when I wake up I will find Natsu smiling at me like every time.

I could hear Natsu calling my name incorrectly.

Please, just hear, just see.

One more time would be good.

No.

Don't let us be separated again.

I'm begging you.

Please make us two like those constellations.

that were next to each other -

And that was her last day here. This village

Many years have passed

Lucy found it wasn't a dream. She's really living. She talked and met many people. I have done many things that I have always wanted and dreamed of. Now she works as the owner of a small flower shop. Sometimes I work as an outside photographer. She is very happy with these things. Everything was new to her.

No one calls her Little Red Riding Hood anymore.

She has an appearance that attracts people. Young men follow and flirt for a long time. And many girls approached to ask for tips. But Lucy didn't do anything special. She takes care of herself like everyone else does. Sometimes girls ask about her love life with guys who listen with open ears. Lucy always responded with a smile and said that she couldn't love anyone. which she never explained the reason for

-Because in her heart there is only the pink fur wolf-

“Miss Lucy, I, I…I have liked you for a long time. Please date me.” The old-fashioned love confession was almost a part of her routine. Lucy listened to it almost every day from many men. But she didn't make a face or turn around. She only lightly apologized and politely declined.

It's time to close up shop for the day. Today she closed four hours earlier than usual. Since there was a special job like being a regular cameraman, of course she could refuse, but she didn't.

Why?

The answer is simple.

The place you are going today is the village you came from. The village where it all began

A place of precious memories that she will never be able to return to. Because her mother was afraid that she would return to the introverted ways she had just left. But now she's old enough. Leyla couldn't stop her.

Today's work is finally finished. A photo collector couple asked her to take photos in many different locations. There are various and interesting angles. Now they both asked to go back and stay at the small hotel that had just been built recently. Actually, she should go as well since there was filming to continue in the late afternoon.

But I have come back. How can you miss the opportunity?

To this day Lucy still doesn't know how it happened. That she was able to break out of that cycle and grow. Everything is so amazing She and Natsu had gone through countless boring loops. I have looked for many ways but have never been successful. But suddenly it ended.

She still walked in the same direction. The night was quiet. The nostalgic atmosphere stirs up special memories. She never once forgot it. Both the voice and the smile Until the warm touch of his palm

Two fireflies slowly flew past her. before others begin to follow. Lucy looked at the picture with relief in her eyes.

“Let's go there and have a look,” she said. before turning around and walking along the path that I still remember It was the last way she went with him before everything changed. The most beautiful place that brown eyes had ever encountered.

She kept walking. There was no sign of finding a wide field. The sound of crickets resounds like a lullaby.

-Can't find it-

She stood in what should have been a field. The field where she hugged him that night was not. This place was just a lake with large rocks standing on it. Lucy became confused. She was sure she wasn't lost.

“Why isn't it a field?”

As she began to shake in despair The moonlight reflected off the large rock. When you look closely, you will notice that there are some marks carved into it.

She walked closer. Try using the light from your camera and a small flashlight to see them.

Then she fell to the ground because of what was written in it.

-Yo, Luigi, are you okay? By the time you come to read this, everything will have changed. You like the fields I brought you to see, right? I will be very happy if you like it. She must be acting funny. Shocked that I can write a book, of course, because I'm the Great Wolf. Haha.

Ah…let's get to the important stuff. Please read carefully.

I finally found a way to stop this. Do you remember? We can't get out of the situation. The night after the story ends will limit our space. But look, I found this place, also at night. Is that strange? I'm still shocked. What's even more strange. I also found a book.

On the cover is your name, Little Red Riding Hood. When I tried to open it and take a look. It was full of interesting things. It's like our story. I kept reading until I came across a sentence. Do you know what it says? I don't know, so I'll tell you. Hehe.

It says that if you meet here, everything will be over. Because this field is a place outside of our chapter. Any day you can come here It means there will never be another day for us again. And there is only one person who can move forward.

Ah…I know. It means that only one person can get out of this pitiful story. As for the other person, you have to make sacrifices.

Sorry for covering it up. I'm sorry I was selfish. I just want to stay with you like this forever. How many times can you die? It can be as long as you want. Because in the end, we'll be sitting together.

I really, really like the time we spend together.

Ah….I know you want to end it quickly. She wants to try living an independent life. Well, she always says it.

I can't. I'm not brave enough to tell you this way. But I know you want So I kept asking her if she was interested in going to beautiful places… It wasn't a script.

Lucy, I hope you're not mad at me for keeping quiet about this for so long.

If you read this message I probably won't be here, right? She'll probably grow up too.

Hey Lucy, are you happy? I fulfilled our promise. It's really over. You're free, Lucy.

I hope that one day we will meet again. Not as the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. But it was just Lucy and Natsu. I'm a normal person who can decide the ending for myself. I'm a normal person who doesn't have to see the other person die first.

Really crazy! Will I ever be able to tell you how I feel? Haha, I bet I will if the time comes.

Sorry again for never telling. And thank you for being alive to read this message.

Even though it is not determined who must sacrifice. But you know what I chose, right?

Don't be upset about it. Absolutely not. She will smile and have lots of friends. Now she can do what she always wanted.

Don't worry, because I have freedom too. I've had it for a very long time.

You can tell me, I'm afraid you'll feel hurt again. Haha.

My freedom It's the time I spent with you.

If it's not too much, please keep me in your memory.

Lucy, don't cry so easily. And please have fun on my part -

When she finished reading, Lucy cried again. It was something she had never known before. Things Natsu knew and did for her. Things he kept to himself

She shakily bent over and picked up a stone. He gripped it tightly before starting to write a message.

-Natsu, I'm fine. Of course I'm growing up. They're not kids like they were then.

It's true, I have friends and a lot of people like me. If you see this, you definitely won't like it.

I didn't know you remembered those promises. You're not wrong, Natsu. There's really nothing wrong with not telling this story. Because if it were me I'm sure I'll do the same.

Even if you say that, I'm still angry. I'm extremely angry that you would do something like this. Angry that you never told me. Angry that you left me. The most angry!

But I'm a kind person. Because then you can stop being angry!

Natsu, thank you for everything.

same for me I really like the time we sit and talk the most. Oh, and I really like the place you brought us. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

Natsu, I also hope that one day we will meet again.

I really miss you. Oh, I'm sorry for thinking this way. Even though the person who is most saddened is probably the person who knows everything like you.

Natsu, don't worry. I'll live my life for you, so please watch over me from somewhere.

Don't worry, I'll never forget you.

It's true, what you said. same for me

I love you so much. I'm sorry I never told you.

When she finished writing, Lucy sat down next to the rock. She held herself tightly with both hands. The image of the contract was still stuck in my head.

At that time, she was completely fed up with this loop. And started not knowing what topic to talk to him about. She was tired of it, tired of doing this over and over endlessly. Until finally, I vented to him as usual.

"This is Natsu."

"Is something wrong, Lucy?"

“You say one day Will we be able to get out of this?”

“I must get it, one day.”

“So, that's it. I really want to try growing up. I want to have a lot of friends. And I want to go outside and look.”

“So?”

“Um, it would definitely be fun if we had more freedom.”

"Come on Lucy, trust me, one day I'll finish it, I promise."

“Um.”

This is the conversation between the two of them back then. It ended with an unlikely promise, but now it's happened. They really got away with this story.

No, you were the only one who had come out of that world.

"Natsu, thank you for keeping your promise," Lucy moaned. Both hands were raised to cover watery eyes.

The sobs of the night echoed throughout the forest. A promise that came true It should be a pleasure for you. Because this was what she had always dreamed of.

“Can't I be the one who sacrifices instead?”

'If I knew it would be like this'

'If I knew I would lose you'

'I don't want it, Natsu.'

'Both the freedom that you gave me The whole time I'm living in'

'Because of the freedom I want'

'It's about living life together with you. You stupid wolf.'

“Haha, what's wrong with you, Lucy? You can't come to regret it. Have you forgotten that Natsu doesn't like to cry?"

“That idiot is going to call you a bitch again.”

Lucy looked up. Breathe out gently through your mouth. His eyes focused on the wide lake. The small waves created by the wind bounced back and forth before gradually calming down. Both hands were used to wipe away the tear stains from Sweet's face.

“Don't worry, Natsu. I will live my life for your part. I will take good care of what you have given me.”

'Because you will be in my memory-forever'

In the end, Little Red Cat couldn't be paired with a wolf.

Tick, tick, tick.

The alarm clock sounded. The bright blonde's body slowly stood up with a drowsy expression. She turned to close it and prepared to get off the bed. He found that there was something holding him back and that he had a familiar scarf on his other hand.

She quickly opened the blanket and looked at it. Eyes wide with shock When she saw the pink-haired owner of the Fire Dragon Slayer magic, hidden under her blanket and using his heavy arms to wrap around her body.

Without waiting, the young woman immediately raised her legs and kicked the body next to her with all her strength.

Thump!

"Ouch! It hurts, Lucy.”

“Who let you sleep in my bed, you idiot?” she replied when the person in front of her was still acting normal. It was as if he didn't feel guilty in the slightest.

“I didn't come alone. Are you happy?” He turned to ask about something on the head of the bed. Turning to look at Lucy, she saw a troublesome blue Existent who kept begging for her fish.

"Aile, Lucy is complaining again Natsu."

“You guys are this!! Go back!” She shouted again. Ready to push the intruder away from the house. They are her most important teammates. Plus, she also has rather special feelings for the pink-headed one.

"See you at the guild, Lucy."

“Isle”

When the two of them left, she held her head gently. The dream she had just now made her quite frightened. Deep inside I felt a tightness that I couldn't tell.

“This is a very realistic nightmare,” she said before walking into the bathroom.

The story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf has ended.

They don't belong together.

It's always like that. And it will be for eternity.

It would be great if both of them could choose the ending they wanted.

But who knows, maybe

Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf may have departed from those stories.

Have a new life that is free from roles

And now they might be setting their own ending somewhere.

Well, that might really be the case.

or that

Would you like to try being the one to decide the next chapter of their story? :)

End

How are you?

Congratulations, you have made your way to the end of the story.

Please don't worry.

Because the party will eventually end.

and as well

The party can always start over.

See you next time.

Okay.

Please close this book.

We hope it will be one of the books you will remember over time.

Hello everyone, first of all, thank you for coming to read this not-so-short story. (Yes, that's very long for a short story.)

This plot is a plot that Wright has wanted to try writing for a very long time. I haven't tried it yet because I was afraid it would be bad. Haha, but in the end! Wright was able to write it out//Excited!!! Even though it takes a bit too much time and length. Especially the opening and closing chapters, I tried to abbreviate the words (it really only worked like this).

I hope everyone likes it. Okay, let's leave with the cover photo.

P.S. For those who have passed by, please leave a long story that has now ended.

Fic Fairy tail

Please leave your heart's prayers.
