24 – 24. Plateau (2)

Nineve was a perfect prey for the fairies who were always looking for someone to tease.

No matter how badly the fairies teased her, she was an opponent who wouldn’t be upset at all. Recently, I haven’t been able to see where she’s been, but before, Nynaeve chased after the fairies every day and whined about playing with them.

Even though the fairies always teased her, Nynaeve only whimpered a little, and cried again, whining for the fairies to follow her and play with her.

Of course, the fairies never treated Nineve in the same position as themselves.

They treat her as something dirty, insignificant, and unclean, ranked below them.

In the eyes of the fairies whose origins were close to magic, Nineveh’s essence was vaguely visible.

Something wrong. A being that should not exist. Something that is disrupting the balance of the world.

That was the essence of Nineve that the fairies saw.

“Ni~n~b~!”

The fairies that found Nineve all flew up and flew near Nineve who was crying.

The blonde-haired fairy who flew first in the lead spoke in a soft voice with a malicious smile.

With lots of false affection.

“what’s the matter? huh? Nynaeve, why are you crying?”

“Huh… Huh…!”

However, Nineve, who collapsed while walking, shed tears and cried, not answering the fairies’ questions.

I couldn’t answer precisely. Crying rose to the top of my throat, so words couldn’t come out properly.

One of the fairies flying around her asked in a curious tone.

“Nineve, won’t you ask us to play together today? Haven’t seen it lately. Nineveh, if that’s true, then we won’t play at all from now on. okay? Answer me.”

At the same time, other fairies flew close to Nineveh, clutching at his stomach and laughing as if dying of laughter.

Laughing at Nineveh’s swollen face from tears.

“Ahahahaha! Nineveh, runny nose! dirty! Ugly!”

“Nineve, your eyes are puffy! Go wash your face! ugh! I don’t want to play with a dirty kid like that!”

“Nineve! fool! idiot! Licking!”

Nineve wiped away the unstoppable tears with her hand and buried her head between her knees. As if you don’t want to see anything.

And he grumbles and speaks sadly.

“Don’t do it… Nineve’s not stupid… Hmm, Nineve’s not stupid… Nineve’s not ugly…”

“Nineves are idiots! Even the face is ugly! dirty!”

“Sir… don’t say that… Nineveh, please don’t… black.”

Immediately, one of the fairies laughed in a shrill voice. But even so, Nineveh was unable to mount any counterattack.

Since the red dragon, who had been her only friend, had declared the severance of relations with her, these fairies were the last remaining relationships for Nineveh.

“Nineve~ We don’t hate Nineve. Is everyone okay?”

The blonde-haired fairy asked for consent from the other fairies with an eerie smile as if she had remembered something. The other fairies instantly understood the blond-haired fairy’s intentions and agreed with a quiet smile.

“that’s right! We don’t hate Nineve~.”

“Raise your head Nineveh!”

“Nineve, shall we play together? huh?”

The fairies talked to Nineve, who was sitting down with her face buried between her knees, with soothing voices.

“…. really? Nineve, won’t you? Heeep.”

Nineve I really like you, Nineve let’s play with us. The fairies began to whisper sweet words in her ear as she lowered her head.

“of course! Why do we hate Nineve? Is everyone okay?”

The blonde-haired fairy stood right in front of Nineveh’s face and wiped away Nineveh’s tears with gentle movements. Compared to the Fairy’s small hands, Nineveh’s tears were so large that the blonde haired Fairy’s hands were all wet with Nineveh’s tears.

The blonde-haired fairy put on an annoyed expression for a moment, but quickly erased that expression from her face and smiled again.

“that’s right! We love Nineve! Kick kick!”

“yes? Nineve, they say they like you! thank god. huh.”

The blonde-haired fairy grinned and flapped her wings once. When the fairy dust that fell from the fairy’s wings touched Nineveh’s nose, Nineveh coughed softly.

A light of hope slowly blooms in Nineveh’s dead eyes. I thought that those who always laughed at me and bullied me would become my friends.

“really? Hey, you don’t like Nineveh? Hey, then will you make friends with Nineveh?”

“Then, of course!…… Screaming, one. If Ninev does just one favor, we’ll be friends!”

“……. What do you want?”

“What I said last time! Hey, all you have to do is go to the cave on the plateau and bring me the shiny crystal! easy? Come on, wake up!”

The blonde-haired Fairy flew around in a flurry of colors as her conversation with Nineve finally started to go the way she wanted.

Of course, the fairies had no intention of playing with Nineve even if she really succeeded in carrying the sparkling crystal.

And I wouldn’t mind if she went into the dragon’s cave and was eaten by the dragon.

Because fairies were originally such beings. Fairies whose standards of good and evil do not apply to humans.

Moreover, if Nineve, whom they hated, was the object of the prank, they did not mind it even more.

Don’t do that, Nineveh hadn’t noticed at all. No, I was aware of it to some extent, but I was forced to pretend I didn’t know.

Because Nineveh was lonely. I was lonely to the point of being deeply, to the bone.

Nineve is always a loner.

Even if someone hates me, I want them to stay by my side.

I didn’t want you to hate Nineveh.

Nineveh was longing for warmth.

“Nana! there is! I brought you a shiny crystal! I don’t have one right now, but Nineveh, you really have a shiny crystal!”

The magic crystal the red dragon gave for himself. The crystal shard was clearly in Nineveh’s possession.

The shiny crystal that the good dragon took from the ceiling instead of her because she was fooled by the words of the fairies and insisted that it was absolutely necessary.

As he recalled the red dragon that had ruthlessly chased him away, Nineve’s stomach tingled again and the cry that had barely stopped was about to burst out.

“Sparkling crystal, Nineve, I don’t need that. I can give you anything like that. If I give it to you, will you make friends with Nineveh?”

“what?”

The blonde-haired Fairy was taken aback.

It wasn’t the reaction she had imagined from Nineveh.

From noble mtl dot com

The blonde-haired fairy naturally expected Nineve to nod her head with a foolish face and say “Okay,” but she didn’t expect that she would say that she had a sparkling crystal.

He was so flustered that he stopped flapping his wings for a moment and plummeted downward for a moment.

The Fairy flew up again and opened her mouth.

“How does Nineve have the shiny crystal!? Are you saying you went to the dragon’s cave? lie! Do not lie!”

“Nineve, I didn’t know. Is that the dragon’s cave? Did you guys know? But why didn’t you tell Nynaeve? Nineveh, I was surprised the first time I went.”

“That, that! Anyway, don’t lie! You idiot! “Stupid Nineveh!”

The blonde-haired Fairy stuttered for a moment, then shrieked again. As if agreeing with her words, the surrounding fairies simultaneously slandered her.

“fool! Dirty Nineveh!”

“I don’t play with liars! go away! Live!”

“Ugly!”

Tears began to fill the corners of Nineve’s eyes again as she listened to the slander of the fairies. The silver-haired fairy wept bitterly.

“It’s not a lie! Nynaeve really went to the cave. You, Nineveh! Nynaeve! “A dragon, a dragon!”

After a moment of hesitation, Nineve continues.

“The dragon and Nineve are friends!”

The surroundings became quiet.

The fairies, who had been blaming and ridiculing loudly, heard Nineveh’s nonsensical words for an instant and all became dazed.

The terrifying red dragon and this filthy, shabby Nineve are friends!

It was nonsense for the fairies to hear.

“… liar!”

One of the fairies shouted through the silence, and at that, the other fairies came to their senses and criticized in a harsh voice.

“liar!”

“liar!”

“liar!”

“liar!”

The fairies circled around Nineveh and shouted the same words over and over again.

Eventually, Nineveh’s cries broke out again. tears flowing down. I can’t get my words out easily because I keep crying and my breath is rising.

cried Nineveh, clenching her fists and running down her nose.

“It’s not a lie! Really! Dragon and Nineve are friends! Nineve is not a liar! No! Whoa!”
