NEETS
Chapter 25: Island of the fairies

long story short We managed to get into the foggy island in the middle of the lake, but we did not land on the main island but on the branch island.

it is not easy to enter this foggy island.when we approach the outside of the fog our ship has been welcomed by the ship of the human continent kingdom that is on guard on the island. it was a miracle we made it through those big ships, thanks to the submarine technology that Think made for our little ship.

this island is very cool breeze always blows on this island.just somehow this wind is like confined to this island and can not get out through the fog barrier that surrounds the island.

as I said earlier here there is a central island and a branch island.the central island is a rather large island located in the middle. but around the island surrounded by the fence of the human continental government forces, because of that we also cannot freely enter there.

furthermore, the island where we landed at this time is the island of the fairies.this is a branch island here a lot of small trees that are suitable for hiding. so while me and my friends are sheltering here to continue with the next plan.

actually we want to go into the village of the fairies but the village is too small and humans are not allowed.only Shiva is allowed to enter there.

but there is something strange about the fairies.unlike Shiva who has wings like butterflies the fairies on this misty island does not all have wings. some of them have wings, some don't. I'm a little worried about this.

strangely also the fairies do not know why their wings can be lost, but it makes them pity.they should be able to fly here and there and take shelter on the tree from predators. you even have to lose all that.

we assigned the little fairies to guard the village of the fairies so that there would be no more theft of wings. I want to reject it because I also do not have time to save Lana from the human continent government forces. but the fairies said one of their friends had the information to get through that tight guard.

the fairies said that person would come tomorrow if not the day after the investigation, so that's why me and my friends are waiting for him.

night has arrived.me, Jack, Mia and Momo stand guard outside the village of the fairies.we stand guard as usual around the village area.but nothing has happened.

did not feel we were on guard when it showed midnight.Suddenly sleepy air enveloped me. Momo and Mia seemed to have fallen asleep.well maybe they were also exhausted. Because I thought I was also sleepy and tired and also it didn't seem like anything I wanted to go to sleep with.

"R try not to sleep even though sleepy as possible" said Jack while trying to wake up.

"hoaaahh, but I'm so sleepy Jack." I replied.

I don't know why I fell asleep after saying that. After that I know Jack tried to wake me up but I've lost this drowsiness.

the next morning I woke up and a commotion ensued.5 The elves lost their wings and what I was most worried about happened. Shiva who was supposed to be guarding inside the fairy village instead had to lose his wings as well without him noticing.

he looked so sad, and blamed me for everything that happened.

"why, why R why. why don't you take care of us. I've tried so hard to keep the fairies from that person but you didn't show up to help me at all." said Shiva who was grieving for losing his wings.

Shiva then goes away outside the village, and Mia follows him maybe she wants to calm Shiva's feelings.

I wanted to chase and refute Shiva's words but it was my fault and Jack was holding me back. If I hadn't fallen asleep by then maybe I could have stopped the mastermind behind the theft of this fairy wing.

Jack suddenly appeared from behind me with a wound.he patted me on the shoulder and said.

"it's not all your fault R" Jack said

"Jack, why are you so scarred?" much

Jack said that last night we fell asleep not because of sleepiness but someone who spread pollen from blue moon lilies. he also explained to all that the flower has pollen that is not colorful, tasteless and smelly. The powder has an anesthetic effect that can make us sleepy naturally. but for some people like Jack who is a Hunter, he has the ability to withstand the effects of the flower.

the person who did this must be someone who is already an expert in his field. Jack said that the person who came to the fairy village was a skull masked person and carried a twin dagger on his back, Jack said it was likely the person who kidnapped Lana.

Jack tried to block the man with all his might, but because of the effect of the blue moon lilies, he was easily defeated.

when Jack explained what had happened to everyone. Suddenly the bell rang I thought it was the enemy and prepared the weapon, but it was not the enemy.

one of the fairies flew towards us and shouted an announcement.

"king's coming..!! king's coming..!!"

I wonder what their king is like.The king of a fairy will be a very powerful creature or maybe a fairy who has very beautiful wings.

in my mind like that, but all that came was a little child maybe his body was as tall as Momo in his human mode. the child also had eyes that looked like a sleepy person with eye bags and panda eyes in his eyes that showed that he rarely slept.

I tried to look at his status with the power of my libra eyes but just like when I saw Felix's status there was only a description in the form of "?". I was confused what exactly they were.

the fairy king casually came towards me and immediately looked at me. He surrounded me and looked at me seriously.

even I who was a bit uneasy asked the fairy king.

"eee... lord fairy king.. Why are you so serious about seeing me?." I asked

after I said so he stopped surrounding me and smiled and said.

"oh sorry son. My name is Astrea, the fairy king here.I'm just curious about you" said the fairy king Astrea.

it feels strange to be called "son" by someone who looks younger than me, but from an age it seems like the king of the Astrea fairies is very old.

"oh thank goodness then. oh lord king my name is R. I'm looking for my friend who was kidnapped here. can you help me find him?" ask me again to the king

the fairy king Astrea thought for a moment then answered my question.

"what do you mean the green-haired elf lady?" tanyakanya.

jack and I were shocked.

"uh, how did you know?" much

Jack pulled me up and said "it doesn't seem like he's an R-man"

"xixixi. You guys think I must be a person who can predict and so on. You guys are wrong. I happened to meet him when I went underground to check on Cristal element. because her guard was too tight I couldn't continue on my way. uh I just happened to meet her in prison. Then I released her" said the fairy king Astrea

"continue now where is my friend?" much

"oh he's at the front gate, playing around with the citizens.he said he wants to heal the wounds of the fairy who lost her wings." replied the fairy king Astrea

without a second thought I immediately ran towards the entrance gate of the fairy village.and it was true that Lana was there.she also saw me and very happily waved her hand at me. I ran towards him and reflexively hugged him.

Lana pushed me and her face looked red.

"ma, I'm sorry Lana my body feels so happy that reflex hugs you" I said.

"T. it's okay." Lana says that with a face that still looks flushed.

Momo, who was in the form of a cat that had been following me, also seemed very happy that she jumped straight towards Lana and Lana caught him and hugged him tightly.

"thank God Miss Lana is okay. Momo is very happy" Momo said

Lana who has seen us all gathered in the fairy village looks happy too, but something seems to disturb Lana's mind.

"eee... no, it's just that I didn't see Shiva and also Mia. where are they about R?" ask Lana.

"about that, I don't know where Shiva is either. He ran into the forest over there and Mia followed him from behind. he said he wanted to calm Shiva's heart." I said.

"oh like that. well maybe I should also help calm the heart of our little fairy, and well. for you R. You and Jack better focus on the element crystals. and Shiva let me take care of it. If you want you can ask the fairy king Astrea."

after saying that Lana heals Jack's wound first.then go into the forest in the direction where Shiva went. after that Jack and I met the fairy king Astrea again to ask for more information on how to get to where the element crystals are located.

***

Lana goes into the forest to find Shiva not long after she sees a little elf sitting on a log near the river along with a woman beside her. that woman is none other than Mia. Lana called them from a distance.

"Mia´s.. Shiva..!! hey. What are you guys doing there?" yell Lana

who responds to Lana's scream is only Mia. she looks shocked to hear Lana's scream. After that Mia looks back and looks so happy to see Lana anywhere running towards Lana and directly embraces her.

"thank God Lana. You're fine. how did you get away with the kidnapping.?" ask Mia

"the length of the story Mia. essentially there's someone who saved me. oh yeah, how's Shiva.?" said Lana.

"eee... how do you explain it? I tried to persuade her not to be sad but she still didn't listen to me." continued Mia.

Lana patted Mia on the shoulder and said "just leave this to me. You quickly go back to the village. They are discussing the problems that have happened in the village."

"oh, fine then, but you have to stay careful Lana. We don't want to lose you again.understand." replied Mia

"yes yes, I know, I understand."

after that Mia returned to the fairy village and Lana approached Shiva and sat on the same wooden block as him on the riverbank.

"hey Lana. congratulations on your success back with us" Shiva said in a limp tone.

Lana smiled and stroked Shiva's head with her fingers flattened.

"already, do not be sad continue. yes I know it feels like losing something valuable from our body is painful.I know that you feel Shiva.because I have experienced it" said Lana

"had experienced it? what do you mean Lana. You're fine" asked shiva

"let me tell you a story" said Lana.

Lana also began to tell a story to Shiva. she said this story began before Lana was born into the world of NEET. she told me that she was a girl who worked in a company owned by her father. the company was focused on developing a new model of the game, and Lana was told by the company to observe someone.

the person was one of the employees at the electronics retail company.The company had Lana make observations to look for candidate people to try their new games.

Lana said she had to disguise herself as a new employee at the company and at that time her coach was the chosen one.

first Lana thinks she is a quiet and very serious person because of the look of her creepy eyes.look like a person who has lost too much and is disappointed.

but after getting to know and meet the person in person. turns out to be different from what Lana thought.it turns out that person is more pleasant than Lana thought.he is a good person, friendly and attentive. and what amazes Lana most is that the person does not think of himself.he is always there and is happy to help his friends who are in trouble.

the coolest thing about that person is his expertise in playing games.in the break time the person sometimes took his time playing games and his skills are very extraordinary.

but a week passed after Lana got into the company.The person suddenly disappeared.and Lana get the info that she was accused of embezzlement of company money. Lana did not understand, when she asked her friends they did not want to give a description.It even looks like there is nothing at all that helps the person.

Lana continued to look for information about the whereabouts of the person, and it turned out that she was applying to several more companies, but somehow she noticed that no company accepted the person. Lana thinks that maybe it's all because of the case that happened to her.

one day Lana finds a place where she lives. Lana also follows the person who does not seem to give up and want to apply for work again, but because of the pressure she receives the person looks very frustrated even like he does not care anymore about his life.

at that time Lana followed him at the crossroads.the person who crossed there was quite crowded.the person walked by using earphones. what song he was listening to but he was doing it to isolate himself from the outside world.

when crossing the crossroads, people pushed him and he fell down along with the paper of his application file, and it just so happened that there was suddenly a car that lost control sliding right towards the person. that person was unaware of it because of the earphones he was wearing.

Lana runs and encourages the person to avoid a collision.But Lana is the one who eventually becomes a victim.she is hit hard by the car that makes her bounce and unconscious.

I don't know how long it's been and what happened to the guy after that nobody knows, but Lana knows she's already in the hospital.

doctors diagnosed Lana with paralysis of both legs, which made her unable to walk forever.

Lana is very frustrated with it, even to the point of depression, she does not want to eat and drink because of it.

lana's father, who is worried about this, eventually takes a very risky step by bringing Lana into this world. I don't know what she's doing but suddenly Lana is awakened in the world of NEET with a new face and a new name that is "Lana".

Lana says she still has no purpose in this world but when she sees R and his friends something changes from her life. for some reason when he saw R he felt that the sacrifice he made was not in vain even though in the real world he had to give up both legs. but at least because it was the life of someone precious to him survived.

"eh wait, Lana. why did you tell me that.?" ask Shiva.

Lana holds Shiva's shoulder and light emerges from Lana's hand, as the light grows back and recovers.

Shiva was very happy and then flew around Lana, he flew in front of Lana and said thank you to her.

"thank you, Lana, you are my best friend" said Shiva, who was very happy.

"yes, as a friend I don't want you to be sad Shiva and also you are very important as the guide fairy R" said Lana

Shiva was surprised by Lana's words.

"ke, why do you know that I'm the guide fairy R. and wait for you to say before you come here you are someone from another world.. the woman I've been looking for all this time with R.?" ask Shiva

"maybe. for a moment I don't understand what you mean?" ask Lana again.

"Well answer my question. Is it possible that you're a play..?"

not finished talking a dagger pierced Shiva's back until it pierced Shiva's chest. Instantly he turned into light and turned into a ball of ice lacrima. Lana caught the ball.

"Sim..!!!" shouted Lana.

after that a masked man emerged from the river in front of where Lana and Shiva were sitting.The man appeared with his leisure from behind the water leading to Lana. he is a man who is no stranger to Lana, the man who had kidnapped Lana before the skull-masked Hunter.

The hunter pointed his dagger at Lana and said.

"it turns out you're a more valuable person than I thought you were, miss. It's fitting that King Hart is so obsessed with you. I won't let you go"

after that person appeared quickly Lana cast her wind magic Aerora magic then she made a huge wind storm to make the people who were in the fairy village shocked by it.

R and the other friends who saw the signal immediately rushed towards the direction of Lana's signal.
