Sugar Apple Fairy Tale

This is a story of a long, long time ago.

This country, Highland Kingdom, used to be a nation of the fairies.

The fairies loved peace.

They loved beauty and joy, and for centuries they lived in peace.

But the present fairies are pitiful.

Right. They're pitiful, aren't they?

That is because 500 years ago, the human rebelled

and made the fairies their servant.

A lot of people said

the fairies are just fools who lived in indolence and lost to humans,

but I don't think so.

The fairies are simply fewer than human and lost in a contest of strength.

Why do you think so, Mom?

Because, look at this.

That's beautiful.

Here.

So delicious!

The sugar candy is a holy food.

It lengthens the life of fairies and grants human great happiness.

The one who first invented sugar candy is a fairy.

Really?

The fairies discovered how to get silver sugar from sugar apple.

And then sugar candy was born.

That's why candy crafters...

And especially, the Silver Sugar Maker, should be kind to fairies.

We should see them as friends.

You too, Anne.

Yes!

Look after me, Mom.

I will definitely be a Silver Sugar Maker, just like Mom.

Okay, here we go!

Wait! Anne!

Wait for me, Anne!

Jo-Jonas?!

You're so mean, going without saying anything!

S-sorry.

I feel like if I say goodbye, you'd stop me.

Even if you don't, I'll come to stop you anyway.

Jonas, I'm really grateful to you for all these times.

Your family and the whole village have been so kind to my mom.

But I've told you, right?

I want to join this year's Royal Candy Fair.

Or rather, I should join.

Please understand.

I understand, after all, I'm a candy crafter.

But it's impossible for you to get to Lewiston alone now.

You're small for a 15 years old.

You're skinny, and your only assets are that rickety carriage and horse.

But I love you as you are.

That's why, marry me!

I've told you, right?

Ever since your family moved to this village,

I've always been infatuated with you.

I will feel the gap in your heart with my presence.

I'll make you happy for your mom's sake too.

Moreover, my family is wealthy.

We're bloodline from Radcliffe Workshop founders...

A-Anne? Wait!

Goodbye, Jonas! Be well, okay?

Anne, wait! Anne!

It's impossible for Jonas to really propose to me.

He's just empathetic of me for losing my mother.

I can't think of marrying for empathy.

Ah, no.

Rather, I don't want to.

To marry, be someone's wife...

I want to live my own life.

I want to chase my dreams.

Right, Mom?

Hey, you shit! This twerp!

Excuse me, what is happening?

Get this! You thief!

A fairy?!

That's the fairy hunter's worker fairy.

He stole his own wing and tried to run away.

You thief.

I'll crush your wing like this!

Stop it!

That's so cruel.

The wings are the life of fairies! Why doesn't anyone help?

Well, of course because he is a fairy.

Moreover, fairy hunters have a bad temper.

If we help recklessly and anger them,

- How is it? - If we help recklessly and anger them,

- Will you promise to never defy me, - they might take revenge.

or steal your wing and run again?

H-Hey!

You freak! Who will just promise to a mere human?

I'll grab it as many times as I need, that's my wing!

Fine, then! I will kill you here and then!

Pardon me.

One, two.

Okay, here.

Wait!

Hah! I won't say thanks to a human! I'll remember this!

Oh, well. I am part of the human he despises after all.

Damn you! You let my precious worker fairy go!

How will you pay me back?

But you're about to kill that worker fairy, right?

Then, isn't it the same as gone?

- You little! - Hey! That's enough!

Will an adult hit a child like that?

Even if it's to a fairy, you're over the line!

- That's right! That's right! - Damn, I will remember you, okay!

Get away! Scram! - Take that!

- You're amazing, little girl. - Get away! Scram! - Take that!

- You're amazing, little girl. - Don't return here ever!

You fought with such a small body just for a fairy.

It's nothing.

Thought I look like this, I'm 15 years old.

I'm legal by this country's standards.

Oh, pardon me.

That said, you're such a kind girl.

About that, I'm actually not at all.

Sir, where is the fairy market?

- This is worker fairy, he'd work hard. - Don't you need any pet fairy?

- There're many pretty ones. - Come. Come!

If we just hold one of their wings, they'd do all of our bidding!

We own them!

Hey, do you sell any warrior fairies?

We don't sell that kind of violent type.

The old man in the corner is selling one.

But you better not buy it, that one is a defect.

Thank you.

He's... beyond beautiful.

I have never seen a fairy like him.

I thought I've seen you before, turns out just a scarecrow.

Scarecrow?

You. I'm talking about you.

Yes, you. Scarecrow.

S-Scarecrow?!

What a rude thing to say to a growing young lady!

Scarecrows have no growing period.

Y-You're so rude!

Sorry about that, Young Lady. My item here has a foul mouth.

He picks a fight to everyone that passes.

Ignore him, just go along now.

Of course I can't ignore him!

This is maybe uncalled for, but no one will buy a foul mouthed pet fairy!

Why don't you just free him?

This one isn't a pet fairy. It's a warrior fairy.

What?

Just to hunt him, three hunters died. He's very skilled.

Y-You've gotta be kidding!

All warrior fairies I knew are all way bulkier and bigger.

For a fairy seller, trust is paramount.

We never lie.

You see, I come to buy a warrior fairy.

Isn't there any other than this one?

Warrior fairies are hard to handle, the one I sell is the only one.

Or rather, I don't see anyone else selling.

Hey, Scarecrow.

Are you referring to me?

Who else other than you?

Stop dilly-dallying and just buy me.

B-Buy? You order me?

This is great!

This is the first time I heard him said "go buy me" himself.

Are you getting love at first sight with this young lady?

What?

Don't put me on the same plate as you.

What?

I said don't think of me to be the same as you,

you filthy human.

Stop...!

Wait! What are you doing? Stop it!

- One hundred cress. - What?

This is enough, right?

Oh, gold!

You sure know the deal, girl.

But you're doing a great purchase. Here, take his wing. Check it.

This is...
