### I. Little Imp Bessie

'Marlene, are you here?'

It's a silent forest. The breeze blows and everything around is quiet.

In a clearing surrounded by thorns, there's a giant tree with a sturdy trunk and luxuriant branches. Crystal clear fruits are hanging under the interlaced grayish purple branches.

The fruits look bright and smell faintly fragrant, as if luring every imp passing by to pluck and possess them.

She's here again.

Marlene hides behind the trunk of the Tree of Demon from which she was born. She can hide under its protection for as long as she wishes.

'Marlene...'

The dark-haired imp hovers eagerly from side to side under the tree

'Marlene.'

Perhaps because she doesn't receive a response for too long, the imp feels a little aggrieved. She looks at her toes dejectedly and murmurs, 'Marlene...'

Marlene looks at the imp standing nearby, breathes a sigh of relief, slowly reveals her figure and says, 'Bessie.'

To be continued...

### II. Fruits of Demon

'Marlene!'

Seeing Marlene finally appear, Bessie becomes happy. She looks at Marlene with delight and asks, 'Marlene I've been looking for you! Why don't you even answer me...'

Marlene looks back at Bessie helplessly...

She likes Bessie. Marlene is alone in this lonely forest, guarding the Tree of Demon and the Fruits of Demon. Bessie is the only imp who appears frequently and talks to her.

'Your forehead...'

Marlene opens her eyes wide. She notices a red lump on Bessie's forehead, as if she has been hit by something.

Marlene frowns and asks, 'Imps bullied you again, right?'

Bessie nods. She looks at the Tree of Demon and the coveted Fruits of Demon hanging on it. Then she says, as if unintentionally, 'If only I could have one Fruit of Demon...'

Marlene keeps silent for a moment, shakes her head apologetically, and answers, 'Bessie, the Fruits of Demon can only be enjoyed by the Devil King. It's my duty to guard them.'

Bessie knew that would be the answer.

She lowers her eyes.

Marlene speaks again, 'Well... If the other imps bully you next time, you can tell me. I can't leave the Tree of Demon, but I'll think of a solution.'

To be continued...

### III. Friendship of Demon

Marlene stares at the little imp in surprise and asks, 'Bessie... You... What happened?'

Bessie has another bruise on her cheek, which seems to have been cut by a sharp object. The wound isn't deep, but it looks terrifying.

Bessie takes a deep breath and answers, 'Nothing. Just a minor injury.'

Marlene is very sad, because Bessie is her best friend.

Instead of asking if Marlene can give her a Fruit of Demon again, Bessie changes the subject, 'Marlene, you've been here all the time. Is there anything you want to do?'

Marlene was born from the Tree of Demon. Since her birth, she has been guarding the tree and all the Fruits of Demon for the Devil King.

Marlene looks at the sky. Stars are in the night sky, making things fantastic and quiet. 'I... I learned there's a stream in the Firefly Forest. Stars would fall on the stream...'

'Firefly Forest?' Bessie feels surprised. She doesn't expect to get such a simple answer.

Marlene asks Bessie gently and calmly, 'What about you? Is there anything you want to do?'

Bessie nods and replies, 'There's one thing I want to do and must do.'

Marlene blinks and says, 'Bessie... You... You seem to be different from before.'

That timid and introverted Bessie who used to be bullied by other imps seems to have disappeared. Bessie, who is standing beside Marlene, looks decisive, brave and steadfast.

'But... Before I do that,' Bessie turns away and smiles at Marlene, 'let's take a look at the stars on the stream first.'

To be continued...

### IV. Sparks of Sheen

'Are those the stars on the stream?' Marlene holds a transparent glass jar in her hands and the jar is flickering with faint light. 'It's true!'

Bessie pulls a wry face and answers, 'They're no stars. They're fireflies. Who told you stars would fall on the stream?'

Marlene whispers. 'A long time ago, I heard a troubadour reciting that there was a shallow stream scattered with stars in the Firefly Forest.'

Bessie now realizes the Tree of Demon has a long lifespan, but all it knows is sunshine, rain, clouds, and breeze...

For a long time, the Tree of Demon has been silently gazing at a small piece of sky.

Does Marlene feel lonely? Bessie gets puzzled. She looks at Marlene, but Marlene doesn't notice it. Marlene is staring at the jar containing fireflies from a distant forest.

Firefly Forest isn't that far away, but to Marlene it's a place that until now has only existed in ancient poetry.

To be continued...

### V. Sweet Berry Soup

The peel of the Fruit of Demon is so hard that it needs to be stewed in a copper pot for three hours.'

"......"
'It's almost time.' Bessie stares at the Fruits of Demon in the pot. The fruits that were crystal clear on the tree turn into a bright red after stewing. They look like...

Strawberry juice.

Bessie takes a sip of the fruit soup in the bowl. It's different from the strange taste she has imagined. The soup made from the Fruits of Demon tastes sweet and delicious.

To be continued...

### VI. A Letter of Apology

'Sorry Marlene. I'm a liar.' Marlene reads a letter. 'I'm the Devil King's daughter. I want to defeat my father to create a new order. I want everyone to be happy. But I'm weak.'

Marlene lowers her eyes and she looks calm.

'I know the tree and you will sleep on the full moon night. I stole three fruits on the night. I'll defeat him. Then the tree will be shared by all imps and you can go anywhere.'

Marlene raises her head and looks at the narrow path among shrugs as she usually did...

That's the path from which Bessie used to appear.

'You believe her, too,' Marlene touches the branch beneath her, don't you?'

The breeze blows through the crown of the Tree of Demon, and the leaves produce a soft whistling sound, as if they're answering Marlene's question.

To be continued...

### VII. Decisive Battle

'Bessie! You betrayed me!'

From inside the stone Castle comes a furious shout that shakes the square, 'How dare you steal the Fruits of Demon and try to defeat me!'

Almost in an instant, someone breaks through the solid castle ramparts, sending gravels flying in all directions. A huge black figure bursts out and flies over the square.

'Father! A small figure appears after the Devil King. Her skirt is flying out in the air, 'Stop being bigoted! If I have to defeat you to change the absurdities, I'll go all out!'

The Devil King laughs, his eyes full of mockery, 'Then I'll force you to sleep forever in the underground! Bessie, do you think you can defeat me by stealing the fruits?'

'I'll give it a shot anyway!'

Bessie attacks first. She condenses her black magic into a huge sword and thrusts it hard at the Devil King.

The Devil King raises his arm slightly and his parry smashes the sword.

Bessie's magic immediately scatters in all directions. Even Bessie herself falls down due to the great shock, hurtling towards the ground.

I can't defeat my father, who has been eating the Fruits of Demon for a long time.

Am I overreaching myself?

Bessie becomes dizzy. She looks at the sky and suddenly feels a little sore in her eyes.

Just before landing, a soft hand caresses Bessie's back. She's gently taken into someone's arms.

To be continued...

### VIII. Tree of Demon

'Marlene!' Bessie can't believe what she's seeing.

Marlene wears a long-lost smile. She hugs Bessie and whispers, 'It's ok. I have a solution.'

Bessie wants to ask questions, but she feels a warm current wrapping her. The strong power flows through her body, re-condensing her magic. Bessie feels her magic is more powerful.

Marlene, however, disappears gradually.

Bessie opens her eyes wide in disbelief. She reaches out to grab the fragments flying in the air, but they turn into light spots and disappear between her fingers.

'Marlene!' cries Bessie.

'Marlene! Don't leave!'

Marlene replies in her usual calm tone, 'Bessie, do what you want to do. I trust you.'

To be continued...

### IX. End

'What's after?'

A little imp is lying on the grass, resting his cheeks and looking at the young imp who is watering in front of him, 'Do the prince and princess live happily together forever?'

The young imp replies, 'There's no prince and princess! They exist in human stories! A re you listening to my story?'

The little imp complains in a low voice, 'Fairy tales should have a happy ending! The ending of this story isn't good at all!'

A woman dressed in a linen robe arrives in a hurry and scolds the little imp, 'Vincent! What are you doing here!'

She grumbles a few words before spotting the Devil King standing by and she makes a quick salute.

'I'm sorry, Devil King, but he has always been naughty. Did he bother you?'

Bessie shakes her head and replies with a smile, 'No, he's very cute.'

The young woman pulls the naughty imp along the stone-paved path towards the village.

Only then does Bessie turn her head and look at the withered Tree of Demon. She sighs sadly and turns her eyes to the foot of the tree...

A new green sprout grows there, shaking gently in the morning sunshine.

Bessie mutters to herself, 'I hope... I hope it's a happy ending.'
