Chapter 47 Two Travelers(1/2)

On Earth, the two travelers were still looking at each other. Of course, the reasons for their silence were very different.

The little prince felt a little uncomfortable that he might have taken the wrong path. As for Kitahara and Kaede, he just thought of some past memories.

The little boy with golden hair comes from outside the earth...

These two keywords seem to have some magical power and can open the valve of a person's memory in an instant.

Holding up the illustrations in the book, my young self asked my parents, "Is this a hat or a python that swallowed an elephant?"...

I felt uncomfortable because I couldn’t see the lamb in the box either...

Every night in my childhood, I would look at the starry sky, trying to find myself in the asteroid b612...

Silently blessing myself that the little prince can return to his own planet and find his rose...

Those things that I thought had been completely submerged in the deepest memories quietly surfaced again, filling a certain corner of my heart with soft sourness.

——Do you know? My first love for the starry sky came from a lonely little prince and his roses.

If you fall in love with a child who lives on a star, then you will fall in love with all the stars in the night. If he smiles on one of the stars, then all the stars will smile.

Like a string of bells, they smile like this. Until one day, you completely forget this story and become an adult.

Beihara and Feng took a deep breath and tried their best to put back the sourness in their hearts.

How bad. If this continues, he might cry - just like the tamed fox: tamed guys tend to be more sentimental.

Those blurred memories sometimes even made him doubt: was he missing the beautiful and sad words in this book, or was he the person he was back then who was full of romance and longing for beauty.

Or is it that splendid and bright childhood that has long been buried in the past?

The traveler covered up the flash of memories in his eyes, brought his thoughts back to the present, and raised his eyes to look at the blond child in front of him.

The little prince... No, if it is related to the particularity of this worldview, it should be the author of this book, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry?

He has met many famous writers before. When it comes to literary status, neither Saint-Exupéry nor "The Little Prince" is actually the highest.

But the impact of The Little Prince is undoubtedly the greatest.

It turns out that when he was young, he could actually touch the most incredible and unattainable fantasies he had when he was young, just by raising his hand.

For a moment, Beihara and Feng felt that they had thought of a lot, but they seemed to have failed to grasp anything.

The long-haired princess on the tower, the mermaid singing in the sea, the glass slipper that has not disappeared after midnight, the elder tree growing out of the teapot...

In this world where words are magical, in this world where monsters and true legends exist - is it possible, I mean is it possible, that they are all things that can be reached?

The traveler could not help but smile as he felt the stories that his mother had told him that came to his mind.

Those fairy tales that only belong to childhood may be true. There is nothing more beautiful than this, right?

Of course, before all this…

The traveler bent down slightly, stared at the lost child in front of him, and smiled: "No, you are not lost."

"Although it's a bit presumptuous." Kitahara and Feng sighed, and then extended their hands to each other, "But at this time, please allow me to formally introduce myself."

"I am Kitahara Kazuka. On this planet, my profession is a traveler."

The traveler from a foreign land smiled at the child in front of him who also did not belong to this star:

"Welcome to Earth."

"Ah! Is this the Earth?" The little prince opened his eyes wide, and then laughed suddenly, "Then it looks so beautiful. I don't know why, but the adults I know always describe the Earth very strangely...

…My name is Antoine, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.”

"Of course, you can call me little prince. Everyone I know likes to call me that. I live in a newsstand on planet b612."

The little prince said with a smile, then stretched out his hand and shook the traveler's hand.

This is a very wonderful feeling.

Beiyuan and Feng held this small, soft hand, and suddenly a strange desire for protection arose.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why in the book, even the snakes in the desert liked the little prince - because he was indeed incompatible with this hard granite planet.

"By the way, why did you ask me if I was a painter before?"

Beihara and Feng sighed silently in their hearts, let go of their hands, and then asked with some curiosity - and maybe a bit of expectation: "Do you need me to draw some lambs?"

"..." The little prince thought for a while, and then asked the adult in front of him in a more curious tone, "What is a lamb?"

"Well, an animal with four hooves and curly fur?" The traveler thought about it for a while, and finally described it dryly.

He thought about it carefully, then took out his painting tools again, drew a sheep, and showed it to the little prince beside him.

"You see, that's what it is."

"Ah, is it sleeping?" The little prince touched the dozing sheep in the painting curiously, as if he really touched the lamb's soft curly hair, "its hair is so soft... Planet b612

There's never been anything so soft up there."

"It is a little lamb that likes to be quiet." The traveler looked at the other person's smile and couldn't help but smile, "I can give it to you."

Once the identity of the other party is known, the praise from this little critic makes people feel extremely happy - in some respects, there is no one in the world who has a more amazing vision than the little prince.

"No, what I want is not a sheep." The little prince raised his head and looked at the person in front of him intently, "Draw me a cat!"

"I always feel that whether it is Mr. Adams or Mr. Herbert, they miss cats on Earth very much." He said, "So please draw me a cat."

Wait, Adams and Herbert?

Beihara and Feng thought about it for a while, feeling like they heard some extraordinary name.

But that's not important. Anyway, it's just a name. As long as no real person appears, there should be no problem... right?

The traveler comforted himself silently, and quickly drew a short-haired dachshund that was tilting its head to look at people. Of course, it had another more famous name in another world:

Cheese cat.

I have to say that the American shorthair cat is really a lively, cute and beautiful cat that is very easy to raise.

When the alien child saw the cat, he said "Ah" in surprise, and then became a little hesitant.

"But it looks very lively... It would be terrible if it gets lost."

He looked at the cat seriously and thought about its future problems worriedly: "Many, many people come to the newsstand every day. If it gets lost with others, everyone will be very sad..."

"It's okay. The cat I gave you is very well-behaved and smart. Even if it gets lost, it will come back on its own."

Kitahara and Kaede said solemnly, and then drew a cat nest and a cat climbing frame on the side, and then added a lot of cat food. Of course, there were also cat litter and a cat litter box.

Well, that's no problem.

"Really? That's fine."

The little prince looked very happy and looked at the painting closely, his eyes sparkling, and then he took the initiative to share his story with the traveler.

"Actually, before I left, Mr. Adams told me that I can only believe the forty-two people I met on the earth." He said to the traveler, "Mr. Adams always felt that forty-two was a strange number...

…I never figured it out.”

In fact, I have no idea why 42 is "the answer to life, the universe and everything".

Kitahara and Kaede blinked, remembering "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Mr. Adams in three dimensions, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hmm, so I happen to be the 42nd person?"

The little prince looked a little embarrassed again.

"Actually, I only counted to the thirteenth." He said softly, "There are too many people on Earth, and I can't count them at all. So I thought I was in the wrong place."

"Pfft hahahaha...is that so?"

The traveler was stunned for two seconds, then he couldn't help but laugh out loud, and held a moment of silence for Mr. Adams who didn't know where he was: "But there are indeed too many people on the earth, it's hard to count."

"Adults are always only interested in numbers." The little prince said seriously, "But in fact, I don't care what the 42nd person is... I just want to make some friends."

Kitahara and Kaede looked at the little prince and remembered the lonely child watching the sunset in the book: "I thought you already knew a lot of people. You said that many people would come to the newsstand every day."

"Oh, yes. But what they care more about is the composition of a star: for example, one thing accounts for 55, another only accounts for 12, etc."

The little traveler didn't seem to understand their thoughts: "But in my eyes, the star is just a flower. There are red ones and white ones, hanging beautifully in the starry sky. It just looks like this."

.”

"...Is this so?"

Kitahara and Kaede sighed and rubbed the child's head. He didn't know how to comfort the other person - how to put it, although they are both products of human beings' most wonderful imagination, the painting styles of the fairy tale side and the science fiction side are indeed a little bit different.

Not very compatible.

But speaking of it, he still doesn't know what the other party's superpower is.

But if I'm not wrong, the effect should be to see the other side of things... It's a bit similar to his perspective, huh?

"I have a new idea now. I think we can at least give it a try." Kitahara and Feng thought for a while and felt a new idea pop up in their minds, "Do you know about the singularity?"

In Fumino's setting, the existence of singularity is quite special.

Abilities that are too similar or opposite will form unique points. But at the same time, the existence that can produce special points is not simply limited to abilities: the leader of the if line, Zaihe Shu, is an example.

In this case, can his "perspective" also form a unique point with other powers?
To be continued...
