Chapter 18 The story in the notes

"Laputa..."

"Yes…"

"It exists!"

The man's rough and deep voice crossed the wilderness! Mixed with the same rough gravel and the scorching sun as sharp as a spear, it spread far away...

"There are only two of us here, you're too noisy!" The child's voice was somewhat crisp: "You just need to talk to me, right?"

The man's semi-long hair looked very stylish when there was wind (although he hated the sand that could penetrate every pore), but at noon, the windless and hot weather would make the greasy hair hang limply on the man's cheeks.

It made him look like a wild man.

And they are savages living in the Sahara Desert, which sounds even more miserable than savages.

Fortunately, he had someone with him - during the time when his damaged aircraft was being repaired.

Looking down, a head of soft golden hair appeared before his eyes: it was more golden than the yellow sand all over the ground, and the ends of his hair curled upwards, unlike his own disheveled appearance. This boy who called himself the little prince was elegant and innocent even under the scorching sun.

“Because the desert is beautiful.”

This is how he answered himself when the man asked, "'Why are you here?'"

"Ok."

The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat down under the ruins, hid in the shadows and waited for the noon to fade.

"I just want to tell you that Laputa exists." He stared at the azure sky above the desert in a trance, as if the majestic castle was hidden in the thick cumulus clouds. "Many people say I'm a liar, but you're the only one who believes me."

"Of course I believe it." The little prince said puzzledly: "I already have a talking rose, I have seen the fox and the king, and I met the lamplighter——"

"There are also alcoholics who drink all day long. The reason they drink is because they are annoyed that they always drink."

Really…hahaha.

The man laughed heartily: "I will find Laputa one day! I will prove it to those..."

As he spoke, his voice gradually became lower and his eyebrows drooped to the sides.

"Yes, you finally found the problem, didn't you?" The little prince stood up, dusted off his clothes, and tiptoed on the sand, making a faint friction sound: "You are an adult, how can you not understand the adults' thoughts?"

He also found a shady place to sit down, not far from the man, then pulled his collar, raised his head, and looked at the thick clouds in the sky with the man in a comfortable posture.

"They just ask: 'Did you find it? What's there? Is there any gold?' So what do you say?"

"If you say 'yes', you will get a response like 'Take us there now!'"

"If you say 'no', the crowd will scatter, leaving behind a bunch of unhappy words like 'There is no gold, how do you prove it exists, I didn't see it.'"

The little prince asked curiously: "Can't I go out and play for a while? In that castle - assuming it has a lawn, I would rather roll on it a few times, then walk around for an afternoon, and then drive my little spaceship away from there."

“I had a lot of fun!”

"Why must curiosity and happiness be associated with gold? Is it because it conducts electricity that makes people jump so high when they hear it?"

The man laughed again: "Because it is indeed the most important thing."

The little prince was confused and lowered his chin.

——One thousand four hundredth of the volume of gold is wiped out every year, this is called loss. Therefore, one million of the 1.4 billion gold in circulation in the world is lost every year. This million gold turns into dust, flying and floating, and becomes light enough to be inhaled and exhaled.

——This inhalant, like a heavy burden, presses on people's conscience and has a chemical reaction with the soul, making the rich arrogant and the poor vicious.

The man thought of the books he had read. Mr. Victor's words could allow him to explain something to the boy in front of him, so that he would not look like a... useless adult?

He thought about it.

Or... just decide to shut up and be a kid repairing aircraft in the Sahara.

"Yeah, I don't know why the adults are so excited." The man rubbed his calf: "What about you?"

"Me?" The little prince did not understand.

"I say, are you going to come with me? Or, as you said before, are you going to...leave?"

He was a little reluctant to leave the boy from the asteroid B612. Unfortunately, after they had only been together for a short time and chatted about many legends and aspirations, he had to truly leave this planet.

The man felt like it was just a blink of an eye.

"I'm going back to find my little rose."

"Yes, she's been waiting for you for a long time." The man nodded, "Rose..."

The little prince reached out his hand and touched the man's shadow with his own shadow, as if to comfort him, and then touched his head: "You can think of me as accompanying you, right?"

"You are so happy to have discovered the legendary castle. Just think of me as sitting on the back of your spaceship. You can imagine how happy I am and how I am shouting."

"Then I will ask you to plant a rose... or a patch of roses on the lawn in front of the castle."

"As it turned out, we left in such a hurry that we forgot to take the bag of rose seeds!"

"How about it?"

The man grinned and pumped his fist: "Great!"

——I will definitely remember to pack the bag of rose seeds and wait until that day to scatter them on the land in front of Laputa Castle.

This is where the notes end.

Mori Yuesa blinked, closed the notebook and handed it back to Baru.

There was a gleam of anxiety in the boy's eyes. He carefully observed Mori Yuesa's expression and movements, as if he was always ready to wait for the girl's doubts and confusion.

"awesome!"

but no.

Mori Yuesa, just like the father in the notebook, raised her right fist and swung it hard in the air!

"Great! Baru! I kind of want to go!"

The boy carefully put away the notes, turned around, fingered the corner of his tattered pajamas, and lowered his head: "Really..."

"Do you think these are true..."

"Of course!" Mori Yuesha patted her chest confidently: "But I like the little prince more!"

"They said... that was a hallucination caused by my father being on the verge of death due to extreme lack of water in the desert..."

"They said... Laputa doesn't exist..."

"Father is a big liar!"

The boy was a little excited.

"You'll know if you go and see it?"

"what?"

“Fly up! Fly up and take a look.” Mori Yuesha rolled her eyes: “Wait for me to come back, I want to go with you, wait for me, wait for me, wait for me, wait for me, wait for me…”

Baloo grinned, his fear and anger finally fading away: "It's a deal! Come back soon, and after you come out of the non-existent pyramid, we'll go find Laputa together!"

The air suddenly became silent.

"Wait..." Mori Yuesha put away her smile, crossed her arms and slowly lowered her head: "What do you mean by a 'non-existent' pyramid?"

The little boy muttered: "Hamnuta didn't exist..."

"Then, Laputa doesn't exist either." Mori Yuesha said expressionlessly.

The two naive trainee adventurers stood with their hands on their hips, glaring at each other.

"It exists! Laputa exists!"

"Then Hamunatta also exists. Deal?"

Mori Yuesha clenched her right fist and pointed at Baru——

"Humph…"

"Deal, deal..."

A pair of smaller fists gently bumped into Mori Yuesha's raised fist.

Chapter 19 The Second Big Ship and Invitation

The time to leave is getting closer.

Mori Yuesa spent a little money (a gift from the organization behind Mr. Abdullah) and bought the house in which she lived very comfortably.

After finding Hamunatta and completing the deal with Bastet, the girl plans to go see Laputa with Little Baru.

And then never come back.

The house and the gold jewellery in it should be left to Balu.

She planned to ask the curator, who was doing quite well in the local area, to look after this poor and dishonest boy.

"You let that old guy take care of the child?"

Anyway, Jonathan didn't like Director Terrence very much. He always felt that he looked at him and his sister with scrutiny - don't deny it, he had a golden finger who had been through many battles and knew countless people.

"That's right." Mori Yuesha looked at Jonathan and suddenly talked about another topic: "The religion you believe in does give me some reminders..."

"What does this have to do with me."

"An old man with a white beard... and a pretty young child..." Mori Yuesha pressed her index finger to the corner of her mouth: "Oh, it seems a bit disgusting. No, I can't entrust Baru to Director Terrence."

Jonathan: …

"You're targeting my religion! Not all priests are like that!"

Mori Yuesa seemed to be certain that something bad was going to happen, and she had put Jonathan into some strange circle - you could tell from the way she dodged men.

"This is against the law, Jonathan. I hope you can wait until the person you like is of age..."

"Besides, waiting is very romantic."

Jonathan slapped Mori Yuesha on the back of her head in annoyance: "I don't want to talk to patients anymore. Besides, when I can't talk you down, I find that I can't beat you either."

"Jonathan, does your sister know about this?" Mori Yuesa leaned over with concern.

"Mori Tsukisa! I won't break the law!"

The girl suddenly realized: "So, the other party is an adult? Then there is no problem... As expected, last time with Miss Afafu, Jonathan just wanted to steal her wallet, right?"

"Shut up! I like big breasts! I don't like--"

This frustrated look reminded Mori Yuesa of the black sea urchin.

Bastet has been busy collecting information about Anubis's followers recently. She must find out whether it is really as Mori Yuesha said.

"Anyway, I don't recommend you to entrust your child to that old guy." Jonathan calmed down his breathing and said from a distance: "He can't even figure out his own museum."

"If you like the child, why don't you take care of her yourself?" Jonathan said, then he came to his senses: "Yes, that's right, an underage noble lady, right?"

"Then you might as well leave it to me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mori Yuesha glanced at Jonathan with extreme vigilance.

The man was no longer furious. Instead, he lowered his eyes and waved his hands helplessly to explain: "No, not for me, but for Eve. We can still prepare a place for the child in the UK."

Mori Tsukisa was relieved by Eve's words. The girl who always looked after her like a mother or a sister was both gentle and brave. If Baru was handed over to her, the two of them would surely have a great time talking about topics like 'adventure' and 'travel', right?

"Let me think about it..." Mori Yuesha shook her head and refused: "It will cause trouble for Eve, I don't want that. And I must seek Baru's opinion."

"The kid will like me." Jonathan pointed at himself and said, "I can do it. Let me take care of that little bastard. I can give him all my abilities for half my life."
