Chapter 4
"Green, you are different from them. They are not as small and cute as you, nor as good-looking as you, and they have nothing to do with anyone. They are not like you. They are not alone, not even me, but you can be. You don't have a nest by your side, and you don't have parents, children, and wife in front and behind. Isn't it good? You are free and free. I envy you for being relaxed and happy, so you can't leave."
Araki touched the feathers of the world of truth. The world of truth staggered under his touch and almost hit his head on the table. He was a little depressed and simply lay on the table and couldn't get up.
He looked like a naughty child.
Araki smiled and said, "Come to think of it, you are also young. I don't know how long you can live."
He said this unintentionally. After he finished speaking, his face gradually darkened.
He was a little unhappy.
The world of truth thought, I don't know who is the child, anyway, children are troublesome.
It rubbed Araki's fingers with its feathers. The feathers were soft and dry, and the color was unusually bright but not dazzling, nor did it have the feeling of fluorescent. It was just beautiful enough to make people feel it was gifted at first glance. Araki caught it and said with a smile, "Are you comforting me? Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. What's more, I have parents, relatives, friends, and subordinates.
And I have this wealth. What should I be sad about? I should be very happy. Everyone thinks I'm happy.
I won't be sad. You will accompany me, right?
Either I die or you die. Anyway, it's either you or me. It can be considered a lifetime thing, what's wrong with that? No. You think so too, right? That's great! We have the same idea, we can be together for a lifetime, never separate, and never be suspicious of each other like other people do when they are together. I hope you can live a happy life.
I can't. I think I will live longer than you. What kind of species are you? I have never seen a bird like you before. Are you the only beautiful bird in the world? That's cool. However, some people may find it a bit bitter.
But it doesn't matter Yes, I will accompany you, and you will accompany me, right?
You are just a bird, there is no need to be so sad. If those people feel unhappy, let them be unhappy. We should be happy ourselves and not care about them. Okay? You will accompany me, right? I hope you can live longer, so that I won’t be too sad when I see your body. "
Araki smiled and said, "Of course, it is not ruled out that I may die before you, then you can only wish for yourself. Before I die, I will ask others to remember to let you out. If you don’t want to go out, you can stay here. , if you want to leave here, think about it after I die. I hope we can be friends. "
He said thoughtfully: "Some people always told me that talking to animals is stupid, self-righteous and disgusting. Do you think so too? If not, that's great. If so, don't show it in front of me. I will be sad. "
Araki asked someone for a very beautiful small cage, sent the True World in, and said to it: "Wait for me here obediently, I will be back soon."
The True World called twice, not wanting to be alone in an empty room waiting for someone who would appear at an unknown time.
The servant next to him whispered, "As far as I know, some birds are very timid and may be scared, so scared that they may die from stress. If you like, it's better not to leave it alone. Otherwise, you may not be able to find it if it dies."
Araki asked jokingly, "What will you do if it dies?"
The servant was stunned.
Araki said: "Since you are by my side, you can't just watch me with a pair of eyes. All my affairs, big or small, are left to you to arrange and handle. Now there is just one more little bird by my side, and you can't take care of it to the point of worrying that it may die soon. Then how are you taking care of me? It can die today, and it will die tomorrow if I don't take good care of it. Is it my turn?"
The servant's face suddenly turned pale, and he knelt down and said: "Please forgive me, Prince!"
Araki smiled, helped the man up from the ground, and said softly: "Don't be so excited, I just said a few words, you can just treat it as nonsense. It's just an unfounded guess. It's all nonsense, don't take it to heart, how can I take it as... Why do you think a bird is so precious?
I am a prince, and I will take care of all the people in the world. People in my place are always more important than other things. Don't worry, I won't kill anyone casually. You have followed me for so many years. Don't you know who I am? I won't kill you, nor will I torture you because of a bird. Look, your face is so pale, are you scared? Go home and rest for a while and come back.
I don't lack people here. It will be bad if you get sick. Even if you don't care about your own health, you should also care about what might happen if you infect others, right? "
The servant trembled a little, but soon controlled his body's reaction and returned to normal. He nodded and agreed obediently.
Araki smiled, patted his shoulder, and said gently: "I hope that when I see you again, your complexion has returned to normal."
The servant nodded and whispered: "I will."
Araki took two steps outside, distanced himself from the servant, waved to him and said: "Help me bring the bird cage over."
The servant hurried to get the bird cage. Araki paused, saw him coming, held the bird in his hands, turned and left, and said: "Thank you, you can put it back. When I come back and have time, I will put Green in. Green is the name of my new friend."
The servant thought, isn't it a pet?
But after muttering in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear of being regarded as a rebuttal or resistance, so he lowered his head and responded: "I understand."
Araki walked out with the bird.
The world of truth jumped in his hand. Araki asked, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
The world of truth tried to flap its wings, but it didn't fly. Araki smiled and said, "What do you want to do?"
The world of truth rushed to Araki's shoulder, staggering, and almost fell to the ground again.
Araki was worried that it would fall and be stepped on by accident, so he grabbed it and advised, "Forget it, you can't even fly. If you stand on your shoulder, it will be easier to disappear. By then, you will die before you die. Don't you think it's not nice to be stepped on by someone?"
The world of truth was too lazy to pay attention to him, but it also felt that moving around was too troublesome and tiring. The bird's body was not big and not very strong. It felt a little tired, so it didn't matter if it didn't go up. Anyway, it shouldn't be in trouble unless Araki dropped it on the road or suddenly forgot about it.
Mari Sekai closed her eyes, laid on Araki's palm, and gradually fell asleep.
Araki took Mari Sekai to meet his parents.
His parents chattered to him for a while, all of which were ordinary, caring words, as if they were just a part of the ordinary world. However, they knew in their hearts that it was impossible. Their identities meant that they could not be ordinary people. No matter how much they pretended, it was still fake.
The conversation ended quickly. The sky was a little different from before. It seemed that it was time for dinner. The king wanted to keep Araki, and the family sat down at a table to have a meal together.
"I have prepared delicious food, and I hope you will like it. But because those things are sent to me for the first time, I don't know if they are suitable for your taste. So, I want to ask you to stay. Would you be willing?"
The king looked at Araki and asked.
His tone was polite to the point of being a little distant, as if they were not biological father and son who had lived together for years and whose blood relationship could not be severed, but two strangers who met when they moved. Today they found out that the other party would live next door and might have to meet each other often in the future, so they began to think about inviting each other to have a meal to improve their relationship.
Araki listened, thinking about it, thought for a while, smiled, and said to the king, "Okay."
The king was very happy, as if Araki had not been so close to him for a long time, even though their current relationship was not very close. Most ordinary fathers and sons are harmonious. If they had not become enemies or had been living in different places for many years and were particularly unfamiliar, they would definitely not be like this. Whether it was talking or doing things, there was a sense of unfamiliarity. Everyone
was used to getting along like this, and no one raised any objections. The servants quickly set the table.
Many beautiful dishes quickly appeared on the table.
The queen saw Araki's clasped hands and asked in confusion, "What's in your hands?"
Araki took a look, put the True World on the table, and announced to everyone, "This is my new friend, you can also treat it as my pet. I named it Green, you can call it Green."
The True World woke up from his sleep, took a deep breath, opened his eyes, smelled the aroma of food, and saw many strange eyes and human faces staring at it. He was startled and suddenly found that he seemed to be unaware that birds and humans are not only different in body, but also in feeling. The people seen by birds and the people seen by humans are completely different.
Araki felt that the Mari World seemed to be frightened, so he held it in his palm and comforted it: "It's okay, they are all my relatives and servants, they won't hurt you, don't be afraid." The
Mari World ignored him, but shivered and curled up into a ball, covering most of its body with feathers, trying to hide.
Araki thought it was cute, funny and a little pitiful, touched the Mari World's feathers, and laughed softly: "Even if you hide like this, it's useless. Do you think they can't see you? I promise to protect you."
