Chapter 6:

How Many Stars Does This Planet Have?

Eliote's Space Exploration


-Hey hey! I've just remembered that in our last exploration, Aya said that she loved to see many stars orbiting around each other! So I opened my stallar navigator and looked for planetary systems by their number of stars and, oh my god, I came across something absolutely amazing! I've searched the best planet to teleport in, and I found it! I'm going to inform Aya without spoiling anything about this planetary system!

Eliote goes to the living room to talk to Aye.

-Hey Aya! I had fun looking for weird planetary systems, and I found something crazy!

-Oh I cannot wait to see what you have in stock for me Eliote!

-Hehehe! Let's go!

Eliote and Aye teleported on a planet that looks like the Grand Canyon, but the sky is black since there's little to none atmosphere. Eliote brought a camera.

-So Aya, tell me what's out of the ordinary!

-Hmm... Oh, I found it! There are two stars!

-That's a beginning! But you can imagine that is not all! Take a good look at it.

At the right of the two stars, there's a little glowing dot.

-Hmm... There is another star here!

-True! But if you increase the zoom level of the camera, you will see that there is a red dwarf and brown dwarf orbiting around each other! I know that the object on the left doesn't feel like it's a brown dwarf, but that's because it is a L-type brown dwarf! It's the type just after M! And those who read the first chapter on the planet Mafolafolasranje know what M means!

-Oh, so that is two stars more!

-Wrong! A brown dwarf isn't either a star or a planet. It is a substellar object!

-Really? I didn't know that! And why do I feel like I am answering a quiz from you?

-Hehehe you are right, sorry!

-Oh I wasn't saying that negatively! I find this enjoyable!

-Ah so much the better! But that's not all, look at the sky carefully!

Aye turns around.

-There's more? Don't tell me that... Oh are you serious? There are two stars again over there!

-Yes! But even better, if you zoom in... You can also catch sight of another brown dwarf, but it is colder this time!

-This number of stars and brown dwarfs is crazy! How much time did it take you to find this system?

Eliote does both a disgusted and depressed face.

-Ah, I see.

-So, does my efforts paid of? Did you enjoy it?

-Of course yes! This number of stars is incredibly impressive! The day-night cycle of this planet must be hectic! But... All these stars are not worth you... You are my star Eliote!

-Oh Aya...

Back home.

-Eliote, Aye? What are these looks on your faces?

-I have said something so romantic while watching the stars with Eliote... I am so embarassed...

-Oh no! I would have loved to be there! Long live the Girls' Love genre!

And the girls go in the bedroom...

-A starry sky can make you confess your deepest feelings... Well, see you soon on another planet...
