Furi Kuri: Naota's Brother
Nothing amazing happens here, just the norm...
Well, there was the time with Haruko... but that's in the past. She went off to find Atomsk, the pirate king. And Mamimi is gone, too. She went off to become a professional photographer. Naota hasn't got a clue as to where either of them are...
Naota's School
"NOW, WE SHALL WRITE TRADITIONAL JAPANESE HAIKUS!" yelled Naota's teacher.
"Yes!" replied Naota's class.
The teacher wrote a haiku on the board. "OK! THE TREE IS GREEN AND BR- -no, that's not right! THE TREE IS BIG AND GREE--no, that's not right either! THE TREE IS--oh, forget it, all of you just write a haiku, ok!?"
"Yes!"
"Hey, Naota, look at this! Look at this!" Gaku exclaimed as he shook an article in front of Naota's face.
Naota grabbed it and read it.
Yesterday, a man in Mabase claimed that he saw "a woman flying on a guitar." "She was flying in the sky! It's true!" the man claimed.
He ran around the town, yelling that he saw someone flying on a guitar. The police captured the man, afraid that he, crazy, may kill peop--
"WHAT IS THIS!? WHAT IS THIS!?" the teacher yelled as she grabbed the article from Naota, "This... this... this is not allowed in class! AH! THIS IS NOT ALLOWED IN CLASS! NO, NO, NO!"
The teacher jumped around the room.
Haruko? Is it... you?
Naota's House
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Haruko was sitting at the kitchen table when Naota arrived home.
"Furi... kuri?" Haruko said.
Kamon was crying, "I am so jealous of you, Naota... for Haruko to come back for you... and not for me!"
"Wh-What are you doing here!?" Naota yelled.
"Well, you see... I need your help again! That bastard Atomsk got away again! So here it goes!"
Haruko took her guitar and smashed it at Naota's forehead... but nothing happened.
"Eh? Nothing!?" Haruko yelled out, "That's... not good. Your brain doesn't work anymore! I can't get anything to come out of it!"
"Ow... but your guitar hurts just as much as usual... Hey, where's grandpa?"
"The police captured him... they said he was crazy... Hey, Haruko, want to play...?" Kamon said.
Haruko smashed the guitar into his head.
"Damn, his head won't work either."
Rrrrring! Rrrrring!
The phone was ringing. Haruko ran over and answered it.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"Huh? Do I have the wrong number?"
"So a large pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni? Anything else?"
Naota grabbed the phone from Haruko.
"Hello?"
"Naota?"
"O-Oniichan?"
"Yeah, listen, I'm coming home. I was kicked off the team. I'll be home tomorrow, okay? Tell Dad."
"Y-You're coming... home?"
"Yeah. I got to go. Bye!"
Naota didn't reply and Tasuku hung up.
Oniichan... is coming home?
"Hey! I didn't get his address! How am I supposed to deliver his pizza!?" Haruko said.
Naota just walked right past her.
"Naota...? What's wrong with you?"
Haruko showing up... Oniichan coming home... It's all too hard to believe.
Nothing amazing happens here, just the norm... or is it?
