Furi Kuri: Naota's Brother
Secret HQ of the Department of Interstellar Immigration
"Can you brief us on the situation?"
"Rahal has returned to Earth. With Atomsk recaptured by Medical Mechanica, she plans to use another person's mind to rescue Atomsk again. We are the ones that must stop her, and we must also get Atomsk out of Medical Mechanica's clutches so that they cannot use him," explained Kitsurubami.
Amarao was looking in a mirror.
"Uh... what are you doing?" asked Kitsurubami.
"Seeing if my eyebrows look symmetrical..." Amarao mumbled back. "Hey, do you want to go out to the movies with me tonight!?"
"Uh... we kind of a crisis on our hands right now."
"Oh yeah... better take care of that first! But, anyway, how about we go on a date next Friday?"
"No."
Amarao ran to the corner of the room and cried to himself.
Then he had a "brilliant" idea. I can see if Rahal will go out with me!
Just Outside of Mabase
"Where are we going, Naota?" asked Haruko.
"To look for someone," he replied.
"Where am I supposed to drive us to?"
"Just keep on going forward."
"Okay... whatever you say."
The night before, Naota asked Haruko to take him on her motorcycle. And so they set off the next morning.
"YOU'RE GOING TO CRASH INTO THAT BUILDING!" yelled Naota.
"You told me to go straight," said Haruko as she turned away from it.
"WELL, DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD TURN IF YOU'RE ABOUT TO CRASH!?"
"I was only doing what you told me to..."
And their trip continued like that the entire day...
Mamimi... I'm going to find you for my brother.
Naota's House
"Target identified," Kitsurubami stated.
"Good. Now capture him," responded Amarao through the communication device.
They were capturing the person that Haruko would use to get Atomsk. That is, Tasuku. Kitsurubami stomped across the street in her robot.
"Hahahahaha! Look, Tasuku! Your grandfather is on TV!" Kamon laughed.
Shigekuni was, in fact, on TV.
"THERE WAS A GIRL FLYING ON A GUITAR! IT'S TRUE! LISTEN TO ME!" he yelled as they through him in jail.
"Hahahaha! What a nut!" laughed Kamon.
"Uh... shouldn't you be helping him? That girl--what was her name? Haruko?--is, afterall, the girl that flew on the guitar, right?" Tasuku said.
"No, your grandfather is just a crazy old man."
"Okay... never mind then."
"Launch the net," commanded Amarao.
"Yes sir," answered Kitsurubami as she pulled the trigger on one of the robot's guns... and out came a net, capturing Tasuku inside it.
"Tasuku? What are you doing in a net?" asked Kamon.
"AHHHH! HELP ME!" exclaimed Tasuku.
"Hahahaha! You're good at acting."
"I'M NOT ACTING!"
Clap, clap, clap.
"Very good."
"WAAAAAH!"
Tasuku was pulled out of his house and towards Kitsurubami.
"Okay, now bring him back to HQ... and on your way back, think about going out with me," commanded Amarao.
"Yes sir... I mean, I'll do the first part, but not the second."
Amarao went and cried in the corner again.
In a Town 27 Miles away from Mabase
"Mamimi!" Naota yelled out.
"Ta-kun!?" Mamimi exclaimed with a surprised look.
It appeared that Mamimi was... selling photos that she had taken. Naota walked up to a picture and looked at the price tag--$1,000.
"YOU'RE SELLING THIS FOR $1,000!?"
After Naota yelled that, someone ran over, grabbed the photo, gave it a quick look, and paid Mamimi $1,000.
"This is a great price for one of your photos!" he exclaimed as he walked away.
Naota's jaw dropped.
"That man must be crazy!"
Then someone else bought a picture for $1,500... And someone else bought one for $2,000... And there were some for even more.
"Hm... either this town is crazy, or Mamimi is famous!" speculated Haruko.
"This town must be crazy..." Naota said.
"Nope! I'm really famous!" Mamimi bragged.
How could a high school drop-out be so rich? Naota wondered.
"Mamimi... my brother is home."
Mamimi didn't answer. She just stared at Naota. Ten seconds went by. Twenty... thirty... forty... and through just that short time, a huge line of customers built up. Mamimi pretended to ignore Naota and started to sell her photos again.
"Mamimi, did you hear me?"
There was more silence between them. Then there were tears in Mamimi's eyes.
"Ta-kun! Take me to him!"
And so Mamimi and Haruko got on the motorcycle and headed off.
"HEY! LET ME ON!" Naota yelled as he ran after them.
They had found Mamimi. But now they were going back to Mabase... to find Tasuku gone.
