hello. how everybody doing? this week i go save charlie-san. she work in diner in texas. when i teleport-o to texas and look in diner, old lady come up and talk to me.
“cute-o butt” she tell me.
i look down and notice that i still in hospital gown.
then, old lady flirt with me.
“hey, you want to go on date-o with me?” she ask me.
ひどいよ！ (that mean gross in japanese)
i try to be polite. i smile and say, “no thank you. i already have girlfriend.”
“maybe you like two girlfriend,” she say.
“no no no!” i say and run away.
that old lady very creepy.
then, i look for clothes. i can not save charlie-san in hospital gown. fortunately, many people dry clothes outside in texas. must save on power bill, ne? they do same thing in japan.
anyway, i go to one house, and try on clothes, but they too big. they say everything bigger in texas.
i think they make people bigger in texas too. so, i try ‘nother house. owner see me and almost shoot me with bb gun. finally, i find house with clothes and no owner with bb gun. clothes fit good too. but i see bratty kid with toy gun.
“you steal my daddy no clothes!” he tell me.
“i sorry. i must take!” i say, “it matter of life and death. i must save woman i love.”
“love?” bratty kid say, “love no exist. my mommy and daddy scream at one another all time. my mommy like to throw dish at my daddy. chase him around with rolling pin too. love is just fairy tale. now give me back my daddy no clothes!” he demand.
really? why must kid in united state be so bratty?
eventually, i convince boy to let me have clothes. i tell him bullshit about good guy versus bad guy. he no understand that i just say that so i can steal his daddy no clothes…so i can do job and he leave me alone. it work. it work very well. then i start to talk about brain man.
“you crazy, mister,” he say. then he run away.
so, i stop time and put brain man on bus far away. before i stop time, i talk to myself. i tell myself that he must go back in time and save charlie-san. talking to self very weird. also very complicated.
“where your sword?” my past self ask me.
“that not important,” i say.
then he talk to me about comic book . he talk to me long time about comic book. was i really that dumb three year ago? that what they call rhetorical question. please no answer.
then, i talk to ando-kun.
“where your sword?” he ask.
really. why do ando-kun and i always talk about sword in past? we obsessed with sword then. that sword really piece of junk that belong to this guy, who i no like very much any more.
then, i tell ando-kun to stay. i sound like i talking to dog. “sit. stay. good dog.” maybe i need to learn to treat friend better, ne?
finally, i talk to charlie-san and tell her we can go anywhere she want.
“i want to go to otsu, japan,” she say, “because kensei-san born there.”
i almost tell her i no want to go, that i meet kensei-san in past and he turn out to be asshole, but i no say. i want to make charlie-san happy.
then charlie-san start telling me many thing about otsu, japan. she also start to speak in ‘nother language that greek to me. turn out it really greek. she learn two month ago.
“charlie, stop that,” i say.
“i sorry, hiro-kun,” she tell me, “it aneurysm. it make me do. i sorry, but i dying.”
so…i have to take brain man out of bus and convince him to fix charlie-san. we have stand-off behind diner, only with supa-power and not gun. i win and he fix charlie-san. we about to leave for japan when butterfly man appear and steal charlie-san. he say he trap her in time.
“you no butter-fly man, you evil butterfly man,” i say.
“you can have charlie back, but you must crush my butterfly first,” he say.
he bad butterfly. maybe i crush him once i find charlie.
