Chapter 2

Mamimi the Galactic Photographer

2 weeks since Naota arrived on Kotoma

"Hey Mr.Jongo This Batch is ready for selling," Naota called to bakery's owner. "Excellent work Takun," Mr.Jongo said surprised at the fact that Naota has made 7 batches of bread in an hour. "Oh Takun," He continued, "Before I forget there was a letter for you on the table in your room." Naota looked worried `the only people who know I'm here is the G.S.P.B. and they usually get a hold of me via the N.O. Network' he thought.

Naota open the envelope and it was a coded message, it read:

Off N.N.

TRANSLATION:

Officer Naota Nandaba,

The person responsible for the photography on this planet will meet you at Café Bleu at for today.

Amarao.

By now Naota was familiar with the city of Orup. In fact DiaconV Bakery Gaye bread to Café Bleu. "Excuse me Mr.Jongo," Naota said. "Takun you don't have to call me Mr.Jongo all the time," Mr.Jongo said, "Just call me Mahjong." Naota was now wearing an expression that easily said What? "Well any way would you mind if I have the rest of the day off," Naota asked. "As an employee of the bakery yes," Mahjong said, "but not from the house, you will still wash the dishes from supper okay." "That's fine," Naota said. And as he was leaving he stuck his head back in the bakery and said, "Oh, Mahjong don't worry about make supper for me I need to meet someone over at Café Bleu." "Thanks for telling me Takun", Mahjong said.

Naota rode his Vespa to Café Bleu. When he got there it was 3:30.

It was now 3:59. He looked around for the photographer. He couldn't see well because the sun was right in his eyes. His watch beeped as it turned to 4:00. "I guess he is going to be late," Naota said.

"Who the God of the black flame Chief," A lady's voice said beside Naota. He jumped, but not only because the sudden appearance of the woman but what she said and what she did next. She lit a cigarette that had written on it "Never Knows Best". Naota still had a puzzled look on his face. The woman noticed this and said, "What you told me not to ever call you Takun again remember." `No it can't be,' he thought. "Mamimi Samejima," he finally said a voice and look a of disbelief. The woman blew a puff of smoke and said "Long time no see." "You told me you got a job as a photographer, but I never expected this." "Well I never told you where I got the job now did I" Mamimi said in a smart-aleck

tone in her voice. "You look a lot more surprised then what I thought you would be," she continued. "Why," Naota said confused at these words. She pointed to the sign.

Mamimi said, "Think back to the day you told me to never call you Takun again." Naota thought for a minute or two then he remembered:

Flashback:

Why are you pulling me so hard it hurts takun

Let's get something to eat here.

End flashback

Naota then said "I wanted to take you to the Café Bleu," His voice went to a whisper "back on Earth."

"Takun I basically just toke a rain check on your offer. But still where is lord Canti?"

"Well still helping out at my family's bakery. Dad need more help now that Grandpa is gone." Mamimi didn't seem too upset about Naota's Grandpa. She then said in an upset tone

"I still don't think that he should be using Lord Canti like that."

(Mamimi was out cold when Canti came)

"Mamimi do you remember that night on the bridge when you overflowed?(fainted). Noata asked

"Yes, well I mean before I overflowed"

"Well that night Canti came out of my head. He is a a Medical Mechanica Robot Mamimi." Naota and Mamimi caught up on there lives after The MM incident, and about the assignment on Kotoma.

They talk for another hour and a half over a steak dinner.

"Dang, I didn't think the price would be this high," Naota said looking at the bill of 148.34 Qilf (Trade value $71.51)

"So remember Takun call anything happens ok," Mamimi. "I will" Naota called back with a smile. Naota rode his Vespa back to the bakery. Then quickly and efficiently did the dishes. Finally he got to his toke off his shoe shoes collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.

While Naota was asleep his(actually Haruko's) Rickenbacker struck a chord on it's own.
