| “Marpy, one ramen for Mr. Saito in block three.” “Pipo! (Coming up!)” One Martian whose invasion had been stopped by Marco Rossi and his companions could not return home. Left behind, he lived and worked in a restaurant in Suita, Osaka. Language was difficult at first, but gestures with his many arms helped communication, and he now fit in well. After another busy day he removed his headband and shared a small beer toast with the owner, who quietly said: “WAREZ could take you back to Mars.” The owner offered a ticket to the preliminary venue and told him to go. “Popipipo (Boss)…” The Martian accepted, hiding his tears. He might be able to return—to Mars. |
