| Miku & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
 Emu |
Miku! Miku! Mikuuu!!! |
 Miku |
Hurray☆ It's Emu! Big hug♪ |
| Emu |
Hehehe! It feels so strange!! I love how I can actually hug you here, Miku! |
| Miku |
And now that the hugs are done, let's put on a show♪ |
| Emu |
Really? Yaaay♪ |
| Miku & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Ready! Hyah! |
| Miku |
Wow! Emu, you just went flippity-flip zoom! |
| Emu |
Hehehe. I'm pretty good at back flips and stuff☆ |
| Miku |
That's so cool. I want to try a flippity-flip too! |
| Emu |
How about we try one on the trampoline? KAITO has one near the stage, right?! |
| Miku |
Yeah! I'll do my best to flippity-flip zoom just like you! |
| Miku & Emu (3) | |
|---|---|
| Miku |
Wh-Whoa! Emu, you've got a big cloud on your tummy☆ |
| Emu |
Hehe. Isn't this cute?! I couldn't help but get this after seeing it! |
| Miku |
No fair! I wanna go to a shop that sells cute clothes. |
| Emu |
Then, let's go shopping together sometime! I'll let you know the next time I go to one☆ |
| Miku |
Wait, you mean it?! I can't wait☆ |
| Miku & Emu (4) | |
|---|---|
| Miku |
Whee♪ |
| Emu |
Wow! You're so good at flying paper airplanes, Miku☆ |
| Miku |
Hehe! Rui taught me the other day how to fold really good ones☆ |
| Emu |
Really?! I wanna learn too☆ Can you teach me, Miku?! |
| Miku |
Okay☆ Let's make some together! Rui brought over plenty of paper♪ |
| Emu |
I hope you're ready, Miku! Mine's gonna fly so much further than yours! |
| Miku |
You're on☆ |
| Rin & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hey, Rin! You've been exploring this whole SEKAI, right? |
 Rin |
Hehe. Yeah, I was♪ I even went on all the rides and attractions that you can't see from here♪ |
| Emu |
Wh-Whoa...! |
| Emu |
What did you get to go on? Tell me! Tell me! |
| Rin |
Sure☆ But since you're here... Let's ride them together♪ |
| Emu |
R-Ride them...?! I can ride them too?! |
| Rin |
Of course! You can invite everyone else too♪ Let's ride them all together☆ |
| Emu |
Yeah! We're absolutely, one-million percent doing that♪ |
| Rin & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Rin |
Hmm... What should I do...? |
| Emu |
What's wrong, Rin? Is something bothering you? |
| Rin |
Oh, Emu! U-Um, so... |
| Rin |
You guys aren't gonna be spending as much time at PXL now that you've left the Wonder Stage, right...? |
| Emu |
Huh? No, that's not true. |
| Rin |
What?! |
| Emu |
We won't always be at the Wonder Stage like before, but we'll still do shows there if my family asks us to and stuff... |
| Emu |
I mean, I still really love Phoenix Wonderland, so I wanna go visit when I can! |
| Rin |
Oh, okay...! |
| Rin |
Then, if you don't mind... Could you buy me some of that lemon-flavored popcorn the next time you're there...? |
| Emu |
Popcorn? |
| Rin |
Yeah! I haven't been able to get it out of my head, and I really wanna try it again! |
| Emu |
Oh, now I see...! |
| Emu |
Hehe. Then, I'll get some for you right away. Hope you're hungry☆ |
| Len & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh, it's Len! Good wonderhoy♪ |
 Len |
Hi ho, Emu! Is that some kind of new greeting? |
| Emu |
Yep☆ I really want more people to start saying wonderhoy, so I came up with another version♪ |
| Len |
Cool! Then I'll start saying it too! |
| Emu |
Really?! Let's practice it together! One, two, and...! |
| Len & Emu |
Good wonderhoy! |
| Len & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Len |
Hm... |
| Emu |
What's the matter, Len? |
| Len |
Well, Miku asked me to go find some of the plushies for her, but... |
| Len |
I have no idea which ones are Sparkly Eyes and Triangle Nose... |
| Len |
I thought I'd be able to tell just by looking at them, so I didn't bother asking her for more info. |
| Emu |
Oh, I think I know which ones those are. |
| Len |
Really?! Would you come with me and help me look for them?! |
| Emu |
Sure♪ Let's go find some plushie friends! |
| Luka & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
 Luka |
Oh, Emu! Hello! |
| Emu |
Luka! Yahohoy☆ Hm? No Ms. Sleepy Head today? |
| Luka |
Hehe. There's something I'd like to show you, so I made sure to be awake, Emu. |
| Luka |
Ready? Wonderhoy♪ |
| Emu |
Wow...! You said, Wonderhoy! |
| Luka |
Len and Rin showed me. How was it? Did I do okay? |
| Emu |
Yeah☆ It was perfect! Your wonderhoy☆ gets an A++! |
| Luka |
Really? Hehe. Then I'm glad I practiced. I even got to see your lovely smile. |
| Luka & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hi, Luka! Good wonderhoy☆ |
| Luka |
Hm? You seem even more energetic than usual today, Emu. |
| Emu |
Hehe. I'm super duper happy because I made friends in my new class today♪ |
| Luka |
Oh, I see. Changing classes sounds so wonderful. |
| Emu |
It is! You get to make a bunch of new friends... |
| Emu |
And become even closer with people you've already met! |
| Emu |
Oh, that reminds me. I'm in the same class as Tsukasa's little sister, Saki, this year! |
| Emu |
I'm gonna get to know her really well, just like I did with Tsukasa! |
| Luka |
Hehe. I'm sure that's going to be very fun. |
| MEIKO & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
MEIKO. Hey, MEIKO. You weren't in this SEKAI from the start, but came in from somewhere else, right? |
 MEIKO |
That's right. I came because I wanted to join everyone! |
| Emu |
Everyone? |
| MEIKO |
Yes. Miku, KAITO, and all of you as well. |
| MEIKO |
I wanted to join all of you and create shows together that will bring a smile to everyone's face. |
| MEIKO |
It's not every day you get to do something as wonderful as making a lot of people smile at once, right? |
| Emu |
Yup yup, I completely agree! So let's make some fun and enjoyable shows together, MEIKO! |
| MEIKO |
Of course! I'm counting on you, Emu! |
| MEIKO & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh, MEIKO, there you are♪ Do you have a second to talk? |
| MEIKO |
Emu, welcome! Yes, of course♪ |
| MEIKO |
Hm? Hang on... You seem to be hiding something behind your back. You're not planning to do anything naughty, are you? |
| Emu |
Heh heh heh. Looks like my cover's been blown, so... |
| Emu |
Ta-daa! I brought you some snacks as thanks for helping me cover my face when my eyes were all red! |
| MEIKO |
Oh, you got these for me? |
| Emu |
Because you really saved me that time! Here, I brought lots and lots for you♪ |
| MEIKO |
Hehe. You really did! My hands are both full. I'm not sure I'll be able to finish all of these, so let's have some together, Emu♪ |
| Emu |
Okay☆ |
| MEIKO & Emu (3) | |
|---|---|
 MEIKO ac |
Oh. Hello, Emu. What brings you here today? |
| Emu |
Oh, I'm here to say hello to the ship! |
| MEIKO wxs |
To the ship? |
| Emu |
Yeah, because we might go on lots of journeys with it in the future! |
| Emu |
So, since we're gonna be spending lots and lots of time together moving forward, I wanted to give it a proper greeting! |
| MEIKO wxs |
Oh, I see! In that case, I think I'll join you! |
| Emu |
Okay, let's greet it together! Ready? |
| MEIKO wxs & Emu |
We look forward to traveling with you! |
| KAITO & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hey, KAITO♪ |
 KAITO |
Hm? Did you need something? |
| Emu |
Hehe. Nope, I just wanted to say hi☆ |
| KAITO |
Not you, too... |
| KAITO |
For the past few days, Miku and the plushies have... Wait! Don't tell me you're all in on this... |
| Emu |
Ah! The secret's out! Everybody run! |
| KAITO & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| KAITO |
Emu, I hear you were showing Miku and the plushies some acrobatics. |
| Emu |
Yep! We even practiced back flips! It was fun♪ |
| KAITO |
Is that so? Hehe. If you and Miku were sisters, I think you would probably be the older one. |
| Emu |
Really?! You think I'm the older one?! |
| KAITO |
As of now, I would say you have a slight lead. |
| Emu |
In that case, I'll have to keep working hard until I'm good enough to be your older sister, too! |
| KAITO |
Looks like I'll have to do the same, then. I can't let you surpass me just yet. |
| KAITO & Emu (3) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
And so, I wasn't able to buy one of the new twisty tornado sweet buns at the school store... |
| KAITO |
I see... |
| Emu |
The line for it went out to the school gate... But I still haven't given up! |
| Emu |
It's supposed to be amazingly good! So, I'm definitely gonna get my hands on one! |
| KAITO |
*Nod* I understand how you feel about these new sweet buns, but about what we're on currently... |
|
*Rattling*
| |
| Emu |
Oh, right... |
|
*Whoosh*
| |
| Emu |
I wanted to go on the roller coaster, so I decided to bring you along!! |
| KAITO |
That's all?! |
|
*Whoosh*
| |
| KAITO & Emu (4) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Aha! There you are, KAITO♪ |
| Emu |
You gotta hear this! One of my brothers just gave me a kinda old popcorn machine that they said they're not going to use anymore♪ |
| KAITO |
Oh, from your tone, I take it that it still works? |
| Emu |
Yup♪ I wanna make some popcorn, but I was told that the machine's too dangerous for a child to operate all by themself... |
| Emu |
That's why I want you to help me, KAITO☆ |
| KAITO |
I'd be more than happy to help. While we're at it, why don't we go ask Rin and the others if they're interested? |
| Emu |
Hehe. I actually just saw them a second ago and told them all about it♪ |
| KAITO |
Wonderful! Thank you for going out of your way to invite everyone. |
| Emu |
You're super welcome☆ Anyway, let's go go go find them! |
| Tsukasa & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
 Tsukasa |
Whoa! Isn't that one of those pandas that kids can ride at the playground? It's dancing! |
| Emu |
I think it wants us to dance with it! Okay! I'll dance with you☆ |
| Tsukasa |
Th-They're actually dancing in sync... Man, I don't understand this SEKAI one bit... |
| Emu |
Look! Look! The other animals want to join in! Tsukasa, you should dance with them! |
| Tsukasa |
Huh?! Ah! Stop! Why do you always have to drag me in?! |
| Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
 Nene |
This place sure is noisy. |
| Emu |
Yeah! It's always so much fun here☆ |
| Nene |
Well, everyone is always smiling. I guess I don't hate it. |
| Emu |
Hehehe. I knew it! It makes you happy to see other people smiling too, doesn't it?! |
| Nene |
I suppose so... |
| Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
 Rui |
Miku and the plushies put on such a great show! The music is powerful and the direction is spot on! |
| Emu |
Are you getting excited, Rui? |
| Rui |
Of course. I can't wait to start coming up with a show that's even better than this one at making people smile. |
| Rui |
In fact, I already have a little something in mind. It will all depend on Tsukasa and his self-sacrificing nature, however... |
| Emu |
Don't worry! I'm sure Tsukasa will be happy to lend a hand☆ |
| Emu & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hey, Rui! Is it true that we're gonna shower the stage with flower petals during our next show? |
| Rui |
Yes, during the scene where the protagonist is reunited with their estranged younger sister. |
| Rui |
Do you have a suggestion to go along with that? |
| Emu |
Yup! I call it... Operation Flower Carpet!! |
| Emu |
I even drew a picture! Look☆ We'll have this big carpet covered in flowers that you can pull from the other side using these strings... |
| Rui |
I see... And dragging it across the stage will instantly turn it into a field of flowers. What a wonderful idea...! |
| Rui |
Might I suggest we add in some of the grass we use for backgrounds to give it a more three-dimensional feel? |
| Rui |
Also, we could have three of these roll out at once to create the illusion of depth. |
| Rui |
Hehe. Let's try it out right now! Shall we, Emu? |
| Emu |
Yeah☆ Operation Flower Carpet is a go♪ |
| Miku, KAITO & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Miku, your costume is so flashy and sparkly! I love it! |
| Miku |
Hehehe, thank you♪ But your costume is just as flashy and sparkly as mine, Emu☆ |
| KAITO |
I think so too. Is that your theme park uniform? |
| Emu |
Yeah! Not everyone has the same one, though. Some attractions have different uniforms. |
| Emu |
Oh, and I added some special customizations to mine, so it's different than everybody else's♪ |
| Miku |
A customized uniform?! That's so cool☆ |
| KAITO |
Yes, it shows off your unique and creative style. That's exactly what a costume should do. |
| Miku, KAITO & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hehehe. Miku, KAITO, look at this! |
| KAITO |
A drawing of an amusement park? Is this the Phoenix Wonderland park where you all work? |
| Emu |
Yep! I wanted to show you and Miku what it looked like, so I drew you a picture. |
| Emu |
I wish you could actually come and visit, though... |
| KAITO |
That would be fun. But look, Emu. |
| Miku |
Wow, look at how big that roller coaster is! Oh, and it's the kind with the big splash at the end! |
| KAITO |
Miku is having plenty of fun just looking. |
| Emu |
You're right! Hehehe! I'm glad I drew it♪ |
| Miku, Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh, Nene, listen! I came up with a pose for when we make Print Stickers again! |
| Emu |
First, bend your right elbow and place it in front of your face! Then, stretch your left arm straight behind and... |
| Emu |
Ta-daa! I'm a hero dashing through a strong headwind!! |
| Miku |
Oh, you're a hero! That's really cool! |
| Nene |
Is that why you and Tsukasa were practicing doing all those weird poses...? For Print Stickers...? |
| Nene |
Hang on... You don't expect me to do that pose, do you? |
| Emu |
Yeah, I do! You'll be on the left, Nene, and mirroring what I'm doing! |
| Nene |
You even came up with where I'm supposed to stand...? But I guess it's okay since you can't really see what's going on inside one of those booths... |
| Miku |
Oh, I can't wait to see how your picture turns out♪ Let me know when it's ready, okay? |
| Rin, KAITO & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Rin |
Oh, what was it like on the airplane? |
| Emu |
There were all these chairs with TVs attached to them, and these nice ladies came by to give us food and drinks! |
| KAITO |
I see... Hold on, does that mean you all flew first class? |
| Emu |
I think so! Nene and the others seemed really surprised♪ |
| Rin |
Wait, Emu, you weren't surprised at all? |
| Emu |
Hehe. No, because Grandpa's plane was a million times more amazing! |
| Emu |
He somehow made it so there could be horses from a merry-go-round and teacup sofas on the inside! |
| KAITO |
That sounds more like a flying amusement park than an airplane... |
| Emu |
Yup! But I heard he ended up selling it because there was something he wanted to do in America. |
| Rin |
Really? Even after going through the trouble of making a flying amusement park...? |
| KAITO |
This is just my guess... |
| KAITO |
But I have a feeling that your grandfather found an even more spectacular dream to go after. Something bigger than this airplane of his. |
| Rin, Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Rin |
Huh? Nene? Emu? Why do you both have your notebooks out? |
| Emu |
We're doing our homework before practice starts! Oh, Nene, were you able to get through that math problem? |
| Nene |
Yeah, I was. I think I finally understand how to use this formula thanks to you. |
| Rin |
Oh, Emu, you taught her? That's great☆ |
| Emu |
Hehe☆ I'm really not the best teacher, but Nene did her absolute best to try and understand what I was saying♪ |
| Nene |
At first, I honestly had no idea what to do when she said, "Pop the x up and go go go." |
| Nene |
But I've started to figure out what she's saying after seeing her try her best to help me. |
| Rin |
Really?! That's so nice! You two look like you're having a lot of fun! Hey, I wanna do some homework too! |
| Emu |
Sure! Let's do the next problem together! |
| Rin |
Okay♪ |
| Nene |
(Is she gonna be okay? These are high school level problems...) |
| Nene |
(Well, as long as they're both enjoying themselves...) |
| Rin, Emu & Nene (2) | |
|---|---|
| Rin |
Hey, are there any other ways of wishing people a "Happy New Year"? |
| Rin |
I've been going around saying "Happy New Year" to the plushies, KAITO and the others, but I'm starting to get a little bored of saying the same thing over and over. |
| Nene |
Other than "Happy New Year"...? You could try saying it in English. |
| Emu |
Oh, I know a really cool one! |
| Emu |
"Kin-ga-shin-nen!" |
| Nene |
Wait, that's what you write for New Year's greeting cards... |
| Rin |
Th-That sounds so cool...! "Kin-ga-shin-nen"♪ |
| Nene |
(Well, as long as Rin's happy...) |
| Len, Luka & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Luka |
Zzz... Zzz... Sheep... So fluffy... And comfortable to sleep on... |
| Emu |
Luka's sleeping! Also, sheep...? Where? |
| Len |
There aren't any. She's probably dreaming of them. |
| Luka |
No, Mr. Wolf... Don't eat their fluffy wool... |
| Len |
Oh no! What do we do...?! I think they're in trouble...! |
| Emu |
Don't worry! I know what to do! |
| Emu |
"It's time for the sheep to strike back against the wolf! Get ready for a BAA-BAA-BLAST!" |
| Len |
...! |
| Len |
"Mr. Wolf's running away scared! He promises to never do anything bad ever again!" |
| Luka |
Zzz... That was incredible, my lovely sheep... Now I can...fall... Zzz... |
| Emu & Len |
We did it! |
| MEIKO, Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
You can do it, Nene...! The next one's the last one! |
| Nene |
Hnng...! Gah...! Huff... Huff... F-Finally... Three sets... |
| MEIKO |
Oh, are you two doing some strength training? |
| Emu |
Yup! We were told that you need to have good legs and hips to put on shows! |
| MEIKO |
That's very true! The more muscles and stamina the merrier, I say♪ |
| Emu |
Oh, speaking of which, Rui said before that we could put on a really amazing show if we all got big and muscly! |
| Nene |
Oh, are you talking about performing acrobatic stunts using wires and stuff? Yeah, he did say that you need a strong core to be able to do all that... |
| Nene |
But I personally want to increase my stamina instead of gaining more muscle. That should allow me to really commit to my role. |
| Emu |
Oh, okay! Then, let's get steely staminized! |
| Nene |
S-Staminized? |
| MEIKO |
Oh, I like that! Steely staminized! Yeah♪ |
| Emu |
Steely ☆ staminized♪ Oh yeah☆ C'mon, Nene! You too! |
| Nene |
What?! Where'd this dance come from? You're not getting me to do it! |
| MEIKO, Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| MEIKO wxs |
How has Robo-Nene been since then? |
| Rui |
Oh, I did some maintenance on her after we got home, and I found no problems whatsoever... |
| Emu |
Thank goodness! Especially considering how hard she had to work! |
| MEIKO wxs |
Yes, and I was astonished by how high her super jump could take her! |
| Emu |
Me too! Oh, MEIKO, who do you think can go higher? Her or someone you fling into the air using your high fly trick? |
| Rui |
Hehe. That could be worth testing. |
| MEIKO wxs |
I agree! But it's been a little while, so I'm not sure how high I can send someone... |
| Rui |
Oh, is that so? |
| MEIKO wxs |
But it hasn't been that long! I can train to regain my old strength. Then, I should be able to go toe-to-toe with Robo-Nene! |
| MEIKO wxs |
So, Emu...! Does any part of you feel like flying high right now? |
| Emu |
Oh, I get to fly?! Woohoo! Yes, please☆ |
| KAITO, Tsukasa & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hey, KAITO? Why is it the flowers are always singing the same song? |
| Tsukasa |
Now that you mention it, you're right. It always sounded so familiar that I never really thought about it before. |
| KAITO |
They actually have quite a large repertoire. In fact, they sing all kinds of songs during our performances. |
| KAITO |
However, the song they are currently singing is particularly special to them. |
| KAITO |
After all, they were born from Tsukasa's feelings just like the rest of this SEKAI. |
| Emu |
Does that mean this song is important to you too, Tsukasa?! |
| Tsukasa |
Oh! That must be why it sounds so familiar! |
| KAITO |
Hehe. It seems that way. When you get a moment, I bet they would love for you to listen to them more closely. |
| KAITO, Tsukasa & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| KAITO |
Tsukasa, I understand you write quite a number of musicals. Do you ever get the urge to write heroic stories? |
| Tsukasa |
Heroic stories, huh? |
| Tsukasa |
To me, the star of the show is already a sort of hero, so I haven't given it much thought. |
| Emu |
Let's do one of those next time! How about Stretcho the Pliable Knight?! |
| KAITO |
A story about a knight, hm? I might have an idea or two I could suggest. |
| Emu |
See, even KAITO thinks it's a good idea! C'mon, Tsukasa! Let's do it♪ |
| Tsukasa |
All right, all right. |
| Tsukasa |
Let's suggest the idea to the others before we go deciding what kind of heroic tale it's going to be. |
| KAITO, Tsukasa & Emu (3) | |
|---|---|
| KAITO |
Hm? What is that herbal scent I smell? |
| Emu |
Suhasa ave me a lozenz. (Tsukasa gave me a lozenge.) |
| Tsukasa |
Don't talk with your mouth full. |
| Tsukasa |
It's important for stars to take care of their voices. These lozenges are a bit expensive, but using them regularly does wonders for— |
| Emu |
*crunch crunch* |
| Tsukasa |
Hey! I told you to suck on it! No chewing! |
| Emu |
Wow, Tsukasa! Your voice really carried just now☆ |
| KAITO |
Hahaha. It would seem the lozenges are already working. |
| KAITO, Tsukasa & Emu (4) | |
|---|---|
| KAITO |
Tsukasa, what's wrong? You seem a bit down today. |
| Emu |
That's because he took a big tumble during our last show. |
| Emu |
The sword he was holding went flying and jabbed right into the dragon's head. |
| Tsukasa |
Miraculously, it ended up making everyone laugh before the curtain fell, but I can't believe I messed up such an important scene. |
| KAITO |
..... |
| KAITO |
That's a future star for you, though. You've even managed to make an ally of Lady Luck herself! |
| Tsukasa |
Hey! |
| Tsukasa |
You know, you're right. I took a huge failure and turned it into a huge success! I really am amazing, aren't I?! |
| Tsukasa |
The stars above must have been watching over me since the day I was born! They have promised me a bright future as a star myself! |
| Emu |
Thanks, KAITO. Tsukasa is back to his usual self! |
| KAITO |
Hehe. You're welcome. |
| KAITO, Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| KAITO |
Nene, do you always take Robo-Nene with you? |
| Nene |
Not always. I make sure not to take it to school because I'm worried the teachers might confiscate it. |
| KAITO |
So she takes care of the house while you're at school, then? That's nice of you, Robo-Nene. |
| Nene |
(Oh, that's right. KAITO doesn't really treat Robo-Nene like a robot.) |
| Nene |
(Is that just his personality? Or is that because he himself is a VIRTUAL SINGER?) |
| Emu |
Good job, Robo-Nene! Keep up the good work♪ |
| Nene |
Ah... |
| Nene |
(I forgot there was someone else who doesn't seem to bother with the distinction. Oh, well.) |
| KAITO, Emu & Nene (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Nene! Can you show us the Robo-Nene Beam? |
| Nene |
What? Where'd that come from, all of a sudden? |
| KAITO |
Hahaha. We were discussing what sort of things Robo-Nene was capable of and the laser came up. |
| KAITO |
It doesn't really sound like something you'd need for your shows, though. Can Robo-Nene really shoot lasers? |
| Nene |
I don't know. This is Rui we're talking about, though. Knowing him, he probably doesn't think a robot is a robot unless it can. |
| KAITO |
Hehe. I think I kind of understand. All boys dream of robots that can shoot lasers. |
| Emu |
So that means it can, right?! I wanna see it! |
| Nene |
If he put in as much effort as I'm guessing to make a real laser, it could be pretty dangerous. |
| Nene |
Worst case scenario, we end up leveling part of the park. |
| KAITO |
Hahaha... Well, as exciting as it sounds to see a laser, I'd prefer to avoid that. |
| KAITO, Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
KAITO, I'm interested in learning more about your stage mechanisms. Would you be willing to give me a tour? |
| KAITO |
Of course! Would you like to join us, Emu? |
| Emu |
Really?! What do you mean by stage mechanisms, though? |
| KAITO |
That's how we refer to all the equipment used during a show. For example, the devices used to raise and lower backgrounds and curtains or adjust the lights. |
| Rui |
It also includes trap doors, rotating platforms, horizontal sliding platforms, and a number of other things. |
| KAITO |
Haha. Our stage isn't quite that complicated, but I think you'll enjoy it just the same. |
| Emu |
Rotating and sliding floors?! That sounds wonderhoy! Hehehe, I can't wait to see☆ |
| KAITO, Emu & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
KAITO, where exactly do all the balloons come from and how are they made? |
| KAITO |
Hehe. Why don't you try finding the answer yourself? It will be more fun that way. |
| KAITO |
We can call it, Operation Uncover the Secret of the Balloons! What do you say? |
| Emu |
Like a mission?! That sounds like fun! |
| Emu |
Rui! Rui! Let's go on a mission! |
| Rui |
Hehe. I suppose being handed the answer would be a bit dull. |
| Rui |
(KAITO sure is good at taking something as mundane as this and coming up with an idea that puts a smile on someone's face.) |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
Have we decided on what we're doing for our next show? |
| Emu |
Actually, there are so many things I want to do that I can't decide! |
| Tsukasa |
Heh. I have a suggestion. |
| Tsukasa |
What if we do an episodic style show? By doing a bunch of smaller shows, we'll be able to include everything you have in mind! |
| Nene |
Huh. That's actually a good idea for once. |
| Tsukasa |
What do you mean, for once?! |
| Emu |
I like that idea! Great, let's go see what Rui thinks! |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Nene (2) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Whoah?! |
| Emu |
Tsukasa, what're you so jumpy for? |
| Tsukasa |
It's not like I did it on purpose! I was just trying to sit down, and the bench tried to start flying up into the air! |
| Emu |
Really?! That's amazing! |
| Nene |
It is, but wouldn't it be dangerous to just keep rising into the air like that? |
| Emu |
You think so? But then you could dangle your legs and swing 'em all around! |
| Tsukasa |
Well, in your case, the bench wouldn't even need to fly for that... |
| Nene |
Yeah. You're fine as is. |
| Emu |
Hwah? |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Nene (3) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Ah! Look, you two! That tree looks like a cute bear! |
| Nene |
That one? I guess it does sorta look like a bear from here. |
| Tsukasa |
I don't see any bear-shaped trees. You two are just imagining things. |
| Nene |
Hmph. It must only be visible to those that are pure of heart. |
| Emu |
What?! When did he become so jaded? Oh Tsukasa, you poor thing! |
| Nene |
Yes. Such a shame. |
| Tsukasa |
Will you two stop trying to find ways to pity me?! |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Emu, I heard you and Miku rode the flying train. |
| Emu |
Yep! It was super high and fast! I couldn't help but keep yelling how amazing the view was♪ |
| Rui |
Hehe. Were you trying to imitate Ishikawa Goemon from the famous Kabuki play? |
| Emu |
Hwah? Who's that? |
| Tsukasa |
You've never heard of him...? |
| Tsukasa |
Wait, I didn't know you watched kabuki plays as well as musicals, Rui. |
| Rui |
It's a very unique style of stage theater. I watch it from time to time as a means of study. |
| Rui |
Right now, however, I would much rather see the view Emu did from the train. |
| Emu |
Miku showed me how to get on! Now I can ride it whenever I want♪ |
| Rui |
That was nice of her. Why don't you lead the way, then? |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hyaaah! |
| Tsukasa |
Huh? Emu, what in the world are you doing? Why do you keep climbing that tree and jumping out of it? |
| Emu |
I'm trying to fly, of course. |
| Emu |
If a giant merry-go-round can do it, then it only makes sense that I should be able to as well! |
| Tsukasa |
That's not how it works... Rui, a little help? |
| Rui |
Of course. In order to fly, you need to get a proper running start. Then you have to flap your arms like so. |
| Tsukasa |
I didn't mean to give her flying advice... |
| Emu |
Oh, I see. So I've got to be more like a bird! You want to join me, Tsukasa? |
| Tsukasa |
No, I do not! |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Rui (3) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
This place is always so much fun with the balloons and bubbles floating around everywhere! |
| Tsukasa |
Yeah. That's definitely something that children would enjoy. |
| Rui |
Should we give it a try ourselves, then? |
| Rui |
Doing exactly the same thing would be a bit mundane, though. What if we were to use helium and soap to make sky bubbles? |
| Emu |
Sky bubbles?! |
| Rui |
They were quite popular on social media not too long ago. We can create whatever shapes we like, then send them soaring into the sky. |
| Emu |
Wow! That sounds so cool! Let's do it, Tsukasa! |
| Tsukasa |
That's an oddly straightforward, safe idea for you, Rui. All right, we can do some experimenting once we get back! |
| Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Rui? You look a little sad. What's wrong? |
| Rui |
Well, it would seem that one of the plushies was in a bit of an accident. |
| Nene |
What the?! Where's its head?! |
| Emu |
Wh-Wh-What do we do?! Should we call an ambulance?! |
| Rui |
Hehe. Sorry, you two. |
| Rui |
Look, there's nothing to worry about. |
| Emu |
What?! Its head just popped out! What's going on?! |
| Rui |
Hehe. This little one has a special ability and wanted to surprise you both with it. I was simply lending a hand. Isn't that right? |
| Nene |
Don't do that! I was really worried for a minute there. Do that again, and I'm going to use the Robo-Nene beam on you. |
| Rui |
Hehe. How frightening. I will be sure to keep that in mind. |
| Emu, Nene & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
If you startle the flowers growing here, they make that silly, scrunched-up face. |
| Rui |
Silly scrunched-up face? Oh, you mean like the one manga characters sometimes get? |
| Nene |
You're pretty good at making that face yourself, Emu. Try making the one you get when you eat an umeboshi. |
| Emu |
Sure♪ Ready, and... sour face! |
| Nene |
Yeah! That's the one. |
| Rui |
For me, I'm most surprised at the fact Nene is having so much fun. |
| Nene |
What? I-I don't think I'm being any different to usual... |
| Emu |
Hey, Nene. Sour face! |
| Nene |
Pfff... Hahaha! |
| Rui |
Well, well. Hehe. I think we may have discovered a previously unknown side of Nene. |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
"Now, take a look inside this box!" |
| Tsukasa |
Hmm... That didn't sound quite right. |
| Emu |
Are you practicing on your own, Tsukasa? |
| Tsukasa |
Yes. I'm trying to act out a section of a play I got from the library, but I can't seem to get it right. |
| Tsukasa |
I'm playing a peddler from the Edo period, but I'm having so much trouble wrapping my head around this character... |
| Nene |
That sounds pretty hard since we haven't actually done many historical plays. |
| Rui |
I agree. However, we should get more chances to learn about the things we haven't experienced yet in the future. |
| Tsukasa |
Yes, you're right... I am sure I can use those opportunities to finally comprehend that which I have yet to realize... |
| Tsukasa |
I am looking forward to seeing what these uncharted lands have to offer! |
| Rui |
Hehe. As am I. |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
This place is so expansive... |
| Rui |
And there are plenty of places we've yet to see. I hope we can spend time exploring it all. |
| Emu |
Me too! I wanna learn more about this place and get to know all the plushies! |
| Tsukasa |
Yes, and I am eager to see what awaits us beyond the sea! |
| Nene |
You mean Star Island...? |
| Tsukasa |
Indeed. We currently have no way of getting there... But someday we'll board that ship and go there. |
| Tsukasa |
To Star Island! The four of us! |
| Emu & Nene & Rui |
Yeah! Yes! |
| Cinnamoroll & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Cinnamon! Want some candy? |
 Cinnamoroll |
Yum! Candy♪ |
| Emu |
Here you go☆ |
| Cinnamoroll |
Thank you, Emu! Yum yum yum! |
| Cinnamoroll |
It's so nummy♪ Squishy squishy... |
| Emu |
Why are you squishing your cheeks, Cinnamon? |
| Cinnamoroll |
Hehehe. I think it'll taste even nummier if I do this♪ |
| Emu |
Really?! Lemme try♪ |
| Emu & Cinnamoroll |
Squishy squishy squishy! |
| Cinnamoroll & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Cinnamoroll |
It's so warm and sunny, I'm getting a little sleepy. *Yawn* |
| Emu |
We've played a lot today. Do you wanna take a little nap? |
| Cinnamoroll |
Uh-huh... Emu, can I sleep in your lap? |
| Emu |
Go ahead! |
| Cinnamoroll |
Yaaay♪ *Yawn* Nighty night... |
| Emu |
Hehehe. Cinnamon's just like Luka right now! |
| Cinnamoroll |
Luka...? Is that...? |
| Emu |
She's always asking MEIKO if she can use her lap as a pillow while she naps nice and soundly♪ |
| Cinnamoroll |
Oh, really? |
| Cinnamoroll |
(I thought she meant the Luka that was with Miku and the others, but maybe it's a different Luka?) |
| Cinnamoroll |
*Yawn* Thinking can wait. Now I sleep... *Mumble* |
| Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Yahohoy♪ Time for club activities♪ |
| Emu |
I'll start with rhythmic gymnastics, then it's swimming, dance, and handball! |
| Emu |
All right☆ Time to have fun with all my friends! |
| Ichika & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
——♪ ——♪ |
 Ichika |
Otori, are you singing a Miku song? |
| Emu |
Yup♪ Honami heard it yesterday and told me about it! |
| Ichika |
Honami did? |
| Emu |
Yup♪ Oh, now that I think about it, I remember she said you were the one who told her about it! |
| Ichika |
I thought that might be the one. The song sounded familiar. |
| Emu |
Which means I got to learn about this fun song all because of you! Thanks, Ichika! |
| Ichika |
Hehe. You're welcome. |
| Saki & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
 Saki |
Emu! Emu! How do you do the wonderhoy pose again? |
| Emu |
It's easy♪ First, you put your arms here like this. |
| Saki |
Okay! |
| Emu |
Wheel them around... and swing out with a bang! Wonderhoy♪ |
| Saki |
So, wheel them around and... Wonderhoy♪ |
| Emu |
Awesome! Saki, that was perfect☆ |
| Saki |
All right! Hehe, the next time we go watch one of your shows, let's do the wonderhoy pose together with Ichi, Hona, and Shiho! |
| Emu |
Really?! Yaaay! I'll keep an eye out for you♪ |
| Honami & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Honami, have you ever been to Phoenix Wonderland? |
 Honami |
Yeah. I went with my friends when I was little. |
| Honami |
It feels like forever ago. I still have the Phenny plushie I bought. |
| Emu |
Really?! Hehehe. I've got something you'll love, then! |
| Emu |
We do a show for the Wonder Stage with a bunch of mascot characters! Phenny is in it, too♪ |
| Honami |
A mascot show? Hehe. That sounds like something Shiho would love. |
| Honami |
Thanks, Emu. I'll have to invite a friend of mine. |
| Honami & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Honami! Honami! It's terrible! |
| Honami |
Wh-What's so terrible, Emu? |
| Emu |
So... This taiyaki place I really like added something new to their menu! Apple-pie taiyakis! |
| Honami |
A-Apple-pie taiyakis? |
| Emu |
Yup! They're supposed to be really crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside like real apple pies too! |
| Honami |
D-Does that count as an apple pie...? Still, I am a little curious... |
| Emu |
Yay! Let's go get some together sometime♪ |
| Honami |
Yes, I'll be looking forward to it. |
| Honami & Emu (3) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Honami! Honami! We get to draw stuff during art class today! I can't wait☆ |
| Honami |
Hehe. Me too. |
| Honami |
(Until recently, I never found myself looking forward to art class. If anything, I sort of dreaded it. But now...) |
| Emu |
Honami...? Do you still not really like drawing for art class yet...? |
| Honami |
Oh, no, it's not that. I'm actually looking forward to it a bit more now. |
| Emu |
Really?! That's great! |
| Emu |
Then, let's show each other what we've drawn after we're done♪ |
| Honami |
Okay! |
| Shiho & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Wahahahaha! |
 Shiho |
Huh?! Was that a person running by just now...? |
| Shiho |
Hm? Someone dropped a handkerchief. |
| Emu |
Wonderhoy! Sorry, that's mine! Thank you so much for picking it up☆ |
| Shiho |
Y-You're welcome... |
| Shiho & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hey! So like, there are a lot of musical instruments in a band, right? What instrument do you see me using? |
| Shiho |
I don't know. Just pick something that's you? |
| Emu |
Whoa! You're so cool, Shiho! But I really wanna know which instrument you think will fit my image♪ |
| Shiho |
Your image, huh. In that case... |
| Emu |
In that case? |
| Shiho |
The tambourine. |
| Emu |
Wow! I love the tambourine! Thumpa-thumpa♪ Shaa-shaa tring-a-ling-ling♪ |
| Shiho |
(Yeah, I thought so.) |
| Haruka & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Today's another wonderhoy-ful day♪ |
 Haruka |
Otori, what does wonderhoy mean? |
| Emu |
Well, you can use it in a lot of different situations... But mostly it's like a mantra that's supposed to make people smile, I guess! |
| Emu |
You can say it to yourself, or use it to cheer someone else up! |
| Haruka |
A mantra that makes people smile? Hehe, that's a wonderful mantra to have indeed. |
| Haruka & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Haruka, are you in any afterschool clubs? |
| Haruka |
Not now, but I was in the basketball club in junior high school. |
| Haruka |
Still, I was so busy with work that I never got to take part in any official club matches. |
| Emu |
Oh, why don't you rejoin the basketball club, then? I'll drop by to play with you, too! |
| Haruka |
That's true... Joining a club, huh. Shizuku and Airi are both in clubs as well. I'll think about it. |
| Emu |
Yeah! You should do it! It'll be fun♪ |
| Airi & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hey♪ Hey♪ Spinny-spin! Then it's BOOM and wonderhoy☆ |
 Airi |
Y-You jumped that far after skipping and doing a triple pirouette?! How are you able to stay on your feet through all that?! |
| Airi |
Bravo, Emu! A great show from a great performer! |
| Airi |
(Still, how in the world was she able to maintain her balance while moving with so much power?) |
| Emu |
But I actually think you're also really, really great, Airi! |
| Emu |
Whenever I tried doing your Happy Side Steps at the same speed as you, I could never get the shuffle step after that right. |
| Airi |
Oh, you mean the part where you have to switch back? There's actually a bit of a trick to that. |
| Airi |
Why don't we take this opportunity to show each other how to do our respective routines? |
| Emu |
You're gonna teach me the secret behind doing Happy Side Steps?! P-Please, show me the way...! |
| Emu & Mafuyu (1) | |
|---|---|
 Mafuyu |
Otori, you seem a bit intimidated by me sometimes. Why is that? |
| Emu |
Huh? That's because you're really scar— |
| Emu |
*Gasp*! N-Nothing! I-I-I'm just nervous, that's all! |
| Mafuyu |
Oh. But you know... |
| Mafuyu |
It would really make my day if you could talk to me like your normal self without minding all this senior and junior business. |
| Emu |
Oh... I can do that! |
| Emu |
(Hehe, when she said it would make her day just now, it seemed like she really meant it... a little bit!) |
| Emu & Mafuyu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Mafuyu |
Hello, Otori. Do you have club activities too? |
| Emu |
Yes! Today's handball and swimming club day! |
| Mafuyu |
More than one club? That has to be physically taxing. Are you doing okay? |
| Emu |
I'm more than okay♪ Oh, but I guess it is a little hard to switch my mindset around quickly enough... |
| Emu |
Especially when I go for handball practice after rhythmic gymnastics. I'll end up catching balls coming my way with gymnastic moves! |
| Mafuyu |
The fact that you can catch balls using gymnastic moves is amazing. I should pop by the field to see how you do it one of these days. |
| Emu |
Oh! In that case, I wanna see your archery club practice too! |
| Mafuyu |
You're welcome to drop by any time you like. |
| Emu & Mafuyu (3) | |
|---|---|
| Mafuyu |
By the way, Otori, you work as a cast member in a theme park, right? |
| Emu |
Yes! With Tsukasa, Nene, Rui, and all the mascots! We perform in a place called Wonder Stage and our shows make everyone smile! |
| Emu |
(Speaking of which! Sometimes, her smile doesn't reach her eyes. I should try to put a real smile on her face today!) |
| Emu |
Asahina! Won-won... Wonderhoy♪ |
| Mafuyu |
Hm? What was that all about? |
| Emu |
(Eep?! It didn't work at all!) |
| Emu |
Um, it's... supposed to be a greeting... |
| Mafuyu |
Oh. Hehe, that's cute. |
| Emu |
R-Really? Ahahaha... |
| Emu & Mafuyu (4) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Asahinaaa♪ Goood morning☆ |
| Mafuyu |
Good morning, Otori. You seem awfully happy. Did something good happen? |
| Emu |
Hehe. So, I didn't have to stop at a single light this morning on my way to school! |
| Mafuyu |
Not one? That's remarkable. |
| Emu |
Heh heh heh. It means the girl you see in front of you has super-duper-ultra-deluxe luck today! |
| Emu |
Which means, Asahina, since you ran into me today, you're also going to have an extra lucky day! |
| Mafuyu |
Hehe. I am? Then, I'll do okay on any pop quizzes I may be given today? |
| Emu |
Yup! You might even be able to pass them with your eyes closed! |
| Mafuyu |
With my eyes closed...? I'm not sure any amount of luck could help with that... |
| Saki, Shiho & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Shiho |
Otori, you're doing a pretty good job as the class representative. |
| Emu |
What?! I am?! |
| Saki |
Yeah, I totally agree! |
| Saki |
It got so tense the other day when people started arguing over cleaning duties... |
| Saki |
But it was amazing when you swooped in as the bucket fairy and convinced everyone to cooperate and pick their roles! |
| Shiho |
The teacher was surprised enough to say, "I never would've thought of this method..." |
| Emu |
Hehe. I'm really glad everyone liked my idea♪ |
| Emu |
But I've still got lots more tricks up my sleeve! It's my duty as the class representative to make sure everyone keeps on smiling! |
| Emu |
So, I'm gonna do my best to make our class really wonderhoy☆ |
| Saki, Shiho & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Shiho |
Otori, you really stole the show when we played basketball during P.E. |
| Saki |
Yeah, it's incredible that you scored the most points! We tried so hard to make a comeback, but we didn't stand a chance! |
| Emu |
Thanks! I'm usually pretty good at those kinds of sports♪ |
| Saki |
Yeah, how'd you make all those shots?! Please teach me your ways! |
| Emu |
Hmm... I dunno if this is gonna help, but... |
| Emu |
I just go, "Dribble, stop, shoot!" Then, the ball usually swooshes right through the net! |
| Saki |
Dribble, stop, shoot?! |
| Shiho |
That's a little vague... I guess there's a sort of rhythm to it? |
| Saki |
Rhythm... Oh, I think I sorta understand now! |
| Saki |
Alright, I'm gonna practice a bunch! Get ready to lose during next week's class, Emu! |
| Emu |
Hehe. You're on☆ |
| Saki, Airi & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Over here♪ Over there♪ Lots of bread everywhere♪ |
| Saki |
Oh! Hi, Emu! |
| Airi |
Sounds like somebody's happy. What were you singing just now? |
| Emu |
Hehe. That was my lots of bread everywhere song! |
| Emu |
There's gonna be more types of bread than usual at the school store today and I can't wait to see what I can get♪ |
| Airi |
That's right! It's one of those days when they have a special sale for dessert buns, sandwiches and stuff like that. |
| Airi |
There's this really good custard bun that's a little too pricey to sell regularly, so you can only get them during these sales. |
| Saki |
They have those?! Oh, I really wanna try one! |
| Emu |
We might be able to if we hurry! Let's gooo♪ |
|
*Hurried Foosteps*
| |
| Airi |
E-Emu, wait! Hey! No running in the corridor! |
| Saki, Airi & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Airi! Saki! I saw your show from the other day☆ It was super duper amazingly fun♪ |
| Saki |
I saw it too! I loved the part where you did the Happy Snacker so much that I made a short clip of it for myself♪ |
| Emu |
Oh, that reminds me! I saw some videos of other people copying you♪ |
| Saki |
Me too! There was this really adorable one of a mom and her toddler doing it together. |
| Airi |
Oh, really? I had no idea. I haven't actually had a chance to look yet. |
| Saki |
In that case, you should search by using #HappySnacker! |
| Airi |
Wait, there's a hashtag? |
| Airi |
Thanks for telling me! I'll take a look in a little bit! |
| Saki, Airi & Emu (3) | |
|---|---|
| Saki |
Ooh, ooh! Can we have a cheese fondue party next time? |
| Airi |
So cheese fondue will be our follow-up to chocolate fondue. Sounds good, let's do it! |
| Emu |
I'm in too! I wanna eat lots of melty, fluffy, piping hot cheese☆ |
| Saki |
Woohoo! I just can't forget that feeling of coating foods in deliciousness to make them taste even better...! |
| Emu |
Yeah, absolutely! I wanna use the power of cheese to transfooorm all kinds of food☆ |
| Airi |
(I ate too much chocolate last time, and it was tough getting back into shape... So, I'll go in with a plan this time...!) |
| Shiho, Haruka & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
That game of dodgeball we played the other day was sooo much fun! Hey, hey, let's all play something together again sometime! |
| Haruka |
That sounds good. If we want to play something we can all do together... What about basketball? |
| Emu |
Whoa, we'd all go THUNK THUNK WOOSH☆ That sounds fun! |
| Shiho |
Oh... But basketballs are hard, and I think I'd be in a tough spot on the off chance I jammed a finger. |
| Haruka |
Then maybe a card or board game would be better than a sport? |
| Emu |
Oh! I know one we can play even in a big group! You line up the words written on different cards and make your own mythical creatures! |
| Emu |
And then, the winner is the person whose creature best fits whatever the theme is, like "cute" or "cool"! |
| Shiho |
Huh... That sounds kinda fun. |
| Haruka |
We should be able to do that in the classroom, so let's invite everyone and give it a try sometime. |
| Tsukasa & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hehe. Thanks for having me over again today☆ |
| Tsukasa |
Hey, not so loud! Try to be more discreet! |
| Emu |
Then, what if I were a little quieter and sneakier? |
| Tsukasa |
Well, as long as the teachers don't hear you... Wait, no. They might scold us even more for trying to hide you. |
| Emu |
Anyway, where are Nene and Rui? |
| Tsukasa |
I'm not sure about Nene, but Rui said he'll be busy with greening committee business. He might be watering the flowers in the courtyard right now. |
| Emu |
Oh! Then, I'm gonna go help him so it goes faster♪ |
|
*Cartoon Dash*
| |
| Tsukasa |
Ah, that's a wonderful... No, stop right there! Quit trying to go exploring! You're not a student here! |
| Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Neneee!! |
| Nene |
E-Emu?! Did you sneak in again? |
| Emu |
Hehe. I've been coming here so much that I'm sort of a student here now too♪ |
| Nene |
Yeah, I don't think it works like that. |
| Nene |
Let me put it this way. How would you feel if Tsukasa started showing up at Miya Girls? |
| Emu |
Well... I'd think that he's there to pick up Saki! |
| Emu |
Yeah, that's it! I can just say that I'm here to pick you guys up from school, Nene! |
| Nene |
Yeah, that's not gonna fly either... |
| Nene |
(Ugh... You should've come up with a better example, Nene...) |
| Emu & Nene (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Neneee! It's wonderhoy after school time☆ |
| Nene |
E-Emu?! Did you sneak in again?! |
| Emu |
Hehe. You promised to go shopping with me today, remember? So, I decided to come get you! |
| Nene |
Th-Thanks, but you wandering in this far seriously increases the odds of the teachers finding you and— |
|
*Hurried Footsteps*
| |
| Teacher |
Stop right there, Kamishiro! I know you're the one who covered the multipurpose room in confetti!! |
|
*Hurried Footsteps*
| |
| Emu |
Wow, Rui looks like he's having so much fun! Is he playing tag with that teacher?! |
| Nene |
(M-My brain can't keep up. There's too much going on all at once. Please, someone, help me...) |
| Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Rui, do you mind if I ask you a favor? |
| Rui |
Oh, And what sort of favor brings you all the way to my school to ask? |
| Emu |
You see, I was hoping you'd make another Robo-Nene, but this time make it a Robo-Tsukasa! |
| Rui |
Hehehe. I see. Having two of him would certainly make for an even livelier show. |
| Rui |
It would take a bit of preparation, and I will need some materials, but I'll consider it. |
| Emu & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hello, Rui! |
| Rui |
Hehe. I see you've come again. Great job making all the way over here. |
| Emu |
Hehehe. I made sure to say hi to everyone I passed on the way. It's all good. |
| Rui |
They most likely sensed trouble and therefore decided to feign ignorance so as to not get involved. |
| Rui |
Well, since you're here, why don't we find Tsukasa and Nene? |
| Emu |
Yay! Tsukasa! Nene! Come out, come out, wherever you are♪ |
| Emu & Ena (1) | |
|---|---|
 Ena |
*Sigh* Classes are such a drag... Hm? Is that...? |
| Emu |
Oh, Ena, hi! |
| Ena |
Emu?! You know this is Kamiyama High, right? |
| Emu |
I do☆ I'm here to meet everyone from my troupe! |
| Ena |
O-Oh, I see. But aren't you normally supposed to wait for them down by the gate? |
| Ena |
(Also, no one else seems surprised. Is this something she does on a regular basis?) |
| Emu |
Ena, I hope you get a chance to visit and see our show again! Anyway, see you later! |
|
*Whoosh*
| |
| Ena |
Okay... Wait, she just went into the school...! But no one seems bothered by it... |
| Ena |
So, there's nothing for me to worry about? In that case, I'll head to my classroom... |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
We'll head to Phoenix Wonderland as soon as Nene arrives. |
| Emu |
Okay! I can't wait for today's rehearsal♪ |
| Tsukasa |
You say that so casually for someone who keeps sneaking in here from a different school! |
| Emu |
Oh, come on Tsukasa. I've been here so many times that I thought you'd be over that by now. |
| Tsukasa |
Coming more often doesn't make it better! If a teacher catches you... |
| Rui |
Don't worry. If that happens, we have you to act as a decoy while I help her escape. |
| Tsukasa |
Can you two at least save your reckless behavior for the stage?! |
| Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
Oh, hello Emu. Back for another visit? |
| Emu |
Yeah! I came to hang out! |
| Nene |
You make it sound like you're visiting a friend's house. You're going to get in trouble if a teacher sees you. |
| Emu |
But I'm just visiting my friends. |
| Nene |
That's my mistake... I should have known common sense wouldn't work with you. |
| Rui |
Come now, Nene. It's just one person. I'm sure you can find it in your heart to forgive her this time. |
| Emu |
Nene... |
| Nene |
I'm just pointing out the facts. Why are you both making it sound like I'm the bad guy? |
| Kohane & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
 Kohane |
Oh, Emu. The show that used all of Phoenix Wonderland as a stage was your guys' idea, right? |
| Emu |
Yup♪ Rui, Tsukasa, Nene and I all worked super duper hard to come up with it☆ |
| Emu |
Were you there to see it, Kohane? |
| Kohane |
Sorry, I only saw it through some videos on social media. I was performing in an event that day and didn't know until the next day when PXL was trending really high... |
| Emu |
That's okay! We're gonna do more shows just like that one! The whole park's gonna look extra pretty, so I hope you get a chance to see one♪ |
| Kohane |
I will! My dad really wants to see one of your shows and all the illuminations, so we might just go as a family if we do get a chance to see both. |
| Emu |
Yay☆ I can't wait to see you all there♪ |
| Tsukasa & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
If we could get all the people walking by to come to the show, we'd have a straight flush! |
| Tsukasa |
I think you mean a full house. |
| Tsukasa |
And while that would be nice, how do you propose we do that? Flyers? Or maybe a small promotional performance to bring attention to the show? |
| Emu |
Hehehe. I have a better plan. We dig a tunnel that leads straight to the stage! |
| Tsukasa |
I see. Having a tunnel would certainly help people find the... |
| Tsukasa |
Hold on! We can't dig a tunnel! |
| Tsukasa & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh, Tsukasa, have you joined a club? I haven't, but I did become a class representative! |
| Tsukasa |
Did you come to ask a question or just to talk about yourself?! |
| Tsukasa |
Anyway... Like you, I chose to forgo clubs and joined a committee instead. |
| Tsukasa |
Behold, Kamiyama's new hall monitor! |
| Emu |
Whoa, you're a hall monitor?! That's so cool... |
| Emu |
That means you have to say, "Your skirt's too short," and, "Too many piercings," and, "No students from other schools allowed...!" |
| Emu |
Wait a second... Does that mean you have to report me the next time I go to Kamiyama High?! |
| Tsukasa |
Yes, that's right. So, you'll need to behave this year... |
| Emu |
Aww... But I wanna go see you guys... |
| Emu |
(No, I can still get Nene to help me...!) |
| Emu |
(Next time I go, I'll let her know in secret☆) |
| Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Shopping♪ Shopping♪ |
| Nene |
You're really that happy about us doing some shopping together? |
| Emu |
Yup! Because I'm shopping with you, Nene♪ |
| Nene |
What...? But we see each other almost every day during practice... Today doesn't seem all that different... |
| Emu |
I don't think so. We talk a lot at the Wonder Stage, but it's usually about our shows and stuff, right? |
| Emu |
But when we go out to have fun, we get to talk about other stuff, like our favorite clothes and food☆ |
| Emu |
That's why I think every trip out is a chance for us to get to know each other better and better♪ |
| Nene |
R-Right... |
| Nene |
Then... Let's talk about lots of different things today. |
| Emu |
Yeah♪ |
| Emu & Nene (2) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
It's been a while since we last went shopping together like this... |
| Emu |
Yeah☆ Thanks for inviting me out today, Nene♪ |
| Nene |
Thanks for joining me. |
| Nene |
I've been wanting to take a breather now that we've finished doing the anniversary show for Phoenix Wonderland. |
| Emu |
So, where should we go first? One of the shops by the station? The mall? |
| Nene |
My hope is as many places as we can. A lot of new shops and popular spots seem to have popped up since the last time I came to hang out. |
| Emu |
Oh, Nene, you sound really energized today! |
| Nene |
I wanna make the most of the time we have, so this is fine once in a while. So, Emu, let me know if there's any place that interests you. We can go check it out together. |
| Emu |
Really?! Then, I wanna go to the... |
| Emu & Nene (3) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Neneee! It's wonderhoy after school time☆ |
| Nene |
E-Emu?! Did you sneak in again?! |
| Emu |
Hehe. You promised to go shopping with me today, remember? So, I decided to come get you! |
| Nene |
Th-Thanks, but you wandering in this far seriously increases the odds of the teachers finding you and— |
|
*Hurried Footsteps*
| |
| Teacher |
Stop right there, Kamishiro! I know you're the one who covered the multipurpose room in confetti!! |
|
*Hurried Footsteps*
| |
| Emu |
Wow, Rui looks like he's having so much fun! Is he playing tag with that teacher?! |
| Nene |
(M-My brain can't keep up. There's too much going on all at once. Please, someone, help me...) |
| Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
Emu, what is the most interesting show you can remember watching? |
| Emu |
Hm... Probably Stretcho the Pliable Knight! |
| Emu |
Stretcho's body was super soft, so he was really good at helping others relax! Stiff shoulders, stuck-up superiors, even the hearts of his enemies! |
| Emu |
There was a segment at the end called Stretcho's Gymnastics, too. That's how I learned to do jumps and spins and such! |
| Rui |
Hehe. I wasn't even aware such a program existed. Thank you, Emu. I will be sure to take a look at it. |
| Emu & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
I want to try putting on a show in a place like this. What kind of things would I have to pay attention to? |
| Rui |
Well, let's see. I'm always careful to make sure I begin bewitching the crowd even while I'm setting up. |
| Rui |
You have to make it interesting from the very beginning right through to the end, that way anyone can start watching from any point. |
| Emu |
Okay, I think I get it. Even the setup is part of the show! |
| Honami, Emu & Ena (1) | |
|---|---|
| Ena |
Oh, Emu! Honami! Did you two just get out of school? |
| Emu |
Yes! We were just about to go to this new cafe to try their apple pies☆ |
| Emu |
They come with ice cream on top, so they're supposed to be hot, icy and creamy all at the same time! |
| Ena |
Wow, that sounds nice. Hmm... I really don't feel like going to school, so maybe I'll skip. |
| Honami |
Wait, are you sure about doing that? |
| Ena |
No, I should probably go. However, I'm really interested in this cafe now, so can you tell me more about it? |
| Ena |
(If I invite someone when I have some free time...) |
| Emu |
Honami, can we go get apple pies some other time...?! |
| Ena |
What...? |
| Honami |
Yes, I was just about to ask you the same thing. |
| Honami |
Ena, why don't we go to this cafe together sometime? |
| Ena |
Y-You don't have to do that for me... |
| Emu |
No, we really want to go with you☆ |
| Ena |
Really...? Then, let's go when we're all free. |
| Honami & Emu |
Okay! |
| Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
This intersection shows up in a lot of movies and dramas, doesn't it? |
| Nene |
Yeah, I suppose it does. There are a lot of games that are set in this area as well. |
| Emu |
Really?! Do you think any plays are set here? |
| Nene |
No, I don't think I've ever seen a play set here. |
| Rui |
Hehe. In that case, what do you say we make one? |
| Honami, Emu, Kanade & Mizuki (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
I'm so glad the four of us get to hang out like this again☆ |
| Honami |
Hehe. Me too. Thank you for joining us, Ms. Yoisaki. |
 Kanade |
It worked out nicely since I already had plans to go somewhere. Anyway, about this cafe you said you wanted to see... |
 Mizuki |
Yeah, it's a cafe with an orchard inside! You can have parfaits made using the fruits you pick right there♪ |
| Kanade |
Wait, they have an indoor orchard? |
| Mizuki |
I know, right?! I couldn't believe it when I first saw it online. |
| Honami |
I looked up their website after Mizuki told us about it... It looks really incredible. |
| Kanade |
Really...? Maybe I should've looked it up too... |
| Emu |
I didn't look anything up☆ I wanna be wowed when I see it in real life♪ |
| Mizuki |
Yeah, I like that! There's a real wow factor, so it'll be great to see how you two react when we get there! |
| Honami |
Hehe. Then, let's start heading over. We do have a reservation to keep. |
| Emu & Mizuki |
Yeah! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
P-P-Parfaits♪ Fun, fun parfaits with everyone♪ |
| Rui |
Hehe. You seem to be in a good mood, Emu. |
| Nene |
We've been so busy lately. It's nice that we finally get to go out for parfaits again like this. |
| Emu |
Yeah, exactly! Also, they've apparently added some seasonal stuff to their menu! |
| Emu |
I already know what I'm getting! The supersized seasonal fruits parfait with a mountain of whipped cream! |
| Tsukasa |
The name alone is making my stomach ache... |
| Rui |
Still, I'm glad that we're getting the opportunity to go out for parfaits again. |
| Rui |
In a different universe, it may not have been possible for us to all hang out like this... |
| Nene |
Rui... |
| Emu |
Yeah... |
| Emu |
So, let's keep going out for parfaits together in the future! |
| Tsukasa |
Wait, that's your takeaway?! |
| Saki & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Saki |
So this is your favorite taiyaki place, Emu? |
| Emu |
Yup☆ They have regular ones and super sweet ones with custard in them♪ |
| Saki |
Oh, that does sound good! I think I'll get an assortment of both and share them with my parents and Tsukasa when I get home♪ |
| Emu |
Wait, that place where you always buy snacks is near here too, right, Saki? I wanna check that out too☆ |
| Saki |
You got it! I'll show you all the best stuff they have♪ |
| Emu |
Yay! Hehe. It's like telling each other what we love makes us love them even more! |
| Saki |
Yeah! And there's tons more love where that came from♪ Am I right? |
| Saki & Emu |
Hahaha! |
| Honami & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Honami, this is for you☆ |
| Honami |
Huh? Is this... taiyaki? |
| Emu |
Yup! In return for the apple pie you gave me the other day! |
| Honami |
Oh I see. That day, I bought the store out... You really shouldn't have. |
| Honami |
Oh, did you save some for yourself, though? |
| Emu |
I bought some for myself too! I was thinking we could eat together or something☆ |
| Honami |
Hehe, yes, let's do that. |
| Haruka & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Okay, maybe I'll go that-a-way next? |
| Haruka |
Otori? Hello there. Where are you going? |
| Emu |
Hi, Haruka! I'm currently in the middle of an epic neighborhood exploration quest♪ |
| Haruka |
Neighborhood exploration? |
| Emu |
Yup! An exciting quest where I look for things in the neighborhood I've never seen before! I'm completely addicted to it! |
| Haruka |
That does sound like fun. I need to run some errands in that direction myself, so do you mind if I join in as well? |
| Emu |
I don't mind! Tat-tat-tadah♪ Haruka has joined the party! |
| Haruka |
Hehe, thanks for having me. |
| Airi & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh! That fluffy pink hair... It's gotta be...! |
|
*Hurried Footsteps*
| |
| Emu |
I knew it! It's you, Airi! Wonderhoy! |
| Airi |
Hey, Emu! Were you out shopping? |
| Emu |
No, I actually heard about this shop that makes these bear-shaped cookies and came to have a look on behalf of the Emu Expedition Team! |
| Airi |
Bear-shaped cookies...? Oh, you mean “Bear Stamp Honey Cookies”...? |
| Airi |
I was just about to have a look myself. Mind if I join you on your expedition? |
| Emu |
Yeah, of course! Let's go check it out, Private Airi! |
| Airi |
Alright, Captain Emu, lead the way! |
| Toya & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh, Toya! Won-Won-Wonderhoy!! |
 Toya |
Ah, isn't that how you usually greet Tsukasa and the others? |
| Emu |
Yup☆ It's like a magical spell for making everybody smile♪ |
| Emu |
It doesn't matter if someone's feeling great or a little down. They can't not smile after hearing “Wonderhoy!” Like you right now, Toya. |
| Toya |
Even if they're feeling a little down? I see... |
| Toya |
I apologize if I appeared that way. I stayed up a bit late last night because of this novel that I couldn't stop reading. As a result, I didn't get much sleep. |
| Emu |
Oh, okay! I'm glad to hear that you're feeling okay! |
| Toya |
Yes, and I'm appreciative of your concern. |
| Tsukasa & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
AAAHHHHHH!!! |
| Tsukasa |
Wh-What?! What is it?! |
| Emu |
The taiyaki shop I used to visit with my grandpa is gone! |
| Tsukasa |
Taiyaki? Oh, it's not gone. It just moved around the corner. |
| Emu |
Really?! Where?! |
| Tsukasa |
Hey, I can barely move! I'll take you, but you've got to back up first! |
| Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Look, Nene! This claw machine is full of cute plushies! |
| Emu |
You're really good at games, aren't you?! |
| Nene |
Fighting games, yes. Claw machines, not so much. |
| Emu |
..... |
| Nene |
All right, fine. I guess it can't hurt to try. |
| Emu & Nene (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Nene! The apple pies here are really yummy! |
| Emu |
One of the girls in my class loves them so much that she buys ten or twenty at a time! |
| Nene |
All for herself? Does she give them away or something? |
| Emu |
Other than the ones for her family, they're all for her! |
| Nene |
I guess that means they must be pretty good. Maybe I should try one. |
| Emu & Nene (3) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
Oh, this apple pie place... You said this place is really good, Emu, but there's always a huge line. |
| Emu |
Yup! Hehehe. I wonder if Honami's in that line too. |
| Nene |
You mean Mochizuki? Why would she be here? |
| Emu |
Honami really loooves apple pies! She gets 10 or 20 every time she's here♪ |
| Nene |
Oh, right. You mentioned that before too... |
| Nene |
I see. So the girl from her class that really likes apple pies is Mochizuki. |
| Nene |
It might take a while with this line, but maybe it's worth a try since we're here. |
| Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
I know it was around here somewhere. Ah, here we go. This group here. |
| Emu |
Wow! They go around town starting flash musicals?! |
| Rui |
Yeah, they film all over the city. I heard the extras are all people from around town, too. |
| Emu |
That's so neat! I want to do a show where we get to do this with all the people who come to watch us too! |
| Rui |
Hehe. I'm sure we could find a way to manage that. |
| Emu & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hey, Rui... I really liked your room. Can I visit again sometime? |
| Rui |
Ah, you mean the workshop? Of course. You're welcome anytime. |
| Emu |
Yay! There were some buttons that I didn't get to push, so I'm getting all of them next time♪ |
| Rui |
In that case, why don't I make a special button and hide it somewhere for you to find? |
| Emu |
A special button?! |
| Rui |
Yes, I'll make it so all the robots there will activate and dance all at once! How does that sound? |
| Emu |
Wow...! That sounds really fun!! |
| Emu |
Alright! I'm gonna do everything I can to find that button the next time I come over☆ |
| Emu & Rui (3) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Rui, over here! It's this shop! |
| Rui |
Yes, I remember. The one that had those Cerberus pajamas. |
| Rui |
I have to say, it's quite the idea. A plush head on each shoulder plus your own to make three in total... Hm? |
| Rui |
Wait, that display...! It says, "Cerberus Pajamas Mk II"?! |
| Emu |
What?! They got an upgrade?! |
| Rui |
Yes, it seems that way! Let's see... It appears that these use your hands for the other two heads. |
| Rui |
You can bring your hands next to your head and move the mouths like sock puppets. Yes, this set certainly seems much more dynamic than its predecessor. |
| Emu |
Oh wow...! Anyone who bought the old set's gonna be so excited when they see this one♪ |
| Rui |
Yes, how wonderful would it be if the maker of these did think of these upgrades just for their fans? |
| Rui |
(We're about to set foot into a very big world, but these pajamas act as a nice reminder that we need to keep cherishing the little things that make those around us smile.) |
| Emu & Rui (4) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Rui, I'm so jealous that you guys all go to the same school. |
| Rui |
Where's this coming from all of a sudden? |
| Emu |
Well, I'm the only one who goes to a different school, so I don't get to help you with your fun-looking experiments and stuff! |
| Rui |
Hehe. Yes, I do wish you could give us a hand with those. |
| Rui |
You could conceivably transfer to Kamiyama High... But you also like your school quite a lot, yes? |
| Emu |
Yup! I love everyone at Miya Girls, so I really don't wanna leave! |
| Emu |
That's why I came up with a good idea... |
| Emu |
They should put Kamiyama High and Miya Girls together to make a mega school! Sounds fun, right?! |
| Rui |
Well... |
| Rui |
Yes, that certainly would be fun. |
| Emu |
See what I mean?! I might try suggesting it to the principal☆ |
| Emu & Mizuki (1) | |
|---|---|
| Mizuki |
Hey, Emu! What's up?! |
| Emu |
Hi, Mizuki! Are you out shopping right now? |
| Mizuki |
No, I was just heading over to my shift at the shop where I work part-time. |
| Emu |
Oh, you have a job? That's so cool♪ Where do you work? |
| Mizuki |
At an apparel shop. They've got a huge selection of really cute clothes. |
| Emu |
Wow! Oh, can I come with you? I really wanna see what kinds of clothes they sell. |
| Mizuki |
You do? Then, you're more than welcome to! We've got tons of cute stuff that should really suit you, Emu! |
| Emu |
Woohoo! I can't wait to see! This is so exciting☆ |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Tsukasa! Do a cool pose! |
| Tsukasa |
My pleasure! Hehehe, it just so happens that I developed a brand new one just yesterday. |
| Nene |
Wait, you developed a pose? That's what you do in your free time? That's a little weird... |
| Tsukasa |
Hey! Stop looking at me as if I'm from another planet! |
| Emu |
What? Tsukasa, are you an alien?! Is that pose how you communicate with your fellow aliens or something?! |
| Tsukasa |
Why do conversations with you always have to get so out of hand?! I can't keep up with your ludicrous jokes! |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Nene (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
One here... Oh, and we could put a big one over there! |
| Tsukasa |
Hm? What are you looking at, Emu? |
| Nene |
I think she's looking at the empty billboard spaces. |
| Emu |
Hehehe. I was just thinking we should put up a bunch of posters to advertise the Wonder Stage! |
| Nene |
Just the Wonder Stage? You don't want to advertise all of Phoenix Wonderland? |
| Emu |
Yeah! And not just posters, either! I wanna use all the big TV screens above the intersection too♪ |
| Nene |
Are you planning on hijacking every surface in town? |
| Tsukasa |
You know, the scary thing is the Otori financial group is actually capable of something like that. |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Nene (3) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Nene, how are you so good at controlling Robo-Nene?! |
| Nene |
I practice a lot. Besides, I'm used to using controllers from all the games I play. |
| Tsukasa |
Oh, that's right. I always forget you're a gamer. Do you go to the arcades around here a lot? |
| Nene |
I play at the arcade every once in a while. You want to try a fighting game with me? |
| Tsukasa |
No, I'd rather get to the stage so I can start today's practice. I think I'll pass. |
| Nene |
You're no fun. I was looking forward to destroying you. |
| Tsukasa |
H-Hey! Even I play games every now and then, you know! |
| Emu |
Oh! Oh! That sounds like fun! Let's all four of us have a game battle on our next day off☆ |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Are you always doing performances around here, Rui? |
| Rui |
Yeah. The crowds make it easier to draw an audience, though that also means security is rather strict. It requires careful planning if I'm to see my shows through to the end. |
| Tsukasa |
Security? Please tell me you're not doing anything to disrupt the crowds. |
| Rui |
Hehe. Fear not. See this tile here? Everything from it to the building is private property. As long as I make sure to remain on this side, they don't say anything. |
| Tsukasa |
You mean they can't say anything. |
| Tsukasa |
I'm imagining all the glares you get from the security guards as you somehow manage to avoid stepping over that invisible line... |
| Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
There they are! Nene! Rui! Look! This place is selling pajamas with a three-headed dog on them! |
| Nene |
Wow... It's a bit distorted, but that's Cerberus all right. |
| Rui |
Who would have guessed they'd have such strange pajama designs. This shop sure has an odd assortment of products. |
| Nene |
Is there really a demand for this sort of thing? |
| Rui |
Who knows. I think people who put on performances like we do might find these sorts of designs interesting, though. |
| Rui |
Alright, Emu. Since we're here, let's see if we can't find some hidden gems! What do you say?! |
| Emu |
Okaaay♪ |
| Nene |
You're getting even more into this than she is. |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
Oh, so this is the taiyaki place that you often went to with your grandpa, Emu? |
| Emu |
Yup! Everyone, try one♪ Here we go! Nom☆ |
| Tsukasa |
Huh? You start from the middle?! Not the head or tail?! |
| Emu |
All the bean paste is in the middle, so that means it's the best part, right? |
| Emu |
And if you do this... See! One taiyaki turns into two♪ |
| Nene |
So it feels like you get more. Wait, Rui's splitting his in half... |
| Rui |
The bean paste in the middle is too hot and I'd rather not burn my tongue is all. How about you, Tsukasa? Nene? |
| Tsukasa |
Me? I start from the head. I think the tail at the end serves as a good palette cleanser. |
| Nene |
Oh, I'm the opposite. I start with the tail. I like having some bean paste left for my last bite. |
| Rui |
Even with a specific kind of food, everyone's personalities come to the surface. |
| Emu |
Huh? Hwah wah hat? (Huh? What was that?) |
| Tsukasa |
Emu, don't talk with your mouth full! |
| Nene |
And you got bean paste on your cheek. Here's a tissue. |
| Rui |
(Hehe. Tsukasa and Nene eat taiyaki in opposite ways, but they do stuff like this the same...) |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
Well, our show with Shunmeiza went off without a hitch. This ended up being quite a worthwhile experience for us. |
| Tsukasa |
Yes. Not only did we get to learn from a troupe with famous actors, but we also got to perform in a show alongside them. I couldn't be more grateful. |
| Nene |
This is gonna sound obvious, but they were all such amazing actors... I was a little overwhelmed seeing true pros in action. |
| Nene |
But I'm also really glad we got to do this since those kinds of opportunities don't come up often. |
| Emu |
Yeah, me too! It was so great to hear from the staff about what the production process is like! I learned so much! |
| Tsukasa |
As did I! It sounds like we all had a fruitful experience! |
| Tsukasa |
That being said... We still have a lot of work ahead of us. |
| Tsukasa |
So, let's all keep doing our best and move forward! Together! |
| Emu |
Yeah! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene, Rui (3) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Hm? Another trailer for an upcoming film? |
| Emu |
Hey, he's right! An action-packed, sci-fi musical... It looks like it's got everything! |
| Nene |
When I made that film with my class, people wanted it to cover a lot of different genres when we first started discussing what we were gonna do. |
| Nene |
Some genres seem like they'd never go together, but the pros probably think long and hard about how to get them to work. |
| Rui |
We only got to see how a film's actually shot, so it'd be nice to also learn more about screenwriting if we get the chance. |
| Nene |
I'd also like to learn more about that from a professional. |
| Emu |
I hope we get to learn about making films again someday! |
| Honami & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Ah! I thought I smelled apple pie! Hi, Honami! |
| Honami |
Oh, hello, Emu. I don't have any apple pie today, though. |
| Emu |
You're right. But... *sniff sniff* I still smell it... |
| Honami |
Hehe. Well, I was trying to make my own, but I ran out of ingredients so I decided to come buy some instead. |
| Emu |
You were making your own?! Wow! I wish I could cook. Then I'd be able to eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. |
| Honami & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hi, Honami! Wonderhoy♪ |
| Honami |
Hi, Emu. Are you out shopping too? |
| Emu |
Yup♪ I'm shopping for clothes with my big sis! |
| Honami |
Oh, that's right. You have an older sister. Didn't you also say that you have an older brother too...? |
| Emu |
Yup, I have two big brothers☆ And you have a little brother, right, Honami? Do you ever go shopping and stuff with him? |
| Honami |
I'd like it if we went out more together, but he's at an age where he's a little shy about being seen with me. Lately, he's been giving me the cold shoulder whenever I invite him out. |
| Honami |
But his prickliness is also a little endearing too. |
| Emu |
Haha. I know what you mean. My big brothers are like that with me sometimes! |
| Emu |
Oh, big sis is calling me! I'll talk to you later, Honami♪ |
| Honami |
Okay, see you. |
| Akito & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hi, Akito! Over here!! |
 Akito |
It's her...! Shouting at the top of her lungs too... |
| Akito |
Oh, um... Haha... I apologize for my friend... |
| Akito |
Hey, what are you doing shouting like that...? You're gonna scare everyone around here. |
| Emu |
Hehe. Sorry. I couldn't help it after seeing you... |
| Emu |
I'm about to go eat with my big sis☆ What are you up to? Shopping? |
| Akito |
Yeah, pretty much... Hang on. You didn't dash off and leave your sister behind, did you? |
| Emu |
That's okay! She said I should go say hi to my friend after I told her that I saw you! |
| Akito |
Oh, okay. She sounds like a nice person. |
| Akito |
(Unlike a certain someone...) |
| Toya & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh, Toya! Good wonderhoy☆ |
| Toya |
Hello, Otori. You seem to be carrying quite a bit there... |
| Emu |
I bought some new notebooks for class♪ They had so many with cute animal and snack designs that couldn't help but buy lots and lots of them! |
| Toya |
I see. You must be very excited about using them. |
| Emu |
Yup☆ Are you here to shop too, Toya? You seem like all smiles today. |
| Toya |
All smiles...? |
| Toya |
I was just about to go buy a book by this author I began following recently. But they have so many different series that I'm not sure where to begin. |
| Emu |
Oh, I know what you mean! It's always really fun when you have lots and lots of things to choose from☆ |
| Toya |
Ah, that must be why I was smiling just now. I'm excited by that prospect... |
| Toya |
Thank you, Otori. This is a nice discovery. |
| Emu |
Huh? I don't really understand... But you're super welcome♪ |
| Tsukasa & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Rui is busy so he can't make it. He asked me to come help you move some stage props. |
| Tsukasa |
This is a lot of big boxes, though. What did you guys buy? |
| Emu |
Oh, that's a hundred bottles of soap! They smell really good, too. Isn't that great, Tsukasa? This will make for such a fun performance! |
| Tsukasa |
H-Hold on a minute! Exactly what kind of show are you planning?! |
| Tsukasa & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Tsukasa, the new stage props will be here soon. Can you help me set them up? |
| Tsukasa |
Oh, the ones you and Rui were working on? What exactly are they? |
| Emu |
Well, let's see. There's the chain we're using to hang you up, the big sword for stabbing you, and then there's— |
| Tsukasa |
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I didn't hear anything about being hung up or stabbed! |
| Emu |
Yeah! Rui wanted it to be a surprise. |
| Tsukasa |
That guy! Rui! Rui, where are you?! |
| Tsukasa & Emu (3) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Well, if it isn't Emu! Did you just see a movie? |
| Emu |
Hi, Tsukasa! Hehe. Actually...! |
| Tsukasa |
You seem awfully happy. It must've been a wonderful film... |
| Emu |
Ta-daa♪ This popcorn with caramel sauce is super yummy! |
| Tsukasa |
Oh, you were here to get popcorn... I thought you were here to see a movie. |
| Emu |
I did! It was really fun! I got to cheer lots and lots too! I even cheered with the girl next to me♪ |
| Tsukasa |
Oh, you mean one of those movies where you're allowed to cheer and make noise! By the way, what movie did you see? |
| Emu |
It's called “The Popcorn Knight in the Pressure Cooker World!” The hero's an ear of corn who has to go through all these trials to become a brave popcorn knight! |
| Tsukasa |
P-Popcorn Knight? The Pressure Cooker World...? |
| Tsukasa |
That's a lot to process, but you have me curious... Alright, I might just go see a screening of it! |
| Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
What's that? A taiyaki parfait? |
| Emu |
Did you say taiyaki parfait?! Where?! |
| Nene |
On the sign over there. Huh. It looks like they have taiyaki filled with things like cream and fruit instead of the regular bean paste. |
| Nene |
Huh? Emu? Where'd she go? |
| Emu |
Excuse me! Me and my friend over there will both take a taiyaki parfait! |
| Nene |
Whoa, she's so fast! |
| Emu & Nene (2) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
Do you come to the mall often? |
| Emu |
Yeah! You can find anything you want here! Are you saying you don't? |
| Nene |
I do my shopping online, that way I don't have to go anywhere. Everything comes to me. |
| Emu |
So why'd you come with me today? |
| Nene |
Well, you didn't give me much choice. You basically dragged me along. So can we make this quick? Grab what you came for. |
| Emu & Nene (3) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
You said you wanted to get something, Emu, but what exactly are you looking for? |
| Emu |
I'm looking for these block-shaped chocolates that my big sis showed me. |
| Nene |
Block-shaped? So chocolates that look like toy building blocks? |
| Emu |
Kind of, but they come in all sorts of different flavors. You put them together and make new flavors out of them! |
| Nene |
Hmm... I'm still not getting a clear picture, but that does sound interesting. |
| Emu |
Right?! My big sis and I had lots of fun when we had them last, so I want you to experience that too, Nene♪ |
| Nene |
Then we'll just have to keep looking. |
| Emu |
Yup☆ I'm sure we'll find them! |
| Emu & Nene (4) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Nene, how's your new class? |
| Emu |
I have a lot of friends at Kamiyama High, so I wonder if I know any of your classmates! |
| Nene |
Well, there's Shiraishi... And Shinonome... |
| Emu |
Shinononome...? |
| Nene |
The guy we competed with at that arcade. Remember? The split-personality guy. |
| Emu |
Oh, Akito! He did that monster pose when we took Print Stickers together! |
| Emu |
I didn't know you guys were in the same class! I'm glad you're with a friend! |
| Nene |
F-Friend...? All we did was play some video games together for a little bit... |
| Nene |
(I mean, I don't have a lot in common with either Shinonome or Shiraishi...) |
| Nene |
(I wish I was the type of person who could get along with anyone like Emu...) |
| Emu & Mizuki (1) | |
|---|---|
| Mizuki |
Oh, this dress is super cute! So much lace. And I just love this gathered style! |
| Emu |
Wow! This is so cute! |
| Mizuki |
Hm? |
| Emu |
The skirt is so fluffy! I bet it would really pop out if you twirled in it! |
| Mizuki |
What is that?! How cute! Hm... If that girl is into clothing like that, I bet she's super interesting! |
| Mizuki |
Hey, you there. |
| Emu |
Hwah? |
| Emu & Mizuki (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh, that looks like Mizuki☆ Hellooo! |
| Mizuki |
Hey, Emu! Haha. Looks like you're full of energy today too♪ |
| Mizuki |
I wish there were some way to share some of that energy of yours with Kanade and Ena. |
| Emu |
What?! Did something happen to them? |
| Mizuki |
Oh, no, sorry. That's not what I meant. Their lifestyles aren't exactly what you call normal or healthy is all... |
| Mizuki |
Actually, Emu, where does all your energy come from? |
| Emu |
Hmm... I eat a lot, sleep a lot and... Oh, I smile a lot☆ |
| Emu |
Smiling always fills my heart up with so much warmth and makes me want to try my best at whatever♪ |
| Mizuki |
Smiling, eh?! Yeah, I guess having a positive attitude is pretty important. |
| Mizuki |
Then, I'll put a smile on for an entire day and try to make today a super happy day! |
| Saki, Tsukasa & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Hm? Ah, if it isn't Emu! |
| Emu |
Oh, Tsukasa, Saki! Good wonderhoy☆ |
| Saki |
Good wonderhoy, Emu! Are you out shopping, too? |
| Emu |
Yup! I'm about to go shopping for clothes with my sis☆ |
| Tsukasa |
Wait, I don't see your sister anywhere...? |
| Emu |
Hehe, I was so excited that I got here super early. I'm waiting to meet her. |
| Saki |
I see. But waiting all alone like this has gotta be pretty boring... |
| Saki |
Tsukasa, can we stay and keep her company until her sister comes? |
| Tsukasa |
Yes, I don't mind, and this seems like a nice opportunity to take a break. |
| Emu |
Saki...! Thank you so wonderhoy! |
| Saki |
You're very wonderhoy! Oh, Tsukasa and I found this really cool shop when we were walking around just now... |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh, look! That book has such a cool cover! |
| Tsukasa |
How to Become a More Respectable Leader, huh? |
| Nene |
Clearly a book that won't help you. |
| Tsukasa |
Heh, I suppose you're right. That's because I already possess better leadership skills than I will ever need! |
| Nene |
Where exactly does that positive attitude of yours come from, anyway? |
| Emu |
Hey, Nene. Here's another book with an interesting cover♪ |
| Nene |
And this one isn't even paying attention to the conversation. Why me...? |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Nene (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
The movies you recommend are always so good, Nene. |
| Tsukasa |
I agree. Where do you get your information? |
| Nene |
Nowhere special. Mostly surfing the internet. I'm in the film club too, so I hear about stuff from the other members. |
| Emu |
Film club?! I didn't know you even had such a cool club! |
| Tsukasa |
I got the wrong idea when I first heard about them, too. They don't actually make films themselves. |
| Nene |
Yeah. We mostly recommend movies to each other and watch them together. There are a lot of ghost members, though. |
| Emu |
Ghosts?! You have ghosts in your club?! |
| Nene |
Do I have to respond to that? |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Is there not a single shop with sewing supplies around here? |
| Emu |
Sowing supplies?! Are you starting a garden?! |
| Tsukasa |
No, sewing! As in needlework! |
| Rui |
I didn't realize you knew how to sew, Tsukasa. |
| Tsukasa |
Yeah. I was thinking about making some more fashionable clothes for myself. |
| Tsukasa |
I'm still learning, though. Whoever made yours and Nene's costumes is much more talented than I am. |
| Tsukasa |
Not only is the overall balance great, but they look nice and are easy to move around in! They're quite impressive. |
| Emu |
They sure are! Rui, your friend is amazing! |
| Rui |
Hehe. Well, thank you. I will be sure to pass your compliments along. |
| Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
Interesting. There's an acrobatic performance today. |
| Emu |
You're right! There's a poster for it! Let's go watch! |
| Rui |
Sounds like a wonderful plan. What's this? Hehehe. It says here they're accepting participants without prior registration. |
| Nene |
Are you thinking of performing? But you didn't bring any— |
| Rui |
Hehehe. But of course I did. You never know when or where an opportunity might present itself. |
| Emu |
Hurray! Let's all three of us go perform together, then! |
| Nene |
W-Wait, I never said I wanted to join! Rui, stop smiling and get her to stop! |
| Emu, Nene & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Is this the thing you wanted to see, Rui? The Strangely Fascinating Platypus Exhibit! |
| Rui |
Yes. It may be aimed more at children, but I have a personal fascination with the platypus. |
| Nene |
Because it's a mammal that lays eggs, right? |
| Rui |
Precisely! They have four legs, a tail, very fine body hair, and they feed their newborn young with milk! |
| Rui |
And despite meeting all the requirements to be classified as a mammal, it still lays eggs! |
| Rui |
How could anyone not be fascinated when presented with a creature as mysterious as this?! |
| Emu |
Hwah! I bet you would make a really good zoology teacher. |
| Nene |
I've been saying that for a long time, but he says this is just a hobby. |
| Rui |
Hehe. Come, let us scour this exhibit for every last bit of information we can! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Looks like we're all here. |
| Emu |
Yay! We're going to see a movie together♪ |
| Nene |
I can't believe you had us come just for this... |
| Rui |
It's a musical. It may provide us with some ideas for our own shows. |
| Rui |
It might also be interesting to exchange our opinions about it afterwards, don't you think? |
| Nene |
I don't know, maybe. |
| Emu |
So excited! So excited☆ |
| Nene |
Just remember to keep your voices down, you two. This is a theater. |
| Emu |
Okaaay♪ |
| Tsukasa |
I don't need to be told to behave! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Huh? It's Nene and Rui! Yahohoooy! |
| Nene |
Emu? Tsukasa? What are you two doing here? |
| Tsukasa |
We bumped into each other in front of the movie theater. What brings you two here? |
| Rui |
We were looking for some accessories for the costume Robo-Nene will be wearing during our next show. |
| Emu |
Really?! Oh, can I look too? |
| Rui |
Yes, of course. I'm sure Nene will appreciate your company. |
| Emu |
Yay! I've been wanting to go shopping with you again for so long! Let's find something really good, Nene☆ |
| Nene |
Alright, alright. |
| Rui |
While we're at it, why don't we also look for some accessories for ourselves? Are you free now, Tsukasa? |
| Tsukasa |
Yes, I should be fine. Let's all look together! |
| Emu |
Woohoo! It's time to GO GO SHOPPING! |
| Nene |
Wait, Emu, slow down! You don't have to yank me! I'm right behind you...! |
|
*Hurried Footsteps*
| |
| Rui |
Oh dear... The shop we had in mind is actually the other way. |
| Tsukasa |
Why didn't you say that sooner?! Emu! Nene! The shop's this way! |
| Tsukasa & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
You said you needed help finding a certain song, so I came... But do you know what you're looking for? |
| Emu |
Well, it's classical music that grandpa used for one of his shows a long time ago... |
| Emu |
It started like... Dur-dun～～～♪ Du-dun～～～♪ Du-dun～～～♪ |
| Tsukasa |
I can't really say... Do you know anything else about this song? |
| Emu |
Sure, the rest of it goes like...! Du-du-du-du~do♪ Du-du-du-du~do♪ Du-du-du~do♪ |
| Tsukasa |
Hm?! I've heard that part before! |
| Tsukasa |
Argh, if only Toya were here! He'd probably know already! No, asking him is a last resort... |
| Tsukasa |
Emu, keep going! Let me hear the rest! |
| Emu |
Okay☆ I'll sing my lungs out for you♪ |
| Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
(Oh, the event calendar's been updated. Looks like the stage group is putting on a new short play. Sounds interesting.) |
| Emu |
Oh, there's a play next week! Hehe! This'll be fun, won't it? |
| Nene |
Huh? Why would you assume I'm going? And even if I was, who says we'd go together? |
| Emu |
Gonna see a play♪ See a play♪ Doo doo doo♪ |
| Nene |
She's not even listening... |
| Emu & Nene (2) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
Oh, I think this is the OST from that game I played not too long ago. |
| Emu |
OST? Sounds like an abbreviation for original story time♪ |
| Nene |
It stands for official soundtrack. Think of it like a collection of all the music they record for a play. |
| Emu |
Oh, neat! Do you listen to that sort of music a lot, Nene? |
| Nene |
Sometimes. Listening to an OST always reminds me of the scenes where the music was playing. |
| Emu |
That sounds nice! I wonder if we could make a soundtrack for our shows. Then when people listened to them, they could remember the show and smile all over again. |
| Saki, Airi & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Saki |
Oh! Airi, good morning! |
| Emu |
Wonderhoy! Did you come to buy a CD too? |
| Airi |
Yeah. Today's when the CD for this idol I've been following releases, so I'm here to buy a copy! |
| Saki |
Whoa, I'm here to buy a CD for this band I like too! |
| Saki |
I just happened to run into Emu along the way and we decided to take a look together. |
| Emu |
I listened to some of the songs by the band Saki's talking about, and they were all really cool! Everything was so powerful and wonderhoy☆ |
| Airi |
Hehe. Powerful and wonderhoy, huh? Now you've got me curious. Mind showing me which band? |
| Saki |
Oh, this one! You can sample some of their music over there! |
| Airi |
Thanks. I think I will give them a listen. In return, I'll show you two that idol I was talking about just now. |
| Emu |
Yay! We get to exchange likes! I can't wait to see what you recommend us, Airi! |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hey, how many times do you think they've done that musical with all the cats? Is it really that good? |
| Tsukasa |
How can you even ask that?! It's a worldwide sensation, you know! Everyone should see it at least once! |
| Nene |
Yeah. I think you would really like it, Emu. Watching it makes you feel like you're turning into a cat. |
| Emu |
What?! You two actually agree on something?! Well if you both say so, then I guess I've got to see it! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Ah, here it is! "The Greatest Actors"! |
| Rui |
Let's see. "An album comprised of songs from musicals featuring renowned actors, including Seiichi Amami"... |
| Nene |
Oh, I have that one. They've released like three volumes in the series now, right? |
| Emu |
Wow! They've released three of these?! Which do you recommend, Tsukasa? |
| Tsukasa |
The third one! It includes songs from the show that Mr. Amami was in when he performed abroad for the first time! I cry every time I listen to it! |
| Emu |
Okay! Volume three... Volume three... Huh...? |
| Nene |
I'm not seeing it... |
| Rui |
Me neither... |
| Tsukasa |
What?! Wait, they don't even have the second one here! They should be keeping at least a hundred copies of each in stock! |
| Nene |
To be fair, compared to the other CDs they have here, these are meant for a fairly niche audience... |
| Rui |
No, there's a chance that they're out of them since he just performed here the other day... |
| Tsukasa |
Grr... So be it. Then, Emu, Rui, I shall let you both borrow my CDs! Listen to them as much as you like! |
| Emu |
Cool! I can't wait☆ |
| Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Good Afternoon, everyone♪ Don't miss the show on the stage over there! |
| Emu |
We've got mascots, robots, and lots and lots of smiles☆ |
| Emu |
Anyone looking for a fun-filled show, just follow me☆ |
| Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Wahaha! I just came up with the perfect greeting for everyone who comes to see our show☆ |
| Emu |
Welcome to the super-duper-sparkly-warkly-jiggly-wiggly-huzzah-ful Wonder Stage! |
| Emu |
Hehe! I can't wait to tell Tsukasa and the others! |
| Tsukasa & Emu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh my, how terrible... |
| Tsukasa |
(I don't think Emu could make it any more obvious that she's fishing for help...) |
| Emu |
Oh dear... What a pickle I'm in. I sure wish there was somebody around who might be able to help! Oh, whatever shall I do?! |
| Tsukasa |
All right, all right! Fine! What is it?! |
| Emu |
Hurray! I could really use help moving that giant stage prop over there☆ |
| Tsukasa |
Oh, is that all? I got this! Just wait right there! |
| Tsukasa & Emu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Have a wonderhoy-ful day☆ |
| Tsukasa |
Gaaaaahhhh! |
| Tsukasa |
Wh-Who jumps out of the ground to scare people like that?! How were you hiding down there, anyway? |
| Emu |
I dug a hole and climbed inside to wait, of course. I dug more all over the place, so you won't know when or where I'll pop out with another wonderhoy-ful greeting! |
| Tsukasa |
You did what?! Go fill in those holes right now! |
| Tsukasa & Emu (3) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
I've been meaning to ask for a while now, but why is the mascot here a penguin? |
| Emu |
It's not! It's a phoenix! Right now it's still a cute, round baby, but once it grows up it'll be really cool! |
| Tsukasa |
Oh, does that mean there are plans for it to grow into an adult someday? |
| Emu |
Nope. |
| Tsukasa |
No?! |
| Tsukasa & Emu (4) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Tsukasa, is there anyone you really admire? |
| Tsukasa |
Now that's a great question! There was a musical I once saw as a child— |
| Emu |
I look up to my grandpa! |
| Tsukasa |
Um, what about my story? |
| Emu |
I want to make everyone who comes to have fun leave with a smile, just like how he used to! So let's give it our all to do just that! Okay?! |
| Tsukasa |
Why did you ask if you aren't going to listen?! |
| Tsukasa & Emu (5) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Tsukasa, is there anyone you really respect? For me it's... |
| Tsukasa |
Who else would it be other than your grandpa? |
| Emu |
Wow☆ Yeah, that's right♪ How did you know?! |
| Tsukasa |
You asked me if I there's anyone I really look up to the other time and just yammered on by yourself without giving me a chance to answer. |
| Tsukasa |
To be fair, the person I respect and the person I look up to are the same for me, so I just figured that it would be the same for you too! |
| Emu |
Whoa...! |
| Tsukasa |
What do you mean, Whoa? Anyway, this time it's my turn to talk! |
| Emu |
Yup, okay♪ Hehehe. I want to talk more about my grandpa too when it's my turn☆ |
| Tsukasa & Emu (6) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hey, Tsukasa! I came up with a really cool self-intro like the one you do. Wanna hear it♪ |
| Tsukasa |
You did? I don't see why not...! |
| Emu |
Okay☆ Here it goes! |
| Emu |
She has red, blazing wings☆ She always makes everyone smile! She's Phoenix Emu! |
| Tsukasa |
That isn't really a self-intro... It's sounds like something from a superhero show... |
| Tsukasa |
But it's not a bad start. You got your point across and that's what matters most! |
| Tsukasa |
Now then! Let's polish it up by using some of my genius and magic! |
| Emu |
Really?! You're gonna help me with it?! Yay! Thanks, Tsukasa♪ |
| Tsukasa & Emu (7) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
The world's cultures and societies are all performing on the same global stage these days. Our shows are no different! It's about time we started to go global with them! |
| Emu |
Oh, how do we do that?! |
| Tsukasa |
We can start by writing scripts in English! By doing that... Guess what'll happen? |
| Emu |
Hm? Won't the little ones have trouble understanding what we're saying? |
| Tsukasa |
Th-That's not what was I expecting to hear... But that is something we should avoid. |
| Tsukasa |
Wait, no...! We can still use simple words and phrases! That way, it can also be a learning experience for them, no? |
| Emu |
That's a great idea, Tsukasa! Sounds like a plan♪ |
| Tsukasa |
Huh...? Y-Yes...! A good one too! |
| Tsukasa |
(This is bad. I'll need to brush up on my English before we even think about going global...) |
| Tsukasa & Emu (8) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Found you, Tsukasa! I hope you're looking forward to another wonderhoy day! |
|
*Hurried Footsteps*
| |
| Tsukasa |
Whoa! How many times do I need to tell you to not tackle me like that?! |
| Emu |
Hehe. It's okay now since you've learned how to dodge me, right♪ |
| Tsukasa |
No, it's not okay! However, you do seem to be right about me being able to dodge you... |
| Tsukasa |
Wait, could it be that Rui's outlandish stunts coupled with what I did at that workshop are starting to pay their dividends?! |
| Tsukasa |
Which means I may not actually have to worry about your attempts to tackle me! |
| Tsukasa |
Hah hah hah hah! I take back what I just told you, Emu! Feel free to tackle me all you want! |
| Emu |
*Gasp* That means I need to train to become faster! You're going down, Tsukasa! |
| Tsukasa |
Alright, bring it on! |
| Emu & Nene (1) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
How long have you been a stage hand, Emu? |
| Emu |
Um, probably since I was about 10! |
| Nene |
That's about the same time I started studying musicals. |
| Emu |
Really?! That makes us kinda like twins! How wonderful☆ |
| Nene |
Not really... It's just a coincidence. |
| Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
Emu, did you know there's a mystery novel set here at this amusement park? It's getting a live action TV series, too. |
| Emu |
Really?! That means there's a detective in it, right?! I've always wanted to shout, That's your culprit right there! |
| Rui |
They do seem popular right now. It might be fun to put on a show with a detective in it. |
| Rui |
Hehe. Let's see what Tsukasa and Nene think of the idea. |
| Emu & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Hey, Rui. I just thought of something fun♪ What if we... *psst psst psst*... |
| Rui |
Hm, I see. A performance with water effects, huh? |
| Rui |
Our options will be pretty limited if we do something like that on the Wonder Stage. |
| Rui |
Hehehe. It would take a first-rate director to pull something like that off. All right, I'll give it a try. |
| Emu |
Hurray! That settles it! Our next performance will be set in an ocean world full of water☆ |
| Emu & Rui (3) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Rui! Rui! I just had this dream where the Wonder Stage turned into a flower field☆ |
| Rui |
What a wonderful dream! Maybe it'll even come true! |
| Emu |
Huh? Can you make a flower field for me?! |
| Rui |
Hehehe. Your wish is my command. |
| Rui |
Oh, but it would be nice to have a design to aid me. Would you mind drawing one up? |
| Emu |
Yup! Coming right up♪ |
| Emu |
Hehehe♪ Operation Flower Field Stage is a go☆ |
| Emu & Rui (4) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Future, future, future museum♪ The shiny, sparkly future museum! |
| Rui |
That's quite a fun and happy song you're singing there, Emu. By “future museum”, do you mean the Museum of Emerging Technologies where we performed our show? |
| Emu |
Yup! Remember how we got to see what's inside before we did our show? I had so much fun that I came up with a song for it☆ |
| Rui |
Hehe. I see. |
| Rui |
Speaking of which, you were singing this other happy-sounding song the other day. Did you come up with that one as well? |
| Emu |
Which one? The song about this cute kitty I saw? Or the one about when I saw how Tsukasa's script was covered in notes? |
| Rui |
I don't quite remember, but I'm certainly interested in the songs you just mentioned. Would you mind if heard what they're like? |
| Emu |
Hehe. Sure♪ Lemme sing them for you☆ |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Hm... What do to, what to do... |
| Emu |
Huh? What's wrong, Tsukasa? You look so serious. |
| Rui |
She's right. However, I have a feeling it's something quite bothersome, so perhaps it would be better to discuss our next show instead. |
| Tsukasa |
Well, here's the thing! My sister has been back at school for a while now with no health problems, so I wanted to organize some sort of surprise celebration! |
| Rui |
Oh, I guess we're talking about it then. |
| Tsukasa |
Only because you would ignore me otherwise. Anyway, I'm in need of ideas! |
| Tsukasa |
In return for me always assisting you two, I'm enlisting your cooperation in throwing her a surprise party. |
| Rui |
Hehe. If the goal is to bring a smile to someone's face, I see no reason to refuse. |
| Rui |
Wouldn't you agree, Emu? |
| Emu |
Of course! We'll come up with something so great your sister won't know what hit her♪ |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
One, two, and down... |
| Tsukasa |
Phew, this new speaker weighs a ton. Didn't they have anything more compact? |
| Rui |
When I told the mascots what I needed, this is what was delivered. I'm sure that means it was the best option. |
| Tsukasa |
Speaking of, where are the mascots anyway? |
| Tsukasa |
They're all adults in those things, right? Wouldn't this go quicker if they helped us? |
| Emu |
What are you talking about, Tsukasa? It's too dangerous to ask the mascots to move such large equipment. |
| Rui |
She's right. What if they were to trip? Just imagine the terrible image of one of their heads popping off and rolling away. |
| Tsukasa |
Well, I guess you have a point. We could have at least had the supplier deliver it closer to the stage, though... |
| Emu |
Tsukasa, all you do is complain. |
| Rui |
Honestly. And to think you call yourself a troupe leader. It's embarrassing. |
| Tsukasa |
All right, fine! Let's just finish moving this already! |
| Tsukasa, Emu & Rui (3) | |
|---|---|
| Rui |
I think it may be time to do some maintenance on the path leading to the Wonder Stage. |
| Emu |
We already picked all the weeds that had taken over. What else is there to do? |
| Rui |
Pulling out all those weeds did quite a number on the path. |
| Tsukasa |
Yeah, a lot of them had really stubborn roots. Pulling them out left some big holes. |
| Rui |
And uneven paths aren't exactly children and wheelchair friendly. I'd like to remedy that. |
| Emu |
That makes sense! We should pound it flat, then! |
| Tsukasa |
Don't tell me we're going to have to re-surface the entire thing ourselves! |
| Emu |
Pound♪ Pound♪ Pound♪ |
| Tsukasa |
Are you even listening?! |
| Rui |
Calm down. We should discuss it with the mascots first. |
| Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Rui, why haven't you been doing performances here lately? |
| Rui |
If you wish for me to resume, I would be delighted to. |
| Nene |
Didn't you say the security guards were keeping an eye out for you after doing so many guerrilla gigs? |
| Rui |
Hehe. Actually, escaping from the security guards was simply another part of the performance. |
| Emu |
Wow! Really?! |
| Nene |
Somehow I doubt the security guards were aware of that. I bet you were just using them as pawns to add excitement to your shows. |
| Rui |
You make it sound so disreputable. |
| Rui |
I much prefer to think of it as improvisational theater born of the participating parties' desire to carry out their respective duties. |
| Emu, Nene & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
On my way over here today, I found this really fun-looking parfait shop♪ |
| Nene |
Fun-looking? Not yummy-looking? |
| Emu |
Yeah! They had parfaits on the menu called "Sweet & Sour Youth" and "Starry★Galaxy"☆ |
| Rui |
Hehe. I think I have an idea of what "Sweet & Sour Youth" would be like, but not "Starry★Galaxy". |
| Emu |
Maybe it's really sparkly and comes with a rocket that flies straight out of the cream! |
| Nene |
I'd rather not have a rocket fly out at me, but that does sound like a fun shop... |
| Rui |
Then, why don't we invite Tsukasa and go after we've finished practicing? |
| Emu & Nene |
Okay! |
| Emu, Nene & Rui (3) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
Oh, Emu. You're already here for practice? |
| Emu |
Quack, quack! Quaack! |
| Rui |
So... You're practicing on your own because you woke up early this morning? |
| Emu |
Quack♪ |
| Nene |
Our show's over. Why are you still in character? Also, Rui, how do you know what she's saying...? |
| Rui |
Hehe. We spent a lot of time practicing together since we appeared in the same scenes. That may be why I can tell. |
| Nene |
Even so, that's pretty unbelievable... Also, Emu, don't tell me you're acting like a duck a home or school... |
| Emu |
Quack♪ Oh, um... Yeah. I was in character for so long that it feels normal to me now☆ |
| Emu |
Also, my sis and all of my classmates always said good morning back to me! |
| Nene |
R-Really...? |
| Nene |
(Everyone Emu knows is way too accommodating...) |
| Haruka, Kohane, Emu & Mafuyu (1) | |
|---|---|
| Mafuyu |
My name is Mafuyu Asahina, a second-year. It's nice to meet you. |
| Mafuyu |
I've been asked as the most senior student here to be the leader of this outreach team. I'm looking forward to working with all of you. |
| Haruka & Kohane |
“Nice to meet you too.” |
| Emu |
N-Nice to meet you...! |
| Haruka |
I'm Haruka Kiritani, a first-year. I don't have much acting experience, but I chose this team because I liked the theme so much. “To make everyone smile.” |
| Kohane |
U-Um... I'm Kohane Azusawa, also a first-year. I'm a big fan of PXL and decided to try my hand at performing in a show after Emu invited me. |
| Emu |
I-I'm Emu Otori, first-year...! I'm looking forward to working with all of you...! |
| Haruka |
Otori, you've been on edge all day... |
| Mafuyu |
Is it because a second-year like me is here? Don't worry, we're all here to make this show a success. |
| Emu |
R-Right...! |
| Mafuyu |
The goal of this outreach activity involves making children smile, so we'll be borrowing the Wonder Stage. |
| Kohane |
I've only ever been a spectator. Am I going to be okay up there? |
| Haruka |
I'm sure you will, Kohane. I don't have much acting experience either, so let's just try to do our best, okay? |
|
*Chimes*
| |
| Kohane |
H-Haruka...! You're blinding me with your aura...! |
| Mafuyu |
Wow... So this is what a real idol's smile is like. |
| Kohane |
Thanks, Haruka...! I promise to do my best with everyone. |
| Mafuyu |
Hehe. Sounds like we're all set to go. Let's start by thinking about what kind of show we'll be doing. |
| Haruka & Kohane & Emu |
“Okay!” |
| Haruka, Kohane, Emu & Mafuyu (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
“I'm Sunny Sunny Happy Emu! Here to put smiles on your faces today!” |
| Mafuyu |
“I'm Goodness Smile Mafuyu! The unshakable senior who's always sparkling!” |
| Haruka |
“I'm Stoic Challenger Haruka! You can't become an idol in just a day!” |
| Kohane |
“I'm Makeover Beast Kohane! Behold my indomitable hammie spirit!” |
| Emu |
“And the four of us together are...!!” |
| Haruka & Kohane & Emu & Mafuyu |
“The Happiness Rangers Sunny Sunny☆Wonder!” |
|
*Explosion*
| |
| Mafuyu |
Hehe. I thought that went pretty well. |
| Kohane |
I'm still a little embarrassed about saying that, but I think I'm starting to get used to it... |
| Haruka |
Hehe. I think it was definitely worth coming up with our self-intro lines together. |
| Mafuyu |
I agree. By the way, Otori, you came up with “unshakable” for me. Can you tell me where you got your idea? |
| Emu |
Huh?! Um... |
| Emu |
(I can't say that it's because I want her to smile but haven't been able to figure out how...) |
| Kohane |
Probably because you're our leader and always know how to pull us in the right direction. |
| Kohane |
I think that's what makes you so “unshakable”... |
| Emu |
Y-Yeah, that's it! Good job, Kohane! I'm really impressed! |
| Mafuyu |
I see. Then, I'm glad I'm doing a satisfactory job so far as your leader. |
| Emu |
(Eep! Sh-She really is unshakable...!) |
| Haruka, Kohane, Emu & Mafuyu (3) | |
|---|---|
| Kohane |
Speaking of which, we're all supposed to be heroes, right...? Are we going to fight someone? |
| Haruka |
Oh, that's a good question. Our story won't be very heroic if we don't have a bad guy or two in it. |
| Mafuyu |
Then, why don't I take on two roles? For instance... |
| Mafuyu |
“I'm Darkness Smile Mafuyu. Hello from the depths of despair.” |
| Mafuyu |
How does that sound...? |
| Emu |
Eep...! |
| Haruka |
Th-That felt so real... I couldn't help but get drawn in. |
| Kohane |
Me too...! You're so good at acting, Asahina! |
| Mafuyu |
Hehe. I think I'm a little excited about playing the antagonist since I hardly ever get that chance. |
| Mafuyu |
So, I'll play two roles with Darkness Smile being the one who we have to defeat... |
| Emu |
No, wait...! |
| Emu |
U-Um...! This show's about making everyone smile, which should also include Darkness Smile! |
| Haruka |
In that case, instead of the antagonist... What if she works as a spy under the guise of Goodness Smile? |
| Kohane |
Oh, I like that! She could be our enemy at first, but we find a way to become friends with Darkness Smile. What if we did that? |
| Mafuyu |
Yes, that sounds good. What do the rest of you think? |
| Emu |
Yes, I like that idea too! |
| Kohane |
Oh, I'm glad you like my idea so much, but why don't we take this opportunity to brainstorm a little more? |
| Haruka |
Yes, I'd like that as well. |
| Emu |
That's a great idea! I can't wait to see what you two come up with, Kohane, Haruka! |
| Mafuyu |
Yes, we'll be counting on you both. |
| Kohane |
Thank you very much! We promise to make it a good one! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (1) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Look, look! That's Phenny's pop-up store, run by Phenny and stocked with all things Phenny! |
| Nene |
It seems to be drawing a lot of customers. |
| Rui |
If only our Wonder Stage got that level of attention. |
| Emu |
Why don't we ask Phenny over there to come over to Wonder Stage? |
| Emu |
Then all these people will follow Phenny and discover us! |
| Tsukasa |
You can't be serious, Emu! We can't pull a stunt like that! |
| Rui |
Well, it is the main mascot character of Phoenix Wonderland, so... why not? |
| Tsukasa |
Uh... B-Because... |
| Emu |
It's fine! Phenny is my friend, and it's part of Phoenix Wonderland! |
| Emu |
I'm going to ask Phenny to come visit us! |
| Emu |
Phenny! Hello! |
| Nene |
Hold on! Yikes, she's fast. |
| Nene |
What do we do now? I have a bad feeling about this. |
| Tsukasa |
Urgh... We've got to stop her. Emu! Rui! Wait up! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (2) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Practice♪ Practice♪ It's so much fun♪ Singing and dancing, we do it a ton♪ |
| Tsukasa |
Emu seems pretty happy today. |
| Nene |
Probably because PXL's finally out of the woods now, right? |
| Tsukasa |
Right. I'm glad she's got her smile back too. |
| Emu |
Tsukasa, Nene, Rui! Let's go to the Wonder Stage already♪ |
| Tsukasa |
Alright, but you don't need to yell like that! |
| Nene |
He says as he shouts back... |
| Rui |
I say let them be. Anyways, Emu's waiting for us. Shall we make our way over to our stage? |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (3) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Guys, look♪ The posters for Project Wonder and us being ambassadors are ready♪ |
| Tsukasa |
What? Posters? When did this happen? |
| Rui |
Who knows? It may serve as a replacement for the commercial that was originally slated. |
| Nene |
Yeah, and they managed to get a good picture for our show too... |
| Tsukasa |
Hey, the ambassador poster has a photo from when we did our Little Mermaid show! |
| Tsukasa |
But why didn't they tell us? If I had known beforehand, I would've made sure to do my special modeling poses. |
| Emu |
You have special modeling poses?! |
| Tsukasa |
Well, of course. It's only natural for a star like me to have at least a hundred of those in their repertoire. |
| Nene |
A hundred seems a bit excessive... |
| Rui |
Hehe. You've caught my interest, so why don't you give us your best five? |
| Emu |
Oh, I wanna see too! Please, Tsukasa! |
| Tsukasa |
Ask and you shall receive! Let's start with #5! |
| Nene |
W-Wait, you're gonna do them right now?! Can't you go over there or something so people don't see me with you?! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (4) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Huh? Nene, where's Robo-Nene? I thought you two were together. |
| Nene |
Oh, no. I heard some strange noises coming from her, so I'm having Rui take a look. |
| Tsukasa |
Really? Is Robo-Nene gonna be okay? |
| Rui |
Yes. She should be all better in two or three days. |
| Tsukasa |
Ah, good. |
| Emu |
But we won't get to see her during that time, right? |
| Nene |
It'll be just for a couple of days. |
| Emu |
I know, but... |
| Tsukasa |
Then, why don't we come up with a way to celebrate her getting all better? |
| Rui |
Hehe. That was fast. I haven't even begun working on her yet. |
| Nene |
But Robo-Nene might really enjoy it. |
| Emu |
Yeah! Okay, let's start planning a surprise party for when Robo-Nene gets back♪ |
| Nene |
Hehe. Sure. |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (5) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Wow☆ We have another full house today! |
| Rui |
Our night shows have been all the rage online, but they may be wanting to see both our day and night shows during one visit. |
| Nene |
But aren't we way over capacity?! There's still an hour and a half until the next Wonder Stage show, but there's already a huge line... |
| Tsukasa |
Feeling nervous, Nene? Fear not, for I'll be there to save the day! |
| Nene |
That won't be necessary... |
| Nene |
I just have to do what I practiced... No, more than that. I want to make everyone here smile. |
| Tsukasa |
Indeed! Well said, Nene! |
| Emu |
Yeah♪ Let's give them another really fun show today, Nene☆ |
| Nene |
Alright, I get it. You don't have to shout like that. |
| Rui |
Hehe. The curtains are about to go up for another bright and fantastic Wonderlands×Showtime performance. |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (6) | |
|---|---|
| Tsukasa |
Heh...! Hah...! |
| Nene |
Uh, I think Tsukasa's striking weird poses by himself again... |
| Rui |
It certainly seems that way, but it could also be... |
| Emu |
Hey, Tsukasa! That looks fun☆ Whatcha doing? |
| Tsukasa |
Oh, you're all here. Hello. I was just working on my body language as part of learning how to communicate better with people from abroad. |
| Nene |
Huh? |
| Rui |
Ah, I suspected as much. It looked like you were miming meeting and interacting with someone. |
| Nene |
It looked like you were striking poses from where I was standing... Also, wouldn't it be better to just work on your foreign language skills instead? |
| Tsukasa |
Hah. That I can do during class. However, there is no one here to help me with my body language! |
| Tsukasa |
Which is why I was practicing on my own! |
| Emu |
Oh, that makes so much sense! I wanna practice too♪ |
| Rui |
I'll join as well! Why don't I play someone from abroad? |
| Nene |
Y-You're going along with this, Rui?! Ugh! My head won't be able to keep up if you all turn into knuckleheads! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (7) | |
|---|---|
| Nene |
*Sigh* We were only gone a few days, but it feels like we're coming back from a long trip for some reason. |
| Tsukasa |
Yes, I almost said, “I'm home,” to the staff as I passed by them without really thinking about it. |
| Emu |
Oh, I told everyone that I'm home too♪ |
| Rui |
We spent quite a bit of time surrounded by nature and the ocean, while on a desert island too. It's no wonder that we'd want to be back somewhere with more people. |
| Tsukasa |
Yes, that's true too... |
| Tsukasa |
But we had been doing shows here each day without so much as a second thought. This experience became an excellent reminder of just how blessed we are. |
| Nene |
To be fair, we do actually come here almost every day to practice, rehearse or do shows. |
| Rui |
Right. And now that we're back, we get to go back to putting on shows as we usually do... |
| Emu |
Yup! Oh, Shosuke and everyone else said that we can take a little break since we had to go through so much this time! |
| Nene |
They did? But I kinda want to start working on our next show since we're finally back. |
| Emu |
Oh, Nene, you sound like you're all fired up and ready to go☆ |
| Tsukasa |
Don't forget about me! Now, let's head over to the Wonder Stage and start thinking about our next show! |
| Emu & Nene & Rui |
Yeah! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (8) | |
|---|---|
| Emu |
Oh, we should all go to the Museum of Emerging Technologies together next weekend☆ |
| Nene |
Yeah, why not? We only got to see some of it when we went over for our ambassadorial performance, so it'd be nice to take some time to see all the exhibits. |
| Tsukasa |
Very true! I heard that they even have a spacecraft simulator which definitely caught my attention. |
| Rui |
Yes, it's supposed to be incredibly realistic. I was hoping to take a look at it as well. |
| Emu |
Woohoo! That means we can all become astronauts♪ |
| Tsukasa |
Hehehe... Before becoming a future star of the showbiz world, I may end up trotting across the galaxy as a star of the universe. |
| Nene |
Hang on... You know it doesn't mean we get to fly in a ship, right? |
| Rui |
There's also supposed to be an activity where you can experience being weightless, so that should certainly make it feel like you're in space, no? |
| Emu |
Oh, do you mean the thing that starts all boingy and makes you all floaty? I've seen it on TV before! |
| Nene |
Actually, that does sound like fun. |
| Tsukasa |
Then, it looks like we'll need to take another look at all the attractions the Museum of Emerging Technologies has to offer! |
| Emu |
Yeah! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (9) | |

| Nene |
Tsukasa, you said that you guys practiced doing a lot of different things during that workshop. Is there something that you found particularly interesting? |
| Tsukasa |
Well, they were all very interesting, but having to act out the weather, like rain and wind, was a new one. |
| Emu |
Hey, that sounds fun! I wanna give it a try! |
| Emu |
So, rain would be like... Pokey-pokey-poke-poke... |
| Nene |
H-Hey... H-H-Hehe! S-Stop! That tickles...! |
| Rui |
I believe she's recreating the sensation of being hit by raindrops, yes...? |
| Tsukasa |
A-Ah, I see... No one at the workshop thought to do that... |
| Nene |
Also, does this count as acting? |
| Rui |
It's difficult to discern where that line is, but it's a fun perspective, to say the least. By the way, Tsukasa, how did you tackle this challenge? |
| Emu |
Oh, I wanna see too! |
| Tsukasa |
Heh. Ask and you shall receive. Watch as I become the wind! I call this the "Tempest Tom"! |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (10) | |

*Stomach Rumbling*
| |
| Tsukasa |
Oh... |
| Emu |
Hehe☆ Your tummy's really rumbly, Tsukasa♪ |
| Rui |
That's understandable. Basic training did last longer than usual today. |
| Nene |
Yeah, I'm also getting pretty hungry. |
| Tsukasa |
Then, let's go to the diner! |
| Rui |
As long as salad isn't on the menu. |
| Nene |
Just don't order any. Also, since it's the afternoon, we shouldn't have much trouble finding some seats. |
| Emu |
Hehe. I'm thinking about getting a parfait. I really love the ones they make there♪ |
| Nene |
A parfait, huh...? That sounds nice, but I really should get some real food... |
| Emu |
Oh, that's the best time to go halfsies♪ Can we split it together? Please☆ |
| Nene |
Wah! O-Okay, we can split it. Also, it's really hard to walk like this. |
| Emu |
Hehe. Oh, Tsukasa, Rui, are you two gonna split a parfait? |
| Tsukasa |
No, I'll be having a parfait on top of a full meal. |
| Rui |
I had a feeling. |
| Tsukasa, Emu, Nene & Rui (11) | |

| Tsukasa |
This park was already plenty lively when I auditioned to become a member of its cast... |
| Tsukasa |
But we've been getting even more visitors, and seeing even more smiles. |
| Rui |
Yes. We put on the night shows, our ambassadorial performances... We did quite a lot, didn't we? |
| Nene |
Yeah. It's nice to think that we played a role in the park's growth. |
| Emu |
But I bet this park can get filled up with lots and lots and lots more smiles♪ |
| Emu |
That's why I'm gonna experience a bunch of new things, learn as much as I can and return here as Super Ultra Ultimate Perfect Phoenix Emu! |
| Nene |
W-Wait, as what...? |
| Emu |
Super Ultra Ultimate Perfect Phoenix Emu! |
| Rui |
Ah, in other words, Hyper Mega Absolute Final Form Emu! |
| Nene |
Rewording it isn't helping... |
| Tsukasa |
In simpler terms, you're going to return after you've had a chance to really grow, yes? |
| Emu |
Yup☆ Watch me GROW GROW GROW♪ |
