(See things from other people's perspectives...)
(Then, my portrayal of Ushiwakamaru will become a lot better.)
(But I don't have a lot of time until the day our acting skills are put to the test. Which means I can't do what Mr. Kijima did...)
(Then...)
(I just have to come up with a way to make it so everyone understands what my character is feeling!)
<Emu!>
Huh?
That sounded like...
<Over here, Emu!>
Oh, Len!
What brings you here?
<Well, I've become really good at doing those squats you showed us the other day, so I was wondering if we could do some together...>
<Wait, huh...?>
<Is there something on your mind right now?>
Huh? How did you know?
<Because the space between your eyebrows is all squished and wrinkly.>
<Is something bothering you?
I wanna help if I can!>
Oh...
Hehehe. Thanks, Len!
Then, if you don't mind listening for a bit...!
Today, Mr. Kijima told me that...
<...seeing things from other people's perspectives, huh?>
Yeah, and I was trying to come up with a way to learn how to do that in a short amount of time...
<I see...>
<In that case, the answer's easy...!>
Huh?
<Lemme help you!>
<I'll watch you practice your lines as much as need me to. Dozens or hundreds of times if necessary. And I'll tell you what I think!>
Len...
<And I'm probably not alone.
I bet KAITO, Miku, Tsukasa and everyone else will wanna help too...>
<No, not just them.
I have a feeling that a lot of other people will also want to help.>
<Why don't you try asking everyone around you to see if they'll watch you practice for just a bit and hear what they have to say...?>
<That should at least be a little similar to what Mr. Kijima did!>
Oh...
(Hehe. He's right...)
(I have all these people around me who I can ask for help!)
Yeah...!
If I ask everyone I know for their help, then my acting should get a super duper amazingly awesome boost of power!
So, I'm gonna start right now!
By asking you first, Len!
Could you watch me practice for a little bit?
<Yeah, sure!>
Anyway, we'll be going now.
Okay, good luck.
Oh, do you think you'll be home in time for dinn—
Shooosuuuke!
Whoa, why are you shouting so early in the morning? What is it you want today?
So, I wanna ask you guys for a favor!
But you don't have to help me right this second. Whenever you're free is fine...
A favor?
We don't want to be late, so please make it quick.
Thanks!
So, the thing is...
“So, shall we go stir things up in this world a little?”
...and scene!
How'd I do?
I knew you'd give us a good performance!
I really don't know much about acting, but you just want us to say what we felt, right...?
Yeah, please tell me!
Then...
<So, I thought it'd be better if you jumped around a lot more to really show how excited Ushiwakamaru is!>
<He has a lot of fun while fighting against Benkei, right? That's why I think he'd move around with a lot more energy!>
<Hmm... But wouldn't that sort of take away from Ushiwakamaru's cool and collected demeanor?>
I agree.
During this scene, Ushiwakamaru's probably feeling a sense of fun, but not just that...
...
Wait, that boy's looking our way!
Sorry, everyone, but you're all going to have to hide for the time being!
Hello there. Is something wrong?
Where are your mommy and daddy? Are they not here with you?
They're over there.
I came to get my ball...
Your ball?
Oh, this?!
Sorry for not noticing sooner.
We didn't realize that it'd come our way.
No, that's okay.
Anyway, what were you guys doing just now?
I saw some of you jumping around while shouting “Hiyah!” and stuff...
We're practicing for a play!
It's about this amazing person who lived a really long time ago called Ushiwakamaru!
A play...?
Oh, do you want to see it...?!
Yeah, kinda...
Really?!
Oh, in that case...!
Wanna watch us rehearse our play?!
Wait, you mean it?
Yeah! How about it, you guys...?
I know we don't have all the people we need, but let's try to figure something out...
Hehe. I don't mind.
Plus, it's also two birds with one stone in terms of hearing from as many different people as you can.
Good point! Then, it's time for Wonderlands×Showtime to put on a surprise performance!
Before we do, we might want to ask his parents first. We probably shouldn't just suddenly start performing for him without their permission...
Actually, we should ask to see if they'd also like to watch. We are trying to hear from as many people as we can, after all.
Okay!
(Okay, my phone has everything on video...!)
(Now I need to see how I looked through everyone else's eyes as I performed today!)
“Hup.”
(The final scene where I fight Benkei...)
(I'm supposed to show just how much fun Ushiwakamaru's having. He's so excited by how beautiful the moon is on this night, and...)
(As Benkei tries to fight him, he starts to really enjoy teasing his opponent.)
(I have to make sure I do that mischievous side of Ushiwakamaru justice...)
(Huh...?
But everyone's watching me so seriously...)
(No, this can't be right...)
(Everyone's supposed to be giggling and snickering as they watch...)
(Oh, I know...!
What if I did something more...?)
