Thanks for waiting, Nene.
You're late. How did it take you this long to get to the gate? Your legs really are useless.
H-Hey, it's not my fault! The teacher asked me to help out with something! Also, my legs are not useless!!
Okay, okay...
Are you worried about Emu?
Why are you asking? You already know the answer.
Ah, excuse me.
I see. That's why you've been so prickly today. I apologize for making you wait like that...
Don't turn all humble on me like that. It feels weird...
W-What...?!
How about you show some modesty for a change?! Also, do you have to take jabs at me every time we talk?
Ugh, just be quiet!
I... I just don't know what we can do...!
That is the issue. Especially as long as Emu doesn't tell us what's going on...
But forcing it out of her would be difficult as well, so...
She usually just says whatever's on her mind...
Well, it may seem like she is, but...
Because we were all so busy preparing the show.
Grandpa told me that you need a diverse troupe for a good show, and at least one of them has to be committed to helping all the others' talents shine.
The bigger the problem, the less likely she is to talk...
This may be a case of just that...
So it's likely that she won't tell us anytime soon.
I suppose we should try to come up with some better ideas in the meantime...
...
Hey, everyone!
Sorry for being late!
I'm all ready to go☆
Let's head over to SEKAI!
Oh, right.
I need to get changed...
*Sigh*...
Nene, is something the matter?
Yeah...
But...
Neneee!
Wah! Wh-What the?!
Nene, I wanna get to know you better!
Know me? Like how?
You were a member of a theater troupe before, right? What kinds of shows did you guys do? Which ones did you like? And...
S-Slow down! Don't ask me so many questions at once or I won't know where to start...
Why don't we take a break now?
That way you'll have time to chat.
You might even enjoy opening up a bit and sharing your memories with a friend.
Sigh...
Fine, but only until the break's over.
Yay!
(Talking to Emu that time helped me figure some things out, so I should return that favor.)
(She pries into everyone else's business, but clams up when it comes to her own...)
(At the same time, if it really is something big, she might not be able to tell us easily...)
(No, I'd want to know even more if that's the case...)
*Sigh*...
I want to help Emu...
If something's bothering her, I want to be there for her.
But I don't really know how to tell her that...
Beep. Understood.
Huh?
I will deliver this message to Emu.
Wait, what?!
No... Stop!! Where are you going?!
I will deliver this message to Emu.
What message?! Did Rui install something that lets you do that?! You don't need to do anything like that!
Ugh... Time to go after it!
(I'm really making everyone worry...)
(I want to tell everyone, but...)
(I want everyone to be able to focus on being able to perform the shows they love so much...)
Huh? Is that Robo-Nene coming this way...?
*Huff*... *Huff*... Robo-Nene, wait...!
No, please! Stop...!!
Robo-Nene!!!! Stooop!!!!
Beep. Stopping.
F-Finally...! Wait...!
Hm? Why are you in such a hurry, Robo-Nene?
R-Right in front of Emu...!!
Replaying message.
<I want to help Emu...>
<If something's bothering her, I want to be there for her.>
Hm?
Umm...
That's the truth...
I get that something might be keeping you from telling us...
But when you feel like talking, please tell us everything...
Nene...
That's all...!
...
(Yeah... I want to tell them...)
(Nene and the others will listen. They might help me come up with some ideas...)
(But...)
