Yahohoy☆
Sorry for the wait, everyone!
Starting today, I'm back to rehearsing like before!
That's good. I was glad to hear that your Sports Festival went well too.
I'm sure your ideas turned into a great show that made everyone smile, no?
Of course!
Everyone was saying how much fun it was!
That's great...!
Well, it's a show, right? That means success was your only option as a performer!
Okay, we get it... But I'm happy for you, Emu. Your hard work really paid off in the end.
Hey, everyone...!
I'm sorry for being so late!
I'll get ready right away!
H-Hey! Emu, wait...!
She's always been a bundle of energy, but she hasn't been herself lately...
It'd be perfectly reasonable for her to skip practice on days when she has to prepare the Sports Festival...
That may be so, but both are fun things that she doesn't want to let go of...
Also, something tells me that taking it easy is not a concept she can understand.
Okay, I'm ready!
Which part were you at?
We were just about to get started with a table read. And... Good, you have your script ready. Then let's get started.
Yeah!
D-Did I hear that right?
You're all self-proclaimed heroes?!
What's going on?!
I can't tell who the actual hero is anymore!
(Uh oh... She forgot to say,
But something tells me that could be you?)
(And that other line was supposed to be,
I can't tell who the real hero is...)
(But it doesn't change things all that much.
We'll just have to roll with it...)
Listen! I'm the 'real' hero, and I can prove it!
Are you ready to go home?
Yeah.
Um, did Emu seem kind of out of it today...?
Well, she's always sort of been like that...
But she doesn't usually forget or skip her lines like that.
Yeah. And it's not like she wanted to put her own spin on them either...
She's never done that on the fly and always asks in advance.
Yeah, she slipped up because she couldn't focus...
Between preparing for the Sports Festival and our rehearsals...
I suppose it means that even Emu can get worn out sometimes.
Hm... Speaking of which... Where is she?
Hey, Emu?! Where are you?!
We're all about to go home!
She was tidying up the stage props just a moment ago... Oh!
T-There...!
That has to be her feet...!
What?! Did she faint...?!
Hey, Emu? Are you okay?!
Hm... Hold on...
Mhm... Zzzz...
S-She's asleep?!
Ugh... You had me worried there...
She must have been more tired than she let on.
Tsukasa, would you be okay with us changing our rehearsal schedule for the weekend show...?
Right. We shouldn't start with the acrobatic scenes tomorrow if Emu's like this...
And her school's Sports Festival is in... Three days.
Yes. If she were to get hurt during rehearsal, she wouldn't be able to participate in that either.
...
Ngh... Hm? Huh?
Hey, you woke up.
Wah! Sorry, did I fall asleep?!
Yeah. You were sleeping like a baby, so we didn't want to wake you.
Anyways, we were talking about our schedule for tomorrow. The new plan is to carry out maintenance on the stage props...!
Wait, why? What happened to the stunt scenes?
Your Sports Festival is in three days.
Our show is this weekend.
You should channel all of your energy into the Sports Festival for now! As for our show... We can revise the stunt scenes later!
B-But...!
Emu, you want to give your best performance at the Sports Festival, yes?
Which is why you should focus on that. Not being able to do your best because of exhaustion would be terrible.
You guys...
Okay, pinky promise! I'll make it so eeeveryone at the Sports Festival smiles!
Alright, then let's get started...
Oh, just one thing!
I wanted to thank you all properly!
For being so considerate towards me! I had an amazing time during the Sports Festival thanks to your kindness and support!
Everyone, thank you sooo much!
Don't worry about it. That's what friends do for each other.
But you better be ready to practice now!
We have an audience to entertain this weekend!
Yeah! Let's do this!
Won...won... Wonderhoy♪
