Sneaky, sneak...

Okay, the coast is clear.

And I've got everything I need. Let's go!

Miku, I'm here!

Emu, welcome!

Are you done with practice?

Yup! I'm free until dinner♪ It felt like the right time to set up our little surprise!

Cool! I hope they all like it☆

Looks like they're just wrapping up with practice!

Thanks, Miku!

Then let's...

Hey, you guys! Happy wonderhoy♪

Hm?

Emu?!

Why are you here?! Aren't you supposed to be at the Seaside School?!

Hehe. Yup, and it's been a ton of fun so far♪ But I had some free time, so I decided to visit.

I told my groupmates that I'd be gone for a little bit, so I'm free until dinner!

Oh, okay.

As long as they know, I guess...

Welcome back, Miku.

And welcome to you too, Emu.

Miku's told us all about how she's been visiting you. Thank you for keeping her company.

Yeah, it's been super fun with her around♪

Oh, and...!

There's something I've been wanting to tell you guys♪

Ah, are you here to tell us some stories?

Yup!!

Oh, right.

I was under the impression that you'd tell us after you actually got home...

But there's so much to talk about already. I couldn't wait until then!

First, let's start with...!

How I'm in the same group as Saki and Honami.

Oh, you mean Tsukasa's sister? And I believe her childhood friend as well?

Wow! That's incredible!

I know, right?! And our number one fan, Kohane, is in our group too! You know, the really really cute girl I've been talking about♪

Oh, the one we always see at our shows?

Yup! Today, we practiced swimming together! After that, we had a class versus class watermelon smashing competition...!

Hehe. It's only your first day and you've already done so much.

Yeah, I get why you couldn't wait until later.

Yes, I understand as well.

And there's lots more still to come♪

Right, Emu?

Yup! And check this out☆

I brought some shells that Miku and I found on the beach!

Oh, cowrie shells, noble scallops... And I believe the translucent one there is a chlamys irregularis.

Wow, I can't believe you were able to find so many different kinds...!

Hehe. I even brought the biggest and prettiest one we found♪

Here it is!

A big conch that barely fits in my hand! I got it just for you, Nene☆

Wow, that is pretty big!

It's been sun-bleached white really nicely too...

Are you sure I can have this?

Yeah! You can hear the ocean if you put it over your ear too♪

Okay. In that case...

Oh, I can hear waves crashing on the beach! It sounds so real...!

Right?! Isn't it awesome?!

I'm guessing you know how that actually works, Rui.

Yes, well...

But...

Just as Emu brought back some stories from the beach for us to hear...

This conch might've saved the sounds of the sea so that it could be brought back for us to hear as well, no?

I see. That's a wonderful way to put it.

Yes, it is.

Oh no, sorry! I need to get back soon!

Thank you for what you've shared with us, Emu.

Yeah, I hope your next two days are just as fun.

Oh, I believe she's just getting started.

Right! Have as much fun as you possibly can! And please look after Saki for me!

I will! Saki and I are gonna have a blast creating fun memories together!

I'll come visit again soon, Emu!

So I'll see you then!

Yup!
