Good morning!!!
I'm looking forward to another great practice!!!
Hehe. You sound as motivated as ever, Emu.
That's because I am! I mean, we get to start rehearsing as a group today☆
Yeah, a really important part of the story too. The opening scene is where the birds whisper and gossip about the phoenix.
We need to do our best since it's going to be our job to immerse the audience into the story.
Quack!
Oh, the way you're waddling while stretching out your neck. You're like a real duck!
Apparently she's been staying in character every day wherever she goes.
What?! Every day?!
Quaack!
Quack, quaaack!
Of course. Please have a nice day.
Quack, quack!
Whoa, what you just did with your arms!
They totally looked like real wings!
You've improved a lot since the last time we spoke.
Quack☆ Quack, quack, quack♪
Quaack...
Quack!
Quack, quaack!
Quack! Quack, quack?
Quack, quaack♪
Quack! Quack! Quack!
*Gasp*
It's the nice lady from the Wonder Stage! And she's acting like a duck!
Whoa, you're right! Hey, can we play too?
Quack! Quaack, quack☆
Haha! She just quacked, “Yes!”
Cool! Quack! Quack!
I see... You spent as much time as you could in character in order to become as real a duck as possible.
That explains why the director was so happy with your portrayal...!
Wait, really?
Yeah. He was really impressed by how you've been working despite how minor your role is.
But you just kept at it until today, Emu. Not many people can commit the way you have.
Where you lack in experience and specialized knowledge, I believe your work ethic more than makes up for that.
*Gasp*
Thank you guys so much!
Hehe. I have a feeling that you have a lot of other tricks up your sleeve, Otori.
Yes, she does.
Huh? But I only have candy on me right now...
Hehe. We're talking about your strengths.
When you decide to practice something a certain way, you usually never stray away from it.
Not only that, but you also immediately chose to observe how ducks act and behave instead of doubting your own knowledge or why you were given this role.
Yeah, since being the Featherbrained Duck doesn't mean you can just go on stage and goof off.
So true. On top of that, it's hard not to sound “human” when you're trying to be funny.
Oh, then...
Emu, what if the director believed that you would do well as the Featherbrained Duck?
You think so...?!
(I was just trying my best since Tsukasa and Nene were also practicing really, really hard. But...)
Am I really practicing my character right?
Is our show gonna be okay?
Yeah, I wouldn't worry!
Let's do our best during practice today so that our show becomes a really fun one! That includes you as well, Kamishiro!
Okay☆
Okay.
