...
As I just mentioned, you becoming freelancers poses many problems for us.
However, we're also not in a position to force you to stay on your current contracts.
We'll consider your proposal...
Let us hope that it works out for both parties in the end.
...!
(We weren't able to reach a resolution, but our discussion still ended up being quite worthwhile.)
(Especially since they agreed to allow me to invite Emu on this endeavor.)
(But whether or not she agrees is ultimately up to her.)
When the time comes for them to say that they wish to leave the Wonder Stage, will you try to follow in their footsteps?
Nope.
Because my dream is to protect Grandpa's amusement park and keep it the way it is.
And make a place where everyone smiles!
(Emu deeply cares about Phoenix Wonderland, from the bottom of her heart...)
(I shouldn't get in the way of her dream...)
(But I...)
(I want the four of us to make our dreams come true together. I don't want to give up on that...)
What am I supposed to do in this situation...?
Huh? Rui...?
...!
Emu...?!
Are you heading back to the Wonder Stage?
We thought you were gonna go straight home after you took care of that thing you were talking about. I just said bye to the others after finishing up practice and...
What...?
(I'm at Phoenix Wonderland...?
But why? I thought I was on my way home...)
(This isn't good...
I can't seem to get the conversation I had with her brothers out of my mind.)
Rui...?
Oh, um...
I've finished doing that thing I mentioned, but I got the feeling I'd left something here.
Oh, okay...
Want me to help you look?
No, thank you. I should be fine.
Okay...
Emu, there's something I'd like to ask you...
Sure, what's up?
...
Would it be possible for us to talk tomorrow...?
Tomorrow? Not now...?
Yes.
This matter also involves Tsukasa and Nene.
So, I'd like to discuss it when we're all present.
Okay, got it!
...
I'll let you know once I have a better idea of when we can all meet. For now, see you tomorrow.
See you then♪
My hope is that I'll get the same sort of positive response tomorrow...
(I can't bring myself to give up being with them.)
(I've finally found the best of friends in Tsukasa, Nene and Emu.)
(So, I'm going to spend every second I have left to think of a way for us to stay together while pursuing our dreams.)
