Nene

Listen

The next show after Halloween?
2

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, exactly! Since Halloween is already over, we need to start thinking about what our next show is going to be.
3

Nene

Listen

I thought Rui was already planning for that, though?
4

Rui

Listen

Some parts haven't been finalized yet, but the general flow is mostly settled. I would love to hear your opinions on what I currently have.
5

Emu

Listen

The next show is gonna be about outer space, right?! Where we do the floaty-float and whirly-whirl thing?!
6

Nene

Listen

Only you and Rui can understand that...
7

Rui

Listen

Hehe, well, to be a bit more specific...
8

Rui

Listen

We're going to have Tsukasa become an ephemeral star for us in an outer space setting.
9

Tsukasa

Listen

Hey... I don't like this feeling I'm getting. What do you mean, ephemeral star? Am I going to be put into a state of suspended animation or something?
10

Rui

Listen

No, you're going to literally become a star in the sky.
11

Tsukasa

Listen

That doesn't make any more sense than your last explanation! Also, I'm now more worried than before!
12

Nene

Listen

There they go again.
13

Emu

Listen

They're back to their normal selves again!
14

Rui

Listen

Don't worry, Tsukasa. I've taken all the proper safety measures. So rest assured and become the shining star you've always wanted to be.
15

Tsukasa

Listen

That's not the kind of star I wanted to be!
16

Nene

Listen

Heh...what a pair of idiots.
17

Nene

Listen

(But I'm really happy for Rui.)
18

Nene

Listen

(Maybe he can finally move on from his past now.)

Rui

Listen

Ahh, what a productive practice session that was. We turned Tsukasa into a true star today.
20

Nene

Listen

Yes... Literally, just as you said you would.
21

Rui

Listen

However, it would be a terrible waste for him to be flung so high that the audience can't even see him anymore, so I'll still need to polish up that part a bit more.
22

Rui

Listen

By the way. I've come up with a new performance for your big scene as well.
23

Rui

Listen

I should be finished with the final touches by today, so can we talk a bit more about that tomorrow?
24

Nene

Listen

Yeah.

25

Nene

Listen

Huh, a message? From Emu?
26

Nene

Listen

<Let's go to Wonder Stage together after school tomorrow♪>?
27

Nene

Listen

(We're just going for practice together, right? Fine by me.)
28

Nene

Listen

Hm? There's another message...
<I'll go fetch you, so wait for me in the classroom!>?
29

Rui

Listen

That reminds me. Emu has been coming over to our school to visit us quite often lately, hasn't she?
30

Nene

Listen

She intends to trespass again?!
31

Nene

Listen

<Do NOT come inside. Wait at the school gate!>
This should stop her.
32

Rui

Listen

Hehe... You're not telling her to not come at all, hm?
33

Nene

Listen

Huh? It's not like she'd listen even if I told her that, anyway.
34

Rui

Listen

Is that really all?
35

Nene

Listen

What are you trying to say?
36

Rui

Listen

After all that's said and done, I can tell you seem to be having a lot of fun yourself recently too.
37

Rui

Listen

Maybe because you've found a good friend in Emu?
38

Nene

Listen

Friend? Feels more like I'm just being led around by her into all sorts of troublesome situations...
39

Rui

Listen

You say that, but you're always replying to her messages properly, as troublesome as you claim them to be.
40

Rui

Listen

According to my observations, Emu's messages are the only ones you diligently try to reply to.
41

Nene

Listen

You make it sound as if Emu's my only friend or something...
42

Nene

Listen

I'll have you know that I have plenty of friends that I can talk to.
43

Rui

Listen

You mean friends in the video games you play, right?
44

Nene

Listen

And what's wrong with that?
45

Rui

Listen

I'm not saying it's wrong to make friends through games.
46

Rui

Listen

But for friends like that, you only talk to them about game items and how to maximize grinding efficiency, right?
47

Nene

Listen

Ugh... It doesn't matter what we talking about. The point is we do talk!

48

Nene

Listen

Oh... Another message from Emu.
49

Nene

Listen

What?
<Let's have lunch together too!>?!
50

Nene

Listen

She intends to break into school at lunch hour?!
51

Nene

Listen

I-I'd better reply her right now!
52

Nene

Listen

<Don't you have school friends you can have lunch with? Eat with them!> There.

53

Nene

Listen

An instant reply? Oh, does she ever listen?! Look here...
54

Rui

Listen

Hehe, you're definitely having fun any way you slice it.
