1

Nene

Listen

The first day of our Christmas show went pretty well.
2

Rui

Listen

Yes, but we can't get complacent.
Especially with the Phoenix Stage troupe's lead.
3

Tsukasa

Listen

Alright! Let's keep this momentum and leave them in the dust!
4

Emu

Listen

And let's make sure lots and lots of people smile after seeing our show☆
5

Tsukasa

Listen

That's the plan! And I've got an idea that can help us achieve that!
6

Nene

Listen

A plan?
7

Tsukasa

Listen

Nene, you overcame your fears and learned to unleash your true potential.
8

Tsukasa

Listen

Now, it's time for the rest of us to break out of our shells and spread our wings!
9

Nene

Listen

Huh...?
10

Nene

Listen

(I knew it'd be something dumb...)
11

Emu

Listen

Oh, I know! If we want to break out of our shells, we can start by becoming eggs!
12

Tsukasa

Listen

Hey, don't hijack the conversation just to have it get derailed even more!
13

Rui

Listen

Hehehe. A play where we all act like we've turned into eggs could be very interesting.
14

Tsukasa

Listen

Argh! Rui, don't side with her!
15

Tsukasa

Listen

Was my plan hatched too prematurely? What if the things that come out of it are more chaotic versions of them...?
16

Nene

Listen

You made it sound easy, Tsukasa, but...
How do you suggest we actually do that?
17

Tsukasa

Listen

That's... Uh, something for all of us to think about!
18

Rui

Listen

Hmm... It would need to have an immediate effect for our Christmas show to benefit from it...
19

Rui

Listen

Which means... We should try overcoming something that's been challenging to us?
20

Rui

Listen

It would build our confidence and make us more resilient. It may even enable us to perform at our best under any circumstances.
21

Nene

Listen

(Yikes. That look in Rui's eyes... He's definitely plotting something weird. We might be better off practicing as usual.)
22

Nene

Listen

But overcoming personal difficulties is no easy matter. I don't think we have the time for this now, so let's just keep doing things the way we have been for now...
23

Tsukasa

Listen

Good thinking, Rui! Then improving the quality of our shows will surely allow us to grow as actors!
24

Emu

Listen

Oh, yeah! I like your idea too! The better we all get, the more smiles we can bring♪
25

Nene

Listen

Huh? Guys, you can't be serious...!
26

Rui

Listen

Hehehe. Since most of us are for it, I'll go and get what we'll need. Wait here.
27

Nene

Listen

(I tried stopping him... No one can blame me for what happens now.)
28

Rui

Listen

Oof! There...
Sorry for the wait.
29

Tsukasa

Listen

That's a fairly hefty box...
What's in it?
30

Rui

Listen

A surprise.
Why don't you see for yourself?
31

Tsukasa

Listen

Okay. Let's get it open... A-Aaargh!!
32

Nene

Listen

Oh, gross. Centipedes, spiders...
Are these all just toy bugs...?

33

Rui

Listen

That's right.
I wanted to use them for the Halloween show.
34

Rui

Listen

We went with a zombie theme in the end, so I didn't get any use of them... Hehe. Until now...
35

Tsukasa

Listen

They didn't need to see daylight, ever! Is this what you meant by overcoming challenges?!
36

Nene

Listen

Oh, right. You're scared of bugs, huh?
37

Rui

Listen

Yes, and he's particularly afraid of ones with many legs.
38

Tsukasa

Listen

...
39

Rui

Listen

Oh? Where are you going, Tsukasa? Don't you want to break out of your shell and unlock your true potential?
40

Rui

Listen

We have to become masters of our own fears if we are to stage the most wonderful of shows!
41

Nene

Listen

(Wow, Rui's sadistically enjoying Tsukasa's misery...)
42

Rui

Listen

Let's cure your phobia, Tsukasa!
It's time for... A bug shower!

Robo-Nene

Nene, are you okay?

Yes. Shield me from the bugs!

What?! No fair, Nene!
Protect me too...!

Get away from me, you idiot!
You're the target here!

51

Rui

Listen

I only brought something for Tsukasa this time, and I wouldn't want you to get bored, Emu. Would you mind helping me cure his phobia?
52

Emu

Listen

Sure, I'm on it! Ready... Aim... Fire!
It's raining creepy crawlies, Tsukasa!
53

Tsukasa & Nene

Nooooo!!

Huff... Huff... I can't take it... Anymore...
55

Nene

Listen

You guys, we're high schoolers...
Why are we playing dumb kiddie games like this?

56

Emu

Listen

Hehehe! That was really fun!
57

Tsukasa

Listen

Maybe for you! It was hellish for me!
58

Rui

Listen

I see an opening. Take that!
59

Tsukasa

Listen

Gyaaah! Not another centipede!
60

Rui

Listen

Hehe, it looks like you weren't able to overcome your fears this time. We'll have to think of another way to help you break out of your shell.
61

Emu

Listen

I know! Let's put wings on these and fly them at Tsukasa like they're really alive!
62

Tsukasa

Listen

NO!
Stop making my trauma worse!
63

Nene

Listen

(Sigh... These guys are so dumb...)
64

Nene

Listen

(But maybe the crazy stuff they get up to is a little fun sometimes...)
