Nene

Listen

Emu really just left.
I wonder if she's okay...
2

Tsukasa

Listen

With her gone, we can't actually do any talking.
3

Rui

Listen

Yes. I suppose we should call it a day as well then...
4

Rui

Listen

Oh, excuse me. I think I left something at the Wonder Stage...
5

Rui

Listen

Nene, would you mind going ahead without me?
6

Nene

Listen

Uh, sure...? I'll be fine by myself.
Bye.

Rui

Listen

Yes, I'll see you tomorrow.

Now...

9

Mascot

Listen

Hm...?
10

Rui

Listen

Ah, Mr. Mascot.
What a coincidence.
11

Mascot

Listen

Why are you still here?
I thought that you had all left by now.
12

Rui

Listen

I forgot something here is all.
Would you mind helping me?
13

Mascot

Listen

If I may, what is it that you've forgotten?
14

Rui

Listen

Oh? I was under the impression that you were surveilling me.
15

Mascot

Listen

Unfortunately, here I am a mascot and not a person.
16

Rui

Listen

Indeed.
17

Rui

Listen

Nonetheless, there's no time to waste so I'll get right to it.
18

Rui

Listen

Do you know why Emu and her brothers were having such a fierce argument?
19

Rui

Listen

What is she hiding from us?
Why won't she tell us anything?
20

Mascot

Listen

Ah, so you did lose quite a few things...
21

Rui

Listen

I did. However, they're very valuable to me, so I would very much like to find them... How about it?
22

Mascot

Listen

I cannot say.
23

Rui

Listen

Ah, but were you not there with her?
You are her bodyguard after all...
24

Mascot

Listen

...
25

Rui

Listen

Under normal circumstances, you wouldn't sit idly by if someone raised their voices at her in that manner.
26

Mascot

Listen

...
27

Rui

Listen

Then how about this?
Allow me to tell a little story...
28

Mascot

Listen

...?
29

Rui

Listen

In truth, I am incredibly thankful for Emu.
30

Rui

Listen

Her determination to save the Wonder Stage and her will to not give up allowed me to meet the wonderful people I am with now.
31

Rui

Listen

And we're able to put on shows that deliver smiles to countless people.
32

Mascot

Listen

...
33

Rui

Listen

I... No, we, as Wonderlands×Showtime, want to keep putting on the best shows possible, together.
34

Rui

Listen

Which is why if anything that would rob us of that opportunity were to arise, I will refuse to simply let it happen.
35

Rui

Listen

And I will not let my friends be openly insulted either. Even if it's Emu's family we're dealing with.
36

Mascot

Listen

...
37

Rui

Listen

So I'll ask once more.
What is going on with Emu?
38

Mascot

Listen

I cannot say...
39

Mascot

Listen

I am in no position to speak on Ms. Emu's behalf if she wishes to not speak about something herself.
40

Rui

Listen

I see...
41

Rui

Listen

Well, that may be so...
And I apologize for prying.
42

Rui

Listen

Alas, as much information as I can obtain will also suffice. Would you at least be able to tell me something that does not necessarily go against what Emu believes?
43

Mascot

Listen

...
44

Rui

Listen

Then that is all for me...
45

Mascot

Listen

Wait...
46

Rui

Listen

...
47

Mascot

Listen

I... We, the mascots, are under the employ of Ms. Emu's father...
48

Mascot

Listen

So we are not in the position to support her ideas as such...
49

Rui

Listen

I see... You risk termination by biting the hand that feeds you, yes?
50

Mascot

Listen

Indeed. However, we also cannot leave her side at a time like this.
51

Mascot

Listen

We can at least say that we appreciate you supporting her fight against her brothers...
52

Rui

Listen

Oh, of course. She's a valued friend and troupe member.
53

Mascot

Listen

...
54

Mascot

Listen

At the moment, I have no information to give you...
55

Mascot

Listen

But if the time comes when Emu does decide to open up to you...
56

Mascot

Listen

Then we will also vow to support her in her quest... Now, if you'll excuse me...

57

Rui

Listen

I see... So we'll need to talk to Emu first before anything else can happen?
58

Rui

Listen

(But based on the interaction I just had, this is hardly going to be easy...)
59

Rui

Listen

I'll have to discuss this with Tsukasa and Nene once more as well...
