Card Story: [Private Emu's Investigating!] Emu Otori

Part 1

The day before the U.S. trip
Emu's Room
1
Emu
America, America, here we come!
2
Emu
I've got my passport, enough clothes and...
3
Emu
Oh yeah...
I need to bring a new notebook for ideas!
4
Emu
(I wonder what Mr. Riley's park's gonna be like...)
5
Emu
(All of his characters are super famous, so I bet there's gonna be lots of really exciting shows and heart-pounding attractions.)
6
Keisuke
However, we'll have a steep hill to climb if we were to try and implement all these ideas...
7
Keisuke
You've definitely come up with some excellent ideas, and they'll surely help us attract more visitors by putting them into practice...
8
Shosuke
But reality isn't so kind.
We don't have the budget or manpower to pull this off.
9
Emu
R-Right...!
Sorry, I didn't really think about any of that...
10
Shosuke
Partnering with Riley Entertainment will mean we'll need a bigger cast. Should we start putting out “help wanted” ads?
11
Keisuke
No, we'll need to be more tactful about this. Any new cast members we hire will need to be trained, which is a burden the veteran cast members will have to carry.
12
Keisuke
We may need to rethink how we train new hires. Can you try discussing this with HR, Shosuke...?
13
Emu
(I still don't understand Phoenix Wonderland the way Keisuke and Shosuke do...)
14
Emu
(But...)
15
Emu
But I just couldn't give up!
16
Emu
I want Phoenix Wonderland to be “a place that makes everyone smile” forever and ever!
17
Emu
I don't care if you replace all the rides and get rid of the stages...
18
Emu
I just don't want it to stop being a place where everyone can smile, laugh and be happy!
19
Emu
I'm sure that as long as we try to do that, we'll get more and more guests to come and visit... Please...!
20
Emu
(Keisuke, Shosuke and Dad were willing to hear me out.)
21
Emu
(So now it's my turn to learn more about how they see things and run the park.)
22
Emu
Okay!
23
Hinata's Voice
Emu, can I come in?
24
Emu
Yup♪ Come on in!
25
Hinata
Oh, you're still packing for tomorrow.
Do you have everything you need?
26
Emu
Yup! I'm all set! Shosuke even said, “Worst case scenario, you'll be fine as long as you have your passport.”
27
Hinata
Shosuke...
28
Hinata
Have you packed your clothes already? I recommend taking at least one dress along since some places over there have dress codes.
29
Emu
That's a great idea, Sis!
Let's pick one out together♪
30
Hinata
Sure. Can you show me your closet?
31
Hinata
Alright, you should be all set!
32
Emu
Yay! Thanks, Sis!
33
Hinata
That just leaves your daypack.
Have you packed a handkerchief and tissues?
34
Emu
Yup! I'm thinking about taking this one along! Ta-daa!
35
Hinata
Oh, that's a limited-edition Phenny pattern. Didn't that come out a really long time ago?
36
Emu
Hehe. I've been saving it for a special occasion, so I decided to take it to see the United States☆
37
Hinata
Hehe. Be sure not to lose it over there.
38
Hinata
But you really get to go to America. I'd be going with you if it weren't for my classes.
39
Hinata
C'est la vie.
Please bring a nice souvenir for me, Emu.
40
Emu
Okay! Wait, I need to make sure that I don't forget my idea notebook!
41
Hinata
Oh, you mean this...?
What happened to that really cute one you always use?
42
Emu
This is to help me study!
43
Hinata
Help you study?
44
Emu
I wanna ask Mr. Riley all about his company since Keisuke and Shosuke are also coming with us!
45
Emu
I'm gonna learn everything I can about running a business!
46
Hinata
Emu...
47
Hinata
(I was under the impression that Mr. Riley invited you to his park because he wants you to just have fun...)
48
Hinata
That's very noble of you, Emu.
I didn't realize you had so much on your mind.
49
Emu
Hehe!
50
Hinata
But be sure to go to bed early and get a good night's rest for tomorrow, okay?
51
Emu
Okay!
52
Emu
Oh, but I should write down what I want to ask Mr. Riley before I fall asleep!
53
Hinata
...
54
Hinata
Emu...
55
Emu
Huh?
56
Hinata
Please have lots and lots of fun while you're over there!
57
Emu
I will♪
