Robo-Phoenix

Listen

“Too slow.
Honestly, where are you looking? Are you not going to catch me?”

Tsukasa

Listen

“Stop!
I'm going to catch you no matter what!”

Sound Effect: Play

Rui

Listen

Okay, Robo-Phoenix seems to be having no trouble flying and moving around...

Emu

Listen

Then, we should try practicing just as hard as Tsukasa!

Nene

Listen

Yeah. I think I'll do some basic strength exercises and go for a run around the park afterwards.

Rui

Listen

I'll sit here and keep reading through the script, while also keeping an eye on Robo-Phoenix.

Nene

Listen

What about you, Emu?

Emu

Listen

I'm gonna go find some ducks!

Rui

Listen

Hehe. To get into character as the Featherbrained Duck, yes? You should be able to find some by the pond.

Emu

Listen

Thanks!
I'll head over there now☆

Emu

Listen

Sneak...
Sneaky sneak...

Emu

Listen

Aha! There you are, my duckies...!
Slooowly... I shouldn't scare them...

Emu

Listen

(I'll start by observing them like Sakurako was talking about!)

Duck

Quack! Quack!

Sound Effect: Play

Emu

Listen

(Oh, they sorta glide across the water as they swim!)

Emu

Listen

(Hmm... That one's pecking at a leaf on the surface of the water... Does it think it's food or something?)

Emu

Listen

(More are gathering in a big hurry... They must all have a big appetite!)

Emu

Listen

(Oh, this sort of stuff should be in an encyclopedia! After I get home, I'll try borrowing the one Keisuke had when he was little!)

Emu

Listen

(Hm? There's a big duck and some ducklings in the grass way over on the other side.)

Big Duck

Quaack, quack...

Sound Effect: Play

Duckling

Peep, peeep.

Emu

Listen

(It is a mom with her babies? The ducklings seem to be following her lead and trying to groom themselves.)

Emu

Listen

(Then, I'll try copying them! Time for some grooming!)

Emu

Listen

Hmm... Hnng... Hm...?

Emu

Listen

Hmm... I don't think I can...
My neck just isn't long enough.

Emu

Listen

(Still... Sakurako isn't actually a phoenix, but she totally looked like one on stage.)

Emu

Listen

(I've never seen a real one before, but I ended up thinking, “It's a phoenix!”)

Emu

Listen

(I really don't know what I'm supposed to do here...)

Emu

Listen

(For now, I just need to keep copying them!)

Duck

Quack, quack! Quaack!

Sound Effect: Play

Emu

Listen

(Um... Spread my wings really wide and...)

Emu

Listen

Quack, quack! Quaack!

Duck

Quack!

Emu

Listen

Oh...

Emu

Listen

(It saw me!
Then...!)

Emu

Listen

Good quack to you! May I quack what you are doing?

Duck

Q-Quack...?

Emu

Listen

(Huh? It tilted its head.
Did it not understand what I was trying to say?)

Emu

Listen

(Then, I'll try again!
Raise your arms! Spread them even wider!)

Emu

Listen

Quack! Quack, quaack, quack!!!
(Hello! I'm Emu Otori!!!)

Duck

Q-Quack...! Quaaack!

Emu

Listen

(Oh, it's spreading its wings now!)

Emu

Listen

(Maybe it's trying to show me how!
Oh, I need to tilt my hands at the right angle!)

Emu

Listen

So twist my wrists like this? And tilt my elbows...like this?

Emu

Listen

(Oh, the duck I'm playing is supposed to be kinda scatterbrained, so I can try waddling as I walk!)

Emu

Listen

Quaaaack. Quaaaack.

Duck

Q-Quaaack...!!!

Sound Effect: Play

Ducks

Quack? Quack...!

Emu

Listen

Oh, the other ducks are starting to gather!

Emu

Listen

And they're all spreading their wings!
Is this their way of greeting each other? Quack, quack☆

Nene

Listen

Wh-What in the world is she doing...? I think the ducks are forming a circle to try to intimidate her...

Rui

Listen

But they're getting very close to her without much hesitation. I don't see any running away.

Rui

Listen

They may be seeing her as one of them... Or rather... They're partly scared but also partly curious.

Duck

Quack...!

Sound Effect: Play

Emu

Listen

Hehe♪ Quack♪

Emu

Listen

(Alright, I'm gonna figure out my character by chatting up a storm with my feathery friends!)
