Part 1

Nonogi Park
1
Robo-Phoenix
“Too slow.
Honestly, where are you looking? Are you not going to catch me?”
2
Tsukasa
“Stop!
I'm going to catch you no matter what!”
3
Rui
Okay, Robo-Phoenix seems to be having no trouble flying and moving around...
4
Emu
Then, we should try practicing just as hard as Tsukasa!
5
Nene
Yeah. I think I'll do some basic strength exercises and go for a run around the park afterwards.
6
Rui
I'll sit here and keep reading through the script, while also keeping an eye on Robo-Phoenix.
7
Nene
What about you, Emu?
8
Emu
I'm gonna go find some ducks!
9
Rui
Hehe. To get into character as the Featherbrained Duck, yes? You should be able to find some by the pond.
10
Emu
Thanks!
I'll head over there now☆
11
Emu
Sneak...
Sneaky sneak...
12
Emu
Aha! There you are, my duckies...!
Slooowly... I shouldn't scare them...
13
Emu
(I'll start by observing them like Sakurako was talking about!)
14
Duck
Quack! Quack!
15
Emu
(Oh, they sorta glide across the water as they swim!)
16
Emu
(Hmm... That one's pecking at a leaf on the surface of the water... Does it think it's food or something?)
17
Emu
(More are gathering in a big hurry... They must all have a big appetite!)
18
Emu
(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!)
19
Emu
(Hm? There's a big duck and some ducklings in the grass way over on the other side.)
20
Big Duck
Quaack, quack...
21
Duckling
Peep, peeep.
22
Emu
(It is a mom with her babies? The ducklings seem to be following her lead and trying to groom themselves.)
23
Emu
(Then, I'll try copying them! Time for some grooming!)
24
Emu
Hmm... Hnng... Hm...?
25
Emu
Hmm... I don't think I can...
My neck just isn't long enough.
26
Emu
(Still... Sakurako isn't actually a phoenix, but she totally looked like one on stage.)
27
Emu
(I've never seen a real one before, but I ended up thinking, “It's a phoenix!”)
28
Emu
(I really don't know what I'm supposed to do here...)
29
Emu
(For now, I just need to keep copying them!)
30
Duck
Quack, quack! Quaack!
31
Emu
(Um... Spread my wings really wide and...)
32
Emu
Quack, quack! Quaack!
33
Duck
Quack!
34
Emu
Oh...
35
Emu
(It saw me!
Then...!)
36
Emu
Good quack to you! May I quack what you are doing?
37
Duck
Q-Quack...?
38
Emu
(Huh? It tilted its head.
Did it not understand what I was trying to say?)
39
Emu
(Then, I'll try again!
Raise your arms! Spread them even wider!)
40
Emu
Quack! Quack, quaack, quack!!!
(Hello! I'm Emu Otori!!!)
41
Duck
Q-Quack...! Quaaack!
42
Emu
(Oh, it's spreading its wings now!)
43
Emu
(Maybe it's trying to show me how!
Oh, I need to tilt my hands at the right angle!)
44
Emu
So twist my wrists like this? And tilt my elbows...like this?
45
Emu
(Oh, the duck I'm playing is supposed to be kinda scatterbrained, so I can try waddling as I walk!)
46
Emu
Quaaaack. Quaaaack.
47
Duck
Q-Quaaack...!!!
48
Ducks
Quack? Quack...!
49
Emu
Oh, the other ducks are starting to gather!
50
Emu
And they're all spreading their wings!
Is this their way of greeting each other? Quack, quack☆
51
Nene
Wh-What in the world is she doing...? I think the ducks are forming a circle to try to intimidate her...
52
Rui
But they're getting very close to her without much hesitation. I don't see any running away.
53
Rui
They may be seeing her as one of them... Or rather... They're partly scared but also partly curious.
54
Duck
Quack...!
55
Emu
Hehe♪ Quack♪
56
Emu
(Alright, I'm gonna figure out my character by chatting up a storm with my feathery friends!)
