Bird Cast Member A
Yeah, a really important part of the story too. The opening scene is where the birds whisper and gossip about the phoenix.
Bird Cast Member B
We need to do our best since it's going to be our job to immerse the audience into the story.
Bird Cast Member A
Oh, the way you're waddling while stretching out your neck. You're like a real duck!
Bird Cast Member B
What?! Every day?!

Boy
Whoa, you're right! Hey, can we play too?
Girl
Haha! She just quacked, “Yes!”
Boy
Cool! Quack! Quack!
Bird Cast Member A
I see... You spent as much time as you could in character in order to become as real a duck as possible.

Bird Cast Member B
That explains why the director was so happy with your portrayal...!
Bird Cast Member B
Yeah. He was really impressed by how you've been working despite how minor your role is.
Rui
But you just kept at it until today, Emu. Not many people can commit the way you have.
Bird Cast Member A
Where you lack in experience and specialized knowledge, I believe your work ethic more than makes up for that.
Bird Cast Member B
Hehe. I have a feeling that you have a lot of other tricks up your sleeve, Otori.
Rui
When you decide to practice something a certain way, you usually never stray away from it.
Rui
Not only that, but you also immediately chose to observe how ducks act and behave instead of doubting your own knowledge or why you were given this role.
Bird Cast Member B
Yeah, since being the Featherbrained Duck doesn't mean you can just go on stage and goof off.
Bird Cast Member A
So true. On top of that, it's hard not to sound “human” when you're trying to be funny.
Emu
(I was just trying my best since Tsukasa and Nene were also practicing really, really hard. But...)
Bird Cast Member A
Yeah, I wouldn't worry!
Bird Cast Member B
Let's do our best during practice today so that our show becomes a really fun one! That includes you as well, Kamishiro!
