Keisuke
As I just mentioned, you becoming freelancers poses many problems for us.
Keisuke
However, we're also not in a position to force you to stay on your current contracts.
Keisuke
We'll consider your proposal...
Let us hope that it works out for both parties in the end.

Rui
...!
Rui
(We weren't able to reach a resolution, but our discussion still ended up being quite worthwhile.)
Rui
(Especially since they agreed to allow me to invite Emu on this endeavor.)
Rui
(But whether or not she agrees is ultimately up to her.)
Rui
When the time comes for them to say that they wish to leave the Wonder Stage, will you try to follow in their footsteps?
Emu
Nope.
Emu
Because my dream is to protect Grandpa's amusement park and keep it the way it is.
Emu
And make a place where everyone smiles!
Rui
(Emu deeply cares about Phoenix Wonderland, from the bottom of her heart...)
Rui
(I shouldn't get in the way of her dream...)
Rui
(But I...)
Rui
(I want the four of us to make our dreams come true together. I don't want to give up on that...)
Rui
What am I supposed to do in this situation...?
???
Huh? Rui...?
Rui
...!
Rui
Emu...?!
Emu
Are you heading back to the Wonder Stage?
Emu
We thought you were gonna go straight home after you took care of that thing you were talking about. I just said bye to the others after finishing up practice and...
Rui
What...?
Rui
(I'm at Phoenix Wonderland...?
But why? I thought I was on my way home...)
But why? I thought I was on my way home...)
Rui
(This isn't good...
I can't seem to get the conversation I had with her brothers out of my mind.)

Emu
Rui...?
Rui
Oh, um...
Rui
I've finished doing that thing I mentioned, but I got the feeling I'd left something here.
Emu
Oh, okay...
Emu
Want me to help you look?
Rui
No, thank you. I should be fine.
Emu
Okay...
Rui
Emu, there's something I'd like to ask you...
Emu
Sure, what's up?
Rui
...
Rui
Would it be possible for us to talk tomorrow...?
Emu
Tomorrow? Not now...?
Rui
Yes.
This matter also involves Tsukasa and Nene.
This matter also involves Tsukasa and Nene.
Rui
So, I'd like to discuss it when we're all present.
Emu
Okay, got it!
Rui
...
Rui
I'll let you know once I have a better idea of when we can all meet. For now, see you tomorrow.
Emu
See you then♪
Rui
My hope is that I'll get the same sort of positive response tomorrow...
Rui
(I can't bring myself to give up being with them.)
Rui
(I've finally found the best of friends in Tsukasa, Nene and Emu.)
Rui
(So, I'm going to spend every second I have left to think of a way for us to stay together while pursuing our dreams.)
