Nene

Listen

*Sigh*
(I didn't have much of an appetite during breakfast.)
2

Nene

Listen

(I guess I'm just that nervous about us working with a different troupe starting today...)
3

Nene

Listen

(From what I've heard, the one we're visiting, Shunmeiza, doesn't really do musicals.)
4

Nene

Listen

(Which means I can't sing my way out of this... Am I gonna be okay...?)
5

Nene

Listen

(Still...)
6

Nene

Listen

(They're famous for emphasizing acting technique, and a lot of them have gone on to appear on TV and stuff.)
7

Nene

Listen

(As nervous as I am...
I'm really excited about getting to see how they all practice.)

???

Listen

Morning, Nene.
9

Nene

Listen

Oh... Rui. Morning.
Wait, did you just run over here?
10

Rui

Listen

Yes, after seeing you walking down the street. I thought we could head over together and—
11

Nene

Listen

Wh-What?
12

Rui

Listen

Nothing. Just that you do look slightly pale.
I was wondering if you got enough sleep last night.
13

Nene

Listen

Oh...
14

Nene

Listen

No, I can't say that I did.
I'm actually feeling really nervous right now.
15

Nene

Listen

But you don't need to worry about me. It's not like I'm sick or anything.
16

Rui

Listen

Oh, okay. If you say so...
17

Rui

Listen

But I understand how you feel.
Shunmeiza is, after all, one of Japan's most famous theatre troupes.
18

Nene

Listen

Yeah...
19

Nene

Listen

And we've somehow been invited to go learn from them...
20

Nene

Listen

How do we even begin thanking Emu's brothers for this?
21

Rui

Listen

I know what you mean. I plan on learning as much as I can since they're giving me a chance to talk to the directing and production teams.
22

Nene

Listen

Yeah, opportunities like this don't come around often...
23

Nene

Listen

I'm really nervous...
But I also wanna make the most of it by figuring out ways to grow...!
24

Rui

Listen

Hehe...
25

Nene

Listen

Wh-What is it now?
26

Rui

Listen

I was just thinking that you've changed so much, Nene.
27

Rui

Listen

I wouldn't have put it past the old you to say, “No, I can't do this! I'm going home...!”
28

Nene

Listen

Hey...
29

Nene

Listen

I know I've changed, but I doubt I would've actually said, “I'm going home!” after coming this far.
30

Nene

Listen

While we're on the subject, Rui, as far as I can remember, this sort of situation hasn't ever bothered you.
31

Rui

Listen

Ah, that's because the excitement of encountering the unknown overpowers any nerves.
32

Rui

Listen

But if I had to say...
33

Nene

Listen

Go on...
34

Rui

Listen

I felt very nervous when Tsukasa tested out that jump-assistance backpack since there was a small risk of him exiting the atmosphere...!
35

Rui

Listen

I mean, what if my hand slipped and accidentally raised the setting too high?
36

Nene

Listen

*Sigh*
I should've known. You started off looking all serious...
37

Nene

Listen

Also, you made another really dangerous contraption? What if it explodes or something...?
38

Rui

Listen

Ah, this one's different from the one that failed before. It's designed to give the user the ability to perform acrobatic stunts that are bound to stun the audience.
39

Nene

Listen

Yeah, I'd be stunned too if I saw someone exit the atmosphere...

Nene

Listen

Huh? Oh, Emu just messaged the chat. What'd she say...?

Nene

Listen

<Nene, Rui, where are you guys?>
Wait, it's already time for us to meet!

Rui

Listen

Oh, you're right. And Tsukasa's sent a barrage of stamps asking where we are.
43

Rui

Listen

As much as I was enjoying our stroll, Nene, we should hurry over.
44

Nene

Listen

R-Right...!

Nene

Listen

(Huh...?)
46

Nene

Listen

(I was so nervous just now...
But I feel a lot better now for some reason.)
47

Rui

Listen

Hehe.
We hardly ever run together like this.
48

Rui

Listen

If only we had some high-speed running shoes we could put on, then we'd never be late...
49

Nene

Listen

No, stop thinking about making another crazy contraption right now...!

Nene

Listen

Argh!
Emu and Tsukasa keep sending stamps...
51

Nene

Listen

(There's always so much going on when I'm with the others that I never have time to feel nervous. But...)
52

Nene

Listen

(That actually helps me a lot.)
53

Nene

Listen

(As we visit these troupes, we're probably gonna be faced with our fair share of challenges.)
54

Nene

Listen

(But we should do just fine as long as we all work together.)
