Rin

Listen

Your past, Rui...?
2

Rui

Listen

Yes.
3

Rui

Listen

There was a time when I'd also given up on wanting to be around others...
4

Rin

Listen

Oh...
5

Miku

Listen

Right... Before you met everyone, you were putting on shows all by yourself.
6

Rui

Listen

Yes, because I'd fallen under the impression that no one would ever understand me or how I thought...
7

Rin

Listen

Rui...
8

Rui

Listen

In reality, I wanted to do shows with others.
9

Rui

Listen

But no one was able to understand my shows, which led me to think that I shouldn't even bother with them.
10

Rui

Listen

And then, I met...

Sound Effect: Play

11

Rui

Listen

Meeting all of you made me realize that.
12

Rui

Listen

And since then, I've changed quite a bit.
13

Rui

Listen

So much so that I looked for ways in which we could keep doing shows together.
14

Rin

Listen

Oh...! Are you talking about Emu?
15

Rui

Listen

Yes. In retrospect, what I did seems rather selfish.
16

Miku

Listen

No, don't say that!
You guys get to keep chasing your dreams together because you worked up the courage to go talk to Emu's brothers.
17

Miku

Listen

And here we are now!
18

Rui

Listen

Yes, you may be right.
19

Rui

Listen

I honestly couldn't be happier about how we're able to keep doing shows together like this.
20

Rin

Listen

Me too...!
21

Rui

Listen

All this may also apply to our zombies. They act all prickly... But deep down, they seem to want to be friends with everyone.
22

Rui

Listen

So, I'd like to help them turn that wish into a reality.
23

Rui

Listen

Just like how you all did for me.
24

Miku

Listen

Yeah! I wanna help the zombies!
25

Rin

Listen

Hmm... But how do we do that?
26

Rui

Listen

Hehe... In our case, I suppose there's always only one answer. We need to do...
27

Miku

Listen

Do what...?
28

Rui

Listen

Hello, my zombie friends!
29

Zombie Plushie

What?! You again?!
Look, we're not telling you anything about that phoenix.
30

Rui

Listen

No, I'm here to ask you about something else.
31

Rui

Listen

Would you like to do a show with us?
A few hours later

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

32

Plushies

Hm? Why are there so many plushies gathered here?
33

Plushies

They're doing a show!
And the plushies from Zombie Island are gonna be in it!
34

Plushies

What?! The zombies?
That sounds scary... But what's it supposed to be about?

Sound Effect: Play

35

Rui

Listen

Hehe. We have quite an audience here now.
36

Rui

Listen

So, are you all ready?
37

Emu

Listen

Yup! Ready!
38

Nene

Listen

You really caught us by surprise when you said that we're doing a show...
39

Tsukasa

Listen

But we all know exactly what to do since this is a modified rendition of Potato Ghosts!
40

MEIKO

Listen

Zombies, are you all ready?
41

Zombie Plushie

Y-Yeah.
But...
42

Zombie Plushies

Maybe this isn't such a good idea...
43

Zombie Plushies

We agreed to do this after you told us over and over that we'd be able to become friends with everyone if we did... But I still get the feeling that they're gonna be scared of us...
44

Emu

Listen

Don't worry! I'm sure they'll all be smiling in the end!
45

Rui

Listen

Yes, shows have that kind of power. Please trust me.
46

Zombie Plushies

O-Okay...
47

Rui

Listen

We also need to thank you for allowing us to put on a show here on such short notice, Mr. Innkeeper.
48

Gorilla Plushie

Nah, that's all good.
I mean, shows and parties go hand in hand.
49

Rui

Listen

Then, we'll get started.
A real zombie show with our plushie friends here.

Park Staff Member

Listen

“Director! We have a remarkably large audience today!”

51

Park Director

Listen

“Oh? Excellent!
Let's see what sort of demographic it is this time... Huh?”
52

Zombies

“CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP.”
53

Park Director

Listen

“Those look like...zombies!”

Sound Effect: Play

54

Park Director

Listen

“No...!
Stay away. You're never going to catch me!”
55

Zombies

“Wait. We just want to... Ow!”

Sound Effect: Play

56

Park Director

Listen

“Oh, you went for quite the tumble.
Your head and arms appear to have fallen off... A-Are you okay...?”
57

Zombies

Listen

“We're fine! I mean...”
58

Zombies

Listen

“We're zombies!”
59

Park Director

Listen

“I forgot! I need to keep running!”

Sound Effect: Play

60

Plushies

Haha. The zombies are funny!
61

Zombies

“CHOMP.”
62

Park Director

Listen

“No! I got bit!”
63

Park Staff Member

Listen

“Director! A-Are you hurt?”
64

Park Director

Listen

“Owwwwwwww...
Wait, no... It doesn't hurt...?”
65

Park Staff Member

Listen

“Huh?”
66

Park Director

Listen

“Odd... That didn't hurt at all...
Also, they seem to have settled down all of a sudden...”
67

Zombies

“CHOMP CHOMP. Nice to meet you... Greetings...don't hurt...”
68

Park Director

Listen

“Wh-What?! Is this how zombies greet each other?!”
69

Park Staff Member

Listen

“Director... What if they just want to become our friends...?”
70

Plushies

Wait, is that true?

Sound Effect: Play

71

Plushie A

Hold on. That means when they bit me that other time...
72

Park Director

Listen

“Yes, that appears to be the case...”
73

Park Director

Listen

“Then, nice to meet you too!
CHOMP!”
74

Zombies

Listen

“Oh, thank you!
Hehe. Now we can nibble on each other as much as we like!”
75

Zombies

“Yeah! CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!”
76

Rui

Listen

And so, the zombies were able to spend Halloween at the amusement park and have a wonderfully fun time with all the guests.
77

Rui

Listen

The end...
Thank you all for watching.
78

Plushie C

That was a great show!
And the zombies were really cute!

Sound Effect: Play

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

79

Plushie A

Yeah. Also, I guess they just wanted to become friends with the rest of us.
80

Plushie A

Now I feel bad about being scared of them...
81

Rui

Listen

Then, why don't we finish things off by greeting all of you?
82

Plushie C

What?
83

Rui

Listen

As a way of showing thanks for watching our show until the end. Of course, zombie style.
84

Plushie C

O-Okay...!
85

Plushie A

Oh, do it to me too!
Here, I'm ready!
86

Zombie Plushie

O-Okay...
Um, CHOMP!
87

Miku

Listen

Your show made it possible for everyone to become friends, Rui♪
88

Rui

Listen

Yes, I'm glad we were able to help them somehow.
89

Rui

Listen

(Also...)
90

Plushie C

Now it's my turn to say hi!
I'll bite you this time! CHOMP!
91

Rui

Listen

(The other plushies seem to be much less scared of the zombies now.)
92

Rui

Listen

(Hehe. Shows really are wonderful.)
93

Rui

Listen

(They're able to wash away any misconceptions that the audience has lingering within their minds.)
94

Rui

Listen

(And I'd like to keep putting on shows like this. Ones that transcend borders. Ones that can really bring people together.)
95

Rui

Listen

(That kind of show.)
96

Zombie Plushie

Hey, do you have a minute?
97

Miku

Listen

Yeah, sure! What's up?
98

Zombie Plushie

So, thanks for putting on that show for us. We were able to become friends with everyone because you did...
99

Rui

Listen

Hehe. No worries.
It was something I just felt like doing is all.
100

Zombie Plushie

Still... Thanks.
101

Zombie Plushie

Also, you said you were looking for a phoenix.
102

Zombie Plushie

We've heard a rumor that someone in the harbor knows a lot about them.
103

Rin

Listen

Really?! Can you tell us who?
104

Zombie Plushie

Yeah. They're...
105

Miku

Listen

We did it, Rui!
We got our next clue to finding that phoenix!
106

Rui

Listen

Yes, we can finally take our next step forward.
107

Rui

Listen

So, let's keep doing our best and find that phoenix.
