Emu

Listen

(See things from other people's perspectives...)
2

Emu

Listen

(Then, my portrayal of Ushiwakamaru will become a lot better.)
3

Emu

Listen

(But I don't have a lot of time until the day our acting skills are put to the test. Which means I can't do what Mr. Kijima did...)
4

Emu

Listen

(Then...)
5

Emu

Listen

(I just have to come up with a way to make it so everyone understands what my character is feeling!)

<Emu!>

Emu

Listen

Huh?
That sounded like...

Oh, Len!
What brings you here?

Len

Listen

<Well, I've become really good at doing those squats you showed us the other day, so I was wondering if we could do some together...>
11

Len

Listen

<Wait, huh...?>
12

Len

Listen

<Is there something on your mind right now?>
13

Emu

Listen

Huh? How did you know?
14

Len

Listen

<Because the space between your eyebrows is all squished and wrinkly.>
15

Len

Listen

<Is something bothering you?
I wanna help if I can!>
16

Emu

Listen

Oh...
17

Emu

Listen

Hehehe. Thanks, Len!
Then, if you don't mind listening for a bit...!
18

Emu

Listen

Today, Mr. Kijima told me that...
19

Len

Listen

<...seeing things from other people's perspectives, huh?>
20

Emu

Listen

Yeah, and I was trying to come up with a way to learn how to do that in a short amount of time...
21

Len

Listen

<I see...>
22

Len

Listen

<In that case, the answer's easy...!>
23

Emu

Listen

Huh?
24

Len

Listen

<Lemme help you!>
25

Len

Listen

<I'll watch you practice your lines as much as need me to. Dozens or hundreds of times if necessary. And I'll tell you what I think!>
26

Emu

Listen

Len...
27

Len

Listen

<And I'm probably not alone.
I bet KAITO, Miku, Tsukasa and everyone else will wanna help too...>
28

Len

Listen

<No, not just them.
I have a feeling that a lot of other people will also want to help.>
29

Len

Listen

<Why don't you try asking everyone around you to see if they'll watch you practice for just a bit and hear what they have to say...?>
30

Len

Listen

<That should at least be a little similar to what Mr. Kijima did!>
31

Emu

Listen

Oh...
32

Emu

Listen

(Hehe. He's right...)
33

Emu

Listen

(I have all these people around me who I can ask for help!)
34

Emu

Listen

Yeah...!
If I ask everyone I know for their help, then my acting should get a super duper amazingly awesome boost of power!
35

Emu

Listen

So, I'm gonna start right now!
36

Emu

Listen

By asking you first, Len!
Could you watch me practice for a little bit?
37

Len

Listen

<Yeah, sure!>
38

Keisuke

Listen

Anyway, we'll be going now.

Okay, good luck.
Oh, do you think you'll be home in time for dinn—

Shooosuuuke!

Shosuke

Listen

Whoa, why are you shouting so early in the morning? What is it you want today?
42

Emu

Listen

So, I wanna ask you guys for a favor!
But you don't have to help me right this second. Whenever you're free is fine...
43

Hinata

Listen

A favor?
44

Shosuke

Listen

We don't want to be late, so please make it quick.
45

Emu

Listen

Thanks!
So, the thing is...
46

Emu

Listen

“So, shall we go stir things up in this world a little?”
47

Emu

Listen

...and scene!
How'd I do?

48

Honami

Listen

I knew you'd give us a good performance!
49

Honami

Listen

I really don't know much about acting, but you just want us to say what we felt, right...?
50

Emu

Listen

Yeah, please tell me!
51

Honami

Listen

Then...
52

Rin

Listen

<So, I thought it'd be better if you jumped around a lot more to really show how excited Ushiwakamaru is!>
53

Rin

Listen

<He has a lot of fun while fighting against Benkei, right? That's why I think he'd move around with a lot more energy!>
54

MEIKO

Listen

<Hmm... But wouldn't that sort of take away from Ushiwakamaru's cool and collected demeanor?>
55

Nene

Listen

I agree.
During this scene, Ushiwakamaru's probably feeling a sense of fun, but not just that...
56

Boy

...
57

Tsukasa

Listen

Wait, that boy's looking our way!
Sorry, everyone, but you're all going to have to hide for the time being!

Rui

Listen

Hello there. Is something wrong?
Where are your mommy and daddy? Are they not here with you?
59

Boy

They're over there.
I came to get my ball...
60

Emu

Listen

Your ball?
Oh, this?!
61

Nene

Listen

Sorry for not noticing sooner.
We didn't realize that it'd come our way.
62

Boy

No, that's okay.
Anyway, what were you guys doing just now?
63

Boy

I saw some of you jumping around while shouting “Hiyah!” and stuff...
64

Emu

Listen

We're practicing for a play!
It's about this amazing person who lived a really long time ago called Ushiwakamaru!
65

Boy

A play...?
66

Emu

Listen

Oh, do you want to see it...?!
67

Boy

Yeah, kinda...
68

Emu

Listen

Really?!
Oh, in that case...!
69

Emu

Listen

Wanna watch us rehearse our play?!
70

Boy

Wait, you mean it?
71

Emu

Listen

Yeah! How about it, you guys...?
I know we don't have all the people we need, but let's try to figure something out...
72

Rui

Listen

Hehe. I don't mind.
Plus, it's also two birds with one stone in terms of hearing from as many different people as you can.
73

Tsukasa

Listen

Good point! Then, it's time for Wonderlands×Showtime to put on a surprise performance!
74

Nene

Listen

Before we do, we might want to ask his parents first. We probably shouldn't just suddenly start performing for him without their permission...
75

Rui

Listen

Actually, we should ask to see if they'd also like to watch. We are trying to hear from as many people as we can, after all.
76

Emu

Listen

Okay!

Emu's Voice

“Hup.”

Emu

Listen

(The final scene where I fight Benkei...)
81

Emu

Listen

(I'm supposed to show just how much fun Ushiwakamaru's having. He's so excited by how beautiful the moon is on this night, and...)
82

Emu

Listen

(As Benkei tries to fight him, he starts to really enjoy teasing his opponent.)
83

Emu

Listen

(I have to make sure I do that mischievous side of Ushiwakamaru justice...)
84

Emu

Listen

(Huh...?
But everyone's watching me so seriously...)
85

Emu

Listen

(No, this can't be right...)
86

Emu

Listen

(Everyone's supposed to be giggling and snickering as they watch...)
87

Emu

Listen

(Oh, I know...!
What if I did something more...?)
