Emu

Listen

Goood mooorning!!
It's gonna be another fun and wonderhoy day♪
2

Hinata

Listen

Good morning, Emu.
Oh, Keisuke, I didn't realize you were already up.
3

Keisuke

Listen

Yes, I have a meeting first thing this morning.
4

Emu

Listen

Sis, guess what?!
I just heard this from Keisuke when I was upstairs...
5

Emu

Listen

He said that the night shows have gotten really popular, and lots and lots of visitors are coming to see them now!
6

Hinata

Listen

Oh, is that true?
7

Keisuke

Listen

Yes, it is.
We're on pace to see a 112% increase over last month.
8

Hinata

Listen

Really...?!
That show's more popular than I realized.
9

Keisuke

Listen

It certainly is. Our ambassadorial shows have also begun to have a positive impact on the park.
10

Emu

Listen

Hehe♪ That makes me so happy!!
11

Shosuke

Listen

*Yawn*
What's with all the shouting? Can't you see it's still morning...?
12

Hinata

Listen

Good morning, Shosuke.
You seem awfully sleepy.
13

Shosuke

Listen

Keisuke and I had a lot to discuss last night.
14

Hinata

Listen

A lot as in...?
15

Keisuke

Listen

Mostly regarding how to maintain our attendance figures. Ideally, the night show will be able to hold its current popularity while we execute our next plan.
16

Keisuke

Listen

Yes, exactly.
And we'd like you to join us for a discussion tonight, Emu.
17

Emu

Listen

Me? Really?
18

Keisuke

Listen

Yes, we need someone who sees things from a different perspective. I hope you'll be willing to help.
19

Emu

Listen

...!
20

Emu

Listen

Okay...!
21

Hinata

Listen

Hehe...
22

Hinata

Listen

(They're so optimistic about the park's future. Just like when we were little.)
23

Hinata

Listen

(I couldn't be happier for them.)
That night

Emu

Listen

Captain...!
I've brought you some of my ideas, Sir!
25

Shosuke

Listen

Who was that directed at exactly?
26

Keisuke

Listen

Ah, wonderful. I shall take a look, Private Emu.
27

Shosuke

Listen

You're going along with this?!
28

Emu

Listen

Thank you, Sir! I even put together a notebook of ideas for you, Shosuke!
29

Emu

Listen

I call it, “Operation More and More Visitors!”
30

Keisuke

Listen

Straight to the point, huh?
Alright, let's have a look... Hm?
31

Keisuke

Listen

“Night shows in the morning and afternoon”...?
32

Shosuke

Listen

Hold on. You can't call it a “night show” if it happens during the day!
33

Emu

Listen

No, those shows are gonna be different from the “night show”!
34

Emu

Listen

The morning and afternoon shows will be about what happens before the story from the night show! Wouldn't that make the night show more fun?!
35

Shosuke

Listen

Yes, I see...
A prequel for the night show, huh?
36

Keisuke

Listen

That's something our core visitors would really enjoy. We'll take it into consideration.
37

Emu

Listen

Yay☆
38

Emu

Listen

Alright, my next idea has to do with how to make the night show more fun while you're riding the Ferris wheel...

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

39

Emu

Listen

Okay, that's everything!
40

Shosuke

Listen

So many ideas...
Where did you find the time to come up with all of these?
41

Emu

Listen

Like when? After waking up, on my way to school, during class, on my way home and before I go to bed...?
42

Shosuke

Listen

Okay, okay, we get it!
43

Keisuke

Listen

However, we'll have a steep hill to climb if we were to try and implement all these ideas...
44

Emu

Listen

Really?
45

Keisuke

Listen

You've definitely come up with some excellent ideas, and they'll surely help us attract more visitors by putting them into practice...
46

Shosuke

Listen

But reality isn't so kind.
We don't have the budget or manpower to pull this off.
47

Emu

Listen

R-Right...!
Sorry, I didn't really think about any of that...
48

Keisuke

Listen

And that's perfectly fine. It's also why we're having this discussion now.
49

Keisuke

Listen

Let's start with your morning and afternoon shows since it seemed like your most promising idea.
50

Emu

Listen

Okay! So um... Well...
51

Shosuke

Listen

We don't have a big enough cast to make it happen. We're already shorthanded as it is in terms of cast members compared to similar parks.
52

Emu

Listen

Wait, is that true?
53

Shosuke

Listen

Unfortunately, ours is about two-thirds the size of others.
54

Emu

Listen

I didn't know that...!
55

Emu

Listen

(Come to think of it, I really don't know much about the other parks...)
56

Shosuke

Listen

Partnering with Riley Entertainment will mean we'll need a bigger cast. Should we start putting out “help wanted” ads?
57

Keisuke

Listen

No, we'll need to be more tactful about this. Any new cast members we hire will need to be trained, which is a burden the veteran cast members will have to carry.
58

Keisuke

Listen

We may need to rethink how we train new hires. Can you try discussing this with HR, Shosuke...?
59

Shosuke

Listen

I'm on it. The veteran cast members, show performers and creative staff should find solace in knowing that their lives aren't about to be turned on their heads.
60

Keisuke

Listen

Precisely. In theory, we should have an easier time gathering more cast members in the long run, and putting on more entertaining shows.
61

Emu

Listen

Wow...

62

Keisuke

Listen

Oh, sorry. Be right back.
I need to take this.

63

Shosuke

Listen

Sure thing. Still, I'll be up to my neck in meetings with HR tomorrow. I'll just have to let them know first thing in the morning...
64

Emu

Listen

(That was so cool...)
65

Emu

Listen

(They have to know so much about the other parks on top of our own. That's probably why they always “know” what decisions to make.)
66

Emu

Listen

(While I...)
67

Emu

Listen

(Oh, I know...!)
68

Emu

Listen

Um, Shosuke!
69

Shosuke

Listen

Hm? What is it?
70

Emu

Listen

I want to learn more about running a business!
71

Shosuke

Listen

What?
72

Emu

Listen

You guys have to think really hard about money, everyone who works at the park and lots of other stuff, right...?
73

Emu

Listen

If I learned more about what goes on each day, I could...
74

Shosuke

Listen

Oh...
75

Shosuke

Listen

But that's not really your department, is it, Emu?
76

Emu

Listen

Huh?
77

Shosuke

Listen

Running a company like ours is indeed no small task, and with regards to where you fit into that...

78

Shosuke

Oh, I'm getting a call.
Sorry, I'll also be right back.

86

Emu

(Yeah...!)
87

Emu

Listen

(I don't care if I'm not cut out for it. I'm gonna try my best to learn more!)
88

Emu

Listen

(I wanna “know” how to make the right decisions too!)
89

Keisuke

Listen

Emu? Hello?
90

Emu

Listen

Eep! Y-You're back from your calls?
91

Shosuke

Listen

You didn't hear any of that just now, huh? I'll say it once more, so listen carefully.
92

Shosuke

Listen

How does visiting the United States sound...?
93

Emu

Listen

What...?!
