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

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

Yes, I have a meeting first thing this morning.

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

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

Oh, is that true?

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

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

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

Hehe♪ That makes me so happy!!

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

Good morning, Shosuke.
You seem awfully sleepy.

Keisuke and I had a lot to discuss last night.

A lot as in...?

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.

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

Me? Really?

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

...!

Okay...!

Hehe...

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

(I couldn't be happier for them.)

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

Who was that directed at exactly?

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

You're going along with this?!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?!

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

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

Yay☆

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

Okay, that's everything!

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

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

Okay, okay, we get it!

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

Really?

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

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

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

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

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

Okay! So um... Well...

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.

Wait, is that true?

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

I didn't know that...!

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Wow...

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

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...

(That was so cool...)

(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.)

(While I...)

(Oh, I know...!)

Um, Shosuke!

Hm? What is it?

I want to learn more about running a business!

What?

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

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

Oh...

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

Huh?

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

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

O-Okay...

...

(Was he trying to say that I'm not really cut out for the business side of things...?)

(But if I don't do something...)

(I'll just be stuck relying on everyone else.)

(I couldn't do anything without them when I was just claiming to want to protect the Wonder Stage and Phoenix Wonderland...)

(Yeah...!)

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

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

Emu? Hello?

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

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

How does visiting the United States sound...?

What...?!
