Grr... They won't stop moving...
And I get the feeling that they're making fun of me...

What choice do we have?
Nene was right. City kids like us don't stand a chance against these monkeys' natural toughness.

And it's not like we lost everything...
We still have a bucket full of wild herbs and berries!

Ook?!

Listen, Nene.
You absolutely need to protect this bucket. We can't afford to have our lifeline get stolen!

Now, let's head back!
I'm sure Shosuke's worked up quite an appetite and is eagerly awaiting our return!

These monkeys seem very smart.
I think they've been closely observing our actions and how we talk.

When we corner them, we'll act like we're giving up. Then, we'll say, “We don't need those bananas,” and show them that we still have a bucket full of food.
Rui
My guess is that they'll try to take our bucket along with the bananas, which is when we'll let loose our trap.
Rui
I thought we could make one out of the vine I picked up earlier and some of the torn fishing nets that I found along the coast.
Rui
We'll need you to egg the monkeys on, Tsukasa. As for the crucial role of the person holding the bucket...
Rui
Because the monkeys took the bananas from you. If they see you again, they may believe that they'll be able to steal whatever else you're carrying.
Rui
You and I will be in charge of casting the net, Emu. While you carefully show the monkeys what's in our bucket, Nene, we'll need you to somehow lure them towards us.

<I know you must be very scared.
I mean, it's not like you go around chasing after wild monkeys on a day-to-day basis.>

<But I was talking about something closer to home. And it's not just Nene. It's something that Tsukasa, the others and I have experienced before several times.>

<Correct♪
The moment before you go on stage is always a little scary because you're worried about how things will go and how the audience will react, right?>

<You must've also had to muster up quite a bit of courage to start performing on stage again after taking a break from it, Nene.>
Luka
<And the way you ad-libbed a song after Robo-Nene malfunctioned was so wonderful too...>
Nene
Standing on stage can be scary, but trying to fool some monkeys seems like a different story.
Nene
(But they sorta have a point. The tension in the air before the curtains go up, being scared of forgetting my lines or worrying about staying in pitch during a song...)
MEIKO
<All you have to do is remember everything that you went through and think about how you were able to overcome all those situations...!>
