GROOOAR! CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!

Aaargh!!!
It won't stop chasing me!!!

RAAARGH! CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!

Somebody help me! My legs are about to give out!

Hang in there, Tsukasa!
Help's on the way!

Miku, Len, are you ready?

Yup! All good here!

Then let's begin Operation Lion Capture!

Yeah!

Whaaam!

Got it!

Slaaam!

My goodness, Emu! You were born to make mochi!

Yay! I got praised by Miku!
Let's make the most delicious mochi ever☆

CHOMP!

Oh, Lion Dance Robot! Wanna help us make mochi?

CHOMP CHOMP!

Alright! Let's make them together!

I'm glad you've become such good friends with the Lion Dance Robot. It was worth staying up all night working on it.

It's so lifelike. It's unbelievable!
But why did you decide to make it...?

Hehe. I wanted to make a robot to go along with the time of year.

I cloned Robo-Nene's operating system, but its AI is original and lets it move autonomously.

Wow! Um, that sounds so high tech! But it's a really cool robot, nonetheless!

Sorry, but can someone help us out?
I need someone to help cut mochi cakes.

I'm happy to help!
Let's do it together♪

It's great to see everyone so happy and full of energy on New Year's Day!

Yes. It's a nice time to just relax. Lately, I've been stuck thinking up ideas for a new show...

Oh, you're working on a new show?

Yes. Miku found this gigantic net and wanted to use it for a performance, but I'm having trouble finding a way to include it...

Speaking of which, where did you get the mochi mortar and mallet from? Looks like they've already been used quite a bit...

Oh, that was all Emu.
She found them in a storehouse at her house.

CHOMP CHOMP!

Whoa, what do you want?
Weren't you making mochi with Emu?

CHOMP!

I think it likes you, Tsukasa.
Maybe try playing with it.

With me? Well, okay...
I can play with it for a bit if...

CHOMP

Oww! Cut it out!
Hey, don't chew on my head!
Stop it or I won't play with you!!

Okay, great!
We're almost done here!

Yeah! Okay, one last push!
Whaaam!

Ready!

Whaaam!

Ready!

Slaaaaam!!!

Hm...?

Uh oh, the mallet flew out of Emu's hands!

Tsukasa! Watch out!!

What the...?! Why's there a mallet flying towards me...?!

Hey, Lion Dance Robot! We have to move or...!

CHOMP?!

Nooo!!! I'm so sorry, Lion Dance Robot!
I let the mallet fly out of my hands and...

Hm? Lion Dance Robot?
It's gone all quiet...

...

Hey, say something!

...

Is it broken...?
Rui, can you take a look and...?

GR, GRR, GRRRRR...

Huh?

CHOOOMP!!!

What the...?!

RAAARGH! CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP!!!!

S-Stop! Stay away from me!!

Wh-What's going on...?!
