Kamiyama High School Class 2-B Rui: (Hm... I may not be able to do all the lighting effects I want with the number of illuminations on Wonder Stage... ) Rui: (The lighting effects that can be done on an outdoor stage like that are quite limited to begin with. And I have to try to match them to Tsukasa's image as well...) Classmate A: (Kamishiro never takes notes in class. He's usually doodling or writing some kind of formula instead...) Rui: (I know. We just have to figure out the optimal amount of light needed according to the weather that day. I'll get Tsukasa to help me with the calculations later...) Classmate A: (Whoa. He just broke into a smile over nothing. He's as crazy as the rumors say...)
Kamiyama High School Hallway Rui: Let's see... Is Tsukasa in his classroom? Tsukasa: Oh, Rui! Just the person I was looking for! I need to talk to you about something. Rui: So do I, but let's hear what you have to say first. Go ahead. Tsukasa: Hehehe... Look at this! It's a flyer publicizing our show! Rui: Wow, when did you come up with that? Tsukasa: A future star must always look ahead! What do you think? Not bad for something hand drawn, eh? Rui: Yes, it's quite well done, actually. You're surprisingly good at this. Tsukasa: Why is it surprising? Tsukasa: Anyway, I need you to help me fold them all. Rui: Yes, that would make them easier to distribute. But since you're asking for help, there must be quite a lot of flyers to fold, then? Tsukasa: Yes. That whole stack over there. Right there! Rui: Right... That's a lot of flyers. There must be hundreds. Tsukasa: Come on, this should be quick and easy with two of us! Rui: No thanks. Tsukasa: Huh? Rui: I refuse to do something so inefficient. We can't finish folding so many flyers before school ends. This is just going to be a giant waste of time. Tsukasa: Wh-What are you saying?! These flyers will help to publicize our show! And you're calling them a waste of time? Rui: Well, let me finish. The thing is, we don't have to do it ourselves, right? Tsukasa: What do you mean? Rui: Exactly what I just said. Well then, I'll see you again at the next break time, Tsukasa! Rui: (We can talk about what I want later.) Tsukasa: The heck?
Kamiyama High School Class 2-A Rui: Hey, thanks for waiting. Here's what you need. Tsukasa: Oh, Rui! Wait, what's that little printer-like device for? Rui: A flyer folding machine I made from the robots I had on hand and equipment borrowed from the school's garbage pile. Rui: Put the machine on the desk and secure this arm to the desk edge. The arm will serve as the tray for folded flyers. Tsukasa: Uh huh... Rui: It uses the robot's battery so you don't have to plug it in. Then, feed the flyer into the insertion part and... Tsukasa: Whoa! The paper got sucked inside! Wow... And it came back out folded in half! Tsukasa: The folded paper landed perfectly inside the arm! No need to worry about them scattering everywhere like that! Rui: Exactly. Basically, all you have to do is feed the paper into the machine. Easy, right? Tsukasa: Yes. Indeed! Rui: Hehe, it's just a simplified version of the folding machines available on the market, but the functionality is there. Only for folding flyers, though. Tsukasa: Not bad at all, Rui! You made this during class just now? Rui: That's right. And I finished it sooner than expected, so I input a paper airplane folding function into the robot's AI as well. Tsukasa: O-Okay. Not sure what that means, but it sounds awesome! Rui: Hehehe. Keep the machine going throughout your classes and the flyers should all be folded by the time school's over. Tsukasa: Got it! Thanks, Rui! Rui: No, thank you for providing a place for the machine! Tsukasa: Huh? You're welcome? Rui: Hehehe... (Rui leaves.) Tsukasa: He usually gives me a hard time because of his strange ideas, but he can be quite helpful when needed, huh? Tsukasa: Now, I just have to feed the flyers into the machine and... Tsukasa: Hm? What a minute. Did he just say I needed to keep the machine going throughout my classes? Tsukasa: He wants me to keep folding the flyers at my seat?! Tsukasa: Ah! That's what he meant by providing a place... C-Curses! Tsukasa: Rui! You little... I can't take my classes like this! Rui: Hehehe...
Kamiyama High School - Courtyard Rui: Oh dear, over here too? I almost missed that one. Tsukasa: Hm? What's Rui doing at the flowerbed... gasp! Tsukasa: Is he already making preparations for another frightful piece of stage direction that he recently dreamed up?! Tsukasa: Hey, Rui! What crazy scheme are you up to this time?! Rui: What is it? Why the terrified look? I'm just pulling weeds, you know? Tsukasa: S-Say what? So, you're trying to do something with weeds? Rui: I'm not doing anything with them. The poor flowers won't get any sun if I don't pull out the weeds, that's all. Tsukasa: What the?! The person who tries to light me on fire or blast me into orbit is feeling sorry for flowers? Tsukasa: You can't possibly be so humane! Rui: That's a lot of ruckus about me just pulling weeds. Tsukasa: Aha! A fever! You must be having an incredibly high fever, right?! Rui: I'm not. I'm only doing what's expected of me. Tsukasa: Ex-Expected?! You being nice to flowers is expected?! Rui: I'm in the greening committee, you know. Wouldn't you expect the greening committee to care for flowers? Tsukasa: Would you expect someone who uses class time to make strange robots to take his committee duties so seriously? Tsukasa: In fact, it'd make more sense if you'd used one of your strange machines to do the job for you, right?! Rui: Yes, that would probably be more efficient. However, you need some delicacy and finesse for this, or you may end up hurting the flowers instead. Tsukasa: You're worried about hurting the flowers?! Rui: Don't you ever get tired of overreacting? Tsukasa: I'm not acting surprised for fun! Tsukasa: No, I still can't believe you're just trying to do committee work. You must be plotting something devious... Rui: Sigh... Ah, by the way, Tsukasa, you're afraid of bugs, right? Tsukasa: Eek! Wh-What do you mean? There's nothing in this world I'm afraid of- Rui: Here! Tsukasa: GYAAAH! Rui: It's just a caterpillar, you don't have to be so... Ah. Tsukasa: Urk! Rui: Wow. That was quite a neat tumble. Tsukasa: ... *twitch* Rui: Sorry I had to knock you off your feet like that. You really should be watching where you go. You almost stepped on that flower, you know. Rui: Now then... I guess you must have fallen out when they were sowing the seeds. Don't grow here all by yourself. Come here instead. Rui: This should be a good place. Tsukasa: Ugh. I was wondering why the sudden attack... You did it for that flower, huh? Rui: I can't possibly watch you stamp on the flower before my very eyes now, can I? Tsukasa: I see... I had no idea you were such a big lover of flowers. I apologize for not believing you. Rui: I'm not bothered by that. And I wouldn't call myself a lover of flowers, really. More like... Tsukasa: Ahh?! Look at what you've done to my uniform! I need to clean off all this mud quickly! Rui: Oh... There he goes. Rui: Looks like Tsukasa hasn't realized just how wonderful all of you are, yet. Rui: How you're able to bring a smile to someone's face by just blooming beautifully right there. Rui: Alright, that's the end of my work on your stage. Rui: Don't stop performing your lovely shows for us here.
Phoenix Wonderland - Wonder Stage Rui: (There's nothing else to do here. I'll just go home.) Rui: (Hmm? Is that Nene singing?) Nene: --♪ Robo-Nene: ... Rui: (She's practicing in front of Robo-Nene?) Rui: (I'm glad that she's not comfortable performing on stage in person but...) Rui: (She always brings Robo-Nene with her, both to our rehearsals and shows. It seems she needs her for reassurance.) Nene: Phew... Nene: I hope you enjoyed my song! Robo-Nene: ... Nene: I'm no longer afraid of performing on stage, but that's only thanks to you, Robo-Nene. Nene: Without you next to me, I lose confidence again... Rui: (Just as I thought...) Rui: (I can't leave it like this.) Rui: Hmm, this explains a lot. Rui: So that's why you kept bringing Robo-Nene here, even though she's already served her original purpose. Nene: Eek! Nene: I... I thought you'd gone home... Rui: Hehe, I do apologize for eavesdropping. Rui: I'm pleased you've been taking such good care of Robo-Nene. Nene: ... Rui: She's already accomplished the mission I had set out for her when I built her... Rui: But it seems it's too early to retire her. She's still needed. Nene: So? Rui: I have a proposition. You would have to let me take her from you for a short while, though. Is that okay? Nene: What are you planning to do? Are you going to modify her? Rui: Not quite. Rui: I'm just going to tweak her a little so that she'll serve you better... Serve us all better, as a member of our troupe and a wonderful addition to our shows. Nene: You mean... You'll make it so that she can perform together with us? Rui: If that is what you want. Is it? Nene: Yes... Rui: Then I'll happily take care of her for you. Rui: How do you envision her role in our shows? Nene: ... Nene: I'd like her to be able to do all sorts of different things together with us. Nene: And have her perform without me having to remotely control her every action. Rui: In that case... I'll have to make her partly autonomous. Rui: I'll install an AI. She'll be able to talk a little. Rui: She would of course need facial and voice recognition software as well. Hmm, I'll have to expand her memory. Rui: It seems I've got my work cut out for me! Nene: You look happy. Rui: I am. I have all these exciting ideas hatching in my head. Rui: I can't wait to test them out... Hehehe... Nene: You're not going to make her into a giant robot, or give her transformation abilities, are you? Rui: Wait and you'll see. Nene: But remember I won't like it if you add an weird functions to her. Rui: Heh, I won't. All new features will be designed specifically to make you and our audience happy!
