The Rabbit and Goddess of the Moon Ep. 3
Riko
*Huff* *Huff* *Huff* *Huff*
[Fade in/out.]
Riko
*Huff* *Huff* Huh? What is this place?
Riko
Looks like I got split up from everyone on our search for the rabbit. But there sure is a lot of pampas grass around here. Was there always a place like this so nearby?
Shizuku
Riko.
Riko
Oh, Shizuku! Thank goodness! I thought I'd gotten lost.
Riko
Hang on. Um, Shizuku? What's with that on your head? Are those rabbit ears?
Shizuku
Riko. I am not Shizuku.
Riko
Excuse me?
Shizuku
I am Hoppy, the rabbit from a little earlier.
Riko
H-Hoppy?
Shizuku
Yes. I actually have a dilemma of my own and I have brought you here to the Moon World in order to seek your assistance.
Riko
The Moon World?
Shizuku
I do not expect you to believe me so easily after having all of this sprung upon you.
Shizuku
It probably does appear rather strange to you that I have assumed the form of Shizuku after being a rabbit not long ago.
Shizuku
I am actually a spirit of the Moon World. Spirits do not take on specific shapes. Much like winds rustling across the fields, we are not visible to the human eye.
Shizuku
As such, I have borrowed the form of your friend. Therefore, I may look like Shizuku, but I am not her.
Shizuku
I am a spirit of the Moon World who has assumed the form of Shizuku!
Riko
I-I see…
Shizuku
Riko, our situation on the Moon World is dire. You are the only person who can resolve it! Please find it in your heart to lend us your assistance!
Riko
…
Shizuku
Please, I beg of you! You are the only person we can rely on!
Riko
…You really are good at that.
Shizuku
Huh?
Riko
I'd expect no less of an aspiring actress. I was totally captivated.
Riko
There's a type of performance that involves the audience as well, right? “Immersive theater,” I think? Is that the kind of act you're putting on right now?
Shizuku
…
Shizuku
It appears as though you do not understand.
Riko
No? So what kind of act is this?
Shizuku
This is no act! All of this is real!
Shizuku
Riko, there are some people I would like you to meet. I know you will believe everything I am saying once you meet them!
Shizuku
Come right this way!
Riko
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Huh, what?! Shizuku, don't drag meee!
