Critical JACKPOT/Câu chuyện

## Singapore, tại công viên động vật hoang dã River Safari

 **Saori:**Hm-hmm-hmm♪

 **Dalia:**You're sure in a good mood, Saori.

 **Saori:**Hm? What makes you say that? I feel pretty much normal.

 **Dalia:**(Guess she doesn't notice how much she's humming.)

 **Marika:**Hey, Saori. We're heading to a wildlife park, right? What kind of animals do they have there?

 **Saori:**It's mostly ones that live in and around rivers.

 **Saori:**Catfish, turtles, stuff like that. Maybe some snakes, too.

 **Marika:**Aw, isn't there anything more, y'know, cute?

 **Dalia:**Hey, reptiles are cute. They just take some getting used to.

 **Rika:**I'll take casinos over reptiles any day... Not like that's gonna happen, though...

 **Saori:**Heheh, don't you worry. I've got our itinerary all planned out.

 **Saori:**We'll be able to see lots of different animals. But let me know if you get tired, okay?

 **Saori:**We can take a break anytime. I've even picked out some cool restaurants and cafes!

 **Dalia:**Wow, you're really serious about this.

 **Saori:**I am? I dunno, I'd say this is normal for me.

 **Dalia:**Really...?

 **Dalia:**Well, so long as you're having a good time.

 **Saori:**All right, follow me. It's this way!

 **Rika:**Woah, look at that crocodile! It's like a mini dinosaur or something!

 **Dalia:**Looks like Rika's cheered up a little. The itinerary of yours is working wonders, Saori!

 **Saori:**Huh? I don't know about that...

 **Marika:**There's all kinds of different crocs, too. That one with the long, thin jaw's pretty cute.

 **Saori:**That's probbaly a gavial. The guidebook's got a lot of facts about them. It got me curious to see the real thing!

 **Dalia:**You're a master of research, Saori!

 **Saori:**Nah, anyone could do this...

 **Rika:**(heheh, she sounds so flattered!)

 **Saori:**We're heading into the forest area next.

 **Saori:**Marika, take a look over there. I think you'll see something cute.

 **Marika:**...Oh!

 **Marika:**Omigosh♪ That's a red panda, right? It is cute! Super cute!

 **Saori:**I know, I know. But try not to yell too loud. You're gonna frighten the animals.

 **Saori:**And, don't run off! You might get lost.

 **Marika:**Yes, ma'am♪

 **Saori:**The main event is yet to come... After this, we're going to see giant pandas!

 **Saori:**I picked out this route especially. It's the best way to maximize the fun we have! Just sit back and enjoy the ride!

 **Dalia:**Okay, sounds good.

 **Rika:**Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to it.

 **Marika:**(I think Saori's more excited than any of us.)

 **Rika:**(I don't buy her act, either. She's obviously having a blast!)

 **Dalia:**(Yeah, but don't call her out on it. I'd hate to ruin her good mood.

 **Saori:**Come on guys, keep up.

 **Marika:**Coming! We'll be right there!

 **Marika:**Boy, I can't wait to see those pandas.

 **Saori:**Right? Heheh...

 **Saori:**They're probably just up ahead... Ah!

 **Saori:**Pandas!

 **Saori:**Look, guys! They're pandas! Real live pandas!

 **Rika:**We see 'em.

 **Dalia:**We finally got to see them. That's good.

 **Marika:**Yep! They sure are cute♪

 **Marika:**Why don't I take a pic of you with them, Saori?

 **Saori:**Just me? Shouldn't we do it together?

 **Rika:**Nah, you take the spotlight on this one. Go stand over there.

 **Dalia:**I'll take one from a different angle, too.

 **Saori:**Well, if you're sure...

 **Marika:**Okay, here we go. Say cheese!

 **Rika:**Look over this way, too! Smile!

 **Saori:**Phew. I think that's it for the wildlife park.

 **Saori:**We sure saw a lot of animals today. What did you guys think was the cutest?

 **Rika:**Hmm... I wonder?

 **Dalia:**I think we're all going to have the same answer.

 **Marika:**Me too.

 **Saori:**Huh. Really? How about we all say it together, then?

 **Saori:**Ready? One, two, three...

 **Rika, Marika, Dalia:**Saori!

 **Saori:**Huh...? Wait, what?!
