Ruiemu

Ruiemu is the het ship between Rui Kamishiro and Emu Ootori from the Project SEKAI fandom.

Canon
Rui and Emu are both members of Wonderlands x Showtime. Often times, Emu tends to visit Kamiyama High to see Rui, Tsukasa and Nene. While Tsukasa and Nene are the two most responsible members of the group, this implies that both Rui and Emu are the least responsible of the unit. The two are able to understand each other, being able to communicate in over-the-top ways while Tsukasa and Nene cannot understand them. The two are very fond of each other, seeing that Rui thinks Emu is "bizarrely wonderful" while Emu thinks that he is fun and very cool. They tend to encourage each other, as Rui supported Emu's goal of restoring the Wonder Stage to its former glory. Emu is often fascinated by Rui's ideas. Rui often asks Emu for ideas, such as naming things and playing music.

Main Story
The two first encounter each other near the end of Chapter 4 of the main story. Emu notices that there were a bunch of robots, with Tsukasa saying that she's saying bizarre things again, then he finally notices the robots. In chapter 5, Emu's amazed by how many little robots were surrounding Rui. Both Tsukasa and Emu are blown away (not literally) by how the drones would work, Emu pointing out that one of the drones had started to fly. Rui continues to act out, stating how the alchemist thought that he wanted to do a performance that also wowed the audience, Emu agreeing with how the alchemist feels. The show suddenly gets interrupted by a security guard yelling, Emu being surprised. The security guard talks about how Rui does shows without permission, Emu being excited and wondering when he's doing a show next time so she can see the rest of the story.

In episode 6, Rui is brought to the Wonder Stage. Emu is amazed how it was the same person who did the same show the previous day, Emu greeting him with a wonderhoy. Rui is impressed by the Wonder Stage, noting how it is old but still well-maintained. Rui notes how Emu was the girl Tsukasa talked about, saying it was a pleasure to meet her. Emu is filled with energy, immediately asking Rui when he was going to do a show and finish off the story from the previous day. He promises Emu that he would resume the show again someday for sure. She asks again to reassure, Rui saying that he definitely will. Emu introduces herself and Rui is surprised that her last name is Ootori. Emu tells Rui that she wanted to use the "whatchamacallit" that flies through the air in their show, Rui agreeing that she may use the drone for the show. She asks if Rui can make the drone fly like "swish swish" to which Rui is fascinated that Emu wants to make it fly like a shooting star and notes that it would be interesting. Emu asks if it would be fun to fly like "flah flah" and Rui brings up how she meant how a blue admiral flies and notes how the movements were quite artistic.

In episode 7, Tsukasa doubts that Nenerobo can do any performance at all. Rui suggests that they show off the dance movements, functions and techniques, asking Emu to turn on some music with her happily agreeing. In episode 8, the group is attempting to come up with a name. Rui asks Emu to come up with a name for the unit since he believes that the name that Tsukasa had come up with was "lame". Emu suggests the name "Sunshine World's Sunny-Sunny Power" and "Flower Garden's World Bloomy-Bloom". Rui suggests that they use the feeling of a wonderland being any kind of world and a show that makes people smile to come up with a name and asks if Emu would like to create a name that reflects that feeling. Nene suggests the name "Wonderlands Showtime", Emu writing down Wonderlands x Showtime. Rui likes the name, stating that intuition was important.

In episode 9, Rui states that he wants to drop a thunderbolt. Emu thinks that the idea is so cool and Rui agrees.
