@blackrobe You say that but unless it was redrawn by the scanlators to fit a joke in English then it's likely not going for 'rock-star'. I'd honestly say it looks more like a blueberry since there seems to be a blue scribble over it but it could also be a persimmon or another fruit.

I thought it was an orange. Let me go see if I could understand the raws

Edit: nope. I can read it but I don't get it. I'll ask my friend who speaks Japanese when he gets online.

Are we thinking too hard? After all it fell flat even with the people who should understand it/the characters.

Japanese-speaking friend to the rescue! It's a pun between "leaving the nest" (sudachi 巣立ち) and sudachi, (酢橘) a Japanese fruit.
@Kayriel @Nintendocat @Blackrobe @ninjakai03

The scanlation group probably put the dash in "fly-me" to make it sound like "lime"; but since the "E" in "me" is pronounced I think it was just too much of a stretch.

@Choco_Pudding thank you and your friend for the explanation! I did guess it was a pun with the kanji reading and that it probably was impossible to translate I feel for the scanlators, but it's nice to know :)
