I'm looking forward to seeing the results of all your hard work, Wonderlands×Showtime!

Kijima

Listen

So, feel free to start whenever you're ready!

Okay!

Tsukasa

Listen

We're doing our play from start to finish this time! Let's put on the best performance we possibly can!

Your scene is first, right, Nene?
Break a leg!

Thanks...!

Nene

Listen

(Good. My training's coming in handy...!)
10

Nene

Listen

(I feel stronger compared to before.
Even when I'm bumped around, I'm easily able to maintain my balance.)
11

Nene

Listen

(I'm honor-bound as the wife of a Minamoto, and have a duty to protect my children...)
12

Nene

Listen

(I need to send that message loud and clear!)
13

Tsukasa

Listen

“Drop your katana and leave this place!
Only then shall I spare your life!”
14

Nene

Listen

This is it. Our play's climax.
15

Nene

Listen

I hope Mr. Kijima approves of Emu's portrayal...
16

Rui

Listen

There are no right answers when it comes to acting, but...
17

Rui

Listen

Emu put an enormous amount of thought into this role, so let's trust her judgment.
18

Tsukasa

Listen

“What nonsense do you speak?!
If you refuse to surrender, then it is my naginata you shall face...!”
19

Tsukasa

Listen

*Roar*

“Hey, now.”

22

Emu

Listen

(Yes, all that practice I did is paying off! I'm moving a lot more like Mr. Kijima did that time. I feel really relaxed!)
23

Emu

Listen

(By dodging like he's dancing, I can show everyone just how much fun Ushiwakamaru's having right now.)
24

Emu

Listen

(But...)
25

Emu

Listen

(This isn't enough...!)

26

Emu

Listen

(Everyone's supposed to be giggling and snickering as they watch...)
27

Emu

Listen

(What I think Ushiwakamaru's feeling in this moment...)
28

Emu

Listen

(I need to make that really clear to everyone!)
29

Tsukasa

Listen

“Quit fooling around!
You are a mere child... But if you are going to call yourself a warrior, then unsheathe your katana and fight me!”
30

Emu

Listen

“Saying that only makes me want to take you even less seriously. Oh, missed me... Missed again...”

Rin

Listen

Really? He's feeling mischievous?
I totally thought Ushiwakamaru was just having a lot of fun battling against Benkei.
32

Keisuke

Listen

Yes, I agree that you might want to make things easier for the audience. What if you paused for a moment in order to size up your opponent...?
33

Emu

Listen

(I have to take what everyone else saw and felt more into consideration. And then...!)

34

Emu

Listen

(After I dodge his naginata, I'll put some space between us.)
35

Emu

Listen

(And Benkei will take another big swing at me with it.)
36

Tsukasa

Listen

“You insolent little...!”
37

Emu

Listen

(Mr. Kijima looked really relaxed during this part. Like nothing bothered him at all.)
38

Emu

Listen

(But I'm gonna...)
39

Kijima

Listen

(Hm...? She's smiling...)

Tsukasa

Listen

“Hiyah!!!”

41

Kijima

Listen

(She dodged it...!
Just barely too...!)
42

Kijima

Listen

(A few centimeters in the other direction and she would've gotten hit. Why is she cutting things so close...?)

Tsukasa

“Grr...!”

Kijima

Now I see...
45

Emu

Listen

(I'm gonna keep dodging at the last second while maintaining eye contact with Benkei.)
46

Emu

Listen

(As Benkei realizes that Ushiwakamaru isn't taking him seriously, he starts swinging faster and faster.)
47

Emu

Listen

(But Ushiwakamaru's just gonna keep drawing him closer and then dodging with ease. That's because...)
48

Emu

Listen

(It's way too fun to see Benkei swing his naginata around after getting so angry!)

Emu

(Slip behind Benkei's back and say...!)

53

Emu

Listen

“Well, that was a bit of an ordeal...
But teasing a ruffian such as yourself has been far too much fun.”
54

Emu

Listen

“Which means teasing an even bigger buffoon would be just that much more fun, no...?”
55

Tsukasa

Listen

“Wh-What are you saying?”
56

Emu

Listen

“I have no interest in restoring the Minamoto clan to its former glory, but making a plaything of brutes such as yourself is all too enticing.”
57

Emu

Listen

“So, shall we go stir things up in this world a little?”
58

Emu

Listen

“Your name is Benkei, correct...?
Come with me. You will surely enjoy what we are going to see together.”
59

Kijima

Listen

(Interesting...)
60

Kijima

Listen

(So this is the answer Otori arrived upon...)
61

Kijima

Listen

Alright, great performance!
62

Kijima

Listen

You've all made significant progress compared to when you first started. Your hard work has definitely paid off!
63

Tsukasa

Listen

Thank you very much!
64

Emu

Listen

U-Umm...!
65

Emu

Listen

How did I do...?
Were you able to see what my Ushiwakamaru was thinking and feeling?
66

Kijima

Listen

About that...
67

Kijima

Listen

Yeah, I heard you loud and clear!

You really put your Ushiwakamaru's mischievousness on full display!

Emu

Listen

Oh, thank you so much...!
70

Nene

Listen

That's great, Emu...
71

Emu

Listen

Thanks!
72

Emu

Listen

(I was able to get my message across.)
73

Emu

Listen

(He understood what my Ushiwakamaru was thinking and feeling...!)
74

Emu

Listen

(Also, compared to before, I feel like I can see what other people are thinking as they watch a lot better now...)
75

Emu

Listen

(What it's like to be a member of the audience going to see a show. When they smile, when they cry, when they laugh...)
76

Kijima

Listen

Alright, so... That concludes this rendition of Ushiwakamaru, Wonderlands×Showtime!
77

Kijima

Listen

Let's all do our best as we work on our next production together!
78

Tsukasa

Listen

Does that mean...?
79

Kijima

Listen

Yeah, I have no complaints regarding your acting skills! And you all put in an incredible amount of effort this past month!
80

Tsukasa

Listen

We did it, Emu!
81

Emu

Listen

Y-Yeah! Thank goodness too...!
82

Rui

Listen

Hehe. We probably wouldn't have been able to achieve this result if it weren't for all your hard work, Emu.
83

Nene

Listen

Sorry, have you already decided what your next production is going to be about...?
84

Kijima

Listen

No, not yet.
But we do have a venue lined up...
85

Kijima

Listen

Hah hah hah! I hope you're all ready for this.
86

Kijima

Listen

Mikazukigumi and Wonderlands×Showtime will be performing at the one and only...

THE Jidaigeki Studio Park?!?!?!
