Emu
I kind of want to keep doing more... Hey! Why don't we get a head start on what we're doing tomorrow!
Nene
That means we have to do two days worth of practice and rehearsals every day from now on...
Rui
But the next show is the last one for the Show Contest. It would be nice to put as much effort as we can into it.
Nene
Yeah, you might be right. I'd be okay with our audience simply enjoying the show, but...
Nene
We've made it this far, so I guess we should try to outdo the Phoenix Stage troupe and win it all.
Tsukasa
Precisely! This contest is our chance to make Wonderlands×Showtime known throughout the world!
Tsukasa
That brings me to my next point. I'd like to have a discussion about the program tomorrow!
Tsukasa
Indeed. I've already talked this over with Rui, but I think the program this time around should include as many ideas as possible.
Mascot
I received word that your brothers will be returning home sooner than expected and I thought that I should inform you.

Emu
Umm... My oldest brother is all rules, rules, rules, and my other brother is like a prickly pear!
Emu
But my big brothers help run this park, so they're always out late going to dinner meetings and parties and stuff...
Nene
They run this... Wait, Emu. Does that mean your big brother's the president of Phoenix Wonderland...?
Rui
I see. But it's also not surprising that members of the Otori family would be in these kinds of positions as well.
Tsukasa
In any case, if they're not usually around all that much, why not go home and see them, Emu?

When was the last time we all sat down and had dinner together? Tonight, you can relax a little.

Emu, this marinade turned out really well! The head chef himself even recommended it, so you should try some.

It's a shame that Mother couldn't be here today, but her volunteer work in Cambodia will keep her there well into next week so...
Keisuke
About our plans for next quarter. We are still planning on installing new rides and attractions moving forward.
Keisuke
We are. Our current situation limits how many visitors the park can gather and accommodate.
Keisuke
The Show Contest helped briefly boost those numbers, but it's hard to believe that it'll ever end up being a long-term solution.

Keisuke
The park has ten stages of various sizes in total, but not all of them are contributing to the figures we've been seeing.
Keisuke
Naturally, each troupe is compensated for their efforts. However, in order to see if they're actually pulling their weight and attracting visitors, we came up with the Show Contest.
Shosuke
We're the ones operating the park now. We won't stay afloat if we keep sticking to that geezer's ideas.
Emu
I mean, I have some ideas too... Like having some days where adults can go on the kiddy rides maybe?
Emu
That way, the people that came when they were kids can come back and relive their experiences from back then! Or how about doing shows in front of the station and...
Shosuke
Father may've let you keep your precious stage, but don't let that get to your head...!
