Rui

Listen

(Another day of high-intensity lessons.)
2

Rui

Listen

(I'm so grateful that I get to learn so much about theatre from the fundamentals.)
3

Rui

Listen

(Whether that's techniques unique to acting while singing or playing female characters...)
4

Rui

Listen

(Doing things that I normally don't get to will not only help me communicate better with actors, but also broaden my perspective as a director.)
5

Rui

Listen

(I have to think Emu is also learning quite a lot about the operational side of—)
6

???

Listen

Oh! Ruiiiiii!

Rui

Listen

Huh?

Emu

Listen

I had a feeling it was you! Did you have a wonderhoy day?!
9

Rui

Listen

Hello, Emu.
Are you also on your way home?
10

Emu

Listen

Yup! I learned a lot again today☆
11

Emu

Listen

Huh?
Where's Tsukasa? Is he not with you?
12

Rui

Listen

He said he's going to practice on his own for a bit in order to master what we covered in class today as quickly as possible.
13

Emu

Listen

Really...?! Nene's doing the same thing!
She just sent me a message saying that she's also gonna practice on her own!
14

Emu

Listen

That means I need to keep learning as much as I can too!
15

Rui

Listen

Hehe. And I'm sure you will.
16

Rui

Listen

By the way, Emu, what have you been learning about recently?
17

Emu

Listen

Oh, so they showed me around the theatre and...

Emu

Listen

Really?! You guys got to practice that today?!
19

Rui

Listen

Yes.
Ballet's intriguing since the elegant movements can surely be applied to quite a number of situations.
20

Rui

Listen

Tsukasa even said that he'd like to try using some during our next show.
21

Emu

Listen

Our next show...? Oh, the one we're gonna do at the ski resort?! I really love the story you came up with for that, Rui☆
22

Emu

Listen

I can't wait since it's been so long since the last time we did a show together♪
23

Rui

Listen

Hehe. Yes, it has.
24

Rui

Listen

We'll need to thank your brothers once again for giving us this wonderful opportunity.

Rui

Listen

A show on the slope of a ski resort...?

26

Keisuke

Listen

Yes, it's a subsidiary of the Otori Group, and they're apparently going to put on a Christmas show for children.
27

Keisuke

Listen

A few cast members from Phoenix Wonderland are scheduled to perform...
28

Keisuke

Listen

But the resort specifically asked for you to direct the show.
29

Rui

Listen

I'm honored, but... Why me?
30

Shosuke

Listen

Apparently, the owner of the resort has seen your troupe perform.
31

Shosuke

Listen

And he particularly enjoyed the stage effects.
32

Rui

Listen

I see. That explains the situation.
33

Keisuke

Listen

Of course, you don't have to accept since we know you're all busy right now with your Morinomiya lessons.
34

Rui

Listen

I appreciate the concern...
But I'd like to accept this offer.
35

Rui

Listen

I haven't been getting many chances to direct lately. And more importantly, it's not every day that you get to put on a show at a ski resort.
36

Rui

Listen

I'm looking forward to this opportunity since I gained many new perspectives in terms of directing the last time I did this.
37

Keisuke

Listen

I see...
Then, I'll let them know that you're accepting their offer.
38

Rui

Listen

Thank you very much.
Oh, while we're on the subject...
39

Rui

Listen

Would it be possible for me and the others to accept this offer as Wonderlands×Showtime?
40

Shosuke

Listen

As Wonderlands×Showtime?
41

Rui

Listen

Yes, since the others also stand to benefit from the experience of performing at such a unique place.
42

Shosuke

Listen

Right...
43

Keisuke

Listen

Understood. Then, I'll see what they say about it.
44

Keisuke

Listen

They'll likely need some time to respond, so we'll let you know when we hear back from them.
45

Rui

Listen

Of course. Thank you very much.
46

Rui

Listen

I promise to make the most of this wonderful opportunity I've been given.
47

Rui

Listen

Now that Tsukasa and Nene have also agreed to be in it, I'm looking forward to this show even more...

48

Rui

Listen

Not to mention that it's been quite a while since I last directed a show, so there's a long list of things I've been wanting to try... Hehe. Think about all the possibilities.
49

Emu

Listen

Hehe. You sound all fired up, Rui!
50

Emu

Listen

By the way, have you already figured out a plan for this show?
51

Rui

Listen

I'm still coming up with ideas...
We'll be doing it on the evening of Christmas Day, so my goal is to make it feel like a dreamlike experience.
52

Rui

Listen

In particular, I'd like to make the climax an unforgettable moment...
53

Rui

Listen

I'm currently thinking about using lanterns to create a mystical atmosphere.
54

Emu

Listen

Lanterns...!
I bet it's gonna look sparkly, glowy and really pretty...
55

Emu

Listen

Let me know if you need me to help you with anything! I promise to work super duper hard on stage and behind the scenes when the day comes☆
56

Rui

Listen

Thank you. I appreciate the offer.
57

Rui

Listen

Let's all do our best to make our show a wonderful Christmas present for our audience.
58

Emu

Listen

Yeah!
