Wonderland SEKAI
Emu
Ahoy, KAITO! I came to play!
Tsukasa
We're not here to play. We're here to prac... Emu, wait! Don't run off like that!
KAITO
Hehe. Welcome to SEKAI. You all seem like you're full of energy today.
Rin
Hi, everyone☆
Rui
Hello. We'd like to try something out for a show, if you don't mind that is.
Len
Of course! I'm curious to see what you're gonna do!
Miku
This is so exciting☆
Nene
It's just gonna be something way too crazy again, though...
Tsukasa
Alright, let's get started!
KAITO, may we use the stage...?
KAITO, may we use the stage...?
KAITO
Oh, before you do, I'd like to introduce a new troupe member.
Emu
What?! Someone new?!
What are they like?!
What are they like?!
Miku
Umm... Well, they're super laid-back♪
Nene
Laid-back...?
Len
MEIKO just went to get them so...
Oh, there they are!
Oh, there they are!
MEIKO
We're here, everyone!
Thanks for waiting!
Thanks for waiting!
Luka
Huff... MEIKO... You didn't have to sprint like that...
Tsukasa
Wha...?! Megurine Luka...?!
Luka
Oh? You must be the ones...
Luka
...
Emu
Hm?
Luka
Zzz...
Nene
S-She fell asleep...?!
Rui
Sleeping while standing is a very unique skill. I believe zebras do that as well.
MEIKO
Oh! Luka, wake up! Everyone's here!
Luka
Zzz... Hm?
MEIKO
No, don't talk in your sleep!
Len
Hahaha. Well, that's Luka for you.
Rui
Hehehe. This SEKAI just keeps getting livelier and livelier.
Emu
Hey! Since Luka's here now, we should all do something fun together!
Len
Yeah, good idea!
Rin
Yeah! Me too♪
KAITO
I'm all for that!
But what should we do...?
But what should we do...?
MEIKO
Something really spectacular, I say!
Miku
Okay. Something super spectacular...
Miku
Oh, how about a really big party☆
Tsukasa
A party...? Then how about a Doll Festival party?
Tsukasa
My sister is having one with her friends as well, and it's bound to be a blast!
Miku
A Doll Festival party?!
That sounds like fun♪
That sounds like fun♪
Len
But what do you do during the Doll Festival?
Nene
Umm... It's a festival for girls that you celebrate on March 3rd every year.
Emu
We all get out our special dolls, eat chirashi sushi, drink amazake and party together☆
Len
A festival for girls, huh? That makes Luka the perfect candidate to be our lead!
Luka
Yawn... Okay...
Emu
Then a party on March 3rd it is!
Tsukasa
Oh, but I won't be able to make it. Just as I mentioned, my sister is having her party then as well, so I'll be with her then!
Emu
Nooo! If you can't come, Tsukasa, then we can have it on another day...
Tsukasa
Ah, but a Doll Festival party should be held on the day of, so don't mind me. Try to have fun with everyone else, okay?
Emu
But... But... Okay, I guess it is a special day for Saki too so...
Rui
There isn't much we can do.
Rui
Oh, however... I could make you a device that lets you hear Tsukasa's voice each time you press its button, Emu.
Emu
Really?! Yay! Then it'll be like Tsukasa's here too☆
Nene
Wait, you're just replacing him with a soundboard...
Tsukasa
You guys...!
Emu
Hehehe☆ Since it's the Doll Festival, it'd be nice to have lots of dolls here too♪
Nene
Dolls, huh...?
Nene
I remember breaking a few of them and having Rui fix them for me.
Rui
Oh, that did happen.
Tsukasa
You can fix those dolls too? I suppose I should expect no less from you, Rui.
Nene
I just had him patch them up before my parents found out.
Nene
But they caught me after they started flashing lights, flying and singing in the middle of the night.
Rui
I did get a little carried away that time.
Emu
That's amazing! I wish my dolls could fly too, Nene!
Nene
Uh, I don't think those dolls are really meant to do that...
Miku
Do you have these dolls at your house too, Emu?
Emu
Yup! For me and my big sister!
Emu
That's why we have two sets♪
Miku
Wow! You really do all have them! We wanna have a party with those dolls too☆
Len
Me too! We can even put them on display using the stage!
Rin
Yeah! Our dolls are gonna shine in the spotlight♪
MEIKO
Oh, in that case, we can have it fully illuminated! A disco ball may do nicely too!
Nene
This might get out of control if we leave them to their own devices...
Rui
Hehe. It sure might...
Emu
Yeah! And it sounds super fun! Let's help them!
Tsukasa
I do have Saki's party to attend to...
But I can at least help set things up.
But I can at least help set things up.
Emu
Luka! Let's make it a really amazing party♪
Luka
Hehehe. Thank you, Emu.
Luka
If we can have some of those cute dolls here, I'm sure it'll turn into a great party.
Nene
Yeah, you'll need a set of dolls so...
Tsukasa
Oh...
KAITO
Then as part of welcoming Luka into our troupe, let's start planning our Doll Festival party!
Rin
Yay!
Rin
So Luka, what kind of party...?
Luka
Zzz...
Rin
Huh?! She fell asleep again?!
Miku
And she's sleeping like a baby☆
Tsukasa
(Needing those dolls...)
Tsukasa
(Right! I'll just have to go forward with that plan then...!!)
