Tsukasa

Listen

A clear blue sky... What a beautifully sunny day!
I couldn't have asked for better running conditions!
3

Tsukasa

Listen

I need to keep building up my stamina in order to get the most out of my training at Morinomiya.
4

Tsukasa

Listen

(I had quite a lot of confidence in my endurance, but I still pale in comparison to the boys enrolled there.)
5

Tsukasa

Listen

(I have to keep trying, and build the proficiency to properly play any role I am given.)
6

Tsukasa

Listen

Alright, I'll finish this leg and keep going all out during my next exercise...!

<Let's go, Tsukasa!
You can do it, Tsukasa♪>

Ah, if it isn't Miku!
What brings you here?
10

Miku

Listen

<So, the others and I are spending today cheering on everyone from Wonderlands×Showtime♪>
11

Miku

Listen

<We know you guys all work really hard studying and practicing during your days off, so we're gonna give you lots of support☆>
12

Miku

Listen

<So! Let's go, Tsukasa♪>
13

Tsukasa

Listen

Hah hah hah! Now I understand.
Thank you, Miku. I'm feeling more motivated already!
14

Miku

Listen

<Really?!>
15

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes! I was actually just about to wrap up my run, but I'm thinking about doing an extra lap now...
16

???

Listen

M-Meow...
17

Tsukasa

Listen

Hm...?
18

Miku

Listen

<Oh, Tsukasa, did you hear that just now?!>
19

Tsukasa

Listen

You heard it as well? What do you think it—
20

???

Listen

Meowww...
21

Miku

Listen

<There it is again! It sounds like...>
22

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, a cat...
But it doesn't sound all that well...
23

Tsukasa

Listen

What if it's in trouble...?
We need to find it!
24

Miku

Listen

<Right! Let's see... I think it might be over there!>
25

Tsukasa

Listen

Alright, let's go!

Tsukasa

Listen

This seems like the right spot...

Miku

Listen

<Tsukasa! Tsukasa! Look at the pond over there!>
28

Cat

Listen

Meow...
29

Tsukasa

Listen

Oh no...
He's gotten himself stuck on one of the stepping stones...!

Miku

Listen

<He looks so scared...
Please, Tsukasa, you gotta save him!>
31

Tsukasa

Listen

That's the plan!
I just need to find a place where I can jump close enough to him...
32

Tsukasa

Listen

(No, I'm not seeing any good spots. And the stone he's on is too small for me to jump to directly. I'd surely scare him if I were to slip and fall in...)
33

Tsukasa

Listen

(Isn't there any other way...?)
34

Miku

Listen

<I know! What if you showed him what to do?>
35

Tsukasa

Listen

Showed him?
36

Miku

Listen

<Yeah! You can show him what he's gotta do to get back to land safely!>
37

Miku

Listen

<KAITO and the others model stuff for me all the time when we're practicing☆>
38

Tsukasa

Listen

I see. That may be worth a try...
39

Tsukasa

Listen

I don't know if I'll succeed...
But I may be able to help him if I put my acting skills on full display!
40

Tsukasa

Listen

You there, cat!
41

Cat

...?
42

Tsukasa

Listen

Listen up. Watch what I'm about to do.
You need to jump! Like...!

Tsukasa

He looks confused...
47

Tsukasa

Listen

But he might understand if I keep trying.
So, let me try that again!

Miku

<Oh, his name is Nyantaro☆>
65

Miku

Listen

<Hehe. I'm so glad that you're smiling now, Nyantaro♪>
66

Tsukasa

Listen

Actually, I just decided to name him that...
67

Tsukasa

Listen

Hm? What's this shape on your back...?
68

Tsukasa

Listen

It's a star! I couldn't tell earlier since you were too far away... That's incredible, Nyantaro!

Hey, wait...!
71

Miku

Listen

<There he goes...>
72

Tsukasa

Listen

Well, he lost interest rather quickly...
73

Tsukasa

Listen

However, as short as that interaction was, we became friends by accomplishing something together. Let us wish him the best in life!
74

Tsukasa

Listen

Be strong, Nyantaro!
75

Miku

Listen

<Bye bye!>
76

Cat

Listen

Meow...!
77

Miku

Listen

<Hehe. He replied back♪>
78

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, and he sounded incredibly happy!
79

Tsukasa

Listen

Anyway, now that Nyantaro is safely back on dry land, we should get back to what we were doing!

Miku

Listen

<Right! I'm gonna cheer you on like crazy☆>

Airi

Listen

This way, Mizuki!
I'm starting to see the Ferris wheel!
82

Airi

Listen

The gondolas are supposed to be really cute, but we still can't see them very well from this far... We gotta get closer...!

83

Mizuki

Listen

You're walking so fast, Airi!
Also, you seem way too excited today!
84

Airi

Listen

Of course I'm excited! I mean, today...
85

Airi

Listen

We get to visit a cat-themed carnival!
86

Airi

Listen

Just the thought of going to a carnival is fun, but this one's all about cats...! It's like a dream come true for me, you know?
87

Airi

Listen

From what we saw on social media, the Ferris wheel and all their other attractions have cats all over them. Which means...
88

Airi

Listen

It's guaranteed to be adorable...!!!
89

Mizuki

Listen

I see what you mean!
And I know just how much you love cats, Airi.
90

Airi

Listen

Exactly!
As much as I want to pet or hold real ones, I can't...
91

Airi

Listen

That's why I absolutely have to check out this carnival. I'll get to be around cats with none of the health risks, so it's going to be like paradise...!
92

Mizuki

Listen

Hehe. Then, let's have as much fun as we can today♪
93

Airi

Listen

Yeah! The carnival should be just through this park...
94

???

Listen

Heeeeeeey!!!

Nyantarooooooo!!!!!
Where are yoooou?!
