Tsukasa

Listen

Alright, I believe we all have a copy of the script.
2

Mizuki

Listen

Wow, it's bound and everything...!
3

Airi

Listen

It really feels like we're getting ready to do a show now.
4

Tsukasa

Listen

I'm sorry for asking you both to also appear in the show. I know you're very busy fixing the costumes...
5

Mizuki

Listen

Not a problem! I'm actually really happy about getting to do a show with you again, Tsukasa. I mean, the one we did at the chocolate factory was so much fun!
6

Nene

Listen

While we're on the subject, Momoi, are you going to be okay? You also have your group to think about...
7

Airi

Listen

Oh, that won't be an issue.
The others gave me the green light after I told them about Mr. Inuyama.
8

Airi

Listen

They told me to go out there and do my best since they understand what I want to do.
9

Nene

Listen

I see...
I'm glad to hear that.
10

Tsukasa

Listen

Anyway, let's start going over the story!
11

Mizuki

Listen

It's based on the synopsis Mr. Inuyama gave us the other day, right? A feline hero protects a carnival...?
12

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes. It takes place at a carnival which has a large Ferris wheel as its main attraction...

13

Tsukasa

Listen

The story revolves around our hero, Nyantaro, taking part in an epic battle against a pair of mischievous cat sisters.
14

Airi

Listen

An epic battle? I don't remember it being quite so dramatic...
15

Tsukasa

Listen

The sisters showed up at the carnival one day and began pulling pranks on all the guests.
16

Tsukasa

Listen

Nyantaro brought them to justice each time, but that did nothing to deter them from coming back time and again...
17

Tsukasa

Listen

Then, one day, the sisters come up with the most dastardly plan imaginable...!
18

Nene

Listen

They stop the Ferris wheel, right?
19

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, and it saddens many of the guests since it's the carnival's main attraction.
20

Tsukasa

Listen

When the sisters run off with the control switch, Nyantaro gives chase in order to get the carnival guests smiling once more...
21

Tsukasa

Listen

The sisters are quick, and they don't make it easy, but Nyantaro does manage to catch them and reactivate the Ferris wheel.
22

Tsukasa

Listen

The sisters finally see the error of their ways, and the guests return to smiling. The end!
23

Mizuki

Listen

Man, the climax sounds really exciting!
24

Mizuki

Listen

And I can't wait to see how Nyantaro chases after those sisters!
25

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, by the way, Mr. Inuyama played the lead during his carnival's opening celebration.
26

Mizuki

Listen

Wait, really?!
27

Nene

Listen

Hang on a second... Do you think the Nyantaro in this show is based off the real Nyantaro?
28

Tsukasa

Listen

No, they apparently put on this show around twenty years ago...
29

Tsukasa

Listen

Which means Nyantaro was named after the hero from this story.
30

Airi

Listen

I see...
In other words, he's the embodiment of some really precious memories.
31

Mizuki

Listen

Mr. Inuyama must've loved this show a lot...
32

Tsukasa

Listen

*Nod*
And that's a powerful source of motivation!
33

Mizuki

Listen

Definitely! We've gotta make this the best show ever!
34

Airi

Listen

Yeah, let's do our best!
What do you need us to do next, Tenma?
35

Tsukasa

Listen

Ah, we need to decide roles now.
36

Tsukasa

Listen

Starting with Nyantaro.

37

Tsukasa

Listen

Alright, we all have our roles now.
38

Tsukasa

Listen

The protagonist, Nyantaro, will be played by... Me, Tsukasa Tenma!
39

Mizuki

Listen

As for the cat sisters, Airi will play the older one and Kusanagi will play the younger one.
40

Airi

Listen

I'm really looking forward to working with you, Kusanagi! I can't wait for you to teach me more about acting like you did during Shibu Schools Fest!
41

Nene

Listen

Y-Yes, I'm also looking forward to working with you...!
42

Tsukasa

Listen

And you'll be playing one of the carnival's guests, Akiyama. Although, it is a tad unfortunate that you're going to be all by yourself...
43

Mizuki

Listen

Hmm... Yeah...
44

Mizuki

Listen

My plan's to pull out all the stops and really act out having a fun day, but I feel like I can only do so much on my own...
45

Mizuki

Listen

If only we had at least one more person.
Isn't there anyone we can ask...?
46

Tsukasa

Listen

Good question.
Unfortunately, Rui and Emu are busy that day, and I'm not sure who else could help us...
47

Airi

Listen

Actually, I think I know just the person to ask...
48

Nene

Listen

Huh?
49

Airi

Listen

When I told the others in my group about this, Minori's eyes lit up and she said, “Doing a show with them sounds like so much fun!”
50

Airi

Listen

She even said that she wants to help out in any way she can, so we could have her join the cast.
51

Tsukasa

Listen

Oh, Hanasato, you say?!
She's sort of my dance student...
It'd be great to have her on board!
52

Mizuki

Listen

I'd also love to work with Minori!
If anything, I should be the one asking her to join us since she's my favorite idol...!
53

Airi

Listen

Hehe. Then, I'll try asking her.
54

Mizuki

Listen

Hehehe. This is gonna be so much fun♪
55

Nene

Listen

That should take care of our casting problem. What else do we need to check up on...?
56

Airi

Listen

Come to think of it, how are the costumes coming along? I've been fixing the accessories and stuff bit by bit...
57

Mizuki

Listen

I'm working on the hero's costume right now. It was pretty beat up, but I should be able to get it back in shape!
58

Mizuki

Listen

As for the sisters, their cat ears and a couple other accessories were all that was left. We sorta have to use clothes you and Kusanagi already have for the outfits.
59

Mizuki

Listen

To compensate, I'm gonna make everything look really cute by attaching a bunch of ribbons and stuff! So, stay tuned!
60

Airi

Listen

Hehe. I can't wait to see what you make!
Also, we should meet up to work on costume stuff together!
61

Tsukasa

Listen

Alright, I'm glad to hear that we all seem to know what to do.
62

Nene

Listen

Yeah. But we only have a week and change until the final day...
63

Tsukasa

Listen

I know. How about a toast to celebrate us entering the preparation phase of our show?
64

Nene

Listen

Wait, does that need a toast...?
65

Tsukasa

Listen

Of course! We need to keep ourselves motivated!
66

Airi

Listen

I already finished my drink...
But still, it might be a good way to help us feel more like a team.
67

Mizuki

Listen

Yeah! Let's do it♪
68

Tsukasa

Listen

Then, raise your glasses, you three.
69

Tsukasa

Listen

This may be a short show, but we don't have much time to practice...
70

Tsukasa

Listen

As challenging as this endeavor is going to be, let's make sure our show puts smiles on the faces of Mr. Inuyama and all the guests! Cheers!
71

Airi, Mizuki & Nene

Listen

Cheers!
