Emu

Listen

That's the schedule we currently have leading up to our next show!
2

Sakurako

Listen

Thank you for that. I didn't see any major problems.
3

Sakurako

Listen

However, considering the show's story, we may want to work out how to use the stage devices sooner rather than later...
4

Emu

Listen

Right! The director also told me about some things that he wants to try out...
5

Emu

Listen

So, I believe we should consider bringing in some new equipment for this show!
6

Emu

Listen

We'll have to figure out how to work that into our budget...
7

Emu

Listen

But I plan on doing everything I can to make sure our show makes all the guests smile!
8

Sakurako

Listen

I see. If discussions with the staff are coming along, then it sounds like we have nothing to worry about...
9

Sakurako

Listen

That just leaves you having to talk to our stage manager.
10

Sakurako

Listen

Anyway, Otori, I'm counting on you...
11

Emu

Listen

Yes, I promise to do my best!

12

Emu

Listen

(Hehe☆
Sakurako said she's counting on me!)
13

Emu

Listen

(She was so worried when I first told her that I'd be running things...)
14

Emu

Listen

(But it feels like I'm slowly gaining her trust.)
15

Emu

Listen

No, I can't let my guard down and start acting all loosey-goosey!
16

Emu

Listen

I still have a lot of meetings left at the other stages, so I have to keep doing my best...!
17

Emu

Listen

I need to do everything I can since Keisuke and Shosuke gave me this opportunity to run Phoenix Wonderland's stages!

Emu

Listen

A-Are you sure...?!
19

Emu

Listen

You guys are really gonna let me run the stages at Phoenix Wonderland...?
20

Shosuke

Listen

Yes, but it's not like we're going to immediately let you run everything. It'll be a step-by-step process.
21

Keisuke

Listen

Obviously, we still have the final say and bear ultimate responsibility...
But some experience running stages should benefit you in the future.
22

Emu

Listen

My future...
23

Shosuke

Listen

Ever since your friends left Phoenix Wonderland, you've been following us around and saying, “I wanna learn more about management and stuff”...
24

Shosuke

Listen

Shadowing someone is one way to learn, but experiencing what actually happens on the ground is also important for operators and managers.
25

Shosuke

Listen

And you have an incredibly creative mind.
As the park's operators, we're happy to make use of such an asset.
26

Keisuke

Listen

Exactly. We think we can trust you with this, provided you have the drive. So, what do you say...?
27

Emu

Listen

Yeah!
I wanna do it!
28

Emu

Listen

I wanna learn as much as I can about management to help make my dream come true!
29

Shosuke

Listen

To make your dream come true...
Yes, we had a feeling you'd say that.
30

Emu

Listen

Hehe... I actually made a really important realization while watching you guys work.
31

Emu

Listen

I honestly didn't know just how much thought and effort went into getting someone else to smile and laugh.
32

Emu

Listen

I thought I knew how hard that was...
But I realize now that my understanding was poor.
33

Keisuke

Listen

Emu...
34

Emu

Listen

So, I wanna do this...
35

Emu

Listen

In order to make people all around the world smile, I'll start by filling the stages at Phoenix Wonderland with lots and lots of joy...!
36

Keisuke

Listen

We understand how you feel.
So, we'll do what we can on our end.
37

Keisuke

Listen

Again, we'll still have final say on what happens in the park.
So, you should come up with ideas for making everybody smile the way you always do.
38

Emu

Listen

Okay, I will!
39

Emu

Listen

Hehe. I'm gonna let the others know right away...!
40

Shosuke

Listen

You mean Tenma and them?
41

Emu

Listen

Yup! They're all working super hard towards making their dreams come true, so I wanna tell them that I'm doing the same!
42

Keisuke

Listen

I see...
I take it that means they're each doing well in their new environments?
43

Emu

Listen

They are!
44

Emu

Listen

Anyway, Keisuke, Shosuke...
45

Emu

Listen

Thanks for doing all this for me!
46

Emu

Listen

I promise to do my very best!
47

Keisuke

Listen

Yes, we'll be expecting good results...

Sound Effect: Play

48

Keisuke

Listen

Towards making their dreams come true, huh...?
49

Shosuke

Listen

They're still high schoolers, so I feel like they should be stopping to smell the flowers a little more.
50

Shosuke

Listen

Even when they decided to disband their troupe, they didn't come ask for our advice until everything was basically set in stone.
51

Keisuke

Listen

True...
52

Keisuke

Listen

In any case, we should support Emu however we can when it comes to giving her opportunities to learn more about business management.
53

Keisuke

Listen

Since that should help her make her dream a reality.
54

Shosuke

Listen

Yes, I agree...
55

Staff Member

Alright, let's go with the budget and casting plan we outlined during the meeting we just had...

Understood.
Then, I'll be waiting to hear from you.

Emu

(Hehe. I'm almost done with the stage inspections and meetings I had scheduled!)
59

Emu

Listen

(All that's left is the Wonder Stage.
They should be doing a show right now...)

Alright, in that case...

*Sob*
“Everybody keeps running away because they're so scared of me...”
62

Big Bear

Listen

“But I guess that's natural since I look so big and scary... I'm never going to be able to make any friends...”
63

Boy

Listen

“That's not true. I'm sure everyone will become your friends once they understand what you're really like. I mean, I've never met someone kinder than you! Also...”
64

Boy

Listen

“At the very least, I consider you my friend.”
65

Emu

Listen

(They're all sparkling today too... In particular...)
66

Emu

Listen

(The boy playing the protagonist, Shiratori, has really been on a roll lately☆ I know he's been practicing a lot...!)
67

Children

Listen

The guy playing the main character's so cool!
68

Audience

Listen

I'm actually a huge fan of his.
I've gotta get more great pictures of him today!
69

Boy

Listen

“Don't worry! They might be crying or feeling angry now, but I know a way to get them to become your friends.”

Boy

Listen

“You just need to do a happy dance for them!”

Children

Oh, that sounds like fun...!
Let's try, Dad!
73

Audience

Listen

This is a little embarrassing...
But, umm... Like this?
74

Emu

Listen

(Wow...! They look like they're all having so much fun☆)
75

Emu

Listen

(The kids and the grown-ups. Their eyes are all sparkling.)
76

Emu

Listen

(The crowd and everybody on stage are all smiling!)

Emu

82

Emu

Listen

(Moving forward, I have to do absolutely everything I can to keep it going...!)
83

Emu

Listen

(Especially with how hard the new troupe here is working...)
84

Emu

Listen

(I'm going to fill this park with smiles and laughter that spreads out to the entire world...)
85

Emu

Listen

(I've gotta keep doing more and more to make that happen.)

Nice work, everyone☆
You guys put on another super duper wonderhoy performance today!

Wonder Stage Cast Member A

Listen

Hello, Ms. Otori.
We didn't realize that you were watching!
88

Emu

Listen

Yup! I was actually dancing along with you guys backstage towards the end there!
89

Emu

Listen

I really wish I could see you all perform at that other venue this weekend...
90

Wonder Stage Cast Member A

Listen

Haha. It is a bit far away.
91

Wonder Stage Cast Member B

Listen

But we promise to do our best to make the audience smile when we're over there!

Emu

Great! I'll be rooting for all of you!

Emu

Listen

Huh?
97

Emu

Listen

What's wrong, Shiratori?
Did you forget something?
98

Shiratori

Listen

No, it's not that.
I was actually hoping to discuss something with you...
99

Emu

Listen

Discuss something?

Oh...

Shiratori

Thank you.
Umm...

I'm thinking about leaving the Wonder Stage.
