Okay, we have a plan for our show!

Next, we need to get everyone else to come and help us!

Yeah, but do you think they'll really be willing to? I mean, they all have their own shows to deal with...

That is a concern. It may not be entirely realistic since they've all been working so hard to do well in this contest...

I have to think that the ones in contention to win will especially be unwilling to just toss everything aside on the final day.

...

None of that matters right now!
We have to act! All of you, let's go!!

Right!

No, we won't be able to help you...

This merry-go-round's going to be demolished. That's just that and I doubt your show will be able to change that...

B-But... Well...

But if this show manages to get enough guests to come to the park, you might be able to save this merry-go-round. That's why we...

This came from the very top. There's nothing any of us can do about it...

I'm sorry, we're not helping.

Oh...

No, that won't be possible.

What?! B-But why?!

Why? Because we'd pretty much be disobeying a direct order, right?

If we do this, won't we be risking having our pay docked or just getting fired outright?

I mean, yeah, I like the way things used to be a lot more...

Then please help us! I beg you! If anything like what you said does happen, I'll do everything I can to stop them!

If you believe that this plan has even the slightest chance of succeeding, won't you consider it?

One show changing all of this? No way...

Sorry, you'll have to find someone else.

*Sob*...

...

Emu! Rui!
How'd things go on your end?

*Sob*... No one wants to help us...
How about you, Tsukasa?

None of the four we asked were willing to help...

I see...
I knew going in, but this is going to be quite a challenge...

Is this really even possible...?

No, we don't know yet...!
We have to ask everyone at every stage and attraction first!

Yeah! So our next stop is...

There...
I was hoping to have more of a backing before asking them for help...

But we don't have a choice!
Let's go!

Tanomo!!

Stop, this isn't a dojo...

Oh, right!
I almost did the same thing!

But we need that sort of energy right now.

Hello, Phoenix Stage troupe!

Hm? Who's there?

Oh, is that...

Ah, so you've finally come...
Wonderlands×Showtime...

That voice...

Sakurako Seiryuin...!

The very same. It's been some time since we last met. I've been waiting for you...!

Heh. The last time we met was during our Christmas show, no, Sakurako Seiryuin?! Hm...?

Hold on. What did you mean by you've been waiting for us? Answer me, Sakurako Seiryuin!

Would you please stop calling me by my full name...?

Yes, it's a lovely and compelling name that just simply rolls off your tongue but...

But why were you waiting for us?

Ah, excuse me. Am I to understand that you've been trying to gather everybody in this park in an effort to put on an incredibly extravagant show?

Huh...?!
How did you know...?!

I happened to overhear your conversation while you were asking one of the other troupes to help.

What? You were eavesdropping?

What?! No, I was there by pure coincidence...!

Anyways, I cannot let this pass without interjecting first myself...

This Show Contest is being held to attract more guests to this park. Why in the world are you trying to ruin that by essentially biting the hand that's feeding you?

Um, well...

We know that what we're trying to do might not actually be possible!

And we understand that it'll probably be a lot easier to get more people to come to the park if a big company from overseas helps us...

But...!
That'll make everyone that loves and cherishes Phoenix Wonderland really, really sad...!

Phoenix Wonderland isn't just a place for young people. It needs to be a place that can make everyone smile!

That's why I want lots and lots of people to come here, and make it so they can all smile and laugh together!

It doesn't matter how impossible it might sound. If there's still a way to make both of those things happen, I'm gonna try it!

...

So please! I beg you!
Help us do this show!

You really think I'll agree to something like this just because you're wearing your heart on your sleeve...?

...!

You're in the running to win this contest too, no? Are you sure about letting that chance just slip by?

Well...

Oh...

(He worked so hard for this contest. Maybe I should...)

We'll just have to find another opportunity...!

What...?

Truth be told, winning this contest was my goal. If this problem didn't rear its ugly head, I would be doing everything I can to win right now.

But we have something much more important to deal with!

We have to save the Phoenix Wonderland that made so many people smile and laugh!

As cast members of this park, we must always make sure that never goes away!

To hell with this contest! There's something much greater at stake right now! We need to act!

Tsukasa...!

Sakurako Seiryuin, this same feeling must dwell somewhere within that heart of yours! There is a part of you that knows this!

...

I'd rather not be lumped together with someone as obnoxious as you are...

W-What?!

However, I do understand where you're coming from...

You do?

If it's my aid you seek, then you must present me a detailed plan first...

Regardless of my ultimate decision, that will be our first step.

Huh? Does that mean...?

You'll listen to our plan?

...!

Three cheers for Seiryuin!

To start, we'll need you to read this. We can further discuss any details after that.

Fine...

...!

Wait, you're serious about this...?

It'd be amazing to actually pull this off but...

(They actually plan on doing this show...?!)

(I've never heard of any other parks doing anything like this. If we do somehow pull this off, it's sure to go viral, but this is beyond just challenging...)

(Yet... I can't get rid of this tingling sensation...)

What do you think, Seiryuin?

*Sigh*...
That's a rhetorical question, right?

We're rather proud of this plan so...

*Sigh*...

Please!
Help us put on this show!

Please...!

Please, join us. If you do, this show will definitely have a much greater chance at succeeding.

Help us, Seiryuin.
You're our only hope!

I...
